"To all members of the community,

Yours sincerely, omitted.

Because I have to go to the "Red Zhu Project" to help out a little bit and negotiate with "Marz", I am afraid that I will not be able to show up in the club normally in the next half a month to a month.

The script is expected to be completed by the end of this month, and at that time it will be a hassle for the producers and supervisors to review and correct errors. Of course, representatives can also make comments, but I don't necessarily take them.

The progress of the original painting was carried out by the two painters according to the arrangement, and there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to have a psychological burden.

When it comes to music, the person in charge always has her own pace, so please communicate with the supervisor and the representative if you can.

Finally, even if the game is finished before I come back, I'll check the quality of the game, so please don't slack off. At the same time, take care of your body.

Sincerely.

Jiang Yu"

After checking the email from beginning to end, Jiang Yu muttered, "Isn't this too formal?" The email was then sent out to everyone in the community.

After doing this, Jiang Yu looked at the train timetable and greeted a certain adult woman who was dozing off in the waiting seat to get on the tram.

By the way, the current location is Shinkansen Tokyo Station, and the time is 10 am on Saturday.

That is, the day after talking with Megumi Kato, the day after making a decision.

The destination of the trip is the headquarters of Marz Osaka, the development department of the "Global Chronicle".

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, on the return tram.

Jiang Yu ripped open the collar of his suit, took off the flat glasses used to add a bit of mature taste, hung them on his coat pocket casually, and poured a large gulp of the drink he had just bought from the vending machine in the station without hesitation.

Next to him, Machida Enko looked at the young man quietly with a little amazement and appreciation. After he seemed to be relieved, she spoke: "I didn't expect you to argue like that, a little bit of the shadow of those celebrities I once saw?" ”

"Hah...... Is it? Jiang Yu tightened the cap of the bottle and exhaled deeply and tiredly, "Maybe it's because I've seen all kinds of people here...... Right? All in all, it's great to be able to get them to buy in and change the development plan today. ”

He was able to stick to his bottom line and fight for reason at today's meeting, perhaps because of the one or two "Dark Souls" meetings he had participated in on the side of "Jianghe Software". At that time, the chief designer of the game was calm and ruthless, and he was really impressed.

"yes." Speaking of this, Machida Enko, who felt that she had achieved her goal today, looked a lot more relaxed, "The deadline for the original art and script on our side can be extended by three weeks, which can be regarded as a preliminary victory condition, right?" ”

"Haha...... Although I was forced to agree to a lot of things......" Jiang Yu pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a slightly tired, weak, but satisfied smile, "However, in this way, things can be carried out according to Miss Akasaka's idea." I was able to make that work really step on the altar. ”

Hearing this, Machida Enko's expression became serious, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke: "Although I think it would be strange to ask you this question now, can you tell me, why did you agree to Akane's proposal?" ”

She didn't have much contact with Jiang Yu before, and before today's meeting, her impression of him was at most a "talented young man". But after today, she was stunned to find that the overly young man she saw when she first saw her seemed to have quietly transformed her talent into ability at some point.

Thinking of the figure at the meeting, faced with many demands and accusations, as well as many sentences such as "impossible" and "there is no reason for us to accept such conditions", from a little restrained and nervous at the beginning, it gradually became calm, eloquent, and arguing, Machida Enko's eyes couldn't help but soften.

Thank you, really, for your hard work......

Hearing this question, Jiang Yu's expression was stunned, and then he showed a slightly helpless, even slightly self-deprecating smile, and said calmly: "As a friend and fan, I can't let the hard work of Senior Sister Shiyu, Sawamura, and even Miss Akasaka go to waste; As a creator, I can't just watch a work that should have climbed to a higher peak stay at the top of this mountain because of the fact that we are going to settle for each other. ”

Machida Enko nodded thoughtfully, and then an irrepressible curiosity suddenly surged up in her heart, and she asked with some evil eyes, "That's it." I would venture to ask, what is the ratio between the two? ”

"Huh......" Jiang Yu lowered his head, looked at his overly formal and mature outfit, and smiled, "At most, it's 37, maybe even 28 or even 19." ”

"I didn't come to help because the artist and script writer happened to be my friend, but if I gave Miss Akasaka a little more time, maybe a more suitable person could be found."

Speaking words that were too real and cruel for a young man who should have more naivety and fantasy in this world, Jiang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and even his tone was not the slightest excitement or obscurity.

It was as if he were telling something that was an unshakable truth to him.

"I will do this, most of the reasons, because of myself, unwilling, unwilling, unwilling."

Looking at Jiang Yu's overly calm and overly taken for granted expression, Machida Yuanzi exhaled softly.

Ah, sure enough, this kid...... No, this young man is the same kind of person as Akane.

She once again consolidated the knowledge that Akasaka Zhuyin implanted in her heart yesterday in the hospital room.

But is such an idea correct?

A new question has emerged in Machida Enko's mind - until now, she does not think that Akasaka Zhuyin's way of survival is worth advocating and learning.

That kind of madness, even if it can create a lot of splendor, will only lead to destruction in the end.

But the way the person in front of him survives...... It seems to be faintly different from Akane?

Machida Enko can't tell the difference between the two, and even the feeling is very vague and uncertain. So she quickly gave up thinking about it and thought about it instead of thinking about a question that she was also interested in.

Speaking of which, this teenager should not have had too much contact with the dark side of the industry, and he is also a light writer who should have more fantasy and romantic factors, why is this kind of thing so commonplace?

But when she thought of the book, which has many essential elements, but whose own ideological core is closer to traditional literature—of course, the dimension and profundity of such ideas are too shallow compared to traditional literature—she feels a little self-justifying.

Probably, this person is an outlier among light writers.

