Chapter 71 Reward Yourself with a Galgame

　　After being suddenly attacked, Minamiya Yu immediately turned his attention to Seele beside him.

　　When he noticed Seele puffing up her cheeks and looking at him with a pair of big eyes full of resentment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

　　Oh no, I might not be able to sleep again tonight.

　　......

　　"cheers!!"

　　In the evening, lively celebration sounds were heard from the living room at home.

　　"Hollow Knight" performed so well, Bronya naturally excitedly invited her good friends to her house for a celebration party. Today is the weekend, and Kaguya, who arrived early, naturally joined the celebration.

　　Using juice instead of wine, a group of people clinked their glasses happily.

　　After Minamiya Yu finished saying some polite words, Bronya immediately and happily pulled Mei and Kiana aside to chat. Her cute appearance, like a child showing off constantly, made Mei couldn't help but laugh.

　　Kaguya found Seele and shared with her the cute little decorations she had made recently, and then the two of them planned to knit a sweater for each family member.

　　Sirin, on the other hand, was the only one sitting there. She had been sitting there in silence since she arrived until now, with a dull look in her eyes, which looked a little dazed.

　　"What happened to Sirin?"

　　Minamiya Yu was originally being pulled by Bronya to listen to her muttering with Mei Kiana. When he noticed Sirin's appearance, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

　　Unexpectedly, Kiana started laughing as soon as she finished speaking, as if she had been waiting for someone to ask her a question. She pointed at her sister and laughed, "Playing Hollow Knight."

　　"ah?"

　　Noticing the three puzzled looks, Kiana quickly explained, "This idiot is too impulsive. She was provoked by the live broadcast audience and made a bet that she could do five gates without any damage. If she couldn't do it, she would do a live broadcast of washing her hair upside down."

　　Naturally, she and Mei finished the game made by their best friend as soon as possible, so the people present understood how exaggerated the bet made by Sirin was.

　　"Uh...wish her good luck."

　　Raising the glass towards Sirin from a distance, Minamiya Yu drank the juice in the glass.

　　Hope everyone is okay.

　　Without the mushrooms, the dinner party had fewer twists and turns. Everyone came with great joy and left with great satisfaction.

　　When he had some free time, Minamiya Yu sat on the sofa and took a nap. Kaguya stood behind him and gently massaged his shoulders. Today was Saturday, so she naturally chose to stay.

　　She looked over her husband's head to the coffee table. A not-so-small box caught her attention. She leaned over and leaned close to her husband's ear. She opened her lips slightly, and a sweet breath hit Minamiya Yu's ear: "Husband, what is that?"

　　The soft voice brought a sense of comfort to Minamiya Yu's heart. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction Kaguya pointed.

　　"That's the TGA trophy. I didn't have time to claim it before, so I asked someone to claim it for me and mail it back to me."

　　"TGA... ah, is it To the Moon?"

　　"Yes, the Best Drama Award."

　　"Congratulations again, husband~"

　　Although Kaguya had already congratulated once when the list of winners was announced, this did not stop her from praising him again.

　　Who wouldn’t like such a gentle, beautiful, sweet-talking, and obedient fiancée?

　　At least, in the past six months, Minamiya Yu has gradually sunk into this land of gentleness.

　　"It's a shame that Hollow Knight was released so late."

　　After hearing the conversation between Minamiya Yu and Kaguya, Bronya came over and said a little depressedly.

　　She bent down, opened the small box, and looked at the dazzling trophy wrapped inside with a hint of envy in her eyes.

　　"Don't worry, Hollow Knight is fully qualified to win the Best Independent Game Award next year."

　　Minamiya Yu smiled and comforted her, but Bronya shook her head.

　　"Huh? So unconfident?"

　　"No."

　　Bronya looked at him, a smile suddenly broke out on her face, and she said in a resounding voice: "According to the timeline, the next Best Independent Game Award should be our next work."

　　Hearing this, Minamiya Yu and Kaguya were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.

　　It turns out that it wasn’t a lack of confidence, but rather too much confidence.

　　He patted Kaguya's hand, and she understood and let go. Minamiya Yu stretched lazily and walked up the stairs, and soon returned to the familiar studio.

