The next morning, Tohsaka Rin sneaked out of Nanaya's room.
She planned to sneak back to her room and pretend nothing happened.
Since the person sharing the room with him was his younger sister, Elle, who knew his secret, he didn't have to worry about the consequences of not coming home all night.
"Well... it's nice to just hug each other like this sometimes. Without those weird clothes, it's quite romantic to just hug each other and sleep, isn't it?"
Rin muttered to herself as she left the room.
It's probably because they've been separated for a long time.
Although she didn't wear anything strange last night, both she and Nanaya were in very good spirits.
If I had to use one word to describe the interaction between the two people throughout the evening, it would probably be turbulent.
Well, it's "big" instead of "breasted", after all, Rin's current body shape...
"It's okay, as long as Nanaya develops it... Anyway, Tohsaka Rin, come on!"
Rin clenched his fists in the corridor to encourage himself.
The girl's face was rosy at this time, full of the charm of a mature woman.
Although she had slept, her face was still filled with the unconcealable spring charm.
"What are you going to cheer for?"
"Alas--!"
Rin jumped at the sudden question, and when she turned around she saw Sakura standing behind her.
The other person's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his whole body exuded a resentment so strong that it almost turned into substance.
"Sakura, you didn't sleep last night? I see you have dark circles around your eyes."
Although Rin was frightened by Sakura's purple eyes, she still pretended to be calm and greeted her.
Sakura sneered: "Haha, is a little girl like you worthy of me not sleeping?"
This is the truth.
After making sure that Rin would not go back to her room last night, Sakura went back to bed.
She did not act like Aunt Xue, banging on the door while shouting, "If you have the guts to steal a man, you have the guts to open the door."
Nor did she follow the example of a certain black-haired girl who kicked open the rooftop door to catch her husband and his mistress in the act while they were fighting on the rooftop.
We are all adults, and we need to be mature and steady when doing things.
So, Sakura naturally went back to her room to sleep.
Of course, Sakura's sleep was definitely not very restful.
And in order not to miss the opportunity of Rin returning to her room in the morning, Sakura got up at 4 o'clock and squatted in the corridor.
Of course Rin wouldn't know these things, but that didn't stop her from feeling Sakura's resentment.
Sakura just stood in the corridor, looking straight at Rin.
"Rin, where did you go last night?"
After a long while, Sakura finally asked.
"I...I just got up early in the morning and went out for a walk." Rin defended guiltily, but her evasive eyes explained a lot.
"Oh~ really?"
Sakura dragged out the word, stretched out her flawless white fingers, and then touched a certain spot on Rin's waist directly.
"Ah----!"
Rin's legs went weak and she had to hold on to the wall to keep herself steady.
Last night, her waist was obviously overused and could not withstand the stimulation of Sakura's finger.
Facing the embarrassed Rin, Sakura withdrew her fingers calmly as if she were an acupressure expert.
"Still pretending? I can't figure out his tricks. Your waist must have been very tired last night, right?"
When Sakura said this, there was a faint smile on her face.
But even if Rin's IQ became 9, he didn't think that this smile was really a happy smile.
"Come to my room first."
Sakura said as she helped Rin up and pulled him to her room.
She had no intention of exposing the matter directly, otherwise she would not have chosen to intercept Lin when no one was around.
Sakura's room is much smaller than Rin's double room and Nana's suite.
After all, Sakura's status and rank in the crew is obviously not as high as Rin's, let alone Nanaya.
The only advantage is probably that the room is a single room, so what they say won't be heard by outsiders.
It's not that Shion is stingy, but it's to consolidate the power hierarchy of the crew.
Movie crews all have a typical pyramid-shaped power distribution structure, so the treatment of each level has corresponding requirements.
If a production director is treated like a production director, he will definitely make a scene on the set. This level difference is reflected in order to maintain the authority of the upper echelons of the crew.
If you are dissatisfied, just climb up. It's your fault that you are not the director or the leading actor, but a minor role in the production.
However, neither Sakura nor Rin complained that the room was small, or rather, they were not in the mood to care about it.
After entering the room, Sakura sat directly on the bed. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Rin with a scrutinizing gaze.
"When did it start between you and Nanaya?" Sakura asked with a grim look on her face.
"Why should I tell you?"
Rin said with his hands on his hips, unwilling to be outdone.
Whether it was the status of her role in the movie or her position in the idol group, Rin had no fear of this 30-year-old woman.
All the other party has is the identity of an ex-girlfriend.
But after all, the ex-girlfriend is not the current girlfriend.
If there was one thing that Rin and Nanaya were concerned about, it was their identities as idols.
But Rin doesn't think Sakura will tell this to anyone, after all, she herself is not clean.
Don't think that things that happened before becoming an idol are not a big deal. In the eyes of those idol fans, idols must be clean and ex-boyfriends are simply not allowed.
If Sakura really wanted to reveal the affair between Rin and Nanaya, then she would be implicated as well.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that after doing this, Nanaya's reputation in Japan will be ruined.
Although Nanaya, who has already started to march towards Hollywood, would not care too much, Rin would not think that Sakura herself does not care.
As someone who is in a similar situation to herself, Rin believes that Sakura will not do anything to hurt Nanaya.
Thinking of this, Rin felt more confident.
