I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

As soon as Saito Hiko bought the ticket, he saw people coming out of the performance hall.

"By the way, aren't we here just for inspection? How come we ended up buying tickets to listen to music and watch other people's performances?" Hoshino Ai saw the people coming out of the show and recalled the purpose of this trip.

"Because you can't get in without a ticket." Saito Hiko distorted the facts.

"It seems to be the case..." Hoshino Ai saw a checkpoint inside that required a ticket check to pass.

The crowd pouring out after the performance quickly passed by Saito Hiko and Hoshino Ai.

Seeing that many people were still coming out, Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai's hand and walked to the side to stand against the wall to avoid being rushed out by the crowd.

“The live performance was really great!”

"Really? It's a pity that it only lasted for a little over an hour this time."

“It’s hard not to agree that it would be nice if the show was longer.”

"Even if the show is longer, the lead singer won't be able to sing for that long."

.......

Saito Hiko heard comments from people passing by about the performance, and they all seemed very satisfied.

From their conversation, it seems that the artists performing here have good singing skills.

It seems that the performer just now was just a singer, not a group performance.

Saito Hiko heard the discussion of passers-by and reflexively reasoned about what they said.

"As expected, the artists who hold concerts in such a great place seem to be very talented." Hoshino Ai also heard the discussion of passers-by and expressed her feelings.

"I think it's different." Saito Hiko refuted Hoshino Ai's point of view: "If the contestant who just performed on stage is really talented, he should have performed in a bigger performance venue instead of performing in this indoor hall with more than 2,000 people."

"And most of the people who come here and pay to listen to songs are die-hard fans. As die-hard fans, as long as their geigei sings not completely out of tune, they will strongly support their favorite stars/idols. Some die-hard fans will even think that their geigei is not wrong even if their geigei breaks the law and goes to jail. The one who is wrong is..."

"Are you trying to gain confidence by belittling others?" After listening to Saito Hiko's argument, Hoshino Ai felt that he was using twisted logic.

"I'm telling the truth." Saito Hiko looked at Hoshino Ai seriously.

"Now that the performance hall is empty, let's go in and check it out." Hoshino Ai stopped asking questions and instead pulled Saito Hiko to pass the ticket inspection.

"We won't have time to buy anything after the show starts, so what would you like to drink?" Saito Hiko held on hard to prevent Hoshino Ai from pulling him into the performance hall.

"Then I want strawberry milk." This time, Hoshino Ai accepted Saito Hiko's treat with peace of mind.

Because a can of drink won't be too expensive.

Just go back next time.

"Let me see..." Saitohiko walked to the vending machine and inspected the drinks inside. He didn't find the strawberry milk drink. "We don't have what you want. This flavor is too popular and is out of stock."

After hearing what Saito Hiko said, Hoshino Ai was silent for a second and then said:

"Just buy me some sweet drinks."

"Whatever..."

When Saito Hiko heard this word, he couldn't help but recall what he had read before:

A man and a woman went out to eat together. The man asked the woman what she wanted to eat. The woman replied "anything". As a result, the man really ordered something casually.

After ordering the food, the woman started to scold the man and then put all the blame on him...

So Saito Hiko felt a little awkward when he heard the word "casually".

He thought about what was in Hoshino Ai's lunch box at school this month, and he immediately came up with the answer.

“We eat…”

Saito Hiko had just said three words when he suddenly realized that he was just asking Hoshino Ai what kind of drink she wanted.

"My memory misleads me!"

Chapter 68 Relax

Hoshino Ai was puzzled when she heard the voice and looked at Saito Hiko, waiting for his follow-up words.

But after waiting for a few seconds and seeing that he didn't make any move, she repeated, "Shall we eat?"

"Nothing, you heard it wrong." Saito Hiko felt embarrassed when Hoshino Ai heard it, and replied perfunctorily, "I didn't say anything just now. You heard me talking, it must be an illusion."

I didn't say I heard it from Yanjun just now, why did he think I heard it wrong? And not what I want to eat?

After receiving Saito Hiko's reply, Hoshino Ai noticed the loophole in his words and tried to lie, "Huh? Why do you think I heard it wrong? Instead of me wanting to go buy something to eat? There is still half an hour before the show starts, which is more than enough time to buy some snacks."

"So it's you who want to go eat. Since it's still early, let's go buy something to eat."

When Saito Hiko heard what Hoshino Ai said, he deliberately did not mention himself, but followed what Hoshino Ai said, diverted attention, and led her out.

"Huh? I didn't say you were leaving now?"

Ai Hoshino was carried away by Saito Hiko's rhythm. She hesitated and asked, "We can't bring food into the concert hall, right?"

"Generally you can't bring it." Saito Hiko said after recalling it.

"Since we can't take it with us, then let's not go shopping. Otherwise, by the time we finish buying the things, the performance might have already started." Hoshino Ai pulled Saito Hiko hard, not letting him take her away.

