On the other hand, Jiang Yu also forwarded the link to Megumi via LINE at the same time that the video was posted on the website, followed by a "Happy Birthday" that looked ordinary at first glance. As for how he felt at the time...... Smugness, reserve, anticipation, and so on.

It's like a child who finds something that he thinks is a treasure, hides it mysteriously, and gives it to his playmate who always smiles innocently and brightly in his memory.

It's just that the way he gives gifts is a little more high-profile. But as a Qinghe game script writer who has not held an offline signing party so far, Jiang Yu has no worries about some traffic stars at all. It is better to say that even if he does become a so-called "star" one day, he does not think that the opinions of the outside world will interfere and affect his daily life much.

What's more, he never planned to stand in front of the stage from beginning to end.

Not long after the video link was sent, Jiang Yu received a call from Hui. After connecting, neither of them spoke first, and only the slight breathing of each other could be heard. The atmosphere of silence and tranquility spreads in each other's spaces, but it does not seem boring, but has a faint sense of warmth and harmony.

I don't know how long this silence lasted, Jiang Yu took the lead in saying with a smile in his tone: "Happy birthday, Hui." ”

"Hmm......" The female voice on the other end of the phone, which had always seemed extremely calm, was quite strangely a little shy and happy, "Thank you for the gift, Yujun." ”

Jiang Yu smiled silently, did not answer, but brought up another topic: "Now you always know what I am doing when I go out early and return late this time, right?" Please don't show that expression anymore, it's really scary. ”

“…… Well. ”

This time, Megumi's voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be stained with a little smile.

Jiang Yu always felt that he and Hui were not like ordinary couples who had just been dating.

Since dating for more than a year, the two have not even had a quarrel or a cold war. In addition to this, the frequency of phone calls and chats with each other is not very frequent. But at the same time, the fact that the woman always comes to the man's house to cook does not seem to be something that ordinary couples can easily do.

Speaking of cooking, it seems that before the two of them even dated, Megumi was already familiar with the kitchen at his house.

What is this? Skip the stage of couples and become newlyweds?

Jiang Yu's mind flashed this statement that had been ridiculed by some friends before, and after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Jiang Yu's sudden laughter, Hui couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Yu responded with a smile: "It's nothing, but I suddenly feel that the two of us are not like ordinary couples, but a bit like who has been teased by before, the feeling of a newlywed?" ”

The voice fell, and Megumi's breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly froze. Jiang Yu only reacted to what he said casually at this time, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't mean that...... Ah, that's not right, not at all? Ah, what the hell am I talking about! All in all, think about it, ordinary girlfriends definitely don't come to their boyfriend's house every day to help cook, right? That's probably what I meant! ”

A moment later, a faint voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Even I think it's better to be formal about this kind of thing." At least don't say it on the phone, right? ”

Jiang Yu was speechless for a while, of course he understood what "this kind of thing" represented, and he could also understand the unfinished meaning of the other party's words. But because of this, he can't make a promise because of a moment of brain fever.

He has the belief of "one thought in his life, one thought in one person", and at the same time has the courage to take responsibility. It's just that right now, there's probably not enough time to be mentally prepared.

“…… This kind of thing, I'm kidding? ”

Megumi, who has been watching this young man step by step to where he is today, can certainly understand the other party's thoughts. Therefore, there is naturally no loss in my heart, and at the same time, I lightly give the other party a step down.

Jiang Yu's frowning brows stretched out, and he responded softly: "Hug ...... No, thanks. ”

For more than a year of dating, he and Megumi have never said sorry or sorry.

"Hmm." Megumi's voice returned to its usual flatness, and then she suddenly said coldly, "Speaking of which, Yujun, do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”

"Of course...... No? Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat, but his tone seemed quite innocent and casual, "Why do you ask?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a gut feeling, probably because my intuition was wrong this time."

Listening to Hui's explanation, Jiang Yu's hand holding the mobile phone couldn't help but shake, and he gently blew on the bangs in front of his forehead, wiping away the cold sweat that didn't actually exist.

What should I do if my girlfriend has an EX-level intuition skill? Waiting online, it's in a hurry.

The next day, the influence of the video uploaded by Jiang Yu in the early hours of the morning finally fermented in full swing. Even the sea and Shiraishi Kanna, who were supposed to rush the draft, took the time to send "greetings". And that Hongsaka Zhuyin actually sent him a message, "It's good to be young~ Are you interested in helping me do things?" message.

Hey, the second half of the sentence is your real purpose, right?

In the next few live broadcasts, when asked about related questions, Jiang Yu also replied very calmly - "I do have a girlfriend, what's wrong?" "In reality, having a girlfriend has nothing to do with my wife drawing on paper. "It's not that it's a childhood sweetheart, it's just a high school classmate. "Do you need to ask? I must have confessed first. "There is no character based on her at present, and I may not write it in the future. "And so on and so forth.

