Ichika Amasawa is a teenager who at the age of 16 became a superstar with a unique talent. Whether it's singing, dancing or wrestling, she's always stood out in everything.

Her straight scarlet hair was braided in two tails, decorated with red ribbons, and her eyes gradiently changed from dark red to scarlet.

Next to her was a woman in a strict suit, holding a book in her hands and explaining something.

"Ichika, we have a busy schedule today. At two o'clock shooting in the editorial office of a new magazine, at five - an interview about your new song, and then a literary TV show. Read the script in advance" - the woman said, to which Ichika sighed tiredly.

"I just finished another shooting, can I have a little rest?" - Ichika said beggingly.

"You'll rest in the car. Less words, we're late" - the woman cut off. Ichika nodded reluctantly.

Suddenly, people blocked their way.

"I'm sorry, you're Amasawa Ichika, aren't you?" - the guy asked.

"Of course, it's Amasawa-san! - someone from the crowd picked up.

"Can I have an autograph?" - timidly asked another one.

"I'm sorry, we're in a hurry," - the woman accompanying Ichika intervened.

"Come on, just a minute!"

"Well, please!"

People surrounded them, the woman grumbled angrily, and Ichika, seizing the moment, quietly slipped out of the crowd and was about to run.

"Ichika?!" - they called her. The girl turned around and saw her manager's angry look. Ichika, without hesitation, showed her tongue and ran away, the more she angered the woman.

"Again?! As soon as I turn away for a second!" - she growled, tearing off her glasses.

Waving her foot, she deftly picked up the shoes on the fly. The fiery aura cllumped around, and the woman, easily jumping over people, rushed into the chase.

"What the hell?! How does she run so fast?!" - Ichika thought in horror, feeling the distance between them shrink.

"Ichika!!!!!" - the desperate cry of the manager echoed down the busy street.

Ayanokoji slowly walked around the park, enjoying a rare vacation. For three years without interruption, he worked as a bodyguard for a rich family, and although his boss repeatedly offered him a vacation, the guy invariably refused. He did not see much need for him. But now, after a long persuasion, he finally gave up.

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a girl rushing along the path. A whirlwind passed by, and then whisked behind Ayanokoji's back, as if hiding from someone.

"What happened? Do you need help?" - he asked, looking anxiously at her worried face.

"Help! This woman wants to kidnap me!" - she blurted out.

"To kidnap? Don't be afraid, I'm with you," - Ayanokoji stood in front of her, obscuring her from the pursuer.

"Thank you," - the girl muttered embarrassedly.

The woman, catching up with them, stopped in front of Ayanokoji and, addressing the girl, said tiredly:

"Ichika, we're late. Let's go to the car soon."

"No, I'm not going anywhere! I don't even know you!" - Ichika said, shocking the woman.

"Stop fooling around! Let's go" - the woman held out her hand to grab Ichika, but Ayanokoji intercepted her wrist.

"Stait, I won't let you touch it," - his determination surprised both.

"Wow, so brave and beautiful..." - Ichika muttered, but, catching it, she added: "That is... I'm afraid, please help."

"Ichika, stop it!" - the woman was indignant. "I'm your manager!"

"What other manager? I have no idea who it is!" - Ichika, sobbing, grinned stealthily.

"Something's wrong here. I'm calling the police," - Ayanokoji took out his phone.

Using the moment while their attention was distracted, Ichika silently slipped away.

"Oh, aren't you watching TV? Ichika is a famous actress, and I'm her manager!"

"Really? I didn't know..." - Ayanokoji cut himself, not finding the girl nearby.

"Ichikaaaaa!!!!!! Again!!!!!!" - there was a woman's scream.

***

The girl took refuge in another part of the park, on a secluded bench, enjoying the coolness of ice cream.

"Freedom! No one specifies what to do, does not drive somewhere" - Ichika rewed. "Always controls, dictates its rules. I live according to her instructions, I just want to relax, and... find my love."

In her thoughts, she returned again to the stranger who protected her from the despotic manager.

"He's so cute, handsome and brave! How I would like to meet him again" - the girl sighed dreamily.

"Really?" - there was a quiet voice in her ear. Ichika shuddered with surprise. Turning around, she saw the same guy.

"T-you... how did you find me?" - she asked, stuttering.

