If you get lost on the love map

Chapter 21 The Oppressed People Occasionally Have Unexpected Gains
"Acting skills are not bad, it's a pity not to be an entertainer." Seeing Naizukahiko's actions, the store manager glared at him, let go of his arm, and looked at the clock in the store, "Tell me, why did you get it so late? come over?"

"There's something going on at the school..." Nazukahiko just shook his head, "And the problem of the underworld hasn't been solved yet."

"The problem of the underworld hasn't been solved yet?" The store manager was stunned for a moment, then became serious, "You are being targeted by them? This is not a trivial matter... Private Lixin is not responsible for solving this matter?"

"School..." Nazukahiko said bitterly, "The school only promised to provide me with limited help, and I have to deal with it myself."

How can I tell the store manager clearly... I can't say that he broke the truth. In fact, the hair color of the lady of Saiyuan Temple is silver-white?
"Ah? A private school like Lixin wouldn't care about this kind of thing?" The store manager was obviously a little shocked, but after a while, he was obviously calmer, as if thinking of something, "By the way, I remember Naizuka you said , are you going to move into the school's dormitory later?"

"Well, it's in Shinjuku, but it's been idle for too long before, so I couldn't live in." Naizuka Yan shook his head helplessly.

"That makes sense... Maybe the private Lixin is stepping up to organize the dormitory and is preparing to let you move in early, so the underworld affairs here will be ignored." The manager stroked the short stubble under his jaw and put on a picture Thinking that obviously doesn't match his image, "Did they say the dormitory is about to be ready?"

"It's not."

"Then I don't know, you can take care of yourself." The store manager smiled, obviously gloating.

"Senior, why do I think you'd be happy to see me unlucky?" Naizukahiko looked at the store manager and really wanted to seal his mouth with a roll of tape.

"How could it be..." The store manager waved his hands again and again.

They were about to say something when they heard the phone ring in the store.

"Naizuka, why don't you... finish this before leaving?" The store manager rubbed his hands and asked tentatively.

"Okay, senior, but it's just this little thing, I'm not on night shift today." Guessing that the rest of the things could be finished in 5 minutes, Nazukahiko didn't refuse.

"Ha, live up to the favor I helped you before." The store manager laughed, ran a few steps back to the silver counter, and answered the phone.

Nazukahiko raised his hand and continued to sort out the things on the shelf. Occasionally, the store manager's voice came from the cashier counter.

"What, you can't leave now, it's better to have someone bring it over?"

"I know you are near Norasaka, but our store doesn't deliver takeaway..."

"You're going to pay extra for delivery? No, we can't do that."

"You also know that we don't have enough manpower here. If you send it over..."

"Well, wait a moment, I have an employee here who is on leave. I will ask him if he is willing to help deliver the things."

As soon as the voice fell, Naizukahiko heard the hurried footsteps of the store manager again.

When he turned his head to look at the approaching store manager, he saw the tall and burly 30-year-old man with a frightening fake smile on his face.

No matter how I look at it, I feel that this senior is like a wolf who has found its prey, thinking about how to start.

"Senior, you're laughing like this, I'm a little... I'm not used to it." Seeing that the store manager was about to get in front of him, Naizukahiko hurriedly stopped, "I have something to do, if I'm comfortable, just say it directly. ."

"It's the person who made the short film before, Naizuka, do you remember?" The store manager's face froze, he squeezed his face angrily, and put his expression back to his normal expression, "He can't walk away, and there are many people who haven't eaten dinner. , so I want us to send things over here."

"Convenience store... Are you in charge of take-out?" Nazuhiko looked at the store manager suspiciously, "Never before, right?"

"It's not because the number of orders is large, and it is considered a big customer of the convenience store." The store manager sighed, "The performance is better, and my salary may be able to increase a little."

But senior, you are squeezing my free labor like this...

Is this appropriate?

This is inappropriate!
Nazukahiko let out a silent cry in his heart.

Maybe he noticed Naizukahiko's expression, or maybe he guessed Naizukahiko's inner thoughts, the store manager just hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and patted Naizukahiko's shoulder again, "Don't worry, Naizuka, I won't let you do it in vain. As long as you help me deliver the things this time, you will be considered half-time today."

