The strongest high school student in Japan

For a moment, Ms. Takeuchi fell into a strange silence, until a moment later she picked up the phone as if she had made up her mind.

"No matter what, we have to save people first." She muttered first.

Then she pressed the 119 button, made a call, and quickly reported her current location and current injuries.

She spoke very quickly, but her pronunciation was very clear, and she didn't seem flustered at all, and she finished quickly.

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly looked at Jun Mogami again.

"Brother, I'm really sorry to have put you in trouble again..." She sighed apologetically, "But, can you wait until the medical staff arrive and not say anything? Let us handle everything?"

"For Sanae?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"Yes... I can't let outsiders know about this." Miss Takeuchi replied with a wry smile, "Nowadays, public opinion in the world is becoming more and more harsh. A little bit of boring things will ferment into an uproar on the Internet, not to mention this kind of incident... If this kind of thing gets out, her future will be ruined. Even if it is just an unintentional mistake, the idle people on the Internet will criticize her. No one can bear this kind of pressure. So I must do my best to prevent this from happening. This is my duty..."

"I understand your thoughts." Mogami Jun was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone anything. This kind of accident has nothing to do with me. But if you want me to lie, I won't cooperate with you. Sorry."

"As long as you keep silent, we will handle the rest by ourselves. We won't trouble you." Miss Takeuchi smiled bitterly. "We have to get it done before he wakes up."

"Why... why did it happen... Miaomiao didn't do anything..." As if she had thought of some terrible consequences, Izumi Sanae suddenly lowered her head and cried silently. The arrogant look she had just had completely disappeared, and it seemed that only a panicked child was left.

"Don't be afraid, Sanae." Ms. Takeuchi hugged Izumi Sanae again and comforted her softly, "I will handle it at the company and negotiate with the TV station. As long as we work hard, no one will tell anyone about this... You just need to work hard, and I will take care of the rest."

Because of Ms. Takeuchi's comfort, a lot of tears suddenly poured out from Sanae's eyes, soaking the collar of Ms. Takeuchi's coat.

"Thank you...Takeuchi-san is the best..."

While Ms. Takeuchi was trying to comfort Sanae, chaotic footsteps were heard from everywhere, moving towards this side. It was obvious that the screams were not just heard from the two people at the stairs.

Zhenyou, Xiaoshi and others soon appeared at the stairs and slowly descended from the escalator.

When they saw the motionless man lying on the ground and the pool of blood, they all turned pale with horror.

"What...what's going on...?!" Mayu no longer cared about the image she usually played, and jumped down from the last few steps, then ran to Miss Takeuchi and Izumi Sanae. "What happened?"

"Someone fell down the escalator." Ms. Takeuchi completely ignored what happened just now, "No one knows what happened to the others."

"Oh my God!" Zhenyou covered her mouth with her hands and gasped.

"I finally got to film a show, but this happened!" She sighed and complained. "How should I end this?"

She had originally planned to make a good appearance on the show, but now the show is probably ruined. The key point is that this is not anyone's fault at all, it was just because of a ridiculous accident... She felt heartbroken when she thought of this.

However, no matter how heartbroken and helpless she was, reality was reality after all, and she could only sigh. "Forget it, everyone is unlucky and there is nothing we can do about it. I hope the injured will be okay..."

As she spoke, she also looked at the person lying on the ground and was very worried.

If it was just an accident with injuries, it would be easy to deal with. But if someone died from the accident, it would be on the news anyway...

In short...bad luck.

Just as she was secretly sighing at her bad luck, the TV station staff also rushed over from a distance. Miss Takeuchi immediately went over to them, as if she wanted to explain the situation to them.

Mayu and Sanae followed Miss Takeuchi and walked towards them.

At this moment, a feeling of disharmony suddenly arose from the bottom of Jun Mogami's heart.

A TV station staff member was horribly injured in front of Sanae Izumi, and the injury was so glaring.

It's like a prop placed on the ground.

Also, there was too much time left for Miss Takeuchi and Sanae to discuss. Why did they come after Mayu and the others had come? It couldn't be that their reaction was slower than that of the girl.

Something is wrong.

According to Sanae Izumi's account, the staff member lost his balance and fell because of her touch - so if we understand it the other way around, can we assume that he deliberately created a reason to fall by touching her?

Undoubtedly, Miss Takeuchi just checked the other person and he did look seriously injured, so she called the emergency number, but... the TV station can always find a few actors who are good at acting.

Miss Takeuchi was so concerned that she was afraid that Izumi Sanae would lose her future, so she panicked. At this time, no one would think of further investigation.

If you think about it this way, it seems that everything can be understood.

With this thought in mind, he walked quietly behind Mayu and pulled her sleeve.

Zhenyou turned around suddenly, and when she saw it was him, she asked in confusion, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Jun Mogami just shook his head slightly and uttered a few syllables.

