Chapter 40
A Public Confession from Aina the End? Kenshi Yonezu and Masaki Suda? He Rundong Is Here Too?!

“This is Asahi Shimbun, where you can get the daily news!”

The host and reporter, Bai Xu Xu, sent by the Central Mother, professionally picked up the microphone and described the lively situation at the scene to the camera lens.

“As you can see, we've also arrived outside the ‘Dong Ri Yang Props Peripheral Store’, and the surrounding area is full of fans who are queuing up to buy peripherals for ‘Amazons’. This shows how popular the show is right now! Of course, in order to respond to this enthusiasm, Lin Feng, the creator of ‘Amazons’, has personally transformed into Eagle Mountain Ren and is signing autographs for every fan who comes here in the store!”

“In addition, a special rest area has been set up on the second floor. It seems that when it reaches six o'clock, two new episodes of ‘Amazons’ that just aired today will be played here. Many fans who didn't even buy the peripherals are eagerly preparing to join in the fun. This scene of like-minded fans gathering together is truly rare!”

“Next, let's interview a few familiar faces in the queue!”

Having said that,

Bai Xu Xu walked towards a girl with the microphone in hand,

“Hello, are you the famous voice actress, Sakamoto Maaya?”

As the camera focused on Sakamoto Maaya,

the audience watching the news broadcast also saw a line of subtitles appear beside her,

simply introducing Sakamoto Maaya's identity,

making those who were unfamiliar with her more familiar with her,

while those who were familiar with her felt quite surprised!

After all,

this was the first time a voice actress had appeared on Central Mother's interview program,

many of Sakamoto Maaya's fans felt unexpected!

“It’s me, hello everyone.”

Sakamoto Maaya greeted the camera without any stage fright,

although she was a voice actress, a behind-the-scenes worker,

she had also participated in many variety shows,

demonstrating her voice acting skills in front of the public on the shows,

therefore, she was not afraid of interviews and cameras, on the contrary, she felt like she was in her comfort zone.

“So, did you come here while shopping or specifically to buy the peripherals?”

Hearing this,

Sakamoto Maaya blushed slightly, looked at Lin Feng who was still signing autographs for fans not far away, and smiled, “To be precise, I came for Mr. Lin Feng.”

Bai Xu Xu showed a knowing smile and said meaningfully, “I didn't expect you to be a fan of the tokusatsu drama ‘Amazons’. This is a bit of a contrast to Sakamoto Maaya’s pure and cute image.”

Sakamoto Maaya shyly laughed twice and said, “Actually, I have said on many shows that my ideal type is a guy like Mr. Lin Feng, so, hehe.”

These words surprised Bai Xu Xu a little,

he didn't even ask Sakamoto Maaya about her ideal type,

because everyone knew,

although Sakamoto Maaya was a voice actress,

she also attracted a large number of fans with her beautiful appearance,

people even gave her a nickname, “Political Commissar”.

Therefore,

for an artist like her,

it was taboo to be asked about emotional matters in public,

and as a professional host, Bai Xu Xu,

naturally wouldn't touch this line,

but he never expected,

that Sakamoto Maaya would speak up on her own!

Was this considered a self-exposure?

Moreover, judging from her expression, could she truly have fallen for Lin Feng?

However, Bai Xu Xu thought about it for a moment,

then turned his head and looked around at the crowd,

half of the girls,

must have been attracted by Lin Feng, right?

Although Sakamoto Maaya was an artist, she was ultimately a girl,

liking Lin Feng seemed reasonable?

However, Sakamoto Maaya’s words,

didn't cause much of a stir online,

the main reason was that she said it on a news interview program,

Central Mother’s program, to put it bluntly, was watched more by middle-aged and elderly people,

and Sakamoto Maaya's fan base was mostly young people,

naturally, it wouldn't cause too much impact.

“Okay, thank you, Ms. Sakamoto Maaya. Now, let's interview the second person...”