"Ah?" Naizukahiko really didn't expect this, "Half-time work? So many?"

It costs [-] yen to deliver a takeaway, so the money is too good to make, right?

Even if he came over to sort out the goods today, and he had to deliver takeaways later, that wouldn't be enough for half-time work, would he?
Could it be that this senior looks at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, but is actually... very good at scouring wool?

"Don't worry, there are two other copies." The manager quickly figured out what Naizuka was thinking, and added, "There are not many things, so you can help me give them away too, right?"

"No problem, senior." Naizuka Yan readily agreed, "Where's the address?"

"One is from Miss Shimizu, and the other is in the neighborhood." The store manager showed a suspicious smile. "There are still customers in the store. I'll give you a list now, and you can prepare it yourself."

Although he was full of doubts about the last smile of the store manager, for the sake of [-] yen, Naizukahiko agreed without much hesitation.

After taking the list and finding out the contents of the four big bags, Naizukahiko sighed that money is not so easy to make, and carrying four large bags is definitely not as easy as he imagined, while saying goodbye to the store manager and leaving.

……

The shooting location is not far from Norazaka, which is a scene that needs to borrow Norazaka and avoid too many wild cats.

Therefore, Nazukahiko walked around Norazaka for a while before finally discovering the so-called filming location for the short film.

Many men and women are standing on the side of the venue, dressed casually, looking very busy.

There was also a decent-looking man, Naizukahiko also looked familiar and dressed quite formally. He was standing a little farther away from the crowd, making a phone call.

Is it the person in charge of managing them?Dressed quite formally...

Confused in his heart, Nazuhiko approached the past.

"Okay, yes, I understand. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." The middle-aged man assured the phone and waited carefully until there was no response from the other side before hanging up and letting out a long breath.

"Sir?" Seeing that the other party was empty, Naizuka Yan naturally moved up.

"Ah..." Just after the call, the man who was clearly relaxed was startled, "Hu... I was shocked, I thought it was those guys again..."

After muttering, he looked at his phone and replied casually, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's it, I'm an employee of a nearby convenience store, and someone just asked the convenience store for delivery to the filming location near Norasaka...Is it this place?"

"Oh, yes yes." The man then reacted and put down his phone, "I'm sorry, I was just reading the news, I didn't note..."

Halfway through the man's words, he froze in place.

"Sir." Nazuhiko looked at him strangely, "Is there a problem?"

"No." The man shook his head quickly.

"Look, there are three bags here, all of which you ordered." Nazuhiko took three bags from his hand and handed them to the other party, "Check it out."

Nazukahiko stretched out his hand, and the other party took it.

He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Naizukahiko realized that the other party was holding his hand tightly.

Looking up, the other party's face was excited, and it didn't look like it was malicious.

what's the situation?
However, before Naizukahiko could speak, the man came up by himself.

"Little brother, let me ask you something, how much do you get paid for a day's work in a convenience store?"

"Ah?" Nazuhiko was a little surprised, and the look in his eyes became even more strange.

"Just ask, just ask, little brother, don't care about my abruptness." The man shook the remaining left hand repeatedly, indicating that he had no malice.

"One thousand yen per hour, from 1:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m., [-] yen." Considering that if he didn't answer clearly, the other party might continue to pester him, Nazukahiko said it outright.

"Twelve thousand yen..." the man muttered, his face gradually turning red, as if he had thought of something.

"Sir, I have something to do..." Nazukahiko was about to pull out his hand and leave quickly.

"Little brother, are you willing to be the protagonist of the short film!" The man quickly grabbed his arm, his face flushed, and even his voice changed.

Nazuhiko looked at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

It's too sudden... and invite him to be the protagonist of the short film?
Even if he knows that this is the shooting location, there should be no strange short films, but who knows what the content of the short films is?
His name Tsukahiko is also a person who wants to save face, to shoot some strange short films, it is still thanks to the insensitivity.