"Nisemono (fake)?" Mayu was a little confused at first, then she quickly understood, and then she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

It turns out the show has already started.

72. Responsibility

When she first heard Jun Mogami say the word "fake", Mayu Takasaki was a little confused and didn't understand what he was referring to.

But after a moment she realized that the so-called fake object was not something else, but the "injured person" on the ground.

Now thinking back, there were quite a lot of coincidences in this accident. I didn't think about it carefully just now because I was in a panic, but if I calm down and look at it again, I will feel the subtle abnormality.

Japan is a country where natural disasters occur frequently, so it attaches great importance to disaster prevention drills for students. Zhenyou has undergone many similar drills in school since he was a child. In these drills, there are many simulated injured people, and sometimes the imitations are quite realistic.

The person lying on the ground was probably a professional actor, so much so that he even fooled Ms. Takeuchi and Jun Mogami at first.

At the moment, he was still lying on the ground motionless, and the pool of blood around him was shockingly spreading around him.

He was lying face down on the ground, probably to hide the bag of blood in his arms. He must have fallen to the ground in front of Sanae Izumi on purpose to test everyone's reaction.

The "Surprise" mentioned before turned out to be this kind of weird thing... Sanae and I were treated as the heroines of a prank show, or as props to boost ratings.

Is it funny?

It is not funny.

A rage burned in Zhenyou's heart.

We are idols, not props. Can't you stupid guys tell the difference?

But even though she was furious inside, she remained calm on the surface. Since this was a prank show, the recording must have already started by now. If she lost her temper and made a big fuss, they would not suffer any loss in the end, and it would only embarrass her.

So she just nodded slightly to Jun Mogami to show that she understood, and expressed her gratitude to him at the same time.

Then she took another step and walked to Ms. Takeuchi and Sanae Izumi.

Because she was worried that Sanae might show her fear, Ms. Takeuchi pulled Sanae to her side and put her hand on her shoulder, trying to calm the little girl down.

At the moment, although Izumi Sanae still looked frightened, she had more or less regained her senses. At least she didn't look too nervous on the surface.

At this time, the staff from the TV station also ran over.

When they saw the unconscious staff member lying on the ground and the large pool of blood, these people immediately started to commotion. The shock and panic were so realistic that Zhenyou suddenly doubted whether he had made a wrong judgment.

Fortunately, her years of experience as an idol have enabled her to develop the ability to keep her emotions hidden, so whether it was panic, fear or confusion, it did not show on her face. She just looked worried about the injuries of the injured.

"Hey! What happened here?" the leading man shouted.

Ms. Takeuchi knew him. He was the TV station's producer, Okayama Shouhei, and the highest-ranking person on the scene. He was almost the person in charge of this program.

He looked to be in his 30s or 40s, not tall, with fair skin and slightly wrinkled eyes. He wore a casual suit and a plaid shirt, but no tie. I don't know if it was to show off or to pay tribute to the predecessors of the past era. He also wore a plaid cap, and with the rolled paper in his hand, he looked like a TV person from the Showa era.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Okayama, there seems to have been an accident just now." Miss Takeuchi walked forward and bowed deeply to the other party. "It seems that the gentleman accidentally fell down the escalator. We were all scared just now."

"Ah?" Okayama Shohei's face suddenly twisted into the shape of a bitter gourd. "Why did he fall down out of nowhere? What should I do with the show...the show?"

While complaining, he walked to the side of his still unconscious subordinate, bent down and stretched out his hand, but did not dare to touch him. He looked anxious as if he wanted to check out the situation but did not dare to do anything.

"He...how is he?"

"It's okay. I just checked and he still has a pulse. He shouldn't be in danger of death. I've already called and an ambulance should be here soon."

"Ah, that's good... that's good." Okayama Shohei breathed a sigh of relief, then he turned to look at Ms. Takeuchi, scratched his head heavily, and looked very embarrassed, "I was planning to do the show, but it seems that I can't do it today... Hey, Ms. Takeuchi, I'm so sorry. Otherwise, after the hospital people come to take him away, why don't we just continue recording the show? Anyway, we can find a replacement for his job on site. Otherwise, everyone's schedule is very full, and I don't know when he will come next time..."

Then, he added, "No one knows about this yet, so we just need to keep it a secret. It's normal to have some accidents on the set... What do you think?"

He asked the question quite casually, but Zhenyou, who was standing next to him, felt like he was struck by lightning.

This guy was really acting, putting the injured aside so quickly.

Moreover, his proposal was quite tempting. After all, the last show was not easy and it was a pity to waste resources. From the perspective of the staff and idols, it would be more reasonable to continue the performance.

However, even if this is reasonable, it cannot be exposed to the audience. If the audience saw that the idols who are usually "kind-hearted" can still act as if nothing happened after such a tragic accident and continue to act cute and funny, it would be a problem no matter how you look at it...

