Chapter 955: Akina-chan has gained weight? Could she be pregnant!!

Although the efficiency of magazines in the print media era cannot compare to the Internet, they are still very fast for news with popularity.

Early in the morning, Naoki Nagayama saw reports about his grandfather in several weekly magazines...

"'Memoirs of a Yamaguchi-gumi Boss', 'Things About Yakuza in the 20th Year of Showa'..."

Naoki Nagayama flipped through the magazines, found the report on Hayato Nagayama, and the publicity for "Hayato's Legend", and almost sprayed the milk in his mouth,

"How did you really use this kind of headline..."

He just slipped his tongue during the meeting and said some future memes casually. How did the publicity caliber become like this?!

Could it be that the people in the distribution department really took his words as golden rules?

"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"

Akina leaned her face over to look at the magazine in Naoki Nagayama's hand. Her soft hair carried a fresh fragrance of oranges, and her baby-fat cheeks were white and red, making people have an urge to take a bite~

They didn't sleep together yesterday, and now Naoki Nagayama only felt that Akina was becoming more and more attractive... Anyway, she was already a legal wife, so Naoki Nagayama didn't be polite and kissed her mua~

"Hmm?"

Akina shrank in surprise, then pretended to be very annoyed, but the happy expression on her face couldn't be hidden!

"Naoki-san, what are you doing?!"

"Just kissed~"

"Is this something you can kiss casually?"

"Of course... Akina, you are now a person of my Nagayama family, I can kiss whenever I want!"

"Thick-skinned!"

"..."

Occasional bickering in the morning is a small trick to promote the relationship between husband and wife! After a set of small tricks, Akina looked at the magazine again:

"Is this publicity for 'Hayato's Legend'?"

"Hmm, when I went back the day before yesterday, I brought reporters for an interview, and it has already been published in the magazine today." Naoki Nagayama explained to Akina the surprising headline just now. These headlines look different from the current media style.

"Haha~" Akina laughed after seeing the headline, and then took a magazine after seeing the long interview report afterward, "I want to take one and read it during work~"

"? What is the work today?"

"Mainly the first rehearsal of the Kohaku Uta Gassen." Akina ate her breakfast quickly, "But in the morning, it's the year-end special cover of 'Star' magazine..."

"So that's it..."

"Next year is the Year of the Tiger, so I want to take some photos to celebrate the New Year~" Nagayama Akina ate until her cheeks were bulging, and then suddenly thought of something and touched her stomach, "By the way, if you say so, the baby is still a tiger cub..."

"..."

Tiger cub is a local dialect, it is said that children born in the Year of the Tiger have a lot of wildness and a strong personality... More importantly, he, Naoki Nagayama, is also a tiger!

"It's not bad to be a tiger~"

"Hmm, it's better than being a snake~" Akina laughed. The matter of being called a snake girl when she was young could not be considered beautiful.

After chatting about idle gossip and finishing breakfast...

Then, like a normal urban couple, they kissed at the entrance and went to work separately~

Naoki Nagayama was still a little emotional when driving. Why is he so rich and still busy with work?

As time passed, the Japanese had entered the best season for autumn leaf hunting. From Hokkaido to Shikoku, a whole route attracted countless tourists to appreciate it, and many media and newspapers also launched special topics on autumn leaf hunting...

And under such a trend, the heat of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori's marriage was cooling down a little bit, but there was still a lot of heat in the fan club.

Today, the fan club received news that Akina Nakamori was going to take year-end cover photos with a group of stars in Rikugien, so many people organized and went to the local area to support.

Akina Nakamori, who had changed into a simple kimono for traveling, was taking photos with her companions in Rikugien. Near her were Yoshie Kashiwabara, Yu Hayami, and others, as well as male artists who had also changed into kimonos.

After all, "Star" can be considered a must-read magazine for well-known artists at present, and its appeal in the circle is still very high~

"Akina-chan~" During the break of taking photos, Toshihiko Tahara walked to Akina Nakamori's side, "Are you going to the rehearsal in the afternoon too?"

