)

Finally, the two of them started chatting.

Of course, Namishima Iori asked why Aki was also in a bad mood.

However, no matter how much he pressed, the person involved still refused to reveal a single word. He just put on a bad face and told him to stop asking.

After testing it several times, Iori Namishima finally realized that he couldn't change the other person's mind, so he reluctantly gave up the plan.

Then, they talked about Izumi Hashima and Eri Riri.

"Speaking of which, my sister seemed to have received a gift from Eri Kashiwagi two days ago~"

"Are you referring to the copy of "Little Fantasy" they exchanged?"

"Haha, in fact, in addition to doujinshi, Eri Kashiwagi also generously gave her a full-color paper card, right?"

"What……?"

"Hey, I don't know how to thank you for bringing out such a precious thing all at once. You know, if the full-color paper card drawn by Eri Kashiwagi is auctioned online, the price can reach hundreds of thousands."

"Hey, you bad guy! That's not something that can be sold, is it-!"

"Ahaha, I'm just talking casually. I will never make things difficult for you to go to sea."

"Don't ask me to repeat it again and again, I just can't stand this kind of thing about you!"

Namishima Iori shrugged nonchalantly and added, "But, Izumi has been troubled by the fact that she was being made trouble by Eri Kashiwagi recently."

"Looking for trouble?" An Yilun also asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

"Oh? It looks like you don't know about this from the look on your face."

Namishima Iori smiled and spread his hands, explaining: "To put it simply, that Kashiwagi Eri also left a message similar to a declaration of war on the full-color paper card given to Dekai~"

"War letter..."

"That's right~ Although in my opinion, with Chuhai's current level, it would be an honor to be considered as a rival by that person."

"Yinglili, she..."

"Do you want to say that she won't do such a thing? You should know that among the group of creators, there are countless childish guys, right?"

"... Chuhai didn't tell me about this, so how is she now?"

"Hey, if I have to say it, it's just that I was stimulated and felt very unwilling. I don't want to lose to that person."

"That's it..."

An Yilun also murmured: "As a creator, she has a very tough character."

"Oh, she is great at going to sea. I have always firmly believed in this. But if you really want to say it, Sawamura-san's future is more secure."

"Huh……?"

"Don't you think so?"

Namishima Iori smiled knowingly and spoke casually.

"At least here at "TYPE-MOON", as long as Sawamura-san stays with Kato-kun for one more day, she will always be the one closest to the master painter. I don't have high expectations for going overseas to learn much about this."

thing."

"Iori, you guy...why are you telling me this?"

"It's just a casual mention, I don't mean anything special."

"..."

"Speaking of which, how have you been lately? Are you happy playing games~?"

An Yilun also fell silent after hearing this and did not answer.

Are you happy playing games?

He thought he was happy, but things seemed to be getting more and more different from what he imagined.

Think carefully about your current life. Every day, you are either typing code or on the way to type code. The work is mechanical and monotonous, and there is no passion for creation.

the most important is--!

He, a Galgame expert, has no use at all in the studio.

Everyone is doing their own thing step by step, and even if they encounter difficulties, they will go to ask Kato Yusuke as soon as possible.

Of course, it is understandable that the other party is trusted by everyone as the founder of the studio, and it is not impossible for him to understand.

Understandable is one thing, uncomfortable is another.

Ultimately, he felt that he had been slighted and longed for a chance to prove himself, but there was little hope.

All kinds of factors combined made it really difficult for him to be happy.

Thinking of this, An Yilun couldn't help but complain.

"...Speaking of being unhappy, how can you be happy when you have to program every day?"

"Ahaha, but apart from this, there is no other job you can do, right?"

"Anyway, this is not what I want to do, this is not what I want to pursue."

"Hey~~This is a bit beyond my expectation."

Namishima Iori turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

"Basically, you are joining Kato-kun's studio now, and among the members are painters and scripters of the same level as Eri Kashiwagi and Shiko Kasumi. Do you know this is an opportunity that many people dream of?"

“I don’t need you to remind me about that kind of thing—!”

"Now that you know it, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

"This is because--"

An Yilun also said as if venting his dissatisfaction:

"The current studio is simply too boring. There is no passion for creation at all. Everyone is just following Kato's instructions and working step by step. There is no freedom at all!"

"……oh?"

A glint flashed in Hashishima Iori's eyes, "From what you said, are you planning to start your own business?"

"Huh!? I didn't say that!"

"But, the current situation in the studio makes you very unhappy, right?"

"..."

An Yilun also remained silent, then nodded, "...I can't deny this."

"Have you not discussed this issue with Kato-kun?"

"...This is not a difficult problem that can be solved easily."

He spoke vaguely, not wanting to mention the quarrel between the two.

Hashishima Iori stared at him sideways for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Well~ since you said so, how about we just form a club of our own to play games?"

"--What??"

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong~?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? This kind of joke is not funny at all!"

"A joke? You misunderstood. In fact, I have always valued you as a person."

"Huh? You value me...?"

An Yilun also showed a dumbfounded expression, full of confusion.

"That's right~"

Namishima Iori nodded with a smile and said:

"With my connections, negotiation skills and political ability, coupled with your ideas, enthusiasm and action, I think sooner or later I will have the opportunity to take charge of the entire fandom."

"You are saying such annoying things again. If you want to take charge of those things, you should join the event planning committee..."

"It's such a shame, I really think so.

Toruya-san, you always come up with interesting ideas that no one else can think of. This is the part where I am always inferior to you, and it is also the reason why I can't take my eyes off you."

"Iori..."

An Yilun also suddenly showed a disgusted expression, folded his arms and complained: "Don't you feel sick when you say this?"

"Haha~"

Namishima Iori raised the corners of her mouth frivolously and said with a smile: "In short, if you think of any good plans or ideas, I am willing to help you realize it?"

"...With such a loud tone, can you be like Kato and spend tens of millions to play games in one go?"

"Stop talking about those unrealistic fantasies, Toruya-san."
