Chapter 274: Kikasho, scumbag! Really enviable!

Unable to refuse Yuko Tanaka's enthusiasm, Naoki Nagayama had to stand in the shop and be a model.

However, fortunately, it was just clothing accessories like scarves and hats. If she really bought clothes, that would be a bit strange.

"Naoki-san standing here is like a model~"

Yuko Tanaka handed over a blue and white thin scarf, watched Naoki Nagayama put it around his neck, and then took a gray beret and let him wear it,

"Looks both fashionable and handsome!"

Seeing the female clerk on the side also looking at him with shining eyes, Naoki Nagayama smiled helplessly.

"Originally, I planned to try it when I graduated, but it's a pity... I'm not tall enough~" Male models generally require 185 or more.

"Eh? Naoki-san is so tall!" Yuko Tanaka stood on the side and compared their heights, the gap was at least a head.

"Haha, maybe I will grow later~" Twenty-three, you know, you can still grow~

Yuko Tanaka reached out and measured again: "I think it's enough already. If it's too tall... it's too tall..."

Well, in Japan in this era, it is indeed enough.

While chatting about daily life with Yuko Tanaka, and trying on scarves and hats with different combinations, he finally chose a dark blue beret and that blue and white striped scarf.

"Naoki-san is clearly so young, why do you like dark-colored things?" After leaving the shop, Yuko Tanaka was very puzzled. The orange-yellow hat just now was clearly very good-looking.

"It's because I'm too young, so I need more mature colors~"

If you really count it, the mental age added up is... over 50!

Near noon, naturally, he had to eat. Ginza is very good at this point, there are high-end restaurants everywhere, and the two chose a Western restaurant.

Both are people in the entertainment industry, so naturally, they started chatting about their recent situations. Yuko Tanaka took a sip of red wine and sighed: "Haven't drunk for a long time..."

"Eh? Why? Yuko-san doesn't have a baby?" Naoki Nagayama didn't understand. Drinking, except when pregnant, should be fine, right?

Yuko Tanaka rolled her eyes at the guy who spoke without thinking: "It's filming, filming!"

"There's also filming that doesn't allow drinking?"

"Because it's a strict director... hoping that actors always maintain the best state..." Yuko Tanaka said a few vague words, didn't say who the director was, and then changed the topic to ask, "Naoki-san, did you film a movie called *That Summer, Quiet Sea* recently?"

Naoki Nagayama was cutting steak, looked up at the opposite side, and answered: "Hai, has Yuko-san also seen it?"

"Not yet..." The lady opposite was a bit stuck for words. "It's learned from other actors, saying that this movie is very praised."

"So that's it, that movie is being shown in art theaters, and its popularity is not very high."

"But I heard that many directors and people in the film world are very optimistic about this movie and have planned to vote in the Mainichi Film Awards!"

Yuko Tanaka narrowed her eyes and stared at Naoki Nagayama, a pair of charming eyes like a cunning fox catching the prey in hand, "Could it be that Naoki-san secretly asked the big bosses in the circle for help?"

"Eh? Is there such a thing?" Naoki Nagayama was originally immersed in the delicious food, but was a bit stunned after hearing this. "But what I heard is that the big bosses in the film circle are collectively suppressing Tree Friend Films' movies..."

"Is Naoki-san referring to *Hachiko Monogatari*?"

"Hai, Yuko-san has also heard of it?"

"Indeed heard some wind..."

As a person in the entertainment circle, Yuko Tanaka had roughly understood this film selection in chats with mentors and friends. Indeed, there were old-fashioned production companies that didn't want the movie with the highest annual sales to win the award.

"Naoki-san, how did you offend so many people? Didn't you already hang the name of Kadokawa Pictures? Why didn't Kadokawa take action?"

"Can only say bullying honest people..." Naoki Nagayama shrugged. "As for Kadokawa, the resources there are used for Oscar nominations."

"Oscars? Actually so ambitious?" Yuko Tanaka put down her wine glass. In just a short while, she had actually finished a glass of wine.

Naoki Nagayama helped pour another glass of red wine, looking at Yuko Tanaka, whose face was already flushed: "Yuko-san, don't drink so fast... Oscar's matter is indeed a bit rash, but anyway, trying it out doesn't do any harm~"

"It will make people feel that Tree Friend Films is overestimating its own strength~" Yuko Tanaka saw Naoki Nagayama's indifferent look and felt a bit itchy. "With a president as proud as Naoki-san, it's no wonder that others in the company are all looking frivolous."

Me? Proud?

Naoki Nagayama didn't know that because he didn't care in his heart, he was usually very gentle, but in the eyes of others, this was actually arrogance, always feeling high above, disdainful of entanglement with mortals like you.

"Actually... not proud, just feeling that not winning an award is nothing..."

"Movies that others can't reach in a lifetime, you filmed easily, so you feel that such movies are nothing great, right?" Yuko Tanaka was like a roundworm in Naoki Nagayama's stomach. "This is the common problem of talented people!"

