Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1572 and 1581: It's too dangerous to let Naoki-san's face out!

Sony's Yamato Kishimoto has been in very poor health lately.

It is well known that if the intestines are damaged and not properly cared for, they can easily develop into bleeding, ulcers, or even perforation. Kishimoto Yamato drank alcohol despite knowing that his stomach and intestines were damaged, which only made things worse!

I spent almost the entire Spring Festival in recuperation.

He finally felt a bit better after the New Year holiday, but he had lost a lot of weight. Even after returning to work, he still chose to recuperate at his home in Bunkyo. After all, with the Emperor's death, the entertainment industry could basically do nothing for a month.

And just today, while he was preparing the new plan at home, the doorbell rang.

Kishimoto Yamato opened the door and saw several police officers.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yamato Kishimoto?"

Hi, this is...

Kishimoto Yamato was completely confused.

"What happened? Is my car blocking the road?"

"No!"

One of the police officers produced a summons.

"We are officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigations Unit. My name is Hiroyuki Hirakawa."

"Mr. Kishimoto Yamato, you are suspected of an intimidation case. We request that you come to Sakuradamon to assist in the investigation."

"I?!"

Kishimoto Yamato pointed to himself in surprise.

"A case of intimidation?"

"Yes!"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa's expression remained calm.

"We have arrested the main suspect. Current evidence indicates that you, Mr. Kishimoto, are involved in the case, so please come in to assist with the investigation."

"How is this possible?!"

Kishimoto Yamato was so angry he almost laughed.

"I'm Sony's sales manager, why would I threaten anyone?"

At this point, Kishimoto Yamato suddenly realized that in Japan, extortion is all classified as intimidation. Last year, he learned that Miyazawa Mitsuko wanted to falsely accuse Nagayama Naoki and even gave her advice on how to amplify the public opinion.

His idea was clearly to put Naoki Nagayama in a public relations crisis so that his group could take the opportunity to poach artists from Nagayama's company and handle their transfers.

In this process, Mitsuko Miyazawa will naturally regain custody of Rie Miyazawa, and will then be able to control her daughter's salary and savings.

That stupid woman, she didn't extort money from me, did she?!

"As for this, Mr. Kishimoto can just go to Sakuradamon and explain it clearly!"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa had an upright expression on his face.

"The police will not wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a guilty person go free!"

"."

So I'm playing the bad guy, what should I do now?!

Kishimoto Yamato opened his mouth, then suddenly thought of something:

"You don't have an arrest warrant, do you? So I can refuse to go with you!"

".?"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa and his colleague exchanged a glance, almost wanting to laugh.

"Hey, we don't have an arrest warrant, Mr. Kishimoto, you can refuse to cooperate with the investigation."

"But this will only increase suspicion against you."

"It's only a matter of time before an arrest warrant is issued, but then we won't be so polite!"

"."

Kishimoto Yamato's expression shifted for a moment before he finally understood. If the police noticed him, he would definitely be unable to leave the country. If he was arrested, his freedom would be restricted!

"Okay. Please let me pack my things and explain my itinerary."

"Hi, please make yourself at home! We'll be waiting outside!"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa was quite at ease with someone of such standing. He wouldn't run away or anything, and judging from his pale face, he probably hadn't gone far.

Back in his room, Kishimoto Yamato calmly started looking for clothes, grabbing his wallet and other personal belongings. But halfway through, he suddenly flew into a rage, slamming his credit card to the ground and breathing heavily.

It wasn't until several minutes later that he managed to suppress his emotions and begin to think of a solution.

The first thing to do is call Sony's legal department and ask for advice on the best course of action in this situation.

Five minutes later, Kishimoto Yamato put on his trench coat and walked out of the house. He turned back, locked the door, and then said to Hirakawa Hiroyuki outside:

"Officer Hirakawa, thank you for waiting. We can go now!"

"Hi, thank you for your cooperation!!"

Meanwhile, the police also came to the door of Yokichi Osato, the president of Amuse agency.

He was also asked to go to Sakuradamon to assist in the investigation in front of everyone at the agency, causing quite a stir among the staff.

In addition, many other people were also summoned; they were all connected to Mitsuko Miyazawa's extortion. Even the yakuza lawyer, Yukinori Irie, was not spared and was brought to the police's door.

"Tch, I always said Miyazawa Mitsuko was stupid!"

Irie Yukinori muttered curses as he spoke.

"Thankfully, the agency agreement has ended! I just don't know how much time that will have wasted."

Masaharu Fukuyama and Rie Miyazawa, who were deeply involved, were naturally asked to assist in the investigation. However, since they were artists under the umbrella of Akiyuki, Masaharu Inada vouched for them, so they only had to give statements when Akiyuki asked them.

