Chapter 11 What Boomerang?

　　After understanding this, Minamiya Yu felt a warm current flowing in his heart.

　　Is there anything happier than finding out that the one you love is waiting for you silently after all the hard work?

　　He found a thin blanket and gently covered Seele, who was only wearing home clothes, with it.

　　The weather is getting warmer as summer approaches, but it is still better to keep warm at night.

　　When I got closer, I saw Seele's sleeping face. Her two little hands were crossed and folded on her chest. Her nose moved gently with her breathing, and her moist light pink lips were gently opening and closing. I could vaguely see two rows of white teeth and the pink tip of her tongue lying quietly.

　　It must be delicious.

　　Of course, Minamiya Yu was talking about dinner.

　　Suppressing the strong desire, he stood up carefully, walked over to simply heat up dinner, and then simply ate while standing in the kitchen, washing the dishes while he was at it.

　　Seele's cooking skills are quite good, and she will even cook to suit his taste. It seems that he is becoming more and more dependent on Seele.

　　After tidying up the kitchen, Minamiya Yu wiped his hands and walked out

　　He originally wanted to pick up the sleeping Seele in a princess hug, but as soon as one hand touched Seele's shoulder, he saw Seele's eyes twitch, and then quickly opened her sky-blue eyes. She looked slightly hazy as if she had just woken up, and a natural charm was entangled around her.

　　"elder brother?"

　　This pair of beautiful "gems" always made Minamiya Yu fall into them, until Seele's soft whisper awakened his consciousness.

　　"Sorry, I woke you up by accident."

　　"Well, it's okay... Oh, by the way, brother, you haven't had dinner yet, Seele will go and heat it up for you."

　　As if she suddenly thought of something, Seele quickly opened her eyes wide. She struggled to sit up, but was pushed down again by Minamiya Yu.

　　"Don't worry, I've already eaten."

　　At this time, Seele noticed the empty dining table and felt relieved.

　　"Brother, are you hot? You can't eat cold food!"

　　"It's hot, don't worry, I've always kept Seele's instructions in my heart."

　　"That's good."

　　Seele smiled gently, exuding an indescribable tenderness.

　　Then, amid the little girl's exclamations, Minamiya Yu hugged her neck and thighs and lifted her up in a princess hug. Seele quickly stretched out her arms and hugged his neck, her eyes were a little flustered like a little animal, and her cheeks were visibly flushed.

　　"elder brother?"

　　"Come on, I'll take you upstairs."

　　Minamiya Yu said with a smile after shaking Seele who was not very heavy.

　　"Have you taken a bath?"

　　"Washed, washed"

　　"Well, let me carry you back to your room."

　　Dragging Seele's soft yet elastic thighs, Minamiya Yu asked Seele to open her door and put her on her bed.

　　"It's already late, go to bed early, good night."

　　"Well, good night."

　　Sitting on the bed, Seele noticed that her brother had no intention of doing anything else. After the door was closed, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.

　　I haven't talked to my brother much today...

　　......

　　I took a simple shower and blew my hair, and the excitement of completing the game finally subsided.

　　After changing into his pajamas, he walked out of the bathroom. When he passed Seele's room, he paused for a moment, and suddenly thought that he seemed to have not spent much time with Seele today.

　　After thinking about it, he withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the door. Although tomorrow is the weekend, it is too late now and the game is already finished. He should get up early tomorrow and have a good day of fun with Seele.

　　He walked back to his room, and as soon as he opened the door, the scene in front of him made him stunned.

　　The layout of his bedroom is very simple, with a bed, wardrobe, table, game console, computer host, monitor, and projection equipment for watching movies.

　　But now, an uninvited guest appeared in the bedroom.

　　A wild Seele appeared.

　　I saw her lying on her bed, her pajamas in disarray, hugging her pillow with her face buried in it, turning into a small ball and rolling around quickly on her bed.

　　"......"

　　Minamiya Yu silently closed the door and looked at the sign on the door and Seele's room next door.

　　No problem, he didn't go in the wrong place.

　　When I opened the room again, I found that the scene inside had changed again.

　　The little ball on the bed was gone, and the pillow lay quietly at the head of the bed. Seele, neatly dressed, sat beside the bed, looking at him with a smile, looking like a lady. Only the still wrinkled sheets showed traces of having been ravaged just now.

　　"Brother, welcome back~"

　　Hey, hey, hey, you've been seen in that state just now, what's the point of pretending like this now? And you're welcome back, you're all at home, what does that mean, are you panicking?

　　I had a lot of complaints in my heart that I wanted to express, but in the end I held them back.

　　Minamiya Yu walked into the room and left the door ajar with his backhand.

　　"Why are you in my room so late?"

　　They were also sitting on the bed, a short distance away from Seele, and he was sitting on the inside while Seele was on the outside.

　　He wanted to create some sense of security for Seele, but who would have thought that before he could even make any move, Seele would come close to him on her own initiative.

　　She moved her little butt and pressed it directly against his body, grabbing his palm and gently fiddling with it, her voice also carrying a hint of loss: "Brother hasn't been with Seele for a whole day, Seele can't sleep."

　　The soft body coupled with the sweet fragrance unique to a young girl almost overwhelmed Minamiya Yu's mind in an instant.

　　Feeling the softness against his arm, he could even make out the outline clearly because she was only wearing pajamas. Minamiya Yu wanted to ask Seele if she really knew what she was doing?

　　Doing this late at night, are you trusting his willpower too much?

　　"Seele feels like she's back to the old days. Sister Bronya is the same. She's busy working until late every day and has no time to spend with Seele. Will brother be like this in the future?"

　　The outstretched devil's claws were quietly retracted, and the inner desire was doused like a basin of cold water.

　　It seems that he has been too busy these days and has spent much less time with Seele. He didn't expect that the sarcastic words he said to Bronya in the cafe would turn into a boomerang and hit him.

　　Is this the American boomerang? I’m so scared.

　　"Brother, Seele actually...ah!"

　　More than ten seconds of silence made Seele think that her brother was angry. She wanted to say something in panic, but at this moment, she suddenly felt her body being dragged into the air by a force.

　　Just like the princess hug that night, she fell directly into Minamiya Yu's arms and lay on the bed side by side with him.

　　"elder brother?"

　　Without answering Seele's somewhat puzzled voice, Minamiya Yu said directly: "Seele, it seems like I haven't told you a bedtime story for a long time. I have a good story recently. Do you want to listen to it?"

　　Bedtime story?

　　In an instant, Seele's mind flashed back to a long time ago when her brother would sit by her bed at night and recite fairy tales that she had read many times in a voice so sleepy that she could not help herself.

　　It doesn’t matter what the story is like; what matters is the person who is with her and telling the story.

　　Suddenly, Seele was no longer worried or depressed. Her eyes sparkled and she nodded excitedly.

　　"Yes, yes!"

　　"Well, wait a moment, I'll go turn on the projector."

　　As he spoke, Minamiya Yu turned on the projector on the ceiling and called out Hatsune Miku, asking her to connect the projector to the computer he used for work.

　　He held Seele tightly in his arms, letting the little girl lean on his chest, feeling the body temperature exchanged with each other, and Minamiya Yu said: "Seele, you are the first one in the world to see this story besides me~"

Chapter 10 Bronya is itching

　　"Phew, I'm so sleepy, Seele, let me lean on you for a while~"

　　On the way to school in the early morning, Minamiya Yu yawned and pressed his weight of more than 70 kilograms on Seele's small shoulders. Although the shoulders looked so slender, they did not shake at all when Minamiya Yu pressed on them, and they continued to walk forward steadily.

　　"Brother, I told you not to stay up late."

　　Looking at her brother's tired expression, Seele's eyes were filled with a little heartache and dissatisfaction.

　　"Ah, well, I did some market research last night, so I stayed up a little late."

　　He wrapped his arms around Seele's neck, put his nose close to the ends of Seele's hair, closed his eyes and sniffed the fresh scent of the girl and shampoo.

　　The drooping palm was gently held by Seele's soft little hand, and the warm breath blew on Seele's earlobe, making her face feel a little hot.

　　"Don't make it sound so obvious about staying up late playing games!"

　　Compared to Minamiya Yu, Bronya now looks full of energy.

　　The hard work over the past two months has helped her to shake off her bad days. Not only has her self-confidence returned, but her spirits have also improved a lot recently, with her face looking rosy and shiny.

　　Looking at the scene in front of her, she frowned a little, stretched out her hand and gently pulled Seele's shoulder to pull her to her side: "Walk properly, don't bully Seele."

　　However, before Minamiya Yu replied, Bronya was somewhat surprised to see Seele looking back at her, with a slightly dissatisfied look in her eyes, as if saying, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

　　Thoughts flashed through her mind, and Bronya understood the key in an instant, and suddenly her face was speechless.

　　Her arms dropped, a faint resentment gathered in her palms, and then she slapped Seele's butt hard.

　　Along with the girl's scream, a crisp sound rang out on the street.

　　"Sister Bronya..."

　　Seele wanted to reprimand loudly, but when she saw Bronya's indifferent eyes, her courage instantly shrank back. She became timid all of a sudden and could only mutter in a low voice with grievance.

　　Seeing Seele give in, Bronya snorted softly, then glanced at Minamiya Yu with a hint of pity in her eyes.

　　Some people always think that they are the hunters and the opponent is just a cute little white rabbit that they can slaughter at will. However, Bronya knows that the overstepping behavior of some people has unknowingly opened Pandora's box.

　　The hunter and the prey switched places quietly.

　　Minamiya Yu closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

　　According to his years of experience, if the matter between the two girls does not involve him, he must not intervene rashly, otherwise he will most likely be the one who gets hurt in the end.

　　The journey they walked together was only a short one, and soon it was time to say goodbye. Minamiya Yu could only reluctantly let go of the sweet and soft Seele.

　　"Don't look at it, everyone has gone far away."

　　Seele kept looking back and walked very slowly, so Bronya had to stop and wait for her.

　　"Eh? Well, I didn't reEly watch it. Seele was just a little worried that my brother might encounter some danger when he went to school..."

　　Well, this lame excuse was obviously made without thinking. After saying it, Seele turned her head away embarrassedly.

　　Glancing helplessly at her sister who was already beyond help, Bronya sighed and said, "Instead of worrying about him getting into danger, you should think about what you would do if a beautiful girl took his heart away."

　　Just as she finished her sentence, Bronya felt a pair of elastic balls hit her in front of her, and then she saw Seele approaching her nervously.

　　"Will my brother be taken away?"

　　A thin layer of mist formed in her big sky-blue eyes, filled with worry, and her pretty and cute face was also filled with nervousness.

　　"No, I'm lying to you."

　　Raising her hand and pinching Seele's chubby face, Bronya said with a bit of amusement, "Stupid, have confidence in yourself. Look at that guy, has he ever cared about any other girl besides you?"

　　Seele did not break free from Bronya's clutches, and said in a vague voice: "Sister Bronya, you."

　　"......"

　　Pop.

　　Seele got slapped on the butt again.

　　......

　　Two days later, Minamiya Yu received the news from the music studio and the reply from Elysia almost at the same time.

　　"The music production has been completed and the file has been sent to your email."

　　NaturEly, the studio had a very businesslike tone, so Ely's reply was quite playful.

　　"Hehe, this is my masterpiece. I'll ask Eden's dedicated team to produce it later. Come and listen to it~"

　　Along with the message, there is also a full set of audio files.

　　After enduring until school was over, Minamiya Yu rushed home impatiently. He didn't even bother to pay attention to Seele who was standing at the door in an apron to greet him. He gave her a quick kiss on the little face and then ran straight back to the studio, leaving Seele at the door blushing and confused.

　　The player opens.

　　Soundtrack, start!

　　As soon as it started, a piano sound like a clear spring sounded. He slowly closed his eyes, intoxicated by this wonderful music.

　　Soon, the song ended, and Minamiya Yu opened his eyes filled with excitement.

　　As for his evaluation of this music, he could only say that it was good, very good, and it had completely exceeded his imagination.

　　As expected of Ely and Eden’s professional team, the emotional appeal of the entire song has been raised to a higher level.

　　He couldn't even imagine how powerful this game would be with this music.

　　Then, he listened to the rest of the music, and almost every song met his requirements. At this point, the last piece of the puzzle of his game was finally complete.

　　Thinking of this, he started to get busy. He must see the birth of the finished product tonight!

　　The hour hand turned round and round until the bright moon was high in the sky and the Milky Way was full of stars. Only then did Minamiya Yu stop and stretch lazily.

　　He was still in a very excited mood. Looking at the game interface on the computer, Minamiya Yu couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

　　His first real game in this world was finally completed at this moment!

　　The corner of my eye swept across the windowsill. There was no need to confirm the time. Just a glance at the inky night sky was enough to tell that it was already very late.

　　The relaxation after a long period of concentration made all the fatigue in the body burst out at once, especially the stomach that had not eaten dinner, and it was now rumbling with dissatisfaction.

　　So tired and hungry.

　　Hunger drove his body downstairs to find something to eat.

　　Why didn’t Seele call me to have dinner today, or did she call me but I didn’t hear her?

　　With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, he quickly walked down the stairs. Before he took two steps towards the kitchen, he smelled a faint aroma of rice.

　　"Um?"

　　Following the smell, I turned my head and noticed a complete dinner on the dining table, including rice, two plates of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of soup. It looked homely and hearty, but it looked like the dinner was almost cold.

　　Taking another step forward, he suddenly found a 'little ball' curled up on the sofa.

　　When I looked closely, I saw that it was Seele who was lying there, curled up and asleep.

　　Thinking about the food on the table, everything seems to make sense.

　　Seele, you must have been waiting for me.

Chapter 9: Sister Elysia~

　　"Brother, it's time to rest~"

　　Accompanied by two gentle knocks on the door, Seele, wrapped only in a bath towel, showed her still slightly wet little head from the gap in the door frame.

　　rest?

　　I subconsciously glanced at the time on the wall and found that the hour hand was almost pointing to 11.

　　It turns out it’s so late.

　　He used voice commands to let Hatsuna save the file and shut down the computer, then he pushed his chair away and walked towards Seele.

　　Seele, who had just finished taking a bath, looked rosy all over. Her two little hands held the edge of the bath towel, and there was a little expectation in her eyes as she looked at her brother who walked in.

　　Noticing Seele's appearance, Minamiya Yu smiled gently, then took a towel from Seele's hand and smeared it on Seele's little head without saying a word.

　　"Really? No matter how much you look forward to it, you still have to wipe your hair a little bit."

　　I had just finished taking a shower and my hair was still wet, leaving a series of marks on the wooden floor along the way.

　　"Hehe~"

　　Seele just smiled and said nothing. She didn't want to wipe it. It would be so nice to wait and come over to enjoy her brother's care.

　　Minamiya Yu also let her act coquettishly, gently wiping her hair and walking into the room with her.

　　Dozens of repetitions over more than a month allowed both of them to find their positions expertly. Seele sat on the stool, pressing her soft and elastic thighs with her two little hands, looking at herself and her brother in the mirror with joy.

　　Although she was only wearing a bath towel, she wrapped it tightly because she was shy so as not to reveal a single bit of her body.

　　Even so, the smooth and tender shoulders with a rosy complexion that could be easily touched by the fingertips still made Minamiya Yu a little distracted.

　　After quickly blowing Seele's hair, Minamiya Yu left quickly despite Seele's secret attempts to keep him.

　　If you don't leave now, you'll making a mistake.

　　......

　　“Huh~”

　　I felt much more comfortable after taking a shower, and all those bad desires seemed to fall into the sewer along with the running water.

　　Lying on the soft bed, Minamiya Yu stretched out his arms, reached for the mobile phone on the bedside table, opened the chat software, and found the familiar avatar.

　　After silently calculating the difference between different time zones, Minamiya Yu began typing in the chat box.

　　As a result, before he could even send a greeting, he saw a message suddenly pop up on the other side.

　　"I guess you are thinking about me now, right?~"

　　His fingers paused for a moment, and Minamiya Yu opened his mouth slightly. He deleted the text and sent a new one.

　　"How do you know that?"

　　On the other side, Eden, who was drinking with Ely in the pavilion in the garden, suddenly found that her best friend covered her mouth and exclaimed slightly. Then, she could not hide the joy on her lips, her eyes were shining, and her happiness was so great that it was about to overflow.

　　"Hehe, of course that's because Yu and I have a telepathic connection (//▽//)~"

　　Not only between the lines, but she herself couldn't help humming softly. This scene made Eden feel quite amused. With the aroma of wine on her lips, she watched quietly with her eyes slightly narrowed, not making a sound to disturb him.

　　"It's such an honor~"

　　Seeing this, Ely typed quickly again.

　　"Oh my, do you have something to ask me? Today, Miss Fairy is in a very, very, very good mood, so even if you, Ayu, confess your love, I might agree~"

　　"You really agree to everything?"

　　The message was replied so quickly that Ely lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she typed quickly with a slightly blushing face.

　　"Of course, a fairy's word is unbreakable!"

　　"Then, I want you"

　　thump.

　　At this moment, Ely felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she almost held her breath instantly.

　　Unfortunately, before this excitement could overwhelm her mind, another sentence came.

　　"Help me make a piece of music for my new game."

　　Suddenly, her heart, which had just been lifted up, sank to the bottom of the valley, and her delicate cheeks immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

　　Okay, okay, that’s how I should punctuate the sentence, right? Elysia will remember this grudge!

　　“Puff~”

　　Ely's appearance was so funny that Eden couldn't help laughing out loud.

　　Noticing the sad look from her best friend, Eden waved her hand gently and said in a soft voice with a smile: "Sorry, Ely, I'm not laughing, I just thought of something happy."

　　"You were clearly laughing, and you never stopped!"

　　After glaring at Eden again with dissatisfaction, Ely turned her attention to her phone again.

　　"If you have something to say, tell me now!"

　　It was obvious that Miss Fairy was angry.

　　After all, he was asking for help, so Minamiya Yu did not dare to be naughty and quickly made his request.

　　"Hmm, can I help you make the soundtrack for your game? If you only need the piano, then I can definitely do that, but... "

　　"But?"

　　"But just now a bad guy made Miss Fairy very angry. Ah Yu, what kind of compensation should Miss Fairy ask for from that bad guy?"

　　"Please show some mercy!"

　　"Oh, it seems like I haven't heard anyone call me Sister Ely for a long time. It would be great if a boy could call me Sister Ely in his childhood voice. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to it~"

　　Shout in the same tone as before?

　　Isn't this asking him to imitate the tone of a shota? How embarrassing!

　　So, Minamiya Yu coughed twice, moistened his throat, and said with a slightly choked voice: "Sister Elysia~"

　　Oh, for the sake of the game, what's the point of being embarrassed? After the incident, he is still a brave man.

　　After secretly glancing at Eden across from her, Ely turned down the volume of her phone, pointed the speaker at her pointy-looking ears, and clicked on the voice message.

　　"Sister Elysia~"

　　Although there were still some minor flaws, when the crisp voice that belonged only to the little boy came out of the loudspeaker, Eden only saw that Ely seemed to tremble all over, and then a strange blush appeared on her face, and even her breathing began to become a little rapid.

　　Her expression was full of a weird smile, and her fingers tapped the voice message over and over again, causing Eden to put down his glass for a moment and frown.

　　I always feel like my good friend has suddenly gone bad.

　　Two minutes passed before Ely came back to her senses. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and began typing quickly.

　　"Yes, Sister Ely is very satisfied. Please send the music score to me. I will do my best to help you complete it~"

　　After typing, Ely looked up at Eden, who for some reason seemed to dislike her. She frowned slightly but didn't think much about it. She quickly asked, "My dear Eden, can I use the recording studio and piano in your home later?"

　　"Hmm? Are you going to play a piece?"

　　When Eden heard the familiar place, his eyes lit up and he said with some anticipation.

　　"Yeah, but this is something Ayu asked me to help with. His game has a piano soundtrack that only I can play. Oh, it turns out that Ayu can't live without me~"

　　Automatically ignoring the second half of Ely's sentence, Eden stood up with a smile and walked towards the villa with graceful steps.

　　"Come on, I'll take you there."

　　"Great! Eden is the best after all~"

　　She rushed over and hugged Eden's arm, and the two of them returned to the room together, laughing and joking.

Chapter 8: Final Production

　　What a fairy...

　　He almost lost his grip on the phone. He slumped in the chair, exhausted, and slowly calmed his pounding heart.

　　Unfortunately, the chaotic thoughts in his mind made him subconsciously open the photo album on his mobile phone, click on the photo just now, and look at the smiling pink fairy in the photo, as if she was sitting next to him and looking at him with a smile.

　　Minamiya Yu didn't look in the mirror, but he was sure that his expression was quite embarrassing.

　　In his previous life, he was just a young man who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and had not yet been polished by the society when everything ended. In this life, he has only been young for more than ten years.

　　It can be said that with his limited experience, he can only bully Seele. He may not be able to handle Bronya, let alone Elysia.

　　He quickly locked and saved the photo, then put his phone down and stood up.

　　Go wash your face with cold water and calm down, otherwise you probably won’t be able to continue working in this state.

　　The bathroom was next door. Minamiya Yu splashed cold water on his face a few times, took a few breaths and felt much better. He wiped his face with a towel and sat back in front of the computer in the studio.

　　Not long after he sat on the chair, he suddenly remembered that Ely seemed to be able to play the piano. There was a piano in the orphanage where Ely lived before, and Ely started learning it since she was a child.

　　If possible, it would be nice to let Elysia help play the most important piano piece in the game?

　　However, it would be better to wait until he finishes the main part of the game. The music composition can be put aside for now and there is no rush.

　　Thinking of this, he fell into his busy work again. Seele called him to eat twice but he didn't notice.

　　......

　　“Hehe~”

　　Lying on a rather large round sofa, Ely was rapidly tapping her phone while happily humming a cheerful song.

　　Consistent with her outfit in the photo, she was only wearing a simple white dress. Her hair, which had not been combed since she got up, was simply tied behind her head, and then fell all the way down her back to her round and curvy figure, half covering and half revealing the curves that could not be concealed by the thin white dress.

　　Further down, two slender and tender white calves stretched out from the hem of the skirt, with soft and rosy soles of feet raised and lowered, and the jade-like insteps glowing with a charming luster. At the same time, the exquisite toes were still moving mischievously, looking cute and attractive.

　　"Is this the man you always mention?"

　　A gentle voice came slowly from not far away, causing Ely to raise her head with a smile on her face.

　　"Yes~"

　　She was too lazy to stand up, so she just turned over on the sofa, crawled to Eden's side like a big caterpillar, and lay on her plump and soft thighs.

　　Feeling the soft elasticity behind her head, Ely's eyes were full of satisfaction.

　　Eden was no longer surprised by Elysia's appearance. She looked at her helplessly, then raised her hand and gently touched Elysia's hair.

　　"That guy didn't send me a message for more than a week. My dear Eden, tell me, isn't this too much? Let a beautiful girl wait lonely for so long. Is there anything sadder than this?"

　　"So, little Ely, who couldn't stand it any longer, took the initiative to contact ?"

　　As if she noticed the hint of teasing in her friend's mouth, Elysia arched her back in her arms with some dissatisfaction.

　　"What do you mean by unbearable? I just saw a beautiful scenery and wanted to share it with my friends. If I don't give it to him, that would be too pitiful, wouldn't it?"

　　Eden just smiled and said nothing, but she noticed that the chat box on Ely's phone screen had never changed.

　　Half an hour passed, and Eden finished drinking cup after cup of tea. His hands were almost stroking Elysia's pink hair until it was bald. Then he saw her put away her phone contentedly, sit up and stretch.

　　"My dear Eden, I'm so hungry, let's go have breakfast together~"

　　With a faint blush on her face, she spoke coquettishly to Eden.

　　However, Eden just sat there, not moving, and was looking at her with a rather resentful look.

　　"What's wrong? Eden~"

　　After a moment of silence, Eden suddenly pointed to his body, looked at her and said calmly: "My legs are numb and I can't stand up."

　　"......"

　　Miss Fairy finally began to feel embarrassed.

　　.......

　　There are still more than two months to the Mini Game Festival, and time is passing slowly in the busyness.

　　In the second half of the game production, the tedious problems that came one after another made Minamiya Yu spend much less time with Seele. However, after learning that her brother was not making that kind of game, Seele moved a table into her brother's studio. When her brother was working, she would help with some small chores within her ability. When she had nothing to do, she would do her favorite handicrafts or push a small stool to sit behind her brother.

　　She didn't quite understand the complicated operations on the computer, but she liked to see her brother concentrating on his work, with his chin in his hand and his face red as he stared blankly, wondering what he was thinking about. From time to time, Seele would cut some fruit and feed it to her brother who had no time to eat.

　　After more than a month, the production of the game is finally coming to an end.

　　"OK, the last round of testing is completed, and no bugs were found during the process."

　　Of course, Minamiya Yu was just comforting himself by saying this.

　　BUGs are really mysterious. They can appear in any strange place depending on the players' magical imagination. Basically no game designer dares to say that his game has no BUGs.

　　After so many rounds of testing, Minamiya Yu only hopes that there will be no bugs that affect the gameplay. It would be bad if this affected the continuity of the plot.

　　Lying on his back in the chair, Minamiya Yu stretched out his body.

　　After having my body tensed up for so long because of playing games, I can finally relax.

　　He had already handed over most of the music to a professional team early on, and he would probably receive the finished product soon. As for the most important soundtrack, his choice remained unchanged.

　　It seems that I need to talk to Elysia these two days.

　　There is still a month before the opening of the Mini Game Festival, and he and Bronya's work has already been registered through a newly established company.

　　As for the company, Minamiya Yu asked Cocolia for help to set it up, and it was affiliated with the huge Anti-Entropy Entertainment. Although 50% of the profits needed to be handed over, Minamiya Yu and Bronya still understood the principle of enjoying the shade under a big tree.

　　With this backing, any unfair competition can basically be eliminated.

Chapter 7 Love Gate~

　　Click on the picture, and you will see a dazzling golden sea of ​​flowers. Just looking at it, you feel as if you are placed in an endless expanse of warm sunshine.

　　He didn't recognize the name of the flower, but he couldn't help but sigh at this beautiful scene.

　　Minamiya: "I don't know. Sister Ely, please don't keep me in suspense."

　　When the dreams came together, he was surprised to find that he and Elysia were actually very good acquaintances in this life.

　　The image of the Elysia in her previous life who loved the world and made people shout "Ai Men" like a god is slowly merging with the image of the gentle and lively big sister next door in my memory now. I have to say it feels quite strange.

　　She has lost a bit of the vagueness of looking down on the world, and gained a bit of the earthly atmosphere of falling into the mortal world. This kind of Sister Ely is more fascinating.

　　As for how I met Elysia, it was a coincidence.

　　That was when Cocolia had just been promoted and was no longer troubled by the orphanage's funding.

　　She thought it was not a good idea to let the children stay in the orphanage forever, so she thought about taking them abroad to broaden their horizons.

　　So she contacted an orphanage in Europe, provided funding, and let the children from the orphanage serve as tour guides to take her children on local tours.

　　Children from the same orphanage will not look at their own children with tinted glasses, and it can also allow everyone to make some new friends, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

　　After arriving at the place, the tour guide assigned to Minamiya Yu was Elysia.

　　He didn't know if it was because of Elysia's own attraction or the stimulation of the remaining memories that had not yet merged in his mind, but after just playing together for a few days, he and Elysia became good friends who could talk about anything. After adding each other's contact information, the contact between the two has never been interrupted until now.

　　After so many years, Elysia has long since "graduated" from the orphanage and is currently a freelancer, publishing her travel and daily stories on the Destiny Blog, commonly known as a travel blogger.

　　Miss Pink Fairy is the name of Elysia on her blog.

　　Relying on her personal charm and exquisite landscape photos, she has attracted nearly 10 million fans in just a few years and is one of the big bloggers on Destiny Blog.

　　Pink Fairy: "Ayu, can't you just guess? This is a photo I carefully prepared for you~"

　　She is always like this. Certain words, whether deliberate or unintentional, can always make people feel itchy.

　　What do you mean by specially prepared for you? You won’t understand if I don’t explain it to you.

　　Minamiya: "Sister Ely, you are too difficult. It's just a golden flower field. How can anyone guess? There are no landmark buildings or clues. I can't do it."

　　Pink Fairy: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go this time, Ayu."

　　Following Minamiya Yu's words, Ely made a joke, and soon, her new message came over: "Dangdangdangdang, look who's next to me~" "[Picture]"

　　As she spoke, a selfie was sent over by Ely.

　　In the photo, the girl raised her arms and blinked her left eye cutely at the camera. There was a smile on her stunningly beautiful face. Her long pink hair was casually tied behind her head, and she looked lazy as if she had just woken up. She was wearing a rather cool plain white long skirt. The top-down angle allowed her to easily see the two little white rabbits trying to break free from the loose skirt. They pushed up the neckline high, revealing a large area of tender white, with a deep ravine squeezed out in the middle.

　　So big, so round, it should feel so soft that you can sink all five fingers into it...

　　Of course, he was talking about the sofa where Elysia was sitting, not Elysia's soft breasts that made people want to bury themselves in them.

　　He quickly clicked and saved, and then he noticed the people around Elysia.

　　There is no way around it. Light will be attracted by objects with large mass. This is the law of nature and is inevitable.

　　Her long burgundy hair was decorated with dark gold hair accessories. She was dressed similarly to Elysia, but looked more conservative. Her neckline was tightly tied and she had a faint smile on her face as she simply looked at the camera.

　　Just sitting there quietly, a gentle and mature atmosphere comes to your face.

　　"Eden?!!!"

　　The moment he saw her appearance, Minamiya Yu couldn't help but scream out.

　　In this world, Eden is still one of the most dazzling superstars in the world, a world-class singer, musician, and of course a world-class wealthy woman.

　　I thought that in this world without collapse, it would be difficult for Ely and Eden, who became travel bloggers, to have any intersection. Unexpectedly, these two people still knew each other, and judging from the photos, they even had a good relationship.

　　Maybe this is fate.

　　Minamiya: "Oh my god, it's Eden, Miss Eden, I'm your fan! (Pounce!)"

　　Pink Fairy: "(Anti-flying wall) I didn't expect that Eden is now my good friend~"

　　Minamiya: "V you 50, can we switch?"

　　Pink Fairy: "Well, if you can V me 50 every Thursday, I might consider it."

　　Minamiya: “Really? I’ll change. I’ll change. 11111111111.”

　　Pink Fairy: "Is that a lie?~"

　　Minamiya: “That’s too much!”

　　Pink Fairy: "Hahahaha, it's your fault, Ayu, that you haven't contacted me recently. Even if Miss Fairy is a beautiful, kind and generous girl, she would still feel a little resentful~"

　　Seeing this, Minamiya Yu recalled.

　　hiss~

　　Ever since I brought Seele back last time, I have been busy with games and it seems that I really forgot to contact Ely. They used to chat almost every day.

　　Thinking of this, he suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly explained.

　　Minamiya: "Ahem, I've been busy lately."

　　Pink Fairy: "Busy? Aren't you in school? Are you busy dating a cute girl?"

　　Raising an eyebrow, Minamiya Yu quickly looked around and confirmed that Ely didn't peek at him before typing a response: "Of course not, I'm making games. Bronya and I have an appointment to decide the winner at St. Freya's Mini-Game Festival, so I've been busy with my own games recently."

　　Pink Fairy: "You and Little Duck haven't reconciled yet, this won't do, you can't do things that would make a cute girl sad."

　　Minamiya: "Don't worry, everything will be settled after this mini-game festival is over."

　　Pink Fairy: "Well, in that case, I'm looking forward to your work. How is it? Are you confident of winning?"

　　Minamiya: "Of course, I don't even know how I can lose!"

　　Pink Fairy: "You are so confident (covering mouth with surprised expression), you have aroused my curiosity, please don't let me down~"

　　Minamiya: "Don't worry, this game may be your favorite game you have ever played."

　　Pink Fairy: “Hmm~”

　　Then, I chatted with Elysia for a while. Her lively thoughts always made the conversation interesting and made people feel that time didn't pass.

　　It was not until Elysia said, "It's time for breakfast. We'll talk next time" that he realized that half an hour had passed without him noticing.

　　What a terrible woman.

　　Just when Minamiya Yu closed the chat and prepared to continue working, a new message suddenly came in Ely's chat box.

　　Miss Pink Fairy: "By the way, that selfie is a limited edition that belongs only to you, Yu. Remember not to show it to others, okay?~"

　　thump.

　　He felt his heart skip a beat, and then it suddenly accelerated.

Chapter 6 Seele: Should I eat first, or take a bath first, or...

　　"Brother, welcome home. Do you want to eat first, or take a shower first, or..."

　　When Minamiya Yu returned home and opened the door, she was greeted by Seele standing in front of the entrance wearing light blue home clothes. She was slightly bent over, with a cute cunning look in her big eyes.

　　Ah, Minamiya Yu felt like she was healed.

　　Sakuranomiya would finish school earlier than their school, so he would rush home as soon as school was over, just for this scene!

　　Seeing this, he quickly raised his hand: "I know the answer to this question. I choose to eat Seele!"

　　"Bang Bang Bang, wrong answer. Seele, there is no such option here~"

　　Seeing that her little trick had succeeded, Seele raised her cute little face slightly and said with a little pride.

　　"So what did you mean by the third item?"

　　Minamiya Yu was not angry. He changed his shoes and asked with a smile.

　　"Of course I'll go to work first. In order to defeat my brother, Sister Bronya has worked very hard. If my brother doesn't work hard, he will lose to Sister Bronya~"

　　With one hand on her waist and the other hand shaking her tender white index finger, Seele blinked her "pure and innocent" eyes at her brother.

　　"Yes, you are right."

　　Putting the schoolbag on the shelf nearby, Minamiya Yu walked closer to Seele in slippers.

　　"But I choose option four."

　　"Where is the fourth item, Seele..."

　　Before Seele could finish her sentence, her body was pulled forward slightly, the breath of the sun surrounded her body, and then, the instant warmth on her cheek made her words stuck in her throat.

　　"I'm back, Seele."

　　The gentle voice slowly echoed in her ears. Looking into the eyes of her brother who was standing very close to her, Seele's eyes gradually became misty.

　　Then, the red color quickly spread from the neck to the entire cheek, like boiling water, and hot steam seemed to be coming out of the little head.

　　The Seele was sunk!

　　Minamiya Yu brought the dizzy little girl to the sofa in the living room and sat her down. He rubbed her little head before going upstairs.

　　"As expected, life is beautiful when Seele is with me~"

　　However, what Seele said is indeed correct. It would not be good to be too arrogant and then fail. The game must be polished to perfection.

　　Go upstairs and work!

　　When the sound of her brother's footsteps disappeared, Seele shuddered all over and jumped up. She glanced secretly in the direction of the stairs, then stomped her feet with a red face as if she was angry. But she was afraid that the noise would be too loud and affect her brother, so it looked like she just tapped her toes a few times, which was very cute.

