Tokyo bubble life

From the time he drove the dark blue AE86 to his hometown in Shizuoka, Nagayama Naoki knew that Akina couldn't drive this car because it attracted too many people's attention.

Residents of the seaside town followed the car with their eyes as it passed by, and some young men could not take their eyes off it.

"It looks like this car can no longer meet the demand of being inconspicuous." Nagayama Naoki curled his lips. Modifications that are too personalized are not very good. "It looks like I need to replace it with another one for Akina."

After such thoughts flashed through his head, Nagayama Naoki stopped next to his hometown.

"I'm back~"

Nagayama Naoki opened the door, but no one responded inside. Looking around, there was only a fat orange cat lying down and resting in the cool shade of a tree.

"Nyaotaro?"

Nagayama Naoki walked over, but the fat cat just turned his head and glanced, not even wanting to move.

He put his hands around the two forelimbs of the cat and lifted it up. The whole cat suddenly turned into a thick "cat strip", which was already a bit heavy on the hand.

"Nyaotaro, how many pounds have you gained!!!"

"Meow~" The fat cat returned a look of contempt, then turned away, not wanting to pay attention to his master.

"Do you want to be Garfield?!"

Nagayama Naoki became angry and rubbed the fat cat hard. "When you return to Tokyo, you must lose weight! If you don't lose half of your weight, I won't give you catnip!"

Seemingly seeing Meowtaro sigh humanely

The interpersonal relationships in the small town are very close. After learning from a neighbor that his mother took the dog to his eldest brother's house not far away, Naoki Nagayama went there carrying gifts, and happened to bring some toys for Weeda. .

The house that was built half a year ago still has some of the "fire" unique to new construction, and has not been tempered by time and wind and rain, just like the old houses nearby.

Before Nagayama Naoki entered the courtyard, he heard excited shouts from the room inside. After opening the courtyard door, he saw a white thing rushing over, screaming non-stop.

"Yutaro" Nagayama Naoki looked at the Labrador pig in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "It really turned out like this!"

At this time, Tailang was wagging his tail crazily and running around beside his master.

Then I heard the cry of a child from inside the room, and then the door opened, and mother Nanako came out:

"Naoki?! Why are you here!"

"I came from my hometown to see the weeds." Nagayama Naoki explained as he walked into the house and brought the gift in his hand, "This is a toy for the weeds. Uh, what happened to the weeds? "

In the living room, Weeda, who was crying loudly, was held in the arms of Nozaki Kōka and coaxed, and her little hand was still stretched out towards Nagayama Naoki.

"Ah, just now Yintaro suddenly ran away, and Weeda was crying." Mother Nanako reached out and pinched Yintaro's neck, dragged the dog towards Weeda, and pressed it on the soft cushion, "Now "Yutaro is a toy for weeds"

The dog came back again, and the weeds stopped crying and climbed up the white fleshy mounds again. The fleshy little hands pinched the dog's body, and even reached into Taro Taro's mouth.

Looking at Yotaro, who wanted to resist but didn't dare to move at all, and looked this way with aggrieved eyes, Naoki Nagayama moved his eyes unnaturally.

Taro Ying, I can’t save you this time!

"Sister Xiangjia~" Naoki Nagayama greeted.

"Did Naoki come from Tokyo?" After taking the gift, Nozaki Kōka served lemonade and entertained her husband's brother warmly.

"Well, the shooting mission is almost over, so I came back and took a look at my home." Naoki Nagayama hasn't said anything about taking the cats and dogs back.

"New movie? When will it be released?"

"About mid-September."

"."

During the daily chat, Nozaki Kaka and her mother Nanako talked about some current changes, big and small things at home, the health of weeds, etc. Naoki Nagayama revealed some interesting gossips in the entertainment industry, which was very enjoyable~

When talking about being happy, her mother Nanako asked:

"Naoki, do you want to stay for dinner today? We haven't seen your father and eldest brother for a long time, right?"

