686. Nail art and cans.
The so-called life is nothing more than a process of constant loss. Very precious things will slip out of your hands one after another, like a comb with broken teeth. What will fall into your hands instead are all fake and inferior products that are not worth mentioning.
.Physical energy, hopes, dreams and ideals, beliefs and meanings, or the people you love, one after another, one after another, quietly disappear from your side.
Sitting in front of the desk, Mogami Kazuto closed the book in his hand and rubbed his brows tiredly.
Outside the window, the moon disappeared without knowing when. Kazuto Mogami put his hands together, his fingertips between his eyebrows, and closed his eyes dully.
For a long time, a slight sigh sounded in this thick darkness.
"What exactly is life?"
…
…
On the second day after returning to Tokyo, Mogami Kazuto was busy again. There was no extra time for him to reflect on his troubles. He was overwhelmed by the work piled up during the weekend.
The looks he received from various staff members and voice actors he met on the set made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
However, as a mediocre adult, the only thing Mogami Kazuto can do is to accept it.
He knew very well in his heart that at this moment, he was not the only one experiencing this kind of thing. This society was very tolerant of men, but it was much harsher on women than imagined, at least in this country.
For other countries, he can't say.
Therefore, of course, the psychological pressure on the two girls was much heavier than his.
As soon as the work at hand was finished, Mogami Kazuto immediately went to the recording building next door to prepare for the recording of the "Children" animation. The sub-track for episode 9 that was originally scheduled for him to collaborate with Saori Konishi was canceled due to some changes and replaced with
The pairing of Saori Konishi and Arisa Shimizu.
And this so-called change is naturally due to what happened yesterday.
However, the sub-audio track can be avoided, and it is impossible to avoid cooperation in the official inclusion of the animation. Therefore, when Mogami and Kazuto arrived on the set, the lounge where there had been some communication suddenly fell into silence for a moment.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
Mogami and Shinobu said that maybe they came at the wrong time, but they still greeted all the voice actors in a friendly manner. As usual, they sat quietly in the corner and took out their scripts to read.
Opposite Mogami Kazuto, Shimizu Arisa and Konishi Saori were sitting side by side, not looking at him.
Mogami Kazuto is a person who keeps a clear distinction between public and private affairs when it comes to work. Therefore, when Shimizu Arisa took the script and said that he wanted to communicate with the drama, even though he could see that the purpose of Shimizu Arisa was not to communicate with the drama,
After he remembered what Sakura Ayane said to him last night, he did not refuse.
Watching Arisa Shimizu and Kazuto Mogami walk out of the lounge, the voice actors in the room started whispering to each other cautiously again. Saori Konishi, who was sitting on pins and needles, sighed inwardly, leaned over and left the lounge.
After that, the conversation in the lounge gradually started to fluctuate.
Shimizu Arisa also took him to the vending machine in the corner of the hall without any secret, bought a can of Coke and handed it to him.
"Thanks."
"How about it? Do you want to act together here?"
Mogami Kazuto looked around, and there was no one except them.
He shook his head: "Forget it."
Qingshui Yousha said "hmm".
"It seems that it still has an impact on you. I thought you would be like a normal person."
"Do I look like that type?"
"It doesn't look like you. Weren't you once such a cold and heartless person?" Qingshui Yousha teased unscrupulously.
Mogami Kazuto was slightly surprised. After glancing at the girl, he did not refute, seeming to admit what she said.
"Why is there sand..."
"Minase-san."
Mogami Kazuto was stunned.
Shimizu Yusha turned her face to the side and looked at him with a smile: "This is a workplace, so you should call me by my stage name, Totsuka-san."
After Mogami Kazuto was silent, he nodded: "Minase-san."
"Um."
Her expression didn't show her mood, but at least she was smiling.
"How does Minase-san view this matter?"
"What do you think?"
Qingshui Yousha thought for a while: "What do you want to hear from me?"
"Just as it is."
"Sure?"
Mogami Kazuto nodded.
Shimizu Yusha silently played with the green tea drink can in her hand, her sky blue manicure kept pulling the tab on the aluminum can, and then she stretched out her hand and handed it to Mogami Kazuto.
Mogami Kazuto glanced at it, took the jar and opened it for her.
"Thanks."
Qingshui Yousha took a big sip of green tea, stuck out his tongue and licked the tea stains on his lips, showing a slight smile.
"I can actually break it open, but I just don't want my newly done nails to deform."
"I know."
"Your thing is actually the same as my manicure."
Mogami Kazuto was startled when he heard this: "I would like to hear the details."
Qingshui Yousha smiled nonchalantly, stretched out her hand with five fingers spread out, each finger was slender and white, and the manicure glowed with a dreamy water color under the light.
"It's not a bad job. It cost a lot of money."
Mogami Kazuto nodded.
"These nails are like the past between you and Saori. They are beautiful and good-looking, but fragile. They are useless except for being beautiful. You saw my nails a long time ago, but because you didn't want to touch them, you knew that I couldn't help it. I opened the can of green tea and was still indifferent.
Only if I take the initiative to ask you, will you obey my orders with a cold face.
If I were a stubborn person and broke all the tabs and fingernails in one blow, causing blood to flow everywhere, you would definitely look concerned and complaining again.
Is what I said wrong?"
Mogami Kazuto couldn't answer. What Shimizu Arisa said was correct. Now he would be cautious and timid even when he opened a can of drink for her.
Before the revelations happened, he had never even thought about his past with Saori Konishi. He was thinking of forgetting it and looking forward to his new life with Sakura Ayane.
But he can't be like this forever, just like clear water and sand can't always let others open cans.
Qingshui Yousha smiled and shook his head: "You are an indifferent and heartless person until you see a girl getting hurt and crying.
I saw through this early on."
Mogami Kazuto took a sip of the Coke in his hand and slowly closed his eyes. He felt that what Shimizu Arisa said was so right that he couldn't even utter a retort.
"Because you have been ignoring yourself and Saori's past, it has evolved into this situation today.
Now the can is opened, the manicure is broken, and blood is seen bubbling out.
Only then did you look sad and try to do something to make up for it.
Don’t you think it’s too late?”
