In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 36 Flattered
Two days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for stage play rehearsal.

Compared to Akikawa Sorasuke who is still as lifeless as ever.

Today, Itakura Misaki seemed particularly excited.

Needless to say, the reason is obvious.

Today, this young agent finally got the opportunity to work with her idol, Yoko Okino.

Akikawa Sosuke and others arrived at the Imperial Theater half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

As time approached the agreed gathering time, more and more artists arrived at the scene.

Yoko Okino, who had started rehearsing a week ago, arrived at the theater fifteen minutes early.

A refreshing and pleasant "Good morning~" instantly swept away the remaining tiredness in the minds of many people present.

"Hurry up, Mr. Akikawa! Let's go say hello to Miss Yoko too!"

Itakura Misaki seemed particularly excited.

She looked at Okino Yoko, who was immediately surrounded by many artists at the scene.
He reached out and grabbed Akikawa Sosuke's arm and tried to pull him towards Okino Yoko.

"Mr. Akikawa also said that he likes Miss Yoko very much, right?"

"Ms. Itakura, you should go by yourself. I'll go say hello to Senior Nishihara."

Akikawa Sosuke was not very interested in Okino Yoko.

In addition, he had already judged that Yoko Okino was most likely acquainted with the original owner, so he didn't want to take the initiative to contact Yoko Okino.

Anyway, he knew that Yoko Okino would avoid him and would not take the initiative to contact him.

"Hey~ Mr. Akikawa can actually be shy~"

Itakura Misaki misunderstood.

She teased Akikawa Sosuke with a playful expression, and then quickly walked towards the direction where Okino Yoko was.

Akikawa Sosuke walked towards another "acquaintance" from his company who was present.

Koichi Nishihara was eliminated by himself when auditioning for the role of high school student Sae Kotani not long ago.

"Good morning, Nishihara-senpai!"

"Thanks to Nishihara-senpai's guidance during my last audition, I was able to successfully get the role."

Nishihara Hiroichi, who was looking at Okino Yoko from afar, couldn't help but tremble his eyes when he heard what Akikawa Sorasuke said, and almost couldn't keep a straight expression.

However, after suppressing the anger rising in his heart, he still gave Akikawa Sosuke a kind smile.

"Congratulations, Akikawa-kun. It seems that Akikawa-kun's temperament is quite suitable for a high school student."

"Really? Thank you, Nishihara-senpai."

Akikawa Sosuke smiled at Nishihara Koichi a little embarrassedly.

Nishihara Hiroichi's cheek twitched again, and he felt even more disgusted with Akikawa Sosuke in front of him.

"You're such an idiot, you can't even hear that I'm mocking you for being childish."

"Director Takemura's current level is not good enough to choose such an idiot with no acting experience."

Before the New Year holiday last year.

Koichi Nishihara, who was originally preparing to go to Yoko Okino's office, accidentally overheard the conversation between Yoko Okino and her agent Sae Nakata.

I learned that Okino Yoko wanted Akikawa Sosuke to leave the company, but she had no suitable reason.

Later, Koichi Nishihara investigated Akikawa Sousuke's information and found out that he had signed up for the same stage play audition as Yoko Okino.

Therefore, Koichi Nishihara also signed up for the same role audition.

He wanted to discourage Akikawa Sosuke from acting while also getting the opportunity to act with Okino Yoko.

I never thought that I was not selected.

And the director gave him another minor supporting role as a favor.

This was a great humiliation for Koichi Nishihara, who had always been proud of his acting skills.

So naturally, I began to dislike Akikawa Sorasuke.

"I'm angry."

Akikawa Sosuke noticed that Nishihara Hiroshi in front of him raised his chin slightly, and felt a little amused.

This is a micro-expression that represents a person's inner anger.

For this kind of stranger,

But those who come here to find trouble for no apparent reason,
Akikawa Sosuke will never swallow his anger.

He knew how to effectively provoke the other person's anger.

I also know that the other party can't do anything to me.

and.

I can also maintain my image of being pure-minded by dealing with Koichi Nishihara's behavior.

It's simply killing two birds with one stone.

the other side.

Okino Yoko was chatting with a group of artists around her when she was suddenly grabbed by Itakura Misaki who squeezed in from behind. "Ms. Yoko, I have been a fan of you since you were in the Earth Ladies Team!

