A few days later.
"......"
On this day too, Yui took the day off school to come and take part in the shoot.
The shooting location was close to the school, so it didn't take long to get there, but Yui was soon dissatisfied when she arrived.
The producer, who had arrived before Yui, was talking with the director, but when Yui arrived he glanced over at her.
His gaze seemed somehow more lewd and obscene than before.
Aina, who we usually rely on, isn't here today as she has no filming scheduled.
I thought about telling my co-stars or staff, but I can't just spread rumors about something that didn't actually happen.
What's worse, there's a possibility that someone may be under the influence of the producer.
"...Oh my, I wonder what Takkun is doing right now."
He has had a hard time going to school, and with his first big role, he's so busy practicing when he gets home that he can't even talk to Takuya on the phone.
Thanks to this, Yui was relieved that she wouldn't have to meet Yu, but not being able to see her boyfriend only made her feel anxious.
"Why do I have to take time off school to play the heroine of a high school student?"
Yui was earnestly persuaded that she would suit the image of a heroine who is both a current high school student and an unparalleled beauty.
Yui is happy to be called a beautiful girl, but that doesn't mean she can be happy about it.
It feels a bit like she's putting the cart before her head to leave her real-life school life behind and play the heroine in a movie.
"Hey, you must be Yui-chan. How was your first film shoot?"
Whether he was aware of the various emotions swirling inside Yui or not, the producer spoke to her.
When Yui looked up, the producer casually raised one hand and answered her.
"Ah, yes Producer… I'm nervous, but… I'll think of this as a good experience and do my best."
Yui was surprised and was late in noticing because she was thinking about something, but she quickly gave an inoffensive reply.
"Haha, Yui-chan is a reliable girl. She was still in high school, right?"
Even though they haven't spoken much since they met, the producer casually calls Yui by her name and continues to give her lewd looks.
(I'm pretty sure this guy was in his fifties...)
It's just unpleasant to be looked at as only a member of the opposite sex by a man about the same age as my father.
"Also, you don't have to call me Producer or something like that. You can just call me Yoneda-san."
Yui insists on continuing to speak as an actress and producer, but she introduces herself and forces him to call her by her real name.米田producer
"Umm, then... Yoneda-san. You were here the other day too, but is it okay for you to be at the site?"
Normally, the producer's job is to leave the on-site work to the director and other staff, and to find sponsors and manage the overall progress.
Yui has also rarely seen the producer on set in the dramas she has appeared in so far.
"You don't need to worry so much, I'm doing my job well. It's cruel to say that someone is slacking off, Yui-chan."
"Ah, no. I didn't mean to do that... I'm sorry."
"Hahaha. Just kidding, kidding. I don't think that so don't worry Yui-chan, I know the other producers won't be coming to the scene. Besides, it's fine because I'm working hard."
Yoneda always calls Yui's name.
"Besides, it's my job as a producer to make friends with people I haven't talked to much and expand my network."
Yoneda said this with a kindly smile, but Yui noticed that his eyes were hopelessly distorted.
"Is that so? I've spoken to directors before, but I've rarely spoken to producers, so I didn't know them very well."
"That's true. So, should I tell you more about what I do as a producer?"
A blatant invitation.
Although Yui hadn't been directly hit on yet, she thought the rumors were probably true to some extent, especially the part about him hitting on an actress.
"Well... it's okay. I'm an actress, and I don't think I'll have many opportunities to talk to producers in the future."
"Really? But I think we'll talk again, since I plan on stopping by quite often from now on."
Yui thinks to herself that she wants him to give up quickly, but Yoneda doesn't care.
"So let's talk again then. You can't really understand the feelings of young people unless you talk to young people. But you can understand the feelings of older people without talking."
He laughed lightly and said, "I'm getting old too."
"That must be difficult."
In fact, the works this producer has worked on have sold well. He certainly has an eye for such things.
However, it was unbearable to continue the conversation while he used that as an excuse to look at me with ulterior motives.
"Well, it's a good stimulant, and I get to talk to cute girls like Yui-chan."
"Ahaha..."
Yui, wanting to settle this as peacefully as possible, smiles politely.
"Ah, there you are. Producer, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."
Then the director comes over to call the producer.
"What's wrong?"
"No, wait a minute..."
The director gives the impression that he doesn't want Yui to hear what he has to say and is about to leave the situation.
"Okay. See you later, Yui-chan."
"Yes, good luck with your work."
Yui breathed a sigh of relief as she exchanged polite words with Yoneda as he walked away.
