The next three days were fully packed for Chizuru without a minute to spare. She had gotten permission from her talent agency. The director introduced her to the crew, except for a few actors, all were newbies. But Chizuru could quickly tell that they all were professionals. She got her costumer, a makeup artist, and a whooping pay of 350,000 yen which was a very high pay for a newbie. Half of it was given as advance. Yuta Sato, the protagonist of lonely hero, performed the antagonist's role. During this time, Chizuru completed reading the script. The story amused her. In the story, The main couple, Tazuya and Mikasi, have been engaged since childhood. It was a truce between their parents. Tazuya loved Misaki, but she didn't love him back. She was unhappy with the marriage but gradually came to like Tazuya. Tazuya was a doctor. An organ mafia kidnaped Misaki, and Tazuya went to great depths to save her and was eventually successful. Just after that, Misaki confesses her love to him, and by a play of fate, Tazuya is shot at that moment, and he dies. Later Misaki laments over his death and, at last, finds salvation. Chizuru was touched and amused and wondered if anyone could sacrifice themselves without having any guarantee that the other person loved them back. Suddenly Kazuya's face came into her mind, The time when he jumped off a ferry to save her and almost killed himself while trying to get rid of a fly during the movie. Chizuru began to worry about Kazuya. Three days had passed, but he still didn't return. Chizuru decided to call him, but she found that his phone had been switched off. Right after that, she received a call from the director and had to meet the writer. She requested this because she wanted to study her character in depth. She then became busy studying the script. She became friendly with the crew and learned that the director was dire during filming, and during the filming of the lonely hero, A single shot was taken more than 20 times to get perfection. They advised her to take the role very seriously and do her best. Chizuru studied the character very earnestly, and later she and Umi announced the news in their acting class, and everyone congratulated them. Many said that Chizuru would no longer perform in plays as she would become a full-fledged actress after this. The teacher persuaded her to take a break from the classes and concentrate more on the movie. Chizuru practiced her lines and gradually attained perfection.

One week had passed since Kazuya's departure. Chizuru tried calling him daily, but either the phone was off, or he may not pick it up. Mini told her not to worry. She told her he might be hanging out with his cousin, and he forgot to check his phone. Even though it was not convincing, Chizuru didn't get time to do anything. Her costumer picked dresses for her, and she was busy with the script. The day of the shooting finally arrived. She prayed before her grandparents' shrine and asked for their blessings. She was missing Kazuya, and she imagined him being excited and nervous. She again tried calling him, but it was in vain. She messaged him the location and asked him to meet her there. On reaching the location, she was really in awe. The whole place was covered with filming equipment. It was nothing like their movie. Many people were taking autographs from Yasuke. Upon seeing her, he excused himself and went to her.

"So, Are you ready?"

"Yes, sir."

"You are a bit nervous aren't you ?"

Chizuru nodded.

"It is Ok. This is your first film, after all."

"Second." Chizuru corrected.

"Oh! The movie Umi showed me. It was charming, especially the climax. It was a croudfunded movie wasn't it?"

Chizuru nodded.

"So,did you hired any proffesional for it?"

"No, It was done by..."

Chizuru didn't know what to say. She wondered what was her relationship with Kazuya. At last, she said friend.

'How much did you pay him?"

Chizuru said that it was done for free.

"What are you serious no one will do it for free. Let me guess it is a boy right?"

Chizuru nodded.

"So it is your boyfriend."

"No he is just a friend".

"Well no one will go to such an extend for a friend Ichinose-san."

After saying this, the director left to meet other crew members. At the same time, Umi arrived at the location.
