Chapter 441

Batches of young people walked out of the disco, and batches of young people poured in...

People who come often know that the disco in Takadanobaba will be lively until the early morning, and the whole street of food, drink, and entertainment will also operate until dawn, and then after changing a group of people, it will welcome guests 24 hours a day.

The energetic music seems to have no time to stop, the glasses of wine seem to never be finished, and the noisy atmosphere seems to never be quiet.

In the disco that doesn't distinguish between day and night, everyone is dancing to the rhythm, enjoying the happiness of relaxation to the fullest.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori played in the disco until after twelve o'clock before preparing to go back.

"Naoki-san, are you going back so early?" Akina's face didn't have any drunkenness at all. After continuous dancing, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were even brighter.

"Does Akina want to stay up all night?" Naoki Nagayama looked at his little girlfriend beside him. "Don't you have a performance tomorrow?"

Akina Nakamori's national tour hasn't ended yet, and she's going to the next stop soon.

"Eh~~~"

The elongated voice indicated the girl's unwillingness, but her very serious personality toward work made Akina unable to refute.

Looking toward the second floor, one could vaguely see the figures of Toshihiko Tahara and Seiko Matsuda. Don't these two people have work? Why haven't they gone back yet?

They came out from the back door of the disco, completely avoiding the paparazzi who might be squatting at the exit, but the two still put on masks.

A big problem after coming out to drink is how to go back. Although they came by car, they obviously can't drive back now.

Naoki Nagayama held Akina's hand and walked toward the outside of the disco street, called a taxi, and took the two toward Taito Ward.

Tokyo just past midnight, for some people, is just when nightlife is just beginning. The bustling streets are brightly lit, and the coming and going crowds are no different from the daytime.

Groups of three or five are hooking up and laughing. The serious daytime work is just a last resort. This time is the real enjoyment of life.

Looking at the scene flashing outside the window, Akina hugged Naoki Nagayama's arm and suddenly became sentimental:

"Naoki-san, it will be a long time before I can see you again."

Gently rubbing Akina's shoulder, Naoki Nagayama comforted:

"Then when we meet again, it will be even more surprising!"

As idols in the entertainment industry, gathering less and parting more is the reason for many lovers to separate. Naoki Nagayama hasn't thought of any good way for the time being. Should he let Akina not work? This will have to be considered after marriage, right?

Besides...

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina beside him. The baby fat on her face had gradually faded, and the beautiful face of the future ever-changing diva had already taken shape...

Do you really want to let the phoenix, who should shine in front of everyone, become a canary at home?

The taxi in the early morning was very fast, and soon arrived in Taito Ward. He could even see the flashing warning light on the tip of Tokyo Tower. Akina's apartment was not far away.

Buildings flowed past the car window. Suddenly, Naoki Nagayama discovered an electronics store that was still open, and an idea jumped into his mind:

"Driver-san, please stop here!"

Akina Nakamori, who had no idea what was going on, followed and got out of the car in a daze: "Naoki-san, what's wrong? We haven't arrived yet..."

"Hi, let's go buy something." Naoki Nagayama pulled Akina into the electronics store, and then, under Akina's surprised gaze, came to the counter selling pagers.

Pagers, also known as beepers, are the memory of a generation. Once upon a time, when people saw someone with a beeper on their waist, everyone would cast envious glances at him, comparable to the latest iPhone later.

However, the pagers of this era had not developed to that point. They could only provide simple paging services, that is, notifying you that someone had called you... The limitations were great, and they were expensive. They were mostly used by business personnel and had not yet become popular.

Naoki Nagayama pulled Akina to the front of the counter, then selected two of the latest pagers, and finished opening the paging service.

Following the sales staff's introduction, after understanding how to use the pager, Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina, who was curiously looking at the pager, and said:

"Akina, if you want to contact me in the future, use this pager to notify me."

"I will immediately find a phone booth and call back!"

Akina Nakamori fiddled with the pager somewhat unskillfully and showed a smile to Naoki Nagayama:

"When Naoki-san wants to contact me, I will definitely reply immediately!"

After leaving the store, the two walked toward Akina's apartment while trying to use the pager.

They found a phone booth on the side of the road. Akina walked in with great interest, then dialed the paging station number, and told the people at the main station that she wanted to call Naoki Nagayama's pager number and let him reply as soon as possible.

Sure enough, not long after, the pager in Naoki Nagayama's pocket rang.

"Haha, it's really fast!"

