Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

"Then chop the vegetables for me!"

Seeing the girl taking advantage of his kindness, Sato smiled bitterly to himself, but his movements remained swift.

With the boy's help, the cooking went very smoothly.

He also discovered that Taozi actually knew how to cook; at least she could cook all kinds of ingredients properly without burning them.

That alone makes him better than most people.

It's not bad to eat as long as you don't put too much seasoning in it.

"Sato-kun, my manager said he can give me a magazine~ It'll be named after me~! There'll also be a song with lyrics by Akimoto Yasushi, and a movie where I'm the lead actor~"

"But my dad said I can only go to class after I graduate next year! The earliest I can debut is the year after next."

Having witnessed the colorful world, the girl, bursting with excitement and eager to share her thoughts, couldn't wait to debut.

I stirred the soup faster, as if creating a small whirlpool in it.

However, she did have reason to be excited; such treatment would be considered heaven-defying in the Reiwa era.

Even if placed here, it wouldn't be outdone.

You have to understand, Sato risked his life to get this fifth-ranked role, working hard for a whole month.

Peach, on the other hand, is the main character right from the start, and not only that, but she also has lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and a new magazine.

Compared to him, one is a celestial fairy and the other is a humble villager.

If the original owner were here, perhaps his Dao heart would truly be shattered.

Even though Sato had anticipated this, hearing it now still left him with mixed feelings.

If he doesn't want to fall behind in the peaches, he needs to become a lead actor as soon as possible.

But he is not a peach after all; he cannot rise to the top in one step. He can only climb up step by step.

It was difficult before, but now the possibility is much greater.

Perhaps a year from now, when Taozi debuts, he will have already established himself.

Of course, he was happy for Taozi, because Taozi's advancement was also beneficial to him, since the two of them had a pretty good relationship.

Seeing that Sato seemed lost in thought, Momoko teased, "Is Sato-nii jealous?"

Beneath her seemingly relaxed tone, Momoko felt a growing sense of panic. She had gotten carried away and forgotten that Sato-nii was still just an extra.

Compared to what she said, Sato-san seems far removed from reality.

Sato-kun might be upset and angry, right?

Despite inwardly blaming himself for his carelessness, the boy continued chopping vegetables without stopping.

"It's alright. Besides, I'm not just an extra anymore. I'll be a fifth-billed character in the next season of Shadow Legion."

He wasn't saying this to show off.

However, at least I need to show that I have the same level of strength as her in order to deepen our friendship.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for someone who's just an extra and someone who's a rising star to be friends.

Just like he and Yakushimaru before.

We're from different circles, so we can't even have a proper conversation.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Peach threw away her spoon and turned to look at him excitedly: "The Shadow Legion!?"

In the already cramped small kitchen, the other person's startled reaction caused their shoulder to bump into his chest.

It felt like she was hugging him.

"Ah... um..."

Startled by the other person's sudden outburst, Sato nodded, leaning his shoulder closer to the wall, and reminded them, "Keep a close eye on the fire!"

"My parents really like watching this! It's the one Chiba-chan starred in, right?!"

The girl ignored the second half of Sato's sentence and continued excitedly.

Chiba-chan... Although I know that's her nickname among fans, Sato still feels a bit out of place thinking about how such a powerful figure is called "chan".

However, this also indirectly proves the other party's popularity.

"That's the one."

"Hey! My parents will definitely change their opinion of you after seeing this!"

"They even bought a video recorder specifically to record it and watch it repeatedly."

Peach said excitedly.

That's a show they love. If they see a tenant they look down on appear in it, they'll definitely change their opinion of Sato!

"Why are you even more excited than I am...?"

Sato remained calm upon hearing this, but a wry smile appeared on his face as he looked at the excited Momoko.

He didn't take this role to gain the approval of Peach's parents.

Whether they respect themselves or not, they still have to pay rent.

Could I possibly become a live-in son-in-law?

Chapter 27 Let's live with Momoko

"Of course I'm excited!"

"You have no idea! They use you as a negative example to educate Taozi every day!"

"Now that Sato-nii has finally gotten his revenge, Momoko can finally give him a piece of her mind!"

Upon hearing Momoko's words, Sato's lips twitched slightly.

Speaking of which, didn't he have a bit too much screen time at the Kikuchi family's house?

Besides, everyone else is someone else's child, so why is he considered a negative example?

However, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

After all, if he really wanted to dissuade his daughter from entering the entertainment industry, wouldn't he be a prime example of someone who lives in the lowest-class housing and has been a perennial extra?

However, he eventually managed to extricate himself from that muddy mess.

It took him a lot of effort, and there may be many difficulties ahead, but he will eventually become someone else's child.

Of course, making money is more important.

He doesn't care too much about other people's children.

"wrong!!!"

Momoko's exclamation startled Sato, who was lost in thought.

"What's wrong now?"

Sato was speechless as he looked at the loud and boisterous girl.

"So... is Sato-nii moving out?"

An actor with a prominent position in the cast earns a lot of money, so it's clear that continuing to live here is not in line with Sato Ryo's future status and position.

Just like some of the prestigious university students who used to live here.

As soon as I graduated and found a good job, I moved away.

After all, housing is strongly correlated with social status.

Although Peach is still young, as a landlady, she has seen many similar situations since she was a child and naturally understands the reality behind them.

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly felt that the rich soup base in front of her no longer smelled good.

"Not so fast, let's talk about it after things stabilize."

Sato shook his head.

According to the settings of some novels, his cultivation level has just been raised and is not yet stable, so there are precedents of him falling back.

Moreover, the company doesn't know if it can be saved, or whether it should be saved. If it can't, finding a new company would just waste time.

He certainly wouldn't let himself fall back, and it seems unlikely at the moment.

But for him, seeking stability meant first and foremost consolidating his own position.

So what he needs to do now is to make himself more handsome and improve his acting skills and physique.

As for moving, we'll put it on hold for now.

Moving in a hurry is not advisable. Doing so means leaving no way out, not to mention wasting the money you've worked so hard to earn.

Don't be reckless, play it safe first.

"Oh~"

Momoko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Sato's words.

The girl's thoughts were simple; she just wanted the boy to still live there so she could come back again in the future.
