Chapter 236
Are you busy that day?
[Sakura's Garden...: No, it just suddenly occurred to me.]
[Sakura's Garden...: Oh, I see. Saturday... I understand. Saturday morning, I'll send you the location I've decided on. See you that day.]
[I understand (politely), I look forward to meeting you!]
[Happy and excited. jpg]
[Sakura's Garden...: OK. jpg]
He turned off his phone, ending the call. He stretched and glanced at Ichiji Hoshika, who was still motionless, gazing intently at her reflection in the mirror.
She seems to be happy with any hairstyle...
"Oh, manager, what's with your hairstyle?"
PA, who was walking over from the side, noticed her unusual style and covered her mouth with the wide sleeves of her black coat, asking, "Who bandaged you up?"
Ichiji Hoshika's brow twitched, and she looked at her with a frown. "What do you mean? Couldn't I have tied it myself?"
"Hmm... do you even believe that yourself? You always wear your hair down."
"Well, yes, this was made for me by Talent, what do you think?" She tilted her head to show it to her as if she were showing off a new toy.
"Talent? She's certainly quite good-looking." PA nodded in agreement.
"Right, right? I think it's pretty good too!" She was even happier after receiving the recognition and praise.
A little while later, Ichiji Nijika and the others ran out from behind and exclaimed in surprise when they saw her hair.
"Sister! What happened to your hair?!"
"The store manager... is possessed by Ghost!"
"Is the store manager in love?"
"Has the store manager lost his mind?"
"An interesting woman!"
Ichiji Hoshika frowned and glared at them. "You guys are really rude! Is it that weird that I have my hair tied up?"
"That's strange."
"Very strange."
"Ah, this is the first time I've ever seen this!"
"..."
Ichiji Hoshika sighed, resting her chin on her hand. "What kind of image do I really have in your hearts?"
"Who did this for you, sister?" Her younger sister, who knew her very well, leaned closer and asked with a playful smile.
"Talent."
"Mr. Talent?!"
Why are you so surprised?
"No, um... I want one too!" After quickly waving her hand, she avoided her eyes, leaned close to Sakurakoji Talent, and seriously made her request. "Mr. Talent! Help me style my hair too!"
"Hey~ That sounds interesting, I want some too~" PA smiled and chimed in.
"I want one too! I want one too!"
"Ah, if it's possible..."
"Me too."
"What are you doing getting involved, you short-haired guy? Go away."
"..."
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd signing up, Sakurakoji Talent tried to recall how many hair ties she had used that morning, wondering if she had enough... Next time she goes to work, she'll just pack some hair ties and bring them with her.
Fortunately, I got my hair done this morning as Ogura Asahi, so I still have several styles left. When I have only one left, I can just tie it into a high ponytail again.
"Hi~ Hi~ One at a time."
Ichiji Nijika's side ponytail was changed into a high ponytail with a bit of a base; PA's long, Black Long Straight Hair was changed into a slightly voluminous side braid with a housewife vibe; Kita Ikuyo's sunny hairstyle was changed into ballet double braids.
Because Gotou Hitori's personality and preferences are different from those of normal girls, and her taste is also terrible, she was directly transformed into a sweet, cool, and arrogant girl with multiple braids in a rock and roll style.
The remaining two short-haired girls were also given a little treatment.
It's not that short hair can't be used, it's just that there aren't as many options as with long hair. The reason they think that is simply because they haven't seen much of it.
I styled Yamada Ryo's hair into a neutral wolf tail half-bun that she would probably like, Kanau do Little Devil double bun. Everything was done.
Looking at the transformed team, Sakurakoji Talent crossed his arms and nodded with satisfaction at his own skill.
My skills are amazing! The materials are fantastic too, I feel so accomplished!
Is this how Okura Anthony II reacted after seeing his hair? Absolutely.
He tidied up his almost completely disheveled hair, picked up the last hair tie, and casually wrapped it around twice, creating a cool and simple high ponytail hairstyle.
Her slightly effeminate appearance just moments ago suddenly transformed into one of heroic spirit.
With just a simple change in hairstyle, clothing, and accessories, a person's appearance can be completely transformed. If you add makeup, you can change your entire look without even needing to disguise yourself.
"Mr. Talent is amazing! He can do so many different kinds of hairstyles!"
"Ahhh, I'm so handsome! Absolutely incredibly handsome!"
"Hey~ Talent-senpai! Don't I look like a trendy hot girl?"
"Wow, that's really Talent! But isn't this a bit too mature for me? I'm not even married yet!"
"But what's most impressive is that they actually managed to make it for Ryo and the others too..." Ichiji Nijika looked at her two short-haired teammates whose demeanor had changed drastically, her cat-like eyes gleaming.
"Yeah! Ryo-senpai looks even more handsome than before! I love it!" Kita Ikuyo took out her phone and started taking pictures of herself and her.
Although I personally feel that she's not as Sakurakoji Talent now, she's still very cool!
