My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

"Phew~ It's finally a bit easier."

Just as Naoto had predicted, after passing through several popular sites, the number of people finally started to decrease.

Although there are still no seats available, at least compared to before, it has finally returned to normal commuting after the Spring Festival travel rush.

Exhausted, Enka almost collapsed to the ground after losing her support.

At that moment, Nanko caught Enka in time, preventing her from falling flat on her face on the train.

"Are you OK?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

With Nanko's help, Enka glanced at the platform schedule on the train again and discovered that it would take another half hour to get to her destination.

Seeing no suspicious people, and feeling unbearably hot, Enka had no choice but to take off her hat and mask.

At this moment, Enka was still paying attention to the reactions of the people around her.

However, she found that even Naoto and Nanako, who were watching her, did not show any extra expression. This made Enka feel a little disappointed even as she breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that now that she had some fame, she could at least experience what it was like to be a big star.

It turns out that none of the people on that train knew her.

"Young man, it's so hot, you shouldn't be wearing such thick clothes. Is there something wrong with your health?"

At this moment, Naoto looked at Enka, who had taken off her disguise. Although she was quite pretty and would be considered a school beauty, there was no need for her to dress up like this.

Nowadays, straight people can't just take a picture and ask online who this is.

So, the straight man instinctively assumed that this was a beautiful girl with health problems.

Nanko was speechless at Naoto's idea.

Is it really okay for my boyfriend to be so oblivious sometimes? What kind of thought process does he have to realize that it's because of a physical reason?

However, at this moment, Nanzi also used her mind-reading ability to know the identity of the girl in front of her.

What impressed Nanzi was that being an idol must be so tough.

Even on such a hot day, one must dress so conservatively.

Thinking about how many days are left in the future, it's actually quite scary.

At this moment, Nanko also looked to the other side. The paparazzi who had been acting suspiciously earlier was now pretending to play with his phone, pointing the camera at Enka.

Meanwhile, Enka looked speechlessly at Naoto, who had a worried expression on his face.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just a little tired from work lately. I'll rest for a bit after I go out."

"Huh? They've started working at such a young age? That must be tough."

At this moment, Naoto was still marveling at how young the girl in front of him had started working, without giving a second thought to the idol industry that he had considered before.

"Yes, it's really tough after starting work."

Just then, Enka suddenly noticed the paparazzi in the distance, who had already pointed their phone cameras at her.

"Oops!"

The moment she saw the paparazzi, Enka instinctively covered her face with her hands.

But we were still a step too slow.

By this time, the paparazzi had already taken photos of Enka talking to Naoto, looking like they had succeeded.

"What's going on?"

Naoto, seeing Madoka's expression, turned around in confusion and immediately spotted the paparazzi taking pictures.

At this point, Naoto thought that this person was some kind of pervert who secretly took pictures of young girls.

After all, during this period, people everywhere have been telling girls to be more careful about this kind of thing.

Recently, perverts have become more cautious and are now using video recordings to commit their acts. This method is highly covert and makes it easy to erase evidence, resulting in many victims.

At this moment, the first reaction of a straight person is that the other person is the kind of person who specializes in taking photos.

Normally, straight people would choose to avoid trouble. But for scum like this, straight people certainly won't let it go!

At this moment, the paparazzi's expression changed immediately after he realized that Naoto was looking over.

If this isn't handled properly, I'm afraid I'll end up in jail.

As a professional paparazzo, how could I possibly surrender without a fight?

Just then, Naoto was about to grab the man's hand when the train stopped.

Taking advantage of Naoto's momentary loss of balance due to the train's stop, the paparazzi shoved Naoto aside and rushed outside without a second thought.

Faced with the paparazzi suddenly rushing out, many people who wanted to get into the car were knocked to the ground before they could react.

Seeing that this person was actually trying to run away out of guilt, Naoto became even more certain that this person was not a good person.

As someone trained in socialism, how could I tolerate such a thing happening? I rushed out as well.

However, there were just too many people at the station, and since Naoto didn't dare to rush around like the other person, he lost sight of the other person after only a few minutes.

"Damn it, where did that person go?"

Looking at the dense crowd around him, Naoto felt a little anxious.

Wouldn't it be terrible if that person got away?

