Chapter 402: Clearing up the injustice (thank you for being Miaomiao and not Miaomiaos ally)
Chapter 769: The injustice is redressed (Thanks to Miaolin and not Miaomiao for being the alliance leader!)
All in all, the Sony Group's affairs have come to an end for the time being.
After a week-long tax audit, the "TYPE-MOON" studio was finally cleared of tax evasion suspicions and was able to clear up the injustice.
As compensation for unjust injustice,
On behalf of the government, Kondo Kazuto, who is affiliated with the Investigation Section of the National Taxation Bureau, publicly expressed his sincere apology to the "TYPE-MOON" studio in front of the media and presented the latter with a plaque of "Model Unit for Integrity Management".
As a result, both parties settled their differences, and the ending can be said to be happy for both parties.
Prosecutor Kondo was pretty miserable.
Obviously he was the one who came to seize the studio in the first place, and he is also the one who is being pushed out to apologize. This contrast between being arrogant and respectful at the same time is really dramatic...it's quite funny.
While the friends at the studio were speechless, they also had a new understanding of the influence of Ryoko Nakano, the new representative.
Yoshida, Mishima Yuba and others were very surprised.
No one thought that the girl who always had a smile and a soft tone would hide such an amazing background - a wealthy eldest daughter born in a super conglomerate!
It really shocked everyone’s eyes.
Then, they thought of the video that had been removed from the Internet.
"Well, I just want to help him cheat. As long as I'm here, no one can bully him.
Anyone who dares to touch him is my enemy, and I will make that person repay him a hundredfold.
In this world, he is the only one who bullies others, and no one else bullies him.
Remember this sentence well, and if you have a chance to see him again next time, remember to lower your head and be a good person."
Quiet and dignified appearance, majestic speech, firm and domineering attitude...
Before this, no one could have imagined that Nakano Ryoko would have such a tough side, that she would openly stand up for her junior students and stand out as a woman who is not to be outdone.
Those who are familiar with Ryoko Nakano are secretly amazed, feeling that the eldest princess of the Nakano family seems to be serious this time.
Even outsiders understand this truth, so how could Kondo Kazuto, who worked for the Nakano family, not understand it?
In fact, since he last heard the conversation between Nakano Yukihira and Kato Yusuke, he had already made plans for the future.
Whether it was apologizing in front of the media or sending a plaque to "TYPE-MOON", it was actually his own idea, just to create a good relationship...even if it was a bit embarrassing.
Even though Kondo Kazuto suffered a lot, there were people who were even worse off than him.
As the initiators of all this, Jun Matsumoto and his gang have a completely bad reputation.
The team that was originally developing well fell apart overnight, and its members fled in all directions.
Those who have some connections have tried their best to change jobs, and those who have no other options have also changed their careers. No one wants to stay.
When Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura walked out of Sony Corporation holding cardboard boxes, they were the only two people left in the huge team.
The once bustling office is now an empty echo, filled with desolation.
The two brothers stood in the bleak autumn wind and looked at each other in confusion. They felt that everything was like a dream and it was difficult to accept the reality.
They regretted it, but were unable to change anything. The only thing they could do was to find a way out as soon as possible and seek a comeback.
However, the cruel reality poured cold water on their heads.
Although the two submitted their resumes to many companies, no company was willing to accept them, even those small-scale companies.
After all, now everyone knows that they have offended the Nakano family, so which company will take the risk to hire them?
After being rejected countless times, Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura finally recognized the reality. The domestic game industry had completely lost their place.
Seeing that he was helpless, Jun Matsumoto made a decision in despair. He wanted to return to the United States to develop and continue his career.
The day after making the decision, Matsumoto Jun boarded the flight from Tokyo to New York and sent a text message to Shimamura, saying that for the sake of getting to know each other, he would advise Shimamura to take care of himself in the future.
Jun Matsumoto slapped his butt and left, while Shimamura, who was left behind, went crazy and threw things at home, feeling helpless and furious.
He has obviously done so many things for Matsumoto Jun'an, but now he is being easily discarded like garbage. How can he accept this?
In the bathroom, Shimamura stared at the mirror with red eyes, holding the edge of the sink tightly with both hands, and said viciously: "Don't think I will just let it go. If you don't let me feel better, none of you will be able to live in peace!"
At this point, the team that once produced "Wrath of Bahamut" has been completely disbanded.
All in all, everything seems to be back on track.
The "TYPE-MOON" studio, which had been cleared of its grievances, reopened and became famous in a certain high-level circle.
Those businessmen with a keen sense of smell acted quickly.
Investment, cooperation, entrustment...