"Heh! Hand over your protection money!" Yamada Ryo lifted Ichiji Nijika's chin and threatened her coldly.
"Mo~ What are you doing~!" Ichiji Nijika blushed and raised her fists to gently tap her shoulders alternately.
"Hey! You guys, stop playing around! It's opening hours, get back to your posts!"
Ichiji Hoshika glanced at the time, finally put down the mirror, and called out to them.
The reason Ichiji Nijika and the others came out earlier was because it was time to open the door—it was time for their part-time job.
Although Sakurakoji Talent's movements were fluent, his dawdling had already exceeded the hour.
"Ah! I'll go open the door right away!" Hearing the urging, Ichiji Nijika jogged towards the door.
Selling tickets and food.
After the usual one-hour peak crowds Takamine, Sakurakoji Talent pulled out his phone again.
An hour later, several more people's new messages appeared on the screen.
Sigh, when will this end? Being popular is exhausting, even though his dream is just to languish.
He replied to each of them, and when he saw one of their messages, he blinked in surprise.
"Huh?"
The sender was Kawaragi Momoka, and the message was:
[Mmk: I've arrived in Tokyo and have nowhere to stay tonight. Can I stay at your place for a while? Hotels in Tokyo are too expensive.]
[Mmk: sitting on the ground and crying. gif]
She's in Tokyo? When? What's she doing here? He tilted his head in confusion, asking three questions in quick succession. There was no mention of it in the group chat.
This isn't surprising, since the five of them live together now, and they usually discuss things directly when they meet in person, rather than repeating them in the group chat.
[Sakurakoji Talent: Sure, but I'm currently working and won't be back for a while. Here's the address, you can go there by yourself first.]
A short while later, Kawaragi Momoka sent a reply.
[Mmk: Working? You?!]
[Mmk: What kind of new joke is this? Even Young Master need to work?]
[Sakurakoji Talent: Is there any rule that says Young Master can't work?]
[Mmk: Experiencing life?]
[Sakurakoji Talent: Well~ just assume that's how it is]
[Mmk: Well~ ee-ya~ (Never mind), anyway, I'm not finished yet, it'll take some more time.]
[Sakurakoji Talent: Okay, I've sent you the address. Just come to the booth on the first floor and wait for me after you're done. If you feel thirsty, just ask the staff there for a glass of water.]
[Mmk: OK (smiling). jpg]
[Mmk: Thank you for taking me in (cat kneeling in worship). gif]
[Sakurakoji Talent: Your stage costumes are almost finished, so you can take them back with you later.]
[Mmk: Oh? Is it ready? Looking forward to it!]
He put down his phone and looked at Ichiji Hoshika not far away. It seemed he would have to leave early tonight.
Fortunately, apart from the cooking which requires a professionally trained person, anyone can handle the simpler tasks afterwards.
Kawaragi Momoka said it would take a while, so he'll go back in another half hour.
Around 8 PM, Sakurakoji Talent took a car back to his apartment.
As he reached the entrance on the first floor, he suddenly wondered if Yukino Shita Yukino and the others had gone back.
At this point, they should at least go back, especially since Yuihama Yui is still there...
Upon entering the lobby, he immediately turned his gaze to the business lounge area on one side and spotted a beautiful woman with silver-gray hair, simple attire, and a cool and stylish demeanor.
Chapter 290: I already said if you can't drink, then don't drink!
"Momoka!" he called out as he walked towards her.
The other person was dressed in ordinary, close-fitting casual clothes, with medium-length hair casually draped over their shoulders. Compared to women's clothing, it looked more like they were wearing men's clothing that allowed for easy movement, and their attire was completely out of place with the overall atmosphere here.
But combined with her capable and spirited demeanor, as well as her beautiful and charming appearance, she can transform this seemingly simple outfit into a striking and unique style. There are very few people like her.
"Um?"
Kawaragi Momoka was casually lounging on the sofa with her arms draped over her shoulders and legs crossed while playing on her phone, turned around when she heard the voice, and grinned when she saw it was him.
"They're here! They're here!"
She stood up and joined him in the middle, Kawaragi Momoka raised her hand to greet him, "Yo, long time no see, Talent!"
"It's been over a week. How have you been?" He led her toward the elevator.
"It's alright, I've been composing and rehearsing with Nina and the Nina a lot lately, it's exhausting."
"That's to be expected, otherwise how long would it take to break into the Budokan?"
"Seriously, you're saying that again..."
"Heh," he said, pressing the floor button as he entered the elevator. "So, when did you arrive in Tokyo? Today?"
"Yes, I took the JR line this morning to check out the livehouses around here."
"Inspecting livehouses? You're already planning to expand into Tokyo so soon?" Sakurakoji Talent was quite surprised.
They've only been in band for less than a month, isn't this a bit too fast?
"It didn't get to that level, but we've performed at almost every livehouse in Kawasaki recently." Kawaragi Momoka patted her hands down with a blank expression.
