The next Saturday after her date with Kagami.
Yanagi was at her usual coffee shop today, having a status report meeting with her editor in the name of a meeting.
For writers who tend to stay at home, it is a good opportunity to communicate with others, and for editors, they can prevent successful writers from disappearing by meeting them on a regular basis.
Regardless of such behind-the-scenes circumstances…….
“Yanagi san, how is your manuscript coming along?”
“It’s getting there.”
“What exactly?”
“I’ve written up to 22,000 words……”
Twenty thousand words as of last week. Two thousand words in one week is too crazy. Of course, it’s less than usual.
“Haa. What happened when you went on a date with Kagami san last week…..?”
“I-it’s……”
I didn’t expect to get that close to Kagami sama so quickly.
Besides, he even took an embarrassing picture of me. And then sharing that picture with me.
I’m happy, I’m sad to leave, and excited.
Even with my vocabulary as a novelist, I was unable to work on my manuscript because of the unspoken agony.
The fact that the manuscript has not progressed is entirely Yanagi’s fault, though.
“I mean, did the date with Kagami san make it any harder for you to write?”
If that was the case, it would have been better not to go.
The editor’s words contained this nuance.
More than anything else, Yanagi did not want to be told something that would negate the fun she had had that day.
And there was no way that the editor, who knew Yanagi so well, could not understand that.
“I’m leaving today !”
That’s why he lit it.
Yanagi felt that she had been burned, but still, the feeling of not wanting that dream-like happy day to be denied forced Yanagi to break out of the periodic slump that hits her at around 20,000 characters.
The editor looked at the angry but motivated Yanagi and smiled
“I’ll be waiting for your interesting manuscript, Yanagi san.”
◇
“Fufu. Nfufufu.”
The same night.
Unlike last week, when he happened to be free, Kagamiya had a regular recording session today. He went home and sat on his bed in his room after his bath, looking at the picture he took with Yanagi last week and the selfie Momo had given him, and he was wearing a lazy smile typical of holidays.
“Ah~, so cute. (Nfufu. Such a cute girl is my real friend, you know? Isn’t she cute? All the men in the world must be jealous.)”
A selfie of Momo in her pajamas, completely clean after waking up from sleep.
A two-shot photo with Yanagi, who looked surprised when Kagami suddenly approached her and turned the camera around.
Neither of these photos could be obtained by the average fan.
The reason Kagamiya wanted their selfies was because he wanted to experience this feeling.
A feeling of superiority, of being one step ahead of other fans?
Because they are pictures of cute girls?
That, too. But no.
It’s this euphoric feeling of not being able to stop grinning just by looking at them.
Is it proof that we are friends? Is it proof that we share the same time?
There are many things. But in the end, I wanted a picture of Momo and Yanagi, not because I wanted a reason to say, [This is it !] but because I wanted it after all.
Because it would be nice to get them, right? No matter what you think !
……In the end, no matter how he tries to fix it, Kagamiya himself knows that it’s creepy to ask for pictures of Yanagi and Momo. That’s why he agonizes over it.
Despite that, Kagamiya doesn’t seem to be aware of the clear reason why he wants it.
Kagamiya, who has been nourished by such a situation, has work tomorrow, and just as he was about to go to bed, he received a text message.
“Oh, it’s from Big Sis. How unusual.”
Nadeshiko was the first celebrity with whom Kagamiya exchanged contact information, but he did not contact her that often.
It is not unusual to not hear from her for more than a month.
[You’re doing interesting things like exchanging selfies. I feel lonely, Big Sis felt left out from the group.]
Along with the message, she sent a selfie of herself without makeup, wearing a camisole and shorts.
On the desk, a can of beer and some burnt chicken skin can be seen.
“……Big Sis.”
No, I’m glad, though.
It’s cute and a little naughty. As a high school boy, I’m happy about it, and as someone with a photo fetish, this off-duty feel is very nice.
“(…….If it were found out, it’s through Momo, I guess.)”
We were on the same TV show the other day. Maybe that’s when she knew about it.
If that’s the case, Nadeshiko would have found out that she had committed a terrorist act by suddenly sending a photo of herself after taking a bath.
Considering the embarrassment, I had mixed feelings.
On a plus-minus scale, though, it was somewhat positive.
Kagamiya, for now, considers the contents of the e-mail in return.
Nadeshiko is someone he knows very well, and the picture she sent him was full of a sense of life–at least, it was a far cry from her usual appearance as a pretty actress.
If possible, Kagamiya would have liked to send a slightly eccentric photo.
“That’s right. ..Ah, let’s do this.”
[Will you die if you’re lonely?]
He sent a selfie of himself holding a stuffed rabbit that was in his room for some reason.
This stuffed animal was given to me as a Christmas present when I was little.
The fabric is soft and comfortable to the touch, so I sometimes use it as a cushion or a pillow.
If you think about it calmly, it’s quite embarrassing that there is a stuffed rabbit in the boy’s room, and the fact that he still treasures it because he received it many years ago.
Kagamiya, who sent the message in a half-asleep state, regretted and said, [I should have sent a more normal reply ! !].
