Naoki Nagayama is enjoying a seafood feast at a seafood restaurant in Akasaka~

The refreshing oysters are topped with a little lemon juice, and the sweetness is tasted in the sourness; the chewy lobster meat is topped with a layer of minced garlic, and when you bite it, the garlic flavor is rich and full of taste; the tender salmon is dipped in

Add a little mustard, slightly spicy and melt in your mouth...

In hot weather, eating cold seafood is simply a pleasure.

Nagayama Naoki took a sip of ice-cold soda and motioned to the waiter: "Give me another grilled mussel!"

...

Yutaka Ozaki and Akira Sudo, who had just come out of Being Records, politely said goodbye to Tetsuya Komuro.

As for Oda Tetsuro, he is from Being Records, so naturally he stayed in the office building.

"Ozaki-san, do you want to go back?"

Akira Sudo, who was a bit fat, started to sweat while standing in the sun. He thought about finding a shady place quickly or driving back directly.

Ozaki Yutaka had no intention of going back so early: "It's rare to come out, and nothing happened..."

"Do you still want to hang out on such a hot day?"

"You can always go and watch the livehouse performance~" Yutaka Ozaki glanced at his watch, "Sudou-san, it's already that time, let's find a place to have lunch first~"

Sudou Akira subconsciously touched his belly: "That's right. This is Akasaka. I heard there are many delicious places~"

The two of them walked along the street looking for a shady spot, and soon saw a large seafood shop.

"Ozaki-san, let's go eat seafood!"

"...Wouldn't it be a bit extravagant~" Yutaka Ozaki was a little worried. He was someone who had to save money to eat even tonkotsu ramen half a year ago.

"What are you worried about?" Since the sales of his first album were very good, Ozaki Yutaka can't be considered too poor now, and Sudou Akira is almost halfway out of poverty. "You are already a star! Why are you reluctant to eat seafood?

!”

An old man and a young man chatted noisily and walked into the seafood restaurant. Just as the waiter led the two people to their seats, a person sitting by the window suddenly attracted their attention.

Some people have the kind of temperament that can be seen at a glance in a crowd.

"That's... Naoki-san?" Yutaka Ozaki looked at the person he was discussing just now and suddenly appeared in front of him, feeling unreal.

"right...."

Akira Sudo was also very skeptical.

But since I met him, I naturally wanted to go up and say hello.

........

Nagayama Naoki was eating mussels, immersed in the delicious food, when he suddenly heard a voice next to him:

"Naoki-san?"

"Eh? Ozaki-san, Sudou-san!" He quickly put down the food in his hands, "What a coincidence, you guys come to eat seafood too?"

"Yes, I heard that the food court here is very good." Akira Suto explained briefly, "I just came out of Being Records and ran here."

"I see, but you've come to the right place! Haha~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "The oysters, lobsters and salmon here are very good! The mussels are also very good! Do you want to try one?"

"It must be great to get such a recommendation from Naoki-san..."

Akira Sudou replied politely, but before he could continue, he heard Nagayama Naoki motioning the waiter to add two sets of cutlery to the table: "By the way, two more dishes according to the previous dishes!"

Suddenly, Akira Suto and Yutaka Ozaki were sharing the table with Naoki Nagayama~

Nagayama Naoki... is really invisible!

If the ingredients are ready, the seafood will be served very quickly. Akira Suto and Yutaka Ozaki quickly enjoyed the deliciousness of the seafood, while Naoki Nagayama chatted with them while eating mussels.

"Ozaki-san, how are the preparations for the new album going?"

"It sure tastes good!" Yutaka Ozaki sucked an oyster and felt the smooth texture. He couldn't help but sigh, and then replied, "Most of the songs have been prepared, all that's left is to produce."

"By the way, we just decided on the theme song today, which is Naoki-san's "Jealous"."

Nagayama Naoki didn't expect it. He originally thought that this kind of music style more than ten years later might not be popular now, and it's not the same ballad that has always been the same:

"Really? This is just a song I wrote at random before. Don't force the choice because of me!"

"This is not chosen because Naoki-san is the boss, our music producers also have perseverance!" Akira Suto interjected, "This song is indeed excellent...the brisk melody has been used for two years.

It’s very popular!”

