Chapter 83: Shiki’s “Gifts”

"Shiki, you kid..."

Nanaya could guess who was teasing him without even turning his head.

"Haha, why do you look so unhappy? Could it be that I was right?" Shiki Matsuno pulled his female companion in front of Nanaya with a cunning smile on his face.

Nanaya's best friend wore formal clothes today, which was rare for him, but his hairstyle was still as flamboyant as ever.

"You are here just to make fun of me, right?" Nanaya rolled his eyes and looked at the woman next to Shiki who was pretending to have a happy smile on her face.

"Is this your new girlfriend?"

"No, I knew you wouldn't watch my movie." Shiki waved his hand and said, "This is the heroine of my movie."

Shiki's female companion's face darkened after hearing this. Although she did not expect to become the girlfriend of this young man, the fact that the other party did not even introduce her name in front of his friends showed that her status in his mind was really low.

"Hello, sir. I'm Tanaka Futaba."

Since my male companion didn't introduce me, I have to introduce myself. Since this young man from Toei is so familiar with the other party, then the other party should not be an unknown person. It's always good to have one more connection.

With this thought in mind, Tanaka Futaba had a big smile on her face when she introduced herself.

It's a name I've never heard of. I don't know if he is an 18th-tier celebrity in the original world or a special product of this world.

This was Nanaya's first reaction after hearing the other party's name. After all, apart from those "teachers", the Japanese actresses Nanaya knew were all very famous big names like Yui Aragaki and Namie Amuro.

And the actress Nanaya in front of him had basically no memory of her at all.

However, even though he didn't know him, Nanaya still knew the basic etiquette.

"Hello, my name is Nanaya Kiryu." Nanaya held the hand that the other party extended to him, but he quickly let go.

"Hey, the director of Kara no Kyoukai?"

Tanaka Futaba was very surprised. She had never thought that the other party was a new director of the same level as her boyfriend. After all, Nanaya had not appeared in public very often. Unless someone was specifically trying to get to know him, few people would be able to recognize Nanaya.

The reason for this is not because Nanaya wants to show off or anything else. It is simply because this guy felt bored and did not go to the promotion of "Kara no Kyoukai" before, which resulted in him missing the opportunity to show his face in front of everyone.

Although the subsequent "Magical Girl Illya" was very successful, it was ultimately a special effects drama for children. Although the actors gained huge popularity, Nanaya, as a behind-the-scenes worker, was only known by name.

"Director Kiryu, it's really nice to meet you."

Tanaka Futaba excitedly held Nanaya's hand. For an actress like her who has just become famous, it is the time that she needs to build a good relationship with a director like Nanaya.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Nanaya's reaction was not enthusiastic, but not cold either. He was not familiar with the actress, nor did he know the specific relationship between her and his friend, so he just had to keep his face and get by.

"Shiki, this is Ryutani Illya whom I mentioned to you before, the investor of my current studio."

"Hello, big brother."

"Oh~~"

Shiki dragged out the words, and he looked at Illya carefully. If it were an ordinary person, even the son of a major shareholder of Toei, the first reaction when facing Illya would be her identity as the granddaughter of Ryutani Nobuyuki.

But Matsuno Shiki is obviously not an ordinary person, or his brain circuit structure is completely different from that of normal people.

When Shiki shook hands with Illya, he said with a smile: "I really trouble you to take care of my Nanaya. Although this kid likes to make trouble, he is still very good to his own people."

"Indeed, Onii-chan is so easy to talk to, he is simply a good guy." Illya said and gave Nanaya a resentful look.

[What truth are you talking about, girl? ]

"You've worked really hard, Illya-chan." Shiki called Illya by her nickname in a familiar manner. "My former roommate had a lot of problems, especially snoring at night. It was so loud that I often couldn't sleep. Did Illya-chan sleep well at night?"

Nanaya believed that if this wasn't a public place, he would definitely tear Shiki's mouth off.

"Of course, after all, Illya sleeps in her own room."

[Hey, girl! This answer is very problematic, right? ]

Nanaya was about to speak, but Illya reached out and twisted his back, which made Nanaya only make a strange sound.

"We haven't slept together yet~"

Shiki seemed to have discovered a new world. He ignored Nanaya's murderous gaze and continued to destroy Illya's "image".

"I told Illya-chan that you should keep a close eye on this guy. Nanaya can't walk every time he sees a beautiful girl. I remember when I was in school, I went to the street with him to see beautiful girls. This guy walked from the beginning to the end of the street and stopped 28 times in total. Every time, he was obsessed with those girls with big breasts and big butts."

Nanaya believed that this idiot definitely did it on purpose, because Nanaya was obsessed with appearance, and body shape was not important to him at all.

However, every time Nanaya wanted to refute Shiki, Illya would twist him and interrupt him.

