Chapter 491

The brother who was single together has already had a child!

Naoki Nagayama, who hung up the phone, suddenly felt as if he was urged by something, and hurriedly called his girlfriend.

"Moshi moshi, this is the Nakamori house." It was still the prompt sound of the answering machine.

"Akina~ it's me~" Naoki Nagayama said tentatively. "Are you still not back?"

Then he heard the sound of the phone being picked up: "Naoki-san, I'm back!"

"Hahaha, sure enough, you're already back."

For the fact that his little girlfriend didn't like to answer the phone, Naoki Nagayama was now used to it. "Akina, which TV station have you been at these few days?"

"Actually, these two days I've been in a studio at NHK, rehearsing." Akina, who was in the apartment in Nakano Ward at this time, sat cross-legged on the sofa and held the phone in her arms. "Because it's a live broadcast, I need to practice every program to the best!"

She rambled and told Naoki Nagayama about the strictness of the dance teacher and the superb skills of the band teachers.

Listening, Naoki Nagayama suddenly had an impulse: "Akina, how about I go see you tomorrow?"

"Eh?" Akina on the other side was obviously surprised too. "Can Naoki-san come over?"

Naoki Nagayama didn't have any ideas for the time being, NHK, he didn't seem to know anyone... But facing his little girlfriend's question, he still said stiffly:

"What's the problem! Akina, your rehearsal is in the afternoon, right? Just wait!"

However, Akina still said very understandingly: "... If Naoki-san wants to meet... actually, it can also be in the morning, and it's not impossible in the evening..."

Naoki Nagayama heard the shy "it's not impossible in the evening," and his heart felt hot... But he immediately recited a few sentences of the Ice Heart Formula: "The heart is like ice, the sky collapses without surprise."

"In the morning, I might be pulled to edit a movie, and I have to go see a friend." Naoki Nagayama had already agreed with Genta Nakai to go see his son tomorrow noon, and it was already set, so he couldn't change the appointment. "In the evening... when Akina comes back, it's so late..."

"Do I sleep at Akina's house?" Naoki Nagayama's eyebrows jumped, and he asked with a smile.

"..." Akina on the sofa in the apartment only felt her face heat up all at once. She threw the phone aside, then fell on the large penguin doll beside her, and covered her head with its wings.

Naoki Nagayama didn't hear the sound on the phone. Was this a default? Hahaha~

"Akina? Akina?" Forget it, it's better not to tease the little girl. "Is Akina still there?"

"Yes..." A light sound.

Naoki Nagayama's tone became serious: "In short, I will go to visit the class tomorrow afternoon~"

"Hmm..." The sound was louder.

It took several minutes to coax his little girlfriend back to normal, and then he chatted with her about the fact that his good friend had actually had a child, which made people feel that the life process had accelerated a lot.

"Why does Naoki-san sound like a foreigner." Akina said. "Your friend is four years older than you, 24, 25 years old having a child, isn't it normal? Speaking of which, it's a bit late."

"Eh?"

"When my mother was 24, she had already given birth to my second brother!" Akina counted with her fingers for Naoki Nagayama, saying when she was born.

"Hahaha, as expected of such a big family." Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Then when does Akina plan to have children?"

Naoki-san, why do you always like to ask such unanswerable questions!

After chatting with his girlfriend on the phone until the early morning, Naoki Nagayama finally fell asleep. This night, for some reason, the dreams were all the sound of rain.

The next day, as soon as Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes, the first thing was to touch the bed sheet... fortunately, it wasn't wet.

Pushing away the dog who wanted to give him a face-washing service, Naoki Nagayama went to the washroom to wash away the remaining sleepiness, and the whole person went downstairs refreshed.

Breakfast doesn't have to be large, but it must be exquisite. Add a spoonful of honey to light butter and stir it evenly, brush a layer on the bread slices with a small brush, and take it out after putting it in the oven until both sides are golden yellow.

The faint burnt fragrance plus the sweetness of honey, Naoki Nagayama ate while reading the morning newspaper with fresh milk.

"Is an ordinary idol worth pursuing?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the entertainment section and suddenly popped up such an article, and couldn't help laughing. "It looks like someone can't sit still!"

With the popularity of *Twilight Meow Meow*, the Kitten Club also made a name for itself in the idol industry, and many people saw the potential of this large idol team.

However, as the "Royal Idol" manufacturers who currently occupy a monopoly position, they naturally expressed great hostility toward this new opponent.

"Lowering the image of idols, destroying the health of the industry... the reasons are all set."

Naoki Nagayama took a sip of milk and said with disdain, "Wait until the second episode comes out, let's see what else you can say..."

The Kitten Club would sweep everything with a sweeping momentum and defeat everyone who didn't look favorably on them.

