Everyone, including the executive committee of the Takarazuka Opera Company, looked at Hideki Hanyu and Hitomi Kuroki with surprise on his face and tears in his eyes.

Their eyes were shocked, confused, envious, jealous......

Takarazuka chief maiden performed for the first time, and the relationship was exposed?

Some people's first reaction was, Hitomi Kuroki didn't refuse, didn't you want a career?

But when you think about it, your boyfriend is a well-known writer, a wealthy man, and a big boss of an entertainment club.

The position of Takarazuka's chief maiden can be so important?

Not far away, Mao Dadi looked at his friend's makeup and cried, and couldn't help but hammer his hand happily.

Although she didn't want Hitomi Kuroki to work hard for so many years, in the end, because of the relationship, she lost the opportunity to become the chief maid.

But what she is more worried about is that Hideki Hanyu has been hiding his friends behind him under various excuses and not acknowledging the relationship.

Now that my friend is the day he becomes the chief, Hideki Hanyu publicly admits his relationship, is there anything more perfect than this?

The worries about the feelings of friends have all turned into happiness at this moment.

As for whether friends will be affected by their public relationship, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Except for Hitomi Kuroki, everyone else left first, what to say and what not to say, I don't need to emphasize it, right?"

The executive committee of the Takarazuka Theater Troupe, who finally came back to his senses, gave the order, and his eyes swept over everyone coldly.

After the actors heard this, they left one by one with different expressions, and Mao Daichi did not forget to raise his fist when he left, cheering for his friend Hitomi Kuroki.

Her actions also made the crying teary-eyed Hitomi Kuroki burst into laughter.

Hanyu Hideki nodded lightly to Mao Daichi.

"Can you know when you met?"

Although the executive committee of the Takarazuka Theater Company is eager to question Hanyu Hideki fiercely, how dare you hook up with the chief maiden of our theater troupe.

But when the words came to his mouth, he naturally changed his words.

Because it's useless to question, although he is not afraid of Hanyu Hideki, but he also can't do anything about Hanyu Hideki.

Blame Hitomi Kuroki in turn?

Looking at Hitomi Kuroki's look of deep love and poison, it is estimated that the other party is also willing to hide it.

But the question is, what's the use of snow storage?

His boyfriend is a new boss in the entertainment industry.

You hide in the snow here, and as soon as the people over there pay the termination money, they will say goodbye directly.

If you don't want to be the president's wife, you can go to the entertainment world to make a living, and you can make more money than in Takarazuka.

"We've been together for a few months."

My girlfriend is still moving, and of course he has to deal with the executive committee.

Besides, when this kind of thing happens, it's not his style to shrink behind a woman.

The main thing is that he doesn't think it's a big deal.

His girlfriend wants to stay in Takarazuka again, so he will find a way to solve the problem.

His girlfriend doesn't want to stay anymore, so he will pay to terminate the contract, and it's a big deal to go back to the entertainment industry to develop.

"Hey." The executive committee sighed.

"I'll suppress this matter for the time being, Kuroki Sangling thinks about it, and what are you going to do next."

Speaking of this, the executive committee member politely said to Hideki Hanyu, "We will not embarrass Kuroki-san, and I hope that President Hanyu will cooperate with our work at Takarazuka." ”

"I will." Hideki Hanyu is somewhat at a loss.

Although it is said that love is free, the chief maid who has spent years cultivating by others was directly picked up by him on the day of the premiere, which is somewhat inappropriate.

If this is a girl idol who has been cultivated by his own office for several years, as soon as he debuts and becomes popular, a kid jumps out and announces his relationship, and he is not expected to be in a good mood.

"Then I'll take my leave." The executive committee member left.

"Go and remove your makeup, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for you first."

Hideki Hanyu said to Hitomi Kuroki, who was crying with all her makeup.

Who would have thought that Hitomi Kuroki had just experienced the plot of 'Prince Charming admitting Cinderella', and this would be moving, and he would be reluctant to hold his arm.

"No, I'm going back to the hotel with you."

Hideki Hanyu explained, "I was discovered by a reporter when I came just now, and there is a good chance that there are reporters guarding outside, so if you don't mind, we will go back together." ”

Hideki Hanyu's words calmed down Hitomi Kuroki a little.

Although the executive committee didn't explain it just now, she understood the meaning.

What happened just now, the executive committee can suppress it, even if there is gossip, as long as Takarazuka and her do not admit it publicly, it has nothing to do with it.

She can continue to do the position of the chief maiden of the monthly group.

But once she chooses to go public, according to Takarazuka's tradition, although falling in love will not make her quit the group, the chief will definitely not be able to be the chief.

