"I know," Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "I also watched the live broadcast last night."

"As expected of Akina-san, you are so awesome!"

Okada Yukiko was as excited as if she was the one to win the grand prize.

After hanging up the phone from Yukiko Okada, Shinichi Iwahashi finally took a break. Walking into the living room, Chiyo Iwahashi said to him, "Shinichi's phone calls have been constant since early morning. He is quite busy."

"His job is to communicate with others." Masaaki Iwahashi said slowly.

In his third year in Beijing, his son opened his own production company. Despite this, when he returned home, Iwahashi Masaaki hardly asked him about his work.

"Speaking of this, I was chatting with Mrs. Ueno next door a while ago, and I heard her say that the lead singer of a band called Begin in Band Heaven is a very kind young man."

Chiyo Iwahashi, who was reading a magazine, added that it was not because he didn't care about his son's career.

After hearing what she said, Shinichi Iwahashi thought of the shy face of Begin's lead singer Higa Eisho, and felt that it was not strange that he would be supported by an older housewife.

While thinking about it, I heard Chiyo Iwahashi chuckle twice.

"What's wrong?" Masaki Iwahashi asked.

"This comic is really interesting." Chiyo Iwahashi said, "It would be nice to have a daughter like Maruko-chan."

"What little balls?"

"This," Chiyo Iwahashi raised the magazine in her hand, "is a manga called "Chibi Maruko-chan". The author is also from Shizuoka, and the background of the manga is also Shizuoka. It looks very familiar."

"Chibi Maruko-chan?" Shinichi Iwahashi thought.

"Yes, it's a comic serialized in "Ribon". This was a joint issue released last week, but I was too busy before the Chinese New Year, so I haven't read it yet." Chiyo Iwahashi said.

"Just because of this, I am already an old woman, but I still buy girls' comics magazines as if nothing has happened." Masaaki Iwahashi teased his wife.

Chiyo Iwahashi was too lazy to answer, so he said that the couple couldn't even quarrel.

However, for Iwahashi Shinichi, when he heard the name of this comic, the first thing that came to his mind was... crackling?

Speaking of which, when did Chibi Maruko-chan begin to be animated?

As he was talking, Shinichi Iwahashi's pager rang again.

Iwahashi Masaaki looked at his son and joked: "Here you go again, it's a rare trip home, but Tokyo keeps calling you."

Masaaki Iwahashi had a special speaking skill, which was to speak in a serious and cold-blooded way. Shinichi Iwahashi broke into a cold sweat and stood up to answer the phone.

This pager was called by Akina Nakamori.

After exchanging contact information, Iwahashi Shinichi never dialed this number, and Nakamori Akina never dialed this number.
