In order to get a good role, it is common for actors to practice intensively before auditioning. The actors who received invitations from "Rurouni Kenshin" also showed their talents and used their own channels to practice. Some practiced literary dramas, and some I also went to practice kendo.
Even the members of the protagonist group who were confirmed in the first film did not relax. Actors like Sagara Sanosuke knew that the sequel was about to start filming, and they still worked hard to practice boxing and maintain their physical condition.
In this situation, a "good boy" like Arimura Kasumi would naturally not say that he relaxed after receiving the invitation because he had practiced in advance.
Just when Director Minakami went to the candidate actress's home to give her a role in person, Junya Arimura Kasumi had just finished receiving private lessons from Stargaze's acting class teacher.
Stargaze provides various teachers for its artists not only for pre-debut training, but also for later development, based on their own judgment, they can apply to the company for lessons and practice their professional skills.
Kasumi Arimura knows that her road to entering the company is a bit more "bumpy" than others. Even if it is to repay Hayato Minakami's recognition, she will not give up and work hard to improve herself step by step. Therefore, now she is the one with the most acting skills and opportunities in the company. She was the one who did it most often.
Like many stargaze actresses who admire Minakami Hayato, what she hopes most is to have a good collaboration with Minakami Hayato.
She realized early on that perhaps the role of Yukidaiba was the best opportunity. She was an absolute heroine, had an emotional scene with Mizuna Hayato, and had a whole movie opposite her. She was not willing to miss this opportunity.
So even though the acting class teacher is off duty now, she is still practicing her expressions and lines in front of the big mirror in the rehearsal room.
"You are really a person who can bring about bloodshed."
"No, this is too boring."
"You are really a..."
"Dongdongdong." Just as she was pondering over her character's lines, the door to the rehearsal room was knocked open, and she looked back.
"Arimura-chan, why are you here so late!" Riho Yoshioka looked at Arimura Kasumi in a white summer yukata in surprise: "You're still wearing a yukata...what month is it now?"
"I, I'm practicing my lines." Arimura Kasumi seemed a little shy and shrank back slightly: "I wear this to fit into the role."
"Didn't the eldest lady prepare a costume? Why don't you wear that one?" Riho Yoshioka asked.
"Um, that's a bit too expensive. I'm afraid of damaging it... I'll just wear this when I practice." Arimura Kasumi whispered without confidence.
The white kimono prepared by the eldest lady felt expensive to the touch. She had been practicing for a whole day. Not to mention rubbing and rubbing, it was also difficult to do it if she was sweating. She was afraid that it would get dirty and damaged and she would not be able to perform in the audition. It’s time to face the best situation.
"It doesn't matter. If you break it, just try it again." Another voice came from behind Yoshioka Riho. This voice was quite familiar, and Mura Kasumi's already nervous body froze even more.
"M-Miss?" she shouted stiffly.
Fujiwara Nao nodded and walked forward from behind Yoshioka Riho: "Since you want to practice, then put on a complete suit and enter the character state to practice. It doesn't matter if you break it, the company will reimburse you."
"B-but..."
"It's not something too expensive. The most important thing is that you have this kind of self-motivation."
It was just a high-end custom-made kimono, but the eldest lady didn't take it seriously. She looked up and down at Arimura Kasumi's current appearance, nodded and shook her head, and said: "You can't do this. Is that set of clothes here? Go and change into it. Get that outfit and then I'll do your hair."
"Eh? I'm here, but...you...I..." Arimura Kasumi was so shocked that she was a little incoherent. The eldest lady wanted to do her hair herself.
She didn't know that the eldest lady fell in love with the role of Yukidaiba after reading the story in the remembrance chapter. Now that she saw her as a candidate practicing, she was even more happy and planned to "train" it herself.
"Yoshioka, come and help. Let's do her makeup. By the way, have you read the original work?" Fujiwara Nao turned back to Yoshioka Riho and asked.
Yoshioka Riho shook his head: "I haven't seen it, but let's search for the pictures now. For makeup, the eldest lady must be the standard~ Anyway, the eldest lady must know it very well, right?"
"Of course!" Fujiwara Nao crossed his arms and looked confident.
The company's actresses and the eldest lady have known each other for many years. From the beginning, "the majestic eldest lady" gradually added "tsundere", "cute", "competent", "vigorous and resolute"... and so on. Such a label, so when they call her "eldest lady", they feel a lot more close to each other than at the beginning.
"That's great, let's help Arimura-chan check her homework together!" Yoshioka Riho clapped his hands happily as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Check...homework." The two ladies in front of them were very excited, but Kasumi Arimura was even more nervous and a little embarrassed.
Rather than practicing in front of the mirror by herself, it is of course better to have someone assist her. Even if she is nervous now and enters the state during practice, she will be like an actor and will not be affected by the surrounding environment.
"It's just..." Arimura Kasumi was still struggling: "Miss, you...will be there for the audition when the time comes..."
"Do you think it would be unfair for the eldest lady to help you practice?" Riho Yoshioka understood what she meant.
Before Nao Fujiwara said anything, Riho Yoshioka waved his hands in advance and said, "It doesn't matter. They are all from our own company. If the lady doesn't help you, who can I help you?"

"Actually, you should just ask Minakami-kun to come over and take a look at it for you." Riho Yoshioka said, "Otherwise, I'll give him a call and ask him to come over."
Why are you so confident that he will come over just by making a phone call?
This idea suddenly came to Fujiwara Nao's mind, but after thinking about it, she shook her head. After all, Yoshioka Riho was once the assistant of Minakura Hayato, and it was normal for the two to have a good relationship.
"It's better not to do it!" Arimura Kasumi clearly expressed her thoughts for the first time, attracting the probing eyes of Yoshioka Riho and Fujiwara Nao.
"I... at least with Mizukami-kun, I don't want him to see it in advance... I want to... prove myself." Arimura Kasumi's eyes gradually became firm: "If he is asked to help, then there will be no It makes sense.”
The eldest lady suddenly felt a headache. One or two of the company's actresses had a special complex for Mizuna Hayato, so she felt so defenseless.
...
At the same time, at Horikita Maki’s house, on the sofa.
Minakami Hayato was playing with Horikita Maki's feet.
Horikita Maki tried to pull her little foot away, but her ankle was grabbed by Minazinakura Hayato.
"Is there... such a scene in the script?" she asked.
