I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

260 – The Queen of Drama

This is what I heard when I entered the waiting room.

“There is something I want to tell you before the broadcast starts in earnest, so I asked you to bring the senior to the waiting room.”

As she said that, Nao gave a cute wink and thanked the station staff who guided her the way, putting her hands together.

Then the station staff waved their hands with a big smile.

“No! No! It’s Minato-san’s request, and of course you have to do it! If you need anything later, please call me!”

“Yes~ Good job~”

So the station staff left the room, leaving only Nao, her stylist, and me in the waiting room.

“Should I leave too?”

“No, it’s fine, please continue.”

My sister, the stylist, carefully asked Nao if she had noticed anything, but when she said she was fine, she started to curl her hair with a puzzled expression.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

“Yes.”

I followed Nao’s advice and sat down on the chair across from her.

Then, I asked what I was curious about first.

“Has your breath been involved in the appearance of this broadcast?”

Then, Nao smiled and asked.

“Why do you think so?”

“No, that… you have a good reason for that. And there’s no way a minor role that only appeared briefly in a drama would normally be called on a special show like this.”

In the presence of a third party, Nao couldn’t tell me what she had confessed to me, so when she evaded her words, Nao chuckled and waved her hand.

“It’s not like that, so you don’t have to worry. You seem to be a really old person. You don’t watch YouTube, do you?”

“YouTube? I watch it sometimes, but why?”

“The #1 most recently uploaded video is a senior.”

“What?”

I wondered what this meant, so I hurriedly took out my smartphone and entered YouTube.

Most of the things I usually watch are recommended videos popped up by YouTube’s algorithm, so I wasn’t interested in videos that are rapidly gaining popularity.

However, the person in the thumbnail, which is the number 1 video on the rise in popularity, is the same as me dressed up, both from the left and from the right.

「※ Great discovery! The Blue Boy is actually the same person as Kotaro Fuma’s apprentice?!」

“…Is it true?”

As I muttered that with a bewildered expression, Nao said, blinking her eyelashes as if she had just finished her make-up.

“Senior doesn’t seem to know, but that’s why it’s a complete mess. Even at the time it aired, there was a lot of talk about who this minor actor was.”

According to her explanation, a well-known information YouTuber recently came out and found out that the minor actors who appeared in the drama were the same person, so the drama that ended in the second quarter seems to have greatly increased attention.

‘For some reason, people say that the frequency of whispering to me has increased recently.’

I never thought that there would be circumstances like this behind it.

“Anyways, did this clear up the misunderstanding?”

“Yes.”

As soon as I readily admitted it, Nao laughed happily and said, “Hooheung”, Getting up from her seat.

“Then can I ask you a favor?”

“So suddenly?”

“It’s a request from a cute junior, but you’re not going to listen, right?”

Nao suddenly makes a burdensome eye attack.

I tried to avoid her gaze and asked.

“What kind of favor are you asking?”

“It’s not too difficult, just meet someone.”

“Who?”

Smart!

At that time, someone knocked on the door of the waiting room.

“Actually, I already called before the senior came.”

I suddenly felt ominous.

“Who is that?”

Knock!

The door to the waiting room opens as if waiting.

Nao, who met eyes with the person who had just entered, replied with a refreshing smile in front of me.

“This is my mother.”

***

I froze when I saw Nao’s mother who suddenly opened the door and entered.

That’s also true, because the middle-aged actress standing in front of me was someone I knew well, even though I was unfamiliar with Japanese dramas and movies.

Minato Yoko.

A middle-aged actor celebrating his 30th anniversary this year. He debuted as a CF model when he was 21 years old. After that, he worked as a full-time actor and gradually increased his filmography. At the age of 24, the movie he starred in for the first time hit the jackpot and instantly rose to stardom. Go up

Contrary to her pretty appearance, she showed off her acting skills as if she were possessed and became a youthful star in the 1990s. He was a well-known actor.

In particular, Ms. Lee Mi-ja loves dramas so much that she always turns on the TV while she is running a restaurant, and she is a familiar face that you see every time.

“Uh, hello.”

When I awkwardly greeted her, she said with a smile.

