Chapter 271 A Heart-to-Heart Talk with Hoshino Ai
After leaving the office and returning to the coffee shop, Tokichi brought Hoshino Ai with him.
Starting today, Hoshino Ai will be living at the coffee shop with Tohru and the others.
Tokimatsu successfully persuaded Saito Ichigo, but at a price: he signed with an agency and became an entertainer.
He had no interest in being a star or idol, nor in making movies or TV dramas, but he had to sacrifice that so that Hoshino Ai could live in the coffee shop.
Actually, Saito Ichigo is a nice person and cares a lot about Hoshino Ai. He didn't intend to use this to threaten Tokimatsu; he just mentioned it casually. Even if Tokimatsu doesn't agree to join the agency, he will compromise for Hoshino Ai's sake.
After all, living in Tokimatsu is very convenient for Hoshino Ai, and she also has peers to keep her company.
Tokimatsu told Saito Ichigo about the advantages of Ai Hoshino living in a coffee shop.
In the end, it was Tokimatsu himself who agreed, because by joining the agency as an artist, he could protect Hoshino Ai.
With his qualifications and abilities, he could easily make it in this industry, and with him protecting her, Hoshino Ai could also walk on flat ground.
Another important reason is that he entered this circle, and he might meet some cute little guys in the future. He only wants to meet familiar people, which is his main purpose in coming to this dimensional world.
When Shichen joined the agency, he not only became an artist, but also one of the managers.
It's very simple. Right now, Ichigo Production is still a small studio, so he only needs to invest a little money.
He can use brute force, but it's better to use money to solve problems that can be solved with money.
As one of the people in charge, he gained a voice and could do whatever he wanted, even making arrangements for Hoshino Ai at will.
Although he didn't need to go through all that trouble.
Back at the coffee shop, Toki and Hoshino Ai did not return the way they came, but instead used spatial teleportation.
Hoshino Ai had already witnessed it, so she wasn't particularly surprised. However, she had remained silent ever since leaving the agency.
I wasted a lot of time at the firm, and by the time I got back it was almost noon.
There were quite a few guests at this time, and when Shichen and Hoshino Ai came in, Nishiki Chizuka didn't have time to pay attention to them.
However, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue were very skilled and did not panic at all. The two kept delivering food, passing each other by with ease.
Shichen waved to the two of them and then took Hoshino Ai upstairs.
This was Hoshino Ai's first time upstairs. When she followed Shichen into his room, she was shocked to see a space that was completely different from what she had seen from the outside, and a bed that was so big. She couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
"What's going on with this room? Why is it so big? And this huge bed... ::"
"You know I have special abilities," Shi Chen replied with a smile.
"So that's how it is...::"
?
"Come, sit down for a while." Shichen pulled Hoshino Ai to the bedside and sat her down, holding her on his lap.
"Hmph~ Tokimatsu, you're not planning to do anything to me, are you? Didn't you say before that I wasn't anything special?" Hoshino Ai wasn't nervous at all, and turned around to tease him.
"What's going on in your head?" Shi Chen poked her forehead in annoyance.
"Hmm... so what do you want to do?"
"Of course, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you." Shi Chen hugged her tightly, holding her like a doll.
"Let's have a heart-to-heart talk..." Hoshino Ai turned her head and lowered her head.
"like."
Shi Chen rested his chin on her left shoulder and asked softly, "Why didn't you say a word when you came back? Are you reluctant to leave that place?"
"You came back so quickly, what can I say?" Hoshino Ai tilted her head to look at him and asked in return.
"I'm asking you seriously," Shi Chen said with a gentle smile.
"All right."
Hoshino Ai pursed her lips and slowly replied, "Actually, I don't have much affection for the club president and the others yet. We haven't spent much time together."
However, I am very grateful to the president for taking me away from that place.
"Mm." Shi Chen nodded gently.
That place was naturally the place where Hoshino Ai had originally lived; for her, it wasn't a place worth lingering over.
Hoshino Ai continued, "I was just wondering if I had made things difficult for you by not saying anything?"
"Because of me?"
