Shinichi Iwahashi came for the second time in the small and exquisite restaurant in Aoyama. He didn't feel familiar with the family, but instead, Mako Kikuchi's aunt had a bit of entertainment for regular customers.

However, it was not so much because he came to the store for the second time, but because he knew that he was a customer of Kikuchi Taozi.

Just now, Shinichi Iwahashi called back, and the other end of the phone was Kikuchi Taozi. Suddenly, Shinichi Iwahashi felt a little confused and guessed that it was for something.

Kikuchi Taozi was straight to the point and cheerful, "Congratulations on the successful launch of the program."

Shinichi Iwahashi reacted.

She explained herself, "I saw the name of Iwahashi Sang in the list of cast members at the end of the show." Kikuchi Momoko said, "I think... there will be no other 'Iwahashi Shinichi' in the industry except you."

Shinichi Iwahashi made this sentence amused, "It sounds amazing when you say this."

Kikuchi Momoko smiled, "It may not be that way." Her straightforward expression of praise for Shinichi Iwahashi made him a little difficult to answer.

"There are not many people with the surname Iwahashi, which is true." Shin Iwahashi is half modest.

Kikuchi Momoko asked him if he was in Tokyo now. After asking, she was embarrassed to find out about his affairs, and explained: "If it is convenient for you, I want to invite you to dinner... and I also want to tell you something."

Shinichi Iwahashi planned to find a place to have supper. After receiving the invitation, he simply agreed. Momoko Kikuchi agreed to him and went to the restaurant run by her aunt.

Before hanging up the phone, Kikuchi Taozi was worried that Shinichi Iwahashi would not find the location, so she asked him if he needed a map. Now, the two were sitting face to face. Taozi Kikuchi and Shinichi Iwahashi were joking, "I underestimated your memory just now."

Shinichi Iwahashi answered her seriously, "This store is not difficult to find."

After receiving such a response, Kikuchi Taozi smiled and stopped talking.

Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Kikichi Sang was on the phone just now and said something was wrong."

Kikuchi Taozi picked up the menu and handed it to Shinichi Iwahashi, but said, "The special dishes just came out in the store."

Shinichi Iwahashi took the menu, but did not open it, put it on hand, and accepted her recommendation, "Then try the special dishes in the store."

The recommendation was successful. Kikuchi Taozi looked quite satisfied and discussed with him, "Do you want something to drink from Iwahashi Sang?"

"Don't drink anything." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I still have work tonight. Go to the recording studio."

Peach Kikuchi nodded gently to express his understanding.

The waiter brought water over, and she stood up from her seat, "I missed a little, Iwahashi Sang."

...

After a while, Kikuchi Taozi came back.

She talked to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I originally wanted to watch the show starring Shizuka-chan, because it sounds very interesting. Unexpectedly, Iwahashi's name will be seen on the list of cast members at the end of the show."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while. She blinked, "I thought Iwahashi Sang would ask me for watching and experience."

Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "Kikichi Sang will definitely say good things."

Kikuchi Momoko was amused, "Even so, it's because there are good things worth saying..." She realized that such communication was obviously too polite, so she changed her words and said that in this summer, she will star in NTV's TV series.

"It's ten o'clock on Wednesday night." Kikuchi Momoko told him that she was playing "Second Player".

The so-called role second only to the starring actor. Given that Japanese TV series are centered on the starring actors, regardless of whether the ratings are good or bad, the leading actors are responsible for the blame, this second-hand actor, second only to the starring actors, is popular and has no lack of exposure, and there is no need to bear responsibility if they lose.

For Kikuchi Taozi, who has just changed his office for half a year and has transformed from an idol to an actress, it is a good job. Of course, Kenyin is also working hard behind him. After moving to Kenyin last year, except for acting training and the period when he needed to do some work when he first moved to the family, Kikuchi Taozi has never been idle, and she has TV series every season.

After the second performance in the summer season, if nothing unexpected happens, Yanyin will be able to win the TV series for her in the winter season.

When signing Kikuchi Taozi, Kenyin thought about pushing her to the position of a well-known actress, and she would help bring newcomers every season. For this reason, she was to cultivate her as the main actor of the firm.

"The theme song of the TV series is set as if Akane Sang came to sing it." Kikuchi Taozi told him.

Shinichi Iwahashi said "Oh", and he could guess in his heart that Kenyin must have sponsored the TV series. When he got distracted, he heard Kikuchi Momoko say, "Akinasan is a senior at the colleague's office."

She said a little jokey in her tone, "Akina Sang doesn't seem to have much interest in participating in TV shows, and I'm not allowed to sing again."

Such a wonderful pair of colleagues "partners".

"Iwahashi Sang is a music producer and a variety show producer," said Kikuchi Momoko, who said, "Since I no longer sing, I don't have the chance to invite Iwahashi Sang to make music."

She blinked a little naughtyly, "However, you are welcome to invite me in a variety show produced by Iwahashi Sang."

"Are you a prank show?" Shinichi Iwahashi remembered the topic just now.

Peach Kikuchi nodded, "For example." She was confident in participating in the show with her prank ideas. "The prank part is, 'If the chef in the restaurant is Peach Kikuchi..."

