I push the kid!

“Isn’t this the most suitable temperature?”

“Different coffee beans are bound to be slightly different.”

"..." Makimura Taku glanced at her profile.

Saito Ichigo, wearing his usual outfit, entered the store, walked up and said, "Makino-kun, are you free now? Can I take up a little of your time?"

"He's working, uncle," said Maki Teramoto.

"That's right," Saito Ichigo touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "But I think the store doesn't seem that busy... Makimura-kun, how about talking to me first?" He lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Ogura asked me to come to you about B Komachi."

Makimura Taku looked at him without saying anything, and turned directly to Teramoto Maki: "Excuse me, please help me adjust the water temperature to the most suitable position."

"...leaving early again?"

"To be precise, it's a request for leave."

"It will only take a moment..." Saito Ichigo said silently.

"never mind."

"Feel sorry."

Taku Makimura walked out from the bar and found a seat to sit down with Ichigo Saito.

Where he was standing originally, Hideki Nishida came over and said, "I thought you were used to this kind of thing, Teramoto."

"I'm used to it." Teramoto Maki sighed as she looked in the direction of Makimura Taku, "But Yuki hasn't yet."

"Manager?" asked Hideki Nishida.

"Sister Maki..." Koizumi Hanami came out of the small room holding a meal of something inexplicable.

The two men looked at her sideways. She looked like she couldn't hold it anymore, and the things piled on top looked shaky. "Can you help me?"

"What are you busy with?" Teramoto Maki held her forehead and walked over while speaking.

On the other side, Ichigo Saito, who was sitting by the window, talked with Taku Makimura about B Komachi. Before that, he repeated what Tomoki Ogura had told him on the phone.

"Why me?"

"Uh. I thought you knew."

"I'm really not sure." Makimura Taku shook his head.

Saito Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then said, "Let's not worry about this for now. Maybe Miss Ogura has her own ideas."

Makimura Taku looked at him. Saito Ichigo took out the planning paper he had brought with him, spread it on the table, and turned the topic to B Komachi.

"For now," he said, "with Ms. Ogura's financial support, I want to send B Komachi to the LALALAIA Theater Company for training first."

"LALALAI Theater?"

"Yes." He pushed the stack of papers over.

Taku Makimura took out the colorful poster about the LALALAI theater troupe.

Above is a photo of the theater troupe's building, which is located in Shibuya. The building is more than ten stories high, with brand new walls and the glass reflecting brilliant colors under the sunlight. Just looking at the photo you can tell that they are quite powerful.

There were several names of idols who had trained and debuted here written in bold black letters next to it. There was a contact number at the bottom, and the name of the director of the troupe was Toshiro Kindaichi.

Makimura Taku looked at them one by one and said, "It's up to you to decide."

"..." Saito Ichigo was silent for a while, "Ms. Ogura is not here, but I still want to hear your opinion. What do you think? The registration fee for this troupe is not small, although 50 million is definitely enough..."

"That's all we need to do." Makimura Taku put the poster back, stood up a pile of papers and shook them.

“No references either?”

"I feel very good."

"That's it."

"Yes."

"Let me get this straight," Saito Ichigo said, "I've actually already contacted this theater group, and we've almost reached an agreement on the registration. It's just that regarding the funding, I need to ask you for one favor..."

He pondered for a moment, and then said in his unique voice, "Murakura-kun, I wonder if you are interested in becoming an artist, that is, an actor, under our agency."

"Is it this matter again?" Makimura Taku rubbed his eyes.

"Makimura-kun, you have a very high appearance and are young, and I think there is something different about you. If you choose to become an actor, I believe your chances of success are quite high. Why don't you give it a try?"

“I think it’s nice to have a leisurely day every day.”

"You mean working in this store?"

"Ah."

"Whether it's salary or benefits, it's definitely not as good as a famous actor." Saito Ichigo asserted, and then continued, "Besides, our agency now has the funds provided by Ms. Ogura, so we will definitely not treat you unfairly, so you can rest assured."

After he finished speaking, Makimura Taku lowered his eyes, supported his chin with his hand, and pondered for a while with a complicated expression. Saito Ichigo waited patiently.

"This reason doesn't convince me," said Makimura Taku, "and the money Ms. Ogura sponsored you should be used on B Komachi."

