My daily life with the original diva

"Really? Isn't this mine? It should be full of photos of me and my friends. I had someone take them." Kimura Hiroshi said without changing his expression. In reality, he was testing the reporter to see if there were any other photos on the roll and whether the paparazzi could prove that the roll was his.

As expected, Sato Yo panicked when he said that. He had specially found a new roll of film for this shoot so that he could take more photos. Without any other photos, it would be difficult for him to prove that the film was his. As for the purchase record, he had just picked it up when he sent photos to Weekly Bunshun last time, and there was no purchase record at all.

Seeing the man's panicked expression and his inability to speak for a while, Kimura Hiroshi knew he couldn't prove the film was his. So he didn't press the issue further. He patted Sato Yota on the shoulder and said, "If you keep taking pictures like this, you'll scare my friend. So I have to take the film back. Consider it a purchase."

He took out several ten-thousand-yuan bills from his wallet and stuffed them into Sato Yota's pocket, saying, "This is your compensation. Let's go. I've already been very lenient by not having someone beat you up for taking pictures like this."

Unexpectedly, this top male idol turned out to be such a formidable figure. Sato Yota knew he was doomed today, so he could only wave his hand and let his assistant and him leave.

After taking a few steps, Sato didn't dare to speak ill of Kimura Hiroshi. Instead, he scolded his assistant, saying, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been in such a hurry to call me to film, we could have hidden ourselves and filmed without being discovered. You're such an idiot."

The assistant was scolded but didn't dare to say anything. If they hadn't taken the picture quickly, they probably wouldn't have been able to get any. Who would have thought that this young-looking male idol would dare to come over and snatch the camera?

Seeing the two paparazzi reporters looking dejected as they were about to leave, Kimura Hiroshi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, saying, "Gentlemen, wait a minute, could you tell me your address, or where I can find you?"

"Why are you asking this?" Sato Yota was surprised to be asked this question. He felt that his idol might want to send someone to teach them a lesson. He was so scared that he wanted to run away, but when he thought about how Kimura Hiroshi had chased them earlier, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he didn't run.

“Oh, you two don’t need to panic. After all, you took the photos, so I’ll send you two copies after they’re developed. You can then submit them to entertainment media outlets and receive a generous reward,” Kimura Hiroshi said.

But the two of them refused to believe him. If he wanted them to be exposed, why would he need to steal their film?

Clearly, they didn't believe him. Kimura Hiroshi spoke again, "It seems you don't believe me. Since you can't tell me where you live, I'll tell you a place you often go. I'll have someone deliver the things there at four o'clock the day after tomorrow. You can pick them up then. Any crowded place is fine. That way you don't have to worry, right?"

Judging from their expression, it seemed they really intended to give them photos. Sato Yota and his assistant exchanged a glance and decided to take the risk. So they told him a place, which Kimura Hiroshi noted down, before letting the two of them leave.

Back in the car, Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief after seeing everything in the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you alright, Hiro-kun?"

"It's alright, but I'm afraid I can't keep it a secret that I have a girlfriend anymore. You'll see Akina in the entertainment newspapers in a couple of days," Kimura Hiroshi said with a smile.

Just as the two paparazzi left, Kimura Hiroshi changed his mind. His relationship with Nakamori Akina would be exposed sooner or later, so he might as well control the exposure himself, thus keeping the initiative in his own hands.

However, Akina Nakamori didn't understand what this meant and looked at Hiroshi Kimura curiously. She had seen Hiroshi Kimura snatch the film.

Looking at Hanano Yoko in the back seat, Kimura Hiro whispered an explanation in Nakamori Akina's ear. After listening, Nakamori Akina asked in a slightly worried voice, "Won't this have a big impact on Hiro-kun?"

He patted her head and said, "It's okay. Doing this will put your mind at ease, Akina. From now on, I'll be a public man with a girlfriend. But for now, let's go look at houses."

