Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

Chapter 160 That's just how we are.

Is it really not fake?

How could there really be such an accidental property, and then just happen to be occupied by the two of them? It also exudes an ominous aura. Shouldn't this kind of project be common in variety shows?

How could it be true? Aren't you afraid living in an accident-stricken area? There are innocent people who died in this case!

Do you know what a geomantic spirit is?

It refers to those who died unjustly in life, and because they had some unfulfilled wishes, they remain in the world as spirits. Because their bodies are closely connected to the room where they died, they cannot leave the room where they died, and thus become earthbound spirits.

Noriko Soma was afraid precisely because she knew these things.

The fortune teller who had visited her told her not to try to become famous by using earthbound spirits, because her destiny couldn't bear it, and the more likely outcome would be that she would be driven crazy by the long-term stagnation of energy.

Therefore, Noriko Soma usually avoids objects involved in accidents.

But when those unscrupulous production teams found out about this, they kept urging Noriko Soma to participate in those paranormal programs, with the aim of eliminating her inner fears and incidentally boosting the show's ratings.

The staff kept telling her that these things didn't exist in the world, and if they did, they were faked by people for the sake of fire.

In reality, the property involved in the accident is no different from a regular house. The lower price is just a marketing tactic by real estate agents. They just want to sell their old houses quickly so they can use the money to go fishing.

Noriko Soma has read Aki Amano's "Chronicles of a Haunted House," and to be fair, the atmosphere it creates is quite good.

The interplay of light and shadow, along with the thermometer that had never been seen before, was a novel way of interpreting the reality of the accident-related objects. It would be quite good for a YouTube documentary.

But she knew it was all fake, so Noriko Soma treated it as a joke from the very beginning.

The so-called strange wind was just staff fanning the air; the door that suddenly closed could be used with a fishing line; the temperature dropped because the thermometer was placed next to the ice, and the detector was affected by the temperature of the ice.

Actually, all of this is fake; it's just to gain views and attention.

You two big liars! I've seen through your act. You're just trying to maintain your persona of living in the accident site, aren't you?

Hahaha—don't worry, I have no interest in you living here. I just want to take off your masks and see what your hidden side is like in the depths of darkness, so I can destroy you.

So let's skip the accident and get straight to the point.

After putting on her clothes, Noriko Soma was the first to rush into the house. Like a tiger just released from its cage, she raised her proud head and surveyed her territory, twitching her ears whenever she saw something interesting.

"Hey, why is there a sock on the bookshelf?"

"Thank you," Amano Akira, the owner of the sock, rushed over, picked up the sock that had been missing for three days, and said, "I knew there was another sock missing. It was right here. You have a really sharp eye."

"Perhaps you're used to living here, while I'm new here. But at first, I thought it was just for decoration."

"hehe--"

Who would use smelly socks as decorations?! Even Kazuya Sawashiro wouldn't do something so stupid, let alone Aki Amano!

This was just an item lost in the fierce battle. Amano Aki had thought it might be under the sofa, or that Sawashiro Kazuya might pick it up and keep it, but he never imagined it would be in such an obvious place on the bookshelf, and that neither of them would notice it.

What's this all about? Are we just used to seeing socks on the bookshelf?

Well, you do get used to this kind of thing.

So, to prevent Noriko Soma from discovering anything more, Aki Amano brought out the agency's hidden gem. Pointing to Kazuya Sawashiro, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, she asked, "Why don't we sit down and watch him cook?"

You can lack anything else, but you absolutely must have Ze Cheng and He Ye. What else could he be but a treasure?

Unfortunately, he was just a treasure to Aki Amano, perhaps half a treasure in Misaki Tachibana's eyes, but in Noriko Soma's eyes, he was just a hypocritical pervert.

Judging from his awkward manner, you could tell that this person would never normally go into the kitchen. Yet he still dared to boast about inviting her to dinner. Nine times out of ten, he just took a phone call halfway through cooking and brought in the takeout to plate it.

Soma Noriko has seen plenty of men like this.

Her father was like that, her grandfather was like that, and the male heads of her relatives' families were all like that.

He's a pampered man who never lifts a finger, and since his wife left home, he can't even brew tea. He doesn't even know that a phone needs charging when ordering takeout. In the end, he just lights one cigarette after another and stares blankly at the packaged curry in the refrigerator.

Kazuya Sawashiro is definitely that kind of man; he can't even tell the difference between sugar and salt. Noriko Soma wouldn't want to watch this kind of performer.

She turned her back to Kazuya Sawashiro and declined Aki Amano's offer: "No need, I'd rather hear how you introduce this agency, so could you tell me where you usually work and what you do?"

"Of course, no problem—" Amano Aki replied with a smile.

She is now Kazuya Sawashiro's assistant, and her job is to stabilize Noriko Soma and then have Kazuya Sawashiro win her over with sincerity and love.

She can do it, because she is Aki Amano.

"The living room is where we usually discuss things, and the table over there by the balcony is for working. I often learn video editing and scriptwriting from him, so you can see quite a few related books on the bookshelf, all for studying."

Amano Aki introduced the agency with ease.

She could proudly say that no one knew this agency better than her, because it was also her and Kazuya Sawashiro's love nest. Every place bore traces of their life, and even the most inconspicuous corners held their own stories.

Unfortunately, Noriko Soma couldn't stand these things; she got a headache whenever she heard the two of them spouting nonsense about love.

Do you think she can't tell?

Please, she's been in relationships before, okay? She can tell the difference between friends, colleagues, and lovers. She's not the kind of kid who trembles all over just from holding hands.

This act of sharing memories of each other from different places is something only lovers would do.

Which of my colleagues would remember that? It's not like I escaped from the living room.

So why torture this single girl?

Noriko Soma was completely baffled, and there were many other things about this agency that she didn't understand.

Even though the air conditioning and fan weren't on, and there wasn't much wind blowing in from the window, and she had put on a long-sleeved jacket, she still felt a chill on her back, as if the air conditioning vent was directly on her back.

is it possible?

But when she turned back to ask Amano Aki, the answer she always got was the same.

"That's how it is in our firm, so when we come back here we wear an extra layer of clothing, we're used to it."