In mid-October, "The Promise Under the Blue Sky" was officially completed, and the next month was spent recording voice actors. Of course, because the schedules of the voice actors are not exactly the same, most of the time two or three people are recorded together, and several of them as the main actors have to record for several days depending on the situation on the scene. Of course, this was not supervised by Iori himself, who was only responsible for contacting the relevant professionals and providing the venue.

Although Jiang Yu had audited a few related courses in college, he did not have the idea of going to the scene to point fingers at professionals, and only occasionally went to the scene to pretend to be a staff member to see the situation. Anyway, although he was on the live broadcast, he never showed his face, and he was not worried that anyone would recognize him.

In November, when Hyacinth and Kasumi Shizi published the second volume of their new works, Jiang Yu seemed to be not enough to die, and when he aroused everyone's curiosity about the Fourth Holy Grail War, and was also full of curiosity and desire to explore the first Chinese heroic spirit that appeared under this worldview, he sold the second volume of the ...... "Ice Confectionery" "The End of the Fool" through the Immortal River Bunko.

This volume tells the story of Origi Bongaro, who more or less began to reflect on his long-standing concept of life because of the "Ice Candy Incident", and was involved in a rather troublesome incident by two powerful women, one overt and one in the dark. The summer vacation, which should have been lazy, had to go to school frequently to try to judge different answers to the same mystery.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this volume is the tarot card "power" that Fukube Satomi makes about the protagonist through tarot cards, which symbolize a painting of a fierce lion being harnessed by an elegant girl. This is exactly the impression that Oriki Buntaro has always given in the book, although he has a certain ability, he has always been led by the nose by some women.

Compared to the first volume, this volume has more of a sense of reasoning. Although it is only a stage play, the book does have elements such as secret rooms, homicides, victims, murderers, detectives, and so on. Moreover, this volume is still very traditional Bengeist reasoning, all the clues are given in the book one by one, and the thoughtful reader will naturally find that something is wrong, and the reader who is not too sensitive to these aspects will finally have the protagonist to reveal the puzzle.

In this regard, the fans of "Ice Confectionery", who are waiting to see it, are naturally overjoyed. And since "FateZore" has only just started to pay attention to the readers and fans of "Baili Tusu", it is a little crazy. Under Jiang Yu's Twitter, in addition to the daily reminders about "Spring Things", there are also more reminders about "FateZero".

However, compared to "Spring Things", which has been more popular for two years, these are not of an order of magnitude at all, so Jiang Yu is not painful at all.

However, soon, the revolutionary friendship of the fan group of the two books was shattered by the author, a wicked man. At the end of November, the second volume of "FateZero" was released, and the combat intensity of this volume was suddenly increased compared to the slightly bland character appearances and stage introductions of the first volume. Saber, who has a very poor relationship with the main guard palace Kiritsugu, and the hostess Alice Phil take to the big stage of the Holy Grail War to meet the challenges of all sides. At the same time, Yan Feng Qili, who was seen through and seduced by Gilgamesh, also began to move secretly, chasing unknown things that ordinary people could not understand.

Of course, the increase in the intensity of the battle is also the result of Jiang Yu's deliberate efforts. The big scenes that the original work lacked, and the fact that it was more like a battle that followed a certain pattern or script than war, Jiang Yu took the initiative to change when he wrote the book.

After the second volume of "FateZero" was released, stupid netizens first performed a real fragrance, and then began to howl miserably under Baili Tusu's Twitter - "So, what about 'Spring Things'?" "My posthumous author really has a problem", "After writing for a year and six months, tears fell", "Please write 'Spring Things'" (8)! Please, please, please!".

Interestingly, these memes were more of a playful nature than a reminder of the nature of the message, and soon they were covered by another wave of popularity.

At 0:00 on December 5, "Jianghe Software" announced that on February 20 next year, the company's self-developed new 3A-level work "DarkSouls" will be logged in on all platforms, supporting most mainstream languages in the world, including Chinese, Spanish, French, etc., and has been opened for pre-sale, divided into two grades: standard version and gold version.

"DarkSouls" translates to "Dark Souls". The official promotional label given by "Jianghe Software" is "ACT", "suffering", and "cultivation".

…… The last label is what I think of as "cultivation", right? It's the "development" of "character development", right?!

If it's just a long-developed 3A masterpiece release, it won't make the reminder message under Baili Tusu's Twitter die down. The key point is that the first promotional video released by "Jianghe Software" not only promoted the ruined, lifeless, and cruel world in the game, but also played the list of the main production team of the game at the end.

In this list, there are lines of "Planning: Baili Tusu" and "Deputy Superintendent: Baili Tusu".

