Chapter 18.2

“…  Please manage with your acting skills.”

“Impossible, right?”

“There are some actors who play middle school roles when they are twenty, since there is only a three-year difference for you it should be okay.”

Well, I often see middle school and high school students being played by adult actors, but I wonder if the reverse happens often.

Which is better, to have an adult actor play as a middle school student or have an elementary schooler play the role of a middle school student?

“Long time no see Nana-chan”

“No, we saw each other the day before yesterday and I see that you got a hair-cut.”

I came to the drama meet the week after next and met Momiji-san. I did acting lessons the day before yesterday, so two days ago. Speaking of which the drama performance was finalised, and that was why I was eagerly attending lessons. Momji-san cut her hair from twin-tails to a short-cut that doesn’t reach her shoulders. The twin-tails looked nice, but Momiji-san with short hair is refres.h.i.+ng.

“Yeah, I didn’t think that they matched the role… Twin-tails are a bit childish.”

“Wow, is your role that of a teacher?”

“Ahaha, I am also a student, didn’t you hear that?”

For some reason or another a certain university town teacher comes to mind. I wonder if it would really be better for her to be a student. Momiji-san has no problem with age for playing a teacher role, but she does look more like a middle school student. 1

Looking at the meeting room, most seem to be quite young, except for Momiji-san. I was wondering what to do if all the co-stars were adults, but it is good that I am not the only young one.

By the way, Momiji-san is familiar with elementary school students.

“Then, what role do you have?”

“Tsukis.h.i.+ma Suzu-chan is who I am playing.”

Momiji-san says while putting her thumbs up, she is a beautiful girl as long as she keeps her mouth shut. A slender figure with a short-cut dressed in stylish urban clothing, Tsukis.h.i.+ma Suzu.

“Nana-chan is the main heroine after all?”

“No, I am playing Kas.h.i.+gawi Haruka.”

Her eyes turn downwards as I tall her that. My chest is full of pads. 2

“… What’s that?”

“I am preparing for my part.”

I play Kas.h.i.+gawi Suzu, a sub heroine who is a character filled with vigour and boasts outstanding proportions.

So, I tried to increase my bust size, Sasasaki-san had a faint smile when she saw me. It is better than nothing. 3

For some reason Momiji-san nodded and put her hands on my shoulders comfortingly.

“No, I am still developing!?”

“Onee-shama.” 4

As I tried to protest Momiji-san, I was hugged from the side and all the air left my lungs. I am being hugged by a beautiful girl looking at me with admiring eyes.

“I couldn’t wait to see you again, I am impressed!”

Mayu Asano-chan is looking at me with moist eyes while rubbing cheeks. 6

She was the child playing the main heroine in the drama ‘You and I in Mederato’ Since I had cried so beautifully in my performance, she tried comforting me and weirdly became attached. Several months ago, I played a role in the film ‘Me and You 2’ making this the fourth time for us to co-star with each other. Is it nearly time for that movie to be released?

“Well, Mayu-chan’s also acting.”

“Yes! Onee-sama and I co-star a lot, it must be the red string of fate!”

Her face is near with rough breathing and her eyes-only centimetres from my mine. While it is not bothersome to be hugged by a

beautiful girl, but in this case, it feels like predator and prey and it is scary. 7

“I am happy as well, but I would be happier if you stopped hugging… No, nothing.”

When I told her to stop the light in her eyes started to fade, so I quickly hugged her back. I can call of the hug forcibly, but I feel that that would just be hurtful, so let’s just leave it for a while. When I hugged her back, her face showed great delight. 8

Part 2

“Hi Nana-chan, we are together again.”

While I was being forced to flirt with Mayu, a tall, handsome boy started talking to me. He is two years older than me and is the leader of the six-child idol group that Hiroto is in, Yamada Hajima-kun. It is my fourth-time co-staring with Mayu-chan, because I was playing the best friend of the emperor in ‘You and I in moderato’.

“Yamada-kun is acting as well, best regards.”