"Of course I'm going~" Akina nodded, "Go and see if the clothes are suitable..."

As for singing and performing, naturally there is no problem.

"Then let's go together? We have several people who are going too." Toshihiko Tahara said, "Let's have dinner together at noon?"

"Good..." Akina, who was straightforward, was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something, "But my appetite has been bad recently... what I eat might be different from everyone else..."

"Daijobu, it's a buffet anyway~"

Although he is already a top male idol, as an artist of Johnny's, Toshihiko Tahara is actually not very rich... Johnny's idols implement a monthly salary system and pay according to seniority, and he has only been there for five years...

In fact, other idols are much the same, they are all products of the agency, and there is not much money, so they choose affordable places to eat together... completely different from Akina Nakamori, a rich woman who changed her contract.

Hearing this, Akina agreed, and then chatted with other female idols.

Yu Hayami and Akina have a good relationship. Hearing that Akina's appetite has been bad recently, she cared about her:

"Akina, did you eat something bad? I always see you covering your stomach today... or... is that coming?"

"Ah... not really..."

Pregnant people will subconsciously protect their stomachs. Akina didn't feel any difference before, but she was slightly panicked when she was suddenly mentioned by a friend,

"It's just that my appetite has been bad recently..."

Pregnancy, except for a

"Poor appetite..."

Yu Hayami observed Akina's cheeks... this kind of rosy, glowing complexion had absolutely nothing to do with having a poor appetite or being sick, okay!

Moreover, why did it feel like the baby fat on her face had increased? She then took the opportunity to look at Akina's figure, and it felt like her waist had also become a bit fuller...

"Could it be..." Yu Hayami's expression changed as she looked at Akina, "Akina, you..."

Having just been made uncomfortable by Yu Hayami's scrutiny, Akina Nakamori became instantly nervous now that she saw her good friend looking as if she had seen through everything...

"What... what is it?"

"Akina... you're on a diet, aren't you!!!" Yu Hayami leaned close to Akina's ear with full confidence, and then revealed a smile, "Is it because work has been light lately, so you've gained weight?!"

"..." Akina was stunned, then revealed a smile, "Ah, you found out~"

"Haha, Akina-chan, actually there's nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to dieting!"

"... Hmm~"

"I have some little tips! Not eating is no good... you'll get a rebound!"

Yu Hayami then started telling Akina about little tips for girls to lose weight, making Akina feel extremely awkward as she listened...

Just at this moment, many fans holding support flags appeared on the outskirts of the Rikugien Garden. Some were Yu Hayami's, some were Masahiko Kondo's, and others were Yoshie Kashiwabara's and other idols'... Of course, most were Akina Nakamori's~

An event that gathered so many popular artists certainly couldn't be kept secret, and artists generally took a positive attitude toward this kind of support... After all, fans were their bread and butter!

Seeing the many supporting fans, the various idols didn't panic, and their respective managers had already started working together to maintain order.

"Sumimasen, the artists are working, please do not disturb..." "Please do not cause trouble for the idols..." "If there is an opportunity later, we will meet with everyone..."

Together with the program staff, they separated the supporting fans from the idols and artists who were currently filming.

"Matchy... look over here!" enthusiastic fans were still waving their support flags, "Matchy, ganbare!"

"Yu-chan!!! Over here, over here!"

"Shibugakitai, go for it!"

"..."

Among them, of course, were Akina Nakamori's die-hard fans. Taking advantage of a break in filming, they shouted loudly: "Akina is the most beautiful, Akina is the best!"

Akina, who was filming, naturally heard them and waved at the fans, immediately setting off another round of howling.

As a member of the fan club, Yoshiaki Kosaka naturally wouldn't miss this event. After leading the veteran fans of the fan club to come and support, he specifically brought the latest Sony camera.