Nakamori Akina, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, playfully slapped Kimura Hiroshi and said, "Who's worried? I'm just your friend, I don't care if you have a girlfriend or not."

In the back seat, Yoko Hanano watched the whole thing unfold, listening to the two's somewhat cryptic conversation, which made her dizzy. She began to wonder what their relationship was. Judging from this, Mr. Kimura had a girlfriend? Then why was he so intimate with Akina Nakamori? Were they having an affair? That was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Chapter 256 Nobody Dares to Take It

"Kimura-san, the photos you requested have been developed, but why do the photos on this roll look so strange?" Yukio Tomioka handed the film and the developed photos to Hiroshi Kimura, who was waiting in his office.

Yesterday afternoon, Kimura Hiroshi returned to Ken-On, handed him a roll of film, and told him to develop the photos inside using the firm's darkroom, not to hire someone from outside.

Yukio Tomioka originally thought it was a very important photo. He kept a close eye on the staff developing the photo in the darkroom to prevent it from being leaked. However, the developed photo turned out strange and didn't seem to contain anything important.

Taking the photos, Hiroshi Kimura said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tomioka. Let me see what you took."

As Kimura Hiro casually flipped through the developed photos, he was somewhat speechless, because there was no sign of Nakamori Akina in any of the photos developed from the film. The only photo that showed her was one where most of her body was already inside the car, while he was outside smiling and opening the car door for her.

They managed to capture him clearly. Although he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, his face was clearly visible. Given his height, which surpasses that of most people, a closer look would reveal that it was indeed him. There were also two more photos of him rushing towards the paparazzi.

In other words, the film he risked his life to steal yesterday didn't actually capture anything important. The idea that the photos were published in the entertainment media to claim it was him, Hiroshi Kimura, and his girlfriend on an outing is probably a stretch. If he wanted to deny it, it would be an easy thing for him to do.

"This paparazzi is so unprofessional. He didn't even get any important photos. It's really disappointing. I'll just return the film to him as is and see who publishes these photos." Kimura Hiroshi decided to return the film to the paparazzi.

His words left Yukio Tomioka somewhat confused, not understanding what he was talking about. He asked, "What do you mean by returning it to the paparazzi, Kimura-san? What's going on with this film and these photos?"

"Oh, this was taken by paparazzi the day before yesterday when I took Akina to buy real estate. But I discovered it, and I snatched the film from the dog's hand." Kimura Hiroshi said in a very relaxed tone, as if it were a very ordinary thing.

When Yukio Tomioka heard this, his face changed drastically, and he was even somewhat incredulous. He had only just learned about something that could have such a huge impact, and that Hiroshi Kimura had actually stolen something from a paparazzi reporter.

"Kimura-san, you didn't even inform me about this, and you even stole something from a paparazzi reporter. You're really going too far. Do you know what the consequences would be if this got out? It's only because of you. If it were any other artist, I would definitely ask the agency to punish them, even putting them on hiatus wouldn't be an exaggeration," Yukio Tomioka said agitatedly.

For an artist to dare to steal from a paparazzi is absolutely insane. Once the agency finds out, they will definitely punish the artist, because if this gets out, the impact will be enormous. It could completely destroy the image the agency has cultivated in the artist and bring extremely negative consequences to the agency, which is unacceptable to the agency.

"Alright, Mr. Tomioka, I acted impulsively. I'm sorry for not informing you immediately," Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of apology.

For an ordinary celebrity, an apology would be useless in this situation, but who can blame him but Kimura Hiroshi? Tomioka Yukio sighed and said, "You'd better be careful. If your image is ruined, you'll be the one who suffers the most. Recordings and acting can bring in a lot of money."

Knowing that mere persuasion would be useless, and that Kimura Hiroshi cared most about money, Tomioka Yukio could only use this as a way to warn him.

