359, slap(1/2)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the goods in the "TYPE-MOON" studio were sold out.
Hasumi Kanoko and Megumi both bowed their heads and apologized, and jointly announced that they were sold out. Those who were still waiting in line burst into sighs and shouts on the spot.
The two people who witnessed this scene quickly changed their words and said that the "re" side had sufficient stocks, and those who wanted to buy "ad" could queue up next door, thus appeasing the guests.
Finally, amidst people's warm applause, "TYPE-MOON" studio's Xia I debut show officially came to an end.
Everyone after a busy day gathered at the stall, drinking ice-cold drinks bought from the convenience store.
At this moment, there are still two hours before the end of the exhibition, and the excitement is much better than in the morning, and it is no longer so crowded.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was still very lively, with people excitedly shuttled among the stalls, looking for items and merchandise that interested them.
While pouring barley tea down his throat, Yoshida took the time to sigh: "Oh my god, this day's troubles are finally over."
"That's right~!" Mishima Yuzu nodded repeatedly and continued what he said, "The people here are too crazy, right? It feels like they don't even blink when buying things, it's so scary!"
Mayu Xiangra covered her mouth and snickered, deliberately teasing them.
"Hey~? Aren't Mr. Yoshida and Miss Mishima worried that our products wouldn't be sold at first? What's going on now~?"
Yoshida and Mishima Yuba looked at each other awkwardly and said sorry to everyone in a daze.
To this day, they can't forget the horrific scene they saw at the beginning.
The narrow aisles were packed to the brim, and guests were spending money like water. It’s hard to describe the shock and pressure of that scene in words, you can only describe it once with your own eyes.
"Everyone has worked hard~"
Hasumi Kanoko smiled and said:
"Thanks to everyone here today, our sales can be successfully completed. There will be a week of paid vacation in the studio, everyone, have a good rest~"
The humanized arrangement made all the members clenched their fists and applauded, and they suddenly became excited.
Because it was still a long time before the discrete event started, everyone decided to go and help "re".
After all, without the help of Akane Benisaka, the "TYPE-MOON" studio without a certain backbone would not be able to persist until now. They should reciprocate the favor.
Although the relationship between the bosses of the two societies is subtle, there are still things that should be paid attention to.
In view of this, the friends were divided into two groups.
Yoshida, Mishima Yuba, and Sagara Mayu went to the next door to help.
Megumi, Shiyu, Eiri, and Kano stayed behind to clean up the stall.
As the crowds gathered around receded, the air circulation became much better, and there was no longer that dull feeling.
Facing the suddenly empty environment, Hui had not fully adapted yet, and was still looking around blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
After a moment, she finally returned to reality, turned around and faced the three allies, lowered her head and bowed slightly.
"...Thank you everyone, everyone has worked hard."
What she said was a bit meaningless, but everyone seemed to understand her mood, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
Yinglili, who had been struggling with the cartons for a long time, showed a happy expression and said while rubbing her wrists: "Ahh~ it feels so good to be sold out. It's really worth all the hard work we have done for so long."
"Us?" Shiyu glanced at her very speechlessly, "I'm sorry you have the nerve to say that, Sawamura."
"What do you mean? Didn't I help?"
"Sigh~ I really don't want to talk about your outrageous work efficiency. Can't you be a little self-aware?"
"This, this, this...who said this is my first time setting up a stall with my own hands? It's inevitable that I'm good at it, right?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, you seemed to have asked your parents to help set up stalls in the past, right? You are truly a waste princess~"
"Wait, waste, waste, waste, waste, waste princess!?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Hasumi Kanoko, who was cleaning up, quickly found a topic.
"Speaking of which! Do you think that our studio's business is surprisingly good today? So many products are actually sold out."
Yinglili was slightly startled, and naturally turned her head.
"Isn't that natural? After all, the quality of our original paintings far exceeds those of other works on the market. How could anyone not like our games?"
Shiyu snorted with his nose and expressed coldly.
"Don't give all the credit to the original painting. The content and plot of our game are the essence. You will know it after playing it."
There was more expectation in Yinglili's voice, and she continued: "I think someone should be playing it now, right? When will the online reviews come out? Will they be good reviews?"
