When Mizunami Hayato and Fujiwara Nao came to the training conference room, they happened to be taking a break.
Apart from the fact that Stargaze has not yet bought a building of its own, the daily benefits for its employees are very good. Even the newbies who are still in training can enjoy a variety of prepared snacks and drinks during their breaks.
They gather together in twos, twos, and threes, standing or sitting, and they are close to each other.
Nana Hashimoto sat with her two new friends, holding nothing but a glass of boiled water. She listened carefully to Yokoya Kotona's analysis.
"So, the two of us have completed the first step. I think with the little spy Zhenri here, we should be able to gain some impression points for us in front of the eldest lady. Next, we have to rely on ourselves."
Mari Hiraga couldn't stand listening anymore: "How many times have I told you that I am just a backup and can't help you at all. Besides, I was not sent by you."
Yokoya Kotona ignored her, just patted her shoulder to express comfort, and continued to analyze Hashimoto Nana: "Then, the truth has also given us enlightenment, we should not be too outstanding, you see Ah, Hayato-kun's first two assistants have both announced their debut, so many people in the room are very focused on image. Even if they said during the recruitment process that assistants cannot debut, they still can't help but fantasize, after all, this is a shortcut."
"By the way, Nanamin, you don't want to debut, right?" Yokoya Kotona suddenly asked.
"No." Hashimoto Nanami shook her head: "I never wanted to be an artist."
"That's right." Yokoya Kotona nodded and added, "That's right. The teacher suggested you to get your teeth straightened before, but you never went. It seems like you're not the type to be an artist."
"..." Nana Hashimoto pursed her lips subconsciously, hiding her slightly irregular teeth tightly: "Actually... I don't want to have them straightened, maybe... I'll wait for this month's salary. Send it down..."
The cost of living in Tokyo is too high, let alone dentistry, which is the most expensive of all. Even though Stargaze’s employee benefits are excellent, it’s impossible to pay these newbies who are still “interns” too high a salary. , and Hashimoto Nana came to Tokyo alone, studying at a private university, and still needed to save money, so it was even harder to save money for other things.
"Kotina!" Mari Hiraga sensed something was wrong with her mood and whispered to her childhood sweetheart who spoke carelessly.
"Ah, this..." Yokoya Kotona was a little embarrassed.
She, Hiraga Mari, was not a wealthy person, but she was from a wealthy family in Kyoto. Every time she took things for granted, she would always find out with new friends that this was not the case. It was really embarrassing at the beginning.
Fortunately, Hashimoto Nana was not a small-minded person, she just smiled and shook her head to show that she was fine.
Given her family background, she had already thought about all kinds of problems she would encounter before coming to Tokyo alone, not to mention that Yokoya Kotona didn't mean it.
And she feels that she is lucky enough to be able to encounter Stargaze recruiting people and not restricting current students.
Compared to the days when I first came to Tokyo and had to work several jobs every day while also taking care of my studies, I can now be called happy.
I was able to work in my idol's company, support myself, and meet two great new friends.
Yes, in fact, she was not looking forward to becoming Hayato Minato's new assistant as she showed in front of Yokoya Kotona, and she was convinced that she could stand out.
Looking at the pair of childhood sweethearts in front of him who had a heated "discussion" over one sentence, Hashimoto Nana smiled, subconsciously puffed up his cheeks, and then poked them with his own fingers.
Yokoya Kotona praised her for faithfully implementing her plan, not over-dressing up, or over-modifying her image to make herself stand out, but how did she know that it wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't?
Forget it, let her be happy for a while, the plan will not succeed anyway.
...
"Hiraga!" "Here!" Mari Hiraga, who was communicating with Yokoya Kotona, stood up as a reflex after hearing the voice.
"Come out." That was the teacher in charge of their training and an employee of the brokerage department.
"Yes." Mari Hiraga walked out.
"Nanamin, Nanamin!" Yokoya Kotona seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly shook Hashimoto Nanami's arm.
"What's wrong?" Nana Hashimoto motioned for her to steady herself.
"My gut tells me it's coming!"
"What's coming?"
"Hayato-kun!"
As soon as Yokoya Kotona finished speaking, their teacher walked up to the "podium" specially built for training and clapped her hands.
Just like high school students who saw their homeroom teacher arriving, everyone in the room immediately put down what they were holding, returned to their seats, and became quiet.
Yokoya Kotona and Hashimoto Nanami were sitting together. They were sitting at attention, but Hashimoto Nanami's peripheral vision clearly saw that Yokoya Kotona was sending signals to her.
Hashimoto Nana didn't know what she wanted to say.
She was right.
After the teacher saw that they had calmed down, he went to the door and brought in the two people they had been waiting for for a long time.
Mizuna Hayato and Fujiwara Nao walked side by side in front, and behind them fell an extremely nervous Mari Hiraga.
"Hello everyone! We are here today to choose a new assistant for Hayato-kun. Anyone who is willing, please stand up." Fujiwara Nao said as he glanced around the room.
There was a sudden uncontrollable agitation in the audience, but it soon calmed down.
Fujiwara Nao nodded and said to Mari Hiraga who was waiting next to him: "Hiraga, please introduce us to your colleagues."
"Yes!" Mari Hiraga straightened her body and responded.
She took a deep breath, came to the edge of the stage, and said to everyone in the audience: "Then I will introduce them one by one from left to right, top to bottom. Please stand up and let everyone get to know the person whose name is read next. .”
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Fujiwara Nao, and she nodded, seemingly very satisfied. Then she became more confident and began to introduce each person one by one.
"It's exactly what I said! Truth, you said you don't have the authority!" Yokoya Kotona, who was sitting in the audience, could hardly control herself.
Hashimoto Nana was very conflicted. She wanted to remind Yokoya Kotona not to move around, it was too conspicuous, but if she was reminded, she would be the conspicuous one.
But she didn't have much time to think. Mari Hiraga quickly read her name: "Hashimoto Nanami."
She stood up subconsciously.
"From Asahikawa, Hokkaido, a freshman at Musashino Art University."
"Hello, everyone, I am Hashimoto Nanami." Hashimoto Nanami nervously showed a smile that was just right for embarrassment.
Mizuna Hayato looked at her, and at that moment, her body became even stiffer.
Normally, she would always persuade herself that she had no expectations, but when things came to pass, she discovered what she really wanted.
