Chapter 168: Is this guy trying to assassinate me?

~7 min read 1,333 words

After hanging up the phone, Akina Nakamori felt a bit worried.

The day after tomorrow... does she have any activities the day after tomorrow?

After thinking for a long time, she called her promotional planner, Nobuo Tomioka.

"Moshi moshi? This is the Tomioka family."

"Nobuo-san, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late!" Little Akina apologized softly.

"Akina-chan? It's nothing~ Anyway, I haven't slept~" As a planner for idol promotion, being busy until midnight was a very common thing, and solving problems for artists anytime, anywhere, was also one of his job responsibilities. "So late, did something happen?"

"Hai, a friend invited me to participate in a preview of a new movie. It's the day after tomorrow morning. I don't know if there is any schedule arrangement that day."

Nobuo Tomioka originally wanted to say directly that there was an arrangement when he heard such words. Since she hadn't debuted yet, it was the time to seize the time to practice, especially since Akina Nakamori was already much later than artists in the same period. How could she go out to play?

However, thinking about the hard practice for more than 2 months during this period, it was indeed very difficult for a little girl, and Akina Nakamori had supported it stubbornly. It was rare for her to speak up this time.

Perhaps he could make an exception and give her a day off.

"If it's a movie preview, it's okay to participate." Nobuo Tomioka replied, and then added weight to his tone. "However, you must practice artist skills even harder in the afternoon!"

"Hai! I know! Arigato, Nobuo-san!" Akina Nakamori hung up the phone happily, and her heart also relaxed.

Nobuo Tomioka put down the phone, shook his head, and muttered: "Sure enough, she's still a child~"

He buried his head in the materials and prepared to continue writing the plan.

Suddenly, he raised his head: "The day after tomorrow? Is it Valentine's Day? Akina-chan isn't going on a date, is she!"

Then he patted his head again: "Oh right, didn't she say it, it's a movie preview. It should be invited by some peer idol who played a supporting role. At her age, who else can she know among stars..."

The weather was getting better and better.

Colorful flowers began to decorate every corner of Tokyo.

Occasionally, you could already see butterflies, plain white or colorful, fluttering between flowers and grass.

Eitaro, who went out for a walk after breakfast, would sometimes be attracted by the butterflies flying around, suddenly pouncing into the grass, and then running to Naoki Nagayama with his tail wagging, waiting for his owner to help remove the grass roots and mud between his hair.

"Eitaro, you've started shedding hair~" After Naoki Nagayama stroked him, he handed the strands of dog hair in his hand to him. "Do you want to change into a new set of clothes?"

The little puppy looked at the hair in front of him, sniffed, barked twice, and continued to play indifferently.

Walking along the spring-filled walkway to Aoyama's shop,

sure enough, the small flower bed in front of the shop had reopened, and purple primroses in full bloom were placed on it.

Pushing open the shop door, the bell made a "ding" sound.

"Old Man Aoyama? Are you in?"

"Naoki-san?" The one who answered was actually Chikako Aoyama. "Why are you here!"

"It's Chikako-san. Aren't you going to school today?" Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised to see the girl watching the shop.

"Today is Saturday~"

Ah, that was it. Naoki Nagayama, who didn't work normally, was basically insensitive to what day of the week it was now. If there were no weekly charts or major holidays, every day was the same to him.

"It's kid Naoki who came." Aoyama Shin walked out from the back door of the small shop, still holding a pot of primroses with yellow flowers. "Did you see the flowers at the door?"

"Ah, they are very beautiful~"

"Hahaha, I planted them!" Hearing someone praise the flowers he planted, the old man was very happy. This hobby of his had been going on for more than ten years.

"That's really amazing!"

Old Man Aoyama neatly placed the flowers, led Naoki Nagayama to sit in the teahouse, and at this time, Chikako Aoyama had also delivered two cups of hot tea at the right time and sat beside the old man.

"Naoki-san, how come you have time to come over today?" Taking a sip, the old man asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Can't it be that I came to see Chikako?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled at the girl on the side, making the girl blush.

I don't know why, but I like to tease his granddaughter in front of Aoyama Shin. Maybe this old man's protective desire for his granddaughter is very strong.

Sure enough, Aoyama Shin's eyes immediately widened. If he had a beard, he might have to blow it.

"What are you saying! Don't have designs on my granddaughter!"

"Hahaha, just joking~" Naoki Nagayama stopped at the right point. "Actually, I want to invite the old man to watch a movie."

"Watch a movie? With me?" Aoyama Shin's tone was a bit surprised.

"Didn't I participate in a movie before~ Now it's basically completed, so the production side is holding a preview, wanting to give the media a heads-up and also understand the audience's views in advance."

"As an actor, I can invite a few audiences to participate in the preview~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the girl who was listening attentively. "Chikako-san can also go together. It's tomorrow."

Chikako Aoyama looked surprised: "Honto ni?" Then she looked at her grandfather with expectation.

After Aoyama Shin knew it was this matter, he also agreed very readily.

"Since Chikako wants to go so much, then let's go together."

"That's the best. The time is tomorrow morning at 9 am, and the location is Ginrei Hall movie theater in Iidabashi." Naoki Nagayama said. "I will pick you up at the entrance of the movie theater."

Chikako nodded repeatedly: "Hai, arigato Naoki-san~"

"It's nothing..."

After chatting with this pair of grandparents about the plot of the movie and so on, and finishing a cup of tea, Naoki Nagayama said goodbye and walked home slowly with Eitaro.

Calculating this way, he invited 2+1+2+1+1+2, there were 9 people, far exceeding the 5-person limit Shuichi Ito said...

Well, after all, he was the producer and the lead actor.

It should be very normal for his two identities to invite twice as many people.

Shuichi Ito here was looking for media.

Through the relationship of Kadokawa Pictures, he found many professional film critics in the entertainment industry, plus various media people. The scale and grade of this preview could be considered decent.

"Weekly Bunshun" reporter Masayuki Matsuzawa looked at the invitation letter and related materials in his hand, and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, as if fate had found him again.

"Naoki Nagayama, it's you again? Filmed another movie?"

"Last time I didn't ask you, but instead made myself look ugly. This time I won't let you go easily!"

Masayuki Matsuzawa put the invitation letter aside, cut out the poster in the "Gas Station Robbery Incident" materials,

and then pulled the curtain behind the desk on the wall to the side, pinning the poster to a certain place on the wall with a thumbtack.

Standing up, he saw this information wall, which was full of events and figures he was interviewing and tracking as a "Weekly Bunshun" reporter, among which Naoki Nagayama's area was placed in the middle.

One could see that surrounding the name Naoki Nagayama, school, Seiko Matsuda's songs, soda advertisements, Yoshie Kashiwabara's songs, "Summer Garden" awards, "Paranormal Activity" posters, etc., were all pinned on the wall...

If Naoki Nagayama saw this, he might be scared into a cold sweat.

This guy knows my information so clearly,

is he trying to assassinate me? ===== CHAPTER 169 =====
