I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema

Chapter 152 Koyama Yoshiji was thrilled by the compliments~
Inside Studio Three, the brief controversy sparked by the top idol quickly subsided.

Under Keina Tanaka's decisive command, all the staff members, like precision instruments that had been wound up again, returned to their respective posts in an orderly manner.

Lights, sound, cameras... everything quickly returned to normal operation with astonishing efficiency.

It was as if the farce that had just been filled with tension was nothing more than a harmless interlude in a stage play.

The young man who had single-handedly quelled everything was now acting as if nothing had happened. He walked through the noisy and busy work area and slowly entered the front row of the audience seats, which had been specially separated to offer the best view.

There sat his warmest concern in this cold city.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You're here!"

Before he could even get close, a charming figure full of youthful energy, like a little sunbird that had discovered a sunflower, came running up to him with a fragrant breeze.

Koyama Yumesae's big, dark eyes were staring at him intently, her pretty face filled with fervent adoration.

"Brother-in-law! You were absolutely stunning! So cool! You were incredibly charismatic!"

Like a squirrel showing off its treasure, she gestured excitedly, her voice clear and melodious, full of the exaggeration and sincerity unique to young girls: "That so-called big star, in front of you, is just like a primary school student being scolded by the headmaster! Look at the way he looked at the end, his face turned white! It was so satisfying! I've decided, from today onwards, you are my only idol!"

This straightforward praise, brimming with fangirl vibes, brought a helpless smile to Hiroshi Nohara's face.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

What man wouldn't love to be worshipped in such a pure and passionate way by a beautiful young woman?

Yeah, it's a pity she's my sister-in-law. It's like how it's a pity Bilibili isn't another BDSM site... (Respect to the pinned comment, it's truly a shame).
"Guangzhi-kun."

A voice so gentle it seemed to melt your heart rang out.

Hiroshi Nohara then saw Misae Koyama's pretty face, which was filled with pride and love.

Unlike her sister, she wasn't boisterous; she simply stood there quietly, her large, watery eyes like two lakes filled with starlight, gently enveloping him completely.

She reached out her soft, boneless hand and naturally straightened his already impeccably tailored collar. The warmth emanating from her fingertips carried more weight than any words could express.

That look in his eyes seemed to say—my man is just that amazing!
"Cough! Cough-cough-cough!"

In this warm and sweet atmosphere, a loud cough, full of warning, broke the tranquility at the worst possible time.

Yoshiharu Koyama, the representative of the education sector in Kumamoto Prefecture and the head of the "Friends and Family Support Group," was wearing a stern face at that moment.

Those sharp eyes, typical of a headmaster, were like two drawn daggers, stabbing fiercely at the youngest daughter, who was still clinging to her prospective son-in-law's arm, oblivious to the world's dangers.

"Koyama Yumesae!"

His voice, trembling with suppressed anger, screamed: "What kind of behavior is this?! No respect for elders! Let go right now! Your brother-in-law is an elder! You need to learn to respect him! Do you understand?!"

"Oh dear, honey, why are you yelling at me again?" The mother, Koyama Takaya, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She sighed helplessly, reached out and gave her unruly little daughter's arm a light pinch, her face full of reproach: "Mengsai, listen to your father. Don't keep bothering your brother-in-law. He just finished work and he's tired."

"Oh……"

Koyama Yumesae pouted her cherry-like lips in grievance. Although she was unwilling, she obediently let go of his hand and retreated to the side like a defeated kitten.

However, a warm and enthusiastic greeting, full of local flavor, suddenly rang out from behind them without warning!

"Oh my! This must be... Captain Nohara?!"

A burly middle-aged man, dressed in a red blanket printed with "Kumamoto will win," who looked like the leader of the cheering squad, was rushing towards them with a huge "sea of ​​red" behind him, looking very excited!

"Minister Nohara! Hello, hello! I'm Kenta Yamada, the president of the Aso City Agricultural Association in Kumamoto Prefecture! I... I'm a huge fan of yours!"