　　Since she began to develop gender awareness in junior high school, Seele seldom did those over-the-border behaviors with her brother as a child because she was shy. However, ever since she gave her brother a scarf last time, her brother's behavior towards her seemed to be getting more and more intimate, which really made her happy... Oh no, it made her distressed.

　　The words her brother said before he went upstairs echoed in her mind again. Seele's face turned red again, and she muttered softly: "Forget it, forget it. My brother works so hard every day, so I'll just satisfy my brother's wish. Well, that's it."

　　The murmurs became quieter and quieter, and Seele walked quickly into the kitchen on her little feet, as if she was afraid of being seen by the non-existent guests, but the remaining curve at the corner of her lips could not calm down.

　　......

　　Not long after I sat in front of the computer, a new message popped up in the lower right corner.

　　Eromanga-sensei: [Boss, this is the newly drawn CG and the difference, please take a look.] [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]...

　　That’s right, the assistant he found to help him draw the CG was the Eromanga teacher he remembered.

　　But it wasn't Sagiri, but her mother, the first Eromanga teacher.

　　When he was selecting people, many painters contacted him because the remuneration he offered was quite generous. Among them, Minamiya Yu discovered this single mother who is still raising a child.

　　After thinking about it, Minamiya Yu invited her to a trial.

　　The result naturally lived up to his expectations. After studying for less than half a month, the first Eromanga teacher mastered this novel style of painting and assisted him in completing the production of the entire game in just three months. Even in the last few CGs, she had surpassed her teacher.

　　I can only say that she is worthy of being called Eromanga teacher. Her talent in this area is beyond compare.

　　Therefore, when it came time to make the third part, he was only responsible for providing character settings and plots. He chose to let Eromanga-sensei perform the CG poses and positions himself, and the remuneration was changed to a profit-sharing model, with the profits split 70% between the two.

　　A 30% profit can be said to be quite lucrative. After all, the IP of Kaleidoscope is in his hands. The other party is just as he expected, as if they have been injected with chicken blood, working until very late every day.

　　Looking at those CGs in terrible postures, Minamiya Yu felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.

　　Hiss, you are worthy of being Teacher Eromanga. I, Minamiya, would like to call you the best when it comes to dealing with Erotic.

　　Minamiya: [The drawing is great, no modifications are needed! ]

　　Eromanga-sensei: [Thank you for the compliment, boss. Since there is no problem, I will continue to draw. ]

　　After saying that, the avatar on the other side went dark.

　　"This guy really works hard."

　　Minamiya Yu did not think too much about it. After all, the girl opposite was a single-parent family. It was said that before working with him, they had no food to eat and could barely pay the rent. Now they finally had a chance to make money for themselves and their children, so it was understandable that she worked so hard.

　　Even if Minamiya Yu asked her to slow down, she probably wouldn't listen.

　　Shaking his head, Minamiya Yu continued to busy himself with his own things.

　　The main body of this game is not difficult to make. Even though it is difficult to find materials for pixel-style textures now, it is easy to draw one on the spot. The map is not very big. Relying on the Titan game engine developed by Anti-Entropy, the map was completed in just a few days.

　　Then, with the help of Hatsune Miku, he designed the program and plot. Given his existing conditions, this was not difficult.

　　The most difficult part for him about this game as a whole is probably the production of the music.

　　He had only learned a little guitar, so it was a bit of a pipe dream for him to reproduce the music in his mind. Learning the piano was even more of a simple task that could not be completed quickly.

　　Therefore, during this period of time, he began to take time out to learn basic music theory, and with the help of Hatsune Miku, he worked hard to break down the music echoing in his mind into small notes, and then input the music score into the computer to listen to whether the tune was correct.

　　As for the music arrangement, he plans to find professionals to do it.

　　Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals.

　　He is smart, but he is not a superman and cannot do everything.

　　Ding Dong, a message popped up in the lower right corner again.

　　【picture】

　　【Guess where I am? ?~】

Chapter 5 This is youth~

　　"Brothers, everyone, look at me, look at me, I have something to announce!"

　　The morning classes were over, and it was time for lunch, which Minamiya Yu was looking forward to.

　　While Minamiya Yu was heating up the lunch box, Sugisaki Ken called out to the group of people working in the convenience store.

　　"Hmm? What's wrong?"

　　Turning his head, he said with some confusion, "It's a good thing there is no Brother Tiger in this world, otherwise Sugisaki Ken would probably not have the face to shout out this sentence."

　　"Don't you feel like something is missing at noon today?"

　　Looking at the two people who still had confused looks on their faces, Sugisaki Ken said with some regret.

　　Sugisaki Ken, Kitahara Iori, Kiritani Kazuto and Minamiya Yu, because they go to the store to buy bread at noon every day, Sugisaki Ken jokingly calls them the store quartet.

　　Kitahara and Kirito looked at each other, and then looked at Sugisaki Ken with even more confused eyes, wondering what was wrong with him.

　　Seeing this, Sugisaki Ken's expression gradually became ferocious, and he said word by word: "We are short of people, short of people, don't you feel that there is one person missing among us?"

　　"Are you talking about that guy Ayu?" Grandpa Tong said in confusion.

　　"You just didn't plan on going to the canteen, didn't you? Isn't it normal to go to the cafeteria for a change of pace?"

　　Kitahara looked indifferent, and even looked at Sugizaki Key with a bit of sarcasm: "Key, why do you care so much about Yu? You can't have given up your harem plan and turned gay."

　　"I'll bend your head, and you'll bend! My sincere love for the student union is evident to all of you!!!"

　　Seeing that Sugisaki Ken was about to say something again, Kitahara and Kirito shook their heads, turned around and prepared to continue walking towards the store.

　　If you go too late, you won’t be able to get the fried noodles or bread.

　　"Wait wait wait, I really have something to say!!"

　　"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. There will be a lot of people here soon. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here."

　　It was obvious that Kitahara was already a little impatient, and even Master Tong frowned a little.

　　They really don't want to experience the scene of being crowded into a convenience store.

　　"Well, Ayu brought a lunch box with him today."

　　After breathing a sigh of relief, Sugisaki Ken said seriously.

　　"......"

　　"......"

　　Kitahara tilted his head and looked at Sugisaki Ken with an expression as if he was looking at an idiot, as if to say: That's it?

　　"It's just a lunch box, why......"

　　"That bento was made by a girl."

　　“!!!!!!”

　　Kitahara's words came to an abrupt halt, and his originally handsome face suddenly became expressionless.

　　"Really? Haha, so that Yu guy has betrayed us?" The voice became a little distorted, which made Kirito subconsciously walk out.

　　Although Sugisaki Ken always talks about harems, this is so ridiculous that everyone thinks he is joking.

　　"It was actually done by a girl, that's great~"

　　Uncle Tong was not jealous at all. He was always very Buddhist about such things. If it was a friend, he would even send his blessings.

　　There is no SAO in this world, and as a otaku, it is naturally difficult for him to meet his goddess, which is somewhat a pity.

　　At this time, Minamiya Yu, who had heated up his lunch box, walked in slowly. When he saw the three people gathered together, he greeted them with a smile.

　　"Hey, why are you standing in the classroom instead of going to buy lunch?"

　　As he said this, he pulled out a chair and sat down on it, then carefully placed his lunch box on the cleaned desk.

　　Opening the light blue lunch box, it is divided into two layers. The lower layer is filled with rice, and there is a cute smiley face drawn with black sesame seeds on it.

　　The upper layer contains some dishes that are easy to carry, such as tamagoyaki beef meatballs. In the corner, there are also a few small balls of cooked vegetables with sauce, and the combination of meat and vegetables is quite balanced.

　　The rice that had just been heated in the microwave immediately emitted wisps of hot steam when it was turned on. Minamiya Yu picked up the chopsticks and began to eat impatiently.

　　"Why, you're not going?"

　　Seeing Minamiya Yu's happy look while eating, Kitaharas originally ferocious expression gradually subsided. He turned around without paying attention to Sugisaki Ken's questions.

　　"never mind."

　　At this moment, Grandpa Tong discovered that Kitahara's back seemed to be a little hunched.

　　Without being influenced by any diving club, Kitahara, who currently has a flat head, still has some conscience, not much, but a little.

　　"Let's go to the store."

　　Seeing that the plan of driving the tiger to devour the wolf failed, Sugisaki Ken shook his head with some regret.

　　Grandpa Tong was a little confused, but he still followed obediently.

　　A few minutes later, looking at the three-layered store inside and outside, Grandpa Tong sighed subconsciously.

　　As expected, he was late. After being delayed for so long, he had already prepared himself mentally in advance.

　　Forget it, let's squeeze in today...

　　"Give me the money."

　　Kitahara, who had been silent all the way, suddenly turned around and looked at them with a gloomy face.

　　"money?"

　　While Mr. Kirito was still confused, Sugisaki Ken had already handed over the money to buy the bread.

　　Seeing this, as if he understood something, Uncle Tong put the change he had prepared into Kitahara's hands.

　　“Huh~”

　　After slowly letting out a sigh of relief, Kitahara suddenly stopped and then rushed towards the crowded crowd in an instant.

　　“Ohh ...

　　Accompanied by hysterical roars, Kitahara was "buried" in the unstoppable flow of people.

　　“This is youth~”

　　Sugisaki Ken wiped the corners of his eyes as if he was moved.

　　Uncle Tong: "......"

　　Okay, as long as you are happy.

　　......

　　"Or do you want to go to the Student Union?"

　　There were not many textbooks in the afternoon, and it was time to go home from school early as the sun was still high in the sky.

　　The classroom suddenly became noisy, everyone was happily cleaning up their desks and discussing their next plans.

　　"Yes, in order to conquer everyone in the student union, I dare not slack off for a single day. Even Ayu has found a girlfriend, so I have to work harder too."

　　"Oh, come on."

　　Looking at Sugisaki Ken's energetic appearance, Kitahara waved his hand indifferently, without any sense of defenselessness like he had at noon.

　　What a joke. He was trying to conquer four people in the room at the same time, and all four of them were beautiful girls. Did he really think that reality was like those hypnosis books?

　　Except for Minamiya Yu, almost everyone thought that Sugisaki Ken was joking.

　　However, Sugisaki Ken's words caused a stir among the girls.

　　"Hey? Minamiya classmate actually has a girlfriend, I'm surprised~"

　　"It's so sudden. We haven't even received any news."

　　"Oh, that's a pity. I remember our class... No, no, I can't say that..."

　　Speaking of which, Minamiya Yu is actually quite popular in school.

　　He is tall, handsome, cheerful, and very kind. If he were in a sports club or something like that, he would probably be very popular. Unfortunately, it is a homecoming club, and it is impossible to make an appointment with him. There is almost no chance to spend time with him.

　　After one or two girls' confessions were rejected, those girls who liked gossip put Minamiya Yu in the basket of "it's impossible to have a relationship". Unexpectedly, this "iron tree" in their impression suddenly "bloomed" today.

　　They followed Minamiya Yu's whereabouts with their eyes, but found that his seat was empty, and it was obvious that he had left.

Chapter 4 Seele: Oh, you are blushing~

　　The short spring break of more than ten days is over, and it is time to go back to school again.

　　The past ten days have been relatively peaceful without any twists and turns. Bronya has made up her mind to completely shut herself off from the world, and sometimes even Seele can't knock on her door.

　　If it weren't for the fact that artificial intelligence was used to understand Bronya's condition, Minamiya Yu might have just barged in.

　　As for the other side, Minamiya Yu's life was much more comfortable.

　　Every day I eat three meals carefully prepared by Seele, work in the morning, spend time with Seele in the afternoon, and spend half of the evening with Seele and half with work. Life is so fulfilling, much better than before when I was alone.

　　The semesters in the Far East are a bit special. They have a three-semester system. After a short spring break, they will be promoted to the second semester of high school.

　　"Brother, why is your collar not fixed again?"

　　Early in the morning, Seele and Minamiya Yu had finished their breakfast and stood at the door with their schoolbags ready to leave.

　　Looking at her brother's loose bow tie, Seele said something helpless, then took the initiative to step forward, got close to her brother's body, stretched out her little hand and gently helped him fix it.

　　The sweet scent of a young girl wafted over Minamiya Yu's face, causing her to smile.

　　This was of course intentional. Ever since he tidied it himself last time and saw Seele's somewhat disappointed look, he never tidied it himself again.

　　Seele naturally understood this, but both of them tacitly agreed not to point it out.

　　After finishing the meticulous tidying up, Seele reluctantly withdrew her hand after confirming again and again that everything was alright. Then she picked up the silver-gray scarf she had knitted for her brother and put it around his neck.

　　"It's a bit windy today, brother, please keep warm~"

　　Speaking of this scarf, after Seele gave it to her personally a few days ago, Minamiya Yu couldn't help but kiss Seele's little face. As a result, Seele was shy and ignored him that day.

　　"So does Seele."

　　Minamiya Yu picked up another sky blue scarf and helped Seele put it on. It was the gift he gave to Seele last Christmas.

　　"Hehe, then Seele will go find Sister Bronya first, and brother remember to bring your lunch box."

　　Standing on tiptoe and tapping her little leather shoes, Seele opened the door. The slightly cold air made her breathe a sigh of relief. The sun had risen to halfway in the sky, and the soft light fell on Seele's body, reflecting her school uniform.

　　The red collar, cuffs and skirt are worn with a black jacket on top. The bright yellow bow tie is full of youthfulness, and underneath is a set of warm black stockings that reach the waist, reflecting an alluring light in the sun.

　　This is the school uniform of Sakuranomiya Girls' High School.

　　That’s right, a girls’ high school.

　　After having a conflict with Bronya a year ago, she gave up the Toyogasaki Academy that everyone had chosen before, and instead took Seele to Sakuranomiya Girls' High School not far next door.

　　When Minamiya Yu heard the news, his eyes went dark.

　　But a year has passed, and Minamiya Yu feels that this is pretty good. It would be bad if Seele was allowed to hang out with those idiots in his class and was polluted.

　　Standing at the door, the cold wind made his body shrink. Fortunately, the scarf knitted by Seele blocked the bad guys who wanted to get into his neck.

　　I glanced at the little heart embroidered by Seele on the edge of the scarf. Well, it will be warmer now.

　　It didn't take long before the door opposite opened.

　　Seele pulled out Bronya, who was obviously still a little tired. She had obvious dark circles under her eyes and her steps were a little unsteady. Her school uniform was neatly worn, probably because of Seele's help. Her hastily combed hair was simply tied behind her head with a rubber band, which made Minamiya Yu frown secretly.

　　It would be a pity if such beautiful silver hair was ruined by staying up late.

　　Noticing Minamiya Yu across the street, Bronya subconsciously alerted herself, forced herself to be alert, and looked at him stubbornly with tired eyes, as if she didn't want to show her weak side in front of him.

　　Seele pulled Bronya over, and Minamiya Yu followed them silently.

　　Along the way, the two were silent, with only Seele chattering and trying to bring up some topics. Either Minamiya Yu took over and Bronya shut up, or Bronya took over and Minamiya Yu shut up.

　　Soon, we reached the intersection where we had to part ways.

　　This was the only interaction between Minamiya Yu and Bronya in the day. In the past, the two could still talk to each other, until Bronya's work flopped, and then they fell silent.

　　He paused for a moment, and without looking at Bronya, he simply said calmly: "It's better to stay up less late in the future."

　　Hearing this, Bronya stopped moving forward, bit her lip, opened and closed her teeth slightly, and finally responded softly: "...None of your business."

　　"But I don't want to see your body get hurt."

　　Staying up late is bad for your health. This is not just talk. It was fine before when Seele was there, but now she is alone and she is feeling angry. I guess she will try her best to squeeze her body.

　　Of course, it is impossible to return Seele.

　　Shaking her head, Minamiya Yu finally looked in the direction of Bronya, but she still did not look back. She even quickened her pace, leaving Seele behind.

　　".......Um."

　　The calm response came from the silent road along with the breeze, and Minamiya Yu finally smiled. He waved to Seele, and the little girl also smiled and waved in response. Then he walked towards another road.

　　Seeing her brother leave, Seele quickly quickened her pace to catch up with Bronya who was already waiting for her.

　　Hugging her arms affectionately, Seele opened her eyes wide in surprise as soon as she turned her head. Then, she chuckled and pointed her little finger at Sister Bronya's face: "Sister Bronya, you are blushing~"

　　"I, I didn't..."

　　Bronya turned her head away, not wanting Seele to see her now hot cheeks.

　　"Hey, don't be shy, let Seele see it~"

　　“No…”

　　"Let Seele see!"

　　......

　　Not to mention the two sisters who were laughing and playing, Minamiya Yu soon met an acquaintance.

　　"Hey, KEY-kun, good morning."

　　"It's Ayu, good morning~"

　　Wearing a black suit-like school uniform, Sugisaki Ken, with short brown hair fluttering in the wind, smiled and waved at him.

　　At first he thought it was just a Honkai parallel world, but after seeing Toyogasaki, Sobu High School and a series of familiar names, he realized that it was actually a hodgepodge.

　　Sugisaki Ken, the hero of "Student Council's Personal Opinion" in the previous life, is similar to the plot in the previous life. He is upright and more philanthropic. The two of them hit it off and soon became good friends.

　　In addition, there is also a guy named Kitahara Iori who has a good relationship with Minamiya Yu.

　　By the way, even Grandpa Tong is here, but because this guy likes to stay at home and play games, even though we have a good relationship, we don’t have much time to play together.

　　As for why the ones he has good relationships with are all boys, to be honest, with Seele and Bronya around him, he really has little interest in those so-called heroines.

　　She clapped her hands casually with him and the two walked side by side.

　　"Did you bring a lunch box today?"

　　Noticing that Minamiya Yu had a small handbag in her hand in addition to her schoolbag, Sugisaki Ken said with some curiosity.

　　"Um."

　　"Hey~ Can I have a taste at noon? Come to think of it, I haven't tasted your cooking yet."

　　Rubbing his hands in curiosity, Sugisaki Ken said curiously.

　　“I didn’t do this.”

　　Turning his head, Minamiya Yu responded mysteriously.

　　"It wasn't you who did this...wait, could it be..."

　　Sugisaki Ken's eyes gradually widened, and his voice was filled with disbelief.

　　"Yes, that's what you were thinking."

　　"...What? It's just a handmade lunch box given by a girl. I'm not envious at all."

　　Although he said this, Sugisaki Ken's eyes had already started to turn red.

　　"Indeed, it should be a simple thing to live with a girl you like and eat the meals she cooks every day, don't you think, Key-kun~"

　　"......"

　　He easily took a step forward and dodged Sugisaki Ken's hand that was pinching his neck. Minamiya Yu dodged left and right, making it impossible for him to even touch his collar.

　　This is all thanks to the training she received in the orphanage since she was a child. After all, Cocolia was a military man, and she educated her children according to her own methods.

　　“Ahhhhh, you deserve to die!!!”

　　According to the law of conservation of smile, the smile will not increase or decrease, it will only transfer from one person's face to another. For example, now, the smile has transferred from Sugisaki Ken's face to Minamiya Yu's face.

　　It makes sense, right?

Chapter 3 New Game

　　After dinner, Minamiya Yu took a break, sat on the sofa and chatted with Seele for a while, and then returned to the studio on the second floor.

　　The studio is simply furnished. Apart from some office supplies, there is a computer with sufficient performance, a projector, a large screen, a drawing board, and a transparent glass cabinet.

　　On the top layer of the glass cabinet, there are two game boxes with charming girls printed on them. They are the two games he has released before.

　　He plans to put all the games he makes in the future in a cabinet. When the cabinet is full, he will be able to look back on his life.

　　Sitting on an ergonomic chair, Minamiya Yu turned on the computer. A cute three-headed man with green twin ponytails popped out from the corner of the screen, and a voice with a slightly electronic texture came out of the speakers: "Master, welcome home."

　　The little man on the screen was smiling and waving happily.

　　This is the most advanced artificial intelligence in Anti-Entropy. Bronya has it, and Minamiya Yu will naturally not be left behind. They are all privately sponsored by Cocolia.

　　The operation of artificial intelligence is naturally a free anti-entropy server. He is just a port for receiving information. Now he naturally cannot afford the consumption of artificial intelligence.

　　When Minamiya Yu saw this thing, a very impressive image emerged in his mind.

　　Hatsune Miku.

　　Then, a cute little man waving a green onion appeared on his computer.

　　The programming of the first two games was basically completed by Hatsune Miku, but it was okay for these simple games. When it comes to those complex 3A masterpieces in the future, we can no longer rely solely on her.

　　“Help me create a new folder.”

　　"Yes, sir!"

　　Hatsune raised her hand cutely, then took out a folder from the pocket of her skirt and threw it at the screen with a whoosh.

　　"Master, it's done~"

　　"Well, good job."

　　After praising Hatsune Miku and seeing her happy expression, Minamiya Yu closed his eyes happily.

　　The "book" in his memory was opened, and the games he had played before came to his mind. He drooled at first as he looked at masterpieces such as "Titanfall", "Dark Souls", and "GTA". Unfortunately, he couldn't make these games even if he was paid.

　　Suppressing his inner excitement, he turned his attention to those smaller games that he could produce with his current abilities, which just happened to meet the requirements for participating in the mini-game festival.

　　'Vampire Survivor', 'Noita', 'Ashe', 'Plants vs. Zombies'...

　　Flipping through them one by one, Minamiya Yu fell into deep thought. Any one of these games could beat Bronya's mecha game, but as his first game (non-GAL), he still had some ideas.

　　As far as he can remember, there was a work that made him fall in love with stand-alone games in his previous life, and he is still deeply impressed by it today.

　　He had played a lot of stand-alone games since he was a child, but the one he really fell in love with was an icon he accidentally clicked on that afternoon.

　　Searching his memory, he soon saw the familiar name and the scenes that once moved him.

　　Without much hesitation, he made the decision.

　　I will use this as my own work in this Saint Freya's Mini-Game Festival. It will also be my first mark left in the history of games in this world.

　　Of course, butter doesn’t count.

　　Soon, each level and each scene replayed in his mind like a movie. After a long time, he opened his eyes.

　　This game is not difficult to make. With his own help and that of Hatsune Miku, he can basically get the main body of the game done. The most difficult part is how to make the game music.

　　Looking at the blank folder, the knowledge he had learned and his previous experience helped him quickly figure out how to make the game. Not long after, he started typing on the keyboard, and his speed gradually increased.

　　There was no blockage in this kind of thinking, and the smooth typing made him feel happy to the core. With the help of Hatsune Miku, the content in the newly created folder was quickly filled up.

　　It was not until the crescent moon was high in the sky and the night was quiet that Seele's knock on the door woke him up.

　　"Brother, it's already late, it's time to take a shower and rest~"

　　Wearing cute little bunny pajamas, Seele wiped her still wet hair with a towel and said to her brother in the room.

　　"Got it~"

　　I looked down at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. It was indeed time to rest.

　　Minamiya Yu sorted out the files and asked Hatsune to turn off the computer. He then stood up and stretched.

　　Sitting for a long time made Minamiya Yu groan on his back, and the tingling sensation made him take a breath.

　　It seems that I need to exercise regularly in the future.

　　Shaking his neck, he heard a crisp sound, then Minamiya Yu walked behind Seele who had turned around, stretched out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder.

　　"Elder brother?"

　　Seele turned around in confusion. Her little face, which had just taken a bath, looked rosy and cute, making him want to take a bite of it.

　　"There's no need to rush to take a bath. It would be a shame if I missed the chance to blow dry Seele's hair."

　　Smiling, he took the towel from Seele's hand and took the lead to walk towards Seele's room.

　　Seele's eyes also lit up, and she followed her brother with a smile.

　　The door was not locked, and Minamiya Yu easily opened it and walked in. The main color of the room was lovely light pink. Although Seele's favorite color was the pure sky blue, this cold color was not suitable as the main color of the room after all, so she finally chose a warm color like light pink, which was warm and cute like a little girl.

　　Seele took quick steps and sat obediently in front of the dressing table. Minamiya Yu picked up the hair dryer on the table, turned it on and tested the temperature. After confirming that there was no problem, he stood behind Seele.

　　The whistling warm wind blew on Seele's hair. Minamiya Yu moved gently, and his five fingers slowly shuttled through the thick hair, which was stained with the fragrance of shampoo.

　　Seele felt her brother's gentle movements, closed her eyes comfortably, with a comfortable smile on her face.

　　Sister Bronya is busy working until late every day and hasn't helped her blow dry her hair for a long time. She didn't expect that her brother still remembered this, which made Seele feel sweet in her heart.

　　"What was Seele doing just now?"

　　Minamiya Yu spoke casually while his hands kept moving.

　　Just now, of course I was helping my brother knit a scarf!

　　However, this is a surprise and I can’t tell you yet.

　　Seele's big eyes moved left and right, and then she responded casually: "I just made some handicrafts that Seele likes, and I didn't do anything special~"

　　“I see.”

　　Minamiya Yu had no doubt that Seele had liked to play with cute little things since she was a child.

　　"Brother, are you making a new game?"

　　Seeing this, Seele quickly changed the subject and said while looking into her brother's eyes in the mirror.

　　"Yes, Seele, do you want to know the content?"

　　In the mirror, Minamiya Yu raised her eyebrows and said something in an inexplicable tone.

　　Suddenly, Seele recalled her brother’s two previous works in her mind.

　　This, this, she is only 16 years old, how can she know all this!

　　Even when it comes to her brother's works, she has only read a little bit, really just a little bit, no more!

　　Red spread across Seele's cheeks and she stammered, unable to speak.

　　"It seems that Seele knows my work very well."

　　Seeing that Seele didn't say anything, Minamiya Yu added another sentence, which made Seele even more embarrassed. She simply closed her eyes and chose to be a hiding little squirrel.

　　"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. This time I'm not playing the game you thought I was playing."

　　Seele's hair had been blown almost dry. Minamiya Yu put away the hair dryer, raised his hand and patted her little head.

　　"Really?"

　　Seele turned her head and opened her watery and shy eyes. The rippling eyes were filled with rare charm. Her whispering voice sounded both angry and shy, like sticky honey.

　　Minamiya Yu was stunned by this alluring look. His heartbeat gradually accelerated and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

　　He quickly turned his head, coughed twice and said, "Of course it's true. Don't worry, I'll let you play first when the time comes."

　　After saying this, he quickly fled from Seele's room.

　　Outside the door, he heaved a sigh of relief after closing it. Thinking back to Seele's delicate and soft appearance just now, his heart was moved again.

　　It seems that I am too confident in my own determination...

Chapter 2 Returning Home

　　"Huh, we're home~"

　　The fiery red setting sun hung in the sky, and the warm orange light illuminated Minamiya Yu and Seele who had returned to their residential area.

　　Upon hearing that the three of them were coming to the Far East to study, Cocolia immediately set about finding them several adjacent single-family houses. Each house was about 200 square meters in size, with two floors and a small yard for parking. The first floor had a living room, bathroom, kitchen and storage room for sundries. On the second floor were a master bedroom, a second bedroom, an empty room that could be arranged by oneself, a bathroom and a toilet. At the side, there was also a small terrace with good lighting for sunbathing and resting.

　　Here at Minamiya Yu's place, he converted the empty room into his own studio. Now he had no money and no people, so he had to do everything related to the game by himself. Fortunately, he had a clear memory, which was enough for him to snowball little by little according to the plan.

　　Walking through the tidy courtyard, the small stones protruding from the stone road irritated the soles of my feet, making them numb and itchy, and then they felt hot.

　　Click, the door was opened with the key, and Minamiya Yu and Seele, who had been walking around for a day, returned to the room one after another with a sense of ease.

　　Without buying too many things, she placed the small bag in her hand on the shelf beside her. Seele, who was following behind her, skillfully took out her own blue slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door. She also took out Minamiya Yu's pair and bent down to place them at his feet.

　　Minamiya Yu and Bronya live quite close to each other, just across a narrow road. They can see the windows on the opposite side by opening the window and they can reach each other in two steps. Therefore, Seele is naturally a frequent visitor here.

　　"Seele, the room upstairs has been cleaned up. Check right away to see if there is anything missing. After dinner, we will go to the convenience store together."

　　After stretching, Minamiya Yu walked slowly around the house. The fatigue from a whole day's walk seemed to disappear at this moment.

　　"Yeah, I know, brother~"

　　Seele picked up the small bag beside her, which contained some small handmade items. The weather at the end of March was still a little chilly, and the wind was quite strong recently. Seele wanted to take advantage of the few days off to help her brother knit a thin scarf.

　　The second bedroom upstairs was already filled with Seele's things. Minamiya Yu had planned this since Bronya's work flopped half a month ago. She then secretly contacted Seele and turned her into a little traitor. A few days later, she secretly transferred her things to her brother's house. Bronya was completely unaware of this.

　　Today, everything has finally been settled.

　　When passing by the kitchen, the room was not closed tightly. Through the large gap, a takeaway bag placed on the ground appeared in Minamiya Yu's sight.

　　In an instant, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously stood between Seele and the kitchen door.

　　Such an abnormality was noticed almost instantly by Seele, who grew up with her brother. Her eyes immediately became suspicious, and she squeezed her little head directly under her brother's armpit, ignoring her brother's somewhat smirking attempt to try to stop her. Although it was a little uncomfortable to be clamped by his arm, Seele got to see the scene in the kitchen as she wished.

　　Suddenly, the cute eyebrows frowned, and Seele pulled the little head out of her arms, pinched her waist, and looked at her brother with a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.

　　"Brother, didn't we agree not to eat takeout anymore?!"

　　“This is not what I eat.”

　　Recalling the time when Seele scolded him for having diarrhea after eating takeout, Minamiya Yu forced himself to remain calm and responded calmly.

　　Seele didn't answer, but just looked at him straight with her sky blue eyes. The pure look in her eyes made Minamiya Yu feel uneasy, as if to say, they are all at brother's house, if it wasn't you who ate them, then who could have eaten them?

　　"It was Sugisaki. He came over to play with me yesterday and insisted on ordering takeout. I couldn't stop him."

　　"Real?"

　　Seele knew that this Sugisaki Ken was her brother's classmate and also a good friend of her brother. She had heard her brother talk about him several times before, but she had never met him.

　　"Really? Seele, you know me."

　　Taking a step forward, Minamiya Yu held Seele's little hand with a sincere look in his eyes.

　　The sudden attack startled Seele for a moment, and her voice became hesitant.

　　"Well, I know, I know, Seele, it's not enough to trust your brother."

　　Seele turned her head away, not daring to look into her brother's eyes again. Being so close to him in such a closed and private environment made her little heart start beating wildly.

　　However, she did not choose to break free. Instead, she moved silently closer to her brother with a blushing face.

　　Phew~

　　Minamiya Yu heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the somewhat shy Seele, which was exactly what he expected.

　　Growing up with Seele, how could he not know this little girl's weaknesses?

　　After holding her hand for a while and feeling Seele's soft little hand, Minamiya Yu reluctantly let her go and turned around to walk towards the stairs.

　　"Brother, forget it this time, but don't eat takeout next time."

　　"I know, I know..."

　　Before he finished speaking, Minamiya Yu's body stiffened for a moment, and he turned around suddenly. At this time, Seele's face no longer had any shy expression. Her cute brows frowned again, and she looked at him angrily: "Sure enough, this takeaway is for my brother to eat!"

　　"......"

　　It’s bad, his Seele has learned to play tricks, damn it, who taught her such bad things!

　　Recalling the past, Minamiya Yu was stunned for a moment.

　　Oh, it’s me, that’s okay.

　　After being successfully taught a lesson by Seele, and promising to either order food from familiar restaurants or eat food he cooked himself in the future, Minamiya Yu nodded repeatedly, indicating that what Seele said was right.

　　What a joke. Now that Seele is here, why would he still eat out? Isn't the food Seele made by herself delicious?

　　After throwing the garbage at the door, Seele skillfully took down the apron hanging on the wall and put it on easily in a few quick steps. Then she whispered a few words to her brother who was standing aside as punishment, and drove him out of the kitchen with a look of amnesty on his face.

　　Not long after, the rhythmic sound of cutting vegetables could be heard.

　　Looking at Seele's reflection in the kitchen glass, Minamiya Yu's exaggerated expression quickly disappeared. He stood there, his brows softened, smiling, and watching the scene quietly.

　　Sure enough, this is what a home is. Although it is quiet to be alone, he still likes the feeling of having such important people around him.

　　Picking himself up, he turned and went upstairs. The next step was to defeat Bronya and bring her back!

　　Bronya did work hard, but how could he lose if he cheated?

Chapter 1 Sign it, Bronya

　　Tick-tick-tick.

　　This is a palm with distinct joints and neatly trimmed nails. The flat fingertips tap on the solid wood table again and again, making a series of crisp sounds.

　　In this relatively private cubicle of the coffee shop, a young man named Minamiya Yu was looking at the person opposite him with a smile on his face, looking quite pleased.

　　Under the short black hair is a fairly handsome face. Although he is not earth-shatteringly handsome, he can at least be called a handsome young man in the area. Under the loose black and white casual clothes is a well-trained body. He has an enviable figure that makes him look thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.

　　The faint sunlight refracted through the glass and spread across the room. The air was filled with the bitterness of coffee and the aroma of milk. The blended flavors slightly stimulated the sense of smell of the people present. In the quiet room, the knocking sounds weighed on the heart of a young girl opposite, making her already tense lips look even more bitter.

　　The girl had long silver curly hair, which reached her waist and was tied behind her head with a hairband. Her pretty face was as delicate as a painting, but there was a lingering haze on her frowned brows, the source of which came from a small stack of A4 papers placed on the table in front of her.

　　She was wearing a dress with a thin grey shirt as the base, which outlined her already well-developed figure. Not to mention her breasts with obvious curves, the soft black skirt fell due to gravity, and the arc light reflected her round and plump legs. Just by imagining it, one could understand how seductive the shape of her hips and legs must be.

　　As for the black stockings wrapped around the slender calves under the skirt, they were even more stunning, extending all the way to the soles of the feet and being gathered and tightened by a pair of brown leather shoes. Minamiya Yu didn't even dare to imagine how delicious it would be after taking off the shoes. His eyes drifted away silently several times, and he sighed in his heart at the girl's growth over the years.

　　There was another girl sitting next to her.

　　She was different from the silver-haired girl. Her cute little face, which was specially dressed up, did not show much bitterness under her black and blue shoulder-length hair. However, her sea-like pupils kept moving, looking at the girl and the boy, with a slightly conflicted look on her face.

　　She seemed to want to say something, but due to the atmosphere, she didn't dare to open her mouth. She could only pinch the blue and white skirt on her body with her two little hands, rubbing it back and forth, making two small wrinkles. She looked timid, and people wanted to hold her in their arms and pity her.

　　"Have you finished reading? Then sign here."

　　despair.