Because although Takarazuka is an opera company, to put it bluntly, it is to provide supporters with a cultivation dream.

Watch the actors you support, grow little by little from school, and eventually become the chief, acting out their fantasy stories.

So as long as the relationship is made public, it will destroy the fans' sense of substitution for the opera performance.

And Hanyu Hideki's words Hitomi Kuroki also understands that it is up to her to decide whether to announce the relationship and whether to leave Takarazuka or not.

Thinking about the hardships she has endured at Takarazuka School for so many years, and thinking about the hard work of the two years since joining the troupe, Hitomi Kuroki can't say anything if she wants to give up.

Hanyu Hideki saw his girlfriend's hesitation, smiled and touched his girlfriend's head, "I know Hitomi-chan still wants to stay on the stage, it's okay." ”

Hitomi Kuroki heard this, and said in a weak tone.

"Wouldn't that be unfair to Xiushujun, Xiushujun dared to admit it in front of so many people, but I was reluctant to take the stage."

"How can feelings be measured by fairness, if Hitomi-chan doesn't want to go, you can ......"

Hideki Hanyu leaned into his girlfriend's ear and whispered a few words.

When Hitomi Kuroki heard this, he immediately hammered Hideki Hanyu a few times in shame, "Why does Hideki-kun always think about these bad things." ”

"Of course, I think about it because I like Hitomi-chan."

"Hmph, ignore you."

Hitomi Kuroki said, trotting away from the stage.

But when he was about to get to the side of the stage, he suddenly turned around and said, "Xiushu-kun is waiting for me at the hotel." ”

……

On the night of drunkenness, Hideki Hanyu leaned against his hotel room and had entered the sage mode.

His girlfriend, Hitomi Kuroki, had just climbed up from below, her face was slightly red, as if she had just drunk "wine".

"When Hitomi-chan came just now, did you meet a reporter?"

From the time his girlfriend arrived in the room until now, he had the time to ask questions.

It is conceivable how fierce the battle between the two was after they met, and Hideki Hanyu somewhat regretted that he shouldn't have made that kind of scene that moved his girlfriend today.

This woman was deeply moved, and after being emotional, her combat power was not as simple as doubling.

If you don't give up, you don't give you any effort to take a breath, and you squeeze it completely.

"No, did you see it when Hideki-kun came back?" Hitomi Kuroki asked, hugging her boyfriend tightly.

"I saw it, and followed me all the way back to the hotel, it seems that I am going to change places, be careful when you leave tomorrow."

"yes, I see."

"Has Hitomi-chan thought about it?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Hitomi Kuroki heard this and knew what Hideki Hanyu was asking.

She told Hanyu Hideki seriously, "I told the executive committee that I will stay in Takarazuka for the time being, and Hideki-kun is not disappointed." ”

Hanyu Hideki is not surprised, and the fact that he did not return to the hotel with him before proves that Hitomi Kuroki is still reluctant to Takarazuka.

After all, after so many years of struggle, how can you give up easily.

However, Hideki Hanyu deliberately said, "Of course I'm disappointed." ”

"Huh?"

Hitomi Kuroki immediately sat up a little out of shape, looking at her boyfriend a little bewildered.

She thought her boyfriend was really disappointed that she didn't choose to go public.

As a result, when she got up, she saw that Hideki Hanyu was looking at her with a smile, knowing that her boyfriend was deliberately teasing her.

She glared at Hideki Hanyu with some annoyance, "Hideki-kun......"

How could Hideki Hanyu be stumped by such a small scene, and said with a sigh.

"If Hitomi-chan doesn't leave Takarazuka, there's no way to accompany me every day."

Sure enough, Hitomi Kuroki heard this, and immediately comforted him softly.

"I also want to accompany Hideki-kun, and I'll go to Tokyo often when I have time in the future."

"Going to Tokyo a lot? I heard Daichi-san say that the last time I went to Tokyo to take care of me, Hitomi-chan swiped her credit card to buy a plane ticket, and I ended up eating instant noodles for a whole month. ”

Hanyu Hideki was really worried that if this stupid girl went to Tokyo often, that little salary would not be enough to buy a plane ticket.

"I've been promoted to chief now, and I'm getting paid more than before." Hitomi Kuroki was not convinced.

"Okay, I still know Takarazuka's salary, and it's good to be able to support your daily consumption."

Hanyu said, leaning over to take his wallet from the cabinet next to the bed, and took out a card from it and handed it to Hitomi Kuroki.

