I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

"Of course I know how to use this word..." Saito Hiko said to Hoshino Ai. When he saw her close her eyes, he stopped talking and took out his mobile phone to check the recent news in Kanagawa.

He just switched to the local news in Kanagawa and saw a message on it, "There was a homeless person near the train yesterday. Residents, please..."

After seeing this information, Saito Hiko recalled the scene after coming here today. He didn't see any homeless people, so they must have left, right?

Other news were just some local miscellaneous matters. He just casually glanced at the title and could tell the content of the article from the title.

He randomly used his phone to kill time, and when the battery was only half left, he put it away and stopped using it.

At this time, he hadn't seen Hoshino Ai wake up yet. He looked around boredly and saw no one coming over, so he looked at Hoshino Ai's sleeping face.

"She is indeed very beautiful, but still a little immature."

Saito Hiko sighed in his heart, and just as he finished sighing, he saw Hoshino Ai's eyelashes trembling and her eyelids slowly closing - she was about to wake up.

After waking up, Hoshino Ai supported herself on the ground and sat up, squinting her eyes as she looked at Saito Hiko in front of her.

"Are you awake?" Saitohiko picked up a bottle of pure water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Hoshino Ai, then took out his cell phone to check the time, which showed: 15:18.

It's still early for the show.

But we should also go over to the stage and take a look.

"Hmm... um..." Hoshino Ai responded in a daze. She saw the water handed to her by Saito Hiko, so she reached out to take it, holding the bottle and took a sip of the water.

After drinking the water, she stared at Saito Hiko in silence.

"Pack up, let's gather at the stage. The others will be here soon." Saito Hiko put his hand in front of Hoshino Ai and shook it, trying to wake her up from her dementia.

"Um...oh..." Hoshino Ai agreed to Saito Hiko verbally, but she still stared at the ground in a daze.

Seeing her like this, Saitohiko had no choice but to pull her up and push her outside the tablecloth. He folded the cloth and put it back into his backpack.

Seeing her confused look, Saito Hiko found two masks from his backpack and put them on her and himself manually.

Then he took her hand and walked to the preparation room behind the Kasuga Festival stage.

Chapter 149 Spring Festival (Part )

Saito Hiko walked with Hoshino Ai for a while. After she woke up and saw that more and more people were around her, she took the initiative to break free from Saito Hiko's hand.

"Where are we going?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko.

"Preparation room, the show starts at 6:30, and everyone else is almost here." Saito Hiko noticed Hoshino Ai's resistance, and he also knew that it would not be good for outsiders to see them holding hands. Even if they were wearing masks, they might be photographed accidentally.

That's not okay.

He naturally let go of Hoshino Ai's hand and said, "Although the show starts at 6:30, you still have to wait. It's not urgent."

"Hmm..." Hoshino Ai responded.

She took this performance very seriously, so she felt nervous unconsciously, her body became tense, and her steps stopped.

Even though she knew that being nervous was not a good look, she still felt uneasy and worried.

Afraid of screwing up the show.

Saito Hiko took two steps forward and found that Hoshino Ai was still standing there. He guessed that she might be daydreaming because she was about to go on stage.

"Let's go." Saito Hiko had no choice but to hold Hoshino Ai's hand again and pull her to walk. When pulling her to the preparation room, he encouraged her: "Don't scare yourself. The performance is just changing into stage clothes and then performing on the stage. The performance process is actually no different from your rehearsal. Believe in yourself..."

This time, Hoshino Ai did not break free from Saito Hiko's hand. She quietly let him hold her hand and listened to his words to distract herself from the tension in her heart.

When Saito Hiko was about to walk to the preparation room with Hoshino Ai, he took the initiative to let go of her hand.

You can't just lead her in like this, otherwise something bad will happen.

Saitohiko noticed that Hoshino Ai's nervousness did not ease much after stopping along the way, so he gave her a simple method: "If you still feel nervous, write the word "人" on your hand and swallow it until you feel less nervous."

As he spoke, he demonstrated. He made the shape of a human on his left hand with his right hand. He then put his palm to his mouth as if he was putting his left hand into his mouth and made a swallowing motion. He then wrote again and picked up his palm to swallow.

"Like this." He said, repeating the action.

When Hoshino Ai saw Saito Hiko demonstrating, she followed him and did the same movements.

After trying it a few times, I didn't feel so nervous anymore.

After realizing this, she stopped.

"How is it?" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai when he saw her stop.

"I'm not so nervous anymore, thank you..." Hoshino Ai bowed slightly to Saito Hiko to express her gratitude.

"Now that you've adjusted your mindset, let's go in." Saito Hiko said, and walked into the preparation room. As soon as he entered the preparation room, he saw nineteen people in the room.

They are probably performers or staff members participating in the show.

Saito Hiko didn't speak directly, but waited until Hoshino Ai walked in before he took the initiative to say to the others in the room: "Hello, I'm one of the leaders of Berry Pro, she's B Komachi, please take care of her."

When the other people in the room saw that it was children who came in, they didn't pay much attention. They just glanced at them and then shifted their gaze.

"Are there any children participating in today's performance?" A young man in his twenties with a row of earrings on his ears said to his companion beside him.

Although the young man was speaking to his companions, his voice could be heard by everyone in the room.

"What's your name?" Saito Hiko was not angry, but asked the young man with a smile.

"Humph! Are you asking me?" The young man felt as if Saito Hiko was asking him, and said with a proud look on his face: "Remember, I am He Yuan."