However, Naoto was unaware that the paparazzi had taken advantage of the large crowd to hide in the crowd and escape Naoto's sight.

At this point, he was still thinking of blending into the crowd and getting back into the car.

With his extensive experience, he already knew all the tricks of the trade. In general, you should never race against others in this situation. If you can outrun them, all is well; if you can't, you'll die on the spot.

Just when this person thought he could get away with it, he didn't expect that another person was already standing in front of him.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Just then, the paparazzi suddenly realized that someone had grabbed his hand without him noticing.

At this moment, Nanzi stood quietly in front of him, her right hand tightly gripping his wrist.

"Let me go! You brat!"

The paparazzi completely disregarded the seemingly frail pink-haired girl in front of them.

But the next moment, a tremendous force forced him to his knees, nearly breaking his hand.

"Ouch! Ouch! Let go!"

The excruciating pain caused the paparazzi to beg for mercy, and their actions attracted the attention of those around them.

However, Nanzi completely ignored the man's pleas for mercy. With her mind-reading ability, Nanzi knew exactly what the man was thinking.

"drink!"

To everyone's astonishment, Nanzi actually executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw on the paparazzo who was a head taller than her. The force was so great that it looked painful to watch.

At this moment, Naoto stood on the stairs, looking at the majestic Nanako, and suddenly felt that Nanako was too cool. No wonder she was his girlfriend. Long live Queen Nanako!

"Thank you both for your help in catching this person. Thank you very much."

"It's nothing, it's what we should do. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

After Nanzi slammed a certain unfortunate paparazzi to the ground, the nearby police were quickly alerted.

After investigation and evidence collection, and with confirmation from Enka, the police quickly identified the man as a notorious paparazzi.

The police officers who arrived were also furious about this kind of person. They immediately took him away and sent him to the police station. Before leaving, they asked about Naoto and Nanko's information and said that they would write a thank-you letter to the school later.

Meanwhile, the police officers looked at the petite Nanzi with some doubt. How could this girl have managed to break four or five bones in an adult male? It was even more outrageous that she had used an over-the-shoulder throw.

Nanko didn't say anything about it, but Naoto was quite happy. This was the first time in so many years that he had been thanked by a police officer.

"Thank you both so much for your help. I really don't know what I would have done without you two."

Even after leaving the police station, Enka continued to thank Nanako and Naoto.

At this point, Naoto probably also learned about Madoka's identity. It was truly unexpected that the two of them would encounter their idol while traveling on a train. This world is truly amazing.

"It's okay, everyone needs help sometimes. But next time, it's best to have your manager take you. It would be terrible if something happened to you on your own."

"Yes, I will be more careful next time."

Although Madoka is not usually very nice to her producer, she is very polite to others.

Enka was deeply moved by the kind-hearted couple, Naoto and Nanako. It seems there are still more good people in this world.

After exchanging contact information with Enka, the two immediately headed towards the editorial office.

The time lost on the train and at the police station had already made the two of them a little late.

To prevent any further accidents, Naoto had no choice but to have Nanako take him to the top floor of the editorial office, and then quietly went inside the office.

When Naoto and Nanako appeared in the editorial department, the surrounding editors were quite startled. Why did these two come down from upstairs? Were they upstairs the whole time?

"Naoto, Kusunoki! You're finally here! Come on over here!"

While the editors were wondering what was going on, only Qi Mu's father realized what was happening and quickly led the two away.

"Where did you two go?"

On the way, Qi Mu's father kept quietly asking the two what exactly was going on.

You should know that the staff of J.C. Staff had been waiting for more than half an hour.

Along the way, the two were given a thorough scolding. After all, in Japan, being late is taken very seriously. Fortunately, after some explanation, the staff at J.C. Staff expressed their understanding, since this kind of behavior is generally encouraged in any country.

"I really didn't expect that ONE-sensei would be so young. I heard you're only just starting high school?"

"It's alright, compared to the others, I'm considered one of the older ones."

Naoto had a very good first impression of the person in charge named Matsuyama who came this time.

Matsuyama always had a kind smile on his face, and with his slightly chubby face, he seemed quite approachable.

Especially her personality of immediately trying to get close to him, which eased Naoto's somewhat tense mood.
