Daily entertainment uses love to generate electricity

Although I worked overtime at the company the night before until after 11 pm, Kobayashi Ikki got up from bed on time at 7 pm.

As a bottom-level employee of a securities company, he has finally survived the tide of layoffs in the securities industry and has long been used to the daily life of social animals.

After washing up in the bathroom, Kobayashi Ikki took out the milk for breakfast from the refrigerator, and the bread and jam came to the living room. He sat on the sofa, and then turned on the TV habitually while watching the morning news, smearing jam on the bread.

"...The next is news from the art world. First, it is the report from "Female Self" released today. Singer Takuki and the lead singer of the ZARD band Sakai Izumizu were photographed walking together late at night..."

"Nani?" Kobayashi Ikki, who had originally reported the TV station inadvertently, heard the news, paused with the hand wiping jam, then threw the bag and grabbed the glasses thrown aside, rolling and crawling to the TV.

"On the night when the two collaborative singles were released, singer Takumi Takagi and ZARD lead singer Izumi Sakai were witnessed to appear near a record store in Takarain Minato. The two were holding hands and behaved intimately. The reporter of "Female Self" took several clear photos..."

The newly changed host of the TV station looked sweet and his voice was very pleasant, but Kobayashi Ikki didn't listen to a word about what she was broadcasting next. He repeated the words in the press release just now, "Hand in hand and behave intimately." With a frustrated look on his face, he mechanically returned to the coffee table.

Some time ago, major securities companies were laying off employees and cutting salaries. At such a difficult time, if ZARD hadn't encouraged him with singing at his lowest point, he might have been defeated by huge pressure. For him, ZARD's lead singer Miss Izumizu Sakai is no longer as simple as an ordinary singer. Her singing was like a lighthouse in the dark, bringing him hope, courage and strength.

But now, the character who is regarded as a goddess as a spiritual sustenance is in love. This fact really made him feel a little relieved for a while.

"By the way, it seems that "Female Self" was mentioned on TV just now?" After eating two bites of bread, Kobayashi Ikki, who was a little calmer, remembered the previous report on TV came from "Female Self".

"No, I'm going to buy a magazine to confirm." Thinking of this, he ate the bread in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the briefcase and hurried out.

"We got this magazine first." Chunhe looked at the man in front of him with anger, who looked like a company employee.

"Ahem, it should be what you and I got at the same time, right?" Kobayashi Ichikki didn't expect that he had gone to several convenience stores to find the only magazine that had not been sold yet, and even met his competitors.

In normal times, out of politeness, he would not compete with the little girl, but the magazine in front of him is related to his favorite singer, so he should not give up anything easily.

Chunhe's little face blushed. When she was picking up the magazine just now, she and the man in front of her did get the magazine together, and she was even a little slower. However, for the same reason as Kobayashi Ikki, she was determined to win this magazine, "Then...even if you got it at the same time. You are a big man, why are you embarrassed to compete with the little girl?"

"Sorry, but this magazine really has something I want to know very much. If possible, I hope you can give it to me." Kobayashi Ichikki's tone softened, but his hands were still holding a corner of the magazine.

"This is what we want to say. There is also the latest news about our favorite singers in this magazine." Dongyang, who was standing aside, usually quiet, came over and stared at Kobayashi Ichikki and said.

Listening to their words, the two girls in front of him should be the fan of Takagi Sang. Although Takagi Takumi's Kobayashi Ikki has also heard a lot of them, ZARD still has a higher position in his heart compared to it.

At most, these two girls are high school students, and they don’t have much spare money. Thinking of this, Kobayashi Ichikawa showed a sunny smile and said, “To be honest, I have gone to 8 convenience stores to find this magazine that has not been sold yet. That, I will give you twice the original price of this magazine. How about you give this magazine to me?”

"I think beautifully..." Chunhe, who was outspoken, immediately responded. She looked at her best friend, and then nodded heavily together, "We don't care about your little money!"

"I..." After hearing such an answer, Kobayashi Ikki had no choice but to give up and catch the magazine tighter.

Now, the two high school girls and a company employee refused to give in and stood in a stalemate.

"Okay, okay, it's just a magazine." At this time, the owner of the convenience store also noticed the situation here. The fat middle-aged man kicked his slippers and walked to the three of them, touching his almost bald head and said indifferently: "I know that today's magazine contains reports of ZARD's lead singer Sakai's love story with singer Takagi Sang, but it's not like this, right?"

"As for!" This time, the three of them refuted surprisingly unanimously.

"Okay, as for...these children nowadays..." The convenience store owner shook his head helplessly, "Here, I still have a book I wanted to keep for my wife to show. Now I'll sell it to you at the original price."

"Is that so? Then thank the boss." When Chunhe saw that the owner had a copy of "Female Self" in his hand, he immediately let go of the magazine that had been wrinkled due to the competition and snatched the owner's hand.

When paying, the store owner was in a tone of a person who had been here, and he lowered his head to look for change and said to the three people: "I have opened a convenience store here for so long. I have seen many young people like you. Once you hear that your idol's relationship is exposed, you will come to the convenience store to buy magazines like you. But when you really confirm that your fantasy is shattered, the first thing you do when you get home is to tear off all the posters on the wall and throw them into the trash can. So, it's not a big deal for you, just change to another idol to like it."

After saying this, he put the 680 yen that he wanted to make a change on the table. But after waiting for a long time, no one went to get the money. The owner raised his head strangely, and then he found that the three people in front of him were glaring at him with anger, "That... what did I say wrong?"

"Of course, what we like is the songs and personal charm of Takagi and Sakai, which has nothing to do with their relationship." Harukawa and Dongyang said angrily.

"So too!" Kobayashi Ikki, who was beside him, actually agreed.

"Uh..." The shop owner was stunned on the spot. Didn't these three still argue with each other just now?