Akina Nakamori took Naoki Nagayama's pager and looked at it, then immediately asked Naoki Nagayama to page her.

The two, as if they had found a new toy, kept paging each other on the way back,

Presumably, the young lady on duty at the pager main station is looking at these two numbers that are always paging each other, silently saying in her heart: "The owners of these two pagers must have some big illness..."

Getting closer and closer to Akina's apartment building, they soon saw the gray-white outline. However, at this time, Akina still didn't want to separate, looking left and right as if looking for something.

"What's wrong? What is Akina looking for?" Naoki Nagayama was a bit strange.

As if she had been caught doing something bad, a blush suddenly flooded Akina Nakamori's face: "No... nothing, just not familiar with the surroundings yet, can't find a convenience store."

"Convenience store? Does Akina want to buy something?" Naoki Nagayama asked with concern, but was met with an eye-roll from his little girlfriend.

"Hmph... forget it if you don't have one!"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit confused, but still held Akina's hand and walked toward the apartment building: "Akina, what's wrong?"

"No... just a bit hot..."

"Oh, we'll be home soon~"

"But... want to eat something cold..."

"There should be cold drinks in the refrigerator, you can drink them soon~"

"... Big idiot!"

"?"

Naoki Nagayama felt he heard something strange. On second thought, what... looking for a convenience store, a bit hot, wanting to eat something cold, it was obviously just wanting to eat ice cream!

However... why call himself an idiot?

Turning his head to observe Akina Nakamori carefully, he only found his girlfriend's eyes dodging and her face turning red...

Ah... so that's it! There is only one truth!!

"Akina, do you remember what flavor of ice cream we ate last time?"

"?"

Before Akina Nakamori could react, Naoki Nagayama had already hugged his little girlfriend's waist and kissed her...

The luxurious practice of turning on the air conditioner while covering with a quilt is only something a guy like Naoki Nagayama would do.

In short, after the biological clock woke up the people in the bedroom on time in the morning, Naoki Nagayama fell into a long-lost happy trouble:

"Should I get up? Is there anything I need to do if I get up? Will I create any value if I get up?"

Oh, the final answer is one word—no!

Looking at the sunny weather outside the window: "Let's sleep for a while longer~"

Unfortunately, just as he was about to close his eyes, a large white giant jumped onto the bed and wanted to force him to turn on.

"I said it, Eitaro! Don't jump on the bed! Don't lick randomly!" Naoki Nagayama pushed away the dog's face-washing service and got up extremely reluctantly.

Washing his face and brushing his teeth with half-closed eyes, he walked to the kitchen in a daze. Cold milk with cereal, this is the breakfast for lazy people. Then he walked to the veranda on the first floor and stretched, feeling the high temperature that started from the morning:

"Only an air-conditioned room can save me... decided, I won't go out today!"

For the editing work of 'Crows Zero', Ido Ito Shuichi had clearly said that he didn't need him to go over; the promotion of Ozaki Yutaka's record was proceeding in an orderly and vigorous manner, and he didn't need to add chaos; 'Twilight Meow Meow', planned with Akimoto Yasushi, was still in the beginning stage, and the participants from several parties all needed a certain amount of time to think...

All in all, it can be said that there is absolutely nothing urgent today!

He dragged a large straw cushion to the corridor, then moved the low table over, placed iced lemonade and mint green bean cakes on it, and finally took out 'Anna Karenina' that he hadn't finished reading before.

While looking at Tolstoy's broad and vivid picture of Russian rural life, he occasionally teased Eitaro in the courtyard with the tennis ball in his hand, watching the silly dog's happy appearance, his heart was at peace.

I don't know when, Miaotaro also ran over, took advantage of Naoki Nagayama's inattention, jumped onto the low table, and bit a piece of mint green bean cake.

After biting a few times, perhaps not liking this cool and slightly sweet taste, he threw it on the table in frustration, and then used his annoying front paws to sweep this snack to the corridor bit by bit, which was swallowed by Eitaro in one bite...

It seems that the silly dog is very fond of this taste.

As the sun rose, the sunlight in the courtyard became hotter and hotter. Even the dog didn't want to go out to bask in the sun, lying on the floor and panting with its tongue out, while Miaotaro was yawning on the low table.

Just when Naoki Nagayama wanted to enter the living room, the phone next to the sofa rang~

Naoki Nagayama answered it very reluctantly. He had a premonition that the relaxing time was about to end:

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi... this is Shanyingyuan~"

"Naoki-san, why didn't you come to the studio today?" It was Yoshimura Otomo's voice in the receiver.