Although it was a bit far, the captured footage was still very clear!

"The opportunities to photograph Akina-chan are becoming fewer and fewer!"

Yoshiaki Kosaka grumbled in his heart. After Naoki Nagayama and his own idol announced their marriage, Akina's public activities became fewer and fewer. Thinking that they would definitely retire for a period of time after getting married, he only felt that he would have to rely on the photos taken now to get through those times!

Under the high-definition lens, Akina, wearing a small-pattern kimono, had exquisite features and fair, smooth skin; her whole person radiated the beauty of youth... At twenty years old, she was in the most beautiful time of her life!

"As expected of Akina-chan! She's really too cute!"

Yoshiaki Kosaka only felt that every frown and smile under the lens was full of charm.

However, after taking a few shots, he was suddenly a bit surprised: "Why does Akina-chan look a bit like she did when she first debuted?"

Akina during her "chubby" period was round and full of innocence and cuteness, but for the past two years, his idol had been developing in the direction of a goddess, right? Why was she starting to regress?

Yoshiaki Kosaka nudged his companion Ichiro Kanazawa next to him with his elbow: "Kanazawa... do you feel like Akina-chan has changed a bit?"

"?" Ichiro Kanazawa heard this and began to observe carefully, "It seems there is..."

"It seems she's gained weight! It looks like Akina-chan hasn't been paying attention to her diet lately!" Yoshiaki Kosaka said, "Being a little chubby is also quite good..."

"Wait..." Ichiro Kanazawa suddenly said, "It doesn't seem like she's gained weight... the luster on her face, the changes in her figure, and now she seems to be feeling nauseous..."

Akina, who was currently filming, suddenly covered her mouth and turned her head, as if she had smelled something repulsive... The people around all thought she had seen some poop or other dirty thing on the lawn...

"This feeling..." Ichiro Kanazawa rubbed his chin, "It's so similar!"

"What's similar?" Yoshiaki Kosaka asked, looking at him.

"It looks like morning sickness!"

Ichiro Kanazawa said the professional medical term, leaving Yoshiaki Kosaka unable to react for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm saying... Akina-chan seems to be pregnant!"

"???!!!" Yoshiaki Kosaka said in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ichiro Kanazawa explained seriously:

"I'm a medical student, I've seen many pregnancy cases in the hospital. Pregnant women are different from ordinary people. Although it's slight, I can distinguish it... Look, besides the morning sickness, Akina's abdomen clearly has a curve!"

"!!!"

Yoshiaki Kosaka couldn't accept it,

"Impossible!"

"What's impossible about it!" The more Ichiro Kanazawa spoke, the more he felt he had discovered the truth, "Think about it, why was Akina-chan's wedding so rushed?! They only announced their engagement in August!"

"This..."

"Guessing based on this timeline, and based on the changes in Akina now, I can roughly infer that Akina-chan's pregnancy should be between two and three months!" Ichiro Kanazawa's tone was firm, "So there is only one truth! The two of them definitely had a shotgun wedding!!!"

At this moment, Yoshiaki Kosaka hadn't heard a word of anything else; at this moment, there was only one thought expanding in his mind:

"My Akina-chan is pregnant, and the father isn't me..."

After the cover photo shoot was completed, Akina Nakamori and the other idols came to the side of the supporting fans to express their gratitude.

"Arigato~" "Thank you all for your support, we will work even harder!"

"Thank you all for your support..."

"Take a photo? Sure, let's take one together!"

"Autograph? No problem!"

"..."

All the idols wore professional smiles, interacting with the fans very enthusiastically.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, anyone who could reach the current status in the idol industry understood that they couldn't let their persona collapse in front of fans.

Otherwise, with the competitive pressure in the industry being so high, if others turned their heads to fan new idols, they would become has-been artists!

On Akina Nakamori's side, the style was slightly different:

"Minna-san, you can stroll around Rikugien Garden later, since you're all out anyway... The autumn leaves here are very beautiful!"

