Chapter 466

~14 min read 2,619 words

Although such a thing as a single-person opening prayer ceremony is not very common, for the sake of an old customer, that Shinto priest in Tokyo also tried her best to prepare a quite cumbersome ceremony.

Among the Shinto altars that the Shinto priest often prepared, the Shinto priest who finished the great god dance let Naoki Nagayama and Hiromu Yoshimura offer incense breathlessly, and only then was the ceremony completed.

When leaving, the Shinto priest's face was sacred and satisfied; it should be because she gave blessings to those who needed them again!

Definitely not because of the thick red envelope in her pocket!

Hiromu Yoshimura leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette: "Naoki-san, going to Kyoto tomorrow to film *Ring*, when is this *Love Letter* expected to start?"

"I think it might take at least a few days~" Naoki Nagayama also had no bottom. "In short, I still need to communicate the schedule with the actors, and the school in Otaru needs to be communicated in advance."

Naoki Nagayama intends to film the high school flashback segments first, mainly including a few scenes such as the high school classroom, library, and school playground. If it is tighter, it is expected to be completed in two or three days.

"Cough cough!" Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but cough twice.

"Naoki-san, daijoubu ka?" Hiromu Yoshimura asked with concern. "It feels like it has gotten a lot worse, have you taken medicine?"

"Haha, I haven't been sick for a long time, so the reaction is a bit bigger." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand. He didn't take medicine; this kind of small cold would pass if he resisted it, and his body would instead gain stronger resistance because of it. "It doesn't matter, it should be fine in a day or two."

"Ah, then rest more, otherwise it will get serious~" Hiromu Yoshimura didn't say anything more, it was just a small cold. "There should be nothing else today, right?"

"For today..." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. "By the way, I have to settle the cats and dogs at home."

"..." Hiromu Yoshimura was speechless, this actually counted as a big deal...

Driving when you have a cold has a special feeling.

The cool wind blew across his face, taking away the heat from his head and bringing a trace of coolness, making people much more awake.

However, as soon as he stopped, he felt the fever again. This kind of heat was like the feeling of being slightly tipsy, making the noise of the outside world go away, making people immerse themselves in their own world.

So, naturally... Naoki Nagayama was stopped by the traffic police!

In the suspicious eyes of the police officer, he underwent an alcohol test and was only released after confirming that he was not drinking.

"Sir, since you are sick, it is best not to drive, this will cause trouble for yourself and others!" Before the police officer left, he earnestly exhorted.

"Yes, I understand~"

After Naoki Nagayama got back on the road, he muttered: "The first time I was stopped by the traffic police after coming to Japan, I was actually suspected of drunk driving."

When he returned to Sanyingyuan, Naoki Nagayama felt his head was even more dizzy, and he had a stuffy nose. It was actually even more serious!

"Otomo-san, you are really a crow's mouth!"

"Sumiho-san, I am Naoki Nagayama." Naoki Nagayama called Sumiho Mori, a clerk at the nearby familiar KOJIMA pet store. "May I ask if Isa Takeda, who worked part-time here last time, is still there?"

"Yes, Isa-chan is still working part-time here." Sumiho Mori was very enthusiastic; Naoki Nagayama was an old customer, and he bought high-end goods in the store. "Does Naoki-san need dog walking service?"

"Yes, I have to go out for a while recently." Naoki Nagayama scratched Eitaro's chin and said, looking at the dog's smiling face. "The time might be longer, so I need a longer dog walking service."

"I was very satisfied with Isa Takeda last time, so I want to ask her again this time."

"Yes! Isa-chan will be very happy to hear such affirmation!" Sumiho Mori's tone was enthusiastic. "She is in class right now, when she comes to work in the evening, I will tell her. Is it convenient for you to call Naoki-san back then?"

"Hmm, I'll be there today." Naoki Nagayama said. "By the way, this time I might need to add a requirement, I also have a cat, although it doesn't need frequent outings, it also needs to go out for some fresh air occasionally."

"Yes, I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to call Hezi again, but remembered that his sister should also be in class at this time, so he put it down for the time being.

I don't know when, Miaotaro also ran to the sofa, lay on Naoki Nagayama's lap, and made a purring sound.

Naoki Nagayama said to the two furry children:

"I'm going to Kyoto this time... the time I'm going is a bit long, but I will come back halfway, and then I will take you to the courtyard there to see!"

"The space there is very large, and there is no problem running around."

Naturally, he didn't cook at noon, but ordered a bowl of ramen to be delivered. Sure enough, when you have a cold, you need to eat this kind of hot noodle food.

