...

Early in the morning, Naoki Nagayama took Taro Taro out.

The destination is my first residence after coming to Tokyo, an apartment in Waseda.

After I came back from eating last night, I naturally heard Tsuruko’s message and learned the good news that she was admitted to Waseda University. I called her in the evening and congratulated her. By the way, I also mentioned that I planned to pack up the Waseda apartment and give it to Tsuruko.

Come and live while going to school.

What? Zumiyama Sakurain? How is that possible!

Please, we are all adults. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if Tsuruko Nagayama brings her boyfriend home for the night, or Naoki Nagayama brings his girlfriend back for the night?

What's more, it's not like we don't have this condition! The Waseda apartment has been empty for almost more than a year.

After a long time, Naoki Nagayama came to this small apartment of 20 square meters again. This was his first house in Showa!

Tsuruko and Xiaonai stayed here when they came to Tokyo to visit, and even treated Akina sisters to dinner in the house...

Nagayama Naoki took Yutaro around the room. Since the housekeeping company was hired to clean regularly, the room was still very clean.

The kitchen utensils are all well stored in the cabinets, there are no problems with natural gas, the walls are clean and stain-free, and even the small TV and the magazines on the side cabinet are well placed.

It's just deserted and not very popular.

Taro wandered around the room, seeming to smell the smell left by the owner when he lived here a long time ago, and seemed very excited.

Nagayama Naoki walked to the balcony and looked outside. The residential area was still very lively in the morning, and you could also see children playing outside. By the way, it was still spring break.

Huh? Isn't that family below the prototype of the story when I wrote "The Courtyard of Summer"?

The homeowner seems to be an old man named Nagai Tadahiro. The cosmos in the yard have not bloomed yet, but the entire yard is neatly maintained with green plants. It seems that the three children are the prototypes of Kazuya Haruyama, Eda Harakami, and Shi Akita.

The three little guys really had an extraordinary bond with this old man~

Feeling the wonder of connecting people, Naoki Nagayama revealed a smile...

.......

In Waseda's apartment, Nagayama Naoki spent the whole morning. In addition to remembering the past, he also had to pack up the things left behind that were not suitable for Tsuruko to see, such as some more explicit magazines.

Waseda University will start school in April, which means Tsuruko will come to Tokyo soon, and this will be her residence for four years.

After coming out of the apartment, Nagayama Naoki was originally going to go back to Sansakura-in, but he always felt that he had forgotten something, so he sat in the car and began to think hard.

Today is... Monday?

Naoki Nagayama stepped on the brakes!

White teeth!

There was another message from Otomo-san last night!

He said that he was going to TV Tokyo this morning to discuss the preparations for "The Three Cat Eye Sisters"!!!

But Nagayama Naoki was shocked by the news that Tsuruko was admitted to college, and completely forgot about the news.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 11:30. The morning was almost over~

"...Otomo-san must be so angry..."

Nagayama Naoki was so guilty that he had indeed forgotten it. He was already wondering if there were dozens of urging calls from Yoshimura Otomo in the phone recording of Yamazakuin...

…."Yangtaro...what should I do?"

He looked at the co-pilot's dog with helpless eyes, but the dog tilted his head and looked cute.

There was a long ideological struggle between admitting his mistake and escaping. After a while, Nagayama Naoki made up his mind. He... was prepared to pretend that he didn't know!

After all, if you admit that you have forgotten, you will be laughed at by the other two people for who knows how long...

Moreover, thanks to the inconvenience of communication in this era, there is not even a bb machine, so real-time communication is completely impossible.

What happened to the message on the answering machine? I was hungover last night. Is it okay if I didn’t hear it?

Besides, didn't we discuss it in a meeting before? This time, Naoki Nagayama planned to hand over the project of "The Three Cat Eye Sisters" completely to Shuichi Yoto, so nothing would happen without me~

In this way, he forcibly found an excuse for himself to break the appointment. Nagayama Naoki was full of the spirit of "Ah Q" and happily drove towards home~

.......

When he arrived at Sansakura-in, it was not past 12 o'clock. Naoki Nagayama rushed to the living room immediately and saw the message light on the phone flashing... Was it really a call?

"Naoki-san, have you woken up from your hangover? You are going to TV Tokyo today! Don't forget it!"

This is the earliest one, probably from the studio, but how did he know he had a hangover? Did he hear something from Yutaka Ozaki? But how could it be today?

