Chapter 816: I

"..."

Watching Akina wash her face and start applying makeup, still the kind of very exquisite makeup, Naoki Nagayama couldn't sit still,

"Akina... there's no need to be so formal..."

"Didn't you say they were coming to thank us?" Akina Nakamori was patting strange powder on her face, still answering, "I was even thinking about whether to wear a kimono..."

"???"

Is it that exaggerated? Is there any misunderstanding in my understanding? Isn't it just coming to say thank you?

Akina, who often wears makeup, moved very quickly. Before long, she drew a calm makeup that didn't look too bright, and then changed out of her casual jeans and into a formal skirt.

"Naoki-san..." She looked at the thin sweater her boyfriend was wearing, which looked neat and tidy, "Forget it, Naoki-san, just like this~"

"..." I'm really sorry for not wearing a suit at home~

After both of them were almost ready, they put away the dog's food bowl...

He comforted the dog in passing: "Eitaro, save the bone for now, eat it tomorrow, okay~"

"Wang wang wang! (Don't keep your word!)"

"Really, I won't grab yours..."

"Wang wang! (I don't believe it!)"

"..."

In the end, in front of the dog, he put the bones away and placed them under his small nest... Eitaro lay on the small nest and wouldn't leave~

"This silly dog..." Naoki Nagayama touched Nyataro who was licking his paws, "Nyataro is still more sensible..."

"Ding dong~"

When Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were sitting on the sofa talking, the doorbell rang. Akina hurriedly stood up and opened the door~

Momoe Yamaguchi wearing a kimono and Tomokazu Miura wearing a formal suit stood at the door... They really wore kimonos...

"Sorry for the intrusion, it's really rude~" Tomokazu Miura and his wife at the porch bowed slightly, and then took out the gifts they brought, "A little heart, not a respect~"

"You are too polite, thank you very much..."

Akina accepted the souvenirs, thanked them again and again, and then greeted the two to change their shoes and enter the living room.

After arriving in the living room, Naoki Nagayama had long since stood up to greet the two... There was not much plot of mutual introduction, after all, Tomokazu Miura was still mixing in the entertainment industry, and had seen Akina several times at large events... just nodding acquaintances~

After the meeting ceremony was completed, several people sat down in the living room, and Tomokazu Miura officially thanked Naoki Nagayama:

"In the accident downstairs today, thank you very much for Naoki-san's help... otherwise Momoe and Yutaro would be very troublesome~"

"Nothing... it's just that these paparazzi are really too much..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Even if they were public figures in the past, Momoe-san has already retired now. No matter what, they shouldn't block the car..."

"Sigh... in the current entertainment industry, the media only pursues attention, and paparazzi don't follow the rules, it's really... too impetuous~"

Tomokazu Miura married a national idol and let her retire completely to stay at home and teach her children, which itself is very controversial. Since the marriage, he has been annoyed by these paparazzi and doesn't know what to say.

"What paparazzi pursue is money, what the media wants is explosive points, and what the public expects is fresh things..." Naoki Nagayama knew the Internet era of the future very well, "So right and wrong, good and evil, morality, actually don't matter that much~"

"Yeah... now everything is looking at money..."

Tomokazu Miura nodded. He came from the era of Showa men. At least ten years ago, everyone still paid attention to things like reputation, decency, and benevolence.

Momoe Yamaguchi nodded in agreement on the side. She naturally had deep feelings for crazy paparazzi and reporters.

"Please use~" Akina Nakamori brought hot tea, "Are you talking about paparazzi and reporters?"

"Yeah, have you experienced being surrounded by paparazzi, Akina-chan?" Momoe Yamaguchi asked.

"Hai, when I first debuted, the place I lived was also found... and I moved..." Akina Nakamori was also very troubled, "And my hometown, there are always strange people going to take pictures, and even the neighbors were harassed..."

"There are indeed some people who will go to the hometown..."

Momoe Yamaguchi's hometown naturally couldn't avoid being disturbed by reporters, but her mother had moved, so it was nothing now~

"However, the place where I live now is very hidden, so no one has come to disturb me." Akina Nakamori laughed.

"Eh? Didn't you move to Takanawa because of harassment?" Momoe Yamaguchi was curious. She thought the two moved to a place with 24-hour security to avoid paparazzi.