　　The mocha in his hand was only half full. Minamiya Yu put down the cup, looked across, and spoke slowly and casually.

　　"I, I..."

　　The girl tightly grasped the pen in her hand and bit her lips. Anyone could see the strong unwillingness in her eyes.

　　"Why, you can't write? Do you need me to teach you how to write your name? Bronya Zaychik."

　　When talking about the name of the girl opposite, Minamiya Yu deliberately slowed down his voice, speaking in a playful tone with a hint of sarcasm.

　　He was not in a hurry. As the winner for the time being, he had enough patience to appreciate the cute and unwilling look of the girl opposite, especially the angry look of the girl after being provoked by him, which was quite interesting.

　　"I don't need you to teach me!"

　　Bronya almost uttered these words through gritted teeth, glanced at the girl beside her with an apologetic look, and then placed the pen tip on the A4 paper with trembling hands.

　　He heard the rustling sound of the pen tip touching the paper. Seeing Bronya lower her head, Minamiya Yu turned his gaze to her side. As if they had telepathic connection, the black-haired girl also turned her gaze.

　　They looked at each other smoothly, gazing at the ocean in the pupils, a smile appeared on Minamiya Yu's lips, and his eyes became quite gentle. He opened his mouth and said a few words silently. The girl opposite was stunned for a moment, but soon her face brightened up and she showed him a sweet and lovely smile.

　　This smile of unreserved trust, which had remained the same since childhood, made Minamiya Yu's vision a little dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to a very young age.

　　The three of them actually came from the same orphanage and grew up together. Their relationship is no less than that of real brothers and sisters.

　　Especially Minamiya Yu and Bronya, both of them are heavy game enthusiasts. When they were young, they often played video games secretly at night without telling the aunt in the orphanage.

　　At this time, another girl, Seele Vollerei, would help them keep watch. Seele had always been their little follower, and the three of them had the best relationship in the entire orphanage.

　　“Let’s make games together when we grow up. Let’s make the most fun games in the world!”

　　One day, little Bronya called the two of them out and said excitedly.

　　"OK."

　　The little boy agreed without hesitation. This was also what he thought.

　　As for Seele-chan, seeing that her favorite brothers and sisters had expressed their opinions, she naturally didn't want to be left behind and hurriedly raised her hand.

　　"Any ideas for game genres?"

　　"Robot, Bronya wants to be a big robot!!"

　　The young girl shouted.

　　At that time, the three people might have thought that they would be together forever, but unfortunately, the reality is always contrary to one's wishes.

　　The director of the orphanage, Cocolia, was promoted to a senior position in Anti-Entropy, one of the world's three largest technology companies, in less than ten years because of her outstanding abilities. As a result, the conditions in the orphanage also improved.

　　She has always treated the children in the orphanage as her own sons and daughters and naturally would not treat them badly. However, as a strong woman, she understands that she cannot tie the children down by her side and must let them learn to be independent.

　　Therefore, whenever a child graduates from junior high school, he or she will be sent out of the orphanage. Cocolia will provide initial support, but the child will have to rely on himself for life afterwards.

　　When the children graduate from high school or college, the orphanage can help them find a job to make a living, and those with excellent grades can return to her and become a member of Anti-Entropy.

　　Minamiya Yu and the other two were sent out after graduating from junior high school. Since their target university had already been decided to be St. Freya University, which had the best game production major in the world, they came directly to the Far East since high school.

　　Although Cocolia treated every child in the orphanage as her own, she always had some preferences. As her three favorite children in the orphanage, she gave them generous support.

　　Not only was each person given a house, but they were also given enough money to live on for several years.

　　Even the day before the three of them left, Cocolia pulled them into the bedroom and talked to them for the whole night. In the end, she said that if they felt uncomfortable outside, they could come back at any time, and there would always be a place for the three of them by her side.

　　The three of them originally planned to make the game in order to subsidize the lives of everyone in the orphanage. As a result, as Director Cocolia's position became higher and higher, she was promoted directly to the top of Anti-Entropy.

　　So, money became a simple string of numbers in her eyes.

　　Other families hope their sons will become successful and their daughters will become outstanding, but they just want their mother to become outstanding.

　　However, this also allows Minamiya Yu and Bronya to pursue their dreams without being disturbed by other things.

　　Leaving the orphanage is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Minamiya Yu and Bronya to start their dreams.

　　However, an irreconcilable dispute arose between the two during their first meeting.

　　Bronya wanted to make the mecha game she had dreamed of for a long time right from the start, but Minamiya Yu felt that they should start with a small-scale game and obtain some initial funds first. The help provided by Dean Cocolia was only enough for them to live, and it was definitely not enough to make a mecha game.

　　The scale of mecha games is too large for them now.

　　As a result, the two had a quarrel and neither could convince the other. In order not to affect their future relationship, they finally signed a two-year contract.

　　Depending on the developments two years later, the weaker party must agree with the other party's ideas and take the other party as the priority.

　　Naturally, the cooperation could not continue for the time being. The three people were originally planning to live in the same house, but that fell through because of this incident.

　　Moreover, an important issue arose after the separation, which was Seele's "rights of ownership".

　　As the favorite sister of both of them, who Seele would live with became the second topic of their dispute.

　　In the end, Bronya took advantage of the convenience of being a girl and forcibly "took Seele for herself", which made Minamiya Yu very angry.

　　Now, a year has passed, and everything has changed.

　　I forgot to mention that since Minamiya Yu fell ill at the age of eight, he often had strange dreams. It was not until the night he left the orphanage that those hazy dreams came together like fragments, piecing together a complete life that he had never expected.

　　He was also an orphan and was lucky enough to have friends and teachers who cared about him. After growing up happily, he just stepped out of the school and added a performance to his job of traveling to another world by saving two children.

　　Maybe it was because his brain did not fully develop when he was a child, or for other reasons, it was not until that night that he recalled the memories of his previous life.

　　Good news.

　　He was not completely killed by the dump truck and was reborn.

　　Bad news.

　　The first moment he realized he was reborn, he thought of his childhood playmates. Oh no, it’s Honkai!

　　Good news.

　　Looking back and calming down, I found that there is indeed no Honkai energy here. This is truly a daily routine, yay!

　　Even better news.

　　After those dream fragments merged, they were like being imprinted in his mind, becoming a "book" that he could read at any time. Everything he had experienced could be easily recalled by just thinking back.

　　Looking at the memory of those masterpieces that he had played in his previous life, Minamiya Yu couldn't help but take a breath.

　　The gaming industry in this world is equally prosperous, but it is still slightly inferior to that of the previous life. The rapid development of science and technology has made people more pursuing technological improvements, more realistic graphics, and better modeling, and the gameplay is not as fancy as in the previous life.

　　If he could make all the games in his memory, and combine them with the technology of this world, he couldn't help but shudder as he imagined the scene.

　　If it really happens, he can give a punch to Walter, the author of the world's number one IP, Homu, and then step on him and shout that I am the king of games.

　　Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile. The game hasn’t even been released yet, so don’t aim too high.

　　However, the more uncomfortable thing is.

　　With only this memory, it would be fine for him to make smaller games. But if he planned to make 3A masterpieces, not to mention the technical aspects, the manpower and material resources required would be beyond his ability to afford now.

　　Therefore, the current primary goal is to make a simple game that can obtain sufficient funds in a short period of time.

　　What games cost less and can sell a lot of copies without any fame or publicity?

　　Sitting in the room thinking hard, gradually, a flash of inspiration came to him and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

　　Between moral integrity and funds for future game development, he chose the latter without much hesitation.

　　Eight months later, a first-person shooter game called "Beautiful Girl Kaleidoscope: The Cursed Legendary Girl" was quietly released.

　　The artist is himself, who has been drawing since he was a child and in college. Apart from hiring a few voice actors, the production cost is almost zero!

　　Naturally, GALGAME also exists in this world, but the evolution of the painting style is random. The ACG style of this world is more realistic.

　　Therefore, once a novel painting style like Kaleidoscope appeared, it quickly became popular in the world with just a few simple CG screenshots.

　　GALGAME is originally a small circle, but thanks to this, information spreads very quickly in the small circle. One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people, and soon, Kaleidoscope's sales exploded as he expected.

　　The otakus in this world have never seen such exciting scenes before. Just a few preview CGs are enough to make them hand over their wallets.

　　So, three months later, "Pretty Girl and Kaleidoscope: Forget-Me-Not and the Eternal Girl" was quickly put on the shelves with the popularity of the first work.

　　The reason why the second part was completed so quickly was not only because he hired a helper with the money he earned, but also because he was familiar with this style of painting.

　　You know, when making the first part, it took him two full months just to learn the painting style from memory.

　　As for Bronya?

　　Relying on the anti-entropy artificial intelligence provided by Cocolia, after she worked hard on the mecha game for more than ten months, it was successfully launched.

　　Not to mention that the game is hard to understand and has some self-entertaining plots. The game levels are also designed according to Bronya's own preferences, so the abnormal difficulty level is not something that ordinary people can play.

　　Coupled with the overused horizontal level-breaking gameplay, if she doesn’t fail, who will?

　　For this game, Bronya almost exhausted all her funds, and the result was, of course, she lost everything.

　　Seele wanted to take out her share of the money, but Bronya refused without hesitation.

　　Failure is shameful enough, and if I still take Seele's money, I will be too ashamed to see Minamiya Yu.

　　However, without money, she would not be able to make games. If she couldn't make new games, then there was no need to wait a year later. She could just admit defeat to Minamiya Yu now.

　　Just when Bronya was at her wit's end and was about to risk her dignity to ask Cocolia for a loan, Minamiya Yu took this opportunity and asked the two of them out with a contract.

　　The content of the contract is simple.

　　The time of the finals has been moved forward to the St. Freya Mini-Game Festival a few months later. Minamiya Yu will be responsible for the research and development funds for Bronya's game optimization, and correspondingly, Seele's "ownership" will belong to him.

　　As for Seele's own wish, she can actually live with anyone. It would be even better if three people could live together. Unfortunately, it will take a long time for her wish to come true.

　　Seeing her brother and sister fighting over her, although it was a bit bad to say so, she was actually still a little happy. Knowing that her favorite brother and sister also liked her the most, it was inevitable that she would be excited.

　　In order to get Seele to live with him, Minamiya Yu spent a lot of money.

　　Judging from the level of expense of Bronya's research, it seems that all the money earned from Kaleidoscope 12 will be lost.

　　He knew that there was no way Bronya would refuse this contract.

　　If they don't sign, then Minamiya Yu will dominate the world a year later and the three of them will still live together.

　　If she signed, she would still have a chance to turn the situation around. For the sake of her ideal, she could only bear the pain and let Seele go. Anyway, the house given by Cocolia was relatively close, so if she wanted to see Seele, she could just walk a few steps.

　　Watching Bronya write her name on the contract stroke by stroke, Minamiya Yu's mouth curled up slowly, and he patted the sofa beside him towards Seele.

　　"Seele, it's time to come over here~"

　　Hearing her brother's voice, Seele secretly glanced at her sister Bronya with a dim look, then nodded obediently, stood up obediently, took small steps and sat next to her brother.

　　Seeing this, in Bronya's suffocating gaze, Minamiya Yu unceremoniously put his arm around Seele's shoulders, feeling the girl's warm body temperature, looking at the opposite side with a victorious smile.

　　"It's still early, do you want to go shopping together?"

　　Feeling the warm hands on her shoulders and the soft voice close to her ears, Seele's little face suddenly turned red and she nodded impatiently.

　　She didn't even feel sad for a moment about her sister Bronya's failure. The upcoming date with her brother had already occupied the top position in Seele's little head.

　　"Then let's go. I'm not like some people who are busy with work after school every day and during holidays. They leave such a lovely Seele aside and don't even have time to spend with her."

　　At the end, Minamiya Yu did not forget to mock Bronya.

　　Bronya lowered her head even more, because Minamiya Yu was right. She had indeed neglected Seele somewhat during the past year because of the game making.

　　Every weekend, Minamiya Yu would take Seele out for a walk, to see the surrounding scenery, eat some delicious food, go to the cinema, amusement park, aquarium, and leave traces of their companionship everywhere. During the holidays, they would go to temple fairs together, watch fireworks, and experience local customs together.

　　And what about her?

　　In order to relieve the anger she felt when signing the contract and to make Minamiya Yu agree with her ideal, she spent almost all of her free time playing games. The house was deserted every day and Seele didn't even have anyone to talk to.

　　"Brother, don't say that. Sister Bronya still cares about Seele."

　　Noticing that sister Bronya's head was lowering lower and lower, Seele quickly grabbed Minamiya Yu's arm, pulled it gently, and said coquettish words.

　　"Real?"

　　"Really~"

　　As if afraid that her brother wouldn't believe her, Seele stuck to him and made some disgusting sounds.

　　Compared to the shy little girl in the memory of the previous life, Seele here has been following him around since she was a child. She is always the 'vanguard' of her brother in doing all kinds of bad things. Although she is still shy, her overall personality is much more cheerful.

　　"Okay, okay, I naturally believe what Seele says."

　　That somewhat helpless voice made Seele smile happily, with bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows.

　　"Let's go. You should know the password of the card I just gave you."

　　After that, Minamiya Yu pulled Seele to stand up, and the two of them, hand in hand, slowly disappeared from Bronya's sight.

　　call......

　　Bronya closed her eyes and exhaled gently. Then, her gloomy and lost eyes gradually became firm.

　　Just wait, she will definitely make Minamiya Yu agree with her ideas, and then everyone will go back to being like they were when they were kids and work together for a common dream!

　　Just when she was about to leave with great ambition, the waiter with a business smile suddenly appeared and stopped her.

　　"?"

　　Seeing her puzzled expression, the waiter kindly reminded her: "Miss, you haven't paid for your coffee yet. Do you want to pay by cash or card?"

　　"......"

　　Hard, the fist is hard.

　　She took a deep breath, took out her wallet, looked at the few dollars' balance in it, was silent for a moment, and with a slightly red face, took out the card that Minamiya Yu had just handed to her.

　　"Swipe, swipe the card."

　　The voice was a little stumbling, enough to show Bronya's inner uneasiness at the moment.

　　Ding Dong.

　　Seeing the payment information suddenly pop up on the phone, Minamiya Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

　　"Brother, what's the matter?"

　　Seele took a small bite of the newly bought Taiyaki, and the sweet taste made her squint her eyes happily. When she heard her brother's sudden laughter, she looked over with some curiosity.

　　"Nothing, I just thought that Bronya was really cruel to me."

　　Shaking his head, Minamiya Yu moved closer to Seele and opened her mouth. Seele also handed over the Taiyaki in tacit understanding.

　　Oops.

　　"......"

　　Looking at the entire 'fish head and body' that almost disappeared in that instant, and her brother's figure who was speeding up and walking forward on his own, Seele stopped, a trace of confusion flashed in her big eyes.

　　Then, she reacted and immediately chased forward, shouting in dissatisfaction: "Brother!"

　　Minamiya Yu also immediately sped up, and the two of them chased each other, leaving a series of laughter along the way.

Chapter 442: Watching the Sea is for Good Comrades

Steve "Five-Five" Rogers, codenamed Captain America, was nicknamed Political Commissar Law.

This character first appeared in the MCU in "Captain America", but his presence at the beginning was not even as strong as Thor's.

After all, Thor can still rely on his brother-con personality and take advantage of Loki's popularity.

But what did Rogers have?

The love-hate relationship between Bucky and the Winter Soldier had just ended. Before the release of Captain America 2, few people knew about the Winter Soldier plot.

Coupled with that overly funny costume, Captain America's popularity before "Captain America 2" was not even as high as Black Widow's.

But "Captain America 1" has to be filmed.

If there was no accumulation of "Captain America 1" and we went straight to "Captain America 2".

Everyone’s first reaction was—

Why is this man with a pot lid on his back being so pretentious?

Without the story foundation of "Captain America 1", it would be difficult for the audience to appreciate the wonderful aspects of "Captain America 2".

But how should "Captain America" be filmed?

Nanaya tapped the table and thought carefully.

The "Captain America" in my memory is not really that outstanding, but it shows the characteristics of Captain America very well.

After all, Captain America has never represented a symbol of American patriotism, but a symbol of the American spirit.

At least, it is the most idealistic symbol.

Although everyone knows the nature of this world's policing, that doesn't stop it from being publicized, right?

Ironically, in "Captain America 1", Captain America described himself as a monkey being ordered around during the time he was selling bonds, and he even drew a picture to mock himself.

But in fact, the whole "Captain America 1" is also a promotional film.

The clip of Steve destroying various Hydra bases is essentially the same as when he was selling bonds.

It can only be said that for a character like Captain America who is born with political attributes, his movies will definitely be more or less tainted with these elements.

But Nanaya is a businessman after all. For him, the reviews of the "Captain America"movie are not what he cares most about. What really matters is making as much money as possible in business.

In terms of the overall layout of the movie and MCU, "Captain America: The Rise of the Captain" not only tells the origin story of Captain America, but also shows the best side of what Rogers represents.

It is most appropriate and correct to follow the original historical practices.

Although the film reviews are not outstanding, they are at least solid.

After all, Captain America is not Thor, so his appearance needs to be more steady.

But since he had no plans to make major changes to the plan, Nanaya felt that he could try to take advantage of the popularity in order to achieve higher commercial results.

Kevin Feige proposed that the film is expected to be released in 2008. What better year than this to take advantage of the popularity?

No more...

Thinking of this, Nanaya's mouth curled up.

Avi Arad saw his expression, and he placed all his hopes on Nanaya as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Just now, there were several confrontations between Avi Arad and Kevin Feige, but they were all easily repelled by the other side.

Seeing the other party so relaxed, Arad realized that his old subordinate came prepared.

What is more important is the attitude of Washimine. Although Washimine Shion did not explicitly oppose him, Arad could clearly perceive that the other party not only did not blame him for exceeding his authority, but was encouraging Feige to do so.

"After all, Feige didn't formally submit it. It's just a draft. There's no need for you to get so excited."

Shion's words made Arad feel disappointed.

Currently, Marvel has been acquired by Washimine, and Washimine’s chairman has come out to support Kevin Feige. Arad can’t even find a reason to refute, because Marvel is now owned by Washimine!

Judging from the attitudes of other people at the meeting, the heads of other departments at Washimine neither support nor oppose the power grab within Marvel.

But this is not surprising. After all, Marvel was originally a relatively independent organization under Washimine Entertainment. Apart from business connections, other departments of Washimine are more like two companies at other times.

Therefore, Arad could only place his hopes on Nanaya Kiryu. As the largest individual shareholder of Marvel and Washimine Entertainment (Shion participated in the shares in the name of Washimine Head Office), he was the only one among all the people present who could compete with the big boss, Shion Washimine.

However, Arad was disappointed. Nanaya did not object out loud. He just looked at the information in his hand with a faint smile, and it was clear that he did not want to get involved in this mess.

Helpless Arad could only argue with Feige on his own, but as he spoke he found that he was really no match for Feige.

[Why didn't I realize before that this guy is so good at talking? 】

Arad wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He looked at Feige's performance with clenched teeth in anger.

Pop.

Just when Arad was in despair, Nanaya finally put down the information in his hand.

"Director Kiryu, do you have anything to say?"

When Arad saw that Nanaya was finally going to speak, he immediately tried to seek help.

[The old man is desperate and is trying all kinds of treatments. ]

Kevin Feige rubbed his chin with his hand, appearing very confident.

Arad may not have much dealings with Nanaya, so he doesn't understand.

But Feige, who had been working with Nanaya on the "Iron Man" project, knew very well that Nanaya did not like Arad.

Or rather, Nanaya felt deeply disgusted with those old guys at Marvel who were too focused on restoring the comics.

"Regarding Thor and Captain America, I think it's a bit risky to start two projects at the same time."

Nanaya put his thumbs on his chin and said matter-of-factly, "After the success of Iron Man, the launch of Iron Man 2 is inevitable. In addition, The Incredible Hulk is currently in production. If we launch two movies at the same time, will it put too much pressure on the company's cash flow?"

"Yeah yeah."

Arad thought Nanaya was speaking for him, and he kept nodding in agreement.

It was already a fair accomplish that Kevin Feige had proposed a project plan without me, but these two plans must not be passed.

Otherwise, you would really be slapping yourself in the face.

The above is the only thought in Arad’s mind at the moment, so after Nanaya said this, he immediately came up to him in a servile manner.

"Even if we can't shoot right away, we still have to discuss the project first, right?"

Feige's eyebrows furrowed.

He didn't expect Nanaya to raise any objections, but he also knew that Marvel's current cash flow was indeed not enough to start four film projects at the same time.

In fact, Marvel's current financial situation is much better than in its original history.

Because there was no vampire like Paramount to suck blood from the distribution, and Washimine has always supported Marvel.

It is not impossible for Marvel to shoot four movies at the same time, but this will put its cash flow very tight.

This is a situation that Nanaya doesn't want to see.

Nanaya has always hoped that Marvel could produce and sell its own products, ensure a certain degree of independence, and preferably have separate financial accounting.

Washimine is indeed wealthy, but if Marvel continues to rely on Washimine to solve its financial problems, it will not be a good thing for its future development.

At the beginning, it was because Marvel had no money. Now that "Iron Man" has been a success, Marvel should learn to be independent.

There are many reasons for this, the most important of which involves Marvel's cooperation with other Hollywood film companies.

For example, working with Sony to produce the Spider-Man movie.

Or they could license some less important IP characters to small film companies, allowing them to shoot their own movies to enrich the MCU's worldview and product line.

This kind of thing has happened before in history. Marvel originally authorized Netflix to shoot a series of superhero web dramas including "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage".

Marvel's old rival DC also has a case of handing over "Shazam" to Warner's younger brother New Line for production.

Nanaya hopes that Marvel can expand the diversity of MCU products in this way in the future, such as allowing companies that are good at shooting horror films to shoot "Ghost Rider", and allowing companies that are good at shooting R-rated movies to shoot "The Punisher" and so on.

Otherwise, when people mention Marvel in the future, the only thing that comes to their mind is family comedies.

If Marvel can conduct separate financial accounting, then IP licensing and other matters will become much simpler. After all, it is more convenient for two companies to do business than for three companies to cooperate.

"So my opinion is that the Thor project can be slowed down. After all, this hero is a bit special. He has a mythological background and needs careful planning. After all, in everyone's general impression, superhero movies should be more science fiction."

Nanaya tapped the table and expressed his thoughts, "But the Captain America movie project can already be put into operation. After all, 2008 is a great opportunity to promote this character."

"Perfect opportunity?"

Shion, Washimine and the others all had confused looks on their faces. Even Arad didn't understand what Nanaya was up to.

Instead, Feige looked thoughtful.

"The election." Nanaya saw that Arad, an American, didn't react, and said angrily: "Arad, haven't you paid attention to next year's election?"

"Forehead..."

Arad shook his head. Marvel's company was not big enough to participate in such high-end political activities.

"If you've been paying attention to the Democratic presidential candidate next year, you should know that they have nominated an African American to run."

Although Nanaya did not know every great president in American history, he was very clear about Comrade Obama and Mr. Cornhead.

"Director Kiryu, which gentleman do you think can be elected president?"

"It's not a big problem even if he doesn't run, after all, the second candidate of the Democratic Party is a woman." Nanaya shrugged and said, "No matter which of them runs for the presidential election, it will be a carnival of political correctness for the United States."

Movies are often a medium used to reflect people's lives.

Think about it, when the first black president in history was born, the American people were all hopeful that a new era was coming and that the United States would finally truly demonstrate the values of freedom and equality.

At this time, Marvel launched a movie that can reflect everyone’s current inner thoughts and launch a hero that represents the American spirit.

Is there any easier opportunity to make money at the box office than this?

No more.

Chapter 441 Confrontation

Nanaya looked at Kevin Feige with a smile, wanting to know how the other party would answer.

You have to know that even Nanaya didn't know about the two projects "Thor" and "Captain America" in advance, so he couldn't judge whether Feige made the decision himself.

"It's going to be a bit troublesome indeed." Ori complained quietly, "The company is just starting to get better, is it okay to be so competitive?"

"This is capital and profit. Wait, is that true?"

Nanaya replied, but he immediately noticed Ori's choice of words.

"Well, the day before yesterday, Producer Feige and Miss Shion reported this matter. I wanted to ask for your opinion, but unfortunately you were useless at that time..."

When Ori said this, his expression when he looked at Nanaya seemed a little distorted, and there was a bit of disgust.

"Forehead..."

Nanaya recalled how he was like a useless person during the holidays, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, no one in the conference room noticed the little movements of Nanaya and Ori. Everyone's attention was attracted by the two Marvel bosses on TV.

After the success of "Iron Man", everyone knows that Marvel has gone from being a hated piece of trash to being a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.

Not to mention the commercial value of the "Iron Man" IP itself, the remaining Marvel IPs have also become very valuable for commercial development.

Even if the individual values of characters like Captain America and Thor are not as great as Tony Stark, when put together they can at least be on par with the X-Men series, right?

Therefore, control over Marvel Studios becomes very important.

In addition to external investors, Marvel also began to compete for the right to speak in the company.

As the largest shareholder and owner of Marvel Studios, Washimine Entertainment naturally began to pay attention to this hen that lays golden eggs.

But the most intense competition is the power struggle between the top two leaders within Marvel itself.

Avi Arad and Kevin Feige, who were working together at the beginning of last year, had already begun to have a tense relationship before the end of 2006.

The way they looked at this moment really confirmed that statement.

We can share adversity, but not wealth.

However, Washimine Entertainment's attitude towards the struggle between these two people is more like Nanaya's, with the mentality of watching the show.

Anyway, Washimine, who owns absolute shares of Marvel, will definitely not be the loser in this power struggle, so it is understandable that he wants to strike a balance.

Shion is more inclined to Kevin Feige, because Nanaya once said that he has a keen eye for superhero movies, while Avi Arad's ideas are a bit outdated.

Since Nanaya was so determined to invest in Marvel in the first place, his analysis of the company must be more accurate than my own.

But even so, Shion did not intend to express her opinion immediately. In her opinion, Kevin Feige's qualifications were still a little too young.

It would be safer to let Kevin Feige take over after two or three more projects are completed, or after the first phase of Marvel is completed.

But Shion also enjoys occasionally challenging Avi Arad's authority and slowly reducing his power.

If you want to rise to the top by stepping on the dead body of your old boss, you must first beat him until he is paralyzed. Otherwise, who will choose you?

"Kevin, I'm asking you a question. Why don't I know about the Thor and Captain America projects?"

Avi Arad noticed the situation on the other side of the TV screen. After discovering that several senior executives of Washimine were not surprised by this matter, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Kevin Feige lazily leaned on the back of the bench, pretended to think for a moment, and then said slowly: "I am just submitting suggestions to the head office as a producer."

"What?"

Avi Arad bit his lip.

"After the success of Iron Man, I think it is necessary to develop new hero series for the diversified development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As classic IPs of the Avengers, Thor and Captain America are put on the agenda. Isn't it a simple matter?"

Avi Arad was very angry: "I am asking why I didn't know?! You should report it to me first, right?! Shouldn't this matter be submitted together after we discuss it?"

Seeing Kevin Feige's indifferent look, Avi Arad felt the anger rising from his chest.

"I am just making suggestions to the leadership within the scope of my duties." The smile on Feige's face is just like that of a certain Mickey Mouse. "Aren't they discussing my proposal now?"

"Feige! Are you kidding me!?"

It was rare for Avi Arad, the kind-looking old man, to roar in anger.

However, Arad's anger was not groundless. After all, Feige's blatant overstepping of authority had touched his bottom line.

But Kevin Feige heard a hint of panic in the roar of his old boss.

As we all know, when Marvel was acquired by Washimine, its management was not replaced for the sake of company stability.

But Washimine rejected Marvel's application to establish the Marvel Story Creative Committee.

This organization was proposed by the Marvel elders headed by Avi Arad.

At that time, Washimine's response was that the original comics were too far away from the current era, and new blood was needed to provide good ideas for the movie.

However, the committee list proposed by Avi Arad has too few young people, so he hopes to revise it before applying again.

From that time on, Kevin Feige knew that Washimine did not like Avi Arad and his group of old people.

Since they don't like it, these old guys will have to give way to the young people sooner or later.

Especially when he was working on the "Iron Man" project later, Nanaya had no feelings for Avi Arad, but he often delegated various powers to himself.

This made Kevin Feige even more certain that Washimine wanted to replace Avi Arad with him.

At the same time, Kevin Feige also believed in his old boss who had experienced countless office struggles, and he also smelled something wrong.

He submitted the project application to Washimine without authorization.

Did he overstep his authority in this matter?

Maybe, but it is definitely not serious enough to require such a big deal or even a loud roar.

This is clearly a manifestation of Avi Arad's own guilty conscience.

Since the other party is guilty, of course we must take advantage of the victory and pursue him.

"I have no intention of fooling you, Avi. The idea I submitted to Miss Shion was originally a very imperfect draft. I just wanted to hear what Chairman Shion and Director Nanaya thought of the two film drafts I proposed."

Kevin Feige said calmly, "I originally planned to submit it to you after the revisions were completed, and then we would submit it to the board of directors for approval. I never expected that Miss Shion would bring it directly to the meeting for discussion. This was completely beyond my expectations."

Even though Feige doesn't have much hair left, he speaks a lot and it sounds like it really is true.

However, if we look into it carefully, what does it mean to submit all modifications together?

Kevin had no intention of letting Avi Arad get involved in the whole process, but instead treated him like a rubber stamp.

Nanaya narrowed his eyes. Instead of focusing on the power struggle within Marvel, he began to think about the feasibility of the two projects submitted by Feige, "Thor" and "Captain America".

Judging from the draft submitted by Kevin Feige, although it is different from the two films that Nanaya remembered, the backbone of the film has not changed.

Except for "Iron Man" and "The Avengers", the reviews of other movies in the first phase of MCU are generally not high, and can basically only be considered passing.

There are many factors involved, the most critical of which is that Marvel's first-phase safety strategy made them dare not make major changes to the film.

Basically, the stories in the first phase are very close to the original comics, and even have a distinct retro style.

Especially for the movie "Thor", if you use the formula of the three-act play of commercial movies "the protagonist learns [the truth] from [a lie]" to apply to the origin movies of the three Marvel giants, you will find that "Thor" is the most strictly produced according to this formula.

Tony Stark's mission change was completed in the cave scene 30 minutes before the movie opened; and Steve Rogers learned the facts from the beginning, and he never had any doubts or confusion about his beliefs in "Captain America".

But the final result of "Thor" is not pleasing to the eye, but rather extremely mediocre.

The only merit of this movie is probably that it introduced the audience to Loki, the most popular villain in the MCU.

My brother abused me thousands of times, but I treated him like my first love. This is the most touching brotherhood in history.

In fact, before "Thor 3: Ragnarok", few people would say that their favorite Avenger would be Hammer.

Although many people criticize that the plot of "Ragnarok" is too comedic, lacking the heaviness of mythology and epic feeling.

In response to this, Nanaya said that first of all, this is a comic-adapted movie, not a myth-adapted movie.

Secondly, Marvel leaned towards the epic direction in "Thor 1" and "Thor 2", but everyone knows the final result.

So, let’s face reality.

Marvel is not suitable for making heavy epic movies, just like Satoru is not good at making R18 games.

There are some things that you are not good at and you cannot force it.

In Nanaya’s impression, the only superhero movie with epic temperament is "Aquaman", but Director Wen is too young now.

Although he already has experience in producing "Saw", it is still unknown whether he can handle a movie with an investment cost of hundreds of millions.

Therefore, after excluding the routine of epic mode.

Nanaya feels that if "Thor" wants to impress people, it must take an unconventional approach.

On the contrary, the "Captain America" project is more feasible.

Chapter 440: The First Meeting of the New Year

As everyone took their seats, Washimine Entertainment’s first meeting after the New Year began.

The participants in this meeting included not only Shion and her Washimine Entertainment management, but also the core members of [Erque Studio] represented by Nanaya, Ori and Shonan. Even Avi Arad and Kevin Feige, the top two executives of Marvel Studios in North America, participated in the meeting via a webcast.

All the people working here are core figures in various departments or project management of Washimine Entertainment, and are also representatives of various factions within Washimine Entertainment.

You can tell a thing or two from the seating arrangement.

The person sitting in the front row is Shion, and the person sitting on her right is Nanaya, and on the other side is Iioka, the basically invisible assistant, but both of them are the people Shion trusts the most.

Then, people from Erque Studio took their seats on Nanaya's side. They are not only the largest film producer of Washimine Entertainment, but also the provider of Washimine Entertainment's IP.

Following Iioka were the distribution and surrounding related departments of Washimine Entertainment. What they do is to monetize the IP in Washimine Entertainment and make money.

There were only two exceptions. Avi Arad and Kevin Feige joined the meeting via video, so they were both hung on the wall (screen).

[Is this considered framed and hung on the wall? ]

Nanaya thought unscrupulously that this was a way to kill time before the meeting started.

"I always feel like you're thinking bad things, Nanaya."

Kevin Feige noticed the strange look that Nanaya gave him at a glance.

"That's your illusion. I have dark circles under my eyes recently. You must have seen it wrong."

Nanaya answered calmly without blushing or getting nervous.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We have a lot to cover today, so you should take a look at the plan first. Arad, Fitch, I have already sent your materials to your email addresses."

Shion signaled to Iioka to distribute the materials in his hand to everyone present.

"I believe you already know the theme of the meeting. In addition to discussing Washimine Entertainment's work plan for 2007, it is also a summary of the past year's situation."

While Iioka was handing out meeting materials, Shion explained the main content of the meeting to everyone present.

However, while speaking, Shion's eyes scanned the people sitting at the long table in the conference room.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Lily and Gen Urobuchi, who were sitting at the end of the long table.

Logically speaking, these two people were not qualified to attend this private meeting.

After all, one of them is not even an employee of Washimine Entertainment, and the other can only be regarded as a small idol under Washimine Entertainment.

The reason why Lily and Kyon were able to appear here was entirely because of the recommendation made by Nanaya himself.

Although both of them joined in as observers, being able to participate in such a high-level meeting was in itself a recognition of their status.

The reason given by Nanaya was very simple. Kyon was the screenwriter of [Nique Studio]'s two biggest projects this year, FZ and HF. As a core figure of the project, it was natural for him to attend the meeting.

Shion also knew that Nanaya had been training Gen Urobuchi to become the core screenwriter of [Nique Studio].

You should know that before this, all the works of [Erque Studio] were written and directed by Nanaya himself. FZ is the first movie of Nanaya in which he was not listed as the first screenwriter.

Shion certainly believed in Nanaya's vision, but she was more curious about the fact that Nanaya had not yet brought Kyon into the [Nique Studio].

If you really want to count, Kyon can only be considered as someone Nanaya borrowed from Nitro+.

Of course, compared to Gen Urobuchi, Shion was more surprised by Lily's joining.

Although Shion has always known that Nanaya values her very much, he is also optimistic about Lily's economic value as a star.

