Chapter 596: A bizarre way to visit the set!

~13 min read 2,402 words

"Lust is a knife?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the two friends of different ages walking away together and curled his lips in disdain.

How could a young man in his twenties listen to the words of old men in their seventies or eighties and quit lust!

When they were young, they played more wildly than anyone else!

Isn't there a saying, if you only enjoy life, enjoy food, enjoy love when you are young... then when you are old... basically you won't have any regrets~

"Forget it! Go find a girlfriend!"

After thinking it through, Naoki Nagayama immediately decided that he couldn't let down this youthful age, drove his convertible sports car to the location where Akina Nakamori was rehearsing~

Twilight was the most brilliant time of the day. The setting sun restrained its light, like a golden-red disc, carrying evening clouds like gauze, draped over the horizon.

Twilight was coming, but the sky was not dark.

White scattered clouds, in the red sunset, instead presented a bright blue, mysterious and vast.

The evening clouds fell into the city of reinforced concrete, dyeing the high-rise buildings with a thin blush, appearing a bit unreal.

Naoki Nagayama's brain got hot and he ran to the area where Fuji TV was located... Akina was recording a strange funny short film here, and performing "South Wind".

However... if he just went up to find Akina like this, it would be equivalent to making it public in the entertainment industry... Seeing that he was about to arrive, Naoki Nagayama slowed down a bit and started thinking...

"Need to find an excuse!"

When passing a fork in the road, a fragrance of fried food drifted over... Naoki Nagayama saw a very prosperous snack street in the fork of the street, full of snack stalls transformed from small carts.

Inside the snack stalls were ingredients similar to Oden... emitting a strong fragrance...

It was dinner time, Naoki Nagayama's stomach suddenly became restless. At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind.

In the preparation group of "Twilight Meow Meow", Tai Sugiura was communicating with Yasushi Akimoto about the recording process tonight. A tempting fragrance suddenly came from outside the open office door...

"Akimoto-san, in tonight's recording, let the contestants play more of their own characteristics... Wait, what is this smell?" Tai Sugiura twitched his nose twice, "So fragrant..."

"Seems to be the smell of miso soup?" Yasushi Akimoto also smelled this fragrance.

The members in the preparation group office soon smelled such a fragrance and began to discuss it one after another.

The two turned their heads and saw Naoki Nagayama dragging a paper tube, inside which were various skewers like tofu, radish, crab sticks, kelp knots, etc., eating while walking in:

"Tai-san, Akimoto-san! I came to see you!"

"......"

When you are hungry, the feeling of someone suddenly soaking a bowl of instant noodles... everyone knows it, right? That is an impulse that makes saliva uncontrollably secrete.

Tai Sugiura couldn't help but smile bitterly after being surprised: "Naoki-san, bringing Oden to visit the set when it's almost time to get off work, are you doing it on purpose?"

"This is not Oden... Forget it, this is Kyoto-style miso... Oden..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "This is a snack I saw on the road. I tried it and felt it was very delicious! So I specially brought it for you to taste..."

Yasushi Akimoto looked at the few skewers of food in the paper tube and said gloomily:

"So everyone can only taste one bite..."

The others in the office had tangled expressions. If they only tasted one bite, it was completely opening their appetite, right? Still only let Tai Sugiura, Yasushi Akimoto, Rumi Nishi and a few people eat? Others just watch?

This was too conscience-losing... Everyone's eyes looking at Naoki Nagayama were full of entanglement and resentment.

"How is that possible!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "These are all mine!"

"......."

Actually didn't even share with others? This was asking for hatred! Everyone's eyes began to become dangerous~

However, Naoki Nagayama said next:

"Yours... are all at the door!"

So he turned around and let the big door out. The front of a small cart poked out, and then it was the bubbling big bucket of Oden, and an uncle with a towel tied around his head...

Rumi Nishi opened her mouth wide and said incredibly: "Naoki-san... you actually brought the Oden snack stall over!"

"Too reckless!" Yasushi Akimoto also opened his eyes wide.

"Ah... yes!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Thinking that there must be many people in the Fuji building, I definitely couldn't take it myself. Even if I packed it, it would be cold by the time I got here... So I simply let the snack stall owner push the cart over!"

