The premise of breaking up in Tokyo

"Mr. Takenaka, Mrs. Takenaka, hello, I'm Fujino..."

Ms. Fujino warmly led the "Takenaka couple" and "their child" toward the main building of the television station.

Katsuhiko walked in the middle with Chinatsu on his left arm, Mikoto on his right with her arm linked with his, and Ms. Fujino on the other side, teasing Chinatsu.

Ms. Fujino was an intern, probably in her early twenties, with a rather delicate appearance. She wore a white shirt with a TV station employee badge hanging on her chest, a black pencil skirt that just went past her knees, black stockings, and black high heels of moderate height, which made a crisp "clack-clack" sound as she stepped on the tile floor.

"Mr. Takenaka, I heard that the feedback after the program aired was excellent, and many viewers wrote in asking if we can see you on the program again..."

"Is that so? I guess we won't be able to see it." Katsuhiko casually replied.

I've watched the shows after the movie was released. He was treated as a "humorous" character, using his own "awkwardness" and "embarrassment" to bring a lot of adult laughs to the audience.

The conversation between Mikoto and Mikoto about asking for socks in the hut was also overheard.

That tasteless host even went so far as to ask a female staff member for a sock, put it over the microphone, and ask the camera, "Would Mr. Takenaka do this?"

Sheng Yan had no intention of debuting through variety shows. There are so many ways to get rich quick, but the entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune that is both bitter and tiring with a long cycle. The money earned is all just floating wealth, not even worth a hair on the leg of capital.

The post-production team's office area was crowded and cramped, and everyone was busy.

Ms. Fujino led the "Takenaka couple" to the reception room, told them, "Please wait here for a moment, the video will be delivered once it's copied," and then left.

Katsuhiko and Mikoto waited for more than twenty minutes, but no one came. They wondered if they had forgotten.

"I can't wait any longer, I'll have them send a copy of the video home!"

Annoyed, Katsuhiko picked up Chika and walked out of the reception room.

Of course, you can't come here for nothing; it's nice to just browse around.

Experience what it's like to be in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Compare the public persona that celebrities cultivate with their private persona.

The elevator lobby and corridors of the main building were bustling with people, including quite a few celebrities with exquisite makeup. After all, it was a TV station, full of ordinary people, so it wasn't surprising. There were no fans crowding around, only juniors bowing and fawning over their seniors.

Katsuhiko didn't recognize any of them.

Then when asked, Mikoto also looked blank. She doesn't follow celebrities and hasn't watched TV programs for more than three years.

Exclamations and screams came from the direction of Studio 4.

Katsuhiko thought some big shot had arrived and was about to carry Chika over to see what was going on when someone suddenly shouted, "Someone's fallen to their death! Call an ambulance!"

Then, several people with blood on their faces ran out of the photography studio.

A stage accident... Katsuhiko's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously touched the [Recovery Potion] in his pocket.

He harbored doubts about things he hadn't witnessed firsthand, and now he had the perfect subject for his experiment.

The hallway started to get crowded.

Katsuhiko, worried that he might frighten Chika, quickly pulled her into his arms and then dragged Mikoto back to the reception room.

"You and Chinatsu wait here for a bit, I'll go check on things." Katsuhiko said, handing Chinatsu to Mikoto and heading straight out the door.

"Huh? Oh, be careful..."

Sheng Yan squeezed against the wall to the entrance of Studio 4.

In the spacious photography studio, only a few large lights were on the high dome, and the surroundings were still somewhat dim.

Under the spotlight in the center, a rectangular stage more than three meters high was supported by an iron tripod.

At the back edge of the stage, a curtain with a large hole was stretched out. On the slippery stage, several young girls in white skirts were lying on the hole, crying and shouting down.

In the slightly darker area below, there was an empty space where two girls dressed in the same outfits as those on stage were lying down.

It looks like he accidentally broke the curtain during rehearsal and fell straight down from the platform.

Although there were no obvious external injuries, a quick glance revealed that the fall was quite severe, and the person looked like they wouldn't survive.

A person was spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes were glazed over, and he was barely breathing.

