Chapter 19 Do You Believe It?

"Really..."

Ryutani Nobuyuki stood there with his mouth wide open. He never thought that his granddaughter would have an affair with his old friend's apprentice.

Wrong!

There should be communication.

Still not right!

Ryutani Nobuyuki's thoughts were already confused and he didn't know what words to use to explain this situation. He felt that the first thing to do was to pull Kiryu Nanaya over and beat her into a meat patty in the meat patty steamed egg!

[Where did you two meet? ]

If he didn't believe in the character of his old friend Hanai Ryuichi, Nobuyuki would have mistakenly believed that Ryuichi had secretly brought his apprentice to Illya to trick her into investing.

"Illya, can you tell grandpa how you know that little...big brother Kiryu?" The smile on Nobuyuki's face became extremely distorted. If Illya hadn't been accustomed to his old face, she would have been scared to tears by this devilish expression.

"Hehe~"

Illya puffed out her flat chest and explained proudly, "Didn't my big brother go to Grandpa's office to get investment? After he left, he happened to go to the coffee shop where Illya was, and that's how we met."

[What's with this plot that's just like a romance novel?! ]

Illya didn't notice her grandfather's expression. She continued to tell her story about her encounter with Nanaya: "Illya heard the phone call that grandpa made to big brother. At that time, Illya decided to see what kind of genius this person that grandpa favored was~"

"Why him?"

Illya pouted and complained, "Who told grandpa not to let Illya watch the crew~"

"That's because..."

Nobuyuki was speechless for a moment. He had been trying to prevent Illya from getting in touch with this circle too early. After all, under the glamorous appearance, this circle has an extremely realistic and dark side. Of course, Nobuyuki also knew that as his successor, Illya would not be able to avoid these things forever, but he still hoped that his granddaughter could learn these things that a child should not know as slowly as possible.

I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but Nanaya's crew does not have those dirty things like usual movie crews. Except for that shameless woman, all the staff of the crew are working hard for the goal of making a better movie.

This result made Nobuyuki feel more or less relieved.

"Illya spent the entire spring break watching big brother making movies~ I have to say grandpa really has a good eye, big brother can be said to be a natural director. Although the entire crew was a bit chaotic at the beginning due to lack of experience, he quickly brought the entire crew together."

Although Illya had never observed the filming process of a movie crew as carefully as this time, she had seen some filming situations of the crew when she was a child with Nobuyuki, so she was not a complete novice.

"That kid... No, that's not the question!"

As Nanaya's half-elder, Nobuyuki felt gratified when he heard Illya's description of Nanaya's work. However, when he thought of the other party "kidnapping" his granddaughter, his expression immediately turned angry again.

"Illya, I want to talk to you about why you went to see a boy without permission..."

However, in Illya's mind, Ryutani Nobuyuki was obviously not as good as someone else. Before he finished speaking, Illya interrupted him and said, "No more words, I have to go confirm the budget with my big brother!"

Illya, who had finished her dinner, put down her cutlery, then jumped off the chair and trotted out of the restaurant.

"Um... Illya..."

Nobuyuki's outstretched finger stopped in the air, and he felt bad when he saw the empty seat.

My own good granddaughter has become a bad person!

"Sera..."

Ryutani Nobuyuki, who was full of negative energy, turned his attention to Sera, hoping to know some detailed information from this personal maid.

Sera respected Illya's order and said in a very thick Bangu accent: "Master, Mr. Kiryu is indeed an excellent director. Miss has decided to support his directing career. I believe they will become a model of Bole and Qianlima."

[No, you know that's not what I want to ask! ]

"About the part you're worried about, Master."

Sera's expression suddenly changed. She promised with a cold face, "As long as Mr. Kiryu shows any sign of doing anything, I will make him regret being born into this world."

After saying that, Sera first bowed to Nobuyuki, then turned around and followed Illya out of the restaurant.

"How so..."

Ryutani Nobuyuki stared blankly at Sera's departing back. He felt very lost. His granddaughter actually left his control, which made Nobuyuki become anxious and worried.

On the one hand, he really wanted to sink Nanaya, the guy who deceived Illya (which could be a perspective), into Tokyo Bay to prevent future troubles; but on the other hand, as the disciple of his good friend, he could not attack him directly.

After much thought, Ryutani Nobuyuki found that the only way out was to make "Kara no Kyoukai" an unparalleled success. Only with this result could Illya not be laughed at by others, but even be praised by others; and Kiryu Nanaya could also make his old friend feel gratified with his outstanding performance.

"Boy! Your movie must be a success for me!"

So, late that night, Nanaya, who was busy re-planning his filming schedule in his apartment, inexplicably received a call from the big boss Ryutani Nobuyuki.

"Ha?!"

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Nanaya was a little confused. Did this old man stay up all night just to say this to him?

"Forget it, just consider it as encouragement for me."

Nanaya shook his head, put down his phone and continued his work.

···

The reshoots for "Kara no Kyoukai" went more smoothly than Nanaya had imagined.

After he announced that Ms. Adachi had withdrawn from the crew due to special reasons and that the female lead would be replaced by Ryougi Ori, most of the crew did not object to this and it was even generally welcomed by everyone.

These old hands who have been in the crew for many years had actually noticed that Adachi Satomi was absent-minded during the filming of the movie, and everyone had also seen that Ryougi Ori had been busy with the movie as a crew member.

"In fact, I have always felt that you should have done this a long time ago. I have long seen that woman's mind is not here. It is really gratifying that she has gone away now."

The actress who played Aozaki Touko took time out during a break in the crew to complain to Nanaya.

"Is she so obvious?"

Nanaya sighed. He didn't expect the other party to be so obvious, and he didn't even notice it. Although he was focusing all his attention on the film production and neglected other matters, his immaturity was still revealed.

"Come to think of it, I originally thought you would complain that you, the second female lead, were not promoted to the main female role after the leading female role left."

The actress laughed after hearing this: "Well, I did have this idea at the beginning, but my queen-like personality is not suitable for the role of Ryougi Shiki. Speaking of which, there should be a sequel to this movie, right?"

"If the grades are good."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it. Remember to give Aozaki Touko more roles in the sequel."

The actress blew Nanaya a kiss and walked away twisting her waist.

"She is interested in you. I think you should take the initiative, senior..."

Ori walked up to Nanaya and said, his voice clearly had a hint of feminine nasal tone, probably because he had not yet recovered from the acting state.

"She just wanted to try it out. If my movie fails, she will never come back to me."

Nanaya shrugged and said that he had seen too many women like this, and even his teacher had had several such encounters.

However, for Nanaya now, engaging in unspoken rules is too luxurious. It is better for him to concentrate on completing the production of "Kara no Kyoukai".

When I become a successful director, what will I lack?

"Really? You're not scared anymore?"

Ori looked at Nanaya with some suspicion. He felt that it was unmanly for Nanaya not to go along with the situation at this time.

"Stop talking nonsense. Believe it or not, when I, your senior, become successful, I will be able to live a life of being surrounded by beautiful women!"

"Tsk, what's so cool about an old virgin?"

Ori curled his lips in disdain.

"Hey, don't slander me, I'm not Shonan, I also had a girlfriend!"

But Ori didn't believe Nanaya's words, but thought he was just bragging.

"In a dream?"

"Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth!"

Unfortunately, Ori has already left.
