336, changes and arrangements

"Good morning everyone, I am Mishima Yuba~?

This is our first meeting, so please give me your advice!

It's rude to bother me by taking the liberty to come to my door. Thank you for giving me this interview opportunity. It's a great honor~~~!"

The person involved said this in a cheerful tone and bowed to everyone.

She has short, fluffy, soft brown hair, with slightly playful curls at the tips. The simple pendants on her ears sparkle, swaying gently in front of her petite face.

The light pink shirt emphasizes his lively personality, the hem is tucked into dark blue cropped jeans, and he wears a pair of black pointed wedge heels.

The owner is not tall, about 160cm, and his temperament is somewhere between a college student and a migrant worker.

Facing Mishima Yuzu's greetings, the girls either replied hello or simply nodded in greeting, while Yoshida stood aside with his arms folded.

Kato Yusuke bumped Yoshida with his elbow, gave him a narrow and meaningful look, and then took a step forward——

"Welcome to the interview, Miss Mishima. I am Mr. Yoshida's neighbor, Kato Yusuke."

"Ah~~it's here!"

Mishima Yuzuha seemed to be surprised, she let out an exaggerated shout, and then she held Kato Yusuke's hand and shook it up and down in surprise.

"Hello, hello! Kato-chan, I finally see you! Nice to meet you~~!

I've heard Yoshida-senpai tell you about you a long time ago, but I didn't expect that I'm even more handsome than on the Internet! It's so scary!

By the way, there are actually all handsome men and beautiful women here! Yoshida-senpai is so out of place here!"

"--Fool!"

Veins popped up on Yoshida's forehead. He hit Mishima's head unceremoniously and scolded:

"That other person is the president! What kind of attitude do you have? Be more respectful!"

"It hurts!?" Mishima Yuzu cried, holding her head, "Senior, how can you hit someone casually? That's too much!"

"Hmph, it's you who doesn't know etiquette first, think of this as part of teaching the younger generations." Yoshida said plausibly.

Witnessing this scene, everyone unanimously focused their attention on Yoshida's face. They were extremely surprised that this uncle actually had a suitor, and his eyes were extremely strange.

"Okay, okay, Miss Mishima is a guest today, Mr. Yoshida, please don't be too harsh."

"Uh... I'm sorry, Miss Hasumi, I just didn't realize it..."

"Eh-eh——?"

Facing Hasumi Kanoko who stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, Mishima Yuzu was stunned for some reason. She stared at the former attentively and looked her up and down, her eyes slightly alert.

"I always feel that...this beautiful lady looks a bit like Miss Goto. Could it be that Yoshida-senpai has moved on to someone else?"

"Pfft! Ahem, hey, Mishima, what are you talking about!?"

"Yoshida-senpai, what are you wavering about? You failed to confess to Miss Goto so you resigned. Now everyone in the company won't even mention it as gossip?"

"What did you say-!?!?"

Yoshida's expression froze, his eyes lost focus, and he squatted down with his head in his hands, his face turned pale, muttering in his mouth.

"...Huh? It's a lie. Why do people in the company know about this... Well, I can't do it anymore. I'm too embarrassed to see people. I really want to die."

"Ahaha, if you don't cry, senior, don't you still have me? I will stay with you~!"

Mishima Yuba gently patted Yoshida's back and offered him a handkerchief, but he was rejected by the other party.

"Damn it, who wants you to accompany me... No! Ms. Hasumi is the representative of our studio! She is also someone close to Kato, so please stop making assumptions about others!"

"Eh? Is that so? I'm sorry, Ms. Hasumi, please forgive me for being rude just now. My Yoshida-senpai is grateful for your care~" Mishima Yuzuha bowed apologetically.

"Ah, um...it's okay, I didn't care." Hasumi Kanoko waved her hand gently.

"Hey, hey, hey! Mishima, you are a visitor who is not even an intern, so you are not qualified to say such things!" Yoshida gritted his teeth.

Seeing the two of them performing a workplace ethics comedy without anyone else around, Kato Yusuke cleared his throat and had to stop him——

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. Kano-chan, please show Miss Mishima around the studio. Let's all go back to work."

Everyone nodded and dispersed in a measured manner.

