The strategy of the other world of the love game

So this time, with the system giving him six months to make the move, Ryoma Ezaki chose to slowly build up the relationship first.

After all, if he used similar methods directly on Ruby Hoshino, when Ryoma Esaki found the murderer of Hoshino Ai and told Ruby Hoshino, Ruby Hoshino would probably go directly to the murderer and explode with him, shouting "Your Majesty Hoshino Ai, half a year!"

As for whether Ryoma Esaki can obtain Ruby Hoshino's body as he wishes, I am afraid that even if he does, it will not be possible to judge that the mission is successful.

So this time, Ryoma Ezaki must play the emotional card first.

The killer move of killing Hoshino Ai's murderer can only serve as an opportunity for Hoshino Ruby to willingly sacrifice her body after the two have an emotional foundation.

Seeing that Ryoma Ezaki didn't speak for a long time, Kurokawa Akane had no choice but to respond himself.

"Sure. The troupe doesn't have any new plays to perform recently, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to visit."

"Really? That's great..."

"No."

However, before Ruby Hoshino could be happy for even a second, Ryoma Ezaki suddenly refused.

Hoshino Ruby's expression froze, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"Why? Didn't Chiyin say we could go for a visit?"

"No, it just won't work."

Ryoma Ezaki tapped Ruby Hoshino's forehead and said.

"The first episode of the show is about to be aired, and the internet has already started to hype it up. As a public figure, you have to be a little self-aware."

"Think about it yourself. It's only the first season of the show and you were photographed going to our troupe, with Chi Yin and me. What would the audience think?"

"What else can I think? Isn't this kind of off-field gossip exactly what they want?"

Hoshino Ruby said.

"This kind of gossip that can help hype up the show, I guess the production team won't have time to think about it."

"Indeed it is."

However, Ryoma Esaki pointed out the blind spot.

"But is this what you want?"

Chapter 41: Kurokawa Akane's Challenge

How could Hoshino Ruby not understand after hearing such an obvious hint from Ryoma Ezaki?

These off-field gossips will easily increase her attention.

But she was still a little unconvinced and muttered.

"Ezaki-kun, isn't it too late for you to worry about being photographed by reporters? You've already taken Akane and I out for dinner."

"This is a public place, and it's not a very private public place. You can have many reasons to come here to eat."

Ryoma Esaki said, pointing at the restaurant.

"Besides, if I were to go out to eat alone with one of you, it might be even more of a problem."

"But the workplace is different. It is a private place to the outside world. If an unrelated person like you, Ruby, appears there, it will definitely attract the attention of reporters."

"You know, now even young artists don't squat in restaurants, because even if they get gossip, there's a lot of PR space, but it's far less profitable than squatting in hotels or artists' private homes."

"Even now, there are more reporters squatting in workplaces than in restaurants, because even if they can't get gossip about private life, they have the chance to get news about undisclosed business cooperation."

Ruby Hoshino knew nothing about the information that only senior people in the industry could access, and she couldn't refute a single word that Ryoshin Ezaki said.

But she just wouldn't accept it. She pouted her lips, frowned, and stared at Ryoma Ezaki with an unhappy look on her face.

Seeing this, Ryoma Ezaki smiled helplessly and raised his hand to rub Hoshino Ruby's head.

"Okay, you can go back today. After the recording of the show is finished, I will personally invite you to visit the troupe."

"I'll go shopping with you then. We can go wherever you want and shop for as long as you want. How about that?"

"This is what you said, it's final!"

Only then did Hoshino Ruby smile again.

In fact, she didn't have to go to the troupe today, but the little girl didn't want Ryoma Ezaki to reject her so simply.

After making this promise, her mood immediately brightened, she was no longer stubborn, and turned away happily.

Kurokawa Akane, who was standing by, watched the interaction between the two with a thoughtful expression.

After watching Ruby Hoshino leave, Ryoma Ezaki turned and said to Akane Kurokawa.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

"Ah."

Kurokawa Akane responded and silently left with Ezaki Ryoma.

I took the bus back to the theater and handled my daily affairs as usual. The sky was already filled with red clouds.

Ryoma Ezaki stretched, packed his things, left the theater and prepared to go home.

At the door, he met Kurokawa Akane who had been waiting there.

