"What should I do? I suddenly have two extra episodes of workload! What should I do now?"

Arata complained as he slowly lay down on the floor of Miki's house.

"Okay, having a job... isn't it something worth celebrating?"

"Of course it's a good thing to have a job, but... I still don't have confidence in myself! With this change, my role will almost catch up with Sanji and Masami, ah... What a headache!"

Arata still can't accept her unexpected popularity. But facing some things that happened one after another, Arata can't help but become worried about gains and losses.

Although the outside world praised his performance in "The Wild Boys", Arata knew how much he weighed. Even he himself couldn't believe that he acted in that movie.

"Don't worry. After all, TV dramas and movies have different requirements. Besides, aren't you still a college student? As long as you act according to your own understanding, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"However, this character looks really annoying! He is submissive to his brother and family, but he still thinks about others at all times."

"Oh...it turns out that this is your biggest problem now!"

"What……"

"You don't like the role you play, so you have been resisting instinctively. Even if the crew increases the number of scenes for your role, you are not happy at all. Am I right?"

Hearing Sister Miki's analysis, Arata couldn't help but fell silent. It wasn't until after a while that he nodded frankly, and then admitted that this was indeed what he thought in his heart.

"But, in your life, you will always encounter some characters that you don't agree with or don't like! What will you do then?"

"this……"

Facing Sister Miki's seductive gaze, Arata couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Actually... the character you are playing now, Okuno-san, has a lot in common with Go Harada in "Polo". For example... the family puts all their thoughts on the younger brother. But your character has always been

Outside the family."

"I think, actually, you might as well let go of the feeling of rejection in your heart and play the previous part as suppressed as possible. I think that now that many people have a good impression of you, this will actually arouse people's appreciation for the role you play.

Sympathy for the character. And then... when it comes to the finale, the more depressing your performance is, the more intense the feeling of pleasure you will bring to the audience at the last moment!"

When Arata heard Miki's analysis, he felt as if he had grasped something. However, for a moment, he was unable to digest all the inspiration.

"Okay, last time your movie premiered, you didn't even think of telling me. I only found out about it after watching TV!"

"I'm so sorry, I... seemed to have completely forgotten about this!"

"Now, my movie is about to be released. Please don't forget to go there then!"

"Your movie?"

"Yes, the title of the film is "Takarazuka's Blood and Youth". It is a period film about Takarazuka female servants. However, including me, all the actors have no background in studying in Takarazuka. In short,

It’s a Takarazuka movie starring an actress who has nothing to do with Takarazuka!”

"I will definitely go see it, but I don't understand why actors without Takarazuka background should be invited to play Takarazuka-style period movies?"

"Perhaps, this is the meaning of acting! After all, this play has been a classic Takarazuka play before. If a Takarazuka senior like Amami Maki performs this play that she has challenged hundreds of times, then there will be no

It makes sense!”

"Hey, acting is really a complicated subject!"

"Yes! Physical training, emotional training, and voice training. I also suffered a lot of hardships and slowly understood some of them. Okay, I will teach you slowly in the future.

!”

Arata could see that after a period of recovery, Miki-san seemed to have gotten over the past emotional pain. She also became sunny and cheerful, and saw that the charming Venus-senpai from before was back again.

, Arata, who was frustrated at work, suddenly felt much better.

After receiving the premiere ticket from Miki, Arata stood up and said goodbye to Miki.

Before leaving Miki's house, Miki suddenly took a copy of Michael Chekhov's "For Actors" from the bookshelf and handed it to him. Then she said to him:

"If you have time, you can read this book first. Although you may not be able to understand it, you should gain something from it!"

After receiving the gift from Miki, Arata quickly and solemnly put it into his schoolbag. After leaving Miki's house, Arata then came to the cram school.

"These are the test questions you assigned me last time. I completed them strictly according to the time you specified! But there are some questions that I really..."

After Arata finished speaking, he took out the exercises he had completed during this period from his schoolbag and handed them to Mr. Ito.

"50 points! It seems that there has been a lot of progress!"

"You said that, I really..."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is still nearly a year left. I think we should be able to make adequate preparations. But before that, I need you to confirm one thing first! That is which subjects you plan to choose for the central examination.

suject?"

"Central exam?"

"Yes! The central examination is the first obstacle for you to get to Dongda. If you cannot meet the score required by Dongda, you will not be able to participate in the second examination held by the school! So, do you hear clearly?

?”

"Hey, I understand!"

"So, according to the situation related to Dongda, liberal arts admissions are divided into liberal arts category I, liberal arts category II, and liberal arts category III. Among them, the first category studies law, the second category studies economics, and the third category is history and geography. If you

If you want to study in the Faculty of Law at Tokyo University, you must first enter the liberal arts category. After studying there for two years, you can actually transfer to the Faculty of Law."

"Eh? Is it so complicated?"

"Yes, and the literature category stipulates that liberal arts, mathematics, foreign languages, citizenship, and country are required subjects, so you need to add history and geography. The total score is 900 points!"

"Um... I'm sorry, but... can I also take the Chinese test as a foreign language?"

Arata looked at the elective subjects that appeared on the examination subject list with some surprise, and then asked Mr. Ito in confusion:

"Chinese is not that difficult! But have you ever studied Chinese before?"
Chapter completed!
