Tokyo, Ginza, Mikage-tei.

It is known as one of the top five high-end restaurants in Japan, but it also has the impression that it must be expensive.

Not only does a lunch cost tens of thousands, but it is also fully booked months in advance, and sometimes it is used as a place for foreign ambassadors to Japan to entertain their guests.

With a wry smile and a helpless expression, Iori Hajima glanced at the text message on her mobile phone and slowly walked into the "Mikage Pavilion".

The first thing that catches your eye is a vast space that you can't believe is inside the building—streams flowing, bridges crossing, and carp playing in the water. The air conditioning hidden around also controls the temperature just right, so it doesn't feel cold or stuffy.

After politely inquiring about the location of the private room at the front desk and showing his identification, Iori Hajima followed the staff who led the way through the long corridor and finally came to "that person" without any problems.

Came to the person who was the "legend" that spread in the fandom and was also the "queen" who ruled the business world.

Akasaka Zhuyin.

But there was not a hint of awe, longing, or worry on Iori Hajima's face.

Rather, he seemed to fully understand what it would be like to open the door in front of him.

“…… Alas, it must be a drunk person anyway, right? ”

Whispering to herself, Iori Hajima smiled and nodded to the staff leading the way, and after the other party politely retreated, he let out a breath and slowly opened the door.

Typical Japanese tatami mats, soft but not dazzling lighting, splashed ink landscape paintings as decorations, I don't know if it is genuine or high-quality porcelain, incense burner silently staying in the corner of the room, low table and cushions in the center, empty sake bottles scattered around, and ...... A woman leaning over the table made a low, shallow sound of sleep.

Iori Hajima walked straight over, pushed the woman's shoulder, and called softly, "Miss Zhuyin? Miss Zhu Yin, it's almost time to get up, right? ”

“…… Well? ”

The woman leaning over the table let out a half-dreamy and half-awake murmur, and then finally opened her eyes under the persistent call of Iori Hajima.

"Haa......a Oops, it's Iori? ”

Thanks to the fact that the other party finally raised his head, he was finally able to let people see the whole picture.

Red hair, red eyes.

However, compared to the eyes, the red of the hair is a little darker, and it gives people an awkward feeling of paranoia and heartiness mixed together.

He looks to be about 30 years old, not tall, and slender. The long hair is tied back and has a bit of a neutral taste...... It's better to say that the current style is completely an uncle.

"You're sleeping, you're still in this haute cuisine pavilion."

Iori Hajima tugged at the corners of her mouth, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she said unceremoniously accusatory.

Akasaka Zhuyin yawned and replied indifferently, "Well...... After all, I haven't slept for a week. ”

As she spoke, she was still holding the wine and pouring it into her glass.

What if no one is around? No, it's just my own business, isn't it?

Iori Hajima shrugged her shoulders, thought about it, and persuaded her: "It's better to pay attention to this kind of thing?" It's not the age to force yourself so much. ”

"Huh......" Hongsaka Zhuyin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, unmoved, and said indifferently, "I will sleep for three days in a row from tonight to make up, so it doesn't matter." ”

"Then you can't stay here for three days, let's go back."

Ignoring Akasaka Zhuyin's absurd "show-off without sleeping" in the eyes of ordinary people, Iori Hajima began to carefully clean up the plates and bottles in the house.

The relationship between the two of them is very simple, but it is better to say that the relationship between the two representatives before and after "RE" cannot be complicated.

Because that's "re", it's a club founded by Akasaka Zhuyin, and it's naturally her Yiyantang. Who will be her successor is, of course, up to her.

So in the end,Hajima Iori, who can neither draw nor write articles.,But the sophomore high school boy who was discovered by Akasaka Zhuyin to supervise the qualifications.,Become her successor.,Take care of the monster-level fandom of "RE".

As her number one disciple.

