In Conan, people have a brain option system

January 5th.

The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line is full of post-holiday fatigue.

Countless office workers wearing suits and carrying briefcases crowded around and took the subway to their companies with numb expressions.

Today is the second day after the New Year holiday in Japan.

But apart from the New Year promotion advertisements that have not yet been removed, there is no trace of the New Year’s lingering in the subway.

And among this group of social workers rushing to work during the morning rush hour,

There is a figure that looks a little out of place.

It was a man who looked a little thin.

At this time, he was holding the subway ring with one hand, browsing his mobile phone through the maroon bangs that almost covered his eyes.

Next to him, also wearing a suit, he has perfectly blended into the surrounding social animals.

The young woman with shoulder-length and medium-short hair and thick-rimmed glasses looked pale and was taking a big breath.

Before the New Year holiday, Akikawa Kyusuke and Itakura Misaki successfully received notification of passing the preliminary review.

So today, I went to the Imperial Theater in Chiyoda Ward for the final comprehensive audition.

After arriving at Ginza Station, Akikawa Kyusuke and Itakura Misaki got off the subway and walked toward Exit A9, which is near the Imperial Theater.

"Ms. Itakura seems very nervous. What's going on?"

Akikawa Kyousuke looked at Itakura Misaki's pale face and shortness of breath, and asked with concern.

"You don't even think about who did it!!"

Itakura Misaki glared at Akikawa Kousuke and said loudly.

Because they received the notification of passing the preliminary examination the day before the year-end vacation, and the official audition was the day after the year-end vacation.

So Akikawa Kyusuke and Itakura Misaki didn't have much time to prepare.

Originally, Itakura Misaki thought about asking Akikawa Kyusuke to rent a venue outside to practice auditions during the holidays, but Akikawa Kyusuke refused because he wanted to study novels and directors.

As a result, until today, Misaki Itakura has never even seen Kyusuke Akikawa acting.

"It's no problem, don't worry."

"You obviously didn't even know what a stage play was before you signed up. Mr. Akikawa, your words are completely unconvincing!"

Although Akikawa Kyusuke promised that he would study the character carefully during the vacation.

However, Misaki Itakura didn't believe Akikawa Kyusuke would practice without supervision.

When we arrived at the Empire Theater, there were already many artists waiting for auditions.

"There are actually...so many people!"

Misaki Itakura looked around and saw that there were at least 10 artists waiting here.

There is still half an hour before the audition starts.

Misaki Itakura estimates that more than 20 artists will participate in the audition in the end.

I thought that because the character was just a high school student, not many people would be interested.

As a result, Itakura Misaki found that she still underestimated Kudo Yusaku's energy.

"At least half of these 20 people were selected through two rounds of interviews, and the rest are signed artists from well-known artist companies... This is not an ordinary difficulty."

Misaki Itakura thought in her heart.

She found that all the artists looked sparkling and energetic before the audition.

Looking back at the artist next to me, who exudes a gloomy and lazy atmosphere, and can't even recognize the Chinese characters in the library.

Itakura Misaki felt anxious again.

"It's like taking the exam naked!"

Just when Misaki Itakura was panicking alone, she suddenly heard the surroundings starting to become noisy.

"Koichi Nishihara?! He actually came to participate in this audition?!"

"Really or not, isn't he filming a TV series? When did he come to act in a stage play?"

Itakura Misaki followed the gazes of the artists and managers present,

Then those dark eyes suddenly opened wide.

I know this artist Misaki Itakura. Like Kyusuke Akikawa, she is a signed artist of Wonderful.

Unlike other artists, Koichi Nishihara did not start his career as an idol.

Instead, he debuted as a child actor at the age of three and is still an actor today.

Although Koichi Nishihara is not as popular as Yoko Okino,

But basically when I appear, I can get roles such as the antagonist or the main supporting role.

So after Misaki Itakura saw that Koichi Nishihara actually signed up for an audition for what was at best a minor supporting role,

I felt very incredible in my heart.

"Obviously, it didn't show that other Wonderful artists had signed up when they signed up, so did Mr. Nishihara sign up after us?"

Itakura Misaki's heart, which had begun to cool down, now felt cold again.

Not to mention that Koichi Nishihara has the blessing of popularity, which gives him an advantage during auditions.

Even if we just talk about filming experience, there can't be an artist with more rich experience than Nishihara Koichi.

Many artists at the scene showed uneasy expressions because of the appearance of Koichi Nishihara.

"Hey, first time meeting, Akikawa-kun."

Akikawa Kyusuke, who was sitting there looking at his cell phone, suddenly heard someone saying hello to him.

He raised his head and saw a handsome-looking artist walking towards him.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"Akikawa-kun, you don't even know me. My name is Nishihara Koichi, and I belong to the same Wonderful family as you."

