Chapter 62: Detailed!

　　"Hey, brother, are you done with your work?"

　　Seeing Minamiya Yu, Seele immediately stood up and went to greet her.

　　"Well, take a break."

　　Seeing the little head coming over, Minamiya Yu couldn't help but reach out and rub it, praising it, "Well done."

　　"Hey, Seele didn't do anything. Brothers, you guys chat first. Seele will prepare some refreshments for you."

　　She took the initiative to rub Minamiya Yu's palm again, Seele hummed a happy tune, and walked towards the kitchen happily, while Minamiya Yu also sat opposite Kaguya.

　　"Seele is really a lovely child, unlike some people."

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Minamiya Yu had just sat down and hadn't even taken a sip of tea when Kaguya, who was sitting opposite him, gave him a cold look.

　　"You left your beautiful fiancée alone in a deserted home for more than a month just after meeting her once. How cruel of you to do that."

　　"......"

　　Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. After meeting Kaguya last time, he went to Europe, where he had fun with Ely and the others for half a month. After returning home, he was pestered by Bronya to play games during the day, and by Seele to play games at night. With all this going on, he really forgot about his fiancée.

　　"Well, I've been a bit busy lately, so..."

　　Kaguya didn't reply either, and looked at him with an expression that said, "Go on making up stories, I'm listening."

　　"By the way, do you have the chat app from Destiny on your phone?"

　　A software developed by Destiny, with functions similar to Line and QQ. It is currently the largest social chat software in the world. Minamiya Yu and his friends basically use this.

　　"cell phone?"

　　Having said this, Kaguya fished out a new-model cell phone from her purse and unlocked it with a little awkwardness.

　　"I'm sorry, I just came across this thing recently, so I'm not quite used to it. Is this what you're talking about, husband? I remember Reisen registered it for me."

　　Kaguya frowned and clicked a few times, then simply handed the phone over.

　　Mobile phones, which can access the outside world, are naturally not allowed at home. Even the only laptop in the room that can connect to the Internet is restricted from accessing many places.

　　Those game consoles and other things were secretly brought to her by Eirin.

　　"Recent?"

　　Thinking of Kaguya's image as a young lady in seclusion, Minamiya Yu seemed a little dazed.

　　"Just give me your phone like this, aren't you afraid that your privacy will be seen?"

　　"Privacy? As your wife, I will not hide anything from you."

　　"Tsk, that's not what I meant. Everyone should have privacy."

　　Feeling the difference in education once again, Minamiya Yu could only sigh in his heart and say no more.

　　Without looking at anything else, especially the photo album, Minamiya Yu opened the software.

　　Looking at the empty contact list, Minamiya Yu showed an expression of expectedness. In that case, let him take the first time.

　　Then he took out his mobile phone and added his contact information.

　　"Okay, just add me as your friend. If you want to chat with me later, just say it directly."

　　Just as she was about to hand the phone back to the person on the other side, Minamiya Yu smelled a faint fragrance coming from beside her.

　　Turning his head, he found that Kaguya had sat next to him at some point and was looking at his hand curiously.

　　"You... never mind, can you use chat software?"

　　"Yes, I have used it in the game."

　　"Games..."

　　Taking her phone, Kaguya curiously clicked on the software and soon brought up the chat box with Minamiya Yu.

　　Seeing this, Minamiya Yu also used his mobile phone to send a message of "Hello" to Kaguya.

　　Looking at the chat bubble that popped up on the phone, Kaguya opened her eyes wide in surprise.

　　Then, looking at her husband beside her, she said, "Wouldn't it be rude to just chat like this without any invitation or visit?"

　　"There's no need for so many formalities in real-life communication. You need to learn the lifestyle of modern people."

　　With a sigh, Minamiya Yu raised his hand and patted Kaguya's little head.

　　"Oh, then I will obey my husband."

　　Kaguya nodded thoughtfully, then looked at him expectantly and said, "Then, in the future, when I want to find my husband to accompany me, can I chat with him up there anytime?"

　　"Of course, I will accompany you as long as I have time."

　　"Um."

　　Kaguya smiled happily, holding her phone as if she were holding some precious treasure.

　　The sight of being satisfied so easily made Minamiya Yu somewhat soft-hearted. He looked at Kaguya and extended an invitation to her.

　　"Remember you said you liked games. Do you want to visit my studio?"

　　"Can I?!"

　　"Of course, don't forget that you are my fiancée, so show some confidence."

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu stood up first, and Kaguya also quickly stood up and followed him.

　　Going up the stairs, without paying attention to Kaguya's curious gaze, Minamiya Yu said to her: "There is another member of the family in the studio, Bronya Zaychik. She is also very important to me, but she may not be as easy to get along with as Seele."

　　"Um."

　　Kaguya nodded slightly. She listened very carefully. After all, this would most likely be the circle she would live in in the future, so she naturally needed to have good relationships with her 'seniors'.

　　Stepping onto the corridor on the second floor, Minamiya Yu opened the door closest to the stairs.

　　“This is our temporary studio.”

　　As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya heard a lazy and pleasant voice coming from the room.

　　"Yu, come quickly, there are still some things I don't understand here~"

　　After saying that, she clicked the mouse a few more times and then turned her chair. Just as she was about to continue saying something, she saw a strange woman standing very close to Minamiya Yu.

　　"who is she?"

　　Pointing at Kaguya, Bronya asked in confusion.

　　And, just like when Seele first saw Kaguya, she was immediately struck by her flawless appearance.

　　"My fiancée."

　　"ha?!"

　　He walked over and raised his hand to close Bronya's open mouth, then patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, don't scare her. I'll take her to visit our studio."

　　Then, Minamiya Yu turned around and said to Kaguya: "This is Bronya, who holds an important place in my heart just like Seele."

　　The tense face she had expressed instantly relaxed a lot after hearing Minamiya Yu's words. Bronya gave Minamiya Yu a look that said "you'd better know what's best for you", and then looked at Kaguya.

　　"She is Kaguya Houraisan. You can just call her Kaguya. She also likes to play games, so I brought her up here for a tour."

　　"That's right."

　　At this point, Minamiya Yu pointed at Bronya and said to Kaguya: "The third place in the last mini-game festival, "Alahato α", is her personal work. Have you played it?"

　　Another silver-haired beauty.

　　Kaguya sighed, and then a surprised expression appeared on her face: "Is it the very interesting "Arahato α"? I have played it several times, and the mechas and level designs in it are great~"

　　"oh?"

　　Bronya was immediately excited when she heard someone praising the game she made. She quickly came over and pulled Kaguya to sit down, then looked at her expectantly: "Anything else? Tell me in detail!"

Chapter 451 Guilt

Kujo Fuu knew very well that if he used the answer he had just given to Akimoto to evade Nanaya, it would definitely not work and might even leave a bad impression on the other party.

Even if the other party doesn't reject me directly, what if I don't take him/her along when filming a movie in the future?

The reason I joined the Trier team is more for the Trier platform, right?

The most core and attractive resources of Trier are in the hands of the internationally renowned director Nanaya Kiryu.

[Should I answer based on my true heart? Then what is my true heart? ]

"I...I want to give it a try."

After thinking for a while, Kujo Fuu pursed his lips and whispered, "I want to know where my limits are."

Everything I have now was given by my family, so what are my limits?

【I want to bear witness to myself.】

This is Kujo Fuu’s true inner thought.

"Your own limit? Then I have another question." Nanaya continued to ask, "What plans do you have for your future? Is it just to become Trier's idol?"

"Of course not. Idols are important, but they are only a part of my life. Whether it's the path of an artist or the path of my life, I have more important goals to achieve."

Kujo Fuu tightly gripped the microphone and spoke to all the judges in a sonorous and powerful tone.

"The path of being an idol is not easy. You have to obey the operations arrangements and work hard." Nanaya reminded.

"I will definitely stick to it."

There is no use of [try your best], but rather [definitely].

At least at this stage, this eldest lady of the old Chinese family is still very determined.

But Nanaya also knew that the reason why Miss Kujo was so determined now was more due to the atmosphere of the on-site selection, which made her feel as if her blood was boiling.

The current excitement is only temporary. Whether she can continue to hold on depends on her performance in the future.

Next, Akimoto also asked a few very simple questions.

Of course, the fat man was simply going through the procedure.

When Kujo Fuu stepped down, he did not ask her to wait for notification, but directly signaled her to report to the backstage operations department.

This is probably the first candidate who has been directly informed that he has passed the review and become an official member since the final review began.

However, in Nanaya and Yasushi's opinion, it is not a loss to bring a young lady in.

This girl’s idol qualifications are quite good, and she is also a true noble lady.

From Luvia to Lily, Trier has always maintained the tradition of noble female members.

After years of operation, Trier has gained a lot of loyal fans of the idol Miss Kitchen Noble.

From this point of view, Miss Kujo is just the right person to become the third generation noble lady to succeed Lily.

It’s a pity that, except for Astolfo and Kujo Fuu, the other girls who came to participate in the competition did not make Nanaya particularly impressed.

Akimoto did discover a few good talents, but many of them were more suitable for his own AKB rather than Trier, which had already begun to develop all over the world.

However, Akimoto still selected a few good foot-washing maid members to set off Trier's main forces.

Don’t underestimate the foot-washing maiden. The brightness of red flowers also needs green leaves to set off them.

No matter which idol group it is, foot-washing maid members are definitely necessary.

Moreover, the title of foot-washing maid is relative to other people. Considering Trier’s own popularity, there are still many people who support the title of foot-washing maid.

It’s just that the income and resources generated are far less than those of Rin and Lily.

"I think Kiryu and the others can try to recruit members from all over the world. After all, you have a very good start now, it would be a shame if you don't expand globally."

After the final selection event ended, Akimoto Yasushi said this to Nanaya.

After a whole day of final review, Akimoto Yasushi, Nanaya, Rin and Trier's supporting operator sat together to discuss the final results.

The final result of the discussion was that Trier recruited a total of five official members, headed by Kujo Fuu.

However, these girls will first be gathered together for special idol training, and are expected to be officially announced in April.

The reason for doing this is to be on the safe side. If it is published first and some members withdraw at that time, it will be embarrassing.

By the way, that Baka Astolfo was not selected.

After all, the other party's gender issue made Nanaya unable to make up his mind.

Finally, it was Akimoto who came up with an idea for Nanaya: "It's a pity that the kid named Astolfo was eliminated. You can start a sub-group for him. Don't say it's a girl idol group, just say it's with Trier."

To put it bluntly, it is just skirting the concept.

Even if Astolfo's gender is revealed at that time, this reason can be used to cover it up.

We never said he was a girl at the beginning, you fans thought so.

This statement is of course a rogue one, but considering the size of Washimine, just an excuse will suffice.

Rin was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a waste to open a separate sub-group? And isn't it a bit..."

It's obvious that a person staying alone in the deputy group is trying to cover up something.

"It doesn't matter, just bring in two more foot-washing maids."

For the wealthy Washimine, supporting two people is no problem.

"Besides, if we add a few more people, it will be a perfect solution."

"Others?"

Rin heard the hidden meaning in Nanaya's words.

Nanaya glanced at Akimoto Yasushi and said, "I have already communicated with Mr. Akimoto Yasushi before. Starting this year, he will join the team as the second producer of Trier and be responsible for part of the actual operation."

Trier's number one producer is Shion, and there is no way that Hiaki could replace her.

By the way, Nanaya, the second in power at Trier, doesn't actually hold any position in the team.

His power in Trier comes more from Shion's trust and authorization, which is a bit like the feeling of an imperial envoy.

Akimoto Yasushi smiled and nodded to everyone: "Please give me your guidance from now on."

Akimoto was very proud at this moment.

Although Nanaya said it easily, in fact, Akimoto has obtained considerable operational power in Trier.

It is said to be part, but in fact, according to the direct py transaction between Nanaya and Yasushi, except for the actor promotion related to Washimine's film, which Trier must cooperate unconditionally, the rest of Trier's activities are all under the management of Yasushi.

Washimine has very few restrictions on Yasushi. The only requirement is that Trier's idol revenue this year should be 1.5 times that of last year in 2006.

Of course, Hitaki is not working for nothing. In addition to a very generous salary and performance bonus, the AKB members under him can participate in Trier's activities on a part-time basis.

Before, Nanaya had been worrying about how to deal with these girls. It would be too much of an honor to put them on the same level as Rin and the others.

It’s not that Nanaya looks down on AKB, but the 48 series family has not yet become popular, and there is a big gap between them and Trier in any aspect.

Putting AKB girls on the same level as Trier might cause dissatisfaction among their own fans.

The unknown foot-washing maid group is actually listed on the same level as our Trier. Are you kidding?

If it was around 10 years ago when AKB was at its peak, it would not be too difficult to explain, but now the status of the two is still quite different.

It would be perfect to use a deputy group to accommodate these girls.

Akimoto had no complaints about this arrangement. He also knew that it was not a good idea to praise these girls who had only debuted for one year too much.

Things became simple after that.

The operation of Trier directly found the silly-looking pink-haired girl and said that although you were not selected as a formal member of Trier this time.

But we are very optimistic about your potential, and we are planning to form a sub-group. Why don’t you join this team?

Astolfo looked a little stupid, and in fact he was a complete fool.

Astolfo, who had no idea about the ins and outs of the matter, was completely confused after being fooled by a few words.

After seeing that the agreement not only provided salary but also food and accommodation, Astolfo agreed immediately.

In Astolfo's opinion, this agreement is really great. As long as he works hard as an idol, he can earn at least hundreds of thousands of yen a month, and he will also have food and shelter. This is simply amazing.

So Astolfo, who had no idea what to do and had never made any plans, signed his name on the contract without any hesitation.

When the Trier staff member came back to report to Nanaya, his face was full of strangeness.

"Although it's a good thing that the other party signed it very quickly, I don't know why, but I always feel guilty about human trafficking. He signed it without even reading the contract in full."

"Don't worry about it, that guy is just an idiot. If you speak carefully, he won't understand anything." Nanaya thought it was strange that Astolfo would read the contract carefully.

"It's so naive. I think the other party won't have any objection if I change it to a slavery contract."

Nanaya calmly concluded: "This is what they call a fool's luck. As long as he is happy, that's all."

Anyway, the selection of new members for Trier is finally over.

With the addition of the new members and the AKB members who will temporarily serve as members in the future, the number of Trier members has suddenly increased a lot.

This was a good thing for Washimine, but not for Rin.

She was already overwhelmed with work, and now with so many new people coming, she suddenly felt at a loss.

It’s a pity that at this moment, even if Rin wanted to find a director to vent her anger, she couldn’t do that.

Because Nanaya had already flown to Los Angeles, USA the day after the final selection.

The work in Japan has been completed, and Nanaya has now put all his energy into the FZ project.

Chapter 61: Galgame, what happened to you?

　　"Ahem, without the support of those lovely fans, where would we get the money to make games?"

　　"Your game To the Moon has sold over six million copies. Even if you donate half of it, it would be enough."

　　"What do you know? It's called 'one should never forget the well-digger'. I certainly can't treat unfairly those who helped me in the beginning."

　　Minamiya Yu was indignant and spoke up for the otakus.

　　"Tsk, are games that lack any depth in the plot and rely solely on erotic stories to attract people really that good?"

　　"Well...I can't argue with the first few parts, but the plot of the fourth part should be quite interesting."

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu passed the script of the fourth part's real plot line to Bronya: "Yes, do you want to take a look?"

　　His appearance naturally aroused Bronya's curiosity.

　　She leaned her head over and looked at the computer seriously while eating fruit.

　　It was like this until it was almost time for dinner, and when Bronya saw the ending, she immediately showed an expression of subway, old man, and mobile phone.jpg.

　　"Well, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"

　　Hearing Minamiya Yu's laughing voice, Bronya was silent for a while, then walked over and placed her warm palm on his head.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　"I just checked to see if you had a fever. I suspect there is something wrong with your mental state after writing something like this."

　　Bronya said firmly.

　　"Hey? Don't be so mean, don't you think this kind of two-way love is beautiful?"

　　"No, I just want to suggest that you see a doctor."

　　After a ruthless complaint, Bronya continued, "However, will there be any ethical issues if the plot is set as siblings?"

　　"Isn't this more exciting?"

　　"......"

　　Seeing Minamiya Yu's matter-of-fact look, Bronya fell silent.

　　Okay, I don’t really understand you galgame players.

　　"After we finish making Hollow Knight, I'll show you an interesting one."

　　Hehe, Minamiya Yu's eyes were full of joy as he laughed.

　　After all, it would be the white season then.

　　......

　　The remaining half month of vacation passed quickly, and on the day before school started, an unexpected guest came to Minamiya Yu's home.

　　"Excuse me, who are you?"

　　Looking at the black-haired girl outside the door who was wearing a black and red kimono and was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human being, Seele's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she asked with some confusion.

　　"Hello, is this Minamiya Yu's home?"

　　Letting Reisen wait outside, Kaguya came in alone and bowed slightly to Seele politely.

　　"Well, are you an acquaintance of my brother?"

　　When did brother meet such a beautiful girl?

　　Suddenly, a slight sense of crisis emerged in Seele's heart.

　　After receiving a positive answer, Kaguya's smile deepened. She looked at Seele and slowly said, "I am his fiancée. I hope you can forgive me for my unintentional private visit."

　　Click.

　　Seele's expression froze.

　　Is this the fiancée arranged by Cocolia’s mother?

　　Is she so beautiful?! What on earth does Cocolia's mother do?!

　　Although she wanted to close the door again, her good upbringing still forced Seele to smile and take the gift from Kaguya, then stepped aside to welcome her in.

　　Walking into the house and sitting down in the living room, Kaguya looked at the living room, which was much smaller than her current home, and felt a little surprised.

　　I thought that as a child of a high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy, Yu would live in a more luxurious place, but it turns out that she was wrong?

　　And what is the relationship between this busy girl and Yu?

　　A cute gesture, a likable personality, and a somewhat stiff attitude after hearing that she was Yu's fiancée.

　　So, they are lovers?

　　In this case, it seems that I have to make friends with this child and be a little more friendly and enthusiastic.

　　Not knowing that Kaguya, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, had analyzed a lot of things in a short time, Seele came up with a cup of tea.

　　"Brother is still busy in the studio. If Miss Houraisan is anxious, Seele can go up and let him know."

　　Although she said that, Seele had actually secretly sent a message to her brother using her cell phone, and she didn't know whether her brother received it or not.

　　"No, that's not necessary. I don't have any urgent business. Seele, you don't have to be so reserved. Just call me Kaguya."

　　Yu is working? Is he working on a new game?

　　Kaguya wiggled her toes, her heart filled with curiosity.

　　Although she felt a little bit resentful that "To the Moon" snatched her first place, there was nothing wrong with it for the game.

　　"Um."

　　Seele nodded and sat opposite Kaguya.

　　Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become stagnant, Kaguya took the initiative to bring up the topic: "My husband told me last time when he came that he has a girl he likes very much. I guess it must be you, Seele."

　　Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, Kaguya observed Seele's expression as she spoke.

　　Seele was stunned for a moment, then a blush rose on her face: "Hey? Brother, did you ever say something like that? Tell me, maybe you weren't talking about Seele, but Sister Bronya or Sister Ely."

　　Although she said that, Kaguya could clearly see the little joy and pride in Seele's eyes. It seemed that this child was very confident about her position in her husband's heart.

　　As for Bronya and Ely...

　　Kaguya silently memorized these two names in her heart.

　　Even though she heard so many names of girls who were close to her husband, Kaguya didn't feel anything was wrong. Compared to her 'brothers and sisters' who were not as good as Minamiya Yu in status, her fiancé's life could be said to be quite simple.

　　"Seele, do you think I'm beautiful?"

　　As she spoke, Kaguya showed her appearance to Seele.

　　"Um......"

　　Seele couldn't say the word "ugly" against her conscience. There was no other way, Kaguya was probably the most beautiful and most elegant girl she had ever seen.

　　"But even so, as a fiancée, I still can't attract the attention of my husband. He was a little absent-minded when chatting with me, and he was in a hurry to go home when the time came."

　　At this point, Kaguya looked at Seele and smiled faintly: "However, after meeting Seele today, I seem to understand my husband a little better."

　　Noticing Seele's eyes lighting up instantly, Kaguya nodded secretly in her heart.

　　First put yourself in a weaker position, and then you can close the distance.

　　Less than half an hour later, a voice coming from the stairs interrupted the increasingly lively conversation between Seele and Kaguya.

　　"Kaguya, why are you here?"

　　Looking at Kaguya and Seele sitting side by side downstairs, looking like good friends, Minamiya Yu scratched his head in confusion.

　　Besides, when did this guy become so close to Seele?

Chapter 450 I Curse You to Never Get Married

Kujo Fuu's graceful and elegant demeanor attracted the favor of several judges, but Akimoto Yasushi frowned.

In Yasushi's eyes, this girl behaves...

How to say it?

Somewhat out of place.

It’s not that this girl’s words and actions are a little eccentric or deliberately weird.

It's because the girl's words are too elegant, even a little retro.

Unlike the green tea bitch who deliberately spoke in a stilted manner to please Nanaya, the girl on the stage used words accurately.

This is not something that can be learned simply by imitating, but it is a habit that is naturally formed when people who really live in the upper class speak like this every day.

[Is it a coincidence? No, that's it. If that's the case...]

Yasushi had been in the upper class for quite some time, and he immediately realized that this girl must have come from one of the old Japanese families.

On the other side, it was much easier for Nanaya, because he immediately noticed the difference in the other party's choice of words.

The reason is simple, the other party's wording is too similar to Ori's.

At first, Nanaya just thought it was just a problem with Ori's speaking habit.

Later, when he became familiar with Ori, he realized that it was the speaking habit of Kyoto's upper class, or the original noble families.

As the heir of the Yoji family, Ori has been trained to speak in this tone since childhood.

However, Nanaya felt that those old guys had deliberately made this thing just to show off.

Then he was despised by Ori as a nouveau riche.

"This girl should be from the old noble family." Nanaya reminded Akimoto Yasushi in a low voice.

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Yasushi rolled his eyes.

However, Akimoto Yasushi did not show any strangeness on his face. He decided to keep calm and asked the girl, "Why did you come to participate in the selection of new members of Trier?"

"I've loved idols since I was a kid, and this time when I saw Trier was selecting new members for an event, I decided to join."

It was obvious that this was a draft that had been prepared long ago. Yasushi must have heard this clichéd remark at least nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, if not ten thousand times.

Guessing that the following content would be equally meaningless, Yasushi decisively read the information of this girl named Kujo Fuu.

However, Nanaya sensed something was wrong, or awkward, from the tone of the conversation.

How should I put it? It’s a very mysterious feeling.

Although the other party used accurate words and spoke fluently, Nanaya always felt that the other party was hiding something.

Just like Ori and Shiki can perfectly show outsiders what a real Japanese aristocratic lady is.

But those who are familiar with the siblings from the Ryougi family know that among them, only Ori has truly perfect manners, while Shiki is just pretending.

[Wait, style?]

Nanaya looked down at the information and found that the other party was from Kyoto.

And in the remarks column, the girl herself wrote [Kyoto Kujo Family].

Seeing this, Nanaya's mouth twitched. If someone dared to write like this, it meant that the other party was definitely that Kujo.

The Kujo from the Five Regents family.

The so-called Five Regent Families are the top of the old Japanese clans and are the five families with the highest family status.

Although the main family of the Five Regents moved to Tokyo with the emperor during the Meiji Restoration, the fact that he was able to get the surname Kujo means that he has a close relationship with the main family.

[What the hell is this? Shouldn't a young lady like this just stay at home and wait for death? ]

Just at this moment, a voice of understanding came from Shiki beside Nanaya.

"Shiki, do you know her?"

"Not really." Shiki scratched her head and whispered, "The Kyoto Kujo family is considered a branch of the Kujo main family. Well, but to be honest, this young lady is also half a royal relative. Probably not much different from her family."

Shiki pointed at Ryan who was on the other side of Nanaya.

"What?"

"After all, the daughter of the Kujo family married the emperor." Shiki looked at Nanaya with disdain, "This must be in the history textbooks. How did you get into university?"

"Really?"

Nanaya humbly turned his face away. Nanaya always memorized social sciences by rote and forgot everything after the exam.'

He had no idea what the Emperor's wife's surname was.

Although Nanaya Kazushiki spoke in a low voice, Yasushi next to him could still hear it clearly.

[What is a young lady of this standard doing here? She is not a candidate for the imperial examination, she is just a giant Buddha. ]

It's very difficult. Yasushi also rolled his eyes like Nanaya.

Akimoto Yasushi knew Shiki's identity. Although the Ryougi family was not an old noble family, it had very close relations with those bigwigs.

Since the other party said so, it must be correct.

Unlike a half-baked Japanese like Nanaya, the title of Five Regents Family is still very useful in Japan.

Although he had only asked two questions now, he had already decided in his heart to hire Miss Kujo.

Are you kidding? The young lady in front of me is a real aristocrat!

To put it bluntly, a noble lady of this level is willing to participate in the idol selection to give you face. If you really want to reject her, what will you do when the people from the Kujo family come to find you?

Akimoto Yasushi, you fat guy, do you look down on our family?

Do you want to stay in a luxurious cement suite underwater in Tokyo Bay?

Even if his quality is not good enough, this is not something that Akimoto Yasushi can interfere in. Let Washimine talk to the Kujo family himself.

Directly announcing his failure to be selected would be a slap in the face. A smart guy like Yasushi would not do such a brainless thing.

So Akimoto Yasushi whispered his thoughts to Nanaya, and Nanaya expressed his understanding.

Anyway, this young lady looks pretty good, and should be able to attract many fans just by her looks. If she really doesn't have the talent to be an idol, then she will just be left alone.

Just as Nanaya was thinking this, he noticed that Shiki was frowning and thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Nanaya asked curiously.

Shiki said in confusion: "I once heard Ori mention that there is only one daughter in this generation of the Kyoto Kujo family."

"That should be her."

"Not really..." Shiki tilted her head and looked at Kujo Fuu on the stage, "I heard that Miss Kujo is very rebellious and often races motorcycles in the suburbs of Kyoto late at night."

"Could it be that she is a twin like me?" Shiki tilted her head, a little confused.

Nanaya did figure out some clues. The other party was probably pretending to be a well-behaved young lady on the outside, but was actually a rebellious and violent girl on the inside.

【Why does it feel so inconsistent? 】

“…”

Nanaya was speechless for a moment. He then realized that the other party’s initial introduction to horse riding was not about the noble lady liking to ride a real horse, but a motorcycle.

What can't you do as a young lady?

You are either a biker or an idol. Can't you have some slightly normal hobbies?

Nanaya recalled that another hobby of this young lady was raising wild boars.

Let me think back to Lily, the British lady who was a stay-at-home type.

Nanaya couldn't help but sigh, is there no normal and elegant young lady in this world?

What kind of monsters are these?

Nanaya and others in the audience were struggling, and Kujo Fuu on the stage himself could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

[Not ready yet? Can't you just let me pass? ]

Although Kujo Fuu is rebellious, she is not the kind of brainless girl.

In Japan, no one would reject the Kujo family.

Kujo Fuu hates rules, but she doesn't mind using the advantages of her family background to help herself pass the review.

Otherwise, she would not have noted that she was from the Kujo family on the information submitted for review.

Kujo Fuu was unwilling to become a puppet-like girl from a noble family arranged by her family, and then find a man to marry into her family to continue her offspring.

She didn't want to be a reproductive tool for her family, nor did she want to live such an ordinary life.

As a woman of the Kujo family, she hopes that everyone in the world can remember her name.

So she is rebellious and unique.

The reason she came to participate in Trier's new member selection this time was because she saw the potential of Washimine and Kiryu Nanaya and knew that they could help her become a big star.

If Nanaya knew what the young lady on the stage was thinking, he would definitely say this to Kujo Fuu:

Girl, you are suffering from a middle school syndrome. A beating from society can cure you.

But Nanaya didn't know. After all, he didn't have the ability to read minds, so he couldn't directly guess what this noble young lady was thinking.

Now Nanaya is also worried about what he should do with this young lady.

In terms of status and position, this young lady must be on the shortlist.

But according to Shiki, the other party was having fun in the suburbs of Kyoto all day, playing chicken with the police.

Whether it is really appropriate to recruit such people into the team is a question that Nanaya is very concerned about.

If the other party really wants to become an idol and obeys arrangements, then it's fine.

The other person has a good look and a nice voice. If he is trained well, he will definitely be a good talent.

I'm afraid that this young lady will take advantage of her status to do some trouble and finally make the whole Trier team in chaos.

Especially during the talent show, the other party actually chose "Showa Dry Grass Elegy".

This made Nanaya even more confused about this young lady.

Are you an old woman from the last century? You actually sang this song.

So, after entering the question-and-answer session, Nanaya asked Kujo Fuu a question before Akimoto.

"Hello, Miss Kujo."

"Hello, Director Kiryu."

