After packing my things and carrying my backpack outside, I saw a figure not far away.

"Nana-senpai!" She immediately waved happily.

The person walking over there is Miyamoto Nana, along with Sakagami Minami, Watanabe Hikaru, Nagayasu Miyu, and Yasunaga Mai.

Looking at these people, Nanase Touka immediately realized that something might have happened. These people together were roughly equivalent to the highest level within the SKR team.

"Oh, it's Fuyu-chan!" Miyu Nagasu immediately waved happily, "Are you going back so late?"

Miyamoto Seya laughed and said, "Hmm, are you training?"

"Yeah, training went on quite late, so I'm only just planning to head back now," Nanase Touka said honestly, then approached the others. "Where are you seniors? Are you also here because of training?"

"That's right..."

The group exchanged glances and then gave each other wry smiles.

Seeing that wry smile, Nanase Touka became increasingly aware that something was wrong.

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that Tempe-P is planning to have us do a tour in New York in a while," Miyamoto said in a very relaxed tone.

"A tour in New York?!" Nanase Touka's eyes widened immediately. She had never expected such a plan, and it was highly likely to happen this year!

Minami Sakagami nodded: "SKR will be performing at the Gershwin Theatre in New York on May 1st."

"May 1st?!" Nanase Touka exclaimed in surprise, completely unexpected that it would be so soon.

Although it was clear that she didn't intend to bring graduate students along, but rather to go based on SKR's four teams, all of which were very capable, she still felt that the decision was too hasty.

"Don't you also think this decision was rushed?" Miyamoto asked.

"Yes, that's what I think." Nodding honestly, Nanase Touka asked, "Why did you suddenly make this decision?"

"Actually, it's not that strange. This is to build the team's reputation," Miyamoto said. "I'm developing my career in the United States on my own now. If you asked me to set up a theater that can hold five or six hundred people for a concert, I would be very confident that I could fill it to capacity."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly: "And now I haven't been performing in the United States for very long, so people's fixed impressions haven't been formed yet. Taking advantage of this opportunity to have SKR perform as a group is a good idea for newcomers. Actually, I think choosing the Gershwin Theatre is quite a good choice."

Nanase Touka became even more curious: "Is there anything special about the Gershwin Theater?"

"Because this is the biggest Broadway, with 1933 seats. In other words, to fill the theater, we only need to sell less than 2,000 tickets."

At this moment, Minami Sakagami said, "1933 seats, but this is just the beginning. In the future, we must also strive to complete a performance with tens of thousands of people in the United States!"

"It's definitely achievable, after all, Nana-neechan is quite popular in America right now!" Watanabe Hikaru said with a grin, seemingly without any pressure, still as cheerful as ever.

"But if there are only 1933 seats, why does everyone seem... uneasy?"

“It’s not that I’m uneasy, it’s just that there are too many things to do.” Sakagami Minami smiled wryly: “The general election is in June, and we also have to release a new single before that. Nana and Miyu are also going to film a movie. All these plans need to be completed before the general election. Oh, right, there should also be a handshake event in May.”

Listening to these plans, Nanase Touka finally understood why these people seemed so overwhelmed.

There were just too many things going on at once.

But at the same time, a fire was also ignited in her heart because of a sentence she had just heard.

The general election is almost here!

What level can I achieve in this general election?

Nanase Touka's heart was filled with questions, but she was not confused at all!

……

Just as Feishan Bird picked up a dish while eating, she heard the old man next to her say, "By the way, have you had any new plans lately?"

The speaker was Akira Hiyama, the father of Torihiyama, who had already retired.

Upon hearing this, Hiyama Bird immediately replied, "Yes, we plan to start selling SKR-related records in Europe and America as well, instead of just in Japan."

"Is this a good plan because Miyamoto Nana is doing quite well in the United States?"

"Yes." He nodded slightly. "Recently, more and more people in the United States have been ordering SKR-related records from Japan, so I thought that this would save them time. If they save time, they will support SKR more, and then our records will sell better."

"Yes, that's right. Speaking of which, the SKR general election is coming up soon, right? Have you considered giving some voting rights to the Americans this time?"

Shaking her head, Feishan Bird said, "Not for now. If people overseas want to vote, they can only do so by ordering. According to Teacher Tianbei, it will take until next year for the US and Europe to be able to vote. We still need some time to adjust."

After thinking for a moment, Kiyama Akira laughed: "So that's how it is. They're afraid of one company dominating the market. They'll only release the voting power after they've presented SKR as a whole to the people in Europe and America and created enough influence. Otherwise, America will become Miyamoto Nana's vote bank."

Feishan Bird nodded and said, "That's what Teacher Tianbei meant. We can't put too much pressure on those below; we always have to leave some hope."

Kiyama Akira sighed: "Then I think it's too late. That child's strength, even just within Japan... is probably already far ahead of everyone else."

……

Miyamoto Sei and Nagayasu Miyu on the film set.

Ultimately, the film was titled *Miss Yoko Holmes and Her Assistant*.

The name is quite long, and the person who plays Yoko Holmes is naturally Miyamoto Sei.

As for Miyu Nagasu, she plays Miss Watson, who is an assistant. According to the setting, both of them are of mixed Japanese and British descent.

This is a crime-solving and mystery movie, and most of it was filmed indoors, with not many outdoor scenes, so the actual cost of set design was not very high.

At this moment, Yoko Holmes, the famous detective, is confronting a man in a police uniform.