Kato Yusuke returned to his workstation, but within five minutes of his butt touching the chair, Hasumi Kanoko called him to the office upstairs.

"——Please, please let me join here!"

Mishima Yuba clasped her hands in front of her face, bowed her head and said sincerely.

So fast?

Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then cast a questioning look at Hasumi Kanoko, who gave him a wry smile in return.

"Ms. Mishima seems to like our place very much. After a brief look at the environment, she wanted to join us."

"Have you discussed the salary issue?"

"We talked about it."

Hasumi Kanoko looked at Mishima Yuzuha and said strangely:

"Because Ms. Mishima doesn't have much development experience, I'll just follow the industry's normal standards for the time being. Ms. Mishima said she has no problem."

"Hehe, it's because this is the place chosen by Yoshida-senpai." Mishima Yuzuha grinned, "You can tell by his look that this place is very good, so I don't think the treatment is too important~"

Kato Yusuke understood. This person has a very high concentration of love brain.

As if she understood the look in his eyes, Mishima Yuba coughed reservedly and explained further.

"Ahem, of course, I don't make decisions on the fly.

I'm personally very interested in game companies, and there's no overtime here! The most important thing is that it's great to have weekends off and so on!

No wonder Yoshida-senpai likes this place so much, it’s so happy, isn’t it——?”

Hassan couldn't help but smile when he saw Kanoko. He liked the other person's rich expressions and lively temperament, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Mishima, for your recognition of our studio. I'm a little curious, haven't you heard Mr. Yoshida mention our company before?"

"How about saying that Yoshida-senpai is too much? He has hardly contacted us since he came here. He is so mysterious that everyone speculates whether he is missing."

Kato Yusuke listened for a while and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Frankly speaking, he really wanted to see the future development of Yoshida and Mishima Yuba, so he made the decision——

"Okay, since Miss Mishima has already thought about it, you can go through the entry procedures for her, Kano-chan."



In the afternoon after sending Mishima Yuba away, the studio welcomed a new guest.

In the conference room, Akane Benisaka put down a document with a big wave of her hand and explained her purpose in a concise and concise manner.

"Boy, this is the business plan I asked someone to draft. Read it carefully and tell me if you have any questions."

"ad publicity plan"

[Release time]: August 15

[Distribution platform]: PC, home console

[Distribution channel]: Physical version (on-site sales, online booking, store consignment)

[Release version and recommended selling price]:

"Regular Edition (¥5800)", "Deluxe Edition (¥9800)", "Collector's Edition (¥20800)"

Kato Yusuke frowned when he saw this and started asking questions one by one.

"We are currently only making the PC version of the game, and there are no plans to port it to home game consoles yet?"

"Sooner or later, there will be no Galgame in Japan that is not on the console platform, unless you think you have too much money."

"As for distribution channels, I actually plan to release a digital version on Steam."

"The effect of that channel is average in Japan, and the sales volume of the home console version is not as good. As for overseas markets... you have to find a professional translation company to cooperate."

"We have already found this. We have four built-in versions: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean."

"Huh huh~ You're quite ambitious, right? Well, you have the final say on your work."

"Is the price of the collector's edition too high? What should I sell it with?"

"We'll talk about this later. Just look down first."

Akane Benisaka deliberately let it slip, so Yusuke Kato had no choice but to continue reading.

【Promotion】:

1. Social media

2. Game magazines

3. Parade Bus

4. Tram advertising

5. Akihabara Plaza Big Screen



Kato Yusuke patiently read all the content and felt unhappy instead of worried.

To be honest, this kind of publicity completely exceeded his expectations.

It’s true that he wanted to borrow the little aunt’s resources, but it was more to use the other party’s excellent reputation among players to endorse it, but this publicity plan was simply too over the top!

According to the agreement they made early on, Akane Benisaka would not receive any income from helping him publish the game, so there was no reason to treat him so favorably.

It feels like you originally lost an iron axe, but someone else packed up the gold and silver axes and gave them to you.

"...Are you the Lady of the Lake?"

"Aha?"

"Based on the plan above, the publicity costs will be at least several million, right?"

"What? You think it's too little?"

"This, this, this~"

Kato Yusuke struggled for a moment, pretending to be distressed and said:

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean, this guest. We have agreed in advance that we are just a performer and not a prostitute, okay? You tell me a time, and I will do whatever you want with me when the time comes -"

"Bah! Daydreaming about you——!"