"Hmm... Shichen, do you not want to join an agency, and don't want to be an artist?"
Why would you think that way?
"Because you were very unwilling at the beginning, right? It must be because of me...::"
"Hehe~ You might have some misunderstanding about President Qiteng." Shichen laughed.
"Misunderstand?"
"You don't actually think he's just using you, do you? He's nice to you because you can help him make money?"
"It's not that bad..." Hoshino Ai shook her head.
"Yes, he does want you to become an idol and make money, but he also cares about you a lot. The two are not contradictory."
"I understand, what do you mean by 'time'?"
"President Saito, even if I didn't agree to join the agency, he would still let you stay here with me. It was my own choice," Toki explained with a smile.
"Talk? Why?" Hoshino Ai looked at her in confusion.
"Just think of it as me having a playful moment, wanting to try being an entertainer for fun."
"How could it be because of something like that..."
"What's impossible? I possess special abilities, unbound by this world, so why wouldn't I want to experience some fun?"
"I don't believe it anyway," Hoshino Ai said, pouting.
"You don't believe me? What can I do? I've already joined the firm."
"Why don't you just quit?"
"Hehe~"
Shi Chen chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, I really just want to be an artist for fun, not just for you."
"real?"
"Don't you believe me?"
"I see."
"Um."
Shi Chen gently rubbed her head: "Don't be so polite with me in the future. It's okay if you cause me trouble."
Just treat yourself as my family.
"Huh?" Hoshino Ai was stunned.
"Isn't this why you came to me?" Shi Chen smiled.
"You...you noticed?"
"It's possible that my special abilities brought you to me, but how could I not know your true purpose?"
"Is that so...?"
"You're quite ambitious for your age, but I don't mind. It would be best if you deliberately caused me some trouble. I'm not afraid of trouble at all."
"W-why?" Hoshino Ai stared at Toki and couldn't help but ask.
"Why? Why?"
"You know perfectly well what my real purpose is, so why are you still willing to contact me? And why are you so nice to me?"
"What? You think I pity you? I'm not that kind of good person. There are plenty of pitiful people in this world."
Am I supposed to take care of everything?
"Then why?"
"Because you are Ai Hoshino."
"What...does that mean?"
"It's okay if you don't understand. All you need to know is that I'm still a lolicon."
Hoshino Ai blinked, unable to speak.
"What? You don't believe me?"
"I believe you're a lolicon, but I'm not a good girl. You're so capable, and you don't need a loli like me."
"Who told you to be so cute?"
There are so many cute girls...
"But Hoshino Ai only has you."
Shi Chen interrupted her, pressed his forehead against hers, and said earnestly, "You don't need to think so much. Just know that I will definitely treat you well and will definitely meet your needs."
"Your timing is really strange." Hoshino Ai suddenly laughed.
"I think so too."
"Hmph~ Toki, you're not already bewitched by me, are you? Then can you teach me magic?" Hoshino Ai separated from him, showing him the back of her head.
"I'm not captivated by you yet~" Shichen denied: "It's impossible for you to captivate me until you become a dazzling existence."
'
"I understand... I will definitely become the most dazzling existence!" Hoshino Ai said firmly.
"Keep it up!" Shi Chen encouraged her, rubbing her head.
"Hey, Shichen, are you really... going to fulfill all my requests?"
"What? You already have some ideas?"
"No... I'm just checking."
"Yes, really." Shi Chen nodded, his chin resting on her head.
"So... Shi Chen isn't just saying nice things on purpose to get me to throw myself into his arms, is he?"
"Tch~ You little brat, you have nothing, who wants you throwing yourself at them?"
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, I'll definitely develop!" Hoshino Ai retorted defiantly.
"Really? Then I'll look forward to it."
"You just wait!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Shi Chen gently hugged her.
"Can I... stay like this for a while?" Hoshino Ai asked softly.
"Hmm, there's still plenty of time before lunch."
"I understand." Hoshino Ai grabbed Toki's hands, wrapped them around her waist, and held them tightly. Then she closed her eyes and leaned against Toki's chest.
Having lacked love, she finally felt enveloped in it.
