Fushimi, Woof! Get Rid of Them!

Yukino's rosy lips slowly curled up, forming an unmistakably mocking smile, "Taking us to the premiere of another girl you're close to, do you think you should scold her?"

"That's right, you womanizer Fushimi, you really should reflect on yourself." Utaha crossed her legs, one of her small black-stockinged feet swinging back and forth.

Fushimi Makoto began to argue irrationally. "Putting aside the facts, doesn't anyone else bear any responsibility?"

Yukino and Utaha exchanged a glance and spoke almost simultaneously, "You're hopelessly stupid!"

At 7 p. m. that evening, all of Nakano Ichika's classmates and actors arrived one after another.

Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sawamura Sayuri also arrived on time, and Eriri Spencer Sawamura joined them.

Many people in the audience were dazzled by the sight of the five Nakano Family sisters, who had specially changed into elegant gowns and looked absolutely radiant on stage.

"So beautiful," murmured Yumiko sat next to Fushimi Makoto.

"You would look beautiful in a long dress like this," Fushimi Makoto said sincerely.

"Would you like to see me wear this style of long dress?" Yumiko asked happily, blushing.

Fushimi Makoto could answer, he was kicked.

Utaha, sitting to his right, looked at him with icy eyes.

Yumiko also saw this scene, turned her head, Fushimi Makoto, and met Utaha's gaze.

The conflict seemed poised to erupt at any moment.

"Quiet down, everyone. Tonight is Ichika's main performance," Fushimi Makoto said at the right moment.

Yumiko obediently looked away.

Utaha was stunned, seemingly finding it unbelievable.

She picked up her phone, looked at Yukino sitting with her mother and sister, and typed a message: [Didn't you notice something was off about Miura -kun before?]

Hearing the phone ring, Yukino picked it up, glanced at it, and then turned to look at Utaha.

Utaha nodded her chin at her and gestured with her eyes to Fushimi Makoto was standing next to Fushimi Makoto and looked as Yumiko as a kitten.

Yukino quickly replied: [We'll talk about it later.]

Utaha immediately understood; the other party didn't want to affect Ichika's premiere.

She quickly realized that she had just discovered a new enemy beside Fushimi Makoto, and her loss of composure was truly unacceptable.

After all, Yukino's calm and composed attitude just now was the "strongest" performance in Utaha's mind.

The term "strongest" naturally refers to the aura of the empress.

Utaha glanced thoughtfully at Yukino's retreating figure, thinking to herself that she had a lot to learn about aura.

After the staff on stage finished reading their prepared scripts, the five Nakano Family sisters sat down in the first row with their father.

They Fushimi Makoto, looking quite excited.

Fushimi Makoto in response. He understood the girls' feelings. Ichika worked her way up from a bit part to where she was now, and everyone could see her hard work.

That's why the two movies starring Ichika were able to be released today.

However, another low-budget horror film didn't have enough funding and didn't hold a premiere.

Chapter 417 Fushimi Woof, drive them away

As the movie began, the audience in the theater and the invited media all fell silent, and the entire surroundings became incredibly quiet.

The plot of this movie is simple: it tells the story of a young woman, played by Nakano Ichika, struggling to survive in bustling Tokyo with her younger sister who is in elementary school. Due to a family tragedy, Nakano Ichika is forced to take on multiple jobs to support the two of them.

But she didn't know that her younger sister had been able to see ghosts since she was a child, and could see those ghosts who were unwilling to be reincarnated because of their strong obsessions.

At Nakano Ichika thought her younger sister was having mental problems because of the death of their parents, so she took her to see a psychiatrist. It was during this scene that the younger sister said a line that caught the audience's attention, "The doctor is also pitiful. He can only stay here every day and can't go anywhere."

As the story unfolds, Nakano Ichika finally believes that her sister can see ghosts, and she also inadvertently realizes something. "Ghosts who are unwilling to reincarnate will be trapped in some place, never able to find peace."

Later, Nakano Ichika was reminded by her younger sister that her parents had not reincarnated either. They were worried about their two daughters and wanted to continue taking care of them, but because they were ghosts, they could not touch their daughters and were trapped in the house unable to leave.

In the story, Nakano Ichika recalls how she had argued with her parents many times because of her rebellious nature. Now, when she hears her younger sister mention that their parents have always been there for them, her feelings of regret and remorse begin to build.

