I push the kid!

Behind them came a group of girls wearing short skirts and short sleeves, revealing their white thighs.

They all looked like high school students, all of them had smiles on their faces and looked full of energy. They probably made an appointment to go out and play together on the weekend.

Makimura Taku was just sitting on a chair and looking at his phone, but his whole body was being observed by a pair of eyes.

When the tram arrived at the station, he got into the car. There were empty seats everywhere on the car, and each bench could only accommodate three people at most. He sat down near the door.

Opposite was a girl with black hair, wearing denim shorts and black stockings, with her legs together in an inward-facing position, very much like a Japanese woman.

As the car door was about to close, Taku Makimura took out his mobile phone and headphones, ready to listen to some music before arriving at the station.

Someone rushed in from outside at the last second. It was a girl wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and white trousers. The trouser legs covered some of her shoes. She was wearing round-toed black-soled sneakers on her feet.

After the girl came in, she grabbed the handrail next to Makimura Taku and began to breathe heavily.

Makimura Taku hadn't put on his headphones yet. When he heard the panting that sounded almost like a moan, he looked sideways and unexpectedly it was Koizumi Hanami.

"Ms. Koizumi?"

"Ah?..." Koizumi Hanami looked up.

More than thirty minutes later, the two got off the car at Ochanomizu.

"Well, I'll be leaving first." After leaving the station, Koizumi Hanami prepared to say goodbye to him.

"Oh." Makimura Taku nodded.

He took his usual route, but Koizumi Hanami caught up with him a few steps behind.

He glanced back and saw Koizumi Hanami's hands making various nervous movements, and the smile on her face seemed to be caused by someone threatening her.

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm heading this way too!"

"I know."

The two walked one after the other, leaving the station behind.

The sunlight slanted down on the earth. When they passed the musical instrument street, Koizumi Hanami did not go forward, but stopped in front of a Jita store.

Makimura Taku looked at her again and didn't ask anything.

Not long after, he came to the place where B Komachi was training alone. The door of the training room was ajar.

White electric light shone from the gaps and voices were heard. He waited outside the door for a while.

"It's a nice photo." Mai Watanabe said in a vulgar voice.

"Uncle, you are disgusting..." Hoshino Ai said.

"I should be the older brother because of my age."

"...Will you buy me?"

"I wouldn't dare lay a hand on a little girl."

"Kacha..." said Takamine Sanae.

"Ah?"

"Isn't that right?" Hoshino Ai asked.

"Did Watanabe influence you, Ai?"

"Huh? My question?"

Makimura Taku pushed the door open and said, "Am I here at a bad time?"

"Oh! Makimura-kun!" Mai Watanabe looked over.

"Good afternoon, Makimura." Hoshino Ai, who was dressed in fresh and simple clothes, heard the voice, turned her head, and waved to greet Makimura Taku.

Ninomiya Ritsuko and Takamine Sanae just turned to look at him.

"Good afternoon." Makimura Taku responded.

"You came just in time!" Mai Watanabe rushed over, "Makimura-kun, come and comment on our performance."

"Comment on the performance?"

"Yes."

Taku Makimura remembered the trending search that Hideki Nishida mentioned before.

"That's great, Makimura-kun," Takamine Sanae looked over, "Can you please play the role that Watanabe just played?"

"Me?" Makimura Taku pointed at himself.

Gao Feng Sanae nodded and repeated the program team's last-minute notice.

There are still more than ten days before the audition begins, so they can only seize the time to study their acting skills and put other training aside.

"It shouldn't be Watanabe's problem," Takamine Sanae explained the situation just now, "It's just that this character is originally a male, and Xiao Ai might have a hard time getting into the mood when facing her. I want you to give it a try."

"Well, Makimura-kun shouldn't be a professional..." Ninomiya Ritsuko raised her concerns.

"I can try." said Taku Makimura.

"I think Makimura-kun has the feel of an actor!" Mai Watanabe looked at him with her chin in her hand.

"Is there?" asked Ritsuko Ninomiya.

"For example, her face completely crushes all the stars!"

"My appearance..."

"Watanabe..." Hoshino Ai, who was standing next to Watanabe Mai, stared at Makimura Taku with the same eyes as her, and then said seriously, "I think what you said is indeed right!"

"right."

"As expected of Makimura!"

"Oh, you two..." Takamine Sanae pressed her temples.

Taku Makimura smiled at the three people; that smile was a little awkward but still graceful.

In the next ten minutes, Taku Makimura carefully read the paper script they brought over and said that it should be fine.

Takamine Sanae, Ninomiya Ritsuko and Watanabe Mai retreated to the corner of the room, leaving the center space free.

Under the bright lights, Taku Makimura and Ai Hoshino stood face to face. Everyone kept quiet consciously. Ai Hoshino looked at him, took a deep breath, and raised her head with a firm gaze.

First round of performances.

"It's a great photo." Makimura Taku smiled.

"Uncle, you are very...hahaha."

"Ahem." Makimura Taku reminded her.

"...I'm talking to Xiao Ai." Sanae Takamine didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hoshino Ai was still laughing, "But, Makimura's face really doesn't look like an uncle."

"What do you mean? Could it be that my face looks like an uncle?!" Mai Watanabe was shocked.

"Huh?" Ritsuko Ninomiya began to look at Mai Watanabe.

"No, it's not." Hoshino Ai clasped her hands together and apologized, "Do it again! I'm sorry, do it again!"

"Try it again and be more serious." Takamine Sanae sighed.

"I promise!" said Hoshino Ai.

Second round of performance.

"It's a great photo." Still smiling.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hoshino Ai.

"Uncle, you are disgusting."

"I should be the older brother because of my age."

"Will you buy me?"

"I wouldn't dare lay a hand on a little girl."

"Cut." Takamine Sanae called for a stop. "It's still not right, Ai."

"I think I noticed it too," said Mai Watanabe.

"Is it because the character's personality here is not obvious enough and is overshadowed by Xiao Ai's personality?" Ritsuko Ninomiya guessed.

"Is that so?" Hoshino Ai asked.

Takamine Sanae thought for a moment and said, "Try the next clip."

The third round of performances.

Before the performance, Ritsuko Ninomiya raised her hand and suggested: "Would it be better if we did a non-property performance this time?"

"Performance without props?" Mai Watanabe looked at her.

"Well, I think it's okay." Sanae Takamine asked Makimura Taku and Hoshino Ai with her eyes, and the two thought for a second and nodded at the same time.

The third round of performance began, and the two spent more than twenty seconds building up their emotions.

"Is it..." Looking at the non-existent photo in her hand, Xingye Ai's expression was slightly sad, "Is it because I'm not good-looking that you don't want me? Makimura?"

"No way." Makimura Taku pinched a corner of the photo to fully display the photo.

As if touched by this action, Hoshino Ai raised her head and looked at him, her eyes wavering.

Makimura Taku spoke gently: "Look, you are so beautiful."

"I think I'm in love with you!"

"Ok?"

"I think!" Hoshino Ai raised her voice and looked at him directly.

Her red lips were parted, and the light cast the shadow of her long eyelashes on her pupils, and the shadow flickered like butterfly wings.

"I seem to have fallen in love with you!"

Makimura Taku was a little troubled: "You must have confused your love for Tokyo and your love for me."

"You are pretending to be mature!" she said anxiously.
