Oh shit!

Why are they here too!!!

The lustful look on Nagano Nao's face froze instantly.

A quiet and delicate face was not far away.

Her long black hair was tied up in a bun, and a wooden hairpin tied up her hair into the hairstyle of a Tang Dynasty lady.

On her smooth forehead were two thick, sword-like eyebrows like those of a man, but her skin was as white as cream, her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her upward-curled eyelashes surrounded a pair of lively peach blossom eyes, which were dark and deep. Her small and exquisite facial features added a unique temperament.

She wore white tabi on her feet and a Yuzen-dyed kimono on her body. The pure white collar was embroidered with gorgeous and elegant embroidery. The fine pink silk reflected the light, and the patterns were evenly distributed. The exquisite workmanship was obviously the work of a famous artist.

There is also a satin belt tied around the waist, inlaid with agate and diamonds, with a huge emerald in the middle that is so green and lush, it is luxurious and extravagant without being too ostentatious.

Who else could it be if not Sakurako Ikeda.

Such a casual outfit would cost tens of millions of yen. Among all the women Nagano Nagano knows, she is the only one who can change into a new outfit every time.

His throat moved unwillingly.

It’s not because Ikeda Sakurako’s face is pretty, but mainly because of that half-smile on her face and those deep, unfathomable eyes that seem to be able to see right through people’s hearts.

The most terrifying thing is that there is a shadow next to her, with a frosty face and eyes that look down on life, which makes people feel creepy at a glance.

It felt really bad to be stared at by two people like this.

One person in particular was holding a knife.

All right!

That's not the point.

The main reason is that I feel guilty!

I'm so panicked!

But you must not panic at a time like this. Ikeda is a meticulous person, and if something is discovered about your expression, you'll be doomed.

In a split second, the lewd look on Nagano Nao's face turned into anger: "Just now there was a guy sneaking around here and looked very wretched. There's always a pervert stealing underwear nearby recently. It must be this bastard who did it!!"

An underwear thief?

Ikeda Sakurako was stunned by such an excuse.

But then, I wanted to go over and beat this guy to death.

Damn you! If Xiao Jing hadn't told me right away, I would have been fooled by you!

But some things cannot be exposed, and Ikeda Sakurako also acted and said: "There is such a thing?! Did you see who it was?!"

"That guy ran too fast, so I didn't see it."

"Damn it! There are actually perverts like this. Xiaoye, be more vigilant next time. If you see a thief stealing something, just confiscate his tools."

Ikeda Koye glanced at Nagano Nao before agreeing expressionlessly.

This made Nagano Nao feel a chill between his legs.

Why is she looking at me? Did she notice something?!

Won't!

Definitely not.

Even if Ikeda is a pervert, he will definitely not let me off easily! I guess I am guilty! Damn it!

It's true that stealing someone's life feels good for a while, but if you don't do it right, you'll end up in the crematorium!

You have to be extra careful next time.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

While Sakurako Ikeda was not paying attention, Nagano Nao gave Sawaguchi Yasuko a resentful look, but she responded with a playful look, as if to say, let's see if you dare to be so naughty.

So seductive.

Her eyes are bright and watery, and just a glance back is extremely charming and captivating.

Just a glance and Nagano was aroused and recalled the entanglement between them and that charming voice.

I felt hot and impulsive inside, and a bold idea emerged in my mind.

It would definitely be more exciting if it was in front of Ikeda !

How could I have such a bold idea! Isn't this courting death? ! But once this idea came up, I couldn't stop it.

I quickly sat down and had a cup of tea to distract myself.

Eh? Ikeda Sakurako is holding a comic book in her hand. The style of the comic book is pretty good. There are several other comic books on the table. The first one is titled "Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Hero's Night Light"

Nagano Nao couldn't help but become interested. He sat down cross-legged and picked up a book to read.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Ten Eunuchs caused chaos in the harem and endangered the court. The child emperors were killed one after another, and the foreign relatives were omnipotent and monopolized power.

The Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter Luoyang and kill his ministers. His adopted son Lu Bu Fengxian was a military god who was able to defeat a hundred people alone.

Outside, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jue launched a peasant uprising under the banner of "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is blessed with good fortune."

The world is in chaos and many heroes are vying for supremacy.

Liu Bei, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, was inspired by fate to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Eventually, the three of them swore brotherhood in Peach Garden and joined the wave of heroes fighting for supremacy. Naoto Nagano has never been able to resist comics and cartoons.