The continuous thinking made Machida Ako's already tired body even more sleepy, so she leaned back in her chair and gradually blurred her consciousness as the train moved smoothly.

In a trance, she seemed to see the teenager sitting next to her, taking out the computer from his bag, setting up the support frame, turning on the power, and seemed to have to work.

Really...... Busy......

After this thought flashed through her mind, Machida Enko's consciousness tended to be chaotic.

……

At ten o'clock that night, Shiyu and Yingli Lili, who received the contact, came to the editorial department of the Immortal River Library, the conference hall on the second floor. Even if it was overtime, it was time to leave, but suddenly ushered in four people who should not have been here at this point in time.

Jiang Yu, who was hurrying to write the manuscript of Illya's route, raised his head after hearing the sound of the door opening, and after seeing the person who came, he ignored the surprised and stunned expressions of the two people, and said with a smile: "It's here, Senior Sister Shiyu, and Sawamura." Sit down. ”

Ying Lili couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, and opened her mouth to ask, "Hey——! I said......"

Shi Yu pressed Ying Lili's shoulder, and after stopping the other party with his eyes, he asked his own question in a cold and calm tone: "What the hell is going on, can you give us an explanation first?" Why are you here, Junior-kun? ”

Machida Enko smiled on the side and didn't plan to break the siege, Jiang Yu scratched his head, trying to keep his mind clear and his face vibrant, and replied after a moment of silence: "Because it will be troublesome to tell the specific reason, so I will only say the conclusion." I'm now a temporary member of the "Red Zhu Project", and I'm mainly in charge of the two of you and the negotiation with Marz, which means that it's the same as what Miss Akasaka Zhuyin showed in front of you before. ”

Shi Yu frowned, shook her legs a little anxiously, and asked unhappily, "So what I want to know is, why did this happen?" ”

Ying Lili also has an expression of wanting to speak and stopping. If it weren't for Shi Yu's eyes hinting at her before, "I'll leave it to me later", I'm afraid she would not hesitate to say the doubts in her heart.

Jiang Yu's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I will tell you the detailed reasons later." Now, please sit down and then we have an exchange of information about the next development plans for the Global Chronicles. ”

Shi Yu snorted lightly, stroked her hair, and insisted on knowing the answer: "Those things are good, now ...... first"

Jiang Yu's expression became slightly serious: "Please sit down first, let's discuss it first!" Affair! ”

Facing Jiang Yu, who was slightly angry, Shi Yu was stunned, and then sat down obediently under the pull of Ying Lili, who seemed to be a little frightened, but he seemed to be muttering words like "just junior".

Jiang Yu ignored these gossips, and in the amazed gaze of Machida Yuanzi, he told about the current situation of Marz's "Universal Chronicle" department.

As Akasaka Zhuyin expected, due to her sudden illness and hospitalization, Marz's side was really confused. However, the deadline for submission of materials was approaching, so according to the other party, they had "no way" or "responsible" to complete the next script corrections, CG production, and scene performances.

In addition, everything that will be completed by Marz in the future does not need to be supervised by the Red Vermilion Project. In other words, they have unilaterally fixed the development schedule for the rest of the project, so they refuse to accept any correction instructions that will disrupt the plan.

But considering that they have been fighting against the monster producer until now, and have been forced to endure each other's high-pressure language and scolding, I guess when I learned about this accident, in addition to the chaos, I probably showed a refreshing expression that the unclean things in the home had finally been expelled, right?

Well...... Of course, now is not the time to sympathize with the opponent who is currently on the opposite side, needless to say, Eiri and Shiyu, who know about this situation......

"What is this? Who would agree with this kind of self-talk? Are they all a bunch of idiots? ”

"I'm not going to accept that. If they are stubborn, and trust between them breaks down, I might do something drastic. ”

"Yes, yes! How about revealing everything a week before the release and becoming a topic of Twitter discussion? Kasumigaoka Shiha? ”

"Well, by the way, you can also leak all the original art and scripts so far on the Internet."

"Ah...... Stop, stop, stop! Jiang Yu listened to the irresponsible terrifying words of these two people, and knocked his forehead with some headaches, "Are you really planning to make this series dark?" Is it necessary for you to be so serious? ”

Then, in the two of them, "What are you going to do?" In his eyes, Jiang Yu exhaled a long breath and continued: "Indeed, even if the main writer of the script submits the script with a calm expression, even if the first original painting stubbornly picks and mistakes and puts all the work of the art team into waste, their behavior is not allowed. ”

"That's not too much, is it? It's all for the completion of the work, for the harmony and peace of each other! ”

In the face of Ying Lili's shouting, Jiang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand slightly to suppress it, signaling the other party to be quiet, before continuing: "It is precisely to stop this behavior of the other party that I will go to Osaka today to negotiate with Marz. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a thick stack of A4 paper from the paper bag on the table, with brightly colored sticky notes of different colors pasted on it. In addition, there are various footnotes written with pens of various colors in the places where the sticky notes are pasted.

"This is a souvenir for Senior Sister Shiyu, please correct this part within a day tomorrow."

Shi Yu looked at this stack of manuscripts in silence, and Ying Lili felt the silent atmosphere in the conference room, and the ridicule words that she wanted to say were swallowed back.

Jiang Yu tapped the smooth table with his knuckles, and Chong Shiyu showed a slightly apologetic smile: "I can't fight like Miss Akasaka Zhuyin, so the things that need to be corrected in this manuscript are the result of my consultation with the person in charge of the Marz side." ”

He said it extremely lightly, but in the eyes of Machida Enko, who witnessed the specific process, it was a thrilling tug-of-war that could not be more tired and careful in the eyes of insiders.
