Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

[Hiroko Yakushimaru: I was most impressed by Ryo Sato during this shoot. His acting was so good that everyone on set was stunned. Tanabe-san was right; the most important thing in acting is immersion.]

Tanabe's interview didn't explicitly state it, but it was clear he wanted to reverse cause and effect, making it seem as if he was scared and that his acting had impressed him.

If the other party really did that, it would indeed be quite disgusting.

Sato is just a minor character in the movie, with a low status, so it's impossible for him to come forward and refute the statement; he would likely be attacked by the other party's fans.

However, Yakushimaru, who was being interviewed at the same time, directly attacked the newspaper on the spot. It is unknown what Yakushimaru did, but the newspaper actually published her words.

This effectively thwarted Tanabe's plans.

Of course, to the average person who doesn't know the inside story, it just looks like a regular advertorial interview.

"Really..."

Sato smiled as he read what Yakushimaru had said.

Although he felt relieved, this incident also served as a wake-up call for him.

If one's own position is not high, it's not too easy for others to steal some of the credit.

Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of status.

In this place, the strong prey on the weak, and those of higher status do all sorts of things to those of lower status without any psychological or physical burden.

Thinking of this, Sato felt a little more at ease, remembering Chiba and Sanada.

His current status has just been elevated, but it's still not high.

Fortunately, I joined the Shadow Legion, so my character is guaranteed.

Moreover, Chiba also has high hopes for himself.

However, this doesn't represent the situation everywhere. The most important thing is to quickly establish a foothold, build a fan base, unlock more useful advantages, and secure leading roles.

At least as the lead actor, my brilliance won't be overshadowed by others.

Thinking of this, Sato's initial excitement had long since dissipated, replaced by a sense of urgency.

He is still too weak.

"But why would Yakushimaru help you?"

Ayako Ogawa's words interrupted the boy's thoughts.

The woman looked at Sato with a hint of suspicion.

Although it wasn't said aloud, Sato could sense what the other person meant.

"She probably just doesn't like Tanabe."

He wasn't so narcissistic as to think that Yakushimaru liked him or would fight Tanabe for his sake.

It was probably just because she didn't like Tanabe to begin with, and then she overheard Tanabe's words, which completely enraged her.

It can be said that those who do many evil deeds will inevitably perish.

Do you know anything?

Ogawa still looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, they told me."

Sato briefly recounted what Yakushimaru had told him about Tanabe's participation in the Shadow Legion's selection process.

However, Sato didn't mention the incident where he covered his mouth later.

"Oh, I see. Well, you're lucky then."

"But it also means that she thinks highly of you."

As he spoke, Ogawa's expression became quite complicated.

Yakushimaru is not just a popular idol, but also Kadokawa's little princess.

She has both looks and connections; she's practically a princess.

If someone takes a liking to you... that's a good thing... right?

Although it was a good thing, Xiaochuan strangely felt that he couldn't be happy; instead, he was a little angry.

"It was just a coincidence."

Sato waved his hand, unaware of the complex emotions in Ogawa's heart; the boy's thoughts were simply racing.

Status and background are the main themes here; otherwise, even with ability, one will only be exploited.

Fortunately, he now has the opportunity brought by Teacher Chiba. Although this opportunity has been full of twists and turns and doesn't seem to be going smoothly, all he can do is make good use of everything and reach higher as soon as possible.

Otherwise, just because he escaped this time in the battle between Yakushimaru and Tanabe's powerful opponent doesn't mean he can escape next time.

Playing a supporting role for others is never a long-term solution.

Once he actually succeeds, he'll eventually turn the tables on Tanabe and make him suffer the consequences.

Of course, besides his own petty desire for revenge, the most important thing is that it might actually bring benefits, since it's his lord, and it might even activate a cheat code.

It would be beneficial and harmless to make it his next target.

On the other end, watching the boy who quickly became serious again after being happy for only a short time, Xiaochuan blinked and said.

"And this too."

Xiaochuan took out a cardboard box from under the conference room table. Inside were more than a dozen envelopes, half pink and half plain.

"These are letters from your fans."

Seeing that no one was around and the meeting room was locked, Xiao Chuan's slightly cold lips curled up slightly.

"so much?"

Sato's eyes widened as he looked at the dozen or so letters in front of him.

After all, this is no longer an era where you can find out about someone's company just by searching online or leave a message anywhere you go online.

To find his name, you first need to remember the name of the character who only appears once. Then, carefully look for his stage name in the credits. After that, find the company address through the Yellow Pages.

To be able to pull off such a series of actions, which must have taken up a lot of time, one must either be a true fan or a true hater.

This was only the second day after the premiere, and there were already more than a dozen letters, which added a bit of authenticity to the statistical results of that questionnaire survey.

Chapter 37: Acting Skills That Are Beyond Reach? (Please Read On)

Yes, there are many.

Ogawa looked at the envelope in front of him and nodded with emotion.

"I was startled when I saw it."

As he spoke, Ogawa casually placed his hand on Sato's head, his soft fingertips brushing against the boy's hair.

"..."

"cough cough"

Meeting Sato's unreadable gaze, Ogawa awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Having not seen her for several days, coupled with the series of surprises and the ambiance of this escape room, she's gotten a little carried away.

He accidentally made a move again.

However, she was genuinely happy.

After all, Sato is a money tree; at this rate, it's not impossible for him to help her make a fortune.

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed deep in Xiao Chuan's eyes.

"By the way, should I help you continue looking for a job?"

Ogawa asked, seemingly changing the subject.

However, his expression was serious as he spoke, and it was clear at a glance that he was being earnest.

The girl had no academic achievements to back her up, so others looked down on her and it was pointless for her to look for a job.

Some lecherous supervisors even did things to her.

As for playing minor roles or dead bodies again, that would be a waste of time.

Without fame, I'll just earn five thousand.

They should focus on performing "Shadow Legion" well.

Therefore, Ogawa never mentioned it to Sato.

However, things are different now.

Now that the young man has achieved results, she, as his agent, can also fulfill her original role.

If she says a few more kind words, she might actually be able to find the young man a job with a higher status.

"Not for now."

Sato shook his head.

"I want to focus on acting in 'Shadow Legion'."
