Chapter 68: Bullying children also requires routines!

Seeing that several people had already admitted their mistakes and didn't look like bear children,

Nagayama Naoki didn't keep a straight face anymore and asked in a calm tone:

"Do you understand your mistakes? Where did you go wrong? You are the leader, right? You say it!"

Directly pointed at Akita Chi's name.

"This, shouldn't prank... can't peek at other people's doors..."

It seems he still doesn't understand the real reason.

Nagayama Naoki pointed at Haragami Edita, the glasses-wearing boy who looked the easiest to bully.

"What do you say? Where did you go wrong?"

"Ano, can't use water balloons, it will wet other people's doors..."

Seeing the confused expressions of several people, Nagayama Naoki shook his head.

"You guys... the old man in this house looks like he is already 80 or 90 years old.

People of this age cannot withstand accidents. If your prank scares him, or if he accidentally falls,

it may lead to very serious consequences. The most serious may be death!"

"Death?" The three elementary school students were obviously not touched. For them, this word seemed too far away.

Nagayama Naoki didn't have much to say, and he would understand slowly in the future.

However, seeing these people and thinking of yesterday's novel "Summer Garden", isn't this a destined fate?

Then try to follow the book, anyway, the result is not a big deal.

"You guys, it's okay if you don't want me to go to your home."

"Hontou?", "Not lying, right?", "That's good~"

"But, you must apologize properly and get the old man's forgiveness! Otherwise, I will still tell your parents!"

"Eh..."

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and knock on the door to admit your mistake!"

Watching several people knock on the doorbell dawdlingly, Nagayama Naoki not far away had a bit of scattered thinking. Does this count as moving the thread of fate?

The door opened, and the old man was also a bad-tempered person:

"It's you guys again! Coming to disturb my nap again?! Do you really want me to show you what's good for you?" As he said that, he was about to take a broom...

"We are here to apologize!"

"Hmm? Apologize?"

Then the three of them chattered and explained the process of the matter. It took the old man a long time to figure it out:

"You guys actually wanted to put water balloons on my door?"

"Sumimasen, it's our fault, please forgive us!" X3, I didn't expect these little ghosts to learn the traditional art of bowing and apologizing since childhood!

However, the old man didn't seem to appreciate it: "You already wanted to prank, and you want me to forgive you just by saying it? Impossible!"

The three didn't seem to have encountered this situation and didn't know what to do for a while.

Akita Chi was the first to speak: "We can do anything, please forgive us!"

The old man seemed to be considering. He looked around and said: "In that case, you pull out the grass in my yard!"

"Eh... okay then..."

Watching the three children start to pull grass, the old man looked back at Nagayama Naoki not far away and muttered:

"Meddlesome guy..."

After Nagayama Naoki threw away the garbage, he didn't go back. Seeing that several children were already pulling grass,

He went to the nearby small shop to replenish some supplies for the refrigerator.

Often buying things here, the shop owner and Nagayama Naoki are already very familiar.

While checking out, he asked:

"Boss, do you know the old man in the old house over there?"

"Nagai Tadahiro, he often comes to buy wine, what's wrong?"

Generally, such small shops that have been open for a long time are very familiar with the residents in the surrounding area. After all, they are all regular customers.

"Seeing that the yard is very messy and the house is very old, are there no children to help organize and repair it?"

"I heard that there is a daughter who married very far away. This old man's temper is not very good, so he lives alone~"

"At such an old age, living alone is very dangerous~"

"What can be done? Just live one day at a time. If you really can't take care of yourself, you can only go to a nursing home."

After chatting with the boss for a while, Nagayama Naoki returned home.

From the balcony, he could see three children weeding very seriously, and the old man was watching from the side, saying a few words from time to time.

The yard is not big, and the three of them finished it in less than an hour.

Nagayama Naoki actually sat on the balcony and watched them for an hour...

It's really boring...

Seeing that several people were about to leave after completing the work, Nagayama Naoki thought about it, but he still couldn't bully the children too hard.

He took three bottles of cola from the refrigerator, put them in a bag, and went downstairs.

Seeing several people coming out of the door, he waved for them to come over.

"Did the old man forgive you?"

"Hai, we have obtained forgiveness!"

Looking at the three faces that were red from the sun and sweating profusely, Nagayama Naoki felt that the lesson they learned this time should be enough.

"That's good, remember this lesson! I won't look for your parents, don't play this kind of prank again in the future."

Then he handed the bag to several people.

"Weeding is the condition for obtaining forgiveness, so this is the reward for sweating!"

Discovering the iced cola in the bag, the eyes of the three instantly lit up.

"Arigato!" X3

Nagayama Naoki returned upstairs and saw from the balcony that several people were walking and drinking cola, looking very happy.

Sure enough, children have no resistance to cola, especially in the 80s...

Since recalling "Summer Garden" yesterday, Nagayama Naoki felt a sense of inexplicable fate, which also prompted him to let these three children meet the old man.

However, whether it will be like the one in the novel later, Nagayama Naoki doesn't know, let it be.

Anyway, after operating like this, even the shame of being a literary plagiarist has been reduced a lot.

Feeling relaxed all of a sudden~

Next, should I look for a publisher?

Shueisha? Kodansha? Shinchosha? Or ask an acquaintance?

Tool man Funamura Otomo is going to be online again!

Nagayama Naoki dialed the studio's phone directly.

"Moxi Moxi, this is Tree Friend Film."

Due to the popularity of "Tales of the Unusual", Itou Shuichi often received calls from the crew and other consultations, so he simply used the studio's phone as the contact method for Tree Friend Film.

And Funamura Otomo has basically stayed in the studio recently, or went to the TV station.

"Shuichi-san, this is Nagayama Naoki, is Otomo-san there?"

"What's this, it's Naoki-san. Otomo-san, Naoki-san is looking for you~" Itou Shuichi called out, and then asked, "How long does Naoki-san intend to be lazy? Have you given up on editing?"

"Haha, isn't there Shuichi-san to check? I have absolute confidence in Shuichi-san!" He laughed and complimented.

Nagayama Naoki didn't dare to call Itou Shuichi recently, just because he was afraid of being urged to work.

"Naoki-san, I'm here." Fortunately, Funamura Otomo took the phone in time, "Is there anything you want me for?"

"Hai, Otomo-san used to work in magazines. I called to ask if there are any connections in the publishing house."

"If it's a publishing house, of course I know someone. Does Naoki-san want to make a magazine?" Funamura Otomo thought that Nagayama Naoki had some new plan for publicity, such as publishing a single magazine.

"No, actually I wrote a novel during this time and plan to try to see if it can be published, so I want to ask first."

Without any intention of hiding, Nagayama Naoki said directly, anyway, everyone will definitely know later.

"Writing a novel? And want to publish it?"

Funamura Otomo was surprised by Nagayama Naoki again. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
