Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Return to Tokyo



The New Year at Ryougi's house was very good except for the uncomfortable New Year's Eve dinner. It was really a rare break for Nanaya who had been busy all year.

During the New Year period, he stayed in the Ryougi family mansion and was lazy. Apart from the New Year's worship, he did not go anywhere else.

In his previous life, Nanaya felt that burning incense during the New Year was really annoying. Why did he go out to join in the fun instead of staying at home to sleep?

In this life, when he was in his hometown of Shimane Prefecture, he would visit the shrine every New Year.

Because at this time there will be many young ladies wearing shrine maiden costumes in the shrine society who can be admired from a distance. You know, Nanaya is the animal who has the least resistance to shrine maiden costumes and police uniforms.

As for close play, I wasn't able to get my ex-girlfriend to wear the shrine maiden costume until seven nights before we broke up.

Because the shrine maiden costumes rented out were too expensive, Nanaya was reluctant to rent them for fear of damaging them.

I have money now, but I don't have a girlfriend.

This made Nanaya feel extremely sad. It's not like he could have his cake and eat it too. Why couldn't he have both his girlfriend and the shrine maiden costume?

In order to relieve his depression, Nanaya visited Kyoto's shrines during the New Year.

As a famous historical city in Japan, Kyoto has many temples and shrines. Nanaya specially picked a few shrines to visit, which was a feast for the eyes and replenished a lot of shrine energy - in the form of photos.

I have to say that Kyoto is indeed a big city. Even the shrine maidens who work there are much better than those in Nanaya's small country town. After a few days, Nanaya got a lot of good quality photos of shrine maidens. I plan to share them with Siji next time.

As for the temples in Kyoto, Nanaya and his family didn't go to any of them. After all, the robes of female nuns were not really his cup of tea. The red and white clothes of the shrine maidens were more to his liking.

Nanaya seldom went to the hospital to visit Ori these days. After all, his junior fellow apprentice was not really ill, and he was not very familiar with his sister Ryougi Shiki. Although he went there twice, it was just a courtesy visit.

After all, Ryougi Kiyomi had been going to the hospital every day these days, and Nanaya felt really embarrassed to disturb their family reunion.

I don't know how Ryougi Shun did it. The siblings are not living in the same department, but they are currently living in the same ward.

Although this does make it easier for Ryougi Kiyomi to visit both children at once, but...

Never mind.

Nanaya felt that it would be better not to delve into the details of some things.

On January 5th, Nanaya had to leave early and return to Tokyo because of work. As for Ori, he was still pretending to be sick in the ward, because he and his father had not yet figured out how to explain the work.

In fact, Nanaya didn't want to return to Tokyo so early, but he had no say in work matters.

Because he had to meet someone first, and then go to the United States with that person to promote "Goblin Slayer". As for this person...

"Onii-chan, over here! Over here!"

As Nanaya stepped out of the platform, he saw Illya trying hard to fight back at him.

Standing next to the little loli was Shion, while her followers Iioka and Sera stood a little behind her.

"Illya, Shion!"

Nanaya dragged his suitcase and walked quickly to the two of them, "Why did you come together?"

"Of course it's because of work. Don't forget who invested in Goblin Slayer."

Shion habitually covered her face with a folding fan when she spoke. Nanaya was really worried that she would catch a cold by using the fan in the middle of winter.

"Onii-chan, where is Ryougi brother? Why can't I see him? Did he dump me?" Illya tilted her neck and looked behind Nanaya, trying to find Ryougi Ori.

"If he's still in Kyoto, I guess he'll go straight to New Zealand then."

Nanaya rubbed the little Loli's head twice, and then immediately put his hand down under Sera's knife-like gaze.

"What a pity! I guess Illya won't be able to see Brother Ryougi for the foreseeable future."

Illya looked a little depressed, but being an optimistic person by nature, she immediately cheered up again and took the initiative to walk in front and lead the group out of the station.

Shion deliberately lagged behind Illya by half a body length and walked side by side with Nanaya. She whispered to Nanaya to confirm: "You just used 'he'..."

The meeting between Shion and Nanaya a few years ago had to be cancelled because Ryougi Shiki had a stomachache. At that time, in order to take care of the sick Ryougi Shiki, Shion had been in close contact with her, so Shion knew clearly that Ryougi Shiki was probably a girl.

Therefore, when Nanaya mentioned Ryougi Ori, Shion felt very strange about the name he and Illya used.

