Chapter 227: Boys should also protect themselves when they are out!
Even though they had watched the fireworks last night and then strolled around the commercial street of Jingu Gaien for a long time, not returning to Sanying-in until late at night,
the next morning, Tsuruko and Nana actually got up earlier than Naoki Nagayama.
Come to think of it, I'm only 20 years old? How do I already have the illusion of being an old person...
"Nii-chan, hurry and come eat breakfast!" Tsuruko called out in the dining room, being unusually attentive.
After Naoki Nagayama washed up, he walked down slowly. The tableware had already been set on the dining table, and rice had been served. The saury brought yesterday had already been grilled, and there was miso soup and side dishes.
The people had all arrived. Nana and Tsuruko said "Itadakimasu!" and then started eating normally.
"Tsuruko..." Naoki Nagayama sat at the dining table, picked up chopsticks, and picked up a saury. "You didn't put poison in the breakfast, did you?"
Tsuruko, who was shoveling rice, choked for a moment and hurriedly picked up the miso soup and took a sip:
"Baka Nii-chan, what are you talking about! Haven't you woken up yet?!"
"Hehe, it's just that you suddenly became so virtuous, Tsuruko, which makes people a bit uneasy..." Naoki Nagayama took a bite of the fish meat. It was okay. Sure enough, she was a child born in an izakaya family.
Tsubakiya Nana hurriedly helped explain: "Naoki Nii-chan, Tsuruko and I just wanted to thank you for taking us to the fireworks festival yesterday, so we decided to make breakfast in the morning~"
"Eh? Really?" Naoki Nagayama expressed that he didn't believe it. Could this little sister of his actually be grateful?
"Of course! Nii-chan, how can you doubt your little sister! I am your most beloved little sister!"
"Oh ho?" Who exactly added the adjective "most beloved" without permission...
But the next sentence completely exposed Tsuruko's little thoughts: "As compensation, Nii-chan must take us shopping in Ginza today!"
Such hot weather... These two little girls are really brave... Then Naoki Nagayama naturally had no opinion.
In Ginza, where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold, there was a construction site under construction. The house was covered with fences to hide the construction, but it could still be seen clearly from the second floor and above.
It was a building that looked like a palace or a temple, with flying eaves and carved beams, antique and elegant; but unlike other ancient-style buildings, it used cyan-green tiles to pave the roof, adding a touch of grace and luxury among the crowd of modern reinforced concrete buildings.
Ginza was an area where Toyota Centuries often appeared, so when a black sedan drove over, the workers at the construction site didn't feel anything strange. The first-class architect from the Honma Design Office who had been supervising the construction at the site also just took it as usual, until the car stopped at the entrance, and a young man walked out of the driver's seat.
"Big Designer-san, how is the project progress?" Naoki Nagayama walked into the construction site and greeted Mr. Honma.
"Naoki-san, are you here to see the tea room?" Honma said happily. "The construction process is very smooth, and the interior decoration is currently underway."
Looking at the facade that had already taken shape, and then going inside to take a look, the basic structure was indeed already done, and they were now laying the floor.
"When will it be completely built?"
"It will be completed by the end of the month!"
"The end of the month, huh."
Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment. This renovation basically used solid wood, and he had specifically instructed to use green materials, so it could probably open for business in mid-to-late September.
However, since he opened a tea room, he must have tea leaves and other products. This still needs to be purchased, and he also needs to find a suitable operator...
By the way, he also needs to have his own characteristics, such as some special tea leaves, otherwise if only the appearance is a bit special, it won't be any different from other tea rooms~
Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment. Other tea rooms must also have special tea leaves. Could he find a tea merchant who exclusively supplies his own home? Impossible, unless he grows it himself.
"Eh? Grow tea leaves yourself?"
His hometown, Shizuoka Prefecture, seems to be a famous tea-producing area in Japan. He still has more than 800 million in funds in his account. Why not buy a tea plantation as an exclusive supply?
With such an idea in his head, Naoki Nagayama said goodbye to Honma and returned to the Toyota Century.
"Nii-chan, you're so slow..." Tsuruko and Nana were bored in the back row looking at magazines. The writing desk was very convenient.
Tsubakiya Nana asked curiously: "What is this construction site going to open in the future?"
Naoki Nagayama fastened his seat belt and started the car to drive: "I'm going to build a tea room. By the way, Nana-chan, the tea plantations in Shizuoka are very famous, right?"
"Of course! Speaking of which, Shizuoka tea and Shimizu tea are specialties of Shizuoka. Even the highest-grade Gyokuro tea is produced there."