Chairman Yamada's sun-darkened face was now filled with the excitement and fervor of seeing his idol. His large, fan-like hands tightly gripped the still-stunned Hiroshi Nohara's hand, shaking it up and down.

"Your 'Super Transformation' is loved by everyone in Kumamoto Prefecture, from old ladies to little kids! It's so...so interesting! Especially the regional competition! It's simply...a stroke of genius! Kumamoto Prefecture's qualification for the finals this time is all thanks to you!"

This sudden enthusiasm left Hiroshi Nohara somewhat bewildered.

However, before he could even exchange a few polite words, the "dean of students" who had just been scolding his daughter with a stern face had already straightened his back like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"Ahem! Chairman Yamada, although our Hiroshi Nohara is the overall person in charge of this program, he is also a department head at TV Tokyo. There are some things you shouldn't say carelessly!"

Yoshiji Koyama walked forward unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, his face bearing the poise and pride of a civil servant that he had practiced a thousand times over.

He pointed to the young man who looked helpless and said slowly in a tone that seemed calm but was actually full of boasting:

"We must be fair, you know? Even if he's my second daughter's boyfriend, we can't bend the law for personal gain!"

"Eh?!"

"Nani?!"

"Mr. Koyama! You...you mean...this legendary Nohara-nohara is...your...future son-in-law?!"

These words were like a bombshell, exploding throughout the entire Kumamoto Prefecture support group!

Everyone stared at Yoshiji Koyama as if he were a monster, then at Misae Koyama, who was already blushing furiously and wished she could disappear into the ground. On their faces, there was only undisguised, unfathomable shock and...envy!
"Oh dear! Mr. Xiaoshan, you...you're really not being fair! You have such a capable son-in-law, why didn't you tell us sooner!"

"Exactly! This is the pride of our entire Kumamoto Prefecture!"

"No wonder Miss Misae is so beautiful, it turns out she's...it turns out she's Captain Nohara's girlfriend! A perfect match! A match made in heaven!"

In an instant, all sorts of praise and compliments came raining down on Yoshiharu Koyama as if they were free!
His usually stern face was now completely filled with an unyielding, smug smile, like that of an old fox.

He even waved his hand in a deliberately profound manner, saying in a tone full of Versailles-like anxieties, "Well, young people have their own ideas, and we elders can't interfere too much. As long as they're happy, that's all that matters."

Seeing that he was acting all innocent after getting the benefit, Misae Koyama's cheeks turned so red they almost bled.

Only Hiroshi Nohara, seeing his future father-in-law already immersed in the joy of being flattered and unable to extricate himself, still smiled and responded to each compliment.

"Dear uncles and aunts, you are too kind."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a clear spring, instantly calming all the restlessness in the room: "I'm just an ordinary audience member today, so my opinion doesn't count. It's all up to the judges and everyone's popularity vote. But today's main characters are the contestants representing our Kumamoto Prefecture, so let's cheer them on together."

These words not only positioned him well but also subtly drew everyone's attention back to the game itself.

That composed demeanor, that maturity and composure far beyond his years, made the fellow Kumamoto natives present secretly admire him.

"As expected of Captain Nohara!"

"Yes! Such poise at such a young age! She'll definitely be an outstanding person in the future!"

"Teacher Xiaoshan, you've really struck gold!"

Chairman Yamada slapped his thigh hard, his dark face filled with heartfelt admiration and emotion: "Minister Nohara, to be honest, we saw it all backstage! When you... when you reprimanded that big star, your aura was... even more imposing than the governor of Kumamoto Prefecture!"

These words drew a burst of good-natured laughter from those around them.

As Yoshiharu Koyama listened to the sincere praise around him and watched the young man who remained calm and composed amidst the crowd, his fatherly heart was filled with pride at that moment.

Their daughter had truly found a man who could make her, and their entire Xiaoshan family, proud for the rest of their lives!
