Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 50 "Male and Female Pickets"

After Takakura Bunta listened to Kanda Keiko's description of the "Dark Gambling Agreement", this was a method used by the lowest level in the entertainment industry to gain position.

The benefits are big, but the risks are bigger.

Takakura Bunta has the super golden finger of "the strongest creature in the sea, land and air", and is not interested in the "Dark Gambling Agreement", a unique product of the Dark Star world.

…………

"Pickets" is TV Asahi's signature variety show.

"Picket" mainly discusses relationships between men and women. Its spicy content and merciless way of exposing each other's wounds often put the participating artists under great pressure.

Due to the spicy topic content in the program, this program won the first place as "the most unsuitable program for children" rated by the Tokyo PTA (Parents Association) National Council for five consecutive years from 1990 to 1995.

Being officially certified has made the show’s ratings even higher.

…………

Originally, based on the popularity of Bunta Takakura's songs, he should be the main star of this show.

However, Iijima Ikuko completed the dark gambling agreement and suddenly completed the gorgeous transformation of a positive actress. The main star of this show was given to Iijima Ikuko.

Bunta Takakura, like Tony Futaki, mainly plays a companion and chats.

Of course, the two soon discovered that this show didn't give them much room to talk.

…………

The entire program is Ikuko Iijima's personal show.

Because she has no inhibitions in the show and speaks freely, she has completely mastered the rhythm of the legitimate show.

The host asked: "Among the positive female stars, there are already king-level stars, why do we still need to transform?"

Ikuko Iijima replied: "I am already 22 years old and have wrinkles on my butt. From now on, I will leave this late-night adult program to young people."

Speaking of being exposed in sexy news,
  Iijima Ikuko said, "He is not my boyfriend, but we meet every three days."

When asked what is the most important thing when moving in together?
  Iijima Ikuko said without hesitation: "Money."

Seeing that Ikuko Iijima was in excellent condition, after the intermission of the program recording, the executive director decided to add some spice.

…………

After the intermission, the host took the improvised script and mentioned the rumors of AIDS revealed by "Weekly Bunshun" and her recent attendance at the "World AIDS Day" event.

Ikuko Iijima shouted loudly: "I don't have AIDS. Are you a young boy who is so confident that you are not infected with AIDS?"

After that, she also advised the girls, "Don't simply go to bed with someone, otherwise the quality of the red wine and restaurant on the date will soon drop."

The host of the show was so embarrassed that he knelt down and begged for mercy in a dramatic manner, and the effect of the show exploded.

At the end of the show, Ikuko Iijima lifted up her skirt in public, revealing her thong, which made countless male viewers go crazy.

The host even had an exaggerated nosebleed...

Through the keen sense of smell of the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, Takakura Bunta smelled out the super strong female hormone secretion in her body, which is more than 10 times that of ordinary girls.

She is just like the monster heroine from a Jinjiang female channel novel who traveled through time.

The ratings of this episode of "Men and Women's Pickets" hit a record high in the history of the program group.

....................................

The recording of "Pickets" is over, and Ikuko Iijima is going to NHK TV station to record another variety show.

Tony Futaki and Takakura Buntao hadn't seen each other for a long time. At the suggestion of Kanda Keiko, they went to Shosuke's home cooking in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

………     This is a traditional family restaurant hidden in the streets and alleys, mainly serving nearby residents.

Mainly making buttered potatoes and Fukagawa rice.

Fukagawa rice is one of RB’s five famous rice dishes.

Fukagawa City in Hokkaido is the holy land of clams. The clams produced are delicious and delicious, and the main ingredient for making Fukagawa rice is clams.

Boil clams or other ingredients, fried tofu, etc. with soy sauce and other seasonings.

Pour the cooked soup into the rice. After cooking, add the ingredients and stir to eat. It tastes delicious.

Goro was the first to discover this place and brought Takakura Bunta and Kanda Keiko there once. This place became one of Kanda Keiko’s treasure stores.

…………

Entering the restaurant, Kanda Keiko took the order in a familiar way:
  "Four servings of Fukagawa rice, two servings of buttered potatoes, and a bottle of soda. What are you drinking?"

Bunta Takakura said: "A can of Sapporo Black Label beer."

Tony Ermu looked at the menu on the wall of the store and said, "I'll give you a bottle of wolfberry juice."

When Takakura Bunta saw Kanda Keiko ordering four portions of rice, he asked, "Can we eat so much?"

Kanda Keiko said: "When I was recording the show in the morning, my friend called me. She happened to be coming back from the hospital. She passed by here and we could have dinner together."

Before Takakura Bunta could ask more questions, the buttered potatoes were served.

Steamed large potatoes seasoned with butter and salt, 500 yen each.

Freshly baked potatoes still have steam and humidity, cut in irregular patterns, and melted butter flows into the mashed potatoes to bind them together.

Bunta Takakura picked up a piece of potato and took a big bite. The aroma was overflowing. The quality of the product in this store was as stable as ever, but it was a little hot.

Tony Ermu grinned and turned the buttered potatoes back and forth in his hands.

…………

Compared to the crude eating methods of Takakura Bunta and Tony Futaki, Kanda Keiko's eating method looks elegant and unique under the soft light.

She was concentrating on a plate of gratin potatoes, gently flicking them back and forth with a fork. The golden potatoes were covered with a thick layer of cream, rolling inside the plate, exuding an alluring aroma.
  The golden skin of the gratin potatoes shines seductively under the light.

Keiko Kanda cut into a piece with a fork, narrowed her eyes slightly, and began to taste the delicious food.

....................................

"Keiko?"

The restaurant door opened, and a clear and pleasant female voice came from behind.

Bunta Takakura swallowed the gratin potato in his mouth and looked back.

A beautiful first love face, light eyebrows, clear eyes, thin air bangs with a hint of ethereal and dreamy, exquisite and gorgeous Baroque earrings add a touch of mature style.

The slender neck, delicate collarbones, and pretty round shoulders look light and beautiful.

The thin and graceful figure, the all-round beauty, the whole body is full of helplessness and makes people feel loving, she is both girly and elf.

This kind of cold and distant temperament, like the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, exudes a coldness that repels people thousands of miles away. With a faint glance, it seems that all glitz and glamor are invisible to the eyes, making people unable to help but protect her.

"?!!"

"!!!"

Takakura Bunta and Tony Futaki recognized each other almost at the same time and exclaimed together.
