The strategy of the other world of the love game

But given his personality, a 20% chance of failure is already difficult to accept.

After all, the result of winning is that he can capture Ruby Hoshino as originally planned and gain the lifespan he deserves.

But once he loses, it is still unknown how much more time he will need.

Compared with the consequences of losing and winning, an 80% chance of winning does not seem that high.

After the conversation in the classroom stopped, Ryoma Ezaki waited for a few more minutes before opening the door.

"Oh? Why did you come so early today?"

Seeing the two girls in the classroom, Ryoma Ezaki pretended to be surprised.

The two looked at each other and remained silent.

After the brief conversation just now, they already knew that the other party came so early today because of Ryoma Ezaki.

Of course they were too embarrassed to tell the truth, but they also didn't want to lie to each other in front of each other who knew the fact.

Therefore, silence became their only correct answer.

But there is another reason for them to remain silent.

That is, they wanted to see who Ryoma Ezaki would talk to first.

Before this, Ryoma Esaki's attitude towards the two was very clear.

During the recording of the show, he took the initiative towards Ruby Hoshino, and after the show, he became close to Akane Kurokawa from the same troupe.

And now, we are on the set of recording the show, but the recording has not officially started yet.

Theoretically, it doesn't matter which side you choose.

Therefore, Ryoma Ezaki's attitude towards the two of them at this time can explain a lot of things.

While the two girls were anxiously waiting for Ryoma Ezaki's answer, Ryoma Ezaki had already made up his mind.

He did not forget who his target was.

"By the way, Ruby, this is the first time I've seen you on the set so early."

With a smile on his face, Ryoma Ezaki walked towards Ruby Hoshino.

“And it was also the first time we met in the morning, so it felt quite magical.”

"What's so amazing about that? Do I look different in the morning and afternoon?"

Seeing that Ryoma Ezaki chose to talk to her, Hoshino Ruby's tone became much more excited.

"On the contrary, it's more rare for you, Ezaki-kun, to take the initiative to talk to me off camera, right?"

As she said this, she glanced at Kurokawa Akane beside her with a hint of complacency.

This was her protest against Akane Kurokawa.

"It's still working time even if there's no camera time. Let's get into the right state in advance."

Ryoma Esaki smiled slightly.

"Before I start performing in the troupe, I will also read the script backstage to get into the role. Chi Yin can testify to this."

"Eh?"

When suddenly mentioned by Ryoma Ezaki, Kurokawa Akane, who was originally feeling depressed because he was not chosen, was stunned for a moment and quickly responded.

"Yes, Ezaki-kun is very serious. He will check the lines repeatedly before each official performance and rehearse with other actors."

"I remember that once when we were acting in a drama set in the shogunate, Mr. Ezaki dragged me to practice fighting scenes, and ended up breaking the prop knife. We were scolded by the troupe leader for that."

"Fortunately, we found a replacement in the end, so we didn't delay the performance the next day."

"Hey! Chiyin, I asked you to help prove my professionalism. Please don't tell anyone about this embarrassing thing."

Ryoma Esaki said in mock anger.

"I don't think it's shameful. Doesn't this show that you are serious enough?"

Kurokawa Akane chuckled.

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to Ryoma Ezaki's private life, and the side that she didn't know, Hoshino Ruby's mood, which had just been excited because Ryoma Ezaki spoke to her first, instantly dropped again.

With just two simple sentences, Ryoma Esaki made Hoshino Ruby and Kurokawa Akane's moods go on a roller coaster ride.

"Eh~... So you're such a serious person, Ezaki-kun? That's great."

Hoshino Ruby's tone became somewhat sarcastic.

"But if you're so serious, why didn't you come to me to rehearse your scenes beforehand when you were recording 'Now Love'?"

Ruby Hoshino regretted saying this as soon as she said it, because the deal between her and Ryoma Ezaki was that Ryoma Ezaki could contact her at will on the show. This was the condition she agreed to and the bargaining chip she paid.

Now that I say this again, doesn't it seem like she is going back on her word?

It was clearly me who proposed the conditions, but now I am blaming Ezaki-kun.

He must think that he is an unreasonable girl.

"I'm afraid of wasting your time, so I try not to disturb you outside of the show."

However, Ryoma Esaki didn't care about this at all, and instead took the opportunity to extend an invitation.

"If you're willing, Ruby, we can also talk about the show after the recording is over or during our break."

After hearing what Ryoma Ezaki said, Ruby Hoshino's mood instantly brightened.

"Really? How about tomorrow?"

She bit her lip, trying to suppress the laughter that was coming out of her, and tried to make her tone sound as calm as possible.

"It just so happens that today's first episode recording has officially ended. How about we meet up somewhere to talk about the second episode?"

