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.
There was suddenly a quiet moment at the scene.
Kato Yusuke touched his nose and couldn't speak for a while.
If you think about it carefully, his behavior just now is really suspicious.
The first person just lent someone money, and then the second person invited someone to his home. It would be strange if the girl didn't misunderstand.
But he really didn’t have any evil intentions!
He just purely wanted to repay this senior sister and didn't want to do anything half-heartedly when the other person was in trouble. That would go against his principles.
After a while, a soft exhalation suddenly sounded next to him.
"...Is this okay?"
Ryoko Nakano stared at the ground and crossed her fingers together.
"It's okay if it's just a loan, but if Yu-kun takes me in, my family might cause trouble..."
Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, realizing that her problem was far more serious than revealed.
He nodded solemnly and promised in a serious tone: "Senior, please rest assured, no matter what happens, I will help."
After hearing his words, Nakano Ryoko's eyelashes flickered slightly and she pursed her lower lips tightly. Then she raised her head, her eyes mature and gentle.
"...Thank you, Yu-kun, you really fulfilled your promise and came to help me."
"Senior, don't say that, this is what I should do...and what about that house...?"
"Hmm~"
Ryoko Nakano smiled and nodded, bowing sincerely to thank her.
"I'm sorry, but I really need this help. Please let me stay with Yu-kun for a while."
"Well, senior, there's no need to be so polite... Then I'll go call a taxi first."
"Okay, please."
"Won't."
Kato Yusuke waved his hand and jogged to the side of the road to stop the car.
Nakano Ryoko looked at his back, gently pressed her right hand on her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, blushed slightly and murmured in a low voice:
"...it scared me."
…
In this way, the two came to the old studio.
Kato Yusuke put the sofa together into a temporary bed and said it a little embarrassedly.
"Sorry, senior sister, I have already booked the bed online and it will probably be delivered tomorrow. I can only ask you to feel sorry for me tonight.
In addition, the toiletries are in the bathroom. I bought them new today, so feel free to use them.
If you feel thirsty, there are juices and drinks in the refrigerator in the kitchen downstairs, and there are also various snacks and frozen foods in the pantry, so senior students can help themselves.
Finally, here are the house keys and the spare key, which I put on the coffee table."
After explaining all kinds of things tirelessly, Kato Yusuke looked around and said: "Well...that's basically it. Is there anything else you need, senior?"
Ryoko Nakano shook her head slightly, "No, thank you for being so thoughtfully prepared."
"That's fine. If there's nothing wrong with me, senior, I'll go back. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."
After Kato Yusuke finished speaking, he didn't bother to stay anymore and left directly.
Ryoko Nakano walked around the house, carefully locked the doors and windows, then returned to the "bedroom" and sat down at the four-person table by the window.
This was originally the studio's common room.
Because of the inconsistency in style, we did not move to a new office building, and most of the interior things remained the same.
Nakano Ryoko sat quietly on the chair, looking at this strange room, feeling both a sense of peace of mind and a sense of emptiness that she felt at a loss as to what to do.
Although the Nakano family's mansion is much larger than here, the servants in the family can always appear in front of you when you need them, making it more difficult to be alone.
I stayed like this for a while.
"Ding Dong~"
Suddenly there was a melodious doorbell ringing downstairs.
Nakano Ryoko looked at the surveillance camera suspiciously and found that it was Kato Yusuke outside, so she quickly opened the door.
"...Yu-kun? Aren't you home?" she asked confused, not understanding why the other party would go and come back.
"Oh, that's it, senior." With a simple smile on his face, the young man picked up the plastic bag in his hand and shook it.
"It was only after I got home that I remembered that there seemed to be no anti-swelling medicine and ice packs here, so I bought some. This should help the injury on the senior sister's face."
Nakano Ryoko blinked, "...Is this why you came back?"
"No, actually there is one more thing."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, mysteriously untied the slender cloth bag on his back, carefully placed it on the ground, and then opened the zipper.
——There was an exquisite Japanese bow lying inside.
"This is..." Ryoko Nakano opened her eyes slightly in surprise, staring at the bow and bow motionlessly, unable to look away anymore.
Kato Yusuke smiled and nodded.
"Well, this is the bow that my senior sister gave me when she graduated. I thought you might feel uncomfortable in the sudden change of environment, so I gave it to accompany you."
Nakano Ryoko suddenly came back to her senses, staring at Wagoni and his face on the ground in turn, and suddenly felt soft inside.
"...Even so, there's no need to send it in such a hurry, right?"
"It's okay, senior, because we also need to deliver medicine, so I might as well come along."
"Thank you for noticing my emotions. You-kun is really gentle."
"No, everyone said that you are exaggerating, senior. Then I will go back and you can rest early."
"Wait a moment." Ryoko Nakano gently narrowed her eyes and called to him, then raised her hand to help him tidy up his slightly messy hair.
"Youjun, your hair is messed up. Boys should pay attention to their appearance when going out and don't be frizzy. Do you understand?"
Kato Yusuke waved his hand carelessly, said goodbye to her again, turned and left.
Nakano Ryoko stood at the entrance and watched him off, closing the door only after his back completely disappeared into the night.
Then, she squatted down holding the tail of her skirt, staring lovingly at the Japanese bow that had been with her for many years, and stretched out her hand to caress it carefully.
Strangely enough, the previous uneasiness about the new environment really disappeared, and an indescribable warmth lingered in her chest.
Nakano Ryoko touched the bow with many thoughts in her heart.
Suddenly, her father's angry yelling suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Either you get married and have an heir for me immediately, or you get out of this house and never come back!"
The girl squinted her eyes and murmured in a daze:
