I Still Want Her

"I called you cute."

"I'm not deaf yet."

Mai blushed and denied.

"I thought you would like to hear a few more compliments from others, and I will repeat it several times."

Asahi spoke half truths, looked at the girl's expression, and said, "You just left the entertainment industry and don't plan to come back?"

Faced with Asahi's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, it was hard for the stiff-looking Mai to lie that she didn't care.

If she really didn't care, how could she subconsciously pay attention to all kinds of news in the circle.

Mai has always loved making movies and radio dramas, and she is also very happy. She wanted to keep doing it, but now she's just lying about this feeling.

"Do you want to announce your comeback here?"

Asahi suddenly gave a suggestion: "I happen to have an office in my name, even if it's a bit small."

Mai glanced at him: "If it wasn't for the coincidence that the cellphone fell, I would have thought that you had planned beforehand."

"Isn't that just explaining the destiny between us, fate is very beautiful."

After that, Mai considered for a moment, but still rejected the proposal: "For now, I'm very satisfied with my current life, so I don't need it."

"However, if I have any ideas in the future, I will contact you."

Then he added another sentence.

Asahi can tell from Mai's happy smile, it seems that there is meaning in returning.

Asahi thinks that Sakurajima Mai's existence is not something in between mature and naive, but rather a mixture of the two.

"Can you give me your phone number and email address?"

"You mean you still want my phone number and email address?"

Asahi looked at her seriously, as if thinking about something.

"What is wrong?"

"That's right, I really want Mai-san the first time, please leave it to me."

Deliberately omitting any further words, Asahi took out his cell phone and handed it to her.

"Sounds like a criminal sentence."

Mai showed a slightly disgusted expression.

"What about the answer?"

"For your sincerity, I reluctantly agree."

Mai took her cell phone, entered her email address to log out, and saw the beautiful Hina drunken state screen saver.

"I didn't expect you to like the mature type of woman, I thought you preferred the cute type."

"Um?"

Asahi didn't react for a while, then looked at the screen saver, remembered that he hadn't changed it in the first place, and explained: "Cute isn't worth mentioning in front of sexy."

"Tsk."

Mai's contemptuous gaze grew sharper.

"Of course, I don't deny Mai-san's charm. If I'm tempted by you, I don't think I have the confidence to endure her."

Asahi nodded casually.

While Mai didn't speak, Asahi glanced at the time.

"Not much time, let's go to the hotel."

"H-Hotel"

Mai's mouth pursed into a line, and she stared with wary eyes.

"Oh, I was wrong, it should be a restaurant."

Asahi patted his forehead: "I'm just hungry, so I'll treat you to a meal, were you nervous just now?"

"Who's nervous?"

"Talking is a knot."

"I don't care about trivial things like that."

Mai snorted, got up early to pay the bill, and stepped out of the coffee shop.

After that, the two went to a restaurant to finish their dinner. As Asahi had to attend the celebration party later and discuss cooperation, so he spoke briefly with Mai about their respective situations, and didn't part ways until almost 8:08 p.m.

"Remember to contact me later, otherwise, I will take the initiative to harass you."

Sending Mai downstairs to her house, Asahi gestured for a phone call.

"I have to think about it."

"Is that so? Maybe someone's photo on my phone will accidentally spread to the outside world."

Asahi didn't care about the tsundere answer at all.

"This is a criminal violation of privacy."

"Yes, I have obtained the consent of the original owner beforehand."

"I can't remember agreeing with you to share my photo with a second person besides you."

Mai glared fiercely.

Asahi nodded knowingly: "So that's it. The subtext is that as long as it's me, it doesn't matter if I do something in front of those photos, right?"

"What are you planning?"

Mai's gaze gradually became sharper.

"As an 18-year-old teenager with a healthy mind and body and no girlfriends around, after seeing such a hot bunny girl, it is normal to have delusions when looking at various photos of the original owner."

The emphasis on some words is very clear.

"Just being treated as an object of fantasy by men, it's no big deal to me."

Mai's words faltered, she couldn't make it up, and she said: "Goodbye."

Then, without looking back, she returned to the mid-rise apartment she had bought.

Asahi watched as Mai's back disappeared behind a glass door that required a combination lock. He immediately left to attend a celebration party in Fujisawa City.

Nothing to talk about at a celebratory party, basically just to get in on the motions and say a few words. Asahi wasn't too interested in this kind of event.

Encourage everyone, share bonuses, and go about the traditional routine, and it was already 11 p.m. when he returned to Sakurasou after the celebrations.

When he came back, Ryuunosuke came out of the bedroom and talked to him, seems like recently the agency recruited an idol group that was just about to debut, apart from Seiyuu.

It seems that the number of people recruited is getting more and more complicated.

According to Ryuunosuke's statistics, there are sixty people in the game studio alone, and the anime studio has slightly less staff, with forty people. As for their seiyuu, at least, there are a total of only twenty people.

However, personnel are still being recruited, although the pace is slowing down, it is indeed slowly increasing.

Asahi didn't remember this, and after a while, when the current stage's accumulation and deposition were thorough, he would take a bigger step.

Mobile games are just the beginning and will never be the end.

Likewise, anime movies can be completed at speeds visible to the naked eye.
