Chapter 135: Otomo-san, are you a devil?

"Butter-Fly"?

Naoki Nagayama looked at the sheet music in his hand, full of confusion.

I just thought about how wonderful life is, why did I recall this song? Could it be that in my heart, the most wonderful world is the world of Digimon?

After the accident, Naoki Nagayama put away the sheet music. After all, this is also a childhood memory. After the animation comes out in the future, it will be popular all over Japan!

After the emotions accumulated in his brain dissipated, Naoki Nagayama finally ushered in a peaceful afternoon.

Tokyo's winter is changeable. The morning sun is bright, but by the afternoon, it starts to be overcast. I guess it will snow again later.

Naoki Nagayama walked slowly in the corridor with hot tea. If his back were more hunched, he would look just like an old man.

"As expected, it's better to lay a layer of white sand in the courtyard. This bare look is really too ugly."

Silently conceiving the scenery of the dry landscape in his heart, Naoki Nagayama decided to take advantage of a day with good weather to get this done!

It really snowed in the evening. Taking advantage of the fact that the snow wasn't heavy yet, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly bought some fresh vegetables at the supermarket next door.

On the way back, he still passed by the Aoyama shop. The doors and windows were still closed. It looked like they were still celebrating the festival.

A sukiyaki for one, simple and easy to make, with a fragrant smell, is most suitable for enjoying in winter.

Naoki Nagayama listened to music while eating hot pot, how comfortable it was.

The snow at night became heavier and heavier. Even on the second floor, he could hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the bamboo leaves outside.

"Tomorrow, the accumulated snow should be enough to build a snowman~"

Thinking this way, he entered a dream.

It snowed all night last night, and it was good weather when he woke up early~

Early in the morning, Naoki Nagayama hummed the theme song of the animation city, and his good mood was visible to the naked eye.

The snow in the courtyard had indeed accumulated a thick layer. With a sudden childlike heart, after a simple breakfast, he immediately started to make a snowman.

He stacked two snowballs together, pulled two dead branches from the cherry tree, and used stones and bamboo leaves to make eyes and a nose. A cute and ugly snowman was done.

Naoki Nagayama placed the little snowman not far from the door: "Snowball, I'll trouble you to watch the house, hahahaha~"

As a "small landlord" with quite a few properties, he always has to inspect his properties in the new year, just like a lion on the grassland has to inspect his territory.

Naoki Nagayama first drove to the earliest Waseda apartment. Although he didn't live in this house anymore, he didn't plan to rent it out.

He hadn't been here for a month or two, but there wasn't much dust in the room. There were even some faint oil stains in the kitchen, telling of the popularity here before.

Opening the window for ventilation and sweeping with a broom, Naoki Nagayama missed the time here. After all, it was his first house~

He didn't reminisce for too long and headed to the next house in Bunkyo. He hadn't been there for almost 2 months.

Students were still on vacation, and the popularity near the school district housing in Bunkyo was slightly insufficient. Around the apartment building, there was thick snow, and the balcony outside looked normal.

However, after Naoki Nagayama went in, he found that the sliding door between the balcony and the room was opened for some reason. From the balcony to the room, it was all snow!

"As expected, if you don't take care of it for a long time, unexpected things will happen." Naoki Nagayama was a bit helpless.

But there was nothing to say, he could only roll up his sleeves and clean up the snow first.

Only when checking at the end did he find that there was no problem with the sliding door, but the old-fashioned door lock was a bit loose. Perhaps the impact of a strong wind or an earthquake would open the door.

He didn't need to worry about the shops in Shibuya and Akihabara. The merchants who rented them must be more attentive than the landlord. But he still had to go see the disco in Takadanobaba, after all, it was his own industry.

Yesterday was the fourth day of the New Year. It should be the opening day. Personnel should be in place and some cleaning work should be done. It should be officially open today, right?

The disco street in Takadanobaba didn't have the congestion of full parking spaces in the past. Naoki Nagayama parked easily outside the disco.

The Christmas decorations outside the disco hadn't been removed. Perhaps they still wanted to keep some Western New Year atmosphere. It wasn't open yet, and there were no security personnel at the door. Naoki Nagayama pushed the door and went inside.

Shigechi Araki, wearing a suit, was inspecting the preparation situation in the venue. After seeing Naoki Nagayama's figure, he walked over quickly: "Mr. Naoki, why are you here?"

"The disco is opening for the New Year, so I have to come and see." Naoki Nagayama nodded to the employees who greeted him while talking to Shigechi Araki. "Mr. Mochi, how was your New Year? Did you go out to play?"

"I didn't go out to play this year." Shigechi Araki replied. "My wife just found out she's pregnant. To avoid any accidents, I spent it at home this year."

"Oh? That's really congratulations! Mochi-san is going to be upgraded to a father!" Naoki Nagayama congratulated him happily.

"Haha, thank you~" Shigechi Araki said. "But I'm also very nervous now! I don't know if I can be a good father~"

"Hahaha, Mochi-san will definitely be fine~"

After chatting for a few more sentences, they talked about the disco again.

"There shouldn't be many people coming to dance today, right?"

"Indeed, but there are still many old customers who will come~"

"Oh? Old customers?" Naoki Nagayama asked. "Then did you prepare small gifts?"

"Small gifts?"

"Hai, greeting cards, amulets, brand-new 10-yen coins, etc., to express the meaning of New Year's blessings~"

"This idea!"

Shigechi Araki was a bit surprised. This way of sending gifts to maintain customer relationships is generally used in other industries. For those who open nightclubs, at most they give a discount.

"Mochi-san, treating old customers as important customers to maintain is the way to last."

As there are more and more competitors, restricting the flow of people, engaging in membership systems, and doing high-end are essential. And a group of loyal customers is the best seed user.

"Hai, I'll go to the bank to get new money in a while!"

It was about to open, Shigechi Araki thought about it, brand-new 10-yen coins should be the best to get.

After inspecting around, it was almost noon.

Naoki Nagayama drove on the roads of Tokyo, a bit fast. If he went to the studio, he might be able to catch up with the work bento!

In the familiar studio, he saw Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura sitting together chatting at a glance.

"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san! How was this New Year?"

Shuichi Ido was happy when he saw the person: "Ah, Naoki-san is back too! We were just talking about you!"

Otomo Yoshimura said directly: "Naoki-san, we were just talking about this year's work, movies, records, idol debuts... There are many things to do!

It's good that Naoki-san is back. When can you start working?"

?? I just came to see you guys out of kindness!

Why did you suddenly want to pull me to work!

"Otomo-san, is there such a way to talk? The first sentence when we meet is to ask people to work..." ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
