Chapter 180 – Yurika Toe

[SBC]

After that, I came back.
Realizing that it is also a big company. I can tell just by looking at a building with more than 20 floors that one company is using it alone.

Even though Kobayashi is a famous film director, here he is just a slightly famous director.
Conversely, Kazutayo Kurishita, who is in charge of investment in the film and the head of the investment team, is only an executive.

If only the representative was on my side, I could somehow crush that child.

“It’s amazing, whatever it is.”

If this is what I laughed at when I was a student and said, “Oh, it’s just a big building.”
The more I get to know what society is these days, the more I get a sense of the power of a company that uses an entire building like this.

At the same time, I think I know a little bit about why people who once looked down on such a large company can’t stand it and voluntarily leave.
I once thought so.

No, I couldn’t work because the company looked at me badly? Are your salaries cut? But, you still pay the minimum wage?
Isn’t that honey?

By the way, no.

“…… Oh my, that one.”
“The last Korean Mr.”
“It’s unfortunate.”

In fact, even if you persevere, the company says they will expel you at all costs. Before that, people who had some affection for themselves would not be able to withstand this atmosphere. Even though I came confidently, the atmosphere right now is somehow suffocating.

People’s eyes.
Gossip.

It’s all directed towards me, but the feeling when I’m closer to the negative side…… It is a power that cannot be compared to the eyes of the classmates who bullied them, looked at them funny, or sympathized with them during their school days. Of course, I think it was painful enough for me at the time.

The difference between only 19 and 20 years old.
It’s a one year difference.
I’m gradually getting out of the child’s tee and getting closer to the adult world…… I feel the weight of becoming an adult.

‘It’s not easy.’

I can see why adults are complicated.
I think I know why adults can’t be honest.

Furthermore.
A child’s prank is, after all, a child’s prank, and I can tell just by looking at how much alcohol I drank yesterday, Kurishita, still showing the aftermath of the drunkenness, approaches me.

The boat protrudes as much as a mountain, and you can feel the age of the old man himself.
How much beer was in it?

Haha, what business did you come here for? Surely it doesn’t mean that you haven’t been convinced by the results since you’ve grown up? Or are you asking me to use a supporting role at least by Togeza?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Heh, to build pride in the fodder. I think I want to sign a contract as an actor somehow, but are we so greedy for Japan’s money? If you want to become an actor, go to Korea.”

I said no, you piglet.
…… I’d like to say

Life is not something you can spit out as you want. Not to mention, just spitting it out like that didn’t mean that people around me blindly liked it.
In the world of adults, it was really cool to take the initiative with the right words.

“Well, money was the right purpose at first. By the way, if you really wanted to earn money, you didn’t have to earn it in Japan. Korea also makes money.”

How to say jogon jogon.
There was no way I could have such a conversational skill, but as I just lived, I learned it naturally. Besides, if you watch this or that drama, there are always memorable roles.

“What is this bastard?”
“By the way, what I really want isn’t money.”

Of course, money matters too.
I have to buy equipment to clear the dungeon, there is a chance that I will buy it. Also, there is a higher chance that the girls who are with me will be comfortable with me.
However, this was sincere.
Money is always an incidental part. I know now that I can make money somehow if I put my mind to it.

“A live-action movie. You won’t hear anything nice in Japan, either?”
“Ha, what a funny guy. Even so, what do you think will change if you appear? And the live-action film is like a symbol of Japan. It’s okay to mess up a little. If only we could show that this country is still alive and well. Then, if you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot, that’s a good thing, and that’s because it’s a live-action film. A kid who doesn’t know anything about this world.”

With a headache caused by a hangover, I squeezed my forehead and tried to push my chest with my dirty hands.
I gave strength to my chest.

“Ugh!”

Then Kurishita’s fingers his, which were about to push my chest his, bend in reverse, and a light moan escapes from his mouth his.
He’s a fucking adult.
But on the other hand, I feel bitter because I think he must have survived to that position because he is such a fucking person.
I didn’t want to know this.

When I was young, I wanted to be an adult forever.
Now that I’m over 20 years old, unable to play properly in college and quickly becoming an adult, I want to go back to the past.
Rather, I find out that the time when I was bullied by Kim Hye-rin was much simpler and more comfortable.

“When I appear, it changes. Must.”

Because I can show what normal people can’t show.
Because he can cheat.

It was then.

“Let’s go there, Team Leader Kurishita.”
“…… Dae, representative?”

A career woman wearing glasses?
No, office lady? Anyway, when a woman wearing blunt-looking black horn-rimmed glasses appeared, everyone in the lobby on the first floor all hummed and bowed their heads.

Just by looking at her attitude, this well-groomed woman in front of me is the representative of SBC, and with the help of Kanna, she has just one meal today.
I could tell that it was Yurika on Toe, who had been allowed to have dinner.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Donghyun Kim. My name is Toe.”
“Hello, CEO. This is Donghyun Kim. Dinner tonight, I will do my best to escort you.”
“Please.”

They say seats make people.
I heard that he was only in his mid-twenties, but he was already the one who appeared as the leader of a group.
My body is tense without even realizing it.
However, on the other hand, I also felt that I was still wearing a suit that did not fit my body his.

‘He looks very tired.’

I don’t know if other people can’t see it.
I was able to confirm the true nature of Yurika Toe a little more because my physical abilities her were superior to others.
She covers it up with natural makeup as much as possible, not to mention the dark circles under her eyes.
My body is also shaking slightly.
I don’t know what the symptoms of overwork are, but at least I know for sure that my physical condition is not normal.

