I Reincarnated and Tried to Become a Genius Child Actor. I Want to Quit. Chapter 5 Part2

Change of plans; there’s not going to be a part three. The author (I think pointlessly) split part 2 & 3, so I’m releasing it as one.

RIKAKO X NANAMI!!!!!!! Read this chapter, and you’ll understand.
________________________________________________________________________________

“Welcome back, you can do it.”

“I just talked to you just a little while ago, isn’t this too early for a welcome back?”

“If it’s a simple plot, I can do it in an hour. Then, read.”

When I visited a room in a certain mansion, I was greeted to by a pale-looking woman. This is my little sister, Ryouko, (1) the author of “You and I in moderato” and the popular shoujo manga, “Roy.”

Then, I went to the entrance of the apartment, and I took off my shoes to take the ma.n.u.script. Even though it’s a ma.n.u.script, it’s the digital age, so what was handed over was a tablet.

Since Ryouko is machine deaf and from ancient times, I prepared an environment where she can draw manga on a PC and advised her to use it. Otherwise, I can be confident that she’d be drawing manga by hand.

I tried to sit on the living room sofa, but it was cluttered with dirty clothes. I had to take them off and throw them into the was.h.i.+ng machine. I usually clean up the dirty clothes and wash them, but, now I don’t have time, so I’ll do it later.

I finally sat down on the sofa, and I looked at the tablet on which the ma.n.u.script was on. On it displayed the plot and the length of the script.

In order to avoid dying, the former OL who was reborn as the beautiful villain in the world of “You and I in Moderato,” tries to do what every other person in this situation—but in an otome game instead of a manga—does. She tries to live as nicely as possible to not encounter a bad end.

The reincarnated beautiful villain managed to avoid the heroine somehow, and Yui, who was with the Emperor, still got bullied because all the other female students were jealous. The beautiful villain, who didn’t like the bullying, worked hard behind the scenes to help Yui, but everything goes wrong as Emperor thinks that she’s the one who started it all. However, Yui told him that he was wrong.

Then, Emperor apologized for misunderstanding the villain, and they became friends…

Good, the first part is complete! Apparently, it’s a three-part series.

“How is it? Interesting?”

“…Not bad.”

I only told her the outline of the plot of the movie that I thought would fix the present situation, but, then, this script was made.

Of course, it’s impossible to use the script as is, but it’s enough to be an example of what it would entail in the future.

“Well, since this is going to be used, we have data now, but do we have the original work’s approval?”

“Of course it’s okay. I had to force myself to write the movie for “UIM” (2), so I’m looking forwards to it♪”

I transferred the data from the tablet, and I headed towards the entrance of the mansion to leave.

“Oh, yeah, I don’t know whether to put the beautiful villain with Emperor, onee-chan, what do you think?”

“……I disagree. That would be netorare. There are many fans who think Emperor and Yui won’t be together, and the point of this movie is the gap between the beautiful villain in the manga and the reincarnated beautiful villain. You shouldn’t make her image even dirtier.”

“Okay then, I guess I won’t.”

“Rather, Yui… No, Emperor is better. Yui becomes friends with the villain, and Emperor goes to her for romantic counseling.”

“Oh, that’s good, I’ll do that. And then, the beautiful villain is used because of the selfishness of Emperor.”

“I don’t want you to continue with such a feeling. But, it seems interesting to have the two of them interacting.”

After advising Ryouko, I went back to my car and headed to the publisher of “You and I in Moderato.”

First of all, I need to obtain consent of the copyright holder. The talk of a movie was there before, but, since Nana’s bas.h.i.+ng has been increasing, I’m taking over the case.

Unlike public opinion, the image of Nana in the drama and movie industry is even better than before.

The director of “You and I in Moderato” also praised the acting skills of Nana, and the drama was also very successful. Nana’s acting is to prominent. I know that well.

So, I’m sure that this project will go through. The problem is how quickly.

After getting the approval of the publisher and talking to the droducer and director of the “You and I in Moderato” drama, I left. I told them that I wanted the movie road show (3) as soon as possible.

It seems that, since the drama set was already there, there wasn’t a need for many things normally necessary for a movie.

After the movie was released, Nana’s image got better and there wasn’t any more bas.h.i.+ng. Rather, her popularity was heaven-piercing. (4)

“A genius child actor only seen once in a century.”

Yes, that’s what the critics said, and box office earnings climbed to the top domestically.

Although peace came, Nana became timid. In the past, even if she didn’t hide her ident.i.ty as “Hanasaki Nana,” even if she was surrounded by fans, she could deal with it. However, after this event, she hid her ident.i.ty thoroughly.

In the past, we lacked the sense of caution, but this is too extreme. Well, if she’s that careful, then I don’t have to worry.

With Nana, it doesn’t end at being a genius child actor; she can become the best actress of the century.

Everyone hates Nana if she acts a villain, everyone loves Nana if she acts a lover, everyone will cry if Nana cries, and everyone will smile if Nana smiles.

Captivating people, shaking the soul of all who see, like an old-fas.h.i.+oned silver screen star, she’s an actress that’ll leave her name in all posterity.

I want to see how far Nana goes.

Therefore, even if I’m asked to be the manager of all the child actors, I’ll refuse. Because, I want to watch beside Nana how she grows; I want to follow Nana even when she matures and becomes independent.

“Ehh? Future prospects? When I graduate elementary school, I’m planning to quit being a child actress. No way~, I can’t be an actor~. Because, it’s my dream to become a NEET when compulsory education is over.”

When Nana, who was drinking kid’s beer and eating dried squid in the lobby, said that, I fell.

(1)涼子(Ryouko); (涼 means calming breeze) (子 means child)
(2)UIM for U and I in Moderato. Raws say 『ボクキミ』(bokukimi) for Boku to Kimi de Moderato.
(3)ロードショー(roodo show); means premiere.

Side note: I challenge you all to find the split between part 2 & 3 that the author made. No looking at the raws; that’s cheating.