"Well"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the sky. It was okay to go back, but since he was back in Shizuoka today, he still had to do some other things.

"I'm going to Qingshui City later to visit my grandfather."

After hearing this, her mother Nanako looked a little nervous: "Naoki, you won't be involved in Yakuza affairs, will you?"

"Ah, no, no."

Nagayama Naoki smiled and comforted him. If there was a relationship, the blood connection was unbreakable, but if there was a big relationship, it wouldn't be a big deal. He was doing legitimate business.

"I just have some things related to Brother Feng that I want to talk to my grandfather."

"That's it"

After struggling for a while, the mother finally decided not to care. After all, her son had grown up and now had the highest status in the family.

"Then let's meet your father and brother when they come back tonight. Let's stay in the old house today."

"Hi~"

The ancestral house in Qingshui City is like an old giant beast, lying quietly in a corner of the city. The man on duty at the door has a fierce look. Ordinary people will speed up their pace when passing by, never wanting to stop for a while.

When Nagayama Naoki's car stopped at the door, the younger brother was a little surprised.

"you."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him and didn't know what to call them for a moment. After Nagayama Kaede opened a KTV in Tokyo, he asked many old people from Qingshui to go there, and now Naoki Nagayama doesn't even recognize the ones left behind.

"Boss Naoki!"

But the younger brothers have naturally heard that one of the team leader's grandsons is a celebrity, and Nagayama Naoki's face is also very easy to recognize.

"Yeah" he nodded a little helplessly. There is no way to change the habit of calling boss, "Is grandpa here?"

"Hi!"

With that said, one of the younger brothers quickly went inside to inform, while Nagayama Naoki slowly walked towards the ancestral house.

"Who is my brother-in-law in charge now?"

Naoki Nagayama asked, because his brother-in-law, Shogo Hamazaki, had been sent to Tokyo.

"Now everyone listens to Brother Hanada Shogo." said the younger brother who was leading the way.

"Oh it's him~"

I have met him several times, and he seems to be one of the confidants of Uncle Yongshan Xiongyuan.

After continuing to ask some questions, Nagayama Naoki came to the study next to the main hall, where he saw his grandfather for the first time.

"Naoki! Come and sit!"

Hayato Nagayama waved to Naoki Nagayama happily. He was very satisfied with his grandson.

Giving Misora ​​Hibari a song can actually make her say good things in front of the Yondaime, and let the Yondaime take care of the Nagayama-gumi's KTV business. This can be called a strategy.

What's more, he also led Nagashan Kaede to make the KTV business prosperous. There are now four branches in Tokyo! We are already planning to drive to other cities!

"Grandpa." Naoki Nagayama bowed and sat opposite his grandfather.

"Why are you here at this time?" After a few words of greeting, Hayato Nagayama didn't beat around the bush. It's not a holiday, so there must be something wrong when he came here suddenly.

"The shooting of the new movie has come to an end, and I went back to my hometown to visit my home." Naoki Nagayama said, "I stopped by to learn some things from my grandfather."

"Oh? What's wrong? Is it related to the Yakuza?"

"Um."

Nagayama Naoki nodded and told the tree friends what happened in Tokyo. The Maple Leaf Society wanted to forcefully participate in the film production in order to make a fortune.

"I want to ask, are the Maple Leafs coming for the Yamaguchi group? Or are they just for the tree friends?"

After listening to this, my grandfather patted his thigh gently and thought, and then said slowly:

"Currently, the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters in Kobe is fighting against the First Peace Council. The fourth generation's method of using both kindness and power is very effective. Currently, many former Yamaguchi-gumi members who have fled have begun to return. Recently, an announcement was issued to denounce the First Peace Council, which makes The conflict between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Iwakai became more intense.”

Hayato Nagayama gave Naoki Nagayama a detailed explanation of the current struggle between the two factions. He believed that there was likely to be a bloody conflict next.

