What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Well, it seems that it is not for me, but for the person named Xia Shi.

Mai Sakurajima thought to herself somewhat frustratedly.

"Please take a seat." At this time, Haruta Masaki suddenly said in a loud voice: "Ms. Sakurajima Mai."

"...?!"

Sakurajima Mai, who was about to turn around and leave, was stunned for a moment and looked at Haruta Masaki: "Can you see me?"

Haruta Masaki pondered for a moment and said, "I will say I can't see it now, and then we can communicate by touching. What do you think?"

"Not very good, it's just pure power harassment."

The girl said coldly.

"But you see, humans have five senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch," Haruta Masaki said seriously, "Even if vision and hearing are useless, don't we still have the other three senses? I think it's necessary to confirm. If palpation doesn't work, I don't mind either smelling or prpr..."

"Please just use your vision and hearing normally. Using the other three senses to touch a girl is just perverted behavior, okay!"

The girl refused without hesitation.

"That's such a pity." Haruta Masaki shook his head regretfully.

"It's your head that will feel pity for this that makes me feel more pity."

And Sakurajima Mai also looked at the young man in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze.

If we only talk about appearance, even Mai Sakurajima, who has been in the entertainment industry since childhood and has seen countless handsome men, has to admit that the other person is definitely in the top three in appearance among all the men she has seen - the reason why he is not first is that the green buzz cut is so ruining to his appearance that even Masaki Haruta almost couldn't pull it off.

But being too sunny and cheerful makes people feel a little frivolous. From this point of view, Mai Sakurajima still prefers the inconspicuous simplicity of Washimiya Shiki.

Of course, it is also possible that it was just because Si Ji was the only one who could see her in the completely desperate environment yesterday, so he subconsciously became dependent on her, and even felt that he loved the other person's temperament.

No matter what, I have no way out now. I can only hold on to a glimmer of hope and hand the things over to the other party according to Si Ji's instructions.

"Washimiya-kun told me to give this to you."

The girl took out the script from her pocket, which was folded into a square like a small piece of tofu, and handed it to Haruta Masaki.

Naturally, Haruta Masaki had already read the script a long time ago, but according to the setting, this script was just written by Kasumigaoka Utaha, so he had no way of knowing the content, so he pretended to read it seriously.

Because there were not many words, Haruta Masaki quickly turned his eyes away from the script.

"No problem... Although it's not a big deal, the details still depend on you." Haruta Masaki said.

"I?"

Shiki had said something similar before getting on the train, which made Sakurajima Mai a little confused.

"In short, Mr. Washimiya believes that your current situation is entirely caused by your instinctive refusal to be seen by others, so he chose to have you come here to film a skit."

Haruta Masaki said seriously: "Short plays are just auxiliary, don't confuse them with the really important things."

"But……"

Mai Sakurajima still found it a little unbelievable.

I instinctively reject other people's sight, so other people can't see me?

What is the principle behind this? Why does this happen?

As for what Haruta Masaki called the truly important things, the girl was not without ideas, but for the moment she didn't know what to do.

Finally, she could only change the subject: "By the way, about my transfer..."

Because she is still under contract, according to regulations, she cannot participate in filming without the permission of her entertainment company.

"You don't have to worry about that." Haruta Masaki said nonchalantly, "The contract was already obtained yesterday. In other words, starting from yesterday, you are a member of our Moe Family."

Hearing that her contract was sold so easily, the girl's heart sank and she felt a little uncomfortable. At the same time, she was a little worried about the situation of Mengya Family Agency.

What should I do if this so-called Mengya Family is the same as those black brokerage companies, an agency that makes profits by making artists sell their dignity?

"Don't worry," Haruta Masaki said calmly, as if he saw through her worries: "Mengya Family is just an agency I bought and founded for my sister. It is not responsible to anyone except me, so it does not have much profit demand. Naturally, there is no need to let the artists under you do their dirty work. You just need to do what you want."

"Your sister?"

Mai Sakurajima was stunned.

Haruta Masaki's eyes sparkled, and then he took out his wallet, pulled out a photo from it, and showed it to her happily like a silly father: "Look, this is my sister Chishou Natsuyo. How about it, cute, right? Like a little angel, right? Let me tell you, Natsuyo is super cute, and before..."

Looking at Haruta Masaki, who was chattering incessantly and approaching her as if trying to make her recognize him as the cutest sister, Mai Sakurajima felt a little embarrassed, but she also realized that he was indeed different from those fat-headed presidents she had met before who only looked at the profit statements, and he seemed to be a good person.