People with different interests flocked to the "TYPE-MOON" studio like a swarm, and they all wanted to board the express train that was about to set sail. They almost squeezed their heads!
Thanks to this, the main members of the studio have been harassed to varying degrees. Among them, Hasumi Kanoko's cell phone was exploded! I don't know where those people got the numbers from?
But no one can ignore it.
After all, they were all hired in the name of cooperation, and they were very sincere, especially willing to ask for a price.
Faced with the overwhelming wealth that came to her door, Hasumi Kanoko didn't know how to deal with it, so she simply pushed the problem to Kato Yusuke and let him judge.
The measures taken by Yusuke Kato were simple. He rejected all investment intentions and cooperation entrustments.
There are two main reasons.
1. The "TYPE-MOON" studio is a paradise he created for himself and his companions. The main members in it are the people he trusts the most. Naturally, he cannot let some outsiders join in and point fingers at everyone, no matter how much money he gives.
Nope either.
Second, he has a clear understanding of his own situation and understands that those people actually want to take advantage of his relationship with the Nakano family and want to take advantage of it, and their purpose is not simple.
In summary.
Kato Yusuke declined the olive branch offered by those capitals, then put the matter behind him and arranged for everyone in the studio to continue working.
But actually, Kato Yusuke was a bit wrong.
Although those investors do want to show their favor to the Nakano family through him, "TYPE-MOON"'s own dazzling results are also one of the important factors!
On the Steam platform.
"Clannad" has reached the second place in the world on the visual novel game rankings, and its momentum is still rising!
Industry insiders in the gaming industry exclaimed that this was impossible, and at the same time couldn't help but calculate the game sales. The final number was...
Online sales, 400,000 copies——!!
As soon as this data came out, the entire industry was shocked!
You must know that less than three months have passed since "Clannad" was released on Xia COMI, but the game has sold so many copies without any fanfare??
It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous——!!!
People's first reaction is disbelief, thinking that there must be a miscalculation somewhere, or there must be something wrong somewhere else.
After all, no matter how good your "Clannad" is, to put it bluntly, it is just a niche Galgame. The natural upper limit is there, and it cannot be compared to those 3A masterpieces.
This has also been proven in the offline market.
According to public data.
The physical version of "Clannad" has sold approximately 70,000 copies, accounting for only one-sixth of the digital version's sales.
...Although this number is quite outrageous, it is still not as exaggerated as online platforms!
Therefore, practitioners in the game industry unanimously believe that the sales volume of 400,000 copies of "Clannad" is definitely justified, and it is huge!
Maybe it was a smoke bomb released by "TYPE-MOON" to promote its own studio.
However, when they go to the Steam data page to see...
Damn it, why is the number of people online in this game so high??
Wait, "Clannad" actually ranks second on the global Galgame rankings——?!
Huh? Why is it priced at $45 in North America?
How dare "TYPE-MOON" be so confident???
I'm afraid I installed a fake Steam, right????
Countless questions pop up from the heads of these practitioners one after another.
They stared blankly at the computer screen, and with the last glimmer of hope, they drove their right hands to open the store page of "Clannad"...
kirakirakira～～～
In an instant, they were blinded by the golden light coming towards them.
All rave reviews!!!
The average game time played by players...20 hours+!!!
The number of comments... is countless! Even overseas it’s the same!!!
It turns out that everyone’s speculations are true!!
"Clannad" seems to have really sold out——!!??
The practitioners widened their eyes in astonishment and fell deeply into self-doubt.
…
In the "TYPE-MOON" studio, there is a workstation filled with cute figures.
Mayu Sagara stared at the enthusiastic comments scrolling on the computer screen while typing on the keyboard with great energy.
"A Letter to Players"
【to warmly celebrate!!!
"Clannad" ranks second in global sales——!
"TYPE-MOON" non-professional editor Zhenyu, on behalf of all members, would like to sincerely thank every player for their support!
Thank you everyone for liking our work~~!!
Thank you also to those who left messages below in the comment area to petition for a sequel (including overseas regions)~!
Really super happy (＞人＜;)~~~!
Hey~
But I'm sorry——!
Since we currently have no plans to make a sequel, we are unable to respond to your expectations. We are really sorry...
(bow)
°(°°)°
Instead, Mayu has prepared another good news for everyone, that is——
The animated adaptation of "Clannad" is expected to be released in July next year~!!!
You can rest assured about the quality of the animation~
The company responsible for the animation production is Benizhu Project, which is the company of the super-famous Ms. Akane Benisaka? It will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations~~~
all in all!
We will continue to create excellent works in the future, so please continue to ****, okay?
above.
