Chapter 98: Interesting Show
The pink-haired girl who arrived was naturally recognized by Shido. She was the eldest of the Nakano sisters, Ichika Nakano, and the only Nakano sister that he had never met.
Nino Nakano was right: He actually saw Ichika, and it happened in less than half a day. Is this the power of a girl's intuition?
However, Ichika Nakano didn't seem to come to him, but to Mai Sakurajima.
As for why Ichika knew Mai Sakurajima, it was not difficult to guess. After all, they were both affiliated with the entertainment industry. She seemed to respect Mai as a predecessor instead of a senpai.
Although Mai Sakurajima was only one year older than Ichika, she started acting when she was very young. She was even a child star before, and therefore, she was indeed Ichika Nakano's predecessor.
"Uh... you are?"
Mai Sakurajima frowned in embarrassment.
"Senpai, I acted in the previous TV series "Second Palace", playing the role of a junior, so I met you."
Ichika smiled a little embarrassedly. She didn't expect that Mai Sakurajima would forget about her. After all, they played in the same drama. Mai Sakurajima was the main character, and her role was just an ordinary passerby.
"I see."
Mai Sakurajima nodded unexpectedly. After all, she had been out of the show for a while, and what Ichika mentioned was her last performance.
"Senpai, is this... your boyfriend?"
Ichika asked tentatively.
If Mai Sakurajima said yes, she would just take out that photo and expose Shido's true color.
She believed that with such evidence, Shido would have no way to say that he had nothing to do with the blonde girl in the photo.
As for the one with white hair, Ichika didn't consider it for the time being. After all, she wasn't sure whether the white-haired girl and Shido were really a couple.
Maybe she was just a girl who had a crush on Shido?
Ichika was still thinking a lot, but Mai Sakurajima shook her head.
"Of course not. He and I are... friends?"
Mai Sakurajima tilted her head and responded.
"I don't remember being friends with you, senpai!"
Shido frowned in objection.
"No problem, I'll write the friend application."
Mai Sakurajima smiled and didn't care too much.
"Please allow me to object!"
Shido smiled. He wouldn't be as naive as Hachiman, who would accept something as childish as a friend application.
But on another thought, being friends with Mai didn't seem like a bad idea either, as long as she wasn't interested in him romantically.
Ichika was a bit stunned. Since it's not a couple relationship, then there's nothing to worry about... right?
She glanced at the photo in her pocket and put it back inside.
But Ichika did not leave immediately, but sat next to Mai Sakurajima. First, since Mai Sakurajima was her idol, one of the reasons why she aspired to become an actress, she wanted to talk to her more.
Second, she wanted to return the photo to Origami, but she didn't know where the other party was, so she wanted to find out more about Shido.
Since Mai Sakurajima was not in a relationship with Shido, there was no need to disclose the photo in her pocket for the time being. The best way would be to return the photo to Origami and let the other party decide what to do.
But what she didn't know was that all of her actions were seen by Origami.
Origami stared blankly at what was happening. Although she couldn't hear anything due to the distance, she could understand a little bit because she could read lips.
For example, she could understand words like mistress, friend, and rejection.
The pink-haired girl saw Shido and Mai Sakurajima sitting together, thinking that the two were boyfriend and girlfriend, so she called her a mistress?
Then Mai clarified that they were just friends, and then took the opportunity to confess to Shido, but was rejected...
Probably something like this?
Origami didn't know much either, but she didn't come to monitor Shido, she just came to see Shido, but she didn't expect to see such an interesting thing.
She had confidence in Shido, knowing that he wouldn't be dating other girls behind their backs.
Anyway, she knew that even if Shido did this for some reason, he would definitely explain it to them as soon as possible instead of hiding it.
Therefore, Origami smiled faintly, as if watching a good show that had this interaction of two women and one man.
Suddenly, Origami frowned when she saw the movement of Ichika taking out the photo.
"This is..."
Origami lowered her head a little uneasily, checked her collection, and sure enough there was one missing!
The good news was that it wasn't her own photos that went missing, it was Mukuro's, but in this way, there would be no chance to trade with her.
At this time, Origami naturally recognized that Ichika was the pink-haired girl she accidentally met just now.
From the looks of the other party, she seemed to be a very kind girl. Maybe she would return the photo to her.
"白い雪が街に优しく积もるように..."
Shido's cell phone ringtone rang.
It's just that, unlike the previous one, he switched to the voice that Miku Izayoi sang at karaoke two days ago, and it felt particularly nice.
"Please excuse me for a minute."
Shido smiled at the two girls, then stepped aside and answered the phone.
Mai Sakurajima nodded lightly and didn't say anything, while Ichika Nakano took Mai Sakurajima's little hand and whispered something.
It was mainly related to acting. It seemed that it was a pity because of Mai Sakurajima's withdrawal. After all, she had her dream now because of her senpai.
Of course, even if Mai Sakurajima really stopped being an actress, she would always be a predecessor she respected, and she would continue on this path.
Shido ignored the two who were chatting vigorously. He came to the side, where it was a little quieter, and then he was a little curious: Who was calling him at this time?
As soon as it was connected, Shido heard a thunderous voice from the other side:
"Itsuka, how are your preparations for the autograph event? Did you ask Souji Honjo to come?"
It turned out to be Editor Toki, the editor of the Undead Novel Industry. In other words, his boss...