In the end, Nanaya had no choice but to give up struggling and let Shiki talk nonsense.

"Ah, it's getting late. Let's go in first. I wish you a good mood tonight, Nanaya."

Maybe he couldn't make up any more rumors, but Shiki finally stopped talking. He pulled Tanaka Futaba into the award ceremony hall, leaving behind a confused Nanaya and a half-smiled Illya.

Nanaya, sweating profusely, said to Illya who smiled at him: "That Illya, Shiki is always talking nonsense..."

"Look how nervous you are, Onii-chan. Come and wipe it off. But I didn't know Onii-chan was so interesting when she was in college~"

Illya took out a white handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off Nanaya's forehead.

During the whole process, Nanaya just stood there stiffly, not daring to move at all.

"Hey, Onii-chan."

After Illya wiped the sweat off Nanaya, she called him sweetly. A beautiful smile appeared on the little loli's delicate face. She stretched out her hand to hook Nanaya's neck and pulled the man's head in front of her.

"Onii-chan, if you don't want Illya to talk about what we just talked about, you know what I mean, right?"

[No, I don't understand!!!]

Alarm bells rang in Nanaya's mind, and he didn't know why he felt a chill in his heart.

"Well then, Onii-chan. Let's go in."

Unlike the previous red carpet walks, this time it was Illya holding Nanaya's hand and walking forward.

Nanaya was being pulled by Illya like a puppet, and his heart was full of MMP for Matsuno Shiki.

[Shiki, I'm not done with you! Ori, Yumi-chan, anyone, please come and rescue me! There's a little devil here, I'm no match for him! ! ]

In Nanaya's eyes, the door of the award hall is not the stage as others see it, but the lair of the evil dragon, and he is the "princess" who was captured by the evil dragon.

"Ah--sneeze!"

"Are you suffering from a cold?" Tanaka Futaba asked worriedly to Matsuno Shiki beside him.

"No, it must be that kid Nanaya who is saying bad things about me." Shiki said, rubbing his nose with his index finger.

Tanaka Futaba recalled the scene just now and asked solemnly, "Is it okay for you to spread rumors about others like this? Aren't you good friends?"

"I gave him this big gift because we are good friends~"

Shiki had an unusually bright smile on his face at this moment. He could see that the silver-haired loli must have different thoughts about Nanaya. Of course, Shiki knew very well that this different thought was not her love for Nanaya, but the young lady's curiosity about this new toy of Nanaya.

But having this thought is enough. When Shiki was explaining Nanaya's "little secret" to Illya, he implied that all this was nonsense, but that doesn't stop you from using these things as a handle to deal with Nanaya.

Shiki believed that the young lady of the Ryutani family was smart enough to understand what he meant. And Shiki also believed that the young lady would never miss such an opportunity to control Nanaya.

As for what happens afterwards, as long as two people spend a long time together, then it won't be a problem for novelty to turn into favorability.

Shiki has great confidence in the charm value of his brothers.

"Brother, you must seize this great opportunity that I have created for you. You must know that she is the daughter of [Lin Bao] Ryutani's family. Marrying her is not as simple as saving ten years of hard work. The last person who did this is now having a great time in the United States. But Mr. Ryutani Nobuyuki will probably be very angry. His daughter and granddaughter both married poor boys. I really want to see his expression then. But how should they thank me as a matchmaker then? Or just let their future children be named Raku if they are boys and Yukino if they are girls?"

Looking at Matsuno Shiki who was smiling like a great devil, Tanaka Futaba instinctively took a step away from him.

··

After entering the award hall, Nanaya and Illya followed the path specially opened up by the organizer and came to the seat belonging to their "Kara no Kyoukai" crew.

Because of the excellent box office performance of "Kara no Kyoukai" and the close relationship between the crew and [Lin Bao], the organizer arranged a very good seat.

This seat at the back center of the guest seats has a great view, allowing you to see the podium clearly. It is also easy to be captured by the camera, so it can be said to be an excellent seat.

Unfortunately, except for Nanaya and Illya, the rest of the crew of "Kara no Kyoukai" had not arrived yet. So Nanaya could only sit in his seat, listening to music and yawning in boredom.

If it weren't for the Matsuno Shiki incident, Nanaya might have been able to see some beauties now. However, because of what happened just now, Nanaya could only focus on the empty podium.

After all, the beautiful girl next to him was staring at him. Even if Nanaya had ten times the courage, he would not dare to look at the beautiful girl to relieve his boredom at this time.

But Illya didn't think so.

The cute and well-behaved young lady once again showed her signature devilish smile. She teased Nanaya with great interest: "Hey, Onii-chan. Why don't you look at beautiful women? Didn't Brother Matsuno just say that you like looking at beautiful women very much?"