——Zhenyou(-)】
"Typos check, ok~"
"Add kaomoji, ok~"
"Status released, completed! You're done~~~!"
Sagara Mayumoto admired the results of his work with satisfaction and hummed a cheerful melody.
At this time, a question suddenly sounded from behind.
"Mayu, what are you talking to yourself here alone?"
"Eh?" Mayu Sagara turned her head sharply and found Yusuke Kato looking at her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, as if she was worried about her mental state.
"Master?! When did you come??"
Kato Yusuke lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "About three minutes ago."
"Liar, since you're here, you should tell people. It's scary to be silent like this!" Mayu Sagara pouted her lips angrily, complaining again and again.
"Oh?" Kato Yusuke chuckled and joked: "Suppose you saw a person talking to himself alone in front of the computer in the office, and occasionally making strange laughter, how would you react?"
Sagara Mayu was startled when he heard this, then his cheeks bulged like buns, he raised his fists in protest: "What is a strange laughter? People don't have that kind of laughter!"
"That's because you don't realize it, right? After all, you're usually quite out of character. Are you a chuunibyou?"
"certainly not--!!"
"Well, Xiaoshi and Yinglili occasionally fall ill. This may be a common problem among creators."
"Ah, master, why do you keep talking to yourself? It's really annoying! By the way, what are you here for?"
"Oh, Kano-chan just went downstairs to buy coffee for everyone. This cup is yours, I brought it to you."
"Wow, is it true or not? That master is so kind? It's unbelievable..."
Kato Yusuke's face darkened, "If you don't want to drink it, I'll take it back."
"How could such a thing be possible?! Master is bullying people. Sister Hasumi bought it for me. I want to drink it!" Mayu Sagara grabbed the coffee, picked it up and put it to her mouth.
"So hot——!?"
Should I say she was too impatient? She was burned without any surprise, and her hair suddenly exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Kato Yusuke looked at this scene dumbfounded, and said speechlessly: "No one is going to rob you, why are you anxious?"
It’s not all your fault!!
Mayu Xiangraku thought angrily, countless rebellious thoughts flashed through his head, but he did not dare to act on them. He just kept rolling his eyes and muttering:
"...I'm not in a hurry, I just didn't expect this cup of coffee to be so hot. Thank you Master for the gift of condolence. You can go back if you are okay."
She angrily issued an eviction order and wanted to drive people away as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that instead of leaving, Kato Yusuke pulled up a chair from next door and sat down, waving his hands and saying:
"No rush, I don't have anything to do now anyway, so I just happened to come here to see you, so what were you doing just now?"
Mayu Sagara turned her face to the side and replied reluctantly: "...Of course I am working."
Kato Yusuke nodded, pointed at her computer screen and asked:
"So, you seemed to have written very interesting content on the Steam platform just now. I remember that managing the game community seems to be Ms. Mishima's job, right? How come you have a developer account?"
"——!"
Sagara Mayu's eyes suddenly widened, and she secretly screamed, "It's terrible."
As the main original artist of the studio, her job is to continuously draw better and better original paintings, which normally would not involve other work.
If she hadn't asked Yuba Mishima for a developer account this time out of personal interest, no one would have given her the chore of maintaining the game community.
However, she couldn't tell Kato Yusuke directly like this, she had to find a more reasonable reason.
Xiangraku rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and spoke seriously.
"That's because Mayu always remembers Master's teachings. If you want to be an excellent original animator, you can never work behind closed doors. You must fish more...
Ah! I mean, we must always pay attention to the fashion trends of the outside world, so I specially borrowed a developer account from Ms. Mishima, just to collect feedback from players as soon as possible, that’s all!”
Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Did I ever say anything so pretentious?"
"I've said it, I've said it! Absolutely!" Mayu Sagara said firmly, bringing her face closer to Yusuke Kato's face.
"As Master's disciple, Mayu will never forget what Master said. Even if Master himself forgets, I will not forget it either (-)~"
Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, moved his seat back speechlessly, and asked to the point: "You talk so high-sounding, but you are actually just making excuses for fishing, right?"
"...Eh??" Mayu Xiangra opened her mouth and twisted her hands together unconsciously, feeling speechless.
Kato Yusuke waved his hand angrily, "Okay, I won't tell you about this matter. As long as you can complete the work on time, you are free to do whatever you like during the rest of the time."
Mayu Sagara said in surprise: "Wow, that devil master can actually say such humane words, it's incredible!"
Kato Yusuke pinched his forehead and sighed, "Why don't you read more about the company's articles of association when you have time? This is how we are."