"So, you mean the dead person was so thoughtful as to get up and lock the door? I have to say, this dead person was really very considerate."

The policeman's face flushed with anger, but he dared not make a move: "Hmph, that is indeed a flaw. According to common sense, the two brothers were together last night and then they had an argument. That's all we know. If we continue to analyze, the older brother is dead and the jewelry is lost. That's also something we know."

"Later, the younger brother left, and no one ever saw the older brother again. No one slept in his bed, and the younger brother seemed very uneasy about this. His behavior was obviously very problematic. Even a fool would know that the younger brother was the murderer!"

In response, Yoko Holmes said in an extremely sarcastic tone: "Thank you for your analysis, Inspector Saijo. You have proved with very reasonable logic that your brain is your ass."

Before the other party could erupt in anger, Yangzi continued, "It is obvious that you have not yet learned all the facts. For example, this wooden splinter, I have reason to believe that this wooden splinter is poisonous, and it was taken from the scalp of the deceased. The wound can also show this."

"Other things, like this piece of paper, or that strange wooden stick inlaid with stones, how do you plan to incorporate them into the reasoning you currently believe is flawless?"

Officer Saijo immediately said, "It's obvious that everything proves my statement is correct. These things are all antiques. Besides, if this splinter is poisonous, someone could use it to kill someone. Even the younger brother, Koji Funao, could use it to kill someone. As for this piece of paper, it's just a smokescreen, deliberately made to make us think too much. We need to discard it."

"Now there's only one question: how did he get out of this locked room? Look over there, the structure of this room is clearly flawed. I see it, there's an entrance!"

As he spoke, he immediately began to crawl towards the entrance above. After struggling to climb in, his excited voice came from the other side: "I see it! I found it! There's another hidden door here!"

Yangzi shrugged and complained to her assistant, Watson, "I have to admit, even if his brain is a butt, he can still find some evidence."

Miyu Nagasu, who plays Watson, smiled, her expression clearly showing she was watching a show, but she still said, "If it's a butt, then he can't even move, Yoko."

Yangzi casually replied, "You're a doctor, so you're in charge."

At this moment, Inspector Saijo jumped down excitedly, almost falling over, but this did not affect his happiness. As if to use facts to suppress Yoko, he said, "Facts speak louder than words. I saw the secret door, and it was half open!"

Yangzi said in a nonchalant tone, "Actually, I opened that secret door."

These words made Officer Saijo's face fall immediately. He hadn't expected that the clue he had finally found turned out to be something that this person had already found long ago.

However, that's not important. What's important is that this evidence proves his inference is correct, so we can go and arrest that damned murderer right now!

……

The film was shot according to scenes, and the entire plot was divided into three cases, which were eventually merged, leading to the climax of the confrontation between Holmes and Watson.

After filming all the scenes in this location, several hours had passed. Miyamoto looked at the time and smiled at Nagasu Miyu, saying, "It felt really good, like a loyal assistant recording everything."

"Hehe, of course! I didn't just read the original work, I also watched several other novels and movies multiple times, just to capture that feeling!" Miyu Nagayasu said with a grin, grabbing Miyamoto Sei's hand and pulling him forward: "Let's go see how the filming went!"

"Okay, let's go take a look." Miyamoto nodded and they walked towards Yamazaki Ryosuke's direction.

"How is it, Director?" Miyamoto asked before even getting close.

Ryosuke Yamazaki didn't look up, his eyes still fixed on the screen. He simply said, "Very good. The scene is set indoors, and the dialogue and expressions between you guys are excellent. Plus, many parts are done in one take, which fully showcases your on-set skills!"

Miyamoto was taken aback: "You're not planning to edit it?"

“We don’t need much editing. Just give us some close-ups of your facial expressions and hand gestures at specific moments.” Yamazaki Ryosuke said, then laughed. “I suddenly feel like I’ve made the right bet again. If the filming of the entire story can maintain this level, this movie will get enough support from both idol fans and detective fans!”

As he spoke, he patted Miyamoto Sei on the shoulder: "However, the funds are still limited this time, so in order to save money, I would like to ask you to do your best to ensure that we don't have to reshoot. Although quality is important, efficiency is also very important!"

Miyamoto rolled his eyes. Of course he knew that the movie was invested in by Yamazaki Ryosuke and Amagai Risa, and no one else had anything to do with it.

Therefore, funds are of course limited.

Chapter Ninety-One: Filming Ends

This is the location of a waterfall, a waterfall located inside a cave.

Right at the edge of the cliff, the two men were facing each other.

The two, who were originally companions, now stand on opposite sides.

“You’ve finally found me.” Watson smiled as he looked at Yoko Holmes before him. “I am indeed Watson Moriarty.”

Besides the smile, Watson's eyes also held madness and infatuation—an undisguised infatuation. She looked at her companion with such fiery eyes, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

Yangzi had seen this look before; she remembered it clearly. It was the kind of look that usually appeared in the eyes of couples deeply in love.

It's the kind of thing that can distract the mind, make it hard to concentrate, and impair judgment.

And this is the look in the eyes of the partner who has been with him for a long time.

"The three recent cases, although seemingly unrelated and each with its own answer, appear to have no need to be put together. However, if I had to say, these cases are all too ingenious, as ingenious as works of art created by the same person!"

Yoko looked at Watson, or rather, at Professor Moriarty, the criminal kingpin hidden in the dark world.

"You deliberately used such ingenious methods to set up the case, making people exhausted from solving it, yet making them unable to connect these cases with such a clever technique. Are you showing off?"