After the police left, Rie Miyazawa's eyes were a little red.

"Yamin-san, is my mother going to be locked up for a long time this time?"

She already knows her mother's demands: 100 million in compensation. She can't earn that much in ten years!

Maybe only after she becomes truly famous~

“This was a gang crime, and the amount of money involved was particularly large, so he will likely face more than five years of detention!”

Masami Inada didn't embellish anything; he told Rie Miyazawa the truth.

"Rie-chan, we've given your mother many chances."

"I know. I know."

Rie Miyazawa nodded softly. She knew it wasn't Itsuki and Naoki's fault, but it was still her mother, and she was sure she was feeling some sadness.

"Alright. Go home and get some rest."

Masamin Inada comforted him,

"Your mother is your mother, and you are you. Don't let other people's mistakes ruin your life!"

"Perhaps after learning from this experience, you can change your ways, and you'll have a long time to get along in the future~"

"Hi"

Rie Miyazawa left, somewhat lost in thought.

Watching her retreating figure, Masami Inada sighed, hoping the young girl could change her mind. If she harbored resentment towards Kiyo or Naoki-san, there would definitely be no chance for anything to develop between them in the future.

At this moment, Masaharu Fukuyama, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Yamin-san, is this the end of it? Let's leave it at that?"

"Ha, of course not."

Masami Inada shook his head. How could they let those gangs get away with it?

"Once the investigation is complete, we will also prosecute all those involved. We will also publicize their despicable behavior within the entertainment industry! Let those involved taste the bitterness of social death!"

At this point, he looked at Masaharu Fukuyama:

"However, for Fukuyama-kun, this matter ends here. There will be no further requests for Fukuyama-kun's help."

"By the way, you need to practice your new song diligently. Once the Emperor's mourning period is over, we'll be preparing for recording and promotions!!"

".Hi!!"

Treat your enemies like a cold wind, and treat your own people like a spring breeze!

The new song "Koi Fukaja ni Nosete (I'm Suffering from Love's Evil)" has been given to Masaharu Fukuyama as his new year's transformation song!

This upbeat and carefree song seems to be driven by a lovestruck mind. It's expected to be released during the transition from winter to spring, coinciding with the fluctuating temperatures and a peak season for colds, and is also closely related to Masaharu Fukuyama's romantic life.

This is a perfect match for his new song!

While Mitsuko Miyazawa was being dealt with swiftly and decisively outside, Naoki Nagayama remained at the Yamazakura-in residence with his family.

Little Lotus, who is growing bigger and bigger, has taken over Xia Hua's job and started bothering Nyan Taro in the cat house by scrambling for the cat's tail, climbing on the orange cat, and sometimes even trying to take a bite to taste it.

This annoyed the orange cat, which doesn't like to move much in winter. It raised its paw several times to pat the little guy's head, but didn't dare to use force. In the end, it could only give the little guy a hard shake, sending him flying onto the thick carpet, and then he jumped onto the cat tree.

Looking down at the little guy, he shouted at Naoki Nagayama:

"Meow meow meow!! Meow meow!! (Two-legged creature, what do you think of your son?!)"

"Nyataro, you really need to move around more!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled as he watched the orange tree complaining.

"Is it still possible to climb trees?"

Meow~~~ (Don't change the subject!)

"Haha, are you still angry? We've already been through this once. Ren-chan is still just a kid."

"!!"

Nyantaro's eyes widened, seemingly surprised that Naoki Nagayama would use the "he's still a child" tactic!

That's absolutely shameless!

Finally, having no other choice, Nyantaro jumped to the top of the display case and refused to come down.

"tsk"

Naoki Nagayama helped little Ren, who was lying down, to her feet.

"Ren-chan, what if you scare Nyan-taro away?"

Little Lotus paused for a moment, then looked at her father and grinned. After Little Summer Flower, Little Lotus's potential as a demon has begun to show!

As for what the previous demon orb was doing at this time?

Laughter and barking came from the distant corridor. A white dog, tail between its legs, scurried out of the small door into the yard.

A moment later, a small figure was seen trying to follow. Akina quickly stopped her.

"Hua Jiang, you can't go to the yard, it's too cold there! And it's raining."

"Then why did Eitaro go out?"

"Eitaro has grown hair on his body. It's like he's wearing thick clothes!"

"Then why don't I have any hair?"

"."

Akina looked at her bewildered daughter and stroked her hair.

"Hana-chan's hair is just like Eitaro's body hair!"

Hua Jiang touched her hair, seemingly understanding but not quite, and then spoke directly:

"So, does that mean I can go out now?"

"cannot!"

Finally, Xia Hua, who had been suppressed by her mother, also came to the living room.

Akina sat on the sofa, looking at the two younger children with a hint of helplessness:

"Luckily, I have two furry kids at home, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to go around!"

