The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

We've roughly figured out what happened. As a long-time employee, Chisa Kotegawa has some basic public relations skills.

She teleported behind You in a flash, and guiltily kept pushing him out of Miss Lan's sight, so that he wouldn't talk nonsense and bring up the hatred of celebrities!

"Hmm~ It's okay, I've never blamed Mr. Yu. I actually watched your show too! The planning was really great!"

Shaking her head and smiling again, seeing how nervous Chisa was, Takahashi Ran quickly rallied, her long legs springing up like a spring—"I should be the one learning more from Teacher Yu!"

"...It's so bright, I feel like I'm going to die!"

It looked like a flashbang had exploded in front of her. Because she was speculating about Rana with very unseemly thoughts, Kotegawa Chisa squinted and shielded her eyes with her hand.

Even so, she still felt like her bright, cheerful aura was being purified! Celebrities really are monsters!

"But if that's the case, why are Miss Ran so familiar with Iori?"

After listening for a few minutes, Shinichiro Yamamoto barely grasped the details of the matter, and immediately raised his hand seriously to ask a question!

But for the scumbags, there has only ever been one answer they want to know: how exactly did Iori manage to hook up with such a beautiful woman?

The methods that allow someone like Iori to hook up with celebrities are perfectly reasonable for them to just want an ordinary girlfriend!

"Well, actually, I came here because two girls told me that Mr. Chi Yue was here!"

She first pointed at Kohei Imamura, and then, with an embarrassed smile, Ayana Takahashi explained, "I was afraid of losing all the attention again. As for Iori, I met him when I was sidelined!"

"So that's how it is, they took advantage of the situation!"

"That bastard really timed it perfectly!"

"I've already said that I didn't take advantage of your vulnerability. Miss Lan is just an ordinary friend of mine!"

He looked like a pig's head. Kitahara Iori shed a tear and wailed loudly, accusing the scumbags of the gang of disregarding human life. Why should he be killed just for talking to a girl?

"You brat! You dare say you have absolutely no interest in Miss Lan?!"

"That's the only thing I can't guarantee..."

Faced with the collective stare of the scumbags, the wailing stopped, and Pighead slowly turned to the side where he had his back to them.

"Haha~ Sorry, it seems my visit has caused quite a bit of trouble for everyone..."

With a wry smile, Takahashi Ran faced the chaotic scene that had been created because of her. Her eyes darkened for a moment before she maintained her smile, bowed deeply, and prepared to take her leave.

She had just confirmed that the person coming down should be a young man named Gengping, not Chi Yue himself.

As long as the photography team is told to be mindful and avoid including photos of passing Kohei in the shots, there shouldn't be any copyright infringement issues with the promotional video.

"I apologize for bothering you all, but I hope you have a great time!"

"...Wait! Did Miss Ran really come here just to confirm Kohei's identity?"

After exchanging a glance with Nanaka, Miyazawa Yu received a gentle yet affirming look from her. With a sigh of helplessness, he stopped Takahashi Ran, who was about to leave.

Although the people present had varying levels of intelligence, none of them had low emotional intelligence. At this moment, they all stopped their conversations and looked at Takahashi Ran.

They are just participants in the current activity and have no right to speak for themselves. However, if it is Yu's arrangement, they are not "forced" to follow the group's arrangements!

"Huh? Why is everyone looking at me like that? I really just came here..."

Suddenly, I realized that even the scumbag guys who kicked Iori all had a helpless expression on their faces, like, "This guy is just being stubborn and arrogant!"

With a blush, Takahashi Ran hugged one arm and hesitated for a long time before finally revealing her secret thoughts.

"Okay, actually I was originally thinking of seeing if I could invite Ms. Yu or Mr. Iori to copy the proposal..."

Her eyes fell on the couple's tickets clutched in Kohei's hand, and she quickly added, "Of course, everyone seems to have their own important things to do, so..."

"So we helped, after all, the matter was caused by us, and it would be too inhumane to disappoint Miss Lan for the sake of having fun..."

"Yeah, that's right. Leave the pranks to us. These scumbags are really good at it!"

"But Mr. Kohei..."

"It's okay~"

Smiling and shaking her head, Yoshihara Aina was certain that Ran wasn't an enemy. Feeling ashamed, she quickly let go of Kohei's arm, coughed twice, and said seriously, "I would be more disappointed if Kohei refused because of the date!"

"Thank you all so much! It's so kind of you to help!"