It wasn't until she cried and said to her blind parents, "I can take care of myself and my sister now. I'm so sorry for all those years. I made so many mistakes. I'm sorry."

Her acting in this scene was flawless; her red, swollen eyes and trembling expression amazed many audience members and media personnel in the cinema.

"This is not the kind of acting skill one would expect for someone her age," one journalist remarked to their colleague in astonishment.

Utaha, standing next to Fushimi Makoto, was also visibly surprised. After a long while, she let out a soft breath and whispered to Fushimi Makoto, "She's really amazing."

"This is just the beginning; the real test of her acting skills will come later," Fushimi Makoto chuckled.

Later?

Utaha's feelings became increasingly complicated.

Based solely on the storyline up to this point, it's enough for her to develop a strong sense of admiration for Nakano Ichika.

Are there any other experts?

Yukino and her group, sitting in the front row, were also sighing inwardly, but they didn't share the complex emotions that Utaha had.

As for the five Nakano Family sisters and Nakano Maruo, they were completely immersed in the story, and tears welled up in the eyes of the girls.

The story quickly moves to the part where Fushimi Makoto reminds Utaha.

When her younger sister told Nakano Ichika that their parents were going to be reincarnated, her eyes trembled, as if she were afraid and conflicted. But in the end, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Have I made you proud all these years?"

She couldn't see ghosts, so naturally she couldn't hear her parents' responses.

Her younger sister chimed in, "Mom and Dad say you've always been their pride."

At this moment Nakano Ichika's emotions completely erupted, but it wasn't a heart-wrenching crying scene. Instead, she was desperately holding back her tears, trying not to worry her sister, and her crying was so intense it felt suffocating.

Sobbing could be heard coming from inside the movie theater.

Utaha stared blankly at the scene, unable to utter a sound.

As the story nears its end, Nakano Ichika continues to struggle in the city with her younger sister, but the camera then focuses on the psychologist.

The doctor was a little worried about the Nakano Ichika. When he tried to leave the clinic, he found that he couldn't get out at all.

At this moment, the younger sister's voiceover plays. "The doctor is pitiful too."

Many viewers suddenly realized that the doctor had been on the verge of death from the very beginning, but he was a good person, and his unwavering belief kept him going. It wasn't until he realized he couldn't leave the clinic that he understood he should leave.

The next moment, Fushimi Makoto stood up and applauded sincerely.

Others also stood up, and the movie theater erupted in applause.

The film crew and actors went on stage to bow to the audience in gratitude, and also brought small gifts.

The premiere concluded successfully.

"Based on this movie alone, she has already reached the pinnacle of actors her age." Sawamura Sayuri couldn't help but exclaim as she walked out of the movie theater.

Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded in agreement. Nakano Ichika's performance was so perfect that even she could immerse herself in the story through her acting.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, standing next to me, was holding a mirror and fixing her expression. Her eyes were red, clearly from crying during the movie.

Haruno then took Yukino's arm and fell behind, asking softly, "How much has Makoto helped Ichika?"

"A lot. Without that guy, her acting skills couldn't have improved so much in such a short time," Yukino said confidently.

Are you so sure?

"Because I had seen her work before, although she didn't have many lines or much screen time, her acting skills were still a bit immature back then."

"That's incredible."

Hearing her sister say that, Haruno's doubts were completely dispelled.

She knew her sister rarely joked, especially about things like this; her sister must have done serious research before daring to draw a conclusion.

"Seeing how outstanding Ichika, do you feel any pressure?" Haruno quickly regained her usual demeanor, smiling teasingly.

Yukino calmly shook her head. "My pressure doesn't come from her, it comes from myself."

"That's something you could really say." Haruno smiled. Ichika was excellent, but she and her sister were not on the same track.

Then, Haruno turned to look at a certain spot in the movie theater. "The ones who are truly feeling the pressure are probably her sisters."

Yukino followed her sister's gaze and turned her head. The five Nakano Family sisters and their father were being interviewed together, Fushimi Makoto stood by like a bystander.

Because of Nakano Ichika's perfect performance, Nakano Maruo even managed a rare smile today, though he still looked a bit stiff.

