Chapter 5 Part2 (2/2)

“I don’t want you to continue with such a feeling. But, it seems interesting to have the two of them interacting.”

After advising Ryouko, I went back to my car and headed to the publisher of “You and I in Moderato.”

First of all, I need to obtain consent of the copyright holder. The talk of a movie was there before, but, since Nana’s bas.h.i.+ng has been increasing, I’m taking over the case.

Unlike public opinion, the image of Nana in the drama and movie industry is even better than before.

The director of “You and I in Moderato” also praised the acting skills of Nana, and the drama was also very successful. Nana’s acting is to prominent. I know that well.

So, I’m sure that this project will go through. The problem is how quickly.

After getting the approval of the publisher and talking to the droducer and director of the “You and I in Moderato” drama, I left. I told them that I wanted the movie road show (3) as soon as possible.

It seems that, since the drama set was already there, there wasn’t a need for many things normally necessary for a movie.

After the movie was released, Nana’s image got better and there wasn’t any more bas.h.i.+ng. Rather, her popularity was heaven-piercing. (4)

“A genius child actor only seen once in a century.”

Yes, that’s what the critics said, and box office earnings climbed to the top domestically.

Although peace came, Nana became timid. In the past, even if she didn’t hide her ident.i.ty as “Hanasaki Nana,” even if she was surrounded by fans, she could deal with it. However, after this event, she hid her ident.i.ty thoroughly.

In the past, we lacked the sense of caution, but this is too extreme. Well, if she’s that careful, then I don’t have to worry.

With Nana, it doesn’t end at being a genius child actor; she can become the best actress of the century.

Everyone hates Nana if she acts a villain, everyone loves Nana if she acts a lover, everyone will cry if Nana cries, and everyone will smile if Nana smiles.

Captivating people, shaking the soul of all who see, like an old-fas.h.i.+oned silver screen star, she’s an actress that’ll leave her name in all posterity.

I want to see how far Nana goes.

Therefore, even if I’m asked to be the manager of all the child actors, I’ll refuse. Because, I want to watch beside Nana how she grows; I want to follow Nana even when she matures and becomes independent.

“Ehh? Future prospects? When I graduate elementary school, I’m planning to quit being a child actress. No way~, I can’t be an actor~. Because, it’s my dream to become a NEET when compulsory education is over.”

When Nana, who was drinking kid’s beer and eating dried squid in the lobby, said that, I fell.

(1)涼子(Ryouko); (涼 means calming breeze) (子 means child)

(2)UIM for U and I in Moderato. Raws say 『ボクキミ』(bokukimi) for Boku to Kimi de Moderato.

(3)ロードショー(roodo show); means premiere.

Side note: I challenge you all to find the split between part 2 & 3 that the author made. No looking at the raws; that’s cheating.
