Chapter 577

Having almost decided on the matter of going to Tokyo, Naoki Nagayama then bid farewell to Grandfather.

When driving back to Big Brother's new home, the sky had gradually begun to darken. But Big Brother Aoki couldn't be idle and was leveling the land in the courtyard.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously after entering the door.

"Ah, Naoki is back." Naoki Aoki scratched his head, "I plan to make a sandbox in the courtyard so that Yaso can play in the sandbox in the future..."

Good idea... very advanced parenting concept!

But Naoki Nagayama saw the cat walking on the road on the way back, and he could also see their lazy figures on the roofs of other neighbors... Perhaps after the sandbox is built, it will become a luxury public toilet for these guys...

"Naoki, what do you think?" Big Brother asked, leaning on a shovel.

Naoki Nagayama paused, gave a thumbs up, and grinned: "Big Brother, Yaso will definitely like it!"

After continuing to clean up in the afternoon, the new house already had a somewhat warm appearance. Mother, Tsuruko, and Xiangjia-jie were all in the Japanese-style room teasing Yaso while chatting casually.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama return, they all raised their heads to look at him. Mother Nana-ko said: "Naoki, have you seen Grandfather?"

"Hai, I saw him."

"Is Grandfather's health still okay?"

"Hai, he is in high spirits." After Naoki Nagayama briefly talked about Grandfather's situation, he asked Tsuruko, "Tsuruko, it's not early anymore. If you go back to Tokyo now, it won't be too late. Do you want to go back to Tokyo? Or spend the weekend at home?"

"Of course I'm going back!"

Tsuruko had no reluctance at all. Anyway, she was no longer the most focused person in this family, so she didn't want to compete for favor with Yaso.

Naoki Nagayama nodded: "Then Mother, do you want me to take you back to the old house? I can pick up the box on the way back."

"No need to be so troublesome." Naoki Aoki said, "I will take Mother back after dinner! I still have to go to the izakaya to prepare ingredients for tomorrow..."

"I see, that's fine. Say hello to Father for me~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and didn't have too much reluctance. After all, he had just returned not long ago.

On the way back to Tokyo, listening to Tsuruko constantly saying how cute Yaso was, Naoki Nagayama was a little curious:

"Tsuruko, do you want to have children in the future?"

"Eh? Me?" Tsuruko was suddenly a little speechless, and then thought about it, "I should have them!"

"How many?"

"This... two?" Tsuruko answered a little uncertainly, and then looked at her brother very shyly, "Baka Nii-chan, why ask these suddenly?!"

"Just suddenly a little curious..."

Naoki Nagayama thought about the trend of low birth rate in Japan in the future. When did it start? The habit of this era is still to have more children.

"Then how many does Nii-chan want to have?"

"..." Naoki Nagayama was suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't thought about this yet."

"Why?" Tsuruko also became interested, "Nii-chan has so much money, don't you want to give it to me to inherit if you don't have children?"

"..." I knew my sister was eyeing my vast family fortune!

"Even if I donate it, I won't give it to you!"

Naoki Nagayama said hatefully.

"..."

When returning to Tokyo, it was already nearly 8 o'clock. Naoki Nagayama saw that it was almost Chiyoda, so he asked: "Is Tsuruko staying at Shanyingyuan for one night today, or going back to the apartment in Waseda?"

"Back to the apartment!" Tsuruko said very firmly.

This attitude made Naoki Nagayama very puzzled: "Eh? Clearly you often wanted to stay here before, why don't you want to go now?"

"Who knows if Nii-chan's house will have any 'confidantes' again!" Tsuruko still remembered the embarrassment of meeting Akina Nakamori suddenly before.

"... Akina went abroad to work, she is not at Shanyingyuan."

"Yeah, who knows if Nii-chan's house will have any 'confidantes' again!" Tsuruko said the second time with a wink, "After all, you have the nickname of being a playboy!"

"... Tsuruko, you are ruining my reputation!" What kind of person do you think your own brother is!

"In short, I'd better go back!"

It must be said that Japan's "don't disturb" culture is still very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since knowing that her brother has a girlfriend, Tsuruko hasn't thought about continuing to borrow a room at Shanyingyuan.