Naoki Nagayama explained:

"That's not it, it's just that Sanyingyuan is under renovation, so I moved over temporarily to transition~"

"I see..." Tomokazu Miura sighed, "It's just a pity that Nagayama-san and Akina-chan moved to the 80 Building. The paparazzi here have always been many... not just because of me and Momoe, but also other celebrities..."

Akina Nakamori worried: "Momoe-san, are you often surrounded by paparazzi like today?"

"It's not like that usually, it's just that today is a bit excessive..."

After listening for a long time, Naoki Nagayama was curious: "Tomokazu-san and Momoe-san know so many people, can't you find acquaintances to let these paparazzi restrain themselves?"

Momoe Yamaguchi sighed: "I have already retired, it's not convenient to trouble others... Tomokazu is still working in the entertainment industry, and he can't react too strongly to the media..."

"But... Momoe-san has so many fans, as long as you let the wind out... there will surely be people willing to help solve it, right?"

Momoe Yamaguchi paused:

"Actually, if you can't retire completely, and you still bear the name of Momoe Yamaguchi to seek help, then you will be pulled back into the entertainment industry..."

Momoe Yamaguchi really didn't want to go back to the entertainment industry. Although she was infinitely beautiful after her debut, who could get rid of the hardships of fighting in it...

Although due to fame and some other reasons, the agency finally agreed to her retirement and handled her marriage, but the cash cow at the peak of her career stopped doing it, and the film production company related to HoriPro lost at least a quarter of its revenue. Which boss can really laugh?

All kinds of things behind the scenes are places Momoe Yamaguchi doesn't want to look back on~

"That's true..."

Akina Nakamori sighed. If she hadn't had the support of Naoki Nagayama, this big tree, she would just be a "commodity" now.

However, Naoki Nagayama was a bit unhappy. Although his time living in Takanawa was short, he was always being watched by paparazzi, which was also very troublesome...

"However, always being harassed by paparazzi will disturb daily life... Are there no residents complaining?"

Tomokazu Miura shook his head: "The police have no good way... They run away when they come to patrol..."

"Very troublesome..." It's like a fly...

That is to say, there is no good way to solve this kind of thing on the surface~

Should I... find Kaede-dage?

If they get beaten a few times nearby, the paparazzi should be able to remember it, right?

However, I'll call Otomo-san first... to avoid the matter of using Eitaro today being leaked...

The chat in the room was still going on. They also had excellent idol careers and were closely related to the entertainment industry, so everyone started from common pain points, and then talked about family and career, but both families were very measured and didn't ask about any privacy~

At nine o'clock, Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura said goodbye.

By the time they washed up and lay on the bed ready to sleep, Akina Nakamori was still a bit excited:

"I didn't expect Momoe-san to be such a person... she is also very gentle when speaking in private..."

Naoki Nagayama hugged Akina and said curiously: "Akina, I found... singers who sing bass, do they speak softly in private, so they will seem gentle..."

"How could there be such a thing..." Akina Nakamori gently patted Naoki Nagayama's chest, "Clearly Momoe Yamaguchi-san herself is very gentle!"

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama recalled that although wearing a kimono felt very gentle, in his feeling, Momoe Yamaguchi should be considered a very assertive feeling, actually a bit like a strong woman with a strong personality...

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt his chest become heavy. It turned out that Akina's entire upper body was lying on his chest, and she was looking at him with burning eyes...

"Uh, what's wrong...?"

"Naoki-san, were you thinking about Momoe-san just now?" Akina Nakamori looked jealous~

"Is this the first time you've met your idol in your heart today?" Akina Nakamori didn't stop, her eyes bright, "How do you feel?"

"..." What feeling can I have?"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless,

"It's all things from a long time ago~"

"How could there be no feeling!" Akina Nakamori seemed not to believe it, climbed up a bit, and held her boyfriend's face with both hands, "Naoki-san used to be Momoe-san's die-hard fan, and even wanted to die because of Momoe-san!"

Uh... indeed, his predecessor was a real "die"-hard fan, the kind who really died once!

"No, not, don't talk nonsense!"

Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't admit it, shook his head and looked in other directions, insisting that it was just food poisoning.

"Really? Hahaha, Naoki-san, don't be shy... tell me, is Momoe-san very beautiful? Is your heart beating fast when you see her?"

