Chances: ☆☆☆
Basic Conditions: Occurs after episode 18
Location: Office
Repeat: Only Once

*Wham!*
Manager: ?! What, what was that?!
(Suddenly the wind blew the door open and when we looked we saw...)
Akabane Hazime: What's what?! It's me!
Manager: ...Hazime? Why are you....
Akabane Hazime: Where's Ren?
Manager: He's getting some rest.
Akabane Hazime: Really? Then there's nothing I can do.
Akabane Hazime: Hmmmm....
Manager: ?
(Akabane Hazime started to look me up and down.)
Akabane Hazime: No..no no no! Manager, I told you so many times and you are still wearing those horrible clothes.
Manager: Those horrible clothes....what's wrong with my clothes?
Akabane Hazime: You're not just anyone, You're my Ren's manager....
Akabane Hazime: You think it's okay to walk around in clothes like that?
Manager: Humph...Th-then how do you think I should dress?!
Akabane Hazime: I already told you before!
Akabane Hazime: Wear conservative, rich and stylish clothes!
Manager: So Mr. Akabane....why are you nagging me about my fashion sense?! And you think I can pick clothes off trees?
Manager: If I want to dress like you said, conservative, rich and stylish, do you know how much that will cost?
Manager: You don't even give me any money...there's no sense in making fun of my clothes...!
Akabane Hazime: Here.
Manager: Huh?.... What is this?
Akabane Hazime: It's money of course!
Manager: ......
Akabane Hazime: You said you need money right?
Manager: You are truly generous, Hazime...!!
Akabane Hazime: I'm glad you know it.

20. A Growing Conflict

Director: Good. Just like that, keep that expression....
*Snap snap*
(Ren's magazine shoot is going strong.)
Ren: ........
Director: Can't you smile for once?
Director: Sometimes you do an angry face or a frown....but it's hard to get a happy face from you.
Cameraman: Does it matter?
Cameraman: Lately, he's got a bad boy image anyway.
Cameraman: If he smiles, it'll be weird.
Director: Well....that's why we called him for this shoot anyway.
Manager: .........
(I know Ren's image isn't any good right now, but hearing them say it out loud is a little....)
(Moments later....)
(Finally the shoot finished and Ren changed his clothes and came to the lobby.)
Manager: Nice work today.
Arisugawa Michiru: ...........
Manager: Huh?
(On the other side of the lobby was Arusugawa Michiru.)
Arisugawa Michiru: Hello.
(Arisugawa Michiru was smiling as he walked towards us.)
Ren: ..........
(Ren ignored him and just walked past him.)
Arisugawa Michiru: .....hasn't changed a bit....
Ren: Then, what were you expecting?
(All of a sudden Ren turned and asked.)
Arisugawa Michiru: ..........
Ren: After being cornered for a while, now that it looks like I'm the one who's cornered, you're happy aren't you?
Ren: You think my plans backfired on me, don't you ?
Ren: So you came to see me suffer?
Manager: Ren........
Arisugawa Michiru: ..........
Ren: Happy?
Ren: Enjoy this as much as you can.
Ren: Everything you think you snatched will go right back to you soon.
Arisugawa Michiru: Ren.....
Ren: You think you can have it all?
Ren: You are totally misunderstanding something.
Arisugawa Michiru: Misunderstanding....?
Ren: I'm talking about those things you want so much that you'd do anything for.
Ren: Those things, they were all rightfully mine since I was born.
Arisugawa Michiru: How about me.....!!!
Ren: You and I were different since birth.
Arisugawa Michiru: .............
Manager: Ren!!!
Manager: No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't......!!
Manager: Michiru didn't wish to be born like that!
Arisugawa Michiru: That's okay Manager. I'm used to hearing all this.
Arisugawa Michiru: I'm totally used to this....so it's okay.
Manager: Michiru.......
Arisugawa Michiru: Ren....it's just....that....
Ren: ..........
Arisugawa Michiru: I just wished you'd find someone special.
Arisugawa Michiru: I think that's Manager. I am a little scared though....
Arisugawa Michiru: If she's precious to you, I can give her up.
Ren: Give her up? You're acting so generous.
Arisugawa Michiru: ..............
Ren: So what are you going to do if there is someone I think is precious?
Ren: Why do you want me to have someone precious so badly?
Ren: So you can steal it away? Then ruin it?
Arisugawa Michiru: ..............
Ren: Like my mother.....like that?
Arisugawa Michiru: ..............
Ren: Manager means nothing to me.
Ren: She just looks like your mother, so I just used her to ruin you.
Ren: What you want to happen is not going to happen, so you don't have to go around hiding and watching us like a sneaky little rat.
Arisugawa Michiru: ........you really have no feelings for Manager?
Arisugawa Michiru: Then...you won't care at all if I like Manager?
(Ren just walked out and left without even listening to Arisugawa Michiru's questions.)
Arisugawa Michiru: Oh man... I gues...I'll just forever be hated by Ren.
Manager: It's just that....
Arisugawa Michiru: But I feel a little more comforted when I see you....
Arisugawa Michiru: Since Ren doesn't have anyone to comfort him.... I should just let him say those things to me.
Manager: ......
Arisugawa Michiru: I'm so glad that Ren has no feelings for you.
Arisugawa Michiru: Since Ren said so, I can trust what he said right? I can believe him right?
Manager: ..........
Arisugawa Michiru: If ever he says that you are someone precious....Then...I'm really going to....
(Arisugawa Michiru wasn't able to talk for a while, he only looked sadly in the direction where Ren walked away).
Arisugawa Michiru: I'll get going now.
Arisugawa Michiru: Take care.
(Arisugawa Michiru left too.)
Manager: ......
Manager: I don't know if I want to go home....
Manager: Maybe I'll visit Sarah.
(Moments later....)
(I see a familiar sight, Sarah's place.)
Milika: What brought you here today?
Manager: Uh...I just suddenly thought of you.
Manager: I have a keepsake....
(I started to tell Sarah about Ren and Arisugawa Michiru.)
Milika: Hmmm.....
(After hearing the whole story, Sarah started to think deeply.)
Milika: A necklace that Ren's mother clasped in her hands when she died.
Milika: But in the pendant is a picture of Arisugawa Michiru and his mother...
Manager: Does it....mean something?
Milika: It's got to mean something.
Milika: I just thought of this...
Manager: Yes?
Milika: The mothers may not have had a relationship like Ren and Arisugawa Michiru.
Manager: Excuse me?
Milika: The picture of Arisugawa Michiru and his mother, that she had in her hands when she died.
Milika: Clasped tightly....Remember that they are your family too, you are not alone, and so on and so forth.....
Milika: Doesn't it seem like it carries a message like that?
Manager: .....a happily ever after fairy tale is more believable than that.
Milika: That's credibility for ya.
Milika: The crook is Arisugawa Michiru! Or his mother!!!
Manager: ..........
Milika: How did you know? Are you a mind reader?
Milika: Do you want to be my fortune telling business partner?
Manager: Nope.
Manager: I just wander....how you stay in business.
Milika: I do better than most think.
Manager: ........
(I got up and left for home.)
Manager: Uh.....
(On my way home, I thought of something that made me stop in my tracks.)
Manager: Could it be true?
(Sarah's words spun in my mind.)
Manager: It could be that Ren's mother was worried about Ren's relationship with Arisugawa Michiru....
Manager: ......yes. I'll give the necklace back to him.
Manager: .......returning the necklace to Ren will make things right.

