Chapter 82: Clearly looking like a playboy

"Yuko-san, Kanako-san, you said earlier that you two filmed a movie together?"

"Hai, the movie's name is 'Hokusai Manga'. It tells the colorful life of the Japanese ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai." Kanako Higuchi then thought of something.

"The movie will be released soon. Tomorrow is the preview. Would you like to go see it with us, Naoki-san?"

"Eh? If it's a preview, can I go see it too?" Naoki Nagayama was a little interested.

"Hai, actors can bring friends to watch, and some other lucky fans have been invited to the scene."

Watching a movie with the lead actors seemed quite interesting. Anyway, I had nothing to do recently...

"Then I'll trouble you, Kanako-san. I'm looking forward to the new movie~" I asked again, "What roles do Yuko-san and Kanako-san play?"

Yuko Tanaka replied from the side: "Kanako-san plays a mysterious beauty, and I play the daughter of Master Katsushika Hokusai."

She added a sentence at the end: "In the end, I married an 80-year-old ojisan..."

"Hahahahaha, that's really incredible."

Chatting with the right people, time passes quickly.

Before I knew it, it was midnight. Although we were chatting happily, it was clear that both of them were showing signs of fatigue.

"Yuko-san, Kanako-san, it's getting late. Go back and rest early. Lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty~"

Yuko Tanaka was older and paid more attention to this aspect: "Ah, it's already this time. I really need to rest. Naoki-san, you know a lot."

"Haha, it's a widely circulated truth. Even I have heard of it~"

"Eh, is that so?" Kanako Higuchi seemed a bit skeptical. After all, she was young, and even if she stayed up all night, she didn't feel anything.

At this time, the saying of "beauty sleep" didn't seem to have become a truth in the makeup industry. However, since Yuko Tanaka agreed:

"Haha, then we'll go up and rest first~"

"Naoki-san, see you tomorrow~"

"Hai, see you tomorrow morning~"

Watching the backs of the two beauties disappear, Naoki Nagayama settled the bill and returned to the room.

Tonight, it seemed that I had experienced too many emotions. Lying on the big bed, I fell into a deep sleep after a while.

In my dreams, it was still colorful, and it seemed there were two graceful figures.

The next day's sunshine was still bright.

Because I had an appointment to watch the preview in the morning, Naoki Nagayama set an alarm and couldn't sleep until he woke up naturally like other days.

However, after taking a cold shower, I was a dragon-spirited and tiger-fierce young man again.

The suit and trousers I bought yesterday came in handy. Overall, the movie preview of this era was still a relatively formal occasion.

After going downstairs, I found that Kanako Higuchi and Yuko Tanaka were already eating in the restaurant. Today, they were clearly wearing makeup, and their clothes were carefully matched.

"Naoki-san, you look very handsome in that~"

Seeing Naoki Nagayama in a suit, Kanako Higuchi's eyes lit up.

"I bought this temporarily. I'm not used to wearing formal clothes usually. Kanako-san and Yuko-san are also very stylish~"

"Haha, Naoki-san is a clothes hanger. It looks very suitable even if you just wear it casually." Yuko Tanaka thought of the scene at the pool yesterday and added in her heart, "Definitely the type who looks thin in clothes and has meat when undressed."

Naoki Nagayama ordered a regular bread breakfast and sat together to eat:

"By the way, where is the preview?"

"It's at Ginrei Hall in Iidabashi~"

"Eh~ where is that?" Naoki Nagayama really hadn't been to a movie theater of this era much.

"Naoki-san, do you not go to the movies?" Yuko Tanaka seemed not to believe it.

"I usually prefer watching TV at home... or renting movie tapes to watch."

"Are you actually a 'homebody'?"

At this time, otaku culture hadn't risen yet, so I could only use "homebody" to describe it.

"Shopping? Singing? Going out to play?"

"... Sumimasen, I participate in these activities less often."

I just like buying shops, opening discos, and supporting a girl group to play around.

"I can't tell. Are you actually so honest?" Yuko Tanaka sighed, "Clearly looking like a playboy."

???

Although the last sentence was much quieter, sitting so close, I could always hear it!

Naoki Nagayama could only pretend not to hear and ignore it:

"Then how are you two going there? Taxi? I might need to hitch a ride. I don't know the way..."

Kanako Higuchi looked a bit embarrassed: "Ah... this might be a bit of a problem. We have a car from the crew coming to pick us up~ I don't know if there's a seat."

"Daijoubu, I can drive and follow."

"Eh, Naoki-san has a car? Then I can sit in Naoki-san's car and show you the way~"

Yuko Tanaka looked at Kanako Higuchi's happy appearance and felt that this little girl was going to fall into Naoki Nagayama's trap.

It's a pity. If her film career just started to improve and she gets involved in a scandal, her future development won't be very big.

The resources in the entertainment industry are limited. Think of her, Yuko Tanaka, a graduate of the Department of Film and Drama at Meiji University, a root-red-and-seed-positive entertainment industry seed, lacking neither mentorship, connections, nor acting skills, and she waited 3 years to have a lead role.

If Kanako Higuchi misses this wave of opportunities, it will be even harder to stand out in the future.

However, Yuko Tanaka glanced at the handsome guy opposite. If the other party was someone like Naoki-san...

If it were me, I wouldn't be able to help it either!

Reality never goes according to plan.

Originally, everything was arranged well: Yuko Tanaka would take the car arranged by the crew, and Kanako Higuchi would take Naoki's car to lead the way and bring him into the preview.

But just as the few were chatting and waiting in the lobby, a person in black ran over to the few and greeted Kanako Higuchi and Yuko Tanaka: "Yuko-san, Kanako-san, the car arranged by the crew has arrived."

Then he said to Kanako Higuchi: "Sumimasen, Kanako-san, there is a temporary actor interview before the preview. The crew has arranged for you to be the interview subject, and some questions need to be communicated in advance."

"Eh? Communicating on the way?"

"Hai, a temporary arrangement. The host is already in the car coming."

"Is that so?" If so, I couldn't sit in Naoki-san's car and couldn't show the way.

Kanako Higuchi looked at Naoki Nagayama with some embarrassment.

"Daijoubu, Kanako-san, I will follow the car from behind." Naoki Nagayama couldn't force people to show the way at this time.

Kanako Higuchi hesitated: "The place is still a bit far, and I need staff to accompany me when entering the door."

Then her eyes turned, and she saw Yuko Tanaka on the side: "Yuko-chan, please take Naoki-san in~"

Putting her hands together: "Onegai~"

Yuko Tanaka didn't expect to be involved, but this wasn't a big deal:

"There's no need to request this level of thing. Naoki-san is also my friend."

Naoki Nagayama thanked from the side: "Arigato, then I'll trouble Yuko-san~" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
