Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 66: Part-Time Job as an AD ⑩

Chapter 66: Part-Time Job as an AD ⑩

“Cut! Cut!”

Right now, in the studio, Hiragi-san’s group is dancing to their new song set to be released next week.

“What’s wrong, Saori-chan? You need to look at the camera when singing the part ‘Love you!’ It’s no good if you don’t. I told you earlier too, but where are you even looking? Making so many mistakes at this point, it’s unlike you, Saori-chan.”

Where is she really looking…?

The same part got cut just now…

The words I heard are true… These are mistakes unlike her.

From what I can tell, she just needs to make a heart with her hands and look at the camera while singing ‘Love you!’ in the song. 

Yet, why is she unable to do that, even though she dances so well?

And not just once, but why did it happen three times there…? 

What’s really going on…? 

This is strange…

“But that wink is amazing. Please, give us that properly. To the camera. I’m really counting on you.”

Yes. As the director says, to the camera…

But maybe I’ve become overly self-conscious. 

Since earlier, during the timing of the mistakes, she… isn’t she looking in my direction?

I turn around, but there’s no one there, and nothing… 

But… It must be something else.

Yeah. Surely…

And I must be seriously affected… 

Am I tired or something? 

Having such delusions… It’s not like me at all.

In fact, it’s becoming disturbing to think this way about myself.

This can’t be real…

“…”

Also, Miki, who is waiting, is giving Hiragi-san a fierce glare.

Why is she looking at her like that…? 

Is she getting irritated because the recording is dragging on because of her…? 

Or maybe they just don’t get along at all.

Well… either way, it doesn’t really matter, but Miki, your face is genuinely scary. 

And please stop giving me those fleeting glances with that expression. 

It’s really creepy…

Oh… Ah, this time she did it properly. 

As expected…

In my view, she’s now striking a pose towards the camera. 

But even without that… 

Haven’t our eyes met several times since earlier, Hiragi-san?

Just now, when I thought the camera had moved away from her… 

Did she wink at me?

And then, I turned back, but… there’s no one here.

“I want to win your heart~♪” 

I can hear the lyrics, but…

It feels like Hiragi-san is pointing at me with her finger… I think.

Maybe it’s because the camera angle is currently opposite to her direction, so it might be fine… 

But still, why is she the only one pointing in this different direction than everyone else?

Is that how it’s set up…?

But… there’s definitely no one behind me.

Hmm?

Well, well, I don’t really understand the meaning behind it all… 

It’s probably just pointless to keep thinking about it.

I’m certainly not the type of person who believes that smile is directed at me. 

I don’t want to become a creepy guy who thinks that way.

No, the fact that I’m already thinking about this… is pretty bad, isn’t it?

But… still, her smile is really nice. 

Truly soothing…

Even now, I can hear the faint voice of the director talking to someone in my ear. 

“Saori-chan today is a bit… no, quite strange, but her expressions are amazing. Really… good.”

Is that so…? 

But, yeah, it’s true… 

It makes my heart skip a beat every time our eyes meet.

With a smile like this, her fanbase will undoubtedly grow. 

Without realizing it, my own facial expression has relaxed too.

“…”

And while I’m lost in such thoughts, I wonder if there’s something on my face…? 

When I noticed, Miki was staring at me again. 

Her expression is the complete opposite… almost like a fierce demon.

Hey, Miki… 

That kind of expression is definitely not suitable for an idol. 

It’s way too scary.

And Tanaka… 

Can’t you be more serious about your job…? 

Why are you taking pictures of me? 

Hey…