"I want to ask, why do you want to join this team?" Nanaya stared at Kujo Fuu, "I want to hear the truth."

Kujo Fuu's mouth twitched, she heard the other party's hidden meaning.

She looked straight into Nanaya's eyes, but she had the illusion that she was seen through by him.

[Tsk, it seems like you know my true nature. Is it that guy from the Ryougi family who is talking too much? ]

Kujo Fuu looked at Shiki next to Nanaya unhappily and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Kujo, who didn't know that Ori had gone to North America to film a movie, thought that the person sitting next to Nanaya was Ori himself.

So in his heart, Kujo Fuu cast the most vicious curse on Ryougi Shiki.

[Men who talk too much, be careful that you may not be able to find a wife in the future, and end up living with the man next to you. ]

——————————————————————————————————————

"A-choo! That's weird, who is cursing me again? Is it Senior? Or Shiki?"

Ori, who was far away in North America, suddenly sneezed and scratched his head in confusion.

Chapter 60: Old Business

　　Is this the surprise that Elysia mentioned before?

　　Ely's words emerged in his mind, and Minamiya Yu smiled and clicked to save the picture.

　　It’s true, this feeling is quite pleasant, but it also feels a bit weird.

　　"About the fact that a big star with millions of fans is actually my lover behind my back"?

　　Some thoughts were running wild in his mind, but at this moment, a faint voice slowly sounded in his ears.

　　"Brother, the people above are you and Sister Ely, right?"

　　Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, Seele suddenly understood something. Her originally curious expression suddenly became quite resentful. She just stretched out her little head and stood between her brother and the phone, looking at him with her little blue eyes without blinking.

　　"...Ahem, should, probably."

　　His sight suddenly became vague and he dodged left and right, which made Seele even more dissatisfied. She puffed her cheeks, clasped her hands tightly, and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

　　"What?"

　　Bronya, who was standing by, was a little puzzled, and immediately came over in confusion.

　　"Sister Bronya, my brother... ah!!!"

　　Before she could finish her complaint, Seele felt a strong force acting on her waist, and her body instantly flew into the air.

　　"Ah, I feel so hungry. Seele, let's go and cook!"

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu supported himself with his legs and carried Seele, who was hugging him tightly, on his shoulders. While Bronya was distracted, he rushed out of the room.

　　"Hey, wait!"

　　As Bronya stretched out her hand to call back, all that was left in front of her was a tightly closed door.

　　"......"

　　......

　　After dinner, they rested for a whole night to get enough rest. The next morning, Minamiya Yu and Bronya appeared in the studio.

　　"Okay, we've rested for so long, let's get to work, get to work!"

　　After stretching for a long time, Minamiya Yu twisted his neck and turned on the computer.

　　"I have completed the basic movements of the little knight. How is your progress?"

　　Ask Hatsune to help open the various files of Hollow Knight, Minamiya Yu turned his head and looked at Bronya and said.

　　"......"

　　Hearing this, Bronya, who was originally full of energy, fell silent. She opened her mouth, and her confident expression suddenly shrugged. She responded weakly: "Hmm... I haven't finished any of them?"

　　I thought Minamiya Yu would be angry, or show disappointment or ridicule, but he just nodded casually: "This is the first time you've made an action game like this. I'd be surprised if you could finish it so quickly."

　　As for the previous Alahato α?

　　That is, the mechas are a bit cooler, the level design is a bit more interesting, but the level of action tuning in it can really be said to be a mess.

　　Then, Minamiya Yu softened his voice and said, "I just want to see how you are doing. We'll do it together soon."

　　As she spoke, Hatsune had already opened the files she needed and was standing in the corner of the screen, waving green onions to seek credit.

　　I clicked the mouse on Hatsune Miku's head, and that cute big head immediately showed a happy expression.

　　"Yes, I understand."

　　This response made Bronya breathe a sigh of relief, and she subconsciously leaned towards Minamiya Yu. She turned her head and happened to see him checking the various movements of the little knight she designed.

　　With curiosity and a desire to learn, Bronya read it carefully.

　　I don't know how Minamiya Yu adjusted it, the little knight's movements looked quite comfortable, smoother than Dove, but...

　　"The little knight should be the protagonist of this game, right?"

　　Bronya wondered.

　　"yes."

　　With his eyes still fixed on the computer screen, Minamiya Yu nodded.

　　"So, aren't his movements too few?"

　　Frowning, Bronya raised her doubts.

　　"Too little? I think it's enough."

　　After watching the movements and confirming that they were correct, Minamiya Yu turned his attention to Bronya.

　　“Of course, too much addition will make things look gorgeous, but sometimes subtraction can also bring a different kind of enjoyment.”

　　"Subtraction?"

　　"I'll let you experience it yourself when the time comes."

　　There is no need for complicated stacking, and you can still be popular by doing simple actions to the extreme.

　　However, speaking of this, Minamiya Yu suddenly remembered a joke.

　　An old Hollow Knight player teaches a new player: "This is movement, this is jumping, this is attacking. Okay, now that you have learned all the operations, let's challenge the easy-to-beat Mantis Lord!"

　　"oh......"

　　Noticing Bronya's thoughtful expression, Minamiya Yu moved closer to her and pointed at her screen: "Bring out the models of those monsters first, and I'll show them to you."

　　Afterwards, the morning was spent in the tapping of the mouse and keyboard and the discussion of the two. Bronya also watched the models she was responsible for getting better and better. This kind of positive feedback was so refreshing that she couldn't stop at all. Working seemed to have become a kind of enjoyment.

　　It was not until Seele angrily urged her to eat lunch for the third time that Bronya reluctantly stopped and sat up from her chair.

　　Looking at the backs of Minamiya Yu and Seele talking and laughing side by side, Bronya licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of heat.

　　I really want to squeeze out Yu, and integrate all his thoughts and abilities into my own mind.

　　After dinner, Minamiya Yu continued to work until the evening, and only then did he stop to relax.

　　"Rest?"

　　"Do you understand how to combine work and rest? I don't want us to get occupational diseases like back pain."

　　Especially his kidneys, they must be protected!

　　"All right."

　　Bronya's voice sounded a little regretful, but she still stopped obediently. There was nothing she could do, it was because she lost last time. Now Minamiya Yu is the boss!

　　"Why are you still sighing when you are not allowed to work?"

　　Unable to hold back a smile, Minamiya Yu picked up the fruit plate that Seele had cut, picked up a piece of apple in the shape of a little rabbit with a toothpick and put it next to Bronya's mouth.

　　"Here, eat one to moisten your throat."

　　After stuffing an apple into Bronya's mouth, Minamiya Yu looked at the screen again.

　　"Hatsune, sort out the files for Kaleidoscope 4. The basic framework of the system should be based on Kaleidoscope 3, and then fill in the sorted text and CG. Oh, and remember to change the theme color."

　　Soon, Hatsune began to faithfully carry out orders.

　　On his screen, various documents began to flash rapidly.

　　AI is really easy to use. All these tedious tasks that do not require much technical skills can be completed by AI, and even the bugs are much less than those caused by humans.

　　He borrowed the system and UI of Kaleidoscope from Yuzu. In his impression, Yuzu's UI is indeed the most comfortable one among galgames.

　　When I was making Kaleidoscope 1, the system framework had already been sorted out. Now I just need to slightly change the color and option flow, and fill in the text and CG.

　　"Aren't you going to work? What are you doing?"

　　"That's just doing what I do, of course."

　　He leaned back in his chair and smiled maliciously at Bronya, then saw her look of disgust.

　　"Butter?"

　　"......"

　　He originally wanted to refute that galgame is not equal to butter, but when he remembered that he was making a Kaleidoscope series, he suddenly fell silent.

Chapter 449: The British Lion's Roar

"Okay, thank you for participating in this review. We will send you a message when we have the results."

Akimoto Yasushi signaled to Astolfo that he could leave.

"Well, I'll wait."

Astolfo smiled very happily, as if he believed that the other party would inform him.

Nanaya felt that if the other party went for a job interview, he would definitely be the kind of person who would really wait if he said he would wait for two days for the result.

After all, he looks like a fool and is so easy to be fooled.

Watching Astolfo walk out of the venue happily, Akimoto Yasushi glanced at the others and asked, "How is it?"

This was the first time he had sought other people's opinions since the final trial began.

"What a complete little idiot." Rin expressed his opinion.

"Who says she isn't? But she is very unique." Akimoto agreed with Lin's point of view, "If she became an idol, she would be very popular."

"A clumsy but cute girl. She must be from a good family. Some of her movements show that she has participated in equestrian training."

Ryan concluded that she had a good impression of Astolfo because of his background.

"And she looks quite like what you like," Shiki teased. "Right, she looks cute, doesn't she?"

"Just a reminder, it's him, not her."

Nanaya said with a wry smile.

"Huh?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

"He?! Is he a boy?"

Shiki was immediately excited. It was the first time she met a boy who was as cute as her brother.

"So, you were just looking at her...his gender?"

Ryan's cheeks turned slightly red. She thought Nanaya was staring at him because he was pretty.

She even blamed him for behaving so indecently when he already had a sister of his own.

[I blamed him wrongly...]

Fortunately, Nanaya's words attracted everyone else's attention and no one noticed Ryan's ashamed expression.

"Boys..."

Akimoto was an experienced man, and he immediately knew why Nanaya asked that question just now.

To be honest, probably no one would have thought that there would be a boy in a girl idol group.

It’s not that no one has done this before, but that all such people have been caught without exception.

After all, we are a large group facing the public, and if a man sneaks in, it will be a very serious operational accident.

Things like AKB49 really only happen in comics.

Only some local idol groups with poor management are likely to be exploited in this way.

As for how Astolfo managed to get in, Nanaya thought it was just like how everyone would subconsciously assume that their junior fellow apprentice was a girl when they saw her.

It's simply because the other person looks cute that I subconsciously ignore the other person's gender.

As for Astolfo himself, he is just as everyone has commented.

He is just a fool.

The people chosen are those who don’t even know what girl idol group they are in, so how can they possibly pay attention to the gender requirements of the selection?

"Director Kiryu."

After thinking for a while, Akimoto expressed his opinion.

"As an idol, this kid named Astolfo has great potential, but his gender... is a pity."

[Yes, he is indeed very popular. ]

Thinking of all the jokes about Astolfo in his previous life, Nanaya felt that they were really useless.

After all, Astolfo is not Ori, he has Shiki as a substitute.

Exposing a man's identity is a very serious matter.

But it also feels a bit of a pity to just give up on this fool.

"Let me think about it."

Anyway, there is no need to announce the result directly today, Nanaya plans to think about it before making a decision.

"Okay, go ahead."

Nanaya made a summary, which was considered to have exposed Astolfo first.

The next girl is very interesting. Of course, this interest is relative. It depends on where you stand to look at the matter.

At least a few judges frowned after seeing it.

Because this girl dresses very...openly.

Nanaya thought for a long time but couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective.

But it is indeed so.

The girl was wearing super short clothes. Although they were not so short as to cover only her three points, she looked like the type that could seduce men.

Although this girl doesn't have the brown skin of Ryuki, her style is still very Shibuya-kei.

Of course this is the Japanese way of saying it. If it were Nanaya, she had a more appropriate name in her previous life - green tea bitch.

How to dress is of course everyone's freedom.

Even Washimine would not care how the girls dressed before they became his idols.

It’s fine if you imitate Huang Rong and dress up as a beggar, but whether you pass is up to the judges.

But because of this, these outfits will also reflect the personalities and characteristics of some girls.

The girl in front of me looks like someone who is particularly good at handling things.

Moreover, the other party kept looking at Nanaya, which made Nanaya even more uncomfortable.

Akimoto looked normal. Apart from Astolfo just now, he had seen all kinds of girls.

When he was doing the AKB audition, he even met several girls who explicitly hinted that they wanted to spend a night with him.

Akimoto was very touched. He was already an obese middle-aged man, but there was still such a young girl expressing her admiration for him.

Then he brushed them off without hesitation.

Although Akimoto had already given this girl a failing grade in his heart, he still had to go through the routine procedures with so many media reporters present.

"Then introduce yourself!"

"Hello everyone! My name is Nagagi Gin'ako, I'm a native of Tokyo, and I'm 19 years old."

[This woman really came for me. ]

Nanaya confirmed this again because the girl kept looking at him while talking.

In the introduction, he revealed his admiration for Nanaya Kiryu and even said that he very much hopes to appear in Nanaya's movie.

Nanaya didn't know whether this girl was smart or stupid.

I say she is smart because it is obvious that her words have been drafted and a lot of the content has been carefully polished, which is much better than those girls who stuttered before.

As for the idiot...

It's too explicit and unabashedly so.

To be honest, Nanaya can't generate any interest for this kind of girl at all.

Not to mention that her looks were far inferior to Rin and the others, just this thought alone made him dislike her.

But it was not her turn to say such a refusal, because Ryan spoke first.

"Ms. Nagagi, do you think acting is easy and that all you have to do is sleep with the director?"

Ryan was like a furious lion at this moment, and her very stern and angry voice echoed in the hall.

I can only say that the aura of the Lion King is different. As soon as she opens her mouth, no one dares to speak.

The person on the stage was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word.

"If you have this idea, I advise you to take it back! Please maintain the most basic respect for my sister's profession!"

Ryan was really angry, her blue eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

In her eyes, the attitude of the girl on the stage was simply an insult to her sister's profession, which was something Ryan, a fanatical sister protector, could not tolerate.

"In order to play the role of Saber, Lily had to undergo formal action training for up to 8 hours every day! She even strained her wrist!"

"Exactly."

Rin also spoke up. She crossed her arms and looked at the other person with contempt. "I strained my waist countless times for the role of the elf archer in Goblin Slayer. If you want a job that allows you to make money without doing anything, there are many places in Ginza that are suitable for you!"

Nanaya shrugged his shoulders and agreed with the two queens.

From the perspective of work dedication, Lily and Rin are both very responsible and they will definitely complete the tasks assigned to them by Nanaya.

There are no shortcuts to becoming famous and gaining public recognition.

It is impossible for Nanaya to do anything that would damage his reputation just because of physical relations.

Shiki on the other side showed an understanding look. She pinched her chin and whispered, "Well, what if we let her try to jump off the building? Just like when you filmed "Overlooking the Scenery"."

"I'll probably be scared to death."

Nanaya said indifferently.

"It seems that I came to the right place today. There really is such a girl." Shiki squinted his eyes and looked at Nanaya, "Are you really so popular? I can't tell."

Nanaya flicked Shiki on the forehead.

"Stop talking nonsense, this was originally your job, right? You actually let Ryan and Rin do it for you!"

Shiki said innocently: "They said everything they should say."

With things getting to this point, the review naturally cannot continue.

This girl named Nagagi Gin'ako hurriedly left the stage without even performing her talent show.

After the girl left, Nanaya picked up the microphone and reminded the media reporters present.

"Ahem, sorry, don't show that part just now."

Although it was understandable, Rin's words were really explicit, and it would not be good for her to let them out.

No reporter expressed any objection. Those who were able to enter the venue today were all media outlets that had a good relationship with Washimine, so they naturally would not object to Nanaya's decision.

Ryan secretly looked at Nanaya with gratitude. She thought Nanaya was protecting his image.

She did lose her composure just now, and of course, if it happened again, she would still say the same thing.

After all, she was her most precious sister.

But on the other hand...

[It seems like I came to the right place today. I still need to help Lily keep an eye on Kiryu. ]

The aftermath of this long-term review lasted for a long time.

The next few girls behaved inappropriately, and their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Ryan.

It seems that Ryan's lion roar is really powerful.

Fortunately, Yasushi Akimoto is very experienced. He tries to encourage these girls while discovering their shining points.

For Akimoto, this trip to the final review was not in vain.

He has already found several girls who are suitable for AKB and plans to recruit them into his team when the opportunity arises.

Another girl stood on the stage. This girl had a red ponytail, a sweet face and impressive big eyes.

"Hello everyone, hello Akimoto-sensei! Director Kiryu! My name is Kujo Kaede, I was born in Tokyo, my hobbies are horseback riding and raising wild boars."

This young lady from Kyoto finally made her debut.

Chapter 59 Returning Home

　　Early the next morning, before daybreak, Ely had already packed up and left. As soon as Minamiya Yu woke up, he saw Ely's farewell message on his phone.

　　“Parting is always sad, so let’s freeze our memories in this beautiful last night and look forward to seeing you next time~”

　　The playful tone brought a smile to Minamiya Yu's face, and he quickly typed a reply.

　　"Well, I look forward to the day when you come."

　　Last night, when it was all over, under a rain of fireworks, he extended the invitation.

　　Ely agreed with a smile, but she had to wait until everything here was settled before she could go to him.

　　Didi.

　　Minamiya Yu had just put on his clothes when he received a reply from Ely.

　　"Hehe, I'll finish it as soon as possible. By the way, Yu, I left a surprise for you, remember to sign for it~"

　　"Surprise? Where?"

　　"Secret?~"

　　After a few more casual jokes, Minamiya Yu stretched lazily and walked out of the room. It was time to pack up and go home.

　　"Ah, it's Yu, good morning~"

　　When I opened the door, I ran into Kiana, who had obviously just woken up.

　　She yawned, scratched her messy white hair, and stood in the corridor in dishevel, looking dazed as if she hadn't washed yet.

　　"Yeah, morning."

　　After greeting with a smile, Minamiya Yu wanted to go downstairs first, but Qiana became more energetic at this time and suddenly called him.

　　"By the way, why didn't Ayu come to set off the fireworks yesterday?"

　　"fireworks?"

　　Wasn’t that specially arranged by Sister Ely?

　　"Yes, Ely said she prepared a lot of fireworks for us to have fun. Everyone went there yesterday, but why didn't I see you, Yu, and Ely?"

　　At this point, Kiana mumbled, "Speaking of which, Ely is really weird. She insisted that we start lighting the fireworks at sunset..."

　　Minamiya Yu couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly, but the fact he suddenly realized shocked him greatly.

　　Elysia, was this all part of your calculations?!

　　But I have to say, when the fireworks bloomed and reflected Elysia's rosy cheeks, it was really heart-warming. The beauty of that moment has been engraved in his heart, and he will probably never forget it.

　　After breakfast and packing up, when they left the beach and locked the door, they suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.

　　"It feels like time has passed so quickly." Kiana sighed as she looked at the iron gate that once again blocked the beach.

　　"Maybe it's because we're all so happy together."

　　Standing next to Kiana, Mei comforted her gently.

　　"Okay, it's not like there won't be a chance to come back later."

　　Patting Seele’s little head, Minamiya Yu walked in front.

　　"Let's go, it's time to go home."

　　Although it sounded cool, everyone forgot one thing.

　　Minamiya Yu seemed to be airsick.

　　.......

　　"vomit......"

　　After getting off the plane, Minamiya Yu suddenly felt the sky was dark, the sun and moon were dim, and his stomach was churning. He wanted to vomit but couldn't, so he could only dry heave in pain.

　　"Brother, are you okay?"

　　Seele held her brother's body worriedly, she was almost crying with anxiety, her heart full of self-blame.

　　How could she forget that her brother was airsick?

　　Not only Seele, Bronya also felt distressed when she saw Minamiya Yu in this state. Her pale face made people worry whether something big might happen.

　　"I, I'm fine... Just help me go back and rest..."

　　They hurriedly hailed a taxi, and Seele and Bronya helped Minamiya Yu get in.

　　"Are you okay? Do you want us to go together?"

　　Meiyi and the other two surrounded them worriedly, and asked with a frown as they looked at Minamiya Yu who was already lying on the chair.

　　"It's okay, Seele and Sister Bronya are enough, everyone should go home first."

　　After first responding to everyone gently, Seele carefully hugged her brother's body and let him lean on her.

　　"If there is any problem, please call us immediately and let him go back and rest as soon as possible."

　　"Um."

　　Bronya waved to a few people, and the driver started the car quickly after receiving the message.

　　Looking at the taxi that merged into the traffic and quickly disappeared, Sirin sighed and said slowly: "I hope everyone is okay."

　　I don’t know if it’s because the first time is new but the second time is familiar, but this time, Minamiya Yu slowly regained consciousness after just one afternoon.

　　"water......"

　　His dry throat made him speak hoarsely, and soon, Minamiya Yu felt the mouth of the glass against his lips. He opened his mouth and began to drink in small sips.

　　Only after he finished the whole glass of water did he stop and breathe a sigh of relief.

　　When he opened his eyes, he immediately met Bronya's worried gaze.

　　"How are you feeling?" She put down the cup and asked with concern.

　　"Much better, please bother you and Seele."

　　The churning feeling in his stomach had disappeared, but his head was still a little dizzy, but it was not serious and did not affect his activities.

　　The familiar scenes around him made him realize that he was back in his bedroom at home.

　　"I didn't do anything. Do you want a glass of water?"

　　After pouring another glass of warm water, Bronya looked at him and asked.

　　"Not for now, let me take my time."

　　Click.

　　The sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the two. Seele came in with a bowl of porridge and whispered, "Sister Bronya, eat something first..."

　　As soon as she put the tray on the table, Seele met the eyes of Minamiya Yu, who was lying on the bed and looking at her with a smile.

　　"Brother, you're awake!"

　　The slightly uneasy expression quickly turned into surprise. Seele couldn't wait to come to the bedside. Just as she was about to pounce on him, she quickly stopped and approached her brother cautiously.

　　"Brother, are you okay?"

　　"It's just motion sickness. You and Bronya are worrying too much."

　　Minamiya Yu said helplessly, propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, then opened his arms to Seele.

　　"Then you don't know how scary you looked when you just got off the plane."

　　Seeing Seele happily coming over to be hugged, Bronya suppressed the slight envy in her heart and said with some dissatisfaction while crossing her arms.

　　"That was a miscalculation. I was so happy these past few days that I forgot about my airsickness."

　　Minamiya Yu felt a bit of a headache when thinking about this. It seemed that he must remember it well in the future.

　　"It's all Seele's fault. If Seele still remembered, brother wouldn't be so upset."

　　"I forgot what I said. It's normal for Seele not to remember it."

　　After patting Seele's shoulder in his arms, Minamiya Yu suddenly heard the buzzing sound of his cell phone.

　　What's new?

　　As soon as I turned my gaze, I saw Bronya handing me her cell phone.

　　"Thank you very much."

　　After saying thank you casually, Minamiya Yu turned on the screen. Seele's little head came over curiously and peeked in openly.

　　Minamiya Yu didn't care. He rubbed Seele's little head and then opened the message notification.

　　Some pop-up windows came from Kiana, Mei and Sirin, and they all asked about his situation in the group.

　　After reporting safety to the group, he noticed new messages on Destiny Blog.

　　'The blogger you follow, Miss Pink Fairy, has posted a new tweet~'

　　Elysia?

　　I clicked on it out of curiosity, and soon the details of the tweet appeared on the screen.

　　"I had a very, very, very happy holiday. Love you, oh~"

　　Attached below is a photo, which shows the blurry backs of the two people sitting on the rocks, leaning against each other, while gorgeous fireworks are blooming in the boundless night sky.

　　The news about this fairy lady came out half a month ago, and the comments instantly exploded.

Chapter 448 Cute ♂ Child

Nanaya looked at the girl standing on the stage.

Nanaya was attracted from the first time the other party came in.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that his crotch is itchy because the other person is so beautiful.

Even though the other person is really beautiful.

Judging from her height of 1.65 meters, she is not particularly tall, but it is just right compared to the other person's slender figure.

The girl is also very beautiful, with a beautiful oval face and a high nose bridge with obvious Western characteristics.

But her expression seemed very lively, especially her big mouth opened because of her smile, which allowed people to see her cute little fangs at a glance.

The long pink hair was tied into a braid at the back of her head, which made the girl look more youthful and energetic.

Maybe because she is too slender, the girl always gives people a hopping feeling when she walks.

But this actually makes her legs look even more eye-catching.

And the black suspenders, black stockings and crimson high-heeled boots...

Cough cough.

In short, at first sight alone, this girl attracted most people's attention.

Even Akimoto Yasushi, who was already a little tired, felt his eyes brighten, and his broad back became much straighter.

Of course, Akimoto is not only interested in the other person's appearance, he pays more attention to the other person's lively and cheerful personality.

After all, many celebrity agencies don’t like girls who are too noisy, but for idols, this kind of personality is actually a plus.

After all, what idols sell is a kind of character setting, and usually this setting is either inherent to the girls themselves or deliberately added in post-production operations.

Generally speaking, the former is easier than the latter. After all, things that are not your own will always appear unnatural, and there is also the risk of being exposed.

After all, Japan's entertainment industry is not like Hollywood, and the techniques for creating personalities are not very mature.

Hollywood is the entertainment industry where people really create their own personalities. Almost all stars will be labeled and then managed by their agencies after entering this circle.

Of course, Hollywood does this not only to make stars more marketable, but also to better control them.

Every year in Hollywood, there are stars who are criticized for the collapse of their image.

Except for a few that were exposed due to poor acting, most of them were caused by disagreements between the stars and their agencies or film companies, and then were deliberately exposed.

All we can say is that beneath the glamorous shell of the entertainment industry, there is nothing but naked profit.

Akimoto certainly knows the consequences of the collapse of one's personal image, especially since there are some neurotic people among Japan's idol fans who particularly like to dig into the privacy of idols.

If they find out that their idols are manipulated, they will feel like they have been fooled and will continue to go to 2CH to criticize them.

These guys are omnipresent. Who knows if there are any special talents among them.

For example, a stalker can accurately locate an idol by looking at the reflection of his pupils in his selfies.

After dealing with idol fans so many times, Akimoto naturally understands what these guys think.

When he was working on AKB, he had already consciously reduced the idea of operating and shaping characters, and began to look for more natural girls.

For example, the one in front of you.

"She's a very interesting girl. She should be a good rough stone." Akimoto suggested to Lin.

Rin glanced at a certain man and said unhappily, "Yeah, that man's eyes were fixed on her."

"What? No."

After hearing what Lin said, Nanaya, who had been staring at the stage, immediately came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

"I just think this girl looks familiar." Nanaya replied, touching his nose.

"Huh, isn't this just an excuse for men to flirt with you?"

Obviously, Nanaya's explanation did not satisfy Rin.

“…”

Nanaya didn't know what to say because everything he said was true.

Despite the presence of Akimoto, Nanaya still decided to participate in the final selection in person, just to see if there are any girls like Rin or Lily.

But he never expected that he would see Astolfo here!

Which world line is wrong that would allow this precious beast to participate in the selection meeting of a girl idol group? !

From the beginning, Nanaya has been checking the gender of the pink-haired cat on the table.

Unfortunately, Nanaya had no way of telling the other person's gender no matter what he did.

The other person has a flat body but no Adam's apple.

Just like with Ori, it is impossible to tell what kind of person this candidate is from his appearance.

However, the expression on Nanaya's face as he stared at the other person was completely misunderstood by the other judges.

"Hey, big brother, do you like pigtails?"

Yumi-chan looked at her hair.

【Would you like to try changing your hairstyle? 】

Ryan was a little angry. She warned him directly: "Kiryu, are you worthy of the Wettin family with such perverted behavior?!"

"I'm not. I don't."

Nanaya felt that he really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only wave his hands repeatedly.

"Well, everyone is here to see girls."

Akimoto explained in a low voice, and then he said to the girl on the stage: "Come and introduce yourself."

"Bonjour! My name is Astolfo Quill! And then... Anyway, please take care of me!" (?ω?)

The pink-haired girl on the stage made a rabbit hand gesture and winked at everyone.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Akimoto felt like stars flew out when he blinked.

【Puff----】

Nanaya sprayed it out directly, and he coughed hard to cover up his embarrassment.

[Astolfo Star-Lord, are you a collection of fools?! ]

“…”

Akimoto was a little embarrassed. He thought the other party would say a few more words, so he kept waiting for him to finish speaking.

After all, the other person seems so energetic and talks a lot.

However, after saying this, the other party stopped talking and just looked at the audience with great interest.

This made Akimoto feel very embarrassed.

[She doesn't seem to have a bad personality, does she? Why did she shut up? ]

"That's all?"

Akimoto asked another question.

The creature that looked like Astolfo knocked his head and said, "A no, I have so much to say and I don't know where to start. So let you, the judge, ask me."

"We ask you questions?"

"Yes, yes. Come on, judges, please come over. I will tell you everything! Come on! Come on! I can't wait!"

The other party's silly look made many reporters laugh out loud, but Astolfo was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled silly and waved to the reporters.

Nanaya was certain that this guy was really the idiot in his memory.

Akimoto was also surprised by Astolfo's behavior. After examining so many girls, this was the first time he saw this style.

And she doesn't look like she's pretending.

"So where are you from?"

Astolfo's Western face was so obvious that Akimoto had noticed it a long time ago.

"In terms of ancestry, I'm British, but I grew up in France." Astolfo tilted his head and said, "Oh, that's right. I live in Japan now, so I'm half Japanese. So, I'm of three countries?"