20. A great duo

Chances: ☆☆☆
Basic Conditions: Kano Kazuteru's Trust Points between (...)
Location: Speech Academy
Repeat: Only once

Manager: Hello...are you here...? We're here...
Yano Kazuteru: Hmmm? Okay, good timing, I'm glad you're here.
(The teacher looks happy. Did something good happen?)
Ren: You must have something you want to tell me?
Yano Kazuteru: Yes. Things are going crazy now.
Ren: Looking at your expression...I'm assuming things are going crazy at M?
Yano Kazuteru: You're right. Just like you asked.
Yano Kazuteru: The music producers I tipped off have all turned their backs on M.
Yano Kazuteru: Thanks to me M won't be able to produce any more albums.
Yano Kazuteru: Now that I'm seeing this happen, for some reason I'm feeling good about it too.
Ren: Phew...you're pretty good. You must have a good network of people.
Yano Kazuteru: Well, yes. Generally I'm not the type of person to hurt others but...
Yano Kazuteru: This time I had no choice. And I guess what's happening is good.
Ren: ...ha, is that so. Well then, I'll request of you to continue to do the same thing, teacher.
Yano Kazuteru: Oh ho, what did you just say? Did you just call me teacher?
Yano Kazuteru: Anyway, I'll continue to do my best with the remainder of the things I need to do, so don't concern yourself too much and just wait.
Ren: Got it.
(What, what are these two saying? They are two of a kind...Can't they talk about something I can understand?)

Chances: ☆☆☆☆☆
Basic Conditions: Singer level 5 and up
Location: Channel 8
Repeat: Only once

Ren: ...?

Manager: Ren....? Why do you keep looking around?

Ren: ......

(Instead of replying, he walked over to a lamp post nearby...)

Ren: ...what are you doing?

???: Eeek...!

(An unfamiliar girl slowly peeked her head out at Ren.)

Manager: Oh...? Is it someone you know Ren?

Ren: No, not at all. Who are you?

Girl: ! So-so-sorry...! I....I just...
I, was watching TV....and saw Ren singing...and...the song....so great....
After hearing him sing...I really wanted to meet him so....

Ren: ...you liked my song....?

Girl: Yes, YES...! I really like it...!

Ren: .........
For what reason?

Girl: Oh a reason...?

Ren: Yeah, what reason.
You're not just saying you like it right? There must be a reason?

Girl: Be, because....I can't explain the exact reason...but...
When I'm listening...for some reason I feel encouraged...

Ren: Encouraged....?

Girl: Yes...! So....
For a long time now I've been sick....on my really bad days, I can't even come outside like this...
But, the moment I heard your song...I felt like you were saying...it's okay...be strong...
Even if there are hard times, it's okay....good days will come so be strong... Because of that I feel so encouraged.
So...I wanted to say thank you...

Ren: ......

Girl: Th-then, I should get going! Sorry for taking up your time...!

Manager: Uh, wait...!

*Pit pat pit pat...*

Manager: ...she left.

Ren: It's okay...?

Manager: Huh?

Ren: Even if there are hard times, it's okay....?
Good days will come, so be strong...?
...I've never sent out a message like that when I sang.

Manager: Uh....

Ren: Yet, she's saying that she likes my song.....
Is she totally ...misunderstanding something?
...I can't understand.

Manager: Ren.....

Ren: ...I'm going.

Manager: Hey, wait...!

(Moments later...)

Manager: ....Ren, It's almost your turn...

Ren: .....

Manager: Ren...?

Ren: ....I'll be back.

(Then Ren went up on stage and then stood still for a moment...)

Ren: ........
...it's okay.
....be strong.

Manager: Ren....!

(He started the song with the whisper, and it felt totally different.)

(Today, the song...was filled with a message...)

Ren: ...Manager.

Manager: Yeah...?

