Are You Really Not Dating Him?

Today we're filming the scene Nakano Ichika's character, the granddaughter, is sexually assaulted by her grandmother, so we chose to film outdoors.

There were quite a few passersby watching, some of whom had come specifically through the group's account.

Not far away, a black luxury sedan pulled up.

The person who got off the train was Mrs. Yukinoshita.

Her driver stayed in the car; her husband was busy today, so she came by herself.

This was her first time Fushimi Makoto and his crew.

She had previously tried to get people to pay attention to her, but she hadn't come in person yet.

"These kids actually persevered, and Hayato came to help every day. It seems they weren't just joking around."

Mrs. Yukinoshita walked forward with a sense of surprise. When she found that there were quite a few people watching and that everyone was excitedly discussing something, she decided to go up and listen.

As she approached, the voice of an obese man rang out. "Good morning. I know you don't believe me, but I can assure you that once that most charismatic young man starts speaking, you'll immediately believe me and be determined to lose weight with me."

His friend clearly didn't believe him. "Stop joking, I know you perfectly well. You've been saying you want to lose weight for two years now, but you never stick to it."

"I'm serious this time. Lately, I've been watching these kids whenever I have time. Every time that boy encourages his friends, I get encouraged by his words too. You probably don't know, but I've been secretly exercising for a week now."

"Is it really that powerful?" His friend was wavering.

Listening to their conversation, Mrs. Yukinoshita could guess that the boy they were talking about was Fushimi Makoto.

Does Makoto always encourage everyone before filming?

This aligns well with my impression of him as a mature person.

Mrs. Yukinoshita.

She admired their conversation, but she didn't take it to heart.

After all, encouragement from young people has absolutely no effect on a mature woman like her who has weathered many storms.

That's what she thinks.

Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't go over to disturb Fushimi Makoto; she simply stood there and looked around.

Then, she heard many similar comments to those of the two people she had just heard.

"I come here whenever I'm feeling down; that boy's words were really powerful."

"Me too. Ever since he inspired me last time, I successfully won back my girlfriend."

"So everyone is like that? Indeed, the most powerful things in the world are human words and courage."

"Meow!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita was surprised to find that not only did these people have a high opinion of Fushimi Makoto, but there was also a chubby orange cat sitting on the ground, seemingly waiting attentively.

She observed it for a while and noticed that the orange cat's fur was very dirty, clearly indicating it was a stray. There were also areas of severe hair loss, likely from being bitten during a territorial fight.

Even though the orange cat was covered in wounds, it sat obediently among the crowd, concentrating intently.

Like loyal soldiers awaiting orders from their general.

Just then, Mrs. Yukinoshita heard someone excitedly exclaim, "It's starting! It's starting!"

She quickly turned her head.

At that very moment, she caught a glimpse of a very familiar car parked by the roadside out of the corner of her eye.

The front window was rolled down, revealing Nakano Maruo's face.

Just then, the other party also looked over. The two parents nodded to each other and then continued to look at Fushimi Makoto and his group.

"I'll say it again, everyone, please remember, even if we make mistakes, even if we don't do things perfectly, please don't be afraid. If someone doesn't even have the courage to take the first step, then let alone cross the ocean, we probably won't even have the courage to say goodbye to the shore..."

Under Fushimi Makoto's steady voice, [Nakano Nino's Gift] spread out completely, covering every person and every animal within its range.

Mrs. Yukinoshita initially just found the boy's speech interesting.

But as she listened, she felt as if a fire was burning inside her chest.

Even she unconsciously straightened her slender waist, her eyes becoming incredibly ardent.

After Fushimi Makoto finished his pre-match encouragement speech, many of the people who had been watching around Mrs. Yukinoshita also left.

"I'm motivated to stick to my diet again!"

"Let's go to the gym. It's time to change our out-of-shape bodies."

"I must study hard and get into University of Tokyo."

"Meow meow meow!"

A group of incredibly enthusiastic people walked away resolutely with a cat.

Mrs. Yukinoshita clutched her heart, her chest heaving rapidly, unlike Yukino's sparse yet full bosom, clearly showing that she was unable to calm down.

I seem to have shown too little concern for Yukino, and not been direct enough. She must have had times over the years when she was secretly suffering alone, right?

Mrs. Yukinoshita soft sigh of relief; her resolve had been strengthened.

At least for today, I should show more of my maternal side to Yukino.

As she took out her phone to instruct the driver to buy a gift for the visitor, Nakano Maruo, sitting in the car on the other side, clenched his fist.

"Many times I could easily make time for them, but I worry they'd feel awkward around me, and I always struggle with that."

Nakano Maruo murmured.

His driver then firmly said, "Mr. Nakano, you should seize this opportunity and complete the filming with your child."

"Together?"

"That's right. As a parent, if you do something together with your child, something your child enjoys and is actively engaged in, it will strengthen the bond between you."

"I see."

Nakano Maruo adjusted his glasses, opened the car door, and walked resolutely toward the filming location.

Both parents decided to change themselves.