Bai Xu Xu turned around,

his gaze quickly locked onto the second interviewee,

when the camera turned towards him,

many viewers couldn't help but exclaim,

【Whoa! Eight-Master?!】

【It’s really Eight-Master?! He looks so downcast, it must be him!】

【Eight-Master is also a fan of ‘Amazons’?! Great, now we’re having a double chef’s delight!】

【I never thought I'd see Eight-Master on Central Mother's interview video one day, this is insane!】

【…】

That’s right,

the person Bai Xu Xu had targeted as the second interviewee at this time,

was the singer, Hoshizora Yoshie, who had topped the music charts of the Neon Administrative District with multiple musical works in recent years!

“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the singer Hoshizora Yoshie?”

Bai Xu Xu enthusiastically extended his hand to him,

Hoshizora Yoshie, who was a bit of a socialphobe, bowed and nodded, before finally shaking his hand,

“Hello, hello everyone.”

Compared to Sakamoto Maaya, he wasn't as natural.

However, it was still okay to ask some simple questions.

“So, are you here to buy peripherals?”

Hoshizora Yoshie nodded,

“In a way, but I was mainly attracted by the theme song of the first season of ‘Amazons’. That song gave me some inspiration for writing a new song. I just happened to be passing by here, so I stopped by. Another reason is that my friend here is also a fan of ‘Amazons’.”

He then slightly stepped back,

revealing the other guy beside him to the camera,

“Huh? Me?”

The guy was a little surprised,

but after making eye contact with Hoshizora Yoshie,

he immediately understood what the other guy meant,

after all, Bai Xu Xu represented the Imperial Capital Television Station,

being on camera could definitely boost one’s fame!

So the guy quickly got into character and smiled, introducing himself, “My name is Sugawara Koki, I’m a newcomer actor. I’m interested in Mr. Lin Feng’s portrayal of Eagle Mountain Ren, so I came here to buy peripherals and chase stars.”

The guy had a very handsome smile and looked good on camera,

Lin Feng, who was signing autographs from afar, noticed him and immediately recognized him as Philip,

but he scanned the area and didn’t find the other half of W,

as for his relationship with Hoshizora Yoshie,

he had known it in the past life,

the two of them were close friends in private,

and they had even collaborated on songs together,

so it wasn't surprising that they appeared together at this time.

However, for Lin Feng,

he could find an opportunity later to sign this future Philip actor first.

Bai Xu Xu chatted with Hoshizora Yoshie and Sugawara Koki for a while longer,

then he approached the third interviewee,

as soon as he appeared,

Central Mother’s live stream was instantly flooded with a barrage of bullet comments!

【Finally someone I recognize!】

【Oh my god! Isn't this… the one who has played all the roles that every guy wants to play?!】

【Yes, it’s him! Lü Bu, Xiang Yu, Bu Jingyun, Yan Shisan, Erlang Shen!!!】

【Don't come near me!!!】

【How can you send a voice message upstairs???】

【…】

The Neon Administrative District had merged with the Celestial Dynasty,

after all, it was only a little over twenty years ago,

twenty years ago, this actor had already become a household name,

he was none other than He Run Dong!!!

“Hello, host!”

As soon as Bai Xu Xu approached, He Run Dong greeted him proactively with a smile,

“Hello everyone!”

“It’s obvious that Mr. He Run Dong is in a good mood.”

Bai Xu Xu joked with a smile,

“You came for Lin Feng too?”

“Of course!”

He Run Dong admitted without hesitation,

“After watching him play Kamen Rider Amazon-Alfa! I also really want to play a Kamen Rider! That’s why I came here to get acquainted with director Lin Feng, maybe I’ll have a chance in the future?”

For his frankness,

many viewers nodded in agreement,

he was also an old actor,

he hadn’t had any breakout works in recent years,

he had been living off his past glory,

so it was reasonable to come to Lin Feng to seek a breakthrough,

and he even came to the scene in person to look for opportunities,

which was much better than many people who wanted to find job opportunities but were unwilling to take the initiative.

“Alright, I wish you all the best in playing a Kamen Rider one day!”

After Bai Xu Xu finished speaking,

this episode of the news interview ended,

and at the same time,

the autograph session was coming to a close,

the big screen on the second floor also began to light up,

as the time reached six o'clock sharp,

the ninth and tenth episodes of ‘Amazons’ began airing immediately!