Speaking of this, she closed her mouth, her charming double eyelids could speak, and she blinked.

Shinichi Iwahashi came back to his senses, looked at the plate in front of him, and then fell on her face, "Did you prepare it?"

Kikuchi Taozi kept laughing and nodded, "How is it?"

"If you want to play tricks, you are playing around with me." Shinichi Iwahashi recalled the "special dish" after entering the door, and then during this period, Momoko Kikuchi got up and left the table, and began to find it funny.

Judging from this, it is probably one of the pranks that call "what needs to be said" at the beginning.

The producer who planned the prank show was slandered by someone else. Shinichi Iwahashi had a wonderful feeling of retribution.

Just treat it as a teasing others' reward.

Kikuchi Taozi asked him, "Is the taste of the food still suitable for your appetite?"

"I can tell if I think about it." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "It was actually Kikuchi Sang, not made by the chef in the store."

I like cooking, it seems to be really good.

"After all, I'm the one who can make even Kaiseki cuisine."

When the old story was brought up again, Kikuchi Momoko chuckled and told him, "The last time I made the kaiseki dish, I invited my friends Ogino Me Yoko and Moriguchi Hiroko."

"Although they are new to making the first time, Yokosan and Bokosan are both gentle and give good reviews."

Kikuchi Taozi narrowed her eyes slightly, "I'm a little confident in my cooking skills, so I'm shameless and want to try teasing Iwahashi Sang."

"Anyway, thank you for the hospitality."

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "The level of cooking skills is not to be said."

Kikuchi Momoko showed a embarrassed expression, "You just don't mind if I do this."

"If it's a strange meal, it's a different matter," Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "but the food that comes with this level is served, and there's no reason to blame it no matter how you think about it."

Shinichi Iwahashi put aside the teased incident, "Kikichi Sang is worried."

but……

Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Is there anything I have to say before? Is there something to tease people?"

Peach Kikuchi nodded and shook his head again.

After a while, he replied: "I also want to tell Sang Iwahashi about being in a TV series. Because it was his first time as a second player, I was actually a little nervous and worried that it would drag him down."

"This can be relaxed even if you want to." Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged her, "What has not happened yet, and it doesn't make sense to think about anything."

"Of course," he changed his mind, "even if things come to an end, they can only do things well."

Kenyin wants to promote Kikuchi Taozi as the firm's signature actress, and he will naturally look forward to gaining a lot of money if he has a lot of resources.

Once he moved his family, he felt the feeling of becoming the top main force of the firm, and Kikuchi Taozi was also a little nervous.

However, it is not the kind of person who can't stand the pressure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to part ways with the original firm, give up singing, and completely transform into an actor.

Telling Shinichi Iwahashi was not to get encouragement and comfort from him. It would be better to say that he wanted to hear such encouragement from the mouth of this man who had extended a helping hand to her.

After the plate was removed, Kikuchi Taozi said embarrassed to Shinichi Iwahashi again, "I first made a prank, and then I complained to you..."

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't care about it, "but thanked Kikuchi Sang for the entertainment, Mimi had a meal."

"That's what I said."

Kikuchi Taozi raised her eyelids and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "To apologize to you, I will treat you to a meal again next time, is it okay?"

Shinichi Iwahashi felt exaggerated, "It's not a matter of apology..."

He said that, and there was a hint of rejection on Kikuchi Momo's face. Shinichi Iwahashi stopped talking, "If you have an ordinary meal, it would be no problem."

The face of Kikuchi Taozi was cleared up again. Just as she was about to say something, Shinichi Iwahashi continued, "Just treat it as a thank you for Kikuchi Sang's personal cooking service this time, let me ask you back."

He settled the accounts clearly, as if he wanted to push people away.

The enthusiasm in Kikuchi Taozi's heart became a little colder and nodded, "If Iwahashi Sang please reply..." She showed an innocent smile, "Let's just ask for it."

This expression seemed to be left to Shinichi Iwahashi to decide, not the time for the next meal, but something else important. However, if Shinichi Iwahashi to be responsible for the time and place, Shinichi Iwahashi to take the initiative to contact her.

...

But on the other hand, whoever is responsible for determining the time and place will take the initiative, decide when to contact and how to contact.

Shinichi Iwahashi made an appointment with a recording at 7 o'clock. He didn't expect that he was invited by Kikuchi Taozi for dinner, so he even asked her to "prank" this.

As time goes by, it will get late.

He agreed to invite her to dinner next time, Shinichi Iwahashi set off and left. When he went out, he probably would have encountered traffic rush when he went to the recording studio and he didn't even drive the car.

I took a taxi when I went to Aoyama to make an appointment, and now I have another luxury car worth billions of yen

Although it was not blocked on the road forever, it was also squeezed into a sardine with a good appearance in the carriage.

Even though he was ready to drive, he was still dragged down by this sudden dinner. When he left the station and walked to the recording studio, it was already fifteen or sixteen minutes after seven o'clock.

When Shinichi Iwahashi arrived, Akina Nakamori was already waiting there.