“…”

It was the first time that Akimoto saw bloodline being discussed in this way.

"So you're still in school now?"

"Yes, I'm studying in a junior college." Astolfo nodded.

"Aren't you worried about the conflict between idols and studies?"

“Not at all.”

Astolfo proudly puffed out his flat chest.

"I would have failed the course anyway if I went to school."

[This is not something to be proud of.]

Akimoto Yasushi frowned slightly.

Although idols don’t really care about grades, it’s still a bit inappropriate to say it so openly.

After all, isn't this telling everyone that studying is useless and that you should just become an idol?

This is not a good thing for some sensitive parents.

"Well, you should give a talent show first."

Akimoto had no choice but to enter the next stage ahead of time, otherwise it would be bad if the pink-haired guy said something about not studying well.

It seems that Akimoto also noticed that Astolfo's brain was not working well.

When it comes to talent shows, girls are usually allowed to choose their own performances.

But generally girls choose either singing or dancing.

Occasionally, some girls choose to do stand-up comedy, but the results are very unsatisfactory. After all, being a comedian requires very strong skills, and these girls can't just practice a little bit and pass it.

But Astolfo is different. He said singing and dancing are too easy and he wants them all.

So he began to sing and dance on the stage.

But the song that Astolfo chose was problematic—it was the Rabbit Dance.

"left left right right go turn around go go go!"

Watching Astolfo performing very hard on the stage, the judges and media reporters below all had expressions as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

It was obviously a very funny thing, but seeing as this cute girl was performing very seriously and hard, everyone felt it was a bit rude to laugh out loud.

"The last time I was this embarrassed was at my birthday party two years ago."

Ryan said with a strange expression that she felt the atmosphere on the scene was really similar to when Lily sang "Happy Birthday to You".

"Okay, let's go here first."

Akimoto interrupted Astolfo's performance.

The Rabbit Dance song can be played in an infinite loop. Looking at how hard Astolfo is trying, I guess he will keep performing unless I tell him to stop.

"Can you do another variety show?" Akimoto added a question.

The rabbit dance alone is too simple, and there is no gain at all except knowing that Astolfo has a good voice.

"Um... Crow on a plane?"

Astolfo opened his arms and made a pose similar to the Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg.

This pose alone may seem a bit vulgar, but paired with Astolfo's delicate face it makes him look particularly cute.

"Puff!"

Nanaya couldn't help laughing, but he immediately covered it up by pretending to drink water.

"It really is Astolfo's characteristic." Nanaya sighed with a bit of a smile.

"Astolfo Quill is such an interesting girl, but...she has some problems with her brain."

Shiki nodded and concluded, her words were recognized by many people.

At this point, Akimoto was originally planning to end his review of Astolfo, but Nanaya asked a question out loud.

"Why did you join a girl idol group like Trier?"

Because there were reporters present, Nanaya didn't dare to ask too obviously.

As a result, Astolfo's eyes suddenly widened.

"Hey hey hey???! Is this a girl idol group?! I saw the poster saying whether or not to become a big star, and I thought it was a talent show for celebrities!"

Astolfo's words made everyone laugh out loud. They probably thought Astolfo was just a confused kid who had read the wrong poster.

But Nanaya was different, he finally confirmed one thing.

The gender of the pink-haired cat on the stage is not female, but Ori!

Chapter 58 The Palm Journey

　　Happy time is like sand in the hand, slipping through the fingers inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, it is almost the date when the group plans to return.

　　"We're leaving tomorrow."

　　At the seaside under the setting sun, Minamiya Yu and Ely walked side by side on the beach.

　　I don't know how Ely got Seele and Bronya away and found an opportunity to take him out alone to relax.

　　Turning around, the soft sunset reflected the somewhat unhappy expression on Ely's face. For a moment, Minamiya Yu even wanted to stay here with Ely forever, but he quickly suppressed the thought and nodded slowly.

　　"Well, the plane tickets were prepared before I came here, and I've played long enough this time, so I still have a lot to do when I return."

　　It has been almost half a month since Elysia arrived, which is quite a long time for relaxation and rest.

　　The research and development of Hollow Knight needs to continue to advance and strive to be completed before the end of the year. The CG of Kaleidoscope 4, The Girl Who Loves Crime and Punishment, which has the most amazing plot in the series, has also been drawn by the hard-working Eromanga-sensei. We just need to contact the sales channels after he organizes and packages it. By then, we will also need to design special features and other complicated things.

　　If I think about it carefully, there are still a lot of things to do. I guess I will have to spend every day at work when I go back.

　　"Well, however, during this period of time, Miss Fairy has been very satisfied~"

　　The lost expression quickly disappeared, and Ely quickly returned to being the fairy lady that Minamiya Yu was familiar with, who seemed to be always happy.

　　"Such a wonderful time cannot be wasted. Come on, Ayu, let's run together."

　　The empty palm was suddenly tightly grasped by a slightly cool little hand. Ely stood in front and led Minamiya Yu to run forward together.

　　The slippers were scattered, and the soles of the feet were stepping on the fine sand soaked by the tide, letting the splashing sea water draw mottled patches on the dry beach.

　　This kind of aimless running seemed to make him forget everything. The air flowing by his ears divided the world into two parts. It seemed that this space only existed with him and Elysia, who was holding his hand tightly.

　　Unfortunately, running on wet sand is not an easy task, and an accident soon happened.

　　Minamiya Yu felt his feet slip and his body weight suddenly tilted forward, causing Ely, who was being pulled along, to fall to the ground as well, and the two of them rolled together.

　　“Oh, it hurts.”

　　Minamiya Yu, who was pressed down, rubbed her waist. She was hurt by Ely when she fell just now. She must not ruin their future happiness.

　　"It's all your fault, Sister Ely. If you hadn't slipped, we wouldn't have fallen!"

　　Seeing Ely lying on top of him, also a little dizzy from the fall, Minamiya Yu immediately complained and asked angrily.

　　"Wow wow wow wow, Yu, you're actually putting the blame on me!"

　　Supporting her aching chest, Elysia immediately puffed up her cheeks and glared at him angrily.

　　"Who saw it? Is there any evidence?"

　　"you......"

　　"And it hurts me so much. Why don't you just stop calling me Pink Fairy and call me Pink Pig instead?"

　　I thought that since I had already started the trouble, I might as well be bold and do it in one go!

　　"Haha, Ayu, you finally said something you shouldn't have said. Take it from me!"

　　Taking advantage of the high position, Ely sneered and placed her two small hands on Minamiya Yu's sides. She knew someone's weakness very well.

　　Feeling her sensitive area being attacked, Minamiya Yu's expression suddenly changed, and she begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, Sister Ely, I was just possessed by a ghost. Now I want to be a good person, can you let me go?"

　　“It’s too late!!!”

　　As soon as she finished speaking, her two little hands began to scratch quickly, and soon, Minamiya Yu's uncontrollable laughter was heard on the beach.

　　After a while, Ely stopped when she saw that she was ahead. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. She turned her back to Minamiya Yu, who was still smiling stiffly, and said calmly like an expert, "The purity is too low."

　　As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around with a chuckle and helped Minamiya Yu up.

　　"I wanted to say that line a long time ago. Thank you, Yu, for fulfilling my wish~"

　　"...As long as you are happy, but I feel like I could say one more thing."

　　"Um?"

　　"That running under the sunset is my lost youth~"

　　"Haha, that's true~"

　　After laughing for so long, Minamiya Yu still felt weak all over, so Ely pulled him and they sat together on a large reef nearby.

　　The orange sunset looked increasingly gentle, and the approaching night brought a slight chill. The two bodies pressed tightly together, as if to transfer warmth to each other.

　　The height difference of nearly 20 centimeters made Ely lean on Minamiya Yu's shoulder naturally, and he also reached out and embraced her, making the two of them closer.

　　At the same time, their eyes were cast towards the setting sun that was gradually blending into the sea. The dreamy halo and magnificent scenery made them mesmerized for a moment. This might be the meaning of travel.

　　Thinking of traveling, Minamiya Yu suddenly said, "By the way, I remember Sister Ely, you had a plan to travel around the world. Why did you stop now?"

　　"Ayu still remembers this incident."

　　Ely smiled. Those were the words she wrote when she first created Miss Fairy's blog.

　　"Of course, I am your number one fan, Miss Fairy~"

　　When Minamiya Yu heard about this during a chat, he immediately went over and clicked on the follow button, successfully becoming the first fan with a fan number.

　　"Yes, why?"

　　Ely slowly relaxed her body and put almost all her weight on Minamiya Yu, which made them get closer together, as if they were about to merge into one.

　　"Maybe it's because traveling alone is too lonely."

　　It was fine at first, but since...

　　After taking a look at the young man beside her, Ely stretched out her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and perched directly on top of him.

　　This time it was really a voice in my ear.

　　The warm breath was mixed with an alluring whisper: "So I've been waiting~"

　　"wait?"

　　"Yes, I am waiting for another pair of footprints to accompany me on this journey~"

　　"!!!"

　　The almost explicit whisper made Minamiya Yu's heartbeat instantly reach its peak, and because they were pressed face to face, he couldn't suppress some special reactions.

　　At this time, the last ray of setting sun fell, and suddenly a beam of light rose into the sky along the other side of the coastline.

　　boom!

　　Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky. The brilliance at that moment overshadowed the light of the bright moon and stars, and also reflected Elysia's slightly red cheeks.

　　"Did you prepare these fireworks, Ely?"

　　"Well, do you like it?"

　　"like."

　　"That's good. Also, Ayu, you are not a good boy~"

　　She tried hard to maintain her dignity as an older sister, but her voice was trembling.

　　"Sister Ely, you should be more or less aware of your own charm. I feel that my self-control has already..."

　　His voice was suppressed by a slender finger. The endless fireworks made Elysia's cheeks red. She looked into his eyes and slowly squatted down. A layer of white mist lingered around the pink crystal.

　　"So, Ayu needs Sister Ely's help?"

　　"......"

　　The words were carried into Minamiya Yu's ears by the breeze, and his consciousness also fell into warmth.

Chapter 457: The Gate to a New World

Nanaya's indifference to the Oscars puzzled the young assistant named Barry. In her opinion, the Oscars should be the pursuit of all directors.

However, as an excellent assistant, personal emotions mean nothing to her. She only needs to serve her clients well.

So our Miss Barry just followed Nanaya closely with a faint smile on her face.

As for Nanaya, he greeted the actors and several behind-the-scenes staff one by one.

Then he stood with these people again and completed the routine photo.

If it were in the past, Nanaya would definitely turn around and walk into the cinema after taking the photos.

But that’s not possible today, as his multiple duties forced him to continue standing at the door and carrying out various public relations activities.

In between shaking hands and chatting with the guests, Nanaya glanced at the actor area with the corner of his eyes, observing the situation of the leading actors, led by Lily.

The most popular of all is undoubtedly Lily.

This girl, who has been called the new-age "English Rose" by the media, has a smile on her face as happy as the citizens of London seeing the sun come out today.

As for the British gay trio - Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and James McAvoy.

They gathered together and enjoyed the star treatment.

Johnson did the same thing, and the smile on his face was even brighter than the California sunshine.

Nanaya roughly understood the thoughts of these actors. After working hard for so many years, they finally became famous. It would be unreasonable not to enjoy it.

Take the gay trio for example. They all graduated from serious performing arts schools and have spent most of their lives just learning acting.

For them, being in the spotlight is the real meaning of their lives.

It was not until the premiere red carpet ceremony was almost over that Nanaya and Lily and others walked into the cinema.

Because of various promotional activities including interviews, photo-taking and other activities, by the time he walked into the screening room, most of the audience and guests attending the premiere had already entered, and they were all eagerly waiting for the screening to begin.

Shiki and Ori came over immediately after seeing Nanaya.

The topic of the three people's conversation is naturally inseparable from the movie that will be released soon. The movie FZ is not just the work of Nanaya alone.

To be honest, it's more like a child shared by three people.

Hmm... it seems a bit...

"Washimine has secured the maximum possible number of theaters for the film's opening, more than 4,000 theaters in North America."

Shiki Matsuno said excitedly that this was the first time he saw his work had such a large number of prints. He felt a little excited just thinking about it.

"It's 4,039 theaters and 6,235 screens." Nanaya corrected. He always remembered the number of screens his movies opened on very clearly.

"You picked a really good time slot. We don't have any strong competitors during the same period." Shiki continued, "Nana, the market you opened up with your first two Fate movies is really great. Plus, everyone is in the standard summer schedule, and the ones we're going to face next are all small productions with production costs of tens of millions of dollars at most. There's no way they're going to have any impact on FZ."

Nanaya tilted his head and asked, "When did you start caring about the box office?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'd like to not care, but if FZ's performance is too bad, my reputation in the international market will also be damaged," Shiki replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Don't worry about that." Ori seemed to be in a very good mood. "300 Spartans has passed its peak box office success. This movie no longer poses any threat. We will have the market to ourselves before May."

Nanaya nodded, saying that the off-season also has its advantages.

The absence of competitors makes their films the only choice for most audiences.

Because of the same situation in his previous life, he had to watch "Thor 2: The Dark World" four times, which he considered to be the most mediocre work in the MCU.

The reason is that I went out with different friends during that period, and every time I chose a movie, there was really no other choice except this one.

By the same token, Sony's "Venom" also dominated the autumn off-season market, allowing this not-so-excellent work to earn a lot of US dollars.

The same situation is happening to FZ now. There are no wolves in front and no tigers behind, and the schedule couldn’t be better.

What's more, Nanaya felt that the quality of his movie was much better than "Thor 2" and "Venom", and he really couldn't think of any reason for the film to fail.

If it still fails after all this, it will only prove that Nanaya's level is just so-so.

"That's right. If the results are good, we can even try to expand the screening to the following week."

Shion joined the conversation at some point and took Nanaya's arm.

"This is not the highly competitive summer season. If we give in a little, maybe we can create miracles for the movie. I want to borrow this guy. Do you two mind?"

"Certainly."

"Haha, please come in, big sister."

Ori and Shiki Matsuno shook their heads and left tactfully.

"What a ungrateful fellow."

Nanaya snorted coldly.

Shion's eyes flashed dangerously, "Why? Is it unfair for you, the great director, to be with me?"

"Of course not."

On such a matter of principle, Nanaya would have to have his head hit by a hammer before he nodded.

"That's good."

Shion was very satisfied. She tilted her head towards the movie screen and said, "Let's start the battle now, my general."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nanaya bowed to Shion.

————————————————————————————————————————

As a long-term journalist cooperating withWashimine, Ms. Katsushira can get two free tickets.

So she brought her new cameraman with her.

It’s not that Miss Katsushira has any ideas about this young man, but because countless colleagues in the magazine hope to have the opportunity to attend the premiere.

Everyone was very interested in accompanying their magazine's star reporter to such a grand premiere event.

However, the focus of the male colleagues was on accompanying Miss Katsushira, while the focus of the female colleagues was on attending this grand event.

Miss Katsushira, who is single, does not have a convenient cover like a boyfriend. So when there are too many people begging her and it is not easy to refuse anyone, Miss Katsushira directly uses work as an excuse to get the photographer under her to join.

If the novel had this cameraman as the protagonist, he should have taken this opportunity to watch a movie together and started a heart-shattering love affair with Miss Katsushira.

It is a story about lovers who finally become brother and sister after going through 81 difficulties.

It’s a pity that this cameraman is just a minor character who doesn’t even have a name.

Moreover, this silly guy has always been thinking about hooking up with a little star by using his identity as a reporter, and he has no idea about the beautiful senior next to him.

Maybe that's why Miss Katsushira brought this guy out.

Look, after this guy sat down, the thing that interested him most was the pair of 3D glasses in his hand.

"Katsushika-senpai, how effective do you think these glasses are? Won't the effect be improved in the end, and instead make the eyes blind?"

"Anyway, the effect is much greater than you think."

Miss Katsushira, who had already experienced the realistic screen experience at the preview, seemed a little dissatisfied with her younger brother's skeptical tone.

"Really?"

The cameraman scratched his head and replied, "My impression of 3D movies is still at the stage of red and blue eyes. This kind of black glasses is the first time I have seen."

"I'm telling you, as someone in the film and entertainment industry, you should at least know some basic common sense, right?"

Miss Katsushira held her forehead and said, "This kind of 3D technology has been around for a long time. The movie The Polar Express a few years ago already had an IMAX 3D version, and the 3D technology they used at the time was this."

"But I heard that movie got a mediocre rating."

Seeing the innocent smile on the little brother's face, Miss Katsushira's forehead was already covered with crosses.

"Because the film still has huge technical flaws, and the plot is also very problematic, which led to the film's average reviews. But!"

Miss Katsushira exclaimed: "This is still a great attempt, because this movie provides technical ideas and explorations for later 3D movies. And FZ, which we are going to see now, is a practical application of 3D technology based on it."

"Is it so amazing? I didn't know it."

Looking at the silly cameraman, Miss Katsushira couldn't help but ask if this guy is here to be a supporting actor?

[Forget it, after this idiot sees the movie, he will know what visual shock is. ]

In fact, it's not just the person next to her. Miss Katsushira has seen several ordinary viewers feel curious and worried about this 3D mode.

Except for a few European emperors who have nothing to do, the vast majority of the audience who can come to grab the box office of the premiere are supporters of the Fate series.

Therefore, what these audiences discussed the most was the movie that was about to be released, and all the audiences were looking forward to the release of this movie.

Apart from the content directly related to the FZ movie, the only thing left is the issue of the 3D glasses in hand.

The concept of 3D movies is not new, and red and blue 3D movie technology has long been used in television production.

But just like all new technologies are not perfect, the red and blue 3D technology has big problems and no viewer's eyes can sustain it for too long.

After the initial novelty period, the audience's concept of 3D movies basically turned into contempt.

Everyone has always thought that this is just a gimmick, and many people have even begun to boycott 3D movies, believing that this is just a device made by evil scientists to blind people's eyes.

Therefore, these audiences who have never experienced a real 3D movie are curious, excited and worried about the 3D version of the FZ movie.

Will this be a groundbreaking work, or will it still use the 3D gimmick as in the past?

With these questions in mind, everyone put on their glasses following the prompts from the theater broadcast and waited quietly for the movie to officially begin.

Then they were shocked by what happened before their eyes.

Just like the lucky people in the world who watched "The Arrival of a Train at the Station" on December 28, 1895.

A door called "3D movies" opened in the world of these viewers.

Chapter 57: Saying Things I Shouldn’t Say

　　Even though Black Seele is always so aggressive every time she comes out, she may actually be the easiest one to deal with.

　　There's no way, her defense is too low. Get a little closer and Black Seele's defense collapses in an instant. That desire for touch, desire for recognition, but also the awkward shyness due to tsundere is so cute.

　　"That's your business."

　　I feel helpless about what happened to Seele. After all, who made her have such bad intentions in the first place?

　　"It's obviously my brother who bullied the other me..."

　　Ignoring Seele's tiny complaints, Minamiya Yu pushed Seele aside, stood up and stretched.

　　It’s a pity that it’s not afternoon now, otherwise I could hold Seele and take a nap.

　　The volleyball match not far away had come to a temporary end. Minamiya Yu touched Seele's little head and took over Seele's job of delivering drinks.

　　There is no other way. The child still needs to be coaxed. Seele’s problem naturally needs to be solved by Seele herself.

　　Minamiya Yu picked up the tray with a few glasses of juice and some cut fruits on it, and in her other hand she was holding a big watermelon.

　　The glaring sunlight outside the parasol made Minamiya Yu squint his eyes, and he felt warm all over.

　　"Ayu, here, here!!"

　　Ely, who had been paying attention to him, soon spotted Minamiya Yu approaching and immediately stood up and waved to him happily.

　　With both hands occupied, Minamiya Yu could only smile and nod, then quickened his pace and came to them.

　　"Where's Seele?"

　　Bronya picked up a glass of orange juice and drank it while looking behind Minamiya Yu in confusion.

　　It's a bit abnormal that the little follower didn't catch up.

　　"I'm shutting myself in."

　　"?"

　　Noticing Minamiya Yu's amused expression, Bronya frowned in confusion.

　　"Don't worry, she just screwed herself. I didn't bully her."

　　Minamiya Yu also picked up a glass of orange juice and clinked the glass with Ely, then turned his gaze to Ely who was drinking heartily.

　　"Ha~ So satisfying."

　　After drinking a glass of juice, Ely squinted her eyes comfortably.

　　Looking at the slightly bigger belly, Minamiya Yu always felt that there was some fat around her waist.

　　"What's wrong, Yu? Are you mesmerized by Elysia's beautiful appearance? Hehe, you can praise me anytime~"

　　Pinching her waist, Ely bent over and winked at Minamiya Yu cutely with an affectionate smile on her face.

　　Unfortunately, Minamiya Yu's sight was attracted by the fingers that were slightly sunk into the soft flesh on her waist. She didn't know if she had a brain attack, but she said something subconsciously.

　　"Elysia, have you gained weight?"

　　"......"

　　Elysia's smiling expression froze.

　　"puff!!!"

　　Kiana was drinking juice and it spurted out.

　　Bronya was stunned for a moment, then looked like she was having fun.

　　Mei widened her eyes and looked at him, opening her mouth, not knowing whether to say something.

　　Sirin was also silenced by this sentence, and looked at Minamiya Yu with eyes full of pity.

　　"Hehe, Ely didn't quite understand what Ayu just said."

　　With her fingertips lightly lifting the hair on the side of her forehead, Ely's indifferent eyes became threatening.

　　As a cute girl who weighs 54.8 kg (not rounded off), Ely would never admit that she has gained weight.

　　Minamiya Yu realized that she had said something wrong and quickly smiled: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Sister Ely is so beautiful, how could she gain weight?"

　　"Yes, yes, Ely is so cute, how could she get fat? Ayu, please don't talk nonsense."

　　Good brother Kiana immediately helped out and said something, and Minamiya Yu immediately gave her a moved look.

　　"It may just be a slip of the tongue, don't take it seriously, Elysia."

　　Mei also eased the atmosphere.

　　"Yes, yes, Yu just said what was in his heart accidentally, Sister Ely, please don't take it seriously."

　　Ely's expression had been gradually improving, but it immediately darkened again after hearing these words.

　　Minamiya Yu turned around suddenly and saw Bronya giggling behind him.

　　Bronya, you plotted against me!

　　Unfortunately, before he could go and cause trouble for Bronya, Elysia's slender hand was already on his shoulder.

　　"Ayu~"

　　The faint voice coming from his ears made him suddenly nervous.

　　"Sister Elysia, I'm here."

　　"Can you play a game with me?"

　　"...Can I refuse?"

　　"Hmm, guess?"

　　......

　　More than ten minutes later, Minamiya Yu was buried in the sand, with only his head exposed. Next to him was the big watermelon he had just taken.

　　“Left, left!!”

　　"No, no, it's on the right!!"

　　Ely covered her eyes with a cloth and turned around a few times from 20 meters away. Then, following the sound, she walked towards Minamiya Yu step by step, holding a long wooden sword in her hand that was kindly provided by Mei.

　　Kiana, Sirin and Bronya stood aside, happily pointing the direction for Ely.

　　Looking at Kiana who kept pointing him in the direction, Minamiya Yu sighed silently. He thought she was a good brother, but he didn't expect that he was wrong in the end.

　　Soon, Ely approached Minamiya Yu little by little, and the wooden sword in her hand began to hesitate on the head and watermelon shell.

　　He raised his head with great effort, but the trembling towering object blocked his view, preventing him from seeing Elysia's expression.

　　After a while, Elysia finally made up her mind.

　　The wooden sword was also standing straight above Minamiya Yu's head.

　　Seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly, then closed his eyes and wait for death.

　　I don't think Elysia would be too harsh.

　　As she was thinking this, she heard a sharp sound of wind. Elysia clenched her hands and waved her arms vigorously below.

　　Just as Minamiya Yu was waiting for the pain to come, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It had been so long, why hadn't the pain been gone yet?

　　He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a brown wooden sword only a few centimeters away from his head. Elysia was looking down at him with a happy smile on her face after her prank had succeeded.

　　"Boom~"

　　Their eyes met, Ely uttered an onomatopeia playfully, and then wooden sword gently tapped him on the head.

　　"Well, I didn't hit the watermelon. Looks like I lost."

　　Throwing the wooden sword aside, Elysia knelt on the sand with a "whoosh", bent down and gently helped him clean the little bit of sand on his face.

　　The sea breeze blew, and the long pink hair brushed across his cheeks, making him feel a little itchy.

　　Looking at that serious expression with a smile, feeling the touch of fingertips on his cheek and behind his ears, listening to the gentle voice of Ely in his ears, Minamiya Yu's eyes fixed and his heartbeat gradually began to accelerate.

　　Hiccup~

　　Kiana clearly didn't eat anything, but she felt full. Beside her, Bronya's originally happy smile slowly disappeared, and she watched the scene in silence.

Chapter 446: The Rebellious Girl from Kyoto

While Akimoto was imparting his experience with his wife to Nanaya, many reporters and media were still arriving one after another.

After these people produced relevant documents and had their identities confirmed, they were invited by Trier's operations staff to sit in the media seats.

However, more reporters were stopped outside the Washimine Building. These people were crowded outside the door of the building, all wanting to go inside to see their families.

Unfortunately, all the media that were not invited by Washimine were turned away by the building security personnel.

After all, Trier is the most important and only female idol group under Washimine Entertainment, and not just anyone can come in for an interview.

This is when the advantages of Washimine's large company came into play. No matter what the identity of the reporters was, they did not have the courage to break into Washimine's company building.

As for those reporters who tried to use various means, even sneaking into the building from the underground garage, they were all asked to leave by the building staff.

People are always like this. The more you don't want me to see, the more I want to see.

In particular, some well-informed people have heard that two young ladies involved in scandals, Ryougi Ori and Ryan Wettin, appeared at the venue.

So, how could these paparazzi who felt they had smelled big news just give up because of the security personnel's obstruction?

So these reporters not only did not give up and leave, but kept peeking at the door.

The actions of the media reporters naturally affected the girls who came to participate in the member selection.

Although they all had dreams of becoming stars, the crazy presence of the reporters scared these young girls who were not well-versed in the world.

Many younger girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some were so shy that they hid in their family members' arms and refused to come out.

Of course, there are also people who are born to adapt to such big scenes. Seeing so many reporters, they are not afraid but think this is a great opportunity for them to show their talents.

The 16-year-old Kujo Fuu is such a person. Although it was her first time to visit the Washimine Tokyo headquarters building, she didn't care about these reporters at all.

He even looked with great interest at the modern-style building in front of him with a transparent glass curtain wall as its exterior.

"Hehe, is this the starting point for me to become famous in the future?" Kujo Fuu was sitting in the car, looking out the window and laughing.

The black Toyota carrying the girl drove directly to the downstairs of the Washimine Building in a very domineering manner.

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a suit and white gloves, walked out of the car.

He walked to the back of the car, opened the door handle of the back seat, and said respectfully to the door: "Miss, please."

"Thanks, Uncle Sakura!"

The girl who was originally laughing immediately straightened her manners, put on a standard young lady smile, and slowly walked down from the back seat of the car.

The girl has a sweet appearance and is wearing a plain white dress. Both her demeanor and her attire make it clear at a glance that she is the daughter of a wealthy family.

The most eye-catching thing about the girl is her long, smooth, bright red hair.

But for some reason, she didn't have straight hair as suited her status, but tied it into a single ponytail.

"Haha, there are quite a lot of people here~"

Kujo Fuu spoke in a tone that was totally inappropriate for her status, and even a little frivolous.

"Miss……"

The middle-aged man's face wrinkled when he heard the tone of his eldest daughter's voice.

"I know, manners, manners."

Kujo Fuu waved her hands in boredom. She hated this kind of thing the most.

The middle-aged man's face revealed a tangled and conflicted expression.

Although it was not the first time, he still felt unnatural with his own eldest daughter.

I don’t know how unfortunate the Kujo family is to have such an incompatible heir.

While other young ladies were sitting upright in their Japanese-style rooms learning flower arrangement, this young lady liked to ride a Harley motorcycle and be a biker in the suburbs of Tokyo.

If it wasn't for the idol audition today, Kujo Fuu would never have been able to wear this inconvenient outfit.

Casual clothes and jeans are her favorite.

[I hope I can be selected successfully this time. It would be great if being an idol can help me to concentrate. ]

It's a bit helpless that my daughter likes idols, but being an idol is better than continuing to be a biker.

Logically speaking, as an old noble family, the Kujo family would never let their children become idols.

If you really want to make it in the entertainment industry, you should at least start with one of the four major agencies.

But Kujo Fuu just likes her idol, and the old man of the Kujo family is helpless.

Fortunately, Trier made by Washimine is currently popular all over the world, so it is not shameful for Kujo Fuu to do this.

More importantly, the huge Washimine can also block a lot of right and wrong.