Tai Sugiura was astonished: "The nearest snack street is two kilometers away! Also... how were you able to push it into the building!"

"Haha, the journey was a bit far, so I chatted with the uncle while walking over." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "But it was indeed a bit troublesome when coming in. However, I used the name of filming props, plus the bribe of Oden, to let the security uncle let people in!"

"Fortunately, the freight elevator is big enough, otherwise the small cart wouldn't have come up!"

After all, Fuji TV often has large props and equipment that need to go up and down, and the space of the freight elevator is very large.

It was also because Naoki Nagayama was relatively well-known, and the security guards at Fuji TV all knew him, that he was allowed to do such a bizarre thing.

"You..." Tai Sugiura didn't know what to say, "Really painstaking..."

"Haha, Tai-san, don't say it anymore, come and eat quickly!" Naoki Nagayama said, "I have to visit others later!"

Tai Sugiura was speechless: "It wasn't prepared for us?"

"It was prepared for the people I know together, otherwise how could I let the uncle push the small cart over?!" In this small cart, it could supply Oden for more than 50 people!

During the conversation between the two, Rumi Nishi and others happily said thank you to Naoki Nagayama, and then went to the uncle of the small cart to pick the things they liked to eat.

The sound of laughter made employees in other offices in the corridor poke their heads out to see what happened here, but after seeing that the small cart could actually enter the building, everyone was extremely surprised.

However, the naturally reserved Japanese people just took a look and didn't come up to eat together... even though everyone's saliva was secreting rapidly~

Seeing that Tai Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto and the others had all taken some Oden more or less, Naoki Nagayama said:

"Tai-san, I'm going to visit others... I'll come up and chat with you later~"

"Yes... go ahead~"

Tai Sugiura was happily eating Oden and nodded to Naoki Nagayama's statement.

Naoki Nagayama led the uncle of the snack stall towards the third floor. He had already named names on Tai Sugiura's side. With this beginning, going to Akina's studio didn't seem abrupt... right?

Letting the small cart wait at the door, Naoki Nagayama pushed open the door of the studio. Inside was a quite spacious space, but it was currently before the process of preparing for recording.

The famous Japanese comedian Ken Shimura was communicating with the on-site director Komei Otsuka, and other actors were preparing for recording. When not recording, the studio was actually quite harmonious, and everyone could chat and talk.

After Naoki Nagayama pushed the door in, he discovered Director Komei Otsuka, as well as the broadcast director Haruta Kamiya, and the cameraman Naoto Tsuji were all his acquaintances, and among the actors were also the relatively familiar Toshihiko Tahara, Naoko Kawai, and the most familiar Akina Nakamori.

Fortunately... if only Akina Nakamori knew him, that would be miserable!

"Naoki-san!"

Haruta Kamiya saw Naoki Nagayama first, but the appearance of holding a paper tube of Oden in one hand like this was really a bit peculiar,

"Why did you come over?"

Haruta Kamiya walked to the door, attracting the attention of some people in the studio, and the guests recording also looked over.

Surprise appeared in Akina Nakamori's eyes. What's going on? Why did Naoki-san come over?!

"Ah... I just went to visit the 'Twilight Meow Meow' preparation group, and thought there were acquaintances here too, so I brought some food to visit..." Naoki Nagayama said.

Haruta Kamiya looked at the Oden with not many skewers left in Naoki Nagayama's hand: "... Oden?"

"Yes, at this time, everyone is hungry, right?" Naoki Nagayama waved at Akina Nakamori and Naoko Kawai in the guest area, "Kamiya-san, let everyone rest for a while, it doesn't matter if you eat something, right?"

"It doesn't matter much now... it's in the gap of recording..." Haruta Kamiya swallowed a mouthful of saliva smelling the rich fragrance. Why were these few skewers of Oden so fragrant?!

"However, Naoki-san, your Oden doesn't seem to be enough to share..."

"Who said this was for you? This is my own!" Naoki Nagayama opened the door and let the small cart in, "This is yours!"

"Naoki-san, you actually moved the small stall over?!"

Haruta Kamiya was surprised and couldn't close his mouth. Other employees who saw the movement also looked over, and everyone was a bit stunned.

"Yes, Kamiya-san, let everyone share a portion!" Naoki Nagayama found that he had attracted everyone's attention, and hurriedly let Haruta Kamiya explain to everyone, "I'll go say hello to a friend."

