"It's so noisy! Can't I just do my job? You inhumane capitalist!"

…

at the same time.

In the island area of ​​​​the venue, members of "blessing software" are also working hard.

Unlike "TYPE-MOON" which is overcrowded, this place can only be described as empty.

--But that's the nature of the island block.

Although there are many people passing by, this is not a place that exhibitors will visit first. People only come here when they have nothing to do.

For a club like "Blessing Software" that has no achievements and no reputation, it is natural that the organizer will give it a place here.

At this moment, the members of Anyi's team did not care about this. They were immersed in studying a certain "seized" product.

"ad original setting collection"

Produced by: "TYPE-MOON"

Author: Fujimoto Shu, Kashiwagi Eri, Sagano Fumio

This is one of the bonus items in the deluxe edition of "ad", which contains a large number of original paintings by the three authors.

"Is this... Teacher Eri Kashiwagi's new original painting? It's amazing. This kind of brushwork is completely different from before... It's really amazing."

Namishima Izumi pursed his lips tightly and concentrated on appreciating it, wishing that the content above could be engraved into his eyes.

After a moment, she raised her head and sighed sadly.

The existence she regarded as her rival has made radical progress in the use of color, line processing, character expressions, etc. in her works.

Realizing this, Bo Daochang felt deeply frustrated and his confidence was severely hit.

It has only been five months since she quit "TYPE-MOON", but the other party's level is already completely different from the same level.

There is no doubt that she lost to the senior sister who she admired and wanted to compete with, and she lost miserably.

An Yilun also saw her dejected look and hurriedly comforted her.

"Cheer up and go to sea! Yinglili has grown a lot, but you are not bad at all! Don't belittle yourself."

"Senior Renye...do you really think so?"

"That goes without saying! I look at your works every day. You are definitely a hundred times better now than you were last winter, I promise!"

"Yes, yes? In that case, the gap between me and Sawamura-senpai doesn't seem to be so big that it makes people despair.

If I work hard to learn her brushwork, maybe I still have a chance to catch up with her... right?"

"That's right! That's the momentum! This is the chief original artist of our "blessing software"! Hashishima goes to the sea——!"

"Well, Senior Renye, your way of speaking is really embarrassing..."

At this time, Hyodo Michiru, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said -

"But, Xiao Chuhai, while you are making progress, others will not stop there, right? Do you really think you can catch up so easily?"

"Ugh!" Hashima Izumi's expression suddenly froze, and his whole person turned into a gray-white state like his soul was out of body.

"Hey, Michiru!" An Yilun also looked at his cousin and couldn't help but jump to his feet angrily, "What on earth are you doing——!?"

"Eh? Did I say something wrong? Isn't this a normal inference? Besides, not only are the original paintings great, but the music is also super nice~~"

"Even if that's the case...how can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"Haha?" Hyōdo Michiru sighed heavily and said earnestly: "Let me tell you, Allen, jealousy is very ugly. Is it so difficult to admit that others are great?"

"Uh uh... I'm sorry, Tomoya-senpai, Michiru-san, I have to go to the bathroom." Izumi Hashishima muttered to himself, and left the stall in despair.

"Look at the good things you have done! Michiru!" An Yilun said angrily: "That's enough, just listen to your CD and don't cause any more trouble for me!"

"Oh, Alan, you are so stubborn." Michiru Hyido spread out his hands, put on his headphones and continued listening to music.

By the way, she was listening to the OST of "ad", which is also one of the gifts of the deluxe version of the game.

"It's really disturbing..." An Yilun also muttered while squinting towards the entrance of the venue.

Even through the dense crowd, you can slightly see the scenes of the two societies from here. There is an endless stream of customers buying goods there, and it is like a bustling crowd.

Look at them.

The club's debut work, "The Gospel of Eternity and Moment", ordered 2,000 copies from the factory, but the business was miserable.

