"Mika, goodbye..."

After saying the last line, a line of tears flowed down the corner of Arata's eyes. Director Imai, who was sitting behind the monitor, couldn't help but burst into tears. It wasn't until a long time later that he remembered that he had finished filming this scene.

"Okay, that's enough, let's take a rest!"

"oh!"

As a burst of cheers came from the scene, Arata sat up from the bed. Immediately afterwards, the staff brought a bouquet of flowers and gave it to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Arata! We finally finished filming the last scene!"

“I learned a lot from being able to work with everyone there!”

Arata took the bouquet and solemnly thanked everyone, and then everyone gathered over to congratulate him on finishing the scene. Arata also thanked the crew again and again, and then talked a lot excitedly.

Words of gratitude.

"I finally finished shooting the scene for "Koisora", and now I have to go back to Tokyo to meet with Sanji to prepare for the wild boar scene. Arata was thinking about it while greeting his work partners one by one.

When he passed by Gakki, Arata suddenly asked for a gift from Ryoko and then gave it to her."

"I will go to Tokyo this afternoon. I give this to you. If there is a chance in the future, let's play wild football together!"

"Well, are you going back so soon?"

"Yes, I still have work waiting for me over there, and there are also important things waiting to be dealt with at home. It's such a pity that I can no longer stay in Oita Prefecture and work with you..."

"Eh..."

Gakki does seem a little disappointed. In the past few days, Arata will go to see her whenever he has time. Sometimes it is to play basketball, and sometimes it is just to chat. Originally, Gakki thought that such days would continue for a long time, but

But she didn't expect that the day of separation would come so quickly. After all, she was in a foreign land, and she and Arata were the only good friends. Now that they were about to say goodbye all of a sudden, Gakki felt a little empty in her heart.

"What's wrong? You look a little reluctant to let me go!"

As Shinta spoke, he reached out and messed up Gakki's hair, and Gakki forced himself to smile. Then he deliberately pretended to be casual and asked:

"Ah, if I encounter an unfamiliar place while practicing field ball, can I call you and ask for advice?"

"Of course, even if it's for other things, even if I stay up all night chatting with you, there's absolutely no problem! When you return to Tokyo, let's find time to go to the practice range together and try it out!"

"Um!"

As Gakki spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Arata's palm. Immediately afterwards, Liangzi hurried over and gave Gakki a hug. After saying goodbye, the two walked out of the studio together. The outside had already stopped.

They got off a car waiting to take them back.

Watching Arata's car gradually go away, Gakki didn't know why, but suddenly felt a deep sense of loneliness. And this feeling was something Arata didn't have when he stayed here...

As soon as the day was over, Arata took a plane back to Tokyo. After coming out of the airport, Arata first returned to the office and met with Mr. Tanakura.

"I hope you don't mind that I haven't visited you in Oita during this period. By the way, I picked up another Yakult advertisement for you. If possible, I will send someone to take you there tomorrow!"

"Raise...Yakult?"

"Well, it's a shoot with Olympian Irie-san. I saw the plan and it's not very complicated. I guess it won't take more than a day!"

To be honest, Arata didn't expect that she would receive an advertisement of this level. Moreover, she would be filming with a well-known domestic Olympic athlete.

Arata breathed a sigh of relief after returning home from the office. When he came out of the bathroom and returned to his room, he began to sort out his recent schedule.

"The next work is to make cms for Mizuno and Yakult, and the filming of "Wild Boar"!"

Before dinner, when Junko came back from Daigo's place, she was naturally very happy when she saw Arata. In addition, she also cooked a lot of dishes that Arata and Ryoko liked. After her father Ichiro came back, the family finally

Got together.

"Ryouko, you and Arata are living happily in Oita, right?"

"Well, I ate a lot of specialties that are not common in Tokyo... By the way, Ozu-san! Are our family really going to move to Nakai?"

"This...how do I put it? In the past, because we had to take into account the tuition fees and the cost of your college education, Ocasan and I never had any plans in this regard. However, this time I was lucky enough to pass the exam and earn an income

There is a lot more traffic than in the past, so I thought our family might need to settle down!"

Hearing Arata's inquiry, Ichiro answered seriously. Speaking of which, Arata's income is now higher than that of his father. Although Ichiro was actually reluctant, he had to admit that if it really happened,

If you want to buy a home, Xintai is definitely an indispensable help.

"This is 20 million yen. It is the savings that Ocasan and I have saved over the years. It was originally used for you and Liangzi to go to college, but now it seems that you won't be able to use it!"

As soon as his father finished speaking, he took out his bankbook and put it on the table. Seeing this, Arata took out the bankbook and seal from his pocket without hesitation, and then said:

"This is my portion. There are almost 20 million yen in it. Please feel free to use it for our new home!"

Just after Arata finished speaking, Liangzi also raised his hand, then opened his wallet and poured out all the money.

"Um... I have 25,000 yen here. Although it's not much, I also want to contribute some strength to our family. In addition... I have also found a new job under Mr. Tanakura, so I don't need to pay for it anymore from my mother.

I have pocket money. Oh, by the way, I can donate some more when I get my salary..."

Looking at the scattered bankbooks and banknotes stacked on the table, mother and Ichiro couldn't help but look at each other, and then the whole family laughed heartily.

"It seems that everyone supports moving to a better house and living in the apartment of their dreams!"

"Well, Mom, I want a room that can see the garden! I want a room where you can see the courtyard as soon as you open the window!"

"Hey, Ryoko, I thought you preferred a room with a dressing room!"

…

That night, everyone had been discussing the new home, and even the future use of the room was clearly discussed. Arata, on the other hand, felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
Chapter completed!
