The strategy of the other world of the love game

Nobuyuki Kumano smiled and took the opportunity to make a subtle invitation.

Moreover, inviting someone to dinner is obviously an invitation outside of the recording program, and the purpose is self-evident.

"Some other day? Ah~, what I know is that empty day that only exists in people's mouths, right?"

MEM waved his hands and complained, as if he didn't take Nobuyuki Kumano's invitation seriously.

"How could that be? I'm serious. You can decide the date, MEM."

Nobuyuki Kumano was innocent enough that he didn't notice the hidden meaning in MEM's words at all. Instead, he invited her again more seriously.

MEM啾 looked at Nobuyuki Kumano meaningfully and waved her hand.

"Forget it. I'm not inviting you to dinner because I don't want you to treat me back."

"Besides, even if someone wants to treat me back, it should be the person who made me bleed so much tonight, right?"

As she spoke, MEM glanced at Ryoma Ezaki.

But Ryoma Ezaki blinked innocently.

"The one who made you bleed so much? Wasn't that you? After all, it was you who told us to order whatever we wanted."

"Oh, yes, yes! It's all my fault!"

MEM waved his hand and left the crowd first.

"I'm tired, so I'll go home first. You guys should go home early too, and don't stay out too late."

As he spoke, MEM啾 walked further and further away and disappeared into the night street.

"Ruby, can you go home by yourself?"

At this time, Ryoma Esaki turned to Ruby Hoshino and said the first words of the night.

"Eh? Uh... yeah, sure."

Hoshino Ruby responded subconsciously.

What else could I say if I didn't want to? Should I pretend that I couldn't go back and let Jiang Qiliangma take me home?

She couldn't do that kind of green tea thing.

She also didn't want to rely on such cheap means to gain Ryoma Ezaki's company.

Chapter 29 That's right! I am a mother-obsessed person! (Update )

"Ezaki-kun, I have to go back to the troupe to get some things. Do you want to come with me?"

While Ruby Hoshino was answering, Akane Kurokawa took the initiative to invite Ryoma Esaki.

"Sure, I'll go back and see if there's anything I missed in the troupe."

Ryosaki Ezaki responded.

What he said was equivalent to saying, I have nothing to do when I go back, but if you invite me, I will go with you.

Seeing that Ryoma Esaki so decisively accepted Kurokawa Akane's invitation, Ruby Hoshino felt even more uncomfortable.

"See you tomorrow then, Ruby."

Ryoma Esaki turned around and said goodbye to Ruby Hoshino. Akane Kurokawa also leaned his head out from beside him and waved gently to Ruby Hoshino.

Although Kurokawa Akane himself did not have any ill intentions, to Ruby Hoshino, this scene seemed like a demonstration against her.

But she didn't show anything unusual. She forced herself to cheer up, smiled and waved to the two of them, then turned around and walked into the night alone.

It had been more than ten years since her mother's death, and Ruby Hoshino thought she had gotten used to being alone.

But today's night wind seems particularly cold.

After Ruby Hoshino left, Ryoma Esaki and Akane Kurokawa also left quickly.

However, Nobuyuki Kumano and Kengo Morimoto stayed at the door of the store for a while.

"Am I... dumped?"

Nobuyuki Kumano looked in the direction where MEM啾 left, his tone dejected.

He has always lived under the halo since he was a child, and he is the only one who refuses invitations and confessions from other girls.

He had never been rejected so decisively by a girl like today.

He was the only one who had found true love in the original work, but now he is the first one to suffer emotional pain.

Kengo Morimoto looked at Nobuyuki Kumano, who had a lonely face, and suddenly made a very sharp complaint.

"Oh Xin, you do have an Oedipus complex, don't you?"

"Pfft! Kengo...what are you talking about?"

Nobuyuki Kumano almost choked himself to death on his saliva.

"Isn't it? You've been with MEM for so long, but I didn't see you caring about her that much."

Kengo Morimoto, however, was analyzing seriously.

"Ever since I reminded you that she is more mature than the rest of us, your attitude towards MEM啾 has suddenly changed. The tone you use when talking to her and the facial expressions you use when you are with her have all changed significantly."

"Comparing the before and after, I can only come to this conclusion."

"Ah Xin, you like women who are more mature than you."

"Liking more mature women doesn't mean you have a mother complex, right? You better apologize to all the older and older sister-obsessed people in the world!"

Morimoto Kengo ignored him and continued his analysis.

"In addition, after your attitude towards MEM啾 changed, whenever MEM啾 made an act to take care of you, your reaction would be unusually exaggerated and obvious, and the look you gave MEM啾 would become especially warm."

"From this I gather that you not only like more mature women, but also women who are good at taking care of people."

“More mature, good at taking care of people, and perfectly fits the stereotype of a matriarch.”

"You still say you're not a mother-obsessed man?"

