Chapter 108: Talent

“Sigh…”

Lately, I’ve been truly exhausted, no joke. I am worn out from fatigue.

Day after day, for some reason, I’ve been intensely subjected to that mysterious acting coaching from Tanaka-kun. It’s taking a toll, not just on my body but on my mind as well.

Really, what’s with that passion…

If things like the cultural festival’s executive committee work start for real, I seriously won’t be able to handle it.

But, when he comes at me with such intensity and seriousness every time, it’s honestly hard to refuse…

Really, how does Yorimoto endure it… Why is that?

Moreover, on Twitter and other social networks, there’s this baseless rumor spreading wildly that I’m going to star in a drama with Hiragi-san.

It’s really strange…

And, after all, I knew it, but Tanaka-kun is just an amateur in acting.

Yet, honestly, what’s the point of doing that with them every day…

I know they are doing it out of kindness…

“Kento! I’m still angry at you! After all that! After all that! I told you the entertainment world is no good! And with her! With that woman!”

Sigh…

And today, too. It’s supposed to be a precious day off, yet why am I being scolded?

In my room, which should be the most calming place for me…

“Hey! Are you listening? Stupid Kento!”

Yes, she really did come…

To my home.

Miki, the top idol said to be a once-in-a-thousand-years talent, just casually.

“I’ve said it before, but acting is just impossible for you, Kento!”

I know that. I’m the one who knows it best.

That’s why I’ve never said I wanted to become a celebrity…

“The entertainment industry isn’t the half-hearted world you think it is, Kento!”

And I’ve never thought that the entertainment industry is a world where being half-hearted is okay…

But if I argue back, she’ll just get louder, so I can’t even retort…

Sigh…

“Really, what would you do without me, Kento! If I weren’t here! It’s only because I was here that it’s all right… because I was here.”

“Yes…”

“Hey! What’s with that nonchalant reply! I mean, it’s weird to say it myself, but I, a top idol, am taking time out of my busy schedule to come see you! Out of obligation! Pure obligation! For my childhood friend Kento! It’s a special among specials!”

It’s no use. The fatigue from the unfamiliar and nonsensical things I’ve been dealing with daily, and the constant lecturing from her, is making my head spin…

Actually, I’ve been feeling a bit off since this morning.

Ah… My head is really…

“Hey! What have you been zoning out about! Are you even listening?”

Ugh… I was really just zoning out…

“…”

______ Huh? Come to think of it, what am I doing right now?

I can’t quite grasp everything.

For now, all I hear is a high-pitched voice in my ears.

Huh? Wait, this feeling? Am I in the middle of special training right now?

Well, I don’t quite understand, but this seems to be the pattern.

That’s it…

Thud.

“Eh!?”

I instinctively extend my dominant hand towards the wall slightly to the right and above the person I’m facing.

Then, I bring my face close to theirs as if I can’t get close enough, gently lifting their chin with my other hand to bring their lips closer to mine.

I remember now, I must never take my eyes off my partner’s.

I’ve been made to do this hundreds of times by Tanaka-kun, so my body remembers the movement perfectly.

It moves on its own. Before I know it, my body naturally transitions from one movement to the next.

And finally, I lower my voice a bit for the line.

“Hey, you’re kind of loud. How about I shut that noisy mouth of yours with a kiss?”

I mustn’t look away from them.

Alright… I guess I’ve done my part.

I wonder what Tanaka-kun will think. Well, he’ll probably find something to critique.

“Ha, awa… hue?”

Wait, what?

Tanaka-kun seems different than usual…

What does that mean?
