Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 77

Hideki Hanyu was of course very happy to learn that his works were selling well.

But what made him even happier was that the signing was coming to an end soon.

"After today's busy day, there are only two games left in Osaka. I will be busy for another two days when I return to Tokyo. I need to take a good rest."

Starting from the first day in Tokyo, there will be two autograph sessions in each city. He is either on his way to the autograph session or in the middle of the autograph session.

I traveled to four cities in twelve days.

Physically exhausted, I can still persist, mainly because my right wrist is sore and tired.

Although it is not to the extent of injury, but basically as soon as the signing is over, you must use the prepared warm water bag to heat the wrist to promote blood circulation in the wrist, help metabolites such as lactic acid absorb faster, and reduce pain symptoms.

Seeing that it was finally coming to an end, how could he not be happy?

Seeing Hideki Hanyu's look of anticipation, Eri Kitahara remembered another thing.

In fact, the notification given to her by the headquarters just now, apart from the sales of "Magic Snack Shop 1: Dream Gummy Got into Trouble", also includes arrangements for the signing event.

The signing itinerary they arranged for this time, apart from the sparsely populated Shikoku Island, Kyushu Island also did not arrange a city.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu's all neon sign book signing started, and he couldn't sit still because he didn't find any book fans from Kyushu Island during the book signing itinerary.

They called the Shogakukan one after another to protest, asking why no signing event was arranged in Kyushu Island, saying that they also wanted to meet Hideki Hanyu.

Shogakukan is also very helpless. Although Hideki Hanyu does not want to travel too many cities, in order to maintain Hideki Hanyu's image, he has to take the blame.

However, as the signing event became more and more popular, there were more and more protests from book fans on Kyushu Island. Xiao Xiaoguan couldn't bear it anymore and decided to add two more signing events in Kyushu Island.

The location of these two signings was chosen in Fukuoka, which has the strongest economic strength and the largest population. The appointment is estimated to start tomorrow.

Of course, this matter cannot be kept from Hideki Hanyu, Eri Kitahara said in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Hanyu-san, I'm afraid after the last two signings in Tokyo, I can't rest for the time being."

"What do you mean?" Hideki Hanyu didn't know what happened.

"Because of the strong reaction from book fans on Kyushu Island, it was temporarily decided to arrange two book signings in Fukuoka."

Eri Kitahara was not worried that Hideki Hanyu would refuse. During the earliest publicity, the itinerary would be adjusted according to the actual situation.

"What? Doesn't that mean that after the signing event in Osaka the day after tomorrow, I have to go back to Tokyo first, and then go to Fukuoka. I would have arranged two games for Fukuoka before I knew it. I wasted my time on the road now."

Hanyu Hideki couldn't help complaining.

Go to Hokkaido from south to north, then go to Osaka from north to south, then go back to Tokyo from south to north, and finally go to Fukuoka from north to south, and then return to Tokyo again.

What is he, running back and forth in the whole neon?

As for changing the itinerary, he really has no objection, after all, it is a normal situation.

Besides, it is to promote his works, not a huge change like adding seven or eight cities at a time. If there are two signings, the wrist can barely bear it.

"Because the bookings for the last two signing events in Tokyo have already ended, the signing event in Fukuoka can only be in the back row." Eri Kitahara explained.

"That's the only way to go." Hanyu Hideki said helplessly.

After talking about changing the itinerary, Eri Kitahara was about to leave, but she didn't forget to press the manuscript before going out.

"Hanyu-san, no matter what happens at the signing, the follow-up story of Miracle Dessert still needs to be written."

"Okay, I see, Komatsu-san, let's get started."

Greeting Komatsu Jiro who recorded for him, Hanyu Hideki started the creation of the second volume of "Magic Snack Shop".

At the same time, in Osaka City, where the next signing will be held, Igawa Koharu, the housewife who has been following Hideki Hanyu since the earliest days, received a call from the staff of the Shogakukan.

"Mrs. Ikawa, I'm a staff member of the Shogakukan. I'm taking the liberty to bother you to confirm whether Mrs. Ikawa has made an appointment for the book signing event held by writer Hideki Hanyu at the Maruzen Bookstore in Osaka City tomorrow?"

"That's right, I've made an appointment." Igawa Koharu confirmed.

"Ms. Igawa, can you be there normally?"

"I can be there normally."

"Okay, then we want to remind Mrs. Ikawa that there may be a lot of people attending the scene, so Mrs. Ikawa must arrive early. If you want to give gifts to writers, please don't choose expensive items, and try not to give them as gifts." food……"

The staff of the Elementary School Hall reminded several precautions, and then said sorry and hung up the phone.

