It has been eight days since Yashiro has been Kyouko’s manager. The result of having a manager is very imminent when Kyouko managed to impress both Kanae and Kotetsu with her martial arts to flip away two guys. Kotetsu smiles in approval.
He tells Kyouko that even if she is lacking in some areas but her level is already at this stage so she only has to portray the ‘Momiji’ in her heart. He also tells Kanae to do the same for her ‘Chidori’. Kanae assures him that she will get that role and will inform him about it afterward.
The two girls thank him for all the guidance they received from him. While walking out, Yashiro asks Kanae if she is going to Minato afterwards. Kanae is puzzled why he knew when she didn’t tell him about it. Yashiro explains that it is when Kyouko met with her and invited her to eat ‘gold star onigiri’ at some ‘Day Table’ place.
Yashiro says that as an upcoming actress who is always on a diet, and is very fashion conscious, how can she be satisfied by other stores except the ‘main branch’. Based on the girls’ reactions, he was spot on. Kyouko is amazed by Yashiro’s conjecture merely based on the mention of Poole Bell. Yashiro offers to drive Kanae to the place as he drives Kyouko to TBM.
Before Kanae can answer him, someone is calling Yashiro on the phone so he excused himself. Kanae takes the opportunity to ask Kyouko if she is going to TBM for a Kimagure shooting so did she already tell Yashiro about it. She didn’t know the details but she got the assumption that there was an ill-timed meeting between Ren and Bo.
Kyouko gloomily agreed and if Ren was from some dark organization, she would have been in danger of being erased from this world. Kyouko admits that she was moved into trembling when Yashiro agreed to be her manager for the time being but she trembled badly with anxiety regarding the Kimagure recording.
In the end, she still haven’t told Yashiro and just told him that it is her work as a Love Me member wherein she cannot expose her identity. After that, Yashiro no longer probe or ask anything about it anymore.
Kyouko thinks that this consideration among other reasons is probably the reason why Yashiro was chosen by Lory to become Ren’s manager. Kanae mentions about the blisters on Kyouko’s hands are no longer obvious. Kyouko thanks her for the blister patches that she recommended to her.
Just when Kyouko is praising her for it, Kanae interrupts by saying that Hiou gave it to her as ‘return gift for Vday’ since he said that female actresses cannot have blisters. While Kyouko looks surprised, Kanae tells her to praise Hiou instead of her for that panacea.
After some moments of trying to get lost-in-thought Kyouko’s attention, trembling Kyouko tearfully mentions about as if she was spied on by an unprecedented [/unmatched] destructive witch who’ll use her knees to break apart pieces of wood. Then a girl is disastrously and completely falling apart...that is the ‘tomorrow her’s fate [/her fate tomorrow?]
Kanae reprimands her for not listening and imagining something else. Kyouko asks her what to do for isn’t this, a premonition. Kanae tells her that her brain isn’t that lofty thing [who can do that?] and it is simply just a delusion.
Even if she doesn’t know what’s scaring Kyouko yet she’ll suddenly be immersed in that kind of fiendish delusion. Just when Yashiro comes back, Kanae assures Kyouko that girl who’ll also be joining the audition is no match for her.
Kyouko thinks about that, she suddenly thought of something last night. Even if she is at ease with the hopes that the producer will be fair, but what if both the producer and director knew about Erika’s true identity even if according to her bodyguard, she tried to conceal it.
If her identity is exposed and her family is the biggest sponsor of the drama, then from the start, Erika already got the role. So, is it really what one can call as ‘fair’?
Since Kyouko is looking serious, Kanae decides to take on Yashiro’s offer and they’ll stop by at ‘Day Table’ on their way. This perks up Kyouko who screams that she likes Kanae. Before Kyouko can hug her, Kanae gracefully turns to evade Kyouko who probably fell down on the floor.
Later on, they got their ‘gold star onigiri’ which had the sweetest high grade plum as filling. Soon, Kyouko is happy with her take out of ‘gold star’ onigiri and other flavors for tomorrow’s breakfast. At TBM parking, Yashiro tells Kyouko to contact him once she is finished with her work. While walking inside the building, Kyouko meets with Itsumi.
After their greetings, Itsumi informs Kyouko that she just finished her work and is currently waiting for her manager. Upon seeing a beautiful heart charm on Itsumi’s cellphone, Kyouko starts to compliment her about it and asks if she is into that kind of thing. Embarrassed Itsumi asks if it is strange for she is using it as an ornament.
Kyouko says not at all. Itsumi says that it is originally a decoration in the packaging so... Kyouko is totally confused that she asks what she is referring to. This surprises Itsumi that she mentions about it being a return gift for Vday from Ren.
