Summary[]
"This isn't about art, it's about business."
It has been a year, and the twins Aqua Hoshino and Ruby Hoshino have grown so much that they can walk and talk without being too suspicious. They join their mom, Ai Hoshino on her job, this time acting in a drama after they begged Miyako Saitou. They pretend to be her kids this time, and they encountered the famous director Taishi Gotanda on set.
Aqua was approached by the director, and he was nonchalant about Aqua's ability to talk like an adult even as he's barely a year old, even offering him a business card in case he wants to be a child actor. They both have a conversation about actresses and the filming industry, and notices as Ai draws attention in even if her acting is average.
A month later, Ai, Ruby, and Aqua watch the drama and got surprised that Ai was shown barely in one scene. Aqua immediately calls the director, and he explained that the company producing the drama can't put the main actress with Ai, due to her being "too cute for our screen".
To apologize, the director offers to give Ai a role in a movie, but he'll only offer it for one thing; if Aqua is also willing to be in the movie as well.
