Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1224 1233, we know that Naoki-san’s efficiency is absolutely OK!!!

Since it is the rainy season these days, Naoki Nagayama did not continue shooting the exterior scenes of "Departures", and he gave the crew a holiday again~

Taking advantage of the free time in the morning, he could finish the unfinished work.

"Mingna~"

Naoki Nagayama asked Akina who was playing with Xiao Xiahua.

"It's something important!"

"Nani?"

"When can I finish reading your novel?" Naoki Nagayama continued, "It's the one called Full House. I'm going to show it to the editor at Shogakukan~"

"There's still a little bit of the ending that I don't want to watch."

"unwilling?"

"Yeah." Mingcai had a confused expression on her face, "I'll be gone after I finish reading it."

"."

What kind of weird idea is this?! Shouldn't you finish reading a novel?

Naoki Nagayama walked to Akina's side and asked in surprise:

"Don't you want to know the ending?"

"Of course I do!" Akina continued, "But I don't want to..."

"Forehead"

“Very confusing”

As Akina was talking, she looked at Naoki Nagayama and said in a complaining tone,

"Anyway, it's all Naoki-san's fault!"

"what?"

Naoki Nagayama's eyes widened. This was no longer the classic "Are you wrong?", this was completely a scapegoat!

“The story is so well written that I can’t bear to finish it.”

Akina also stood up and put Xiao Xiahua, who was looking at her parents in surprise, into Naoki Nagayama's arms, revealing a cunning look.

"I'm going to finish reading it now, but Naoki-san needs to start writing his next novel! It still has to be this sweet and interesting!"

After saying that, she kissed Naoki Nagayama on the face, then quickly walked upstairs to finish reading the manuscript placed on the bedside table.

".Is this a custom text?"

It seems like I was PUAed without knowing it, right? It seems not.

Naoki Nagayama lowered his head and met Xiao Xiahua's confused eyes. He felt a little confused now:

"Hana-chan, I am increasingly confused about your mother."

"Ahh. Mom."

Xiao Xiahua called out subconsciously.

"."

There was still a little bit of the ending left, so naturally I couldn't watch it for long. After Naoki Nagayama accompanied Xiao Xiahua to look at the children's coloring book, Akina came down from upstairs.

Akina said happily with a smile on her face:

"It's a happy ending indeed! It's so nice to be together!"

"."

It’s a love story, how could it have a bad ending!

If I write a sad ending, won’t many readers send me knives?

Wait, it seems that tragic love is more touching.

A lot of thoughts suddenly popped up in Naoki Nagayama's mind, but Akina did not stop. Instead, she handed the file bag to Naoki Nagayama and then took Xiao Xiahua into her arms.

"Alright, alright, Naoki-san, go and give the manuscript to Shogakukan."

Akina acted very coldly, like a factory owner who exploited the workers' blood and sweat.

"Then Naoki-san should come back quickly and write a new novel before dinner. Otherwise..."

When she said this, Akina suddenly blushed:

"Otherwise, make up for it with your body!"

"!!!"

Is it so blatant after marriage?! Is it so unrestrained after having children?

Xiao Xiahua is right next to us, Mingcai, don't you avoid people when you talk? You will lead the children astray!!!

"You wish! You're a nympho who covets my body!"

Naoki Nagayama folded his arms in a pretentious manner.

"I won't give in!"

"puff"

Akina couldn't help laughing, she put the baby down and started to chase Naoki Nagayama, and Xiao Xiahua was also cheering excitedly on the sofa~

However, after the child's mother was taken advantage of, she let the child's father escape.

After putting on his coat, Naoki Nagayama took an umbrella from the entrance and walked slowly into the dense rain.

Shogakukan is actually not too far from Yamaozakuin, and the rain view is also very nice, so Naoki Nagayama decided to walk there.

Dark clouds covered most of the sky, and the light that came through the gaps in the clouds seemed to have a cold-toned filter added to it, making the entire city seem sentimental.

Walking alone on the sidewalk of Chiyoda, his unhurried footsteps formed a sharp contrast with the hurried pedestrians. Naoki Nagayama walked towards Shogakukan while enjoying the rainy scene.

The continuous raindrops hit the umbrella, and the sound of puffing is like massaging your ears, which is comfortable and relaxing.