So, just as Fushimi Makoto was about to start filming, Nakano Maruo appeared before everyone.

"Dad?"

Not only were Ichika and Itsuki, who were already in character, surprised, but even Nino, who came to visit the set, stood up.

Nakano Maruo nodded to his daughters first, then said gently to Fushimi Makoto, "Is there anything I can do?"

Fushimi Makoto was taken aback. So you'd been eavesdropping the whole time?

He could tell from the other person's resolute demeanor that Nakano Maruo had also been "enhanced".

Nakano Maruo, still with his unusually gentle tone, said, "I've been watching carefully, and I noticed that you're handling a lot of things by yourself, Fushimi-kun. Although I know that high school students are at their most energetic stage, I think I can help you with some of the work."

Then, he looked at his daughters, who were completely stunned. "Besides, I also really want to do something with the children."

Ichika and the others' eyes softened immediately, and they felt a surge of emotion.

This was the first time they had ever seen their father express his concern so directly.

Fushimi Makoto had no reason to refuse. "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's what I should do." Nakano Maruo shook his head.

Yukino, standing behind the camera, watched this scene, her eyes flickering a few times.

She could sense the envy in her heart.

Even if only for a moment.

Just as Fushimi Makoto teaching Nakano Maruo how to use lighting, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Yukino."

Yukino turned around in surprise, only to see Mrs. Yukinoshita time ever. "Go ahead and do it, do what you think is right, your father and I will definitely support you."

"Mother, how could you...?"

Yukino's words were cut short.

She turned abruptly and glanced at Fushimi Makoto.

Did that guy secretly contact his mother?

If it weren't for him, why would my mother have made a special trip to see me?

Yukino took a deep breath, raised her head, and smiled beautifully and confidently, "I'll do well."

Nakano Ichika continued her exceptional performance today, perfectly capturing the details of surprise and excitement on the grandmother's face after she and her granddaughter switched bodies in the story.

Even Nino, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but mutter, "No matter how you look at it, Ichika is a professional actress."

As the female protagonist of the story, Nakano Ichika is undoubtedly the one who attracts the most attention today.

During the break, Nakano Maruo chatted with his daughters, Mrs. Yukinoshita had the driver deliver the drinks and snacks she had bought, continuing to stay by Yukino's side.

Fushimi Makoto has no past.

Although the arrival of these two parents today was purely coincidental, the fact that they were affected by their own buffs was an even greater coincidence.

But he could also see that Ichika and the others, as well as Yukino, were all very satisfied and happy at that moment.

So he simply stood alone under the tree, not wanting to disturb the other person.

Not long after, Yukino came over with a bottle of juice.

"For you."

"Thank you. Why don't you continue chatting with Auntie? She seems to be in a good mood today."

Yukino didn't reply, her beautiful eyes filled with a faint smile as she watched Fushimi Makoto unscrew the bottle cap. She then lowered her voice and said with a smile, "Would you like to come to my place for a bit after filming?"

Fushimi Makoto paused in his drinking. "Aren't you going to eat with your aunt?"

Yukino generously stated, "She wants me to do what she thinks is right, and coincidentally, I believe what I'm doing now is right."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Very pretty and cute.

Her eyes and tone of voice both conveyed: I want to improve.

So, she'd be willing to let someone play with her legs while she's making progress.

Fushimi Makoto exclaimed sincerely, "Brother, you smell really good today."

Yukino: "..."

Suddenly, I no longer wanted to invite him to my house.

Chapter 89 Are you and him really not dating?

"Thank you all for your hard work today."

After filming wrapped, Fushimi Makoto said goodbye to the others as usual, then turned to clean up the set.

He not only tidied up the equipment, but also the trash bags that everyone had put in their trash after eating and drinking.

The [Nakano Nino's Gift] buff has faded, but neither Nakano Maruo nor Mrs. Yukinoshita, the two matriarchs, have left.

Fushimi Makoto observed them closely and noticed that both of them had a brief look of surprise on their faces, as if they were wondering about something.

But when the two parents' daughters stepped forward, they stopped thinking about it.

In any case, the girls from the Nakano Family and the Yukinoshita Family did everything very well today.

Nakano Ichika needs no introduction; she's an actress with a certain level of skill. Although she's still a newbie, Fushimi Makoto has been laying a foundation for her. With today's buff, Ichika's enhanced acting skills are more than enough to impress everyone present.

Nakano Itsuki didn't have many things to do, but she did them all well, and she was meticulous and thorough, without any oversights.

Yukino the most capable person besides Fushimi Makoto. She can not only work as a photographer, but also as a lighting technician and even a script supervisor.

The classmates that Fushimi Makoto and Hayato Hayama called for help were also strengthened, and everyone did their job well.

All of this really happened; it's impossible for Nakano Maruo and Mrs. Yukinoshita not to have seen it.

"Small workshops really do need some drastic measures."

Fushimi Makoto packed up his equipment, he couldn't help but smile as he thought of Nino's mission reward.

This thing is really powerful.
