Chapter 33 Desire as a Motivation
"Nakajima, what's the occasion today? Why are we eating so well?"
Asuka puffed out her cheeks until they were round and full, then lifted her sleeve: "They even bought me new clothes. Are these for future performances?"
"No, there are special stage costumes for the performance."
"today……"
Nakajima Hiroshi really hadn't come up with a good reason yet.
Regarding helping Asuka develop a sense of purpose, there's no time like the present; every day earlier is worse than none.
Moreover, there are still some aspects of the stage effects and song details that he needs to work on, and he can take this opportunity to think them through today.
So I simply took Asuka out for a trip, let her experience some material comforts, and let her see what other people's career plans are like. This is also the standard procedure in the industry to motivate newcomers.
There are professional terms for this: "desire motivation" and "goal visualization".
But he can't openly say that this trip is just to build your mindset, so he has to find an excuse.
Excuses...
Speaking of which, there's a very famous crazy Thursday in my hometown...
That's obviously not very suitable either.
"You should eat too."
Asuka cut off a piece of steak and grabbed it, bringing it directly to Nakajima Hiro's mouth: "Ah... open your mouth."
Steak should be eaten with a knife and fork...
Forget it.
Nakajima Hiro smiled; today was not a good day for teaching.
This is fine too.
He obediently opened his mouth, and only then was Asuka satisfied, and she continued to eat heartily.
With this interruption, the previous question was easily brushed aside. It seems that Asuka was just chatting excitedly and didn't really need any reason.
At that moment, a violinist walked with elegant steps and smiled at Nakajima Hiroshi.
This is an attempt to ask, "Would you like me to perform a song for you two?"
They usually cater to couples, providing exclusive performances.
In slightly more upscale places, musicians would never disturb guests casually. They would always first make eye contact to gauge the man's feelings, and only after receiving his permission would they approach him to chat.
This is to avoid putting guests on a pedestal and creating the feeling of forced consumption.
Nakajima Hiroshi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Although he and Asuka were not lovers, having the opportunity to let her appreciate some musical instrument playing was at least a learning opportunity for her.
If she wants to become an outstanding artist in the future, these experiences may become valuable material or inspiration.
"Sir, would you like to dedicate a song to your lady?"
Only after receiving Nakajima Hiroshi's approval did the musician actually approach to ask questions.
"Asuka, would you like to hear a professional violin performance?"
Nakajima gave the choice to Asuka.
My female companion...
That sounds pretty good.
Asuka nodded to Nakajima Hiroshi while taking a bite of her steak.
She was clearly not very interested in the performance itself.
Thank you for your trouble.
A professional violinist is very captivating; her body sways slightly with the music, and she maintains a charming smile throughout.
Most of the time, it faces the Tomorrow Flower.
Even though the child kept chewing...
This is indeed not a common situation.
In places like this, girls who receive song requests are usually lost in romance.
Most of the time they would look at their men, and occasionally they would make eye contact with the violinist.
However, even the musician felt a little envious looking at the man's helpless yet doting expression.
That's great! I also wish I had a man to protect me, so I wouldn't have to resort to street performances...
Her mind was also filled with rather outrageous thoughts.
When the music ended, she bowed gracefully.
The woman then turned to Nakajima Hiroshi.
"A fantastic performance."
He clapped his hands.
Asuka also raised her steak knife.
"Yes, sister is great!"
"Thank you both for your appreciation. It is my honor to perform in place of your female partner."
Nakajima Hiroshi timely placed two thousand yen into the violin case.
I've been financially well-off lately, so I can still afford to give occasional tips.
Eh... two thousand yen...
Asuka opened her mouth, her heart aching terribly.
But the thought that it was a gift from Nakajima Hiroshi brought him a touch of joy amidst the pain.
This child wears his heart on his sleeve.
Hiroshi Nakajima smiled and shook his head.
To be honest, he prefers these pure and simple reactions to deliberately training a perfect smile.
Even setting aside the fact that it broadened Asuka's horizons, the trip was well worth it just for the chance to relax a little.
"call……"
Super public bathhouse... which is inside a hot spring resort.
Asuka was wrapped in a bath towel, feeling incredibly relaxed.
I spent the afternoon with Hiroshi Nakajima; this was my first time alone with him.
It wasn't exactly alone; the therapist's slender fingers gently massaged along the corners of her shoulders.
"relax……"
"The client has such perfect physique; has she undergone rigorous physical training?"
Faced with praise from women, Asuka became even more flustered.
"No, it's innate..."
She paused halfway through her sentence.
It always feels like some kind of showing off...
I don't know when it started, but Asuka began to care about what other people thought.
Or rather, she wanted to project a more sophisticated image.
In the past, she could have confidently used her figure and appearance as her core advantages and flaunted them without hesitation.
I don't want to think about it anymore, let me enjoy the massage from the therapist first!
That guy was obviously very tired, so let him rest for a while.
"Waaah..."
As the healer applied gentle pressure, Asuka couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.
Hiroshi Nakajima got such a good rest.
"Yes, two tickets. Money is no problem, but the seats have to be good..."
He lazily hung up the phone, contentedly enjoying the service.
Next, I'll show Asuka some of other people's program details.
With Yoshioka Shigeru's introduction, he easily found... scalpers.
In events like this, the best seats are usually sold to groups that specialize in judging newcomers, so they never end up on the market.
However, unlike here, Tokyo has legal second-hand ticket shops, also known as "Ticket Shops".
As long as you are a familiar channel, they will do their best to meet your needs.
Of course, the price is very expensive.
The handsome guy in front of you must be very rich to be willing to use this kind of contact method.
and so……
"guest."
Seeing that he had finished his work, the masseuse then put his head on her lap.
"I see you brought a female companion today, so perhaps this isn't convenient."
"Actually, here we are..."
The small, soft, and comfortable hands professionally helped Nakajima Hiroshi relieve his fatigue.
However, I definitely won't come again next time.
If Nakajima Hiroshi had known this place wasn't very reputable, he would definitely have gone to another one.
This will corrupt Asuka.
At least when you're with that child, you need to be more careful...
Seeing the guest's reaction, the therapist squinted and leaned close to Nakajima Hiroshi's ear.
"I am number five, Noriko."
"Guest, will you remember me?"
The scents of the body scrub and deodorant mingled together; it was indeed too cunning.
"Thank you for the recommendation, but this is indeed inappropriate..."
Let's make our refusal clear.
This business ultimately didn't quite align with Nakajima's values.
……
"Nakajima, is it just my imagination?"
Asuka, looking at Nakajima with suspicion, said, "I feel like you look even more tired."
"What do you do at night? You need to get some rest."
The girl was completely unaware of her own behavior; she was already behaving somewhat like the mistress of the house.
Nakajima Hiroshi's expression froze.
Cough cough, tonight...
That's a topic you absolutely can't touch.
Fortunately, there were disclosures that allowed them to shift the focus of criticism.
Yes, firepower...
