3rd POV

09.00 Am...

"I know you want to ask something from me." Yoshida's (15) face showed a slightly irritated face at Taishi.

"Hey, don't judge just yet. I'm here to introduce him." Taishi pointed at Kaburagi (23) who was next to him.

Kaburagi stepped closer to Yoshida and introduced himself. "Hello.. you are Akayashi-san, right? My name is Masaya Kaburagi. We have met before, remember?"

'who's that..?' Yoshida thought.
"Ah.. yeah. I heard a lot about you from producer Taishi!" Yoshida smiled at him.
'I lied, I even didn't know your name before.' Yoshida thought.

'This kid is a real liar..' Taishi thought.

Yoshida and Kaburagi shook hands smiling at each other.

"I heard a lot about you, Ayakashi-san. Right now Taishi-san and I are willing to work together as Lala Lai's representatives. We invite you to play the theater there."

Yoshida held his chin and thought for a moment. "Lala Lai huh...? I've never heard of it before. And also usually I play in dramas or live-action anime that aired on TV before, I've never done theater before.. I don't know if I can or not."

"Well, Lala Lai hasn't been around for long so.. maybe you can give it a try."

Yoshida and Taishi exchanged glances briefly and Taishi nodded at Yoshida.
"Okay, deal. But I don't know if I can do well."
Yoshida lowered his hand and smiled at Kaburagi again.
"Etto.. When will we meet there?"

"Hm? Did Taishi-san not tell you? We'll be right there after this."

'THAT PERSON!!' Yoshida glared at Taishi which made him avert his eyes from Yoshida before saying something.
"Oh yes! I forgot about that hehe~" Yoshida can only pretend.

"You're free this month, right?" Taishi still averted his eyes and still felt Yoshida still staring at him intently.

"You're right. Taishi-san.." Yoshida said in an even tone that was calm but threatening to Taishi and giving him goosebumps.
"...Can you take me there?" (Yoshida's true intentions 'Why didn't you tell me earlier?!')

"Don't worry, I'll take you there" ('Sorry, I forgot!')

The two of them still stared at each other as a means of communication.

After sparring through the stares of the two of them, the three of them decided to go to Taishi's car. Taishi was driving and Kaburagi was in front while Yoshida was behind them.

Yoshida still with a slightly irritated face leaned against the car window and just looked at the scenery during the trip.

While still watching the road, he didn't realize that they had arrived.

They got out of the car, and Yoshida's eyes were immediately glued to the rather large building. "You said your agency just started huh? Your place is big enough."

"Well, I'm sure this place has potential. You too, Akayashi-san."

Yoshida just nodded and they all entered the building. Some of the staff smiled at Yoshida and Yoshida smiled back at them.

They circled the building and Kaburagi became their guide. When they finished walking around, they sat resting on the terrace while enjoying the cold drinks they bought at the vending machine.