The results brought by the two Fate series also proved this point, but letting Lily directly participate in such a meeting was something Shion did not expect.

You should know that even the current mainstay of Marvel (and the only one at present) Robert Downey Jr. was unable to attend this meeting.

[Nanaya, are you exaggerating this girl too much? Don't make it hard to control her in the future. ]

Shion had some complaints about Nanaya's behavior, but she didn't say them out loud.

As for Nanaya herself, she didn't have such awareness. Both Kyon and Lily would be very busy in 2007.

Attending this meeting can let them know in advance how busy they will be in the coming year.

And now, Nanaya's attention is on the documents distributed by Shion.

He flipped through the several-page document as quickly as possible. The meeting topics involved were not much different from what Nanaya had expected.

What surprised Nanaya a little was the two new Marvel movie projects marked at the end, namely "Thor" and "Captain America".

Brother-con and Political Commissar Law?

Nanaya pursed his lips and began to think.

It stands to reason that with the success of "Iron Man", it is understandable that Marvel has begun to expand its film universe and start a new personal film series.

But Nanaya noticed that the person who submitted this plan was not Avi Arad, the apparent head of Marvel, but Kevin Feige.

This is very interesting.

[Is it Kevin's own decision, or is it Shion's idea? ]

Nanaya looked up at the TV screen and found that Avi Arad was looking at Kevin with a very surprised look.

It seems that no matter which speculation is true, Avi Arad was definitely not aware of it beforehand.

Nanaya suddenly became interested in this meeting. He sat up straight and pretended to listen attentively.

However, at the beginning of the meeting, Shion did not directly talk about the Marvel project, after all, that was a later topic.

She first reported Washimine Entertainment's achievements over the past year to everyone present.

"In 2006, we released a total of 6 movies in North America. In addition to the two billion-dollar productions, UBW and Iron Man, we also released 4 low-budget movies, 3 of which were produced by other Hollywood companies and distributed by us. This shows that Washimine Entertainment has been recognized by some film production companies in North America."

"The most worthy of celebration is UBW, which won the annual box office championship in North America and the world with $460 million in North America and $1.1 billion worldwide. The profit of Fate's peripheral products reached $300 million last year. It can be said that Fate has become the most successful commercial IP of our company."

Although everyone already knew the data reported by Shion, everyone in the conference room still smiled happily after hearing this.

After all, who doesn't like a lot of money?

If the occasion wasn't so formal, Nanaya would probably just high-five and cheer with Ori and Shonan.

Shion also did not forget Marvel Studios in North America. She smiled and announced to the TV screen:

"Of course, Marvel has also worked very hard. Iron Man has been released in North America for two weeks and has earned $260 million. Not only did it win the North American Christmas box office championship, it also beat Night at the Museum and has a chance to challenge the third place in the 2006 box office chart. You guys are the main contributors to our Washimine's victory over Fox last year."

Both Avi Arad and Kevin Feige had smiles on their faces. You know, they were under too much pressure before the release of "Iron Man", and now they can finally laugh.

In fact, "Night at the Museum" did not lose badly. It earned 200 million yuan at the box office in two weeks.

According to current professional box office forecasts, "Iron Man" has a chance to earn $350 million in North America, while "Night at the Museum" is estimated to be between $270 million and $280 million.

If this speculation is correct, then the performance of "Night at the Museum" can be considered a glorious defeat.

At the same time, it is also the first movie that was influenced by the time traveler Nanaya and whose box office revenue increased instead of decreased.

You should know that before, whether it was "Fantastic Four" or "X-Men 3", the box office of the movies shrank a lot compared to the original time and space because of the seven nights.

However, the data of "Night at the Museum" is much higher than that in Nanaya's memory, which shows that the quality of the other party's film is still very high.

Of course, this is also related to the box office battle between the other party and "Iron Man", and the publicity is more powerful than the original time and space.

However, Nanaya felt that the people from Fox might not be very happy with this result, after all, they still lost to Washimine in the end.

But this matter has nothing to do with Nanaya. If Fox could learn from this to live in peace with Washimine, he and Shion would not continue to pursue him.

But if the old fox hasn't learned his lesson, Nanaya won't be polite.

"Well, no matter how glorious the past was, it's gone. We have to look forward positively."

When everyone's excitement had passed, Shion clapped her hands to signal everyone to listen to her continue speaking.

Everyone in the conference room looked up, even the two people on the screen stopped smiling, and everyone was waiting for Shion to explain in detail Washimine Entertainment's plans for 2007.

"Regarding the film distribution work this year, first of all, the company's own films are expected to increase to 5 this year, and the production scale will be 2 large and 3 small. The large productions are FZ Part 1 and The Incredible Hulk, and the other three are small productions, still mainly horror movies and comedy movies."

Nanaya had helped to discuss Shion's distribution layout a long time ago.

At present, Washimine Entertainment is still in a stage of rapid development. While ensuring the investment in 1-2 big-budget movies every year, it also releases some low-budget movies to fill the film library and increase the distribution experience of its employees.

Comedy and horror films are both genres where it is easy for small-scale hits to become big winners.

And even if you are unlucky and lose money, you won’t lose too much because of the low cost of investment.

I have no objection to this part of the content. After all, it is very consistent with the current development situation of Washimine Entertainment, and these film projects were finalized as early as last year, so there is nothing much to say.

People are more concerned about those uncertain projects.

Sure enough, Shion then mentioned: "Then it's about the works submitted by Marvel Pictures that will be released in 2008. First is the sequel "Iron Man 2", and then "Thor" and "Captain America"..."

"Please wait a moment."

As expected, Avi Arad interrupted Shion's speech.

"I don't remember submitting any plans for Thor or Captain America."

【Here it comes.】

The corners of Nanaya's mouth curled up, he straightened his back and waited for the show to begin.

Chapter 439 You Must Have Confidence in Women

According to Nanaya's request, he gave himself and Erque Studio a holiday from December 31st to January 6th, a full week.

This habit comes from the Spring Festival holiday in Nanaya's previous life.

But he had never hated his own thoughts so much as he did now.

He was in a state of exploitation throughout the entire holiday.

It was on the last day, the 6th, that the women let Nanaya go because they saw that he really had nothing to give.

It was only after Ori begged for Nanaya that Shion and the others nodded in agreement.

Otherwise, Nanaya estimated that he would really be ruined by these women.

During this period of time, Shion, Rin, and Sakura almost took turns to exploit him in all aspects.

By yesterday, the 6th, the last day of the holiday, Nanaya was really exhausted.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is -

I really don't have a drop left. [Dead face]

Apart from anything else, when the vacation was really over, he almost cheered out loud.

The reason why it was almost there was because Nanaya didn't even have the energy to cheer.

Women are really terrible, mom~

He's not even forty yet, how come he's so energetic?

Anyway, on the morning of January 7th, Nanaya and Shion appeared together at the Washimine Tokyo headquarters building.

But compared to the energetic Shion, Nanaya looked like a fool.

The dark circles under his eyes, the visibly exhausted body, and the legs that kept shaking.

Anyone who saw Nanaya like this would probably think he was terminally ill.

"Nanaya, you are so useless. I only played with you for 3 days, why are you making me so exhausted?"

Shion said with a look of disgust, but her eyes were shining with a look of success.

"You only have three days, but you guys have been squeezing me for a whole week! Now I feel like my legs are completely powerless, like I'm stepping on cotton."

Nanaya complained while rubbing his waist which was feeling waves of pain.

He was not lying. Now Nanaya really felt like he was floating while walking, and his whole body seemed to be hollowed out.

Two days before the holiday, he could at least get out of bed to eat, but later on he just stayed in bed.

Even though yesterday, several girls let him go because he had become a disabled person.

But Nanaya spent the whole day yesterday lying down. Most of the time, he even completely lost sensation in his lower body and couldn't even muster the strength to turn over.

[Next time, we must not let these women attack together. Only one at a time at most.]

Nanaya looked at Shion with awe and swore secretly in his heart.

In a one-on-one situation, Kiryu Nanaya has never been afraid of anyone, but he really can't handle it if several women take turns to attack him.

The women had a halftime break, but he didn't.

After all, no matter how ferocious he is, he is still a mortal. He has neither practiced the art of controlling women as described in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, nor is he a cyborg.

So when Nanaya faced three women alone, he had no choice but to surrender.

The worst thing is, because they have been together for so long, they already know Nanaya's weaknesses clearly.

Whether it was Shion, Rin or Sakura, they targeted Nana's weak spot and used police uniforms and shrine maiden uniforms alternately, making it impossible for Nana to resist and she kept reacting instinctively.

"This is the first time I've personally experienced how terrifying women can be."

Nanaya said with lingering fear.

"You deserve it. If I don't teach you a lesson, you probably think your kidneys are invincible." Shion tapped Nanaya's head with her folding fan. "Remember to take good care of yourself these few days. I don't want you to die before me."

"I left earlier than you, but that was because you squeezed me."

Nanaya pouted and replied.

"Now you know it's not easy to open a harem, right? When you open a new pit in the future, think about this holiday and make sure your waist can bear it before you start."

Shion did not hide her desire for revenge at all, but Nanaya could only respond with a wry smile.

After all, no woman would be happy if her man have a harem.

It was considered virtuous of Shion to rush into his room with a kitchen knife when she was not cooking and stab himself, Sakura and Rin to death.

Similarly, Nanaya had the same idea about Rin and Sakura.

Especially after being together with Sakura again, his guilt became even stronger.

[I think you should calm down a bit from now on. 】

"Will you come back to my house tonight?"

Nanaya asked in a low voice, and then he immediately added another sentence.

"We sleep separately at night. I really don't want to come here again now."

"Of course, it's not only your home, it's also my home." Shion said as a matter of course.

"Okay, then I'll ask Sakura and Rin if they're coming back."

Nanaya said as he pulled out his phone, but Shion stopped him.

"No, they won't be back tonight."

Shion gave a typical "Washimine family's vixen" smile.

"It should be said that these two will never have the chance to date you this year." Shion laughed, "This holiday is their last chance to be intimate with you this year. You will not have a chance for the whole year ahead."

"You little girl, you dare to compete with me for my man? Now let me show you the horror of capitalism! I roar~"

Shion walked into the Washimine headquarters building with a smug smile.

Facts have proved that you should never mess with your leaders, otherwise they will always make things difficult for you in unexpected places.

Nanaya felt bad for Sakura and Rin for a second before following Shion into the building.

Recently, Nanaya also felt that it would be better for him to meet less often.

Anyway, communication equipment is so advanced nowadays, so if I really want to see them, I can just make a video call with them.

"At least, we have to wait until my waist gets better." Nanaya muttered in a low voice so that Shion in front of him couldn't hear.

"Nanaya, New Year..."

As soon as Nanaya arrived at the office, he met Old Gen.

Just as the other party was about to say hello, he was frightened by Nanaya's extremely depressed look.

"Hey, Old Gen. Good morning." Nanaya greeted weakly.

"Nanaye-san, why do I feel like you've been filming for three days and three nights straight?"

It took a lot of effort for Old Gen to hold back his laughter: "Could it be that Miss Shion is really that powerful?"

Nanaya's love triangle scandal spread throughout Japan during the New Year, and anyone who knows anything about the entertainment industry would know about it.

However, most Japanese citizens know that the contestants are still Ori and Ryan, and the initial rumored heroine Shion is believed to be a misunderstanding.

But Gen, who has always been close to Nanaya, doesn't think so. He is of course aware of the indescribable relationship between Nanaya and Shion.

"Uh... never mind, that's about it!"

Nanaya originally wanted to deny it, but when he thought about it, Shion really had one-third of the credit for him becoming physically exhausted, so he could only nod helplessly.

Old Gen patted Nanaya's shoulder and consoled her: "Tsk tsk, then I'd better be a quiet Ori party, at least such things won't happen. I'm afraid that Nanaya-san's body won't be able to handle other women, and I don't want to see you die young, Nanaya-san. I still have many stories that I want you to help film. Without you, it will be difficult for me to attract investment."

[That's because no one dares to film the script you wrote. ]

Nanaya chuckled twice.

Basically, Urobuchi's scripts either involve total destruction or pseudo-total destruction (with only one or two left), which is significantly different from the tastes of the general public.

After three words, he turned around and ended the story without leaving anyone behind.

This statement is not made in vain.

So even though people who have read Urobuchi's works think that the writing is good and the story is OK, they just don't dare to invest in it.

After all, Urobuchi's current works have not been tested by the market, and everyone has concerns about such dark stories.

"Okay, if you have a good story, I will try to invest." Nanaya said with his hands spread out, "But first your story has to be up to par, do you understand what I mean?"

"That would be meaningless."

Of course, Genki knew that what Nanaya meant by "passing" was a qualified business plan, so he said that he found it boring.

Compared to the happy ending where the hero saves the world and wins the beauty, Gen Urobuchi obviously prefers a profound worldview and detailed storyline.

This is also the reason why he likes Fate so much. After all, the story of a hero who cannot be redeemed is perfect for him.

"Just write the story first." Nanaya could only comfort him, "After all, you seem to be quite happy doing HF and FZ."

"Because they are also your work, Nanaya-san." Kyon looked at Nanaya with admiration, "Only Nanaya-san can successfully commercialize my work while ensuring that it does not lose its original charm."

Of course, Gen Urobuchi is aware of the problem with his writing. He just can't control his right hand that is bent on writing tragedy.

Therefore, Gen's admiration for Nanaya comes from the heart, because with the other party's modification, he avoided his biggest problem.

"That's because your story was already great, I just made some minor adjustments."

Nanaya said casually that he had already mastered the business of mutual promotion with ease.

"So," Kyon held Nanaya's hands with both of his own, "we are the best partners who understand each other."

"Absolutely not!"

Nanaya loudly rejected what Old Gen said.

"No, it must be."

"No."

"It must be."

Just as Nanaya and Kyon were engaged in a tug-of-war, Ori pushed open the office door and walked in.

"Seniors, the meeting is ready...what are you doing?"

When Ori saw the scene of Nanaya and Kyon holding hands tightly, her eyelids twitched.

"We were just discussing the script."

Nanaya shook off Old Gen's hand with embarrassment and said calmly.

"Old Kyon, please go to the meeting room first. I'll grab something and come over."

"Okay. You guys chat slowly."

Old Gen didn't think there was anything wrong with him, he immediately took the materials and left.

There was a long silence afterwards, and Nanaya and Ori looked at each other without saying anything.

"Ahem, senior."

Ori coughed lightly and then suggested, "I know you suffered a lot during the New Year, but you can't despair of girls."

Nanaya's face immediately turned purple, and he held it in for a long time before he uttered a word.

"I didn't!"

Chapter 438: The Horror of Women

Kiryu Nanaya is very scared now.

Because at this moment he was facing two tigresses whose anger was on the verge of exploding.

"Nanaya, you are really getting bolder and bolder."

Rin tapped her fingers on her arm, looking ahead of her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I'm so sorry."

Nanaya himself knelt in front of her, lowering his head as if to confess.

"Nanaya, can you explain it to me? What's with the marks on the bed sheet? I don't remember coming back recently."

Rin sat on the bed in Nanaya's room, rubbing her feet in black stockings gently on the floor.

Under normal circumstances, Nanaya would definitely get excited when seeing this action, but now he could only feel the chill on his back.

"Just like my sister said, Nanaya, can you explain it a little bit?"

Sakura held her face with one hand, a terrifying smile on her lips.

Today she was wearing a dark purple leather coat and black leather pants, which made her look a little different from her usual Yamato Nadeshiko, but she looked very handsome.

But considering Sakura's expression at that moment, Nanaya felt that the only difference between Sakura and the queens in some brothels was a whip.

Sakura lifted the bed sheet and said, "There's no blood. This isn't the first time, is it?"

"Hoho, it looks like he's a repeat offender."

The murderous intent on Rin's face intensified.

"I was wondering why that wild woman had to shamelessly move in. It turns out you two have been having an affair for a long time."

"Uh, that's not the case. At that time, Shion and I were not yet..."

The changes in Rin and Sakura's expressions made Nanaya realize that he had said the wrong thing.

"It wasn't there then, which means it happened later~" Rin said angrily, "Tell me the whole story clearly. If you hide anything, I'll let you have a taste of castration in the middle of the night!"

She was serious.

Nanaya understood something from the expression on the other person's face, and he quickly told him everything that happened between him and Shion.

During the whole process, Rin had a blank expression on his face and listened silently to Nanaya's story about how he and Shion got together.

After Nanaya finished speaking, Rin slowly spoke: "Your lower body is not controlling your thoughts, is it? What if that woman is just playing with you and abandons you after having fun? What will you do? After all, a rich girl like her has no shortage of suitors. What if she meets someone better and kicks you away?"

"Forehead..."

"Don't say that, I don't think so~"

Rin's black silk-wrapped feet touched Nanaya's knees, and she sneered, "Maybe she was just playing around, why did you take it so seriously? Be careful not to get a card in the end."

Nanaya did not answer. What Rin said was just angry words and no one should take it seriously.

And it was she who did something wrong to her.

So...

Sakura pursed her lips and complained, "Nanaya, you always have this kind of thing happen to you! Last time it was my sister, and this time it's that female boss. Why didn't I realize that you were a chimpanzee in Africa back then?"

Before Nanaya could answer, Rin on the side expressed her dissatisfaction: "Sister, sister. You're not done yet, are you?!"

Sakura ignored Rin. She stood in front of Kiryu Nanaya, lowered her head and said, "Nanaya, if you continue like this, I might as well just come to your house and be your babysitter. I'll watch you all day and see how you can hook up with other girls!"

Nanaya looked up and wanted to retort. Although he felt a little guilty when facing Sakura, the two of them were already a thing of the past after all.

But what caught Nanaya's sight was the girl's red eyes, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice.

At this moment, all the words Nanaya originally wanted to say were blocked.

Looking at Sakura like this, Nanaya felt his whole body filled with guilt. He reached out and held Sakura's hand, wanting to beg for her forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. I just... "

Sakura said softly, "Nanaya, how I miss the past when you were my only senior and I was your only girlfriend."

"Ahem! Do you two think I don't exist?!" Rin quickly stopped the corny conversation from continuing.

[We agreed to advance and retreat together, so what if you just surrender? 】

Rin gave Sakura a warning look, signaling her not to be soft-hearted and ruin her plan.

"whispering sound."

Sakura pouted at Lin in dissatisfaction, then she shook off Nanaya's hand and said with a stern face again: "I wonder why you bought such a big villa in the first place. Are you planning to fill up all the rooms in the house before you are satisfied?"

"What Sakura said is absolutely right!" Rin nodded her head vigorously. She counted on her fingers, "Let me count for you. First it was Sakura and I, then that green-haired monster, then the two from the Wettin family, and those two little sprouts, Illya and Yumi... Why not just let Ryougi Ori get involved, since you two are inseparable all day long anyway."

"Ori is a man..."

“Shut up!”

"Yes."

Nanaya lowered his head again.

Faced with the simultaneous approach of two women, the pressure Nanaya felt at this moment was comparable to Johnson's weight.

But just as the two queens said, what happened between him and Shion was the result of him not taking good care of his friend.

So Nanaya decisively admitted his mistake. He got down from his seat and said to Rin and Sakura, "I'm sorry! Queen Mothers, I was wrong! I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have attacked Shion, and I shouldn't have gone to the supermarket with her and been photographed! In short, it's all my fault!"

In the following time, Nanaya admitted his mistake very decisively. No matter what Rin or Sakura and the others said, he looked like he was at the mercy of others.

Although it is good to make a man bow his head and admit defeat, Nanaya's behavior only makes Rin and Sakura more resentful.

So Rin and Sakura immediately changed their strategy.

"So, Nanaya."

Rin stretched out his hand in front of Nanaya: "Where's the stuff?"

"What?"

Nanaya was completely baffled.

"Sakura and I have been live streaming all the time." Rin raised the corner of his mouth, "You and that woman were so affectionate while shopping together, could you have forgotten me?"

"It's us." Sakura reminded, "Nanaya, you always said that you should treat everyone equally, don't say we didn't give you a chance~"

"hiss..."

Nanaya gasped, and only then did he realize that he had unknowingly found his body sandwiched between Sakura and Rin, completely unable to move.

More importantly, the two women put their hands on his waist, one on the left and one on the right.

Obviously, as long as Kiryu Nanaya dares to shake his head, the inhumane two-finger Zen punishment will be waiting for him.

"Yes, my two queens." Nanaya screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "I bought jewelry and bags for all of you!"

Nanaya originally thought he could pass, but he never expected that what he got was Lin's sneer.

"Hehe. Don't think I don't know. If that woman hadn't reminded you, you would have forgotten it, right?!"

“Ugh…Aa ...

After just a second of hesitation, Nanaya's expression became exactly the same as the cover of this book.

However, no matter how Nanaya screamed, Rin and Sakura continued to do their own thing.

For a full 5 minutes, Nanaya's screams continued to ring out in the room, sounding as painful as a sow undergoing a caesarean section.

When the torture was finally over, Nanaya collapsed on the bed and didn't move.

Rin, on the other hand, played with her fingers, stroking Nanaya's bed gently with her hands, "Okay, let's forget about you going out shopping with that woman."

【It’s finally over.】

However, it was too early for Nanaya to be happy. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Sakura's words brought his heart to his throat again.

"Nanaya, even though the news is over, you and the cuckold girl still have to talk about it."

"What?"

Nanaya's hair stood up all over his body and he quickly protected his waist.

However, what he waited for was not the two-finger Zen attack, but the quilt on the bed.

[Are you trying to suffocate me? ]

Just when Nanaya was hesitating whether to call for help, Rin and Sakura came in.

"It's because your lower body is too energetic, Nanaya, that this happened." Rin grabbed Nanaya's right hand.

"You had a great time yesterday, right?" Sakura climbed onto Nanaya's left arm.

"What do you want to do?"

"We just want to keep you from having the energy to seduce other wild women." Sakura said as she unbuttoned Nanaya's clothes.

"Hey, Nanaya." Rin hooked his arm around Nanaya's neck and whispered in his ear, "It's time to go, do you have enough reserves?"

A war has begun.

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

At the dining table in the Kiryu family's home, the girls were sitting here happily enjoying their last dinner of 2006.

Or should it be a happy occasion?

"Um... Shion, you lied. Where's the dinner you promised me?"

He looked at the food on the table with resentment - a simple grilled chicken breast, potato salad, corn soup and bread.

These foods look like Western diet meals.

This made Shiki, who had originally expected to have a delicious meal, very dissatisfied.

"Isn't this just right?"

Ori rolled his eyes at his sister and said, "We've eaten so many sweets this afternoon, why don't we have a simpler dinner?"

"Hmm..."

Shiki could only blow bubbles into the corn soup, and then she was punched by Ori for wasting food.

"Um, shouldn't we ask Kiryuu to come down for dinner?"

Ryan looked at the absent host at the table and felt a little strange.

"It's okay, sister." Lily said casually, "This is to punish him for being unfaithful to me. I deliberately starved him."

"Is that so?"

After hearing what his sister said, Ryan no longer cared.

Shion glanced at Rin and Sakura who were sitting on her right.

The two women had rosy complexions and looked beautiful and charming, as if they had just been moistened by rain and dew.

"Drained?"

"How could that be~" Sakura sneered, "The water in the tank has run out today, but won't the faucet still flow tomorrow?"

Shion said as a matter of course: "Then tomorrow's faucet belongs to me. You two have used enough today."

"You don't get any of that. It's ours. Wait until the holiday is over before you talk about it."

"Don't be ridiculous. If it wasn't for the accident, I should have been the one using that faucet throughout the holiday."

"Look at what you said, if you hadn't cheated..."

···

Listening to Shion and Sakura discussing the faucet very seriously, Ori silently mourned for his senior brother for a second in his heart.

[One inch of harem is one inch of blood. Senior, just think of it as using your semen to keep you safe. After dinner, I'll bring you a blanket to prevent you from catching a cold.]

At this time, in the master bedroom on the second floor of Kiryu's villa.

A certain director's eyes were rolled back, his body was slumped on the bed in a "spread-over" position, and he was twitching and shaking.

After being squeezed for a whole afternoon, Nanaya felt that his body had become soft as a puddle of mud, and even his consciousness began to become blurred.

[Who am I? Where am I?]

[Can anyone come over and help me? I want a glass of water...]

[Ori, where are you? Come and save the senior...]

[Anyone? Someone needs help here.]

[Can anyone hear me?]

···

Chapter 437 Ryan's Misunderstanding

Logically speaking, it should be a very happy thing for Nanaya to eat Toshi Yoroizuka once in two lifetimes.

After all, he was a poor boy who was scared away by the prices back then, but now he has the opportunity to eat a feast in this restaurant, which is a relief.

If this were an online novel from a few years ago, it would be a case of "Don't bully the young and poor."

However, the fact is that Nanaya was not happy with the meal.

Of course this has nothing to do with the store. Although Toshi Yoroizuka dessert shop charges a lot, both the food and the service are worth the price.

But the process of eating dessert is a pain.

"So, why did it become like this..."

Nanaya let out a helpless sigh.

"It was my first time to eat a Michelin three-star dessert. And to have afternoon tea with the person I love. These two happy things happened together..."

"That's enough, Senior!"

Ori slapped Nanaya on the forehead.

"Hey, Ori, why did you hit me?"

Nanaya covered his head and looked at Ori aggrievedly.

"I'm sorry, I just feel like if I let you finish what you're saying, I won't be able to help but smother you."

Ori said coldly.

Ryan on the other side also poked his chest with his chin in a serious manner. "Indeed, Kiryu, you should be positive and look forward. Sighing like this is not the style of our Wettin family."

[When did I become a member of your Wettin family? ]

When Nanaya looked at Ryan, his eyes popped out.

But the seven nights of surprise had nothing to do with Ryan's chin playing trampoline on her own peak.

Although this scene really made people admire Ryan's somewhat exaggerated size, Nanaya simply did not have enough energy to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

After coming out of the dessert shop, everyone gave the space next to Nanaya to Ori and Ryan.

So on the way home, Nanaya had to be sandwiched between the two generals, one on each side, and the scene was broadcast to all parts of Japan through cameras.

In the words of Shion and the others, this is to act out the whole play.

But Nanaya knew very well that the real purpose of these girls was not to allow anyone to take the initiative.

Anyway, whether it's Ori or Ryan.

Everyone is well aware of the fact that these two are harmless to Nanaya.

So these girls are happy to push these two in front of the public, while the rest of them are secretly fighting for them.

The public just wanted to watch the fun, and Ori and Ryan's identities were enough to satisfy everyone's gossip desire.

In this way, they can hide in the background and find ways to harm Nanaya.

It's easy to deal with Ori's side, but Ryan seemed to really believe the nonsense of Lily and the other girls.

She probably really thought that Lily liked Nanaya, so she started to ask for Nanaya as a relative.

"Keep your head up and chest out." Ryan ordered Nanaya, "Although you and Lily haven't officially confirmed your relationship yet, you still represent Lily's vision. Your words and actions must meet Lily's standards."

“I think there might be some misunderstanding here…”

Ryan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately exuded a dangerous aura: "Why? Are you saying that your attitude towards Lily is just a joke, Kiryu? Or do you think that my Lily is not worthy of a great director like you?"

"Of course not, it's just..."

Nanaya subconsciously shrank his neck. His intuition told him that if he had refused just now, something terrible and life-threatening would definitely happen.

"That's good. I know that Lily is forcing all of you to cooperate with this drama because of the confidentiality agreement."

Ryan said seriously: "I personally think that if you like someone, you should admit it openly. But since it is a professional requirement, there is nothing I can do about it. I will try my best to cooperate with her."

Nanaya thought that he should just give up explaining, as the more he explained the more things would make things worse.

So on the way home, Nanaya didn't say a word the whole time and just acted like a quiet handsome man.

The reporters following behind Nanaya were also very satisfied, although the two women, Ryougi Ori and Ryan Wettin, did not fight in the end.

But the material that these gossip reporters have obtained so far is enough to sell for a week, and the content is never repeated.

What they are most concerned about now is who of these two will accompany Kiryu Nanaya to celebrate the New Year, or will it be both of them?

When the reporters saw Nanaya Kiryu walking into the house with a group of beauties, big and small, all the reporters applauded and cheered excitedly.

The atmosphere was as if NASA had sent a message about one small step for mankind.

So many beauties going into the Kiryu family’s luxurious villa together, what are they doing?

Are we going to play a battle royale game? Who will be the last one left alive?

But with so many women, can Kiryu Nanaya handle them all?

Just when many unscrupulous tabloids were making reckless speculations and trying to spread all kinds of negative news.

Shion stood up.

She turned around and smiled at all the reporters and said, "Thank you all for taking photos today. The next time will be our private party in Trier."

Shion ignored the reporters' expectant eyes and told them something very cruel: "Director Kiryu saw that Trier had worked very hard for a year, so he specially gave the villa to all Trier members to relax during the New Year."

The reporters expressed their dissatisfaction, but all of them were ignored by Nanaya and others.

But Shion did something even more extreme. She advertised directly to the camera.

"After the New Year holiday, Trier will start a new round of member selection. Young girls in front of the TV, if you are interested, you can directly register with Trier's official management~"

Great, my big boss. Is there anyone who does advertising like you?

Nanaya's face was full of black lines, he didn't know how to describe this strange situation.

But Nanaya was very clear about one thing: today's matter was far from over.

Rin has secretly given him warning glances several times.

————————————————————————————————————

The door of the Kiryu family's villa was opened.

"Go in!" Tohsaka Rin ordered Nanaya.

The bright smile outside was now as cold as frost.

Of course, Rin wasn't the only one with such an expression. The sweet smile on Sakura's face also turned into a dark and resentful look.

"We are back."

Sakura said this in a formulaic tone, without any ups and downs, as if it was just a routine matter.

Of course, what Sakura said was not wrong, because she and Rin still had their rooms in Nanaya Villa.

"Welcome back."

Nanaya behaved very well, he even took the initiative to hand slippers to Rin and Sakura.

The bowing and scraping look seemed a bit fawning.

"Hmph~"

But Rin and Sakura did not appreciate his kindness. After confirming that there was no luggage they had left in the villa on the living room floor, they went straight to the room upstairs.

"Don't worry, I didn't touch your things."

Shion shouted at the two people's backs with a smile, looking like she was enjoying the fun.

"Oh, it looks like they are really angry."

Seeing that the two girls ignored her, Shion laughed.

"Is this the time to talk about this?!" Nanaya was completely overwhelmed.

"I think you should show some courage, Senior." Ori pinched his chin and said, "Give those two girls a good beating and let them know who is the head of the Kiryu family."

Nanaya was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "I told you to stop making trouble."

Ori said with disdain: "Senior, you can't even manage your concubine."

"Please stop talking to me!"

"Kiryu."

Ryan spoke. She was the only person present with a gentle expression on her face.

"Tohsaka and Shimoya were just checking on Lily to see if you had done anything to offend her. They are good sisters, so it's understandable that they care so much about Lily."

"..."

Nanaya now really wants to learn Lily's skills in fooling her sister. How did she make Ryan so convinced that he and Lily are a couple and that everyone else is doing it for their own good?

"Hey, sister. Let's go see if there's anything missing from our room. We're going to stay here for the next few days."

Although Lily didn't have a good look towards Nanaya, she still pulled Ryan away.

After all, the interrogation would begin soon, and Ryan, who didn't know the truth, was not suitable to be a bystander.

"Nanaya."

At this time, Rin, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared at the stairs and hooked her finger at Nanaya.

"Come up."

"Go ahead." Shion patted Nanaya's shoulder, "I don't think they will go too far."

"Really?"

Nanaya didn't think so. He had never seen Rin so angry.

Shion analyzed seriously, "Because they interrogated you in the room, not in the kitchen. So at least it shows that they didn't intend to use a knife on you."

"..."

[What you said makes a lot of sense. I am speechless.]

Nanaya followed Rin up to the second floor with a fearless expression.

"Let's go to the kitchen."

Shion called out to Ori and Shiki.

"Ah?"

"What? Aren't there so many people not going to have dinner tonight?"

"I want a big meal!"

Shiki immediately raised her hand.

"Very good. Let me show you my strength, Washimine Shion! I will make you a delicious meal today."

Shion rolled up her sleeves excitedly, her eyes full of confidence.

"I said, can you make something with fewer calories?"

Ori expressed in a tactful way that she hoped Shion could control her sister's diet.

"My dear Otoutou, look at what you said, today is Chinese New Year~" Shiki said happily, "Of course we have to eat something rich!"

However, Kanei-shiki didn't know that although Shion appeared very confident, her cooking skills were far from comparable to her achievements in business.

The only things Shion can make are simple sandwiches and vegetable salads for weight loss.

Chapter 436 You guys are so dramatic

"It's really Ryougi Ori!"

"Hello Sister Ori, I'm your fan, could you please give me an autograph?"

"Sister Ori, let's take a photo together!"

"Come on, Sister Ori, we will always support you, don't lose to the British."

Ever since Nanaya and his crew joined the team, this has been happening constantly.

After all, wearing a black kimono on the street in broad daylight would make this feature too conspicuous.

He is so conspicuous that anyone who knows a little about weaving can find him in the crowd at a glance.

Of course, there are also people who recognize them. After all, the two siblings in the Ryougi family look the same. If you recognize one, you will definitely know the second one.

However, compared to Ori, Shiki's popularity is average.

Although some people came to greet her, they basically treated her as Ori's vassal.

After all, on the surface, the person who has been active on the Japanese screen is the beautiful girl [Ryougi Ori], while her younger brother [Ryougi Shiki] is the director behind the scenes.

"This one in my family is really popular."

Looking at Ori who kept signing autographs for people, Shi said with some jealousy.

Because there were outsiders around, she could only use relatively vague terms to pass it off.

Nanaya touched his nose and remained silent.

Several people waited in line for more than an hour, which was a long time.

But Shion didn't show any impatience at all.

On the contrary, her interest was very high and she kept talking in a low voice with Nanaya and Ori.

Perhaps because of her previous intimate behavior with Ori, Nanaya found that there were fewer discussions about him and Shion on the Internet.

There are more pairings of him and Ori, and Shion and Shiki.

Although such statements made Nanaya feel a little awkward, if things continued to develop smoothly, then this scandal could probably be easily brushed aside.

But even Nanaya, who always had naive ideas, knew that this was impossible.

The reason is very simple. Lily and others are on their way.

Nanaya could even guess that those girls would bring as many people as possible in order to muddy the waters as much as possible.

So when it was Nanaya's turn to order, he deliberately ordered a lot of desserts as compensation for those girls.

As for whether it is effective or not, we will only know after people come.

Sure enough, just when Nanaya had finished his dessert platter, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd outside the store, and the sound of shutter buttons could be heard even inside the store.

No need to ask, it must be those girls who have arrived.

The first person to come in was a purple-haired female passerby. Perhaps because she had a weak presence by nature, she encountered almost no obstacles when she came in.