"However, at that time, I guess they should play dirty tricks~"

He had already chatted with Yasushi Akimoto and Sugiura Otai about this possibility, and they were all prepared. When the time came, they would just block the soldiers and cover the water with earth.

Naoki Nagayama, who finished breakfast, still drove to the studio. After all, he escaped for half a day yesterday. If he didn't come today, Shuichi-san's phone would be called to the Mountain Cherry Garden.

"Naoki-san morning~" "Good morning~" "Naoki-san you're here~" "Hai, good morning!"

Greeting like this, Naoki Nagayama pushed open the office door: "Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, good morning!"

"Ah, Naoki-san, how did the copyright negotiation go yesterday?" Shuichi Ito asked first. "Which company? How is the price?"

"Toho, but it was just a preliminary quote, I'm not interested." Naoki Nagayama said very clearly. "And I don't plan to sell the adaptation rights of *Love Letter*. I'm filming it myself..."

"Hahaha, also, it's better to film it yourself..." Shuichi Ito said halfway, and suddenly reacted. "Naoki-san said it's already being filmed?"

Otomo Yoshimura also looked over, his eyes surprised. Why did he say it himself? Did he let it slip? Should I help cover it up?

"Ah hahaha, it's already filmed a little." Naoki Nagayama didn't want to hide it from Shuichi Ito anymore. Genta Nakai having a child made him feel a lot, and he decided not to be so childish anymore. "Sumimasen, it was filmed behind Shuichi-san's back."

"Uh..."

Although he already knew, wasn't it said that he should maintain the situation of "although I know, everyone should pretend I don't know"? Why did he suddenly explode himself now?

Naoki Nagayama saw Shuichi Ito's surprised but not angry look, and confirmed his guess in his heart: "Shuichi-san, actually you knew it long ago, right?"

"Uh..." Shuichi Ito was speechless for a while, and even felt guilty. "Hmm."

"Hahaha, since you knew, don't forget, we agreed, you're not allowed to be angry about this!" The patch Naoki Nagayama laid down before worked.

After Shuichi Ito reacted, he wanted to be angry, but found he couldn't get angry, and could only sigh and say:

"Naoki-san, you are wrong!"

"Hahaha, so didn't I apologize~" Naoki Nagayama put his hands together. "Please forgive me, do you want me to do a dogeza?"

Shuichi Ito was a bit moved: "It's not impossible..."

"Get out! Don't think I don't know, you two secretly planned to use this to pua me!" Naoki Nagayama glanced at Otomo Yoshimura, who was watching the play, making him turn his eyes away guiltily.

Seeing that he was actually criticizing himself, Shuichi Ito immediately regained the victim's mentality:

"Naoki-san, now we are talking about your mistake!"

"Hahaha, Shuichi-san, I promise to tell you next time! Let's film together!" Naoki Nagayama made a promise. "Now let's go edit the movie!"

"Wait, isn't *Love Letter* not finished filming yet? This time I can participate!" Shuichi Ito said. "I don't want to be a director, I just want to participate in filming the kind of shots that can be recorded in film history!"

Naoki Nagayama was speechless: "There aren't that many shots that can be recorded in film history!"

Shuichi Ito started outputting: "The melancholy blue in *A Scene at the Sea* and the old skateboard on the sea at the beginning have already been repeatedly studied by the Film Academy, okay!

The male and female leads walking past the coast with skateboards, the female lead running toward herself from the darkness..."

In short, the movies directed by Naoki Nagayama himself were full of wonderful imagination, very beautiful and artistic. This unique feature made it easy to create shots that made people marvel, making Shuichi Ito, who was a professional director, jealous.

"I've been filming for decades and only have one shot that can be recorded in film history (*Crows Zero* final battle, Serizawa Tamao's victory shot), Naoki-san can actually have so many in one movie..."

Seeing Shuichi Ito's expectant look, Naoki Nagayama couldn't bear to say no: "Alright... but the filming process is only a little bit left."

"Daijobu!" Shuichi Ito was very happy.

"By the way, Shuichi-san, I have things to deal with this afternoon, so I might not be able to edit~"

"Hai, leave it to me and Masataka-kun!"

Otomo Yoshimura looked at Shuichi Ito who started to become happy. Shuichi-san, you are really clearly grasped by Naoki Nagayama!

Seeing the two happily going to the editing room, Otomo Yoshimura immediately stopped Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, there's one more thing."

"?"

"Recently, a hair accessory manufacturer called... they want to buy the patent for this image."

Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment. This point was really surprising.

"Then sell it, Otomo-san, just help me negotiate the price..."

"Hai!"

When turning around and leaving, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought: "The patent for this hair accessory image seems to have a share for Akina and Meiho. How was the contract written at that time? Was it a split or a one-time buyout?"

"It looks like I have to talk to Akina in the afternoon."

The plot is only half written... too sleepy, I'll continue writing tomorrow~