"I never thought I would have the opportunity to work on the same job site with you. It's such an honor!"

"Ahahaha, thank you for liking me."

Yoko Okino was already used to this kind of scene and smiled at Itakura Misaki.

"As I recall, your last name is Itakura, right?"

"Wow! Miss Yoko actually remembered my name!!"

Upon hearing this, Itakura Misaki was instantly excited and felt extremely flattered.

She did not indulge in the happiness of talking to her idol.

Itakura Misaki always remembers that she is Akikawa Sousuke's agent, so at this time she should also let Okino Yoko leave an impression of the artist she is in charge of.

"Um. My supervisor, Mr. Akikawa, said he also likes Ms. Yoko."

"It's just that he seems a little shy and doesn't want to come over and talk to Miss Yoko, so."

“Huh?!”

Itakura Misaki was halfway through her words when she suddenly heard a rather cute voice in front of her.

Then, Okino Yoko suddenly covered her mouth with both hands, and a faint rose color quickly appeared on her clear and bright face.

This scene is not only for the male artists present;

Even her peers including Itakura Misaki were stunned for a moment.

"Oh my god, Miss Yoko is so cute when she's shy!!"

Itakura Misaki felt that at that moment, her nosebleed was already surging in her nasal cavity and could burst out at any time.

Okino Yoko covered her slightly hot cheeks.

Her azure eyes slowly turned towards the figure in the venue that she had noticed a long time ago but had deliberately ignored.

However, after seeing Koichi Nishihara talking to Sosuke Akikawa, Yoko Okino's slightly confused heart calmed down at the speed of light.

"Ms. Itakura, are Sora Akikawa and Mr. Nishihara familiar with each other?"

"Not really, but Akikawa-san said he wanted to thank Nishihara-san for his guidance during the audition, so I went over to talk to him."

"Guide?"

Okino Yoko's eyes with long eyelashes blinked slightly, and then she asked softly:

"Come to think of it, Akikawa-kun or Nishihara-san, who signed up for the audition for Sae Kotani first?"

"Of course we signed up first! If we knew we would be competing with Mr. Nishihara who debuted as a child star, there's no way we would have signed up!"

"Oh, that's right."

Okino Yoko said without any fluctuation in her voice.

When the same company is signing up for an audition for the same role, the company's internal system will show whether any artist from the same company has already signed up.

Although the company does not object to competition between artists.

But Yoko Okino knew very well that it was impossible for Koichi Nishihara to know Sosuke Akikawa.

The only reason he was willing to lower himself to play a minor supporting role here was because he was also here.

In addition, Koichi Nishihara deliberately signed up for a role that Sosuke Akikawa had already signed up for.

Even though Akikawa Sosuke is just a junior artist in the same company as Okino Yoko,

Koichi Nishihara's behavior was enough to make Yoko Okino feel disgusted.

Not to mention, Akikawa Sosuke's relationship with Okino Yoko is actually far more than an ordinary senior-junior relationship.

"Ms. Itakura, please try to limit Akikawa-kun's contact with Mr. Nishihara in the future."

"Nishihara, a child star who was once very popular in Japan, has lost popularity as he grew up, but it's not because his acting skills have deteriorated."

Yoko Okino stopped there and gave a hint in Itakura Misaki's ear.

Her words also made Itakura Misaki feel extremely surprised.

"The decline in popularity is not due to acting?"

"In other words, it's because of one's character?!"

Itakura Misaki is very clear about the rules of the Japanese entertainment industry.

She already knew it.

No matter how talented an artist is, if he is disliked by others, he will definitely have no development prospects.

Unexpectedly, such an evaluation was given to Koichi Nishihara.

"Wow! We can't let Mr. Akikawa and Mr. Nishihara continue to have contact!"

Itakura Misaki knows very well that her own artists are very good at making people angry.

If I offend Koichi Nishihara, my future work will probably be greatly hindered!
Just as Itakura Misaki hurriedly walked towards Akikawa Sosuke, she saw Akikawa Sosuke also walking towards her.

She leaned over to take a look at Nishihara Koichi, who was still smiling, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Fortunately, it seems that Mr. Akikawa did not do anything to offend Mr. Nishihara."
