"You must be kidding. Didn't you say it was an unpopular comic adaptation?"

"Definitely a great actor, right?"

“No…” someone said, “It seems like he’s really a newcomer.”

Chapter 89: The Unofficial Heroine

Chapter 89 88. The Passerby Heroine Who Is Not a Passerby at All

"Thank you for what you did before." [Kato Megumi] said.

[Aki Tomoya] asked, “Hmm? Thank you for what?”

"Just that one time, didn't you pick up my hat for me during spring break? The white beret."

"Is that true? Sorry, I don't remember it at all."

"Well, I think so. After all, it happened a month ago. Goodbye then~"

"Well, it's not just cars, you have to be careful with bicycles too."

The two looked at each other, sizing each other up.

"Cut." The director called for a stop. "This part is very well performed. It's passed in one take. Both of you have the right expressions and tones. Let's stop here for now. Everyone, take a break."

"Thank you for your hard work." Hoshino Ai bowed.

Makimura Taku felt that the weather was a bit hot and humid, so he unbuttoned the top button of his collar and tugged at his bow tie.

He was just about to go to the side to get some water when Ogura Tomoki, who had no role in the scene just now, reached out and handed him a bottle.

"Thank you." Makimura Taku was stunned for a moment before taking it.

She handed another bottle to Hoshino Ai, who thanked her in the same way.

The two stood beside the desk and drank water. Ogura Yuki sat on the chair and propped up his face: "You are quite good at acting, Makimura."

"You're not bad either."

"The director never praised me like this."

“Maybe the director forgot.”

“You’re not trying to comfort me, are you?” she said. “I’m not a two-year-old.”

Makimura Taku thought about it and said, "Maybe it's true that I am better than you."

"Tsk," she smacked her lips, "You should continue to say some nice things."

Makimura Taku didn't say anything. Ogura Tomoki suddenly glanced at his slightly open collar, looked away and said, "Buttons."

Makimura Taku subconsciously lowered his head and pinched the collar of his clothes. Just as he was about to say that he unbuttoned it because it was too hot, Hoshino Ai called his name from the side: "Wait."

"What's wrong."

With a hairpin in her mouth, Hoshino Ai tied her long hair into a ponytail, then took out the hairpin from her mouth and put it on top.

"Okay!" After changing her hairstyle, she stood in front of Taku Makimura.

Under Ogura Yuki's wide-eyed gaze, she helped Makimura Taku adjust the position of his black bow tie, "It's much better this way, perfect!"

"It should be in time to tidy it up when we shoot the next scene, right?" Makimura Taku said helplessly.

"...Wait!" Ogura Tomoki shouted.

Not only Makimura Taku and Hoshino Ai, but also several male and female extras who had not left the classroom looked over with puzzled expressions.

"What?" Hoshino Ai had a clear expression on her face, her hand still holding Makimura Taku's bow tie.

Makimura Taku sighed, understanding what she wanted to say.

Ogura Yuki waved his hands to cover up, smiled, and said, "Nothing."

As a result, the moment Hoshino Ai turned her head back, she pouted with displeasure on her face.

After this incident, the three of them chatted for a while. Less than five minutes later, two extras girls in high school uniforms came over from the right and mustered up the courage to ask Makimura Taku for his contact information.

"Is it okay, Senior?"

"I'm just a newcomer, not a senior."

"Are you really a newcomer?" said the girl with dyed yellow hair. "We have been observing you for a long time. Senior, you are not only handsome, but also have excellent acting skills. You don't have any unnatural expressions when facing the camera. You don't look like a newcomer at all! I don't believe it~"

Another girl said: "Ah, even if they are really newcomers, the seniors must be older than us. We all became adults this year~"

"That's right!"

"Looks like a high school student, right? Hehe."

"But, Makimura is only seventeen years old." Hoshino Ai said.

"Eh?"

"real or fake?"

"You sound like an adult, right?" Hoshino Ai said with a smile.

"Do minors have such acting skills?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Really." Ogura Tomoki used his voice to attract the attention of the four people, "By the way, Makimura hardly ever uses a cell phone, and he has never given his contact information to anyone else."

She looked at Taku Makimura, who showed no expression.

The other two girls also looked at him and asked if this was true?

Ogura Tomoki stepped on him twice from under the table, and Makimura Taku cleared his throat: "Sorry, but forget about the contact information."

The two women sighed in disappointment that anyone could hear and left in shame.

Tomoki Ogura clapped his feet on the ground with great satisfaction, and clasped his hands across his chest.

In fact, Makimura Taku had no intention of giving out contact information at the beginning, and he didn't care much about it.

Hoshino Ai stood beside him and studied his profile, then suddenly laughed: "You're quite polite to reject someone."

"I've always been like this, right?"

"Yeah," she tilted her head, "Not bad~"

Taku Makimura didn't know what to answer, so he remained silent.

Ogura Yuki stood up and turned to leave: "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'm going too!" Hoshino Ai followed her.

Taku Makimura watched the two high school girls disappear out the back door, then walked to the window sill and looked at the scene downstairs.

After a few days of plum rain, the rising sun is not dazzling even at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The oak leaves are green and the birds are singing.

There were other extras arranged for the filming location nearby, including the track and field club, the light music club, the tennis club...

The sound of a piano came melodiously from above my head, and someone was playing baseball on the sand, with the metal bat making a sharp sound when hitting the baseball.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and sat in an empty seat in the front row to rest.

Until Tomoki Ogura and Ai Hoshino came back from the bathroom, the three of them chatted about some random things.

After a while, staff members came in from outside and various extras returned to their positions. The director gave a signal and the next scene officially began filming.

It was around 5:40 in the evening when today’s shooting came to an end.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's stop here for today," said the director.

Three or four staff members put away the filming equipment in the classroom, and most of the extras left through the front and back doors.

The beige curtains swayed gently in the evening breeze.

The last few footsteps faded away, and in the quiet classroom dyed orange and yellow, only Makimura Taku and Hoshino Ai were left.

"Shall we go too?" Hoshino Ai asked.

"Don't forget to change your clothes back." Makimura Taku reminded the two.

"Oh, yes." Hoshino Ai just remembered.

While they were talking, Kaburagi Katsuya came in from outside and said, "You three did a great job today."

"Of course." Hoshino Ai looked very proud.

"Including me?" asked Tomoki Ogura.

"I've seen your scenes." Kaburagi Katsuya nodded and said, "Overall it's OK, just keep it up."

"Yeah, okay." She didn't say anything else.

"Today is the first day, so it's a perfect start." Kaburagi Katsuya greeted the three of them, "After you change your clothes, come downstairs and I'll drive you to dinner."

"May I?"

"Of course." He said, "As newcomers, your performance has exceeded my expectations. How can I not reward you?"

"Let's take a day off tomorrow!" suggested Hoshino Ai.

"Don't even think about it." He left from the front, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I don't want to wait for you too long."

"No problem~" said Hoshino Ai. She ran to the next classroom to get her clothes, and Ogura Tomoki also prepared to go over.

"Are you going too?" Makimura Taku glanced at her.

"why are you not going?"

"I thought you didn't think much of treating people to dinner."

"I don't like it." Ogura Yuki said, "But since you've gone, I'll go there reluctantly."

"You have to involve me in this matter." Makimura Taku complained helplessly.

Ogura Tomoki smiled, left the classroom, and then suddenly stuck his head out to warn Makimura Taku: "Don't peek."

"Who do you think I am?"

When I got home at night, Makimura Taku was sitting on the sofa with his body tilted. Ogura Tomoki sent a message on LINE: "Although I am only the second female lead, I quite like some of the plots."