"Since you said so, forget it. Let's go out and buy some snacks for a midnight snack after the performance." Saito Hiko was pleased to see that Hoshino Ai's attention had indeed shifted to this issue.

It's too easy to just treat her perfunctorily...

No, you can't think like that. This is just setting a flag.

Saito Hiko shook his head to stop his wandering thoughts.

At this time, not many people came out of the performance hall, and it was estimated that everyone had left.

"Since you're not leaving, let's go in..." Saito Yan said, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought any drinks yet.

I walked to the vending machine, looked at the drinks inside for a while, and decided to choose the carton of black tea and orange juice.

The reason he chose the carton was because he had heard that bottled and canned drinks could not be brought in.

"Do you want black tea or orange juice?" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai cautiously.

"Then I'll choose orange juice." Hoshino Ai replied without thinking too much.

After receiving the reply, Saitohiko took out coins of the corresponding amount from his wallet and put them into the vending machine.

Boom!Boom!

Two boxes of drinks fell one after another.

"Here you go." Saito Yan handed the orange juice to Hoshino Ai, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Hoshino Ai responded obediently.

The two passed ticket inspection and security check and walked into the performance hall.

As soon as Saito Hiko entered, he saw that the performance hall had a three-story structure on both sides, and the parts protruding from the upper floors on both sides looked a bit like shoes.

As for the seats, there is a row of chairs every two steps, with one step for a chair and one step for people to pass through.

The wall at the stage seemed to have some raised sections, and there seemed to be seats upstairs where people could sit and enjoy the show.

The whole layout looks like a shoe box.

Saito Hiko took the ticket and looked for the place that belonged to him and Hoshino Ai.

He quickly found a seat, brought Hoshino Ai to the seat and asked, "What do you think of this performance venue?"

"It's too big..." Hoshino Ai replied carefully.

She felt a little scared when she thought about performing in this performance hall in front of so many audiences.

"I don't think it's very big." Although Saito Hiko also felt that the performance hall was spacious and slightly large, he couldn't agree with Hoshino Ai.

Otherwise the venue will have to be downgraded.

Anyway, it’s not him who’s going to perform on the stage, so it would be better if the stage is bigger.

"And the bigger the stage, the better it will be for your future development as an idol," Saito Hiko said calmly.

Hoshino Ai kept looking at the layout of the concert hall. The more she looked, the more she felt that it would be too stressful for her first performance here.

It would be fine if we were just watching from the same floor, but there are seats upstairs that overlook the stage.

This feels bad.

"Absolutely not here!" Hoshino Ai refused in a firm attitude.

"Since you don't want to perform on stage here, then just enjoy the performance first. It will take some time for you to practice the music and dance anyway." Saito Hiko leaned back in his chair and relaxed.

After all, his original plan was definitely not to find a suitable place in one go.

At least you need to survey it a few more times.

Even if Hoshino Ai was satisfied, he would find an excuse to 'compare' the choices and ask her to go shopping with him a few more times.

"Enjoy it..." Hoshino Ai murmured softly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Then let's find a smaller venue next time."

"Well, I'll try my best." Saito Yan turned to look at Hoshino Ai, "Relax a little, don't be so tense, the purpose of watching a show is to relax."

He saw Hoshino Ai looking around as if she was remembering something, so he tried to persuade her.

"Well, but if you go on an inspection, you have to spend money to buy tickets every time. The inspection fee must be more than 100,000 or 200,000 yen?" Hoshino Ai thought of the salary she received from the president this month, which was only 50,000 yen.

Even if she added the more than 10,000 yen left from last month, she would only have about 60,000 yen left, which was not enough to support such consumption.

I am reluctant to go on a field trip with Saito Hiko next time.

"Actually, you don't need to spend any money. We can reimburse you." Saito Hiko knew that Hoshino Ai was living in financial difficulty, so he made up an excuse, "Okay, I'll give you the money back. Give me the ticket in your hand, and I'll ask the president to reimburse you for these expenses."

It is impossible for the president to reimburse him for the expenses of inspecting the site.

Because this performance was organized personally by him, not only would the president not reimburse him, but he would even have to pay the president and the employees so that they could prepare the things needed for the stage.

"Will the president really reimburse me?" Hoshino Ai asked skeptically.

"Of course the president has to reimburse me, otherwise how would I have any spare money?" Saito Hiko modified the content of the question and answered it.

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai recalled for a while and then said, "But when I first met you, didn't you say that you had earned 10 million?"

"But this 10 million is reserved for your use. You can't touch this money even for on-site inspection." Saitohiko considered Hoshino Ai's financial difficulties and said, "This time, because someone was performing, we couldn't just sneak in to observe the venue."

"So, for future inspections, you won't need to buy tickets," Saito Hiko said. "If you still need to buy tickets, just don't go in and go directly to the next inspection."
