371, Nakano Ryokos request for help(1/2)
After moving to a new office location, it is impossible to handle all kinds of things in one day, so everyone still gets off work according to the normal time.
Kato Yusuke returned to the house he rented before and started packing his things.
I threw away the garbage that needed to be thrown away, sorted out the random things, and then bought myself a simple bed and some daily necessities from the Internet.
Since the house is due to expire in three months, he didn't buy too many things, just enough to meet his daily needs.
After packing up until almost six o'clock, I went out to a convenience store and bought some food and toiletries.
Yusuke Kato is writing the plans for "Fate/Stay Night" and "Fate/Zero" while eating a bento.
One of the two is a text adventure game, and the other is a novel+animation adaptation.
Although he told Yoshida that he would make a mobile game called "Fate Grand Order", that was only a long-term goal.
Before the mobile game is launched, he needs to use the two works of FSN and FZ to expand the world view and widely ingrain the concept of "heroic spirits" in people's consciousness.
Only then can FGO truly realize its potential, otherwise it will be just a second-rate mobile game.
To put it bluntly, the soul of the Fate IP actually lies in the "heroic spirits".
The reason why FGO in the previous life became popular all over the world was because of the vitality that the complete and detailed plot brought to the characters.
Those characters in historical legends are far away and perfect to us, and what FGO shows is exactly the shortcomings that may exist in these characters.
Each character in it has its own plot and highlight performance. Players can see different ideas colliding with each other in the same worldview.
In this process, players are both observers and experiencers, and will experience the joys, sorrows and joys of the story and resonate with some of the characters.
These are the highlights of this game.
Without the blessing of those plots, the so-called heroic spirits are just some empty paper figures, which cannot attract players to make money for them.
Kato Yusuke also hopes to achieve financial freedom through FGO, so naturally he will not launch a half-finished game hastily, but will wait for the time to come out before it comes out.
After writing the project plan for a while, my phone suddenly rang.
"...Good evening, Yu-kun, did I disturb you?" Ryoko Nakano's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
"Nakano-senpai??" Kato Yusuke was stunned, "Senior, how are you doing recently? I contacted you yesterday, but you didn't answer."
"Well..." Ryoko Nakano took a shallow breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sorry, Yu-kun, although it's a bit sudden to say this, but can I ask you for help?"
…
Twenty minutes later.
Kato Yusuke rushed to Ikebukuro Station.
He stood in the square in front of the station, looking around.
The signs of movie theaters, restaurants, and department stores are as bright as daylight, and everywhere is bustling and noisy.
In this colorful chaos, a girl entered his field of vision.
The other person was leaning against a street lamp, wearing pure white half-sleeves, with the hem elegantly tucked into a black skirt. Her short, fluffy black hair was shrouded in a cool halo, standing alone in the night.
The bustling crowd kept passing in front of her, but they did not intrude into her world. It was like there was an invisible barrier between the two parties, which further highlighted her tranquility and uniqueness.
"Nakano-senpai!" Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile on his face, calling and walking forward.
After five months of not seeing each other, this senior is still the same as before.
Hearing his voice, the girl slowly turned her head, with a reserved smile on her cold brows, and softly called Youjun.
Kato Yusuke was about to speak, but his expression suddenly froze in the next second.
For some reason, there was a bright red slap mark on Nakano Ryoko's face.
When he saw this, he was stunned at first, then his expression immediately changed, and he asked in shock and anger: "Senior Nakano?? What's wrong with your face???"
A surge of anger instantly filled his chest.
There are not many people in this world that Yusuke Kato can truly respect, and Ryoko Nakano happens to be one of them.
The other party was obviously beaten by someone, which made him feel uncontrollably angry, so much so that his whole face turned livid.
"Calm down, Yu-kun." Ryoko Nakano spoke softly, and said calmly and calmly: "I will explain the situation to you slowly, but not here. Let's find a suitable place to talk."
Kato Yusuke was a little confused by her calmness, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.
Nakano Ryoko smiled softly, "I know there is a park here, Yu-kun, come with me."
She lifted the women's shoulder bag up on her shoulder and walked in a certain direction.
The two left the lively square in front of the station and walked onto a slightly dark boulevard with few pedestrians, and finally came to a park with lush grass.