Shiyu said calmly: "For us creators, sales are the greatest affirmation. We don't need to care about the comments of the negative fans on the Internet."
Hasumi Kanoko looked at the two of them who had a tacit understanding and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, Xiaoshi, and Yinglili, you will definitely become star scriptwriters and star original animators~"
"
of course?""
Shiyu and Yinglili said in unison, which made Hui couldn't help but smile.
Generally speaking, although it was very tiring to go out to the stall today and almost everyone's voice was hoarse to varying degrees, the sense of accomplishment gained in the end was enough to erase all these shortcomings.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and felt that the cohesion between each other had deepened a lot.
At this moment, Hui suddenly let out a weak sigh: "As a result... Yusuke still didn't come back in the end."
Everyone was stunned and fell silent.
In an instant, the relaxed atmosphere of the previous second was gone, and an indescribable atmosphere spread.
This kind of thing is inevitable.
Even if they didn't mention this topic before, it's almost time to face it now.
Shiyu was silent for a moment, and then asked first: "Let me ask...Has Yu-chan contacted you?"
The three of them either shook their heads or said nothing.
"Hmm~" Shiyu sneered: "From this point of view, we are nothing more than this."
"...Yusuke, he wouldn't do that." Yingli lowered her head and muttered, then she suddenly raised her voice, "I don't believe it! I want to find him!"
"Stop being childish, Sawamura."
Shiyu pinched his eyebrows and sighed imperceptibly.
"What will happen even if you find him? Do you have to admit it if he dumps you in person? Stop lying to yourself. He could at least make a phone call, but he didn't."
When Yinglili heard this, she couldn't stand it.
She lowered her head, bit her lips, and trembled slightly, "Yusuke him, Yusuke him...how could he do this? This kind of thing is really too much..."
Shiyu said with a cold face, "Why are you wronged? You are not the only one who can't love you. Don't be so disappointing and recognize the reality as soon as possible."
"I don't want it! What do you mean by recognizing reality? Your words are too strange and have no meaning at all! I don't understand what you are talking about...!"
"A small poem." Kanoko Hasumi on the side said to dissuade her: "It's almost done, don't say any more..."
"Is there anything wrong? Isn't that the truth? Who didn't fall in love with a few scumbags when they were young? Isn't this normal?"
A masochistic smile appeared on Shiyu's face, her eyes flickered between Kanoko Hasumi and Megumi, and finally she turned to point at Eiri, who refused to accept the reality.
"What a pity, Sawamura. Because of what you said to me before, I originally considered giving him a chance, but he doesn't seem to need it~"
She said as if it had nothing to do with her, her expression and tone were unusually calm, but there was a bit of sadness and sadness deep in her eyes.
Hasumi Kanoko heard the determination in her tone and became completely anxious, "Xiao Shi, don't be impatient. If you have anything else to say, wait until Kato-kun comes back. At least give him a chance to explain."
Shiyu slowly turned her face, her red lips opened slightly, and there was no hesitation in her firm voice.
"He himself promised me that he would come back as soon as possible. This is his problem, not mine. I gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it. So, I won't wait for him anymore."
"
"——!"""
The shocking speech made everyone dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shiyu didn't want to waste any more words. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and turned around to leave, leaving his three stunned allies where they were.
…
An hour later, "re" was also sold out successfully.
There is still no news from Yusuke Kato, and Kanoko Hasumi cannot contact him no matter what she does.
Yinglili still had illusions and insisted on waiting until the end of the exhibition, so Shiyu expressed her position like this——
"If you want to wait, you can wait by yourself. I'm going back first. I won't be going to the celebration party afterwards either. If there's anything else, I'll see you next week."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her things and left, so fast that she didn't give anyone a chance to react.
When we came outside, the sun was no longer as strong as in the morning, and the soft light dyed the sky orange, like spilled juice.
There were many people gathered in front of the square, and it was very lively. The cosplayers competed with each other, as if the characters in the comics had stepped out of the paper and were active in the real world.
Shiyu regarded the surroundings as air and walked through them at a faster pace, not being attracted by anyone or anything.