"Just the day before yesterday, on the Kii Peninsula, a team leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi stabbed to death the team leader of the Iwakai. There will definitely be revenge!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki heard it. The fourth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi was suppressing the First Peace Council step by step. Now the conflict has reached the most intense time.

"What will the Maple Leaf Club do to its tree friends at this time?"

"The relationship between the Kobe headquarters and the First Peace Society is a 'private matter' of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and it does not have much impact on other groups." Hayato Nagayama said, "The actions of the Maple Leaf Society's tree friends should be because the Yamaguchi-gumi is in Tokyo. Something happened to the branch leader, and the power vacuum left the Maple Leaf Club and other groups trying to make more money."

While talking, Hayato Nagayama also looked at Naoki Nagayama. Although this matter was said to be done by the partner of Kaede Nagayama, he thought Naoki Nagayama must have played some role in it.

"That's right." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Then does Grandpa have any good ideas for this situation?"

"Haha, if it's a conflict between the Yakuza, then you can either find a middleman and the two parties sit down and negotiate to see if there is anything to talk about, or you can go to war directly and just fight back. If you can't beat it, you will consider yourself unlucky."

Hayato Nagayama spoke in a confused manner, as if he had said something but not at all.

"But Naoki, your tree friend is not a Yakuza. As an old man, I don't have any good ideas."

Yes, the Shuyou Group is not the ultimate cult!

A good person is threatened by the Yakuza, what should he do?

Call the police!

As for whether calling the police in Neon is useful, it depends on how the tree friends operate it.

"Hey, I understand."

Nagayama Naoki nodded, brushed off the topic, and chatted with his grandfather about other family matters, including how his great-grandson Ye Cao was doing now, Brother Kaede's movements in Tokyo, and how the old club members who went to Tokyo were doing. So wait.

As the sun set, Naoki Nagayama said goodbye and left.

I had dinner with my mother, sister-in-law and weed. Because of the izakaya, my father and brother would not be back until very late.

After dinner, we returned to the old house. My mother went to the second floor to clean Naoki Nagayama's room, and prepared mats and pillows for Naoki Nagayama for the night.

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, took Nyaotaro and Yutaro to watch TV in the living room.

"The opening dance of "Music Station" is still the youth team~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the youth team singing and dancing on the screen and occasionally rapping, and murmured to himself, "Let them refer to Western hip-hop singers , it’s really started, how long have you been practicing?”

It wasn't until the show ended that my father and eldest brother returned to their old home.

"Brother, father~" Nagayama Naoki greeted the two people.

"Naoki!"

The eldest brother Aoki patted Naoki Nagayama on the shoulder, and his father looked at Naoki Nagayama up and down.

"Well, you're back?"

"Hey, the filming is over, so come back and check it out."

The three of them sat down in the Japanese room. Nagayama Naoki looked at his eldest brother Nagayama Aoki with some surprise. His originally strong figure had actually become a little thinner.

"Brother, are you losing weight?"

"."

Mother Nanako brought herbal tea: "He has to work during the day and sometimes take care of weeds at night, so he is very haggard."

In fact, when Weedao was just born, the couple were very cautious and had to watch her several times a night because she was born prematurely.

It's much better now.

“It’s really hard to raise children~”

Nagayama Naoki was thinking about how to comfort his elder brother, but at this time, Nagayama Aoki raised his head and said to his mother:

"Mom, Naoki hasn't been back for a long time. Please take out the wine at home! The three of us, father and son, have a drink together!"

Mother Nanako glanced at it: "Obviously you want to drink it!"

"Hehehe~ Naoki happened to be here! Besides, I haven't had a drink in a long time!"

Nagayama Nanako glanced at her father and saw that he had no objection, so she went to the locker to get some sake, and then went to the kitchen to make some simple side dishes to go with the wine.

Suddenly it was time to drink, and Naoki Nagayama didn't refuse. Anyway, he didn't have to drive at night.