"Akina, Eitaro, and Nyantaro probably wouldn't think that way."

Seeing Eitaro's cautious demeanor in the yard, Naoki Nagayama asked,

"What did Hana-chan do to Eitaro again?"

She plucked the hairs from Eitaro's tail.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder~"

Turning his head and seeing his eldest daughter already searching for the orange cat, Naoki Nagayama could only imagine that once the two little ones grew up, this house would probably be in complete chaos every day.

Just then, the phone next to the coffee table suddenly rang.

Before Naoki Nagayama could react, Natsuka had already come running over:

"Dad, the phone! The phone!!"

"Hi hi hi autumn bean sack"

Naoki Nagayama handed Little Ren to Akina, then hugged Natsuka tightly, pressed his ear to the receiver, and began to answer the phone.

"Moshi moshi. This is Yama-oka-in!"

"Naoki-san!!"

The familiar, enthusiastic voice that came through the receiver was that of Kuniharu Morikawa, the head of Shogakukan.

“Sashibuli”.

"Didn't I call to send my greetings during the New Year? There's no need to ignore me."

"Haha, this is different~"

Morikawa Kunji smiled and said,

"Sashibuli sounds more artistic!"

"."

Do all artists have some quirks?

However, after just a few words, the atmosphere quickly warmed up.

"Naoki-san!"

Kuniharu Morikawa said with a smile,

"Having experienced such a significant historical juncture—the end of the Showa era—did you, as a writer, have any particular feelings?!"

"Is your creative inspiration flowing out like a tap turned on full blast?!"

"No, I don't care about the Emperor at all!"

Naoki Nagayama gently nudged Natsuka's leg to keep her from moving and interfering with the call, then simply pressed the speakerphone button.

"So there's no inspiration at all!"

"Hey~~ Naoki-san, don't be so dismissive of me!"

Kuniharu Morikawa said shamelessly,

"This year's new book absolutely needs to give me some direction!"

Naoki Nagayama, a renowned author, has maintained a new novel every year for many years, a habit that has almost become an ironclad rule among readers.

"Didn't I just release 'Sorry, I Love You' in the second half of last year?"

"That happened last year!"

Kuniharu Morikawa said,

"Besides, that novel was written a long time ago!!"

"Did Naoki-san not create anything for so long after that?"

"no!"

"."

There was a few seconds of silence on the microphone, then Kuniharu Morikawa's pleading voice came through:

"Naoki-san, no!!!"

"Please, please start a new book!!"

"The readers are waiting! I'm waiting too!"

"Do you remember Reiki-chan? She's waiting too!!"

Akina's ears twitched; she'd noticed the key phrase! Her eyes sharpened instantly. Reiki-chan? Who's that?!

In Naoki Nagayama's mind, the image of the bespectacled receptionist who secretly read BL novels subconsciously surfaced!

"Lingxi-chan likes reading my novels?!"

They're inspecting the glass!

"Yes!"

Kuniharu Morikawa immediately confirmed,

"I've said it several times: 'Why hasn't Naoki-san's new book come out yet?' 'What will the next one be?'"

"."

Naoki Nagayama always felt that Kuniharu Morikawa was lying to him.

"Bangzhi-san, you're not lying to me, are you?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Kuniharu Morikawa immediately shook his head.

"Naoki-san, you can come to Shogakukan in person! We can have a drink together!!"

"Let's forget about it."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head.

"After all, it's a time of national mourning."

"Didn't Naoki-san say he didn't care about the Emperor?"

"This is a polite refusal. Bangzhi's ability to read the room has declined!"

"."

For some reason, Naoki Nagayama felt very relaxed when talking to Kuniharu Morikawa.

On the one hand, it might be because the editors at the literary publishing house read a lot of books and are exposed to more avant-garde ideas; on the other hand, it's also because they are old friends.

After exchanging a few more words, and unable to resist Kuniharu Morikawa's repeated pleas, Naoki Nagayama finally agreed:

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely finish one in the first half of the year!"

"Naoki-san, it's a deal!"

"Hmm~"

After finally hanging up the phone and putting down Xia Hua, a faint voice came from beside me:

"Naoki-san, who is that Reiki-chan?"

"Forehead"

Naoki Nagayama felt a headache coming on, and he had to explain again, focusing on the other person's hobbies.

"In short, Reiki-chan is a fujoshi!"

Akina looked her husband up and down, his handsome face, and said:

"Naoki-san is in danger too!"

"?!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Naoki Nagayama realized what was happening.

"What do you mean I'm in danger?! I'm not giving anything away!!"

"It's too dangerous to let Naoki-san's face out!"

"."

Seeing Akina turn her head away, Naoki Nagayama could only feel helpless.
