The strategy of the other world of the love game

In just one morning, MEM啾 and three other members finished filming their scenes.

The afternoon was all about Ryoma Esaki and Akane Kurokawa.

At noon, Ryoma Ezaki suddenly found the program crew and discussed something with them.

Then, before the official filming started in the afternoon, the program crew called Kurokawa Akane again and told her that she didn't need to follow their requirements and could just perform freely as she did in any other recordings.

Akane Kurokawa didn't understand why the crew suddenly changed their minds, but as a useful actor, her greatest advantage is that she is obedient.

So, after the filming started in the afternoon, she was ready to perform freely according to the crew's requirements.

But for some reason, Ryoma Ezaki disappeared, leaving her sitting alone in the school's small garden.

Even though she can perform freely, she can't perform a one-man show.

Just as she was hesitating whether to go looking for Ryoma Ezaki, suddenly, Ryoma Ezaki walked towards her slowly along a cobblestone path outside the garden.

"Ezaki-kun..."

Kurokawa Akane stood up to greet him, but the scene of him kissing Hoshino Ruby flashed through her mind, and she hesitated again.

At this time, she finally felt confused. After that kiss, the last episode of the show must be centered on the CP of Ryoma Esaki and Ruby Hoshino. Why did she and Ryoma Esaki have to shoot a segment freely?

Did he want to capture himself looking like a loser showing his true feelings?

That's too vicious!

This made Kurokawa Akane feel a little aggrieved.

Moreover, she also saw Ryoma Ezaki chatting with the people from the program crew, and after the chat, the program crew changed the arrangement to allow her to perform freely.

Unless you are stupid, you can definitely guess that it was Ryouma Ezaki's idea.

So, does Ezaki-kun feel that he didn't act aggrieved or sad enough, and wanted to take a few more photos of his reaction after losing to Ruby Hoshino?

Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but guess this.

His mind was in a mess, and looking at the approaching Ryoma Ezaki, Kurokawa Akane didn't know how to react.

Should I act like a loser as Ryosuke Ezaki really wishes?

The show, Ryoma Esaki, his own heart, and Akane Kurokawa are wavering between these three.

While she was hesitating, Ryoma Esaki had already come to her.

Then, without waiting for Kurokawa Akane to react, Ryoma Esaki suddenly reached out and held her in his arms.

Then, he lifted Kurokawa Akane's chin with his other hand and kissed her lips.

Kurokawa Akane's eyes widened and his mind went blank.

Her processor, whose analytical capabilities were comparable to those of an i9 13900KS, was completely unable to guess Ryouma Ezaki's intentions at this moment, and it was simply smoking.

Having lost his mind, Kurokawa Akane was left with only instinct.

He instinctively catered to Ryoma Ezaki and instinctively followed the rhythm led by Ryoma Ezaki.

How could a young girl like Kurokawa Akane resist the kissing skills of Ryoma Ezaki? Within a few seconds, the shock and confusion on her face disappeared completely.

What's left is the look of a young girl in love.

To the audience who didn't know the inside story, this scene looked like a completely romantic confession kiss.

As a veteran, Ryoma Ezaki knows how to manage time better than Ruby Hoshino.

So, before Kurokawa Akane felt difficulty breathing, he released Kurokawa Akane's lips.

Looking at Kurokawa Akane, whose face was flushed and she was at a loss in his arms, Ryoma Ezaki gave her some time to sort out her emotions before speaking.

"Okay, Akane, we have a lot of other scenes to reshoot."

"I'll explain your confusion later, okay?"

"......Um."

Kurokawa Akane nodded obediently, put aside his doubts for the time being, and cooperated with the program crew and Ryoma Esaki to reshoot the necessary shots.

After the filming was over, Ryoma Esaki took the initiative to invite her back to the troupe.

Kurokawa Akane naturally would not refuse, and the two of them took a taxi back together.

Along the way, Ryoma Ezaki didn't say a word.

Although Kurokawa Akane had a lot of questions that needed answers from Ezaki Ryoma, he could only keep them to himself for the time being.

It was not until they returned to the theater and Ryoma Ezaki took her to the theater's archives and took out a photo album that he finally spoke his first words.

"Chiyin, do you remember when the third episode was broadcast, you said you wanted to thank me?"

"Yes, of course I remember."

Kurokawa Akane nodded, but when she offered to thank Ryoma Esaki, Ryoma Esaki declined.

"Now, it's time for you to repay me."

Ryoma Esaki handed the photo album in his hand to Akane Kurokawa and said solemnly.

"I need your help."

Then, Ryoma Esaki told Akane Kurokawa what he wanted to investigate in the shortest possible words.

He did not hide the fact that Ruby Hoshino was Ai's child, because he knew that once Akane Kurokawa started investigating the matter, it would be impossible to hide it.

In the original work, Kurokawa Akane investigated the matter himself based on some clues.

Even if Ryoma Esaki didn't say it, it was only a matter of time before the fact that Ruby Hoshino was his beloved daughter was revealed to Akane Kurokawa.

Therefore, in order to find the murderer as soon as possible and complete the transaction, Ryoma Ezaki chose to tell all the clues he knew to Akane Kurokawa.

"In other words, the murderer who killed Ruby's mother is someone in this album?"

