"Sister, what are you playing?"

"Verse of the Sword – Poetry of Interlacing, a game that Shota is working on right now."

"Huh? Is it already done? So quickly, we've just found someone on our side to make the music for the game, and that person hasn't agreed yet. ”

"This is just the alpha version that has just been produced, and there are still many bugs in the game that have not been modified, such as this ......"

Zhu Yin controlled the protagonist and walked directly into the wall, which is a more common wall bug in the game, but it doesn't affect the flow of the game, it's just a small bug.

After finding that Hui was still ignorant, Zhu Yin sighed helplessly, "Generally speaking, this game is now a trial version in the trial version, and it's just a framework." Also, don't compare your side of the club with the club I created. ”

"We're also working the game."

However, Megumi didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction and disdain in Zhu Yin's mouth at all, and after seeing the CG of the heroine on the screen, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow...... This is so cute! Was it drawn by my sister who went to sea? ”

On the screen, a girl with long black straight hair is wearing a kimono and dancing under a cherry blossom tree. Although the surroundings are full of scenes and characters that are biased towards Western fantasy works, they do not seem to be unharmonious at all, but have a special feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world.

"Indeed, Iori's sister did her best this time."

On the contrary, Zhu Yin, who has seen too many exquisite CGs, doesn't have much feeling for the scene in front of him, and can only be said to be at an upper-average level.

However, Zhu Yin also knows very well that she has done her best to go to sea, after all, in Iori's plan, it will take at least two years of tempering and growth to go to sea. But the plan always can't keep up with the change, and for various reasons, I'm now the master artist of the game.

"But why do I feel a little familiar......

"Because of the prototype of Hui you and this character, the relationship should be pretty good."

"Huh? Someone I have a good relationship with? ”

After hearing Zhu Yin's words, Hui looked at the screen carefully again, "It turns out that ...... This character is Yukino! No wonder it's so cute, and the temperament is very similar! ”

"Do you want to have fun?"

"Huh? May I? It seems that our club and my sister are still competitors in Winter COMI, right? ”

Zhu Yin didn't pay too much attention to Hui's words, and directly handed the gamepad in his hand to Hui. She didn't think that her sister would do anything to be sorry for Shota.

Moreover, although Megumi's current club is only a small club, the members of the club are all arrogant and talented. As far as she knew, it was impossible for 'Eiri Kashiwagi' and 'Kasumi Shiko' to use such indiscriminate methods.

Besides, even if they really used the next three indiscriminate methods, it would be absolutely impossible for them to win the 'rouge' en 'rouge' at the winter COMI.

Whether it's in sales or word of mouth.

After seeing the new route and ending added by Shota, Zhu Yin easily made such a judgment. She had overestimated the strength of Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eiri as much as possible, but the club they belonged to couldn't give them any help at all.

"So, it's still too low now."

"Huh? Sister, what are you talking about? ”

"It's nothing, I just think that even if I have deliberately raised the difficulty, it is still too easy now. Megumi, you already know the news of Shota, so let's go back after playing the game. ”

"Huh? Don't you need me to cook today? ”

"No, I'm going to go out."

……

……

On the other side, Shota and Iori arrive at the door of a cat café in Akihabara.

As soon as he walked into the door, the cry of 'meow~meow~' made Shota's heart flutter. The soul, which was already tired, seemed to be washed in the soft and low cry of the cat.

"Hehe~ Shota really likes cats very much."

"yes, yes, I really like it."

Looking at the lazy and elegant cats in the store, Shota's eyes seem to be about to shine.

If it weren't for Ying Lili's allergy to cat hair, Shota would definitely have several cats at home. Later, although they moved out and lived with Yukino, who also likes cats, they didn't have the energy to think about raising cats at that time.

The reason why Iori invited Shota to this cat café to talk about things was to let Shota relax for a while.

Soon, under the guidance of a clerk wearing a 'cat suit', Shota and Iori took off their shoes and washed their hands before they could enter the store to get up close and personal with the cats.

"Shota, you should know the rules here, right?"

"Mmmm, you can't force the cat, you can only let it come by itself."