But this doesn't mean that Sakura was very happy. She pouted and sat down opposite Nanaya, then crossed her arms and looked at Nanaya from top to bottom.

"Um...dessert?"

Nanaya carefully pushed a cake in front of Sakura.

There were too many people around, and he couldn't necessarily just hug and kiss Sakura to calm her down.

No, even if there is no one around, Nanaya can't do this.

Because Shion was still watching from the side.

"Tsk, you are so blessed."

Sakura said angrily as she scooped the cake into her mouth with a small spoon.

"Look at what you said, what blessing can I have." Nanaya showed a flattering smile on his face, "So why did you all come here together? You should know that it is not convenient for you guys to show up, right?"

"Yeah, so we elected a representative."

The person who said this was Rin who had just walked in. From the bulging blue veins on her forehead, it can be seen that she is in a very bad mood.

"represent?"

"Yes, representative."

Rin looked outside the store and said with a gritted teeth tone.

Soon, Nanaya knew what they meant by representation.

Lily and Ryan walked into the store hand in hand.

However, compared to Ryan who was a little overwhelmed, Lily seemed very excited.

She smiled brightly and waved to all the onlookers: "Thank you, everyone! Thank you for supporting my sister!"

Of course, Lily's shameless behavior was booed by everyone.

As Japanese people, although they are gossipy and like to eat melons, if you ask them who they support in this relationship, it must be Ryougi Ori.

Fortunately, this happened in a public place and people did not do anything further rude besides booing.

But even so, if it were Nanaya, he would definitely not be able to be as calm and composed as Lily.

Perhaps it's because Lily has been on the film set for many years, so she has lit up the talent point called "Thick-skinned"?

But why can't I do it after doing it for so many years?

Nanaya tilted his head and entered a state of thought.

"We Trier sisters are like brothers and sisters, so we all support Miss Ryan Wetting in this battle for the spouse of a shameless director."

Rin had a fake smile on his face: "Congratulations, you are able to get a big-breasted, thin-waisted, blonde noble fiancée."

"That's not the case!"

Ryan's eyebrows were furrowed, and she immediately questioned Lin's statement: "I just came here to help, it's just a temporary joining, please don't tie me and Kiryu together, it will be very troublesome for him."

"Uh? What's going on?"

Nanaya felt that his twitching eyelids were about to fly away from his eye structure. These girls had completely confused him.

Sakura sighed slightly, took out her cell phone, typed a message and handed it to Nanaya.

[This golden lion is a puppet we created. She has promised to pretend to pursue you.]

【Why?】

Nanaya looked at Sakura with a confused look. After several years of being a boyfriend and girlfriend, Nanaya believed that she would be able to understand the meaning of this look.

Sure enough, Sakura typed out another sentence without any expression.

[Because Lily said she likes you, but because of the idol's rule of not dating, she needs a substitute like your sister.]

Then, Sakura quickly added another sentence.

[Of course, this is just Lily covering for us. But judging by the little girl's mindset, she might be planning to turn the fake into real, right?]

[You girls are really dramatic. ]

Nanaya covered his face with his hands. He could no longer bear to watch this situation.

"Oh, are you guys playing a proxy war?"

Of course, Shion also saw the words on Sakura's phone screen. She opened her folding fan and hid her face behind it.

"Very interesting, if that's the case." Shion glanced at Ori beside her, "Ryougi Ori, it's decided to be you."

"Don't think I don't know you're cosplaying "Pet Master"!"

Ori said angrily, "And why me?"

"After all, what they are watching is the war between you, Ryougi Ori, and Ryan Wettin." Shion spread his hands, "Besides, in terms of relationship with Nanaya, is there anyone more suitable besides you?"

"I think there must be."

Ori answered very confidently.

"Oh? So you're planning on sacrificing your sister? Oh, oh, I can't tell."

Shion tapped Ori's shoulder gently with her folding fan: "You, Ryougi Ori, are actually the kind of person who pushes your sister into the fire pit."

"Ha?"

"It's no use for you to say that," Shion pointed at Nanaya with her folding fan, "You know that Nanaya Kiryu is a playboy. I've been trapped by him for my whole life, but your sister is different. This is to save your sister from the dire straits..."

"That's enough." Ori gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Shion, I'll call you Miss Shion for the last time. Please don't exaggerate and make this all nonsense. My sister..."

"I don't mind." Shiki said eagerly, "Anyway, in the eyes of others, the person who is dating Kiryu Nanaya is Ryougi Ori, so I won't suffer any loss."

"..."

Ori clenched his hands tightly, but finally let go reluctantly.

"I understand. I'll do it." Ori nodded resignedly.

"You agreed so easily?"

It was beyond Shion's expectation that Ori agreed so quickly. She thought it would take some more effort to persuade him.

"Anyway, even if I don't agree, you guys will collude and force me to agree, right?"

Ori pursed his lips tightly, and it was obvious that he still had a strong resistance to this matter instinctively.

"Anyway, my job is to cover for you when you're dating your senior, and to occasionally fight with Miss Ryan, right?"

"That's right."

Seeing Shion nod, Ori smiled and replied, "Then it's over. I don't have any loss. This way I can also fool my mother, so it's not too bad."

Listening to the negotiation between Ori and Shion, Nanaya silently finished the dessert in front of him.

Anyway, it’s just communication between big guys, so he just needs to wait for the final result.

Poke.

"Um?"

Nanaya felt someone touching him with fingers, he took a peek and saw it was Rin.

But Rin's little action at this time was not for any romantic purpose, nor was it to play some exciting game of under-the-table killing with Nanaya.

In the meantime, Rin's mouth opened and closed, silently forming a sentence with his mouth shapes.

[What's the date like? Are you going to attack this green-haired woman? ]

"..."

Nanaya really hated himself for having to learn lip reading just to dub for a movie.

If not, he could just pretend he didn't understand what Rin said and get away with it.

Unfortunately, Nanaya can’t.

After all, when they were lying in bed together before, Nanaya told Rin about this matter.

[I want you to be mean at that time! ]

Thinking about it now, Nanaya really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Seeing that Nanaya didn't answer for such a long time, Rin still guessed the situation.

So she hid her hand under the table and touched Nanaya's thigh directly.

But Nanaya didn't feel any excitement at all, not even likely to.

Because Rin picked up a piece of soft meat with her fingers and twisted it hard like turning on a gas stove.

“Puff——”

Nanaya accidentally dropped the dessert spoon onto the plate, but he had no intention of picking it up.

Because at this moment, Nanaya had already used up all his energy in order not to scream out.

Chapter 435 Dessert Shop

When coming out of the LV store, Nanaya was carrying a lot of things, big and small bags.

At this time, Nanaya really missed the humane brother Iioka behind Shion.

He wanted to ask others to help him get something, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Originally, Ori was a very suitable candidate.

However, Nanaya, this capable junior brother, was dragged away by Shion as soon as he walked out of the store.

As for Shiki who was following Nanaya...

Nanaya still couldn't make up his mind to let a girl carry things.

"Hey, Senior~"

"what?"

When Nanaya heard Shiki's sweet voice, his eyebrows jumped.

Shiki rubbed her hands and said, "Look, I just accompanied you to the bag store..."

Nanaya raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what this girl was going to do next.

So he quickly tried to stop the other person from speaking: "Didn't I buy you a gift?"

Nanaya not only bought bags for the other girls, he also bought a bag for each of the two people in the Ryougi family.

But in order to conceal their tracks, when the few people came out, Ori was holding Shiki's women's bag, while Shiki was holding the men's bag that Nanaya bought for Ori.

"Well, didn't we always talk about going to a dessert shop?" Shiki showed a yearning expression on her face, "There is a shop that I really want to try."

"Which one?"

"Toshi Yoroizuka."

The name that came out of Shiki made Nanaya's mouth twitch.

Although he had guessed that Shiki was going to blackmail him, he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless and cut his aorta with a knife.

"You really are..."

Nanaya said somewhat weakly. If he wasn't holding things in both hands, he would have held his forehead with his hand.

"Well, if we're going to do it, we're going to do the best." Shiki seemed very proud. "Besides, so many people are watching now. You're a big director, can't you even afford a little dessert?"

Nanaya glanced at the long dragon following behind him.

Compared to the beginning, the number of people behind him has shrunk from hundreds to dozens.

The reason was that when Ori and Shion came out of the jewelry store, they didn't have rings on their hands.

The presence of a ring means that someone has won, which is big news that can give everyone a boost.

Since there is no ring, it means that this battle will definitely not have a clear outcome today.

As a result, many people have lost interest in watching the live broadcast.

After all, there are still people in TV stations. Isn't it better to go home and lie on the sofa to read gossip news than to stand in the cold wind on the street?

So after wishing those hard-working reporters well and hoping that they would not give up halfway, most of the onlookers chose to leave.

However, there are still many people who choose to stay, and these people are all die-hard fans of Ori.

"Hey, senior." Shiki was so excited that she couldn't stop. She pulled Nanaya's arm and whispered, "You don't want these fans to say that you abused your cute little sister, do you?"

"I don't see any direct connection between eating desserts and abuse." Nanaya rolled his eyes and said, "And the little apprentice sister in their concept is not you, right?"

"Kukuku~"

Shiki proudly raised her little nose, "What do you think will happen if I walk directly into the ladies' room now? This way, they will know that I am Ori, and Ori is me~"

"...You are cruel."

This sounds confusing, but Nanaya certainly knows the threat behind it.

Once everyone has confirmed Ori's identity, the relationship between him and Ori will be confirmed.

After all, Shion has been with the boy from the Ryougi family for so long, no one would think that they are innocent.

The whole team consists of two men and two women. If one pair is confirmed, then isn’t the other pair also confirmed?

More importantly, Nanaya has been arguing with Shiki in public for so long. Once Shiki's identity is confirmed, he will be in the process of confessing himself.

"Do you really want to eat that much?"

"Of course, I've always wanted to eat at Toshi Yoroizuka!"

Shiki heard the tone of surrender in Nanaya's words, and she danced excitedly and said, "Senior, do you know that? That devil Ori actually wanted me to eat bitter soba noodles in Kyoto for the entire New Year! Even my father only eats that once a year! This is simply murder! Cry, cry~~"

"I know, I know." Nanaya admitted, "But that store is crowded. Especially today is the year-end holiday, we may have to queue for a long time, are you sure you want to go?"

"I'm sure I'll do anything as long as I can eat Toshi Yoroizuka!"

Shiki said excitedly, she waved to Shion in front of her and told them that they were going to change direction.

"Hey? That restaurant." Shion also showed an interested look, "I've been in the United States for so long, I miss it a little bit. Then let's go eat together~"

What else could Nanaya say? Her Majesty the Queen had already agreed, so he could only follow suit.

Toshi Yoroizuka is a very famous Japanese dessert shop. If you look at the tourist food recommendations in Tokyo, Japan, this shop in Roppongi is definitely a must-see high-end dessert shop in the dessert area.

This store has maintained a record of having long queues every day since it opened. Basically, countless people who come here to visit form long queues in front of the store every day.

Moreover, this store in Roppongi, Tokyo is not the main store, but the second branch of the chain.

The first time Nanaya knew about this store had nothing to do with Japan, but because Toshi Yoroizuka had a branch in the capital of China.

As Toshi Yoroizuka's first overseas branch, the Teito store did a lot of promotion when it first opened.

Nanaya was filming a movie in the capital with a crew at the time, and he wanted to give it a try.

However, he was discouraged by the long queue of customers.

Reluctant to give up, he tried to call to reserve a seat, but during the call, Nanaya was discouraged for the second time by the exorbitant price.

Because of being persuaded to leave twice in a row, Nanaya still has an impression of this dessert shop.

Of course, Nanaya was discouraged by Toshi Yoroizuka’s price because he was extremely poor in his previous life.

With his current income in this life, he certainly can't afford even a dessert.

Although the charges of this restaurant are indeed completely consistent with the Michelin three-star sign.

It was simply because the impression of what happened in the past was so deep that in Nanaya's subconscious, this dessert shop with a strange name was synonymous with expensive.

The name of the restaurant Toshi Yoroizuka comes from the restaurant's head chef, Toshihiko Kaizuka.

The life of this dessert chef can be completely described by a passionate comic. He started working as a full-time dessert chef at the age of 23. At the age of 30, he went to Europe for training. He spent 7 years in various European countries learning dessert techniques. During this period, he worked as a dessert chef in the three-star Michelin French restaurant Bruneau in Belgium. He was also the first Japanese dessert chef in Europe to work as a Michelin restaurant.

After returning to Japan, the dessert shop Toshi Yoroizuka opened by Toshihiko Kaizuka became extremely popular and was unsurprisingly included in the list of Michelin three-star restaurants.

This dessert master is not only successful in his career, but also has a very rich emotional life. His wife is the famous Japanese actress Naomi Kawashima, who once starred in "Paradise Lost".

If Naomi Kawashima had not passed away due to illness in 2015, Kaizuka Toshihiko could probably be said to have had a complete life.

Um, that's not right.

Nanaya remembered that this dessert chef seemed to have hooked up with Kanako Nishikawa after his wife died.

[This guy is indeed a prototype of the protagonist. If this is a food comic, would it be some kind of cheat for the protagonist teacher? ]

Thinking of this, Nanaya looked at Toshi Yoroizuka's sign and fell into deep thought.

For some reason, he felt jealous of the dessert chef.

Fortunately, after seeing Shion beside him, Nanaya's jealousy disappeared instantly.

After all, when it comes to appearance, my own Shion will always be the best one.

Cough cough.

Back to the topic of dessert.

One of the biggest selling points of Toshi Yoroizuka is that the desserts are made to order, and customers can even watch the production process of the desserts they ordered.

Watching your favorite dessert being made bit by bit is simply an ultimate enjoyment for those who love desserts.

But it is precisely because of this handmade method that this store is very slow in serving customers, which is another factor that leads to long queues.

As for the made-to-order model, is it to ensure the quality of the desserts, or is it a hunger marketing strategy that deliberately slows down the pace?

As for this kind of thing, it can only be said that different people have different opinions.

Anyway, based on Nanaya's business experience over the past few years, he should have both.

But which one has a larger proportion? I guess only the chef with a rich emotional life knows.

Just as Nanaya thought, the line in the restaurant today was much longer than usual.

Looking at the nearly 100-meter-long line, Nanaya even wondered if the people who had left and followed the line earlier had all come to eat dessert, which was why the line in this store was so long.

"I say, why don't you just call Iioka to line up for us?"

"It's New Year's Day, you should at least let them rest for a while." Shion rolled her eyes, "It's a rare opportunity, so I might as well take this opportunity to experience the life of the common people."

"Yeah, yeah." Shiki nodded his head, agreeing with what Shion said: "Let's just line up. Judging from the speed, it won't take too long."

"It won't take too long. It will take at least an hour."

Nanaya said in a mocking tone.

"Cakes are only delicious when they are freshly made! What if the best time has passed and the cream has melted?"

【Did you mistake cream for ice cream? 】

But no matter how much Nanaya complained, he still joined the team with Shion and the Ryougi siblings, and moved slowly along with the team.

[Brother-in-law, you guys line up first, I want to eat Mont Blanc! (?▽?) If you are in line first, please buy it for me. ( =∩ω∩= )]

"Okay." Nanaya snorted resignedly, "It looks like everything that's supposed to come will come."

Volume 1: Chapter 171 The wonderful adventure begins!

　　A moment later.

　　“…”

　　Mei Raiden and Bronya fell into silence as they looked at the white-haired girl who was using the quantum speed reading method to flip through the history textbook.

　　"Kiana, if you turn it like this... can you remember it?"

　　The eldest lady couldn't help but ask.

　　"Of course I remember it!"

　　Kiana Kaslana said this confidently.

　　"Sister, do you remember?"

　　Then she asked in her mind.

　　"Didn't you say that passing the exam depends entirely on your own efforts, Kiana?"

　　The Herrscher of the Void laughed.

　　"Sister, your efforts are also counted as my efforts!"

　　The white-haired ball replied cheekily.

　　“…”

　　The Herrscher girl was speechless for a moment.

　　She had never seen a human being so shameless.

　　"Sister, if I fail, how can I stand in front of Durandal?"

　　Even though her sister cheated on her, at least she was using her body.

　　To round it off, it means she also forcefully kissed Zerg.

　　But if Zerg really gets engaged to Durandal...

　　I really can't do anything.

　　"Sister, you don't want to give up Zerg, do you?" Kiana Kaslana said, "The conflict between you and me is at most an internal one, but that Durandal is a formidable external enemy!"

　　“…”

　　The Herrscher of the Void was convinced.

　　If Kiana Kaslana couldn't even pass the history exam, how could she have the confidence to stand in front of the so-called Durandal a month later?

　　The main thing is that I probably won’t find any chance to top the number anymore.

　　Otherwise, the Queen of the Sky would have just snatched the person away and ran away.

　　Who cares about the Archbishop of Destiny and Durandal?

　　"Kiana, have you ever considered just taking Zerg away? Can't you go to another world?"

　　The Herrscher girl couldn't help but ask.

　　"...No, my stinky dad and my aunt are both here."

　　Kiana Kaslana refused without hesitation.

　　She is not alone.

　　When I get married to Zerg, I need the blessings of my aunt and my dad!

　　How could she just abandon everything and run away?

　　"Sister, help me~"

　　When sisters work together, they can break any obstacle!

　　"Don't use such a disgusting tone, Kiana."

　　The Herrscher of the Void got goosebumps all over her body.

　　"This is just one time, it won't happen again."

　　She agreed reluctantly.

　　"That's great, sister!"

　　Kiana was very happy.

　　"Sister Mei, has Kiana gone crazy?"

　　Bronya looked at the white-haired ball who suddenly started to giggle and shook her head.

　　Alas, Kiana Kaslana could no longer accept the reality and went crazy.

　　"Bronya!"

　　Kiana glared at Bronya.

　　“Clatter, clatter.”

　　The sound of quickly flipping through books was heard.

　　Zerg was also in the room.

　　Mainly because Kiana brought me here.

　　After he saw the white-haired boy flipping through the book, he also started flipping through it out of curiosity.

　　"Zerg, you don't need to work so hard. You're not that old yet."

　　Mei Raiden patted the little child's head lovingly.

　　"Zerg has memorized it all!"

　　Then Zerg answered.

　　"?"

　　The eldest lady was stunned.

　　"Look, if Zerg can do it, why can't I?"

　　The white-haired ball immediately became righteous.

　　"Zerg is Zerg, and Kiana is Kiana. Don't treat Zerg as yourself, Kiana."

　　Bronya glanced at her.

　　“…”

　　The white-haired ball's fist hardened.

　　Damn Bronya, all she can do is make sarcastic remarks, right?

　　"If Kiana is willing to ask Bronya for help, Bronya can help Kiana a little."

　　The petite girl looked like she would condescend to help an idiot.

　　"Bronya!"

　　Kiana pounced on her and wrestled with Bronya.

　　"Zerg, what happened during this period?"

　　Mei Raiden ignored the two children who were fighting with each other.

　　She asked Zerg.

　　Then--

　　The little child answered all the questions perfectly.

　　“…”

　　The eldest lady was silent.

　　She looked at the white-haired ball.

　　Kiana is really the dumbest one now.

　　I'm afraid that if Zerg were to take the exam, his score would be higher than Kiana's.

　　But how old is Zerg?

　　"Kiana, you should work harder. Zerg really remembered everything."

　　Mei Raiden couldn't help but speak.

　　We’ll talk about Durandal later.

　　Now let’s help Kiana make sure she passes the exam first.

　　After all, we will all go to the Destiny headquarters together.

　　“…”

　　The white-haired ball was stunned and was turned over by Bronya.

　　"ah?"

　　Did Zerg really remember it all?

　　She was dumbfounded.

　　"Sister, do you remember?"

　　The Herrscher of the Void rolled her eyes.

　　She can't remember it if it's flipping so fast.

　　"Stupid Kiana, you should prepare for the make-up exam."

　　Bronya Zaychik looked down upon the poor student Kiana with contempt.

　　“…”

　　Ahem, there may not be enough time in a day.

　　After all, there is more than one history textbook.

　　The scope of the exam is quite large.

　　"Bronya, you should have a solution, right?"

　　Kiana Kaslana asked awkwardly.

　　"Why would Bronya help stupid Kiana?"

　　The corners of the girl's mouth curled up slightly.

　　“…”

　　The white-haired ball was speechless.

　　"But since Kiana is so pitiful, Bronya, please be merciful and help Kiana."

　　Otherwise, when she went to the headquarters of Destiny, she would be too embarrassed to bring a fool who failed the exam with her.

　　After all, we are sisters who ran away from Nagazora City together.

　　She quickly pulled out a bunch of tools.

　　After a burst of crackling noises——

　　“Thump, thump, thump!”

　　It was as if some sound effects that often appear in Far Eastern national anime were heard.

　　Bronya raised both helmets.

　　"What is this?"

　　Kiana was confused.

　　"Homuhomu Virtual Reality Connector!"

　　Said the Anti-Entropy Agent.

　　"?"

　　The white-haired ball didn't understand.

　　“Boom!”

　　Then a helmet was put directly on her head.

　　It's just that the force is a bit too strong.

　　"it hurts!"

　　The white-haired ball tried to cover his head.

　　"Link start."

　　Then Mei Raiden and Zerg saw the two girls begin to daydream.

　　"Bronya is very good at doing things."

　　The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh.

　　She pinched the face of Zerg in her arms.

　　Well, when did Zerg run into my arms?

　　Mei Raiden said she didn't know.

　　Kiana and Bronya don't look like they'll notice the outside world.

　　The young lady's heart began to beat slightly.

　　To some extent, does this count as X's current crime?

　　She looked at the little child's face.

　　Especially a soft spot.

　　I don’t think I have tasted it yet.

　　Mei Raiden slowly lowered her head.

　　The shadow covered the little child.

　　“Boom.”

　　There was a knock on the door.

　　The eldest lady immediately raised her head as if she had received an electric shock.

　　Who comes here at this time?

　　She felt a little resentful.

　　"coward."

　　The Herrscher of Thunder laughed at her.

　　At this time, don’t worry about the guests, just lower your head.

　　Mei is still too timid.

　　“…”

　　The eldest lady's face flushed.

　　The courage I had mustered up before eventually disappeared.

　　She opened the door.

　　What came into view was the miko... and the fox-eared girl floating beside her.

　　"Zerg."

　　Yae Sakura looked at the little child.

　　"I asked Theresa. You gave me this black box."

　　She held up the black box in her hand.

　　"Well... this is food storage!"

　　Zerg said so.

　　The black fox is actually a body controlled by Amon, and that body itself belongs to Higyokumaru.

　　"scare!"

　　The Higyokumaru quickly slipped into the miko's hair.

　　Why do you mention reserve food right away?

　　And why would the black box be hers?

　　The fox-eared girl had no impression at all.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura pulled the little fox out of her hair.

　　"Higyokumaru, do you have any impression?"

　　She asked.

　　“I have no impression at all!”

　　Higyokumaru shook her head vigorously.

　　She doesn't remember anything.

　　“…”

　　It seems that Higyokumaru really doesn't remember what happened in the past.

　　After all, she is the devil in the box that Kallen once mentioned.

　　The witch looked at the little fox.

　　But that was the previous Higyokumaru, not the current Higyokumaru.

　　"Zerg said this is yours, so I'll give it back to you."

　　Yae Sakura handed the black box to the little fox.

　　"Why?"

　　Higyokumaru was stunned.

　　Then she was forced to float in the air carrying the heavy box.

　　"Sister, how about you keep it for me?"

　　The little fox couldn't bear it.

　　She had no place to put the black box.

　　"The reserve food can open this black box!"

　　Inside is the power of stored grain.

　　The power in the black box exudes the scent of stored food.

　　“…”

　　Higyokumaru looked at the black box hesitantly.

　　Do you want to open it?

　　If her intuition was unlocked, perhaps her life would change.

　　The little fox thinks that life is pretty good now——

　　No worries, no need to think about anything.

　　The elder sister would also give her delicious food.

　　"Don't worry, Higyokumaru. Make your own decision."

　　Yae Sakura gave the choice to the little fox.

　　Then she looked at Kiana and Bronya——

　　The two girls have not responded yet, and they are still wearing strange helmets on their heads.

　　"Are they...doing something?"

　　The old, outdated stuff doesn't understand what modern high technology is.

　　"……I don't know either."

　　Mei Raiden didn't know what the helmet was used for.

　　"That's a device that can connect to the database!"

　　Zerg knew what device this was with his omnipotent psychic powers.

　　Kiana and Bronya's consciousness are roaming in that database.

　　"Zerg can take everyone in!"

　　He said so.

　　Little children are also very curious.

　　"Sister, how about we go in and take a look too?"

　　Higyokumaru's attention was quickly drawn to it.

　　It must be something fun!

　　Her eyes lit up.

　　After all, everything in the outside world is very rare to the little fox.

　　"Then I'll leave it to you, Zerg."

　　Yae Sakura glanced at the little fox.

　　Looking at that curious look, it was as if I was seeing my own sister.

　　Rin was once just like Higyokumaru, curious about everything.

　　Because she was frail and sickly, she seldom left the shrine and could only learn about the outside world from herself.

　　"good!"

　　Soon, psychic energy covered the area and connected everyone's consciousness together.

　　The unconscious Higyokumaru fell from the air immediately.

　　The black box hit her directly, and then -

　　The box merged into her body under the influence of force.

　　The consciousness of Yae Sakura and Raiden Mei also entered another world.

　　But other than that—

　　The cross carried by Zerg also emitted a faint light.

　　The consciousness sleeping in it was also affected by the psychic power and entered into a wonderful dream adventure.

　　…………

　　At this moment, Kiana and Bronya were standing on a street littered with corpses.

　　"This is 14th century Europe, and the Collapse has killed many people in the form of the Black Death."

　　Bronya walked expressionlessly in the phantom of history.

　　"In six years, more than 25 million lives were lost."

　　The girl said so.

　　"Honkai Impact is so abominable!"

　　Kiana Kaslana clenched her teeth tightly.

　　The tragedy in Nagazora City claimed the lives of millions of people.

　　All of this was done by the collapse.

　　"Okay, then let's move on to the next historical event."

　　Bronya Zaychik continued walking forward.

　　This is the database where Destiny records history, which contains all of Destiny’s records about Honkai.

　　With the help of the network protection of St. Freya's College, she had access to the database.

　　It’s just right for tutoring Kiana.

　　“…”

　　The white-haired ball saw a cross stuck in the ground.

　　She had seen the cross.

　　That's what Theresa used.

　　“Why is Theresa’s cross here?”

　　Kiana Kaslana ran to the cross curiously.

　　She looked at the cross, then touched it curiously.

　　[Name of the person logging in: Kiana Kaslana. ]

　　[Confirmed that the person who landed is from the Kaslana family. 】

　　【Start playing hidden @＃! @￥@】

　　【Start playing! @＃! @＃】

　　【Error@!#!@Error@!#!@#】

　　【alarm@#!@#@!】

　　The program that should have been running normally began to report errors, as if it had been interfered with by an unknown force.

　　"???"

　　The white-haired ball fell into the world inside the cross in confusion.

　　"Kiana, the next required test point is..."

　　Bronya turned around and found that the white-haired ball had disappeared.

　　"Kiana?"

　　The petite girl looked around.

　　There was no sign of the white-haired ball at all.

　　"strangeness?"

　　Bronya Zaychik called out the control panel and tried to teleport Kiana Kaslana, who had gone somewhere unknown, back directly through the backstage.

　　result--

　　“Why are there so many errors?”

　　The girl was a little confused.

　　A series of bright red errors and warnings appeared on the control panel.

　　Her hands moved quickly, trying to find the reason.

　　Then——

　　“Crack.”

　　In front of Bronya, the control panel cracked.

　　"ah?"

　　Even the Anti-Entropy Agent, who was usually calm and composed, was completely confused at this moment.

　　What happened?

　　after--

　　Her feet were empty and she fell into the void of data.

This is the final chapter for this fan fic. If the author write more in the future I will translate. Next month I will begin to translate new fan fic.

Chapter 434: Cure All Diseases

Ryougi Ori crossed his arms and looked at Nanaya, his eyes full of resentment.

Yes, resentment.

Today should have been the day to go home and reunite with my family, but because of my senior brother, I can't go home.

After being told off by Ryougi Kiyomi over the phone, Ryougi Ori actually wanted to ignore Nanaya's troubles and just take the Shinkansen home.

However, her thoughts were shattered by the second call from Ryougi Kiyomi.

"Daughter, I saw on the news that woman was shopping with Nanaya in Tokyo's Minato District. Go over and intercept them! Hurry up! I want to see you on live TV within 30 minutes."

“…”

At that time, Ryougi Ori really wanted to ask herself whether her mother was her biological mother or not.

Even if I'm good enough in my mother's eyes, there's no need to send me away in such a hurry, right?

And why did Nanaya Kiryu hang herself on a tree? With his face, could it be that he couldn't find a good man?

Pooh.

Only ghosts go looking for men.

Ori folded his arms and looked at Nanaya. He really wanted to go up to him and grab his ears and give him a lecture.

The New Year holiday that was clearly arranged was ruined by this beastly senior brother.

Especially when she saw Nanaya and Shion loving each other, Ryougi Ori's mood became even more depressed.

[It’s true that I brought you together, but why did you give me dog food in front of me? ]

[Have you ever thought about the fact that I am still single... No, have you ever thought about how the single people sitting in front of their TVs across the country feel when you are being broadcast live on TV?]

Compared to Ori, Nanaya felt equally bad.

If Ori was just depressed because he was fed dog food, then Nanaya was terrified.

Whatever you fear, it will come true.

If he was just taking Shion shopping, that would be fine. Even if they were confirmed to be living together, what would that matter?!

Not to mention, I am unmarried and Shion is unmarried.

I have never announced in public that I am in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Ori or Ryan.

As for Lin's problem, the worst that could happen is that he would just have to go back and kneel on the washboard.

Anyway, it’s not like Shion has ever lived in her own villa.

As long as all the evidence is destroyed, Rin's suspicions will just be suspicions.

Of course, physical pain is inevitable.

After all, Tohsaka Rin is neither a police officer nor a judge, so if she doubts something, there is no need to provide evidence.

However, when Nanaya saw Ori appear in front of him, he knew that the matter would not end well.

In public, this is basically an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.

[My little junior brother, have you forgotten that you are also one of the female protagonists in the scandal? Why don’t you just go to the villa and wait for me? ]

No matter how much the parties involved wanted to keep the matter peaceful, the onlookers on the sidelines were extremely excited.

As long as the fire doesn't burn oneself, it is human nature to enjoy watching the fun.

Logically speaking, with the jewelry store currently being blocked by onlookers, it is impossible for ordinary people to squeeze in.

So, why can we get in?

It was these people who let them in.

They came here for the big drama of the year, and now the leading female role, Miss Ryougi Ori (in the eyes of the spectators), has arrived, why don’t they let her in quickly?

"Sister Ori, come on!"

"Sister Ori! We support you! Come on!"

"We are all on Sister Ori's side! We will always love Sister Ori!"

"Master Ori, you are my wife!"

"Shiki! Shiki! Shiki!"

Although the people on the street were cheering enthusiastically, the sound sounded like they were saying "Fight! Fight!".

"Sister Ori, to deal with the mistress you need to grab her hair and slap her!"

[Damn, there really are people like this. ]

No one knew who in the crowd shouted this, but Nanaya's mouth twitched when he heard it.

But Nanaya felt that a fight between Ori and Shion would not happen.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of combat power, the gap between Ori and Shion is still very large.

It has been said before that after practicing a few skills, Shion is able to beat everyone around Nana except Luvia and Ryan in terms of fighting power.

"Fufu, you look very distressed, Senior~"

The person who said this was not Ori, but Shi who was watching the fun on the side.

If we were to say who most wants Ori to appear here, it would definitely be her.

After all, for her, as long as she can stay away from the bitter soba noodles in her hometown, everything else is fine.

In fact, she was the one who just said that we should go have dessert together.

This girl’s foodie nature is basically impossible to get rid of.

Besides, there are plenty of opportunities to eat your brother's melon.

Long time ago, under the operation of [Erque Studio], the setting that the children of the Ryougi family are twins has long been known to the public.

I just don’t know whether it is some kind of operational error or a problem of cognition.

Although everyone knows that the people working behind the scenes are boys, the one who plays the role of Ryougi Shiki is a girl.

But every time Ori and Shiki appear in public together, everyone always thinks Ori is a girl and Shiki is a boy.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Shiki has been wearing a figure-obscuring kimono to cover up her weight gain.

But after all, Ori has been playing the role of a girl for so many years, so her mannerisms are much more like a girl than Shiki, who is originally a girl.

If it were any other girl, she would probably go crazy if she found out that she was not as cute as a girl.

But who is Ryougi Shiki? With a younger brother to support her, can't she just slack off to her heart's content?

Anyway, they are all called Ryogi Shiki, so who knows who is who except yourself?

"Yeah, senior."

Shiki gave Nanaya a flattering smile and said, "Why don't we go find a dessert stand and talk while we eat? There are too many people here."

【No matter where you go, there are always crowds. 】

Nanaya curled his lips.

The crowd outside obviously won't disperse just to go to the dessert shop, and there may even be more.

I don’t know why so many Japanese have time to eat melons today. Have they become stupid from working overtime?

But it was not a good idea to just stay in this stalemate. Just when Nanaya was about to suggest leaving the jewelry store first, Shion stepped forward first.

Shion's graceful and elegant behavior caused everyone to whisper.

You know, in everyone's eyes, Shion is a third party, and the mistress just found the main wife (in everyone's eyes, isn't it a bit too arrogant?

"Is this green-haired woman going to take the initiative? If she dares to touch Miss Shiki, I will never let her go!"

"Maybe that's the case. Look at the way her eyes are raised. She's a natural thief."

"Do you think her green hair is a wig?"

"wig?"

"Yes, take off the wig and put it on Miss Shiki's head..."

"What a vicious woman."

However, Shion seemed not to have heard these words. She stood in front of Ori as if nothing had happened.

"Ms. Shion..."

An awkward smile appeared on Ori's face.

In his opinion, they could just exchange a few words and let it go.

But looking at the other party's serious expression, it was obvious that he didn't intend to end it like this.

[Could it be that she really thinks of me as a love rival? Are you kidding me? I am on your side! ]

"Ori."

Shion added Ori's name.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shion's serious look, Ori couldn't help but swallow.

Shion took out one of the pieces of jewelry she had just bought and handed it to Ori as if she was offering a treasure.

"Ori, look, this is the gift I chose for you~"

As she spoke, Shion smiled and put the necklace she had chosen on Ori's neck.

"Very beautiful, Ori."

"Um...thank you."

Ori thanked him with an embarrassed look on his face.

Although the necklace chosen by Shion is a unisex style, Ori, who doesn't usually wear jewelry, still feels a little awkward about having something suddenly around her neck.