Ren: Did I....sing well?
I sang it..but I have no idea. I only know that it was different from before...

Manager: .......
...it's okay. Be strong, Ren.

Ren: ...!

Manager: I hope to continue to hear you sing in the future too.

Ren: ....hmmm.

(I don't know if it's okay for me to say this but...Ren has truly matured into a great singer.)

19. In a Slump

*Chatter*

(People all around were busy preparing for the shoot.)
(It looks like everything is almost ready.)

Director: Ren isn't here yet?

Manager: ....well...

(He said he'd be here by now....)
(Tatsuya has never been late, but today he's late and he's not calling either.)

Director: This is not good. It's almost time.
Man....there's been bad rumors about him, but he's been so dedicated that I continued to use him but if he's late like this then...

Manager: I'm so sorry. I'll try to contact him again.

(After listening to the director mutter complaints, I left and called Ren.)

*Ring....ring...*
*I am not able to take your call, please leave a message...*

(He's still not answering.)

Director: Ren is still not here?!!!
It's time and he's still not here!!! Find me another model!!!

Manager: Uh, Director...sir...

Director: Forget it!!! I have no intentions of working with your company anymore so don't even think about it!!!

(He's totally upset....)

Manager: Maybe I should go check his room.......

(I finally arrived at his room.)

Manager: Oh my...what a complete mess.

(His room was so unlike Ren, it was a total mess.)
(There were empty alcohol bottles everywhere and the room had a thick stench of alcohol.)

Manager: There are one, two, three, four....how many are there?
And where in the world is Ren?

Ren: ................

(I turned and saw him crouched over in a corner)

Manager: Ren?

Ren: ...........what are you doing here?

Manager: You didn't come to today's shoot....what happened?

Ren: Today...?
Oh, the shoot....

(Suddenly he got up and started walking towards the door.)

Manager: Hey, where are you going?!!!

Ren: ......I need to go to the shoot.

Manager: Like that?

Ren: What's wrong with....the way I look......

*Plop*

(Ren suddenly fell down.)

Manager: Ren!!!

(I got up close to him....)

Ren: Hmmm....

Manager: .....are you sleeping?
If you're drunk...you should just sleep.
He fell into a deep sleep in no time.
Now that I think about it....this is the first time I've seen Ren so defenseless.)

This is my chance. Get a picture and threaten him with it. (Nothing)

Ren: ............

(He's so defenseless. this is my opportunity.)

Manager: Right! I'm going to take this opportunity to blackmail him.

(If I take a picture of him like this, it's too plain.....I need something embarrassing.....)

Ren: Mmmm....

(.........)
(I'll take his clothes off. RIght, that's what I'll do. I'll take a nude picture and then I'll blackmail him!!)

Manager: I'll take a down right embarrassing picture of him that he won't be able to ignore.

(Happily I put my hands on him so I could take off his clothes.)

Ren: ............

Manager: Aaaack.....!!!

(All of a sudden Ren woke up and looked right into my eyes.)

You snooze you lose! Draw on his face.

Looking at him sleep gives me a strange feeling... (Love Points: +4)

Manager: Good looking people look like they are modeling even in their sleep.
..........

(My heart started to beat a little faster as I watched Ren sleep.)

His lips are perfect too....

(My hands started to reach towards his face.)
(And I got closer to those lips....)

*Thump thump*

(As I got closer to Ren's lips.....)

Ren: ............

(Suddenly Ren opened his eyes and we were staring at each other face to face.)

Manager: Oh, are you....up?
I mean....uh...what I was trying to do was....

Ren: ...........

Manager: So, this is.....this is.....

(I tried to make an excuse, but I don't think he'll believe me.)

*Whoosh*

(Ren suddenly pulled me close to him.)

Manager: Whoa.....?!

(After I realized what he just did.....)

Manager: He's....he's....is he going to....?!

Ren: ..............

*Thump thump*

(My heart was thumping so hard I could hear it.)

Manager: So, so what I was trying to do was....
Ren, wait!!!! Don't! We are still too young!!!
I mean...I'm still a minor!!! So....

Ren: ..............

(Ren rested his head on my chest.)

Manager: Eeeeeek!!!!
Eeeeeek!!!!

*Hush...hush*

Manager: ...........hush hush?

Ren: ..............

(Sleeping....)

Manager: What...? I got nervous for nothing.

(I was going to push Ren aside and get up.)

Ren: .....mom....

Manager: ..............
Is he...dreaming?

Ren: Mom...mom......
Mom.......

Manager: ..............

(I got back to my senses, stood up, and covered Ren with a blanket.)

Manager: I won't do anything to you today.
Sleep tight, Ren.

*Click*

(After tightly shutting the door, I tip toed to the office.)

Touya: Hope the shooting goes smoothly...

Location: Production Win

Touya: Hope the shooting goes smoothly...

Manager: Worried?

Touya: Yeah, just a little. This is my first time acting with that actress.
Not sure, if we can get along.

Touya: I have to leave now.

Girl: Excuse me... what're you saying??

Touya: I'll be staying overseas for the next 2 years.
For you and me...

Girl: Explain to me.. What's wrong!

Touya: I'm not the kind of guy you should be with.

Girl: No...

Touya: Can you wait for me?

Girl: ...
Don't say that...

Touya: ...

Girl: ...