Seeing his sister's firm appearance, Naoki Nagayama didn't think much and sent her directly back to Waseda.

After returning to Shanyingyuan, he received a warm welcome from Eitaro. The increasingly thick tail hit people more and more painfully!

Having driven for a day, Naoki Nagayama, who was a little tired, didn't have much appetite, so he took out the stored instant noodles from the storage box in the kitchen and then used a snow pan to directly catch water and boil them.

Add two green vegetables, plus a few slices of large sausage and bacon, and then add an egg, and a convenient and nutritious dinner is ready.

Why do many people like to eat instant noodles? Because that kind of fragrance is really very attractive!

Even Eitaro and Miaotaro were attracted! But this time they weren't shared with them, and Naoki Nagayama finished eating quickly.

When it was nearly nine o'clock, the pager beeped again, and Naoki Nagayama dialed it directly.

"Naoki-san!" The voice in the receiver sounded enthusiastic and happy.

"Has Akina's work finished today?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "Is it still the same intensity as when you first went?"

"The filming intensity is about the same, but I've already adapted!" Akina in the receiver looked like she didn't want people to worry, and instead happily talked about the interesting things about the scenery in Guandao, "Naoki-san, it's different from Hawaii. The seafood here is more delicious!"

Naoki Nagayama echoed his little girlfriend's words and also talked about the daily interesting things such as returning to his hometown and seeing his half-year-old little nephew. At this time, he suddenly remembered the question he asked his sister in the car:

"Akina, how many children do you plan to have in the future?"

"Eh?!!!"

Akina in the hotel was originally lying on the bed very loosely. After hearing this question, she sat up nervously, and her face also showed a look of surprise and joy.

The voice in the receiver continued to come: "Akina, you weren't born in a big family of 6 children, right? I don't know if there will be any difference in the problem of having children compared to others?"

Akina, who came back to her senses, had a hesitant expression on her face, and her tone was also a little tangled: "If it's six like my family, it seems to be a bit too many. Maybe there isn't enough attention for the children. If it's one, it seems it will be very lonely... two? three?"

Tangled to the end, she asked a little shyly: "Naoki-san, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama didn't have children in two lifetimes, so he didn't have any special thoughts. Asking was just out of curiosity, "Let's listen to Akina..."

Akina Nakamori in Guandao only felt that the voice in the receiver was like a ringing drum, knocking in her heart one by one, and she seemed to be able to hear the thumping heartbeat.

Planning the future with the person you love, this feeling is really too good. I really want to fly back to Tokyo immediately to hug my lover!

The lingering love words are always endless, but time passes really quickly, and it was midnight before I knew it.

Knowing that everything was fine with his girlfriend abroad, Naoki Nagayama also felt relieved... But there was one thing he was still quite concerned about. Akina said that the senior idol from Johnny's seemed to always want to chat with her these two days, which made people very troubled.

"That guy Masahiko Kondo..." Naoki Nagayama subconsciously thought of the cold seawater of Tokyo Bay and the empty barrels piled up at the pier...

But he soon shook his head. Things can't be done like this! How can you break the law for that kind of person!

"Must think of a way to make this guy leave the entertainment industry!"

Naoki Nagayama made up his mind. After all, the entertainment industry is not big or small. The probability of Akina meeting this guy in the future is still very high.

The next day is the weekend!

Although most companies are on holiday, there is no such thing as a holiday in the entertainment industry. The holiday should be even busier.

Although Naoki Nagayama likes to give himself a holiday very much, there is indeed something this weekend. He has to go to Fuji TV.

So after walking Eitaro, he drove his convertible to the Fuji headquarters building in Kawada-cho, Shinjuku-ku.

There are not many pedestrians on the road on the weekend, at least the morning peak is gone. Naoki Nagayama was able to walk leisurely between the reinforced concrete, seeing strings of golden winter jasmine already in full bloom among the green leaves, and by the way, he could appreciate the blooming white magnolia and ask about the rich fragrance.

When arriving in Shinjuku, Naoki Nagayama found that it was spring, and there were many more fashionable and good-looking young ladies!