"I have to go to the Kohaku Uta Gassen rehearsal in the afternoon, so everyone shouldn't follow. The security at the NHK hall is very strict, you won't be able to get in..."

"Nani? You want to attend my wedding?"

Akina Nakamori was stunned for a moment, and seeing the pleading look of the fans in front of her, her heart stirred... The fans who could come here were all die-hard fans who supported her...

"Hmm... I have to discuss it with Naoki-san..." Akina said, "The place where the wedding is being held is a small temple, it can't accommodate that many people..."

However, perhaps she could find the most intimate fans in the fan club and arrange a table at the thank-you banquet in Tokyo!

Such a thought surfaced in Akina Nakamori's mind, and she felt it was quite good! After all, it was a thank-you banquet, and she should properly thank the fans who had always supported her!

Disregarding the disappointment of the other fans for the moment, Yoshiaki Kosaka had just sobered up, and it happened to be his turn to take a photo with his idol...

"Ah, you brought a camera, that's perfect!"

Akina Nakamori stood next to Yoshiaki Kosaka and asked someone to help take a picture.

Just as the shutter was pressed, Yoshiaki Kosaka couldn't help but speak up:

"Akina-chan's stomach... compared to before... is it because you're already pregnant with a baby?! Is that why you're in such a rush to get married?"

"!!!"

The fans nearby went quiet for a moment, and Akina Nakamori didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, Norifumi Akisada, who had been by her side, walked over:

"Sumimasen... regarding Akina's personal life, we are not accepting interviews today..."

As he spoke, he separated Akina from the fans:

"If everyone has any questions, you can call the Ken-On agency, and Ken-On will provide a response..."

"Alright, Akina has other schedules later..."

Under the escort of Norifumi Akisada and other staff, Akina Nakamori walked toward the car parked outside.

After getting into the car, Akina Nakamori stroked her stomach and sighed. It really was becoming harder and harder to hide!

Three months already...

It could already be seen from her abdomen; the baby inside should already be as big as a tennis ball!

Fortunately, the performance costumes afterward were all loose, puffy skirts that could hide her figure; otherwise, she would have to consider how to hide it in the spotlight at the Kohaku Uta Gassen!

"Akina-chan, should the agency release some guiding information?

Something like her weight has increased recently, she's been eating too much... or the dance teacher asked her to lose weight?"

Maki Ueda, who was also sitting in the car, suggested,

"With these fragmented pieces of information, everyone won't think in the direction of pregnancy!"

When is a drop of water best hidden? In the ocean! If there is a large amount of miscellaneous, misleading information, then everyone won't believe the news of the pregnancy is true!

This method was actually invented by Naoki Nagayama before!

He used this tactic when the old film production studio was spreading rumors about Tree Friends, making the rumors in the media more and more exaggerated until finally, no one believed them, rendering the efforts of the old film studios that wanted to suppress them useless.

And now, this trick had been learned by the sharp people in the entertainment industry, and they had gone even further—hiding deep scandals, suppressing competitors, and even flipping the table... So, those who can survive in the entertainment industry, which one of them isn't a sharp person!

Norifumi Akisada, who was driving, also spoke up: "Akina-chan, if you want, I can contact Huajian-san immediately... The fans' questions just now will definitely be remembered by people with ulterior motives! They will act very quickly!"

"..."

After thinking for a while, Akina Nakamori shook her head,

"Forget it, let's just maintain an attitude of neither confirming nor denying... If the baby is discovered, let nature take its course! He is a gift from heaven!"

Akina was originally both surprised and happy about the baby's arrival, and as the baby grew, she became more and more delighted; she never wanted to deny it.

And even if it were discovered, so what?

Just as Naoki-san said, they had already registered their marriage, they were a legal couple, and having a child was reasonable and appropriate!

At this moment, Akina, stroking her stomach, had an indescribable gentleness on her face; she was becoming more and more like a mother~
