Early in the morning of early August.

The scorching sunlight carried a heavy heat through the window lattice, uninvited.

The girl, who had slept not long ago, seemed to sense the impending danger, and instinctively shrank into the darkness.

And just when she was far away from the sun, with a reassuring smile on her face, and was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a teenager with two big dark circles on his head walked in with a natural face.

And then......

He slammed the curtains open all the way and turned on the lights as well, and the room was lit up.

"Woo~~"

The girl curled up in the quilt let out a muffled wail, like the milk of a kitten, and like the immature and tactful of a chick.

However, the young man's face did not waver in the slightest, he first looked at the girl's bare foot, and after confirming that the other party was wearing pajamas, he reached out and grabbed the quilt, and with a sharp force, lifted it open.

The girl curled up in a ball underneath was unreservedly exposed to the sun.

However, Jiang Yu looked at Zhenbai, who seemed to be going to continue to sleep even so, shook his head helplessly, nudged the girl's shoulder on the bed a few times, and found that the other party did not react much, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

A moment later, a girl with a seemingly non-smiling smile on her face walked in. A long flaxen-colored hair swayed slightly as he walked, and a pair of bright brown eyes were clear and cunning, reflecting each other.

Jiang Yu bowed to Zhenbai, who was lying on the bed, and after making a gesture of "I'll give it to you", he walked out of the room that belonged to him.

Regardless of the fact that after he went out, there was a burst of words and smiles in the room that belonged only to the girls, Jiang Yu glanced at the time on his mobile phone, pondered for a moment, went to the bathroom and finished washing, and walked into the room that was originally a study, but nearly a year ago, it became his bedroom and studio.

He had to make sure that he had packed his bags last night and that nothing had been missed.

Ah, by the way, the reason why he packed his bags was because today was the day when everyone in the club had made an appointment to go to the summer camp.

Although for a club like theirs, staying together is about the same as taking materials and about playing.

……

Two hours later, on the Shinkansen.

A group of teenagers and girls shouted noisily in the corner of the carriage with the atmosphere of an outing.

Zhenbai sat by the window, holding the brush for a long time, but still looked slender and white hands pressed on the edge of the window, pursed his lips slightly, looking at the verdant mountains, looking at the sea and sky.

Koburi and Kanna Shiraishi were playing racing games on NS with great interest, and from time to time they could hear their exclamations. I guess they were either hit by the AI, or they collided with each other.

I'm talking to Megumi Kato, and it's probably a topic between girls. But compared to ordinary women's private words, the atmosphere between the two is slightly different. If you want to say why, it's nothing more than always going to sea to say, Megumi Kato only smiles most of the time, and only occasionally says a few words.

Crossing the aisle in the center of the carriage, Lun was also hooked by his affectionate cousin, passively or actively touching the parts that seemed delicate in every sense, and was begging for mercy in a low voice.

Jiang Yu sat alone in a row, using the fixed shelf in front of the seat, tapping on the keyboard of the laptop with both hands, frowning and contemplating for a moment from time to time, and then continued to write.

Nearly four months have passed since the community broke up and regrouped to return to normal. In the past four months, what happened in the first two months can be called ups and downs, and it is not an exaggeration to use it as a script. The next two months were a bit lackluster in comparison.

The rest of the people don't mention it for the time being, as far as Jiang Yu is concerned, the events that have occurred in the past few months can be roughly divided into three parts.

First, there is the community aspect. After the friendship crisis of the club overseer, the crisis of the future of the club's first painter, and so on, although Megumi Kato still seems to be a little unable to let go, but after watching the chat history of several conversations between Ryonya and Eiri about the past, he probably won't exude a heavy atmosphere at every turn.

Although the sea has not completely gotten rid of the influence of Yingli Li's current painting style, under Jiang Yu's deliberate actions, he has also begun to desperately show what he has learned in his life for the Illya route and the Sakura route of "FSN", just so that players can slightly ignore the dark and cruel parts hidden behind it because of the painting style.

Alas, although in this kind of game with a plot lock, players have played these two lines, and if they are not aware of the darkness hidden behind them, it will probably make the game producer feel quite complicated.

Moreover, such a move as going to sea, will it make people who have been experiencing the contrast between the painting style and the plot want to resist it...... I mean, the players who have been tortured have become angry after beating the level, and that's the same thing.

However, in this regard, if such an effect can be achieved, from the perspective of planners and producers, Jiang Yu feels actually quite pleasant.

Ahem, let's get down to business. In the past few months, the second focus of Jiang Yu's daily life has naturally been "Dark Souls".

Although he is the original planner and half of the overseer, Jiang Yu certainly doesn't have much power. As for the game's specific systems and stats, he wasn't a professional, and he didn't blindly get into it. And because the initial setting has a property panel and "add points", which is the most basic system in RPG, it is natural that there are numerical planners and testers to worry about the soft and hard thresholds of values.