Kurokawa Akane asked as he flipped through the photo album.

"Yes, that's for sure."

Ryoma Esaki said.

"Hoshino Ai came to the troupe just before she became pregnant, and she left the stage soon after due to health reasons. It is not difficult to guess from the time."

"But there are no other clues for the time being, so I hope you can use your deductive profiling ability to find the real murderer through Hoshino Ai's life."

Ryoma Esaki held Kurokawa Akane's shoulders and begged.

"Just think it's for me, okay?"

"Well, I'll try my best!"

Kurokawa Akane nodded.

However, she actually knew in her heart that Ryoma Ezaki was just using her.

What do you mean just do it for him? Then isn't he investigating this matter also for Ruby Hoshino?

However, if they want me to help with the investigation, then the fact that I was saved by Ryoma Ezaki is enough of a reason.

But why did Ezaki-kun kiss himself on the show?

Kurokawa Akane touched his lips.

Was that kiss just to buy me off?

Or... is it that he doesn't want to be a screen couple with Ruby?

Kurokawa Akane's analytical ability is indeed terrifying. He only needed to slightly put himself in Ryoma Esaki's perspective and make a rough guess about Ryoma Esaki's intentions.

Ryosaki Ezaki's judgment was correct. It was futile to hide the relationship between Ruby Hoshino and Ai from Akane Kurokawa.

A direct confession would actually make it easier for her to flex her muscles.

-----------------

Let’s go back to Wednesday.

At the bridgehead of a cross-river bridge, Ryosuke Ezaki leaned on the railing, admiring the night view of the river.

The luxurious Tokyo was reflected in the river, easily torn apart by the waves and turned into spots of light.

The night wind blowing from the side and rear suddenly weakened a lot. Ryoma Ezaki tilted his head slightly and said.

"You came."

"Ezaki-kun, what do you mean?"

There was reluctance, confusion, and anger in Hoshino Ruby's tone.

But more of it is panic.

"I have shown you my awareness as promised. As long as we become a screen couple, you won't have to worry about me going back on my word after my revenge, right?"

Before making the decision, Ruby Hoshino had thought a lot. Although this kiss would end her idol career, she gained more.

She can avenge her mother, or she can possess Ryoma Ezaki.

So, despite her reluctance and the extreme difficulty, she still made the decision.

But now, in the program being broadcast, the couple is Ryoma Esaki and Akane Kurokawa.

Although there is some beautification in the program, in this episode, Ryoma Esaki and Akane Kurokawa are so sweet and so well-matched, they are simply a perfect match that makes others envious.

Now the internet is going crazy with the news that this show was created specifically to promote the pair of Ryoma Esaki and Akane Kurokawa, and even a staff member from the LALALAI troupe to which the two belonged confirmed this anonymously.

After all, this was indeed the original purpose of the troupe.

This kind of atmosphere where everyone hoped that Ryoma Ezaki and Akane Kurokawa would be together and everyone was blessing them made Hoshino Ruby feel extremely lonely all of a sudden.

Just a few days ago, Ryoma Ezaki was willing to risk his life to help her get revenge, but in the blink of an eye, he became a couple with another woman.

Although Ruby Hoshino knew that Ryoma Ezaki must have his own reasons, she still couldn't help feeling abandoned.

So, even though she had already vaguely guessed the reason in her heart, she still needed Ryoma Ezaki to tell her in person.

This way, she can feel at ease.

"Ruby, I have indeed sensed your awakening."

Ryoma Esaki looked into Ruby Hoshino's eyes and spoke seriously.

“So, I think that’s enough and you don’t have to pay more.”

"If, as you said, we become a screen couple, your idol career will be ruined, right?"

"I don't want that. I'm still looking forward to you shining brightly on the stage and letting the whole of Japan see your brilliance."

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward, reached out and gently stroked Hoshino Ruby's long golden hair, and his tone became somewhat ambiguous.

"When I think about the fact that you, who are admired by so many people, are actually my girl, I can't help but get excited."

Hoshino Ruby's cheeks blushed slightly, and she rolled her pretty eyes and gave Ezaki Ryoma a look.

"abnormal."

After being scolded by Ruby Hoshino, Ryoma Ezaki became even more aggressive and put his arms around Ruby Hoshino's slender waist.

Then, he exerted a little force with his arms and pulled Hoshino Ruby into his arms.

"If I am a pervert, then aren't you also a little pervert for kissing a pervert like me in front of so many people?"

"I'm just a poor little girl who was threatened by a pervert."

Hoshino Ruby puffed her cheeks and said stubbornly.

Ryoma Ezaki looked at Ruby Hoshino with a smile for a long time before asking softly.

"Are you relieved now?"

"What do you mean?"

Hoshino Ruby played dumb.

"You can obviously guess my purpose. You came to me for confirmation just because there is a lot of hype about me and Kurokawa Akane on the Internet. So you feel a little uneasy and wronged, right?"

"I just saw a boy who forced someone to kiss him turn around and kiss another girl, so I came here to question him."

Hoshino Ruby said stubbornly.

"I didn't force you to kiss me. I just wanted you to prove your awareness with actual actions."

Ryoma Ezaki blinked innocently.