The other eye was wide open, but its gaze was unfocused, and its pale lips were slightly parted, only exhaling.

The onlookers did not step forward, probably fearing that it would cause further injury, and all waited quietly for the paramedics to arrive.

Sheng Yan silently took out a [Recovery Potion]. It would be too ostentatious to pour it directly into her mouth in front of everyone. It would be better to drag her to a dark corner.

He observed his surroundings and quietly squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

At that moment, the large lights shining on this side of the dome suddenly went out, and the light dimmed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a guy who looked like a leader led a group of people running over, pulling up a curtain and shouting as he ran, "Make way! Make way! Don't crowd around!"

Presumably not wanting the incident to escalate, they turned off the main lights, surrounded the two injured men with a curtain, and then shouted to drive the crowd away.

The onlookers were all staff members, and they all looked frightened before quickly dispersing into the darkness.

The curtain was drawn up and the main lights were turned off, which gave Katsuhiko the perfect opportunity.

Taking advantage of the commotion and darkness, he rolled and slipped into the curtain.

The curtain only covered four sides, and a faint ray of light filtered in from above, but only the outline of a human figure could be seen.

However, this did not prevent Katsuhiko from accurately finding the mouth.

He quickly opened the bottle cap, pinched open the chin of a girl nearby, and stuffed the bottle opening into her mouth. He couldn't see if the medicine had been completely poured out, but the small bottle suddenly disappeared into thin air, probably because it had been emptied.

"Hiss—!"

The girl suddenly let out a clear, loud gasp; she seemed to be frightened and was struggling to get up.

He's jumping around like a baby again... Is the potion really that powerful? Does that mean we'll be rich from now on?

Sheng Yan immediately pinned her to the floor, covered her mouth, and whispered in her ear to shush.

The girl's body suddenly stiffened. In the dim light, her eyes were wide open, reflecting the faint light scattered from the ceiling. She nodded slightly.

Sheng Yan gently released her, and considering there was another one nearby, he prepared another [Recovery Potion], then pinched open her chin and poured it in.

As the small bottle vanished into thin air, Katsuhiko quickly rolled off the curtain and darted under the stage, peering around in the darkness without being noticed.

Of course, even if it is discovered, it's not a big problem.

Since neither of them underwent any medical examinations, there is no medical evidence, and there are many miraculous survivals that cannot be explained by science.

Several doctors carrying stretchers rushed in from outside, followed by another commotion, and the curtain that had been erected was also removed.

On the dimly lit floor, the two girls sat hand in hand, looking up at each other. Although their faces were somewhat blurry and their expressions were unclear, they seemed quite bewildered.

As a group of people gathered around again, Sheng Yan quickly crawled out from under the stage and squeezed out of the studio.

Back in the reception room, Mikoto had already received a copy of the variety show recording. She greeted Chika with a worried expression, holding her in her arms, and asked what had happened.

"Two pretty girl group members fell down. There's nothing to see here. Let's go, let's go to Akihabara."

Now that I've witnessed the effects of the [Recovery Potion] firsthand, I'll try it sometime when I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

Katsuhiko led Mikoto out of the reception room, and as soon as they entered the elevator, medical staff carrying a stretcher rushed over.

The two girls were being held down on stretchers by the nurses, their eyes wide with confusion, their heads stiffly turning as they looked around.

Their complexions had completely regained their rosy glow; after all, they were members of an idol girl group, with great figures and sweet, lovely looks.

Should we give them a secret signal? After all, they saved our lives; we should at least repay them, right?

As Sheng Yan was pondering how to give the signal, the girl suddenly stared straight at him as the stretcher passed by. She then raised her hand to grab him, but the nurse pressed her hand back down.

She kept turning her head to look back, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

Sheng Yan quickly winked at her, then put his index finger to his lips as a shushing gesture.

The girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she nodded blankly.

Standing beside her, Mikoto glanced at Katsuhiko's face, then looked at the elevator door that had just closed, tilted her head helplessly, and said nothing.

Back in the car, Katsuhiko drove straight to Akihabara.