Tsubakiya Nana spoke with great knowledge. The Tsubakiya family seemed to have bought tea leaves for a period of time in the past, but because their ancestors were not good at management, they finally followed the trend and became a coffee shop.
"Then Nana-chan, there are tea plantations for sale near Shizuoka, right?"
"Eh? It seems there are, but they are all small tea plantations with no fame. The real famous tea plantations have always been passed down and will not be sold." Tsubakiya Nana thought for a moment and said, "Naoki Nii-chan, why are you asking this?"
"After the tea room opens, I need a batch of exclusively supplied tea leaves, so I'm thinking about whether I can buy a tea plantation."
Upon hearing this, Tsuruko stretched her head to the front row: "Nii-chan, is doing business in Tokyo like this? Do you have to buy a tea plantation just to open a tea room?"
"Sit properly!" Naoki Nagayama pushed Tsuruko's head back. "I just have such an idea."
Without chatting too much, Naoki Nagayama set his sights on the commercial street and drove over. Before long, the car drove into the parking lot, and then the three of them got out of the car and started shopping.
Although the sun was hot, the flow of people in Ginza was still not small. Many urban beauties wearing sunglasses, wearing fashionable and cool summer clothes, shuttled through various shops.
Tsuruko wore a sleeveless patterned dress, while Nana-chan had a white shirt and skirt combination, which was about the same as everyone else on the street.
However, Naoki Nagayama wore a sun hat and big sunglasses, a loose T-shirt and denim shorts, which was completely different from those men in suits and leather shoes on the street.
"Nii-chan, don't you feel that many people are looking at you?" After walking for a while, Tsuruko secretly said on the side, "Will you be recognized?"
"Don't worry, wearing a sun hat, plus sunglasses that cover half of my face, I basically won't be recognized."
"Then why don't you wear a suit like others? Wouldn't there be no risk then?"
"That would be hot enough to kill someone!"
Naoki Nagayama is not the kind of person who cares about face and suffers. In Ginza on a hot day, even if he is here to accompany people shopping, in order to conform to the style of the upper class, most men wear formal suits and ties.
Wearing a suit jacket on such a hot day? The shirts of those men were actually already soaked!
Taking the two of them into the mall, the cool breeze of the air conditioning made people come alive all of a sudden. Next was the time for the two sisters. Trying on clothes, looking at clothes, cosmetics...
Anyway, they can only buy one piece in the end, so let them decide the process themselves. Naoki Nagayama bought a magazine at random and killed time while following the two people.
Inadvertently, he saw the news about Akina Nakamori.
"'Shoujo A' banned by NHK because of inappropriate lyrics? It was actually banned..."
However, the more things are banned, the more people have the desire to pry, especially since the audience of the song is those rebellious young people~
Coming out of the variety show on Tokyo TV, Akina Nakamori got into her private car.
"Akina-chan, you can rest now. Where do you want to eat?"
After a morning of filming, Akina Nakamori now had absolutely no appetite.
"Arigato, Konji-san, but I have absolutely no appetite right now." Akina at least learned the lesson from the resignation of the previous manager and was very polite to the new manager.
"How can that be? Akina-chan still has a handshake event in the afternoon. If you don't eat anything, you won't have any strength." Daikawa Konji advised like this. "At least eat a little. How about dessert?"
"Then please give me an ice cream when the time comes~" Looking at the sun outside the car, Akina Nakamori only thought about resting in the air-conditioned room. "When is the afternoon activity?"
"Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in Ginza."
"Then I'll rest for a while... Call me when we get there~"
The car had become Akina Nakamori's exclusive lounge.
Naoki Nagayama was reading a magazine while following the two people in front.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision felt that a figure seemed to be approaching him. Naoki Nagayama subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Who knew that the figure suddenly accelerated, bumped into Naoki Nagayama's arm all of a sudden, and then she was bumped so hard that she almost couldn't stand still, and even her bag fell to the ground...
"Ah, sumimasen."
Seeing that it was a girl who bumped into him, Naoki Nagayama apologized hurriedly, but the girl said aggressively: "You bumped into someone, is an apology enough?"
"Uh..." Otherwise, what else could he do? It wasn't intentional, right?
Naoki Nagayama looked at the two people carefully. Both were in their 20s, and their dress and makeup were also very fashionable urban women. They could be said to be youthful and beautiful. However, the two people looked at Naoki Nagayama with bright eyes. It didn't seem like they were looking for trouble, right?
At this time, the girlfriend on the side "kindly" advised: "Shizue-chan, you were just bumped, why don't we just forget it?"
"How can we let this guy go so easily? My bag was bumped off!"
"But didn't you suffer no loss after all? Do you still want the little brother to treat you to a drink?"