This is the biggest reason why Jiang Yu's Twitter comments are turning the direction of the offensive.

Most of the fans or passers-by who left messages were to confirm whether the "Baili Tusu" on the list was the same person as the one they knew. And after Jiang Yu simply admitted it, the direction of the comments suddenly changed, and the previous reminders turned into apologies, such as "It turns out that we have been wrong to blame you all along!" Words of this kind.

And just as winter COMI was approaching, Iori took the opportunity to take advantage of this wave of public opinion, and put the main direction of publicity on "the game produced by Baili Tusu, who was the planner and deputy supervisor of "Dark Souls". Although this seems to be a little unfair to Lunye, Going to Sea and others who have obviously put more effort and effort into this game, but how the publicity is originally eye-catching, everyone does not feel resentful.

It's better to say that although Jiang Yu confessed that he had written a plan for his father's company and passed it by luck, they didn't expect it to be a triple-A masterpiece. Therefore, long before Jiang Yu responded to the questions of many fans and passers-by on Twitter, he had already dealt with his group of friends and partners who suddenly turned into curious babies.

After Jiang Yu dealt with this turmoil, when he called his father Jiang He to question - generally this kind of first publicity PV, at most at the end of the LOGO of a development company - was just beaten by him haha, and he was fooled at will in a few words.

was suddenly forcibly pulled into the spotlight, and after a short period of discomfort in the early stage, Jiang Yu soon returned to his normal rhythm of life.

I attended classes and prepared for the final exam, sorted out the syllabus of "Ice Confectionery" and "FateZero", wrote and deleted the thirteenth volume of "Spring Things", continued to promote the "Valhalla Completion Plan", and the final testing, error correction and optimization of "The Promise under the Blue Sky......

At the end of the month, on the occasion of New Year's Eve, this year's winter COMI kicked off as scheduled.

After a long absence, everyone in the club gathered and appeared at the sales site.

Thinking about it, after coming to this world, Jiang Yu has to come to this international exhibition center twice a year, as if it is some inevitable event. Actually, it's not that there is nothing else to do, but who made this group of friends around him, most of them otaku who are interested in these things? Even if the limited number of people who are not otaku, most of them think that even if they are not interested, it is good to accompany them to shop.

But speaking of which...... Don't you really have to spend time with your family during the Chinese New Year?

It's probably because it's finally grown up from a small fandom.,This winter's COMI,"SimplePlanSoftware" not only got a big territory.,It's also a good location.。 On the other hand, there are several times more corrugated boxes in the corners than before.

Since "The Promise Under the Blue Sky" is the first commercial work of the club, not only has the price increased several times compared with the previous work, but the gifts given on the spot also include things other than the original painting hanging scroll and colored paper.

This year, Shi Yu did not participate in Winter COMI, even if Jiang Yu and others invited her before, she also refused. Although Yingli Li sells works, it is the same as before, and the stalls are taken care of by her parents.

It is worth mentioning that before the opening, Lun also went to Zecun's house to say hello, which made everyone in the club laugh tacitly. Well...... Except for going to sea. But that's probably just the pure sense of resistance with Ying Lili that has affected it now, right?

And the one who is the most uplifting is Lunye's true childhood sweetheart, Miss Michiru. If this scene is seen by a few people in "icytail", I'm afraid it's another rhetorical education against Michiru.

Soon after, the opening announcement was announced. Jiang Yu and the others experienced the enthusiastic baptism of fans and players for several hours, and finally looked at the cardboard that was turned into corrugated boxes and tied together, even if it was not the first time to experience this kind of thing, they couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.

This is probably the greatest consolation for the creator after a busy year, in addition to the clear and clear numbers afterwards.

Since everyone had discussed that they planned to celebrate the New Year at least at home this year, the celebration banquet was held in the afternoon. Late lunches are always tempting because of hunger, and between high-pitched discussions and cups, a table full of delicious food turns into a mess.

Although a few people who have reached the drinking age have ordered a bar, they haven't actually taken a few sips, but have been drunk by a few girls who have not reached the legal drinking age.

So, in the midst of the mess, a few people who borrowed the strength of the wine caused a lot of chickens and dogs. In the end, Iori went out to sea with a blushing face and muttering that he didn't know what he was talking about, and said goodbye to everyone and left first. Lun also helped and instigated a few little girls to drink, and he also drank a drunken culprit Michiliu and left.

Jiang Yu looked at Xiao Bury and Bai Shi Huannai, who were already asleep, and had a headache, and finally asked Hui to help Bai Shi, carry Xiao Bury on his back, and go home on the main road outside.

After returning home and settling the two sleeping girls in the room, Jiang Yu collapsed in the living room all of a sudden, staring blankly at the ceiling, only feeling that he didn't want to move a finger.

