Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1035: Beat it up with a rake

"You're already drunk?"

Inside an izakaya in Bunkyo Ward, Hideki Hanyu looked at Noriko Sakai, who was lying unconscious on the tatami mat, and spoke with surprise.

He never expected that after entering this izakaya for a late-night snack, Noriko Sakai, who took the initiative to visit Shinobu Nakayama on set, would actually start drinking with Shinobu Nakayama.

Although he could roughly guess the reason, it was nothing more than girls fighting over him.

The problem is that Noriko Sakai, who initiated the drinking contest, was the first to get drunk and pass out, even though it was just ordinary sake.

In contrast, Shinobu Nakayama, who was two years younger than Noriko Sakai, only had a flushed face and showed no signs of being drunk.

Hideki Hanyu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

It must be said that among the women he had relationships with, several were physically weak, making them the most vulnerable of all.

For example, Li Jiaxin from Hong Kong, Yasuko Sawaguchi and Haruko Naito from Japan, and Noriko Sakai right in front of us.

Whenever Hideki Yuzuru was alone with these women, not only could he not fully enjoy himself, but he also had to be extremely careful, for fear of accidentally ruining them.

"Miss Zhongshan, please help me get her into the car."

"Okay, Mr. Yuzuru."

Shinobu Nakayama readily agreed, but as soon as the girl got involved, Hideki Hanyu realized the seriousness of the problem.

Despite appearing sober, Shinobu Nakayama was walking unsteadily. Instead of helping Hideki Hanyu support Noriko Sakai, she needed Hideki Hanyu's help in return.

Fortunately, Hideki Hanyu was strong enough to carry one and help the other into the car.

The izakaya was located in Bunkyo Ward, so the car quickly returned to the Yorozuya.

Noriko Sakai was so drunk she was completely unconscious, so their plan to soak in the hot springs together was naturally ruined.

After settling him in a bedroom, Hideki Yuzuru went to visit Shinobu Nakayama, who was unwilling to be sent home.

Shinobu Nakayama had already been placed in a guest room by Asahiko.

When Hideki Hanyu knocked on the door and entered, a girl dressed in a Japanese high school sailor uniform was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Is there anything else you need, Miss Zhongshan?"

Slightly tipsy, Shinobu Nakayama replied with a flushed face, "No, Ms. Machiko was very thoughtful."

"Then get some rest. I'll arrange for someone to take you away tomorrow morning."

After finishing his sentence, Hideki Hanyu prepared to leave.

After all, the girl was born in 1973, so he still had some reservations.

Unexpectedly, Nakayama Shinobu said, "Wait, I..."

Because Shinobu Nakayama's voice was too soft, Hideki Habu only heard "wait" and didn't hear anything after that.

Hideki Hanyu asked, "What is Ms. Nakayama saying?"

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Nakayama could only raise her voice and say, "I would like to ask Mr. Yuzuru to help me practice the scenes that need to be reshot?"

"Me?" Hideki Yuzuru pointed to his nose. "The scenes I helped you practice for reshoots?"

This is the first time Hideki Hanyu has ever heard of such a request since he traveled through time.

Excluding the flop movie that Yukio Tanaka directed for the original owner, and apart from the movie "Travel" directed by Daiki Kurokawa, he has never acted in a film since he transmigrated.

He knows absolutely nothing about acting.

Of course, he never intended to be an actor.

Hideki Hanyu was about to refuse outright, but then Shinobu Nakayama started talking about the roles.

"In this scene, the male lead confesses his love to me, and I have to respond. I will also be kissed on the lips. This is my first time filming a scene like this, and I am worried that I will not perform well, so I hope to prepare in advance."

Upon hearing the content, the scumbag instantly became interested.

So what if I was born in 1973? I was just helping with rehearsals.

Anyway, in the perverse Japanese entertainment industry, there are plenty of girls even younger than Shinobu Nakayama in explicit films; he's just following the industry traditions in Japan.

As for whether Nakayama Shinobu was genuinely planning to rehearse with him or was simply using the excuse of rehearsing to get close to him under the influence of alcohol, that remains to be seen.

The scumbag doesn't care at all; does he think he'll suffer a loss?
"In that case, I'll help Miss Nakayama so that her filming can go smoothly."

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's agreement, Shinobu Nakayama's eyes lit up with joy. Then, as if worried that Hideki Hanyu might change his mind, she immediately began to explain to him what they would be filming.

Soon, the practice began.

Hideki Hanyu and Shinobu Nakayama sat on the edge of the bed. Hideki Hanyu looked at Shinobu Nakayama awkwardly and recited his lines to confess his love to her.

After he finished speaking, he found that Nakayama Shinobu did not respond at all, but just stared at him blankly with her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Miss Zhongshan, it's your turn to say your lines."

Little did Hideki Yuzuru know that at that moment, Shinobu Nakayama was preoccupied with the thought that Mr. Yuzuru had confessed to her and that he actually said he liked her.

As for the rehearsal scenes, the girl, who was completely infatuated with the scumbag, had long forgotten about them.

Even after hearing Hideki Hanyu's reminder, the girl only replied with a lovestruck tone.