Nishihara Koichi smiled at Akikawa Kusuke.

"Oh, hello."

Akikawa Kyousuke's blue eyes stared quietly at Nishihara Koichi in front of him, and greeted him politely.

"When you smile, the corners of your eyes don't change. It's a fake smile."

"He came straight to me as soon as he arrived, which means it was not an accident. He already knew I was here."

"Then greeting me this time is just a polite greeting, or does it have another purpose?"

Through a brief conversation with Koichi Nishihara, Akikawa Kyousuke noticed something that felt inconsistent.

Although it was a bit baffling, Akikawa Kongsuke felt that the other party was coming for him.

"By the way, why did Akikawa-kun decide to sign up for this audition? Stage plays should be more difficult for newcomers, right?"

"I had the experience of joining the drama club when I was in school, so I wanted to give it a try."

"Hey, is that true? But I heard before that Akikawa-kun seems to have dropped out of elementary school."

Saihara Koichi asked with a confused look on his face.

"You actually know that I'm lying. It seems that they have specifically investigated my information and know that there is no chance that I will have the opportunity to participate in the club acting."

"Sure enough, you came specifically for me, but why?"

"There is definitely nothing in me that deserves this artist's tit-for-tat, and that's because of others."

"If someone in Wonderful has more energy and is more likely to be connected with me, it would make a veteran artist target me."

"Then it's just Okino Yoko."

Akikawa Kyousuke showed an expression that looked very embarrassing after someone exposed his lie.

He scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment:

"Actually, I thought that if I came here, I might have the opportunity to perform on the same stage as Ms. Yoko, so I signed up."

"I guess so."

Nishihara Hiroshi smiled, as if he already knew the truth.

"However, acting is not like being an idol, a job that you can easily do just by your appearance."

"Especially when performing on stage, you need to face the audience directly."

"In this way, a small mistake on your part may affect the quality of the entire work and bring shame to the work and your company."

"Huh?! Is it so exaggerated?"

Akikawa Kyusuke's eyes widened as he listened to Nishihara Hiroshi explaining to him.

He knew very well that a normal expression of surprise would not remain on his face for more than a second, so the expression was fleeting.

"This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact."

As Saihara Koichi said, he heard someone calling his name.

"But I am very optimistic about Akikawa-kun. If you have the courage to try, you are already much better than other artists. Come on!"

Koichi Nishihara reached out and patted Akikawa Kyusuke's shoulder, then walked towards the audition room.

"Are you jealous?"

Akikawa Kyusuke stared at Nishihara Koichi's back, thinking in his heart.

"Does Mr. Akikawa know Mr. Nishihara?"

At this time, the agent lady Itakura Misaki came over and showed a very curious expression.

"I don't know him, but Senior Nishihara told me a lot of things. He seems to be quite a nice person."

"He's a pretty good guy! He's obviously so famous and knows that we signed up for this audition, yet he still wants to sign up!"

"It's absolutely disgusting!"

Itakura Misaki said angrily.

"Miss Itakura seems very dissatisfied."

"Of course! If he competes with us, we will have no chance to perform on the same stage as Miss Yoko!"

"That's not necessarily true. I just heard someone say that he doesn't seem to have any experience in stage plays."

"Wow, sometimes I really envy Mr. Akikawa your optimistic attitude."

By this time, Itakura Misaki was too lazy to argue with Akikawa Kyusuke.

Even if Koichi Nishihara has little stage performance experience, he has far more experience in acting than Akikawa Kusuke.

What's more, Akikawa Kyousuke's gloomy temperament is really far from the popular image of a high school student.

In addition, Akikawa Kyousuke never went to high school at all.

No matter how you think about it, there is little hope!

Itakura Misaki has basically determined in her heart that Akikawa Kyusuke has no chance of playing the role this time.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be too embarrassing to leave directly, she really wouldn't want to stay here any longer.

After a while, Koichi Nishihara walked out with a smile on his face after finishing the audition.

He once again gave Akikawa Kyousuke some precautions during the audition, and tried his best to play the role of a senior artist who cares for the younger generations.

After finishing the instructions, Nishihara Koichi greeted Akikawa Kusuke and left.

After more than a dozen artists auditioned one after another, it was finally Akikawa Kongsuke's turn.

"Come on, Mr. Akikawa!"

Although Misaki Itakura had no hope in her heart, she still cheered hard for Akikawa Kyusuke.

After all, as long as you have this audition experience, subsequent auditions will become much smoother.

Akikawa Kūsuke nodded towards Misaki Itakura expressionlessly, and then walked towards the audition room.

"If you make a mistake during a performance, you might be humiliated, right?"

He repeated in his mind what Koichi Nishihara said to him just now, and then reached out and grabbed the door handle.

"Here in my place, if people see flaws in the performance, it will kill people."