"No wonder the big Totoro likes it~"

This thought popped up in Naoki Nagayama's mind, and then he thought of "The Garden of Words" which he had recalled and drawn a long time ago.

“After My Neighbor Totoro, how about making this animation as well?”

"No, no, it's too expensive to draw such a complex animation in this era."

Maybe it was because of the rain, or maybe it was the fresh moisture, but strange thoughts kept emerging in Naoki Nagayama's mind along the way.

These thoughts slowly disappeared until we arrived at the familiar Shogakukan.

"Naoki-san!"

The front desk lady with glasses, Nozawa Reiki, spotted Naoki Nagayama who was packing up his umbrella and excitedly went forward to greet him.

"Why are you here on a rainy day?"

"Because I have to submit my manuscript!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Bongji-san has been pushing me for a long time!"

"Submit your manuscript?"

Nozawa Reiki helped Naoki Nagayama put away his umbrella and led him to the interior of the Super Shogakukan.

"Ah! Naoki-san has a new work?!"

“Haha, yes.”

"What genre is it? Romance or science fiction?"

Because Naoki Nagayama's previous novel was "Jurassic Park", Reiki Nozawa didn't know for a while whether the great writer would continue to write new types of novels.

However, judging from her own interests, Reiki Nozawa still hopes that Naoki Nagayama will continue to write about love!

"It's love!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and followed Reiki Nozawa into Shogakukan.

"A light comedy of love!"

"That's great!"

Nozawa Reiki's happiness is visible to the naked eye, and she has even been planning to get along well with Morikawa Kuniharu, and she took a look at it before the trial printing.

As they were talking, the two of them came to Kuniharu Morikawa's office, and Nozawa Reiki knocked on the door attentively:

"Naoki-san, I'll take you here."

"Thank you."

Kuni Morikawa, who was sitting in the office concentrating on something, raised his head and saw Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san?!"

After he finished speaking, the expression on his face changed from surprise to surprise:

“Have you finished writing your new novel?!!!”

He knew that Naoki Nagayama would never hang out in Shogakukan for no reason.

"Bang Zhi Sang knows everything like a god~"

Naoki Nagayama patted the file bag in his hand and placed it on the desk.

“It took a lot of effort, and here is the result”

"Hahaha, it's Naoki-san!"

Morikawa Kuniharu quickly smiled and asked Naoki Nagayama to sit down, then he busied himself with serving cups of tea. At the same time, he quietly took the file bag on the desk.

"Full House, right? I know Naoki-san is very efficient. Once he has inspiration, he can write a novel very quickly!"

"Ha ha."

Naoki Nagayama laughed it off, saying that it was obviously written a long time ago, but was just taken over by someone.

After chatting for a while, Morikawa Kuniharu finally couldn't hold back his inner desire:

"Private Marseille. Naoki-san, just treat this place as your home. I'll be watching first!"

"well."

Since they were so familiar with each other, Naoki Nagayama didn't care too much. After seeing that Kuniharu Morikawa had already started reading the manuscript, he looked around the office and decisively picked up the latest issue of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" to read.

Slam Dunk is still the main issue of this magazine, and Naoki Nagayama was surprised to find that the manga has just reached the plot of Mitsui Shou.

"Well"

After flipping through the book with great interest, Naoki Nagayama finally saw the classic scene where Mitsui Shou knelt in front of Coach Anzai with tears streaming down his face, shouting:

"Coach, I want to play basketball!"

After who knows how many years, Naoki Nagayama still felt emotional when he saw this picture. This is the initial feeling that hot-blooded comics bring to people!

As he flipped through the pages, Naoki Nagayama was surprised to find that a new manga was also being previewed, and he had also read the animated version of this manga before.

"Ranma 1/2?!!"

A healthy and beautiful girl wearing a cheongsam and a huge cute panda. This is clearly a Chinese-style comic!

The female drowning spring inside can change gender, which also impressed Naoki Nagayama, who once turned into a beautiful girl when he touched the cold water.

So the question is, how to get your roommate to take a dip in the female drowning spring? !

"Haha~"

Morikawa Kuniharu, who was immersed in reviewing a manuscript, was disturbed by the sudden laughter and looked up at Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"

"Ah, stupid tape!" Naoki Nagayama waved his hands, "I just remembered something funny."

