Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

".Beicheng Jun."

Sitting next to Kitaki Minoru, Akiyama Shion spoke softly.

"Um?"

Kitaki Minoru, who was flipping through a book, raised his head.

"Don't you hate me?"

Unlike Kitazumi, Akiyama Shion, who was sitting upright, quietly raised her doubts.

"Before answering Shion-chan's question, I need to understand first, why do I hate you?"

The other party asked with a straight face.

"Isn't it because Beicheng-kun and I are in a competitive relationship? We are all like this. When it comes to role auditions, we are all very unfriendly."

Akiyama Shion did not use the word "intrigue", but used the word "unfriendly" to express her thoughts implicitly.

"So that's what it means."

Kitaki Minoru was a little funny.

He asked why the "precocious girl" in front of him shrank when he first met him.

Turns out that was what I was worried about.

He was aware of the intrigue among actors.

There are also cases where a servant is ostracized by other servants because he is too outstanding.

but.

What does that have to do with him?

With his methods, he might not be able to target adults, but wouldn't it be easy to target a few precocious little kids?

to be honest.

Precocious children are still just children.

It can't be against Tiangang.

Kitazumi closed the book and said with a smile: "Of course it would be a lie to say you don't care. But to be honest, auditions still have to rely on strength."

Yes.

Honma Feiyan also said it.

If you want a role, you have to rely on your strength to get it.

No exceptions.

That being the case.

"As long as I win Shion-chan, I can win the role."

"In the same way, if I fail to pass the audition, it can only mean that you are more skilled and won this role with your strength. I may feel regretful, but I will not regret it."

So…

"Shion-chan, do you hate me very much?"

Hate Kitami Minoru?

Although we have only known each other for a short period of time.

But it was very easy to get along with Kitumi Minoru.

There is no need to wear a fake smile on your face like other servants, and consider various issues such as 'honorific language' and 'etiquette'.

She can properly express what she has been suppressing in her heart, and the other person will not feel troubled, but will listen to her attentively and continue to speak.

This alone is very rare in the industry.

"I-I don't hate Beicheng-kun. Aren't we friends?"

This is the first time she has said such words to a boy of the same age.

The voice was stammering.

He was so shy that even his tall body, which was much better developed than that of ordinary slaves, was trembling slightly.

"Really? I don't hate Shion-chan either."

Kitaki Minoru smiled.

He casually said something that made Akiyama Shion shy.

After a while.

Akiyama Shiyin spoke softly.

"Also, I think Beicheng-kun will definitely win me in this audition."

"Why?"

Kitaki Minoru is a little strange.

He had seen many Ziyi who said he would win, but this was the first time he saw one who said he would definitely lose.

"Because Beicheng-kun's acting skills are really great. If I have to say...well...I am the challenger...right?"

When he said this, Akiyama Shion looked at Kitaki Mi with a little longing.

That kind of layered and infectious acting.

She had only seen it in the adult actors of her family's Grand Maritime Troupe.

Beicheng-kun, you are really amazing.

He is obviously two years younger than me.

But he has that kind of infectious acting skills.

"is that so?"

Looking at Akiyama Shion's expression.

Kitaki Minoru felt a little bit in the mood of teasing the other party.

He deliberately wore a depressed expression.

"Oh, the more Shion-chan says this, the less confident I become. After all, you are a top-notch servant in the industry. When you say this, you are trying to comfort me."

"No, that's not the case!"

These words made Akiyama Shion's voice rise slightly.

Then he felt that this seemed to have an impact on the surrounding staff, so he embarrassedly covered Yingfen's lips and continued to comfort him in a low voice.

"Beicheng-kun's acting skills are really great."

"But coming from Shion-chan's mouth, there is no credibility at all."

Kitazumi sighed.

"Huh? Why, why do you say that?"

Hearing what the other party said, Akiyama Shion felt a little panicked in her heart without knowing why.

"Because you see, even though Shion-chan is friends with me, she still calls me 'Beicheng-kun'."

Kitazumi seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Then I change my mind! I'm sorry, Minoru-chan."

She bowed and apologized repeatedly, for fear of upsetting her new friend.

but--

"Shion-chan has no sincerity at all!"

Kitazumi looked a little disgusted.

This made Akiyama Shiyin's dignified and delicate face become a little uneasy.

But she didn't know what to do, so she could only ask in a low voice.

"Then what should I do? Minoru-chan?"

"Then can you show me Shion-chan's hands?"

"hand?"

"Can't you?"