Yutaka Ozaki nodded: "After the emergence of Sticlove, people's acceptance of songs with bright rhythms and fresh lyrics seems to be slowly increasing. For example, "First Love" by Murakami Takazo in May has aroused a good response~"

"Since both of you think it's okay, that's fine." Naoki Nagayama heard that the two professional musicians agreed, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I remember Ozaki-san has held a series of live house concerts, right?"

"Hi, thanks to Zhi Shusang, it has been held many times."

"How's the effect?"

"The fans' response has been very enthusiastic..."

.......

After talking for several rounds, Naoki Nagayama realized that Akira Sudō and Yutaka Ozaki were sitting across from him and were answering Naoki Nagayama's words very seriously.

Unknowingly, has it turned into a work exchange?

Nagayama Naoki recalled the memories of his part-time job in his previous life. He was clearly enjoying lunch comfortably alone, but occasionally when he sat with his superiors, eating turned into a work report!

I didn't expect that I would suddenly become like this...

Reflecting silently in his heart, Naoki Nagayama changed the topic: "Ozaki-san, shouldn't you go to the recording studio this afternoon? It's such a hot day~"

"Huh?" Ozaki Yutaka was stunned by this change, "I guess I won't go back, and I didn't make an appointment in advance..."

Naoki Nagayama relaxedly drank a drink: "It's a rare break, what did Ozaki-san do when he took a break?"

"Probably just listening to music, watching TV... playing football with friends or something like that~" Of course, going to nightclubs and clubs with friends (girlfriends) to have fun cannot be said in public.

.

"Exercise~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "It's a very good hobby. Sudou-san, do you also exercise during your breaks?"

"Me?" Sudou Akira, who was tasting lobster, didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to him, but as a guy close to middle age, he has rich experience.

"I~ sometimes go to clubs in Roppongi to drink wine, sometimes go to friends' concerts to watch performances, play new musical instruments, and often find inspiration in newly opened nightclubs and clubs everywhere...

..”

Do you find inspiration in nightclubs and clubs...

Naoki Nagayama held back his complaints. Sure enough, older guys just have a lot of fun, but speaking of it, ordinary people in this era don’t have many ways to spend time.

"So what does Naoki-san do when he's resting?" Ozaki Yutaka was suddenly curious about his boss's hobbies.

This time, Naoki Nagayama was really confused. He was always resting...

"Generally... I watch TV at home, read books, play with cats and dogs, and go out for a run..." I thought again, "Go drink tea... and then go to the company

Chatting with people and stuff like that..."

"It's really...simple and healthy..." The two people opposite first felt that the boss was bored all day long, and then thought,

"Going to the company to chat during breaks is considered a pastime?"

"Yeah... Anyway, I don't have to work when I go to the company~"

One sentence almost made Akira Sudo and Yutaka Ozaki, who were still working as workers, break their defense.

How can it be repaired? We have forgotten that the other party is a hateful capitalist who oppresses workers!

However, after the topic moved to other places, the atmosphere between the few people became much more relaxed.

Sudou Akira and Ozaki Yutaka happily ate seafood. Nagayama Naoki occasionally drank a few sips of drinks and ate a mussel, and chatted with them easily, just like meeting old friends.

After there were only leftovers on the table, Naoki Nagayama went to pay the bill.

"How can I ask Naoki-san to treat me? It's so rude!" Sudou Akira looked confused, and even Ozaki Yutaka felt a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, it's okay." It's the same thing in any country when the superior checks out.

After walking out of the door, Nagayama Naoki was thinking about saying goodbye. Ozaki Yutaka seemed a little sorry and said casually: "Naoki-san, we are going to the livehouse to watch a performance in the afternoon, do you want to go together?"

"Afternoon?" It seemed like nothing happened... (A real estate agent: "Didn't you say there are a lot of things to do these days?")

"Okay, I'll go take a look too!"

...

The livehouse Yutaka Ozaki chose is Shinjuku ruidok4, which is very close to Kabukicho Street in Shinjuku. The performance started at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"This livehouse is where I performed before I debuted." Arriving at a familiar place, Yutaka Ozaki seemed to start to relax, "I can often see all kinds of strange and different music here."

Nagayama Naoki saw many people in strange clothes gathered in the venue, and there were also many students wearing school uniforms.

"Can students come in too?"