“Okay, I’ll try not to do it again. But being photographed by paparazzi this time means that my girlfriend might be photographed at any time in the future. Since that’s the case, why don’t we take the initiative to expose it? Let’s expose the fact that I have a girlfriend first. Mr. Tomioka, could you please have someone send the film and these photos to this location so that the paparazzi can find the media to publish them?” Kimura Hiroshi gave Tomioka Yukio an address.

He then added, "Also, contact my media friends. This juicy scoop is better shared with my media friends than with others. Have them come and interview me. I want to officially admit that I'm no longer single. Yes, come for the interview tomorrow. This afternoon I also need to sign the real estate transfer contract and get the apartment ownership contract."

The day before yesterday, Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina looked at several apartments, all around 100-200 square meters. These are easy to resell. Kimura Hiroshi reserved ten apartments for Nakamori Akina at a total price of 200 million yen. There was no way around it, they were cheap. This stunned Hanano Yoko, who was present at the time. These two top idols were really too rich. She had witnessed it for herself today.

When he heard that Hiroshi Kimura was going to reveal his relationship, Yukio Tomioka had expected it. In fact, it was the best thing to do so. By revealing it himself, he would have the initiative in his own hands, instead of being photographed by paparazzi and losing all control, which would be very disadvantageous.

"Alright, I'll take care of these things right away. Oh, and I also need to talk to the president, so he doesn't find out nothing later." After saying that, Yukio Tomioka went downstairs to help Hiroshi Kimura with these matters.

Outside a convenience store in Tokyo, Yota Sato was chatting with his friend who worked there, while cautiously watching every customer who came in and out. However, his gaze was somewhat lewd, and many people, especially young women, felt uncomfortable under his gaze and immediately ran away without buying anything.

"Hey, hey, Yota, you've been here for hours. What are you waiting for? Don't stare at the customers who come in like that. You're scaring them away. If today's sales aren't good, the manager will yell at me." His friend said to Yota Sato, clearly annoyed, as the young customer ran off.

After checking the time, Yota Sato said, "I'll be leaving in a little while. If no one comes, I'll be going."

It was almost 4 p.m. and no one had delivered the photos yet. Sato Yota didn't want to wait any longer and was about to leave when a car pulled up in front of the convenience store and a young man got out.

Upon entering the convenience store, I asked, "Who lost a roll of film the day before yesterday?"

Just as Sato Yota was about to leave, his eyes lit up when he heard the young man speak, and he quickly said, "It's me, I lost it."

"You're a reporter, right?" the young man asked again.

“Yes, I’m a reporter, and I lost a roll of film,” Yota Sato quickly replied.

The young man didn't say anything, just handed him an envelope and left.

Unable to wait any longer, Yota Sato tore open the envelope and found that the roll of film had returned, along with some developed photos inside.

Without explaining much to his friend, he quickly took a ride to the photo studio where he usually developed his photos and had all the photos printed out.

The result was a huge disappointment to him. The film was intact, with no signs of cutting, but the photos inside only showed Kimura Hiroshi, and there was no trace of his girlfriend. Sato Yota couldn't see who the woman was at the time, since she was wearing sunglasses and a hat, and they were about to get into the car.

"Damn it, I didn't get a shot. No wonder that guy gave the film back to me. Seriously, that's infuriating!" Yota Sato cursed angrily.

Looking at the photos in his hand, which he had worked so hard to take, he couldn't let them go to waste. So, he took the photos to Takahashi Akio, the entertainment editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine Bunshun, who was about to leave work.

Upon hearing that Yota Sato had taken photos of Hiroshi Kimura and his girlfriend, Akio Takahashi was so excited he almost jumped for joy. He rushed over to take a look, only to find that the so-called girlfriend was only partially visible, with only half her body and a leg showing, while Hiroshi Kimura was captured in his entirety.

He slammed the photo on the table and said, "This is the photo you took. What can you see? If you have nothing else to say, then go take more photos. We'll talk after you get the person in the picture."

