Chapter 226 Invitation (34)

"What a simple artist image."

Toru Amuro, who had been secretly observing Akikawa Sorasuke, silently gave this evaluation in his heart.

Whether it was the self-introductions between Akikawa Sosuke when they first met, or Akikawa Sosuke's answers to questions asked by the host Nakamura Haruna just now.

Toru Amuro found that the performance of the artist Akikawa Sosuke was indeed too ordinary.

Although Akikawa Sosuke might be able to attract a lot of attention just by his good looks, the image he showed in this job had no special features at all.

He neither showed his own personality nor gave the impression that he had prepared his speech in advance.

Compared with other guests around him, Akikawa Sosuke really looked like a relative who was forced in with money.

Toru Amuro knew that the true situation of Akikawa Sosuke couldn't be like this.

But just looking at Akikawa Sosuke's behavior, there is no sign that he is smart at all.

So this proves that Akikawa Sorasuke's artist persona is really well maintained.

If I hadn't deduced the true situation of Akikawa Sorasuke through the existing information.

If you analyze Akikawa Sorasuke based solely on what you have seen him say and do.

I'm afraid I might be deceived too.

The clock hand soon pointed to twelve o'clock, and it was time for lunch break.

Haruna Nakamura and Kenichi Matsumoto both brought pre-prepared lunch boxes from home.

When the time came, Seto Rin left the Tokyo Big Sight and went out to find a restaurant for lunch.

As for Toru Amuro himself.

He has the habit of getting up in the morning and making himself a sandwich for breakfast.

However, he felt that if the sandwiches were left out for too long the ingredients would become stale, thus affecting the taste, so he would choose to eat out during the rehearsal days.

Toru Amuro noticed that Akikawa Sosuke was also walking outside, and realized that he was also going out to eat, so he quickly took a few steps to catch up with him.

"Akikawa-kun, please wait a moment."

When Akikawa Sosuke heard Amuro Toru's voice, he stopped and turned back with some confusion.

"I'm so sorry for calling you Akikawa-kun right off the bat."

"It's okay. Mr. Amuro is older than me, right? What can I do for you?"

Akikawa Sosuke didn't mind that Amuro Toru addressed him as "Sir" right from the start, and asked.

"Akikawa-kun, are you going out for lunch?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'm going out to eat too, so how about we go together?"

Toru Amuro smiled at Akikawa Kusuke.

"Of course, it's okay if Akikawa-kun doesn't want to."

"It's okay. I don't know what to eat."

"Okay, there's a coffee shop nearby that serves pasta and sandwiches for lunch. What do you think of it, Akikawa-kun?"

Toru Amuro asked.

"Ok."

Akikawa Sosuke agreed, and then went to a chain coffee shop near the Tokyo International Exhibition Center with Amuro Toru.

It's lunch time now and there are many people in the store.

However, Akikawa Sosuke and Amuro Toru were lucky enough to find a spot.

Toru Amuro ordered a plate of pasta and coffee, while Sosuke Akikawa ordered coffee and a sandwich.

"Is this all you're going to eat for lunch, Akikawa-kun?"

"Ah."

Akikawa Sosuke did not explain much on this topic. But after reading Akikawa Sosuke's medical report, Amuro Toru knew what was going on.

'It's a legacy of liver failure.'

"But now he doesn't seem to need medication to eat anymore, but his appetite is still very small."

Amuro Toru thought in his heart.

In order to increase table turnover, Japanese restaurants that serve lunch usually serve food very quickly.

Just a few minutes later, the lunch ordered by Toru Amuro and Sosuke Akikawa was placed in front of them.

"By the way, what made Akikawa-kun decide to sign up for this job?"

Amuro Toru asked curiously.

He was a little unsure about Akikawa Sosuke's criteria for choosing a job.

He always felt that with Akikawa Sosuke's appearance, he should not be involved in such a job that has almost nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Lack of money is unlikely.

After all, Akikawa Sosuke received a considerable amount of insurance compensation last year.

"Because there was no better job, Ms. Itakura said that this job still had some chances of being exposed, so I signed up."

After saying this, Akikawa Sosuke picked up a sandwich on the table and took a bite.

Toru Amuro rolled up the spaghetti covered with orange-red meat sauce with a fork, but did not eat it.

Instead, he waited until Akikawa Sosuke finished speaking before putting the pasta into his mouth.

"Why did you suddenly come to have dinner with me, Mr. Amuro?"

At this time, Toru Amuro heard Akikawa Sorasuke's question.

He had already thought of a reason for this.

"After all, I usually have lunch with my colleagues at work."

"It would be a bit too lonely if I were alone."

"Besides me, the only one who goes out to eat at noon here is Miss Seto."

"She is a JD (female college student) after all, so it's not appropriate to invite her."

After revealing the superficial reason to Akikawa Sousuke, Amuro Toru continued:
"I still want to have a good relationship with you, Akikawa-kun. After all, in my opinion, it's only a matter of time before you become famous."

"If we establish a good relationship now, when you become famous in the future, maybe you will come to help me with my work, right?"

Toru Amuro said to Akikawa Sosuke in a joking tone.

Regardless of whether Akikawa Sosuke had any doubts because of the fact that I suddenly invited him to dinner,
Everything I said to Akikawa Sosuke just now was necessary.

By stating the purpose clearly, he could alleviate Akikawa Sorasuke's doubts about himself.

However, his speech, which was very consistent with his identity as a luxury goods store clerk and had a strong purpose, could help him gain Akikawa Sorasuke's trust more quickly.

really.

Toru Amuro saw that after hearing what he said, a slight smile appeared on Akikawa Sosuke's face, which usually showed little emotion.

"Mr. Amuro really has confidence in me."

"After all, his good looks are there. I think it's only a matter of time before Akikawa-kun becomes famous."

Toru Amuro also said to Akikawa Sorasuke with a smile.

From what he just said, Toru Amuro could clearly feel that Akikawa Sorasuke's guard had been reduced a lot.

And the content of the subsequent chats with myself also became much softer.

There is no longer that dry feeling of question and answer at the beginning.

This kind of thing is easy for Toru Amuro.

But he did not take advantage of the fact that Akikawa Sousuke had let down his guard and directly inquire about Akikawa Sousuke's privacy.