"It's a secondary card to my credit card, and Hitomi-chan can use it to get a discount on ANA tickets, and I also get free flights every year."

"I don't want it." Hitomi Kuroki turned her head and didn't answer the card.

"If you don't want to, then I'll give it to another girl, Saori-chan is about to have a birthday, so it's a gift for her."

Hanyu said deliberately, ready to take the card back.

Hitomi Kuroki immediately became anxious when she heard this, grabbed Hanyu Hideki's hand and asked, "Who is Saori-chan?" ”

"You know she's a cute girl just by the name, and she's always listened to me."

Hanyu Hideki looks like you're disobedient, so I'll look for an obedient girl.

Hitomi Kuroki was about to say something, when she suddenly saw her boyfriend's playful expression, and immediately reacted that Hideki Hanyu was teasing her.

"Xiushu-kun knows how to lie to me."

"I didn't lie to you, if you don't want it, I'll really use it to buy a gift for Saori-chan."

Hanyu Hideki's expression suddenly became serious again, "Saori-chan won't be like you, don't listen to me. ”

No matter how smart a woman is, she is always blind when she falls in love, and Hanyu Hideki's sudden seriousness makes Hitomi Kuroki involuntarily nervous.

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's joke and serious routine, Hitomi Kuroki seemed to want to prove that she was more obedient than Saori-chan, so she involuntarily took the card before asking carefully.

"Who the hell is Saori-chan?"

Seeing Hitomi Kuroki take the card, Hideki Hanyu smiled again.

"Asako-san's daughter, who is about to celebrate her fourth birthday, likes to read the picture books I draw the most, and listens to me better than Asako-san."

"Huh?" Hitomi Kuroki immediately understood that she had been tricked by Hideki Hanyu.

I grabbed the card and wanted to return it to Hideki Hanyu.

How could Hanyu Hideki let Hitomi Kuroki get his wish, and took him into his arms.

"This is my love for Hitomi-chan, is Hitomi-chan going to reject my love?"

"But ......"

Of course, Hitomi Kuroki didn't want to refuse Hideki Hanyu's love, but she always felt that spending Hideki Hanyu's money directly felt like being raised.

"It's nothing.,I've already given you the card anyway.,Saori-chan's birthday gift will be handed over to Hitomi-chan to choose.,It's a headache to pick a birthday gift for everyone every year.。

Hideki Hanyu immediately changed his concept and gave Hitomi Kuroki a task to dilute the other party's psychological discomfort of using his card.

This thing is the same as giving each other a gift, as long as you start it, it will be much easier to do later.

Of course, there is a final sentence to add.

"And no one has ever used my secondary card except Hitomi-chan."

"Really? The former pine ...... Isn't there either? ”

Hitomi Kuroki felt very happy when she heard Hideki Hanyu's words, but she wanted to confirm it again.

She wanted to ask Keiko Matsusaka, but she was afraid that Hideki Hanyu would be unhappy.

"Of course, this is the first time I've given a secondary card to my beloved."

When Hideki Hanyu talks about his beloved, he puts it very seriously.

"Xiushu-kun, I love you......"

The girlfriend was moved by this love words, and her eyes were hazy, so she leaned in, and her hand also touched Hanyu Hideki.

"Hey! Just talk, don't do it. ”

Hideki Hanyu was taken aback, indicating that he was still returning to the blue.

"I want Hideki-kun." The emotional woman can manage too much, and forcibly help Hanyu Hideki start.

"Oops......"

……

Takarazuka actor's apartment, Hitomi Kuroki's room.

Hitomi Kuroki sat in a chair and watched her friend Mao Daichi take the black credit card her boyfriend gave her, looking up and down carefully.

"The black card is so high-end."

Daichi Mao looked at Hitomi Kuroki curiously, "The great writer didn't say what the quota was?" ”

"I don't know, Xiushujun said that you can get a discount if you buy an ANA ticket, and there are several free flights every year."

"Can I fly for free, Premium Class?"

"I guess so."

"It's so powerful, I'm a little curious about what its quota is, let's go to the phone booth to check."

Mao Daichi said, pulling Hitomi Kuroki and rushing towards the phone booth outside the apartment.

Hitomi Kuroki didn't want to go, but she was dragged by her friend and came all the way to the phone booth.

Waiting for the customer in front of him to finish calling, Mao Dadi immediately entered the phone booth excitedly, and then dialed the service number on the credit card to Dongyang Sogo Bank.

The customer service lady over there immediately became extremely gentle when she heard Hitomi Kuroki report the credit card registration information given by Hideki Hanyu.

After all, it is a credit card of a large customer who owes more than 10 billion in debt, of course, you have to be serious.