So, my heart, which had originally felt heavy because I recalled having been forced to take swimsuit photos, suddenly felt a little relieved.

Maybe I could trust such a person a little more?

Chapter 325: Believe in the Possibility of Humanity

Although not as good as Korea, it is well known that Japan's pillow business culture is actually quite developed.

As a child star who debuted at a young age, Mai Sakurajima has naturally been targeted by people, but because her previous agent was her mother, at least she is relatively reliable in this regard.

But even so, after being stared at by those perverted gazes that seemed to want to lick her all over, Mai Sakurajima found it a little difficult to bear. The dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart were like a suppressed volcano, which could erupt at any time as the pressure grew higher and higher.

Perhaps this situation was caused by an outburst of her disgust at being coveted by others, and being tricked by her mother into taking highly revealing swimsuit photos was just a fuse for the outburst.

It was because of this experience that the girl became very sensitive to the gazes of others. Although she could not see any fan-shaped diagram from it, she could still feel whether there was any evil desire.

In the eyes of this young man named Haruta Masaki, she did not feel the disgusting gaze that gave her goose bumps at all. Rather, this guy looked at her as if she were looking at a carrot, and there was not even pure "appreciation" in his eyes.

Although there is some self-boasting in her tone, Mai Sakurajima is quite confident about her appearance and figure. Among the people of her generation in the entertainment industry today, she can at least be ranked in the top ten in terms of appearance alone, not to mention that those who have the same appearance as her are almost all idols, and their acting skills are completely outshined by her, a child star who debuted in the film and television industry since childhood.

Those who are indifferent to her are either those who have become extremely pure love lovers after gaining a lot of knowledge and will only show that kind of emotion to the person they like; or they are weird people with extremely distorted operating systems who have no feelings for her who has a normal aesthetic.

The girl glanced at the tall and handsome Haruta Masaki, and instinctively felt that the other person should be the former.

After all, even I, who am used to seeing handsome guys in the entertainment industry, would be subconsciously attracted by his beauty, let alone ordinary girls.

"By the way, what does the U149 project in the agency mean?" She shook her head slightly, discarding some inexplicable thoughts that popped up in her mind, and then asked other questions to divert her attention.

"It means that the idols participating in the project are all young boys under 149cm tall."

Haruta Masaki replied happily: "By the way, besides you and me, the only members of U149 are currently in the entire agency."

Sakurajima Mai: "..."

The case was solved, it was the latter.

"Don't hold the phone and act like you're hesitant about whether to call the police. Even if you call the police now, the police won't answer, right?"

Haruta Masaki sighed: "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously."

"I see. I almost thought Mr. Haruta was a scumbag who could only accept elementary school students. I apologize for my arbitrary judgment." The girl put down her phone and casually confirmed, "So there are other people in the office, right?"

Haruta Masaki smiled and nodded: "There was also a cleaning lady."

"Hello, is this the police station?"

As expected, no one answered the phone.

"Even if it's just a joke, you can't just call the police. It will leave a record."

Haruta Masaki snapped his fingers and said, "Or do you plan to stay like this for the rest of your life?"

The girl took the phone away from her ear, and the interface on the screen clearly did not show that she was making a call.

"But even if you say that...I don't know what to do?"

Sakurajima Mai tangled her fingers together, feeling confused and a little dazed as she said, "Rather, if it was really that simple, the problem should have been solved when I was worried and overthinking at home, right?"

"That means that even when you were daydreaming, you never wanted to accept other people's gazes."

Haruta Masaki mercilessly pointed out her problem: "You are still resisting other people's gaze."

“That’s not the case.”

But the girl shook her head.

Her eyes looked a little empty, as if she was reminiscing about something in the past, and her tone was ethereal: "I don't hate other people's looks, I can even say I like it... But what I like is the kind of looks that think I acted well and praise my performance. I have been acting since I was a child, and it's actually just because of this..."

"But I don't know when it started, but the way they looked at me changed. It was no longer pure admiration for my acting skills, or amazement at the characters I played and interpreted. Their eyes lingered more on my chest and lower body... This was not my original intention to become an actor. If I have to continue to be an actor and be looked at like this by those guys, then I might as well just retire!"

Seeing the girl's resolute expression, which seemed as if she had just spilled all her heart out, and her relieved expression, Haruta Masaki finally understood what she had been worrying about.

"I see. I think I understand the situation now."