With this identity, Akasaka Zhuyin naturally enjoyed the service of Iori Hajima, but she quickly frowned and said, "Wait a minute~ Iori, by the way, I also ate dinner here." ”

Iori Hajima said helplessly while tidying up in an orderly manner, "...... It's really not distressing to spend the customer's money......"

To this, Akasaka Zhuyin smiled and did not answer.

As one of the top creators in the industry, she thinks she'll be able to enjoy the benefits she has now. In other words, at present, these treatments are all exchanged for her own brain, her own pen, and her own works, and there is no such thing as being deserved.

The next moment, the room fell silent. Akasaka Zhuyin swiped his fingers aimlessly on the table, his eyes staring at the landscape paintings on the wall, his vision a little blurred and a little intoxicated.

INTERVIEWER Even though it's sake, it's impossible to drink so much and not feel like it at all, right?

Unconsciously, Akasaka Zhuyin's head drooped, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep in the next second. But she immediately raised her head again, lifted up one hand holding the bottle, and then fell down again, making a dull sound.

When Iori Hajima heard the prestige, her brows frowned slightly, and she asked puzzledly, "What's wrong, Miss Zhuyin?" ”

Akasaka Zhuyin yawned, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he said casually, "What happened to the club you want to poach?" ”

Iori Hajima was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect her master to care about this kind of problem, and she couldn't help but stop the movements of her hands. After a moment of silence, he said honestly, "Well...... After all, it's an old friend from the past, and I don't want to use any indiscriminate means, so in the end I decided to attack from the front and use the work to speak. ”

"Ha......" Akasaka Zhuyin made a sound that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, "Who asked you this?" I want to ask, how is that teenager? ”

Iori Hajima raised her eyebrows slightly, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "I thought you wouldn't care about this, Miss Zhu Yin." ”

"What doesn't matter?" Akasaka Zhuyin yawned indifferently, "It's just that as a child of a former idol, he is now barely his junior, so it is inevitable that he will pay more attention." ”

"After all...... If he wasn't a 'genius', he wouldn't be interesting......"

As he spoke, the corners of Akasaka Zhuyin's mouth rose, revealing a smile of innocence and coldness.

Looking at this smile, even Iori Hajima, who has been with each other for so many years, can't help but feel a shudder, and sincerely begins to mourn for Jiang Yu.

Yes, Jiang Yu.

His father, Jiang He, as a game producer, has been active in the game industry for nearly twenty years, if you start doing some fanworks like Jiang Yu is doing now.

And Hongsaka Zhuyin, who is now in his early 30s, was naturally influenced by Jiang He at that time. It is better to say that as a talented young producer of the previous generation, Jiang He's influence has spread to almost all game producers aged 30 and below.

Among them, the most outstanding, or as outstanding as Jiang He at the beginning, and his skills cover the whole world, is Hongsaka Zhuyin.

But it's a pity that Jiang He has a tendency to shift his focus to corporate management in recent years, and rarely builds a world without sleep or food as he did when he was young, and makes a game with the mentality of a craftsman.

Not to mention...... In this day and age, even if you have made a classic enough game with ingenuity and painstaking efforts, if it is not popular, how much can you think about starting your next journey?

In such a situation, Hongsaka Zhuyin, who was a little regretful not competing with his former idol, naturally set his eyes on him after learning of Jiang Yu's existence.

And the plan that the other party came up with this time, although it is a galgame, still makes Hongsaka Zhuyin have a feeling of brightness in his eyes that he has not seen for a long time. Because of this, she occasionally mentioned Jiang Yu to Iori Hajima when she was interested.

Iori Hajima became interested in this.,And after starting to investigate the other party.,But Iori was shocked to learn that he actually formed a fandom with his former friends.,And that club also has a fantastic lineup of original script art.,That's the story you saw later.。

…… Hawkers, even though the producers still supervise and plan, they all look like novices.