“Chief, what do you mean by that? Did you say you were having dinner with that man?”
“Yes, is there a problem? It is my decision.”
“…… It’s because I don’t see any reason to come and have dinner with that man.”
“Chief Kurishita, do I have to explain the reason to you? If I talk to you and change my mind, that’s all.”
“That… It is.”

Seeing Kurishita licking her lips in regret until the end, Toe frowned at her, and only then did Kurishita bow her head and apologize. After seeing that, he tried to sigh, swallowed it, and then walked out in front of me, making the sound of his high heels as if he wanted to leave quickly.

“You made a bad appearance with your customers standing in front of you, let’s go.”
“Ah yes.”

Just because he was cold towards Kurishita, it didn’t mean he was unconditionally friendly towards me.
It’s like drawing a line really thoroughly.
It was also true that he was observing me properly. There was absolutely no prejudice or discrimination in my eyes just because I was Korean.

‘It must be difficult, being the representative.’

It is said that her father’s illness her suddenly became critical, and instead of her first sister her, Yurika Toe, the second sister her, she suddenly took over the representative position.
Even in that situation, controlling so many people is amazing.

Further, then you might want to whine at someone. Including her moments before, Toe did not want to show her weak side her to anyone.
Great determination and attitude.

“Come in.”
“Yep.”

I entered a bar called “Oyasumi” With Toe. It was an izakaya with a good atmosphere, separated by small partitions.
It was a good place to talk comfortably with just two people.

“If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to a nearby restaurant.”

I sneakily reached for the menu board, but I quickly shook my head as I saw Toe caring about me even in the midst of this.

‘Looks like a favorite store.’

“All right. To be honest, places like restaurants are a bit inconvenient. To be honest, I don’t know much about table manners.”
“Is that so? Then, is there anything you would like to eat?”

On Saturday, she turned over the menu she was about to look at and showed it to me. I shook my hand this time too.

“No, thanks. The representative makes it what he wants to eat.”
“Then I will not decline. Here you go.”

What kind of menu do you like so much?
Toe’s favorite dish is her cow’s tongue.
This is a rare dish in Korea, so I tried it for the first time, but why is this…… It’s incredibly delicious. It might be okay if you pair it with beer.

I could see a bit of coolness in Toe’s appearance as he grabbed a piece of the cow’s tongue and drank beer.
Her face was still representative of her.

“Suddenly, Yumiya Kanna of Onigumi earnestly requested to meet with you, so I met her face her to face like this. In real life, it’s not that bad. I heard that your appearance, etiquette, and acting skills are also good.”
“Yes.”
“But. Not all Japanese are like that, but there are people who curse Japan in Korea as well. Everything has an atmosphere. Just as there are people who are reluctant to see Koreans appearing on Japanese broadcasts, this live-action film is a project so big that even the government is interested in it.”
“Yes, I heard.”
“And I am a newbie who has not been a representative for a year. I don’t want to take the risk of suddenly having to hire a new Korean actor I have n’t even heard of, just for his acting skills, for such an important project.”

Toe continued, clearing his throat and quickly drinking beer.

“The words are too direct and can be cruel. I thought it would be better to say this right away rather than spinning around. Besides, Koreans are so quick-tempered…… I know it’s fast.”

Uh, um…….
At first, she was going to meet with Toe and have a drink or something, and in the middle, use her skills her to seduce her and make her her sex slave, so that her work her is smooth.

How did this happen?
Unknowingly, I followed Toe, and a very serious and normal conversation continued.

‘Although I can use the skill right now.’

Once in a while, I…… I just thought that I wanted to get what I wanted as a human to human being.
Of course, using the skill is fraudulent, but somehow it was not rewarding.
So.

“I want you to believe me.”
“You mean trust?”
“Yes. Because I have the confidence to do it. I have the confidence to prove it. As the CEO said, if an unknown guy like me suddenly appears as a lead role in a Japanese movie, I know that publicity and advertising, and Even the most important investment, can already be difficult. However!”

I once wondered
Am I a human being who can really express my own value in words? Can this work in society?

“…… By using me, I will make it clear that I was never wrong, and furthermore, when the results came out, many people made a mistake.”
“Hmm.”

After hearing my words, Toe began to ponder. He sips beer in between, twitching his chin, and his thoughts his go on for a while.
The person facing the front for no reason was the moment when the shit line was burning.

“I’ll be honest with you, Donghyun Kim. As a representative, it is still a difficult opinion to accept. Because companies cannot bet their profit or loss on unproven words. However.”

Toe smiled and handed me a drink.

“Toe Yurika, as an individual, I think I want to trust you once. For some reason, I felt trust and positive energy in your innocent eyes. I see. The lead role… Let me do it for you. If anything goes wrong, it will be my responsibility. Well, the fact that director Kobayashi strongly insisted on me also played a part. His passion His is so great. I know it because I’ve been watching it since I was little.”
“Ah…”

At that moment, without realizing it, I felt a surge of emotion in my heart.
Yes, this is a different reward from using skills.

“Arigatougozaimasu (thank you)!”

Involuntarily, I jumped up and bowed to Toe, but at the same time I also thought that I would just like to get a job at this company and work under this person.
That’s great, being a representative.

By the way…… It didn’t end here.

“Then, let’s end the public conversation here. Can we move on to a private conversation from here on out?”
“Yes?”

Here, it was not over.
