Chapter 11 Press Conference

"Well, what happened last night isn't exactly what you thought it was. The one who returned to the apartment with me last night was my good friend, Reina-chan's brother. We were very familiar with each other before, and when I came home yesterday, I saw that his body was already wet from the rain, so I took him to my apartment to deal with it, and then Reina also came to me, and then we were a little overjoyed, and before we knew it, we played late, so Reina-chan and his brother stayed with me......"

"So, may I ask what the man's name is......"

Just after Akemi was a little nervous about her experience last night through the microphone, a reporter suddenly raised her hand and asked Akemi.

"I'm sorry, the other party is neither an actor nor an entertainer, he is just an ordinary person, so I can't name him!"

Akemi picked up the microphone and put it to her lips, politely rejecting the reporter's question. She didn't want to involve Lin Xiuyi, because Lin Xiuyi was an outsider at all, and if she attracted the attention of the media, Lin Xiuyi would definitely fall into distress.

"So, you just don't want to reveal the man's true identity? However, it seems that someone has already discovered that he is a civil servant working at Sakurada Gate, and it is said that he is still a police officer!

The reporter who asked the question obviously had bad intentions, and had carefully investigated Lin Xiuyi's identity. So he was asking Akemi questions very skillfully, looking forward to asking Akemi to say something exciting under his nervousness.

"You already knew him when I was filming 'The Island Doctor'! I did a little bit of research, and it was said that you were already living with the man at the time! After that, when you returned to Tokyo, you saw each other often, and we all saw that the gentleman left your apartment in the morning as if he was wearing a different outfit...... So, you're lying, aren't you?"

"I didn't!"

Faced with the other party's questioning, Akemi left tears of grievance, and Reina, who was sitting on the side, saw that Akemi seemed to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown. So I subconsciously held Akemi's little hand. Gently comforted her.

"You've also previously revealed to viewers on the show that you have developed a crush on an adult man who is older than you. So you've been living together for a long time, aren't you......"

"I didn't!"

……

Seeing that Akemi's situation is getting worse and worse, Sae Takashima couldn't help but sigh, it's not that she doesn't want to help Akemi, but offending reporters in this situation is simply adding fuel to the fire, because idols and fans rely on the media to connect. Now Sae Takashima has already begun to plan how to conduct public relations through other channels after the press conference.

But Reina couldn't suppress the anger in her heart! She slammed up from her seat, snatched the microphone in front of Akemi, and then said unceremoniously to the reporters in the audience.

"You guys, are you here to frame you? It's just too bad!"

I don't know if it's because I'm too excited, Akemi suddenly burst out with a Tsugaru accent. As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

"It's something that hasn't happened, so why do you have to be forced to admit it. Is it true that you are here to distort the facts, and if you do not confess what you have never done, as you would like, you will not be able to go back?"

"Hey, who are you? We're here to interview Miss Akemi, not you, a nobody!"

"Who am I, I am the other person who stayed at Reina's house last night. And the man you are referring to is my own brother! Why are you unwilling to admit the facts that we have witnessed, and do you have to give an account of what you have never done before in order to satisfy you?"

"On the way here, I've read a lot of reports about last night's events. While you are slandering Akemi-chan, you are also portraying my brother as a frivolous man. But in fact, you don't know him at all, he is not only my brother, but also the person I respect in the world. Akemi-chan was betrayed by her agency and had to turn to my brother for help, because my brother is a very good police officer, and that's the real reason why they know each other......"

Takashima Sae raised his head slightly, looking at Reina-chan, who was standing on the stage and reprimanding the reporters in the audience majestically, he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration from his heart. How dare this wild girl say it! She said what the office and Akemi herself would never dare to say.

For a long time, the media has been a force that artists must not offend. Especially in the face of scandals, most artists have no choice but to bow their heads and admit this choice to reporters' questions. Even if what the other party says is not the truth, even if you have to admit that you have not done something.

"If you say that we are distorting the facts, why didn't Akemi personally stand up and deny it! Moreover, she said on the show before that she had a crush on a man who was older than her, and this kind of thing can't be said to be made up by us!"

The reporter who came to find fault did not mess up because of Reina's snatching of white. Moreover, his purpose is not a nobody, Akemi is his ultimate goal.

"So, Miss Sonoji, if the older man you mentioned earlier isn't the man you photographed yesterday, then who is he?"

"This kind of thing, why do you want to say it, is it true that Akemi has someone she likes silently in her heart, so she must say it, right?"

Just when Reina was about to continue to defend Akemi, Akemi suddenly stopped Reina. She gently twisted Reina's body around. Then he smiled and shook his head at Reina. Then she picked up the microphone in Reina's hand, took a deep breath, and began to say as if talking to herself:

"It seems that there is really no secret after becoming an artist!"

Akemi lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Then he shook his head and continued:

"Yes, I did have a crush on an older man. However, I never mentioned this to the other party. So, until now, it was just wishful thinking!"

"So that man, are you willing to speak up?" asked the reporter who asked the question.

"Hey, there's actually no point in saying it, just last night, I was finally sure he already had someone he liked!"