Chapter 317 My favorite idol gets stabbed in the face!

"So, that's why you brought back a whole bunch of people?"

On set, looking at the monsters and demons that Takahashi Ran brought back, Oshima Keiko crossed her arms, took a deep breath, and stared intently at her artist with her large and small eyes full of anger.

This is clearly a critical turning point that will determine the rise and fall of her career, yet she still dares to act so recklessly. Does she really think she is an everlasting star among Japanese models?

"Um……"

She obediently bowed and apologized, while Takahashi Ran tilted her head pitifully and nodded ingratiatingly.

Fearing her manager might get even more agitated, she quickly added, "But don't worry, it's definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision! This person, this person is the one who revitalized Mr. Chi Yue's project; they're very capable!"

"I know this kid, he's the main culprit behind your declining popularity, right?"

As Takahashi Aina's manager, Oshima Keiko may be a newcomer to the workplace, but she is, after all, a genuine professional player with formal training.

Compared to the pure model Lan Na who thinks "Wow! That's amazing!" when she sees success, her academic experience has allowed her to see more success stories and has demystified the idea of ​​ordinary people successfully starting a business.

In her eyes, the key is to establish a solid reputation steadily, and anything that goes too far is considered a crooked way to make money!

Besides, this kid was only seen briefly, yet Lan Na already regards him as her teacher!

"Keiko Oshima! Also, I've been saying that Ran seems to be talking about your reputation a lot these past few days, Yu-sensei!"

With a ridiculously exaggerated smile, Keiko Oshima leaned close to Yu, tilting her head in a seemingly friendly manner, but actually extending her slender hand to threaten him, saying, "I'm so tired of hearing this!"

"……Hello?"

After carefully observing the outstretched hand and confirming that there was no strange liquid on it, Miyazawa Yu smiled insincerely and extended his hand to shake hands with the short-haired woman in front of him.

Of course, he was just jokingly wondering if the guy would put glue on his hands or pick his nose without washing his hands, that was all.

After all, with that overwhelming stench of scum, if he hadn't known that Miss Lan was her manager, he would have thought she was a senior from some PAB department!

"Miss Keiko! You can't talk to Ms. Yu like that! She's clearly a kind person who came to help..."

Unable to bear it any longer, with a flushed face, Takahashi Ran hugged her manager and forcibly dragged her into the temporary rest room set up by the facilities team.

Ms. Yu, Mr. Kohei, and Iori are all kind people who gave up their own vacation time to help, and she absolutely cannot let the domineering manager ruin everyone's good intentions!

"Miss Lana, it's not advisable to be superstitious about metaphysics. Please trust my plan!"

"Hmm... I have a strange feeling that this pairing is a bit odd?"

"that is!"

Watching the manager struggle even as she was being dragged away, Miyazawa Yu had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this situation before!

Iori and Mana deeply sympathized with this, and if they remembered correctly, this definitely happened right around them...

All eyes were fixed on Kohei, making him break out in a cold sweat. They remembered that the last time they went to karaoke with Mizuki-san, Kohei was dragged away like this while she was shouting things like "Miss Kaori is the best in the world".

"...Without a doubt, she's the same type as Senior Zi! It seems like I've been targeted!"

The final verdict was made immediately, but Miyazawa Yu remained calm and unperturbed. After all, even Azusa-senpai had been subdued, so what was there to be afraid of?

Besides, he's not really interested in Miss Lan, so he shouldn't be seen as a competitor, right?

"Don't jump to conclusions so easily. I think there's a huge gap between me and Senior Zi!"

Holding up a finger, Kohei Imamura felt he was at risk of damaging his reputation, so he quickly explained, "Ms. Keiko's attitude towards Ms. Ran is clearly one of my pushing; she doesn't actually have any romantic feelings for her!"

"Huh? How do you explain what you just did?"

"It's probably because Miss Lan is too talkative, which made her feel insecure and led to her dissatisfaction?"

Frowning as he looked towards the lounge, Kohei Imamura couldn't draw a complete conclusion, after all, he just liked voice actors and wasn't obsessed with any one of them.

However, if things were to follow the anime's plot—"Yu! Be careful, you might get stabbed as soon as you open the door!"

"Hey! This is suddenly getting scary. Is it really that extreme?"

A chill ran from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Miyazawa Yu looked at Kohei with suspicion, wondering if the guy had gone crazy from watching anime. How could anyone in real life be so petty about such a small thing?