"If you are willing to become an actor in our agency, you can save a lot of money."

Makimura Taku looked at him in confusion.

Saito Ichigo clenched his fist and coughed:

"Makino-kun, I'll be honest with you. The director of the LALALAI Theater is also quite interested in you. If you can join our agency, not only can you receive free training at the LALALAI Theater, but it can also reduce B Komachi's training expenses by half."

"I see." Makimura Taku nodded slightly after thinking about it, and then asked, "But why does the person in charge of that theater group know me?"

"Well..." Saito Ichigo hesitated and said, "Maybe I have seen you in person or in a photo somewhere? Hmm," he tugged at his collar and sat up straight, "Anyway, if you are willing, we can invest more funds in B Komachi."

Makimura Taku thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, President Saito, but this reason still doesn't convince me."

"Still not working?"

"Yes."

Saito Ichigo exhaled and looked out the window. The sky was filled with thick clouds, and the sun was not visible.

His voice was as if he was completely relaxed, and he said helplessly: "If that's the case, there's nothing we can do."

"As for B Komachi, we should send them to the theater for training."

"Ah."

"In that case." Makimura Taku prepared to stand up.

"Makimura-kun," Saito Ichigo called him. Makimura Taku looked at him and stopped. Saito Ichigo said faintly, "You probably don't know about me and Xiao Ai."

"I don't know what you mean, but I should know something about it."

"To me," Saito Ichigo said embarrassedly, "Ai is like my daughter. I don't know if you can understand."

"It seems you are a responsible guardian."

"Whether I am responsible or not is another matter." He shook his head and laughed at himself. "Before, when the agency was out of funds, I had no choice but to temporarily give up B Komachi. Now that I have the support of Ms. Ogura, I hope to give as many resources as possible to them, to Xiaoai."

He paused, "You may not believe this, but Xiao Ai decided to become an idol probably because of me. I was the one who suggested that she become an idol."

"so."

"Let her become an idol. This has special meaning to me..." Saito Ichigo said, "Makino-kun, if you are willing to go to the LALALAI Theater Company for training as an actor, Mr. Kindaichi promised me that he would arrange the best producer guidance for you and Xiao Ai."

Makimura Taku hesitated for a moment, and Saito Ichigo spoke to him again: "For you and for Xiao Ai, I still hope you can think about it carefully."

"only……"

"Xiao Ai also hopes that you can become an actor, doesn't she?"

"..."

"Besides, I don't know if this is right."

The surroundings became quiet. He wiped his nose, raised his eyes and said:

"Xiao Ai's decision to become an actress must have something to do with what happened to you last year. Although I don't know what happened then, she often mentioned you after she came back. This child... rarely mentions other people's names to me so actively.

"If you can become an actor, besides allowing the agency to invest more resources in Xiao Ai, I believe you can also help her to some extent."

Taku Makimura considered his words, unsure of what to say.

Ichigo Saito put away the things on the table and left a copy of the document for Taku Makimura.

He stood up from his seat and snorted through his nose as if he had smoked:

"After saying so much, the final decision is still up to you. If you want, whether you tell me or Xiao Ai, please tell me before Saturday, because starting from Saturday, I will send B Komachi to the LALALAI Theater."

He clamped a pile of papers between his hands and body, and looked at Makimura Taku from diagonally above. Makimura Taku replied, "I understand."

He nodded, pushed up his sunglasses which had slipped down half a centimeter, said hello and left.

On Friday, it started to rain moderately at eight in the morning and stopped completely at around four o'clock.

The sun came out at five o'clock, and the faint setting sun shone through the drifting dark clouds. There was not a dry spot on the ground.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Taku Makimura parted ways with Maki Teramoto and others, and each took the tram home alone.

In the deserted late-night bus, you can see the dark night sky reflected on the window of the opposite car.

Not long after, he got out of the car and bought a bottle of MAX coffee under the lighted vending machine. While thinking about what the president said, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was Tomoki Ogura calling him.

"I'm Makimura."

"I know you are Makimura." Ogura Yuki sounded in a good mood. "Tomorrow B Komachi will go to the LALALAI troupe for training. Did you know about this?"

"Yeah, I know." Makimura Taku opened the coffee ring with one hand and took a sip, "Ogura."

"What's wrong."

"I quit."