However, throughout the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama felt that his cold gradually seemed to be getting more serious. Not only did he start to have a stuffy nose and runny nose, but his head also started to ache.

His head was dizzy, and here at his temples, it felt like a blood vessel was drumming, throbbing with pain.

"I won't be defeated by a small cold..." Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Speaking of which, this kind of dizzy feeling is very similar to when memory flashbacks occur. The sound of this blood vessel beating really sounds a bit like the rhythm of drum beats... Dong dong, dong dong, boom cha boom cha..."

He just said it like that, but in Naoki Nagayama's mind, the rhythm of a drum kit really suddenly sounded!

At first, he thought he was confused, but Naoki Nagayama soon found that the sound in his brain was getting louder and louder, and it started to have a melody, and it seemed that there was also a voice singing!

This is definitely not because of the cold!

"I just said it casually, how did it become true!"

Saying so, Naoki Nagayama still endured the dizziness in his brain, walked into the study on the second floor, and began to recall according to this rhythm.

It seems that I remembered that I don't know when, I browsed through the middle of a yellow-haired stage, in the explosive rhythm of the drum kit, singing with full emotion:

"

Nee kudaranai ai de (Hey, with worthless love)

Bokutachi wa itsumo waratte ita (We were always laughing)

Nee sotto futari (Hey, the two of us quietly)

Mahou wo tonaeru (Chanting magic)

Koikaze ni nosete (Let's catch a love cold)

"

Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes and looked at the song title written in his hand—*Koikaze ni nosete* (Catching a Love Cold).

The style of this song is different from the current song style, whether it is the fast-paced melody or the catchy lyrics, but the yearning for love and the decadent freedom in the song are in line with the consistent style of love songs.

"It's clearly just a cold! How did it get involved in love!" Naoki Nagayama was speechless. "And what kind of love cold!"

"What is this for? Do you want me to shout to the world that my cold this time is because I got drunk and didn't cover myself with a quilt when sleeping?!"

However, after this memory appeared, the dizziness in his brain disappeared a lot, and the whole person seemed to have sobered up.

Naoki Nagayama started to pack his luggage for tomorrow in the afternoon.

In the villa in Kyoto, Xiuichi Yin Tang had already arrived here with the crew members.

Old-fashioned wooden sliding doors, clean and snow-white walls, dense trees in the courtyard, and that small well made people feel that the little autumn tiger remaining in October had run far away.

Looking at such scenery, Xiuichi Yin Tang also felt a kind of chill, and even a bit eerie.

"Sure enough, it's suitable for filming horror movies!"

"Masataka-kun, is this your first time here?" Xiuichi Yin Tang asked Masataka Komori, who was busy.

"No, I have been here before with the prop team." Masataka Komori wiped the dust off his face. "We came here in advance to change some decorations and utensils. We also processed the overall style."

"So, the current scenery is what it looks like in *Ring*?" Xiuichi Yin Tang turned his head and looked at Masataka Komori.

"Yes, it has been readjusted according to the script."

"Ah, that's good!" Xiuichi Yin Tang nodded. "The crew's props should be almost dismantled, right?"

"Yes! They have all been placed in the warehouse, and we are currently organizing the rooms where we will sleep at night." Masataka Komori said with a smile. "Xiuichi-san, your room is the main house on the first floor, the one where you can see the courtyard!"

Xiuichi Yin Tang stayed for a while: "We also live here?"

"That's for sure!" Masataka Komori laughed. "This is a luxury villa courtyard with more than ten rooms! Otomo-san said that in order to save money, the whole crew can sleep here."

"But... isn't this a film set?"

Xiuichi Yin Tang was a little unwilling. As the director who studied the script the most deeply, his brain had already embodied the way Sadako-san appeared!

Seeing such scenery, the scenes to be filmed in the future unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Masataka Komori hurriedly appeased: "Haha, Xiuichi-san, don't worry! We all live on the second floor, it will definitely not affect the filming!

Xiuichi-san, there are only two rooms where you can see the courtyard, because Xiuichi-san has to bring his daughter, so it was specially reserved for you!"

Xiuichi Yin Tang was speechless. Originally, he wanted to say that this is a horror movie set, if you sleep here, won't you be afraid?

Not to mention anything else, just say that well in the courtyard,

Aren't you afraid that Sadako-san will crawl out of it at night?!

Just when he wanted to refuse, Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang ran over:

"Odo-san, are we living here?"