"Ah... yes..." Since eating someone's food makes one's mouth soft, Haruta Kamiya naturally greeted the staff to come and share.

And Naoki Nagayama walked to the side of the guests,

"Tahara-san, Naoko-chan, and Akina-chan..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Are you playing students today?"

Everyone was wearing props and makeup as students... but it wasn't too peculiar, after all, it was a funny short play~

"Yes, today we are recording the first day of school..." Toshihiko Tahara said, "Naoki-san, you came over to..."

"Visit the set, visit the set..."

Naoki Nagayama glanced at Akina, turned his head and talked to several other people he knew,

"Haven't seen you for a long time?" "How have you been recently?" "I've heard Naoko-chan's new song~"... skillfully exchanged greetings with several acquaintances, "I brought delicious Oden, everyone can go and taste it~"

Because the employees had already gone over and were bustling around the small stall choosing things they liked to eat, the guests here also walked over in a happy atmosphere.

Finally arrived at Akina Nakamori's side.

"Naoki-san, why did you come?" Akina's tone was a bit excited, and the smile on her face was also very vivid.

"Come to see you~" Naoki Nagayama handed over the Oden in his hand, "Inside is the tofu you like and others, all added with spicy~"

"Eh~~~" Akina happily took it, and then happily took a bite, "Delicious~~~"

"I ate it at the snack street and felt it must suit Akina's taste, so I specially brought it for Akina to taste!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "If it's not enough, there is more in the small cart."

"You moved the snack stall over, and it was all for me?!"

Akina Nakamori was jumping for joy in her heart. Although it was not a love symbol like fresh flowers, gifts, jewelry, etc., her boyfriend actually moved the snack stall to the studio just to let her eat something delicious...

Such heart was the most moving!

Besides, this kind of behavior, no one else had ever done it, right!

"When will Akina's recording end?"

"Seems to be around 8 o'clock in the evening..." Akina's face was like a squirrel, after all, it was officially meal time, and her stomach was indeed hungry, "Might be delayed a little bit."

"Then I'll chat with the people at Fuji TV about the program, and we'll go back together in the evening~"

"Yes~"

Because there were still many people around, Naoki Nagayama could only chat with Akina for a few words and set the time to go back together,

Watching Akina already eating happily, Naoki Nagayama returned to the guests again and chatted with them.

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, I am Ken Shimura, please give me your advice~" Ken Shimura walked to the side and laughed, "However, giving such delicious Oden upon first meeting, I am really treated well!"

"Haha, not at all, this is just an ordinary gift for visiting the set."

Naoki Nagayama looked at this famous comedian. In his previous life's memory, the first impression of this guy was actually a lecherous uncle, but now he still looked very kind.

"I also watched Mr. Nagayama's new movie, it's really a very good movie!" Ken Shimura continued to praise, "The scenes are still vivid in my mind!"

"'April Story'? That was just presenting the most moving scenes in my mind." Naoki Nagayama said modestly, "Mr. Shimura feels deeply impressed, it must be because you also have beautiful memories of secret crushes in your heart~"

"Haha, I confessed directly~" Ken Shimura laughed.

"......" Why are they all like this... Aren't Japanese people very shy?!

However, Ken Shimura talked about the main topic next: "Mr. Nagayama, there are a few plots inside that I think are very interesting. Can I use them in my program?"

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "Isn't Mr. Shimura's program a funny short play?"

"Haha, for example, the plot of running away from the side of people kissing is very interesting... The plot of changing umbrellas but all being broken umbrellas is also very interesting..." Ken Shimura said, "I want to convert them into short plays..."

"Ha, no problem!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "If I can see Mr. Shimura's short play, wouldn't that also be very interesting?"

"By the way, my idol Momoko Kikuchi can also participate!"

"The heroine?" Ken Shimura was interested, "That couldn't be better!"

As a famous comedian, Ken Shimura had great autonomy in the program, and the program was also very famous, so if newcomers could participate, it would be very beneficial for their exposure.

The two chatted about Momoko Kikuchi participating in Ken Shimura's program~ Soon the rough participation time was determined, just waiting for the signing later~

Didn't expect that treating someone to a meal of Oden could chat out a notice... ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
