Okamoto Nobuhiko LIKELY didnāt cheat on his wife
Please read PREVIOUS POST first <<
I was trying to make some sense of story of Okamoto Nobuhiko and the mysterious woman from Weekly Bunshun (WB) and this is what I want to share with you :)
Part 1:Ā a statement from a hotel staff:

ļ¼They seemed to be cautious of their surroundings and wore mask the entire time, even on the front desk (Hotel staff).
My first and main question is:Ā
Hotel staff are not allowed to talk about their guests, as it is a part of confidentiality. Bribery can work, however, when āIt was a really busy dayā, I strongly doubt that the staff will have enough time to have an in-depth conversation whatever amount youāve slipped to them. I believe that fans who have some experience with working in hospitality industry will gladly elaborate more on this topic :)
Another argument is that WB can come back the next day. But as hotel staff usually works on shift basis, this mean that WB is risking asking about Okamoto only to receive information of someone else. And as much as Okamoto Nobuhikoās face memorable in the anime industry, he doesnāt stand that much on the crowd, especially because of:
With Covid-19ās panic everywhere, the use of mask is more justified than ever. Even now in Australia, I will see people who wears mask 11pm in the night. This also explains their āanxiousā behaviour as social distancing is now practically mandatory, and as someone whose job relied on their voices, I kind of understand why they will feel uncomfortable. In addition, the mask brings another issue, such as, remembering peopleās face from only their eyes and hair because attires do change.
This scenario, however, only valid IF itās genuinely come from a āstaff hotelā and not some BS that WB pulled out. Moreover, the staff hotel in this scenario supposed to fulfil certain conditions, such as able to work 24hrs, can remember any hotel quests with only eyes and hair visible, always have time to chat despite the hotel being āextremely busyā, and last but not least, has very understanding co-workers who let them chat with non-guest asking confidential questions.Ā
I believe that finding a unicorn is somehow way easier.

ćććHe was excitedly talking about Dragon Ball while having hotpot, then he went back to his place to his wife.

Firstly, I would like to thank Nobu for sending the mysterious woman to the train station.Ā
Kabukicho at night can be dangerous because its full of drunk people, host/hostess, soap land girls, and yakuza. Whatever their relationship is, I thank him for thinking of her safety. For I always believe that every woman deserves to go home safely regardless.
Looking at Nobuās attire, I believe that he just finished working and that that day wasnāt his day off. And adding that to the second statement of the story, that Nobu joined his co-workers after back from station, it just makes more sense that Nobu and the mysterious woman were literally together with other VAs inside the āLove Hotelā.
The very possible scenario isĀ
that the VAs had finished their work for the day and decided to hang out. They went inside the āLove Hotelā (or likely the Cafes), and around 22.30 the girl needed to go somewhere else so Nobu sent her by taxi. After that, he just returned to hanging out with his friends again.
This scenario is of course, possible but not without flaws. It can be that other VAs and their significant others have known about Nobu cheating on his wife so they just waiting for him screwing for 2 hours. Or that they donāt know about it, and Nobu just being so stupidly confident and chose a āhotelā so close to the place his friends and co-workers hanging out.Ā
Okamoto Nobuhiko previously had pursued a career as a professional Shogi player and I believe that he has more common sense than that.
The one that really stand out for me is the Nabe (hotpot)
Nabe is crucial here because it is a āfriendshipā dish. In Japan, you only eat hot pot (e.g nabe, shabu-shabu) with the people you consider as close friends. In this current global pandemic situation, it means that if one of them got sick, the rest would likely to be too. The level of trust showed in this situation is very high!
The more I think about it, the more I understand why Okamoto Nobuhiko chose to apologize in hope that it will just go away soon.Ā
Because whoever he is protecting, they are the people who are important to him.Ā
Thereās no winning in this situation and I believe that Nobu himself know about it the best.
Once more, it doesnāt change the fact that he was witnessed coming out of a āLove Hotelā with a mysterious woman. I hope, that whoever, wherever, and whoever that mysterious woman is with, she is safe and sound.Ā
I wish it even more for Okamoto Nobuhiko and Ogame Asuka to continue their previously peaceful and fulfilling life and career, and hope that this situation too, shall pass.
Note: the meaning of Nabeās credit goes to Kaji Yuki. It related to Nanatsu no Taizaiās castās favorite dish, pork shabu-shabu. Kaji mentioned before that when they finally ate hotpot together, he realized that the cast are no longer his co-workers only. They are his friends.
