066.Clubs (Part I)

On Saturday morning, a black sedan pulled up downstairs in a premium apartment.

"Shota, are you finally ready?" Leaning against the car door, Iori crossed her arms with an impatient smile on her face.

"Ah, sorry for the delay."

After a steady slap of the hand with Iori, Shota and Iori got into the car together and prepared to go to the club. As a former friend, Iori is sincerely happy that Shota can come to the club to help her. Not only because of the intimate relationship between the two, but also because of the expectation and trust of Shota's talents.

What Shota lacked was a stage, and Iori directly pulled Shota to the stage prepared for him by Akasaka Zhuyin.

Along the way, Iori was not idle, but introduced and analyzed the specific situation of 'rouge, en, rouge' to Shota. Although these Iori have specially compiled documents and sent them to Shota, the verbal explanation is still more reliable, and Shota also took advantage of this time to discuss with Iori.

"It just so happens that the game we are preparing for Natsu Comi has entered the final testing stage, Shota, you can take a look at how we work for the time being, and get acquainted with each member."

"This is really the best, is the scriptwriter of this work also Ami-sensei?"

"Well, this may be the last game script written by Ami-sensei for 'Rouge・En・Rouge'."

Although there are often various plots of fire sale festivals in Ami-sensei's works, there is no doubt that she is an excellent scripter, and such a good scripter has to quit and give up what she loves because she wants to get married.

Carrying a heavy marriage contract on his body, Shota couldn't help but sigh with empathy.

"Then again, since it's Ami-sensei's last work, why haven't you released any news at all?"

"...... final work?"

"Huh? Isn't it? ”

"Although Ms. Ami had to quit 'rouge・en·rouge' because of her husband's side, it doesn't mean that she won't write anymore."

"Eh......"

Only then did Shota realize that he had misunderstood what Iori meant. It's no wonder, after all, Ami-sensei has always been associated with 'rouge, en, rouge', and when she heard the news that she was going to quit, Shota took it for granted that Ami-sensei was going to quit the industry.

"And 'rouge, en, rouge' doesn't need any gimmicks at all." Looking at Shota's sudden realization, Iori added blandly.

Just like Lun won't reveal the information that Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eiri have teamed up, as a legendary society in the fandom, 'rouge・en・rouge' also has its own pride.

Shota frowned at this time, and he realized what Iori was trying to say.

"Because it's a work of 'rouge, en, rouge', is it a big hit?"

"Looks like you're aware of the problem, too." Iori smiled with relief, sure enough, he was not mistaken, Shota also had unusual ambitions, "As long as it is a work of 'Rouge・en・Rouge', it will definitely sell well, but not necessarily after Xia Comi this time." ”

"Because, Akasaka Zhuyin's departure?" Thinking of that meeting with Zhu Yin, Shota's face became weird. Iori didn't know why Zhu Yin quit the club, and she didn't know Zhu Yin's proposal.

Of course, Iori didn't doubt him, he just thought that Shota had eaten a lot of deflated hair at Zhu Yin's.

Iori has a deep understanding of Zhuyin's character, and he continues to say to Shota: "For 'Rouge・En・Rouge', Akasaka Zhuyin is the soul, and she is far more than just the founder of a society. ”

In addition to being the founder of the legendary society 'Rouge・En・Rouge', Zhu Yin is also a popular manga artist. It's not like Ying Lili, a painter who focuses on drawing the same book, Zhu Yin not only sells every single Chinese book, but also many comic works have been adapted into animation, movies and TV series.

Iori looked at Shota very calmly and said, "Shota, I don't have any talent as a creator, and I am very similar to Ryn in this regard. As the heir to Akasaka Zhuyin, I can't fill the void created by her departure in terms of creation, but I have my own strengths. ”

"Oh~?" Shota raised his eyebrows, if you want to talk about Iori's specialty, the most prominent thing must be the negotiation ability and network resources, "It seems that I'm not the only one who has recently joined 'rouge・en・rouge'?" ”

Of course, the addition of new blood is more than just filling in the gaps.

"That's right, but it's only Shota, you who I personally invited." Suddenly, Iori's tone softened a little, and her left hand reached out to Shota's cheek, "Shota, you're a different ......"

"Get out!" Shota slapped Iori's hand away, "I treat you as a friend, and you actually want to me!" ”

Iori laughed uninhibitedly, "Haha~ Actually, among the newcomers who recently joined 'Rouge, En, Rouge', Miss Zhu Yin has only seen you, and it seems that she values you very much." ”

"Such an important ...... I'm really flattered. ”

Shota had no choice but to smile wryly.

……

……

Shota has been to Akihabara countless times, but this is the first time he has entered this commercial office building.

After entering the elevator, Shota couldn't help but say to Iori, "It's too much of an exaggeration for a fandom club to be able to rent an entire floor in Akihabara for club activities." ”

"That's what I thought when I first joined 'Rouge・En・Rouge,' and in the eyes of many people, 'Rouge・en・Rouge' is no longer a fandom." Iori didn't deny Shota's statement, because he himself felt the same way at the beginning, "But it's not as exaggerated as you think, and the reason why I was able to rent this place is mainly due to Miss Zhuyin's connections." ”

"Miss Zhu Yin's connections?"

"Well, it is said that the owner of this building is Miss Zhu Yin's best friend and classmate, and the rent for 'rouge・en·rouge' is only one-tenth of the average price."

"I see...... It seems that Miss Zhu Yin's family background is very unusual. ”

"Alright Shota, let's finish this topic first, and get ready to join us in 'rouge, en, rouge'."

During the conversation, the elevator had stopped, and the door marked 'Rouge, en, Rouge' was in front of you, and through the glass door, you could see a girl standing at the front desk.

"Good morning, Mr. Hajima, is this the genius writer you've been talking about?" The girl at the front desk who was in charge of the reception said with a smile when she saw Iori and Empress Dowager Xiang.

"Good morning, Yoshiko, yes, it's him." Iori smiled back.

The girl who was called by Iori as Yunko was probably in her early twenties, and the smile on her face was very kind.

"Hello, my name is Shota Sawamura, and we will be companions from now on."

"Hello, Sawamura-kun, I'm Yoshiko Suga, who is in charge of the front desk, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

After the two briefly introduced each other, Iori took Shota and walked inside.