The work he is responsible for is probably some copywriting. For example, the specific description of the weapon and equipment database, how to break down the background of the game world, and then quietly put a sentence or two on a piece of equipment.

Well...... Since he had the pearl jade of the previous world in front of him, Jiang Yu didn't feel any difficulty in this. And after all, he has only personally participated in the production of mobile games and small indie games before, so for this "Dark Souls" project, he has more in mind, probably also a learning idea.

After the completion of this project...... Affirmatively, I can grow.

In other words, being able to understand a lot of things that were previously incomprehensible.

I can't say what the reason is, but Jiang Yu just believes in it for no reason.

The last part, yes.

After the eighth volume of "Spring Things" was published in an orderly manner, he wrote two inter-volume chapters based on the original work and some of his own ideas at the request of the publishing house and his cousin Jiang Qian's animation company. Basically, it's stories that take place in a time that isn't covered in the main chapter.

Although this is a commonplace routine development in the light, for most authors, there are a few chapters that have been accumulated in magazines, bonuses, or written in the past, plus more or less new chapters to make up the number of lazy (crossed out) to improve efficiency. However, Jiang Yu has not published anything similar in other places before, so the workload is actually not much different from a main story. And out of a little self-reliance, he treats these side stories more seriously than the main ones.

Well...... That is to say, from the author's point of view, he confidently participated in the party struggle in the side story, and began to give out sugar without scruples.

On the other hand, the animation of "Spring Things", which was broadcast in April, also ended gratifyingly in early July. The release of Blu-ray BD is still in hot preparations.,Of course, this part of the preparation is mainly the work of animation companies and voice actors.,There's not much to do with the author.。 And whether there is a second season also depends on how the Blu-ray disc sells.

After all, there was no shortage of animations in the past that exploded in word-of-mouth but sales exploded.

As for other bits and pieces, they are not Jiang Yu's main concerns. For example, Akasaka and "TheShapeofVoice" have advanced to a specific step in the recommendation algorithm, "Bai Yujing" has been specifically operated in the two games "Don't Starve" and "Origin", the leisurely and dynamic campus life of Kotobuki and others, the life of the "μ's" third-year group after entering university, and the new campus idol formed by Hono Guo and others in a semi-retired state......

It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that after the past year of deeply realizing his limitations in these matters, he wisely chose not to get involved too much.

Naturally, although we rarely see each other in private, the communication on LINE has not been broken. It is also fun to take out your phone and look at the small talk between the girls after a busy while, and occasionally make a comment or two.

Time came to noon in the midst of the laughter of teenagers and girls, and the Shinkansen slowly stopped. With the sound of the radio broadcast, Jiang Yu and his party took their luggage, and walked out of the station after crutches.

What was then presented in front of everyone's eyes was a familiar scenery for a small number of people who stayed together this time.

High-rise buildings, pedestrians in a hurry, the cityscape is commonplace. Also, the bell from afar seems to be absent; The curling fireworks seem to be light but thick.

Kyoto.

As one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in the world, it has the hustle and bustle of a big city, but also the tranquility of history.

In general, all the cities that have survived hundreds of thousands of years without being devastated by natural disasters and wars now seem to have such a light and heavy feeling.

took out his mobile phone to confirm the itinerary, Jiang Yu turned his head and said a few words to Lun, and after identifying the direction, he took everyone on a bus, and after getting off the bus, he transferred to the JR Yamanote Line, and then transferred to the subway.

Arashiyama.

During his school trip last year, he came here with Megumi Kato on the day of his free time, and the main purpose was to visit the Holy Land.

Now, they have plenty of time, and their purpose has changed from pilgrimage to material, so they spend the next few days staying at a hot spring inn on the mountainside.

The hotel was recommended by Megumi Kato, and then Jiang Yu was responsible for contacting it, and the uniform cost of this nightstay was the proceeds from the sale of COMI last winter. However, since that money is also used as the capital of the new work, everyone can't squander it.

Checked in at the front desk and then picked up the keys and a group of people chatted and laughed to find the room. Due to the composition of the staff, a total of three rooms were ordered, of which Lun Ye and Jiang Yu were one, and the remaining girls were allocated two.

However, speaking of which, let's talk about why another male member of the club didn't appear in the team this time.

On the surface, the reason given by the other party was "I really can't get along with Jiang Jun and your girlfriend", but in fact, both Lun Ye and Jiang Yu know that as producers who coordinate the overall situation, it is of course the right thing to sit in the base camp at this time, so they have no objection.

Of course, the fact that Megumi Kato and Iori really can't get along also makes Jiang Yu quite distressed.

After putting his luggage away, Jiang Yu also said to Lun, and planned to go around by himself first. As soon as he went out, he met Kanna Shiraishi, who also came out of the neighborhood.