"Father, how is the business of the izakaya now?"

"On summer evenings, more people come out, and business is pretty good." His father, Yongshan Ken, drank slowly with a glass of wine. "It seems that there are a lot more tourists coming to the beach."

"Many foreigners are here." Nagayama Aoki had already drank a glass and was pouring a second glass. "The izakaya hosted them once last time."

“It’s a good thing that there are so many tourists~”

In this era, with the rapid economic development of Neon, not only more people are going abroad, but also more people come to Neon for tourism.

After chatting over a glass of wine and a bite of food, the eldest brother, after getting a little drunk, also mentioned that now that we have children, the cost is much higher than before.

Nagayama Naoki just listened like this, originally just to vent the pressure in his heart. If his younger brother offered help at this time, his elder brother's self-esteem might not be able to bear it.

My family still has an apartment in Tokyo, but unfortunately it’s not a good time to sell it yet.

"I just hope there will be more tourists. Last time, the foreigners said that the food in our izakaya was very good and they even left a tip." Nagayama Aoki said with a red face, "The food in our izakaya is different from what we have eaten in Tokyo before. The restaurant is not bad at all, but its reputation has not spread.”

When Nagayama Naoki heard this, his heart moved: "Hasn't the fame spread?"

"Yes, they are all patronized by locals." Mother Nanako also said helpfully, "They are all repeat customers."

The father also nodded, he was also very confident about the food.

Now the management rights of the izakaya have been given to the eldest brother. If the izakaya becomes more famous and has more customers, it will make more money. Then the eldest brother Aoki will make more money, which will also make the eldest brother more comfortable. Come on.

"Brother, do you want to make a TV series?"

"?" Several other people looked over.

"It's just something that can be seen in many variety shows. You go everywhere to explore new and interesting places. Some reporters will find those particularly famous restaurants and hotels to experience and try. There are also a lot of people watching every time."

Naoki Nagayama explained,

"But they all go to famous places, and my idea is to find those specialty shops hidden in the alleys of small towns. If the food in our izakaya is good, it should be a good place to explore as one of them."

In fact, Naoki Nagayama was thinking about the Japanese drama "The Lonely Gourmet". After a busy work day, having a delicious meal to soothe his stomach was just a thought.

"Is this still allowed?" Nagayama Aoki asked, "Can our izakaya be photographed?"

"Well, after it is broadcast, maybe we can bring in more guests." Nagayama Naoki said, "Not only the eldest brother Aoki, but also my father and mother can be on camera."

"This" Yongshan Aoki hesitated. He didn't know whether to take the picture or not.

"Haha, if the effect is good, maybe we can make a series of TV series, like the first and second seasons." Nagayama Naoki laughed loudly, "With one person as the protagonist, traveling around various neon cities will definitely Someone will watch!”

The other three people looked at him with suspicion. Naoki Nagayama, who was also a little tipsy, did not have too many scruples and continued:

"If we want to continue it then, our family members can be the protagonists and we can all appear on TV."

At this time, Naoki Nagayama looked at his father up and down. He had a thin figure, a taciturn personality, and facial features that were upright, gentle, and even considered delicate when he was young. Being able to inherit the genes of Naoki Nagayama and Tsuruko Nagayama's appearance, he certainly wouldn't be ugly.

"Why is Naoki looking at me like that?" Yongshan Ken twisted his body uncomfortably.

"Father, do you want to be the protagonist of this TV series?" Nagayama Naoki said jokingly, "Let's call it "The Lonely Gourmet"!"

"???" His dull face was full of question marks, "Me? Why?"

"Because my father knows a lot about food! And" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile: "I found that my father is still very handsome!"

"."

After hearing these words, Yongshan Ken's face turned red. For a moment, he didn't know how to reply to the poor language. He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said bitterly amid the laughter of his mother Nanako:

"You unfilial son!!"

Hey hey hey, it’s early today~
