I Want to See You

A scholar-official next to him was holding a script and reciting lines with him:

"Hey, it's definitely Sakurajima Shuya, right?"

"That's right."

Shuya look at the scholar-official; he just kept performing his act.

The actors who played students all came out and stood watching from a distance, with Mai also watching from the side.

This scene is really silly, but that's how it is when filming, so no one feels embarrassed.

Then Shuya and the scholar-officials would take turns reciting lines.

The person who called him was his former manager, Kanda Masataka.

He contacted Shuya he wanted to invite him back to the entertainment industry.

As the conversation deepens, the plot begins to unfold.

It turns out that after Sakurajima Shuya retired, Kanda Masataka worked hard and was finally recognized by the agency, turning from a manager into a producer.

Initially, his work was very successful, launching several popular idols and groups.

But then his luck turned bad.

First, a female idol she was in was ruined because of her affair.

Then, a girl group that had invested a lot of effort in had a minor member caught using drugs and died.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. The already troubled idol group had another member photographed dating, causing the entire group to completely collapse.

Because of these three incidents, Kanda Masataka was questioned by the agency's higher-ups. Although they did not pursue the matter too much, they made him take a break for a period of time as punishment.

After a month of being idle, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. In a fit of anger, he left the firm to start his own business and contacted the people he had built up in the past, intending to make a comeback and prove his abilities.

The staff were easy to find; he left peacefully without falling out with his former firm, so no one gave him any trouble in that regard.

He quickly gathered all the employees.

But as an entertainment agency, it can't function without artists, and that's where he's currently stuck.

Most of the artists he knew were under contract and he couldn't poach them. Having experienced setbacks, he was no longer willing to easily trust others. After much thought, Sakurajima Shuya the most suitable candidate.

In his eyes, Sakurajima Shuya had great potential.

At least in terms of looks, there's nothing wrong with him; his appearance alone is enough to charm young girls.

"---That's it. Sakurajima Shuya, come back! Let's dominate the industry together!"

Kanda Masataka (voice actor: Shidaifu) is excited and chuunibyou (delusional) in a very authentic way.

But Shuya remained unmoved.

In the shot, Shuya's eyes, hidden beneath his hair, subtly changed, conveying a sense of melancholy to the audience.

The camera perfectly captured even the slightest changes in his eyes and expression.

Horiuchi Susumu seeing this.

That acting was amazing.

These melancholic, beautiful young men are absolutely irresistible to women. (The emphasis is on "beautiful young men").

In comparison, the male lead was completely outshone in both looks and acting skills.

Fortunately, no one, including himself, compares him to Shuya, otherwise he would definitely be furious and wouldn't be watching with such enjoyment.

Shuya's acting was quick and precise, revealing its full potential immediately.

It's not time to tell his backstory yet; if we continue, the story will get out of control.

Sakurajima Shuya decisively declined Kanda Masataka's invitation, but then immediately offered a recommendation.

"You mean... your classmate?"

Kanda Masataka doubtfully, "I still trust your judgment, and I can meet him. But could you tell me first what qualities you have that would make him worth recommending?"

Shuya leaned his head back against the wall.

He said thoughtfully:

"It's a smile."

"...?"

Then, Kanda Masataka, completely bewildered, had the call ended.

"Card."

At this point in the filming, Horiuchi Susumu called for a halt.

It was Amami Seiji the stage.

Shuya remained standing still, while the actors playing students and Amami Seiji returned to the classroom.

Soon, Amami Seiji walked out of the classroom with a sigh.

He arrived near the spot where Shuya, and listlessly leaned against the window, gazing at the scenery.

"It's a smile" is also a meme, but I don't want to explain it; it's too embarrassing to tell a meme myself.

Section 656, Chapter 612: I Want to See You

After Shuya hung up the phone, he found a dejected Asakawa Jun slumped against a nearby window, looking lost in thought.

"Well..."

He looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.

"Hey, Asakawa."

Shuya struck up a conversation with him.

"Who?!"

Asakawa Jun was startled.

He turned around and saw Shuya waving his phone at him.

Then an email was sent to his phone; it was a phone number.

He asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

"I know someone in the entertainment industry; you could try to meet him."

"Wait, wait!"

After finishing his Shuya, Xiu left gracefully, ignoring Asakawa Jun's attempts to stop him.

"Card!"

Horiuchi Susumu shouted with satisfaction.

With this, all of Shuya's scenes in the second episode have come to an end.

Next, the production team will film the remaining school scenes for the second episode, and then they will take Amami Seiji to other locations to film the specific audition scenes.

But none of that matters Shuya.

Horiuchi Susumu, "As expected of Shu-chan, he didn't even have to do a single retake."

"You flatter me. The main thing is that the plot isn't complicated."

Shuya shook his head.

He wouldn't be pleased by such a compliment.

"That's true." Horiuchi Susumu. "Leave the rest to us. You can go and rest... Ah, it's alright if you leave first."

"Right."

Aoki Shin said.

Famous people like Shuya usually have very tight schedules. They don't know his specific schedule, but it's customary to say something like that.

"Then I'll be going now."

See you next time.

After Shuya finished speaking, Mai also greeted him.

She didn't have any scenes to film today; she came purely to see Shuya act.

Haha, you two have such a good relationship.

Aoki Shin made a pointed joke.

He's a long-time fan of any pairing.

Shuya skillfully ignored him.

He and Mai said goodbye to everyone and left the film crew.

"Is there anywhere to go?"

Mai asked.

"How about we go see your sister's performance?"

Shuya laughed, saying that he had seen they were performing today while he was looking for information.

"Shut up."

Mai gave him a light kick.

Shuya chuckled cheekily before saying, "I was very busy before, but now that I have some free time, I'm planning to go see Kirino- chan."

After a few days, Kirino should have made a decision by now, and he was curious about her choice.

"In that case, you don't need to go. She's resigned from the department."

Mai tells Shuya the answer.

Shuya asked in confusion, "Did she mention that in the group chat? I don't recall ever hearing it."

"Not yet, she revealed it when she had a heart-to-heart talk with me."

"She even had a heart-to-heart talk with you?"

"Yes, thanks to someone who often talks to me, I occasionally get to confide in others."

Mai's words were quite sarcastic.

Then she told Shuya about Kirino.

After returning to school, Kirino initially thought there wouldn't be any problem participating in club activities.

But she soon realized she was wrong.

When the gap between you and others is too large, it becomes difficult to have fun together.

Kirino's strength or weakness won't affect her relationships with her friends, but her club is a competitive land-based club, which has a significant impact.

When she rejoined the club activities, she realized just how far she had fallen behind others.

She hadn't seriously considered this matter, so naturally she wasn't prepared at all. She was completely shocked.

Even though the other club members were running with all their might, Kirino knew that if she wanted to, she could overtake them instantly, even if they were just before the finish line.

That's how brutal the difference in strength is.

The once harmonious environment is now filled with only incompatibility.

This represents a complete transcendence of her physical abilities, a distance between the extraordinary and the ordinary.

They're from completely different worlds...

On the first day, Kirino hesitated and chose to suppress her abilities, pretending that her skill level was the same as before.

But that would only make her more awkward and turn what used to be fun club activities into something extremely boring.