As for Igawa Koharu who was reminded here, thinking of seeing his favorite Hanyu Hideki tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly put the prepared small gift in a conspicuous place, for fear that he might forget to bring it tomorrow.

……

Leaving Nagoya, the two signings in Osaka kicked off.

Fans of strange books are naturally not uncommon, but there are more book fans who ask him to question him with "Children's Literature and Art".

On the matter of hating bear children, Osaka and Tokyo, who have always looked down on each other, are actually standing in the same camp.

However, the book fan who impressed Hanyu Hideki the most was a beautiful housewife named Igawa Koharu.

The reason why he is so impressed is that he is beautiful, of course, but the main reason is that the other party gave him a hand-woven scarf. The pattern on the scarf turned out to be the image of small animals in his previous picture books.

Such a thoughtful gift moved him quite a bit.

Compared with the previous gifts that had to be put in a warehouse when I got home, Hideki Hanyu liked this scarf very much.

Not only did he take this scarf as a representative of book fan gifts in an interview with a local TV station in Osaka, he publicly expressed his gratitude and said that he would wear it in winter.

The signing session in Osaka was over, and he rushed back to Tokyo non-stop, starting the second round of signings in Tokyo.

Compared with the first round, except that more people came to question him with "Children's Literature and Art", nothing else changed.

During the two days after returning to Tokyo, he took the time to ask Mitomo Iijima to come over and ask him what was going on at work during his absence.

"Yada-san is still dealing with the previous real estate investment, and there is no new investment target for the time being. The advertising filming of Yunshang Pictures is progressing smoothly. The training time for the three girls in the brokerage office has been reduced due to the start of school. On the Yunshang Culture side, Several TV stations came up with the idea of ​​making a TV animation of Magical Dim Sum Shop."

After listening to Mitomo Iijima's report, Hideki Hanyu thought for a while and began to arrange work.

"Urge Yada-san to act faster. The investment that has been confirmed can be handed over to Koyama Fengno. He needs to continue to look for new investment targets according to my requirements. Don't worry about my financial problems."

Hideki Hanyu, who had just received two huge royalties, spoke quite confidently.

"Yes, I see." Iijima Sanchi quickly wrote it down in his notebook.

After Hideki Hanyu arranged the investment, he thought of the three girls signed by the firm.

"Remember to inform Asako-san to correct the teeth of those three children as soon as possible."

Hanyu Hideki wanted to talk about this before, but he was busy all the time and forgot to mention it.

Neon girls generally have problems with their teeth.

The three they signed were relatively light, and the little fat dish they were going to take was serious. The two front teeth were completely different.

In his previous life, he had read a report saying that the food of Neon people was relatively soft, and children's teeth could not get chewing exercise, so they were prone to poor growth, and he didn't know if it was because of this reason.

"As for the production of TV animation by Miracle Snacks, Iijima-san will help me deal with interested TV stations first, and we can talk about it when I come back from Fukuoka."

The production of the TV animation of "Magical Snack Shop" is not something that can be negotiated in a short time, and it must also go through Xiao Xiaokan.

After explaining everything, Hideki Hanyu finished the signing event in Tokyo, took another plane across most of the Neon, and headed for Shizuoka Prefecture.

Shizuoka Prefecture, with Shizuoka City and Hamamatsu City as the center, formed the "Shizuoka Hamamatsu Metropolitan Area" independent of the three major metropolitan areas of RB. Therefore, the two signing sessions were held in Shizuoka City and Hamamatsu City respectively. Hamamatsu City.

It stands to reason that Hideki Hanyu would have to play for a few days after coming to a tourist resort like Izu Peninsula, which has Mt. Fuji and the so-called "hot spring peninsula".

But helplessly, he has been busy for more than 20 days. After running back and forth several times on the Three Neon Islands, he was really tired and lost all interest.

On the night of the signing session in Hamamatsu City, he boarded a plane back to Tokyo.

After returning to the master house from the airport, he went to bed and fell asleep, and no one could wake him up.

This time, Hideki Hanyu was sleepy, and when he woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Perhaps it was because he had slept for too long, and he struggled to get up from the bed, only feeling dizzy, his muscles ached all over his body, and his stomach was still growling with hunger, and his overall condition was very bad.

Just when he was about to go out to find something to eat, he just pushed open the bedroom door, only to see Nako Lulu, who had obviously grown up again, rushing towards him.

meow~
Having not seen Hideki Hanyu for more than 20 days, the little female cat not only did not forget her owner, but became even more attached to him.

This impatient look is obviously anxious for the master.

It's just that if Hanyu Hideki remembers correctly, Nako Lulu should be fostered by him in a pet shop. Who brought the little female cat back?