Hearing Akasaka Zhuyin's evaluation of "genius", Iori Hajima's expression was a little moved, thinking of the brief meeting at that time on Xia I, shaking his head and sighing: "This evaluation is not easy to deny?" Or should I say that it is a little subtle to say it from Miss Zhu Yin's mouth? ”

"After all, if he is considered a 'genius', Miss Zhu Yin, you are a complete 'genius', right?"

Those who are gifted and talented are called talents; Those who are unexpected and have a lot of personality are called weird.

Hongsaka Zhuyin is such a creator who interprets the word "geek" from all aspects.

"Aha——!" Hearing this, Akasaka Zhuyin opened his eyes and laughed, not caring that this was a well-known high-end restaurant in the country, "Is this what Iori you say about me?" It hasn't changed since a few years ago, has it? And ......"

The smile on Akasaka Zhuyin's face was completely retracted, his eyes narrowed, as if an awe-inspiring sword light flashed, and he said meaningfully: "Whether he is a 'genius' or a 'weird', there is no way to make a conclusion now, isn't it?" ”

As a creator, everyone has a flash of inspiration. The difference between ordinary creators and genius creators lies in whether they can often flash in their minds, or firmly grasp the dazzling that flashes away.

As a creator who has no works under his name now and has just embarked on a journey, Jiang Yu is just the impression of a "somewhat interesting teenager" in Hongsaka Zhuyin's heart, which also counts his bonus as a child of his former idol.

Iori Hajima seemed to understand Akasaka Zhuyin's thoughts, nodded silently, and said in a gentle tone: "Since that's the case, let me try his talent with this work." ”

"Heh......" Hongsaka Zhuyin chuckled lightly, and continued to follow the topic of his disciple, "Speaking of which, why did you choose to fight each other in the ring with exactly the same type of work?" I thought that with your character, you would not be able to achieve this level of hatred. ”

She was referring to the new sci-fi ADV that the other party specially released under the name of "RE", and it was after the group of children's clubs first proposed the concept of "hypothetical science ADV".

However, in fact, the concept proposed by Jiang Yu should not be called "proposed", and it would be more appropriate to use words such as "generalization", "induction" and "summary".

After all, before he decided to come up with this "Gate of Destiny Stone", which can be called the pinnacle of "hypothetical science adv" in his mind, it was not that no one in this world had made a similar galgame that favored ethereal concepts such as time and space.

"That's what Miss Zhu Yin said." Iori Hajima shrugged helplessly, "According to my thoughts, it's okay to come up with other categories of works." Even if there is a contest, there is no need to be so obvious. But my sister......"

"Oh?" Hongsaka Zhuyin became a little interested, "Is it a little out to sea?" I remember hearing you mention it a few times. What do you think? Would you be interested in her coming to me? ”

In this regard, Iori Hajima refused rhetorically: "No kidding, Miss Zhu Yin. Until you reach a certain level of growth at sea, I don't dare to let her work with you. No, it's better not to work with you for the rest of your life. ”

"Poofhahahaha~~ Don't talk too much!" Akasaka Zhuyin let out an unbridled laugh again, and then his eyes lit up, and he said in an unusually indifferent tone, "As long as you don't get 'destroyed', won't you be able to grow to a point that you can't even imagine?" ”

"It also has to be 'ruined.'" Iori Hajima had no intention of talking about it, and lightly brought the topic over, "Out of the idea of putting the creative intentions of the main members first, I will carry the possibility of being resented by my old friends, and choose this type of galgame, right?" ”

"Alas...... Forced to find a writer who could write for a sci-fi-focused game in such a short period of time...... As a result, I poached the entire script team of a well-known game club. ”

Iori Hajima said such things without showing off or complaining, as if he were stating the result of taking it for granted.

It's also true.,In the fandom,,Very few creators can resist the poaching of "re". Like Lunya, there is no one who refuses.

However, Iori Hajima always had a premonition that even if he bypassed the representatives of the club and went directly to the creator to negotiate, he would be cleanly rejected. I want to talk about "Programmer in the Second Yuan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
