"I told you, get out, whoever is inside! This young lady wants to move in here!"
Listening to the commotion in front of the room, Ichika, who had been looking through the window at the sea view, also shifted her attention. She turned her head toward the door, and Nakano Yu, who was resting on the bed, was also disturbed by the noise outside the door.
"Yu, is something happening outside?"
Ichika looked at Nakano Yu beside her and confirmed.
"Mhm, it's probably about the room allocation. Let's go take a look."
Nakano Yu nodded. The noise was disturbing his rest. Moreover, someone making such a commotion in a place like this and still calling herself "this young lady" was probably another spoiled rich brat.
"Mhm mhm."
Nodding, Ichika got off the bed, put on her shoes, and ran toward the door ahead of him.
But when Ichika opened the door, she saw a woman with heavy makeup and a muscular man in a white sleeveless shirt being stopped by the production staff not far from her room.
The person at the head of the staff was none other than Director Kudo, who had just brought them here earlier.
"Ms. Maya, all three rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever chooses first gets the room. The production does not support changes."
Director Kudo's expression was displeased as she looked at the heavily made-up woman making a scene and talking nonsense, but she still patiently explained.
"Ha? What kind of rule is that? Your production never said that at all! Quickly, tell the person in the far-left room to come out! This young lady wants to live there!"
The heavily made-up woman, called "Ms. Maya," listened to Director Kudo's explanation but still behaved arrogantly. She stretched out her hand with long, red-painted nails toward Ichika, who had just come out of the room, and said haughtily:
"Hey, you ugly woman over there, move out quickly! If this young lady is in a good mood, I might even share some entertainment industry resources with you."
Seeing the woman who looked nearly forty years old, Ichika's face openly showed disgust. Holding her nose, she retorted:
"What kind of young lady uses such a sharp perfume? It's really nauseating! And with that heavy makeup, you're just ruining my luck in my eyes!"
Hearing this, Ms. Maya first froze, then quickly smelled herself.
The other staff members also noticed this scene and instinctively took a breath. The strong floral scent filled their nostrils, making their already not-so-good expressions even more unpleasant.
"Ms. Maya, I have already stated the production's rules. If you continue to make such outbursts, as the director I will ask you to withdraw from this episode. The program does not lack artists who want to participate."
Director Kudo said with black lines across her face. She was already fed up with people who arrive late and then blame others. Such people have no real ability; they only rely on powerful backers.
"Hmph! Just you wait! And you, you ugly woman over there, just you wait…"
She snorted. Ms. Maya, of course, had a powerful backer. She came to this program only to use this warm-up show as a springboard to enter the official filming of "Current Love."
That was what her backer had promised her; the so-called special invitation slot had already been reserved for her!
Thinking about it, Ms. Maya became even more arrogant. She didn't dare to offend the production, but that little girl with no background, wasn't she the perfect target for bullying?
However, before Ms. Maya could even finish her sentence, in the next moment, a powerful gust of wind roared through the corridor, instantly lifting her to the ceiling and then slamming her heavily onto the ground.
"Let me see whose dog is barking here."
Before the production staff and the muscular man in the sleeveless shirt who came with Ms. Maya could react, the figure of a young man appeared in front of her, placing his foot on her face covered with a thick layer of powder.
"Hey! Kid, what are you doing?!"
After a long moment of shock, the accompanying man finally reacted. He stretched out his large hand to grab the young man standing on his lady's face, but as soon as he extended his hand, a fierce gust of wind suddenly swept through the corridor.
The violent wind mercilessly lifted the man, threw him out of the villa and high into the sky. Immediately afterward, the wind dispersed, and the man fell heavily to the ground.
"Which family are you from, this young lady?"
Ignoring the man, Nakano Yu moved his foot, crouched down, and looked at Maya, who called herself "this young lady," asking with a smile. However, that smile carried an extremely cold killing intent.
"I, I…"
After being beaten like this by Nakano Yu, no matter how stupid or arrogant Maya was, she had to realize that the young man in front of her was definitely someone powerful and influential in Neon, since he dared to ask without fear which wealthy family she belonged to.
But… the problem was that she wasn't a rich lady at all!
She was just a hostess from the red-light district in Kanagawa. She had obtained the qualification to enter the entertainment industry only because she connected with a somewhat influential rich young man. In the end, because of her habit of being arrogant in Kanagawa and her sensitive background, she brazenly pretended to be a wealthy young lady.
"Mr. Yu, she's from Kanagawa, from the Nagasaka family…"
Seeing that the so-called Ms. Maya couldn't explain herself, Nakano Yu shifted his gaze to Director Kudo.
Seeing this, Director Kudo quickly stepped forward and told Nakano Yu everything she knew.
At first, she hadn't wanted this person either; she had no looks, and her personality and background were extremely bad, completely unsuitable for screening. But she couldn't resist the Nagasaka family, who were blind and foolish yet offered a lot of money and had wide connections, so this fool had been pushed in.