"Your charming voice and bright appearance can't be confused," - Ayanokoji replied, making the girl blush.

"Did he call my voice charming?!" - a stunning thought in the girl's head.

"Not a bad performance, of course. I almost believed you were being kidnapped," - praised Ayanokoji. Ichika froze in shock.

"Did you know I was cheating?" - she asked in surprise.

"There were inconsistencies in your story. And your manager confirmed everything, and maybe she would have already picked you up if I hadn't decided to play," - Ayanokoji replied, even more puzzling the girl.

"But why did you do that?"

"And why not? You're a famous person, probably more than once wanted to give up everything and rest. I didn't want to deprive you of this opportunity."

His words responded with warmth in the girl's soul. She got used to compliments, but they sounded because of her status, not from her heart.

In his own words, she felt sincerity, sympathy. She felt... herself for the first time.

"Are you all right?" - Ayanokoji asked, snaturing her out of her thought.

"A? Yes... yes, everything is fine," - she replied. "I'm sorry, we talk so much, and I don't even know your name."

"I'm sorry, my name is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka." - he introduced himself, stretching out his hand.

"Amasawa Ichika. Mutually, Ayanokoji-kun," - the girl smiled, shaking his hand.

"I think it's time for you to go back to the manager. She's probably already worried," - Ayanokoji suggested.

"You're right, I've already had enough rest for the superstar," - Ichika reluctantly agreed. "But I'd like to spend a little more time with you."

"Amasawa-san, if you don't like the working conditions, I can offer you a place in the company of Matsushita, where I work" - Ayanokoji unexpectedly suggested.

"Do you also work in a company?" - the girl was surprised.

"Yes, I'm sure there's a place for you there, too."

"Who do you work for?" - Ichika asked curiously.

"The bodyguard is the daughter of the company owner," - the guy replied.

Suddenly, a bold thought flashed through the girl's head:

"If I work for this company, can you become my bodyguard?"

"If you want it, you can ask my boss to replace me in his daughter's defense."

"I agree!" - the girl exclaimed.

"Okay, give me your phone number. I'll contact the boss and call you back as soon as I get an answer," - said Ayanokoji.

The girl nodded and dictated the number.

"I'm waiting for your call," - she answered, and noticed that the manager was running to her. "They've already come for me. See you, Ayanokoji-kun!"

"See you, Amasawa-san."

The manager brought down a hail of reproaches on Ichika, not giving her the opportunity to object. Instantly dragging the girl into the limousine, she disappeared from sight.

Ayanokoji, watching this scene, dialed his boss's number.

"Greetings, Ayanokoji! How's your vacation going?"

"It's okay, Atsushi-sama. How are Chiaki-sama and Mari-sama?"

"Wonderful! Chiaki is just talking about you, looking forward to your return."

"Tell her not to wait for me and spend more time with her friends. If she doesn't agree, tell her that I will resign as her bodyguard."

"Got it. Do you want to say something else?"

"I have a request for you."

"Tell me, you've saved my family many times, I can't refuse you."

"You know superstar Ichika Amasawa, don't you?"

"Of course! The news only talks about her."

"We accidentally met in the park today. And she said she wanted to work for your company."

"What?! Amasawa Ichika herself?!"

"Yes. She asked for your permission."

"I agree! When can she come?"

"I don't know. I said I'd call you back as soon as I got an answer."

"Call her now before she changes her mind!"

"I listen, Atsushi-sama. And say hello to Marie-sama and Chiaki-sama."

"Of course. See you, Ayanokoji."

Atsushi hung up. And Ayanokoji dialed Ichika's number.

"Hello? Ayanokoji-kun?"

"I was just talking to the boss. He allowed you to work for Matsushita."

"Really?! Thank you very much! When can I get to work?"

"He said you could come tomorrow."

"Okay, and thank you, Ayanokoji-kun."

"I'm glad to help. Then tomorrow I'm waiting for you at the door of the company at 10:00."

"Agreed. See you!"

Ayanokoji put the phone away. The girl turned it off and put it in her pocket.

"Who were you talking to?" - asked the manager.

"It's none of your business. Do your duties," - Ichika cut off, surprising the woman with her firm tone.

"All right," - she muttered.

"I'll be next to you soon, Ayanokoji-kun," - the girl thought happily.
