However, things were far from as simple as he thought.

After watching the two people filming for a while, suddenly, someone poked his shoulder from behind.

"Yusuke, you're here too."

"?"

And a master?

Yusuke turned around suddenly, and without any warning, as if falling from the sky, Shiina Mashiro was standing tall and graceful behind him!

It seems that God is very generous today and keeps sending heroines to him!

"Mashiro? Why are you here too?" Yusuke asked softly.

Mashiro tilted his head and thought for a few seconds.

"I'm lost."

"what???"

"I came to Yoyogi Park to play with everyone, and then got separated, and ended up here without even realizing it."

The girl was still holding the picture book she regarded as a treasure, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

I was so lucky. I got lost and met the person I know best. I was relieved at the moment when I was a little nervous.

And Yusuke also knew that with Mashiro's dull personality, it was normal for him to get lost.

But... Yoyogi Park is quite far away from this shrine.

Moreover, he had been staring at the road up the mountain just now, and he didn't see her coming up.

What is going on?Suddenly it feels a bit metaphysical.

"Mashiro, did you come from that way?" Yusuke pointed to the crew in the distance.

Shiina Mashiro shook her head.

"No, look, there is a path on the back mountain."

Ah, so it is.

Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief. The path was very hidden. If he didn't say anything, he would have thought that Mashiro was transported here by a supernatural phenomenon.

Then there was a way out. He was about to ask Mashiro to leave from the path, but she grabbed his sleeve.

"Is that Mai-senpai? I want to watch it for a while. Yusuke, don't you want to watch it?"

"Well..."

Yusuke thought quickly and agreed.

To be honest, he didn't want to see Mai, but the guy who looked exactly like Imamura Kohei.

"Okay, then let's be careful and don't get discovered by them."

"Ah."

Mashiro certainly understands why Yusuke doesn't want to be discovered.So behind the shrine, she stood very obediently behind him, hiding out of sight of the crew.

She opened the picture book and took out a pencil. Yusuke saw that she had drawn a sketch of the shrine. Judging from the angle, it did come from the back mountain road.

"What are they filming? I'm a little curious." She asked while scribbling on the paper.

"...There are no other actors in this crew except the two of them, and there are no fancy props or stunts. Both of them are wearing uniforms. It is obviously a campus romance drama. Mai likes to take on this kind of drama, and she is very good at it. "

"Oh..."

The two of them watched it for a long time and found that the same scene had been shot several times. Although they were far away and could not hear the lines, judging from their expressions and movements, it seemed that it was a scene where the male and female protagonists were quarreling.

"She doesn't look very happy," Mashiro said.

Yusuke frowned, it was true.

He knew a little bit about Mai Sakurajima's working conditions. She had been acting since she was a child. She was different on the set than usual. She was very well-behaved and generally made people feel like a spring breeze.

But that didn't seem to be the case today. After watching it for a long time, she didn't seem to smile not only during the filming, but even during the scenes.

"Hmph, I know the reason."

"What? Is it because it's too hot? I think the JK suit is very stuffy. Fortunately, I don't need to wear it anymore."

"No, that man's acting skills are too embarrassing. He probably came from a singing and dancing idol background and has no experience in this area. To be honest, I feel that even Gengping is better at acting than him."

Just as Yusuke was lamenting this era where little freshmen can go crazy and rise to the top, his cell phone rang.

"Iori?" He answered the phone in a low voice.

"Hey, Yusuke, the situation has changed. Listen, we finally figured out why the shrine has no staff. Today the venue was outsourced to a film crew and is actually not open to the public. We didn't see that when we went up the mountain Crazy small sign.”

"Oh..."

No wonder.

"Then let's retreat. I'll go down the mountain to find you. Chisa and the others seem to be playing in Yoyogi Park. We can go and meet them." Yusuke said.

"...Don't worry, guess what? We found out that this crew is not just a low-cost garbage crew. It is the hottest TV series "Return of Love" at the moment. The heroine is even the up-and-coming actress Mai Sakurajima. !”

Yusuke thought for a moment and said nothing.

Iori: "Yusuke, have you heard of Mai Sakurajima? I'm her biggest fan!"

Yusuke: "What? When did you become her fan? I've never heard of it!"

Iori: "Five minutes ago. I searched on Baidu and became a fan immediately. It's not unusual to say that this beautiful girl is a girl who comes once in 5 years! And not only is she beautiful, she is also a capable actor. There have been many high-scoring movies..."

Yusuke: "..."

this idiot...

Iori: "Also, although the main path up the mountain was blocked by the crew's props, we unexpectedly found a narrow path that can go around the back of the shrine. It was God's will! We can see Miss Mai's filming scene!"

Yusuke glanced back at the path.