However, the person who was most touched by this incident was not Ori.

"Why------??!!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They originally thought that it was the mistress who was acting tough, but it turned out to be a show of deep sisterly love.

This? This is cheating on our feelings!

Could it be that this is actually one man and two women...

No, no, no, how could our innocent and lovely Miss Ori do such a shameless thing? !

"Maybe, this woman might be my girlfriend?"

A passerby asked suspiciously in a self-deceiving tone.

"In other words, they are just simple relatives?"

"Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them in-laws?"

"Isn't she my sister-in-law?"

…

Nanaya didn't hear what others were imagining because his mind was no longer on that.

Shion's action gave him an idea.

If Shion and I went out shopping in such a ostentatious manner, it would definitely cause a sensation in the city.

Didn’t you see that even Ori didn’t go home and came here to witness the scene?

Therefore, sooner or later, Rin will know about this matter.

This is something that cannot be stopped.

But he could remedy that.

Buy the gifts now so that you can use them to please them in the future when there is unrest at home.

As expected, Lady Shion is still very resourceful.

But jewelry alone isn't enough, right?

Nanaya's eyes rolled around and he put a hand on Shion's shoulder.

"Shion, how about we go check out the bag?"

For girls, besides wedding rings, the gift that can please them the most is a handbag.

After all, it's impossible to give a ring as a gift too many times.

Even if you cosplay as Mandarin, you can only wear ten on both hands.

But bags are different. For women, you can never have too many bags.

After all, women's bags, no matter how big the capacity of a single bag is, can only hold a mobile phone and a power bank.

This is a far cry from the man who can fit everything in just two pockets.

Anyway, when you don’t know what gift to give a woman, giving her a handbag is definitely the right choice.

What, you don’t know?

Haven't you heard of that term?

It can cure all diseases.

Volume 1: Chapter 170: The White-haired Ball Who Broke Defense

　　The next morning.

　　"yawn……"

　　The white-haired ball blinked in confusion.

　　She sat up.

　　Rubbed her eyes.

　　Kiana Kaslana gradually came to her senses.

　　Then she remembered what had happened.

　　"And the intruder?"

　　The last scene in her memory was the intruder looking at her.

　　And then nothing happened.

　　The white-haired ball had no idea what happened next.

　　“…”

　　There was some noise nearby.

　　Yae Sakura also woke up and sat up.

　　She noticed something extra in her hand.

　　I looked down and saw a black box.

　　"I think I've seen this black box before?"

　　The miko was confused.

　　She remembered that she fainted because she couldn't bear the tremendous pressure.

　　But she seemed to be safe and sound now, and it was obvious that she had won the battle yesterday.

　　The huge black fox was probably swallowed.

　　Just like Higyo, oh, it’s Higyokumaru.

　　"Sister, you're awake!"

　　The tiny fox girl condensed and then floated beside her.

　　Higyokumaru gave a silly smile.

　　"Wow, it's a flSakura fox girl!"

　　Kiana noticed the little girl next to Yae Sakura.

　　She opened her eyes wide, looking very surprised.

　　Why is there such a little girl with fox ears next to Yae Sakura?

　　But those soft ears look pretty good to rub.

　　As for why I didn't rub Yae Sakura's ears...

　　Kiana was afraid that she would be beaten by the miko.

　　"She is Higyokumaru, Kiana."

　　A complicated look flashed in the miko's eyes.

　　Last night's experience made her realize the true identity of Higyokumaru——

　　It was the big fox from the past.

　　But she soon put the thought aside.

　　"Hey, what do you want to do with that look?"

　　Higyokumaru hid behind the miko's head and used her fox ears to cover her body.

　　She always felt that the white-haired ball's eyes were somewhat dangerous.

　　“…I didn’t intend to do anything.”

　　Kiana Kaslana reluctantly looked away.

　　"Sakura, do you remember what happened yesterday? I just remember that the intruder looked at me, and then I don't know anything."

　　The white-haired ball decided to first find out what happened after she fainted yesterday.

　　“…”

　　The way the miko looked at Kiana made the white-haired ball feel a little scared.

　　"Kiana, after you lost consciousness, the Herrscher of the Void woke up."

　　She said so

　　"ah?"

　　Your own puffer sister is online?

　　Kiana was stunned.

　　"My sister is online?"

　　She asked subconsciously.

　　"?"

　　You call the Herrscher of the Void your sister?

　　Yae Sakura was stunned.

　　"Kiana, that's the Herrscher of the Void."

　　She couldn't help but remind her.

　　The figure floating in the air was unforgettable to her.

　　In front of the Queen of the Sky, Higyokumaru is nothing at all.

　　"Hahaha."

　　Kiana slapped her thigh with laughter.

　　"If my sister is the Herrscher of the Void, then Saint Freya Academy must have been destroyed, right?"

　　She pointed to what was obviously the medical room of St. Freya's Academy.

　　“…”

　　The miko was silent.

　　It seems that if I put it this way...The Herrscher of the Void came out yesterday and did nothing but do that to Zerg.

　　"She forcefully kissed Zerg."

　　Yae Sakura said so.

　　“…”

　　Kiana suddenly became quiet, like a duck with its neck pinched.

　　"???"

　　The white-haired ball opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

　　Her own puffer sister forcefully kissed Zerg?

　　Where did she get the courage to snatch someone from her sister?

　　"younger sister!"

　　Kiana Kaslana called out in her heart.

　　The Herrscher girl was too lazy to pay attention to her.

　　She is not a fool.

　　At this time, Kiana was obviously angry.

　　It’s a pity that the intruder yesterday died.

　　Otherwise, I really want to let that intruder glare at Kiana again, and then I can get out again.

　　Next time, I must resist the temptation of Zerg!

　　The Sky Queen unconsciously rubbed the part that had tasted Zerg.

　　Sweet and soft.

　　This was her impression.

　　"Sister, stop plaSakura dead and explain what happened yesterday!"

　　Kiana Kaslana kept harassing her sister.

　　"…Just like what the girl with fox ears said, Kiana."

　　The Herrscher of the Void couldn't help but frown.

　　"Steamed buns, you don't want to help?"

　　She asked back with a raised eyebrow.

　　“…”

　　Kiana Kaslana took a deep breath.

　　Okay, okay, my sister is getting swollen again, right?

　　The white-haired girl would never have imagined that one day she would be cheated on by her younger sister.

　　"Zerg tastes delicious. I guess you haven't tasted it properly, Kiana."

　　The Sky Queen said provocatively.

　　"younger sister!"

　　Kiana is going to explode.

　　"Kiana, instead of being so incompetent and furious here, why don't you think about how to handle tomorrow's history exam?"

　　The Herrscher girl reminded calmly.

　　"Without my help, you won't pass tomorrow."

　　There was a hint of gloating in her voice.

　　Anyway, it won't be her who has to take the make-up exam and be embarrassed.

　　“…”

　　Kiana's expression froze.

　　There will be a history test tomorrow!

　　Isn’t it that the history teacher who came back from leave is too dedicated?

　　But my sister really deserves a beating!

　　"Sister, just wait. I, Kiana Kaslana, have come this far and passed the exam entirely through my own efforts!"

　　The white-haired ball said through gritted teeth.

　　"hehe."

　　The Herrscher girl expressed disdain.

　　Who wants to cram at the last minute?

　　Who wants her sister to help her cheat?

　　It's Kiana Kaslana!

　　Although her level of knowledge is not much different from Kiana's, it does not prevent the Herrscher of the Sky from looking down on the poor student who will definitely fail.

　　"Sakura, I'll find you later!"

　　Yae Sakura saw Kiana rushing out in a hurry.

　　"...Your juniors are really energetic kids, Kallen."

　　She said with some sigh.

　　"Sister, who is that guy?"

　　Higyokumaru said that he didn't know the white-haired man.

　　The white-haired girl she knew was called Theresa.

　　And there's that pile of white hair that appeared yesterday.

　　"Kiana Kaslana, Higyokumaru, she is a good and kind child."

　　Yae Sakura shook her head.

　　The ones who attacked Zerg were the Herrscher of the Sky and the Herrscher of Lightning, not Kiana and Mei Raiden.

　　The miko can tell the difference.

　　She looked down at the black box in her arms.

　　The style of this black box... looks like it was brought here by Kallen five hundred years ago.

　　Why did it reappear?

　　…………

　　"Mei!"

　　The dormitory room was pushed open directly.

　　The white-haired ball ran in quickly, trying to find the thigh.

　　Then she noticed—

　　Mei Raiden and Bronya looked a little worried.

　　Oh, Bronya's expression couldn't tell.

　　But she intuitively felt that the other person seemed a little worried as well.

　　"Kiana, are you awake?"

　　Mei Raiden was a little surprised.

　　"What's wrong with you? Are you worried about tomorrow's history test?"

　　Kiana Kaslana was confused.

　　"Only an idiot like Kiana would worry about tomorrow's history test."

　　Bronya Zaychik glanced at the white-furred ball.

　　"Bronya!"

　　The white-haired ball glared at her.

　　"Kiana, Zerg is getting engaged."

　　Mei Raiden decided to tell Kiana about this matter.

　　"Oh, so Zerg is getting engaged..."

　　The white-haired girl suddenly understood, and then she realized what this meant.

　　“Crack.”

　　Kiana Kaslana turned gray.

　　Wait, how come Zerg is getting engaged after I only slept for one day?

　　Is this progressing too fast?

　　Did she really just sleep for one day, rather than for several years?

　　"Mei, can you explain what you said?"

　　The white-haired ball took a deep breath.

　　Maybe the person he's getting engaged to is me?

　　Seeing how much effort she put into what happened yesterday, maybe her aunt would be kind enough to help her get married, hahahaha...

　　"Archbishop of Destiny invites Zerg to the Destiny headquarters in a month, hoping to grant Zerg a marriage with Destiny's strongest S-class Valkyrie, Durandal."

　　Raiden Mei said so.

　　“…”

　　Kiana Kaslana showed a somewhat confused look.

　　Who is Durandal?

　　Is she the most powerful S-class Valkyrie with destiny?

　　"Sister Mei, I don't think Kiana has ever understood me well."

　　Bronya knew it when she saw the look in the white-haired ball's eyes.

　　Obviously, the stupid Kiana has never really understood some of the characters in Sentence.

　　"Kiana, this is Durandal, the most powerful S-class Valkyrie of destiny, a being that combines beauty, strength, and character."

　　The girl projected the image of a heroic Valkyrie.

　　“…”

　　Kiana Kaslana was speechless as she looked at the tough-looking, beautiful and heroic Valkyrie.

　　She felt somewhat ashamed of herself.

　　"And Archbishop Destiny intends to arrange a marriage between her and Zerg."

　　Bronya said this.

　　"I object!"

　　The white-haired ball immediately jumped up and down.

　　Why would the great Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny do such a boring thing?

　　She couldn't help but feel hostility towards the Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny who was somewhere far away.

　　“…Damn humans.”

　　A voice sounded in my heart.

　　The Herrscher of the Void couldn't help herself any longer.

　　How could humans have the right to grant marriage to her little cutie?

　　Zerg is hers!

　　"It's no use for you to object, Kiana."

　　Bronya poured cold water on her.

　　Kiana Kaslana had no confidence to refute.

　　Durandal is stronger than her, and has become the strongest S-class Valkyrie in Destiny at a young age.

　　She had just enrolled in St. Freya Academy, let alone S-rank, she was not even a B-rank Valkyrie now.

　　The only thing that you can compare yourself to is your own face.

　　The white-haired ball bit her lips unwillingly.

　　"I absolutely disagree!"

　　She was filled with fighting spirit.

　　I'll go find my aunt later!

　　"Where's Zerg?"

　　Kiana plans to go find Zerg first.

　　"Zerg is with squad leader Fu Hua."

　　Raiden Mei replied.

　　What happened yesterday was quite significant.

　　Principal Theresa and Himeko Murata are still finishing up the work, including leveling the buildings and ground that were damaged in the battle, re-arranging the guards, and reporting what happened to the Sentence Headquarters.

　　After all, the Second Herrscher and the Third Herrscher appeared one after another, and the fluctuations of Honkai energy had been detected by the Destiny branches in various places.

　　"Um?"

　　How come Zerg is with that tablet monitor?

　　…………

　　"Zerg."

　　At this moment, the Valkyrie from Shenzhou looked at the little child in front of her.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Zerg tilted his head slightly and swallowed the big bun he had just eaten.

　　This was given to him by Fu Hua.

　　"I asked you to come here today, mainly because I wanted to talk to you about something."

　　When Fu Hua recalled what she saw yesterday, she looked at the little child in front of her with some pity.

　　Zerg's mind was not yet mature, and as a result, he was desecrated by so many female perverts.

　　The Valkyrie never dreamed that one day she would see a Herrscher being so... incomprehensible.

　　Zerg is indeed cute, but is his appeal to the Herrscher that strong?

　　She fell into deep thought.

　　"What does Fu Hua want to discuss with Zerg?"

　　Zerg blinked.

　　Then I ate a big bun by the way.

　　"Zerg, has anyone ever taught you some common sense before?"

　　For example, don't let a bad woman do that to you.

　　"common sense?"

　　The little child looked at Fu Hua with a confused look.

　　“…”

　　The Valkyrie understood immediately.

　　So that's how it is, Zerg has no common sense at all.

　　No wonder.

　　She sighed.

　　Damn those Herrschers.

　　They actually took advantage of Zerg's ignorance to blaspheme him.

　　"For example, don't let others..."

　　Fu Hua was interrupted before she could finish her words.

　　"Zerg!"

　　The voice of the white-haired ball sounded.

　　Kiana Kaslana picked up the little child and rubbed his cheek hard.

　　Hey hey hey, Zerg's energy is replenished!

　　“…”

　　Fu Hua couldn't help but clench her hands.

　　For example, don't let others pick you up and rub your cheek like this.

　　"Kiana, can you put Zerg down? He may be young, but he is still the opposite sex."

　　The Valkyrie said politely.

　　"Is there any problem, squad leader Fu Hua? Are you too conservative?"

　　Kiana looked at her in return with some confusion.

　　She didn't have any bad intentions, she just acted very innocently.

　　“…”

　　Fu Hua took a deep breath.

　　Kiana didn't know why, but she had the ability to easily stir her emotions.

　　Maybe it’s because of her clear beauty that has not been polluted by knowledge.

　　"Captain Fu Hua, what do you want to say to Zerg? Can you tell me at the same time?"

　　The white-haired ball asked.

　　She was the first person to meet Zerg!

　　There's nothing wrong with keeping an eye on little kids, right?

　　"Zerg doesn't have any common sense, so I'm just trying to give him some common sense."

　　Fu Hua stood up slowly.

　　"But Kiana, are you ready for tomorrow's history exam?"

　　"As the class monitor, I don't really want to see someone in my class fail the history exam."

　　"Zerg may be engaged to that perfect Valkyrie in a month. Kiana, if you can't even pass the history exam..."

　　The Valkyrie didn't finish her words.

　　“…”

　　Kiana was silent.

　　"How could I possibly fail the exam?"

　　She jumped up and down.

　　Sooner or later, I will become an S-class Valkyrie!

　　It’s just Durandal, she will definitely surpass the other party!

Chapter 433 Going Shopping in a Grand Group

Nanaya glanced at the reporters behind him. These people were following him and Shion very restrained, less than 5 meters away.

If it weren't for the guns and cannons they were carrying, Nanaya estimated that outsiders would think he was some gang leader who was parading through the streets with his wife and younger brothers.

"So, what are we doing here? Are we being followed by someone?"

Nanaya turned his head and looked at Shion who was following him.

"Then you just stay in the villa like a turtle, they won't disperse."

Shion covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Sure enough... it's wrong to come out, and it's also wrong not to come out."

Nanaya scratched his head hard.

"Hehe, Nanaya, don't worry about these details. In ZUN's words, you are showing 9." Shion said proudly, "Don't worry, I will help you solve it. Now you just need to accompany me to go shopping!"

"Forehead……"

[Can it really be solved? ]

Nanaya's head was full of doubts, but seeing Shion so confident, Nanaya was really embarrassed to say anything.

So far, Shion has never done anything to trick him.

The area where the Seven Nights Villa is located is very close to the city, but this is calculated by car.

If you walk, it is still a long way from the villa to Tokyo Commercial Street.

Nanaya originally thought that as he walked, there would be fewer and fewer reporters behind him.

But in reality, it was completely the opposite of what Nanaya expected.

At the beginning, there were only about ten reporters behind Nanaya and Shion, not many including those carrying cameras.

I don’t know if it’s because the news is spreading, but the number of reporters joining the team is increasing.

Nanaya found that every hundred meters he walked, a new reporter joined the group.

Moreover, these people's equipment became more and more advanced, from cameras at the beginning to even cameras used for recording TV programs in the end.

In the end, Nanaya found that there was a long queue of dozens of people behind him.

[Don’t you guys celebrate the New Year? Why don’t you have a holiday?! ]

Such a unique traveling team naturally attracted countless eyes, after all, it was too conspicuous.

Many passers-by thought something had happened, so they hurried over to take a closer look.

Isn’t this the great director Nanaya Kiryu?

But who is this woman following him? !

Where is our Ryougi Ori? !

Who is this green-haired woman and why is she with this famous director?

Many people directly asked Nanaya questions about Ori, which made Nanaya very embarrassed.

Because he really didn't know where the weaving was now, maybe on the train?

In short, Nanaya could only stammer a few words in reply, and then motioned for Shion to leave quickly.

Shion was very happy to greet a few passers-by, but she refused to answer questions about the relationship between herself and Nanaya, and just kept promoting her new Wii console.

Anyway, Nanaya always felt a sense of disharmony when he saw him smiling in front of the camera and saying how fun "Wii Sports" was.

[Isn't this a report about a gossip between you and me? How did it become a roadside press conference for Washimine Games? ]

Because it was the New Year holiday, the originally busy Japanese people became very free, and coupled with the Japanese people's nature of loving gossip.

After discovering that Nanaya could not give them a satisfactory answer to the question about Ryougi Ori, these spectators simply followed Nanaya and Shion, wanting to find out the relationship between the two.

Ultimately, the number of people following Nanaya not only did not decrease as he had hoped, but instead showed a trend of increasing.

"What sin have I committed? This team is as good as the emperor parading through the streets..." Nanaya complained in a low voice.

The happiness in Shion's smile became even stronger: "Isn't this great? With everyone's blessings, I think we can definitely be happy."

[Which eye of yours saw that they came to bless us? They clearly came to see the Shura Field, right? ]

The only consolation that Nanaya could find now was that Ori should have already boarded the Shinkansen back to Kyoto with Shiki.

As for Rin and Sakura, the two of them would not appear in front of him in public to perform the Shura Field.

In this way, the melon will not get bigger the more you eat it.

This is the only comfort Nanaya can give himself.

Now Nanaya has completely entered ostrich mode. He has completely lost hope that everything Shion said can be easily solved.

So no matter how the reporters behind him asked, Nanaya obviously had no intention of speaking.

Then, the reporters and onlookers following behind Nanaya became even more excited.

After all, I have spent so much time on these two people, I would be letting myself down if I didn't make some big news.

This is because of the presence of the big capitalist Shion. If it was Nanaya and an ordinary female celebrity, these shameless guys would have started making up stories long ago.

Chiyoda Ward, where Nana stayed, is the political center of Japan. It has a large number of government agencies and wealthy residential areas, and even many tourist attractions.

But there is a lack of large commercial areas and no bustling business areas.

Therefore, for the purpose of shopping, Shion naturally asked Nana to go towards the Minato area, where there is not only Odaiba, but also Roppongi Hills, a new commercial district that Tokyo is currently developing vigorously.

Although Chiyoda District is adjacent to Minato District, it still took Nanaya and Shion nearly an hour to walk all the way here.

At this time, a large team of nearly a hundred people had gathered behind him.

People tend to follow the crowd, and on a not-so-busy day like today, when seeing a parade of so many people, many people will subconsciously follow to see what is happening.

After learning that this is actually a piece of super gossip, many people will join in, and it will eventually become a huge and impossible to ignore team.

Such a huge crowd made Nanaya almost doubt whether he was the leader of the resistance march.

[Where are the police? With so many people here, won't you come out to maintain order? ]

Compared to the worried and frightened Nanaya, Shion had already started to take the man shopping enthusiastically.

And her first target was not anywhere else. She took Nanaya directly into a jewelry store.

This time, the spectators were instantly excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They immediately used all the filming equipment in their hands and tried to find ways to spread the information.

"Spot! Billionaire director is dating a mysterious woman!"

"The rich emotional life of the billionaire director, after the British noblewoman, is another strong rival of Ryougi Ori!"

"The collapse of the Nanari stock, the final chapter of the jewelry store! Nanaya Kiryu will propose today!"

Compared to those reporters who know that there are some things they cannot say casually, these spectators seem to have much less moral integrity.

Nanaya casually searched on his phone and saw a lot of information about him and Shion.

But most of the information, except for the fact that he and Shion walked into the jewelry store, was false.

These guys with wild imaginations truly demonstrated what it means to start with a picture and make up all the news.

However, compared to the onlookers who didn't care whether the information was true or not, the reporters were a little anxious.

First of all, because of the special nature of the protagonists of the scandal, they definitely need to have confirmed news.

But the problem is, they can't get into jewelry stores right now.

This makes them feel very helpless.

If it is an ordinary small shop, the shop owner usually hopes to have reporters come to promote it.

But the problem is that this business center, which has business centers all over Tokyo, has no shortage of customers, and they don't care about the little traffic that the gossip ads increase.

On the contrary, the store owner's attention was focused on Shion.

If they could get the chairman of the Washimine family to use their wedding ring, it would be more important to the store than entertaining reporters outside the door, because it would be more helpful for their products to enter the high-end upper-class market.

As a result, these media reporters could only watch their big news browsing the jewelry through the glass window of the jewelry store and sigh in despair.

Just as the reporters were trying hard to negotiate with the jewelry store manager in order to get permission to enter the store for an interview.

Nanaya breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were still quite a few onlookers who followed them into the store under the pretext of looking at jewelry, this number was really much less than the hundreds of people before.

This made him feel more or less at ease.

Shion looked around the store and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this store is really nice. I am very satisfied with the decoration and style. Hey, please take us on a tour!"

"Okay, Ms. Washimine, this way please."

The manager on duty had a bright smile on his face, and he attentively led Shion to the counter.

"How about I choose two pieces of jewelry and you pay?"

"Of course it's no problem, but Shion..."

Nanaya scratched his head and replied awkwardly.

After Nanaya and Shion got together, he never gave her anything, so it was totally fine for Shion to choose two pieces of jewelry.

It’s just that when it comes to jewelry, some things can’t be given away casually.

What if Shion takes this opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate...

"Don't worry, I won't choose the ring." Shion said, patting Nanaya's cheek.

At this time, Shion certainly knew what choosing a ring meant, so she told it in advance to reassure Nanaya.

Shion’s words were still very trustworthy. She said she didn’t buy a ring, and she really didn’t buy a ring.

However, Shion bought one piece of every piece of jewelry except the ring, with no intention of saving money for Nanaya.

Although when Nanaya paid the bill, his eyelids twitched when he saw the string of zeros on the bill.

But since Shion kept his promise, he didn't hesitate too much when paying.

As for the “two items” that Shion mentioned at the beginning, she ended up buying so many.

Nanaya didn't care much about this matter. After all, the "two things" a woman said in such a situation must be an imaginary number, not the actual number "two"!

"Okay, where do we go next?"

After paying the money, Nanaya said it very frankly, with a feeling of giving up everything.

"How about we go have dessert next? I think you guys must be tired after walking so much."

However, the one who answered was not Shion, but another voice that Nanaya was very familiar with.

Nanaya looked towards the store entrance in surprise, only to see Ori looking at him and Shion with resentment on her face.

"Haha. It seems like you and Miss Shion are having a lot of fun shopping! Senior~"

Volume 1: Chapter 169 I oppose this marriage!

　　The little child held the black box that the black fox was compressed into, and then stuffed it into Yae Sakura's arms.

　　This black box exudes the scent of reserve food.

　　The reserve food is in Yae Sakura's body again.

　　So there is absolutely no problem in giving the black box to Yae Sakura!

　　Then--

　　“Ooh!”

　　Rita threw out an energy bar, and then the little child raised his head and swallowed the energy bar.

　　"it's over?"

　　Theresa was a little bit unbelievable.

　　It was extremely difficult to fight in the miko's consciousness space. If it weren't for the help of friends from the other world, I might not have been able to get out alive this time.

　　"Principal, what did you see in Yae Sakura's consciousness?"

　　"Theresa, why did a giant fox suddenly appear?"

　　Fu Hua and Murata Himeko asked at the same time.

　　"I don't know."

　　The little nun was also confused.

　　There are very few records about Yae Sakura in the Destiny Database, and they can basically only be seen in Kallen Kaslana's records.

　　I'm afraid only Kallen herself knows what happened when the Holy Maiden of Destiny fled to the Far East.

　　Therefore, she had no idea what the scene that emerged in that consciousness space represented.

　　Speaking of Yae Sakura——

　　"Sakura!"

　　Theresa looked at Yae Sakura who had not yet woken up.

　　"Sakura is fine!"

　　Zerg looked over.

　　It was just that the mental shock was quite great, so she fainted.

　　After all, having forcibly captured Amon previously had put a great deal of pressure on Yae Sakura's consciousness -

　　If it weren't for the psychic protection of the master's body, the priestess might have turned into a vegetable that would not react no matter how she was treated.

　　"She just fainted."

　　Zerg swallowed the energy bar in his mouth.

　　The battle with Amon consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

　　The God of Darkness was not a difficult opponent for the Overmind, but a series of battles had consumed a lot of his psychic energy, and he urgently needed energy replenishment.

　　"Just need a break!"

　　The little child placed his forehead against that of the miko, soothing her spirit by channeling spiritual energy.

　　Visibly—

　　Yae Sakura's expression became a little more relaxed.

　　“…”

　　Mei Raiden looked at Kiana Kaslana who was being taken care of, and then looked at Bronya Zaychik who was recording something.

　　It feels like I have become an outsider.

　　So what exactly happened in Yae Sakura's consciousness space?

　　What kind of monster is that huge black fox?

　　Mei Raiden only knew that in front of the black fox—

　　She can't do anything.

　　"Coward, you are too weak!"

　　The Herrscher of Thunder complained in this way.

　　Every time she appears, Mei Raiden is basically beaten to her knees.

　　There is a bomb in her heart that prevents her from killing as much as she can.

　　“…”

　　Mei Raiden did not refute.

　　There was nothing I could do in Nagazora City.

　　I still couldn't do anything when I was at St. Freya's Academy.

　　Then didn't she enroll in school in vain?

　　"From today on, I will learn human knowledge with you, coward!"

　　Then the young lady heard these words.

　　"???"

　　Mei Raiden opened her mouth slightly.

　　The Herrscher... is also willing to learn human knowledge?

　　"Why not?"

　　The Thunder Queen was annoyed by the bomb.

　　Without the bomb in the way, she would have atomized the intruder.

　　And then there was no appearance of the Herrscher of the Void.

　　Damn it, the damn Ruler of the Void actually defiled the little fairy!

　　I remembered the scene where the Queen of the Sky tasted the little fairy wantonly...

　　The Herrscher of Thunder's rage continued to rise.

　　"Or are you worried that you'll be replaced by me, a coward who can't do anything?"

　　The words of the Thunder Queen struck Raiden Mei's heart like a heavy hammer.

　　"...No, I will never be replaced by another me."

　　Mei Raiden said slowly.

　　"Hmph, now you are finally presentable, Raiden Mei."

　　"Let's start the competition and see who can finally -"

　　"Enjoy yourselves little fairy."

　　The Herrscher of Thunder's voice slowly faded away.

　　“…”

　　The young lady took a deep breath.

　　I have to work harder from now on!

　　Otherwise she can only watch another her cheating on her.

　　The Herrscher of Thunder enjoys Zerg ≠ she enjoys Zerg.

　　It is the same even if the body is the same.

　　Looking down at the white-haired girl in his arms——

　　Kiana Kaslana was sleeping, unaware of anything.

　　Well, but Mei Raiden thinks she is at least better than Kiana.

　　The white-haired ball knows nothing.

　　"Himeko, please clean up here and take Kiana and Yae Sakura to the medical room for care."

　　Theresa stretched herself lazily.

　　She had been through a lot today, and she needed a good night's sleep to relax.

　　I'll leave the finishing touches to Hi...

　　"Theresa."

　　The bomb girl lifted the little nun by the back of her collar.

　　"This is your St. Freya Academy, right?"

　　Murata Himeko came closer to Theresa and said in a somewhat sinister tone.

　　"...Ah, I was badly hurt in the battle and need to go back and rest!"

　　Theresa tilted her head to indicate that she was seriously injured and could not continue working.

　　It's already early morning, it's time to go to bed, otherwise you won't grow up——

　　Even though the little nun knew she couldn't grow any taller, she still held on to a glimmer of hope.

　　And Rita is here too, she is the almighty Valkyrie!

　　She's the best at dealing with messes.

　　"...Are you injured? That's great. I brought a special healing potion with me."

　　Murata Himeko took out the secret healing potion of St. Freya Academy from her pocket.

　　“…”

　　Theresa smiled sheepishly.

　　She knew how the healing potion was made.

　　St. Freya Academy is responsible for providing raw materials that can replenish energy, the Queen Insect is responsible for production, and St. Freya Academy is responsible for packaging.

　　Then an extremely effective and cheap treatment potion was completed!

　　St. Freya Academy and the Zerg Swarm are divided into 90% and 100%.

　　All the money was taken by St. Freya Academy, and then exchanged for various foods and Honkai energy supplements and given to the insect swarm.

　　Ahem, as the principal of St. Freya Academy, it's okay for me to use a little of my hard-earned money to buy some Homu comics, right?

　　But now she was asked to drink a healing potion that was essentially vomit—

　　Theresa's face turned green.

　　"I have suffered severe mental damage. This potion is useless!"

　　The little nun tried to struggle.

　　"Oh? Then you..."

　　Murata Himeko raised her eyebrows.

　　She had seen Theresa's slacking off so many times that she had become immune to it.

　　"Theresa didn't suffer serious mental damage!"

　　Then the little child exposed the dirty adults' lies.

　　Theresa had barely suffered any damage in the previous battle, and had become even stronger.

　　"?"

　　Theresa looked at Zerg with an incredulous look.

　　Why backstab her?

　　"Theresa, it's wrong to lie in front of children."

　　Murata Himeko smiled.

　　"Come with me..."

　　The Valkyrie's words were interrupted.

　　"Master Himeko, I'm sorry to interrupt you."

　　Rita Rossweisse said politely.

　　But her expression seemed a little subtle for some reason.

　　"The bishop hopes to invite... Zerg to visit the headquarters of Destiny in a month."

　　She said so.

　　“…”

　　Theresa stopped struggling.

　　The little nun looked at Rita.

　　"Grandpa asked Zerg to go to the Destiny Headquarters?"

　　Theresa Apocalypse's expression grew serious.

　　There is no doubt that it was Rita who reported what happened here, otherwise why would grandpa give such an order?

　　What does Grandpa want to do to Zerg?

　　"Yes, Lady Theresa."

　　Rita didn't seem to notice the slightly changed atmosphere.

　　"But please rest assured, the bishop has no ill will towards Zerg. He is just curious about him."

　　She bowed slightly.

　　"…Why did Grandpa invite Zerg over?"

　　Theresa was silent for a few seconds.

　　"My Lord Bishop... I hope Zerg can meet with Lord Durandal, and then..."

　　Rita hesitated to speak.

　　She didn't know what to feel inside.

　　Durandal is very cute, and Zerg is also cute.

　　If the two of them were together, they would be twice as cute, and for her, it should be twice as happy...

　　But I always feel that some of it is unacceptable.

　　It was like something was taken away.

　　"And what?"

　　Theresa stared into the Valkyrie's eyes.

　　"…Then ask Lord Durandal if she would like to have a fiancé."

　　Rita spoke her final words.

　　She also couldn't understand the bishop's intention.

　　Even if Destiny shouldn't conflict with Zerg, it shouldn't...

　　etc.

　　The elegant S-class Valkyrie seemed to understand something.

　　"???????"

　　Theresa had a lot of question marks over her head.

　　She stretched out her trembling hand and pointed at the small, innocent, pure and lovely child——

　　"Rita, grandpa is... serious?"

　　How old is Zerg?

　　And his eldest niece also wants to marry Zerg!

　　But the thing is...Durandal is the most popular Valkyrie in Destiny.

　　A perfect Valkyrie who combines beauty, strength, and character.

　　Much better than my eldest niece.

　　Kiana has nothing but a silly face.

　　And there is a big bomb hidden in her body.

　　Theresa was troubled.

　　What about my eldest niece’s happiness?

　　In a way, this could be considered a marriage, used to express the friendly relationship between Destiny and the Swarm.

　　Although the little nun might not be very smart, she also knew the terrible potential of Zerg's swarm.

　　They are enemies of Honkai, reproduce rapidly, maintain friendly relations with humans, and are quite powerful...

　　With allies like this, why worry about the threat of Honkai?

　　Grandpa saw this and she had no doubt about it.

　　But this method of fighting for it... is too weird!

　　Why through marriage?

　　"This, this, this, this requires asking Zerg's own opinion first!"

　　Theresa decided to fight for her eldest niece's happiness.

　　Although Kiana has nothing but a silly face, she is still her eldest niece, Cecilia's daughter!

　　The issue of the Herrscher of the Void will be resolved sooner or later!

　　"Zerg, do you want to go to the Destiny headquarters to play?"

　　Rita asked with a smile.

　　"Hmm?"

　　The little child chewed up the high-energy bar in his mouth, which was given to him by Bronya.

　　"What's a fiancé?"

　　He tilted his head slightly.

　　Looking at the Valkyrie with pure eyes.

　　“…”

　　Rita tilted her head back slightly.

　　Otherwise, under the action of gravity, some bright red liquid might drip out.

　　This super cute child looked at her with such eyes...it was a bit too much to bear.

　　This is the only thing we can do to maintain our dignity.

　　I really envy Lord Durandal.

　　From what Rita knew about her—

　　Maybe Durandal will really agree.

　　Even though the age gap may be huge, Zerg is adorable.

　　He'll definitely be cute even when he grows up.

　　"Becoming a fiancé means that you will have someone to feed you forever."

　　"Lord Durandal has enough wealth to take care of you, Zerg."

　　Rita explained.

　　"!"

　　Theresa's eyes widened.

　　You are committing a foul!

　　"Keep feeding Zerg!"

　　The little child's eyes lit up.

　　Zerg doesn't care about his fiancé at all, he only cares about having food!

　　"Wait, I don't agree with this marriage!"

　　A stern female voice sounded.

　　Mei Raiden expressed her opposition to this marriage!

