My Tokyo Celebrity Girlfriend Is Love-Struck, What Should I Do? - Chapter 45

Except for You Two

“I’m really sorry!”

Yoshida’s hands hung in front of her knees as her body bent forward.

“I shouldn’t have secretly edited such a video, causing trouble for Kimura-senpai… I’m really sorry!”

“Kimura-senpai, please give me another chance. I really don’t want to leave the editing team…”

Huh?

Kimura turned to look at Yoshida, who was almost bowing at a ninety-degree angle beside him.

Just a moment ago, Yoshida, who realized she had sent the wrong video, sprang up like a spring, repenting frantically.

Unexpectedly, Yoshida admitted her mistake quite straightforwardly.

She didn’t even offer any defensive words.

After a brief moment of astonishment on Kimura’s face, he quickly turned around and said:

“No, Yoshida-kouhai, there’s no need for that…”

“Please don’t kick me out of the production team. I’ll immediately delete all the secretly edited videos.”

All the secretly edited videos?

Kimura was taken aback.

From the sound of it…

Apart from the video sent to the editing group, there were other videos?

“Other videos? Are they of the same type as that one?” Kimura pondered before asking.

“…Mm.”

Yoshida lifted her head slightly, trying to discern the expression on her senpai’s face at this moment.

Instead, she met Kimura’s thoughtful gaze.

He rubbed his chin with his fingers, contemplating for a moment.

“I won’t kick you out of the production team.”

“Thank you, Kimura-senpai!”

Yoshida expressed her gratitude with trepidation.

“However, this matter won’t just pass like this.”

“Yes!”

Yoshida’s body bent even more.

“In any case, Yoshida-kouhai, sit down and let’s talk. Send me all those videos, and I’ll take a look before deciding.”

“Huh?”

Yoshida looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

……

As the last video finished playing, Kimura stared at the computer screen in silence.

Seated beside him, Yoshida kept her head low, afraid to look up at him.

After a long while, Kimura let out a deep sigh, leaning back against the chair.

A total of six videos.

Even Kimura, who was accustomed to unexpected things, didn’t anticipate this. 

The seemingly innocent junior sitting beside him had secretly recorded various moments between him and Asuka.

What surprised him even more was Yoshida’s video editing skills.

With the same video clips, under Yoshida’s hands, they were edited and framed in different sequences. 

Coupled with pleasant background music, six videos with completely different styles were created.

Such remarkable skills…

Were all used for shipping a couple?

This was something Kimura had never expected.

However…

Compared to Koike Koichi’s dull personality, Yoshida appeared exceptionally sharp.

“Since when did you start this, Yoshida-kouhai?”

“From… from the first day of shooting,” Yoshida looked up, gesturing haphazardly with her hands in front of her. “But, initially, it was just for editing scenes of Asuka-senpai. Later on, I started including you, Kimura-senpai.”

“No, I mean, when did you start editing videos?”

“In high school… I started editing back then to promote my idols.”

Kimura suddenly understood; that explained why Yoshida’s editing speed was so fast, with a mastery of various keyboard shortcuts that dazzled the eyes.

“Have you ever thought about uploading the edited videos online?”

“Huh! I’ve been doing that all along,” Yoshida said absentmindedly, “I upload the edited videos to my T-site account.”

Yoshida took out her phone, sliding her fingers on the screen to open her T-site homepage.

Then, she handed the phone to Kimura.

Taking the phone, Kimura’s gaze fell on the screen.

At first glance, he saw Yoshida’s T-site account name…

Magical Girl?!

Words that seemed ready to burst out from Kimura’s mouth were held back at the last moment.

Then, he noticed the number of followers on Yoshida’s T-site account.

Hmm? Ten hundred million.

Thirty thousand followers?

Kimura couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

This follower count was comparable to some lesser-known idols in Tokyo, right?

Kimura looked at the videos Yoshida posted in her dynamic feed, and surprisingly, most of them were about Asuka…

Seems like she’s a devoted fan of Asuka.

However, most of these video edits were about scenes from the TV drama when Asuka debuted, not the current shooting.

At least they had a contract before, so Yoshida probably wouldn’t dare to privately post scenes from “Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight” without consent.

After a quick look, Kimura handed the phone back to Yoshida.

Yoshida put away her phone, awaiting the final decision from her senpai.

“Since that’s the case… it’s decided!” Kimura slapped his left hand in the center of his right palm.

“Huh?” Yoshida’s body trembled slightly.

“After the completion of the project, I’ll leave the promotion editing to you, Yoshida-kouhai.”

“Huh?!”” Yoshida was first shocked, then a trace of joy appeared on her face.

The meaning of this statement was that she was allowed to continue editing! That’s right!

This way, she could still see Asuka-chan.

“But, Kimura-senpai, I’ve never edited promotional videos…” Yoshida hesitated.

“It’s okay. Just edit it according to this style.”

Kimura opened the video he had sent privately to Yoshida, which had been forwarded by Asuka and Amemiya.

After a while, in the activity room.

“Is this level acceptable?”

“Whoosh~ If it’s just like this, of course, it’s no problem!”

“Then edit it in this style, and as for the background music, I’ll send it to you after recording it later.”

“Yes!”

“Oh, by the way, those videos from before, Yoshida-kouhai hasn’t shown them to anyone else, right?”

“…”

“Hmm? Why aren’t you saying anything, Yoshida-kouhai?”

“…”

……

In the afternoon, when the members of the editing team returned to the photography department to start editing, for some reason, Kimura, who they hadn’t seen for just one afternoon, seemed a bit absent-minded.

Yoshida’s speed in editing videos seemed to have increased…

Kimura stared at the computer on the table with a slightly dazed look, scenes from the afternoon replaying in his mind.

At that time, Yoshida had raised two fingers to him.

He thought only two people had seen it. If that was the case, it should have been only Yoshida and himself.

But who would have thought…

Yoshida, with difficulty, told him.

Except for himself and Asuka, everyone else had seen it.

Huh?

No wonder he had the constant feeling lately that eyes were scanning him during the shoot.

If that’s the case…

Doesn’t Amemiya Nao also know about it? Isn’t she supposed to be hostile towards him?

Does she also ship them???