I watched it with great interest for a while and before I knew it, I became obsessed with it.

Forgot the time.

Forgot the location.

Sakurako Ikeda didn't find it strange at first. She was jealous of this guy for having sex with her woman.

Although I can't expose it, the more I take a step back, the angrier I get. The more I endure, the more I feel at a loss. I'm still thinking about how to get revenge.

But after waiting for a while, he found it too quiet, so he glanced at Nagano Nao, who was completely absorbed in the subject, as if he was dumbfounded and just turned the pages of a book.

What's wrong with this guy? Could it be that this guy has already seen the power of this comic? I feel an indescribable satisfaction in my heart.

I am really amazing that I have trained a very naive guy to the point where he can understand cultural strategies at a glance.

Such a growth rate is really gratifying!

With this thought in mind, Ikeda Sakurako smiled and said, "What do you think of this comic, straight man?"

"What?" Nagano Nao came back to his senses and asked since he didn't hear it.

"I asked you what you think of Toei's comics."

“It’s so beautiful!”

Nagano Nao said with conviction.

Although it’s a bit disappointing that works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms have always been unique in Japan and popular all over the world, it is indeed wonderful to put the work here.

The art style is just average, but the characters and the story are very detailed, making it a rare good comic.

After saying.

Nagano Nao started reading comics with great interest again, completely ignoring the three delicate beauties in front of him.

Sakurako Ikeda finally felt something was wrong.

He looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi with confusion, as if asking, "You slept with this guy, do you know what this idiot is thinking?"

Zekou's face felt slightly hot, he covered his mouth and chuckled, indicating that he didn't know either.

Ikeda Koye couldn't stand it anymore and looked at him asking if she should kill this idiot.

Flipping through the comic in his hand, Naoto Nagano didn't even notice that three pairs of eyes were looking at him strangely, as if they were looking at an idiot.

Ikeda Sakurako wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time.

There were three beautiful women right in front of him, but this idiot just ignored them and read comics. Was his brain broken? He really couldn't understand the attraction of comics to men.

I could tolerate having my woman robbed, but now I am being ignored like a comic book. This is intolerable.

Ikeda Sakurako kicked him immediately.

The snow-white tabi kicked Nagano Nao's calf accurately.

He screamed in pain.

Nagano asked confusedly, "Why did you kick me, Ikeda?"

"Straight guy, are you still so naive? Can't you use your brain when I asked you that?"

"What?"

Are you really reading a comic? Are you so engrossed in it? Is there any hope for such a single-celled organism?

I feel like my hard work has been wasted.

Ikeda Sakurako said with a look of disappointment: "Toei is planning to adapt these comics into animations. Comparing them with Li Xianglan's drama, which one do you think will have a greater impact?"

“.”

If it was before.

Nagano Nao naturally didn't understand what this meant.

It's just a cartoon, right?

No matter how big the impact is, it’s just a matter of how much money you make.

But as one's status has improved, the levels of contact have changed, and one's horizons have also changed. One knows that even cartoons are related to politics, diplomacy, and power games.

Because since the Plaza Accord in 1985, Japan has made preparations for both scenarios driven by the general trend.

On the one hand, a large amount of currency was issued to dilute the export pressure brought about by the internationalization and appreciation of the yen. On the other hand, overseas industrial expansion was accelerated to reduce domestic investment costs and leave room for today's situation.

As the world changes, the destiny of China has been determined.

With vast land, hundreds of millions of people, and everyone with the same skin color, there is no country more suitable for investment than China.

It is just a historical problem. It is not easy for an invader to invest there.

Although China needs Japan's capital and technology, there are disputes among the people of both sides, and the hatred left over from history must be resolved.

There is no doubt that culture is the key to deepening mutual exchanges and eliminating rifts.

"If we're talking about influence, naturally the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a greater influence." Nagano Nao immediately realized why Ikeda Sakurako was angry, and immediately spoke out based on the possibilities he knew.

But I didn't expect that these words would attract three pairs of murderous looks.

"Asshole? In your eyes, is Xiao Jing not even better looking than the anime?"

"Nagano-kun, do you think my acting is terrible?"

“.”

"That's not what I meant!"

"To say that comics have a greater influence than Li Xianglan is just to say that Xiao Jing is not as good as comics."

"I know my acting is terrible, but is it really that bad?!"

Ikeda Sakurako glared, dissatisfied that her woman was looked down upon.