Akina Nakamori held Naoki Nagayama's chin with both hands, wanting to turn his face over.

"I'm face-blind, I don't know if she's beautiful at all!!!"

Naoki Nagayama was righteous!

Akina Nakamori laughed angrily, pinching her boyfriend's face:

"Face-blind... what nonsense is Naoki-san talking about! Who are you lying to!"

"..." Didn't lie!" This must be stubborn!

Then Akina and Naoki Nagayama started playing around~

Whether Momoe Yamaguchi is beautiful, Naoki Nagayama doesn't know, but now because of Akina's large movements, the collar of her loose pajamas loosened, and a touch of white was dazzling...

Naoki Nagayama's hands subconsciously reached out to the beauty in his arms. The softness and thinness of the silk pajamas felt even smoother than the skin~

In a few breaths, the atmosphere in the bedroom became ambiguous...

"Akina~ although my eyes are not good~" Naoki Nagayama's hands didn't stop, "There is one thing that can be determined, Momoe Yamaguchi-san is definitely not as good-looking as Akina~"

Following the open neckline, he kissed the white and exquisite collarbone, and then a flush spread from the collarbone to the thin and straight neck, and then dyed onto the white porcelain-like cheeks~

"Naoki-san~~~"

Akina's eyes were full of water, she hugged her boyfriend, and her whole body softened as if she had no bones...

Not long after, sweet and greasy sounds rang out in the entire bedroom...

"Achoo!"

Momoe Yamaguchi, who had returned home and was packing her kimono, suddenly sneezed, feeling that she had been involved in some strange play.

"What's wrong?

"No, it's nothing..." Momoe Yamaguchi said, then looked at Tomokazu Miura, "How did you feel after meeting Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori today?"

"They are both very amiable people~ Naoki-san isn't as hard to approach as the rumors say..." Tomokazu Miura's impression of Naoki Nagayama had all come from newspapers; today was the first time he truly understood him.

"So, the media is full of messy news..." Momoe Yamaguchi nodded as well, "He should be quite a warm-hearted person..."

Tomokazu Miura smiled:

"Didn't reports say he was a fan of yours, Momoe? Today, it didn't seem like the excitement of meeting a fan... It was Akina-chan who wouldn't let go of your hand~"

"It must just be the media exaggerating~"

Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head; teenage worship is just a momentary impulse, and now they are all mature adults.

"By the way... about the new TV drama Naoki-san mentioned... do you have a chance?"

"The one called *Squid Game*?" Tomokazu Miura thought for a moment, "Perhaps. Naoki-san said it's under Director Itou's responsibility; maybe there will be an audition later~"

Naturally, there was no chance for the latest *One Cut of the Dead*; the production team is very small and they are all picking young people...

Adult socializing naturally has its purposes. Although they went to thank Naoki Nagayama for his help, since Tomokazu Miura is striving in the entertainment industry and has had contact with a well-known director, screenwriter, and producer like Naoki Nagayama, it is only natural to consider whether there are any opportunities for cooperation.

After all, Tomokazu Miura's career is currently at rock bottom; if someone could give him a hand, he might just be able to make a comeback!

"Since that's the case, then let's get to know him well..."

Momoe Yamaguchi didn't say much more; for a first meeting, having a good start is already very good.

Meanwhile, after the group of paparazzi returned to their residence, they began to check the photos taken today.

"No front view, no front view..." Paparazzo Ryuji Sakai checked the negatives with a magnifying glass; he naturally didn't have the financial resources to develop all the negatives, "It seems none of them captured a photo of Momoe Yamaguchi's son!"

"There's nothing to be done if the child was covered up..." His companion Tomohiro Ando was contacting a reporter, "But did you capture the one about setting the dog on someone?"

"Only the back view... It was really too fast~ I did capture a bit of the dog's appearance, it was a Labrador!"

The paparazzi had realized Naoki Nagayama's act of using Eitaro to save someone, and they were all furious...

Not accepting interviews is one thing, but actually setting a dog on people? You are disrespecting us paparazzi!

Doesn't this deserve a good smear campaign?

"I've already spoken to a reporter from a tabloid I'm familiar with about the relevant matters..." Tomohiro Ando said, "Combine the story of Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi with the dog-biting incident; we must teach them a good lesson!"

"Yes!"
