I push the kid!

It was precisely because he knew this that Makimura Taku had that thought in the past:

She is the special, unique girl who absolutely needs to be saved.

Thanks to the leader of [Mr. Monthly Ticket].

Chapter 38 38. The first, the very beginning, the very first

The coffee was steaming. There were less than six customers sitting in the small shop, and the surroundings were relatively quiet.

"President Saito," Hoshino Ai, who was standing by, couldn't sit still and put on a warm smile, "This matter is over, and I'm back safe and sound, so don't mention it again."

"Really?" Saito Ichigo rubbed his temple and sighed, "I said this in the hope that you can take care of yourself and stop doing things that make Kyoko and I worry. Why don't you seem to reflect on yourself at all?"

"I'm reflecting on it, I'm reflecting on it~" Hoshino Ai replied with a smile, then gave Saito Ichigo a thumbs up and said seriously, "I promise, there will never be a next time!"

"I really hope you can do it..." Saito Ichigo said weakly.

"Um, President Saito," Makimura Taku asked, "Miss Hoshino said you wanted to see me, so it shouldn't just be to thank me, right?"

After he said that, he turned to Hoshino Ai and confirmed with her eyes. Hoshino Ai didn't think much and answered directly.

"It's definitely more than that." She smiled charmingly, "After all, drinking coffee with you is also a very important thing!"

"lie……"

"Ahem." Saito Ichigo coughed dryly and took a sip of coffee before saying, "That's one reason, but I do have other ideas."

"Is that so?" Hoshino Ai was also curious, "President, why didn't you tell me? What is it?"

Makimura Taku sat up straight and waited for him to continue speaking, while Saito Ichigo pulled his sunglasses down a little and looked at Makimura Taku's face carefully.

"President Saito," Hoshino Ai reminded from the side after a few seconds, "Even if Makimura is very handsome, there is no need to keep staring at him like this, right?"

"This is because..." Saito Ichigo retracted his forward-leaning upper body.

"You haven't even shaved yet, what if you scare Mucun away?"

"Hey, Xiao Ai, that's not the way to say it." He subconsciously touched his stubble, "Men with beards are attractive. What do you, a girl, know?"

"Really?" Hoshino Ai thought for a few seconds in confusion, then looked at the profile of Makura Taku, with an expression as if she had made a new discovery, "That's not right, Makura is also handsome without a beard."

"That's because we are in different age groups. Mucun is only a few years old."

"Seventeen?" Hoshino Ai looked at him.

"Yeah." Makimura Taku nodded.

"Only seventeen?" Saito Ichigo leaned forward again and stared at Makimura Taku.

As if scanning the number of pores on his face through his glasses, he nodded thoughtfully after a while.

“The age is right.”

"What do you mean?" Hoshino Ai said.

Makimura Taku probably guessed it, but Saito Ichigo didn't intend to waste time, so he asked the question directly.

"Macun, I wonder if you are interested in becoming an actor at our Mei Pro agency. I think you have excellent qualifications in all aspects."

He paused, then continued:

"I heard that too. You're working in a coffee shop now, right? The salary must not be that high.

"Although our firm is only a small company, the salary we can offer you should be better than that of the coffee shop. If you are interested, why not join us?"

While saying this, Ichigo Saito's eyes were always on Makimura Taku, and he handed the personal business card in his hand to him without him noticing.

Hoshino Ai looked back and forth at the two of them, her expression somewhat surprised: "President, do you want Makimura to become an actor?"

"Yes."

She stared at Makimura Taku again.

Makimura Taku turned over the business card in his hand and looked at it, while Saito Ichigo placed his hands in a triangle on the table, his chin resting on the back of his hands, waiting for him quietly.

None of the three made a sound, and Saito Ichigo took a sip of his coffee.

Hoshino Ai came back to her senses and then smiled happily.