[This is all for the young lady, this is all for the family. ]

The middle-aged man whom Kujo Feng called Uncle Sakura kept hypnotizing himself like this.

But the lady he was talking about was already walking towards the Washimine Building with the briefcase in her hand.

"Just send it here, Uncle Sakura." Kujo Feng waved goodbye to Sakura.

"Well, Miss..."

Sakura wanted to remind him of something else, but Kujo Fuu had already disappeared from his sight.

"How could I possibly stay and listen to you nagging?"

Kujo Fuu stuck out her tongue, straightened her clothes a little, and came to the entrance.

She had noticed in the car just now that many girls who came to attend the final review like her were queuing up quietly there.

At the front of the line of girls, Trier staff were verifying the girls' identities and then letting them in.

No one spoke, and the girls looked at each other with curiosity and a hint of hostility.

After all, everyone present is his competitor, and they are all trying to steal each other's jobs.

Kujo Fuu has seen a lot of gossip on the [Erque Studio] section of 2CH.

Someone has revealed that Trier is not AKB, and they have no intention of forming a large team of dozens of people.

So even though this is Trier's largest freshman selection in history, not many people will be admitted in the end.

Although news on the Internet is always true and false, that [Tono Family Bulldozer] is a well-known uncle party in the forum and he rarely gets slapped in the face.

Therefore, what he said is still very credible.

Under such circumstances, the girls naturally remained vigilant and careful with each other.

However, this situation seemed too naive to several Washimine Entertainment staff members.

Several people who have auditioned for the Fate series know very well what the situation is in Hollywood.

Those girls who auditioned at the time were so careful even when drinking water.

If the bottle is out of sight for one second, he will never take a second sip.

During the entire entry process, there were cameras filming the girls from beginning to end.

Because they did not have the qualifications to interview, these peripheral reporters could only use this method to record every girl who came to participate in the election.

Many girls seemed very nervous, but Kujo Fuu didn't feel anything special.

If there is any feeling, it is that my whole body is filled with a faint excitement.

After all, this young lady had even been a member of a biker gang, so this little scene was far inferior to guerrilla warfare with the police.

When it was his turn, Kujo Fuu handed his documents to the staff: "Hello, this is my document."

A serious-looking staff member took the file bag from the girl, opened it, carefully checked the other party's materials, and finally compared the photos with her for a long time.

"Is it the 16-year-old Kujo Fuu from Kyoto?"

"Yes, it's me." Kujo Fuu nodded impatiently.

"Come in, go to waiting room number 4."

The staff member returned the documents to the girl and signaled that she could go in.

Kujo Fuu originally planned to leave directly, but after taking two steps, she thought of something.

Then she turned around and nodded to the staff to express her gratitude before walking into the venue.

There is still some time before the actual selection, but there are already quite a few people in the waiting room.

After Kujo Fuu opened the door of waiting room No. 4 assigned to him, he found that there were already three other girls inside.

However, due to the competition between them and the tension before the final trial.

The girls just nodded slightly and didn't even bother to say hello.

Kujo Fuu had no intention of making friends with these girls, so she just found a chair and sat down.

Then he took out his mobile phone and browsed social media while waiting for the final trial to begin.

[Where should I go for a race tonight? Akina Mountain is a bit far from Tokyo...]

——————————————————————————————————————

On the other hand, at the final review venue, Washimine had finally completed the preparations and was planning to officially start the final review.

However, the seating order at this time is different from the previous one.

Yumi and Rin, representatives of Trier, sat on the far right. They were there to watch.

Sitting on the left is Trier's operations staff, but from his drowsy appearance it can be seen that he is just here for fun.

The two people who originally sat together and had the real say - Kiryu Nanaya and Akimoto Yasushi - now separated.

Akimoto sat in the seat next to Lin so that he could explain his views on player selection to the captain of Trier later - this was a special favor that Nanaya had asked Akimoto to give to Rin.

And Nanaya, who was sitting in the middle, had Ryougi Shiki and Ryan Wettin sitting on his left and right.

Seeing this seating arrangement, all the reporters present were excited and surprised.

What’s exciting is that they never thought they could capture such a shot before they came; what’s strange is, is our billionaire director going to broadcast the Shura Field live?

Chapter 56: High Attack and Low Defense is like this

　　"Can I call you Mei? You can call me Ely."

　　"Of course, Elysia."

　　Mei sat on the chair and responded gently.

　　After talking to Sirin and Kiana, Ely turned her attention to Mei who was smiling quietly at the side. She was not as excited as Sirin when she saw her idol, nor was she as crazy as Kiana when she saw a beautiful girl. She just sat there quietly, looking at everyone with a smile.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Seeing that Ely was staring at her, Mei asked with some confusion.

　　"Nothing, I just feel that we can become very good friends."

　　Hearing this, Mei tilted her head and then smiled: "What a coincidence, I think I have the same premonition."

　　"What about me? What about me?"

　　Kiana came over not to be outdone, along with Sirin who looked expectant.

　　"We are already friends, right? I like you all very much."

　　In a few minutes, Ely became the center of the small circle. She was still like this, so eye-catching that everyone would unconsciously focus their eyes on her.

　　Bronya, who was observing from afar, sighed secretly. There was no way she could win.

　　Unless she can really bring Seele along...

　　When I came to my senses, everyone had already started eating breakfast. I didn't know if Ely was being abused here, but when I ate the meal made by Seele and Mei, I was almost moved to tears.

　　"Finally, I don't have to eat those French fries and vegetables anymore, woooooo..."

　　At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that this place seemed to be a gathering place for dark cuisine. The dish "Looking Up at the Stars" was too famous. Suddenly, everyone looked at Elysia with pity.

　　"Then why don't you live in another country, like ours? It's closer and you can go to Ayu's house for dinner every day."

　　Kiana's casual remark caused Bronya to gasp.

　　She felt she couldn't win even though the distance was so far. If Elysia still lived with them, she might as well just raise the white flag and surrender.

　　"Well, even if you're a fairy lady, you still have all kinds of troubles to deal with."

　　For example, the orphanage where she grew up, and the various affairs here. Besides, Ayu hasn't graduated from high school yet, so they can't get the marriage certificate. She is not in a hurry.

　　This also made Bronya, who was listening silently, feel relieved.

　　"I see. The adult world is really troublesome."

　　With a sigh, Kiana buried her face in her rice bowl again.

　　The minute hand of the clock on the wall quickly turned another circle, and Kiana's painful screams were heard in the living room. It was obvious that it was time to apply sunscreen again.

　　Minamiya Yu looked at Seele and Bronya. Just as Bronya was about to turn her head away in anger, she noticed Seele coming closer expectantly, which made her frown.

　　Seele, Seele, where is your backbone? !

　　Then, Ely also came over excitedly with a bottle of sunscreen, and even started chatting and laughing with Seele.

　　Not only is he spineless, she is actually a traitor? ! ! !

　　Seeing this, Bronya didn't know whether to leave or stay. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and walk towards Minamiya Yu.

　　Now that things have come to this, you might as well enjoy yourself.

　　Unlike yesterday, today I was in the living room, so I just simply applied it on my back.

　　But even so, when Minamiya Yu placed his hands on Ely's fair back, her irrepressible and seductive moan made Minamiya Yu tremble all over.

　　Sister, this is in the living room, everyone is watching!

　　Fortunately, Ely still cared about her image as a beautiful girl. After shouting like that, she buried her face in the sofa and said nothing.

　　Unlike the previous times when she always had the dominant position on top, this time Ely was "below" Minamiya Yu. The unique stimulation of being pressed under him and unable to resist made her unable to hold back and let out a sound.

　　When they got to the beach, Minamiya Yu racked his brains to praise everyone's swimsuits again, and finally got the right to rest on a beach chair.

　　He just lay on the chair, drinking cold juice, feeling the coolness brought by the sea breeze, with the parasol protecting him from the scorching sun. Seele stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders, and asked softly in his ear if he was comfortable.

　　Suddenly, my heart was filled with satisfaction.

　　This is life, this is enjoyment.

　　After taking another sip of juice, Minamiya Yu followed the bouncing ball on the volleyball court.

　　As expected of Ely, no matter the amplitude of the bounce or the degree of the surge, she easily crushed several young girls.

　　Having said that, looking at Elysia who has already joined in and is laughing happily, does this guy really not intend to cause any trouble?

　　Even his phone call was hung up yesterday, and Minamiya Yu thought Ely was preparing for a big event.

　　It seems that I can really put my mind at ease...hiss!!

　　The pain in his shoulder made him inhale sharply, and some of the juice in his hand spilled onto the beach.

　　"Se, Seele?"

　　He turned his head with some confusion, only to be met with a pair of 'kind' eyes.

　　"Forget about looking at Seele. Brother, you seem to be having a lot of fun looking at those women."

　　He immediately understood that Seele's inner self had been replaced.

　　Although those eyes were still sky blue, Minamiya Yu seemed to see a flash of scarlet light.

　　"Aren't we watching their volleyball game?"

　　"You're best at volleyball."

　　Crossing her arms, Seele said with disdain.

　　"Okay, okay, I won't watch it anymore. I'll just watch Seele from now on. Is that okay?"

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu reached out and grabbed Seele's arm, then gently pulled her into his arms.

　　Then he just held her in his arms and looked straight into her eyes with gentle eyes.

　　Soon, the proud attitude on Seele's face melted away, and she blushed and turned her head away awkwardly: "You, don't keep staring at me... stare at Seele."

　　"That won't do. I like Seele the most, of course..."

　　At this time, Minamiya Yu leaned close to Seele's ear and said with a smile: "Of course, this also includes you, Seele~"

　　"!!!"

　　Black Seele turned his head suddenly and looked at Minamiya Yu with a red face, as if she was shocked by what he said.

　　"You, I... um..."

　　The shy posture of breaking defense was too tempting, and Minamiya Yu couldn't help but hold the moist and soft cherry in his mouth.

　　I saw Black Seele's eyes gradually become blurred, and her resisting hands turned into submissive embrace.

　　When the feeling of suffocation came, the two gradually separated. Seele lay limply on her brother's body, gasping for breath. Her eyes regained their clarity and liveliness, and her brows became soft.

　　Black Seele ran away.

　　"Seele, you are not behaving well."

　　Holding the smooth waist with one hand and gently fiddling with the panting lips with the other hand, Minamiya Yu said teasingly.

　　"You obviously guessed that I knew about the other Seele, but you never told her. You are such a bad girl."

　　Suddenly, Seele's expression froze for a moment, and soon her cute little face turned bitter: "Brother, it's all your fault. The other me doesn't care about Seele anymore."

Chapter 445: Choosing a Marriage Partner

Ryan and Shiki's participation in the selection has nothing to do with Nanaya, they were arranged by Shion.

What Shion meant was that the New Year's scandal was known to everyone.

Having Ryan and Shiki appear as honorary judges would be a good opportunity to increase the topic.

As for why it was Shiki and not Ori, it was naturally because Ryougi Ori and Nanaya had already gone to North America to reshoot some scenes of FZ, and they were not in Japan at all.

Of course, as long as Shiki doesn't reveal her foodie nature, there's no problem in cosplaying as her own younger brother.

She had a record of impersonating Ori in order to have a good meal.

But Nanaya felt that the biggest reason why Shion did this was not to gain popularity, but to be on guard against others.

Yes, the biggest role of these two is to defend against people.

What we are trying to guard against are those people who have ulterior motives and do not take part in the selection seriously.

Don't think this is a joke, there are not only those girls who are eyeing the fat piece of meat Nanaya.

There are still countless people queuing up outside, and Nanaya has been in the United States recently, so everyone doesn’t have much chance.

If female celebrities in the entertainment industry were asked to choose their ideal marriage partner, their first choice would definitely be the powerful figures in major agencies and TV stations.

For example, Sayuri Yoshinaga, the "national treasure-level film queen" from the Yoshinaga Murasaki family, married Taro Okada, a TV drama producer from Fuji TV.

The reason is simple. These people not only have a lot of money, but also abundant resources.

Being able to marry these men means endless wealth and glory, and at the same time you can avoid all the explicit and implicit rules of the entertainment industry.

It has been of great help to my career.

The next best option for these women is mid-level employees at Dentsu.

It has been said before that Dentsu is the big brother in the Japanese entertainment circle, and the other Lin Baos are just younger brothers in front of Dentsu.

Only Sony and Washimine, which are developing globally, do not have to worry about Dentsu's attitude, but their attitude towards Dentsu in the Japanese market is mainly cooperative.

The middle-level managers of Dentsu are elites who have risen from the grassroots level of Dentsu. They have a lot of resources in their hands. It is hard to say how much power they have, but they have no problem supporting their wives.

Moreover, because most of these middle-level managers have worked overtime in their early years, they have not started a family, which is the best opportunity for these female stars to take advantage of the situation.

Further down are male artists and celebrities, such as big-name comedians, famous actors and the like.

Although it is also a high-quality stock, it is slightly inferior to the first two.

What?

Are you talking about Dentsu's grassroots employees?

Not to mention whether these poor office workers have time to fall in love and get married, what if he dies suddenly from working overtime one day?

For an average housewife, the sudden death of her husband might be a good thing. After all, Dentsu's pension is very generous.

But for those female artists who hope to make it big in the entertainment industry, it would be very troublesome without the help of their husbands.

Moreover, the value of a female celebrity’s second marriage would plummet, so this deal is not cost-effective.

Only young artists, or people like Yumi-chan's mother who deliberately want their child to become a child star, would take this gamble.

If we classify Kiryu Nanaya, he can probably be classified into the first category, and a particularly enhanced version.

Not to mention that his current net worth is already several hundred million US dollars. If Shion successfully acquires [Erque], his net worth may even exceed 1 billion US dollars.

This amount of money would be very attractive to any other woman except a billionaire like Shion, okay!

Not to mention the resources he has.

For a film project that will be released on a large scale in North America, you won’t be able to find another director in Japan other than Nanaya who has the resources to produce such a project.

For those who aspire to become big stars, Nanaya Kiryu is a perfect match.

Even if you can't be my wife, being my lover is great.

If all else fails, find a way to get someone to have sex.

The requirements are not high, it should be okay to just be a minor role in a fate project, right?

Given Kiryu Nanaya's reputation for being nostalgic in the industry, it would be a shame if she had done something like that.

So Shion was also very distressed. She was afraid that her man's inexplicable reasons would affect the recruitment of new members.

The existing girls are annoying enough. What if we recruit a bunch of women who come here because of that man?

What if the team members don’t think about being idols all day long and their minds are full of business?

Wouldn't Trier be in chaos?

Don’t say Nanaya can’t.

Although Nanaya would definitely not take the initiative to seduce, it is hard to say what would happen if a woman really got close to him.

If the situation really came to that, there was no way Nanaya could control his lower body.

Especially since her first time with Nanaya was spent in the car, Shion doubted the tightness of her man's zipper.

So Shion directly threw Shiki out as Ori's Shadow Dancer.

The meaning is obvious.

If you want to get a bite of the fat piece of meat of the Kiryu family, you must first get past Ryougi Ori.

Even if this cannot be completely eliminated, at least it can prevent those little vixens from causing trouble during the final selection.

Once I join the Trier team, won’t I, Shion Washimine, have the final say over those women?

Do you know Tohsaka Rin and Shimoya Sakura?

Whether they can stay in the same bed with a man is entirely up to me.

You little vixens want to cause trouble in the team?

It seems to me that you want to eat peaches!

As for why Ryan is here too.

Then it can only be said that it is Lily's fault.

After learning that Shiki would represent her at a media event, Lily immediately sent an email to her sister.

Lily said in the email that today is the selection of new members for Trier, and Ryougi Shiki will go to watch.

In order to give everyone the illusion that you are still competing with the other party for Kiryu-brother, you have to participate too.

Fortunately, Lily is currently in North America filming a movie, otherwise she would definitely be hung up and beaten by Ryan.

What do you think of your sister?

A stand-in prop?

But even though Ryan was very angry, she still came to the scene for her sister's love.

However, Ryan's expression was not very good. From the moment he sat down until now, he had a stern face and did not want to talk.

"Be happy~"

Shiki had a smiling face and even waved to the reporters from time to time.

"There's no need." Ryan said calmly, "Although we are all shields, we don't satisfy those people's fetishes."

Shiki was quite open-minded: "People's busy lives need gossip to support them. I thought you, who were born in the UK, would care less about such things."

British paparazzi are world-famous, and journalists all over the world learn from them.

To be honest, even Hollywood gossip reporters are their disciples.

"Anyway, I've never had a good impression of them. They have the habit of digging into people's privacy and making them lack private space. Don't you think so?"

Ryan said with a frown, she seemed unhappy with the reporters.

"Anyway, no matter how my reputation is damaged, it's Ori's reputation that will be damaged in the end. Anyway, I'm innocent. Hahaha~"

Ryougi Shiki laughed wildly.

Miss Ryougi is fearless as she has a substitute to protect her from harm.

But her smug expression and Ryan's frowning silence were recorded by the reporters.

"Ryougi Ori is sure to win, and Ryan Wettin will be in danger of being eliminated. This will be the headline of tomorrow's entertainment section."

A reporter was taking notes frantically in a notebook.

The laughter not only attracted the interest of the reporters, but also attracted Nanaya's attention.

"What is that girl laughing at?" Nanaya frowned slightly. The two parties were seated quite far away from each other, so he couldn't hear clearly.

"Why? Director Kiryu is worried that the two of them will fight?"

Yasushi Akimoto glanced at the director beside him and smiled meaningfully.

Although Yasushi really looks like a fat otaku, he was a well-known playboy when he was young.

Why did the Kitten Club collapse overnight?

Isn’t it because the management represented by Yasushi took action against the idols?

You should know that in Fuji TV, gossips between Yasushi and various female anchors are still circulating.

In other words, Yasushi is old now and his body can’t take it anymore.

In addition, he has already started a family and even has a daughter.

That's why Yasushi gradually gave up the idea of messing around.

However, although Yasushi himself no longer has any ideas, it does not mean that his vision has deteriorated.

Even though he had only been in Trier for a few days, he had already seen through the relationship between Nanaya and these girls.

Of course, Yasushi wouldn't be stupid enough to come out and point out such things.

And as a person who has been through this, he really doesn't think it's a big deal for Nanaya to play with a few little idols.

Instead, I feel like I have found a like-minded person and that my romantic career will have someone to carry on.

【It’s great to be young...】

Nanaya noticed Akimoto Yasushi's gaze towards him, and he believed that the fat man in front of him must be thinking about something else.

"Teacher Akimoto Yasushi, what's wrong with you?"

Nanaya originally thought that the other party would be polite, but unexpectedly, Yasushi suddenly said to Nanaya, "Actually, compared to that British noble lady, I support Ryougi Ori more."

"What?"

Nanaya looked confused. He didn't expect the other party to say this to him.

"Director Kiryu, I just mentioned it casually." Yasushi said with the tone of a person who has experienced it, "Western women look good, but when it comes to being virtuous and managing the household, I think Japanese women are more suitable to be wives."

“…”

Nanaya didn't expect that Yasushi was actually analyzing it for him seriously.

Yasushi didn't pay attention to Nanaya's expression and continued, "Actually, Miss Shion is not bad, but the gap between your two identities is too big. Even if you are a well-known director, you are still a little bit inferior to the Washimine family. Marrying into a big family will make life very difficult."

“…”

The expression on Nanaya's face became very conflicted, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

"Thank you for your advice, it is very useful to me."

"Well, just figure it out yourself."

Akimoto Yasushi nodded with satisfaction. As an elder, he was happy to pass on his life experience to this rising star in the Japanese entertainment industry.

But Yasushi didn't notice that when Nanaya turned his face away, his facial features were all twisted into a knot, and he looked as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

Chapter 55 The Real Boss

　　After much difficulty in satisfying Elysia, Ely and Minamiya Yu, who smelled like Ely, finally walked out of the room.

　　As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Seele who was frightened by Kiana's words and rushed over.

　　"Ah It's Seele, long time no see, let me hug you"

　　When Seele saw that she was still a little dazed, Ely happily hugged her and rubbed her soft cheek happily.

　　"Long time no see, Seele is really getting cuter and cuter~"

　　"Sister Elysia?"

　　Following closely behind was Bronya, who frowned immediately after seeing the pink hair.

　　Why is this woman here?

　　At this moment, she noticed Seele's look of help when she turned her head, and immediately took a step forward.

　　But just as she was about to say something, Elysia stretched out her free hand and hugged her and Seele together.

　　"Wow, although I heard from Ayu that you have changed a lot, I didn't expect that you have become such a beautiful girl now~"

　　"Don't hug me..."

　　Bronya, who was suddenly hugged, whispered something, but like Seele, she did not struggle to break free.

　　Although they did regard Elysia as her and Seele's number one enemy, other than that, the two of them just couldn't hate this person at all.

　　"Hey, don't be shy. Doesn't this action very friendly?"

　　Not long after, Ely let go of the two of them, took a step back and continued to carefully observe the growth of Seele and Bronya, nodding happily from time to time.

　　"It turns out to be an acquaintance. I was shocked."

　　Downstairs, Kiana watched the pink-haired woman happily hugging Seele and Bronya, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Sirin beside her looked at her somewhat nervous sister with a strange expression.

　　It's obvious that Seele and Bronya are interested in that guy Yu. Now they see other women coming out of his room together. Is this really okay?

　　At this time, Ely also noticed the three people downstairs who were looking up at what was happening upstairs, and she was immediately surprised: "Wow, so many cute girls, is this heaven?!"

　　Then, she turned her head to look at Ayu, then glanced at Seele and Bronya, as if to get confirmation: "Can I go and talk to them?"

　　"Go ahead, but remember not to scare them by being too enthusiastic."

　　After getting the affirmation, Elysia immediately walked downstairs happily, and Bronya and Seele finally waited for some time to be alone with Minamiya Yu.

　　Bronya took a step forward, looked at Minamiya Yu intently and asked, "Why is she here?"

　　"To be honest, I don't know either."

　　Spreading his hands, Minamiya Yu responded helplessly.

　　I was woken up by Ely's facial cleanser early in the morning. It was comfortable, but I was also confused.

　　"Then how did Sister Ely get in?" Seele asked in confusion.

　　"Who else do you think could get the key to this place besides us?"

　　He raised an eyebrow at the two of them and gave a hint.

　　"Cocolia's mom?!"

　　The two of them said it almost in unison, and then looked at each other, both seeing the helpless look in each other's eyes, which was the same as Minamiya Yu's.

　　It's really unbelievable that the mother of the family actually stabbed her own daughter in the back.

　　"You didn't do anything just now?"

　　"I just woke up a few minutes ago. Bronya, you are a little bit contemptuous of me."

　　Facing Bronya's suspicious look, Minamiya Yu felt both indignant and angry.

　　"Who asked you that?"

　　Although Bronya is quite interested in this question, is this the right time to talk about it? !

　　"A few minutes is definitely not enough..."

　　Seele muttered subconsciously, and then noticed the even more puzzled look from sister Bronya.

　　Suddenly, Seele came to her senses and ran away with a red face.

　　"Se, Seele, it's time to make breakfast!"

　　Isn’t breakfast ready?

　　Looking at Seele's quickly disappearing back, Bronya was completely confused.

　　Seele's voice was too soft just now and she didn't hear it clearly. She wanted to ask what Seele said.

　　"Alright, alright, isn't it just Sister Elysia who's here? It's just a good opportunity for us to play together. It's more lively with more people. Looking at your appearance, someone who doesn't know would think she's going to eat me."

　　I wanted to make a joke, but Bronya nodded seriously.

　　She was really worried that Yu would be eaten by that pink-haired girl. Anyone who had come into contact with her would understand how terrifying that girl named Elysia was.

　　When she transformed her love for everyone into love for just one person, Bronya felt that no one could refuse her, regardless of gender.

　　If love is compared to an RPG game, the previous fiancée is just a small boss in an ordinary level, but Elysia is definitely the hidden big boss behind the scenes.

　　If you just want to pass the level, then of course there is no need to touch the hidden boss's beard, but if you really want to pass the level and stand at the top, then this boss will be a problem that cannot be avoided.

　　At least now, Bronya has no confidence in fighting against the boss.

　　Downstairs, Ely quickly integrated into the small circle of three people and started chatting with everyone with great interest.

　　"My name is Elysia. As you can see, I am a beautiful girl who lives up to my name~"

　　"My friends all call me Ely, you guys should call me that too, it sounds cute, like me."

　　Such a narcissistic self-introduction did not arouse anyone's disgust. Looking at that sweet smile, everyone took it for granted, as if she should be like this.

　　"Elysia...wait, you're not that!!!"

　　Sirin felt that Elysia looked familiar from the beginning. When she got closer, she realized that she was the pink fairy lady on the Destiny blog! !

　　"Hmm? Are you talking about Miss Pink Fairy? That is indeed my account."

　　"Really? Fairy-chan... No, that's not right. It's Elysia. Elysia, can you give me an autograph?!!"

　　Sirin excitedly rummaged through her bag and soon pulled out a piece of paper and a marker.

　　"Yeah~ Of course you can. It's an honor for Miss Fairy to sign for a cute girl like you, Sirin."

　　"No, no, no, I'm the one who's honored!"

　　As she spoke, Sirin excitedly handed the paper and pen to Ely.

　　Ely also wrote her name on it and then added a cute heart at the back.

　　After Sirin received the signature, she was immediately overjoyed.

　　I am already a fan of Miss Fairy, and I can show this thing to those bastards in the live broadcast room, making them call me pufferfish all day long, making them envy me to death!

Chapter 444: Damn Love

On January 25, the Washimine Tokyo headquarters building was bustling with people.

As a former big shot in the gaming industry, he saved the entire industry after the Atari incident.

Washimine has never been short of news, and reporters often stay nearby trying to find some clues to make a big news.

Especially in recent years, after Washimine began to get involved in the entertainment industry, reporters have paid more attention to this company.

Many gossip magazine reporters would wait outside the Washimine Building in order to get first-hand information about Washimine Entertainment.

Because Washimine was the first Japanese company to enter the North American entertainment market with itself as the center, this title alone was enough to drive reporters crazy.

Although Sony also entered the North American market, it did so through the acquisition of Columbia.

Columbia is basically an independent company except for the Sony name in front of it.

It was only in the past two years, after Sir Stringer, who was born in Columbia, became the CEO of Sony, that Columbia began to have close ties with its parent company Sony.

But how can this compare to Washimine?

Washimine entered the North American market by relying on movies he directed, which is very different from Sony, which took the acquisition route.

Ever since Japan was fleeced by its big brother, the United States, in the last century, it can be said that it has a love-hate relationship with the United States.

The Japanese media is still very concerned about companies like Washimine that are capable of forging ahead with determination.

But no matter how lively it is on other days, it can never be as lively as today.

After all, usually there are only seven or eight reporters at most. It’s not like today, when a large number of media reporters and staff gathered in the conference hall on the first floor.

The reason why there are so many reporters is naturally because of a big news recently made by Washimine Entertainment.

Because today is the final day for the selection of new members for Trier, a well-known idol group under Washimine.

If it was a normal selection of members for a girl idol group, the media might not be so enthusiastic.

After all, female idols are like foot-washing maids in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Most journalists usually have only one initial reaction to this kind of news.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find news about celebrities coming out?

Why write about a female idol that no one reads?

It’s not like some unscrupulous idol producer turned his idol group into his own harem group.

Is the selection of new members considered as some piece of news?

But Trier is different. This team has created too many miracles.

The things this group experienced and the miracles they created after collaborating with the famous director Nanaya Kiryu can really make everyone exclaim.

Is this still the girl idol group we know?

From Luvia, who first became famous with "Goblin Slayer" and went straight to Hollywood after graduation; to Lily Wetting, who became a world-renowned star with the popularity of the Fate series.

In the eyes of outsiders, this group is no longer an ordinary idol group, but a royal road to becoming a world star.

The popularity of Trier also led to another explosion and popularity of Japanese girl idols.

Not to mention AKB48 produced by Yasushi Akimoto, local idol groups that had originally disappeared are also beginning to rise again.

Whether it is the producers of idol groups or the girls who become idols, they are all working hard for the illusory dream of becoming the next Trier.

This shows how attractive the name Trier is.

But what makes people very resentful is that Trier rarely accepts new members.

The last time a new member joined the team was Lily Wetting. At that time, in order to replace Luvia who had fled to the United States, Lily joined Trier as a "noble girl from the UK."

The next time was when Yumi Sakutsuki joined to fill the number of members.

The former was too purposeful when recruiting, and ordinary girls were simply unable to participate.

The latter is simply a direct internal decision, so it’s useless even if you have any ideas.

So all along, in addition to those girls who want to become Trier members, even the media and Trier's own fans hope that Trier can recruit new people.

The media wanted to make a big news, while Trier's fans wanted to find the new push in the team.

There is nothing strange about this, as many idol fans have strong cultivation attributes.

They enjoyed the feeling of accompanying a penniless little idol on his way to stardom.