Naoki Nagayama felt as if his mind had been manipulated by the young lady smiling lightly across from him; her curved eyes were slightly narrowed, like a fox spirit capable of peering into the human heart.

"Yuko-san... has anyone said you are like a fox?"

"Nani?" Her eyes narrowed even more, as if she was thinking about what conspiracy to use to rectify Naoki Nagayama.

When this man and woman were chatting and eating in the restaurant, they didn't notice at all that two people had followed them all the way on Ginza Street.

As Ginza, the most prosperous area in Tokyo, it is a place where many well-known figures appear, so many media will wait for rabbits here. Although the success rate is a bit low, maybe they can shoot some important news.

Although Naoki Nagayama thought he was already outdated, he still had an impression in the minds of professional paparazzi. And Yuko Tanaka, who was originally armed tightly, originally wouldn't be recognized, but when eating with Naoki Nagayama, she naturally didn't wear a mask.

"Really caught something good today!" A paparazzi sitting in a van kept pressing the camera, wanting to shoot the best angle.

"Tanaka Yuko, didn't she just have an extramarital affair scandal with Kenji Sawada a while ago? Actually with another handsome guy again?"

The person taking pictures said: "That's Naoki Nagayama. Although he's not popular, he's also a guy with constant scandals!"

"Naoki Nagayama? Is he a composer, right? Seems to have had scandals with two idol artists?"

"Not only that, he also had scandals with Kanako Higuchi and Nana Okada before..."

"Eh? Come to think of it, he's really a scumbag! Pah!" Another person driving spat and whispered, "Kikasho, really enviable!"

"These star artists don't do proper work all day, just like messing around everywhere!" The man taking pictures was clearly a young radical. "But thanks to them, we have good days!"

Such a set of photos and revelations could get them a considerable reward from various entertainment newspapers.

"Yes, if we could shoot Naoki Nagayama and Seiko Matsuda, or Yuko Tanaka and Kenji Sawada, that would be even better!"

"Just be content, that's not something that can be done simply!"

And Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka who were eating didn't find anyone stealing pictures at all. Yuko Tanaka, who had drunk half a bottle of red wine, was already a bit drunk, while Naoki Nagayama didn't drink a drop because he had to drive.

After enjoying the food,

"Yuko-san, do you want to go anywhere else to stroll around in the afternoon?"

"No... after drinking wine, I just want to lie down comfortably~"

"Then I'll send you back."

Yuko Tanaka didn't be polite: "Then I'll trouble Naoki-san!"

After leaving the restaurant, they walked along Ginza Avenue to the vicinity of Sanmaiju. Yuko Tanaka was very curious: "When was such a building newly built here? It seems it was an old shop that was closed all year round before. Is Naoki-san's car parked here? Can you park here?"

"Ah, yes, parked at the back of the shop. This is a teahouse, it's my family's~" Naoki Nagayama introduced with a smile. "Do you want to go in and sit for a while? Drink a cup of tea?"

"Eh? Did Naoki-san actually do such a thing without a sound?" Yuko Tanaka was very surprised. Opening a shop in Ginza is not something that can be done simply.

"Haha, do you want to experience it?" Naoki Nagayama walked in first and greeted Katsuo Yasui at the door, "Yasui-san, I'm back."

"Ah, Naoki-san, you're done strolling? Are you going to drive back?" Katsuo Yasui said and was about to get up to lead Naoki Nagayama to the back door. This was Naoki Nagayama's usual operation after drinking tea here.

"Yes, strolled around." Naoki Nagayama hurriedly stopped his trend of leading the way. "Yasui-san, I brought a friend."

Katsuo Yasui then saw the other person completely blocked behind Naoki Nagayama, wearing a mask and sunglasses, looking like she didn't want to be recognized.

"Hai, I understand, guests please this way."

Katsuo Yasui exerted the professional attitude of a tea seat boss, led the two to the private room on the third floor, and then silently retreated, notifying Chinatsu Kamigami to send tea.

In the private room on the third floor, Yuko Tanaka looked at the antique decoration style and could see the scenery of Ginza through the glass window.

"Naoki-san, it's really surprising!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it normal to make money and open a shop?"

"No, I think even if Naoki-san opens a shop, it should be a nightclub like the last disco or a record shop or something. I didn't expect to open a tea seat."

Yuko Tanaka recalled the Future Disco in Takadanobaba. In fact, she wanted to go several times, but on one hand, she had no time, and on the other hand, without Naoki Nagayama opening the back door, the queue of at least an hour was too long.

"Actually, I was also hot-headed at the beginning, and then decided to open a tea seat. Now coming to Ginza to sit and drink tea when there is nothing to do, it actually feels very good."

Just as he was saying, Chinatsu Kamigami knocked on the door of the private room with a tray, and then opened the door and walked in.

"Guest, your tea is here."