"Naoki-san, why haven't you arrived yet? Didn't you hear the previous message? If you did, please reply immediately..." He's starting to get impatient!

"Naoki-san, are you not planning to come? Are you planning to let go of this project?! Please give me a reply and let me and Shuichi-san know..." The voice has become lower...

The last message was very brief: "Naoki-san... Shuichi-san and I went there first..."

Yabai! Otomo-san may be really angry...

what to do......

His mind raced, and after thinking over and over again, he decided to tell a lie!

"There was once a sincere love...ah!" is a joke...

Naoki Nagayama called back. Because Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Yontou were not in the office at this time, they obviously switched to recording mode:

"Otomo-san, private Marseille, I didn't hear the message before..." It was a good admission of mistake, and the next step was an excuse, "I went to a nightclub to drink the night before, and then I went to drink and watch the cherry blossoms while I was drunk.

, I slept until noon and didn’t get up until noon~”

"But as for "The Three Cat Eye Sisters", I am very relieved to have you and Shuichi Indou. Didn't I say that before? This TV series will be filmed by Shuichi-san, and the actors have already been selected. What will happen next?

Just discuss it~"

"The rest...let's talk about it when we meet in the afternoon. Above!"

You should have heard this message when Fangcun Otomo and Yin Tangxiu went back to the studio. If you say it yourself then, Otomo-san's anger will definitely be gone~

Regarding this old man, Nagayama Naoki felt that he could already handle it firmly.

........

I was not in a hurry, and after having a delicious lunch with Yotaro, I took a nap at Sansakura-in.

It wasn't until he woke up that Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio alone.

.... As soon as he entered the door, he responded to the employees' greetings as usual, and then asked Komori Masataka at his work station: "Masataka-san, are Otomo-san and Shuichi-san back?"

"Hi! Already in the office."

"How were their emotions when they came back?"

"Huh?" Komori Masataka was stunned for a moment when he was asked. His mood when he came back... "This... should be okay, right? It's no different from usual. He talks to everyone very gently."

Doesn't that mean there isn't much of a problem? The preparation and communication for "Three Maoyan Sisters" should be going smoothly?

I still wanted to ask more questions, but I saw the door of the office opened, and Yin Tangxiu stuck his head out.

"Naoki, what are you doing? Come in yet!"

It seems that Shuichi-san is anxious to settle the score with Naoki Nagayama...

"Hi~"

After walking into the office, sure enough, Yoshimura Otomo and Yin Tang Shuichi were waiting for him. Nagayama Naoki smiled sheepishly: "Haha, Otomo-san and Shuichi-san have already negotiated and come back? How is the communication on the preparation work going?

Already?"

However, Yoshimura Otomo did not answer, but looked at Nagayama Naoki with a very strange look: "Naoki-san, I heard that you were drunk and did a striptease in the disco at Takadanobaba?"

???!!!

"Striptease?"

What the hell is striptease! Although I know the rumors are a bit outrageous, this one is too exaggerated!

Nagayama Naoki was extremely angry: "Who is ruining my reputation! It's obviously just an ordinary disco! Otomo-san, who is spreading rumors!"

Fangcun Otomo avoided answering: "Isn't Naoki-san a good drinker? How could he be drunk? I heard he was almost picked up by a stranger?"

"It was just an accident...I accidentally drank a strong cocktail..."

Indou Shuichi was gloating at the side: "Naoki-san, you have this day too! Before, you were teasing us about our poor ability to drink. We all look ugly when we are drunk... It turns out that I can actually do a striptease after being drunk!"

"Shuichi-san, I didn't do a striptease..."

Nagayama Naoki knew that it would be completely ineffective to explain to someone who didn’t want to hear your explanation at this time, so he quickly changed the topic.

"So, how was your negotiation this morning?"

Yoshimura Otomo then replied: "There is no problem at all. TV Tokyo is willing to release the first episode in May, but it will be late at night after 10 o'clock. One episode will be paid quarterly!"

Yun Tang Shuichi continued: "So we will start filming this month. Is there any problem with the time?"

Nagayama Naoki nodded: "Anyway, the script and the starring role have been decided. I said before that this time it will be shot entirely by Shuichi-san. The next step will depend on Shuichi-san's opinion."

Indou Shuichi is actually not afraid of "The Three Cat Eye Sisters". After all, it is adapted from a popular manga, so the effect will not be much worse. However, this guy Naoki Nagayama has always wanted to blame everything on himself.