Morimoto Kengo's words were so decisive that Kumano Nobuyuki was defeated and speechless.

"Ahahaha...your analysis makes so much sense that I almost believed it myself."

Nobuyuki Kumano scratched his head and laughed, trying to get away with it by playing dumb.

However, Kengo Morimoto just stared at him expressionlessly, his calm eyes seemed to have seen through him.

Being stared at like this by Kengo Morimoto, Nobuyuki Kumano felt more and more guilty.

Finally, he lowered his head and said dejectedly.

"…Is it really that obvious?"

"I don't know, but I think MEM-chu should have seen it a long time ago."

Kengo Morimoto said very honestly.

"Hmm! So MEM-chan's refusal just now wasn't just a refusal of my invitation to treat her to a meal?"

Nobuyuki Kumano covered his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken.

"Well, although it's not nice to say this while the show is still being recorded, but, give up your fantasy."

Kengo Morimoto.

The reason why he chose to suddenly and forcefully point this out here was actually out of consideration for the show.

It would be fine if a couple fell in love with each other during the recording of the program, and their interaction could even add a lot of color to the program.

However, Nobuyuki Kumano's unrequited love, which has already been rejected, is a big hidden danger to the recording of the next program.

Because of the program recording, MEM啾 certainly could not decisively refuse Nobuyuki Kumano in front of the camera.

If Nobuyuki Kumano still has hope and keeps pestering MEM啾 on the show because MEM啾 cannot be refused, the rhythm of the show is likely to get out of control.

What’s even more frightening is that if this situation really happens, the program team probably won’t stop it.

Because this kind of emotional entanglement is excellent material for them.

But for MEM啾 and Nobuyuki Kumano personally, that is not a good thing.

First of all, the fans of the two people are likely to quarrel with each other, attack each other and intensify the conflict.

At that time, the relationship between the two of them will inevitably be affected, and an unhealable rift will be created.

However, Nobuyuki Kumano is a straightforward person who acts according to his heart. It is hard to say whether he can cheer up after suffering a blow in both his career and love.

Kengo Morimoto didn't want to see that situation happen.

They were both good people and neither deserved what happened to them.

So, instead of waiting for things to develop in an uncontrollable direction, it is better to reveal everything as soon as possible.

Of course, he didn't really think that Nobuyuki Kumano was a "mother-loving person". He just wanted to use this exaggerated way to deconstruct Nobuyuki Kumano's feelings for MEM啾.

This made Nobuyuki Kumano feel that he didn't really like MEM-Chu, but that he had a liking for her because of his "Oedipus complex".

This may make Nobuyuki Kumano feel better.

This is Kengo Morimoto's own unique gentleness.

"Well, since you've already seen through it, I won't pretend anymore!"

At this point, Nobuyuki Kumano suddenly became emotional.

"Yes, I do have an Oedipus complex! I just like mature and caring girls!"

Nobuyuki Kumano's "Declaration of Independence" immediately attracted the attention of many customers coming in and out of the store.

Before Nobuyuki Kumano felt shy, Kengo Morimoto next to him began to feel embarrassed.

"But Kengo, you only need to know about this. Don't tell anyone else, especially MEM-chan. Please!"

As he spoke, Nobuyuki Kumano clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Kengo Morimoto.

——Didn’t you just shout it out yourself? Why do you want me to keep it a secret?

Kengo Morimoto complained in his heart.

"...I understand, but the prerequisite is that you have to treat me to a meal."

"No problem! If MEM-chan doesn't want to eat the meal, I'll treat you to it!"

"Don't make it sound like I'm eating someone else's leftovers, okay?!"

Chapter 30 The Precious Thing in Your Hands

"Dingle bell~! Dingle bell~!"

The moment the alarm rang, Ruby Hoshino opened her eyes.

She reached for her cell phone and turned off the alarm, but did not take a nap as usual.

It is now 8:30 in the morning, which is obviously a bit early for a weekend.

But Ruby Hoshino was not sleepy at all.

Because at 10 o'clock in the morning, the program team will have to do some reshoots.

Including the time she had to arrive early, she had to leave at nine o'clock.

Of course, these are not the fundamental reasons why she gets up so actively.

Hoshino Lubi got up, changed her clothes, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went back to the dressing mirror in her room and started dressing herself.

She picked up the foundation and covered the faint dark circles under her eyes.

Lipstick, eye shadow, contact lenses, blush.

As her makeup gradually improved, Ruby Hoshino in the mirror became more and more dazzling.

"Ruby! Hurry up and get up, you have to go to the show today!"

Just when Hoshino Ruby finished dressing up, Saito Kyoko suddenly rushed into her room and shouted anxiously.

But when she saw the empty and tidy bed, and Ruby Hoshino who had already finished dressing up, Kyoko Saito looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Ruby, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
