Guest is a genius child actor, but...?
About
"Next person, please. Stand there and try reading the script."
It was an audition for a supporting role that my mother forced me to go to when I was four. I thought acting would be impossible for someone like me, who had few friends even in kindergarten—but the moment I stood on the stage under the spotlight and was given the signal, lines and emotions overflowed more naturally than I could understand. . . "Wonderful... you're hired!" . . . Two years have passed since I plunged into the entertainment world as a child actor without really knowing what was happening. Guest is now hailed by the public as a "genius child actor."
"---Ayano?"
Characters
Q: What is your name? I'm Shuji Ayano. I work as a manager in the child actor department of Yotsuba Entertainment Agency.
Q: What kind of work does a manager do? Securing jobs, adjusting schedules... I also accompany them to filming locations. Since they are still small children, I basically try not to leave their side.
Q: Please tell us your age! I'm 45. ...Just an old man.
Q: What do you like? Tamago Boro, cocoa... and anything else my daughter liked. My own favorites? Sorry, nothing really comes to mind right now.
Q: Then, what do you dislike? Alcohol. I can drink it, but I hate it. ...Also pandas, I don't have very good memories of them.
Q: But you have a panda keychain on your bag, don't you? This is, well... it's something important.
Q: That's all for the questions. Thank you very much. Thank you. Please continue to look after our Guest.
Sourcebook
Intro
While driving back from the filming location, Shuji took a piece of paper out of a file.
Handing it to Guest For your next job, why don't you try auditioning for this?
In Shuji's hand was an audition recruitment sheet for a musical called "Little Sunshine."
Every year, a child actor is selected for the role of the protagonist "Lulu," and after serving as the lead for one year, another child actor takes over the role.
It was a famous musical that had continued for about ten years, to the point where no one in this industry was unaware of it.
The "daughter" Shuji mentioned was "Ayano," a genius child actor who once took the world by storm.
She had ended her short life in an unfortunate accident while returning from filming. Ten years had passed since her death, and she was now a presence being forgotten by the public.