Haruta Masaki looked at Sakurajima Mai and said, "Since you have come to my side, I can assure you that at least during the time I am still in the office, disgusting things like pillow business will never happen in our office... It is better to say that you are the only one in our entire office who will be involved in this aspect."

"After all, no matter how evil a guy is, he wouldn't be in heat with an elementary school student, right?" The girl stared at Haruta Masaki's face as if to confirm his expression.

"I think you may underestimate the possibilities of humans."

As expected, Haruta Masaki's expression did not change at all.

This made Sakurajima Mai feel a little relieved. It seemed that at least she didn't have to worry about the situation where she had just escaped from the wolf's den, but in the blink of an eye she inexplicably jumped into the fire pit - although in a sense, if Haruta Masaki was really a lolita complex, then she would be safer since she had passed the lolita shelf life.

"I don't want to believe in human possibility in this matter at all..."

The girl collected her expression, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Although I still don't quite understand how to accept other people's gazes, but you tell me what you want to do first. Maybe I will understand this while I'm working."

Haruta Masaki looked at her pretending to be relaxed and nodded.

Chapter 326 Quickshooter

"Actually, it's nothing special to do... You should have guessed it, right?"

Haruta Masaki raised the script in his hand.

Mai Sakurajima nodded silently.

After all, from the very beginning, Washimiya Shiki's actions were very organized and easy to guess - he first took me to find a famous light novel writer to ask for a script, then completed the transfer in the process, and finally asked me to hand over the script to Haruta Masaki who ran an agency.

No matter how you look at it, this development seems to allow her to be the lead actress and perform a good drama.

"Having said that, but..."

The young girl looked extremely hesitant.

"I know what you mean. You're worried that the camera won't be able to capture you, or even if it can, the cameraman may not be able to see you. Since even the leading actor can't see you, the skit naturally can't be filmed."

Haruta Masaki nodded, but his expression was not gloomy at all, but still bright and cheerful: "But even so, what's the problem?"

"Huh?" Mai Sakurajima was stunned.

No, no, no, they said they couldn't continue filming. For the crew, this is a failure among failures. It's not a situation that can be brushed off with a simple "what happened?", right?

But Haruta Masaki showed a faint and gentle smile.

He said patiently, "If the cameraman can't see and can't shoot, I'll take over. If the lighting and scenery can't be seen, I'll prepare them. If the makeup artist can't see, you can tinker with it yourself. As long as you don't turn into a zombie and can be on camera, there will always be a way."

There wasn't a trace of discouragement in the young man's tone, nor could he hear any sign of weakness or compromise. That kind of sunny and upbeat aura made Mai Sakurajima feel for a moment that what was happening to her was not some unprecedented supernatural situation, but just a small problem that couldn't be any smaller.

But only those who have been in a film crew can understand that if you really want to achieve that level, it will take many times more time and energy than an ordinary crew.

“…Why do you have to go to this extent?”

Now it was Mai Sakurajima who felt a little unconfident.

The young man's eyes were clear, and he had no desire for her at all, nor any feelings of love. It was obvious that he was not a lickspittle.

Although there was no solemn promise in his tone, it was filled with a resounding firmness that made people subconsciously believe it.

After putting aside the premise of love and body, Mai Sakurajima really couldn't think of anything about herself that was worthy of the other party's efforts.

Even considering that the other party owns an entire law firm, he doesn't look like a person short of money, and he should not be a fraudster who covets his relatively generous savings.

It is precisely because of this that Sakurajima Mai feels confused and finds it difficult to understand.

Why would such a person go to such great lengths to help me?

Rather than letting this question linger in her mind, which might eventually become a thorn in her heart, Mai Sakurajima asked it decisively.

"If I say that it was out of interest, you will definitely not accept it. In that case, you might as well just regard it as the result of my kindness."

Without exposing the system, it was difficult for Haruta Masaki to explain why he did that, but he still said mysteriously: "After all, even I have things I want to do."

But after showing off, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he added: "If you don't want to return to your original state, you don't have to do it. You can just live at home and continue to be a parasite. I will send you food and daily necessities on time, whether you are there or not, so don't worry that the supply will stop after I can't see you..."

The girl's expression was filled with reluctance to let go, but it was obvious that she had no intention of becoming a parasite - even though she had said she wanted to retire before, she did not give up, but studied hard for a while, and was even ahead of the curve judging by her progress.

So in the end, Mai Sakurajima nodded and agreed to the request for filming.

After that, the hell of filming began.
