Tokyo: My Girlfriend

Halfway through the afternoon, the two finally arrived at the large and reputable entertainment company.

When they saw the building with the Japanese words "New Star Entertainment" hanging on it, Shinichi Kitagawa and Akemi Aoki couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Following the staff's instructions, Shinichi Kitagawa entered the hall and, like other singers with companions, queued in the waiting area.

He bought two bottles of water and handed one to Akemi Aoki: "Relax."

Akemi Aoki smiled and thanked her.

She took a very elegant sip with her lips.

Kitagawa Shinichi was stunned. Why did they even drink water the same way?

I've never observed how Mei drank water before. Could it be that it's always been the same?

The interview went incredibly smoothly, just as I'd imagined, and I was already pre-selected for the position.

The staff led the two to the manager's office.

Shinichi Kitagawa finally met the artist management director whom the editor had introduced him to earlier.

The other person was a man in his early forties, dressed in a sharp suit, with bright eyes and a neat hairstyle—a typical elite look.

After briefly scrutinizing Aoki Akemi, the other person respectfully shook hands with Kitagawa Shinichi: "Mr. Sora? Is that you?! The famous author with 800,000 followers?!"

Sora is the pen name of Shinichi Kitagawa.

It's the same name as my online name. Since most famous novelists in Japan make public appearances, there are events like press conferences.

Only Shinichi Kitagawa never shows his face in public, so among all the well-known authors, Shinichi Kitagawa actually has quite a few fans of the mystery genre because of this.

"It's me. You can call me Xinyi if you like."

After a brief exchange, Shinichi Kitagawa discovered that the artist management director was actually a loyal fan of his.

I initially thought he was joking, but he actually recited the names and general plots of his well-known works, totaling eight or nine books.

"I'll still call you Mr. Sora. Mr. Sora's novels are really great! Although most of them are short stories, I read every single one, especially 'The Girl Who Chases Music,' which I even recommended to many of my artists."

Even our general manager is a fan of yours, but unfortunately he couldn't see you today. That's why when the Honda editor recommended one of your singers to come here, I immediately agreed. I never imagined that Mr. Sora was training singers, and judging from your appearance, you're still a... student, right?

Kitagawa Shinichi nodded: "High school student, but he'll be in university next year."

"That's amazing! You have a bright future ahead of you. Please have a seat! Considering your situation, I've thought it over carefully. According to company regulations, I should assign Ms. Aoki a general coordinator, someone who is responsible for many singers, and the singers must follow her instructions completely."

However, since Mr. Sora mentioned on the phone that he wanted to specifically train Ms. Aoki, well, how about this! The company will make an exception! Ms. Aoki's supervisor will only be responsible for event notifications and simple planning, not other work. Furthermore, all arrangements for Ms. Aoki will be discussed with you first, giving you ample room to maneuver with her. What do you think?

Shinichi Kitagawa was surprised that the other party was so easy to talk to. Although the two had briefly discussed these matters on the phone before, he had thought that the other party would have a lot of demands.

After all, although Shinichi Kitagawa was somewhat famous, he wasn't really that familiar with him.

Just as Kitagawa Shinichi had expected, after a brief probe to see if the other party had any requests, the other party quickly smiled and said:

"As you said, there are some prerequisites for the application, but it's very simple! Since Mr. Sora thinks so highly of Ms. Aoki, there's a new singer's performance in Tokyo in half a month. The company is giving Ms. Aoki a chance to go on stage. The requirement is to sing an original song, a love song, but you have to sing it out loud and express it!"

If the response is positive, I will not only apply as I just mentioned, but the company will also do its best to promote Ms. Aoki in the future. By the way...did you say before that you were involved in the entire creation process of Ms. Aoki's songs? You're not kidding me, are you? I'm really looking forward to the songs written by Mr. Sora!

Kitagawa Shin nodded: "Don't worry, since I recommended Akemi, I certainly won't go back on my word. The song will definitely be my original composition."

"Then there's absolutely no problem!"

This conversation, which should have been a simple meeting between the singer and the manager, turned out to be a one-sided affair, with Aoki Akemi not getting a chance to speak at all; it was all Kitagawa Shinichi doing the talking.

However, Akemi Aoki felt immense pressure just listening to it. She sat there like a quail, propping herself up on her arms, biting her lip, and remaining motionless, marveling at how amazing Shinichi was!

Is this the famous author on the internet? He can talk to the leaders of big companies so effortlessly and even got a performance opportunity right away. My God... it's like he got the green light all the way!

What incredible luck I must have had to meet Shinichi-kun!

In particular, she wasn't unaware of what the manager meant. In his eyes, I must be Xin Yijun's kept mistress or girlfriend, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have used those kinds of terms.

What kind of operation, training, etc.

After the conversation, Shinichi Kitagawa shook hands with the other party to say goodbye, promising that the performance project in half a month would not disappoint them.

Since we couldn't go back to Kabasaki Town that night, Akemi and I went to a hotel and checked into a room to rest for the night.

Surprisingly, most hotels were full, and when I finally found one, there was only one room left.

"Is there only one left?"