As soon as the girl saw him, she subconsciously lowered her head, and her face was a little embarrassed. Although Jiang Yu was also a little surprised, he didn't show this posture, and after saying hello naturally, he took the initiative to mention that he wanted to take a walk around, whether the other party wanted to be together.

Shiraishi Kanna thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly, but the whole person was still a little restrained.

In this regard, Jiang Yu was a little powerless. As for the reason, it was not until the summer vacation in July. When everyone discussed the matter of staying together, although Shiraishi Kanna seemed to be moved, it seemed that because of the strict family education, he didn't know if he could get permission.

Seeing this, the girls in the club began to coax and say things like, "At this time, it's time for the first responsible person to appear!" "Although Lun is also a senior who is the representative of the club...... But this kind of thing is really better for Jiang Yu's predecessors, right? ", "Well~ This kind of boring reason should hurry up and dismantle it! "A completely irresponsible word.

So in the end, it became Jiang Yu to represent the entire community and visit Shiraishi's parents to get permission. At the same time, out of a more mature consideration, or in order to avoid a sudden flag on his body, on the day of his visit, he also pulled up Megumi Kato, who was generally idle at any time.

When they came to the door with trepidation, they were greeted by Kanna Shiraishi's mother. Jiang Yu felt that the other party was a little familiar at that time, but he couldn't recall it for a while. It's just that after Jiang Yu introduced herself, Baishi's mother showed a surprised expression and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

“…… Jiang Yu, who started living there in Chiyoda Ward two years ago? ”

When he was suddenly asked such an unexpected question, Jiang Yu was also stunned for a long time, but nodded a little dumbly. Seeing this, Shiraishi's mother suddenly showed her face, and the slight pressure she had deliberately revealed before instantly converged.

However, in front of a group of children, she didn't say anything in detail, but just roughly mentioned that she and Jiang Yu's parents were acquaintances.

After Jiang Yu was stunned, he finally matched the voice of the woman in front of him with a voice in his previous memory, and immediately stood up, his face was surprised, his lips pursed lightly, and asked, "Are you...... Landlord? ”

Shiraishi's mother smiled.

Jiang Yu was speechless - he knew that the house he lived in now was rented by his father Jiang He from a friend, and he also knew that the surname of the head of the household was Baishi, but he didn't expect to suddenly be connected with his younger sister at school.

After being surprised, Jiang Yu naturally took out a slightly closer junior gesture, saying that he thanked the other party for taking care of Yunyun on weekdays, and Baishi's mother was of course also a kind elder gesture, saying that she wanted to thank Jiang Yu for taking care of Xiaohuan Nai on weekdays.

And the next development is both unexpected and reasonable.

When Jiang Yu proposed that he planned to organize a club to stay together, the other party immediately agreed with a smile, and said the misunderstanding of "Huannai will ask you".

and learned that Jiang Yu was ...... with him Or when the relationship with his own family seemed to be deeper than he imagined, Shiraishi Huannai's attitude towards Jiang Yu became a little embarrassing.

Probably for a young girl in her youth, the thoughts that she had just clarified not long ago would become chaotic again with a slight touch like this.

The two of them just walked around the hotel for a while, familiarizing themselves with the layout. On the way, most of the topics talked about were not nutritious. Shiraishi Kanna occasionally showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, Jiang Yu was puzzled, but he didn't take the initiative to poke it, so he pretended not to know and continued to talk about the previous topic.

In the process of turning this circle, Shiraishi Kanna seems to be looking for an appropriate sense of distance between himself and Jiang Yu through actions and words. From being two steps behind at the beginning, then side by side, and finally a little faster, it became a situation where she took the lead.

All in all, after this brief exchange, the two returned to the previous harmonious and occasional small complaints between their predecessors and juniors. As for the friendship of the previous generation...... I'll put it on the back burner for now.

Of course, what Jiang Yu didn't know was that the reason why Shiraishi Kanna suddenly treated him a little stiffly, in addition to learning about the relationship between the family and Jiang Yu's family, and after Jiang Yu and Kato Megumi left that day, her mother changed her posture as a graceful lady, and asked her about the relationship between the two with a gossipy face, and after learning that it was not like that, she looked at her with a strange gaze, and then smiled meaningfully and patted her daughter's shoulder twice.

What kind of meaning is contained in this, Shiraishi Huanna couldn't tell for a while, but after guessing a certain possibility, it was mixed with some of his previous thoughts, and he suddenly became a little unable to face Jiang Yu frankly.

Fortunately, at the beginning of this occasion, under the initiative of both parties, the two returned to their previous relationship.

After that, the two walked back to Lun Ye and Jiang Yu's room, and by this time, the waiter of the hotel had already put a sumptuous lunch on the low table in the center of the room. Xiao Bury and Zhenbai also sat down at the dining table a long time ago.

After a lively lunch, a group of people took a short rest, and then went out in a group, intending to go to collect materials.