Chapter 34: Tie Again

Now it was Kurokawa Akane's turn to panic.

Originally, the time when Ryoma Esaki was recording the show belonged to Ruby Hoshino, but the time outside of the recording belonged to her.

And now, the time that belongs to her has begun to be invaded by Ruby Hoshino.

Moreover, Ryoma Esaki did not always stay with her outside of the recording of the show. In fact, after the recording of the show started, the time they spent together had been greatly reduced.

The actual time she could spend with Ryoma Ezaki every day might not exceed twenty minutes if she didn't try hard enough.

But it's different for Ruby Hoshino. When recording the show, the two of them stay together almost 90% of the time.

And they were always alone together.

But Ruby Hoshino was still not satisfied and reached out her hand to herself.

What made Kurokawa Akane even more uncomfortable was that she couldn't even fight back.

She had no reason and no position to stop Ryoma Ezaki and Ruby Hoshino from meeting.

She could only hope that Ryoma Ezaki would reject Ruby Hoshino.

But......

"Okay, I'll be happy to accompany you."

Ryoma Esaki agreed without hesitation.

He took out his mobile phone and opened "HOT PEPPER" (a Japanese software similar to Meituan or Dianping).

"So where are we going later? Have a meal? Or should we just find a cafe and sit down? Decide early so I can reserve a seat in advance."

"You decide, I can do it."

Hoshino Ruby said, casting a look at Kurokawa Akane who was standing beside her.

That was a declaration of victory.

But before she could show off for two seconds, she heard Ryosama Ezaki say.

"Then Chiyin, do you want to join us?"

Ryoma Esaki turned to look at Akane Kurokawa and asked.

"I see you haven't been very active this whole episode. Why don't you discuss it with us? Maybe it can be helpful for the next episode."

"Eh? Me...me?"

Kurokawa Akane's eyes looked somewhat incredulous.

"Can I...can I come too?"

"Of course, we were discussing the show, it's not anything very private."

Ryoma Esaki said as if it was a matter of course.

"Besides, you are also a member of the show, so of course you can come."

"I'm going!"

Kurokawa Akane stopped hesitating and raised his hand high as if answering a question in class.

Correspondingly, Ruby Hoshino's face also turned darker.

"Okay, then it's decided."

As Ryoma Ezaki said this, he began to browse the software, looking for a suitable store.

"In that case, how about calling MEM啾 and the others as well? It would be a good opportunity for us to discuss this together."

"Goodbye, huh? How would that be any different from yesterday's dinner?"

Hoshino Ruby hurriedly stopped him.

She was already very unhappy that Ryoma Ezaki had invited Akane Kurokawa on his own initiative. If he invited everyone, what would be the point of the appointment after the recording of the show?

"I also think we should stop calling them that. MEM and Kumano Morimoto are a team. I think it would be better for them to discuss their future direction among themselves."

Kurokawa Akane also advised gently.

"Well, since you all said so, then don't shout."

Ryoma Ezaki didn't insist.

"Then how about going to this restaurant? The environment is nice and there are private rooms. We don't have to worry about being disturbed by others."

"You decide, I don't care."

"As long as you think it's appropriate, Ezaki-kun."

The two women responded in unison.

Although the meaning is the same, the different tones highlight the different moods of the two people.

But overall, Rubi Hoshino unexpectedly "invaded" Ryoma Esaki's daily life after the show was recorded, and Akane Kurokawa was not completely abandoned by Ryoma Esaki.

The two of them still managed to tie with a slight difference.

If one of the two had rich emotional experience, he would probably have begun to doubt whether Jiang Qiliang really intended to take control.

It's a pity that the gap between their ranks and Ryoma Ezaki's is too big, and they are easily defeated by Ryoma Ezaki. They only have their eyes on competing with each other, and don't even suspect Ryoma Ezaki.

Ryoma Ezaki booked a restaurant and chatted with the two girls equally.

MEM啾 and the other two boys also arrived one after another, and the program officially began recording.

However, the program team soon discovered something unusual.

The relationship between these six people seems to have undergone subtle changes.

Among the originally inseparable MEM-啾 trio, Nobuyuki Kumano seems to have developed a sense of alienation from MEM-啾, the core member.

He is no longer so active in responding to MEM啾, and more often than not he is more of a passive responder.

At the same time, he seemed to be closer to Kengo Morimoto, who was also a boy.

The changes on the other side are even more obvious. Originally, Ryoma Ezaki and Ruby Hoshino were the two people who could not be shaken, while Akane Kurokawa had been wandering on the edge.

But now, Kurokawa Akane has actively inserted himself between the two of them.

This made all the directors and producers in the program team very confused.

It's only been one night, how come such a big change has happened?