Because there was a friend present this time, Naoki Nagayama didn't drink tea according to his own preferences. Chinatsu Kamigami, wearing a kimono, showed very exquisite tea-making skills, allowing Yuko Tanaka to enjoy pure Japanese tea ceremony.

Drinking tea, chatting, an hour passed simply.

During the whole meeting with Yuko Tanaka today, Naoki Nagayama didn't ask her about the extramarital affair scandal at all.

And when leaving, Naoki Nagayama walked out directly from the back door of the tea seat, found his car on the small road next to it, and sent Yuko Tanaka, whose mood was relaxed, back to her apartment in Bunkyo-ku.

In a corner of Ginza Street, the paparazzi who had parked the van elsewhere were still guarding outside Sanmaiju.

"Why haven't they come out yet? Can drinking tea take a whole afternoon?"

The guy holding the camera had sore hands. Waiting in the cold wind for several hours, his body was also shivering.

"Do you want to go in and see? Maybe they are not there anymore?" The other person suggested.

"Okay." After discussing for a while, the two walked into the gate of Sanmaiju.

Katsuo Yasui saw two more people entering the door and greeted them very enthusiastically: "Welcome, where do the two guests want to sit?"

The two paparazzi first looked at the first floor, and there was clearly no trace of Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka, so they asked: "Are there seats on the second and third floors?"

"There are many empty seats to choose from on the second floor. As for the third floor, there are two private rooms."

Thinking that the two stars must choose a more private space, the two paparazzi also chose the third floor. As long as they heard the sound of opening the door, they could grab pictures from the door crack.

"Then the private room on the third floor."

"Hai!" Katsuo Yasui led the two to the private room, then handed the tea list to the two, inquiring about the tea leaves they wanted to drink.

"Why is there no price on this list?" The paparazzi with the camera asked.

"Ah, these tea leaves are market prices, so they are not marked. Which kind of tea leaves do the two want to ask about? I can inform you of its price." Katsuo Yasui found that the two might be those greenhorns who didn't look carefully at the decoration outside and ordered the most expensive private room.

He remembered Naoki Nagayama's previous warning. For guests who might not have money, he recommended the specially supplied Shimizu tea.

"We have the most top-grade tea leaves here, genuine goods at a fair price. However, we recommend the shop's specialty Shimizu tea, which is fresh tea leaves specially supplied by the Shimizu Tea Garden. Although it has no fame and the price is not high, it is precious because it is fresh, and the cost-performance ratio is very high."

The two paparazzi saw that the list was full of top-grade Yame Gyokuro, Shizuoka Gyokuro, Uji Gyokuro, etc., and their hearts were also a bit drumming. Hearing the Shimizu tea with a low price, they were naturally very happy: "Then let's taste the fresh tea leaves!"

After Chinatsu Kamigami served the tea and showed the tea ceremony, the two even said happily: "It is indeed very fresh, didn't lose this time!"

Afterwards, the two paid attention to the movement of the other two private rooms. As soon as they heard the sound of opening the door, they poked the camera lens from the door crack.

Ten minutes later, three elderly people came out of the private room, shaking hands and saying goodbye happily, clearly having negotiated some business, and were still making an appointment for celebration later.

Half an hour later, the door of another private room also opened, and the ones who came out were also a few successful people in suits and leather shoes.

It is clear that Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka are not here at all!

"Kikasho, did those two people leave from the back door?!"

"Definitely!"

The two walked to the door angrily and asked: "Manager-san, may I ask if the tea seat has a back door?"

"Hai, of course there is, but it's only for employees... Two guests?" Katsuo Yasui was a bit puzzled. Are they going to take a shortcut?

"Ah, just asking." Another paparazzi was vague. Since they didn't wait for the target, there was no need to be here. "Manager-san, check out."

"Hai, one private room on the third floor, one pot of Shimizu tea, plus service fee, total 220,000 yen!" Katsuo Yasui said the total amount of the bill fluently.

"220,000?!" The paparazzi exclaimed in surprise. "How can it be so much!

"

"Two guests, we are a high-end tea seat here, the service fee is high, plus the two ordered the top-grade private room on the third floor..." Katsuo Yasui shook his head and handed the bill to them. "This is the bill."

The two paparazzi received it in disbelief. It stated that the private room fee was 100,000, one pot of Shimizu tea was also 100,000, and the service fee was 20,000...

"You are a black shop!" One of the paparazzi blurted out.

"This guest, please pay attention to your words!" Katsuo Yasui became serious instantly. "Not far away is the security booth. If the two want to make trouble, please consider it clearly!"

The two paparazzi calmed down instantly after hearing it. Looking back, the shop was antique and the decoration was very high-end. The consumption was clearly not cheap, but neither of them thought about it carefully before.

This time, they could only swallow their bitterness and have nowhere to vent!

"Kikasho! After selling the photos taken, it won't be made up! Lost big this time!" ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