Kyouko immediately goes into a blank expression. Itsumi continues to say that Airi [another actress in Dark Moon] got a totally different ornament so she thought that Kyouko got what she likes and... Itsumi asks what’s with her totally blank expression. Kyouko says about White day, that is something that totally has no connection to her or rather, it is because she didn’t gave chocolates to Ren.
Itsumi says that she recalls that Kyouko made chocolates that day since she gave some to her and the director so she definitely gave some to Ren. Kyouko says that Ren already got so many chocolates so she gave him a gelatin dessert.
Kyouko starts to say that she isn’t included in the list of people of Ren’s ‘return gift’ list so she isn’t part of Itsumi’s group who got that ornament. Itsumi asks why not for even if it isn’t chocolates, it is still filled with someone’s feelings and it is hard to imagine that Ren would ignore this.
She starts to wonder if there must be some mistake that Kyouko didn’t get one yet. Kyouko darkly asks if she knows about some 1-100 Japan Vday rules like regarding not considering the inconvenience of receiving something other than chocolates and one must return the gift.
Over the years, giving chocolates on Vday has already deeply ingrained in the people’s consciousness. It’s quite unreasonable that one must also return the gift even if it isn’t chocolates. It is simply a tendency to ‘doubling the return[/value]’ of the return gift.
So, thinking of the ‘other party’, for the men, Vday is such a burden that it is quite troublesome, right? Itsumi says that’s true. Kyouko asks if she understands. Itsumi says that she didn’t think of it before but saying it like that, women are indeed quite leading so she feels that there should be some rules about choosing the return gift.
Kyouko perks up and exclaims that there should be, right. Itsumi says that she thinks so. While Kyouko happily held hands with Itsumi to dance over this, her manager had already arrived. While working as Bou by doing some hula hoop, Kyouko is busy convincing herself that there are indeed rules regarding choosing the return gift and it is impossible that men haven’t thought about it.
She kept telling herself that she doesn’t mind not receiving a return gift especially since right now she still has something important to think about. Later on, she meets with Yashiro who drives her to her next destination.
Yashiro notices Kyouko looking too serious while holding her weapons that Yashiro assures her about Kimiko, even if he said that she isn’t that bad but that is also saying that she doesn’t have that huge shocking impression.
He can say that since he had seen Kimiko’s acting in the drama before and she couldn’t win against Kyouko. After a while, Yashiro recalls Kanae saying the same thing so he asked if they are talking about the same person.
Kyouko giggles and says that it is so. She thanks him for that strong reliable guarantee for actually, she ALSO think so. Except for HER [Kimiko], no matter what kind of people auditioned for it, compared to anyone else, she’s the only one who can truly infer ‘Momiji’ realistically without limit...
...for she’ll be ‘Momiji’ and she’ll definitely clinch this. Kyouko thinks, but if that evil destructive witch [still?] hasn’t fully use that powerful magic, how will things develop, that is unknown--
Comment: Hm...I wonder if Kyouko doing that martial art feat is thanks to having a manager or it is thanks to having Yashiro as her manager. The first part does seem to establish that Yashiro is really good at his job and he does distance himself from things that the other party doesn’t want to know about. In short, he let some private things be private.
Ah, since Ren and Kyouko are ‘good people’, that is quite good but I do wonder if in real life, is that really okay? Oh well, if some scandal does happen, it will be the showbiz personality who’ll be responsible and reap the consequence = lose his/her job.
Kyouko obviously have no more problems with the actions scenes. I think that Kanae and Yashiro are misunderstanding Kyouko’s serious mood as anxiety for the audition. Actually, she goes into that mood when ‘return gift’ and ‘White Day’ is mentioned. Somehow, I kept wondering who’ll figure it out =P
I would assume that destructive witch she is thinking about is jealousy but I couldn’t imagine it being destructive to the audition. Actually, I think it will help her in her Momiji role. It is like, she’s always the one with Ren and she seems special but someone else gets his attention/get thank you gifts.
That would be like Momiji always at Shizuma’s side but Chidori gets him. Perhaps, she doesn’t want to be viciously jealous or rather kept on thinking why oh why didn’t she get a thank you gift even if she tries her best to find some excuse for it. It seems she is having a hard time convincing herself about it.
Unless that witch is Komiki due to her connections and what else she might do to get the role. So, will that premonition happen in some way? Well, it’s either in the acting job or in her personal life.
Now, this is again wishful thinking on my part but I have a feeling that something big is up. The ‘return gift/White Day’ is still being mentioned after a few chapters. Then, there is about Bo that Yashiro might find out. I also wonder what could be something that will be ‘special’ as a return gift which isn’t a material thing?
I mean, the other return gifts are already the nice stuff that Kyouko likes so if it’s from Ren, it has to be something else. Something more special. So, somehow, my wishful thinking is that Kyouko might learn who Corn is at the end of this arc. Anyway, first things first, that is Kyouko get the role of Momiji ^^ Scans by 红莲汉化组