(Touya's shoot continued smoothly)

46. Counterattack of pigeons

Chances: ☆☆
Basic Conditions: Love Points 150 and up
Location: Green Park
Repeat: Every 3 other days

Manager: Here you go..eat a lot.
Ren: Are you that happy?... Feeding the pigeons?
Manager: It's fun. Oh... I'm out of food...
Manager: Sorry birdies! Snack time is over!
*Coo cooo cooo...*
*Cooo coo COOO!!*
Manager: Eeek!
(It was like the pigeons realized that I ran out of food and they were all angry and coming toward me!)
*Flap! Peck! Peck!*
Manager: Hey! Ouch, you....! How could you do this to someone who fed you?!
Ren: Ha...we could say this is a revolt.
Manager: Don't just sit there and laugh, HELP ME!! Argh, what do I do...?

Grab Ren and Run away.

Wait patiently for the attack to be over. (Memory: +2) (Energy: -26)
-----(Then...I'll wait it out! Pigeons aren't known to be too strong so...!)
-----*Coo! Peck! Peck!*
-----Manager: I'm not going to give in...! I'm not going to give in...!
-----Ren: ........
-----*Swooosh!*
-----*Coooo....*
-----Manager: Uh...is it over? Did I win?!
-----Ren: ...no. I threw a rck to chase them away.
-----Manager: You laughed at me when I asked for help, and then you help me after I've been attacked for a while....?
-----Ren: I helped you and you're complaining?
-----Manager: No, I just...I am thankful... (Sigh)
-----Manager: Anyway, I learned that hungry pigeons are scary....
-----Ren: I learned that if I need to look after you, I need more energy....
-----(You don't have to learn those things...!)

See who's stronger, the pesky birds or me!!

-----Manager: Alright let's see who's stronger, you little beasts!!!
-----*Whip!*
-----(I whipped the empty food bag at them.)
-----*Flaaaap! Peck! Peck!
-----Manager: How dare you attack me...eeekk!!!
-----*Flaap! Peck!....*
-----Manager: Take that...and that! You will all be defeated!
-----Manager: Ren? Do I look lke a fighter? How do I look?!
-----Ren: Stupid.
-----Manager: ...don't make fun of me.
-----Ren: I'm being honest. And...if you are going to continue to whip that bag at me, you should stop.
-----(Ugh...will there be a day when I can defeat Ren?)

18. A Memory with Ren's Mom

Manager: Ummm....

(During my free time I was taking care of some other work and all of a sudden something caught my attention.)

Manager: on the floor....

(I saw something sparkle on the floor so I walked over to it and it was the pendant that I had been searching for all this time.)

Manager: Wow....it's been here?
I guess I was looking in all the wrong places....
I finally found it!

(......)

Manager: But....I was holding the pendant ransom to keep Ren here.
If I give it back, will he quit....?
But it was given to him by his deceased mother so I shouldn't hold on to it either......

*Creak*

Manager: Oh....

(As I was worrying about what to do, the pendant creaked open.)

Manager: There's a picture.
There's a picture inside.
But the picture inside is....

(The picture is of someone who looks like me and Arisugawa Michiru at a young age.)
(It was easy to spot Arisugawa Michiru, he doesn't look much different than he does now.)

Manager: Arisugawa Michiru??
How is it that...there's a picture of Arisugawa Michiru in Ren's pendant?
He said that when he had a hard time he looked at this necklace to get him through.....
I believe he was telling the truth....
This is precious to Ren....I know it was left to him by his mother....

(Why is it that the picture inside is of Arisugawa Michiru and his mother....)

Manager: I have no idea.
Ah........
Oh....he would know!!!

Akabane Hazime: What's up?
Last time I saw you I said to call if something happened to Ren......is this related to him?

Manager: Yes, it's because of Ren sir.

(If it's because of Ren then his cousin, Hazime would know for sure.)

Manager: Uh.....I heard about the situation between Michiru and Ren.....

Akabane Hazime: Yes...and?

Manager: Uh....what kind of a person was Ren's mother?

Akabane Hazime: Uh.......
So...you want to know about my aunt?

Manager: Yes....
After eveyrthing that's been happening lately, I've been curious....
Ah, if it's uncomfortable for you to say anything, then it's okay.

Akabane Hazime: .................
She was......a good person.
You know that Royal Company and M Entertainment merged together... to become the large conglomerate Royal Corporation of today right?

Manager: I heard that was big news at the time.

Akabane Hazime: So...my aunt and uncle had an arranged marriage to complete the merger.
They got married just like the family wanted, but after a while uncle lieved with another woman, and he and auntie lived like strangers.
No matter what people said behind her back, auntie continued to smile and live her life.

Manager: ..................

Akabane Hazime: She was like a beautiful, delicate flower...I felt like I needed to take care of her.
Her smile was so brilliant that it lit up a room.

Manager: Brilliant.....
Ren always talked about how stunning his mother was too......

Akabane Hazime: I wanted to take care of her, but I was too young back then.
That's why when my aunt left us with Ren, he was forced to go abroad too....
And on top of all that, auntie's M Entertainment became that jerk's too....

Manager: Ah....when I was at Kurisu's clothing store, I remember hearing that M Entertainment was Ren's mother's.

Akabane Hazime: Yes, it was.
When auntie owned the company, it was more for scouting and managing models.
Uncle handed it over to Arisugawa Michiru as if he wanted to hurt auntie.

Manager: So Ren wants to get the company back....?

Akabane Hazime: Of course, because nothing should go to Arisugawa Michiru, absolutely nothing.
He's going to get it back even if it kills him.
That's why he's been trying so hard to do up until now.

Manager: ...........

Akabane Hazime: Because of that family, it was difficult to get Ren back here too.
Now that Ren's back, we have to get started.
Until then, please look after Ren.

(Hazime asked me over and over again to look after Ren.)

Akabane Hazime: But, you know what?

Manager: ?

Akabane Hazime: What's with the way you dress?
If you want to be around Ren, you should dress a whole lot better.

Manager: Ex-excuse me sir???