A regular cat café will have a lot of rules, such as no matter how hard to force the cat, you can't pet and pick up the cat at will, you can't feed the cat indiscriminately, you can't disturb the cat's rest, and you can't hurt the cat.

But for Shota, it's not that difficult.

After the two came to the table, they first ordered two drinks casually, and then asked the clerk for a lot of cat food and toys that the cat liked.

For example, balls of yarn, dog's tail grass and so on.

After taking a closer look at the surrounding cats, Shota quickly zeroed in on a white kitten lying on the bar and yawning. This kind of lazy cat will be more approachable, and younger people will be more curious and more easily attracted.

"Mimi~Mimi~"

After coming to the white kitten, Shota squatted down, looked up at the white kitten slightly, and pinched his throat and barked quickly.

After hearing Shota's bark, the white kitten opened its eyes and looked at Shota curiously.

So, under Iori's surprised gaze, Shota succeeded in luring the cat to their table in two clicks. The cat lies lazily in front of Shota, enjoying Shota's smooth fur service.

"Ahhh......h Why are you so skilled, could it be that Shota has been to this shop before? ”

"No, it's my first time here."

"That's why, I'm a regular customer, but I've never hooked up with these cats."

Of course, Iori also likes cats, otherwise she wouldn't have come to a cat café where everything is much more expensive, but she wasn't as fascinated by it as Shota.

"It's all because, Iori, you have too many thoughts!"

"Tsk, Shota, you're scolding me."

"I'm serious, cats can easily sense whether people are showing kindness to them."

Unleash kindness?

Iori reached out curiously, wanting to pet the white kitten in Shota's movements. However, what made him feel particularly shameless was that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the kitten stood up vigilantly and moved a few steps in the direction of Shota.

It wasn't until Shota pushed Iori's hand away that the white kitten lifted his vigilance and continued to lie down gracefully by Shota's hand.

“…… So, how do you show kindness to a cat? ”

"It's very simple, before you come next time, you don't try perfume."

“…… At the end of the day, these cats hate perfume, right? ”

"If you have a catnip-scented perfume, you can try drenching it from head to toe, and then I guess half of the cats in this store will hang on you, rolling and drooling."

After imagining that scene for a while, Iori shook her head with a wry smile, "Forget it, let's get down to business." ”

"Uh-huh, let's talk, I'll listen."

Shota, who was still teasing the kitten, said without raising his head, now is the critical stage of the cat, and Shota doesn't want to stop the strategy at this stage.

“…… Well, it's about that incident, I asked someone else to clarify the situation. ”

"Huh? Just now? Do you mean Yuma? ”

"Yes, that's him. Shota, do you think you should find someone to replace him? ”

“…… Not necessarily, right? This time, Shota hesitated, and even the movements of his hands stopped, "Yuzhen's ability is still very good, and nothing happened to us." ”

After discovering that Shota did not continue to smooth the hair, the white kitten opened its eyes, looked at Shota suspiciously for a while, and then took the initiative to rub the back of Shota's hand with its head.

This is a sign that the Raiders have entered the LV4 stage, but Shota doesn't care about this now.

"You don't know that, Shota." Iori shook her head, her face looking very calm, "The next stage will require close cooperation and cooperation between planning, programming, and art. And Yuzhen,It's clear that there have been mistakes at work because of dissatisfaction with you.。 ”

"But this problem has been solved, and if the members are changed in the middle of the game, the impact is not good? If someone we don't know well comes in, I think it's better not to change. ”

"That's right...... It's okay, I'm just giving an opinion, since Shota you don't want to be replaced, then don't change it. ”

After seeing that the other party agreed with his opinion, Shota relieved himself and continued to tease the white kitten in front of him.

"By the way, Iori, tomorrow, I want to take a leave of absence."

"Huh? Of course, no problem, tomorrow I don't think there is anything to do for Shota. May I ask you what you're going to do? ”

"Len also invited me to watch a live tomorrow and said something like 'this is very important, so please be sure to be there.'"

"That's right...... So Shota, can I ask you to take you to the sea tomorrow? ”

"Eh, going to sea?"

"Well, tomorrow is Saturday, and it was very hard before the sea, so I hope she can have a good rest day."

"As long as there is no problem with going to sea, of course there is no problem on my side.
