Chapter 343

Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the crowd, Yutaka Ozaki's last song finally ended.

This livehouse performance made Naoki Nagayama truly feel Yutaka Ozaki's live performance ability and his popularity among fans.

"It looks like I'll have to plan a concert for Yutaka Ozaki soon." Naoki Nagayama pondered silently in his mind, but suddenly heard the girl next to him speaking to him.

"Naoki-little-brother over here!" At the end of the show, the lights came on. Minako Kudo looked at Naoki Nagayama's face, her eyes seemingly shining. "Do you want to go to other nightclubs to drink together!"

"Eh?"

Naoki Nagayama was startled. Looking at such a young girl, she was actually inviting someone to drink directly? She must still be a minor!

However, looking at her fashionable dress, she should have already been familiar with a rich nightlife.

"Cough cough, ano... arigato, but I'll pass~"

"What's wrong, little brother, do you have something important to do?" Minako Kudo didn't give up, but instead blinked her eyes. "I know many sisters at the next place!"

Kuso, I was actually a little tempted... but Naoki Nagayama thought about the thick *Japanese Juvenile Law* and suppressed his restless heart.

"Hahaha, that's a pity. I... have to go to work early tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, he turned around to avoid any further pestering from the little girl and immediately merged into the crowd leaving the venue.

Minako Kudo, who hadn't reacted for a moment, was still looking around, but her female companion had already grabbed her: "Minako-chan, what are you still doing? Let's go to the next place quickly!"

"I just saw a super handsome little brother... he actually didn't take the bait!" After saying that, she stomped her foot in anger. "Tch, it's your loss!"

"Why are the little girls these days so bold~"

Although Naoki Nagayama had encountered many young ladies hitting on him in nightclubs, he had never seen one so young.

Declining Minako Kudo's invitation to drink, Naoki Nagayama hurried back to Shanying-in and dialed the phone number of Otomo Yoshimura's house.

"Otomo-san, I went to watch Yutaka Ozaki's performance."

"Honto? How does it feel? How are the new songs?" Otomo Yoshimura on the other end of the phone was a bit curious. "Before, the people at Rebellion praised him to the heavens~"

"Hahaha, it's indeed very good. Both the new songs and the stage presence." Naoki Nagayama didn't spare any praise. "Otomo-san, in a while, we might have to hold a concert for Yutaka Ozaki."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Yes, Otomo-san. After that, we need to strengthen the cooperation with Being Records. It's best to win some important awards before the end of the year... If he can be pushed to the Kohaku Uta Gassen, then he will be the strongest newcomer this year!"

Naoki Nagayama tried to paint a big picture for Otomo Yoshimura to stimulate the ambition of this old manager: "After having a first-class idol, and then another first-class male singer, by then Otomo-san will be able to say without any guilt that you are a gold-medal manager!"

"Haha, that's still a bit difficult." Although he said that on the phone, his tone was very excited.

"Anyway, leaving it to Otomo-san is no problem!" Having stirred up Otomo Yoshimura's ambition, Naoki Nagayama took the opportunity to state his arrangements.

"By the way, Otomo-san, I won't be coming over starting tomorrow. I'm going back to my hometown, and then I'm preparing to go abroad for a trip!"

"Eh?" The other side hadn't reacted yet, and Naoki Nagayama immediately said goodbye.

"That's the matter. When I'm out, everything is left to Otomo-san. That's all!"

Hanging up the phone with lightning speed, Naoki Nagayama finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally dumped all the company's affairs!

After settling the company side, naturally, he had to make a phone call home first to inform them that he was going back tomorrow.

Then he thought of his younger sister who had already gone to Tokyo for university, so he dialed the Waseda apartment's phone number. After waiting a little, he heard a very energetic voice.

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi, this is the Nagayama house, ah no, this is the Waseda apartment... also not right, it's still the Nagayama house!" She clearly wasn't used to it yet, and he could also hear noisy background music.

"Tsuruko, it's me~"

"Ah, Nii-chan!" Tsuruko Nagayama hurriedly turned off the radio. "Is there something wrong with calling me so late?"

Naoki Nagayama could probably guess what Tsuruko looked like now: she must be eating snacks while reading manga, and also listening to a cassette tape. Studying, for sure, was not happening...

【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, a source-switching app that is comparable to the old version of chasing bugs, huanyuanapp.】

It was also normal. A college student who had just broken free from family constraints would definitely have a period of indulgence. Naoki Nagayama had also experienced it, but because of the pressure of life, he had to work part-time to make money.

"Mm, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow, so I called to ask if there's anything you need me to bring."

"Eh? Going home?" Tsuruko immediately perked up. "Then when Nii-chan comes back, help me bring my favorite doll, and summer clothes, and accessories and cosmetics..."

Tsuruko said what she needed without any hesitation, treating Naoki Nagayama like a transport plane, wanting to move the whole hometown over. Naoki Nagayama had a bit of a headache; the things Tsuruko wanted were too miscellaneous and too many, she wanted whatever she thought of.

"... You call Mother yourself and ask her to help you pack..."

In this kind of situation, as long as the person making the request is changed, Tsuruko would consider it carefully, because Mother Nanako would scold her!

"Eh... alright~" Tsuruko's tone dropped quite a bit. "What is Nii-chan going back for?"

"I was planning to go on a trip, so I have to send Eitaro back for a while." Naoki Nagayama didn't mean to hide it. "For a while, Shanying-in will be empty."

Tsuruko knew that her brother was going out to play, and didn't say much: "Just during this time, but Nii-chan, why send Eitaro back? You can send him to me! I'll watch him for you!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Eitaro at his feet and really couldn't bear to let him suffer such a cruel thing.

"Tsuruko... take care of yourself first..."

Tsuruko was very unconvinced: "What do you mean, haven't I been living smoothly by myself during this time?"

The so-called living smoothly by herself, no need to think, must be indulgence and laziness...

Naoki Nagayama sighed:

"Tsuruko... put down the potato chips in your hand..." Tsuruko's action of taking the potato chips stopped for a moment.

"Put away the cola on the table, you'll get fat if you keep drinking it!" Tsuruko silently stopped the action of reaching for the cola.

"Dispose of the leftover dinner in the kitchen, or it will stink!" Tsuruko looked at the leftover pasta on the dining table.

"Clean up the living room, don't live in a dog kennel!" Tsuruko looked at the scattered magazines, books, and clothes on the sofa and coffee table and was a bit speechless.

"Also, take the clothes out of the washing machine on the balcony and hang them up. If they stay there for a long time, they'll smell even after drying!"

Tsuruko's eyes darted to the balcony, and she was very shocked!

"Nii-chan, did you install a camera in the room!"

"You're monitoring me!"

Naoki Nagayama sighed: "Tsuruko, don't turn into a chubby girl by the time Mother sees you again!"

On the other side,

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Otomo Yoshimura was stunned for a long while, thinking about something.

Until his wife, Yuki Yoshimura, saw him looking dazed and asked: "What's wrong? Was it an important call? Or did something happen to someone?"

"Ah, it was Naoki Nagayama's call." Otomo Yoshimura put down the phone, his expression solemn.

"Eh? Naoki-san? Did something happen to him?" Yuki Yoshimura had been invited to Shanying-in and was quite familiar with her husband's boss.

"Hai... that guy, he actually ran away from home again!" Otomo Yoshimura's tone was complicated. "He was clearly thinking about doing something big at the beginning, but suddenly he said he was going on a trip!"

"Eh?"

"Kuso, he dumped everything on me again!"
