Minor Character

"Eh, Asakawa-san?"

A surprised voice rang in his ears.

Naoki looked up, and saw a woman wearing glasses, braids, and an anime shirt.

Truly an acquaintance.

"Mami-san?"

Even with light makeup, Naoki recognized her immediately. The woman in front of him was clearly Mami who bought maid services door to door!

"It really is you." Mami asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"A friend came for an audition." Naoki pointed at the queue, "What about Mami-san?"

"What, it's not like I stay home every day and don't go out." Mami pouted, "Sometimes go out to relax and feel good."

Naoki said calmly:

"Sometimes how often?"

"That…" Mani hesitated and stretched out a finger, "Once a week."

You only go out once a week, so you're embarrassed to say that you're not a Hikikomori at home!

"Why did Mami-san come here?"

Naoki asked curiously.

Like Hikikomori at home who only goes out once a week, even if she goes out to play, she won't come to a crowded place, there must be a special reason.

"My cousin works here." Mami raised the folder in her hand, "The things are left at home, I'm here to help deliver them."

Sure enough, just as Naoki had expected, Hikikomori wouldn't leave the lair too far for no reason.

"So." Naoki waved his hand to shoo the people away, "Then hurry up and deliver the things."

In the end, instead of leaving, Mami sat down next to Naoki.

"What is wrong?"

Naoki turned to look.

"There are so many people, I don't know where my cousin is." Mami said confidently, "I will sit here and wait for my cousin to come and find me."

She used to be so stupid, but now she's so smart!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mami tilted her head and looked suspiciously.

Naoki retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "I think that Mami-san is very smart."

"No, no." Mami hugged the folder in both hands, couldn't help but laugh happily, and said with a flushed face, "I'm usually so stupid, hahaha."

"This is really stupid."

Naoki closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Even Naoki doesn't need superpowers, he thinks he can trick Mami with a lot of money!

"By the way, have you read the manga I gave you?"

Mami couldn't wait to ask.

Naoki nodded lightly: "I've seen it."

"How do you feel?"

"According to the rules." Naoki gave his own judgment, "You can read it, but there are no scenes that make people shine and can't stop."

"That's right." Mami's tone was lost, "I read every comment on the website, but the more people criticize it, the more I lose confidence."

Naoki raised his hand and rubbed his brows, he could only sigh and said:

"What's the point of manga?"

"Eh?"

"Reply me."

Mami hastily sat up straight, like an elementary school student hearing a teacher's question, and answered obediently, "That's… a beautiful female Heroine?"

"Any other?"

"An interesting story?"

Naoki was silent for a moment: "Why is the female heroine in front of such an interesting story?"

"It's very simple." Mami said naturally, "The drawing of the female heroine is too ugly, and others will give up reading, no matter whether your story is interesting or not."

Naoki always felt that Mami had revealed the truth about the recent popularity of manga.

"Since you know very well what other people like to read, why are you swaying just because of comments from other people?" Naoki calmly said, "Your manga isn't Yukichi Fukuzawa, it's impossible for everyone to like it, so just ignore it. Rhetoric that demands you to change, stay on your own path."

Mami opened her eyes wide and looked at Naoki, a hazy mist appearing in her eyes.

A bad premonition appeared in his mind, Naoki was about to wake up, but unfortunately he was a step behind. The next moment, Mami hugged him.

"Wow... thank you, thank you..."

"You let me go."

"No one has ever told me so much before…"

Naoki's face darkened, trying to push this troubled woman away.

"Mami?" A surprised shout came from behind the two of them, "…What are you doing?"

"Ah, this is my cousin." Mami hastily let go of Naoki, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, stood up in surprise, and introduced, "This is young Asakawa, the genius mangaka I told you about the assistant. "

Only genius mangaka can't have genius assistants, okay? This kind of assistant job that anyone could do was no genius at all!

"Hello." Mami's cousin looked at Naoki, nodded lightly, and smiled, "Mami has given you trouble, I'm Tanaka Sakura, please give me more advice."

Mami's cousin wore a suit and ponytail. She looks quite capable, Naoki doesn't know what her job is, but she's definitely way more than Mami when it comes to dealing with people.

Naoki calmly said:

"I'm Asakawa Naoki, it's my first time meeting you, please give me more advice."

Naoki thought a few simple and polite words would end, but who knew that this woman Tanaka Sakura looked at Naoki for a moment, and suddenly showed a very interested expression:

"Are you interested in making a film?"

"What?"

Naoki raised his eyebrows in surprise, but was unconscious for a while.

It's just to say hello, why am I making a movie?

So called filming, shouldn't it be a prop guy walking around?

"I'm an assistant director, and I feel you fit the character in the script." Tanaka Sakura hugged her right hand to her chest and nodded in satisfaction, "Please come with me for the audition."

"Wait..."

Naoki wanted to refuse.

He was only forcibly pulled by Ichika, and he never thought of becoming an errand boy!

At this moment, a hot and bright gaze suddenly fell on him.

"Come on Asakawa-kun!"

Ichika arrives at an unknown time, and when she hears the news that Naoki will be auditioning, a bright brilliance suddenly shines in her eyes.

Naoki said unmoved: "I don't want to..."

"Not." Ichika quickly reached out and covered Naoki's mouth, then pulled him up with a smile, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

So Naoki was forced into the audition room by Ichika, and then the audition was successful, and finally exposed his new identity as a minor actor.
