Chapter 153 Strange
When the street lights in the residential area came on again, it was already night time.

After dinner, as usual, Watanabe Yu, Hamabe Ryoko, and Amemiya Ayana sat on the sofa in the living room and watched the prime-time TV series together.

In fact, Watanabe Yu is not very interested in TV dramas, but there is a good saying: when watching TV, the main thing is the atmosphere, and the more people there are, the thicker the atmosphere.

Even if you are watching a program that you don’t usually like to watch, as long as there are more people around, even the dullest program will become interesting.

For example, recently, they have been following a youth romance drama.

The content of this drama is very simple. It tells the story between young people, or to be more precise, the story between childhood sweethearts who have just entered the first year of high school.

The quarrels among young people, the ignorance among young people, and the slow growth among young people.

The screenwriter of this pure love drama is very good. Up to the sixth episode, the viewing experience is very good, the plot is well designed, the characters are fresh enough, there are no annoying preaching segments, but instead there is enough blank space, leaving many discussion points quietly to the audience.

Anyway, based on Watanabe Yu's intuitive feeling, he thinks this TV series is quite good.

"By the way, what do you plan to do with that invitation letter, You?"

Taking advantage of the relatively slow period in the TV series' plot, Hamabe Ryoko took the initiative to start the topic.

Before dinner today, Yu's editor, Ms. Akiie Kuriyama, came specially and presented an exquisitely crafted invitation.

"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet."

Looking at the male and female protagonists lying on the bed on the TV screen, Watanabe Yu expressed his thoughts truthfully.

"A question."

Hamabe Ryoko raised her hand.

"Just say it."

"Can this banquet help you in your career?"

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head and looked at Watanabe Yuu.

She has always been a very pragmatic person.

If it wouldn't be of much help, she would advise him not to go.

She remembered clearly that the last time he attended a social gathering like that, he came back visibly exhausted.

Unfortunately, she couldn't help much and could only massage his shoulders.

"According to Editor Kuriyama, this banquet, like the last award ceremony, was very helpful." Watanabe Yu paused and added, "President Beichen also sent a message saying the same thing."

Ichiro Kitano's original words were that if the last Naoki Prize ceremony brought him into the public eye, then this dinner allowed him to truly enter that circle.

If you don't seize the opportunity when you have it, wouldn't that be a waste?
"…Why do I feel like you already have the answer, Yuu?"

Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a moment, but finally said this.

Living under the same roof for this period of time has made her understand him exponentially more.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

He actually had an idea in his mind a long time ago.

But how should I put it? He didn't want to jump to conclusions so quickly, as it would put some psychological pressure on him.

"Anyway, they can't possibly cheat you." Hamabe Ryoko considered her words, "You're on the same side now, and Yu's career is on the rise. Everything is visibly getting better, just like the 'honeymoon period' (Chinese), isn't it?"

"That's true, but I think the word 'honeymoon period' is a bit inappropriate here."

Yu Watanabe corrected Hamabe Ryoko's statement.

Anyway, he felt that the use of this word here was visibly strange.

"Well, don't use that word then."

Hamabe Ryoko withdrew her gaze and continued watching TV.

On the screen, the story between the male and female protagonists has progressed to the point where they talk about their dreams.

It should be approaching the climax of yesterday’s trailer - the heroine’s active confession.

However, judging from the impression given by the heroine at present, she should speak very subtly.

"Then...what are you going to do about Yuki-chan?"

She changed the subject.

During lunch, Watanabe Yu received a call from Hayakawa Yuki.

Although he didn't turn on the speakerphone, he didn't leave his seat and answered the call right there. She could hear some fragmented content through the microphone.

"I still intend to stick to the original plan. Wasn't the original recording time early August? There's not much difference between going a few days earlier and following the current plan." He said on the phone, 'I'll think about it,' but in fact, he had already thought about it.

Anyway, we can take some time to record the songs.

"That's it..."

Hamabe Ryoko stole a glance at Amamiya Ayana.

She always felt that there was something strange about the Saint Lady tonight.

In the past, the Saint Miss would not necessarily participate in the topic, but at least she would give some support or opinions. But today, the Saint Miss seemed particularly silent.

Whether it was the topic of the invitation letter just now or the current topic of Hayakawa Yuki, she did not say a word from beginning to end, and her eyes were fixed firmly on the TV.

"What do you think Ayana?"

Hamabe Ryoko thought about it and decided to turn the topic to the Saint Lady.

She has an indescribable feeling
——Ayana Amamiya seems to be worried.

"Ah? ...I think so? Are you talking about Yuki? Or about the invitation letter?"

Amemiya Ayana was stunned for a moment and pointed at herself in surprise.

"Both." Hamabe Ryoko took on the responsibility of taking over the topic. "My analysis just now was quite superficial. You still have to analyze it first."

In fact, according to the habits of the three of them getting along, on topics like the invitation letter, the person who gave suggestions from the simple to the complex was always Amamiya Ayana, not her.

To be honest, she is not very good at the exchange of interests in such social occasions.

Although she had made up for it during this period, she was still far behind Yu and Ayana.

"Ryoko, you are too modest. What you said is very good, and it is what I wanted to say. I actually have the same idea as you. We both respect Yu's own decision, don't we?"

Amamiya Ayana blinked.

In fact, if possible, she personally doesn't want You to go.

But she couldn't say it that way.

She was afraid that he would see her in such an ugly passive state, and she was even more afraid that he would get carried away and provoke someone he shouldn't provoke, such as Amamiya Masao.

After all, the slap that Mr. Troll gave to Teppei Amamiya was between juniors.

The unspoken rules in the circle are there, and everyone knows them.

To put it bluntly, even if you young people make a big fuss, as long as it's not too outrageous, the elders will not intervene themselves. But if Watanabe Yu takes the initiative to provoke them, that would be another matter.

"Your answer is too official!"

Hamabe Ryoko muttered something, then hugged Amamiya Ayana's arm and tickled her mischievously.

"What about Yuki?"

She wanted to know the Saint Lady's attitude towards Yuki Hayakawa's proactive attack.

"He's already made the decision, what else can I say?" Amamiya Ayana looked at Hamabe Ryoko with a smile on her face, "Ryoko, why are you becoming more and more childish? Hahaha, stop scratching, it's itchy!"

God knows who Hamabe Ryoko learned this from, her tickling technique is simply amazing.

"Hey, you know you're wrong, right?"

Hamabe Ryoko said this, but her hands stopped moving.

She paused, then smiled and teased, "You look more friendly now. I was thinking just now, if this can't make you laugh, then you will really become the stereotypical image of a saint, cold and indifferent."

The Amamiya Ayana just now gave her an indescribable feeling.

It was as if there was an inexplicable barrier between them.

She could probably tell that Ayana must have encountered some difficult problem, which was why she looked like this.

But she didn't know what the Saint Lady had encountered. Or, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to help solve the problem.

But there are things she can do.

At least at this moment, she could make Ayana laugh sincerely without having to think about anything.

“…I’ll smile more.”

Amamiya Ayana paused for a moment and said the second half of the sentence very sincerely.

"Also, thank you."