"Is that so...?" Mayu Xiangraku blinked, turned his head and asked, "It's strange, is it my imagination? I always feel that Master is so lackluster today. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Kato Yusuke stopped moving his hands and said in surprise: "Is it obvious?"
Sagara Mayu nodded repeatedly, raised his fist and encouraged: "I don't understand what makes you uncomfortable, Master, but fight! (-)"
Kato Yusuke was amused by her funny reaction, his frown slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just thinking about something."
As if feeling relieved, the young man's brows and eyes showed a slight smile, his eyes were upright and broad, exuding a gentle and gentle aura, which further highlighted his handsomeness.
Xiangraku Mayu unconsciously froze for a moment, then quickly looked away, rubbed his arms and spat with an unbearable expression: "Oh! Master, you laugh so disgustingly, I even get goosebumps!"
Kato Yusuke: "???"
Ignoring the smile on someone's face, Mayu Xiangra hurriedly picked up the coffee and took a few sips, then asked in a weird voice: "So, Master, what are you thinking about? Could it be about girls?
Something?"
Kato Yusuke's face suddenly darkened, "What nonsense? I'm only thinking about business. Children don't know how to talk nonsense."
Mayu Sagara said oh, with a look of disbelief.
Although her master is young and wealthy and has excellent painting skills, he is equally as good at playing tricks.
Sometimes she couldn't help but worry about him. How on earth could he take care of everyone's emotions when there were so many mistresses? It was a headache to think about.
Kato Yusuke didn't know what he was thinking, but he could tell a little bit through Sagara Mayu's expression. He couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth and asked: "Are you thinking wildly again?"
"Eh? How can there be? Master, you are too worried." Mayu Xiangara shook his head repeatedly in pretending to be surprised, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he raised a finger seriously.
"I just think, Master, as the boss of a well-known studio, you should have a lot of important things to deal with, right? Doesn't it matter if you chat with me here so leisurely?"
"There are specialties in the industry, and operation and management are not my strengths. It would be better to leave it to the right person."
"The right person...is Master talking about Miss Nakano?"
"Um."
"Ah, let's talk about it! I remember that the newly established legal department seems to be run by Ms. Nakano, right? And it is said that all the members in it are from famous big-name law firms. Is this true??"
"Um."
"Amazing!!"
Sagara Mayu couldn't help but sigh, looking in a certain direction with sparkling eyes. That was the new office of the legal department.
Through the gap in the blinds, two men and women in suits and ties were sitting at the conference table to discuss matters. They were full of elites.
Kato Yusuke also followed Mayu Sagara's gaze, his eyes fell on the man sitting in the first place, and he fell into deep thought.
In fact, that man was an old acquaintance of Kato Yusuke, and he had helped him solve Serizawa Yu's adoption issue before, so the two parties had some friendship.
This time "TYPE-MOON" established a new legal department, and Ryoko Nakano called this man over and gave him the position of head of the department, specifically responsible for handling the legal affairs of the studio.
As for the reason for this arrangement, Ryoko Nakano also explained it to Yusuke Kato in advance.
This is not only to prevent things like Matsumoto Jun from happening again in the future, but also to improve the overall framework of the studio.
Kato Yusuke is not worried about anything else, he simply feels that using this person will make it easier for Nakano Yukihira to grasp the dynamics of the studio, which will inevitably affect some of his future plans.
But then he thought about it, Ryoko Nakano should have thought of these things a long time ago. Since she thinks it doesn't matter, she must have her own considerations, and he doesn't need to be so upset.
Originally, his small industry had almost no secrets from the Nakano family.
If Nakano Yukihira really wants to investigate something at the studio, he doesn't need to do it himself. There will definitely be a lot of people rushing to send in information, such as Prosecutor Kondo of the Internal Revenue Service.
In this case, Kato Yusuke might as well be more generous and show a cooperative side so that the other party can relax their vigilance.
In any case, "TYPE-MOON" studio officially has its own legal department... although it seems very luxurious.
After many thoughts went through his mind, Kato Yusuke withdrew his gaze, stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop chatting here. I'm leaving first."
"Eh——?" Mayu Xiangraku turned around and asked subconsciously: "Master, where are you going?"
Kato Yusuke adjusted his clothes and stepped forward with his legs without looking back.
"I have to go have a game meeting with your ladies and sisters, and people from the animation production company will come later. Please sort out the work at hand as soon as possible, and remember to come and participate later."
…
Thank you for being the leader of Miaolin and not Miaomiao!!
Thank you Miaolin for your reward and suggestions for the follow-up plot. It has provided me with new ideas. I am really grateful ~
