Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1493 Chapter 1494. Listen carefully

"Won't you come back to Tokyo with me?"

Akina Nakamori who asked this question had a seductive light shining all over her body. The moment when a wife forgets that she is a wife is the most charming. Iwahashi Shinichi did not answer, but he was indeed tempted by her.

In the streets of Nagoya, Nakamori Akina's momentary joke in Tokyo, some subtle changes quietly occurred in this scene.

Iwahashi Shinichi returned to Tokyo alone with the tooth marks left by her. The attachment he felt at that time has turned into a confrontational emotion now. Nakamori Akina's whole body burst out with strong emotions because of her confrontation with the past.

The rain seemed about to start, and the air was moist and sticky. The two of them jumped into a taxi together and headed towards Tokyo late at night.

……

This Saturday night, Hamasaki Ayumi and Ayako went to Matsuura Katsuto’s disco again. Bad things become familiar and become a habit.

Ayako was looking forward to meeting Matsuura Katsuto.

Although this disco operator has a bad appearance, he is funny and sociable. Whenever he goes to his box, there are a bunch of people around him.

Matsuura Katsuto has the arrogance of a superior in front of the girl. However, to the girl, the superior is kind and polite to her, which is inferior to his willingness to pay attention and patience to a girl despite being arrogant.

Most of the time, what a girl looks forward to is the feeling of being treated as a different person.

Because of this, Ayako admires Matsuura Katsuto even more. With her spontaneously siding with Matsuura Katsuto, going to the disco seemed to be a natural thing.

Ayako admires Katsuto Matsuura, but in Ayumi Hamasaki's heart, she only feels pitiful for Katsuto Matsuura's bravado. However, seeing this incident made Hamasaki feel sympathetic.

Ayumi Hamasaki could not mention such a delicate state of mind to anyone.

Iwahashi Shinichi no longer mentioned letting her sing, but Matsuura Katsuto never gave up again and again. This disco operator, like Shinichi Iwahashi at that time, had expectations for Hamasaki as a singer.

The second time you are invited, you will always be more calm than the first time... Hamasaki Ayumi originally thought so, but soon discovered that this was not the case. Matsuura Katsuto and Iwahashi Shinichi sent a completely different invitation.

Iwahashi Shinichi, who seems kind and polite and never shows his arrogance in front of others, is the kind of superior person who will not impress Ayako. However, it was with Matsuura Katsuto as a comparison that Hamasaki realized how different Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her.

However, the president Sang no longer talked about letting her sing.

Tonight was just like the first time I met Matsuura Katsuto. The box was filled with young and fashionable men and women, and everyone was chatting and laughing. As a fledgling girl, just by being in it, she already feels a bit excited about entering a new world.

Of course, it's often mixed with unease.

"I said, Ayu really doesn't plan to be a singer?" Matsuura Katsuto asked her in front of everyone. The slightly frivolous tone was to evaluate her as a commodity.

Hamasaki remained silent, subconsciously avoiding the subject of "singing."

Ayako was a little anxious and helped out: "Maybe Ayu can become a singer produced by Komuro-san! If MAX-san is the case, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to introduce Komuro-san to her?!"

If that were the case, Ayako would also be able to meet Tetsuya Komuro.

The young girl had a wishful thinking and didn't know that she said the wrong thing. The smile on Matsuura Katsuto's face grew wider, and he said, "I thought I could make some music for Ayu-chan that wasn't in the Komuro style."

The box fell into silence for a moment because of these words, and then the crowd surrounding Matsuura Katsuto began to liven up the atmosphere. Ayako, unaware and with innocent stupidity, also moved closer to cheer. With Ayako interrupting like this, Matsuura Katsuto's proposal and Hamasaki Ayumi's avoidance fell into place once again.

However, Katsuto Matsuura's rejection when Ayako mentioned Tetsuya Komuro surprised Ayumi Hamasaki. Tetsuya Komuro and Katsuto Matsuura are both working with Shinichi Iwahashi, but is the relationship between the two so tense?

Before the evening train, the two girls said goodbye to Matsuura Masaru and his supporters.

After leaving the disco and heading to the station, Ayako suddenly complained to Hamasaki: "MAX-san's words shocked me! I didn't expect that he also wanted to be a producer."

Ayako was unaware of Matsuura Katsuto's subtle attitude toward Komuro Tetsuya.

"MAX-san's disco is very popular... but he will be the producer?" Ayako was a little doubtful about this. She asked Hamasaki, "What do you think, Ayu-chan?"

Hamasaki listened to Ayako's chirping, but felt tired and unable to respond to her.

When he went to a disco, he was given an abrupt invitation by Katsuto Matsuura, and he also got a glimpse of this man's subtle attitude towards Tetsuya Komuro. This series of events caught Hamasaki off guard and deviated from his original "rebellious" idea.

As we were about to arrive at the station, it suddenly started to rain. The two girls were soaked wet and started to run quickly. All the events of the night and their inner struggles were temporarily left behind.

When he got home, Hamasaki was a little embarrassed. As soon as he entered the door, the puppy Kenta heard the commotion and barked several times and ran over. Ayumi Hamasaki lowered his voice and called: "Kenta!" Finally, he calmed the puppy immediately.

Utada Hikaru slept peacefully and was not woken up.

The puppy flicked its short tail, ran away from her, and returned to the nest. After comforting the puppy, Hamasaki breathed a sigh of relief, went upstairs and walked into the bathroom. This night rain came suddenly and went away quickly, like a passing rain cloud. It had almost stopped falling when we came out of the station.

After taking a shower, Hamasaki stood in front of the window and listened, but did not hear the sound of rain.

……

Perhaps it was because running fast to avoid the rain made his nerves excited, but Hamasaki couldn't fall asleep no matter what. When I was tossing and turning, I felt the silence around me was terrifying.

It's okay if it rains, at least you can hear the sound of rain. The rain stopped, and the silence became unbearable late at night, as if it was being chased by this silence.

Ayumi Hamasaki was thinking wildly when suddenly, as if his thoughts came true, he heard a slight noise outside.

Her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

The sound was outside at first, far away. Slowly, he moved closer to the house. If he wasn't nervous, Ayumi Hamasaki would not notice such a subtle sound.

In fact, maybe this is just an illusion caused by mental stress.

Iwahashi-san has been away from home for several days on business, and Akina-san is not at home today either...

Kenta the puppy started barking, but the barking soon stopped.

Hamasaki tiptoed and sat up from the bed. Just now, her nerves were so tense that she seemed to hear the sound of spiders spinning their webs, but now, those sounds were far away from her, as if everything she just heard was really her imagination.

She stood up and walked to the door, opened the bedroom door gently, and stepped out.