"I like you too, sir."

How could a scumbag who's a seasoned womanizer not see what's going on?

He immediately followed up with, "When did you start liking it?"

Shinobu Nakayama replied, "I've liked it for a long time."

"Then please continue to like it, Miss Nakayama."

As Hideki Yuzuru spoke, he gently pushed Shinobu Nakayama onto the bed, following the script requirements of the rehearsal.

Then, in a gentle voice, she asked, "Ms. Nakayama, I'd like to continue with the rest of the story."

According to Shinobu Nakayama, the male protagonist will touch the female protagonist's lips with his own here, completing an incredibly innocent kiss.

But given the current atmosphere, how could the scumbag possibly continue playing his original role?

After Nakayama Shinobu nodded shyly and said "Okay".

Hideki Hanyu immediately leaned in and passionately kissed the girl.

As emotions built up with each kiss, and Shinobu Nakayama embraced Hideki Hanyu emotionally, things began to spiral out of control.

At this moment, Hideki Hanyu naturally couldn't care less about being born in 1973.

The JK uniform on Shinobu Nakayama's body gradually disappeared, completely devoured by Hideki Hanyu.

Wait till it's all over.

Although Shinobu Nakayama lacked experience on her first visit, she was unable to fully satisfy Hideki Hanyu.

However, the emotional value derived from her identity gives the scumbag immense psychological satisfaction.

After all, she's the girl from Jet Li's "Fist of Legend," the dream girl of countless boys.

The sense of accomplishment from having your past life's fantasies come true is far more satisfying than physical pleasure.

Besides, although Shinobu Nakayama is still quite young, her pure and lovely appearance is undiminished, and her fresh and charming looks make her very attractive to scumbags.

Meanwhile, Shinobu Nakayama, who was also feeling happy, lay on Hideki Hanyu's chest and asked him a question that Hideki Hanyu had heard countless times.

"Does the gentleman prefer me or his older sister?"

Without hesitation, Hideki Hanyu blurted out, "Of course I like you more."

Experienced scumbags know very well that at this point, women only want one answer: to firmly choose the other person.

Even if it's a lie, the girl will be happy.

If you hesitate even slightly, or try to analyze the pros and cons with reason, you'll get the wrong answer.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Nakayama Shinobu's face lit up with a happy expression, and he immediately followed up with another question.

"Does the gentleman prefer the method or me?"

Hideki Hanyu once again gave the correct answer, "I still prefer Ms. Nakayama."

Shinobu Nakayama's smile grew even sweeter, and she then propped herself up to give Hideki Hanyu a kiss. Afterwards, she sweetly told Hideki Hanyu, "From now on, you can call me Shinobu-chan."

"Okay, Shinobu."

After finishing his sentence, Hideki Hanyu glanced at the time and said to Shinobu Nakayama, "It's getting late, let's rest."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nakayama Shinobu glanced at him shyly, "Although I haven't recovered yet, I can help you in a way that will last forever."

After saying that, the girl started climbing down.

Seeing this, Hideki Yuzuru really wanted to explain, "When I said 'rest,' I really just meant rest."

But since the girl was like that, he wasn't one to spoil the mood, so he silently accepted her kindness.

……

The next day.

November 21st.

Hideki Hanyu was woken up from his bed.

However, the person who woke him up was not the maid or housekeeper Machiko, but Noriko Sakai, who woke up from a hangover and found that Hideki Hanyu was not by her side and was searching for him everywhere.

Looking at Hideki Hanyu and Shinobu Nakayama sleeping together, Noriko Sakai's expression was one of surprise and sorrow, her voice trembling, "Hideki-nii, you...you two..."

In the guest room, Nakayama Shinobu, who had been startled awake, buried his head under the covers with a slightly ashamed expression.

However, the scumbag looked completely calm and even turned around and blamed Noriko Sakai.

“We just acted impulsively after drinking. Last night I clearly advised Fa Zi not to drink, but he wouldn’t listen, which led to everyone getting drunk.”

“But…” Noriko Sakai tried to explain.

Knowing that Noriko Sakai suffered from a severe lack of love due to her family background and had a serious people-pleasing personality, Hideki Hanyu interrupted her without any politeness.

"Fa Zi, are you trying to tell me that you deliberately got everyone drinking last night because you suspected me and were jealous of Miss Zhongshan?"

Hideki Hanyu's direct revelation of Noriko Sakai's secret left her flustered and completely at a loss for words.

The scumbag then pressed his advantage, getting up and walking up to Noriko Sakai.

He gently pulled Noriko Sakai into his arms and spoke tenderly to the girl.

"Fazi, it's okay. I'm not blaming you, and I will never blame you."

Because no matter what happens, I will forgive you, and I will always love you and protect you from any harm.

The scumbag's counter-accusation of "forgiveness" and his final sweet words were exactly what Noriko Sakai found so appealing.

The girl had completely forgotten everything that had just happened; all that remained in her mind were the scumbag's last sweet nothings. With eyes full of affection, she asked, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

After giving a firm answer, the scumbag lowered his head and kissed her.