Akiyama Shion's hands are very beautiful, white and tender, very eye-catching.

"No, it's okay."

Feeling Kitumi Minoru's gaze, Akiyama Shion finally gave up her struggle and raised her palms on her knees obediently.

At the same time, her bright eyes also showed some confusion.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

She always felt that Kitasumi was waiting to make this request from the beginning.

But it’s no use to say this now.

Kitasumi has come closer.

“…”

Shi-chan smells so good.

I don’t know what shampoo she used.

Her hair smells sweet, like the smell of honey tangerine.

Akiyama Shion sniffed it twice, and then realized that this behavior was not good.

So she looked around secretly.

After finding that no one was paying attention, she gently moved her white and tender nose and sniffed a few times.

I don’t know why…

I always feel… a little satisfied.

But Kitasumi didn’t notice these.

He just looked at Akiyama Shion curiously.

Akiyama Shion’s hands are very beautiful.

He noticed it from the beginning.

White and tender ten fingers, with healthy red crescent nails.

“It’s really beautiful.”

Kitasumi praised.

"Because I have been doing hand care."

Akiyama Shion was a little embarrassed by being looked at, and she shrank her palm and answered honestly.

Her mother not only made her systematically learn vocal music, dance and other courses, but also spent a lot of money to hire a nurse.

She spends an hour every night to keep in shape according to the nurse's requirements.

"Hand care?"

Her words aroused Kita Sumire's interest.

First-class actors are really different, and there is even such a thing as hand care.

"Shion-chan, can I hold your hand?"

"Hey hey? That's a bit..."

Akiyama Shion turned back embarrassedly.

"I want to hold it, is it not okay?"

Kita Sumire looked up and looked at it, and the words were natural.

And this was the same request as her mother.

But Akiyama Shion didn't know why, she didn't hate it at all.

"Just... just for a while. I, I only hold it for Minoru-chan."

She responded softly.

Then, she felt a small hand gently drilled into her palm.

The soft and smooth touch is not inferior to her own hands that she has been taking care of for a long time.

She couldn't help but tighten her palms.

"How are my hands?"

Kita Sumi asked just the right question.

".Uh. That's very.soft."

The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Does Shion-chan like it?"

"Yes."

"I like Shion-chan's hands too. They feel soft to the touch."

Kita Sumi laughed happily and let go of her hand.

It was the moment he let go of her hand.

Akiyama Shion herself didn't realize that she subconsciously said "ah".

The two children sat back down.

Then.

Looking at Akiyama Shion in front of her, whose head was at most up to her chest and who could already be called a girl.

Kita Sumi asked her first question.

"Speaking of which, why did Shion-chan want to visit Director Shimizu? Is there something you want to see me about?"

A top-notch actor in the industry came to visit other directors for no reason?

Looking for something to do?

Is he dissatisfied that he doesn't have enough work?

Not to mention that Shimizu-san and Akiyama Shion are not familiar with each other at all.

If you insist on saying that they are somewhat related.

Kitasumi Shion is probably the only one.

After all, Honma Fuhiko just said that he would give him an audition opportunity.

Then Akiyama Shion took the initiative to come to him.

Kitasumi Shion naturally wanted to ask about the details.

Of course -

It is impossible for him to give up this job opportunity.

Even if Akiyama Shion is really good-looking, it is useless.

"That's it. I want to ask Minoru-chan, why does Minoru-chan want to act?"

Akiyama Shion hesitated at first.

But thinking that she and Kitasumi Shion should be considered friends.

She still asked the question.

Because she can feel it as a child actor.

Kitasumi Shion is the same kind of person as herself.

They are not so willing to act.

But it is Kitasumi Shion who is not so willing to act.

Why can he show such great acting skills and passion for acting on the set?

Thinking of her own situation, she was of course curious and asked.

Is it that she has the ideal of becoming a talented actress?

Or does she want to please her parents?

It's hard to say.

Actresses in the industry have various reasons for participating in acting.

I wonder what kind of reasons Kita Sumire has to maintain such a high enthusiasm for performance on the scene?

For her, who was half-forced to act by her mother, she really wants to know the source of motivation for Kita Sumire, who is better than herself.

And then——

"Because I have no money."

Kita Sumire thought for a while and said very straightforwardly.

"Ah?"

Akiyama Shion was stunned, and her cherry pink lips opened slightly.

It's not her fault.

Because this is her first time.

In the industry of actresses, I heard her peers say such realistic reasons for participating in acting.

Thank you for the reward from Zhuoyi Jiuying! Thank you very much!