"The person you saw that day was actually Ori's twin sister, Ryougi Shiki."

Afraid that Shion didn't understand what he meant, Nanaya deliberately wrote the word "式" in the air with his finger while explaining.

"Hey...how interesting."

Shion nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly she thought of something.

"Wait a minute, I remember you called Ryougi Shiki to play the heroine in your first movie!"

However, Nanaya, who had guessed what the other party wanted to say, had already quickly stepped forward and left Shion behind. He didn't want to be entangled in such troublesome things.

The Ryutani family's mansion is even bigger than the Ryougi family's. In a place like Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable, it can be said that it is everyone's dream to own such a mansion.

However, compared to the traditional Japanese style of the Ryougi family, the Ryutani family's villa has a distinct Western style. Especially the courtyard located between the villa and the gate, where the trimmed shrubs made Nanaya think of the luxurious manor of European nobles.

"So this is really Japan? Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Looking at the fountain in the courtyard that looked like the one in "Roman Holiday", Nanaya's eyes kept twitching.

"Indeed, I also felt it was very exaggerated when I first saw this." Shion nodded with a wry smile, "Even our family doesn't have such a thing. It is said that Grandpa Nobuyuki specifically referred to the designs in Europe when building this villa in order to please his wife."

"It sounds really romantic." Nanaya didn't know what to say when he pampered his wife to this extent. This kind of thing is probably what all girls dream of.

After hearing Shion's explanation, Illya scratched her cheek with her fingers and said a little embarrassedly: "But Grandma Yustisa doesn't really like these designs. Because many of these designs are French, but Grandma Yustisa is German."

"..."

[In other words, the flattery hit the horse's leg? ]

For some reason, Nanaya suddenly felt some sympathy for Nobuyuki.

After passing through the courtyard, Nanaya and his group finally walked into the villa. But Nanaya felt more like he was walking into a castle.

The first thing Nanaya saw upon entering the door was the spacious pillarless hall. Following Sera up the stairs, Nanaya saw that both sides of the corridor were filled with various collectibles, including Japanese samurai swords, European handicrafts, dazzling ornaments, specially made golden crowns, and various knight and samurai armors.

There is a name tag under each exhibit stating the origin of the item. Nanaya discovered that most of these collections are props that have appeared in Lin Bao's movies, but there are also many collections that could be bought by the old man.

"There are so many things that it's hard to tell what's where."

Nanaya believed that if this villa were open to the public, it would definitely attract many movie lovers to visit, and he would be able to make a lot of money from the ticket sales.

As Nanaya was looking at the exhibits on both sides, Sera, who was leading the way, turned back and warned, "Mr. Director over there, please follow me closely. It will be troublesome if you get lost."

"Hey? Is this a maze?"

"No, they will just be treated as suspicious by the security guards and dealt with." Sera gave Nanaya a sinister smile, "For example, they might confuse you, Kiryu, with a lolicon and throw you directly into Tokyo Bay."

"..."

Nanaya did not answer directly, but then he moved closer to Sera.

Led by Sera, the group went up and down three or four stairs, then walked through six or seven turns and four or five glass-walled corridors, and finally stopped in front of a huge double wooden door.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo, how big is this place?"

Nanaya asked breathlessly while holding the wall with one hand. It took him nearly half an hour to walk from the time he entered the door to now, not to mention the time it took to walk through the courtyard from the gate.

No matter how you look at it, the scale of this house is too exaggerated!

"Well..." Sera smiled slightly, "New guests have to walk the same path as before, so that they can appreciate all the treasures of the master."

"In other words, it only takes a short walk from the gate to here?" Nanaya's eyes were as big as copper bells.

Sera nodded and admitted, "Yes, it's probably just going up to the second floor and then walking through two corridors and a corner. Don't look at me like that, this is the tradition of the Ryutani family."

"The Ryutani family's villa turned out to be Hogwarts."

Nanaya didn't know what the significance of this tradition was. The cursory viewing just now made it impossible to get a good look at the exhibits.

[I didn't follow this route last time I came here. Is it because I'm an acquaintance? ]

Shion blinked twice, somewhat confused.

[Does our family have this tradition? ]

Illya tilted her head curiously, she didn't seem to understand very well.

"Well, Kiryu please."

Sera said as she opened the door to the reception room, and then——

"Illya-chan~~? I haven't seen you for 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 17 seconds~~?"

So white.

This was Nanaya's first reaction to the two headlights that suddenly appeared in front of him.
