Nishiumi’s expression turned slightly shadowy.

Perhaps it was because “bright” had always come first.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Nishiumi’s downcast expression.

“Right now, I’m working as a model and influencer, but actually, I’ve always wanted to be an actress. I’ve been to a lot of auditions since I joined the agency, but I’ve never passed.”

Nishiumi gives a dry smile.

“I’ve been having a lot of fun until I joined the agency! But suddenly I’m not good enough,…… and I’m losing a little bit of confidence.”

“Nishiumi ……”

“So when I saw how fast you grew and won, I thought you are amazing and I thought it was great. But I’m not as amazing as you… or rather, I thought I’m not a hero.”

With the setting sun in the background, Nishiumi spoke.

Nishiumi came to her senses and started laughing as usual.

“Wa-w-what’s wrong with me all of a sudden? I’m sorry! Maybe I was exposed to the setting sun! I would never say something like this normally… I mean, I hardly ever lose my nerve! Haha, what’s wrong with me… Forget about that whole thing just now…”

“—It’s not weird.”

“…… Eh?”

Before I knew it, the words were coming out of my mouth.

But I didn’t feel any regret at all.

 
Nishiumi had her mouth hanging open in shock, so I turned to her to tell her what I was thinking.

“Everyone feels weak sometimes.”

“Is that …… you too?”

“I do, too, of course. I …… do it sometimes.”

“What do you mean sometimes,……?”

I can’t remember the last time I felt vulnerable.

I’ll keep quiet about this.

The reason I want to talk now is not about that.

“Nishiumi, you said earlier that your confidence is low.”

“Y-yeah”

“I don’t know Nishiumi very well, and I don’t know how difficult the audition process is,……, but I don’t think Nishiumi needs to lose confidence.”

“Eh? Why ……?”

Nishiumi asked fearfully.

I looked straight at Nishiumi and said in unmistakable words

“Because Nishiumi is sure to become an actress.”

“!!!!!”

“I think Nishiumi can be anything. That’s how attractive Nishiumi is.”

When I finished speaking, Nishiumi covered her mouth with her hand.

Then she looked at me with shaking eyes.

*Nishiumi Honatsu’s point of view

Sakun’s words jumped out at me.

What is this ……?

It’s a very strange feeling, but one thing is for sure – I’m very happy.

His words were short and simple.

If this were a novel or a drama, I’m sure there would be more dramatic and elaborate words.

But I was more moved by your words than any other words. I was saved.

I think it was because Sakun said it to me.

Sakun’s eyes were serious and there was no lie in them.

He told me that, and looked at me.

I felt as if I could be serious, and the confidence that I had lost seemed to well up in me.

“I’m rooting for you, Nishiumi.”

“!!!!”

Sakkun has a blank expression.

He doesn’t laugh much, and he doesn’t seem to soften up.

But there is something gentle about Sakkun’s face right now.

My heart feels slowly filled.

While chewing on this euphoric feeling, I remove my hand from my mouth.

I turned my head and looked at my wobbly feet for a moment before turning my attention back to him and saying,

“Thank you, Sakkun!”

From the bottom of my heart, I was smiling now.

It was so intense that I began to wonder if the smile I had been wearing up until then had been a lie.

“Y-You’re welcome?”

“why the question form?!”

He is funny.

And a little bit strange.

But – he is a very lovely and wonderful person.

“Thank you for sending me home.”

“Yeah.”

When I opened the automatic door of my office, I looked at him and said,

“See you later, Sakun.”

“Ou.”

We exchanged a short greeting and parted.

Sakun left without a care in the world.

I stared at his back.

Sakun pushed me back.

I have to work harder and harder!

“……Oh, that reminds me.”

I suddenly remembered.

Just like today, a year ago, Sakkun would come to the office as if it were the most natural thing in the world…I wonder how he knew where the office was.
 
A year ago, he came without even looking at his smartphone, and even now, it seemed like he was a regular visitor.

That’s …….

“………… Well, I’ll listen next time!”

With that in mind, I walked into the office with Sakkun’s encouragement in my heart.

*Osawa Mikoto’s Point of View

I call Hazuki and the others today.

“Well, I haven’t been able to get in touch with Atsuya lately, do you know how he’s doing?”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t been able to get in touch with him either.”

“I don’t know~”

“I don’t know either. …”

“I wonder what he’s doing, he’s a brainiac. so I think he’s too irritated to go out and riot.”

“Haha, indeed.”

“He’s an idiot, isn’t he, Ryuzaki?”

“…………”

For some reason, the fact that I have not been able to get in touch with Atsuya is bothering me

The other day, the friend who kidnapped Yukimiya was beat up in return and sent to the police… I have a bad feeling about this.

“But aren’t their suspensions about to end soon? What about Hazuki and Yumi?”

“I’m sorry for being a step ahead of you, you two.”

“I’m so happy to finally be able to go out~”

“I’m so jealous of you!~”

Hazuki and Yumi were suspended for two weeks less than us.

I and Hiroto had another two weeks.

“But don’t worry, okay? Yumi and the others will take good care of the virgin boy, okay?~”

“Ahahahahahaha! That’s a relief! But seriously, that loner might have been dumped by Yukimiya right about now lol. Don’t you think so too, Mikoto? lol”

“! ……, yeah, that’s right.”

“But anyway, isn’t it possible that he’s being bullied by his classmates at our school? lol”

“Yeah, that’s true lol. When we got suspended, Ozeki from the class next door got really angry.”

“You guys have a lot of friends, right Yumi?”

“Especially Yumi? lol”

“Hiroto is vulgar though~. But it’s not like that.”

I wonder how the guys at Nari High School would react to that shady piece of shit.

I’m sure they don’t think well of him

I mean, he defied us, the ones at the top of the hierarchy… so maybe we can look forward to that lol

“Well, I can’t wait to get back at him after the suspension!”

“Ahaha, you’re right.”

I want to get back at him anyway.

I want to double this humiliation.

…… but I’m still stuck.

“Mizuki, Saku……”

Is he really just a shady guy?…….