At this time——

"Toruya-san, are you concerned about what's going on over there?" Yunori Hashima, who was supposed to be a member of the club, appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh? Yin Zhi...you didn't even bother with the stall all morning! Where did you go?"

“It doesn’t make much sense to stay here anyway, so I went to find a few acquaintances to promote our game.

By the way, I also contacted some Cosplayers to help, which should bring us some popularity."

"...You're still as quick as ever, but don't tell me those Cosplayers are your bed partners?"

"Haha, has the comment about Renye-san that you care about so much been posted online?"

"What did you say?"

"Here, here, you can see for yourself."

Hashima Yinzhi took out his mobile phone and opened the discussion page of a certain forum website.

"The aisle in front of TYPE-MOON is so crowded... I'm pissed..."

"I'm right next to a club that sells the game "ad". It's so crowded with people that I can't even walk."

"Hey, is the person unboxing behind the table Kasumi Shiko... I haven't seen her since the book signing, so I can't remember clearly."

"Is it really the original painting that Eri Kashiwagi was responsible for?"

"Didn't Fujimoto, Eri Kashiwagi, and Fumio Sagano come to the scene?"

"I was lucky enough to grab the collector's edition at the scene, which was great value for money!"

"Isn't "ad" the game whose theme song was covered by idols?"

…

Hashima Yinzhi said calmly: "Just as we expected, the place is completely sold out. It is indeed that person's club."

An Yilun also disagreed with this, "...After all, they spend a lot of money on publicity alone, plus there are idols who are adding fuel to the flames, so it's normal for this to happen, right?"

It would be fine if "re" had such a battle, but even the "TYPE-MOON" stall could be so popular, which made An Yilun a little unhappy.

He admitted that "ad" is a good work, but if it hadn't been for the overwhelming publicity a while ago, it probably wouldn't be so popular.

It can only be said that "TYPE-MOON" has great advantages in publicity. The game has already become popular before it is released, which inevitably makes him a little unconvinced.

"...In the final analysis, the quality of a game still depends on the actual content, right? Those bells and whistles are all fake."

Hashima Yinzhi heard that he didn't mean what he said and asked with a smile:

"So, Toruya-kun, do you think our game is better? How many copies of "The Gospel of Eternity and Setsuna" have been sold so far?"

"...About a hundred or so."

"Oh? There are actually a hundred? It's better than I thought."

"...Because most of the customers who come to buy are fans before going overseas."

"Tsk, tsk, according to the news I learned, the sales gap between us and others is almost a hundred times, right?"

"Damn it, why do you have to bring it up? We are a new club with no popularity and a limited budget! There is no way around it... When we make the next work, it will definitely be better than now!"

"Do you really think so? Toruya-san." Hashima Yinzhi narrowed his eyes meaningfully and bluntly pointed out the problem.

"According to my eyes, this script and Chu Hai's original paintings would have been a good combination, including your cousin's music. It's a pity that you are too impatient."

"Huh? What do you mean by that-?" An Yilun also frowned and asked.

"What I mean is that we were supposed to concentrate on training and wait until Winter I to release the work in one fell swoop, but in order to compete with that person, you forcibly moved the time to now."

Hashima Yinzhi paused deliberately when he said this, and then sighed and continued:

"It's a pity. Our game should be able to become a high-quality product on a small scale, but the five-month production cycle is still too fast, and the current result is hard to say~"

"——!"

An Yilun also opened his mouth and his face became a little ugly.

Just like what Yunori Hashima said, he greatly advanced the work that was supposed to be released at the end of the year, and cut off part of the plot and characters, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with Xia I.

Judging from the current situation, he will definitely take the blame for this.

But there is no point in thinking about these problems now. The problem is what to do with the goods on hand.

If he doesn't find a way to sell all these CDs quickly, all the money he invested before will be wasted.

As if seeing through his troubles, Hashima Yinzhi raised his hand to brush his hair and smiled cynically.

"Well, in short, the lesson learned this time is a good experience for us, and it is not completely useless.
To be continued...