"This... didn't Ito Shuichi-san say I didn't need to help~" Naoki Nagayama said lazily, leaning on the sofa. "So I wanted to give myself a day off today~ After all, life needs a balance of work and rest~"

"..."

Yoshimura Otomo didn't know how to reply for a while. If you talk about the balance of work and rest, Naoki, you are obviously resting more than working, and it exceeds it by more than a little bit!

"Ahem, Naoki-san, although I don't want to break your 'vacation', but... we just received an invitation from Kadokawa. Haruki-san wants to meet with us."

"Meet? At noon today?" Naoki Nagayama was very curious about what this rich second generation wanted to do.

"No, tonight." Yoshimura Otomo said. "Still at the club in Roppongi, saying he wants to talk about the new movie."

It's Roppongi again! It's going to a nightclub again! It's really not creative! His convertible is still parked in Takadanobaba.

"Hi, then I'll come over and go with Otomo-san tonight~"

A schedule suddenly appeared in his mind. Although it was not now, the relaxed mood was gone all of a sudden.

Naoki Nagayama recalled the situation related to the movie and felt that there was no problem. He would just deal with it when the time came.

At noon, he ate sushi without any particular care, and then practiced the songs in his small music library in the piano room in the afternoon.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that he found a taxi and rushed to the studio.

"Naoki-san, good afternoon~"

The newcomer Hoshika Hana was a bit surprised to see Naoki Nagayama arrive at this time, but she didn't ask anything.

"Hi, good afternoon, Hana-chan~" Naoki Nagayama greeted easily. "It's only an hour before getting off work~ Persist in slacking off for a while, and you can get off work on time!"

"Uh... hi..."

As the company president, is it really okay to let employees slack off and get off work on time so openly?

Naoki Nagayama nodded to some employees along the way. After walking into the office, he saw Yoshimura Otomo and Ido Ito Shuichi both inside.

"Is Ito Shuichi-san going too?"

"Of course, because it's related to the movie~" Ido Ito Shuichi replied, then looked at Naoki Nagayama. "You said it was almost edited yesterday, and today you didn't come at all, Naoki-san..."

"Hahaha, I have left everything to Ito Shuichi-san!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Ito Shuichi-san, I trust you completely!"

"..."

Such trust, why does it feel not so happy...

Yoshimura Otomo didn't join the bickering between the two and directly packed his briefcase: "Alright, let's go now!"

The driver was still Kawahara Takeharu. This kid must be very familiar with the road to Roppongi recently.

"Ito Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, what do you think Kadokawa Haruki wants to talk about?" Naoki Nagayama, sitting in the back row, discussed with the two.

"Naming rights? Distribution method? It can't be a split!" Ido Ito Shuichi said. "We've cooperated many times, isn't it already a convention?"

Yoshimura Otomo shook his head: "If it's these, as long as Morikawa Isao comes to talk, Haruki-san won't come in person."

Naoki Nagayama also thought of it: "Yeah, Haruki-san doesn't look like someone who pays attention to such details."

A guy born with a silver spoon wants other pursuits.

The three talked a lot, but had no clue, and in the end, they could only wait for the answer on the spot.

The club for this meeting was not the previous Lotus Club, but another membership club called "ashiya

club", located on the top floor of a hotel. If there is no member's guarantee, the waiter will not take you up with an elevator card.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Ito Shuichi-san!" As soon as the elevator door opened, Morikawa Isao came to greet them. "Good evening!"

"Morikawa-san!" After the few nodded, they followed Morikawa Isao into a private room.

Kadokawa Haruki, wearing a flamboyant floral shirt, was chatting with someone with an afro. After seeing the arrival of the few, Kadokawa Haruki stood up: "Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Ito Shuichi-san! You're here!"

"Hi, since Haruki-san invited us, we naturally had to come." Naoki Nagayama greeted warmly. After meeting in Los Angeles, the two could be considered drinking buddies.

Kadokawa Haruki smiled and said: "Haha, by the way, let me introduce you. This is Ishinomori Shotaro, the author of 'Kamen Rider'! This year's 'Genma Taisen' is a joint production by Shotaro-san and Kadokawa."

"Nice to meet you, I am Ishinomori Shotaro, please take care of me!" Ishinomori Shotaro introduced himself.

This guy, dressed casually, with a rough face and an afro, feeling very casual, was actually the author of 'Kamen Rider'?!