Akane Kurisaka spat with a blushing face, took out a new document from her bag and threw it at his face.

"You damn boy, stop talking nonsense. Just shut up and read it, or I'll kill you!"

Despite being thrown something, Kato Yusuke remained magnanimously lifeless and looked intently at the document in his hand.

A few minutes later.

"Huh? Auntie, are you planning to invest in a handicraft factory??"

"To be precise, I have already invested. Now it's time to see if you are interested in partnering."

“Isn’t this too sudden??”

Ignoring his surprise, Akane Benisaka went on her own way.

"There are two ways of cooperation before you. One is to join a joint venture with me and share dividends in proportion, and the other is to lease the copyright of the work to me in the form of buyout or sharing. Which one do you choose?"

"...You don't want to introduce me to the situation of this handicraft factory?"

"To put it simply, this figurine factory went bankrupt because it couldn't get any IP for its works. I thought their craftsmanship was pretty good, so I bought the factory."

"Okay, you are indeed my rich aunt."

Kato Yusuke raised a thumbs up and said incomprehensibly: "But I still don't quite understand the reason why you roped me in."

In other words, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Akane Kurisaka's actions.

Although it is true that he owns the work "ad", the other party owns a large number of IPs of popular works. It can be said that investing in a handmade factory will definitely make a profit, and there is no need to let him play with it.

Akane Benisaka looked at his suspicious look, smiled thoughtfully, and lightly opened her red lips.

"Ah~ didn't you just ask me what I would give as a gift for the collector's edition of the game? I plan to make a set of figurines of the main characters of "ad" as a gift."

Kato Yusuke was surprised, "Won't you lose money?"

"We are making Q-version figures, and the cost is not that high. This is the sample I brought to give to you."

Akane Hongsaka said, throwing a small object to him.

——That’s a Nendoroid of Pochita.

Although the workmanship is not as fine as that of Yusanjia, the expression is still lifelike, with big eyes and a cute protrusion, making it look cute.

“All in all, I think it’s a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

This will not only promote my figurine factory, but also pave the way for my animation production team.

The better your game sells, the more dividends I can get from the "ad" animation~

Having said so much, have you thought about it?"

The conference room fell into a thoughtful silence.

After a while, Kato Yusuke asked thoughtfully:

"...I can give you the license for "ad" at a low price. In exchange, can I give the investment opportunity to others?"

"Oh? Who do you want to give it to?"

"It's not clear yet, I need to confirm with them."

Akane Hongsaka raised her eyebrows in surprise, then nodded happily, "Okay, I have no objection. Then contact me when you are sure."

Kato Yusuke felt slightly relieved, smiled with relief, and further communicated with the other party about the specific matters of game release.

This conversation lasted until we were about to get off work.

In order to quench her thirst, Akane Benisaka picked up the coffee and drank it in large gulps. However, her right hand shook for some unknown reason, causing a small piece of coffee to spill on her trousers.

The repeated situations aroused Kato Yusuke's vigilance, and he frowned and said:

"Seriously, little aunt, what's going on with your right hand? This has happened more than once. You really should pay more attention and go to the hospital."

"I know, I know, I'll definitely go when I'm done with my busy schedule."

"Tsk...this statement smells like setting a flag."

"Come on, I'm currently working on the animations for "Chainsaw Man" and "AD" at the same time. Next, I have to publish your game. I'm so busy. How can I have time to do anything else?"

Kato Yusuke was deeply troubled by her stubbornness, so he had to do the next best thing and take a qi and blood medicine.

"Come on, little auntie, eat it."

"what?"

"Your favorite mints."

"You think I'm stupid?"

"Just think that you were deceived by me and you just eat it."

Akane Hongsaka frowned and then relaxed, repeatedly staring at the medicine in his hand and his face, muttering: "What a nagging brat..."

Even though she said this, she still took the qi and blood medicine.

"Okay, I have to go to the company next, so I won't waste time with you. Remember to reply to me as soon as possible about the handicraft factory. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he strode out of the conference room.

Kato Yusuke looked at her back and could only hope that the qi and blood medicine would improve her physical condition.