“Oh, nice to meet you. How about you?”

“Ah, Nao’s senior at school.”

“A senior at school?”

At that time, Nao, who was watching the situation, intervened in her amazing timing and explained it.

“Before, a senior appeared in a small role in a drama at my request. That became a hot topic, so I was invited as a guest to the year-end special broadcast this time.”

“Ah…”

Nao’s mother looked at me up and down once more with an expression of understanding.

I felt a little strange because the gaze seemed to be evaluating something.

“I know they’re close seniors and juniors, but shouldn’t actresses be careful? If the story goes out that school seniors have been in and out of your waiting room for no reason, it will damage your image.”

“Ah~ this much is fine. We met because we appeared on the same broadcast today, so I can’t believe people will misunderstand something like this?”

“He doesn’t know what to do. The truth is not important to pseudo-media. They are just trying to make money by extracting articles with provocative titles and contents.”

Saying that, Nao’s mother put her hand on her waist and looked at me with her admonishing expression.

“If she understands what I mean, I hope she leaves. Does she even notice that much?”

“Oh, yes.”

It was an obvious celebration, so I laughed awkwardly and tried to leave, but Nao suddenly grabbed my forearm.

“Why do seniors go out? Just stay still!”

“Write! Come out! Aren’t you going to listen to your mother?”

I couldn’t do anything because I was caught between a mother and a daughter who suddenly started fighting.

‘No, what are you saying to me?’

I feel like a krill caught in a whale fight all of a sudden.

The stylist sister, who had been helping Nao with her makeup just a while ago, looked at her and secretly left the waiting room, so she had no one around to help me.

So I had no choice but to wander around looking for a place to put my eyes, but suddenly Nao hugged my forearm and came to my senses.

“Come on! What are you doing!”

It seems that Nao’s mother was also surprised by her daughter’s unexpected behavior.

“Actually, I had something to say to my mother today, so I invited her to my waiting room.”

As I said that, Nao glanced at me and suddenly detonated an unexpected nuclear bomb.

“I like this person.”

***

“…….”

Maybe it was because of such a shocking remark.

An uncomfortable silence fell in the waiting room for an instant.

But the person in question didn’t think to let go of me as he held onto my arm tightly.

I noticed the two of them, and I hurriedly opened my mouth to rectify the situation.

“Um… Mother? Misunderstanding.”

Then Nao’s mother frowned and said.

“Who is your mother!”

Perfect vocalization as if it had just jumped out of a morning drama.

If it weren’t for this situation, I would have wanted to get an autograph for Mrs. Lee Mi-ja at home, but I couldn’t laugh because I was the target of that sharp voice.

And Nao, who brought the situation to this point, said that he had no intention of letting go of my arm, now almost clinging to him like a cicada.

“How long are you going to treat me like a child? I’m grown enough now! I’m not the old me who was dragged here and there like my mother said!”

“Is this kid for real?!”

Nao’s mother wields her hand knife after all, as if her anger has soared to the tip of her head.

Tight!

I, who was in front of me, hurriedly blocked his hand.

“Calm down, mother.”

“Don’t let this go?!”

“I won’t let you go until you calm down.”

aaah!

She tried to pull her wrist out somehow, but when I tightened her grip, she realized that she didn’t even move, so she looked puzzled.

“Gee, calm down! Now that I’ve calmed down, let go of your arms!”

I finally let go of her wrist.

Then, Nao’s mother hurriedly backed away, grabbing her red, swollen wrist.

Looks like you’ve calmed down a bit now.

I said, hitting Nao’s head, who had brought the situation to this point.

“And I think you misunderstood something, but I’m not with anyone who came out with me. The confession I made before was also full, and I already have a girlfriend.”

Then it was Nao who was surprised this time.

“Yeah?! You got a girlfriend?!”

“What? How dare you kick my daughter? What’s wrong with my daughter!”

I don’t think it’s mother and daughter, even their surprised looks are similar.

I hoped that someone would solve this unanswerable situation, and vaguely regretted it.

‘I should have turned down the request to appear.’

What is that bastard’s 100,000 yen?