Akabane Hazime: Well....I wasn't going to say anything, but I think I should.
Even the way you sit. You should sit up straight at a 90 degree angle and look straight with your head tilted up a little.
Oh, and when you walk...walk with a littl bounce and keep your legs together....and....

Manager: Excuse me sir....? Hazime?

Akabane Hazime: I knew it. I just don't think you're right for him.
If you want to be around Ren, you need to be the best....

Manager: Excussse me sir. I'm not Ren's wife you know.
You're talking like a mother in law talking down to her daughter in law.

Akabane Hazime: Oh, so you understand.
Everyone says that later on I'll act like a typical mother in law to Ren's future wife.

Manager: That's not something to brag about you know? Why don't you just go back to where you came from please?

Akabane Hazime: Anyway, until we meet again, you had better have a make over done like I told you to.

(Hazime totally acted like a traditional mother in law and left.)

Manager: Whew....it's quiet now.
But.....
He's going to get the company back...even if it kills him....

(He won't give up anything to Arisugawa Michiru.....)

Manager: ...................
Does Ren know that his mother's pendant has a picture of Arisugawa Michiru in it............?

17. A Scandal?

*Screeeeeaaam!!!!*
*Yeeeeee Ren!!!!!*

(The audience's excitement was felt backstage.)
(Ren's performance is coming to an end.)

Stage Staff: Is it still Ren?
Ren is getting better and better, isn't he?

(I can hear them talking about Ren right behind me.)

Stylist: At first I thought, what kind of a spoiled brat is he...but later found out that's just his character.
Have you heard? M Entertainment's president has been threatening Ren.

Stage Staff: Oh, that. I heard that's true.
There's been a lot of rumors about M Entertainment's cut through marketing but for them to threaten another management company's entertainer....

Stylist: Royal Corporation is supporting them, but that's just too much don't you think?

Stage Staff: And the latest rumor, man that's a doozy.

Stylist: Huh? What rumor?

Stage Staff: You haven't heard? I heard they are unstable.
I don't know the details, but something about low funds? That's the reason for their cut throat marketing too.

Stylist: Really? M?
But if Royal Corporation is supporting them, how can they be low on funds?

Stage Staff: I don't know...something about the president embezzling funds or a fight over who's going to be the next heir.....
Anyway, the rumors are just awful.

Manager: Embezzlement of funds.....?

(The president is Michiru...he wouldn't do a thing like that.)

Manager: Is Ren planning something again....?
Arisugawa Michiru is the one that is getting a bad reputation.... and looking like the bad guy.....

Stage Staff: Now that he's embezzled funds, enemies are popping up left and right.

Stylist: Enemies?

Stage Staff: M's rivals have been actively confronting him.
Wow, his enemies are now attacking him?

Stylist: ?

(?)

Stage Staff: There is one guy that opposes all of M's threats.
It's that person over there.
(Uh.....)

Yano Kazuteru: .........

(The staff member was pointing to an area where Yano Kazuteru was standing.)
(But....what about Yano Kazuteru?)

Manager: Instructor Yano?

Yano Kazuteru: Ah, Manager.
I'm glad I ran into you. I came here because I thought Ren was going to be here.

Manager: Ren?

Yano Kazuteru: I received a strange request.
I was put in an awkward position as I was trying to resolve it.

Manager: Does it have to do with M Entertainment?

Yano Kazuteru: You know about it?

Manager: Gulp. Really?

Yano Kazuteru: I know a lot of people in the music industry.
He was using that power to corner M Entertainment and threaten them.

Manager: Threaten....

Yano Kazuteru: He said he would give me contact information to his aunt and I had no other way out.
Later, he even brought his aunt's son, and they both ganged up on me....

Manager: You've been threatened and harrassed....

Yano Kazuteru: Once Ren is done, give me a call...
I did what he said so tell him not to threaten me any more.

Manager: ....I'll let him know.

Yano Kazuteru: Also....

Manager: ?

Yano Kazuteru: There's been a sudden change in situation.

Manager: What do you mean sir....?

Yano Kazuteru: There are bad rumors circulating about Ren.

Manager: What kind?

Yano Kazuteru: Be careful for now.
Tell him that.

Manager: Uh....

(The instructor left.)
(Moments later....)
(The show was over and Ren and I were about to leave.)

Manager: Oh that's right, I just met Yano Kazuteru a little while ago.)

Ren: Did he do what was asked?

Manager: He completed it so he said not to threaten him anymore.

Ren: ..........
Since that threat worked, I'm sure I can use it again.

Manager: ............
You don't even feel a teensy bit sorry toward him?

Ren: Nope.

Manager: ..........

Ren: Well, everything is going according to plan so there is no reason to threaten him again.

Manager: According to plan? Then....
You mean harassing Arisugawa Michiru?

Ren: Of course.

Manager: ....Ren, in your eyes it may seem that Arisugawa Michiru and his mother caused harm but....
Still, I think you hate him too  much.
If you act out this way, then for Arisugawa Michiru it's too....

*Snap snap*

Manager: Whoa....
(A sudden amount of camera flashes startled us.)
(Reporters started to swarm toward Ren and pictures were being taken left and right.)

Reporter 1: Ren!!! Is it true that you are an heir to Royal Corporation?

Reporter 2: Arisugawa Michiru said that the rumors about him were all conducted by you. What do you have to say about that?

Reporter 3: Is it true that you and Arisugawa Michiru are fighting over who will be the next in line for Royal Corporation?

Manager: Uh....

Ren: .........

(He said that some strange things were happening...was he talking about this?)

Manager: Ren, it seems they found out that you were behind it all, and they even know about your identity.
What should we do? We need to get out of here.