If it were any other celebrity, these photos would be enough to prove they were dating, but Kimura Hiroshi wouldn't dare do that. Who knows what kind of attacks he would launch if these photos were posted? Only sufficiently clear photos would be acceptable.

Too lazy to continue paying attention to Yota Sato, Akio Takahashi grabbed his bag and left.

Seeing Takahashi Akira's attitude, Sato Yota became even more indignant. "This is his girlfriend, really. Why don't you believe it? Humph, if you don't believe it, someone else will."

He then took the photos to several entertainment media outlets, but upon hearing that they were related to Kimura Hiroshi's scandals, and especially the photos, none of the media outlets that usually criticized Kimura Hiroshi so vehemently dared to publish them. They knew that if Kimura Hiroshi had any dirt on them, who knew what he might do to them.

For a moment, no one dared to take the photos, let alone publish them. It was only then that Sato Yota realized what a ruthless person the young male idol who had snatched his film the day before was. So many media outlets usually criticized him, but not a single one dared to confront him head-on.

In the end, Yota Sato sold the photos to a second-rate entertainment media outlet for 10,000 yen, less than what Hiroshi Kimura had given him initially. This made Yota Sato want to vomit blood.

Chapter 257 Relationship Exposed

Early in the morning, Hiroki Kimura arrived at the office with some excitement. Upon entering, he saw Yukio Tomioka and several assistants already there. In a good mood, he greeted them, saying, "You're all here pretty early! So, how are things today? Several media outlets published those photos. Everyone's guessing who my girlfriend is, right?"

Kimura Hiroshi originally thought that even if these photos didn't capture Nakamori Akina and it couldn't be confirmed who his girlfriend was, many media outlets would still publish them. After all, he was a top idol, and given his poor relationship with the media, they would be very interested in exposing his relationship, which could potentially damage his popularity.

However, Yukio Tomioka, who was in charge of this matter, simply shook his head, tossed a not-so-famous entertainment newspaper to Hiroshi Kimura, and said, "Just this one, Kimura-san."

Picking up the not-so-famous entertainment newspaper, Kimura Hiroshi asked incredulously, "Only this one? No others?"

"There's only this one company, and the report they used was about you and a close friend of the opposite sex going to a real estate company to look at properties, saying that you two might have a shared interest in buying real estate," Yukio Tomioka said, somewhat surprised.

Normally, these media outlets would go to great lengths to be sarcastic and sarcastic towards Kimura Hiroshi, but when it comes to actually getting serious, they all fall silent. Didn't that paparazzi send the photos to these high-volume entertainment media outlets? That shouldn't be the case; these guys pay them well enough. How much money could these kinds of media outlets possibly pay?

Kimura Hiroshi stared blankly at the report in this obscure entertainment newspaper. It contained photos, but there wasn't a single word about his girlfriend. What was going on? Why didn't this newspaper dare to mention it? And why didn't other entertainment newspapers or magazines even mention it at all?

"What do we do now, Kimura-san? It seems like it hasn't attracted much attention. I'm afraid most people don't even know about this entertainment newspaper," Yukio Tomioka asked. The plan seemed to have failed from the start; the initial scoop had died in the womb.

Somewhat frustrated, but since the plan had already been decided, it couldn't be changed. Kimura Hiroshi stood up and said, "Let's just go for it. I'm going to the radio station to record a program. Let them pretend to block me at the station entrance and ask me the questions in this newspaper. I'll accidentally mention them. That's how it'll be done."

It seemed that this was the only way to do it, and Yukio Tomioka agreed. They immediately set off for the radio station to prepare for the release of their new single. After the recording of the program, they encountered reporters from several entertainment media outlets at the door.

Since we're all old friends, we naturally know what to do. First, we asked about the preparations for the new single, then about the plans for the next movie. We asked about everything that needed to be promoted so we could write the press release, and then we had some big revelations about personal matters.

"Other media outlets have reported that Kimura-san and a close friend went to look at real estate a few days ago. Is he considering buying property?" a reporter asked.

