Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 54 I approve

The joy of Asuka is also fleeting.

"Okay, very good, let's jump again..."

"This time, pay attention to relaxing your arches; it will look even better."

"Don't worry, there's a soft foam pad underneath."

Inside the studio, the walls were covered with blue curtains, providing ample and even lighting.

Poster photography differs from regular photography. Since the portrait needs to be extracted separately, a solid color background is usually chosen to facilitate image cutout.

Most people are filmed against a green background, also known as a green screen studio.

However, Asuka's skin is exceptionally fair, making the contrast with the blue more striking and less likely to leave any edges. It is also more suitable for close-ups and for keeping film versions, so a blue screen background was chosen.

"Camera assistant, get the curtain ready."

Producing the film takes a long time.

To fully showcase Asuka's figure, Hiroshi Nakajima designed many dynamic and high-amplitude movements.

This means that the blue screen has to be laid down again for every snapshot.

This is a fundamental flaw of screen rooms, and it's difficult to avoid.

"Is that handsome guy outside your boyfriend?"

During a break in tidying up, the beautiful photographer, while looking at Asuka's figure with a hint of jealousy, leaned closer to probe.

That's great! If I had a figure like that, I would definitely find a big boss and make a fortune. I wouldn't have to work so hard.

Upon hearing this, Asuka's breathing quickened slightly.

"No, no... not yet..."

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Is that so? That's a bit of a shame."

Huh...?

Do you also feel it's a pity...?

Asuka raised her little head and looked at the other person.

The photographer said with a smile.

"If it's a couple taking photos and they authorize us to display them, this order will be half price."

This isn't just something done out of boredom. Asuka is a rare model, and if the store could display photos like that, it would definitely empty the wallets of a large number of customers.

It truly is a case of "getting a shot is a win".

Half price?

If you come across someone with such a good foundation, you wouldn't hesitate to pay up.

"Then, then I'll go ask...?"

Asuka tried.

"Yes, we look forward to your success!"

The door opened quietly, and Asuka tiptoed out.

She took a deep breath, trying to muster as much courage as possible.

calm……

No, it's fine, Asuka. Go ask her. No, she hasn't passed away!

Didn't he say that time when he watched the revelation, that I was his girlfriend...?

Ok……

This is to save money for Nakajima Hiroshi.

Yes, it's to save him money!

Reasonable!

"Asuka, is this set of photos ready?"

Just by hearing the voice, I knew it was that silly child.

After all, the shop assistant wouldn't be acting so furtively, looking like hesitant about whether to hit him with a stick.

"No, no, no—!!!"

Asuka suddenly jolted, like a little animal with its fur standing on end.

"I just came out for some fresh air!"

"Yes, it's breathable!"

She replied matter-of-factly, "Ha, ha...the weather's nice today, isn't it?"

"……yes."

Nakajima Hiro looked at Asuka with a hint of helplessness.

With his terrifying hearing, he had already heard everything that was being said inside the room.

But no, that won't work.

Asuka is, after all, a candidate, and her image rights cannot be easily authorized.

Even when shooting footage, the film and memory cards are all provided by Hiroshi Nakajima, and he doesn't keep any copies for the store at all.

Moreover, those are couple photos, which could easily be exploited by malicious individuals and cause irreparable trouble.

In some worse cases, it could completely ruin the child's career as an entertainer.

Before they become truly famous, many fans have unrealistic fantasies about celebrities, even if they know they have no chance and don't want their favorite celebrities to date.

Therefore, once a scandal breaks out, even a rumor, it can easily escalate into a devastating blow.

Even established artists who deliberately create hype should be prepared to stop at any time. How could Asuka Hanazawa, at this stage, possibly leave such a big hidden danger?

He still knows his limits.

It's impossible to lose sight of the bigger picture just to save a little money.

But if I let the child bring it up and then refuse, I'll inevitably offend her.

I decided to take the initiative to greet them and steer the conversation in my own direction.

"By the way, Asuka, I heard..."

A little gossip.

Asuka returned to the photography studio dejectedly, continuing her little ordeal.

"What a pity, it's half price!"

The photographer was still unwilling to give up.

But Asuka no longer responded.

One should press on with one burst of energy, but the momentum will wane and eventually be exhausted.

It collapses at the first touch.

Hmph, Nakajima Hiroshi, what are you trying to do?

If you really are my man, I'll make you pay!

Asuka was sulking and furious.

As dusk fell.

It was also time for the shift change at the printing plant's security office.

"Be careful, that person has been watching the factory closely, I'm afraid he's up to something."

Two security guards stared at the monitor, their expressions serious.

Kuroda Karito had been eyeing the printing plant for a long time.

As he himself said, this guy does indeed have quite a bit of persistence and patience.

It's a pity he's not very bright.

"How about I go and chase him away later?"

The day shift security guard suggested.

"No."

The night shift security guard raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't alert the enemy."

"We still know his location; the enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows..."

"The advantage is in my hands!"

"If we scare him away and he goes into hiding, we won't be able to guard against any further schemes!"

"Moreover, we have no grounds to expel or arrest them at this time."

He spoke with absolute certainty.

There's nothing wrong with that.

This line of thinking is correct. Kuroda Karito was just keeping watch and didn't do anything else, so legally they couldn't arrest him.

Even if you report it to the police, you'll only get a response like, "Let's wait until he actually burns down your factory."

Who would be willing to work if there are no results to be achieved?

Of course, if you actually said it out loud, it wouldn't be so direct; it would usually be very euphemistic.

such as……

"If the other party doesn't take any concrete action, it will be difficult for us to approve any action."

"Please think back carefully, what specific harmful behaviors did he exhibit?"

In this way, the burden of proof is shifted to you.

If there is evidence, it's considered a performance record; if there is no evidence, it's treated as a false report, and it's still considered a performance record.

That makes sense.

The day shift security guard agreed wholeheartedly: "Then be careful. If this guy hasn't left by the time I go to bed tonight, let me know."

That's just being polite.

Seeing that there was trouble ahead, I turned off my phone as soon as I got home.

When it's time to change shifts, a simple "Hehe, my phone died" will suffice.

My good brother is in my heart.

Learn about interpersonal relationships and social interactions!

He was secretly making plans.

Meanwhile, Kuroda Karito, who was lying in wait nearby, was also pondering this in his heart.

The only difference is the art style.

Hum hum……

Nakajima Hiroshi, as expected of my enemy, he managed to hide for so long.

I appreciate that patience!

However, even so, your rudeness cannot be forgiven.

No, it should be said that God gave you such patience and perseverance so that you would be qualified to be defeated by me personally.

Foolish Nakajima Hiroshi, just wait until I catch you red-handed and completely crush you.

Then live on, ugly, with this regret!

Kuroda Karito munched on his cold sandwich, full of ambition.
