A potential pet is revealed!

Chapter 7 part 3, ikuzo~~
________________________________________________________________________________

After that, the last scene ended smoothly, and we went to a nearby bar chain store.

Somehow, the director thought to nominate Nana for the toast.

“Eh, today, thanks to you all for partic.i.p.ating the the creation of ‘My Name.’ Today, please eat and drink as much as you want in celebration of what we did so far. So, minna-sama, grasp your gla.s.ses and give cheers. I wish for the success of ‘My Name’ as well as success to everyone else, cheers!”

“””Cheers!!!”””

Nana wasn’t like a child at all. After saying things perfectly, Nana sat down with a beer bottle. When her gla.s.s was empty, she got beer and went back to the to talk about life and the world. She’s a salaryman.

Because Nana is a child actress, we don’t often go to these closing parties, bu, when we actually go, she acts like a salaryman each time. I don’t remember teaching her, so where did she learn…

She doesn’t take drinking lessons, does she?

While I was observing Nana, I saw the young actor, Kubota Shouya-kun, who played the protagonist.

Nana started, “Good work, Shou-san.”

“Nana-chan too. Especially, the last scene. I added in an ad-lib.”

“Ehehe, I don’t know if you did it well. Besides, I didn’t expect for Shou-san to continue too.”

“There was no cut, so I just continued? It’s bad for my heart.”

He stroked Nana’s head. I also want to be stroked by an ikemen.

“Though that last one, how did you do it? Even though I saw it later on the monitor, you seemed to disappear.”

“I just erased my presence and then moved away. Ummm, should I show you a little?”

After saying that, Nana swayed and her presence disappeared. Then, she moved behind Kubota-kun and stabbed a table knife towards his head.

“And, it seems that this is who knows what country’s a.s.sa.s.sination technique. I was finally able to do this, but I was worried that I couldn’t do it skillfully with lots of people around. It was somewhat easier to do because it’s dim. Ahahaa,” said Nana while spinning the knife and lightly laughing.

What teacher taught that to Nana? Don’t teach elementary schoolers a.s.sa.s.sination techniques.

Kubota-kun replied in a trembling voice, “Ahaha… Amazing.” Well, that’s a normal reaction if the person that you were talking to disappears and almost stabs you from behind. It’s normally scary.

I was wondering whether to followup by consoling him, but the producer’s tanuki came. No, producer Tanuki? (2) The overweight type with hairs that are getting lonely, and a name and body that impersonate tanuki. Personality is also like a tanuki.

“Well, thank you. This time you got Nana-chan’s agreement to act, you saved me.”

“No, thank you very much for doing your role well too.”

The tanuki offered me beer, but today I have to drink soft drinks because I need to drive Nana back. After I politely declined, Tanuki poured a drink.

“Since Nana-chan played the heroine, this is going to be a big hit, no mistaking it. Gahaha!”

“Kubota-kun’s here too, I think this will be a hit.”

“Well, Kubota-kun is a good actor too. The numbers are quite different if Nana-chan comes out or not. Gahaha!”

After saying that, the tanuki drank beer in a good mood. Even me, I think that this movie will be  a big hit.  However, this is unfortunately the sequel. The previous work didn’t have too good profits, and how good this is depends on the stuff that people haven’t seen before.

Well, since Nana did play the heroine, a lot of profit will be expected.

“Anyways, by all means, I would like Nana-chan in the third movie.”

“…Eh? As who?”

“Well that, of course as Himari.”

“Well, Himari disappears into 2 parts. There might be a flashback scene, but that’ll be at most 10 minutes.”

“Well, you said it yourself, Himari splits into 2.”

“What are you saying, this tanuki.”

“…Eh?”

“Goodbye, I saw through your real intentions.”

“Eh, real intentions?”

“Put it down, producer Tanuki. You can’t use Nana for free. Then the story will collapse, and, first, was the original side convinced?”

“Well, not yet. If you got an OK from Nana-chan, I’d talk to them.”

“Then, rejected.”

“Somehow!!”

After saying that, the tanuki did a dogeza.

This tanuki does dogeza like he breathes; he’s sometimes called ‘Bald Dogeza Tanuki’ (3) This tanuki has no pride when doing negotiations; he himself must not even remember how many times he did a dogeza. There’s no meaning in a dogeza if it has no sincerity.

“Seiza.”

“Eh?”

“Seiza.”

“Ah, yes.”

The bald tanuki sat on his chubby feet in a seiza, and we continued talking like that.

“In the true end, the final child that was born from the protagonist and the heroine, the last one named Himari, what are you going to do with her?”

“Eh, there was such a last?”

“Did you not read the original work!?”

“Hiii! I read it but it was too long to read the whole thing.” (4)

Because of fright, the bald tanuki unintentionally jumped up and hit a desk. Was this bald tanuki trying to alter the original work without even reading it? As a fan, this is unforgivable.

“As Himari disappeared, I guess you’d cry out true end! If Himari doesn’t disappear, what will you do in the end!?”

“Well, perhaps they can be two people at the same time? Look, it’s your onee-chan, isn’t it?”

“Where did the time paradox run off to!?”

“…The time paradox, what is it?”

“You bald tanuki!!”