　　Soon, Bronya and Kaguya followed in.

　　Noticing that Minamiya Yu was busy with something while sitting in front of the computer, Bronya walked over curiously, hugged his neck from behind with both hands, and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you agree to take a break for a while? Why are you working again?"

　　There is still more than a month until New Year's Day, so Minamiya Yu and Bronya have planned to start working on the new game after the New Year's Day holiday.

　　"Just taking a quick look at the company's emails."

　　Quickly flipping through the letters, Minamiya Yu responded casually.

　　She quietly put the used Kaleidoscope 3 back to its original place in the cabinet in the room, and then put the new Kaleidoscope 4 into her sleeve. Then, with a slightly blushing face, Kaguya carefully walked over to the two of them.

　　These weird games made by my husband are really interesting...

　　At this time, Minamiya Yu flipped through an email about personnel transfers. He suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked at Bronya.

　　Bronya, who had some misunderstanding, lowered her head and kissed him on the mouth, then winked at him cutely and asked playfully, "Do you want more?"

　　"Yes, but wait a minute."

　　He took the initiative to move forward and returned the greeting, feeling the sweetness and softness between his lips and teeth, then he pulled Bronya to sit next to him.

　　"I thought you were asking me for a reward for my hard work."

　　Leaning against him, Bronya replied, feeling secretly sorry for him.

　　If only the chair was a little smaller, she could sit on Yu's lap like Seele did. Every time Bronya saw Seele leaning in Yu's arms looking comfortable, she felt a little envious.

　　"Of course we can have more of these rewards."

　　After smiling, Minamiya Yu said, "Bronya, I think we need to recruit some people."

　　Hearing this, Bronya, who was daydreaming, was slightly stunned, and then slowly nodded: "Well, it is indeed time to recruit some people."

　　If they don’t want to make small-scale games in the future, it will not be enough to rely on just the two of them. In fact, Minamiya Yu mentioned this once during the production of Hollow Knight.

　　For Bronya, this was the first game she and Minamiya Yu made together. She didn't want this game to be tainted by other people's influence, so when she heard this suggestion, Bronya's face suddenly became a little conflicted.

　　Therefore, Minamiya Yu quickly abandoned this proposal and did not bring it up again until now.

　　This time, Bronya naturally would not have any idea of objection. In other words, even if Minamiya Yu did not mention it, she would take the initiative to bring it up.

　　If you want to develop, sufficient manpower is always one of the first factors to consider.

　　“Ahem.”

　　A soft cough attracted the attention of the two people. Kaguya stood in front of them, her face full of anticipation. Her big, twinkling eyes seemed to be saying, "Choose me, choose me!"

　　"Don't worry, we have already taken you into consideration, the designer of our "Eientei"."

　　As she spoke, Bronya's voice was tinged with resentment.

　　This matter was exposed a month ago, and it made Bronya depressed for a while. She found that among the people who often appeared in the studio, except for Seele, she seemed to be the worst one.

　　"Well, I'll trouble you for your guidance, Senior."

　　"Don't insult me."

　　Rolling her eyes at the smiling Kaguya, Bronya pressed her whole body on Minamiya Yu.

　　After patting Bronya's little head, Minamiya Yu continued, "Since we are recruiting people, we naturally need to divide them into teams. Then we will recruit the first group of people who enter Gensokyo as the first team, and name it Scarlet Devil Mansion."

　　"We will form a team independent of these teams, and we can integrate into various teams at any time according to work tasks. As for the name..."

　　Glancing at Kaguya who was listening attentively, Minamiya Yu said calmly, "Let's call it Eientei."

　　Eientei?

　　After looking at Kaguya who was surprised and Yu who was smiling, Bronya puffed her lips and said nothing more.

　　"Then, is there anything you need to do after Eientei Pavilion? I can prepare in advance."

　　Soon he considered himself as a member of the team, Kaguya asked with some anticipation.

　　"I haven't decided on anything for the new year yet. Before the new year, the recruitment for the Scarlet Devil Mansion can be handled by a dedicated HR person. The rest of the things should be fine..."

　　At this moment, Hatsune Miku in the lower right corner of Minamiya Yu's computer suddenly tapped the screen a few times, and after attracting Minamiya Yu's attention, she immediately said, "Master, there is a new message on the chat software, do you need to open it?"

