Chapter 661: He used inertia drift to corner, the car speed was very fast

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly added some hot water to the soup pot to soften the overly thick tomato beef and chicken soup.

After the shower, his empty, light body was clearly in a state of being "hollowed out," but his expression was one of satisfaction... it's just that his stomach was even hungrier~

"Naoki-san~"

A pair of lotus-root-like arms wrapped around his waist from behind, and a soft touch came from his back. Then Akina's head popped out next to his shoulder, her flushed cheeks still smelling of bath milk, rubbing against his face, smooth and tender, very comfortable...

But given the height difference between the two, this high-difficulty action must have required her to stand on tiptoe.

Naoki Nagayama tilted his head and kissed her cheek:

"Akina, you were in such a hurry to come back, you didn't eat dinner, did you?"

"I only ate a little bread..." It only takes a little over an hour from Hokkaido to Tokyo, so there is no in-flight meal. "I'm very hungry now~"

"Fortunately, I made quite a bit today..."

Naoki Nagayama started to continue washing the vegetables. Akina, who was hanging on him like a koala, also let go and started helping on the side.

When the meat fragrance filled the dining room, the fragrant tomato beef and chicken soup were served on the dining table, along with stir-fried seasonal vegetables and side dishes, plus individual grains of white rice... a home-cooked and sumptuous dinner was ready.

Akina smiled and scooped a full spoonful of beef from the soup pot for Eitaro on the side, then mixed it with dog food:

"Eitaro is such a good boy~ You helped open the door again today, so capable~ You must have a good extra meal!"

"Akina... don't you think Eitaro has gotten fat again..." Naoki Nagayama complained. Now he had to take this dog out for exercise properly. "Miaotaro too..."

"Isn't it cute to be chubby~"

Returning to the dining table, Akina also launched her dinner offensive...

The soft, rotten beef brisket was soaked in the sweet and sour tomato, yet it had a rich meat fragrance, making one's appetite wide open; the rich chicken soup was another kind of taste, nourishing and delicious; the crisp seasonal vegetables had a fresh air, balancing the taste in the mouth...

Both of them were hungry, and they didn't talk much while eating, which was comparable to Eitaro and Miaotaro, who were burying their heads in their food~

After being satisfied, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori sat on the sofa, snuggling together to digest the food after the meal. A warm atmosphere made people feel relaxed and lazy.

The TV was playing the *Yoru Hit* program recorded last week, and the two happened to see Akina being questioned by the host...

"Many people were asking me that day..." Akina said, pinching her boyfriend's fingers. "Even the host asked, but it seems to have been edited out~"

"After all, it was last week's hot topic. It's too late to show it today."

Listening to Akina singing "Sunny Day," the Japanese version of the song was completely different from the current popular style. The humming felt more like a pastoral song, not reflecting Akina's low-pitched performance skills, but it gave people a particularly gentle feeling.

Akina beside him also hummed the tune gently... like a lullaby~

"Many people wouldn't be able to accept this style of song~" Naoki Nagayama sighed. "If it weren't on the B-side of Akina's record, it might not have sold many copies."

"Not at all... it's a very beautiful song, very suitable for listening to quietly alone~"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "This kind of song should be matched with an animated movie, so that it will be more realistic~"

"Animated movie? Like *Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld*?"

"Like *Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind*... but the art style needs to be more delicate..."

Naoki Nagayama recalled the future development trend of animated movies. In this era, except for Hayao Miyazaki, other animated movies were more inclined toward the art styles of *Akira* and *City Hunter*, and animated movies hadn't truly become popular yet.

"Just like the sketch in my study..."

"That kind of animated movie? I'm a bit curious~" Akina had also seen the sketch in the study before and was very amazed by the exquisite and complex lines.

The conversation between the two made Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but think about animated movies. In the future, Japan's anime movies could be said to be a very important part of the film industry.

And at this time, the film adaptation rights of many anime had not yet been discovered by film companies. Numerous heavyweight IPs were quietly waiting for a talent scout!

Not having heard her boyfriend speak for a long time, Akina raised her head:

"Naoki-san, what are you thinking about?"

"Er... thinking about animated movies." Naoki Nagayama looked down at his girlfriend's curious eyes. "Akina, what do you think if I also produce an animated movie?"

