>>5722856<span class="mu-g">"I'll see if I can convince Handa Ako-san,"</span> you say, handing over a business card, <span class="mu-g">"If not, then I'll give you a call and we can talk alternatives."</span>
Masa nods, handing over a business card with his number in return, <span class="mu-g">"Sounds good, I hope you succeed,"</span> he says, <span class="mu-g">"She's really climbing the charts lately. The single she released this week is running absurd numbers. Sappy love songs tickle the algorithm in just the rights ways, I guess,"</span> he adds, then laughs, <span class="mu-g">"If Madhouse wants to work with her, then we gotta do it now. We won't be able to afford her in the future."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"My, that's a lot of praise for Matsuno's Hanko-chan,"</span> you say, <span class="mu-g">"You got me worried now, I might not be able to convince her to clear a spot in her schedule if she's doing so well."</span>
It feels good to have a Matsuno idol praised like that.
Perhaps one day they'll be saying things like that about your idols.
<span class="mu-g">"Do what you can,"</span> says Mase, <span class="mu-g">"If it doesn't work out, we'll call."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Understood,"</span> you say, <span class="mu-g">"Thank you for this, Mase-san."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Business's gruelling enough,"</span> says Mase, <span class="mu-g">"Gotta help each other when we can."</span>
Chigusa has been on the other side of the sound-proof glass the entire time, probably wondering what the both of you are talking about.
Mase presses a button, then speaks into the microphone, <span class="mu-g">"We'll call it here, Chigusa-san. Thank you for today."</span>
Chigusa bows and the both of you meet up in the hallway.
