Chapter 98: The Lost Light of Mizuho Yasuko

  At 9:00 AM, Mitsuko Hikari arrived at the Bayshore studio.

  As the large studio of Fuji TV, this place has always been the main recording venue for various TV programs of Fuji TV. As a popular comedian, Mitsuko Kouno is also very familiar with this place. Under the leadership of her agent, she came to a dressing room with familiarity.

  In the dressing room, a makeup artist was already waiting here. Next to the makeup artist was a judo uniform.

  Mitsuru Akiyoshi didn't ask anything and sat down in front of the mirror.

  The makeup artist came over, starting to work on Guangpu while saying: "This is the Olympics, after all. Today we're doing a special Olympic program, and you need to be made up as a judo athlete, so the makeup will be thicker."

  "Okay..." replied Kōura Yasuko somewhat listlessly.

  Judo is Japan's most advantageous event at the Olympics, and it has always been their gold medal winner, so relatively speaking, Japanese judokas are also well-known.

  Mitsuru Kōura didn't know what she was going to do today before arriving at the studio. For these small things, it's basically all decided by her agent, and only when there's a big or important job that requires her to make a decision on whether to take it or not will the agent tell her; otherwise, just following the usual routine of arriving at the studio for makeup and filming is fine, no need to worry too much.

  The makeup artist applied various strange things to Kōji's face with great effort, and in just a few strokes, she was transformed into a white-faced woman. However, such makeup seemed somewhat too exaggerated and comical. Kōji looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but ask: "Is today's show a formal one? Why do we need to have such an exaggerated makeup?"

  "Because it's a special program, we're taking an entertainment approach rather than a sports one, so that audiences who aren't very familiar with sports can quickly understand the just-concluded Olympics," the agent explained.

  "Alright." replied Kōra Yasuko.

  Making up was really a very troublesome thing, even if this time's makeup was very rough and general, the makeup artist had been working on it for half an hour. Finally, Guangpu's face was done. Then put on pure white judo uniform, a real Japanese judoka appeared.

  However, Kō's face was as white as a female ghost at this moment. Coupled with her comical hairstyle and outfit, although it was easy to tell what she was portraying, it still made people feel amused.

  "Is... this really okay?" Mitsuru asked himself in front of the mirror, after all it's a sports program, isn't this appearance a bit too much?

  "I think it's pretty good, very distinctive..." said the broker after a moment of scrutiny.

  "Whatever... forget it." said Mitsuo Akechi. She wasn't some elegant idol, just a comedian who had done all sorts of ugly and exaggerated makeup before. Dressing up as an ugly person was no big deal. Since both her manager and the makeup artist said it was fine, she might as well go with it.

  Under the guidance of the agent, Mitamura Yasuko walked out unsteadily.

  "Koumei Yasuko-san has arrived!" someone shouted, and with that shout, various tones of "good morning" echoed around her. Koumei Yasuko also greeted the people around her while taking in her surroundings.

  What appeared before her was a wall about three meters high and ten meters wide, with three doors painted on it. The material of the wall looked very hard, but the three doors seemed relatively fragile. Seeing this setup, Mitsuko Hikawa, who had a lot of experience, naturally understood the meaning behind this plan.

  The deputy director of the scene came up to explain: "Next, we will give you a question. The answer options for the question will appear above the three doors. You just need to choose the correct door and rush over, as long as you succeed, we will give you a reward."

  "It's okay, no problem." replied Mitamura Yasuko. This ordinary little skit is actually very simple, even if it's a female idol doing it, it can still have a pretty good comedic effect. Having this actress do it is really a waste of her talent.

  "Should I intentionally choose a wrong option?" Akira Mitsuhashi thought to herself, if she chose a wrong option and fell down, she suspected that the other side was probably covered with white flour, and when she landed on it, it would be a common scene often seen in variety shows.

  However, this idea was immediately rejected by Kōmori Yasuko. The reason lies in her current makeup, which is already thickly applied to her face. If she were to do it now, there wouldn't be any particularly noticeable smile lines on her face, and afterwards, she would have to change clothes and reapply makeup, which would be a hassle. So, she simply decided to answer correctly instead. As for what if she accidentally answered incorrectly? She is an elite student at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, and English is her strongest subject, so her understanding of foreign cultures is also quite good. At this moment, even though the program staff hadn't asked any questions yet, looking at the options on the three doors, Kōmori Yasuko could choose the correct answer without even hearing the question.

  The three cloth doors had the names of three foreign cities written on them: "Sydney", "Canberra" and "Ottawa". Combining this with what she was wearing and what the makeup artist said, Akira Mitani thought that the question would be 99% likely to be "In which city were the just-ended Olympics held?"

  "Alright, let's get started, 5! 4! 3! 2!" The assistant director's hand flashed in front of the camera with a final "1", then swung down sharply.

  With this swing, a broadcaster on the side holding a microphone said, "So, Kōda Yukiko-san, listen to the question: Which city hosted the just-ended Olympics?"

  "Ah...... En......" Mitaka Yasuko pretended to think for a few seconds before saying to the camera, "I understand, let's begin!"

  As she spoke, she swayed and rushed towards the gate of Sydney.

  Bang bang bang, Guangpu rushed to the door and slammed into it with a low body, hitting the door he had already aimed at.

  Tear it!

  Mitsuru felt like he easily broke through the obstacles in front of him and landed heavily on the soft, fluffy mat-covered floor.

  It's true, it seems I'm just a part of the process after all.

  Mitsuru thought.

  This seemingly childish simple question actually uses such a grand and magnificent backdrop, I don't know what the TV station is thinking.

  Huh? Wait a minute, something seems off...

  Mitsuko Mihara found that the place she dived into... also had a very good backdrop, and this backdrop seemed to have no relation to the previous Olympic program.

  What she saw was actually a classroom! On the podium in the classroom, standing there was the already very familiar comedian Okamura.

  What's going on? It's a bit messy.

  Mitsuru Kōbe looked back, and the scene behind her seemed somewhat postmodern. With the classroom door as the boundary, on one side were various small things neatly arranged, looking like a still-in-use classroom, while on the other side was a huge, formal photography studio that didn't seem to be in use. For a moment, Mitsuru Kōbe seemed to have crossed over into another world.

  "What's going on?!" Takashi Okamura shouted.

  "Huh?" Akiyoshi Yasuko was puzzled.

  "You're late!" Okamura shouted.

  "What? What's going on?" Mitsuru was still clearly unable to grasp the current situation.

  "What's wrong with you! Hurry up and sit down!" Okamura shouted, pointing at the desks and chairs in the classroom.

  Mitsuru Kōbe turned around and found out about the current state of the classroom.

  "I... I think I understand!" The classroom, the desks and chairs, and the man on the podium, Hikaru was still clever, he quickly recalled the contents of this plan.

  "So it was this all along, I thought it was going to be something more interesting." Akira said in surprise.

  Stand up and sit in your own position, this time Guangpu doesn't feel bored anymore. The previous one was obviously a prank, the real plan is now this thing, the final exam that has been held once before.

  Is it necessary to use such a trick to appear just for the final exam?

  The idea of Mitsuru Kōno completely disappeared when the second person appeared.

  The second person is not about to appear yet, because the entire set needs to be restored to its original state when Koumei just arrived.