"In the final analysis, you are the one who is meddling too much, aren't you? She's just his ex-girlfriend, are you really going to control who he's dating now?"
Perhaps because she felt it was too tiring to lean against the wall, Rin also sat on the bed.
The two women sat at opposite ends of the bed, staring at each other.
Sakura smiled faintly: "I just want to help Nanaya identify those little bitches who approach him casually with ulterior motives."
Rin's temples were throbbing, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you are so righteous, why don't you just name the person?"
Sakura didn't answer directly. She twirled her ponytail with her fingers and said faintly, "Nanaya has always been very popular. He has been like this since middle school. You, Tohsaka Rin, are not the first one to try to snatch Nanaya away from her, nor will you be the last."
"Really? That shows I have good taste. I got a hot commodity."
Sakura was unmoved by Rin's smug look, "Don't be so proud, you're just a little bit ahead of those guys for some reason."
Rin said unconvincedly: "You are very confident."
Sakura smiled sweetly: "Of course, I know him very well. A woman like you can only be his girlfriend at most. If he wants to get married, he will definitely choose someone as gentle and virtuous as me."
"I didn't see that!"
However, Rin still secretly kept Sakura's words in mind. The other party had known Nanaya for more than ten years and must know Nanaya better than himself.
[It's not just information, this woman might be able to be used...]
"Do you think you can win?"
"What's the meaning?"
Rin's smile made Sakura very unhappy.
"You should know very well how many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat?"
"You want to cooperate with me?" Sakura waved her hand. "Forget it. I can handle it by myself."
"That's not the case."
Even though Sakura rejected him, her slightly nervous expression told Rin that she had taken the bait.
"Want to hear my advice?"
Rin gave her signature devilish smile.
————————————————————————
No one will probably ever know what Sakura Rin and others talked about in the room.
Anyway, when Nanaya finally woke up from bed and came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast refreshed, the two women were already sitting in the restaurant.
However, Rin looked cheerful with a smile on her face, while Sakura stared at Nanaya with a dark face as he walked into the restaurant from outside.
[Um...what's going on? ]
Nanaya felt a lot of pressure as Sakura was always staring at him.
When he saw Rin, who was sitting next to Sakura and constantly winking at him, Nanaya suddenly felt even more pressured.
So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Nanaya deliberately stayed away from the two minefields of Rin and Sakura and sat next to Shion.
"What would you like to eat?"
Shion pointed at the food around him.
"A fried egg sandwich will do."
Today, Nanaya was more concerned about something else than breakfast.
"Are the statistics for the premiere coming out?"
Nanaya asked casually, but he was still very nervous inside.
After all, this is the most crucial movie in Nanaya's plan. It is impossible to say that Nanaya doesn't care.
Fortunately, Rin came to accompany him last night, otherwise he would definitely have suffered from insomnia that night.
Shion went to the food pick-up area, got two slices of bread, and put a fried egg in between.
She put the plate on the table and asked casually, "Would you like some soy sauce?"
"You have soy sauce? Give me some."
Nanaya didn't expect that hotels in New York even provide soy sauce.
A sinister smile appeared on Shion's face. She took out a bottle of soy sauce from her pocket, unscrewed the lid, and poured it on the fried egg sandwich like tea.
"Forehead..."
Nanaya was left speechless by Shion's move. He looked at the sandwich that had turned completely black and didn't know what to say.
Shion smiled and put the plate in the middle: "You're welcome, I asked someone to buy this from Chinatown. If it's not enough, I can add some more."
"Enough! Enough!"
Nanaya said hurriedly.
Shion smiled faintly and whispered in someone's ear: "You slept well last night, right? This is a reward for your hard work~"
Shion held down Nanaya who was about to get up: "Don't deny it, anyone with a little experience will know from Rin's rosy face."
"Eat this sandwich and I'll tell you the first day box office."
Shion saw that Nanaya was still hesitating, so she coaxed him like a child.
"...I see."
Nanaya said resignedly as he picked up the sandwich and took a small bite.
[Hmm... my mouth is full of salty taste.]
Nanaya's whole face was distorted.
"Puff----"
Rin laughed out loud, and she hurriedly picked up the water cup to cover it up, but ended up choking.
Even Sakura, who had always had a gloomy face, didn't purse her lips so tightly anymore.
"Okay, that's enough. Just one bite."
Seeing Nanaya about to take a second bite, Shion stopped him.
"Here's some water, rinse your mouth."
Nanaya didn't have time to thank him, he picked up the cup and poured the boiled water into his mouth.
"Also, here are the box office statistics for the premiere that you requested. Take your time to look at them."
Shion handed a piece of A4 paper to Nanaya.
Nanaya didn't have time to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth. He held the water cup in his left hand, picked up the paper with his right hand and started reading quickly.
He did not look at the specific statistics of the data above, but jumped directly to the bottom of the paper to look at the total data.
[The North American premiere grossed $8.05 million.]
After seeing this number, Nanaya excitedly threw the glass in his hand to the ground.
Bang!
The glass broke into pieces on the ground and water flowed all over the floor.
But who cares about this kind of thing at this time!
Nanaya ignored Rin and Sakura's murderous looks and hugged Shion tightly.
"Haha, Boss, we succeeded!"