"Are you going up?"

"Yes, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have close contact with an actress! Yusuke, find a place to hide and don't move around."

"...Oh, okay."

Yusuke hung up the phone.

Mashiro looked over with big doubtful eyes and spread his hands.

"It's a fun story to watch," he said. "To be honest, I have already guessed what will happen next."

"Oh..."

Hearing what he said, Mashiro's eyes lit up. She felt that she might have new creative material.

...

After a while, Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei walked up the path in a hurry.

"Yusuke, here's the water for you. Ah, Shiina-san is here too."

A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Yusuke pointed to the distance.

"Here, it's Mai you want to see."

After looking over, Iori made an excited sound.

"Oh oh oh! She's even more beautiful in person than in the photo!"

He patted Yusuke, then pointed at himself and said:

"Hey Yusuke, tell me, do I have a chance?"

"Um..."

Yusuke looked up and down, smiled and shook his head.

"If it's not a crime, there shouldn't be."

"why is it like this?!"

"Wait, that's not the point now."

Yusuke put his hands on the shoulders of his two gay friends, thinking in his mind that he must not meet Sakurajima Mai, otherwise there would be a river of blood in every sense.

"Have you seen that man? He looks exactly like Gengping. Hey, look, is he your long-lost brother?"

"Hmph, just kidding."

Gengping smiled contemptuously, put on a handsome pose, and looked into the distance.

"How can there be someone as handsome as me... Damn it, there really is!"

"It's Yuichi Ikekoshi from the idol boy group Sips." Iori Kitahara, who had been checking Sakurajima Mai for a long time, took out his mobile phone and opened an encyclopedia page, "This is his first time playing the male lead in a TV series. The series itself is very It's eye-catching and has a high level of success. But because this guy's acting skills are so bad, every episode is criticized by the audience. In a sense, it can be regarded as a hit."

"Ah, it turns out he's not a serious actor, but an idol... Humph."

Yusuke has no interest in the entertainment industry, but because he had been in contact with Mai back then, he has some understanding of the current situation in this industry.

In the neon country, idols are basically at the bottom of the contempt chain. Although some popular idol groups are very famous and even become household names, when broken down to individuals, unless they are super big names, their popularity is generally not good.

Moreover, being an idol is tiring and has a short career life. If you can have the opportunity to be the male lead in a popular TV series, you will have the opportunity to transform into an actor who acts in a personal capacity. It can be said to be an extremely precious opportunity.

Since there are too many idols, just being handsome is definitely not enough. Yusuke speculates that this Chi Yue is definitely the type who has family connections and brings money to join the group.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that he cannot transform.

Even if you have a background, it won't work if you don't have any strength at all.

It was during the intermission, and the unfortunate guy was wiping his sweat with a white towel.

This guy really doesn't have much status in the group, and you can hear the director scolding him mercilessly from a distance.

"Chi Yue! What are you doing! Can your expression not be as stiff as if you've eaten shit? Can you read your lines without a stick? Can you be more casual and not look like a bitch? Do you still remember your own personality? Go back Give me a good look at the script!"

Several people watched in silence as Chi Yue argued with the director. They seemed to have big differences and never started filming again.

During the whole process, Mai Sakurajima, who was wearing a JK suit with her slender legs exposed, completely ignored him. She just stood aside and played with her mobile phone while letting the makeup team help her touch up her makeup. She looked like a cold queen.

"So pitiful..." Mashiro sympathized while drawing this scene in a picture book.

Yusuke, on the other hand, had no expression on his face, quietly watching Mashiro paint.

This is the way this industry is, it can be considered a law of the jungle.

Suddenly, Iori exclaimed in a low voice:

"Hey, look, he's coming this way!"

The four looked at each other.

The guy probably wanted to find a shady place with no one to lick his wounds, and walked towards the back of the shrine as if he was running away.

"Hide quickly!"

Theoretically speaking, the four of them cannot be here now because the crew has booked the venue.

However, there is no place to hide behind the shrine, and the path can only pass one person at a time, which is very rough and difficult to walk.

Just when they lined up in a row and were about to go down, Chi Yueyong saw the four of them.

"Hey, are you paparazzi?"

An unpleasant voice sounded behind them.

Oops!

The four people's hearts suddenly thumped in unison, and they stopped in their tracks.

"No, not really."

Yusuke at the back turned his head.

"We're just tourists."

To his surprise, the man did not hesitate.

"Tch, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, my career is almost over anyway."

Chi Yueyong leaned against the brick wall of the ancient building, took out a cigarette from his uniform pocket, lit it with a windproof lighter, took a puff, and then coughed violently.

Well, the posture when smoking is wrong, and he is coughing violently, so he is obviously not a good smoker.