"Eh?!" Akina sat up straight. "Is it a manga adaptation like *Crest of the Royal Family*?"

"*Crest of the Royal Family*? Sounds like a very mainstream manga. What is it about?" Naoki Nagayama thought it was a manga from the early Showa era, so he hadn't heard of it in his previous life.

Then he heard Akina Nakamori talk about it with great interest... A female archaeologist traveled back to Egypt 3,000 years ago because of studying a pharaoh's tomb, met the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, and fell in love... Love spanning 3,000 years and the ancient Egyptian era...

So it was a shojo manga... No wonder there was no memory of it in this life...

"This... shouldn't be this kind..."

"Then is it like *Glass Mask*?"

Akina's bright eyes made Naoki Nagayama not know how to answer for a moment... He didn't expect Akina to be a loyal fan of shojo manga...

He was planning to get his hands on IPs like *Dragon Ball*, *Detective Conan*, *One Piece*, and *Naruto* first!

However, refusing Akina, who was looking at him with expectant eyes, didn't seem like a wise move at this time...

Naoki Nagayama, caught in a dilemma, thought left and right... and then used a very shameless method... He blocked Akina's mouth with his own!

"Mm?"

Suddenly being kissed made Akina's eyes widen, and soon she was softened all over by her boyfriend's kiss, and then she was carried upstairs again in a daze...

They had only done it once before dinner. Sure enough, he should be thankful for his young body!

The next day was a rare cloudy day. The stuffy air and the rising temperature made people feel not very comfortable.

When Naoki Nagayama got up, Akina Nakamori had already left and had made breakfast as usual. This time it was rice balls, and she specially wrapped them with seaweed...

Naoki Nagayama, eating the rice balls and side dishes, looked at the dark clouds in the sky outside and was a bit dazed. His girlfriend was about to go on a national tour, and he would almost not be able to see her for nearly two months...

At this time, Eitaro had already finished breakfast, carried the empty rice bowl to the front of the dining table, and sat in front of him, wagging his tail and looking at his master.

"What are you looking at me for... Your breakfast is already finished. These rice balls are mine!" Naoki Nagayama showed off the rice ball in his hand to the dog. "Akina gave you extra food yesterday because you opened the door for her, but she's not here now~"

"Woof woof!"

"Even if you beg me, it's useless. If she's not here, she's not here~" Naoki Nagayama remained unmoved. "If you want extra food, Eitaro, you have to wait until Akina comes next time and open the door for her again..."

"Woof!"

Speaking of this, Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered one thing. Given the current intimacy between him and Akina, it seemed he could give her the key to his house, right~

He looked down at the dog in his house. Because of Eitaro, Akina didn't seem to need a key to open the door.

But giving a key should be a very meaningful act... So when Akina comes over next time, he will give her the key... Besides, as an exchange, Akina should also give him the key to her apartment, right?

Then he could go and "night raid" Akina!

Thinking of this, the corners of Naoki Nagayama's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had thought of some interesting scene... But looking down, Eitaro was also grinning foolishly...

"What are you grinning at? I said there's no share for you, so there's no share!"

Naoki Nagayama, having finished bullying his dog, drove his convertible to the Toyota dealership...

Speaking of which, driving a Mercedes to visit a Toyota dealership seemed a bit provocative, but the dealership manager, Akihiro Hirayama, recognized Naoki Nagayama immediately!

He didn't recognize him because Naoki Nagayama was a celebrity; Akihiro Hirayama recognized Naoki Nagayama mainly because Naoki Nagayama had bought a Toyota Century here and given him a large commission... higher than his year-end bonus!

"Naoki-san!" Akihiro Hirayama pushed aside his subordinate sales staff and came to receive Naoki Nagayama personally. "Why did you come to the store today? Does the car need maintenance?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Can a Mercedes car also be maintained at a Toyota dealership?"

There were no 4S stores in this era, but brand dealerships would also be responsible for providing additional services to VIP customers, going to car repair shops for maintenance~

"As long as Naoki-san wants, we can do it!" Akihiro Hirayama looked like anything was fine~

"Manager Hirayama, you can achieve great things!!"

Naoki Nagayama sighed with emotion, his eyes falling on the cars in the store. "I came today because I want to buy another commuter car."

"Commuter car?" Akihiro Hirayama asked curiously. "Then does Naoki-san have any other requirements?"