Ren: .........

Manager: Forget it. I can't ask you for anything.
I'll have to get us out of here.
Okay....so if we want to get out of this swarm of reporters then....

Walk out confidently. (Speech: +5)

Manager: Ah...so....

(....okay, let boldly leave.)
(Honestly, if we try to sneak out in a situation like this, that would be more strange.)

Manager: Ren, let's leave!

Ren: Through the front door?

Manager: If we sneak out the back, it's the same thing as admitting that what they are saying is true.
We are just going to boldly walk out!

(Even though...what they are saying is true and we don't feel bold at all....)

Ren: I guess you aren't totally ignorant.

(Just like that Ren stretched out his legs and strutted out.)

Reporter 1: Ren!!! What's your response.....!!

Reporter 2: Tell us the truth!!!!!!

Ren: Move.

Reporter 1: Uh....

*Chatter*

(Ren's attitude was so cold and arrogant that the reports parted just like Moses parted the Red Sea.)
(No one dared approach Ren, instead each person walked backwards giving Ren space to walk.)

Ren: Let's go.

(He stopped for a moment to tell me that.)

Manager: Uh....o-okay.

(I walked through the open path anf quickly followed after Ren.)

Slip out of a tiny hole out back.

Distract the reporters and flee.


(After walking for a while, we were standing in front of the management company.)

Manager: Sigh....

(I kept on sighing the whole time we were walking.)

Ren: .........

Manager: What are we going to do now?

Ren: ............

Manager: I looks like you've been found out.
For how long....are you going to go on like this.
And how are we going to take care of all this?

Ren: I'm not worried.

Manager: What.....?
How could you not care? You're the bad guy now.

Ren: Don't care.
It's just my image.... Even if everything started falling apart....
As along as I can crush Arisugawa Michiru with my own hands I'll do any dirty, devious thing. I can do it.

Manager: ....

Ren: ............

(Ren had his fists clenched and started to shake.).

Manager: Man...

(Is there anyway for Ren and Arisugawa Michiru to get closer?)

16. Michiru's Confession

Manager: Uh...

(Out of habit I read the daily entertainment news, but i noticed a shocking headline so I clenched the paper.)

Manager: Arisugawa Michiru, the president of M Entertainment arranged for thugs to threaten Ren....
The thugs are friends of Arisugawa Michiru, they used to do all his dirty work since high school....
(It's must be....)
Those guys we saw not too long ago.
The headlines read just like Ren planned it....
(Like Arisugawa Michiru is the bad guy....)

(Moments later...)

(I felt like I needed to go to Sarah and hear about my future, so I left the office.)

Arisugawa Michiru: Hello.

Manager: Uh....

(Arisugawa Michiru was in front of the office.)

Manager: You were waiting for me?

Arisugawa Michiru: Yeah.
I was going to ring the doorbell, but you walked out.

Manager: ....what....are you here for?

Arisugawa Michiru: ......just becuase.
I was feling a little frustrated and started wandering and ended up here.

Manager: You saw... the headlines.

Arisugawa Michiru: I saw it. Ren made all of it happen right?

Manager: ......

Arisugawa Michiru: Ren.....he must truly hate me.

Manager: .........

Arisugawa Michiru: Well, it's always been this way, so now I'm getting tired of worrying about it.
Manager, I'm sorry if I put a damper on your day.
It's okay, I'm totally fine.

Manager: But...

Arisugawa Michiru: I feel worse that you are worried.
I don't want you to be sad because of me.

Manager: .........

Arisugawa Michiru: Manager....did you hear about me and Ren's relationship?

Manager: Uh...well...
I went to this party awhile back and I overheard some older ladies talking....

Arisugawa Michiru: I see.
So you already know.....

Manager: .....

Arisugawa Michiru: Actually, sometimes I feel cheated.

Manager: ?

Arisugawa Michiru: My father loved my mother first.
Ren's mother showed up later and used her money to take him away....

Manager: Uh....

Arisugawa Michiru: My mother gave everything up and left father.
After father married Ren's mother, my mother found out she was pregnant with me.
She still hid from him....I met my father for the first time when I was six years old.

(Arisugawa Michiru's face looked as if he was going to cry.)

Arisugawa Michiru: After father saw my mother and realized I was his son, he came back to us.
So it turned out that Ren and his mother were left behind.

Manager: Oh my...!!

Arisugawa Michiru: That's why...that's why Ren doesn't like me....but sometimes I feel cheated.

Manager: !!!

Arisugawa Michiru: Why do people think we ruined their family?
If it wasn't for Ren's mother, my father, mother and I would have lived as a happy family.
I could have... I could have grown up without being called an illegitimate child!!!!

Manager: M...michiru....

(I tried to calm Arisugawa Michiru down by calling his name softly.)

Arisugawa Michiru: Oh...I'm sorry. I'm overrecting.
I...just sometimes recall bad memories and get upset...
Oh man... I can't believe I'm saying all these things to you and reacted the way I did.

Manager: It's okay.
I don't blame you for getting angry over all the things that Ren has been doing.

Arisugawa Michiru: Ah, no, no. Please forget everything I said today.
You are just so much like my mother... because I like you....that's why I just opened up to you.

Manager: .......

Arisugawa Michiru: Maybe this is what Ren wanted.
Maybe he wanted to keep me near, by using someone that looks so much like my mother.
I really don't know what to do anymore.

Manager: Michiru...

Arisugawa Michiru: Would you leave Ren....and won't you come to me?

Manager: Huh....?

Arisugawa Michiru: No, no.....
Ren is being managed by your company, there's no way you would give up your work.
I shouldn't have said that....

Manager: ........