Arriving at the Fuji building is like returning to his own home. The guard didn't even look at him and let him go directly into the parking garage. This convertible is very familiar.

This time he didn't go to find Tai Sugiura. Naoki Nagayama went directly to the studio prepared for the "New Words and Buzzwords Awards" on the second floor. The external interviews were basically completed, and now it was the indoor recording stage.

After pushing open the studio door, Naoki Nagayama saw Haruta Kamiya directing many staff members inside.

"Kamiya-san."

"Ah, Naoki-san is here!" Haruta Kamiya greeted Naoki Nagayama, "Look, our main background is finished! The buzzwords for this month are all written on it!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the main background. Sure enough, it was full of buzzwords, about a dozen. Naoki Nagayama's "Next, it's commercial time" and "In my BGM, no one can defeat me" were all on it.

Even after a period of time, seeing these two sentences, Naoki Nagayama was still a bit embarrassed...

"Not bad~" To tell the truth, the prop team in this era is definitely top-notch!

Haruta Kamiya pointed to a row of windows above the studio and said: "The previous interview content has been edited and is all in the control room. After the recording here is finished, it will be edited together."

"Yeah, Naotaro Nakanishi's speed is still very fast." Naoki Nagayama said, "Is he the host today too?"

"No, although Nakanishi-san has a lot of interview experience, he is still lacking in hosting variety shows." Haruta Kamiya explained, "The recording of the first episode of the program is highly valued by the department head, so we invited the currently popular host—Sanma Akashiya."

"Eh? Is it him?" Naoki Nagayama had cooperated with this comedian once. In this era, he was in the period of rising popularity and was a rising comedian in the entertainment industry.

"Hai, this new entertainment program is better with a younger orthodox comedian. Nakanishi-san will temporarily serve as an assistant host."

Haruta Kamiya said that Sanma Akashiya is a comedian with a master, more orthodox than Tamori, and his hosting style is gentler than Takeshi Kitano. As a variety show that requires both seriousness and entertainment, he is very suitable.

"I see." Naoki Nagayama nodded and didn't say much more.

Haruta Kamiya handed Naoki Nagayama a program script and asked him to prepare first... As one of the big gimmicks, Naoki Nagayama naturally had to go on stage.

As more and more people came, Sanma Akashiya also arrived:

"Naoki Nagayama-sensei, we meet again. Please give me more advice for the recording later!"

"Akashiya-san, don't call me sensei anymore... It feels a bit inconsistent... Hahaha~" Naoki Nagayama joked easily.

The status of writers in Japan is indeed high. Since winning the Naoki Prize, many people who saw him later would respectfully call him sensei... But it sounds very strange to him... He is so young, and it doesn't feel like he is a person of high prestige...

"Hai, then I will call you Naoki-san..." Sanma Akashiya is of course a smart person. After feeling the kindness, he immediately pulled in the distance and chatted, "Speaking of which, it's been more than a year since we last met."

"Yeah, it's really been a long time~" Last time recording the program, I hadn't confessed to Akina yet!

The two chatted a little about the recent situation, and Sanma Akashiya also offered late congratulations, etc.

During the conversation between the two, many people at the source of the buzzwords had arrived. Most of them were ordinary people, and they didn't have to work on the weekend.

When the recording officially started, Naoki Nagayama, as the only famous guest, went on stage with the host.

However, for the other buzzwords that followed, Sanma Akashiya called people on stage one by one.

What Naoki Nagayama didn't expect was that there was actually a buzzword related to him.

"Why is it 'Justice from Heaven'?" Sanma Akashiya asked the patrol officer of the Sapporo Toyohira Police Station—Masaharu Yoshihara, "Patrol Officer Yoshihara, from the VTR just now, this buzzword was said by you when you accepted an interview after the 'Shiromaru-kun Disappearance Case' was closed, right?"

"Hai!" Masaharu Yoshihara said, "The reason why I said justice from heaven is actually for two reasons."

"On the one hand, it refers to the fact that under the leadership of Patrol Chief Masaharu Takeshita, our police station successfully cracked the kidnapping case, saving Shiromaru-kun like soldiers from heaven."

Masaharu Yoshihara still knows how to give his boss face, and he doesn't forget to praise the chief's bravery in the program. Presumably, he will definitely be promoted this year!