So after the idol that their original fans liked becomes a big star, they will turn to promote another new idol.

There are quite a few people like this, otherwise idol development games wouldn’t have been so popular, such as “The Money Scammer” and “LL Dafa”…

However, Trier has not started selecting new members, which makes these fans feel uncomfortable.

All the old members have been pushed forward, and there is a lack of new faces, but it is a bit reluctant to give up Trier.

After all, we are used to seeing the beauties in Trier, and the leaders of other idol groups are all ugly.

It can be said that this time Trier’s announcement of recruiting new members met the requirements of countless people.

This is why, although it has been less than a month since the announcement of the news to the final election, it has already attracted the attention of countless people.

Of course, this also includes the attention of Trier members themselves.

"Ugh... I'm so nervous."

Yumi-chan in the corner looked at so many reporters and felt a little scared.

"It's not bad. Compared to our previous Fate premieres, there are still fewer people here."

Rin didn't care. She shook her hair and said confidently.

Yumi-chan looked at Rin with admiration: "Oh, as expected, Rin-sister, you are so handsome."

"Where, where."

Rin touched her nose embarrassedly, a gesture she learned from her man.

"Wait a minute, isn't that right?" Rin suddenly thought of something, "Didn't you, little girl, also attend the premiere of Fate?"

"Well... because they're all speaking English, I can't understand." Yumi stuck out her tongue.

Rin held her forehead helplessly: "Um... I say, Yumi-chan, you should at least practice your English. As an international idol group, you must speak English well."

"But I'm really not good at English~" Yumi-chan pouted, "I'm so busy with my idol work every day. It's hard to keep up with the homework. I don't have time to learn English."

Yumi wasn't lying, she wasn't a genius.

It is already difficult for her to keep up with her studies while working as an idol, and it is unrealistic to expect her to learn fluent English.

After all, human energy is limited.

Not to mention Yumi, the studies of the rest of the people in Trier are also a mess.

Sakura is fine. She is already in her early thirties and it doesn't matter whether she studies or not.

Rin could still barely keep up at first, but since she started starring in the Fate series, she gave up after struggling for a while.

Until now, this girl has not graduated because she has not completed all the credits.

Not to mention Lily, this girl gave up resisting from the first day she entered Tokyo University of the Arts.

Except for a few subjects that do not require exams or are related to the practical operation of film shooting, which may allow you to pass, other subjects either need to be retaken or are on the way to being retaken.

Luvia did get a doctorate, but it was only honorary.

That is, I got it through sponsorship.

There are people who can both study hard and be good idols or actors, but they are really rare.

Her own studies were also a mess, so Rin certainly couldn't say that it was easy to study and work at the same time.

But from a career perspective, Rin still has to give some advice.

Rin took the initiative to persuade her: "Yumi-chan, you can put other subjects aside for now, but you must not fall behind in English."

"Is that so?"

"As an idol, if you are really not good at studying, it's not a big problem for you to go to a communications high school. But you can't fall behind in English, which is an important skill for your future career as an artist."

"Eh? But English is difficult." Yumi-chan's little face was full of distress and grievance, "Sister Rin is bullying me?"

“No.”

Rin quickly denied it, "Trier is an international girl group, how can they not know English?"

"Besides, as the new generation of Trier's main force, you will definitely have the chance to be selected by Na... Kiryu-senpai to make some movies in the future."

"Hmm...making a movie with big brother?"

Yumi-chan clenched her little hands tightly. She seemed to have thought of some incredible scene and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Well, Yumi will try her best."

Yumi-chan swore to Rin with a fist.

But Rin was not very happy. When she saw the little girl's amorous feelings, she knew Yumi's real thoughts.

"Well, Yumi-chan, keep working on it."

Although he said this, Rin roared in his heart.

[Kiryu Nanaya! You damned romantic! ]

——————————————————————————————————————

"A-choo!"

A certain romantic director sneezed violently and looked around in confusion.

"Director Kiryu, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the director's strange look, Fatty Akimoto beside him asked with concern.

"Well, it feels like someone is saying bad things about me behind my back."

"is that so?"

"Ah, and the resentment is very strong."

The director scratched his messy hair and shrugged his shoulders with a lackluster look.

"But I didn't expect so many people to come today."

Looking at the reporters coming and going in the hall, Nanaya sighed.

"Who said Trier is so popular now? Even I am a little jealous."

Akimoto Yasushi laughed.

Nanaya's face was full of black lines: "Why do I feel like they are all here to laugh at me?"

Although many media reporters did come here for the final selection of Trier's new members, their attention was immediately focused on the judges' panel when they arrived.

To be precise, it was the two women with special identities on the right side of the judges' seats.

"Mr. Kiryu is really enviable. He has two such beautiful candidates for fiancée."

Looking at Ryan and Shiki in the distance, Akimoto teased.

Nanaya calmly replied with two words.

"hehe."

Chapter 54: Not good!

　　It's so hot, so stuffy, and it's hard to breathe...

　　Another morning, Minamiya Yu, who was about to wake up, suddenly began to struggle slightly because of discomfort. Soon, he found fresh air and his brows immediately relaxed.

　　"Hmm..."

　　Feeling the warmth still against his cheek, Minamiya Yu rubbed it gently, and immediately heard a cute exclamation in his ear, followed by two slender fingers pinching his face and pulling gently.

　　Minamiya Yu didn't care about this. Instead, he buried his head deeper, breathing in the sweet scent of milk.

　　However, when consciousness gradually became clear, Minamiya Yu discovered something was wrong.

　　Wait, when did Seele grow so big? Didn’t they only come here for two days?

　　Even if it was a genetic mutation, it couldn't grow so fast in two days, right?

　　His heart skipped a beat and he slowly opened his eyes.

　　Caught off guard, he was met with a pair of bright pink eyes. The bright morning light shining through the window made the eyes look as beautiful as crystal.

　　"Sister Ely..."

　　His expression was dull and his voice was a little dry.

　　"Hmm?~"

　　A flawless smile bloomed on her sweet face, and Ely winked at him cutely, with excitement and playfulness in her voice: "A new day, do you want to have a wonderful encounter with Sister Elysia?"

　　By now, Minamiya Yu has figured out the specific situation.

　　The room was indeed still his room, but there was inexplicably an Elysia on the bed.

　　She was wearing a light pink dress, and she was hugging him tenderly, smiling at him. What had made her breathless just now must have been the full-bodied evil that was about to burst out.

　　This is normal...bullshit!!

　　"How did you get here?"

　　"Really? You should answer the cute girl's question carefully."

　　Pouting in dissatisfaction, Elysia took out a bunch of keys.

　　“Dangdangdang, of course it’s the generous sponsorship from the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Cocolia~”

　　A smug smile appeared on her face, and then she said proudly: "Hehe, then the secret agent Miss Fairy successfully sneaked in without anyone noticing!"

　　"How is it? Isn't it amazing~"

　　"Yes, yes, Sister Ely, you are the best."

　　Minamiya Yu sighed secretly, he didn't expect that it was his own mother who betrayed her.

　　"Still being perfunctory, aren't you happy to see me, Ayu?"

　　Somewhat dissatisfied with Minamiya Yu's attitude, Ely puffed up her cheeks angrily and reached out to pinch his face again.

　　"I'm happy, but I still hope that you can be more normal next time you come, Sister Ely. Doing this is really bad for your heart, and..."

　　Minamiya Yu paused, then said seriously: "If I notice someone touching me in the middle of the night, and subconsciously fight back and hurt Sister Ely, that would be bad."

　　"AhAyu, are you caring about me? I'm so happy"

　　I wanted to make the atmosphere serious, but it was instantly broken by Elysia's response.

　　"Sister Ely, I... forget it, as long as you are happy."

　　Giving up the idea of ​​continuing to talk about this, Minamiya Yu noticed that the world outside the window was already bright, looked at Ely and said, "It's getting late, let's get up first."

　　"It's okay to get up."

　　As she spoke, Ely suddenly revealed an aggrieved expression: "But, because a bad boy ignored Miss Fairy for a whole day, Miss Fairy is now so sad that she can't move~"

　　"Didn't I explain the reason to you? And you also..."

　　He looked at Ely with some headache, but that cute and aggrieved look made Minamiya Yu feel full of guilt. If her fans saw this scene, they would probably want to tear him apart with their bare hands.

　　Elysia didn't say anything, but just hugged him even tighter, her stubborn little eyes looking like they were about to ooze tears.

　　In this regard, Minamiya Yu could only coax her quickly: "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. Sister Ely, if you have any wishes, just tell me, I will try my best to satisfy them!"

　　"real?"

　　Ely sniffed, and the nasal crying tone in her voice even made Minamiya Yu feel like he had really made a big mistake.

　　"Really, really, I'll agree to whatever Sister Ely says."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Minamiya Yu felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to make amends, he saw Ely's expression immediately brighten up. She excitedly said before he could, "You said that, Ayu!"

　　Oh no, I’ve been tricked!

　　"Well, can I regret it?"

　　"Hey, it's too late!"

　　Ely laughed cutely, and her lively eyes made Minamiya Yu feel uncomfortable. He could only hope that her request was not excessive.

　　"In that case, I'll let you, Ayu..."

　　Minamiya Yu held his breath and fearfully put his face against Ely's chest.

　　"Just call me Sister Elysia like you did before!"

　　"No, I think...ah, that's it?"

　　"Hmm~ What else?"

　　Ely smiled gently. She gently nodded the head buried in her chest with her chin and said in a gentle voice: "Does Ayu still think that I will make you do something difficult?"

　　"Sorry, Sister Elysia..."

　　"No need, just shout, I'm really looking forward to it~"

　　Looking down, Elysia's eyes sparkled as she waited for the words to come out.

　　"So, Sister Elysia?"

　　"No, no, the voice needs to be younger, and it shouldn't be a question mark!"

　　"Sister Elysia~"

　　"The voice is too soft, try again!"

　　"Sister Elysia!"

　　"It's too loud, speak more normally, and it would be better if you can sound like a spoiled child."

　　"......"

　　I don’t know how many times it happened, and when Minamiya Yu was almost PTSD to these words, Ely was finally satisfied.

　　But Minamiya Yu still couldn't get up for a while, because Ely had fallen into a very strange state.

　　She didn't say anything, just giggled, hugged him tightly, and rubbed against his body.

　　To be honest, Minamiya Yu actually felt that this was a bit like being crazy... but he didn't dare to say it.

　　However, Ely's body, which was fuller and more mature than Seele's, brought Minamiya Yu an excellent experience. The body that was tightly pressed against him made his accelerated heartbeat never slow down.

　　At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Kiana, smiling happily, poked her head out and shouted to the room: "Ayu, get up and have breakfast..."

　　Looking at the two people hugging and rubbing against each other, Kiana's excited expression slowly froze, and her body mechanically closed the door like a puppet.

　　Then she looked at the door of the room.

　　That’s right, it’s Ayu’s room.

　　Did I fall into a daze after sleeping so much?

　　Scratching her head, Kiana opened the door again.

　　This time, Ely had already turned around, holding Minamiya Yu with one hand and waving happily at Kiana with the other hand: "Hi, good morning?~"

　　Bang!

　　Kiana slammed the door shut, her eyes shaken, and she leaned against the door, gasping for breath.

　　Then, she quickly rushed downstairs and shouted to Seele and Bronya in the restaurant: "Seele, Bronya, it's bad, Yu was taken away by an unknown woman!!!"

　　Pop.

　　The cup in Seele's hand fell to the ground.

Chapter 443 Acquisition Plan

Nanaya's words surprised everyone present.

Generally speaking, when filmmakers are trying to capitalize on political hype, they are often slow to realize it.

That is, the film will be produced after the popularity appears.

This will lead to a lag effect in the film. After all, except for small productions that can be performed by two or three people, the normal production cycle of a film is at least half a year and at most several years.

So by the time the movie is released, it will be a big question whether this popularity will still be there.

Therefore, we often see many movies that try to ride on the popularity of a long time ago and then fail so badly that even your mother won’t recognize them.

This situation will happen. First of all, the popularity is difficult to predict.

After all, no one has the ability to predict the future, and no one knows what the popularity will be next year.

Another reason is that the top executives of film companies are always conservative.

Nanaya knew that in Hollywood, there were many film company executives whose only job every day was to say "No" to countless projects.

Because if he said “Yes”, he would have to pack up and go home if the movie flopped.

Every year, several Hollywood executives are fired by their parent companies because of the failure of a film project.

But Nanaya is different. Although he is not a professional time traveler at all and often brings shame to his predecessors like Long Aotian.

After all, there are really not many time travelers who have suffered kidney deficiency because of women.

But Nanaya still knew about the popularity of Obama.

But Nanaya knowing this doesn’t mean others know it.

So when I shared my thoughts on Captain America, everyone was stunned.

Most people had an expression of "So you can play it like this?"

But if you think about it carefully, everyone feels that what Nanaya said is very likely to come true.

Everyone present was a business person and was not interested in so-called correctness.

But I still have a sense of the changes and trends in the market.

If a black person really ran for president, the possibility of him winning would be quite high.

Not to mention, the other candidate is a woman.

Skin color and gender have always been the correctness that Hollywood emphasizes, and are also what everyone yearns for in the beautiful America.

If the film can take advantage of this popularity, the box office of "Captain America" may even exceed that of "Iron Man".

"I understand. Then let's put Captain America on the agenda first and postpone Thor for now."

Shion nodded and concluded. She ordered Feige, "Kevin, come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible. If we want to catch up with the election next year, we don't have much time."

"No problem, I will give you a detailed plan within 2 weeks."

Feige agreed.

On the other side, Avi Arad had a dejected look on his face, looking like a defeated rooster.

Although Feige's two plans were not completely approved, the fact that one of them was approved doesn't mean that his proposal was not completely rejected?

And what Shion Washimine said just now was that Feige should submit the report to her directly after completing it.

Wouldn't that really make me just a rubber stamp?

[I am old. Has my time passed? ]

Avi Arad rubbed his brows. For the first time, he felt that he was unable to control Marvel.

[No, I can't just give up like this. I was the one who led the Iron Man project, and I was the one who pulled Marvel back from the brink of hell.]

[The junior Feige and the outsider Washimine were not even qualified to enter the venue! ]

Avi Arad clenched his fists and suddenly said, "Since Feige is in charge of the Captain America project, let me be in charge of the Iron Man 2 project."

"Arad, are you sure your body can handle it?"

Shion deliberately pretended to be concerned.

"No problem, let me take the lead on Iron Man 2. Feige still has work to do on The Incredible Hulk, and working on two projects at the same time is already very busy for him. Let's reduce some of the burden on the young people." Avi Arad said with a fake smile, "After all, I am also the current president of Marvel."

"I understand. Thank you for your help."

Shion generously agreed to Avi Arad's proposal.

Nanaya on the side opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed it.

When the other people present saw the boss speak, they did not express any objection.

"Then let's talk about the next topic." Shion looked at Nanaya, "How is the first half of FZ going? This is our most important project this year."

"Most of the filming and special effects production has been completed, and there are still a few shots that need to be re-shot. Tomorrow Zhi will replace me to go to North America to shoot this part." Nanaya indicated that there was no problem, "After the selection of new Trier members is completed, I will return to North America for the final production. I guarantee that the finished film can be submitted to the MPAA for review in early February, and it will not delay the release of the movie in March."

The first part of FZ was almost completed before the New Year, but Nanaya found a few minor problems during the post-production editing and some reshoots were needed.

Unfortunately, everyone was already on vacation at that time, so Nanaya simply waited until after the New Year.

It is very common to reshoot movies. After all, no one can guarantee that the footage they shot the first time will be enough.

Shion also knew that this was a necessary part of the film production process, so she didn't take it too seriously.

"That's good. Once the movie is finished, the distribution department will fully cooperate with you." Shion said, looking at the director of the distribution department of Washimine Entertainment, "You must hurry up to promote the movie. This is very important for promoting the movie."

"Well, I have already bought the trailer for this year's Super Bowl. After the trailer is released, we will launch a full range of promotions offline and online."

Shion nodded in satisfaction, and she looked at another supervisor: "The peripheral reserves must be sufficient. When FSN and UBW were released before, there was a shortage of peripheral products. I don't want such a problem to happen again this time."

"I see."

The other party heard the warning in Shion's words and nodded in agreement.

"Very good."

Shion concluded, "2006 has passed. 2007 is a crucial year for Washimine Entertainment. If everything goes well, this year will be the best time for us to expand our achievements and become the top second-tier Hollywood company."

Gather strength in 2007, consolidate your position in 2008 and 2009, and try to break into the first-tier market in 2010.

This is what Shion planned.

After all, all companies below the top six are second-tier, and it is not easy to climb to the first-tier.

As Shion finished her concluding remarks, the meeting participants dispersed.

Except for Avi Arad, who looked unhappy because of Feige's provocation, everyone else was in a good mood.

Everyone said goodbye to the people around them while thinking about how to complete their tasks.

Finally, Shion asked Nanaya to stay and planned to have a small meeting with him.

"Nanaya, did you want to say something just now?"

Shion obviously noticed Nanaya's little action.

"Yes. Avi Arad is too confident, but his ideas are outdated. I am really worried that the Iron Man 2 project will be ruined because of his personal relationship." Facing Shion, Nanaya directly expressed his concerns.

"Of course I know, but like he said himself. He is the current president of Marvel, we can't just kick him out completely. Letting him be in charge of Iron Man 2 can also soothe his emotions."

Shion certainly understood Nanaya's concerns, but she also had her own considerations.

"You don't have to worry too much. Iron Man is so successful, so the sequel won't be that bad. At most, it will just not be as successful."

Nanaya didn't know how to tell Shion.

Although the reputation of "Iron Man 2" in his memory was very bad, its commercial performance could be said to be extremely successful.

As for the possible problem of the second episode's declining reputation leading to losses in the third episode, this did not happen due to the perfect performance of "The Avengers".

Moreover, from Nanaya's perspective, the decline in reputation of "Iron Man 2" is mainly due to "Iron Man 1". In terms of the quality of the movie, it is at least better than "Thor".

"I see. Then Iron Man 2 will be handed over to Avi Arad."

Maybe this is also an opportunity.

If Avi Arad really messed up "Honor of Man 2", then Nanaya could take the opportunity to kick this outdated man out.

"That's it for Marvel. Now let's talk about your matter."

The expression on Shion's face turned serious.

"What do you think about this? About what I proposed years ago."

"Are you saying that Washimine fully acquired [Erque Studio]?"

Nanaya gently said what Shion was referring to.

Years ago, Shion proposed the idea of acquiring Erque Studio in full and making it a branch of Washimine Holdings.

As a price, Nanaya's shares in Erque Studio can be exchanged for shares of Washimine Group at a premium.

Yes, it’s not Washimine Entertainment but shares of Washimine Corporation.

In fact, Shion has been thinking about this idea for a long time.

In fact, when Nanaya and Lin Bao separated, Shion thought about directly acquiring [Erque].

It was just that Nanaya was more sensitive because of Lin Bao's incident at that time.

In order to ensure that Nanaya could be won over smoothly, Shion did not do so.

After several years of cooperation, Nanaya no longer has the same wariness as before, so Shion naturally hopes to tie Nanaya to her chariot completely.

It was Disney's acquisition of Pixar at the beginning of last year that gave Shion the inspiration to think about how to make Nanaya feel at ease.

"If you agree, Nanaya will be the second largest individual shareholder of Washimine Group."

Shion's words made Nanaya somewhat moved.

Washimine's largest individual shareholder is Shion, but her shares came from her grandfather.

When the old man retired, he handed over all his shares and power to Shion.

It has to be said that considering the size of Washimine, the way the founding family directly holds shares is quite primitive.

This also has a lot to do with the fact that Washimine is a Japanese company.

If it were in the United States, it would probably be the case that Shion would be held in the form of a company or a fund.

By the way, with Washimine's success in both the gaming and film fields, Shion's net worth has exceeded the 10 billion US dollar mark, making her a true white, rich and beautiful woman.

"So, Nanaya, what do you think about the acquisition?" Shion knew it was time to negotiate terms.

"My thoughts?"

Nanaya became interested. Although his relationship with the big boss was so good that he even slept in the same bed, he had to protect his own interests at this time.

Touching his chin, Nanaya tapped the table lightly with his index finger. "Shion, do you think I have too many shares in Marvel? This is not easy for Washimine to interfere with Marvel management, right? Look, didn't Arad keep asking me for help just now?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Shion understood quickly. She guessed what Nanaya wanted to do: "That's true, but the money used to acquire Marvel was taken from the profits of your Fate."

"Yeah, so..."

Nanaya and Shion were chatting casually.

Secretly, the two people slowly reached a consensus.

Chapter 53 The whole big job?

　　Back at the villa, the four people were fighting fiercely in the living room.

　　Kiana and Sirin's faces were already covered with strips, Mei's was second, and Seele's had the least, with only two strips hanging on each cheek.

　　After noticing the two people coming back, Seele immediately put down the cards in her hand and trotted over with her slippers clicking.

　　Seeing this, Kiana quickly threw her cards into the deck and said happily, "No more playing, no more playing. It's boring."

　　"Tsk." Sirin smacked her lips and threw her cards away.

　　Kiana should have lost this game.

　　Seeing both of them like this, Mei could only smile helplessly, and then throw all her good cards in.

　　"Brother, Sister Bronya, where did you go? Seele searched for a long time but couldn't find you."

　　Seeing the two people standing so close to each other, Seele's cute brows frowned slightly.

　　"Nothing. I just had nothing to do, so I took Bronya for a walk on the beach."

　　Hearing this, Bronya glanced at Minamiya Yu, paused, and said nothing.

　　"Walk along the beach? That's nice."

　　There was a hint of longing in Seele's eyes, but unfortunately it was too late and it was not suitable to go out.

　　It was already a bit cold at night, and Minamiya Yu and Bronya quickly put on the coats they had prepared after returning to the villa.

　　We didn't chat for too long and soon it was time to take a break.

　　After taking a hot bath, Minamiya Yu returned to the room and lay comfortably on the soft big bed.

　　The only flaw is that Seele didn't come. It might be because Mei, Kiana and the others were all there, and Seele, who is a little shy, felt a little shy.

　　Without the pillow, he felt a little empty, but Minamiya Yu was not in a hurry.

　　I turned over and took out my cell phone which I hadn't used for a day, thinking of checking the messages before going to bed.

　　As the saying goes, you don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.

　　The moment he turned on his phone, the message notification on the screen caused him to suffer an instant cardiac and respiratory arrest.

　　Not only are there 99+ message notifications, but there are also more than a dozen missed calls.

　　With some nervous fingers, he slid open the screen, and when he saw that the message notifications on the social software were all from a certain pink fairy, Minamiya Yu's eyes suddenly turned dark.

　　If it breaks, there will be big problems.

　　At this time, he also remembered what he had forgotten in the morning.

　　Before boarding the plane, he actually thought about sending his location to Elysia after getting off the plane, to give her a surprise.

　　As a result, I fell asleep due to airsickness and forgot about the incident.

　　Flipping through the chat history with Ely, just by looking at the lines of text, Minamiya Yu seemed to be able to see the expression on the other side.

　　From the joy of looking forward to chatting, to the confusion when Minamiya Yu didn't reply to the message, to the strong resentment later, especially after noticing that the dozen or so missed calls were all from Ely, Minamiya Yu was sweating profusely.

　　The news stopped in the morning, and there was no news from Elysia for the whole day.

　　If it were just this, Minamiya Yu might not have been so panicked, but when he saw the message Cocolia sent him below, saying that she had told Ely her location, his heart suddenly stopped.

　　Minamiya Yu quickly replied to the message and explained his situation.

　　He was already in the same city as Elysia, and he was really afraid that Elysia would come over and gank him in a rage, causing him to do something terrible.

　　There may not be any physiological impact, but socially he may want to find a hole to bury himself immediately.

　　To this day, he still couldn't guess what was going on in Elysia's innocent little head.

　　Unfortunately, the message fell on deaf ears and I waited for a long time but received no response from the other side.

　　Minamiya Yu comforted himself by saying that it was so late and Ely might have already gone to bed. Then, in an uneasy state, he slowly fell asleep.

　　The next morning, he opened his eyes early.

　　After picking up his phone and taking a look at the chat box which was still silent, Minamiya Yu sighed, got dressed and got up silently.

　　He probably hasn't woken up yet, he tried to comfort himself again.

　　Downstairs, Seele and Mei, who had gotten up earlier, had already started preparing breakfast for everyone.

　　After breakfast, Seele came over with some concern, raised her little hand and touched Minamiya Yu's forehead.

　　"What's wrong?" Minamiya Yu asked.

　　"Brother doesn't have a fever either."

　　Seele muttered quietly, then looked at her brother and said worriedly: "Brother seems to be in a bad mood. Did he not sleep well last night?"

　　Unexpectedly, Seele observed so carefully. Minamiya Yu was stunned for a moment and then responded with a smile: "It's true that I didn't sleep well. After all, without a soft pillow, I couldn't fall asleep at all."

　　"Why?"

　　Meeting her brother's teasing gaze, Seele immediately slapped him angrily.

　　"Brother, stop joking!"

　　"No, I'm telling the truth."

　　With Seele, the quality of sleep can indeed be greatly improved. Feeling Seele's gentle embrace at night, Minamiya Yu even wants to turn into Char.

　　"Really?"

　　Seele was somewhat tempted. She hesitantly looked at her brother who was somewhat expectant. Just as she was about to nod, she heard Kiana's voice behind her and immediately shook her head quickly.

　　"Brother, you better hold on for a few more days."

　　After saying that, Seele turned around and ran to find Sister Bronya. I don’t know if it was because she was shy.

　　Minamiya Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back to a deserted place, and silently dialed Ely's number.

　　The pleasant ringtone lasted just two seconds before the other party hung up.

　　'Sorry, the user you dialed is busy, please try again later...'

　　Okay, it’s confirmed, Elysia is definitely going to give him a big job.

　　Minamiya Yu, who understood this, was no longer worried. The known difficulties were far less terrifying than the unknown ones.

　　Although I don't know what Ely will do, I will fight back if the enemy comes.

　　At this moment, Kiana's cry attracted his attention.

　　In the living room, Kiana was lying on the sofa, asking Sirin to help her apply sunscreen on her back.

　　Thinking that they were sisters, Sirin warmed the lotion in her hands before applying it on Kiana's back and gently applying it.

　　I thought I would be thanked by my sister, but suddenly I saw Kiana turned her head, frowned at her and said, "How come you only have this little strength? Sirin, please don't be perfunctory."

　　Sirin: “?”

　　"You want me to be stronger?"

　　"Yes."

　　"How big?"

　　“The bigger the better!”

　　"!!!"

　　Okay, okay, that’s what you said.

　　A happy smile appeared on Sirin's face, and she looked at Kiana's back with malicious eyes.

　　Soon, Kiana's screams echoed throughout the house again.

　　Minamiya Yu walked to Bronya in silence, patted her shoulder and said, "Look, this is the sin you committed."

　　"......"

　　Bronya was also a little stunned. She hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that I still underestimated Kiana."

Chapter 52 I think I just didn’t bake it well enough

　　"My other self, Sister Bronya, probably doesn't mean that..."

　　Hearing Black Seele's voice in her mind, Seele whispered a retort.

　　"Hmm? Seele, what did you say just now?"

　　Bronya stopped talking and looked at Seele, who was mumbling with her mouth open, with some confusion.

　　"Nothing, Seele just feels that what Sister Bronya said makes sense~"

　　Blinking her innocent eyes, Seele continued, "Brother does go too far sometimes. Seele must learn to say no from now on!"

　　"Well, that's right..."

　　"Seele, come here~"

　　Bronya just nodded with satisfaction when she heard Minamiya Yu's voice calling not far away.

　　"Seele, try to reject him and make him understand...Seele?"

　　Bronya put her hands on her hips and was about to stand next to Seele to give her courage, but when she looked back, she found that Seele, who had just stood next to her, had disappeared.

　　Turning around again, Seele ran to Minamiya Yu who was lying on the beach chair and asked happily, "Brother, what's wrong?"

　　"I want to eat fruit."

　　Although the fruit plate is within reach, it is still sweeter and more delicious to let Seele feed the children than to eat them yourself.

　　Seele immediately understood and gave Minamiya Yu an expression that showed that she really couldn't do anything to him. Then she put some fruits on a small plate and happily squeezed into the same beach chair with Minamiya Yu.

　　Looking at them happily biting each other's food, Bronya's eyes twitched and she couldn't help but slapped herself on the forehead.

　　Well, what I said just now was somewhat like talking to a deaf person. It seems that Seele didn't hear a word I said.

　　Although her little plan to sow discord failed, Bronya did not give up and immediately approached her.

　　Soon, pathetic wails were heard from the beach chairs that were forced to squeeze three people together.

　　......

　　You don’t have to worry about studies and work, so you should enjoy your holidays.