Hearing this, Nakano Yu raised an eyebrow and stood up, looking at Maya with interest.
He hadn't expected it, but this person really was a hostess.
"You, you're a man! I warn you, if you touch me again, I'll immediately tell my man! The Nagasaka family is not someone you can afford to offend!"
Seeing Nakano Yu step back after hearing the Nagasaka family name, Ms. Maya thought he was afraid. Trembling, she stood up and shouted.
But while she was speaking, she saw Nakano Yu typing on his phone, not listening to her at all.
After sending the information about the Nagasaka family to Momobami Kirari, Nakano Yu left the matter to her. He put down his phone, looked at the woman shouting in front of him, and raised his hand, and a strong wind rose again.
Before Ms. Maya could react, the powerful wind carried her and the muscular man out of the courtyard.
"Find someone to replace this person and make sure that the next ones who come don't cause any more trouble."
Considering that Ichika was still there, Nakano Yu didn't kill them on the spot. Instead, the strong wind carried them to a mountain forest far away from Okinawa, where they would fall from a height of ten thousand meters and be smashed into pulp.
"That is… Yu, Yu-sama!"
Watching the storm like a miracle, Director Kudo quickly bowed, her attitude becoming even more respectful than before, even using the honorific suffix "sama."
In fact, Director Kudo had been suspicious from the beginning; she was involved in the Tokyo film industry and naturally had heard some big names in the circle mention the true master of Tokyo, a terrifying existence named You.
That existence was above the four major financial groups of Japan, worshiped as the "Human Deity," a great being!
At first, when Director Kudo received the call from the Sanzenin family, she wondered whether the legendary "Yu-sama" would come to their program, but when she saw that the person who came was just a boy, she dismissed the thought.
Only now, when that boy waved his hand and summoned a storm in front of her, did she finally understand.
Only… the other party is too young, isn't he?!
No, she cannot look at that great being with the eyes of an ordinary person. That being is probably hundreds or thousands of years old; perhaps he has a way to maintain eternal youth!
Thinking of this, after hearing the room door close, Director Kudo finally came back to her senses and, after instructing the already terrified staff not to reveal what happened today, went to contact the backup artists.
After all, filming only begins tomorrow, so there is still enough time; it's not too late for the backup artists to come now.
…
After resolving this farce, Nakano Yu returned to his room, just about to continue his lazy lounging, when he noticed that Ichika's gaze was somewhat strange.
"What is it, Ichika? Did those two just disturb you?"
Looking at Ichika sitting beside the bed, the young man wore a gentle smile, as if he were truly the kind older brother next door, asking with concern as he sat beside the girl.
"Hey, Yu, where did you send those two people?"
Ichika asked with a hint of worry; she wasn't worried about them, but she was afraid that it would be bad if Nakano Yu stained his hands with blood because of today's incident.
However, the simple Ichika naturally didn't know that the boy, as the only Demon King in this world, no longer regarded human lives as important; people who angered the Demon King were even less significant than ants by the roadside.
"Well, I threw them out. Don't worry, everything is fine. Anyway, Reina personally taught me; I am a good young man who respects the law."
Seeing Ichika's concern, Nakano Yu waved his hand, lying without even blushing.
However, Nakano Yu had indeed only thrown them out, it's just that he threw them a little too high, but what does that have to do with him? He is only responsible for throwing them; whether they fall and die, what does that have to do with him?
"That's good. Oh, by the way, why isn't Kana here? I remember Kana said she wanted to come."
Hearing this, Ichika relaxed. After all that commotion, Ichika finally remembered to ask about the other groups.
Speaking of which, out of the total three groups, the only person Ichika knew was Arima Kana.
Some time ago, Arima Kana told Ichika that she would participate in the filming of the program "Current Love." At that time, Ichika had been somewhat envious, until her agent contacted her and offered her the same opportunity.
Only then did Ichika realize that what Arima Kana meant by "participating in Current Love" actually referred to the pre-filming.
She just didn't know whether Kana had a boyfriend.
Since knowing Arima Kana, Ichika had never heard the name of any boy from her mouth more than a few times. The name she heard most often was the treasure of the old Nakano family — Nakano Yu.
If Kana doesn't have a boyfriend, she will probably find someone to pretend, right?
Ichika thought so, but in reality she overlooked one thing.
To ask someone to pretend to be your boyfriend, you first have to pay him, and that costs money, and Arima Kana… has no money!
Thus, unfortunately, Arima Kana was eliminated as soon as she got the opportunity.
However, after today's incident, Arima Kana, who was practicing the script in a rented house in Tokyo, received a call:
"This is Itsuki, am I speaking with Ms. Arima? Could you come to Okinawa immediately? You have been specially selected for the program!"
"But, but I don't have a boyfriend?!"
"…A boyfriend is not required!"
"Eh?"