"Dear Miss Customer, what services do you need from me?"

"I want to check the maximum amount of use on this card."

"Okay, please wait."

After a moment, the voice of the customer service came again.

"Since your card is only an additional card, you can only use it for 5 million yen per month."

"What!"

Hitomi Kuroki couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she heard that it was five million a month.

Five million a month? Or only?

And Hitomi Kuroki, who also put her ear next to the earpiece, was also a little surprised.

"Dear customer, if you are not satisfied with your credit limit, you can ......"

"No, I'm satisfied, sorry to bother, goodbye."

Mao Daichi didn't wait for the customer service to finish speaking, and hung up the phone directly after apologetically.

Mao Daichi looked at the small black card in his hand in disbelief.

Five million yen a month, what is the concept.

The two months add up to more than her salary in Takarazuka for a year.

And she, as the chief of the men's service, is already the highest-paid actor in Takarazuka, and she doesn't know how much better than ordinary office workers.

Nowadays, neon ordinary office workers, who have been busy for a year, are not as high as the monthly limit of this card.

I've been trying to save money for several years, but I guess I won't be able to save 5 million yen.

She heard Hitomi Kuroki say that Hideki Hanyu gave this card to Hitomi Kuroki to buy a plane ticket.

I thought that a few hundred thousand yen would be a lot.

After all, the Takarazuka Opera Troupe is a big user of credit cards, and many members are swiping credit cards for the sake of a superficial life.

She had ever heard of a card with the highest limit, which was only 1 million yen.

The member of the group who held the card didn't miss the card to show off.

So what is the current 5 million yen a month?

Five million yen a month!

Isn't that 60 million yen a year?

How do you feel that the bank customer service just now was still a little embarrassed when he talked about this number?

Hitomi Kuroki's writer boyfriend, are you sure you gave this card for a flight? The occasional charter flight is enough.

Looking at her friend Hitomi Kuroki, who was also surprised, Mao Daichi asked as if he was joking.

"Hitomi-chan, can you ask Hanyu-sensei if he lacks a lover, I only need half of this amount."

Hitomi Kuroki, who was still in shock just now, heard this, and glared at his friend angrily, "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

"Hitomi-chan, I only knew that your boyfriend was rich before, but today I know how rich he is."

After speaking, he returned the card in his hand to Hitomi Kuroki, "Okay, the card is collected, as a friend, I am a little moved, in case it is known by others, I'm afraid that someone will strip naked tonight and go to the hotel to find Hanyu Sensei." ”

"It's not such an exaggeration." Hitomi Kuroki carefully put away the card and said in disbelief.

"Exaggerated? Sixty million yen a year, this figure is said, and a woman who is willing to be a lover for Hanyu-sensei can line up from Takarazuka City to Kobe Prefecture. ”

Daichi Mao said with emotion, "Hitomi-chan, you should have quit the group yesterday." ”

"What?" Hitomi Kuroki didn't know what her friend was asking, and suddenly talked about it.

"Such a man, handsome and rich, if I don't worry about leaving him alone in Tokyo, there is a real world of flowers, and he is also a big boss in the entertainment industry."

"I believe in Hideki-kun." Hitomi Kuroki's tone was firm.

"I also believe in Hanyu-sensei, but the problem is that I don't believe in those women in the entertainment world, do you know how much 60 million is? It's enough for you to make it to the rich list, the singer Yazawa Nagayoshi who has a house and a pool, and that's all his annual income, and for so much money, those female artists can do everything. ”

"Really?"

Daichi Mao's words made Hitomi Kuroki's tone less firm.

"Actually, you don't need to go to Tokyo at all, didn't you notice the jealous eyes of those people in the group after Hanyu-sensei made your relationship public yesterday?"

"But even if I give up my career in Takarazuka and stay by Hideki-kun's side, can I guarantee that Hideki-kun will not change his mind?"

Hitomi Kuroki didn't wait for her friend to answer, and shook her head first.

"Xiushujun said that he likes me who pursues his dreams, so I want to be a better version of myself and love Xiushujun more, as for our relationship in the end, leave it to time to decide."

Hitomi Kuroki said, her eyes becoming firm again.

When Dadi Mao heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

She finally remembered that this friend, who had been taken care of by her, had always been more ambitious than her in her heart.

More than once, they talked about their choices after Takarazuka, saying that she might work in a musical and dance theater, and then find someone to marry, and then live an ordinary life.

But Hitomi Kuroki is always full of yearning for prosperity and yearning for a more remarkable life.

