After entering mid-July, the morning sunshine is also a bit harsh.
Nagayama Naoki got up early, practiced for a while, and prepared breakfast for Yutaro, Nyaotaro and himself. After eating, he went to pick up his little girlfriend.
Ah no~ First of all, I have to stop by and pick up the fan mail.
The Toyota Century that drove out this time, a convertible suitable for summer driving, was left on the set of Nagano~
But it doesn't matter, the air conditioning of the luxury car is very powerful, and sitting in the car is no different from being in Sanzakuin.
...
Shogakukan is very close to Yamasakura-in. It takes less than five minutes to drive there.
"Teacher Naoki! Why are you here so early today?" Today's receptionist is Mitsuko Nishihara. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, his eyes widened with surprise.
"Ah, I'm here to pick up fan mail~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I made an appointment with Kuniji-san yesterday."
"Hey, I'll take you there right now!" Mitsuko Nishihara had no doubts at all and took Naoki Nagayama directly upstairs.
"Teacher Naoki, I really like your "Love in the Sky"!"
"Hahaha, thank you for Mitsuko-chan's support!" Nagayama Naoki thanked the fan, "But Mitsuko-chan doesn't have any questions about the plot? I heard that many of the fans' letters were very angry.
"
"Well...some of the plots are indeed a pity...but the unyielding love between Mika and Hiroki is the most touching."
Sure enough, the focus between male and female fans is different. Those who send blades are all male fans~
"By the way, Teacher Naoki!" When he arrived at the door of the office, Mitsuko Nishihara turned around, his eyes shining with curiosity, "Is the story "Love in the Sky" based on the experience of Teacher Naoki? So?
Are all the protagonists named Hiroki?"
"...No..." This fan's thinking is a bit divergent~
"Eh?....."
Mitsuko Nishihara was left feeling a little relieved and a little disappointed. Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door and walked into Kuniji Morikawa's office. He actually had a separate office... He was promoted~
"Bunji-san!"
"Naoki-san, you're here!" Kuniji Morikawa was looking at some manuscript. When he saw Naoki Nagayama, he quickly put it down, "I thought it would be a little later."
"I have something to do later, so I came right over." Nagayama Naoki looked at the two large boxes in the corner, "Are these the two?"
"Hey, one of them is full of letters, and the other one is the package that was sent." Kuniji Morikawa paused and said with a smile, "There are also the blades that were sent, and they are all placed in the other one."
"Eh? A lot?"
"You can open an art shop~" Kuniji Morikawa said, "No author has ever received so many! Naoki-san, you have set a record."
"Hahaha~"
While chatting with Naoki Nagayama, Kuniji Morikawa helped carry two boxes of things into the car. Although they were all paper, they were still heavy.
"Naoki-san, the selection for the Naoki Award should be completed within these two days, and will be announced around the end of the month." Kuniji Morikawa said to Naoki Nagayama, "Don't forget to attend the award ceremony then."
"Kuniji-san said it as if I will definitely win the prize..." Naoki Nagayama smiled.
"Of course!" Kuniji Morikawa said seriously, "In the second half of last year, there were no good works published, not even winners. In the first half of this year, there were no good works either...
The only competitor should be "The Prisoner of Black Bread", but it prefers documentary and is not as good as Naoki-san's "Koisora" in terms of popular literature..."
Listening to the editor's unclear analysis, Naoki Nagayama could only nod silently. There were too many twists and turns in the literary world.
"If I am lucky enough to win the award, I will definitely come!"
"Then we'll see you then!" Morikawa Kuniji was full of confidence.
.......
After picking up the fans' letters, Naoki Nagayama drove to Nakano District.
Speaking of which, when I used to pick up dishes, I always took them in the evening or at night. It seems that I have never been here during the day!
Parking downstairs at Akina Nakamori's apartment, Naoki Nagayama made a call directly from the car phone to inform Akina of his arrival.
After a while, a figure wearing a white hat appeared at the door. He wore a lace-decorated sleeveless top and a red plaid skirt. He was lively and youthful~
"Naoki-san" Akina quickly opened the car door, took off her hat after sitting in the passenger seat, "You didn't drive the convertible today?"