He first solemnly expressed his gratitude to Fushimi Makoto, and as he left, this old-fashioned man said to his daughters with a serious expression, "I am also proud of you."

What was supposed to be a touching scene of father-daughter affection turned into a mischievous laugh as Ichika said, "So Daddy can say things like that?"

Nakano Nino laughed non-stop, "Although I was also touched, the contrast with my father was so great that it made me feel a little embarrassed for some reason."

Hearing his daughters' teasing, Nakano Maruo awkwardly suppressed his smile, but he was still very happy inside.

The next day at noon, Nakano Maruo specially took time to hold a celebration banquet for his daughter, and the entire filming crew, led by Fushimi Makoto, naturally attended.

During this time, Hayato Hayama pulled Fushimi Makoto aside and said, "The first-day box office results are in, and Ichika- san's movie has successfully topped the charts."

He showed a rare burst of excitement towards the end.

Fushimi Makoto glanced at Nakano Ichika, who was being fawned over, and chuckled, "It's too early to get excited."

"Huh? Aren't you satisfied with this result?"

"Our filming team has been building up momentum for Ichika for so long, it would be such a waste if we didn't win a weekly or monthly championship."

"... You're exaggerating."

As it turns out, Fushimi Makoto wasn't exaggerating this time.

Nakano Ichika has never lacked exposure since she became famous online, and her popularity has remained very stable.

Her acting in this movie was phenomenal, finally making everyone realize just how outstanding this high school girl was.

With the movie generating a lot of buzz, the production company happily increased its promotional budget, Nakano Maruo and Mrs. Yukinoshita also secretly helped out.

By January, the weekly and monthly championships that Fushimi Makoto had mentioned to Hayato Hayama had all been achieved by the movie starring Nakano Ichika.

Ironically, another low-budget horror film starring Nakano Ichika actually had a mediocre plot, but the director of that film took a "shortcut."

Since our script is terrible, let's use editing techniques to give Nakano Ichika more screen time and fully showcase her beauty.

It was precisely because of this shortcut, coupled with the popularity of Nakano Ichika, that the movie actually made a lot of money in the end.

Now, whenever someone praises Nakano Ichika's beauty and cuteness online, someone will always post stills from that mediocre horror movie. This kind of influence Fushimi Makoto of the female celebrity he knew before he transmigrated— Asuka Saito.

He hadn't actually seen any of the actress's work. But thanks to the cute GIFs and video clips posted by netizens, he remembered her for a very long time and still hasn't forgotten her to this day.

The happiest person about the film's success is undoubtedly Nakano Ichika.

To thank Fushimi Makoto, she specially chose a weekend in January to buy several sexy or cute outfits in advance.

Catgirl, bunny girl, maid, gothic outfit... Nakano Ichika Fushimi Makoto could think of.

It was precisely because of her diligent "squeezing" that her physical functions improved significantly when the winter vacation ended in mid-January.

She no longer needs things like the [Powerful Red Bull] that Fushimi Makoto prepared for her.

"I can do it all day long!"

On one occasion, while lying in Fushimi Makoto's arms, she spoke with full confidence and energy.

Nakano Ichika "forced" Fushimi Makoto, forcing him to repeatedly decline the two women's invitations to go shopping.

After the holidays ended, Nakano Ichika was so busy signing autographs for her classmates at school that her hand was sore. With her shining so brightly, the other girls became even more competitive.

After school that day, Fushimi Makoto into Yukino on his way to the clubroom. She seemed to have been waiting for him.

"My sister is looking for you. She messaged me this afternoon saying she wants to invite you to dinner." Sure enough, her words confirmed Fushimi Makoto's guess.

"What does Haruno- nee want with me?" Fushimi Makoto walked side by side with her, and the surrounding classmates were already used to it.

Yukino suddenly turned her head and Fushimi Makoto with a critical look. "She said it was a promise between the two of you, and she wouldn't tell me."

"Oh, I see." Fushimi Makoto remained completely unfazed, even stroking his chin and muttering seriously, "She's going to use me as a tool again."

Yukino wanted to speak but stopped.

Fushimi Makoto sighed again, "Someone clearly wants to know, but just won't ask, so I won't tell either."

Yukino's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "What do you mean by 'tool'?"

"Huh? So you can actually ask that question?"
