Chapter 164: Want the boss to work overtime with you? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

While Shuichi Ito was diligently editing the movie and Otomo Yoshimura was running around making connections and appearing on shows, Naoki Nagayama decided to go back to his hometown~

Such behavior naturally caused the two to give kind and warm greetings.

Unfortunately, their enthusiasm couldn't hold back Naoki Nagayama's firm will:

"Everything is arranged, and I can't help much by staying here anyway~"

Want the boss to work overtime with you? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The spring breeze in February stirred the vitality along the strait, and coupled with the warm Japan Current along the southeast coast, the flowers along the line from Tokyo to Shizuoka bloomed early, and the spring scenery was particularly moving.

While driving, Naoki Nagayama would stop the car whenever he encountered good scenery, enjoy it for a while with Eitaro, and take a few photos.

Having driven back and forth many times, Naoki Nagayama drove familiarly to the Izu Peninsula, a tourist resort that became popular because of "The Dancing Girl of Izu". At this time, it was the most beautiful season of the year.

One of the magnificent sights of the Izu Peninsula, the Kawazu cherry blossoms, had already bloomed!

With a flowering period of one month, the pink cherry blossoms covered the branches, dots of pink falling on the grass, in the flowing water, and in the hearts of tourists...

The seaside road, the coastline of Jogasaki, and Shuzenji Temple where plum blossoms bloomed were all good places to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The entire row of "Kawazu Cherry Blossom Trees" from near Kawazu Station to the Kawazu River was particularly famous. If you occasionally saw the scenery of pink cherry blossoms and tender yellow rapeseed flowers reflecting each other, that was simply a huge profit.

After fatigue, enjoying the hot springs of the Izu Peninsula and tasting local tea on the tatami was simply the most comfortable and beautiful journey.

However, Naoki Nagayama couldn't enjoy this for the time being. He had already called home today to say he was going back. At most, he would go to the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival for a stroll when he arrived at noon, and by the way, buy some special cherry blossom pastries, cherry blossom wine, cherry blossom tea, etc., foods with the taste of pink cherry blossoms.

Ha, there was actually cherry blossom-flavored soda on sale!

Another cherry blossom season, Yoshie Kashiwabara's song "Sakura ~Anata ni Deaete Yokatta~" (Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms, Glad to Meet You) was sung again in record stores in Shizuoka.

One could find that many other singers had also released new singles, about love, about cherry blossoms, about sadness... but none could compare with the brainwashing degree of "Sakura ~Anata ni Deaete Yokatta~" (Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms, Glad to Meet You). Even the children playing were humming "Sakura

Sakura

Aitaiyo

~"

The black sedan drove slowly along the roads of the small town. No one knew that the author of the song was in this car.

The old home in Shizuoka was still quiet and peaceful. Mother Nanae was still busy with the housework that seemed to never end, until Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door:

"Mother, I'm back~"

Nanae Nagayama hurriedly opened the door. Seeing her son outside, leading Eitaro with his left hand and carrying a bag of things with his right hand, a smile bloomed on her face: "Naoki, welcome back~ Come in, come in~"

"Is this Eitaro?"

Seeing the little white ball, Nanae Matsushima squatted down and touched it gently. Seeing that it didn't resist, she picked it up happily.

"Ara, he's a bit heavy~"

Eitaro had been held by various women for the past period, and he was completely numb to being held, with an attitude of "do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't delay my eating."

Especially since the food had been very good for about a month, and he hadn't exercised much, he already had the chubby look of a Chow Chow.

"This guy eats 3 meals a day, and many people feed him snacks. Now he's fat to the point of being unrecognizable."

Naoki Nagayama put the pastries bought in Kawazu in the living room.

"This is a snack bought at the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival, cherry blossom flavor~"

"Arigato~"

Nanae Matsushima manipulated Eitaro's front legs to pose in a prayer gesture... Sure enough, Eitaro's charm was great~

However, his mother was an adult after all, and her self-control was still very strong. After stroking the dog for a while, she returned to her busy housework, and Eitaro took the opportunity to run around the old house.

Because he strolled more in Kawazu, it was already evening when Naoki Nagayama arrived home, and it was time to be busy with dinner.

And Naoki Nagayama sat calmly in the living room drinking tea and reading the newspaper. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he wasn't allowed to help.

Occasionally chatting with his mother in the kitchen was actually a very warm feeling.

Japanese high school students generally finish school very early. Naoki Nagayama didn't wait long in the living room before he heard the sound of Tsuruko returning.

"Mom~ Is brother back? I saw the car~" As soon as she opened the door, she found a white Eitaro trying to drill out from the door. "Ah, little puppy!!"

Eitaro finally didn't break through the encirclement to explore the outside world, but was grabbed instead.

Tsuruko wasn't as gentle as her mother. A pair of magic claws began to touch Eitaro up and down. Before long, Eitaro ran into the living room with "ying ying ying" and hid behind Naoki Nagayama's back.

"Nii-chan, you're back~" Tsuruko put down her schoolbag and greeted him, then looked at Eitaro again, her eyes shining, "Is this the Eitaro you mentioned before?"

"Yes, I say Tsuruko, you should also restrain yourself. Eitaro was scared by you!"

"No way!" Tsuruko refused to accept. "He's clearly just shy. Eitaro, come here quickly, let Tsuruko-nee-chan get close to you~"

After stopping Tsuruko's magic claws several times, she finally gave up, and then she saw the snacks on the table.

"Did Nii-chan go to the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival?"

"Yes, I strolled a bit when passing by~"

"Ah~ That's great~" Tsuruko quickly opened the packaging. "Pink Daifuku~"

Saying that, she ate it with an enjoyable face. "Hmm, the taste of cherry blossoms..."

At this time, Mother poked her head out from the kitchen: "Tsuruko, it's time for dinner! Don't eat snacks!"

Mother's majesty +1

With just one sentence, Tsuruko immediately put down the other packaging she was unpacking~

During dinner, Nanae Nagayama asked about going to the United States at the end of the month.

"Naoki, how long will it take to go to the United States?"

"If it's a direct flight, it should take more than ten hours~"

"Is it that far?" Nanae asked with some worry. "How is the weather there? It should still be winter, right?"

"Hai, New York is expected to be below zero in March."

"Then you have to wear cotton clothes."

At present, Japan had reached spring, and in Shizuoka, you could go out wearing just a jacket. If you went to New York, you would have to experience the feeling of a cold winter.

"Mom, this time going abroad, the formal activities will take about two or three days, but I might travel in the United States for a few days, estimated to be a whole week."

In fact, Naoki Nagayama didn't set a specific time limit for himself. If he encountered something fun, ten days or half a month would be fine.

"During this period, I want to entrust Eitaro to the family to take care of~"

"No problem, no problem!" Tsuruko said impatiently on the side, and then her eyes turned. "As a reward, Nii-chan must bring us a lot of special products!"

Naoki Nagayama was dumbfounded. This Tsuruko didn't have the appearance of an adult at all...

When his father and elder brother came back at night, they also discovered Eitaro, but these two didn't seem to like puppies very much, and of course, they didn't dislike them.

"If you want to raise him, then raise him~"

His father, who had always been reticent, said so.

Then the whole family discussed the attractions in New York and so on.

For most Japanese people, traveling abroad was just a distant concept. Many Japanese people hadn't even left their own city.

Even when the bubble was at its worst, traveling abroad was just a game for elites and rich people in big cities.

Those rich Japanese wives who took large amounts of cash to sweep goods in New York stores couldn't be ordinary people who lived every day hard. ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