　　After hanging out with Seele for a whole morning, everyone played volleyball together again in the afternoon. Bronya and Minamiya Yu were in one group, and Mei and Sirin were in another. How should I put it, this was simply a crushing game.

　　Minamiya Yu and Yaya, who had been training since childhood, taught Sirin and Meiyi a good lesson. It was not until the physically weak Sirin was replaced by Seele that the situation on both sides became somewhat balanced.

　　In the evening, Minamiya Yu and Meiyi set up the barbecue grill early. The ingredients were ready, and the entire refrigerator full of fresh ingredients was enough for them to splurge for the next few days.

　　After mixing the seasonings and marinating the ingredients, soon the sizzling sound of grilling could be heard on the beach, along with the tempting aroma that made people drool unconsciously.

　　However, happy times are always accompanied by small surprises. When Mei saw Kiana happily grilling a bunch of mushrooms in her hand, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Kiana!! Where did the mushrooms in your hand come from?"

　　Because of the lesson from last time, even if there were mushrooms in the refrigerator this time, Meiyi and Minamiya Yu didn't dare to take them out.

　　So, where did the mushroom skewers in Kiana's hand come from?

　　Sure enough, under everyone's gaze, Kiana raised her hand without hesitation and pointed to the dense forest outside.

　　"I picked them in the woods. The sun was too strong in the afternoon, so I took a walk in the woods. I didn't expect there were so many mushrooms on the roadside. I thought I could pick them and grill them for dinner."

　　Seeing her innocent smile, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

　　"Well, why don't we just not eat mushrooms? Look, Kiana, didn't you...?"

　　Mei was already deliberately using gentle words, but Kiana responded: "Oh, don't worry, it will be fine this time. I asked someone online about the mushrooms last time. It's not the mushrooms' fault, it's just my fault for not roasting them well enough. Really, I'll roast them a little longer this time, and there will be absolutely no problem!!"

　　As she spoke, she turned the mushroom in her hand over again, and immediately, a strange and delicious smell emanated from the mushroom.

　　In the end, after everyone's efforts to persuade her with both reason and emotion, they exchanged two skewers of chicken wings for the ominous string of mushrooms. However, as soon as they got it, Minamiya Yu threw it into the charcoal fire, which made Kiana feel regretful.

　　The twists and turns were resolved, and everyone finally enjoyed a barbecue dinner without any danger.

　　Afterwards, Seele was dragged to the villa by Kiana and the other two to play card games. Bronya finally seized the opportunity to be alone with Minamiya Yu, and the two of them took a walk on the beach together.

　　The beach at night exudes a pleasant coolness. Although the salty and humid sea breeze does not smell that pleasant, with a beautiful woman by his side, it is completely acceptable to Minamiya Yu.

　　The two walked together on the beach, the receding waves kissing their feet again and again, erasing the clear footprints left along the way.

　　Naturally, they held hands together and interlocked their fingers.

　　"Normally at this time, we should already be in the studio."

　　The calm sea divided the world into two. The fake stars twinkled as brightly as the real starry sky. Bronya said with a smile, using her other free hand to gather her long silver hair that was blown by the sea breeze.

　　"Yeah, maybe we'll quarrel over something~"

　　Looking at Bronya's face clearly illuminated by the moonlight, Minamiya Yu blinked meaningfully.

　　"You, please stop teasing me about that. Didn't I already say I regret it?"

　　Bronya puffed up her cheeks cutely, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

　　The bulging appearance reminded Minamiya Yu of Miss Pufferfish. He felt it was interesting and poked it lightly with his finger. The air was deflated with a "poof". Bronya was so angry that she opened her mouth and bit the finger that poked her.

　　"Hiss~"

　　Hearing Minamiya Yu's gasping sound, Bronya immediately loosened her teeth and asked nervously, "Does it hurt?"

　　As she spoke, she held the hand whose fingers she had bitten and examined it carefully in the moonlight.

　　It is visible to the naked eye that there is a row of deep teeth marks left on the fingertips. If you look closely, you can also see tiny traces of blood seeping out.

　　"Hold, sorry."

　　It was really her subconscious action just now. In fact, she didn't intend to use so much force. She wanted to find a Band-Aid and put it on, but she found that she was wearing a swimsuit and there was no place to put a Band-Aid.

　　"Why are you apologizing? I just deserved it."

　　Minamiya Yu squeezed her hands that were still clasped together and said nonchalantly.

　　"We don't have any Band-Aids on us right now, why don't we go back first."

　　"If you have a Band-Aid on you right now, that's a big problem."

　　"?"

　　Seeing Bronya's puzzled expression, Minamiya Yu quickly coughed twice to change the subject: "Ahem, it doesn't hurt that much anymore, it's okay, I want to walk with you again"

　　Bronya's eyes wavered as she savored his voice.

　　I want to be with her...

　　Minamiya Yu pulled Bronya and wanted to move forward, but Bronya still stood there.

　　"actually......"

　　Bronya suddenly took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and put her arms around Minamiya Yu's neck.

　　"I have a better way to relieve the pain."

　　"What method?" The sudden warm body pressed against her made Minamiya Yu's Adam's apple roll and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

　　Under the bright moonlight, the two faces were very close, close enough to feel each other's breath. Looking at Bronya, the face that once was cute and a little childish has become more charming and attractive.

　　"Like this."

　　Bronya smiled brightly on her rosy face. At this moment, Minamiya Yu suddenly understood what it meant to be charming with a single smile. This kind of charm that was exuded unintentionally was the most alluring. His hands gradually wrapped around her slender waist.

　　The clouds blocked the full moon's prying eyes, causing the two originally intertwined shadows to slowly blend into the darkness.

　　Soon, the moonlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the slowly falling silver threads between the lips.

　　"How are you, feeling better?"

　　Bronya asked in a soft voice, breathing heavily.

　　“It doesn’t feel like enough…”

　　"Yeah?"

　　Biting her lip, with seductiveness in her eyes, Bronya stood on tiptoes again.

　　"Then... let's do it again."

Chapter 51 She also wants to thank us~

　　"Hmm? Is Bronya asleep?"

　　Bronya had just applied the sunscreen and was still lying there limp. When she heard Kiana's voice, she just raised her eyelids and didn't even bother to say a word.

　　"No, she's just lying down to rest."

　　Sitting next to Bronya, Minamiya Yu answered Kiana's question with a smile.

　　Minamiya Yu could only describe Yaya, who showed no resistance to his advances, in four words - it feels so good.

　　I forgot the beginning, the middle, and the end, but I just remember that duck butt is a treasure.

　　"I see, but didn't we just get up?"

　　Muttering softly, Kiana turned her gaze from Bronya to Minamiya Yu.

　　"In that case, can you help me, Yu?"

　　"Whatever it is, just tell me."

　　Minamiya Yu is in a good mood now, and he doesn't mind doing even the more troublesome work.

　　"It's the sunscreen. I forgot to apply it on my back just now. It would be bad if I get sunburned again."

　　As soon as she finished speaking, Minamiya Yu's expression became a little strange, and Kiana continued, "Mei and Sirin are still playing volleyball, so I wanted to ask Seele or Bronya to help me apply it, but they both seemed to be away."

　　Scratching her head, Kiana smiled innocently and handed a small bottle to Minamiya Yu: "So, I can only trouble you, Yu. Hehe, be thankful, this is a benefit given to you by this lady~"

　　Pop.

　　Before Minamiya Yu could say anything, Kiana felt a hand reaching up from the bottom to grasp her right hand as she was handing over something. At the same time, Bronya propped herself up, and her dark eyes made Kiana feel uncomfortable.

　　"B, Bronya, are you awake?"

　　"I'll help you apply it."

　　After saying that, Bronya turned around and gave Minamiya Yu a warning look.

　　In response, Minamiya Yu could only spread his hands and shrugged to indicate that he would not do anything. Only then did Bronya nod in satisfaction.

　　"oh oh......"

　　In fact, it doesn’t matter who Kiana lets paint. Since Bronya is up, it’s okay to let her do it.

　　"Get down."

　　Bronya made way for Kiana and let her lie down where she was just now.

　　"Oh...why do I feel a little wet down there?"

　　As soon as she lay down, Kiana raised her head and asked in confusion. This place is still some distance away from the beach, and it is impossible for the sea water to spread here.

　　"The water just spilled."

　　Bronya froze and her face turned red for a moment, but she quickly pressed Kiana's head down and said, "Lie down quietly. I'm going to start applying it."

　　"oh."

　　Kiana didn't suspect anything and lay back obediently, but her legs deliberately avoided the small wet area, as it felt sticky and made her feel uncomfortable.

　　Bronya squeezed the sunscreen into her palm, rubbed it a little, and then pressed it directly on Kiana's back.

　　Suddenly, all the nerves in Kiana's back trembled.

　　"Hiss~ It's so cool!!!"

　　"Hold on!"

　　Bronya naturally would not spoil Kiana, so she smeared the cold lotion on Kiana's smooth back wantonly.

　　Moreover, as if to vent the little resentment she had just felt, Kiana rubbed her hands so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

　　That guy Yu, this, this is outside, how dare he just now! ! ! !

　　The point is, she was so bold even to him, how many enviable... no, infuriating things did she do behind her back with Seele? !

　　Bronya felt that she was already very bold, but she still underestimated the shamelessness of some people.

　　Just when Kiana was being tortured to death, Seele finally opened the door and walked out.

　　Her hydrated and plump little face was still a little red, and she was holding a tray with some cut fruits on it.

　　When she saw Minamiya Yu waving at her, she immediately smiled brightly and walked over quickly with her little feet.

　　Seeing Seele coming over, Bronya stopped torturing Kiana and slapped her round butt. After a crisp snap, she said, "Okay, get up."

　　Just after sitting up, Kiana still had a grimacing look on her face. She looked at Bronya angrily and complained, "Bronya, do we have a grudge against each other? Why are you using so much force?"

　　In response, Bronya just glanced at him calmly and said calmly: "The strength is only used to apply it evenly. You think it's too much strength, but I think it's too much effort. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't go through so much trouble."

　　"Really?"

　　"Why would I lie to you?"

　　Hearing this, Kiana smiled a little embarrassedly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I wronged you, thank you for your help."

　　"Well, we are all friends, it's only natural. Seele just brought some fruit over. Do you want to have some?"

　　"Yes, yes, yes, I want to eat watermelon!"

　　Seeing Kiana immediately forgetting what happened just now and starting to eat the watermelon, Minamiya Yu couldn't help but give her a caring look.

　　This child seems to be a little too gullible.

　　Minamiya Yu leaned close to Bronya's ear and whispered, "Isn't it a bit too much to lie to Kiana like this?"

　　"Excessive?"

　　Bronya curled her lips and smiled: "What's too much? She even wants to thank us."

　　"......"

　　Okay, okay, is this what a good best friend is? I’ve learned something.

　　After talking to Minamiya Yu, Bronya grabbed Seele, who was struggling over whether to feed her brother watermelon, cantaloupe or her own imported fruit, and dragged her aside to talk in private.

　　"What's wrong? Sister Bronya?"

　　Seele asked doubtfully.

　　"Nothing, I just want to ask Seele if you have been too indulgent towards Yu recently."

　　The progress is so fast that it’s hard for her to catch up, Bronya muttered to herself.

　　"What is Sister Bronya saying? Seele doesn't understand."

　　Blinking her big eyes, Seele began to act stupid.

　　"What did you do in the villa just now?"

　　"......Well, I didn't do anything. I just put on some sunscreen."

　　"Oh, then let's just take it as it is."

　　Bronya said that she had experienced it herself and wondered who would apply sunscreen like this.

　　Noticing Bronya's expression, Seele also realized that what she and her brother had just done secretly was exposed. She immediately glanced at her brother from a distance with a resentful look. When she looked back at her sister Bronya, she heard her continue, "Think carefully, have you ever refused his excessive requests, Seele?"

　　"Of course you refused...right?"

　　Seele frowned and thought cutely. She had indeed rejected those unreasonable requests.

　　At first Seele did not agree, but after seeing her brother's pleading eyes, she always got excited and obeyed reluctantly. Later on, she was sometimes even more active than her brother.

　　"So..."

　　Then, Bronya began to instill in Seele the idea that girls should not be too proactive and should keep a certain distance, etc.

　　Seele's expression was full of seriousness and she nodded from time to time, but as to whether she listened or not, it was hard to say.

　　At the same time, in Seele's spiritual world, Hei Xi sneered: "Your dear sister Bronya said so much, but in the end, wasn't it you, Seele, who was lying on the rain bed?"

Chapter 50: Paint it like this?

　　"One day, a whole day without replying my message!"

　　Turning over and lying on the bed, Elysia held the tablet in both hands, her cute cheeks puffed up with anger, and her plump breasts, no longer restrained, trembled wildly with her movements, constantly showing her presence even through her pajamas.

　　"My dear Ely, please don't be angry. Is it possible that the other party just happened to be busy, or didn't have his phone with him?"

　　Eden on the screen waited until Elysia finished complaining before she smiled and began to comfort her.

　　"I know!"

　　Eden's smile was a little stiff. She was at a loss for words after hearing what Elysia said. She immediately asked in confusion, "Since you know, then..."

　　"But I'm just angry!"

　　"......"

　　Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, eh? Eden closed her mouth consciously. Is this what a girl in love is like? It’s really scary.

　　"Besides, it's already the second day, and there's still no news from Ayu."

　　Although she was angry, there was a hint of worry in Elysia's tone when she spoke of this.

　　"Then why don't you call someone close to him and ask?"

　　"It's not that we can't fight, but..."

　　Seele and Yaya were wary of her like they were a thief. Even if she asked, they might not tell the truth.

　　"Is it inconvenient? Then, does the Ayu you mentioned have any other relatives?"

　　Seeing Elysia's embarrassed expression, Eden mentioned it again.

　　"My dear... Oh! How could I forget my mother-in-law? Thank you, my dear Eden, I will call her right away!"

　　"You're welcome."

　　Has her best friend even called her mother-in-law? Does she know that she suddenly has a daughter-in-law?

　　Eden maintained a smile on his face, but in his heart he was complaining to Elysia.

　　Without avoiding Eden, Elysia picked up the phone and dialed Cocolia's number. Soon, the call was connected, and a voice so sweet that it made Eden's scalp tingle came out of Elysia's mouth.

　　Soon, Elysia got the information she wanted.

　　"Ayu, is he coming to Europe, or the city I'm in now?!!"

　　"What? He was already here yesterday, and he was playing on the beach with a bunch of cute girls?!"

　　"He didn't even talk to me..."

　　"I see......"

　　The phone call became increasingly silent, until Elysia finally said goodbye softly and hung up.

　　"Elysia..."

　　Eden looked at her 'smiling' best friend with some worry, and soon got her response: "What's wrong? My dear Eden."

　　"Are you okay?"

　　"Me? Of course I'm fine. The weather is great today, with a clear sky and bright sunshine. And I can see Yu later. Is there anything happier than this?"

　　It was clearly a normal voice, but Eden felt an inexplicable chill.

　　"But......"

　　She really wanted to say, "Aili, why are you laughing so horribly?" but she stopped in the end.

　　"It's just that we finally meet again, so I need to give my dear Ayu a big surprise~"

　　Hearing this, Eden sighed and silently began to pray for the man named Ayu.

　　......

　　"Kiana, you are exaggerating."

　　With a hint of disdain in her eyes, Sirin took a few steps away from Kiana.

　　Just now, she pinched Kiana a few times just because she exposed some dirt on her, but this guy screamed miserably as if he had been severely beaten.

　　"But it really hurts..."

　　With tears in her eyes, Kiana retorted in a low voice with grievance.

　　"pain?"

　　Everyone had already gotten up. Mei saw this scene and walked over with a frown. She grabbed Kiana's arm and held it in front of her eyes to examine it carefully.

　　Not long after, she raised her head and asked Kiana: "Kiana, did you not apply sunscreen yesterday?"

　　"Huh? What sunscreen?"

　　"......"

　　OK, found the problem.

　　"Because of the reflection of sand and water, the ultraviolet rays on the beach are very strong. Your skin is slightly sunburned now, so you feel pain without Sirin using much force."

　　Pointing to her slightly red skin, Mei pinched her arm gently as if demonstrating, and soon Kiana grimaced in pain.

　　"Ah? What should I do then?"

　　Hearing that she might be injured, Kiana suddenly asked nervously.

　　"No, don't be nervous. This is not a big problem. What's more, your case is relatively mild. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing before going out today. You will be almost recovered in a day."

　　"So I can't play in the water today?"

　　Unexpectedly, Kiana's first reaction was this. Mei was so angry that she laughed a little and asked back, "What do you think?"

　　"......All right."

　　With a sigh, Kiana sat down at the dining table somewhat sadly.

　　After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms and started changing into swimsuits. Minamiya Yu's was the simplest, she just put on a simple pair of swimming trunks and walked out of the room.

　　When he opened the door, the doors of other rooms were still tightly closed. Minamiya Yu wanted to go downstairs and wait, but just after taking two steps, the door on his side opened a crack, and a tender white hand quickly reached out and grabbed Minamiya Yu's arm.

　　"Um?"

　　Before he could express his doubts, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling his body.

　　This power is Seele, right?

　　Just as he was thinking, he found himself being pulled into the room and the door was closed with a click.

　　"Brother, what do you think of Seele's swimsuit?"

　　The excited voice revealed the girl's identity. Minamiya Yu turned his head and saw Seele standing in front of him happily in a swimsuit with her hands behind her back, showing off herself openly.

　　The morning sunlight was not very strong, but the light it reflected was enough for Minamiya Yu to see Seele's beauty.

　　The light blue two-piece swimsuit wrapped around her exquisite curves, fair skin, and plump and firm thighs with an alluring luster. The most important thing was the sky-blue eyes looking at him with affection, which attracted his attention like an exquisite sapphire. Just by looking at them, his heart seemed to be filled with honey.

　　In response, Minamiya Yu gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "Perfect, Seele is indeed the cutest in the world!"

　　"Hehe, brother, you're praising me too much~"

　　Seele stuck out her tongue mischievously. Although she said that, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle and put it into Minamiya Yu's hand.

　　"Brother, help Seele apply sunscreen~"

　　"Sunscreen?"

　　Minamiya Yu picked up the bottle, and his eyes went from Seele's attractive jade feet to her rosy little face. Only when he looked at Seele until she was hairy all over did he say, "All over your body?"

　　"Why?"

　　Seele was stunned for a moment, then her toes began to curl up subconsciously, and her body swayed slightly involuntarily. She turned her head to the side so that her brother could not see her expression. Seele replied in a very small voice: "If my brother is willing..."

　　......

　　"Why are these two so slow?"

　　On the beach, in the shadow of parasols.

　　Bronya held a bottle of sunscreen in her hand, crossed her arms, and waited impatiently, tiptoeing one step at a time.

　　It's been almost half an hour. Is it so slow for two people to change clothes?

　　You can't just keep changing and end up moving to some other place, right?

　　Mei and Celine were already playing beach volleyball, with Kiana sitting on the side in her sun-protective clothing, acting as their referee.

　　Originally, Bronya was thinking of giving Minamiya Yu some benefits, but why hasn’t it come out yet?

　　Just then, the door of the villa opened, and Minamiya Yu, stretching his body, walked out slowly. When he saw Bronya, he waved happily.

　　The pure white bikini outlines Bronya's proud figure. It seems that since she started to grow up, she has become more and more fond of this kind of figure-showing clothes.

　　Tsk, now that I think about it, I really miss Bronya's one-piece swimsuit which had almost no curves.

　　"Why so slow?"

　　When he came closer, Bronya withdrew her gaze from his abdominal muscles and asked in confusion.

　　"I just helped Seele apply sunscreen, and Seele helped me apply it again."

　　Can applying sunscreen be so slow?

　　Looking at the empty back of Minamiya Yu, Bronya asked again: "What about Seele?"

　　"Oh, she's washing her hands."

　　"?"

　　Although she felt that the answer was a bit strange, Bronya didn't think about it too much. She couldn't wait any longer and directly stuffed the sunscreen in her hand into Minamiya Yu's hand.

　　"I want one too."

　　As she spoke, she lay on the spread-out beach towel and gently pulled with her right hand behind her back. The binding ribbon fell along her smooth skin, revealing her entire fair and flawless back in front of Minamiya Yu. The proud softness and fullness under her body were squeezed into a round pancake shape. Then, Bronya smiled charmingly and hooked her finger at Minamiya Yu.

　　“How do you apply it?”

　　This scene made Minamiya Yu raise his eyebrows. Thanks to Seele's help just now, he can now remain calm.

　　"Just like Seele."

　　"Are you sure?"

　　"Um."

　　Seeing Bronya closing her eyes confidently, Minamiya Yu's mouth curled up into a malicious smile.

　　He sat cross-legged next to Bronya, squeezed some sunscreen into his hands and rubbed it to warm it up, then covered Bronya's smooth back with his two warm and slippery hands.

　　Seeing that she didn't resist or make a sound, Minamiya Yu began to rub her with confidence.

　　At first, Bronya hummed softly in comfort, but when the hands began to leave the area on her back, Bronya was no longer happy.

　　No, this is how you apply sunscreen?

Chapter 49: I seem to have forgotten something

　　Because it was already afternoon when he arrived here yesterday, Minamiya Yu slept until the early morning of the next day.

　　Minamiya Yu opened his eyes at daybreak. His mind was still not yet awake when his stomach, which had been empty for the whole day, began to growl.

　　So hungry...

　　The surge of hunger quickly awakened his consciousness, and the embarrassing scene of yesterday reappeared in his mind.

　　Tsk, what a bad idea.

　　He shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts and hunger. A night's sleep cleared all the debuffs on his body. He now felt refreshed. It was true that only when you lose something can you know how to cherish it. Minamiya Yu felt that his body had never been so good.

　　Wait, refreshing?

　　Sitting up, he looked at his naked body and scratched his head in confusion. Who stripped him of his clothes? He lifted the quilt and found that he was not even wearing underwear. He remembered that he seemed to feel a familiar warmth when he was drowsy yesterday. Was it Seele?

　　His backpack was right next to the bed, so Minamiya Yu didn't think too much about it. He just took out a new set of clothes from the bag and changed into them. Shorts and a white T-shirt were a simple and versatile combination.

　　Then I picked up my phone from the bedside table to check the time. I clicked it, but found that the screen was unresponsive. After a moment, I realized that it was out of battery.

　　I remember that the battery was already very low when I got off the plane yesterday. Since then, I didn't charge it because I was airsick, so it should have shut down automatically by now.

　　Looking at his own reflection in the black screen, Minamiya Yu always felt as if he had forgotten something, but after frowning and thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember anything.

　　Forget it, it’s more important to go out and fill my stomach first.

　　After connecting the phone to the charger, Minamiya Yu stretched his body and walked towards the bathroom in the room. After quickly washing up, he opened the door and walked out.

　　Not long after Minamiya Yu went out, the charged mobile phone turned on automatically with a beep. After the icon of Anti-Entropy Technology flashed, the lock screen with Seele's sleeping face in the background lit up.

　　Then, the entire phone began to vibrate wildly, and messages popped up like a raging flood, mixed with several missed calls.

　　The source of these news basically belongs to the same person.

　　She was a cute girl with long pink hair.

　　......

　　Maybe they were too excited yesterday, so the girls all slept in this morning. Minamiya Yu, who failed to catch the cook, could only walk to the refrigerator helplessly and take out toast and milk.

　　After heating it up a little, he spread some peanut butter on it and had it as breakfast. These high-calorie foods were just enough to satisfy his empty stomach.

　　Minamiya Yu treated the sunrise at the seaside as a side dish, sat on the wooden steps at the door, and started eating it bite by bite.

　　The taste is just okay. The peanut butter is a bit greasy, but it is just right when paired with pure milk. It finally fills my stomach and the feeling of panic caused by hunger disappears without a trace.

　　Feeling herself rejuvenated, Minamiya Yu's mind suddenly popped up the words of a wise man.

　　This is the complete Chi Yuan, the complete Fu Hua, the complete me!!

　　Changing the name to her own is exactly how Minamiya Yu feels right now. Unfortunately, it is too embarrassing. Perhaps only someone with a personality like Kiana can say it without embarrassment.

　　After packing up and returning to the villa, one of the doors of the bedroom on the second floor was opened at this moment. Through the gap in the railing, Minamiya Yu could clearly see the furry and messy white hair.

　　Kiana was wearing loose pajamas and dragged her feet down the stairs step by step. She yawned sleepily as she walked, tears still flowing from the corners of her eyes.

　　When passing by Minamiya Yu, Qiyana squinted her eyes and greeted him: "Ah, it's Ayu, good morning~"

　　The drawn-out greeting made Minamiya Yu feel a little sleepy. Before he opened his mouth to respond, he saw Kiana, who was walking forward, suddenly stop.

　　Then she quickly turned around, staring at him blankly with one eye, one big and one small.

　　Soon, Kiana's eyes widened and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Ayu, you're awake!"

　　"Yeah, and I didn't turn into a girl."

　　Minamiya Yu replied with a smile and complained at the same time.

　　"What do you mean by turning into a girl? Is your body okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

　　As she spoke, Kiana even touched it.

　　"Don't worry, I've fully recovered." He pushed away Kiana's restless little hand. It would be bad if she touched somewhere she shouldn't.

　　Kiana, on the other hand, was only wearing a loose suspender pajamas. When she moved a little too much, the shoulder straps slid down her smooth, rosy shoulders, exposing half of her tender white curve to the air, but Kiana was completely unaware.

　　He is indeed a good brother, distributing benefits early in the morning.

　　"That's good, that's good. Ayu, you scared us to death yesterday. You looked so pale, and you looked almost like Sirin when she fainted after watching a horror movie."

　　"Has Sirin ever fainted from being scared by a horror movie?" Curiosity flashed in Minamiya Yu's eyes.

　　"Of course, you didn't see that time..."

　　At this point, Kiana also became interested and told him the story of the last time when Sirin fainted after being frightened by a horror movie and was carried to the hospital by her eldest sister.

　　When she was in high spirits, she even wanted to carry Minamiya Yu on her back and demonstrate a passage.

　　Little did she know that a certain purple-haired girl was already behind her, staring at her with death gaze for a long time.

　　Soon, Kiana's screams were heard in the room.

　　Perhaps Kiana's scream was too miserable, Seele, Bronya, and Mei quickly came out of their rooms rubbing their eyes, and after going out, they all leaned their heads to look down.

　　Minamiya Yu also greeted them one by one with a smile.

　　Seeing Minamiya Yu recover, Mei smiled with relaxation.

　　Bronya's eyes flickered. Yesterday's opportunity was seized by Seele, and she also wanted to do something today.

　　Seele didn't think too much about it. She immediately waved in surprise, then ran downstairs and threw herself on Minamiya Yu.

　　"Brother, are you okay?"

　　"Well, thanks to Seele's care~"

　　Unexpectedly, this compliment made Seele's face turn red instantly. She looked around, then leaned close to Minamiya Yu's ear and said in a small voice: "Brother, do you know what happened yesterday?"

　　"Yesterday? What happened?"

　　Seeing Minamiya Yu's confusion that was not disguised, Seele finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved at him repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, brother, don't worry about it, hehe~"

　　This kind of secret thing done secretly to her brother made Seele feel a little excited.

　　Sister, didn’t anyone tell you that this would make people care more?

　　Looking at Seele's smiling face, Minamiya Yu thought about how to get Seele to speak.

　　Compared to the joy here, the atmosphere on the other side seemed a little off.

　　"Eden, don't you think Ayu is going too far? How could he treat a cute girl like this?!"

　　In a pink, dreamy room, Elysia was lying on the bed in her pajamas. Her two cute white feet seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction, thumping on the soft bed according to her owner's mood. On the flat-screen in front of her, the neatly dressed Eden was looking at her with a rather helpless look.

Chapter 48 Airsickness

　　The sudden sound of footsteps on the dense forest path leading to the beach broke the original tranquility.

　　After crossing the ocean and mountains, Kiana finally arrived at the private beach she had been longing for. Because the place was secluded, the taxi could only take them to the nearest intersection, and they had to walk the rest of the cobblestone path by themselves.

　　However, the atmosphere in the originally lively team became a little depressing at this moment, because of the figure who was being carried in the front.

　　"Brother, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

　　Seele held Minamiya Yu's arm, Bronya supported her from the side, and Kiana, Celine and Mei also looked worried behind them.

　　"Don't worry, I'm much better now."

　　Even though he said that, his head was still spinning and his eardrums were stinging, causing an expression of pain to appear on his face from time to time.

　　Who would have thought that such a great man would be defeated by an airplane?

　　It was not until he got on the plane that he realized that he was airsick. The cross-border flight was long and he was tortured to death along the way. He couldn't sleep and couldn't vomit. After getting off the plane, his head was a mess and he couldn't even stand steadily. It was not until now that he felt better.

　　Logically speaking, he shouldn't get airsick with such a good physique, but he did.

　　The human body, isn't it amazing?