Just wondering, there was a noise from the restaurant on the first floor, and soon a woman's voice came.

"Is Hanyu-kun awake?" It was the voice of his girlfriend Keiko Matsuzaka.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he immediately understood that it was his girlfriend who brought the kitten back. He went to the railing and looked down, and saw his girlfriend in an apron looking up at him with a bright and charming smile.

When he walked downstairs with the kitten in his arms, his girlfriend had already brought him hot water.

"It's hard, drink some hot water. I used to be busy promoting movies for too long, and it would be hard to sleep."

Hanyu Hideki drank the hot water, and his stomach felt a lot better, he felt warm all over his body, and his dizziness was obviously relieved.

He put down his glass, pulled his girlfriend into his arms, and said softly, "Qing Zi is so kind."

"I'm Hideki-kun's girlfriend, and I should take care of Hideki-kun."

After the woman finished speaking softly, she gently pushed Hideki Hanyu away and stood up.

"I prepared white porridge, Xiu Shu-kun must be hungry."

After finishing speaking, the woman went to the kitchen and brought out the finished porridge, accompanied by a pile of refreshing rice bran pickles.

Hanyu Hideki looked at the refreshing mix of porridge and side dishes in front of him, he was already hungry, and his appetite suddenly whetted, and he was satisfied with it in two or three bites.

"The white porridge made by Qingzi is really delicious!"

Hideki Hanyu sincerely praised him.

The rice white soup is thick, fragrant, sweet and smooth. After taking a sip, the rice aroma slips from his mouth into his throat, making him have a long aftertaste.

Hearing Hideki Hanyu praise the delicious porridge, Keiko Matsuzaka blushed immediately and said embarrassedly.

"Actually, I bought this bowl of porridge at an old shop nearby."

"Hey?"

Just as he was about to praise Hideki Hanyu a few more words, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But he quickly realized that his words changed, "Whether it's bought or cooked, as long as it's served to me by Qingzi, it's delicious."

"Hideki-kun always makes me happy."

"Because I'm telling the truth, when did Keiko return to Tokyo? Is the movie finished?"

Hanyu Hideki hurriedly changed the topic of rice porridge.

"I just cameo. The movie actually started shooting in Kanagawa in January, and it ended after I left."

"Well, then Qingzi will be able to rest for a while."

"Yes, I can accompany Hideki-kun from now on."

"But I guess I won't be able to accompany Keiko. Although the signing is over, there are other things to do." Hanyu Hideki expressed regret.

"It's okay, in fact, I will also attend the wrap-up banquet of the new movie."

"Is there a banquet after finishing the green?"

"Because this movie is different, that..." The woman hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything Qingzi wants to say?"

"Can I ask Hideki-kun to accompany me to the wrap-up banquet?"

Men want to take their beautiful girlfriends out to show off, but women don't have such ideas.

If not, it can only be said that the boyfriend is not good enough.

Hideki Hanyu is obviously not on this list, he is definitely a boyfriend worth showing off.

The reason why Matsuzaka Keiko wanted to take Hanyu Hideki to the finale banquet was for other purposes besides showing off her boyfriend.

In the crew that participated in the movie before, there was a leading female lead who graduated from a prestigious school, and she posed as a talented woman in front of her all day long, implying that she was pompous and lacked talent.

Therefore, she wanted to drag her boyfriend to show off. She was not talented, but she found a talented boyfriend, and she wanted to use Hideki Hanyu to suppress his arrogance.

Hideki Hanyu thought about the partner of that movie, and wanted to refuse, but he heard from his girlfriend.

"This wrap-up banquet was held by the Department of Culture, mainly to reward the efforts of the neon filming party."

"Won't people from the west participate?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"They've all gone back."

"Oh, then I'll go with Keiko." Without any worries, Hanyu Hideki readily agreed.

"Hideki-kun is so kind." Thinking of the scene where her boyfriend appeared, Keiko Matsuzaka was extremely happy.

"Isn't it just to attend a wrap-up dinner? As for being so happy?"

"Because Hideki-kun is willing to accompany me."

After the woman finished speaking, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks for eating, and happily went to the kitchen to pack them up.

At the dining table, Hanyu Hideki shook his head helplessly, feeling that he still didn't understand a woman's mind.

……

The next day, Hanyu Hideki arrived at the Elementary School Hall early in the morning.

"It's really rare to see Hanyu-san so early." Kitahara Eri looked at Hideki Hanyu in feigned surprise, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Of course I came to see Kitahara-san on business. I told you before that there are several TV stations who want to shoot TV animations of Miracle Dessert Shop. I want to ask Xiao Xiaokan what they think."

Hideki Hanyu explained his purpose.
