for Advance Chapter
A few days later, on a Saturday, we were at the shooting location.
Perhaps because Yu had taken the video evidence, Yoneda no longer interfered with Yui.
Or rather, Yoneda stopped showing up on set.
"That's good for you, Shimotsuki-san."
Although she didn't tell Ayana what happened after that, she had assumed that Yui had done a good job since Yoneda stopped showing up.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you then."
"Ah, no... in the end nothing happened."
"I'm glad then."
After Yoneda stopped showing up, the filming staff seemed to be in a brighter mood somehow.
"The director seems to have changed his mind, so it looks like we'll be fine for now for the duration of this shoot."
Ayana later complained directly to the director, who now no longer had her backing.
It seemed that Yoneda had been threatening him, and after Ayana's earnest explanation he finally understood.
"Ah, Shimotsuki-san. I'm sorry to interrupt your break, but we have a customer coming in."
The person who showed up was Yui's manager.
Although he is nearly twice as old as Yui, he doesn't seem to mind that and is a sensible person who acts as her manager and has been friends with her since Yui first began acting.
"Are you a customer?"
When shooting on public roads etc, it's one thing, but when shooting in a private location like this, it's rare to invite anyone other than those involved into the filming location.
"Yes, it's someone I remember fondly."
"?"
There are only a limited number of people that a manager will miss.
While Yui wondered who it could be, the manager invited the person in.
"... Someya-kun..."
When Yui realized who it was, she couldn't help but make a disgusted face.
"Someya-kun...huh? Maybe Yu-kun?"
"Oh, isn't that Ayana? It's been a while."
When Yu was still in elementary school, he came to a filming location with his father and met Ayana, who was a high school student at the time.
Ayana, who had always wanted a younger brother, took a liking to the young Yu and doted on him like her own brother.
"You've grown so much. It's been a while since I last saw you, you've gotten so handsome."
"Is that so? Ayana-san has become much more beautiful and has become very popular recently."
"Yu-kun, you've really gotten good at flattery."
Even though she said that, Ayana looked happy.
"I was just telling the truth."
Speaking with Ayana, Yuu seemed like a reliable high school student who was used to talking with adults, and he seemed like a completely different person from the Yuu that Yui knew.
"So you knew Shimotsuki-san, Yu-kun... like me, through your father?"
"That's about it."
"That's right...But it's not good for me to talk about the past. Yu-kun, you have something to talk about with Shimotsuki-san. I'm going to take a walk, so please take it easy until the break is over."
"sorry"
"never mind"
Ayana said as she left the classroom with the manager.
"...What do you want?"
"Checking whether that producer is keeping his promise."
"Thanks to you, nothing has been done, so don't worry."
I'm grateful for the help, but that doesn't make up for all the things I've done.
"It seems like you haven't come here even when I don't have a shoot these past few days, so it's fine. Just go home early when you're done."
"You seem to be in a worse mood than usual... are you really okay?"
"Why don't you put your hand on your heart and think about who's to blame, Someya-kun?"
Yuu says with a look of no idea, and Yui replies in an exasperated manner.
"I have a shoot coming up, so I want to take a break. Go home."
"I wanted something in return for helping you. I just happened to have no one around."
"Wait a second... I have a photo shoot coming up. Right now..."
He tries to escape from Yu who is closing in on him, but there is no place to run in the small classroom.
Yui was quickly cornered and her arms were grabbed when she tried to resist, and then a kiss was forcibly taken from her.