　　Why did Archbishop Destiny inexplicably arrange an engagement for Zerg?

　　Even though the person she was engaged to was... the perfect S-class Valkyrie, she couldn't accept it!

　　How could the little fairy give up so easily?

　　"Principal, Bronya feels that there must be something fishy about this matter."

　　Anti-Entropy Agent said this matter should not be decided hastily.

　　Her mission is not yet completed!

　　Being in St. Freya's Academy was difficult enough.

　　As a result, Zerg is going to be taken to the headquarters of Destiny. Isn't that the difficulty of hell?

　　“…”

　　The white-haired ball turned over and continued to sleep.

　　"If you have any opinions, you can go to the Destiny headquarters together then."

　　Rita Rossweisse bowed slightly.

　　She still has a certain degree of authority to make judgments.

　　"I don't agree with Grandpa's decision. I want to go with him when the time comes, Rita."

　　"Zerg is too young now. It's inevitable that he will be deceived by someone."

　　Theresa made the final conclusion.

　　There is no use in opposing it now.

　　There was often no way to stop grandpa from doing what he wanted to do.

　　But she also wanted to go and see what her grandfather was up to.

　　If Zerg were to go alone... Theresa would be afraid that the little child would be sold and she would help people count the money.

　　“…”

　　The average Valkyrie pretends she doesn't exist.

　　She... couldn't imagine that the Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny would give such a strange order.

　　Fu Hua couldn't understand his intention at all.

　　It was almost as if he wanted to transfer Zerg away from St. Freya's Academy.

　　She looked at the sleeping Kiana Kaslana.

　　Otto ordered her to spy on the other party, obviously hoping to use her to accomplish something.

　　He issued the following order...

　　Is he worried that Zerg will affect his plans?

　　“Hoo…Hoo…”

　　At this moment, the white-haired ball was sleeping soundly and knew nothing.

　　Even drooling.

　　I guess she is having a sweet dream.

Chapter 432 Let’s Go Out for a Walk

"Suck it~"

The sound of sucking from the straw rang in Nanaya's ears.

Nanaya's tightly furrowed brows twitched violently, and he turned his head to look at the boss who looked leisurely.

"What do you think we should do about this?"

After seeing that report, Nanaya knew that he was doomed.

Now there is no need to think about it, the area outside my villa must be crowded with reporters.

Shion placed the Vita Lemon Tea in her hand on the table. She nodded her chin and said to herself, "Yeah, what should I do?"

“Yes.”

Shion clapped her hands.

"Mr. Nanaya, let's just get married! We'll try to give birth to little baby before the New Year!"

Nanaya burst out on the spot: "Do you really think that children are the same as procedures, and ten women can squeeze out children in a month?!"

"Nanaya-kun is so greedy." Shion pouted and said, "Having her is not enough, you actually want ten."

"I never said that!"

Shion's narrowed eyes immediately opened: "So Nanaya is planning to give up on Rin?"

"I said, could you please stop causing more trouble?"

"Tsk, what a coward."

Shion turned her head and smacked her tongue hard.

"So, why did this happen..."

Nanaya banged his head against the table.

The revelation of the matter between him and Shion was really a complete accident.

After the award ceremony yesterday, Nanaya thought about not going out during the New Year, so he went to the supermarket with Shion on his way home in the evening.

As a result, the scene of him and Shion shopping was seen by a paparazzi.

So this guy directly turned on the stalking mode and followed Nanaya and Shion into the residential area.

And he was very courageous and stood outside all night.

Yes, this guy didn't go home during the New Year's Day and was standing in the cold wind at the entrance of the community all night.

The security guard at the door proved something to Nanaya.

Since he was standing outside their jurisdiction, the security guards couldn't do anything about this guy.

Although I really wanted to chase this guy away, he was standing on the public surveillance camera in a cunning manner.

If he really did something, this guy would definitely call the police and make a big deal out of it.

It can be seen that the other party is a veteran and is very good at dealing with these security personnel.

Anyway, when Nanaya got up with Shion in his arms, this was the report he got.

What can Nanaya say?

All I can say is that he lived in North America for too long and let his guard down.

In North America, since he is not very famous, he just needs to be careful not to be photographed when he is with Rin.

And even less people know about it in North America.

Although many people know that the head of the Washimine family is now a beautiful young woman, Shion's face is not as recognizable as Satoru in North America.

Therefore, when Nanaya and Shion were in the United States, they basically did not hide anything.

As a result, after returning to Japan, I retained this bad habit.

So now, the consequences are evident.

"So, why am I so naughty? Can't I just ask you to wait in the car?"

Nanaya rested his head on the table and sighed helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. Isn't this just right?"

Shion really doesn't care. If possible, it would be a good opportunity to force Nanaya to marry into her family.

However, looking at the cowardly look of this animal, I guess there is no hope this time.

In this case, Shion acted as if it had nothing to do with her.

In fact, Nanaya didn't particularly care about the scandal itself.

In the past it was Ori, then Ryan, and at the beginning of this year, Illya also joined in the fun.

He has long been free from debt.

What Nanaya was really worried about was the mood of Rin, Sakura and the other girls.

What if Rin gets excited and does something irrational?

That would be troublesome.

If it was last year, Nanaya really wouldn't care.

After all, nothing really happened between him and Shion, and Shion really just moved in.

He was not afraid of them coming to investigate.

But this year is different!

You know, he hasn't cleaned up his bedroom yet. If Lin came over to check on him, he would probably be strangled to death in the living room.

"We have to think of a solution quickly."

Nanaya lowered his head and thought for three seconds.

"It's over. I can't think of anything."

Nanaya felt like he was finished.

"Ah, men are really useless."

Shion shook her head helplessly. She stood up and rubbed Nanaya's head twice with her hands.

"I always feel that if you keep looking ahead and behind like this, that little girl will always take advantage of you."

Shion kept yelling in dissatisfaction. She rested her head on Nanaya's shoulder: "What do you think?"

“Not at all.”

Nanaya has given up on himself, and seems to be waiting for Lin to kill him.

"Okay, leave this matter to me, big sister." Shion patted her chest, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

"Why?"

[There are reporters everywhere outside, are you sure you are not going to protest?]

"Hahaha~ Don't worry, it's okay. I promise I'll take care of it."

Shion opened her folding fan and looked as if she was calculating something.

————————————————————————

Various reporters with cameras and long guns have gathered outside the Chiyoda Villa District.

They all flocked to the scene after seeing the news early in the morning.

As for the person who first broke the news, he caught a cold and was admitted to the hospital after being exposed to cold wind all night.

For this selfless colleague who is at the forefront of news.

All the reporters present said that they would definitely inherit the spirit of this victim who dedicated everything to the pursuit of news and help him get more news.

Just when everyone was thinking this, the protagonist of the melon they had been dreaming of had already appeared.

“It’s out! It’s finally out!”

The paparazzi who had been waiting at the gate of the community finally saw the couple who had stayed in the villa area for a night.

The paparazzi present were all experienced veterans. The moment Shion appeared, they compared the photos with those in the breaking news.

"Look! Washimine Shion changed her clothes!"

Several sharp-eyed paparazzi screamed immediately.

"They are living together! They are living together! Washimine's boss lady has some clean clothes at Director Kiryu's house!"

In this era, it is difficult not to find out any information that is registered.

While waiting, the reporters had already figured out that the ownership of the villa belonged to Nanaya.

Although Shion did pay for the house when Nanaya bought it.

But the name on the property certificate was only Nanaya's.

This is also why reporters are so excited about the relationship.

It's not news that a female boss keeps a gigolo, but this is simply a poor boy's counterattack against a rich girl!

Especially the male protagonist, who was originally surrounded by scandals, which made the reporters even more excited.

Is he the romantic hero sought after by all the beauties, or a scumbag who gets bored easily and easily?

But no matter what, this melon will definitely be enough for everyone to eat this New Year.

"Look, last night Shion Washimine was wearing a coat and jeans, but today she changed into a down jacket and stockings!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Although the photo of Nanaya and Shion together yesterday was not very clear, the styles of their clothes could still be identified.

So, the moment Nanaya and Shion walked out of the community, spotlights immediately flashed at the entrance of the community.

No matter what angle they were standing in, everyone just started taking pictures of the two people.

Fortunately, Nanaya followed Shion's instructions and put on a three-piece suit before going out.

Although it doesn't add many points to her appearance, at least she looks energetic, and with the very beautiful Shion next to her, she doesn't lose points.

All the reporters did not see the two people and then went up to harass them.

It’s not because these paparazzi have changed their nature, but because the heroine of the incident is the head of the Washimine Group.

If she is really pissed off, these reporters should not go home for the New Year today, but just stay in the nearby Tokyo Bay.

Therefore, reporters have long reminded each other not to cross the line.

Facing so many reporters, Shion showed a friendly smile.

It was as if the queen who was so powerful in the business world and defeated her opponents was not her at all.

Now Shion just follows Nanaya like a lady and looks at her man from time to time.

The flashes of light in his eyes made many veteran reporters guess the relationship between them.

Everyone present was a smart person. This kind of loving look could only be seen by a woman in love.

Although there may be an element of performance involved, what does this wealthy woman in front of me need to perform?

She is not an actress who needs a fake relationship to gain popularity.

At Shion's request, the two did not drive, but walked towards the city openly.

This makes it easier for reporters to interview.

So, the reporters didn't hesitate and immediately rushed forward to follow up.

"Mr. Kiryu, may I ask what did Miss Washimine do at your house last night?"

【Like.】

"Director Kiryu, are you planning to make your relationship public by being so high-profile?"

[Didn’t you dig it out yourself? ]

"Mr. Kiryu, are you planning to become a citizen of the Washimine family?"

[Why can't I marry Shion? ]

"Director Kiryu, are you and Ms. Washimine together in America?"

[You guessed it right.]

Nanaya looked at the increasingly excited reporters with a frown on his face. He hadn't said a word, but these people kept imagining the plot.

At the same time, countless questions popped out of the reporters' mouths and flew towards Nanaya alone.

Shion probably knew that these people wouldn't dare to embarrass her, so she simply hid behind the man, watching Nanaya making fun of her with a smirk on her face.

But her actions as a little woman made the reporters even more excited.

"Director Kiryu..." *N

Nanaya sighed and stopped.

Although Nanaya didn't know why Shion asked him to do this, he could only trust her now.

"Sorry, we're just single men and women celebrating the holiday together. That's all."

After saying this, Nanaya and Shion strode away from the reporters and headed towards downtown Tokyo.

The reporters looked at each other at first, and then followed the two people as if they were following a leader.

Volume 1: Chapter 168 End of the Battle

　　The thin figure of Theresa stood not far from the huge black fox.

　　The size difference between the two made the Demon Girl look like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

　　The place where Zerg had called her was strange—

　　It is not a display, but a space of consciousness.

　　The language used by the three girls who were originally here was not any language known to Terra.

　　However, that did not prevent Theresa from understanding their words.

　　And the power used by the enemy we are facing at this moment is also very unfamiliar.

　　There is no fluctuation of Originium skills.

　　Theresa had some guesses in her heart.

　　Since Zerg left with Qui'saršinnag—

　　After a period of time, her connection with the master suddenly became extremely weak.

　　It's like crossing a world.

　　“Stop right there.”

　　The devil's words fell.

　　The bodies of the influx of dark creatures began to slow down, and then their speed gradually slowed down until they stopped.

　　“So strong…”

　　Theresa saw this scene.

　　Just using words, she made those twisted creatures stop immediately.

　　Where did Zerg find his helper?

　　"Leave the black fox to me."

　　Theresa said without turning her head.

　　Only she can face this black fox head-on alone—

　　At least it could delay it until Zerg finished his business.

　　If others want to fight against the black fox, they need to work together.

　　"clear!"

　　The red flames burned and instantly covered a huge area.

　　Talulah swung the sword wrapped in flames.

　　She didn't know where this place was, nor did she know what the enemy was.

　　The dragon girl only knew that she was going to go on a killing spree.

　　Faced with these twisted monsters, she acted without any hesitation.

　　Before being summoned, Talulah was maintaining her weapons in her tent.

　　Alina was mending her clothes.

　　I hope Alina won't be worried about my sudden disappearance.

　　The scarlet red color marked out a small burning area within the darkness.

　　"Isamara, stop imagining this."

　　Skadi gripped the greatsword tightly.

　　After Theresa connected them, she was able to briefly sense other people's thoughts.

　　W is a repeat offender as always.

　　Theresa and Yae Sakura were worried and surprised.

　　Talulah was passionate and full of desire to fight.

　　Theresa was curious, then calmed down.

　　But the most important one is Ishamara——

　　Even at this time, ninety-nine percent of her mind was occupied by a certain thought.

　　The remaining one percent is the battle.

　　Even worse is that

　　Perhaps due to the special relationship between Ishamara and her, Skadi can always sense the thoughts of the Sea God Girl.

　　So much so that her body reacted.

　　Skadi had to resort to fighting to vent her anger.

　　Otherwise, God knows what will happen.

　　The Deep Sea Hunter's body has become extremely powerful after being transformed by the Agor people's technology, but there are also side effects -

　　It is not easy to satisfy a deep-sea hunter.

　　Skadi had to endure Ishamara's pollution while engaging in battle.

　　She hasn't figured out how to relieve her anger after the battle.

　　But the deep-sea hunter said that she would never attack her little compatriots!

　　"The enemy... devours... evolves..."

　　Ishamara floats in the air.

　　She held a golden staff in her hand, and the Sea God girl sang an unknown ballad.

　　At the same time, some creatures emerged around her.

　　“…”

　　Skadi happened to catch a glimpse of Sea God in action.

　　Here she had... summoned Seaborn.

　　Different from the sea creatures seen in the past, the sea creatures summoned by Ishamara have some characteristics of the swarm.

　　If Ishamara were allowed to return to the ocean, all the Seaborn would evolve.

　　The Agors are absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the evolved Seaborn.

　　Skadi doesn't care about the fate of the Argol people -

　　She only worried about her own people: the deep-sea hunters who shared her blood.

　　But now is not the time to focus on this issue.

　　With one sword, she beheaded the twisted monster in front of her.

　　The ballad that Ishamara hummed was one of the Agor songs that Skadi knew.

　　However, Sea God's humming strengthened all friendly forces—

　　The blood in the body flows faster, providing the body with more powerful explosive power.

　　And the enemy... began to show some Seaborn characteristics, as if they were being influenced by the song and began to be assimilated.

　　“…”

　　The pink-haired miko quickly drew her sword.

　　The high-speed Iai slash kills the enemy in front.

　　She glanced at the person who looked like Skadi, but was not Skadi.

　　It was someone I had never seen before at St. Freya Academy.

　　The girl named Ishamara was separated from Skadi's body.

　　Yae Sakura didn't know what was going on.

　　But it’s probably similar to the situation between herself and Higyokumaru?

　　"Sister Sakura, I'm different from that guy!"

　　The fox girl's consciousness retorted.

　　When the minds were linked together, the horrible, foul, and intense thoughts were felt by almost everyone.

　　Higyokumaru was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

　　She seemed to understand a lot at that moment.

　　How can I do that posture...

　　Cough cough cough.

　　"I'm definitely not that, that..."

　　Higyokumaru didn't know how to describe it.

　　“…Yeah, I know.”

　　Hearing the name "Sister Sakura", the miko was in a trance for a moment.

　　Then she quickly regained her composure.

　　We’ll talk about Ishamara after the battle is over.

　　All I can do is block the attack of these monsters.

　　These monsters are very powerful, far more powerful than the monsters defeated in Yae Village.

　　She also couldn't kill quickly.

　　The same is true for others.

　　Apart from--

　　The girl with pink and white hair and long horns.

　　Theresa took a light step forward.

　　Then, flowers made of Originium grew out of thin air from the monsters' bodies.

　　This is one of the results of her research on Originium.

　　The progress wasn't supposed to be this fast.

　　But after becoming a member of the Zerg, Theresa found that her understanding of Originium had improved a lot in an instant.

　　With the help of the devil's crown, and the fact that this is a world of idealistic consciousness—

　　She was able to do this.

　　"…How did she become so strong?"

　　W stayed away from the front line, occasionally throwing out some Originium bombs to support the battlefield.

　　She was very close to Zerg.

　　If Zerg hadn't been doing something important, the Sarkaz mercenaries would have already started to take action.

　　But she didn't think she would succeed.

　　The sight of the devil coming out of her body frightened her a little.

　　Theresa was actually able to do such a thing.

　　Her power was too much for the rules.

　　The only way to avoid the Demon Girl's interference is to stay as far away from Kazdel as possible.

　　After that battle was over—

　　W sent Inès and Hedley to the Regent's territory.

　　It is normal for Sarkaz mercenaries to waver between the two forces and it will not arouse any suspicion.

　　Then according to the news from the female mercenary, Theresis seemed to intend to lead his soldiers to Victoria.

　　And Theresa is sending messengers to invite the Sarkaz royal court to return to the Demon King's side.

　　Among them was a messenger mission to Ursus to invite the only remaining pure-blooded Wendigo.

　　After much deliberation, W decided to follow the Prince Regent to Victoria.

　　Because Talulah is in Ursus, she will definitely get in the way.

　　But Victoria was different. Zerg didn't know anyone there, and there was no chance of a woman popping up who could cause trouble.

　　It can't be possible that the strange [Dimensional Chat Group] just happened to pull in a woman from Victoria, right?

　　Impossible.

　　Wouldn’t it be nice to just take action when the time comes?

　　She just didn't believe that the devil could interfere with her from thousands of miles away.

　　"Zerg..."

　　W noticed that Zerg had opened his eyes.

　　The pressure of power prevented her from finishing her words.

　　"it's over!"

　　The psychic powers of the Swarm Overlord pierced through Amon's dark realm.

　　What we need to do next is very simple.

　　He cast his gaze forward.

　　The demon girl was fighting against the black fox, but it was obvious to the naked eye that she was at a disadvantage.

　　After all, what arrived here was only a trace of the Demon King's will, not all of it.

　　But it also delayed the Dark God's progress.

　　The others were fighting back and forth with Amon's minions.

　　But the front is definitely retreating.

　　For the mixture of Amon is infinite.

　　"Damn woman!"

　　Amon sensed the powerful psychic energy.

　　This space of consciousness has begun to become unstable——

　　The Overmind was trying to grab him directly into the real world.

　　The guy who suddenly jumped out in front of him grabbed him.

　　Compared to him, his strength is not that strong, but he has many means.

　　If I remember correctly, the black crown on the other party's head is a heritage of a civilization.

　　Because that civilization angered the God of Darkness, it was destroyed prematurely, but the survivors still fought back.

　　Banish the remains of the Lord of Death into the Warp along with the dark will trapped within.

　　He executed his compatriots who were affected by the Dark Will, cleared all data and records related to the Dark Will, and used previous research results to develop more things.

　　And now, the last legacy of that civilization has caused it great trouble.

　　"It looks like Zerg succeeded."

　　Theresa breathed a sigh of relief.

　　She is also under a lot of pressure.

　　The power projected was very small, and even with the enhancement of the Overlord, it was unable to confront the black fox head-on.

　　The same is true for everyone else.

　　This is an idealistic world of consciousness, and they... don't quite understand how powerful and potential the power of consciousness is.

　　Only the Demon Girl knows.

　　Because she held the Black Crown, she was able to delay the Black Fox for so long with her relatively weak power.

　　"dominate!"

　　The huge fox roared as it was caught.

　　“Crack.”

　　The space of consciousness began to vibrate.

　　At this moment, Yae Sakura fell to her knees on the ground powerlessly.

　　She felt a headache.

　　"Sister Sakura!"

　　Higyokumaru was even forced to release the fusion state and transform back into human form.

　　"What's wrong with her?"

　　The little nun subconsciously deployed the divine grace barrier, trying to alleviate the miko's abnormal condition.

　　"This is her consciousness space, and at this moment, her consciousness has been greatly impacted."

　　Theresa quickly understood the situation.

　　"Then nothing will happen to her, right?"

　　Theresa was very worried.

　　"No, Zerg is very sensible."

　　The demon girl smiled slightly.

　　At this moment, she is assisting the master.

　　"Looking forward to seeing you next time—"

　　Theresa looked at the white-haired nun.

　　"People from another world."

　　She left these words and disappeared.

　　"Why?"

　　Theresa's eyes widened.

　　People from another world?

　　What's the meaning?

　　Could it be that... the little nun had some incredible guess.

　　The girl named Theresa comes from a world outside of reality.

　　Is it a world bubble in the quantum sea?

　　As a member of the Destiny, she was not completely ignorant of the Quantum Sea.

　　For the life in the world bubble, reality may be equivalent to another world.

　　And are the others also from the same world as Theresa?

　　With such doubts in mind, she opened her eyes.

　　"Principal, you're awake!"

　　The ordinary female classmate breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Fu Hua had previously sensed an ominous force blocking the path to Yae Sakura's consciousness.

　　The ancient Shenzhou skills she mastered could not break through the blockade in a short time.

　　Unless the memory is burned.

　　As a result, Theresa woke up again quickly.

　　But Yae Sakura didn't.

　　"I……"

　　The little nun opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

　　"boom!"

　　A huge black fox appeared out of nowhere and then fell directly to the ground.

　　The little child opened his eyes at the same time.

　　It's time to beat up Amon!

　　How dare you attack the Overmind's friends and steal the Swarm's ideas!

　　A dark cloud flew in from the horizon——

　　That was a group of Mutalisks rushing towards the battlefield at high speed.

　　Feeling the Overlord's wrath, the nearest Zerg nest immediately began to mobilize.

　　A warship was flying in the sky on the other side.

　　"Why did my Hyperion take off?"

　　Theresa asked subconsciously.

　　"That's because Ai-chan is Zerg's now!"

　　The projection of the artificial intelligence girl appeared in front of the little nun.

　　As her former master who had been extremely kind to her, Ai Hyperion decided it would be better to let Theresa know that she had been NTR.

　　"?"

　　The little nun opened her mouth slightly.

　　“Ouch!”

　　The black fox let out a terrifying roar.

　　It is captured directly from the world of consciousness into the world of reality.

　　“So noisy!”

　　Zerg slapped it out of thin air.

　　“Boom!”

　　The fox's body rotated 360 degrees and then embedded itself into the wall of a nearby building.

　　Reality is now the dominant home ground.

　　"Thief!"

　　The spiritual energy filled with anger grabbed the fox's head and shook it left and right.

　　"Trying to hurt Zerg's friends!"

　　It was pressed directly into the ground.

　　This is not Yae Sakura's consciousness. Zerg can use his power without any scruples and without hurting others.

　　The square of St. Freya Academy may have to be rebuilt.

　　In this regard, Saint Freya Academy Principal Theresa commented:

　　“Well done!”

　　The damn fox almost killed Yae Sakura and forced the Holy Maiden of Destiny to sacrifice herself!

　　“…”

　　Amon was speechless.

　　It was all dizzy.

　　If you can't defeat the master in the space of consciousness, then it will be even more impossible in reality.

　　Amon now is just a fragment of consciousness, not the real body of the God of Darkness.

　　Fifty thousand years of hatred and anger have some effect in the real dimension... but not much.

　　Because the concentration of so-called Honkai energy is very low, it cannot be used.

　　But there is another way -

　　You can definitely use that little fox's might...

　　“Crack!”

　　Its head had been twisted right off.

　　The master sensed the malicious intent and killed him without hesitation.

　　The spiritual energy wrapped around the black fox's body and began to compress it.

　　Amon's body is pure energy and can be compressed.

　　As for the will of the Dark God——

　　The master's spiritual power cut it into small pieces, and then forcibly annihilated it with spiritual power.

　　He had not previously noticed that the will of the God of Darkness had escaped, which led to what had happened before.

　　Zerg has learned his lesson now.

　　“Boom.”

　　A small black box fell to the ground.

　　This is the product of the black fox's body being compressed to the extreme.

　　"it's over."

　　Zerg showed a rare look of fatigue.

　　"Zerg, come, eat something to replenish your energy."

　　A high energy bar was handed over.

　　The elegant Valkyrie of Destiny smiled slightly.

　　Well, everything that happened before has been recorded.

　　And it has been sent urgently to the Archbishop of Destiny, asking him to make the decision.

　　Rita didn't want to be an enemy of Zerg from the bottom of her heart.

　　Not just because of Zerg's cute looks, but also because of the power he holds.

　　I hope Lord Otto can make a win-win decision.

　　…………

　　His knuckles rapped on the back of the chair.

　　The blond man browsed the message sent by the Valkyrie.

　　The android named Amber stood aside quietly without saying a word.

　　Otto's gaze lingered on the image of a pink-haired miko for a moment, and then he focused all his attention on the protagonist of the report.

　　"Zerg... a child I have never heard of."

　　There is no relevant record in Destiny's database.

　　Rita's judgment is that they cannot become enemies, otherwise Destiny will suffer huge losses.

　　The child named Zerg possesses powerful strength himself, and is the master of the strange creatures that appear in Nagazora City.

　　These strange creatures are enemies of Honkai,

　　“Tap…tap…”

　　His fingertips tapped on the table.

　　Archbishop of Destiny supported his head with one hand.

　　Zerg has been linked to an important target.

　　This is a bit difficult.

　　and--

　　The Herrscher of the Sky revived earlier than he expected.

　　Things seem to be getting a little out of control.

　　"Amber, help me check when dear Durandal will be back."

　　Archbishop Destiny asked.

　　"Yes, Bishop Otto."

　　The android maid bent slightly and quickly started operating on the portable terminal.

　　"According to the message left by Lord Durandal, she is expected to be back within a month."

　　Amber reported her answer.

　　"Yes, I understand."

　　Otto thought for a moment.

　　"Amber, when the time comes, please ask my dear Durandal—"

　　"Are you interested in finding a fiancé?"

Chapter 431: Bring your family to look for someone

Because she was too frightened, Sakura accidentally knocked her cup onto the table.

The remaining milk in the cup spilled all over the table, and a lot of it even dripped onto the floor.

However, at this time, Sakura no longer had the heart to care about this matter. Her attention was all attracted by the scandal between Nanaya and Shion.

"What the hell? Living together? Secret marriage?"

Sakura read through the report at a very fast speed. When she finished reading this gossip, her pretty face was already shrouded in a dark aura.

"Haha, Nanaya. You are really bold. You dare to do anything." Sakura sneered in a low voice, "This is the New Year's shopping again, and you are staying overnight in the same house. Nanaya, are you planning to act first and ask for permission later?"

Although Shion's name was not mentioned in the news, after all, exposing the scandals of capitalists is not as risk-free as it is for celebrities and entertainers, so the article only used the name J woman.

Moreover, the description of the woman in the article is also very secretive, and more ink is focused on Nanaya.

But who else could be called the green-haired and beautiful chairman except the woman who likes to hide her expression behind her folding fan all day? !

According to this report, it seems that after attending the Japan Record Awards ceremony last night, Nanaya and Shion did some shopping at a supermarket and then drove into the villa area of Chiyoda.

As a paparazzi, the reporter was of course not allowed to enter the villa area, so he could only wait outside the villa area, but he did not see anyone come out for the whole night.

What does this mean? It means that this director with a box office of 100 billion yen is living with his female boss!

If it was just a famous director, it would be fine. Considering the status of the man and the woman, ordinary magazines would not report such news.

But this time it’s different. You have to know that the male protagonist of the incident was just involved in a polyamorous scandal last year.

Because the other party has been staying in North America this year, there has been no follow-up to this matter, but this does not mean that everyone has forgotten about it.

As a result, this man did something like this as soon as he returned to Japan.

What is this?

Are Japanese actresses and British aristocrats just passing clouds?

Your female boss is your only true love?!

Later, reporters and paparazzi discovered that the couple had stayed in North America for a year, and anything could have happened during this year.

So all kinds of speculations were written in the newspapers.

The article first speculated about cohabitation, then suggested that the two might be secretly married, and at the end of the article even mentioned that they got married because of pregnancy.

"Pregnancy? Don't think I don't know that he always uses protective measures!"

After saying that, Sakura gritted her teeth and stood up from the chair.

"No, there's no way this family can go back. We can't let the rumors continue to ferment, otherwise after the New Year, the little baby mentioned by the media will be born by Washimine Shion. What is this? A child out of nothing?!"

Sakura was so angry that she didn't even clean up the table and went straight to knock on the door of Rin's dormitory next door.

"Tohsaka Rin! Sister! Something terrible has happened!"

The door to the room opened, and Rin appeared at the door, yawning and sleepy.

"What's going on? It's New Year's Day, what big deal can happen?!"

Rin's tone of voice was very unhappy, with a strong sense of being out of bed.

"I'm leaving at noon, let me sleep a little longer...What?!"

When Sakura put the report about Nanaya's gossip in Rin's face, Rin instantly woke up from her daze.

"Damn it! This guy is going to make trouble! We haven't even left yet and he's already doing something weird like this!"

"And that woman, even though we know she lives in the villa, who knows if she's being so high-profile on purpose!"

The two sisters looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes.

"Sister Lin, are you going home?"

"Fuck off! We're going to Chiyoda now. What about you?" Lin said angrily.

"I'm not going back either! Let's go settle the score with Nanaya directly!" Shimoya Sakura answered in the same tone.

"Yes! Let's go together! Let's go together!"

There were also sparks in Tohsaka Rin's eyes, but she immediately thought of another question.

"Wait! We can't just go through like this, we need to set up a cover."

After all, Sakura and I were still idols, so it would be inappropriate to block a man's door like that.

"Lily should go along, she definitely doesn't want to miss this event, and she can bring another sister along." Sakura nodded, "I'll give Illya a call while we're at it, I'm sure she'll be interested."

"OK, I'll bring Elle with me. It'll be easier to fool people with more people. Really! I'm always worried after the New Year!"

Lin, who was so angry, started screaming in the corridor.

Just like that, the two girls decisively gave up the plan of going home, and instead went directly with their families to settle accounts with a certain beastly director.

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

At the same time, on the platform of the Tokyo Shinkansen, Ori and Shiki was carrying large and small bags preparing to go home for the New Year.

That’s what she said, but only Shiki was carrying the bag, while Ori was just browsing on her phone with empty hands.

"Hey, weave..."

Shiki looked at his brother with a dark face.

"Um?"

Oritou replied without even looking up.

"Well, can I..."

"No."

Ori knew what her sister wanted to say, so she refused before she even opened her mouth.

"Why----?"

Shiki let out a long, disappointed sigh.

“It’s very heavy!”

Ori finally put down his phone. He looked at Shiki disdainfully and said, "You want me to help you with your luggage, right?"

"Uh-huh."

He nodded his head happily, looking like a happy pug.

But Ori rejected her again: "No, this is a punishment for not being able to control your mouth!"

This year, Ori followed Nanaya to travel in the United States for the entire year, which led him to relax his control over the style.

The result is that Shiki, who was left unattended, ate to his heart's content this year.

However, since Shiki does not have the Saiyan gorilla bloodline, the negative effect of eating so much is that his weight is also soaring rapidly.

Over the past year, Shiki's weight has increased by an order of magnitude.

Although it is not very noticeable from the outside, at most Shiki's face has become a little rounder.

But Ori was very keen to notice that when Shiki came to pick her up, he was wearing a kimono instead of casual clothes.

Although Shiki said that she was playing herself, Ori was not someone who could be fooled so easily.

He knew very well that there was only one reason why Shiki chose a kimono, and that was because she, as his elder sister, wanted to hide her figure.

So that night, Ori ignored Shiki's insistence and dragged her onto the scale.

Then, when Deng Shi stepped down from the scale in embarrassment, his whole face was black.

A new diet and exercise plan has been formulated, and Shiki will face all-round oppression from the devil for a long time.

For example, during the New Year, everything except bitter soba noodles is prohibited.

For example, during the New Year, you can go hiking three times a day and get enough exercise.

In a nutshell, if you don't lose weight to normal standards during the New Year, then Shiki will have to follow Ori to the United States to lose weight after the New Year.

This was a devastating blow to the style. After all, everyone knew how difficult it was to go from extravagance to frugality.

After enjoying delicious food for a year, facing the bitter taste of homemade soba noodles.

Shiki instinctively wanted to refuse.

But the situation is stronger than people.

Facing the oppression of the great devil Ori, Shiki has no choice but to give in.

"Oh, heaven, earth. Which angel can help me with this? I just want to eat delicious food during the New Year. Is this too much?"

Listening to Shiki's nonsense, Ori pressed his fist directly on his sister's temple.

"You've been eating it for a year! Aren't you satisfied enough?!" Ori said with a disappointed tone.

Shiki didn't care about it at all. For a woman like her who used kimono to cover up her weight, eating was more important than anything else.

"Hey, it would be great if Senior could invite us to his house to celebrate the New Year like he did last year. In that case, no matter how much you forbid it, it will be useless."

Shiki looked at the sky and sighed.

"Stop daydreaming. Senior and Shion are going to spend the holiday together this year. How could he possibly let a light bulb like you join in?"

Ori put her hands on her hips and warned Shiki: "I'm telling you, sister. If you don't reduce your weight to the standard this time, I will..."

Ding-a-ling~

The familiar telephone ringtone rang.

This made Ori, who was halfway through his sermon, feel particularly embarrassed.

"Answer the phone. What if it's mom calling?" Shiki shrugged. "Once we get on the train, you'll have plenty of opportunities to lecture me."

Ori snorted coldly, picked up the phone and looked at it with a surprised expression.

"Really, mom? Did you discuss this?"

"No, it's not. You should answer the phone right away. What if something unexpected happened to the arrangement to pick us up later?"

Shiki felt very strange when she found out that she had guessed it right, so she quickly shook her head to clear herself.

"Moshimoshi, mom?"

As soon as Ori answered the phone, he heard the anxious voice of his mother, Ryougi Kiyomi.

"Hello!? Shiki?"

"Yes, Mom." Ori nodded, "We are preparing to take the Shinkansen back. We should be in front of the train before lunch."

"You're still planning on taking your time to go home for the New Year?! Didn't you see it on the news?"

Ryougi Kiyomi spoke to the other end of the phone in a very anxious tone.

Because the words were so anxious, Ori almost thought his mother was yelling at him.

"News, what's wrong?"

Hearing his mother's anxious tone, Ori wanted to understand what had happened.

However, Ryougi Kiyomi did not give a specific explanation. Instead, she kept talking like a string of cannonballs: "I was wondering why that woman gave our family shares. I didn't expect that she was planning to buy off our Ryougi family! Shiki, you don't have to go home this year. Go and get Nanaya back for me!"

"Um...senior?"

Ori really didn't know what this had to do with Nanaya.

"Yes! It was our Ryougi family who first set eyes on Nanaya, why should we give her to the Washimine family! Shiki, I tell you, you absolutely cannot lose in this matter. Our Ryougi family cannot afford to lose this person! If you can't deal with Nanaya and drive that vixen out! Don't go home for the New Year!"

After saying that, Ryougi Kiyomi hung up the phone, leaving Ori alone, disheveled in the wind.