"Okay, I've got that." Looking at his arrogant look, Saito Hiko felt that he needed to teach him a lesson. He looked around the room and didn't see Arakawa, so he took out his cell phone and called Arakawa.

"What are you doing!" He Yuan felt inexplicably flustered when he saw Saito Hiko take out his cell phone to make a call, but the kid in front of him couldn't possibly ask someone to hit him, right?

Feeling the possibility of being beaten, he suddenly panicked.

I have to perform today. If he calls someone to argue with me or beat me up, then today's performance will probably be ruined. I can't let it ruin...

He hurriedly bowed 90 degrees to Saito Yan and begged for mercy: "Brother... Master... I was wrong... Don't call anyone... I still have to participate in the performance today, this is very important to me..."

"Tsk, so boring. Why don't you stand up stronger?" Saito Hiko was originally very angry and wanted Arakawa to teach him a lesson, but the guy in front of him immediately became cowardly when he saw him take out his cell phone.

Hoshino Ai tugged at Saito Hiko's clothes and whispered, "Hiroshi, forget it. It's better to have less trouble than more. We are just here to participate in the performance. Don't make any trouble..."

"Then I'll listen to you, but I still have to teach him a lesson." Saito Hiko replied and prepared to edit a text message to send to Arakawa.

"Uncle...don't, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time..." When He Yuan heard what Saito Yan said, he felt that Saito Yan had a backer, and begged for mercy from Saito Yan even more humbly.

"If you hand over half of the remuneration for this performance as a lesson, I will let you go." Saito Hiko hung up the phone that was calling Arakawa.

"Give...I'll give it!" Seeing that Saito Hiko was so greedy, He Yuan not only did not question him, but instead felt that he was qualified to be the arrogant second generation. He gritted his teeth and agreed to Saito Hiko's conditions.

"I'm just a member of Mei Pro, but I don't know the person in charge of the organizer. Why are you so panicked?" Saito Hiko really couldn't understand why he was so cowardly, even though he was so brave just now.

I really can’t figure it out.

"Please stop mocking me..." He Yuan felt more heartbroken the more he listened. Why was he so stupid just now? He simply took out his wallet, took out half of the performance fee, and respectfully handed the money to Saito Hiko with both hands.

Saito Yan didn't reach out to take the money, but said loudly: "You are giving me money like this, are you trying to accuse me of blackmail?"

He Yuan wanted to beat Saito Yan when he heard what he said, but his reason controlled him. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I, He Yuan, will voluntarily give this money to..."

As he spoke, he did not know Saitohiko's name, so he changed his words and said, "I gave the money to him voluntarily, and you can all testify to this."

"In that case, I will accept it with reluctance." Saito Yan took out his cell phone and turned on the video to He Yuan: "Please say it again, so that you won't slander me later."

Too much! Too much! Too much!

When He Yuan saw Saito Hiko like this, he felt that Saito Hiko was deliberately humiliating him. Not only did he ask him to pay money, but he also wanted to record such a humble scene of him.

He was driven and wanted to fight Saito Hikoda regardless of the consequences, but he thought that if he really did that, the opportunity to participate in the performance, which he had obtained thanks to his good friend, would be ruined because of Saito Hikoda.

It's all impulse that caused the trouble...

He had to hold back his anger and repeated what he had just said.

After recording this conversation, Saito Hiko did not put away his phone, but handed it to Hoshino Ai and asked her to continue filming.

He simply looked down upon the compensation paid by He Yuan. The performance fee from He Yuan was less than one percent of his wealth.

"Anyone who sees it gets a share!" Saito Hiko directly threw the money that He Yuan handed to him and shouted to everyone present.

Chapter 150 Spring Festival (End)

Saitohiko threw the banknotes into the air after he finished speaking, but he did not see the scene he wanted to see.

When the other people in the preparation room saw Saito Hiko throw the coin up, they all stood there and looked at Saito Hiko.

It's not that they were really indifferent to the situation, it's just that everyone present knew each other and would not give up their dignity for a few dollars.

After all, they are people of status and they would not lose their composure for such a small amount of money.

As for He Yuan, he wanted to pick it up, but he didn't dare to, and could only watch the coins fall to the ground.

What a shame…

Saito Hiko felt it was a pity that he didn't see the scene where other people came to grab the money.

Maybe the amount is not enough to impress them.

He didn't see anyone coming to pick up the money, so he went into a corner of the house and waited for others to arrive.

Hoshino Ai didn't know what Saito Hiko wanted to do, but given the strange atmosphere at the scene, she had no choice but to follow him.

After a while, Kyoko and other members of B Komachi came over, accompanied by a female employee.

"Today's stage actually has a big screen!" Ninomiya Suzune, who had just come to the preparation room after watching the stage, walked up to Hoshino Ai and said to her, "Speaking of the big screen, I've also seen it at a concert, um...a concert with a lot of people."

"Yeah, there are a lot of people here today." Hoshino Ai responded, "So it's not that strange, right?"

"Eh? There are indeed a lot of people...but this is different."

Arisa felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Hoshino Ai said, but when she thought about it carefully, it was completely wrong!

"Yeah, it's different. Before this, I've never heard of anyone decorating a festival like a concert." Futami Ami complained.

When she came over, she saw that there were a lot of seats on the stage.

Although she didn't go over to check the details just now, she was sharp-eyed and saw that there was a bag of small props on each seat.

When Hoshino Ai heard what Futami Ami said, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Saito Hiko.

When he brought her here just now, he went straight into the preparation room from behind the stage and did not see the on-site layout.

This arrangement was definitely made by him.
