My Tokyo Celebrity Girlfriend Is Love-Struck, What Should I Do? - Chapter 35

Added Some Sweetness, Didn’t It?!

“Action!”

“Prepare the reflector!”

“Camera ready!”

“Kimura-senpai, you can start.”

“Begin!”

“…”

On a wide road within the campus.

Asuka, carrying a backpack, walked side by side with Kimura, who had a double-shoulder backpack.

The gray clothes on Kimura clashed with the girl’s red top.

“To avoid being recognized as a fake couple, let’s get to know each other first.”

Asuka turned her head towards Kimura, reaching into her canvas bag around her waist, pulling out her notebook.

The bright sunlight fell on the girl, giving her an exceptionally warm and cheerful appearance.

In contrast, Kimura’s hands hung awkwardly at his sides, and his slowed pace left him trailing behind Asuka by half a body length.

The restrained gray and the lively red created a strange yet harmonious scene, playing out in front of the camera.

“Your birthday?” Asuka held the notebook in one hand and a pen in the other.

“February 25th.”

“…”

At the elevated tram station.

“Blood type?”

“AB.”

“Ah~ quite similar.” Asuka looked up, a mysterious smile playing on her face.

“Huh?” Kimura was puzzled, “What do you mean, similar? How about you?”

“AB too.”

“Ah, I see, quite similar.”

“…”

In the campus shade.

“Who do you admire the most?”

“Nishikawa Fumino.”

Asuka curiously raised her head, “Sorry, who’s that?”

“An obscure literary author.”

“I see.” Asuka nodded in realization, diligently noting it down in her notebook.

“Do you have to write that down too?”

“Of course!”

“…”

On the tram seats, the two faced each other.

“Special talent?”

“If I have to say, it’s cooking.”

“Wow, impressive.”

“I do almost all the housework… I live with my dad.”

Asuka’s pen didn’t stop, continuously recording, “I’d like to try your cooking if I get the chance.”

“…”

On the stairs outside the station.

Asuka, walking on the lower steps, suddenly turned around and looked at the young man on the higher steps.

“Where should we go next time for fun?”

“You mean… a date?”

“Yes, we can consider ourselves a couple.”

“Indeed…”

“How about next Sunday?”

“Sure, thank you.” The girl bent slightly, then as if recalling something, added, “But can we start in the afternoon?”

“Sure, do you have something in the morning?”

“It seems you don’t understand… girls need to do a lot of preparation in the morning.” Asuka’s pen waved in front of her.

Kimura flashed a fleeting smile on his face.

……

“Cut!”

With a loud shout, the crowd around the two suddenly dispersed.

“Thanks, everyone!” Kimura thanked the members around him.

Today’s filming task should be the busiest day of the month, not only shooting scenes with Kamiya Toru and Hino Maori.

But also constantly changing locations for shooting…

Fortunately, it’s winter now, not summer. Otherwise, with such back-and-forth, it would probably take more effort to complete the shooting.

However…

The morning shoot was just some monotonous scenes.

And in the afternoon, the most critical part of the work would be filmed: the first park date of Kamiya and Hino.

At that time, Asuka, Kimura, and Amemiya would also be in the scene.

Who knows what the afternoon will turn out to be…

Kimura felt a bit overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Although today’s work was mostly handled by the props and photography teams, Yoshida Ikumi, a faithful fan of Asuka and the head of the editing team, also joined everyone in leaving the campus for the shoot.

Of course, for Yoshida Ikumi, nothing was more exciting than shipping Kimura-senpai and Asuka-senpai.

She stood beside Koike Koichi’s camera, watching the playback of the morning shoot.

The eyes behind her glasses seemed eager to stick directly to the screen.

“Eh? Why is Yoshida-kouhai still here?”

Kimura, preparing to check the footage just shot, looked at Yoshida Ikumi standing next to Koike Koichi and was momentarily stunned.

“Ah! Kimura-senpai… I came to watch Asuka-senpai…” Yoshida Ikumi replied.

“I see…”

He almost forgot, the original five members of the crew were all Asuka’s top fans.

Kimura nodded and waved to Koike Koichi, saying, “Koike-kouhai, let me take a look at the morning shoot… if it’s okay, start packing up for the afternoon shoot.”

“Sure.”

Koike Koichi ran towards Kimura with the camera in his arms.

“Kimura-senpai!” Yoshida Ikumi, standing on the side, suddenly called out.

“Hmm?”

Yoshida Ikumi took off the backpack from her back and waved it in her hand.

“I brought my laptop. Can you share the video with me so I can edit it?” Yoshida asked.

“Eh?” Kimura frowned. “You want to edit it outside? Well, that doesn’t seem right.”

A sense of unscrupulous exploitation of underclassmen’s labor by a mysterious black-hearted director surged within him.

“Kimura-senpai, please, let me edit Asuka-senpai’s video,” Yoshida pleaded.

“…Okay.”

Looking at Yoshida’s expression, which seemed to say, “If you don’t let me edit, I’d rather die,” Kimura reluctantly agreed.

“Then, please, Yoshida-kouhai, handle the selection and initial editing of today’s footage.”

“Yes!”

Hayata Kimura scratched his head and walked away with Koike Koichi.

He didn’t understand…

Perhaps this is the belief of fans in their idols.

……

Kiyomi Park.

Watching the atmosphere-filled scene in the lens where beams of light shone down.

“If you don’t write today’s events in your diary… tomorrow you won’t know, right?”

“That’s right.”

“In that case… don’t write it in your diary, whether you accidentally fall asleep or say you have amnesia.”

“Do you mind?”

Kimura crouched down, looking up at the girl in front of him.

“I’m happy to play with you… and no one wants to open their diary and see a series of failures, so let’s pretend today never happened and deceive tomorrow’s you together.”

All the crew members were immersed in the gentle lines of Kamiya Toru in the lens.

That scene…

It seemed as if a real couple was appearing on the screen.

Even though this shot had been taken more than once, it still captivated the members of the crew.

“…Smooth talker.”

Somehow, sitting not far away and observing the filming scene, Amemiya Nao muttered under her breath.

In her arms, she held the pink hot water bag that Asuka handed her before the shoot.

Amemiya kneaded the ugly-cute cat pattern on the hot water bag with her hands.

Asuka-chan has completely fallen for this guy…

“Too alike.”

Suddenly, a subtle voice reached Amemiya’s ears.

Amemiya instinctively looked up. “Alike what?”

Startled by the sudden conversation, Yoshida jumped a bit. However, upon seeing it was Amemiya, her face immediately showed an excited expression.

“Ah! Amemiya-san… I was talking about Kimura-senpai and Asuka-senpai. In front of the camera, they look like a real couple.”

“That’s just acting,” Amemiya retorted.

“No, it’s a feeling.”

Yoshida pushed her glasses up her nose and, making sure no one was paying attention to them, reached for her computer, opened a video, and handed it to Amemiya.

“Amemiya-san… take a look at this! I secretly spent a long time editing it… But please, don’t let Kimura-senpai and Asuka-senpai find out.”

At those words,Amemiya furrowed her brows, a sense of curiosity rising within her.

She took the computer and placed it on her lap.

Yoshida handed her a pair of headphones.

Amemiya clicked to play the video.

The video started, and beautiful music filled her ears through the headphones.

Gradually.

Amemiya’s initially furrowed brows lifted, and her eyes widened.

The corners of her lips, initially pressed together, unconsciously lifted as the video continued to play.

This editing…

Added some sweetness, didn’t it?!
