Chapter 152: Koyama Yoshiharu Felt Great Being Flattered~
Inside Studio 3, that brief disturbance caused by a top idol quickly subsided.
Under Tanaka Kei's vigorous and resolute direction, all staff members acted like precise instruments that had been rewound, methodically returning to their respective posts.
Lighting, audio, camera... everything rapidly restored normal operation with an astonishing high efficiency.
As if that farce full of gunpowder just now, was merely a harmless stage play interlude.
And that young man who personally quelled all this, at this moment had long acted like nothing had happened, crossing that work area full of clamor and busyness, slowly walking into that front-row audience area specially separated out with the best view.
Sitting there were his warmest concerns in this cold city.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You're here!"
Before he even approached, a petite charming figure full of youthful vitality, acted like a little sunbird discovering a sunflower, bringing a gust of fragrant wind, joyfully welcoming him.
Koyama Musae's pitch-black large eyes, were looking at him unblinkingly, her pretty face written full of fanatical adoration.
"Brother-in-law! You were simply explosive handsome just now! Too cool! Domineering to a mess!" She acted like an eager little squirrel offering a treasure, gesturing excitedly, that voice crisp and pleasing, full of the exaggeration and sincerity unique to a young girl: "That whatever dogshit big star, in front of you, was simply like an elementary school student being lectured by a Head Teacher! Did you see that look of his at the end, his face turned white! So satisfying! I've decided, from today onwards, you are my only idol!"
This straightforward praise full of fangirl aura, made an involuntary helpless smile surface on Nohara Hiroshi's face.
The corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled up slightly.
What man, wouldn't like being adored by a youthful and beautiful young girl in such a pure and passionate manner?
Hmm, it's a pity she's a sister-in-law. Just as it's a pity Bilibili isn't another letter site... (Paying tribute to the pinned comment in the comment section, truly a pity)
"Hiroshi-kun."
A voice gentle enough to wring out water sounded.
Nohara Hiroshi then saw Koyama Misae's pretty face written full of pride and love.
She wasn't making a fuss like her sister, merely standing there quietly. Those watery large eyes, like two lakes filled with starlight, gently wrapped his entire person in it.
She reached out her soft boneless small hands, naturally straightening his already meticulous collar for him, the temperature inadvertently transmitted from those fingertips, carrying more weight than any thousand words.
That look was like saying —— My man, is just this awesome!
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
Right within this atmosphere full of warmth and sweetness, a heavy cough full of warning meaning, inappropriately, pierced this tranquility.
Koyama Yoshiharu, this representative of Kumamoto Prefecture's educational circles, the leader of the "Family and Friends Cheering Squad", at this moment was keeping a stern face.
Those sharp eyes unique to a Head Teacher, like two unsheathed daggers, fiercely pierced towards that young daughter who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth still hanging onto his prospective son-in-law's arm.
"Koyama Musae!"
His voice suppressed a trembling anger: "What does this look like?! Showing no respect to elders! Hurry up and let go! Your brother-in-law is an elder! You need to learn respect! Got it?!"
"Aiya, dear father, what are you being fierce about again?" Mother Koyama Takasae at the side finally also couldn't bear watching anymore. She sighed helplessly, reaching out her hand, pinching neither lightly nor heavily on that unreliably young daughter's arm, her face also written full of reproach: "Musae, listen to your father, don't always pester your brother-in-law, he just finished handling work, he's tired."
"Oh..."
Koyama Musae aggrievedly pouted that cherry-like small mouth. Although unwilling in her heart, she still obediently let go, like a defeated little kitty, withdrawing to the side discouraged.
However, an enthusiastic greeting full of rural flavor, sounded from behind them without any warning!
"Aiya! Is this... is this Manager Nohara?!"
A burly middle-aged uncle, wearing a red happi coat printed with "Kumamoto Must Win", looking like the leader of a cheering squad, at this moment carrying a look of pleasant surprise, leading that massive "red ocean" behind him, surged over towards this side with a hula!
"Manager Nohara! Hello hello! I am the President of the Agricultural Cooperative in Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, my name is Yamada Kenta! I... I am a loyal fan of yours ah!"
President Yamada's tanned face, at this moment was written full of the excitement and fanaticism akin to seeing an idol.
Those massive fan-like hands of his, tightly grasped the still astounded Nohara Hiroshi's hand, shaking it up and down.