Next, Hideki Hanyu and Noriko Sakai gave Shinobu Nakayama a real-world demonstration, and even showed him his name, which was tattooed in the most hidden place by Noriko Sakai.

The scumbag who easily won over two girls spent over three hours in the guest room before finally coming out.

The two exhausted girls continued to rest, while Hideki Yuzuru went about his business.

Last night, Director Naito passed away, and there are some arrangements that need to be made immediately.

Seeing that there were already related reports, he felt he had to take advantage of the high level of media attention to do certain things.

Hideki Hanyu left the Yorozuya before lunch.

This time, however, he didn't ride in Marco's car or leave through the hidden back door. Instead, he drove his most eye-catching Lamborghini supercar in a very high-profile manner, speeding out of the main gate.

The reporters who had been staking out the Yorozuya shop for years spotted him immediately.

However, that wasn't enough. With a few tails following him, his Lamborghini drove all the way to the Naito family home, where a funeral was being held and the media was gathered.

Many media outlets were surprised to see Hideki Hanyu appear, who had not been seen for a long time, but they all believed that Hanyu was there to mourn the passing of Director Naito.

When Hideki Hanyu got off the car and was interviewed, he gave the same answer.

"Director Naito was a respected senior figure in the business world. His passing is a loss to the Japanese business community, and I feel extremely regretful..."

Hideki Hanyu, who spoke high-sounding words, came out with another person by his side after entering the Naito family home alone to pay his respects.

A woman dressed in a black kimono.

It was none other than Haruko Naito, who had been keeping vigil in the mourning hall.

As the granddaughter of the recently deceased director Naito, Haruko Naito's identity is not unfamiliar to the media.

If Haruko Naito had simply been seeing Hideki Hanyu off, the media wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it; they would have simply accepted it as the host's way of treating a guest.

However, in full view of everyone, after seeing Hideki Hanyu to the door, Haruko Naito was surprised when Hideki Hanyu took the initiative to hug her.

The intimate way the two hugged, and the way Hideki Hanyu patted Haruko Naito's shoulder to comfort her, clearly went beyond the boundaries of host and guest.

Even ordinary friends would never go to such lengths.

As the hug ended, Haruko Naito even took the initiative to straighten Hideki Hanyu's suit and tie, her expression gentle like a wife seeing her husband off at the door.

In an instant, the flashbulbs surrounded the two of them.

Media reporters aren't blind; it would be strange if they couldn't see by now that the two had a special relationship.

Hideki Hanyu is one of the most influential young people in Japan, holding titles such as the world's richest man, a famous writer, a contemporary literary giant, and a playboy.

Any news involving Hideki Hanyu is bound to be popular in Japan.

Romantic scandals and gossip can trigger a surge in demand.

Unfortunately, since Keiko Matsuzaka, Hideki Hanyu has never publicly acknowledged any romantic relationship.

Even though the media has captured a lot of evidence, and even though Weekly Bunshun has repeatedly provided solid evidence, Hideki Hanyu has remained silent.

In addition, since Hideki Hanyu is a media mogul, the media dare not be too outrageous. Therefore, whenever these news stories break out, they are all like wildfire.

However, Hideki Hanyu's intimate interaction with Haruko Naito in front of numerous media outlets has immediately sparked countless speculations among the media.

Is Hideki Hanyu, this notorious playboy, finally settling down?
Are they preparing for a marriage alliance with the Naito family?

Just speculating doesn't fit the media's usual practice.

So the moment Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Haruko Naito and walked out of the Naito family home, countless reporters swarmed around him, raising their microphones and bombarding him with questions.

There is only one question: what is the relationship between Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito?
However, Hideki Hanyu did not answer a word, allowing his bodyguards to escort him into the Lamborghini, where he stepped on the gas and roared away.

Even if Hideki Hanyu doesn't answer, the photos he just took are enough to let the media use their imaginations.

That afternoon, media outlets reported that Hideki Hanyu might be dating Haruko Naito.

However, as always, such interactions alone are not enough to convince the public and remain mere speculation.

Furthermore, out of consideration for Hideki Hanyu's reaction, the media used descriptions such as "possibly," "speculate," and "perhaps."

To the media's surprise, Hideki Hanyu soon provided them with new evidence.

The date was November 22nd.

When Director Naito held her formal farewell ceremony and funeral, Hideki Hanyu was surprisingly dressed in a black suit and accompanied Haruko Naito throughout the entire process.

This completely friendly attitude instantly ignited public opinion.

The media began reporting on the relationship between Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito.

However, what surprised the media the most was that all the media outlets affiliated with the Cloud Platform also reported on this matter.

Even the reports from cloud-based media outlets are more in-depth than those from other media.

The discussion extends directly from their romance to their marriage, and what changes their union would bring to the Naito family, Itochu Corporation, and even the Japanese business world.

Seeing that the media outlets affiliated with Cloud Media Group were personally involved, other media outlets seemed to have received some kind of hint and also began to delve deeper into Hideki Hanyu's new relationship.

In an instant, across numerous media outlets, from entertainment to social sections, from finance to front-page headlines, Hideki Hanyu, who had been relatively quiet in Japan for some time, once again dominated the news coverage.