Arisugawa Michiru: Sometimes I get nervous.

Manager: ?

Arisugawa Michiru: I feel like I'm going to....lose you.
Manager, I feel like you're going to go to run off with Ren, and you'll be out of my reach....

Manager: .......

Arisugawa Michiru: Manager, there isn't something between you and Ren, is there?

Manager: Eh? Well....if there is something then it's strictly professional between a star and his manager.

Arisugawa Michiru: That's it right? There really isn't something between the two of you right?
Ren has never let anyone be around him for this long so I'm getting impatient.

Manager: What kind of a relationship do you think we have?

Arisugawa Michiru: I think you are someone special to Ren.

Manager: You're kidding...

Arisugawa Michiru: Actually I want Ren to have many precious people near  him.
People he can open up to....and find comfort in. I really hope he will find friends like that.

Manager: Arisugawa Michiru must really....for Ren.

Arisugawa Michiru: But I don't want one of those people to be you.
I do want Ren to feel for someone the way I feel for you though.
Not you, but someone else...

Manager: .........

Arisugawa Michiru: So.....so....

Manager: ......

Arisugawa Michiru: Manager, help him out.
Help him so that he'll find his special someone really.

Manager: Uh...okay....

Arisugawa Michiru: But it's strange.
I thought Ren was interested in you....

Manager: I said that's not true.

Arisugawa Michiru: Right? He really doesn't have feelings for you right?
Or.....
Maybe he's hiding his feelings.

Manager: Not at all. Other than that, Ren isn't the type to hide those things.

Ren: What are you two doing?

Manager: Ren!

(I don't know when he got here, but he was glaring at Arisugawa Michiru and was heading towards us.)

Ren: Why are you associating with this jerk?
Go inside.

(Ren grabbed my hand and tried to get me inside.)

Manager: Wait Ren!
Michiru is heartbroken over the headlines that you created.
And even still he's concerned for you, but what's wrong with you!!!

Ren: Concerned? For me?
Not ever.
He'll do whatever he can to pull me down and you call it concern?

Manager: Really....he's worried.

Ren: You really are a sucker.

Manager: ......
Arisugawa Michiru: Ren you are still the same.
It's like you've built a wall between you and the world.

Ren: ........

Arisugawa Michiru: You really don't have anything precious to you?

Ren: ..............

(After glaring at Arisugawa Michiru for a long time, Ren dragged me into the office.)

Arisugawa Michiru: I'm...not giving up.

*Slam*

(We could hear Arisugawa Michiru's muttering, but Ren didn't pay any attention at all and instead he slammed the door.)

Ren: ............

Manager: Ren....?

Ren: .......won't happen again.

Manager: ?

Ren: I won't let something like that happen again.
Can't let it happen twice.....

Manager: .....

(It sounded like he was reminding himself of something, he sounded distressed and sad.)

Ren: Never....not the precious things in my life....

(Ren continued to talk to himself.)
(And I just looked at Ren silently.)

31. Night of Fireworks

(He came home later than expected.)

Manager: Came..... back?

(It's dark inside.)
(There is nobody here and it's too quiet.)

Manager: Touya? Is there anybody?
You told me to come early...

Touya: Right here!

(Touya in the veranda pulled out his head and answered.)
(There is a heart-shaped candle ring in the veranda.)

Touya: Sit over here!

Manager: Why a party all of a sudden?

Touya: It's a celebration, just because.
I think, I am who I am all because of you.

Manager: Because of me?

Touya: I ran away from home without knowing where to go, then I met you. You accepted me without questions.
It would have been impossible if it were other agencies.

Manager: ...........are you trying to say that this place is second tier?

Touya: NO! That's not what I'm saying!!!
It was all possible because I met you.
We've been through many things together till now.

Manager: Being boyfriend and girlfriend meeting because of debt... of course, there have been many events other than the debt.

Touya: That's why I like this place.
We sure went through many things together even though the time we spent together is not that long.

(I feel the same.)

Touya: Meeting many different kinds of people, going through many different kinds of things...
All those things were meaningful to me because you were next to me.

Manager: ......

Touya: I want to be with you forever.
As more than just a friend.

Manager: Is this what I think it is?

Touya: Yes, I think so.
Manager. I like you.
And I love you.

Manager: Oh......

*POP~!! POP~!!!*
*SWISH POP!!*

(Fireworks went off in the sky as Touya confessed.)

Manager: Oh..? What is this? Fireworks?

Touya: Perfect timing!
I set it up at the veranda, and it worked!

Manager: Pretty......

(I watched the fireworks with Touya.)
(Without even being aware of our surroundings we shared a warm moment watching the fireworks, hand in hand.)
(Oh...... come to think of it...)

Manager: Touya

Touya: Yes?

(When Touya turned around, I just clung to him and stood tiptoed to kiss him.)

*POP~!! POP~!!*

(We clung for long while as the fireworks continued to go off.)
(After we came apaer, I told blank-faced Touya with a smile.)

Manager: This is. My answer.



Manager: Touya!! Does this need washing?

Touya: Just leave it there.
I'm gonna hand wash them later.
Breakfast is ready!

(Several days after hearing Touya's confession.)
(Something changed between us...)
(Well, actually because we were in a delicate situation, it seemed nothing changed that much.)

Manager: Hmm... really.

(If something did changer, maybe it's that we go to places without hesitation?)

*Ding dong, ding dong~*

Touya: Who could that be?
Who is it?

Asano Ryosuke: It's me.

Touya: No...
Who invited you? Go away! I ain't gonna open the door.

Asano Ryosuke: Dad and grandpa are here too. Open the door.

Touya: What?