"On the other hand, there is actually one point that makes people very puzzled, and even a little mysterious!"

"When we were desperately looking for Shiromaru-kun but had no clues, a letter saying 'Shiromaru-kun is in Kudo Kazuko's cardboard box, taken away by car' fell from the sky! We were able to save the victim immediately!"

Sanma Akashiya exclaimed very cooperatively: "Really?"

The audience off the stage also discussed buzzing.

"Yes, no name or other information was left, but what makes people even more surprised is that the address where this letter was sent was actually Chiyoda in Tokyo!!"

Masaharu Yoshihara said very excitedly and took out the evidence packed in a plastic bag from his pocket, "This is the evidence I specially applied for from the police station. It is that letter!"

The evidence was circulated among the people on stage, and the camera also focused on it.

Naoki Nagayama was very embarrassed at this time because this letter was printed by himself with a typewriter, and then after sealing it, he drove to find a mailbox in Chiyoda and threw it out.

Coincidentally, Sanma Akashiya confirmed with Masaharu Yoshihara very surprisingly:

"Sent from Tokyo? Sent to Hokkaido?"

"Hai! And that day the case was officially reported in the newspaper, it was just a disappearance case!" Masaharu Yoshihara was very sure, "We didn't know how a person in Tokyo could be so clear about the case in Hokkaido!"

"This... if it's true, why didn't he sign his name?"

"Yeah, we are also very puzzled. The police station will definitely issue a letter of thanks! And Shiromaru-kun's family also expressed gratitude! You know, that family is a wealthy and powerful big family!"

"It's really an amazing story!" Sanma Akashiya suddenly thought of something at this time, "Naoki-san, you said before that your home is in Chiyoda, right? Have you heard any news?"

Naoki Nagayama's mood suddenly became nervous. He really didn't expect that such a casual act of saving someone would actually find him again at this time!

Causality, it is really not easy to move around!

"I also saw the news of this case in the newspaper, but at that time it only said that he was lost. I didn't expect to find out later that he was kidnapped." Naoki Nagayama tried his best to maintain his facial expression, showing surprise and inquiry, "Did you really not find the sender of the letter?"

Masaharu Yoshihara sighed: "Typed by a typewriter, the letter paper, envelope, and stamp are all mass-produced goods... can't find it..."

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly echoed: "It's just like the plot in a novel!"

This remark gained the approval of the audience off the stage, and even Sanma Akashiya sighed at this time:

"The report letter from thousands of miles away is really 'justice from heaven'!"

I didn't expect a buzzword to cause so many stories. Sanma Akashiya felt that even if this program only had this one gimmick, it would be attractive enough.

The buzzwords that followed naturally didn't have this legendary nature, but they were all buzzwords that were popular for a while in various places.

But when it comes to national influence, it is naturally Naoki Nagayama's "In my BGM, no one can defeat me."

Sanma Akashiya said: "The last buzzword today was invented by Naoki-san next to me!"

Just at this time, the music of "Into the Battlefield" sounded.

A group of actors playing bad guys, wearing crooked school uniforms, with an arrogant look, walked across the main stage in the music of "Into the Battlefield"...

Naoki Nagayama didn't expect that they would play this trick at the finale. Director Haruta Kamiya actually found a group of people... So when the camera gave it to Naoki Nagayama, he was covering his face... It was simply social death!

How could I say such a secondary line when I was awarding the prize!

"Naoki-san, Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?"

Sanma Akashiya kept making up the knife...

"Akashiya-san... this stage shouldn't be hard, right?"

"Eh? It's made of composite board, it's not too hard... Naoki-san, why do you ask this?"

"That's great, I want to dig a hole and drill into it!" Naoki Nagayama wailed while covering his face, "That way I don't have to face such a shameful moment again!"

Hahaha~ The host, guests, and audience on and off the stage all laughed loudly... The atmosphere of the entire studio instantly became lively.

The recording of the first episode of "New Words and Buzzwords Awards" can be said to be very smooth, but what Naoki Nagayama didn't expect was,

"Dig a hole and drill into it" seems to have the potential to become the buzzword for the next episode...
