"first."

Faced with the request made by Akane Benisaka, Yusuke responded unhurriedly.

"This seems to be something that Ms. Hongsaka should know. No matter how unpopular it is, this is still a commercial work. I think confidentiality is reasonable and necessary."

"Secondly, I don't plan to raise funds from outside. If you want to use this reason to convince me, don't bother."

"Finally, let me take the liberty to ask, assuming that after our project is completed, would Ms. Hongsaka be willing to cooperate with us as a publisher?"

After he finished saying this...

Benisaka Akane was stunned for a moment, and then...

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Without any warning or reason, she began to laugh wildly in an excited tone, causing her slender body to tremble.

He glanced at the wine bottle placed in the center of the table, which originally had a liter but was now almost bottomed out.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but wonder if the person opposite was drunk, and then looked at the boss behind the counter.

I saw that the other party was calmly placing sushi on the plate, not reacting at all to the loud noises in the store, with a calm expression.

Then he looked away again, silently thinking about some rumors about Akane Benisaka in the industry.

Mature woman, scheming, queen, cartoonist, undefeated genius... these are the positive aspects.

Crazy, cold-blooded, reapers, unscrupulous, creator's grave... these are the negative ones.

Just as Shiyu reminded me when she was on Xia Comi.

As the queen of doujins, Akane Benisaka, there are countless examples in the industry of creators who became stars because of her attraction.

However, in contrast, the known number of creators who were unable to meet her expectations after being attracted by her and thus went bankrupt was several times the number of successful ones.

This is why she has gained a huge reputation with mixed praise and denigration, and even more denigration than praise.

Despite this, this man still goes his own way and remains standing.

And it seems that she will always walk tirelessly on the road ahead, letting countless dead bones pile up her undefeated myth in the business world.

Unstoppable and unstoppable.

Like a dazzling scorching sun, no one can stop her from rising into the sky.

Even those who were originally qualified to stand by her side were forced to stop at some stage because of their own limited wisdom, and sighed as they watched her leave.

Unknowingly, the only person left was Akane Benisaka.

The reason why Yusuke proposed cooperation with her was because of his vast channels and rich connections.

If the other company can really become the publisher of the game, it can be said that the publicity and distribution issues will have been guaranteed by then.

As a time traveler, he naturally understands that the smell of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley.

Although it is not easy to create a hit, it is not impossible, but creating a classic is another matter entirely.

In order to achieve financial freedom in the future, and to live up to the emotion that "Clannad" once brought to me.

Kato Yusuke is willing to work hard to achieve excellence in all aspects.

While thinking about this, the sushi restaurant owner carrying a tray also brought various delicacies to the table.

Akane Benisaka, who seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy from laughing wildly and kept banging the table with his fists, didn't hesitate to pick up a foie gras hand with his bare hands and threw it into his mouth, and then poured another glass of sake into the glass.

.

"It's really - so interesting!"

She said roughly and boldly: "Would you like a drink too, Teacher Eromanga?"

Hearing this...

"Hey, Miss Kousaka——!"

The store owner, who was just about to return to the counter, immediately warned, his face no longer calm and became very serious.

only--

Snapped!

A dull voice suddenly sounded in the store.

The boss's words suddenly got stuck in his throat midway through his words, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the thick pile of mundane things on the table.

Bang, click, click.

Phew~~~

The white smoke was inhaled by the red lips, and then slowly exhaled from the handsome nose.

"Sorry, boss. I want to talk to this guy about something private. Can you take a break?" Akane Kurisaka, holding a Seven Star cigarette between her index and middle fingers, said calmly in a low and hoarse voice, with a cold face.

It looks a bit coquettish in the swirling smoke.

The air was quiet for three seconds.

Suddenly a sigh sounded in the store.

"I'm sorry."

The middle-aged boss said without a smile: "I suddenly remembered that there is a batch of newly arrived goods in the kitchen that have not been processed. Please allow me to excuse you for a moment."

With that said, he cleared his throat and walked out.

While his eyes were looking straight ahead without squinting, one hand seemed to slip on the table inadvertently.

Like a breeze blowing by.

After the boss left the store, the annoying pile of mundane things disappeared from the table.

"So--"

The sinister queen lightly opened her red lips and exhaled a puff of smoke gracefully.

"The troublesome guy is gone, what do you say?"

Ding ding.

The green-white fingertips flicked on the transparent glass on the table, making a pleasant crisp sound, as if urging someone to respond.

After taking a look at the smeared lipstick on the mouth of the cup, Kato Yusuke, who had not made any comment during the whole process, shook his head and expressed his rejection.

"Yeah, forget it."

Seeing this scene, Benisaka Akane nodded indifferently, picked up the cup, and drank the clear water-like nectar in one gulp.

"——So, you just said you wanted me to be your publisher?"

"right."

"Are you ready to convince me with your reasons?"

“Does being able to make money count?”

"How much do you earn?"

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment, made a fist on the table with one hand, and then stretched out a finger.

Akane Benisaka lowered her eyes and had no reaction.

"least."

"Really."

A brief silence.

Kato Yusuke hesitated for a moment, then stretched out a finger.

"Huh~~ I want to know what your estimated sales volume is for the game?"

"Starting first, fighting for one to guarantee three. Nationwide, top ten." Kato Yusuke said word by word, staring intently into the opponent's eyes.

Akane Hongsaka had no expression on this, she just narrowed her eyes slightly and scoffed: "Not bad ambition."

After speaking, there was no response until a small cluster of cigarette ashes fell on her hand, and she flicked it away.

"So are you willing to accept it? Miss Hongsaka."

The other party put out the cigarette in his pipe without saying a word, then lowered his head and ate the food on the table, seemingly thinking.

And Kato Yusuke just watched her quietly as she ate the food with a look that could not be described as rude or sloppy, and also remained silent.

About ten minutes later.

Akane Akane, who seemed to be replenishing her strength, took out a piece of tissue paper from the paper box on the table and wiped her mouth.

"It's better than this." She said, "Let's make a betting agreement."

"The gambling agreement..." Yusuke muttered and frowned, "What is it about?"

"According to what you just said, it depends on whether this plan can achieve that kind of sales volume by then."

Akane Kurisaka said: "I can agree to the publisher's offer, but the condition is that you come to "rouge en rouge" after losing."