"After drinking yesterday, I stopped at the set and didn't drive back~" Naoki Nagayama started the car and headed towards Bunkyo District.
The girl next to him suddenly changed from a good friend to a girlfriend. Nagayama Naoki was a little uncomfortable with it, but after looking at it for a few times, he still said: "Akina's outfit today is also very good~very cute~"
The girl's face turned rosy immediately. Such bold compliments are rare in Japan. She turned her face away shyly and said:
"Naoki-san~"
Naturally, Naoki Nagayama did not continue teasing the shy girl, and began to ask seriously:
"Does Akina have the whole day off today?"
"No, I still have activities to attend in the afternoon..." As his fame grows, there are more and more notices coming to Akina, and now days off are a luxury.
"It's really hard work~"
"Where's Naoki-san? Are you free all day?"
Akina turned around and looked at Nagayama Naoki's side face. The branches and leaves of the street trees blocked the sunlight outside the car window from time to time, giving people tattoos that flickered on and off. However, Naoki-san's handsome appearance remained the same no matter what the light was.
Here!
"Yes~" Nagayama Naoki also turned around, his eyes met Akina's eyes, "As long as Akina wishes~"
A trace of red cloud once again climbed onto the girl's fair face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Akina could only feel the pounding of her heartbeat, this Naoki-san... Why does it make people blush every time they speak now...
.
Sure enough, the reputation of playboy Naoki is not for nothing!
...
The journey to Bunkyo District only took less than half an hour.
After arriving at the apartment and parking the car, Naoki Nagayama opened the trunk and prepared to move the two boxes of letters in.
Akina was still thinking of helping, so Nagayama Naoki quickly said: "Akina holds the key and leads the way. Open the door~ This box is a bit heavy~"
Nagayama Naoki, who works out every day, has not developed the exaggerated muscles of a bodybuilder, but he already has the lines on his body, which is not a problem for him.
Akina opened the door with brisk steps, and Naoki Nagayama followed her in.
Wen Jing didn't come to this apartment very often. The first thing he did when he came in was to open the windows to ventilate the room and blow out the smell of paper.
"When did Naoki-san buy this apartment?"
Akina Nakamori looked at the empty room. There was nothing else except a piano, sofa, table and chairs. Moreover, several boxes of storage cabinets had been piled up against the wall.
"Maybe the year before last~" Nagayama Naoki put down the fan letter, and then started to fetch water and clean it up a little, "When the construction of Yamazakura-in was not completed. At that time, it was used as a piano room."
Akina also hurried over to help. There weren't many things, so the two of them tidied up the room quickly.
"Piano room?"
"Hey, I was learning to compose music at that time. Waseda's house was in a residential area, so practicing would disturb other people." After cleaning up the house, Naoki Nagayama turned on the air conditioner and took out two bottles of iced drinks from the refrigerator.
"After the Yamazakura-in is built, this place will be used as a place to store letters from fans. I will come here about once a week."
Akina Nakamori took the drink and took a sip. The cool taste immediately washed away the heat from the cleaning.
"It feels like Naoki-san has many apartments..." Akina walked around the room, remembering the earliest one, "So how is the apartment in Waseda now?"
"There, Tsuruko lives there~" Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa and began to open the fan letters, "This is a university dormitory."
"I see~" Akina knew that Tsuruko went to college.
Having said this, Naoki Nagayama advised again: "Akina, if you have saved money, you can also buy a house in Tokyo first! If you don't have enough money, it doesn't matter if you get a loan~ In recent years, it has been a great opportunity for real estate appreciation...
..."
Here it comes again! Naoki-san’s advice to people to buy a house~
Akina Nakamori smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. It seemed that not long after they met, Naoki-san had been persuading people around her to buy a house.
But after listening to it a lot, Naoki-san’s suggestion doesn’t seem to be unreasonable…
One year after her debut, as Akina Nakamori became more and more famous, she began to earn more money.
Yanyin is not a very demanding firm. One year after signing the contract, Mingcai Records’ share of the money, advertising fees, and advertising endorsement fees all began to be obtained.
