Chapter 83

Watching Higuchi Kanako follow the man in black to the car at the entrance,

Nagayama Naoki and Tanaka Yuzuko also prepared to leave and get in their car.

"Yuzuko-san, let's go. My car is parked in a nearby parking lot."

"Hey~"

The hotel bill had already been settled, right after breakfast.

However, when Nagayama Naoki and the two beautiful women appeared in the lobby and checked out at the front desk,

it felt like the pretty front desk lady was looking at him with the eyes of a scorned man.

Was it an illusion?

Holding the bag with his freshly dry-cleaned clothes, Nagayama Naoki led the way, slightly ahead.

He chatted with Tanaka Yuzuko along the way,

"Yuzuko-san, is this your third work?"

"Not really, I've participated in many short films and TV dramas before, but none of them were famous."

"Hey, isn't Yuzuko-san the kind of star who became famous overnight?"

"How could that be! Naoki-san, I've been in the entertainment industry for several years and have only gained a little fame after much hardship. I'm lucky; many actors spend decades as supporting roles in films."

"Such hard work~" Nagayama Naoki felt a bit indifferent. Now, he was somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, and it didn't seem that hard to him.

Tanaka Yuzuko rolled her eyes: "Don't sound so casual about it!"

"Hehe, Yuzuko-san, you've really worked hard." Nagayama Naoki saw his beloved car and spoke in a tone that sounded like he was pacifying a child while unlocking it: "We're here, get in the car quickly."

Tanaka Yuzuko, seeing the black convertible, was surprised: "Naoki-san, are you a rich second generation?"

As a young actress, her pay was not high, and such a sports car would probably take her over a decade to afford.

"What are you talking about, just an ordinary family."

Nagayama Naoki opened the sunroof and put the bag in the back, noticing that Tanaka Yuzuko was still outside,

"Yuzuko-san, get in the car quickly."

"Hey~"

After Tanaka Yuzuko opened the door, she found a book on the passenger seat and picked it up before sitting down.

Nagayama Naoki had already started the car and was about to drive out of the parking lot.

"Naoki-san, this book..."

"Oh, just put it in the back, I didn't notice I put it on the passenger seat."

Tanaka Yuzuko looked at the brand new "Natsu no Niwa" (Summer Garden). A new book? Why didn't it have a book number or suggested retail price?

These preview books, of course, didn't have book numbers or prices. Those were added during mass printing and only visible at the final sale.

"Naoki-san, is this a new book?"

"Yes, it's a new book, but it won't be on sale until next week. This is a sample book."

"Sample book? Isn't that something only publishers have? How did Naoki-san... Kudamame! Is Naoki-san the author?!" Her voice rose an octave.

Nagayama Naoki, who was driving, almost hit the brakes in surprise: "Yuzuko-san, do you have to be so surprised? It's just a short novel."

Tanaka Yuzuko inwardly exclaimed: "Just a short novel? Can't you see the 'Children's Literature Series' printed on the cover?!"

But on the outside, she managed her expression and asked with a perfectly surprised tone: "Naoki-san, you're a writer too?"

"Not really a writer, I've only written this one book, and it was a moment of inspiration."

"Inspiration? Again, inspiration? Yesterday's music was inspiration! This book is inspiration! Nagayama Naoki, is your inspiration free?" Tanaka Yuzuko thought to herself, her face puffed up, and her words turned sour:

"Naoki-san's inspiration is really abundant~"

"Ha ha ha, Yuzuko-san, I guess I'm just more sensitive and easily influenced by external emotions." Nagayama Naoki replied, "Yuzuko-san, should we keep going straight from here?"

Tanaka Yuzuko looked at the road and confirmed: "Yes, just drive to Chiyoda-ku, and then we'll switch to a smaller road. I'll read this novel first~"

Then she enthusiastically started reading the novel.

Nagayama Naoki didn't say much after seeing this, turned on the car audio, and cheerful City Pop music filled the late summer morning with energy.

...

The road wasn't crowded, and Nagayama Naoki took about half an hour to drive to Chiyoda-ku.

Tanaka Yuzuko was clearly engrossed in the novel's plot, reluctantly giving directions and trying to squeeze in a few more pages.

But the car finally arrived.

Seeing Tanaka Yuzuko's reluctant expression, Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but laugh:

"Yuzuko-san, if you want to read it so much, I'll lend you the novel."

"Hudonini?"

"But this sample book is special to me, remember to return it when you're done~"

"Hey, I understand! I'll take good care of it." Tanaka Yuzuko promised solemnly and put the novel in her bag.

Seeing that the unassuming bag didn't bulge at all, Nagayama Naoki was curious about how much a woman's bag could hold...

After parking, Tanaka Yuzuko led Nagayama Naoki into a storefront on the street. If not for her, Nagayama Naoki wouldn't have noticed that there was a cinema hidden here.

Once inside, the space suddenly expanded, and Tanaka Yuzuko led him into a screening room.

Upon entering, they saw Higuchi Kanako answering the host's questions on the big screen. It was a rehearsal...

"Naoki-san, the first few rows are for staff and media, you can sit anywhere else. I have to go to the front~"

"Hey, thanks for bringing me here. I'll take it from here."

The screening room was empty, and Nagayama Naoki found a seat in the middle of the fifth row, waiting for the film to start.

Unexpectedly, more people kept coming in, and soon many people were sitting around him. However, in the socially distanced Japanese society, the closest person to Nagayama Naoki was at least two seats away.

At that moment, an old man wearing a fisherman's hat and sunglasses sat right next to him and said casually, "Young man, you picked a good spot. The fifth row has the best viewing experience."

Not knowing how to respond, he said, "I just picked a random spot, didn't think much about it."

The old man, who seemed a bit too familiar, was a bit surprised, looked at Nagayama Naoki, then pushed his sunglasses down, and looked at him seriously, a bit surprised: "Young man, you're very handsome! Are you an actor from some agency?"

Nagayama Naoki felt a bit uncomfortable, "No, I'm just here to watch the movie as a guest."

"Young man, you have great potential. Have you considered joining the entertainment industry?" The old man started recruiting him, just like when Hoshimura Daiki first met Nagayama Naoki...

However, the old man had a round, gentle face, a clean-shaven beard, and a bit of a gay vibe. Could he be interested in my looks?

Oh well...