"That's a good idea. I've always thought that you, Makimura, are very suitable to be an actor. You have a pretty face, a good figure, and a good temperament." She asked Makimura Taku, "Do you want to join our agency?"

"Be an actor." Makimura Taku repeated after a pause, and casually flipped over another business card. He put the business card on the table and pushed it back. "No need, President. My current job is pretty good, and I don't have any plans to change jobs right away."

"...Ahem." Saito Ichigo held down the business card that he pushed back and said quickly, "You don't have to reject me so quickly. You can go back and think about it for a few days."

"I'm not interested at the moment," Taku Makimura told him.

"No interest at all?" Hoshino Ai asked.

Ichigo Saito froze in his seat, feeling somewhat frustrated.

"That's not the case," Makimura Taku shook his head, "It's just that my current job is pretty good, and I have no plans to quit."

"Hmm...I see." Hoshino Ai touched her lower lip.

"In that case!" Saito Ichigo said, "You can keep this business card for now. It's fine to come back to me if you're interested someday."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing inappropriate."

"Maybe one day I'll change my mind," Hoshino smiled, "Just like when I decided to become an idol."

"We are different, aren't we?" Makimura Taku looked at her face and smiled unconsciously.

"Maybe there are some similarities?" Hoshino Ai thought, touching her nose with her finger.

"I'll take the business card first."

"Okay, you can take your time to think about it." Saito Ichigo relaxed.

The three of them finished their coffee and ordered some desserts to while away the time.

Originally, Ichigo Saito suggested that everyone go out for dinner together in the evening, but then he received a call and was told he had to go back immediately for work. They could only find another opportunity to have dinner together later, and Makimura Taku naturally had no objection.

After hanging up the phone, Saito Ichigo called Hoshino Ai over.

Before the three of them separated at the store door, Hoshino Ai said something to Saito Ichigo, and then walked to Makimura Taku.

"I'll take you to the station," she said.

"You're not going back with the president?"

"President, you're already an adult, it's okay for you to go back by yourself." Hoshino Ai gave him a very cute expression.

Makimura Taku shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What do you think of me?"

Hoshino Ai smiled even more: "Let's go."

It was around five o'clock when they strolled through the streets of Ochanomizu. It got dark earlier than usual and the dusk only stayed for a moment before disappearing.

The street lamps on the sidewalks were lit white, and trams passed over the bridges and shuttled between the buildings in the city.

The commercial building stood in the deep darkness. Looking up, I could see two or three stars, but the moon was not clear.

They passed by a telephone booth, walked past a newspaper office, and saw a small bar with a flashing neon sign and various smells wafting out of it.

The two of them didn't stay long and rushed to the station.

The road near the station is right next to the Kanda River. The riverbed is neither wide nor narrow, and the water is sparkling under the lights of the city.

The green plants under the guardrail extend into the water. If you smell it carefully, you can feel that the air here is slightly fresh.

"Just send it here." Makimura Taku stopped.

"Is this all right?" Hoshino Ai looked at him, "I was planning to take you all the way to the station."

"You should go back early too."

"It doesn't matter when I go back."

"Then go back early." Makimura Taku waved his hand and turned around to say goodbye.

"Mucun." The voice came from behind.

He turned half his body to look back, and the sudden evening breeze slightly blew their hair.

"Do you hate me?" Hoshino Ai said softly.

"how come."

"A little bit?"

"it's OK."

"Am I troublesome?"

"Yes."

"That means I hate you."

"It doesn't matter what happens." He said gently.

Hoshino Ai lowered her head, and the street light shone on her head, making her soft purple hair shine slightly.

The spring breeze, which disappeared during the day, continues to blow in the quiet night.

The tram passed by not far away, and the voices of pedestrians were so faint that they were about to fade out of this world.

They stood face to face, Hoshino Ai raised her head, and her smile behind the backlight was still as bright as spring.

"Makimura."

"Ah."

"I hate you."

She spoke with a smile.