Putting aside the money to subsidize the family, I now have nearly one million in savings.
"Would you like to buy a house? It seems very good~" Akina thought in her little mind that it would be better if she bought a house next to Yamasakura-in~
........
The two of them were sitting on the sofa and reading the letter.
The letters from fans were strange, some praised Naoki Nagayama for his good writing, some criticized the plot of "Koisora" for being inaccurate, and some came to discuss the future machines that appeared in the book.
"Hahaha, Naoki-san, this fan said that Hiroki's hairstyle is too weird and it's impossible to attract girls, hahaha~" Akina said happily holding a letter.
"Hey... that's the trend, right? Visual style is what attracts attention!"
You know, the famous Shamate is still popular until the 21st century!
After Nagayama Naoki picked some and looked at them, he did not dismantle them all. He will talk about them later.
He is now a little curious about the souvenirs and gifts sent by fans: "Angina, let's take a look at these gifts!"
"Hi~" The little girl was naturally very interested in opening the blind box.
First, it was a small package wrapped in plastic. It was very light... Naoki Nagayama used the sent razor blade to open the package. Inside was a light blue scarf~
Akina read the card: "To the garden tree, this scarf represents the beautiful sky in memory. I hope it can always be with you!"
"Hey, the knitting is pretty good~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the knitted scarf, "It's a pity that it's summer~"
"A girl actually gave Naoki-san a scarf..."
Akina was a little jealous. Girls usually give scarves that they knit themselves to their relatives or lovers.
Nagayama Naoki put down his scarf: "Go on, let's take a look at the next one~"
Among the gifts in the whole box, there are paper cranes, dolls, candies, specialties and other relatively normal items, but there are also weird things like a handful of grass, a stone, and a bottle cap.
Every time something strange like this comes out, Akina will definitely be happy to take a closer look.
"Omo series, Naoki-san's gift is a surprise~"
"So they are all weird fans..."
The operation of opening the blind box lasted for more than an hour, and finally only a cardboard box that was a little larger than the palm of my hand was left in the entire gift box.
"Okay, the last one, let's see what it is!"
"Yeah!" Akina stood next to Naoki Nagayama, staring intently at the last blind box.
After taking it apart, it was discovered that it was an electronic device. An antenna protruded from the black main body. The main body had a small screen, and a light on the top flashed green from time to time.
"What is this?" Akina looked at the electronic device she had never seen before, "Is it some new alarm clock or something else?"
Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing looked like a mobile phone from the future.
Akina took out a card from the bottom, and it actually said: "Tingshu! Just wait for me to deliver the blade in person!"
Eh?!!
Is this thing actually a locator?!
Nagayama Naoki suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Japan is a country with many perverts! If this is not a joke, maybe it is a pervert who is unhappy with reading and wants to find his address through this method.
Akina also reacted and quickly put down the locator: "Naoki-san, this thing..."
"Ah! It should be something like a locator." Naoki Nagayama quickly removed the battery from the back of the main body and watched as his green light went out. "It should be some extreme fan..."
"Huh? Is there such a person?" After Akina understood, she eagerly pulled Nagayama Naoki's arm, her tone trembling a little, "Naoki-san, what should we do? Should we call the police?"
"Silly tape, I've already removed the battery~" Naoki Nagayama put his arm around Akina's shoulders, patted her gently and comforted her, "This is not the place where I live either~ It's okay~"
"But....."
"The police can't do anything about this kind of thing."
The address sent to you is most likely false, and even if you are caught, there won't be too severe a punishment or anything like that, after all, it hasn't been implemented yet.
"We didn't pay attention this time and took the gift back..." Naoki Nagayama reflected, "Next time, we must confirm it before opening it..."
Nakamori Akina's head rested on Nagayama Naoki's shoulder: "It's really scary~"
"Akina, as your fame grows, you may encounter similar things~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Although there are agents and offices in front of you, Akina must learn to protect herself~"
"Yeah!" Akina nodded silently, secretly making up her mind to never take anything home that she didn't know about.
Nagayama Naoki looked at the locator on the table and thought slowly in his mind,
As his wealth and fame increase, it is time to put security issues on the agenda.