"Ah... no too many requirements, mainly small, durable, suitable for women to drive..."

Naoki Nagayama said so. Originally, he planned to buy a sports car for women, but during the discussion later, Akina clearly indicated that she didn't really need one...

She had a car provided by her agency and an agent and assistant like Fusanori Akio, so she basically didn't drive usually. And because she was a very famous idol, the principle of occasionally going out was not to attract attention, so driving a high-end car was completely counterproductive!

For this car, it was best to be an economical type that could blend into traffic without attracting attention...

"I see..." Akihiro Hirayama thought for a while. It looked like he was buying it for the women in his family. "In that case, Naoki-san can take a look at our newly released Sprinter Trueno. It's relatively petite and suitable for home use... It comes in two colors, red and white..."

It seemed he hadn't heard of this car model... but it was probably a family car, so it wasn't famous...

Naoki Nagayama followed Akihiro Hirayama to the display window. The moment he saw the car, Naoki Nagayama exclaimed immediately:

"AE86?!"

"Oh? Naoki-san also knows about the model of this car?" Akihiro Hirayama pointed to the car with pop-up headlights in front of him and said, "This car was just released this year, and many people think it's very good."

"The pop-up headlights and the through-type taillights are also very individual... The vehicle is positioned as a compact two-door/three-door coupe. The high-end model has a two-tone body paint, and it comes in red-black and white-black..."

Naoki Nagayama listened to Akihiro Hirayama's endless introduction of this AE86, but his mind had already returned to the time he watched the anime...

Takumi Fujiwara, the five-hairpin bend, the gutter drift, the God of Mount Akina...

It seemed he saw that racetrack where only the taillights could be seen again...

"Naoki-san?"

Suddenly a voice startled Naoki Nagayama. He blurted out, "I lost to an AE86 last night. He used inertia drift to corner, his car speed was very fast..."

"???"

Akihiro Hirayama was full of question marks, but as a senior salesman, he had naturally encountered all kinds of customers. Keeping the conversation going was his instinct:

"Ah, is that so? I didn't expect Naoki-san to go street racing at night... But speaking of which, our AE86 has very strong power among family cars. If used for drifting, it is indeed very good..."

"Er..." Naoki Nagayama was very embarrassed at this time. "Manager Hirayama, actually I didn't participate in street racing..."

"Ah!" Akihiro Hirayama seemed to understand something. "I know, celebrities naturally wouldn't participate in such dangerous sports... I will definitely keep it a secret!"

"I didn't..."

"Mm-hmm, Naoki-san naturally didn't!" Akihiro Hirayama had an "I understand" expression, and then reminded him considerately: "Naoki-san, if you want to race, it's best to join a professional racing club and participate in regular competitions. That will be safer..."

"......." Naoki Nagayama didn't want to explain anymore.

"Then Naoki-san, shall we go see other car models?"

"No need, just this one!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Anyway, he was just buying a commuter car, any car would do.

And seeing the AE86 at this time, how could he not get one?!

"Hai!" The smile on Akihiro Hirayama's face became a bit brighter. Although it wasn't a luxury car, any deal was good. "Then I will draft the contract for Naoki-san..."

"Mm, I want the top-spec Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the detailed product manual and asked, "Why are there only two colors? Isn't there a dark blue one?"

"Naoki-san, the factory series only has these two colors." Akihiro Hirayama explained. "Actually, the difference between black and dark blue isn't that big..."

"......."

But Akina likes dark blue~

"Ahem~" Naoki Nagayama coughed strategically. "Manager Hirayama, don't be so rigid~ I heard that car factories have private customization services for important customers..."

"Hai, there are customized value-added services, but they are for the dashboard, interior trim, and others..."

"Changing the color of the car, it must be possible, right!" Naoki Nagayama affirmed, and then raised the big stick of money,

"If it can be changed to dark blue, then the customization fee can also be negotiated..."

"Naoki-san, this isn't a question of the fee..."

"Ah, by the way, I have to trouble Manager Hirayama to work so hard to contact them for me..."

Naoki Nagayama knew that everything was a question of money,

"To show my gratitude, the additional customization fee will be doubled. The extra will be Manager Hirayama's thank-you gift~"

"This... alright! I will communicate with an acquaintance at the factory..."

Akihiro Hirayama originally wanted to persist, but he gave too much... ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
