Profile
"Good Moli! Do you want to become my little bread roll?"

- Mari

At the mention of Mari, a rising star under his own hand, the senior opposite me grabbed another cup of boba tea and forcefully took a big gulp. As far as I know, he definitely doesn't drink this stuff? He also has never praised any newcomer before. After all as talent scouts, we must judge everything without being reserved or excessive. But now everything has changed. Ever since he went near that red-eyed girl called Mari, he completely out of character began to consider which store's boba tea suits her tastes best and which cute young actor he should decide to be Mari’s partner today. The wisdom in his eyes has gone, turning instead into a powerful fanaticism. He definitely was always a level-headed person before. It’s not that I didn't suspect if she made the senior ingest a drug, but she is clearly a good girl, clever, polite, graceful and dignified like a noblewoman, which vexes me. Should I give this valuable chance I have on hand to go to the VirtuaReal headquarters to her? I originally wanted to leave it to the actor I cultivated, but she said she wanted it... The opportunity can be fought for next time! You see, this ever so cute Mari even said thank you and bowed to me. God, this is too awesome!