Beep-beep-beep

Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Ori felt completely confused.

Whether I can go home for the New Year has anything to do with my predecessors?

And my mother mentioned the Washimine family. She must be talking about Washimine Shion, right? Why did she bring her up?

"I think... this is what Mom is talking about."

Because Ryougi Kiyomi spoke quite loudly, Shiki, who heard a few words from the microphone, immediately found relevant information on the Internet.

"This is really..."

Ori looked at the gossip about his predecessor and a young female chairman of a consortium with mixed feelings, and a conflicted look appeared on his face.

It was clearly me who took the initiative to bring this couple together, but in the end I have become unable to return home. Does this count as me screwing myself?

"Senior, you really can always find something for me to do."

Ori suddenly felt that the two words "Nanaya" and "New Year" seemed to be inherently incompatible.

Volume 1: Chapter 167 Heroes of the Storm

　　"What is that...?"

　　The little fox-eared nun opened her eyes wide.

　　Enormous power surged from the huge black fox.

　　That energy level... has reached the level of a Herrscher.

　　No, how come an enemy of the Herrscher level suddenly appeared?

　　The previous black nun and black miko never violated the rules like this!

　　"Theresa, be careful, it almost ate me!"

　　The voice of Higyokumaru echoed in the little nun's mind.

　　Now she has merged with Theresa, but compared to the giant black fox, her power is still not as great as the other.

　　"Poor bugs."

　　The black fox grinned.

　　The tired master, the weak miko and little nun, oh, and the fox that was almost eaten by it before.

　　If it weren't for the fact that the dark power of fifty thousand years was so overwhelming that it could not completely control its body for a moment, the fox would never have been able to escape.

　　Even now——

　　The hatred that has accumulated over fifty thousand years has still not been completely digested.

　　But the power that can be controlled now is already enormous.

　　Darkness completely enveloped everything.

　　Now this is its territory!

　　No one can escape from here.

　　This is true even for the projection of the master's consciousness.

　　The outside world can no longer interfere here——

　　At least you have to have the ability to penetrate the dark realm.

　　"Haha, Master, give me your body and I can let these little bugs go."

　　The black fox looked at the little child.

　　The Overlord corrupted by emotions was given a weakness out of nowhere.

　　Previously, because of the priestess's consciousness, the power of the alien insect overlord could not be projected in.

　　Amon noticed this.

　　He hopes to accomplish his goal at the lowest possible cost.

　　"Zerg, don't agree to its request!"

　　Theresa immediately retorted.

　　"It will never deliver on its promise!"

　　The little nun could feel the deep malice.

　　"Zerg, leave me be."

　　Yae Sakura took a deep breath.

　　This incident was caused by her——

　　It should end because of her.

　　I was very lucky to see Kallen Kaslana again.

　　Previously, Kallen decided to sacrifice herself in order to help her break free from the dark will.

　　Then now it's my turn.

　　This is her space of consciousness.

　　If the miko destroys her own consciousness, can Zerg and his crew escape from here?

　　Yae Sakura made up her mind.

　　The black fox possesses a power that is totally unmatched.

　　"Zerg won't give in!"

　　Even though he was somewhat exhausted from preserving Kallen Kaslana's consciousness, Amon's dark domain also isolated the main body from replenishing the power of this consciousness projection -

　　However, the Overmind still has a way to fight against the Dark God.

　　"Humph, you are courting death."

　　Amon wields the power of darkness.

　　Various void creatures once controlled by the God of Darkness emerged one by one.

　　Void hybrids walked out of the darkness one after another.

　　This world has a power called Honkai energy, and Amon, as the former god of darkness, quickly mastered the basic use of Honkai energy.

　　However, compared to building the so-called Honkai Beast——

　　It trusts more in the terrifying creature that is a mixture of pure essence and pure body.

　　Even if the Zerg Overlord creates a huge swarm of Zerg again, it will be of no use.

　　The hybrid is far more powerful than the Zerg, and the number of hybrids that appear at this moment is also even greater.

　　"What kind of monsters are these?"

　　Theresa was shocked by the aura of those creatures.

　　How could these twisted creatures exist?

　　"Zerg, Theresa, and...Higyumaru, I will create opportunities for you later."

　　The miko tightened her grip on her weapon.

　　She was determined to die in order to create a way for her companions to survive.

　　The experience after waking up this time was very good and Yaesakura felt it was worth it.

　　She was a person from five hundred years ago.

　　Maybe it's time to return to dust.

　　"Yae Sakura, what are you going to do?"

　　Theresa had a bad feeling.

　　She doesn't want to see anyone die!

　　Kallen Kaslana had sacrificed herself before, creating an opportunity for Yae Sakura to break free from control.

　　And now Yae Sakura has to sacrifice herself to create opportunities for the little nun and Zerg.

　　"It is time for me to return to eternal sleep."

　　The miko didn't look back.

　　But her voice was full of determination.

　　I saw the world five hundred years later and met a child as cute as my sister.

　　I also met Kallen Kaslana.

　　This awakening has been worth it.

　　"wait……"

　　The little nun tried to stop her.

　　There must be a way!

　　As if sensing Theresa's determination, the cross held by Zerg glowed with warm light.

　　The pink-haired fox girl was forced out of Theresa's body.

　　"This is……"

　　Theresa was stunned.

　　The ears on her head and the shrine maiden costume on her body disappeared.

　　Golden light surrounded the little nun.

　　It seemed as if the saint who could see destiny waved to her, as if she wanted to give a gift to her descendants.

　　"This is the last bit of my strength."

　　Kallen Kaslana blinked.

　　The white-haired little nun looked very similar to her, and they both had the same determination to protect others.

　　The Holy Maiden of Destiny decided to help her descendants.

　　But if this is the case, she doesn't know when she will be able to wake up.

　　But Kallen Kaslana was content.

　　She should have disappeared.

　　Zerg saved her consciousness, so she should use this last bit of strength to make a contribution to Zerg and the others.

　　Five hundred years of longing linger in the golden light.

　　Not even fifty thousand years of hatred could extinguish this light.

　　“…”

　　The familiar power returned to the body.

　　It was different from the feeling of being possessed by Higyokumaru before—

　　Now Theresa is using the power she is most familiar with.

　　The holy cross appeared beside her.

　　The clothes on her body were replaced with a red and white dress.

　　A golden halo unfolded with the little nun as the center.

　　The sacred light isolates the invasion of darkness.

　　"The power is back!"

　　Theresa clenched her arms slightly.

　　[Celestial Hymn], this is the name of this form.

　　It is a gift from the Holy Maiden of Destiny.

　　"Dark will, I will not be afraid of you!"

　　Theresa pulled out a golden spear of light from the cross.

　　Even if the enemy is extremely powerful, she will not feel any fear.

　　“…”

　　Amon smelled a hint of danger.

　　The power possessed by a human named Theresa—

　　Seems to restrain the dark forces it uses.

　　It was as if the little fox had once been defeated by the holy light.

　　This is an idealistic consciousness space where anything can happen.

　　No, how could I fail?

　　What if the force restrains it?

　　How can the light of fireflies compare to the endless darkness?

　　"Zerg can also call someone to help!"

　　The dark forces were temporarily isolated.

　　Zerg was able to reconnect with his original body in the outside world.

　　The tired look was swept away as he was replenished with strength.

　　But it’s not enough—

　　[Zerg is determined to fight: Zerg needs help! 】

　　[Zerg determined to fight: @Happy Little Brainworm]

　　[Zerg is determined to fight: @Cockroach Bully]

　　[Zerger is determined to fight: @Ultimate invincible giant cute paramecium! ]

　　[Zerger is determined to fight: @Young fighter Taluah]

　　[Zerg is determined to fight: Zerg needs your strength! 】

　　The Overlord chose to directly pull people into the battlefield.

　　He needs time to connect with his original body.

　　Take the huge black fox out of Yae Sakura's consciousness space.

　　As long as they get out of here, the Zerg Overlord can easily crush the God of Darkness.

　　This is true even if it achieves enormous power.

　　The power of the Zerg Overlord is growing stronger all the time as the Zerg nest grows and the Zerg swarm expands.

　　[Happy Little Brainworm: Everything I have belongs to you, Zerg, please summon me directly. ]

　　[Young Warrior Talulah: My injuries have healed. If I can be of any help, please feel free to use me.]

　　[Cockroach Bully: Tsk, Zerg, just pull me over there, let me see who is so blind to provoke you? ]

　　Well, only one person didn't respond.

　　“…”

　　In the holy light, three figures slowly emerged.

　　The white-haired, red-eyed Agor drew her giant sword.

　　The Draco with silver hair and gray eyes ignited with flames.

　　The character with white hair and red eyes... Sarkaz held the high-energy stone bomb.

　　"Oh, a giant black fox? It's a really rare creature. I'm sure it can be sold for a good price."

　　W looked at the huge black fox without fear.

　　"W, it's not an opponent that can be underestimated."

　　A slender hand rested on her shoulder.

　　“…”

　　The Sarkaz mercenary froze.

　　This voice is very familiar——

　　It was the voice of the Demon Lord Sarkaz.

　　Why is she here?

　　The pink-haired Sarkaz Demon King emerged from W's body.

　　With the help of the power of the Sarkaz Demon King and the Queen of the Insect Swarm, Theresa was able to show up at this moment.

　　She could feel the call from Zerg before -

　　Even though it was very faint, it seemed to span a world.

　　But the devil still showed up.

　　"Theresa?"

　　Skadi was stunned.

　　Why is Theresa here?

　　As for Talulah—

　　Well, she didn't know the Demon King of the Sarkaz, so she didn't speak.

　　"Zerg, I'll buy you some time."

　　Theresa stood at the front of the team.

　　She looked at the huge black fox.

　　What descended here was not the entire Demon King, but a little bit of consciousness placed in each Sarkaz.

　　After joining the Zerg, she has become the most powerful demon king in history.

　　Every Sarkaz in Kazdel has been marked by her.

　　“…”

　　At this moment, the local Valkyrie was dumbfounded.

　　What are these four people who suddenly appeared?

　　Wait, this person's name seems familiar...

　　Theresa's expression became subtle.

　　The mysterious girl named Theresa has a temperament similar to Kallen Kaslana, as if they are the same kind of people.

　　All are equally holy, all are equally steadfast.

　　But if I remember correctly, Zerg said that Theresa was one of his friends...

　　"Isamara... come and help too..."

　　Afterwards, a figure emerged from Skadi's body.

　　This is the space of consciousness where Ishamara can appear freely without Skadi's approval.

　　“…”

　　The black fox was silent.

　　Where did the Overlord summon people from?

　　Except for a girl with white hair and red eyes who poses no threat, the other four should not be underestimated.

　　Each one has his or her own strengths.

　　Each of them has their own unique tricks!

　　W frowned, feeling inexplicably that she was being looked down upon.

　　"Can you guys protect Zerg with us?"

　　Theresa extended her hand to the little nun, the miko, and the fox girl.

　　It's an invisible race.

　　Only the fox girl was probably a Wolper.

　　It must be someone Zerg knew.

　　Because they all have the aura of Zerg.

　　"I am Theresa, the Demon King of the Sarkaz and the Queen of the Zerg."

　　Theresa introduced herself.

　　"...I agree, just call me Theresa!"

　　Time is running out and the black fox has already launched its attack.

　　The holy barrier created by the cross will not last long.

　　The little nun took the hand.

　　We’ll talk about Theresa and the others later.

　　"Yae Sakura, I will do my best."

　　The miko nodded.

　　"I, I, I... Yae Sakura, let me merge with you!"

　　Higyokumaru held it in for a long time before saying this.

　　Her individual combat power is negligible, but she can fight by combining with others.

　　The best choice is Yae Sakura——

　　The fox girl feels that she and the other party have the highest degree of compatibility.

　　After getting the miko's consent, Higyokumaru disappeared.

　　“…”

　　Theresa glanced at the ears on the miko’s head.

　　For a moment she thought it was Amiya's ear.

　　She shook his head and threw away those random thoughts.

　　In this way, a temporary swarm team is formed.

　　With the Queen of the Insect Swarm as the core and the power of the Black Crown as the medium, a psychic network was launched.

　　The thoughts of the seven girls are linked together.

　　“…”

　　Theresa frowned slightly.

　　This was her first time doing this.

　　Then when I first linked it, I seemed to have read some incredible ideas.

　　Although the Demon Girl quickly blocked the reading of other people's thoughts, she was still certain that some guys had ill intentions towards Zerg.

　　In addition to a mercenary who is already a repeat offender, there is also a more heavyweight guy.

　　Theresa glanced at the Poseidon girl from the corner of her eye.

　　Ninety-nine percent of Ishamara's mind was occupied by thoughts of mating.

　　And the object of mating...

　　The Demon Girl took a deep breath.

　　Theresa, she is a sea creature, not a land creature, so you should not bother with her too much.

　　...After this, I should talk to Skadi later.

　　Now,

　　The holy barrier was broken.

　　The creatures of darkness swarmed forward, trying to overwhelm the enemies of the Dark God.

　　The Zerg Overmind is driving psychic energy to shake the realm of darkness.

　　There is no doubt that——

　　If the Dark God is allowed to complete his actions, it is obvious that he will not have a good ending.

　　The black fox roared and joined the battle.

　　He should have wasted no time in launching the attack instead of trying to exploit the Overlord's weakness!

　　But it’s not too late to make up for this mistake now!

　　The fox ran.

　　“Stop right there.”

　　The Demon King of Sarkaz stood in front of it.

Chapter 430 The Coming New Year (crossed out) Storm

Yasushi Akimoto talked a lot about Trier's operational mistakes.

From operational planning and design to the staging of concerts, there was almost nothing that Trier could not be criticized for by this fat man.

Nanaya and Akimoto Yasushi both knew that this was actually an interview.

Therefore, Akimoto Yasushi naturally tried to find ways to prove his talent, just like Kong Ming facing Liu Bei.

Boss Akimoto naturally smiled happily when he heard this, and said to the idol producer whose ability was proportional to his weight in a friendly manner: "Uncle, do you want to work overtime?"

Cough cough.

The above are all jokes of course, but Nanaya does have an eye for Akimoto Yasushi's ability to produce idols.

Of course, this is only about the Japan part.

Although Akimoto Yasushi has always been obsessed with the idol market in Europe and the United States, Nanaya himself is very clear that the Japanese girl idol model will not work in Europe and the United States.

This is not only because Nanaya witnessed AKB's failure in its global expansion in his previous life, but also the conclusion he came to after struggling in the European and American markets in recent years.

Mainstream European and American societies will not buy into the idea of female idols, because their attitudes towards adult and minor stars are completely distinct.

The young and beautiful girls featured in Japanese girl idols are essentially "copper-smelting variants" in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. If they are not careful, they will get into trouble and be disliked.

For the European and American fans, if they really like loli, why don’t they become fans of Disney’s child stars?

In fact, Trier has never been promoted as a female idol group in Europe and the United States, but rather as a singing group that Washimine has emphasized countless times in public.

Even though the vocals of everyone in the group, including Lily and Rin, were just barely at the passing level.

However, many of the areas that Yasushi Akimoto pointed out as needing improvement in Japan's operations were a great inspiration to Nana.

It also gave Nanaya some ideas about Trier's future.

Although Trier started with Luvia and later on Lily and Rin, it has achieved great success in Europe and the United States.

This gives hope to everyone in the Japanese entertainment industry. Many Japanese idols hope that they can become the next Trier, or join Trier to become the next Lily Wettin or Tohsaka Rin.

Even Akimoto Yasushi himself holds the same attitude, and many of his suggestions are about how to promote Trier's new projects in Europe and the United States.

But Nanaya himself knew very well that there would not be another Trier, and even within Trier it would be difficult to produce another Lily or Luvia.

Perhaps under the guidance of her seniors, Yumi-chan might have a chance to reach Rin's current position in Europe and America, but that's all.

One of the very important reasons for this is that Nanaya himself does not have many resources.

Unlike Japanese idols who can rely on popularity to support their popularity, if stars want to make it in Europe and the United States, they must have outstanding works.

And the only person in the world who is willing to spend huge sums of money to promote these female idols in movie projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars is Nanaya herself.

Other directors who have projects on hand will not do this kind of thing, and those who would do these things do not have the resources.

As for Nanaya herself, she is no longer very interested in promoting Japanese idols.

He chose the girls from Trier because they were cheap and obedient and he could direct them.

But now, he, Nanaya Kiryu, has enough qualifications in Hollywood.

As long as Kiryu Nanaya needs him, most Hollywood actors will be very happy to work with him.

Under such circumstances, Nanaya will naturally choose to cooperate with European and American actors who are more acceptable to European and American audiences.

Unless there are special requirements on race, Japanese idols would definitely not be Nanaya's first choice.

For example, during the filming of FZ this time, there was not a single person from J company among the new actors hired by Nanaya.

Currently in Trier, the only person who can take care of Nanaya and help her enter the European and American markets is Yumi Sakutsuki.

If the scope is expanded beyond idols, then we can just add a cheap little sister, Ryougi Shiki.

The others had no relationship with Nanaya, and there was no emotional basis between them, so Nanaya had no intention of helping them at all.

As for the Japanese actors who will be used in the Nanaya project, naturally they will be promoted based on their abilities and will get resources based on their abilities.

So, Akimoto Yasushi was wrong from the very beginning.

Nanaya is not an idol producer like him, and will not spend all his resources on promoting idol groups.

But because Akimoto Yasushi himself is an idol producer, he subconsciously believes that Trier is very important to Nanaya and Washimine, so he is determined to develop Trier.

But in fact, Nanaya's current request to Trier is just to hope that the group can have a smooth transition, and after the departure of veterans like Lily and Rin, they can still maintain their position in the Japanese idol industry.

Although there are some deviations in the general direction, in terms of specific operations, Akimoto Yasushi's tricks are indeed much better than Trier's current operations.

But there is nothing strange about this.

A lot of Trier's operations are learned from the suggestions given by Nanaya, and Nanaya learned idol management from Akimoto Yasushi's 48 series in his previous life.

To be honest, Trier and his gang can be considered as disciples of Yasushi Akimoto.

However, Nanaya was not an idol in his previous life. Although he paid some attention to beautiful girls because of his interest in them, he was completely ignorant in practical aspects.

Since Nanaya, a novice, taught Trier how to operate, the final product was naturally completely inferior in Akimoto Yasushi's eyes.

"Teacher Akimoto Yasushi, what you said is really useful." Nanaya replied with a smile, "I wonder if Teacher Akimoto Yasushi will have time after the New Year?"

"Um?"

A golden light immediately appeared in Akimoto Yasushi's eyes. Wasn't this what he and Nanaya had been waiting for after so many attempts?

This time, he didn't even want to be reserved anymore, and nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, I wonder what Director Kiryu wants to talk to me about?"

"It's like this. Trier hasn't recruited new members for a long time. This time we plan to take advantage of the popularity of Fate to hold an audition. I hope Mr. Yasushi Akimoto can check it out."

Selecting new members for Trier is something Nanaya has always wanted to do.

After all, Lily and Rin have already started to become popular outside the circle. Considering their future development, they will probably only stay in Trier for 1-2 years at most before graduating.

Therefore, it is imperative to introduce new blood into Trier.

When it comes to selecting girls, Akimoto Yasushi can be said to be an expert, and it is the most appropriate thing to let him participate in the selection.

"Of course, I also want to see how big the gap is between Trier's selection temptation and my AKB."

Akimoto Yasushi also knew that this was an opportunity for cooperation between the two parties, so he naturally agreed with joy.

"Then it's settled. After the New Year, I will discuss the specific method of cooperation with Mr. Yasushi Akimoto."

At this time, the award ceremony has already begun and Nanaya is about to go on stage.

So after reaching a preliminary agreement, Nanaya did not continue the topic, but went on stage to present awards to the girls from Trier.

Although the Japan Record Awards ceremony was very grand, in Nanaya's opinion it was just mediocre.

But it is more likely because Nanaya’s mind is no longer on this awards ceremony.

The moment she handed the trophy to Rin, Nanaya's heart already began to relax.

After the ceremony, Nanaya couldn't wait to return to his villa in Chiyoda with Shion.

A whole holiday just for the two of us, and a New Year without anyone disturbing us.

Just thinking about it, Nanaya felt that this would be a very exciting thing.

However, Nanaya didn't know that the end of December 30th was not the beginning of the sweet vacation he had been looking forward to.

What awaits Nanaya is not the happy life of a newlywed couple, but a New Year that is like a storm.

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

The next morning, Shimoya Sakura woke up from her sleep while lying on her bed in the dormitory.

She was extremely exhausted from watching the live broadcast of the grand awards ceremony last night, and she also had to catch a train back home this morning.

So Sakura did not spend the night at Nanaya's villa in Chiyoda, but instead spent the night in Trier's member dormitory with Rin.

According to the itinerary, Sakura will take the Shinkansen home in the morning, while Rin will meet up with Elle who is staying in the hotel at noon, and then fly directly back to Kobe City.

Because of the tight schedule, although Sakura was still very tired, she still got up early.

After washing up, Sakura ate a simple breakfast at the dining table while habitually browsing the entertainment news on her mobile phone.

Originally, Sakura wanted to read the news about Trier winning the record award last night to satisfy herself.

Although she is in the second tier in Trier, to be honest, her popularity is only slightly better than those three foot-washing maids. She is a standard purple-haired female passerby.

However, Sakura didn't care about such things. Anyway, she stayed in Trier just to be with Nanaya.

Idol achievements are nothing but clouds in Sakura's eyes.

But she still had to pay attention to the collective glory of the team, after all, this was her Nanaya’s idol group.

"Well... today's headline is 'A director worth hundreds of billions of dollars and his boss live together in Chiyoda! The winner of the biggest Shura field in the entertainment industry is actually her!'" Sakura saw the headline and curled her lips, "What? It's not our Trier Awards... Haha!"

When Sakura saw the conspicuous green hair in the news photo, the milk in her mouth burst out.

"What???!!!!!!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 166 Kallen Kaslana

　　The pink-haired fox girl looked at the raised blade in despair.

　　At this time, who will come to save her?

　　Higyokumaru doesn't remember his past.

　　The only thing she remembered was that she was driven out, and it seemed that something was taken away from her -

　　Even her name was given by someone else.

　　Then a voice dispelled the darkness like sunshine—

　　"Zerg found it!"

　　The little child broke through the barrier of darkness and arrived at the recreated sacrificial site.

　　“Boom!”

　　There was a sound of something hitting the ground.

　　Theresa fell face down to the ground.

　　She was flying like a balloon and suddenly stopped and fell directly to the ground.

　　"it hurts……"

　　The little nun stood up with stars in her eyes.

　　Her forehead was a little red and swollen.

　　"etc."

　　Then Theresa caught a glimpse of someone who was familiar but seemed a little different.

　　"Kallen Kaslana?"

　　That was the Holy Maiden of Destiny whom I met before.

　　However, the other party's appearance has changed drastically -

　　The originally holy nun's uniform was dyed into a dull black.

　　The tough look was also taken over by malice.

　　Although the nun was smiling -

　　But that smile didn't convey any warmth.

　　“…”

　　Theresa was silent.

　　After Kallen entrusted the cross to her, she was swallowed by darkness.

　　"Sakura, it looks like we have an unpleasant guest."

　　The nun pulled the miko and made her face at the newcomer.

　　The Overlord has arrived here.

　　Completing the ritual to break Yae Sakura's will would have to be done later.

　　Now we have to get rid of the Overlord first.

　　Although the will projected by the Overlord is very strong—

　　But the God of Darkness is not without a chance of winning.

　　Yae Sakura is in his hand.

　　The nun, who had been resisting stubbornly before, was also swallowed by the darkness after losing the protection of the light.

　　After it sneaked into the miko's body, it seized the dark power of another consciousness.

　　Just wait a little longer -

　　Even the Overlord could not destroy it in Yae Sakura's consciousness space.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura's expression became somewhat struggling.

　　However, the whispers of darkness kept ringing in her ears, allowing her to see various ways her sister died.

　　And every time her sister died, it was done by her own hands.

　　The miko's expression turned dull.

　　Under the guidance of the nun, Yae Sakura raised the spiritual sword in her hand towards Zerg and Theresa.

　　The frog should have been boiled in warm water, slowly breaking the miko's heart.

　　However, Amon does not have that much time. Currently, he can only forcibly control the body of the miko.

　　This aroused Yae Sakura's instinctive resistance.

　　The ropes that bound the pink-haired fox girl were directly broken by an invisible force.

　　"you……"

　　Higyokumaru looked at the figure that appeared in front of her in a daze.

　　Did someone really come to rescue her?

　　It was still the terrifying existence that almost ate her alive.

　　However, at this moment, there was no fear in my heart, but instead a feeling of security.

　　Higyokumaru never thought that she was actually rescued.

　　The blade fell with a cold glow, and was then grasped by a small hand.

　　Zerg stared at the miko with a wooden expression and the nun with malicious intent behind her.

　　Amon is a nasty thief.

　　Not only did he steal the Swarm's ideas, he also tried to steal the Overmind's friends.

　　"boom!"

　　A huge amount of spiritual energy suddenly exploded, pushing the nun and the miko away.

　　"Are you okay?"

　　Theresa comforted the pink-haired fox girl.

　　"I... I'm fine... I just can't move..."

　　Higyokumaru answered with a slight stammer.

　　The nun had severed her hamstrings and she could no longer feel her legs.

　　Although her hands were freed from their restraints, they were still unable to support her movements.

　　"Thank you..."

　　The fox girl choked up a little.

　　The small figure stood in front of her and protected her behind him.

　　And this little girl with white hair is caring about her.

　　Higyokumaru shed big tears unconsciously.

　　She didn't know why she was crying.

　　But it seems like I haven't experienced this feeling in a long time.

　　"Hey? Don't cry, okay?"

　　Theresa was in a panic, trying to comfort the little girl in front of her.

　　"My name is Theresa. Do you have a name?"

　　She inquired as she wiped the girl's cheek with her sleeve.

　　"Higyokumaru."

　　The fox girl replied.

　　"She was the one who drove me out of my lair and took my things."

　　Hiyomaru pointed at the nun who was confronting Zerg.

　　"You mean...Kallen Kaslana?"

　　The little nun hesitated.

　　"No, it's the dark existence hidden in her body."

　　The fox girl shook her head.

　　She was very impressed.

　　The first thing she saw when she regained consciousness was a huge black fox standing in front of her. If she hadn't run away subconsciously, she might have been eaten.

　　The aura of the black fox is inside that nun.

　　"Thief Amon, Zerg is going to destroy you!"

　　For the first time, Zerg looked angry.

　　The God of Darkness tried to corrupt Yae Sakura's will and make her become Amon's minion.

　　However, in his previous close contact with the priestess, she had already been marked as the master.

　　Amon couldn't get it easily.

　　If the power projected was not limited, the God of Darkness would have been attacked by the mark long ago.

　　"hehe."

　　The nun just sneered in response.

　　It controlled the miko's body and once again took an attacking stance.

　　At the same time, the darkness around them began to surge——

　　Then, numerous monsters emerged from the darkness.

　　This is its home ground.

　　Even if you are the master, don't think you can take advantage of it.

　　"Insect Swarm, fight for the Master!"

　　Purple creatures also emerged.

　　This is the world of consciousness, so naturally we can construct a swarm of insects through fantasy.

　　“…”

　　Theresa looked around the battlefield.

　　She spotted the cross that had fallen to the ground.

　　That was what Kallen Kaslana had entrusted to her.

　　At this moment, the cross became dim, as if it would go out at any time.

　　The little nun gritted her teeth.

　　She was going to get that cross back!

　　But at this moment, the purple wave and the dark army collided with each other.

　　The situation is very chaotic.

　　And Theresa is just an ordinary little girl here, without any power.

　　She may die from unknown AOE.

　　The dark army is made up of all kinds of strange things——

　　For example, a dark gold armored warrior who is spinning with an axe.

　　For example, a combat mecha that shoots light bullets and has four legs.

　　To be honest, the little nun had no confidence.

　　But that was the cross that the Holy Lady of Destiny entrusted to her.

　　Perhaps it is the key to awakening Yae Sakura.

　　"How am I going to get that cross?"

　　Theresa bit her fingers, thinking about how to get the cross back.

　　"Theresa, I can help you."

　　Higyokumaru calmed down.

　　Then she spoke.

　　It seems that I can lend my strength to others.

　　"Higyokumaru, that would be dangerous."

　　Theresa looked at the fox girl.

　　"I'm not afraid."

　　Hiyumaru's eyes became firm.

　　Theresa and Zerg helped her, so she had to help back.

　　Although she has forgotten his past, Higyokumaru feels that she is not an ungrateful person.

　　She held the little nun's hand, and then the girl's figure turned into a point of light and disappeared.

　　At this time, the swarm of Zerg materialized by Zerg and the enemy army were in a stalemate.

　　The dark army continued to emerge, but the purple wave always maintained a certain limit.

　　This made it impossible for the Overlord to expand his victory.

　　Because there is a limit to what Yae Sakura can bear.

　　This is already the limit of a miko.

　　If more insect swarms are materialized, Yae Sakura's consciousness will be damaged.

　　Zerg didn't want his friends to get hurt.

　　However, although Amon's legions continued to emerge, they were still unable to break through the Zerg's defenses.

　　"Zerg, cover me!"

　　Theresa's voice came from behind her.

　　The little nun rushed out.

　　It's just that her appearance has changed -

　　A pair of non-human ears grew on his head.

　　The clothes on her body also changed into a red and white shrine maiden costume.

　　The strength returned to the body.

　　Theresa moved nimbly across the battlefield.

　　Although she is usually very pathetic, she is still an S-class Valkyrie of destiny.

　　She dodged the axe of the dark gold armored warrior and avoided the light bullets shot by the four-cornered combat mecha.

　　The little nun lunged forward and hugged the dim cross in her arms.

　　“Got it!”

　　The cross was soaked in blood.

　　The dark gold-armored warrior's axe had just cut her hand, leaving a bloody wound on the palm of her hand.

　　Theresa rolled on the ground in a panic, trying to return to Zerg's swarm of insects.

　　Then--

　　She noticed that the cross in her hand was beginning to get hot.

　　But the heat did not burn her, instead it made Theresa feel warm.

　　The Lord looked at the cross.

　　It carries with it the power of an indelible longing, and it seems to have been activated by Theresa's blood.

　　Then you can try to infuse spiritual energy into it——

　　The light emanating from the cross grew stronger.

　　Zerg saw a figure.

　　She was a woman wearing a nun's uniform, with white hair and blue eyes.

　　Her appearance is somewhat similar to Kiana, but her expression is tougher than Kiana's.

　　"Hello, my dear child, I am Kallen Kaslana."

　　The Holy Lady of Destiny greeted with a smile.

　　"Thank you for your strength, which has enabled me to reclaim myself."

　　She had been resisting the invasion of darkness, but after leaving the protection of the cross, the saint's will was almost completely devoured.

　　It was boundless darkness, and she was merely the existence formed by the saint's longing for the miko.

　　If it was the real Kallen Kaslana, perhaps she could resist the erosion of darkness.

　　"Sakura's will is still fighting, my lovely child, can you help me again?"

　　Kallen Kaslana held out her hand.

　　"Zerg agrees to help you!"

　　The Master took the outstretched hand without hesitation.

　　"Thank you, Zerg."

　　Kallen Kaslana's figure shattered.

　　Then--

　　The pure black nun froze.

　　The consciousness that should have been swallowed up by the darkness suddenly reappeared, and then in an instant began to resist and take back the body.

　　As a result, her control over Yae Sakura also showed flaws.

　　"impossible!"

　　Amon didn't expect that the nun's consciousness still existed and was not completely swallowed up by the darkness.

　　How could a mere human being have such a strong will?

　　"I……"

　　The miko's wooden expression became lively again.

　　She subconsciously grasped the knife in her hand.

　　just--

　　Rin died in front of her again.

　　She cut his neck with her own hands.

　　"Sakura."

　　A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

　　Yae Sakura saw pupils that were a mixture of sky blue and pure black.

　　"Kallen?"

　　The miko was stunned.

　　"I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances, Sakura."

　　The white-haired nun managed to look apologetic.

　　Then--

　　She slowly grabbed the miko's hand, and slowly but firmly pointed the knife in her hand at her body.

　　"I……"

　　Yae Sakura opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

　　"It's okay, Sakura."

　　Kallen Kaslana smiled.

　　The nun hugged the miko.

　　"I'm very happy to see you again."

　　She is Kallen Kaslana, who emerged from the thoughts placed on the cross.

　　But even so, I still want to protect her.

　　Feeling the pain of her body being pierced, the saint had no regrets.

　　Even if it means her demise.

　　"Kallen!"

　　Yae Sakura opened her eyes wide.

　　“…”

　　The nun paused in her activities.

　　Then her body began to dissipate bit by bit.

　　Kallen Kaslana, with her will to die, is determined to drag the dark will into the eternal sleep of death.

　　"don't want……"

　　The miko's voice trembled a little.

　　Then——

　　A hand grasped the dim cross.

　　Zerg closed his eyes and used his enormous spiritual energy to bring the thought body that was on the verge of dissipating back into the cross.

　　The Lord will never forget anyone who has helped him.

　　Whoever helps Zerg is Zerg's friend!

　　Without Kallen Kaslana's help, there would be no way to free Yae Sakura from Amon's control.

　　It would be very troublesome if it turns into a tug-of-war.

　　The miko's consciousness cannot bear the long-term presence of the master.

　　"Zerg, is she...still alive?"

　　Yae Sakura asked with some trembling.

　　Little kids seem to be able to do anything.

　　"Kallen Kaslana is alive!"

　　But Zerg looked a little tired.

　　He had just pieced the fragments of the body of thoughts back together, which was a very delicate job.

　　If it was spelled wrong, Kallen Kaslana would literally perish.

　　This consciousness projection only dominates a small amount of power, so it is a bit troublesome to make.

　　As for Amon's -

　　“Boom.”

　　Heavy footsteps were heard.

　　A huge black fox appeared.

　　The Dark God's plan failed.

　　It never thought that a mere human being could have such a strong will.

　　In the past, even the Zerg Overminds succumbed to the dark will of the Void.

　　However, a human being succeeded in breaking his plan with her own will.

　　The key factor in reversing the situation lies in the master.

　　Without his infusion of psychic energy, the human race swallowed by darkness would be completely destroyed.

　　But it's not a big problem.

　　It’s just that it’s impossible to snatch the body of the miko through corruption.

　　It can still use its power to forcibly occupy Yae Sakura's body.

　　Thanks to another consciousness hidden in Yae Sakura's body, it contributed a huge amount of dark power to it.

　　The black fox grinned, revealing its undisguised malice.

　　The tired master, the weak miko and the little nun.

　　And at this moment it can call upon the dark power accumulated over fifty thousand years.

　　No matter how you look at it, it’s an advantage!

　　There is absolutely no chance of failure this time!