Seemingly realizing that his behavior was a little abrupt, the man coughed, stood up straight, and bowed lightly, "Sorry, I was a little excited just now, and it bothered you little brother."

Without waiting for Naizukahiko to speak, he continued, "That's it, we originally planned to shoot a short film about love next week, but we couldn't find a suitable high school student protagonist..."

Is it because of this?But didn't even the heroine Mitsuha Mitsuha in "Your Name" say that she wants to become a handsome guy in Tokyo?

If you look at it this way, there shouldn't be too many handsome guys in Tokyo. Where is the lack of him?
And seriously, he should be a handsome guy from Kansai.

However, Nazukahiko's thoughts kept running in his mind, and he didn't say a word.

The man saw that he had no intention of speaking at all, and showed a somewhat distressed expression, "It's true that there are no handsome college students, but generally they have a more introverted temperament, and some are even a little gloomy, which is really not suitable for photogenic. It still looks bad."

"The budget for our short film shooting is not high, and we really can't afford big-name artists, so when I see you, I really don't want to miss it." The man said, and sighed, "You are so handsome and have a good temperament. Sunshine, I wonder if any scouts have looked for you before?"

Before Nazukahiko said a word, the man had already said a bunch of words.

Want to find me if the budget is not high... Then if I really accept it, is it a part-time job?Or volunteer work?
"Sorry, no one has ever approached me. I'm an exchange student from Kansai." Nazuhiko just shook his head, "And I have something to do these days, so I'm afraid I can't agree to your invitation."

He was really in a hurry to get out, but the guy in front of him was sticking like a candy bar and couldn't get rid of it, which was really annoying.

"Don't worry, little brother." The man didn't mean to be discouraged at all, he patted his chest and put on a look of indifference, "The short film won't start shooting until the end of March, you still have a lot of time to think about it... ...The whole short film only takes one or two minutes to shoot, and there is... a 2 yen reward!"

At that moment, Nazukahiko saw the heartache flashing in the other's eyes.

"[-] yen?" Nazukahiko looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that the other party proposed the price on a temporary basis.

"Yeah, the original budget was [-] yuan. If you are willing to come, brother, I will supply the rest myself." The night shift salary, how can it be considered okay?”

"I'll think about it." Nazukahiko was silent for a moment, but he still didn't agree.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you don't refuse on the spot, you can continue to discuss." The man smiled, quickly took out his business card from his clothes, and handed it to Naizuka Yan, "Is there anything you want to ask, or to the protagonist of the short film? If you have an idea, you can come to me Ishihara Takahiro!"

Looking at the four Chinese characters Ishihara Takakura written on the business card, and the position of the manager of the seiyuu agency below, Nazuhiko was silent for a while.

Although it feels a little bit like stepping through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, it doesn't take much effort, but Ishihara Takahiro...

After all, this guy is the manager of a seiyuu agency, but he lives in a place like Norazaka and is devoted to making love short films.

Can he be free to this extent... Could it be that the seiyuu he is in charge of has no job, and there is nothing to deal with in the office?

Or is it that this Ishihara Takahiro is very ambitious, and has long been prepared not to be a seiyuu agent, ready to establish his own business, and jump out of the seiyuu office to become independent?

Looking at the business card in front of him, Naizukahiko was full of doubts, but he could think of Izumi Yuyue's dream of becoming a seiyuu. After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask a few more questions, "Mr. Ishihara, seeing your business card, I do There's something I want to ask."

"Brother, say it."

"Mr. Ishihara's business card says the agent of a seiyuu agency, but why is he in..." Naizuka pointed to the shooting venue in front of him, "Part-time shooting...short films?"

"The firm's funds are not enough, and now there are very few new recruits, and I have no chance to take charge of older voice actors." Ishihara Tsokuan smiled bitterly, "The firm has no money to recruit new people, I should be responsible for this. The agent of the newcomer naturally has no income... If you don't find something to do yourself, what else can you do?"

Well, I really blame him in the wrong way. It's really not the fault of Takahiro Ishihara in front of me when I came out to shoot a love short film.

Nazuhiko sighed for a while.