When he arrived, Kimura Hiroshi pretended to be a little flustered and spoke nervously, saying, "My girlfriend and I... are friends, we're just looking at properties, we have no intention of buying."

"Kimura-san, we just heard that it was his girlfriend, right? That guy you're close to is your girlfriend, right?" The reporters seemed to have grasped the key point and began to ask repeatedly.

At this moment, facing the cameras and video recorders, Hiroshi Kimura seemed a little anxious and said he was unwilling to give any more interviews. Then, his manager, Yukio Tomioka, and several assistants surrounded him and tried to leave.

Faced with so many reporters surrounding him, Kimura Hiroshi finally had to say, "Yes, I went with my girlfriend. I'm sorry for telling you this so late."

After saying this, he got into the car and then broke through the reporters surrounding him to leave.

This is truly a bombshell! The hottest male idol, Hiroshi Kimura, actually has a girlfriend. If this news gets out, I wonder how many girls who like him will be heartbroken.

That very evening, a television station broadcast the interview video, immediately causing a huge uproar. However, the real storm came the following day after several major entertainment media outlets published extensive reports on it.

"Top male idol admits to being in a relationship!"

"He went to look at real estate with his girlfriend," Kimura Hiroshi admitted himself!

"So many girls were heartbroken, but Hiroshi Kimura admits to the relationship!"

It's explosive! Coupled with last night's TV report, everyone knows that top male idol Hiroshi Kimura, who will turn nineteen this year, is in a relationship. The sales of several major media outlets, newspapers, and magazines that reported on this matter have skyrocketed because only they have revealed some inside information; other media outlets had no idea about this at all.

As for who benefited the most, it was the obscure entertainment newspaper that bought the photos of Yota Sato. They had the only photos that could be considered to be of Hiroshi Kimura's girlfriend, which none of the major media outlets had. Many people were eager to know what Hiroshi Kimura's girlfriend looked like, and for a time, their newspaper, which was published yesterday, was sold out and could not be bought on the market at all.

In the weekly magazine *Shukan Bunshun*, Takahashi Akifuku, looking at the reports from several media outlets, angrily threw all the newspapers on the ground and shouted, "Fake! They're all fake! It must be that Kimura kid's publicity stunt! That's it! I heard that kid is going to release a new single, so he's pulling this publicity stunt in advance!"

Despite saying this, Takahashi Akifuku felt like he was about to explode at the thought that he might have missed a super explosive piece of news, and that it was about that Kimura kid. He had been watching for so long, just waiting to take the photos and give this kid a good blow, but he didn't expect that he would miss those photos, and he didn't expect that the kid would admit it directly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He pulled out his phone book, searched for a while, and finally found the phone number of Sato Yota's residence, where he had delivered the photos the day before yesterday. He then called the number.

Unexpectedly, the other end answered quickly. Takahashi Akio didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Sato, do you still have photos of that Kimura kid? Did you take any photos of his girlfriend?"

At this moment, Yota Sato was furious. Two days ago, he sold those photos for 10,000 yen, but today they became the hottest entertainment news. Just now, a media outlet called him and said they were willing to pay 2 million yen for similar photos. In other words, he sold photos that might be worth 2 million yen for only 10,000 yen, missing a chance to make a fortune.

"No, Editor-in-Chief Takahashi, didn't you look down on those photos? Why did you call me? It's infuriating. Go find someone who can take good photos for you." With that, he angrily hung up the phone.

The editor-in-chief of the prestigious Weekly Bunshun was furious that a paparazzi reporter had hung up on him. Takahashi Akifuku was enraged. Thinking back to what had happened before, he felt dizzy with anger. This Kimura kid was really his nemesis; nothing good ever came of meeting him.

All the media outlets are in a frenzy. All they know is that Hiroshi Kimura is in a relationship, but they don't know who his girlfriend is, what she does, or how old she is. Everyone wants to be the first to know these things because knowing them means they can get the most exciting exclusive.