Saying that, she turned around in the room: "It's so big! Ah, you can also see the courtyard!"

The little girl who ran from the eaves corridor to the courtyard ran around in the shade of the courtyard trees, just treating this as a vacation villa, and there was no problem at all: "Odo-san, it's very cool here!"

"Regarding Jia Yi-chan, don't get too close to that well, be careful of falling in!"

Seeing his daughter looking very happy, Xiuichi Yin Tang could only swallow the words in his mouth. A real man, how can he be afraid! Especially when his daughter is beside him!

"Cough cough, then okay, let's live here!"

Anyway, it's just a movie he filmed himself! What's there to be afraid of! There are so many people!

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Where does Naoki-san live?"

"Uh, Naoki-san." Masataka Komori thought for a while. "Ah, he said he has a house in Kyoto being renovated, so he wants to live nearby and supervise the work from time to time, so Otomo-san found a hotel for him!"

"Eh?"

That guy Naoki Nagayama actually went to live in a hotel by himself and left the crew (himself) here?! He really doesn't act like a human!

"Naoki-san, did you actually go to enjoy it by yourself!"

Masataka Komori hurriedly explained: "Xiuichi-san, Naoki-san's hotel is just a little closer to Rurikoin, it's just an ordinary hotel in the suburbs specially prepared for tourists."

"How can it be as luxurious as our city center courtyard! Such courtyard scenery is hard to see in the city center!"

Xiuichi Yin Tang took another look at the gloomy scenery in the courtyard, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

That well, the more he looked at it, the more of an eyesore it became!

Tokyo, evening, Sanyingyuan.

Naoki Nagayama lay half-reclined on the sofa, applying a cold towel to his forehead to cool down, and a small water basin was placed beside him to change the water.

Miaotaro stretched his head into the water basin from time to time and licked it a few times, as if there were some delicacies in it.

"Yes, I really have to go out for a while during this time, so I have to trouble you to come and see Eitaro and Miaotaro from time to time." Naoki Nagayama was on the phone with Hezi.

"Then can I live in Sanyingyuan?" Hezi said. "It's convenient to take care of Eitaro~"

"..." What should I do if my sister covets my villa? What can I do... "Yes, but you have to clean it up well!"

"Then can I bring Chunshui-chan over to play?" Hezi tried to raise the conditions. "Just come occasionally, I guarantee I won't mess with the things in the study and bedroom!"

"..." What can I do? Anyway, she is also a girl, so that's fine. "Okay..."

"Then can I use the pocket money on the coffee table?" Hezi pushed her luck.

"Use it, use it... anyway, there isn't much left!" Anyway, there is only about 100,000 left in pocket money, so just treat it as a reward for my sister taking care of the cats and dogs!

"Then can I..." Hezi probed back and forth near the bottom line, and Naoki Nagayama's temples seemed to start throbbing again.

"No!

" Naoki Nagayama said immediately, "Hezi! You stop it for me!"

At this time, I don't know why, in Naoki Nagayama's mind, he suddenly thought of the scene where Akina Nakamori sang *1/2 Myth*, and the lyrics "You stop it for me!" were very appropriate here!

"Chi~ Okay, okay~"

Naoki Hezi, who was not scared at all, was still very arrogant.

"Ni-chan, are you going to Kyoto this time?"

"Hmm, going to film a movie, it will take about a month or two."

"Ah, I see~" Hezi's brain hole was very wide, and she suddenly turned to another aspect. "Then can't you see the red leaves in Kyoto during red leaf hunting?"

"Yes~ What's wrong?"

"Filming a movie is really convenient! You can go wherever there is good scenery~"

Naoki Nagayama's forehead turned black: "Your thinking is really jumping! Cough cough~"

"Haha!" Hezi thought it was a compliment, but after hearing the coughing sound, she immediately asked with concern, "Ni-chan, are you sick?"

"Hmm, caught a cold."

"Is it serious?"

Sure enough, she is a good sister, knowing how to care for her family: "It got serious in the afternoon, I actually had a fever..."

"Eh? Is it that serious!" Hezi was surprised. "Then Ni-chan, you must rest well!"

This is what it should be like! Naoki Nagayama was just about to praise his sister, and was thinking about putting more pocket money, when he heard the next sentence.

"If you really can't hold on! Ni-chan, don't worry, I will take good care of Eitaro and Miaotaro! I will also take good care of Ni-chan's Sanyingyuan!"

"..."

With a slap, he hung up the phone. Naoki Nagayama felt that his sister was really a big resentment...