"Hmph, can I forgive him if he treats me to a drink? Do you think I'm a child?" Shizue-chan's tone obviously "softened," and then the girlfriend looked at Naoki Nagayama again, as if she was waiting for him to express his position.
Eh? This plot is wrong, right? Why is there a sense of "what kind of bicycle do you want?"
Is this... fishing?
The pickup scenes of those sea kings and sea queens in short videos of later generations flashed into his mind all of a sudden. Treating to drinks, chatting, getting to know each other, and then... putting him into the fish pond?
Although the trend of "every girl has four boyfriends" in the Showa era had already risen, have the routines of these young ladies already become so deep? Did they take a fancy to his "beauty" and become so active?
Naoki Nagayama's brain started to operate at high intensity. Hurry and think, how do experts deal with these routines?
In the end, he found that these sea kings and sea queens would eventually raise others in their own fish ponds. No one had ever taught him how to refuse...
"Nii-chan, what happened?" At this time, Tsuruko's voice was like an antidote.
"Ah, I accidentally bumped into this lady." Naoki Nagayama apologized again. "Sumimasen~"
Tsuruko and Nana both walked over, vaguely separating Naoki Nagayama from the two ladies: "Really? Are you hurt?"
And seeing the two female companions coming over, Shizue-chan and her girlfriend obviously had no intention of continuing to pester him: "Daijoubu, daijoubu, little brother, remember to be careful next time."
After the two left, Nana said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki Nii-chan, I feel that those two ladies wanted to pick you up!"
"Eh, Nana-chan actually knows? Sure enough, girls understand girls."
"Did Nii-chan encounter this before?" Tsuruko also asked.
"That hasn't happened..." To be honest, Naoki Nagayama doesn't usually go shopping, and he is very goal-oriented when buying things, so he basically doesn't encounter it.
Tsuruko had a tone of "iron not becoming steel": "Nii-chan, boys should also protect themselves when they are out!"
Hehehe...
To thank Tsuruko and Nana for their timely rescue, Naoki Nagayama took the two of them to the highest-end French restaurant in Ginza for a meal.
After eating a long French meal and resting for a while, in the afternoon,
Naoki Nagayama continued to follow the two girls shopping in Ginza. If his feet weren't sore, he wouldn't have known that they had actually been shopping for more than 2 hours...
"Tsuruko, after looking for so long, are you still not satisfied?"
"Of course there are! There are still many! But didn't Nii-chan say you would only buy one?" Tsuruko was a bit indignant. "So you must look at everything before you can pick the one you want most!"
"Haha, doesn't Tsuruko have saved pocket money and New Year's money? Can't you use it to buy it?" Naoki Nagayama continued to say with a smile. Anyway, wanting to buy more is impossible.
"Hmph, it's all spent! Don't you know that girls also have many human relationships?" Tsuruko pulled Nana and said, "It's all gone!"
"Mm-hmm, treating people to meals, gifts, and so on..."
"So many things at such a young age..." Naoki Nagayama curled his lips and didn't tease her anymore.
After coming out of this commercial building, he saw that the sun in the sky had already slanted to the west.
"Tsuruko, hurry and decide, it's almost evening..." Urging his little sister like this, Naoki Nagayama found that many people were gathering somewhere in front, and they were also holding flyers.
Naoki Nagayama took one from the staff member handing out flyers: "Ara, is it actually Akina-chan's handshake event?"
"Tsuruko, Nana, hurry and come see, in front is Akina Nakamori's handshake event!"
The two girls ran over immediately: "Is it Akina-chan?"
"Nana-chan last saw Akina, it seems it was during the cherry blossom viewing at Meguro River last year, right?" Naoki Nagayama recalled. "Tsuruko saw her when she came last time."
"Hai, I often see Akina-chan on TV now~" Tsuruko said happily. "Has she already become a big star?"
"Not yet at the moment..." Naoki Nagayama compared himself with her. "She should not be as famous as your brother~"
"Eh..."
In this era, there are not many opportunities for ordinary fans to have close contact with idols. Handshake events are a relatively common one.
The three of them followed the crowd and arrived at the handshake event venue in less than ten minutes. Akina hadn't gone on stage yet. On the simple stage, only Akina's photos were lined up. The crowd that had gathered had already exceeded a hundred people. Naoki Nagayama could only stand on the periphery.
Tsubakiya Nana exclaimed: "Has Akina-chan's popularity become this high?"
"Only a small part are true fans, most of them might be people watching the fun..." Don't think that Japanese people don't like watching the fun.
Following the cheers from the front row, Akina Nakamori, wearing a white dress, walked onto the stage.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the handshake event in such hot weather~"
