Seiyuu Short Stories I

Different View of Eguchi Takuya Part 2

The second day of the photoshoot was pushed back to the afternoon because of the cold rain that happened this morning. The wind was blowing so hard too that they decided to do the photoshoot inside the penthouse we were in.

I was busy writing the detail report to what happened this morning since when we returned back to the agency we needed to hand it in to the president, when suddenly this tall man barged in the kitchen.

"(L/N)!" I was surprised that I accidentally wrote a long line on the paper

"Can't you enter quietly?!" I complained and he loudly banged his hand down on the table "What's wrong with you?!"

"I need your help!" he sounded so desperate. Is it an act? Or he was really desperate?

"Help for what?"

"You know Inaba, right?"

"I know Inaba, but it depends if that is the Inaba we both know" I answered and changed the paper. "Now I need to rewrite this page" I sighed and started to write again

"You look so busy" he said and sat down across me "No, it is not that! Inaba Yuu!"

"I know him even before you came to the agency" I shook my head "Then what is it?"

"He likes Akiko-chan" I stopped writing and looked at him "He likes her!"

"So? Then tell him to go confess to her"

"But he is so shy to talk to her. I heard that they were classmates in high school, but they never talked ever since."

Wait, he was asking for a help, but then telling me about Inaba-kun's love secret towards my best friend. What does he want me to do?

"Then? It doesn't concern me. Indeed Akiko is my best friend, but whoever Akiko likes or whoever she dates or confess to her, it is for Akiko herself. I'll support her from the back" I continued writing the report.

"Please help me!"

"HUH?!" I immediately looked at him and was really surprised on what he said "Help you?!"

"I want to help Inaba to be together with Akiko-chan even just for a day for them to talk. I need your help. We can arrange a day and a place for them to-"

"Wait, wait, wait, hold up, Eguchi!" I put down the pen and sighed loudly "You can do that by yourself, why don't you do it on your own?"

"I can't just ask Akiko-chan to go with me and Inaba, right?"

"I don't get it"

"Wait, let me explain the plan" he sat down across me and took a deep breathe before continuing "Tomorrow, since it will be everyone's day off, you will ask Akiko-chan to go on the nearby amusement park, and then I will ask Inaba the same"

"Two guys on an amusement park"

"Well, I'll do something about it. And then, we will meet there in pure coincidence. We will leave the two of them to talk. You can do that, right?"

Is he this kind of person?

"I can, but do you think it will work out? I mean, in the first place, how did you know that Inaba-kun likes Akiko?" Wait, we are talking like we are so close to each other. And why am I leisurely talking about someone's love problem in front of the person I like "Are you sure that the one he likes is Akiko?"

"Well, you are always with her right? And every time I talked to Inaba, he always looks towards your direction and fixed her eyes on Akiko-chan. Then, I finally asked him last night if what he thinks about Akiko-chan, and he said that she is a nice person but they rarely talk since high school. Then he added, if he could just talk to him"