"That 'Kasou Taishou' of yours, in our entire Kumamoto Prefecture, from old ladies to little babies, there isn't a single one who doesn't love watching it! Too... too interesting! Especially that regional confrontation match! Simply... a stroke of genius ah! Our Kumamoto Prefecture being able to fight its way into the national finals this time, all depends entirely on you!"
This sudden enthusiasm, also made Nohara Hiroshi somewhat not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, before he could exchange a few pleasantries, that "Head Teacher" at the side who was just keeping a stern face reprimanding his own daughter a moment ago, had long acted like a peacock opening its tail, subconsciously straightening his back.
"Cough! President Yamada, although our Nohara Hiroshi is the general person-in-charge of this program, but after all he is also a Manager at TV Tokyo, some things shouldn't be spoken carelessly!"
Koyama Yoshiharu put his hands behind his back, walking forward unhurriedly, a reserve and pride belonging to a public servant that had long been practiced thousands of times hanging on his face.
He pointed at that young man looking helpless, using a seemingly flat tone that was actually full of flaunting meaning, speaking leisurely:
"We must be fair, know? Even if he is my second daughter's boyfriend, he can't bend the law for personal gain!"
"Eh?!"
"Nani?!"
"Teacher Koyama! You... you mean... this legendary Manager Nohara, is... is your... prospective son-in-law?!"
These words, acted like a true heavy bomb, detonating with a boom within the entire Kumamoto Prefecture cheering squad!
Everyone looked at Koyama Yoshiharu like looking at a monster, then looked at Koyama Misae who had long been blushing so hard she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in. On those faces, only undisguised, bottomless shock and... envy remained!
"Aiyaya! I say Teacher Koyama, you... you're really not being much of a friend! Having such an impressive son-in-law, why didn't you tell us earlier!"
"Exactly exactly! This is simply the pride of our entire Kumamoto Prefecture ah!"
"No wonder Miss Misae is so beautiful, so it turns out... she's Manager Nohara's girlfriend! A talented man and a beautiful woman! A match made in heaven ah!"
For a time, various praises and compliments, surged frantically towards Koyama Yoshiharu as if they didn't cost money!
On that face of his which was always stern, it had long been thoroughly filled by a suppressed prideful smile like an old fox.
He even deliberately put on a deep front and waved his hand, speaking using a tone full of Versailles-style annoyance: "Sigh, young people right, they have their own ideas, us elders, also can't manage that much. As long as they live happily themselves, then it's fine."
That appearance of acting innocent after getting a bargain, made Koyama Misae at the side's cheeks flush so red they were about to drip blood upon seeing it.
Only Nohara Hiroshi, looking at this prospective father-in-law of his who had long been immersed in the joy of being flattered and unable to extricate himself, still carried a smile on his face responding one by one.
"Uncles and aunts, you are too polite."
His voice wasn't loud, but acted like a clear spring, instantly soothing all the restlessness at the scene: "Today I am merely an ordinary audience member, what I say doesn't count, it's all up to the judges and everyone's popularity votes. But today's main characters, are the contestants representing our Kumamoto Prefecture to battle. We should just cheer for them together."
These words were spoken in a way that properly placed his own position, while also calmly and collectedly pulling everyone's attention back to the competition itself.
That calm bearing, that maturity and steadiness far exceeding his peers, made those Kumamoto fellow townsmen present, each and every one secretly praise in their hearts.
"As expected of Manager Nohara ah!"
"Yeah! So young, yet possesses this kind of bearing! In the future, definitely will be a dragon among men!"
"Teacher Koyama, you truly... picked up a treasure ah!"
President Yamada even heavily slapped his thigh, on that tanned face, written full of heartfelt admiration and emotion: "Manager Nohara, I won't hide it from you, just now backstage, we saw it all! The imposing manner when you... you reprimanded that whatever big star, simply... simply more awe-inspiring than our Kumamoto Prefecture's Prefectural Governor!"
As soon as these words came out, it evoked a burst of good-natured uproarious laughter around.
Koyama Yoshiharu listening to the sincere praises by his ear one by one, looking at that young man who could still maintain a calm and indifferent composure amidst the crowd, that heart belonging to a father at this moment was also filled by pride.
His own daughter had truly found a, true man sufficient to make her, and also make their entire Koyama family, proud for a lifetime!
