Hyodo Michiru was somewhat indignant.
In terms of their relationship, they were born in the same hospital on the same day and grew up together.
So she was probably the last person to find out about this, right?
"Even if I tell you, what's the point? Are you going to celebrate for me?"
Aki Tomoya was speechless.
What's there to say about this? Why bother informing her? She can't possibly take time out of her busy schedule and practice to celebrate for him.
However, you can often hear this guy complaining that the firm's management is too strict, and that he is restricted from going out.
"That's not fair, that's not fair at all, Alan! You're so unfair! I'm suffering to maintain my idol image, while you're out there having fun. That's so unfair!"
Hyodo Michi recalled that under the management of the agency, besides rushing to announcements and practicing singing, she also had to maintain good relationships with her seniors and see if she could open for their concerts. Every day she was exhausted like a dog.
Her cousin, on the other hand, seemed to be living a completely different life.
He's at one of the best universities in Japan, has excellent grades, and recently got a girlfriend. He seems to be living a pretty comfortable life.
However, this is also her opinion; in reality, Aki Tomoya's life isn't much better.
However, he does now have a relationship that can soothe his weariness.
"...Michiru, you won't say that to me when you've achieved success. Please give me some advice on what gift I should buy."
Aki Tomoya tried to change the subject and get their conversation back on track.
The reason Aki Tomo sought out Hyodo Michiru was to get her advice on gift-related matters.
Last year on his birthday, Kudo Sayaka gave him a nice watch. Now that they're dating, Aki Tomoya wants to give him a gift that will be both keepsake and a keepsake.
"Not only do you show off in front of me, but you also ask me to help you think of a gift. Have you ever given me a gift?"
"????"
Without a second thought, Aki Tomoya responded to Hyodo Michiru's question with a few question marks.
"Did you eat all the things I sent to your dorm last year?"
Never given a gift?
Aki Tomoya gave a cold laugh.
He specially sent a gift to their dorm on their birthday last year, so it's impossible that they just forgot, right?
"...Hahaha, I forgot!"
Michiru Hyodo replied awkwardly.
There's nothing wrong with the gift itself; the recipient did give it, so we can't wrongly accuse them.
To be honest, my cousin has been very good to me.
When they first formed the band, it was Iori Hashima who asked them to find a livehouse.
It was through performing in livehouses that they had the opportunity to be noticed by professional agencies, thus successfully signing contracts and embarking on a legitimate career path.
After signing the contract, he was placed under control, and Aki Tomoya became this guy's confidant, listening to his complaints and comforting him many times.
We share the same birthday, and they didn't forget me. What more is there to say?!
"But if you ask me, I don't really know what to give..."
It wasn't that Michiru Hyodo didn't want to say anything; it was that she genuinely didn't know how to offer advice.
Whether she's ever been in a relationship or not, who knows what kind of gift a girl in love needs most?
If you ask her, unless you find her a copy of "100 Rules of Love" right now, maybe she can find the answers in the book and tell Aki Tomoya exactly what to give him.
"You're a girl too, how could you not know?"
Aki Tomoya also asked a question.
Shortly after he sent the message, as if he had remembered something, he added, "Sorry, I forgot you've always been different from other girls since you were little."
Originally, Michiru Hyodo was planning to think it over carefully, but after seeing Tomoya Aki's message, she suddenly felt like she wanted to vomit blood.
That was a bit hurtful...
"..."
Hyodo Michi was stunned. She had always been more lively than other girls since she was a child, but Aki Tomoya's words just now seemed to have another meaning.
She couldn't help but overthink, and felt like crying but had no tears left.
"Damn it, can't you speak properly?!"
Looking at her phone, Michiru Hyodo muttered to herself, "I don't understand how Tomoya Aki even got a girlfriend."
Could it be that this guy treats other women differently than he treats her?
That's possible!
"Fine, I'm not going to argue with you!"
Hyodo Michiru grinned and decided to forget about it; there was no point in thinking about it so much.
She had initially intended to say that she didn't have any good suggestions and suggested that Aki Tomoya ask others, but then she suddenly remembered something and said to Aki Tomoya—
"I recommend you buy tickets to Icetail's concert in December. You can bring your girlfriend along!"
"..."
Aki Tomoya also had the urge to throw his phone.
Are you sure this is giving him advice rather than selling him something?
Suddenly being pressured to buy their concert tickets, Aki Tomoya didn't know what to say.
Normally, he would have wanted to congratulate Michiru Hyodo on her band being able to hold concerts.
But he's not in the mood for it at all right now.
The timing was wrong!
"I would love to support you, but are we talking about the same things now?"
Aki Tomoya replied helplessly.
He meant well, but given the current awkward situation, how should he offer his congratulations?
I'm in a bit of a dilemma...
And the important thing is, his date is the day after tomorrow!
"But I can't really say anything about this kind of thing. A necklace? Hmm, perfume? How about we just buy a bag instead? Buy the most expensive one we can afford, I think we have a chance!"
"...Never mind, I'll ask someone else, or I'll figure it out myself."
Aki Tomoya felt it was more reliable to think for himself or ask others.
At the same time, he asked with concern, "Are you all allowed to hold concerts now?"
"It was a small concert, not very big, but it was enough. When will we be able to have a concert with a huge crowd like the ones we went to as an opening act? That would be a time to be truly happy!"
"Sigh, it's not easy!"
Chapter 381 Zero Distance
Aki Tomoya decided to let Hyodo Michiru go, partly because he had chosen the wrong person and partly because she was unreliable.
Instead of seeking help from Michiru Hyodo, it's better to think things through yourself.
Therefore, after expressing that as a relative he would definitely support the other party's concert, Aki Tomoya felt that he had lost out.
Instead of getting any useful advice from Michiru Hyodo, she ended up wasting the money she would have spent on two tickets.
It's not that Aki Tomoya didn't want to ask Hyodo Michiru for any free tickets or to reserve good seats for her.
Considering that it's not easy for them to put on a small concert, we let it go.
As for those two tickets, it's hard to say whether we'll go or not.
If Sayaka Kudo doesn't like it, she might have to give it away.
……
After that day, Aki Tomoya thought carefully about what gift to choose.
After considering all aspects, I finally settled on a Chanel bag. The price was a bit high, but still acceptable.
After preparing the gift, he presented it to her on their date.
They had planned to go see a movie, but Aki Tomoya surprised them by giving them a gift, leaving Kudo Sayaka a little taken aback.
"What's going on? What day is it today? Have I forgotten something?"
Sayaka Kudo looked at Tomoya Aki in surprise.