　　This scene scared Seele and the others. After getting off the plane, they took a taxi to their destination without stopping, so as to make the most of the time to let Minamiya Yu lie down and rest.

　　"Really? Brother, you are not allowed to lie to Seele."

　　"Of course not. After all, it's just airsickness, not illness."

　　"That's good."

　　Seele felt relieved and nodded slightly.

　　The cobblestone road was not long, and soon the few people saw the iron railings and locked gate in front.

　　As Bronya opened the door, the scenery behind suddenly became clear, just like what was described in the Peach Blossom Spring.

　　The dense forest, serving as a natural barrier, surrounds the area into a huge semicircle. The artificial beach is covered with soft fine sand, sparkling in the sun. The blue sea is also sparkling in the sunlight. The endless plane seems to be connected to the sky.

　　Unfortunately, Minamiya Yu no longer had the interest to appreciate the scenery.

　　Far away from the sea sat a villa with complete facilities. Seele and her companions hurriedly walked in.

　　The villa had been cleaned in advance by people arranged by Cocolia, and there was no problem staying in the tidy guest rooms.

　　After carefully helping Minamiya Yu lie down on the bed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　The soft bed indeed made him feel much more comfortable, and he even felt a little tired.

　　He looked at them and tried to put on a smile: "You guys go play first, I feel much better now, I think I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

　　"Really? Ah Yu, don't be so stubborn."

　　Kiana came over and tapped his shoulder. She was frightened by Minamiya Yu's pale face right after getting off the plane. She thought he was going to die.

　　"Don't worry, we have a volleyball match scheduled. I won't fall down until I defeat you."

　　"Hmm? I can't pretend I didn't hear that~"

　　Seeing that Minamiya Yu's voice was still a little weak, but he was already in the mood to joke, Kiana felt relieved and raised her hand to pat his shoulder again: "Then I'll wait for you to wake up and we'll fight it out!"

　　"It seems there's no need to compare this." Bronya complained in a low voice.

　　"Oh, the meaning is almost the same, just understand it!"

　　"Okay, let him have a good rest."

　　Seeing that Kiana wanted to say something and even pulled Minamiya Yu to have a fistfight, Mei finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her directly, and then Sirin also cooperated to drag Kiana out.

　　"Then brother, just rest assured. If anything happens, don't forget to call Seele."

　　Originally Seele wanted to stay, but was persuaded by Minamiya Yu to leave. He was just suffering from simple airsickness. He had finally come out, so there was no need to let Seele waste time with him.

　　"Yeah, have fun."

　　Soon, Minamiya Yu was the only one left in the room. His consciousness began to become a little groggy, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

　　......

　　"Wuhu, sea, here I come~"

　　Now that it has been confirmed that Minamiya Yu is fine, Kiana can naturally play with confidence.

　　She quickly changed into her swimsuit in the room and was the first to rush out the door and run to the deserted beach.

　　The scorching hot sand made the barefoot Kiana scream, and then she quickly stepped into the cool sea water. She immediately moaned with pleasure and ran around happily, like a husky that had broken free from its reins, having fun to her heart's content.

　　Soon, Mei and Sirin were dragged into the playing group by her handfuls of water. They were laughing and playing with each other, and it was very lively for a while.

　　Instead, Seele was sitting on a chair on the beach, wearing a coat, staring blankly at the sea, not knowing what she was thinking about.

　　"Seele, aren't you going to play?"

　　Finally, Bronya changed into her swimsuit and walked to Seele, looked at her and spoke softly.

　　Seele raised her eyes and was slightly stunned by sister Bronya's increasingly mature figure, but she soon shook her head gently.

　　At this time, Kiana, who was playing, waved to the two people on the beach from a distance: "Seele, Bronya, come and play~"

　　Hearing this, Seele stood up and raised her hand as a response to Kiana: "Sorry, Seele suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something. You guys go play first~"

　　After saying that, she said goodbye to her sister Bronya beside her, raised her feet, and walked towards the villa with her white little feet.

　　"Didn't you take the things?"

　　Looking at Seele's back, Bronya laughed and scolded: "I think someone's heart has already been in someone else's room."

　　Seele didn't respond, but her quickened pace said it all.

　　After returning to the villa, Seele first went back to her room to change her clothes, and then gently opened the door of her brother's room.

　　Her brother was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep. In order not to wake him up, Seele stood on tiptoe and even her breathing became light.

　　She gently closed the door again, walked cautiously to the bed, looked at her brother's still pale face and slightly wrinkled brows, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

　　The brother looks so weak, and it feels like I haven't seen him for a long time. When she thinks back, all she can see in her mind is the image of her brother standing in front of her with a smile on his face. It seems that with him around, Seele doesn't need to worry about any difficulties.

　　She bent down, lay on the edge of the bed, and slowly placed her warm palms on his face, trying to pass her warmth to her brother.

　　As if he really felt Seele's approach, Minamiya Yu's brows slowly relaxed.

　　Seeing this scene, Seele felt a little happy in her heart. Then she simply took off her shoes, lifted the thin quilt, and crawled in, hugging her brother's body skillfully and gently.

　　Looking at the cheek so close to her, her brother's warm breath slowly blew against her ear, making Seele feel itchy and her earlobes gradually turned red.

　　Then her sky-blue eyes stared at her dry lips. As soon as the thoughts came to her mind, her body put them into action.

　　She came forward and gently held his dry lips with her moist lips. Her deft tongue slowly outlined them, moistening them bit by bit.

　　After her upper and lower lips were completely moistened, Seele kissed them again reluctantly, then raised her head to look at her masterpiece, her rosy little face full of shy joy that could not be concealed.

　　Finally, she closed her eyes and whispered softly against her brother's forehead.

　　"Good night, brother."

Chapter 47 Hug

　　“The hit feedback is so hard to adjust.”

　　After the meeting with my fiancée, life at home gradually returned to normal.

　　In the studio, Bronya, who had been tortured by the same thing for three or four days, lay weakly on the table, while beside her, Minamiya Yu was still concentrating on adjusting the movements of the little man on the screen.

　　After deciding to make a Metroidvania-like game, "Hollow Knight" became Minamiya Yu's first choice. An inspiration born from a small game production competition, it became a classic stand-alone game in its previous life.

　　Until Minamiya Yu traveled through time, there were still a lot of people on the Internet asking when they could play Silk Song~

　　There are rumors every year, and the rumors are cancelled every year!

　　In fact, "Touhou Luna Night" is also good, but considering that there is no such IP as Touhou in the world, it was PASSED by Minamiya Yu. By the CM exhibition in winter this year, we can find a way to produce "Crimson Demon Village" first.

　　However, let’s not talk about what’s happening at the end of the year for now, and let’s return our focus to the games they are currently making.

　　As an action game, its sense of impact is naturally the top priority.

　　Before doing visual effects and auditory feedback, the first step is to get the action structure right, which is the most basic level.

　　Minamiya Yu is responsible for designing the various attack actions of the little knight, while Bronya is responsible for the feedback of monsters of different sizes after being hit.

　　A good sense of impact cannot be achieved out of thin air. It requires designers to make fine adjustments bit by bit. It is a rather boring and tedious process. Bronya has been tortured for several days in a row. Now she feels like vomiting when she sees the monster model.

　　"Aren't you tired?"

　　From the afternoon till now, except for dinner time, Minamiya Yu has basically maintained the same appearance. In Bronya's eyes, the movements of the little man are becoming more and more smooth and beautiful in his hands.

　　Minamiya Yu did not answer, but adjusted the ending stage of a complete movement, played it again several times to confirm that it was correct, then raised his hands and stretched, letting out a comfortable low moan in his throat.

　　“I’m tired.”

　　Twisting his neck, making a crisp crackling sound, Minamiya Yu looked at the ceiling and said with a smile.

　　"That......"

　　Just as Bronya was about to ask, she heard Minamiya Yu continue, "But don't you feel a sense of accomplishment watching the game get better little by little?"

　　Bronya understood what he meant, but she also needed to see improvements and get positive feedback. She had been adjusting it for three or four days, but it still looked awkward no matter how she looked at it. It was completely inferior to the smooth movements that Minamiya Yu had already mastered.

　　"Really? That's great."

　　Bronya sighed again and rubbed her head on her arm, her eyes full of fatigue.

　　"Since you are tired, take a rest."

　　"Um."

　　The lazy nasal sound attracted Minamiya Yu's attention, and he relaxed his body and looked at Bronya.

　　Her long silver curly hair was somewhat messy and casually spread out, and she wore a white short top on her upper body. She was lying there, revealing a slender, tight, and fair waist in her lower abdomen.

　　The full chest formed two arcs that were hard to ignore due to gravity. The tired expression wore away the strength he showed in the past. Looking at Minamiya Yu's absent-minded eyes, he revealed a hint of confusion.

　　At this moment, Bronya looked so weak that Minamiya Yu turned around and opened his arms to her.

　　"Um?"

　　Although he was puzzled by Minamiya Yu's actions, he stood up first and threw himself into that warm embrace.

　　"I think you need a hug now, don't you?"

　　The gentle voice sounded in her ears, like a clear spring flowing into her restless heart.

　　Closing her eyes comfortably and tightening her arms, Bronya rubbed his neck fondly, sniffing the warm breath with her nose, which was as comfortable as the warm sun in winter, allowing her to suppress the unpleasantness in game production.

　　Having let go of the charming feeling in his heart, Minamiya Yu hugged the soft and delicate body, raised his hand and gently touched her long hair, and tidied up the strands that were running wildly.

　　"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time. I've seen your progress, and you've done well enough."

　　The praise from her admirer soothed the last trace of impatience in Bronya's heart. Her tone seemed to be melted by Minamiya Yu, with a hint of grievance: "But I can't keep up with your progress..."

　　Of course I can’t keep up, because he is cheating.

　　After silently complaining in his heart, Minamiya Yu could only continue to comfort him: "The first time is always not so smooth sailing, instead of worrying about this, you might as well think about the trip to Europe tomorrow and think about something happy."

　　Without asking why Minamiya Yu was so skilled the first time, Bronya closed her eyes, hummed softly, and then lay on his chest with peace of mind. Her breathing gradually became even, as if she had fallen asleep.

　　Nearly half an hour passed like this, and when Minamiya Yu's whole body became a little stiff due to the pressure, Bronya finally opened her eyes again.

　　She seemed to be fully charged. After jumping off Minamiya Yu, she stretched hard, then hugged Minamiya Yu's neck from behind. The fatigue on her face was gone, and her voice was full of energy.

　　"I want to play games, play with me~"

　　Minamiya Yu's head was pushed up, and he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, what are we going to play?"

　　Hearing this, Bronya raised her lips and said expectantly, "Of course, let's have a thrilling Homunculus battle!"

　　As she said that, she let go of Minamiya Yu and knelt in front of the small cabinet where her things were kept. Then she stuck out her round buttocks wrapped in jeans and started rummaging in the cabinet.

　　Soon, she took out an old-fashioned game console that looked quite old.

　　"You still have this thing."

　　Standing behind her, Minamiya Yu looked at what Bronya took out with surprise.

　　"Of course, this is something very important to me."

　　After wiping off a little dust on it, Bronya connected the old square plastic shell game console to the monitor, and then took out a yellow cartridge from a beautifully packaged box. On the cartridge was printed a picture of Homu's silly smiley face.

　　"How about it, do you dare to come?"

　　After connecting the handle, Bronya sat directly on the ground, handed him another handle, and raised her eyebrows provocatively.

　　"Tsk, how could I not dare."

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu picked up the handle and sat next to Bronya.

　　"It's boring to play straight away, how about we make a bet?"

　　"Tell me about it."

　　"It's simple. If you lose, I'll kiss you."

　　Instantly, Minamiya Yu's heartbeat quickened, and he quickly asked, "What if I win?"

　　Hearing this, Bronya smiled at him: "Stupid, of course you kiss me~"

　　Squeak, squeak.

　　The hinges of the iron door made sporadic noises, indicating that this isolated orphanage was once again connected to the silvery world outside.

　　Unfortunately, the hinges soon made a sad sound again, and the door closed tightly, politely rejecting the warm affection of the cold wind.

　　"Dean Cocolia, you're back!"

　　The old doorman walked out of the small, warm room, holding a cup of freshly boiled hot water in his hand. However, when he saw the dean holding the hand of a little figure he had never seen before, he paused, thought for a moment, and went back to bring out a cup.

　　"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. You should go and have a rest."

　　Although she was honored as the dean, Cocolia looked like a beautiful girl in her twenties. Her long golden curly hair was tied into a ponytail, and her thick winter coat concealed her beautiful body. On her pretty face, her bright purple eyes showed the competence unique to young people.

　　She released the little girl's hand, reached out to take the two cups of hot water, and smiled gently at the doorman whom she had known for a long time.

　　The doorman waved his hand indifferently, glanced at the silent little girl beside him, and returned to his little room alone without saying a word.

　　After a while, the noise at the door naturally attracted the aunt who was in charge of the orphanage. After seeing the person coming, Cocolia smiled and waved to her, and with a simple greeting, she asked her to gather all the children to the yard.

　　Soon, the yard, which was originally deserted due to the cold, became noisy.

　　Looking at these lively and cute little kids, as well as some cute little ones surrounding her legs and calling her "Cocolia Mommy", a warm smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her lips.

　　After rubbing the heads of a few close little ones, Cocolia pushed out the little girl who had been standing behind her.

　　"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce the new family members of our orphanage."

　　She clapped her hands to attract the little ones' attention, and then she turned her gaze to the group of curious little ones.

　　"New friend!"

　　"Who is it~"

　　"Silver hair is so beautiful..."

　　After saying the name of the girl with silver twin pigtails next to her, Cocolia gently pushed her forward and asked her to try to blend in with the children.

　　Then, she turned her eyes around, but surprisingly did not find the figure she was looking forward to among the little bean.

　　Suppressing her doubts, she gave a few instructions to a few aunties, and after confirming that there were no major problems, she led the person in charge towards the office.

　　"Where's the kid?"

　　As soon as she entered the door, Cocolia asked with a frown.

　　As if he already knew what Cocolia was going to ask, the supervisor shook his head and said helplessly, "He is sick and is lying on the bed in the bedroom."

　　"Get ill?!"

　　The frown disappeared and Cocolia asked back in a panic.

　　"It's just a cold from the cold, Dean, don't worry too much."

　　"I have a cold."

　　Hearing this, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief, but soon asked in confusion: "Although the orphanage is not rich, it should not be so cold that the children will suffer. How did the child catch a cold?"

　　“This one~”

　　The supervisor suddenly laughed, and his voice changed into a different tone: "That kid is really amazing~"

　　Cocolia: “?”

　　The warm fire was burning, reflecting Cocolia's somewhat puzzled expression.

　　......

　　"You mean that bastard didn't sleep in the middle of the night and took Seele out with a quilt to watch the stars?!"

　　Is he sick?!

　　Cocolia was trying hard to suppress the urge to curse, her face full of black lines.

　　"Yeah, tsk tsk tsk, at such a young age, he knows how to do this. When he grows up, he will be amazing~"

　　"I think it's just because he doesn't have enough homework and training, so he has nothing to do!"

　　"Can't we just be born romantic? At least, we don't have to worry about this child's marriage in the future, right?"

　　"......"

　　Rubbing her head, Cocolia gave up arguing with the aunt supervisor. She knew how much this girl doted on those children, otherwise, she would not trust her to take care of the children.

　　"Forget it, let me tell you about the current financial situation of the orphanage."

　　Seeing that he was talking about business, the supervisor's expression straightened and he became serious: "To be honest, it's not ideal..."

　　Then, she told Cocolia in detail about the various expenses of the little ones recently, as well as the salaries of the orphanage staff and various miscellaneous expenses. Finally, she had a trace of worry on her face, sighed and said, "If this continues, by the beginning of next spring, our funds will not be able to support us, and you, the director, keep bringing children back."

　　"Don't worry, as long as we hold on for a while, we won't have to worry about this anymore."

　　"Um?"

　　Cocolia's confident voice interrupted her thoughts, causing the supervisor to look at her in surprise.

　　There was confidence in the young man's purple eyes, and a faint aura of a superior emerged.

　　"You mean?" The supervisor had a guess and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

　　"It's just what you think."

　　The calm words made the supervisor's face show ecstasy, and she kept saying, "Great, great, now I don't have to worry about the children."

　　"Okay, things are almost done. I'm going to go check on that bastard Yu. Really, he's so old but he still makes me worry."

　　"Yes, yes, I know you are closest to that child, go quickly~"

　　Not caring about what her supervisor said, she waved her hand and walked out the door.

　　She is not a saint, so naturally she has some preferences in her heart. Just don't let other children hear it.

　　"That's right."

　　Just as Cocolia was about to go out, the supervisor suddenly called her.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Seeing Cocolia's puzzled expression, the supervisor smiled and said, "There may be surprises in the upcoming scene, so be prepared."

　　"surprise?"

　　Seeing that the supervisor didn't want to say it clearly, Cocolia didn't care. She opened the door and walked out.

　　After walking through the long corridor, she soon arrived at a door with cute graffiti painted on it.

　　After thinking about it, she didn't knock on the door, but gently turned the door open and walked in.

　　Since the child is sick, it would be better not to disturb his rest.

　　Although she said that before, when it comes to that child, she is definitely the one with the softest heart.

　　The room was quite quiet, with only the crackling of the wood in the fire, bringing a numbing warmth and sound.

　　Her sight naturally shifted to the bed, and when she saw the little figure sleeping on her side, Cocolia could no longer conceal the tenderness on her lips.

　　She tiptoed to the bedside, removing her sharp edge towards outsiders and leaving only endless tenderness for the sleeping child.

　　Her short black hair was still neat, and her cute little face no longer had the mischievous look it once had even after falling asleep, which made Cocolia unable to help but stretch out her green fingers to touch her still chubby cheek.

　　His face was rosy and he slept peacefully. It seemed that his cold had gotten better.

　　Noticing that he shook his little head in his sleep, Cocolia couldn't help but chuckle.

　　Suddenly, her smile stopped and she felt something was wrong.

　　Why is this quilt so bulging? Is this child so fat?

　　still......

　　Thinking of this, Cocolia gently lifted a corner of the quilt, and soon, the scene inside made her breath stop.

　　I saw that the little boy was holding a little girl with short black and blue hair tightly in his arms. The girl looked petite and cute, with red eyes as if she had been crying. She fell asleep in the little boy's arms with peace of mind and affection.

　　But if it were just that, behind the little boy, there were two equally cute little heads, one pink and one blue, resting on his back, one above and one below, and they looked very close.

　　Cocolia's face darkened visibly.

　　Suddenly, she remembered the surprise her supervisor had reminded her of before she left.

　　"hehe......"

　　A faint sneer sounded in the air, and Cocolia looked at the boy with a sharper gaze.

　　It’s better not to have such a surprise!

　　Soon, she raised her hand to the boy.

　　......

　　"Brother, does it still hurt here?"

　　Seele, the cute little girl with short black and blue hair in the boy's arms just now, was now lying on the edge of the bed, looking at the boy lying on the bed with a sad face.

　　The two behind were Rosalia and Lilia. They had already quickly run away when they saw the situation was not good.

　　The soft and sticky sound made the boy who wanted to cry out in pain immediately shut his mouth, his face red, he clenched his teeth, and looked indignant.

　　I was sleeping soundly just now, but suddenly I was beaten. Who can bear this?

　　"That old woman, I will definitely take revenge on her when I grow up!"

　　Hearing this, Seele's face suddenly became flustered. She quickly grabbed her brother's arm and said timidly again: "Don't say that to Cocolia's mother, she will be angry..."

　　If he gets angry, his brother will be beaten again.

　　"I'm afraid of her?!"

　　Teenagers are the most fearless and have no understanding of the huge gap between adults and children. The little boy named Yu wanted to get up and throw a set of turtle punches, but his butt hurt so much that he had to give up.

　　Noticing that her brother was gasping in pain, Seele moved closer again and stretched out her little hand to grab his butt: "Brother, let Seele rub it for you. Seele has heard the aunts often say that rubbing the painful area will make it feel much better."

　　"no!"

　　Seeing Seele's little paw reaching out, Yu quickly shrank back inside.

　　Being avoided again, Seele suddenly felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother, don't you like Seele anymore?"

　　Seeing that Seele was about to cry, Yu suddenly panicked.

　　Of course he didn't hate Seele. The one who had the best relationship with him in the whole orphanage was Seele, who followed him every day and called him brother sweetly. There was a reason why he didn't let him touch her.

　　He is already eight years old and a man. How can a real man let others touch his butt?

　　"Seele, there's a reason why I don't let you touch me!"

　　"reason?"

　　Seele opened her big watery eyes and looked at him aggrievedly, waiting for an explanation.

　　"The reason, the reason is..."

　　He was too embarrassed to say out loud what he was thinking, but soon an idea flashed through his mind, and he suddenly recalled a line from a comic book he had just dreamed of. His expression immediately became serious: "Seele!"

　　"Why?!"

　　Seeing her brother's appearance, Seele subconsciously held her breath.

　　He took a deep breath and said seriously: "The scars on your back are a man's shame!"

　　"......?"

　　A series of question marks hit Seele's head, making her eyes full of confusion. After a long time, she stumbled and responded: "So, brother doesn't hate Seele, it's just because of that, the scars before and after..."

　　"The scars behind you!"

　　Yu couldn't help but correct her.

　　"Well, then, from now on Seele will stand behind brother and protect him from behind!"

　　"Um!"

　　Seeing Seele's attention shifted away, Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

　　......

　　In a blink of an eye, two days passed, Yu's cold was completely gone, his buttocks didn't hurt anymore, and his mind suddenly became active again.

　　"Seele, I heard there's a new person here recently?"

　　In the restaurant at noon, Yu scooped up rice and talked to Seele while eating.

　　"Um."

　　Seele nodded slightly, swallowed the soup in her mouth, and then carefully pointed her finger in a direction.

　　Over there, a silver-haired girl with twin ponytails was sitting quietly in the corner. She looked very cute, but her face had an expression that said "no strangers allowed" so there was no one around to eat with her.

　　"Come on, Seele, let's go get to know him."

　　As he spoke, he picked up his half-eaten plate and walked over first.

　　Seeing this, Seele hurriedly picked up her own portion and followed her brother like a little follower.

　　despair.

　　Yu put the plate on the table, looked at the little girl who didn't react at all, and said cheerfully: "Hello, I'm Minamiya Yu, this is Seele Fuleai, can we be friends?"

　　Unexpectedly, the girl still didn't react at all. She finished her own portion, then picked up the empty plate and left.

　　Naturally, Yu's behavior was laughed at by many of his friends. He blushed and retorted a few times, then ignored them, quickly finished his meal, and pulled Seele away.

　　"Brother, Seele didn't know she would be like this..."

　　"Don't worry, it's not Seele's fault."

　　After comforting the girl who felt a little apologetic, Yu started to think.

　　The more someone ignored him, the more he wanted to get to know him, and soon, an idea that seemed brilliant to him came up.

　　"Seele!"

　　"Um?"

　　"I have a plan!"

　　......

　　Late at night, a slight creaking sound of a door opening was suddenly heard in the quiet orphanage.

　　Soon, Yu poked his head out, looked around to see that there was no one around, then walked out of the room with confidence. Then, he waved towards the open door.

　　After a few seconds, the timid Seele also took it out.

　　Minamiya Yu led the way, with Seele following behind him. Seeing how skilled they were, it was obvious that they were repeat offenders. No one knew how Seele, such an obedient and good child, was turned into this way by her good brother step by step.

　　They groped their way along and soon came to a house that had just been occupied.

　　"Seele."

　　He whispered, and Seele nodded, handing him the small package in her arms.

　　When the small package was opened, there were many strange little tools inside. He didn't seem to fiddle with them at all, but with a click, the lock of the window was opened.

　　In the room, the girl who was sleeping lightly opened her eyes instantly.

　　She did not move, but glanced at the slowly opening window with the corner of her eye. Her hand in the quilt had quietly clenched the dagger that she had deliberately hidden on her body.

　　Are there enemies?

　　However, when the girl noticed the person coming through the light outside, she was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then closed her eyes again.

　　Tap, boom!

　　"Woo~"

　　The little girl following the boy seemed to have fallen, but she tried hard not to sob.

　　What do they want to do?

　　The girl was puzzled. She did not take the initiative to attack, but just concentrated and held the dagger tightly.

　　If there is hostility, she will fight back without hesitation.

　　Da da da.

　　The footsteps were approaching the bed, and the girl's body was gradually tensing up.

　　What surprised her was that when she was a little closer to the bed, the footsteps suddenly stopped and a not-so-loud voice called out, "Hey, wake up, wake up quickly."

　　She opened her eyes at the right time and looked at him without any fluctuation.

　　"Wake up, do you want to do something happy together?"

　　"?"

　　The girl was puzzled.

　　"Seele, are you done?"

　　The boy glanced back and urged.

　　"Done, done."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light suddenly lit up in the room, and there was a hissing sound as if an electric current was connected.

　　"No time to explain, come on!"

　　Under the girl's shocked gaze, the boy pulled her up. She wanted to break free, but was surprised to find that she couldn't.

　　The cold light in his hand had not yet appeared before it was easily snatched away and thrown aside.

　　She was really shocked.

　　"What's so fun about this thing? Come here, I'll teach you something more fun."

　　Looking at the sharp dagger with disdain, Yu pushed the girl to the ground, and he sat beside her.

　　"No, take this."

　　Looking at the white square object handed to her, which had many strange little buttons on it, the girl spoke for the first time: "What is this?"

　　"So you can talk."

　　Glancing at the girl, Yu patiently explained: "This thing is called a handle, it's a great thing~"

　　"I'll teach you the specific operation right away, Seele, insert cassette number one."

　　"OK!"

　　Like a little soldier following orders, Seele followed her brother's orders, took out a yellow box, and inserted it into the small box in front of the TV in front of them.

　　Soon, a blurry pixelated image appeared on the small screen, along with a clear and crisp sound that made the girl's heart beat.

Chapter 46 Returning Home

　　Two hours, thirty-seven minutes and fifty-two seconds had passed since my brother left home.

　　Looking at the time displayed on the phone, Seele thought a little dazedly.

　　It was getting quieter and quieter outside. There were originally one or two pedestrians walking around, but now they have all disappeared. Outside the window, the stars are twinkling and the bright moon is casting a cold light.

　　Sitting alone on the sofa, even though it was already summer, Seele still shrank her body.

　　The chat message on the phone was from two hours ago. She opened the chat box belonging to her brother, wrote a few words and deleted them. After repeating this several times, Seele sighed and threw the phone on the sofa.

　　On the TV in the living room, the dedicated comedians were still trying their best to make the audience laugh. In the past, Seele couldn't help laughing at the pranks, but now she didn't want to watch them anymore. The noise coming from the speakers made her already restless heart even more difficult to calm down.

　　"You shouldn't have let him pass, you idiot!"

　　In her mind, the other self said this sentence for the thirteenth time since her brother left. At first, Seele would explain a few words, but then she didn't want to say anything more.

　　Biting her lower lip, Seele murmured slowly: "Brother will come back."

　　"You idiot, I've already told you... Wait, what are you thinking about, idiot Seele?!!"

　　"Brother will come back..."

　　As if she didn't hear the voice of her other self, Seele murmured again with her eyes a little empty.

　　"......"

　　Black Seele suddenly felt that Seele might be a little too extreme.

　　On the other side, on the second floor.

　　Sitting at her own workstation, Bronya just couldn't get on with her work.

　　The code that had originally sorted out her thoughts was now twisted into a tangled mess in her mind.

　　Without the familiar figure by her side, even the ticking sound of the clock on the wall made her feel irritated.

　　How did you get here when you were alone before?

　　Bronya didn't want to know. She only knew that Minamiya Yu's absence made it impossible for her to calm down.

　　She said she didn't care, but when it came down to it, she cared a lot.

　　She wrote and deleted lines of code on the screen, until there were even two fewer lines than at the beginning. Bronya became even more annoyed and simply closed the program and opened her favorite game.

　　However, the Homu's Adventure that used to fascinate her no longer aroused her much interest. She failed to even defeat an ordinary elite monster due to her mechanical operation.

　　Looking at the dimmed screen, Bronya lowered her eyes and put down the controller.

　　Is it because the other controller is unattended? Or...

　　Forget it, Seele is probably alone down there, so call her up to play with us.

　　At this moment, there was an obvious sound of a door opening. Bronya stood up quickly, forgetting to put on slippers, and ran all the way to the stairs and stuck her head down.

　　"Brother, welcome home~"

　　The moment she heard the door lock turn, Seele's originally gloomy expression instantly became energetic. She didn't care about the ongoing conversation with her other self. She clicked her little slippers and appeared at the entrance on time when Minamiya Yu opened the door.

　　"Well, I'm back~"

　　Seele's sweet smile washed away Minamiya Yu's distracting thoughts, and then Seele took the initiative to take off his coat and change his shoes.

