It was night, six o'clock.

A short video appeared on the big screens of various buildings in the school city.

It was a review of the acting career of a former popular actress named "Mai Sakurajima".

From her first work when she debuted at the age of six to her last work before announcing her retirement.

The clips edited out of many works, with just the right BGM, successfully attracted the attention of people on the road.

"Mai Sakurajima?".

In the crowd, a pair of sisters who looked very similar stopped, and the younger sister with Bobo hairstyle looked up at the big screen and called out the name of the main character of the video.

"Who is that?" the sister wondered, "Do you know?"

“...... Sister, are you serious?".

The younger sister looked at her speechlessly.

I would have known Mai Sakurajima in the first place, wasn't it because you liked her so much, that you had a large collection of videotapes at home, and even you grew up watching her works almost with yourself?

"Hey☆~ It's rare to come out together, Xiaohui, don't be so serious. "

My sister stuck out her tongue and looked up at the big screen again: "But then again, it feels like Mai-chan has disappeared for a long time......

."

"After all, it's Mai Sakurajima who can announce her retirement at the peak of her popularity, and after her retirement, there will naturally be less exposure in all aspects, just like the Fujimine Yukiko back then. However, when this video was suddenly released, is she going to make a comeback?".

"That's great, I'll always love Mai Sakurajima-".

"Sister!",

It's the street!

The girl puffed out her face, looked left and right, and saw that most people's attention was still on the big screen playing Mai Sakurajima's short video, and she was busy pulling her sister, who was suddenly crazy, to hide in a nearby bookstore.

......

"It's ...... How?".

An apartment in an upscale neighborhood near Minebara High School.

on the balcony.

Mai Sakurajima, who also noticed that all the big screens in her field of vision were playing clips of her own works, opened her mouth slightly.

What stunned her was not the video itself, nor the mysterious store manager who was able to project her video on so many large screens, but the minutes after the video aired.

on the web platform.

Her social account, which had been silent for quite some time, sounded one message after another.

Click on the hot list.

Her name has also appeared in it.

All of this says one thing

She is not the only one who can see the short video on the big screen!

"Hey...... Mom?".

The phone rings, and when it is connected, a familiar voice is heard.

I heard the person on the other side call her by name, instead of treating her as a stranger as before.

Mai Sakurajima's voice couldn't help but choke.

"You...... Nothing, right?".

Hearing the difference in her daughter's tone, Sakurajima's mother hurriedly asked, "Are you in the apartment next to the school now?" It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a while, so I'll come and see you if it's convenient." "

"Don't worry, I'm fine. "

Mai Sakurajima answered the question first, and then said, "Mom, can you stop by the supermarket to buy some food when you come over?" I want to eat what you made......

"Okay, okay, I'll be right here. "

Becoming more and more sure that her daughter was afraid that something bad had happened, Sakurajima's mother quickly got up, quickly packed up the laptop and half-processed documents, and took them to the garage.

......

The other side.

"The effect is remarkable......".

Looking at the exponentially rising information about Mai Sakurajima on the Internet, Si Chen nodded with satisfaction.

The edited video can be observed by the outside world, and at first he naturally used the original currency to make a BUFF.

However, after the first group of viewers watched the video and recalled the existence of Mai Sakurajima.

EVEN IF HE REMOVES THE BUFF.

The speed at which the outside world remembered Mai Sakurajima did not slow down at all.

"Hey, do you feel it?".

The bell rang, and Si Chen, who connected the phone, took the initiative to ask.

"I don't feel anything, but people seem to really remember my existence. On the other end, Mai Sakurajima said gratefully, "I just finished talking to my mother on the phone. "

"Then congratulations. "

Si Chen congratulated, and then said, "But don't be busy with happiness yet." Through that edited video, others have already remembered that you are right, but that state of seclusion has not completely left you after all, so if you don't want to encounter a similar situation again...... Have you thought about making a comeback?".

"Comeback?".

Mai Sakurajima groaned slightly.

From announcing his retirement to the present, it has been more than two years since he left that circle.

This time was enough for her to calm down and think through her own affairs.

And it is.

Whatever the reason for starting out as an actor.

After staying in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, she may have unconsciously fallen in love with the daily routine of filming.

"Well, my mother will come to my place for dinner in a while, and I'll talk to her about it then. After thinking about it, Mai Sakurajima replied: "She has been my agent since my debut, and if I really want to make a comeback, I must discuss it with her first." "

More than two years ago, when it was decided to retire.

In her eyes, her mother is a little motherly, but not much, and she is more like an image of using her as a money-making tool than a daughter.

But in hindsight.

said that it is a money-making tool, but in fact, most of the money I earn through TV, movies, and advertisements has always been left on my card.

I didn't think I would treat myself as a daughter, but for nearly ten years.

In order not to be victimized by unscrupulous contracts, he has changed from a layman who understands about the law to a legal elite who can see whether there are loopholes in the terms at a glance after getting the contract

In order not to leave any psychological shadows, he will always screen the resources first, and give up anything that may cause the audience to have a bad association, but still let his acting career develop so smoothly in this situation ......where there are few routes to choose

from

Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard.

Hearing the familiar voice calling out her name in a familiar tone, Mai Sakurajima hurriedly said to Si Chen, then hung up the phone and rushed into her mother's arms.

"Alright, alright, it's okay......

".

Gently patting her daughter's back, Sakurajima's mother said softly.

Wait until Mai Sakurajima's mood has calmed down a bit,Sakurajima's mother let her go.,While changing into indoor shoes,,Asked as if unintentionally""Mai,On the way here just now,I noticed that your video seems to be playing everywhere in the school city?".

"Well, a friend helped. "

In my heart, I apologized to the store manager who was unilaterally called a friend, and Mai Sakurajima took the opportunity to say, "Mom, do you think I can start filming again now?"

"Why not?".

Sakurajima's mother touched her daughter's head: "With your popularity before you retired, once you make a comeback, I think there is a director who is willing to send you a script, not to mention that your friend also helped you warm up in the entire school city...... By the way, even if it's a friend, is it really okay to help you like this?".

What is the concept of playing a short video together on all public screens in the entire school park?

You know, this is a school city that occupies one-third of Tokyo and a considerable part of Saitama, Kanagawa, and Yamanashi prefectures, and has almost all of the kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, and universities in the island country.

Even the patriarch of the Shinomiya family, who has total assets of 200 trillion yen, has more than 1,000 subsidiaries and is known as one of the four major chaebols, is only one of the twelve directors of the School City General Council, which shows that the mysterious chairman and the secret behind the school city must be an existence that ordinary people like them can't imagine.

"It's okay, we've all discussed it. "

Thinking of the mysterious store manager and the unknown price she had to pay to return to normal, Mai Sakurajima also felt a little weak, but she still replied to her mother's question with certainty.

"That's it, that's ......

."

I could detect that my daughter's words were not very confident, and Sakurajima's mother was not busy getting to the bottom of it, but just reached out and hugged her daughter again: "I'll go to the bathroom, you can take these dishes to the kitchen first, they are all what you like to eat." "

"Okay. "

Nodding, Mai Sakurajima took the bag from her mother and turned to go into the kitchen.

Sakurajima's mother walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Half a minute later.

She looked at the bunny girl outfit in the laundry basket and fell into thought.