Megumi wiped their faces with a hot towel before taking her leave. Jiang Yu also knew that his girlfriend was going home for a reunion, and he didn't keep it, but just said "Say hello to my uncle and aunt for me", and waved his hand as a farewell.

The sound of the door closing and the locks closing into each other at the entrance fell silent. Jiang Yu was in a daze, and then began to feel his eyelids gradually become heavier, and finally curled up on the sofa in a daze and fell asleep.

Not long after, he was woken up by the rattle of knives on the board while cooking. Trying to open his eyes, Jiang Yu just wanted to get up, but found that he was covered with a thick blanket at some point. He turned his head sideways to look at the kitchen, and what he didn't expect and made sense was Megumi's figure in an apron.

He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he didn't seem to have much to say.

So in the end, he just got up and folded the blanket, and after washing his face, he said, "I'll help," and got busy with Megumi.

Megumi didn't say anything, and even moved around her small area from beginning to end. But the strange thing is that when Jiang Yu walked into the kitchen, he didn't feel constrained at all.

By the time Xiao Buri and Shiraishi Huanna were dizzy and dry-mouthed, they crawled out of bed to find water to drink, and a table of ordinary home-cooked food was ready.

Holding a mug and drinking a few sips of the cold water that Megumi had prepared, Kanna Shiraishi, who had come to her senses, suddenly blushed and hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.

Jiang Yu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, Hui glared at him with disgust, pulled Shiraishi Huannai, led her to the dining table to sit down, and said softly, "Don't worry about this, Huannai." Let's have dinner first, and then let your unreliable senior send you back. ”

Jiang Yu immediately retorted: "Where am I unreliable? ”

Xiao Bury covered his mouth and snickered, his sly eyes turned around, as if he was thinking about how to continue to damage his brother according to Megumi's words.

As if he had discovered this sign, Jiang Yu immediately changed his words: "Cough! Let's eat first! Baishi, you contact your family first, and I'll send you to your door after dinner, so as to prevent your family from worrying. ”

"Then ......" Shiraishi Kanna hesitated for a while, looked at Jiang Yu, and then looked at Xiao Bury with an expectant face on the side and Megumi who was smiling gently, and finally nodded, "Then bother." ”

"Oh~~!" Xiao Bury cheered and sat down next to Shiraishi Huannai, "Xiao Huannai, let me tell you, the dishes made by Sister Hui are delicious!" Although my brother's cooking is also delicious, sure enough, it is still made by Sister Hui that suits my taste......"

Jiang Yu silently threatened his own sister who was going to damage him at this time with his eyes, but it had no effect. In the end, I could only sit down on the other side of the table and pick up the dishes and chopsticks.

After a happy dinner, the unhappy Shiraishi Kanna took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes, but was blocked by Megumi's light "How can there be a reason for the guests to do things", and Megumi also gave Jiang Yu a look.

Jiang Yu, who understood the meaning of his girlfriend, immediately stood up and said, "It's not too early, I'll send you back Baishi first, right?" If it's a little later, I'm afraid that not only me, but you will also be blamed by your uncle and aunt. ”

Shiraishi Huanna had nothing to do, but when he agreed, his face looked a little strange, and he muttered in a low voice: "My parents won't blame you." ”

Half an hour later, Jiang Yu and Shiraishi Huanna walked one after the other, and suddenly, Shiraishi Huanna exclaimed, as if he had suddenly figured out something.

Jiang Yu stopped when he heard the sound, turned around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong, Baishi?" ”

Baishi Huannai's pair of sparkling eyes stared directly at Jiang Yu, and said in a faint tone: "I suddenly figured out just now, Senior Sister Hui said that she couldn't let the guests do things, but she was doing it herself, that is to say, she was not an outsider at all in that family?" ”

Jiang Yu was stunned by this question, and after a moment of silence, he coughed, and said lightly: "Well...... That's it. ”

Shiraishi Kanna's cheeks puffed out slightly, her eyes were full of seriousness, but she suddenly sneered, and she couldn't straighten up with a smile. After she recovered, Fang Cai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just remembering that I used to think that my predecessors were difficult to handle emotionally?" The result was surprisingly decisive. ”

Jiang Yu looked at his junior sister speechlessly. He may, and still can't figure out what the other party really thinks, and he can't tell whether the words that come out of the other party's mouth are jokes or serious.

Shiraishi Huanna jumped a distance beyond Jiang Yu, then turned around, waved at Jiang Yu and shouted, "Just send it here, senior!" Had a great day! Club activities are also very fun! Bye~Bye~! ”

Then, the girl, with her trendy hairstyle like an idol, gradually walked away in the dim light of the street lamp.

Jiang Yu squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the back, only to feel that it seemed relaxed and free.