"Let's sit here for a while." Nakano Ryoko pointed to a wooden bench and said.
That area should be for people to cool off, but it was empty at this time, which was perfect for talking.
Kato Yusuke nodded, bought two cans of coffee from the vending machine next to him, and handed one of the cans to Nakano Ryoko before sitting down on the bench.
The night breeze blows, bringing with it the smell of turf and earth, exuding a tranquil atmosphere and making people feel calm.
The two people opened the tab of the metal can and took two sips of coffee.
"...Nakano-senpai." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but asked first: "With all due respect, what happened at home, senior?"
"Huh? Why do you say that...?"
"When I was having dinner with friends yesterday, someone mentioned this matter."
Nakano Ryoko murmured: "...It's strange, our family's affairs should not be easily spread to the school. Has this matter become so serious..."
Kato Yusuke took a big sip of coffee and asked seriously: "Anyway, senior, can you tell me what happened?"
Nakano Ryoko did not answer the question immediately. She held the metal can in both hands and rubbed her fingers on it unconsciously. After a moment of silence, she said:
"To put it simply, I had a little problem with my family, so I left home temporarily..."
Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, vaguely aware of the problem, "...uh, so is the injury on senior sister's face...?"
Nakano Ryoko twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled apologetically at him, and then asked instead:
"Sorry, Yu-kun, although it would be a bit presumptuous for me to say this, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to lend me some money? I will pay you back as soon as possible."
As she spoke, her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and she felt ashamed for borrowing money from her descendants.
If it weren't for the fact that she was really desperate, she wouldn't have made such a choice, but she had no choice.
With nowhere to go and no money, she needed some money to tide over the difficulties.
After hearing this, Yusuke Kato took out his wallet without saying a word, took out all the cash in it, and handed it to her, "Is this enough? Senior sister."
"...Well, that's enough."
Nakano Ryoko bowed her head, feeling a little indescribable. She was even embarrassed to count the money in her hand. She only knew that it was very thick and should be enough to support her for a while.
She pursed her lips, looked at the junior in front of her, and whispered with relief:
"...Thank you, Yu-kun. You have really helped me a lot. I will find a way to return the money to you next month at the most."
Kato Yusuke said nothing and shook his head.
The street lights illuminated the benches, casting vague shadows on the ground, and the surroundings were silent.
"...Senpai Nakano." The young man raised his sword-shaped eyebrows, his deep black eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and finally asked cautiously.
"Money is nothing, is there anything else I can do to help you...?"
Nakano Ryoko looked at him doubtfully and said, "Didn't you already help me?"
"That's not what I mean." Kato Yusuke shook his head again, looked into her eyes and asked, "I want to know what senior sister has planned next?"
"Hmm... I'll probably find a place to live first, right?"
"I remember Nakano-senpai was studying business administration at Tokyo University, right? If you want to rent a house near the school, the money will not be enough."
"Well, it doesn't matter. I've already decided to do a part-time job in my spare time, so it shouldn't matter."
"In other words, Nakano-senpai doesn't plan to go home in the short term?"
Faced with this inquiry, Ryoko Nakano thought quietly for a while, then smiled and shook her head slowly.
"...I'm sorry, I haven't thought about this issue yet, but I want to wait and see."
Kato Yusuke nodded, choosing the right words: "In that case... Nakano-senpai, do you want to live with me?"
"Eh??" Nakano Ryoko's expression froze, and she didn't react for a long time. She pointed at herself and asked: "...I'm going to stay at Yu-kun's place?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant." Kato Yusuke suddenly realized his speech error and quickly explained:
"The thing is, our studio has actually moved recently, but the previous house cannot be returned due to the contract.
I want to say that it’s empty anyway. If Nakano-senpai is willing to use it, it can help me solve this trouble... I just don’t know what senpai’s intention is..."
As he spoke, his whole face was full of embarrassment, and he was annoyed by his inappropriate choice of words.
Nakano Ryoko finally understood what he meant, her eyes wandered for a while, and she lowered her gaze with a smile, "...I see."
Kato Yusuke compensated: "Of course, I'm just a suggestion. It's up to the senior sister to decide exactly what to do. You don't have to worry."
The girl nodded and said nothing.
