for Advance Chapter
Wednesday.
In the morning, Yui was shooting scenes with minor characters in an abandoned school building.
This abandoned school building is a former junior high school located near the high school that Yui and her friends usually attend.
Meanwhile, the main heroine, Ayana, had been filming with the actor playing the lead character at a different location in the morning, and had just arrived at this location and met up with him.
Yui and her friends have been using one of the classrooms for their lunch break for a while now.
"Kougami-san..."
When Yui saw Ayana opening the classroom door, she spoke to her.
"Hmm? Ah, Shimotsuki... eh? Wh, what's wrong with Shimotsuki-san?"
Yui, who is usually as bright and cheerful as a clear Japanese sky, had a gloomy expression on her face, as if it were a cloudy day.
Ayana is confused by Yui's sudden change in behavior and calls out to her with a worried look on her face.
"Umm, Yoneda-san..."
"Yoneda... Ah, are you talking about the producer?"
Come to think of it, that was the name, Ayana recalled.
"You're calling me by my name, Yui-chan."
Although it is possible to call someone by their name once you have become familiar with them, it is more common to call them by their job title.
Because actors are required to appear on various set shoots, they have difficulty remembering the names of people they don't have much contact with, such as co-stars and on-site supervisors, and even producers.
Rather than spending time memorizing such things, an actor should focus on acting.
"Um, well... yes. I was told to call you that..."
"...Ah, that's what I mean."
There are other co-stars in the classroom besides Yui.
When Yoneda's name was mentioned, Ayana thought it might be better if others didn't hear, and carefully took Yui to a secluded corner.
"Could it be... well, did something happen while I was away...?"
"No, that's not it yet... It's just that your gaze is, what should I say..."
This happened many times during the shoot this morning, and the guy spoke to me in a very natural way.
Every time this happened, and the filming location was close to school, I felt the urge to run away to Takuya.
(But Takkun... he doesn't understand me...)
Her feelings for Takuya haven't changed, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings for him, and she doesn't just have pure affection for him like she did before.
Still, when she feels like she wants to rely on someone, the first person that comes to mind is her boyfriend, Takuya.
"Have you spoken to your manager or something?"
"No... Well, it's not like anything has happened to him yet..."
"But it will be too late if something happens."
"That's true, but..."
No one actually laid a hand on her, nor was there any evidence to prove that the rumors were true.
Yui has an appearance that is even called angelic. This is not the first time that such a person has been looked at lewdly, and if she had to consult someone every time it happened, it would never end.
"I wonder if that's why people call you an angel, Yui-chan. But, Yui-chan, if you're too kind you'll only end up hurting yourself. Even if people call you an angel, you're still a human being, so it's okay to say no to things you don't like."
"yes..."
"Manager... no, let's go talk to the director first."
A manager has almost no authority on the set. Ayana decided that it would be better to talk to the director, who is the person in charge of the film set.
The director of this film is known for being a kind person and for listening carefully to the actors' concerns.
"Y-Yes."
Ayana and Yui leave the classroom and start walking down the hallway in search of the director.
and.
"Ah, Director."
It was probably originally the principal's office. I entered the room, which had a somewhat impressive appearance, and there I found the director I was looking for.
However, there was also a bonus called Yoneda.
"Ayana-san... and Shimotsuki-san. Is something wrong?"
"I need to talk to the director for a bit."
Ayana tries to somehow get the director away from Yoneda.
She shot a quick glance at Yoneda without coming across as annoying, and conveyed from his attitude that he was getting in the way.
"is that so"
The director noticed this and asked Yoneda with his eyes.
"That's fine. I have some business to attend to with you, Shimotsuki-san."
Then Yoneda answered yes.
It was just a coincidence that Yui didn't say "Eh?"
However, if things continued like this, Yui would be left alone with Yoneda. This fact made her heart pound loudly, stirring up anxiety.
"That's good to hear. It seems the producer also wants to talk to Shimotsuki-san alone, so that's perfect."
With that said, the director prepares to leave the place, taking Ayana alone.
"Hey, wait a second, Director. Shimotsuki-san, please come with us..."
Ayana tries to stop the director, but as if he is not listening, he takes Ayana out of the classroom.
"We can finally be alone together, Yui-chan."
It was only when Yoneda saw them off and gave them a grin that they finally realized what was going on.
The coach is on Yoneda's side.