(There came Touya's older brother, a sharp looking middle-aged man, and an old gentleman.)

Touya: Dad... Grandpa...

Touya's Father: I heard everything from Ryosuke.
You lived here after leaving home?

Touya: Er...that's....

Touya's Father: Hmm...
Let's go back.

Touya: Huh?

Touya's Father: Come out, there is a car waiting for you.
I don't want you to stay in a place like this anymore.
Let's go home.

Touya: No, I'm not leaving!!!

Touya's Father: Touya!!!

Touya: I know everything.
Why do I have to go back there?
That's not my home! It's not!

Touya's Father: Touya? What's that...

Touya: ......Touya. What is this...

(The mood suddenly got depressing.)

If I become a star one day, I can find my real family.

Touya's Father: ......Touya. What is this...

(The mood suddenly got depressing.)

Touya's Grandfather: ..................
Ryosuke...you!!!

Asano Ryosuke: You... you...

Touya's Grandfather: You... you...
You bastard!!!!
*POW! POW! POW POW POW!!*

(The old gentleman turned into a monster and started to beat up Touya's brother.)
(What's more surprising was that Touya's brother who was so charismatic was just cringing while being beaten up.)
(The old gentleman turned into a monster and started to beat up Touya's brother.)
(What's more surprising was that Touya's brother who was so charismatic was just cringing while being beaten up.)
(......that's why a family is amazing.)

Touya's Grandfather: You, bastard!!
I told you to end teasing Touya once he grows up but you're still like this!!!

*POW POW POW POW!!!*

Asano Ryosuke: ......sorry to be like this, while we are meeting for the first time.
I'm sorry but couldn't help it. He is so gullible that he always fell for my joke.
Look at him how cute he is!!

Touya: ....what?

Touya's Father: ...... Sorry to be like this, while we are meeting for the first time.

Manager: No, well... I'm fine...

Touya's Father: Ryosuke liked teasing Touya since he was little... It's nothing else but Ryosuke's way of showing affection.
Please do not believe that he is an orphan. Touya is my son for sure...
It's embarrassing to talk about this.

Touya: I'm really your son?! You are lying! I am not gonna fall for this again.
Seriously, I don't look like anyone in the family.
I look different and I'm the only one who is not smart.

Touya's Father: Touya...

Touya: Pretty sure, I'm adopted.
I am not gonna fall for it this time, NEVER!!

Touya's Father: Oh ho. Talking like this, it seems you thought a lot.
Ryosuke! You come home for a while and think about what you did.
This is not something to lie about. How come...

Asano Ryosuke: ...I'm sorry.

(Touya's brother cannot budge in front the elders in his family.

Touya's Father: Touya. You're my son.

Touya: You are lying!
You are lying!

Touya's Father: ......you leave me no choice.
Dad, do you have his picture?

Touya's Grandfather: If it's the one taken with your mom, I always carry it in my wallet.
Do you want me to take it out?

Touya's Father: Here, Touya. Look at this picture.

Touya: I'm not interest in an old picture of grandpa...
Ah...

(This picture...... nobody can deny this looks just like Touya!!)
(If Touya grows like this, it will be him in his mid 20's.)
Touya: Is this really you, grandpa?
You in this picture look like me...

Touya's Father: I, my brother and sister take after mother... but you look like my father so he especially liked you.

Touya: This means...
I'm not an orphan???
You are my real family?

(Touya asked with a crying voice.)

Touya: What's this!!!

(And he suddenly got angry.)

Touya: After all, my worries, anger and sorrow were for nothing?!
All that agony, pain, and torment for nothing?
And it's all because of YOU!!! Ryosuke!!! HATE YOU!!!

(...Touya's thundering yelling spread throughout the office.)
(And he ran into his room.)

Touya's Father: ...well, well. He's just too upset.
But... I've heard that you are dating out Touya?

Manager: Oh! That's, that's...
Touya's Father: I'm not going to say anything. It's all that Ryosuke's doing.
Young Touya probably thought about it a lot.

Manager: .....

(I can't deny that Touya has been thinking a lot.)

Touya's Father: I want to ask you to take care of Touya for a while.
It's not gonna solve anything if we just take him. It might be a good idea for him to do the thing he loves.
And TV suits Touya well too.

Manager: Oh...? Then Touya can continue to be in the business......?!

Touya's Father: Well, we'll go back for the day.
But still we'll come back frequently since my son is here. So hope you don't treat us coldly.

(And they left right away.)
(Of course, Touya's brother was.. dragged out.)
(Well, then..... Should not need to comfort Touya.)

*Knock knock*

(There is no answer to the knock.)
(I went in without permission.)

Manager: What is this? Touya, are you still mad?
But still you know  they're your real family... so don't you like it?

Touya: Don't know. I am just sad that I went overboard.

(I held Touya from the back.)

Touya: Oh uh...!!

Manager: But I still like it.

Touya: ......excuse me?

Manager: Touya is not alone... but he has a family.
Didn't they seem to like Touya?
Congratulations on finding your family.

Touya: I have a good feeling about today's shoot. I think I did well!

Location: Paradise Films
Job: Filming a Musical

Touya: I have a good feeling about today's shoot. I think I did well!

Touya: Hehe...

Man: What is the reason?! Explain!!!
Woman: You made a big mistake...! I saw it! I saw you in the car with that woman!!
Man: What... ?!
Manager: Wow...this is just like a soap opera. If there were cameras around, I would think it was a filming set for a soap opera.

Ren: It's not even that much, but you attacked me for it...you must be in a rut.

Manager: ...one, two, three...wait, what? You're saying it's not that much... ?!
Ren, your standard of 'a lot' is off. This is definitely a whole lot of money...