　　However, after getting close to Minamiya Yu, the scent on him that didn't belong to any home made Seele frown slightly, and her two little hands directly pulled up his tight shirt.

　　"Brother, your clothes are dirty. Seele will help you wash them."

　　"Not really. I just changed it this afternoon."

　　"Seele will help you wash!"

　　That serious little expression made Minamiya Yu swallow his words of refusal. He let go of his body and let Seele take off his clothes.

　　"Pants too?"

　　"Well, it's best to wash together!"

　　"Wait, wait, we're still in the living room, don't take my underwear off!!!"

　　In the end, with Minamiya Yu's resolute resistance, he finally maintained his last line of defense. Seele, with a hint of regret, ran to the washing machine with the clothes in her arms.

　　I threw my brother's clothes into the machine without caring whether machine washing would damage the clothes. Then I picked up the detergent and poured half a bottle into the filling tank.

　　Seeing the foam gradually rolling up and covering the clothes, Seele nodded with satisfaction.

　　In the living room, after being stripped naked, Minamiya Yu hurried upstairs to change clothes, but at the stairs he was blocked by Bronya who was staring at him intently.

　　"Bronya?"

　　Wondering what the person on the other side was thinking about, Minamiya Yu patted her shoulder and called out in confusion.

　　"ah?"

　　The eyes that were wandering around Minamiya Yu were pulled back. Bronya coughed awkwardly twice, then asked casually: "Why did you come back so late?"

　　"There was a small accident. The girl across the street got her hand scalded by boiling water, so I helped her deal with it. But you..."

　　Minamiya Yu lowered her head and along the half-smooth calf, she could see the white jade feet stepping on the wooden floor.

　　Blue veins can be vaguely seen on the crystal clear instep, the lines are elegant, the ankles are slender and soft, and the exquisite toes are painted with light blue nail polish. Judging from the color, it should be the same as Seele's.

　　How can food be placed on the ground? Minamiya Yu sighed secretly in his heart.

　　"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

　　"Shoes? Oh, it's too hot."

　　After Minamiya Yu's reminder, Bronya realized that she had forgotten to wear shoes, and she made up an excuse without much thought.

　　"Okay, let me go get some clothes and take a shower."

　　Asking Bronya to make way, Minamiya Yu quickly took out her home clothes from the house and ran quickly into the bathroom.

　　During this period, Bronya's eyes were basically fixed on Minamiya Yu. It was obviously not obvious when she was wearing clothes, but she didn't expect that she would be so good after taking off her clothes. This figure and muscles made Bronya secretly smack her lips.

　　Suddenly, I seemed to be a little envious of Seele.

　　And that night, Seele became even more clingy.

Chapter 45: Changes in Mentality

　　The night was growing deeper and deeper, and the bright moonlight shone through the screen window, illuminating Kaguya's trembling expression.

　　The calm smile she always maintained, at this moment, finally became a little dull.

　　"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. What's the name of your game, sir?"

　　"To the Moon."

　　Minamiya Yu repeated the sentence again.

　　The bastard who made her lose all her efforts is really you!!

　　Kaguya only felt a surge of blood rushing up, and her eyes seemed a little dark.

　　The person who made her lose the chance of freedom ended up becoming her husband by accident. This dramatic result made Kaguya not know whether to be angry or cry.

　　The raised palm ignored the steaming teacup on the table.

　　With a clang.

　　"ah!"

　　The teacup in front of Kaguya was knocked over, and the light blue tea spilled all over the table. Some of it also splashed onto Kaguya's hand, making her frown in pain.

　　"Are you okay?"

　　The tea in the cup was still a little hot, so Minamiya Yu immediately came over to Kaguya and grabbed her wrist.

　　The originally fair back of her hand was now completely red. Without saying too much, Minamiya Yu directly pulled her up from her position.

　　"Where is the cool water?"

　　Feeling the attitude that could not be refused, Kaguya opened her mouth and then silently pointed in a direction.

　　Then, Minamiya Yu pulled her wrist and quickly led her to the bathroom.

　　Although it was a traditional Japanese-style room, the layout of the bathroom was quite modern. Minamiya Yu didn't pay much attention to the contrast. He simply put Kaguya's red back of the hand in the sink and turned the cold water to the maximum.

　　After being washed by the cold tap water, Kaguya's frown finally relaxed a little.

　　The bathroom was not very big, and the two bodies were almost pressed together in the small space.

　　The masculine scent that hit her made Kaguya feel quite uncomfortable. For the first time, her voice was shy: "Thank you..."

　　"Why are you so careless?"

　　Because the sense of déjà vu was too strong, Minamiya Yu subconsciously used the tone he used to teach the children in the orphanage.

　　Every time they did something that hurt themselves, Minamiya Yu would say this while helping them clean up the mess.

　　Kaguya felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. What should she say? Was it because she was so mad at you?

　　"I am just......"

　　Originally, Kaguya wanted to find an excuse to deal with it, but when she raised her head and saw the undisguised concern in Minamiya Yu's stern expression, she subconsciously stopped what she wanted to say and just looked into his eyes, silent.

　　At this time, Minamiya Yu also realized that Kaguya was not one of those little kids in the orphanage, but his fiancée who was two years older than him.

　　He swallowed the words of blame that he was about to say, especially the ambiguous gaze that was staring at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

　　"Well, what I mean is that you must pay attention and take care of your body."

　　The concerned gaze that quickly dodged made Kaguya feel a little pity in her heart, and then she nodded obediently, showing a hint of weakness in front of Minamiya Yu for the first time: "Well, I know."

　　The air became quiet again. In the silent night, the sound of running water covered up the intermittent chirping of insects. In the small bathroom, Minamiya Yu could clearly smell the intoxicating fragrance emanating from Kaguya.

　　Kaguya seemed to have realized something as well. She lowered her head, and quietly pressed her body against Minamiya Yu's. She stood on the inside away from the door. Her breathing became a little rapid, and she looked like she would not resist no matter what Minamiya Yu did.

　　But Minamiya Yu naturally couldn't do anything to Kaguya in this state. He opened the bathroom door completely and let the cool night breeze blow away the beauty in the room.

　　"Is there a medical kit in the bedroom?"

　　"Yeah, it's in the cupboard near the door."

　　"Okay, I'll get it. You stay here for a while. Remember not to move."

　　Walking out of the bathroom, the cool air suppressed the restlessness of adolescence, and Minamiya Yu immediately felt much better.

　　Following Kaguya's instructions, he quickly found the medicine box in the drawer, took out the burn ointment and gauze, and then returned to the bathroom.

　　Kaguya stood there obediently, still washing herself with cold water.

　　After letting her wait for about twenty minutes, Minamiya Yu turned off the faucet, then gently wiped the water stains on her hands with a towel and pulled her to sit on the edge of the corridor.

　　"It might hurt a little."

　　Minamiya Yu squeezed some burn ointment onto his fingertips and said with some comfort.

　　"Yeah, it's okay."

　　With Kaguya's consent, Minamiya Yu carefully applied the solution on her wound.

　　The moonlight sprinkled down, and in Kaguya's eyes, he was covered with a layer of white silver gauze. He held his hands as if he was applying the paint very seriously, and he didn't even seem to know that she was secretly observing him.

　　Time slowly flowed in this quiet and gentle interaction. After applying the ointment and bandaging it with gauze, Minamiya Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's fine now. Remember not to get it wet and eat less spicy food recently. The burn this time is not serious and will not leave scars on your hands."

　　"It's getting late."

　　Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Minamiya Yu supported Ruyuan and stood up.

　　"Then I will..."

　　"I should go back now."

　　Kaguya paused and looked up at him in confusion.

　　"go back?"

　　"Yes, go home, there are people waiting for me at home."

　　With a smile on his face, Minamiya Yu stretched, then turned his back to Kaguya and waved: "See you next time, my lovely fiancée~"

　　"etc!"

　　Some hurried voices were approaching quickly from behind him, and Minamiya Yu turned around following the voice.

　　"How... um..."

　　It was like starlight passing by, dotted on his lips, and the soft feeling of separation at the touch made Minamiya Yu stare at the scene in a daze.

　　"In that case, why not give me a nice goodbye kiss? My handsome fiancé~"

　　Their bright eyes met each other and Kaguya blinked at him cutely.

　　Then she put her hands behind her back, jumped lightly and took two steps back, and gave him the sweetest smile of the night. This was the first time she looked like a naughty girl, and her cute expression made his heart beat faster.

　　It was not until he got into Reisen's car that he was awakened by the incessant sound of whistles on the street.

　　But when I close my eyes, that sweet smile still emerges.

　　He may never forget this scene.

　　On the other side, after watching Minamiya Yu's figure disappear, Kaguya raised her hand and gently stroked her lips. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile.

　　How adorable, my husband's reaction.

　　In one night, the mindset of a princess who had already accepted her fate quietly changed.

　　But...

　　Recalling the gentle smile that rose on the corners of her husband's mouth when he mentioned going home, Kaguya's originally raised lips slowly calmed down.

　　Family?

　　This is really enviable...

Chapter 44: Husband, am I beautiful?

　　Ahhhh, what are you talking about!!!

　　The master clearly just asked me to give a hint to the prince consort, so why did I say everything that was in my heart? ! !

　　Reisen now just wants to dig a hole and bury herself. No, if her master knew what she said, she probably wouldn't have to do it herself.

　　Minamiya Yu was also shocked.

　　No, is it such a big deal on our first meeting?

　　"Well, that, I, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

　　Obviously she wanted to make amends, Reisen spoke nervously, stumbling over and over. Unfortunately, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete sentence. In the end, she could only get out of the car with her head down, and then came to Minamiya Yu's side to help him open the door.

　　Seeing her autistic appearance, Minamiya Yu couldn't bear to say anything more, and just asked casually: "By the way, do you know Eirin Yagokoro?"

　　Hearing this familiar name, Reisen, who had been shutting herself in, suddenly raised her head and responded in surprise: "Do you know the master?"

　　If the prince consort was really acquainted with the master, would the princess not be bullied?

　　"No, I just heard about it."

　　Waving his hand, Minamiya Yu said nothing more and walked into the courtyard in front of him.

　　Although the courtyard is located in the suburbs of the city, there are basically many luxurious courtyards like this nearby, so the security force is also quite strong.

　　As you walk through the door, you will be greeted by an exquisitely built courtyard with stone paths paved on the ground forming winding passages. Further ahead is a traditional Japanese-style building connected by a corridor, with a hip roof, deep eaves, and the highly recognizable elevated floor.

　　Just as he was looking at the scenery inside, Reisen quickly stepped forward and came in front of him.

　　"I'll take you to the master bedroom. The princess is waiting for you there."

　　"Master bedroom?"

　　Straight into the bedroom?

　　"Yeah, yeah, what's the problem?"

　　"......without."

　　Reisen breathed a sigh of relief and began to lead the way with Minamiya Yu.

　　Sir, this way!

　　Minamiya Yu, who was following behind, silently dubbed for Reisen.

　　In order to be closer, Reisen did not lead them through the main hall, but went straight across the cobblestone path and up the stairs to the corridor.

　　“Does this yard have a name?”

　　While walking slowly, Minamiya Yu asked out of boredom.

　　"Hmm... yes, although the princess hasn't moved in for a few days, she seems to have already given this place a name. I remember it was called Eientei."

　　"......"

　　Coincidence after coincidence made him realize that this was indeed the Kaguya he remembered.

　　However, judging from the situation along the way, it is highly likely that there is no supernatural power, and Kaguya does not have the bug-like power of eternity and moment.

　　Soon, Reisen stopped.

　　"The princess is inside. I won't bother you anymore."

　　Reisen bowed slightly to Minamiya Yu, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave.

　　In front of him was a not-so-small Japanese-style room, and Minamiya Yu was standing in front of the room's intricately carved wooden door.

　　He took a step forward and knocked gently on the door.

　　"Come in."

　　A cool and pleasant voice sounded in the room. Minamiya Yu put his hand on the door handle and gently pushed the door open.

　　......

　　"I am not talented, so I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

　　The layout of the Japanese-style room was simple and elegant. Apart from a table, a desk and a few cabinets, there was nothing extra. On the comfortable tatami, a black-haired girl in a kimono was kneeling in front of Minamiya Yu and bowing to him respectfully.

　　"You'd better sit up."

　　He did not judge whether this behavior was good or bad, he was just not used to this kind of etiquette.

　　He bent down and tried to help Kaguya up, and Kaguya, who heard the voice, also slowly stood up with her hands.

　　At this moment, Minamiya Yu finally saw Kaguya's appearance.

　　How to put it? Although I have seen the photos, the real meeting still filled Minamiya Yu's heart with amazement.

　　Her long black hair flutters like a waterfall, her soft cheeks are delicate and pretty, with the unique oriental charm, gentle as jade yet delicate as a flower, and her blinking eyes are as lively as water, which makes people intoxicated.

　　Just looking at it, everything around seemed to become quiet.

　　Noticing that Minamiya Yu was a little dazed because of her, Kaguya smiled slightly.

　　She sat up straight and moved closer to Minamiya Yu. She raised her head slightly and slowly pushed the hair on her forehead with her fingertips. A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks. She looked directly into Minamiya Yu's eyes and said slowly in a voice as light as a lark: "My husband, am I beautiful?"

　　Minamiya Yu did not answer, but her silence said a lot.

　　Kaguya's smile became more obvious again, and then she raised her head, showing off her swan-like neck, and slowly closed her eyes.

　　Looking at this attitude of asking for whatever one wants, Minamiya Yu's Adam's apple rolled.

　　......

　　“It’s really an amazing feeling.”

　　She gently touched her moist lips with her fingers, and her eyes were filled with amorous glances.

　　To be honest, the current situation is much better than Kaguya had expected, and she doesn't hate this gentle possession.

　　After all, she has already put the other party in the position of her husband. Her education since childhood makes her think that there is nothing wrong in doing such things. She even thinks it is reasonable for Minamiya Yu to be a little impatient and take her all for himself.

　　Kaguya has always had the utmost confidence in her appearance.

　　Minamiya Yu was not used to kneeling so he sat cross-legged opposite her. To be honest, he did feel a little awkward now. It was the first time they met and they hadn't even spoken yet, but he had already snatched her first kiss. It was completely beyond his expectations.

　　Then, Kaguya picked up the teapot and served Minamiya Yu a cup of freshly brewed tea.

　　"Please."

　　"Thanks."

　　Minamiya Yu had just thanked him and taken the teacup when she heard Kaguya say unintentionally, "My husband seems to be very familiar with what happened just now."

　　Although she was very skilled, Kaguya could clearly feel that her husband was probably the same as herself, and had never experienced that kind of thing. And after seeing too many intrigues in big families, her husband's character was as pure as a blank sheet of paper to her.

　　This is really the best SSR I've ever drawn. The slight fear of marriage also dissipated at this moment.

　　Minamiya Yu's hand holding the teacup shook and he almost lost his grip.

　　Nonsense, I practice it on Seele every day, how could I not be proficient in it?

　　But, there was no way to respond to this, so Minamiya Yu pretended not to hear it and drank his tea in silence.

　　Kaguya didn't care and started to lead the conversation.

　　First, they chatted about their respective situations. When they felt that their husbands were more relaxed, they went into more depth: "Husband, is there anything you want to do in the future?"

　　"What do you want to do? I think it should be making games."

　　Without much hesitation, Minamiya Yu said it directly.

　　"Game?!!"

　　Kaguya's eyes lit up. What a coincidence! She liked it too.

　　"Well, although I said that, I'm actually already doing it now. I even participated in St. Freya's mini-game festival before."

　　After all, she was his fiancée, so Minamiya Yu didn't hide it from her.

　　"Oh? I know a little bit about these. Can you tell me about your game, my husband?"

　　Restraining the excitement in her heart, Kaguya tightened her toes in anticipation.

　　"Well, it's a story-based pixel game called "To the Moon"."

　　Kaguya: “?”

Chapter 43: 'Dining Table Meeting'

　　"Oh~ So generous?"

　　"It's nothing. On the one hand, it can give our new company a good reputation. On the other hand, it can shut up some black people..."

　　While eating, Minamiya Yu analyzed the pros and cons of donating.

　　Cocolia just looked at him with a smile and didn't respond. At the end, after he finished speaking, she added, "So, what's the truth?"

　　Minamiya Yu paused for a moment while picking up the vegetables, and then sneered, "Because I am willing, I donated it, is that not okay?"

　　"I didn't say no."

　　Now is clearly the accumulation stage of business, and the cash flow that has been hard-earned in the account should not be spent casually. However, the son said that he is happy with it, so what can I do as a mother?

　　"Bronya, what about you?"

　　Bronya, who was drinking soup, was called out. She put down the bowl and looked a little puzzled: "You earned your own money, why are you asking me how you want to spend it?"

　　"Tsk tsk tsk, you are being polite. This is our company's property. As the third largest shareholder, you have the right to make the final decision."

　　The current largest shareholder of Gensokyo Company is Anti-Entropy Entertainment, which holds a 50% stake, but it only participates in dividends and not in management. Minamiya Yu holds 20%, and Seele and Bronya each hold 15%.

　　However, because Minamiya Yu and the other two are still studying, someone arranged by Cocolia will take charge of the company, and Minamiya Yu and Bronya will only be responsible for making games.

　　As for why they gave up so many shares, it was of course because it was nice to be under a big tree. They can now be completely regarded as a subsidiary of Anti-Entropy Entertainment, and basically no competitors dare to trip them up in secret.

　　Just like Minamiya Yu won the first place in this mini-game festival, and there has been no public opinion throwing bad water on his game so far.

　　"That's fine with me."

　　Waving her hands, Bronya continued to struggle with the food on the table.

　　"Where is Seele?" Minamiya Yu turned his gaze to Seele again.

　　"Seele agrees too!"

　　Raising her head happily, Seele looked at her brother with shining eyes.

　　The carefree look on her brother's face when he said "I'm willing" just now was so handsome. Seele decided to hug her brother and rub him tightly at night.

　　"Okay, the first shareholders' meeting of Gensokyo Company has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you to Ms. Cocolia, the representative of Anti-Entropy Entertainment, and Ms. Bronya and Ms. Seele, the shareholders of the group, for participating. Let us look forward to meeting you next time~"

　　Minamiya Yu's funny voice made several people laugh. Cocolia nodded his head and said helplessly: "I will arrange for my men to draft a donation agreement for you later. Remember to sign it."

　　"no problem!"

　　Patting his chest, Minamiya Yu made a promise, and then he said: "In order to commemorate this significant first meeting, how about we call it the 'dining table meeting'?"

　　“I don’t think it sounds good.”

　　"Seele thinks it's okay!"

　　"......"

　　Bronya and Seele looked at each other, then spoke in unison.

　　“I suddenly feel like I’m okay.”

　　"Seele thinks we should change it."

　　"......"

　　Looking at each other again, they both couldn't help but laugh.

　　The atmosphere became cheerful, and after lunch, the three of them accompanied Cocolia to go shopping after a long absence.

　　Bronya and Seele each held one arm of Cocolia, and they walked tirelessly in front, pointing and talking at the shops on both sides of the street. Occasionally, when they saw something they liked, they would go in and take a look around.

　　Minamiya Yu followed behind with the bag, and at the same time, he was secretly admiring the woman's abundant energy while shopping.

　　It was because of his good health and sufficient exercise that he could barely keep up with the three women without falling behind. Along the way, he saw countless men sitting on the sofas in clothing stores with bags and tired faces.

　　Seeing him carrying a lot of bags, everyone looked at him with pity.

　　The shadows beneath them gradually lengthened, and when they were about to merge with the dim environment, the three people finally stopped.

　　"It's almost time, I should go."

　　The special car that was going to pick up Cocolia had been waiting for nearly an hour. Cocolia cherished the time spent with the children very much and waited until the special plane was about to take off before saying goodbye to the children.

　　"So fast..."

　　There was reluctance in Seele and Bronya's eyes, and Minamiya Yu stood side by side with them, silent.

　　"It's not like we won't see each other anymore. You still have to go back to the orphanage during the New Year."

　　Cocolia said this, then waved her hand and called Seele and Bronya to her side. After looking at Minamiya Yu who looked a little puzzled, she leaned close to their ears and smiled maliciously.

　　Minamiya Yu couldn’t hear what was said, he only saw Seele and Bronya’s cheeks gradually turning red, and later he even felt that Seele was becoming dizzy.

　　After a while, Cocolia patted Seele and Bronya on the shoulders, then got into her own car.

　　After watching the car disappear at the end of the street, the three of them turned around and left.

　　"What did she tell you just now?"

　　On the way home side by side, Minamiya Yu asked curiously.

　　"No, nothing, Seele doesn't know anything!!!"

　　Seele, who had been silent till now, seemed to be suddenly ignited, and her excited voice scared Minamiya Yu.

　　"Yu, it's not gentlemanly to pry into a girl's secrets."

　　Bronya's eyes were also wandering, and she didn't dare to look Minamiya Yu in the eye.

　　"All right."

　　Minamiya Yu nodded and closed her mouth.

　　Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Seele and Bronya both breathed a sigh of relief.

　　If this guy knew what Cocolia's mother said, they would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

　　What about the two of them being together? How could Cocolia's mother say such bold words?

　　Unfortunately, Seele forgot one thing.

　　When she was tossed around in bed and into a trance, she would have no secrets in Minamiya Yu's eyes.

　　......

　　In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Minamiya Yu got into the black limousine that came to pick him up, following Seele's repeated instructions.

　　The driver was a girl in a suit with long purple hair. For some reason, after seeing Minamiya Yu, her face became nervous and she looked like someone who was easy to bully.

　　Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic passing by outside the window, Minamiya Yu asked.

　　"What's your name?"

　　“Reisen! Mr. Minamiya, just call me Reisen.”

　　Tsk, we meet again.

　　Noticing that Minamiya Yu frowned, Reisen immediately said in a panic: "Sorry, Mr. Minamiya, did I make you angry in any way?"

　　"No, why do you say that?"

　　"No, that's good. No, that's good."

　　They stayed in silence until they reached the agreed location. Reisen stopped the car and hesitated for a few seconds before turning her head away with some fear, meeting Minamiya Yu's eyes for the first time.

　　Compared to looking directly at the future prince consort, she dared not disobey the master's order.

　　"Mr. Minamiya, although, although these words may be presumptuous for me to say, but, but please be gentle to the princess from now on."

　　Holding back her inner fear and shame, Reisen said, "This is the first time for Princess Kaguya. I hope you will show some mercy."

Chapter 42: What did you say her name was?

　　“Is this true?”

　　How could she be prettier than Seele and Bronya? Why didn't he believe it?

　　He picked up the teapot and refilled Cocolia's glass of water, then poured himself a cup. After talking for so long, he felt a little thirsty.

　　"It's hard to explain intuitively, so I'll let you see for yourself."

　　As she spoke, Cocolia opened her purse that was placed on the sofa and took out a photo from the middle compartment.

　　"promise."

　　Cocolia handed it over and Minamiya Yu reached out to take it.

　　Minamiya Yu first drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then he looked at the photo in his hand.

　　In the background of the Japanese-style room, a girl wearing an elaborate twelve-piece kimono kneels quietly on the tatami.

　　Her long, smooth black hair fell like a waterfall, and under her Jibo hairstyle, her extremely delicate face had a decent smile.

　　Minamiya Yu was surprised at first sight. The girl in the photo seemed to embody all the Eastern impressions of beauty. For a moment, he didn't even know what adjective to use. To put it roughly, this face was enough to be the dream lover of most Asians.

　　Moreover, looking at this photo, he was inexplicably reminded of a character from Gensokyo that he liked very much in his previous life.

　　Although ZUN's painting is relatively abstract, the general image has been established through many secondary settings. The girl in the photo is quite similar to her.

　　But this is just a random thought. This kind of dress is a tradition in the Far East, and there are too many young ladies who dress like this.

　　"What's her name?"

　　Looking at the photo, Minamiya Yu asked casually without looking up.

　　"Name? I think her name is Kaguya Horaisan. She's the daughter of the chairman of Lunarian Group."

　　"puff!!!!"

　　Minamiya Yu, who had just taken a sip of water, couldn't help but spit it out. He looked up in astonishment and asked in disbelief, "What did you say her name was?"

　　"Hōraizan Kaguya? Why, do you know her?"

　　Know her? More than that, he knew him. She was his favorite character in Touhou in his previous life.

　　If this world didn't have the characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, and the male and female protagonists in those daily anime, Minamiya Yu would also have regarded this as a coincidence.

　　But now, he had to think that this was the role he knew.

　　Lunarian Group, the chairman’s daughter, it’s all right, it’s all right.

　　"Do you have any information about her?"

　　"There is an electronic version. I'll have someone send it to your email address later. Are you interested?"

　　“A little bit.”

　　If a Gensokyo really appeared in this world, he would be really troubled. Moreover, even the Honkai energy has disappeared, so there can't be any other supernatural powers.

　　Sighing, he silently put the photo in his pocket.

　　We'll see what happens when the time comes. It's no use thinking about it now.

　　"I've set a meeting time for you the night after tomorrow. The address is not far from here. I'll send it to you later."

　　"Um."

　　Noticing Minamiya Yu's absent-minded look, Cocolia couldn't help but frown: "Are you really mesmerized by a photo?"

　　"That's not the case."

　　Shaking his head, Minamiya Yu said with certainty.

　　"That's good. You can just play with people like this. Your true feelings should be placed on Seele and Bronya. If I find out that you bullied them in the future, you understand the consequences, right?"

　　Feeling the sudden rise of Cocolia's momentum, Minamiya Yu, who was a little dazed, shuddered, and immediately became alert, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

　　"Hmph~ That's good."

　　The atmosphere returned to its previous relaxed state. Minamiya Yu stopped thinking about Kaguya and started chatting with Cocolia about daily trivialities. She seemed to really like listening to Minamiya Yu talking about those trivial matters. Her eyes were shining and she listened very seriously.

　　After a while, the two smelled the rich aroma of rice. At this time, Seele and Bronya came out with the freshly prepared lunch.

　　"It's been a while since I last tasted my daughters' cooking. I guess I'll have a treat today~"

　　Sitting at the dining table, looking at the exquisite dishes, Cocolia said with some anticipation.

　　"Seele's craftsmanship has improved a lot. Now I feel like I can't live without Seele."

　　Minamiya Yu's teasing caused Seele to grumble. She rolled her eyes at him cutely, then looked at Cocolia and said in a coquettish whisper: "Cocolia mother, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Seele is not that powerful."

　　"I think Yu is right. Without Seele, we would probably just starve."

　　Bronya also added with a smile, making Seele even more shy.

　　"Even Bronya-sister, you...really, you're praising her too much."

　　The two men seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and did not mention anything about the fiancée.

　　But the more this happened, the more nervous Minamiya Yu felt. It was like a whirlpool hidden beneath the calm sea, which could suck his small boat in at any time.

　　As for treating it as the default?

　　No, no, no, how is this possible? It's impossible for anyone to not care when seeing that the person they like has a fiancée.

　　If he thinks that it will be alright if he doesn't say anything, and then acts recklessly, he will probably be attacked like a storm. What if he angers Seele and Bronya, and they tie him up and lock him up in a basement in Siberia? Then, he will be helpless.

　　"By the way, Yu, I played the game you made last time. It was pretty good."

　　"Real?"

　　During the casual chat at dinner, Cocolia suddenly spoke as if she remembered something.

　　"Why would I lie to you? I just didn't expect you to be able to write such a plot. I thought you could only write those crude copywritings in those erotic games."

　　"???????"

　　Noticing Cocolia's teasing gaze and Bronya's uncontrollable laughter, Minamiya Yu began to tap her toes in embarrassment.

　　What should I do if my mother finds out that I'm making butter? Waiting online, it's urgent.

　　Even Seele lowered her head with a red face. This girl, don’t think he can’t see that she is laughing secretly!

　　"What kind of pornographic games are you talking about? I never do those."

　　Minamiya Yu had no intention of admitting it.

　　"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, after playing your game, I contacted the Anti-Entropy Space Agency and had a brief chat with them. They are willing to invest in setting up a charity fund to help people with autism worldwide. When they promote it, they will include you and your game."

　　"Is there such a good thing?"

　　"What's the big deal? For those capitalists who are full of maggots, they are very happy to do this kind of charity that only costs a little money to improve their reputation. Don't underestimate the popularity of your game."

　　The sneers were filled with disdain for those people.

　　Although Minamiya Yu really wanted to complain about Cocolia, "Aren't you also a capitalist?", his desire to survive made him swallow the words and instead spoke.

　　“It doesn’t matter what the purpose is, as long as it can really help people.”

　　Understanding Minamiya Yu's hint, Cocolia smiled and said, "I will arrange it myself. They dare not do anything tricky."

　　“Domineering!”

　　He gave Cocolia a thumbs up, and then Minamiya Yu said without hesitation: "In that case, I will donate half of the profits from "To the Moon"."