When she thought of this, she became a little anxious. She ignored etiquette and was ready to speak up to remind Miss Takeuchi.

"It's okay. We should be the ones to apologize. We came here to record the show and something unexpected happened..." Before Mayu could say anything, Ms. Takeuchi shook her head and said, "Forget it, Mr. Okayama, just cancel the show. We have no objection. People's safety is the most important thing right now. No one is in the mood to record any more shows."

Seeing that the other party did not fall into his trap, a hint of disappointment flashed across Okayama Shohei's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"It's great that Miss Takeuchi is so understanding."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head and looked around, "Oh, why did he fall down? Did he suddenly fall ill or something? Who among you is a witness?"

For a moment, the people present looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.

Most people arrived later, so they looked at each other because they really didn't know anything, while Ms. Takeuchi and Sanae Izumi had something to hide and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"No one saw it? Oh, that's troublesome..." Seeing that no one spoke, Okayama Shohei sighed, "I'll go ask the people at the mall for the surveillance footage to see what's going on..."

No, we can't let the situation develop on its own.

Seeing that the other party was about to go find a shopping mall, Miss Takeuchi secretly made up her mind.

"Mr. Okayama, can you please talk to me for a moment?" She looked at him cautiously, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Okayama Shohei was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Okay..."

Just as Miss Takeuchi was about to take him away, Mayu suddenly stood up and walked to Miss Takeuchi's side. "Ms. Takeuchi, take me with you when you negotiate..."

"Hmm?" Ms. Takeuchi was a little surprised, and then hesitated. After all, in her eyes, Mayu still didn't know the relationship between Sanae and the accident, and she thought the fewer people who knew about it, the better. "Why don't we stay here and calm everyone down?"

If Miss Takeuchi had said this normally, of course Mayu would have listened, but now Mayu was afraid that Miss Takeuchi would fall into someone else's trap because of her confusion, so she continued to insist on her opinion.

"Takeuchi-san, no matter what, we also have a share of responsibility for what happened today. We have been hiding until now, leaving you to bear the pressure alone. This is really cunning, so I think that no matter what, I should be present..." Zhenyou raised her head and blinked slightly, "Although I am still young and don't understand anything, I should also take my responsibilities... If there is anything I can do to help Takeuchi-san, it would be even better, so Takeuchi-san, please take me with you!"

——Ms. Takeuchi was silent.

Zhenyou's words, combined with her expression, are indeed quite cute, and even exude a little glow, which makes people admire her.

But that's exactly why something is wrong. She usually stays with Zhenyou and knows her too well. Under normal circumstances, Zhenyou would not behave like this. On the contrary, she would directly avoid such trouble that has nothing to do with her, so as not to tarnish her idol halo.

Is she hinting at me something?

An idea suddenly occurred to Miss Takeuchi.

She vaguely felt that something was not right.

But she didn't have time to think more now, so she just nodded for the time being. "Okay, let's go over and negotiate together."

"Thank you, Sister Takeuchi!" Mayu smiled happily.

"You've really grown up, Yuzu-chan." Shohei Okayama next to her couldn't help but sigh.

Then, the three of them walked to the corner of the mall together.

Seeing Takeuchi-san getting up, Izumi Sanae, who had calmed down a little, started to get nervous again. She knew that their negotiation was very important and might even determine the fate of her idol. If the people at the TV station found out that she was involved in the other person's fall and refused to help cover it up, but spread the news everywhere, she really didn't know how it would end. She would definitely be embarrassed anyway, and the company might even decide to give her a "temporary leave".

Why...why am I so unlucky!

She lowered her eyes again and almost burst into tears again.

I have to say, even with her head down, wearing a vest skirt and dyed blonde hair, she still looks so cute, like an exquisite doll.

"Don't be so discouraged..." At this moment, she suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the side.

Izumi Sanae raised her head slightly, and then found that the one who encouraged her was the older brother just now. He had just promised not to tell anyone.

I'm afraid that now only he and Sister Takeuchi know how tormented he is.

"Big brother..." She called out to him in frustration, "What should I do now?"

"Trust Yuzu-chan, she will protect you." Mogami Jun gave Izumi Sanae an unexpected answer. "Didn't she just say that she would take responsibility?"

"Believe her..." Izumi Sanae wanted to laugh but couldn't. Her expression became quite strange. Finally, she lowered her head dejectedly. "I hope it will work."

"It will definitely work!" Mogami Jun twisted his fingers and made a gesture to encourage the other party, "You are sweet sisters, you should have some confidence in each other!"

73, Negotiation

"You are sweet sisters, so have some confidence in each other!"

"Big Brother... Big Brother does have a point, hehe, haha..." Although she didn't believe Mogami Jun's consolation, Izumi Sanae couldn't think of any other solution, so she had to force a smile. "I hope Yuzu-chan can do it..."