　　"Open."

　　Without avoiding Kaguya and Bronya at all, Minamiya Yu responded directly.

　　This trust filled Kaguya and Bronya's hearts with joy, and smiles appeared on their faces.

　　Soon, a chat box was pulled out by Hatsune, and the message came from Eromanga teacher.

　　Eromanga-sensei: "Boss, the bonus for Kaleidoscope 5 has been drawn, please check it out!"

　　"Thanks for your hard work."

　　Minamiya Yu just replied and soon received a reply from the other side.

　　"It's not hard! Working for the boss is my greatest honor!"

　　"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. If you keep saying that, I'll cut you off."

　　"No, no, no, boss. I have parents and children to take care of. Please don't do this!!"

　　Of course he knew about the situation of the first Eromanga teacher. It was naturally very stressful for a single mother to raise her daughter alone and live in the city. Minamiya Yu was just joking when he said this.

　　"It won't happen again. Tell me, what's the matter with you suddenly trying to please me?"

　　"Hehe, I can't hide it from you, boss. I just want to ask, is Kaleidoscope 5 the final work?"

　　In front of the computer, a mature young woman with a silver ponytail sent this sentence with some trepidation. She glanced at the door on the other side, which was decorated with cute patterns, and bit her lips gently.

　　The success of the Kaleidoscope series has earned her a lot of income, which has enabled the mother and daughter, who once had no place to live, to now have a house that truly belongs to them, plenty of food, and a comfortable life, and no longer have to live a miserable life with no food to eat.

　　For Minamiya Yu, Eromanga-sensei only felt gratitude.

　　It felt like the boss she met had used up most of her luck in her life. Not only did he never delay paying her wages, but he was also very generous. If there were no new projects, she would have no choice but to return to the society where painters were overwhelmed and scramble for the few resources available.

　　"Yeah, Eromanga-sensei wants to end the cooperation?"

　　This sentence made her breath hitch, and she quickly responded: "No, no, no, I just want to ask if there are any other new jobs."

　　Soon, the response from the other side made her feel relieved.

　　"Yes, I just thought that Eromanga-sensei didn't want to work with me anymore, so I had a headache about where to find a new artist."

　　"No, no, no, I never thought about it that way. You must choose me. I will do it, I will do it. I am very capable!"

　　Seeing the painter's response, Bronya couldn't help but raise her hand and hit her lover's arm. Even Kaguya, who obeyed him in everything, said: "My husband is too mean."

　　"Don't worry, I was just joking with her."

　　Sensei Eromanga is his personal painter whom he had trained with great effort. He works hard, is easy to use and obedient. As long as he is paid enough, he is just like the hardworking little Palu, working almost non-stop from morning to night.

　　"Then go back home quickly. Why are you bullying a single mother like this?"

　　"Okay, okay~"

　　With her cheeks pinched, Minamiya Yu typed quickly: "Of course, as long as Eromanga-sensei doesn't terminate the cooperation, you will always be my first choice."

　　This sentence moved Eromanga-sensei to tears, but she still asked weakly: "What about the reward..."

　　"Same as before."

　　"Thank you, boss! Boss, I love you!!!"

　　Looking at those words, you can seem to feel the surprise from them.

　　Just as Minamiya Yu was about to continue to reply with a smile, Bronya suddenly said, "You are not interested in single mothers, and a mother and daughter?"

　　"Compared to mother and daughter, I think I should be more interested in sisters."

　　He hinted at Bronya with his eyes and immediately got a cold eye roll in return.

　　"Yeah, it's snowing."

　　Kaguya, who was near the window, suddenly discovered something, and hurried over to look at the snowflakes floating outside, and said with some surprise.

　　“It’s really time for the snow to fall.”

　　It was the end of November and the weather was already cold, but Bronya and Minamiya Yu, who grew up in Siberia, naturally would not have such a surprise as Kaguya.

　　"It's the white season again..."

　　Minamiya Yu was suddenly stunned when he said this subconsciously.

　　He looked at Kaguya and Bronya, stroked his chin and said tentatively: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do before New Year's Day. Do you want to make a galgame together?"
