Coming.

What is it now? Here.

Here we go.

Here we go now.

One, two, one, two.

Hello! What are all these, Mom?

- Korean nori.

- Goodness! Honey butter almonds.

This is a hoodie that's popular in Korea.

Mom, this is a fake.

- I'm 38, you know.

- Right.

Look at this.

A Monsta X towel.

Did you see another Monsta X show?

- Yes, I did.

- With this?

- I really like this.

- You sure pulled out all the stops.

- Gosh.

- What the heck is this?

- What?

- What? Titty pack.

A titty pack? When you put this on your titty, your nipple turns pink.

Yes.

- Pink

- Yes.

By the way, Limi.

Yes? When do you plan on getting married? You see I want to hold my grandchild.

I also want to hold my child.

Actually, you know, I prefer someone like Hiroshi Tachi for a groom.

Limi! Bye! I'm going.

Bye! Will you miss me? Bye.

I'll be back.

Bye

-bye.

I'm sure you've heard it from Yokoyama.

You see, we want to represent you from now on.

You mean, you're recruiting me?

- Oh, Nina! How are you?

- I'm doing fine.

Keep up the good work.

I'll handle things with your previous agency.

But won't I be excluded from jobs? I hear it happens in the entertainment You're not successful enough to be excluded.

Besides, after you join our agency, you won't just get modeling work but acting work as well.



- Good morning.



- Morning.

Really? How long were you with your last agency? Three years.

I see.

During those three years, I bet there were parts given to Suzu Hirose and Tao Tsuchiya that you could have done.

Right

- Sorry.

It's my previous agency.



- Go ahead.

Hello? Hello.

It's me.

Natsume, I hear you're all the rage now.

I knew you had it in you.

Can I see you now?

- I'd like you to be our next top

- Excuse me.

Hello? This is Akane Gunjo from Star Up.

It's nice to talk to you.

That's right.

Your contract with her was canceled, wasn't it? Just as I thought.

Right.

From now on, if you want to speak with Ms.

Hyakuta, please go through us.

That's right.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Yes.

Goodbye.



- Yokoyama.



- Right.

Here and here.

Look at this.



- My number of followers suddenly blew up.



- You're right.

This must be because of the magazine.

But you know, at first, I was really worried if I could become a model.



- Yeah.



- But the other day, they said, "You've got a knack for this.

" I also got into a major agency.

It also looks like I'll get more acting work.



- Natsume!

- Thank you.

Oh, you know, the other day, I was introduced to some really important guy, a producer or something.

I'm really popular now.

Okay, there we go! Come on.

Here's some food.

It's a delicious shrimp.

Natsume.

Yes? Do you know what a "drop

-off" is? What's that? Drop

-off.

No, I don't know what it is.

It's where the ocean floor suddenly drops straight down into the deep from a shallow coral reef.

Oh, I know that.

That's where Nemo went exploring.



- It looks beautiful,

- Right.

but there are dangerous sharks, the water is cold, and the current is fast and often changes.

When I was a kid, I almost drowned there.

Really? If you don't prepare yourself, you'll lose sight of where you are.

The only thing waiting for you there is hell.



- Gosh!

- Something bit the bait!

- Pull it up!

- I can't! More! You got it!

- Natsume caught the sea bream!

- Cool!

- Congratulations!

- I caught one!

- Here.



- What? AFTERNOON CINDERELLA I was already rejected at an audition for this.

That was when you were with your previous agency, right? This is a different part.

Don't tell me it's for a corpse, is it? No.

It's for a living person.

You also have lines.

Here.

You're also cute.

Is that right?

- Sueo.



- Yeah? Why did you hit on me? Well, when I first saw you, Eriko, I thought you were really cool.

You're really competent at your job and you don't go around flattering people.

And a woman with confidence in herself is really cool.

Didn't I scare you?

- Scare me?

- Yes.

Why? Because you're so kind and sexy.

You're about the only person who calls me kind.

You think so? Some people call me sexy though.

Come on.

Tell me.

No, there's nobody else.

Oh, I lied.

There's only my son.

He's the man I love most in the world.

I guess your son's all right.