Besides, with Rana around, even if Oshima Keiko wanted to do something, she would definitely be stopped!

"Everyone! I'm sorry, I've already severely criticized Keiko, I'm truly very sorry!"

"No problem, may I ask if you have your proposal form...?"

Just as he was considering whether to order a chainmail for self-defense, he heard a voice behind him and turned around without any warning.

However, when he saw Takahashi Aina's condition, he froze on the spot as an astonishing chill began to spread from his heart, because Aina had a pair of scissors stuck in her chest.

A large amount of blood gushed from her chest, staining half of her white skirt red, which complemented the girl's pale but smiling face.

In addition, behind Lana, Keiko Oshima, covered in splattered blood, followed slowly with a vacant look in her eyes, holding a fruit knife that was more than ten centimeters long and dripping with blood in her hand.

"Oh no! Murder! Miss Lan, are you alright?"

A piercing scream rang in her ears. Yoshihara Aina was also startled by Aina's new look after turning around, and almost instinctively rushed over to check on her injuries.

However, this instantly shortened the distance between the suspect, Keiko Oshima, and Mana to less than two meters. Despite the shock of what they said coming true, Kohei Imamura and Yu Miyazawa started running at the same time and overtook her from behind!

"Aina, be careful! Miss Rana, are you alright? Have you started hallucinating from blood loss? It's not advisable for idols to casually reveal their real coordinates!"

"Stop! Stop right there! Don't come any closer!"

In the blink of an eye, she was enveloped in a warm embrace. Only then did Yoshihara Aina belatedly glance at Kohei, who was nervously holding her and Rana.

Peeking out again, she glanced at You, whose aura was fully unleashed and whose veins bulged all the way from her back to her buttocks. She should have been scared, but she was instantly filled with a sense of security!

"That's so nice~ Aina has so many people who love her."

"Hmm? It's nothing really~ Wait! Miss Ran, are you alright? Should we pull the knife out or leave it in?!"

"Don't worry, this thing is definitely fake!"

Two lines of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Lying in Mana's arms, Takahashi Ran yanked the scissors she was holding to her chest outwards, and a large amount of blood instantly sprayed out like a small fountain, staining the ground red.

"Look~"

"What the hell?! This is even more terrifying! He's already vomiting blood, is he really okay?"

Tears welled up instantly. Yoshihara Aina snatched the scissors, her hands trembling as she hesitated for two seconds. Then, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and stabbed hard into Takahashi Aina's chest!

She remembered seeing on TV that if you were stabbed and the knife was pulled out rashly, it could cause severe bleeding. So, if that's the case, then plugging it back in should be fine, right?

"Wait a minute! Hmm~!"

A sharp pain shot through her chest, and Takahashi Rana let out an embarrassing sound. As for the scissors that Mana had placed so much hope in, they were twisted into a pretzel.

Stunned, Yoshihara Aina tilted her head in confusion and plunged another sword into her chest.

"Huh? It looks like... paper?"

"That's right, these props are all made of cardboard pulp painted with paint! Aren't they exquisite?"

Clutching her chest, Takahashi Aina watched in astonishment as Aina perfectly withstood the injury with a steel plate before explaining, "So you didn't kill anyone, don't worry."

"The blood in his mouth?"

"It's actually a fake blood pack, but it's super easy to bite through, making it very inconvenient to talk!"

She opened her mouth and showed the plastic film stuck in her back molar. Soon, a staff member ran over with a basin and asked Takahashi Ran to spit the remaining blood into it.

"It's actually..."

"Fake?"

It was a false alarm. After recovering from the shock, Miyazawa Yu patted his heart, which had nearly jumped out of his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief that nothing had happened.

Honestly, the jokes these days are actually quite easy to tell apart. The problem is that Kohei keeps babbling on and on!

No sooner had I said something bad was going to happen than Lan came running over covered in blood. It would be strange if I wasn't alarmed!

"Are you alright, Yu? Relax, how could there be so many unexpected things when you're out having fun?"

"It's alright. By the way, Yamamoto, you guys weren't scared at all."

With Nanaka's help, Miyazawa Yu stood up again. He glanced at the others and was amazed to find that even Nojima and his group of idiots remained calm and composed.

After all, according to convention, the most normal reaction for these scumbags would be to run away immediately, right?

"Yes! That's right! How could such a small thing scare us!"

"Yu, don't underestimate others. You need to admit you still have a lot to work on your mentality!"