Yasuko Sawaguchi had a resentful look in her eyes, and it was unclear whether she was complaining that she was not as good-looking as the comics in the eyes of Nagano's straight men, or whether she was worried that the company's investment in the drama in which she starred would fail.

As for Ikeda Koye, she still had no expression on her face, but her eyes were quite unfriendly.

Normally, I think women are pretty and I feel comfortable no matter how fierce they are, but now I just think women are really annoying! However, now that he has provoked a hornet's nest, Nagano Nao can only admit his weakness: "Can you please be reasonable?"

"Damn it, it's you who looks down on Xiao Jing, and you actually said that we are unreasonable?"

"Sister Xiaoye, calm down. Please let me talk."

"Xiaoye, let him quibble."

Get the order.

Ikeda Xiaoye put away the knife and gave a warning look.

But being stared at by three pairs of unfriendly eyes was still very stressful.

"In terms of short-term influence, Li Xianglan's anti-war drama will naturally have a greater impact. It can help the Chinese people understand that the Japanese people are also victims of the war, let the Chinese know our reflections on the war, and help the domestic people better understand history and eliminate the pressure of strategic investment."

"Aren't you stupid, straight man? I'm satisfied that you can understand this."

What the fuck is that?

I don't quite understand why Sakurako Ikeda reacted so strongly and her attitude suddenly became so bad.

As for the prophecy of death, Nagano Naoto never took it seriously. If a normal person knew when he would die, he would have gone crazy long ago.

But even though Sakurako Ikeda is a pervert, she still looks normal.

As an outsider, he simply could not understand the extreme mentality of suppressing emotions and human nature, and preparing the future for all those he loved.

But he always knew that he was not as smart as Ikeda, and he was indeed training him. Nagano Nao was not embarrassed by being scolded. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's all because of your good teaching, Mr. Ikeda. If it was before, I would definitely not understand it!"

This is very comforting.

Knowing that she had just been too emotional, Sakurako Ikeda rolled her eyes and said, "If you say something like that, it means you're a straight man who thinks your youth is better than blue. The long-term impact won't be as great as this animation, right?"

"Of course not! It's mainly because of the difference between men and women and the popularity of television in China. Generally, women watch TV series, while anime is liked by men and can be adapted into games, becoming popular in arcades."

Nagano Nao shared his understanding in light of the current situation.

Ikeda Sakurako no longer had the ability to plan and strategize as usual, with everything under control. Her thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was obviously wondering if she was missing something.

Soon, she realized that she had overlooked a lot.

If we were to ask which period of Chinese history the Japanese admire the most, it would naturally be the Tang Dynasty.

But if you ask which period of China the Japanese are most obsessed with, it must be the Three Kingdoms period.

As early as the early Edo period, the nobility generally read Chinese books directly. The famous Confucian scholar Hayashi Razan mentioned in a letter in the ninth year of Keicho that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was on his reading list.

Over a long period of time, in the development of Confucianism in Japan, the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, holiness and loyalty gradually evolved into benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, holiness and loyalty, and the core of loyalty was comprehensively strengthened during the shogunate era.

Because the shogunate era can be said to be the last era of the samurai.

In order to promote the spirit of Bushido, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has many points that are similar to the spirit of samurai, so there are more and more literary works about the Three Kingdoms.

Influenced by literature, the Japanese at that time particularly liked a classic scene from the Three Kingdoms: a rider on horseback.

This is what is called personal heroism, the way of chivalry.

People believe that those who possess the ability to lead a war on horseback are Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but Guan Yu is the most loyal and is also often depicted in Ukiyo-e paintings of chivalrous men.

The most outrageous thing is that the great devil Oda is called the Cao Cao of Japan.

Takenaka Hanbei was called "Japan's Zhuge Liang" because he assisted Toyotomi Hideyoshi in winning a series of wars.

Even Honda Tadakatsu is called "Japan's Zhang Fei".

Such worship has led Japanese men to admire Guan Erge very much and to be obsessed with the Three Kingdoms.

The social production structure determines that men will inevitably be the main body. Although men will watch TV dramas, they do prefer games and animation, and arcades will come into contact with more people.

man!

woman!

I had actually ignored such a serious problem by instinct! But even so, it was embarrassing to admit that I had not considered it carefully.

Don’t I, Sakurako Ikeda, have any respect?

"It seems like you have really made some progress, straight man. I thought this test would be difficult for you, but I am quite satisfied that you can give such an answer."