In the hotel lobby, the receptionist said apologetically, "Well, it's just a standard room, so it's basically separate sleeping arrangements. See if that's acceptable to you two."

Kitagawa Shinichi wanted to say that they should forget about the standard room, since they were going to book a room with Akemi, not Rena.

However, Akemi Aoki said, "How about a standard room, Shinichi? It's too late to look for one now. I think it'll be crowded on the weekend. Anyway, both beds are the same."

"But.."

Akemi Aoki grinned and said, "Let's open it."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Kitagawa Shinichi didn't have much energy to look for a room anymore. The two of them entered their identities, took their room cards, and went upstairs together.

Swipe your card to open the door.

With a beep, the room lights turned on.

Two clean and tidy beds came into view, with a bedside table between them, on which were placed some adult products and a small penis.

Akemi Aoki covered her mouth with her fingers in surprise: "Wow! This is a hotel in Tokyo?! It's much better than the one in Kabasaki!"

Without asking any questions, Kitagawa Shinichi chuckled and explained, "Oh, Shinichi-kun, don't misunderstand. I've been to the rooms my girlfriends and their boyfriends stayed in before, but I felt the rooms weren't very clean, so I assumed all rooms were like that. It's definitely nothing like the ones in Tokyo!"

Akemi Aoki tossed her handbag onto the bed, picked up a condom from the bedside table, and exclaimed, her eyes gleaming, "Even the condoms are from a high-end brand! So luxurious! Super thin!"

Shinichi Kitagawa chuckled, changed his shoes and put on slippers to relax a bit: "I'm going to take a shower first, Akemi. After you shower, you should go to bed early too. You've had a long day, so get some rest."

Akemi Aoki nodded: "Okay! Shinichi-kun, go take a shower. I'll pack my things too."

Shinichi Kitagawa took the toiletries he had brought and went into the bathroom.

Akemi Aoki stared into the bathroom with her alluring fox-like eyes, listening to the sounds of clothes being undressed and water flowing from the showerhead.

She pursed her lips and joked to herself, "Just hearing her voice makes me want to eat several bowls of rice..."

During this time, Akemi Aoki also took off her high heels, removed her stockings, removed her makeup, and changed her clothes.

Actually, after learning Hina's makeup style, she doesn't wear much makeup now, just a little lipstick and a very light foundation. When she first did her makeup, she exclaimed that Hina-sensei was naturally beautiful.

Fortunately, my foundation wasn't bad either, so I could barely keep up.

She sat on the edge of the bed wearing a thin fox-embellished hooded nightgown. The skirt of the nightgown only covered her upper thighs, and her two fair and slender legs were laid out on the bed, her toes slightly curled.

Pick up a pen and a notebook:

"If I see Hina-sensei at school next week, I'll ask her what shampoo and body wash she uses. I don't think she has any particular scent, but I'm sure I can tell... There's no need to change my makeup anymore; if it's too similar, it'll just be annoying..."

The scenes of Kitagawa Shinichi talking to the management manager during the day involuntarily flashed before her eyes.

Akemi Aoki, with a carbon pen between her teeth and her hands cupping her face while holding her notebook, swooned: "Shinichi-kun is so handsome when we're talking about work! Who wouldn't like Shinichi-kun, who's both handsome and capable?"

A dozen minutes later, Shinichi Kitagawa finished washing up and came out, and Akemi Aoki went in next.

However, when Kitagawa Shinichi saw her somewhat sexy nightgown, he paused for a moment: "Akami...do you usually wear this at home?"

Akemi Aoki opened the bathroom door: "No, this is a new set of pajamas I bought specifically for my job interview. I thought this fox-patterned pajama was cute, so I bought it." She made a peace sign with both hands: "Isn't it sexy and cute!"

His male genes made it impossible for him to completely avoid looking at the other person's groin, no matter how much he tried to restrain himself. However, it was only for a glance before Shinichi Kitagawa looked away.

"It's cute, but it's a bit too short."

How could Aoki Akemi not know it was too short? She deliberately bought it that short.

However, she wouldn't say that outright. Instead, she feigned embarrassment and tugged at her pajamas, saying, "Really? Maybe a little... I didn't pay much attention when I bought it. I'm going to take a shower."

"Hmm... go ahead..." Kitagawa Shinichi didn't mind. The night would pass quickly, and there wouldn't be another time when they would coincidentally sleep in the same room.

Leaning against the headboard, Shinichi Kitagawa also took out paper and pen. If he wanted Akemi's future path to fame to go smoothly, the first impression she made on the audience in half a month was essential. A good performance would make things twice as easy.

Since the goal is to create love songs that can express emotions...

Shinichi Kitagawa made his selections in the system store until he saw a song called "Screaming at the Ends of His Head".

Let's go with this one.

My royalties just arrived this month, so I bought it from the store.

Purchase successful. Shinichi Kitagawa wrote the lyrics in his notebook.

About half an hour later, when Akemi Aoki finished showering and opened the bathroom door, she happened to see Shinichi Kitagawa asleep, leaning against the headboard.

Her eyebrows trembled slightly as she quietly closed the door and walked over.