"What's wrong Chiyin, do you have anything else to deal with?"

Ryoma Esaki took the initiative to greet him.

Kurokawa Akane shook his head and looked at Ezaki Ryoma, meeting his eyes.

"Ezaki-kun, I'm waiting for you."

"Wait for me?"

Ryoma Esaki pretended to be surprised.

"Ah."

Kurokawa Akane bit his lip, as if he had come to some realization, and spoke.

"Ezaki-kun, do you remember what you said to me before we started recording the show?"

"Yeah, of course."

Ryoma Esaki said bluntly.

"I told you not to hang around me on the show. You won't feel the feeling of love this way."

"And I will also be more proactive in reaching out to other members."

"But Ezaki-kun, you are wrong."

Kurokawa Akane's tone became sharper.

"After this week of recording, I've realized that even if I don't revolve around you, I can't feel the feeling of love from the other members."

"You can even say that I can only get the feeling of love from you."

Ryoma Ezaki's eyes changed slightly.

If Kurokawa Akane confessed to him at this time, things would become a little troublesome.

First of all, he definitely wouldn't agree. After all, he was going to flirt with Ruby Hoshino on the show, and he was going to take over Ruby Hoshino's body after the show.

But if he directly refuses, it is difficult to guarantee what Kurokawa Akane will do on the show.

"So, what do you want to say?"

Ryoma Esaki tried to make his tone sound as cold as possible, hoping that this would make Kurokawa Akane give up.

Kurokawa Akane took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say.

"I want to say, Ezaki-kun, I refuse."

"reject?"

"Yes, I reject your proposal."

Kurokawa Akane said in an extremely firm tone.

"I was not able to respond to you directly last time, so I just gave you a vague answer."

"But now, I want to formally reject your proposal."

"After watching the show this week, I understand one thing: if I have to find someone to date on the show, there is only one person to choose."

Kurokawa Akane looked at Esaki Ryoma and said something that was almost a confession.

"Ezaki-kun, that person is you."

"So, I've figured it out. If I want to have a role in the show, it can only be with you."

"But you are so cunning, Ezaki-kun. You prevented me from contacting you before the recording of the show started."

"But I don't want to go on like this. I'm not willing to not have any performance on the show."

"So, I must reject your proposal directly."

There was a thoughtful look in Ryoma Esaki's eyes.

The situation was better than the worst case scenario he had imagined, but not much better.

What Ryoma Esaki is worried about is that after he rejects Akane Kurokawa, what Akane Kurokawa will do on or off the show will be an uncontrollable factor.

And now, Kurokawa Akane has essentially said in front of him that she is going to cause trouble on the show.

This is her "crime" preview and also a declaration of war.

——Okay, then I accept your challenge.

Jiang Qiliangzhen said in his heart.

"Of course you can reject my proposal. After all, my proposal does not impose any binding force on you, does it?"

Ryosaki Esaki smiled.

"I said that that day just to bring up my plan to approach other girls."

"Like you said, it's my freedom to approach any girl I want, and it's your freedom to approach any boy you want."

"Of course, this group of boys includes me."

Hearing what Ryoma Ezaki said, Kurokawa Akane finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted her chest with a look of relief.

"That's great. I thought you, Ezaki-kun, would think I was too clingy and hate me for it."

"How could that be? Rather, I am happy for you that you can speak out your thoughts."

Ryoma Esaki said sincerely.

This statement is actually true, because Kurokawa Akane is the kind of person who will keep things in her heart until they become twisted. Speaking them out will greatly reduce her instability.

“Is… is it?”

Kurokawa Akane's face turned slightly red.

"Then Jiang Qijun, the next time I record the show, I will face you with a brand new look."

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Kurokawa Akane's expression became much more relaxed.

She said with a faint smile on her face.

"When the time comes, I'll ask you and Ruby to give me your guidance!"

Chapter 42 People’s joys and sorrows are not the same

The next day, Monday.

The students returned to school and the second episode of the program officially began recording.

Before the filming officially started, the director called the six members together and briefly explained the recording arrangements for the second episode.

To sum it up in two words: change.

The director team asked the six members to make as many changes as possible in the second episode to add new highlights to the show.

Continuously producing new content to maintain freshness is an important way for variety shows to maintain their popularity.