Kuniharu Morikawa nodded, and then continued to watch "Full House" with immersion, while Nagayama Naoki, who was sitting opposite him, continued to watch "Ranma 1/2" with great surprise.

For a moment, the only sounds in the office were the turning of pages and the sound of drinking water.

Half an hour later, Morikawa Kuniharu had a satisfied look on his face:

"Although I've only watched part of it, Naoki-san, the plot of Full House is very interesting! It's very attractive, and I'm looking forward to continuing to watch it. Once I report it to the editor-in-chief, I can sign the contract for publication!"

For writers of Naoki Nagayama's caliber, Shogakukan has given the green light to all processes! And all the conditions are top-notch.

"Haha, really? As long as Bunji-san thinks it's okay~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and was about to leave.

"Then I'll come over to sign the contract after Bangzhi-san has finished his report."

"Akizuma Naoki-san"

Seeing that Naoki Nagayama was about to leave, Kuniharu Morikawa quickly stood up:

"How can we let Naoki-san go back like this?! This will make people say that Shogakukan didn't treat us well enough!"

It has been a long time since Morikawa Kuniharu saw Naoki Nagayama, and he didn't want to have a relationship with him that was just once a year:

"It's almost noon, let's go have a drink! At a fancy restaurant!"

"We are so familiar with each other, Kuniharu-san." Nagayama Naoki actually didn't need a meal, "No need to spend money."

"Even familiar friends should be treated well!"

Morikawa Kuniharu quickly grabbed Naoki Nagayama's arm to prevent him from escaping.

"Besides, I still have a lot of money in my budget for entertainment this year, Naoki-san, there's no need to save for Shogakukan!"

"."

Since Kuniharu Morikawa said so and was so enthusiastic, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to follow him to a very expensive Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku.

Then we chatted and drank until two o'clock in the afternoon.

After Morikawa Kuniji came home drunk, Nagayama Naoki, with a slightly red face, took a taxi back to Yamazakurain.

"so"

Akina Nakamori wiped Naoki Nagayama's face with some anger.

"Naoki-san left me and Natsuka-chan to go have a feast!"

Because Shogakukan is relatively close, Akina even prepared a sumptuous lunch at home at noon!

Although she knew that nothing would happen to a man like Naoki Nagayama and that he must have been delayed by something, Akina was still worried for a while.

".Because Bangji-san was too enthusiastic and wouldn't let me go."

Naoki Nagayama was a little weak, and he did not inform his family because he did not bring his phone with him.

"You should also tell your family about this!"

Akina wanted to continue being angry, but when she saw her husband looking a little drunk and dazed, she thought he looked a little cute and she stopped being angry.

It turns out that when you are looking for a partner, you should look for someone who is good-looking. When you are about to get angry, you can just look at that handsome (beautiful) face and you won’t get angry anymore.

"Be sure to tell me next time," Akina said softly, "otherwise Hana-chan and I will be worried!"

"Hey, I'll definitely remember it!"

At this time, of course, everything is up to my wife~

After he had refreshed himself, Naoki wanted to hug Xiao Xiahua, but the little girl smelled the alcohol and refused to get close to him. She even resisted sharing a room with him, which made Naoki feel disappointed.

"Haha, you can't hug Hua-chan after drinking~"

Akina smiled and said,

"At least we have to wait until the evening for the alcohol smell to dissipate! And Hana-chan doesn't want to be in the same room with the smell of alcohol right now."

".well."

Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to stay in the study room alone.

Leaning his head back in the chair, Naoki Nagayama felt a dizzy sensation in his head, and thoughts from the day kept coming to his mind.

I don't know when the sound of rain outside the window started to get louder, it was both oppressive and violent, with some faint thunder mixed in, it seemed to be washing everything between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Naoki Nagayama had an image of a man running away in a storm, tearing off the clothes that bound him as he ran.

Until finally shouting silently to the sky!

During this time, there is also a narration that sounds like the voice of God:

"Some birds are born to be caged, their feathers are too bright"

With a "crack", a thunder exploded not far away.

Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes in the light of lightning. His originally chaotic eyes became clear, and he murmured about the movie he had just recalled:

“The Shawshank Redemption?”