"Okay, since Hitomi-chan has decided, let's go to dinner, I'm going to eat the most expensive Kobe beef today, Hitomi-chan is a treat!"

"No problem."

Since she decided to accept it, Hitomi Kuroki would not hesitate.

Hideki Hanyu gave her the best of everything, then she gave everything to Hideki Hanyu.

After eating an expensive meal of Kobe beef, Mao Daichi, who was satisfied, looked at Hitomi Kuroki, who was going back to the apartment with her, and quipped.

"I just received such an expensive credit card from Mr. Writer, and I didn't train in the afternoon, so didn't Hitomi-chan give myself to Mr. Writer to taste?"

"What to give to Mr. Writer to taste, don't talk nonsense." Hitomi Kuroki was embarrassed to chase after her friend.

"Did I talk nonsense, Hitomi-chan herself doesn't know?" Mao Daichi continued to tease.

"Xiushujun was discovered by a reporter yesterday when he watched the performance, and there are already many reporters guarding the hotel today, he said that he wants to change the hotel, and he will notify me when he changes it."

Hitomi Kuroki explained.

"So that's the case, let's just say how Hitomi-chan can't resist not going to Mr. Writer."

……

Hideki Hanyu was busy changing hotels here, and at the same time, Osaka TV, the previous reporter's interview was about to be broadcast, but it was temporarily suppressed.

Several heads of the news department of the television station are discussing.

"Why didn't you press it down?"

"Someone over there broke the news in Takarazuka that Hideki Hanyu went to the show yesterday because the new chief maid of the Takarazuka Tsukigumi was his girlfriend."

"Have you confirmed it with the Takarazuka theater troupe?"

"Takarazuka didn't admit it, I called Tokyo, and Cloud Culture, which is in charge of Hanyu Hideki's external communications, didn't admit it either."

"It seems that we are going to suppress the news, what should we do, do we say it directly on the show?"

"This ......"

"There is no definite evidence, relying on the revelations of a few insiders, I think it is not convincing."

"Let's broadcast the interview first, for Hanyu Hideki, even if the love object is Chief Takarazuka, it's not a surprise thing."

"Unless the Chief is married."

"yes, who made us writers a merry man."

"If you can get evidence, it's still good news."

"I've sent someone to keep an eye on it, but the other party hasn't been out of the hotel for a day."

"Then keep staring."

……

The media who were still squatting in the original hotel didn't know that Hideki Hanyu had already sneaked out with the help of the original hotel and changed to a hotel at the other end of Takarazuka City.

No one here knows at all, and when Hitomi Kuroki comes to find Hideki Hanyu at night, he doesn't have to be as careful as before.

After entering the door, Hitomi Kuroki asked Hideki Hanyu, who was busy writing a plan at his desk, "Does Hideki-kun know how much credit card I have to give?" ”

"The secondary card? I don't know, it was Yada-san who helped me apply for the main card, and it was sent together. ”

Hanyu Hideki doesn't have many opportunities to use his credit card, and the repayment is all handled by Yoshihiro Yada, who never cares what the limit of his credit card is.

"It's five million yen." Hitomi Kuroki whispered.

"Five million, how is that?" Hideki Hanyu frowned.

He thought that Hitomi Kuroki was talking about a year's quota.

He thought to himself that he owed 10 billion yuan to Dongyang Sogo Bank, and Dongyang Sogo Bank would give him a black card, and the supplementary card should not have a limit of tens of millions a year.

"Hideki-kun, it's five million yen a month." Hitomi Kuroki emphasized.

"In this way, I thought it was a year, and that should be enough for Hitomi-chan flowers."

Five million is a lot, and if it was put in the past, he might have cared, but now he doesn't care too much.

Not to mention the money earned by the club, the royalty income of writers has exceeded 800 million yen just after September.

Since his debut as a picture book writer, he also plans to publish more than a dozen picture books a year.

But because other things are too busy and take up too much time, it has actually been almost two years, and he has published a total of 16 picture books.

Even so, these sixteen picture books alone bring him close to 200 million yen in royalty income every year in Neon alone.

In other words, just relying on the royalties of picture books in Neon, he can still raise two or three more beauties.

Of course, picture book writers have this kind of income, and the whole neon is his only one, after all, not everyone has so many housewife fans as him.

Otherwise, those seniors in the picture book industry would not have hyped it up and applied for a cultural medal for him.

"Xiushu-kun, don't worry, I won't spend money indiscriminately."

Hitomi Kuroki is still serious about his commitment regardless of Hideki Hanyu's attitude.

"Since the card is given to Hitomi-chan, how Hitomi-chan wants to use it is Hitomi-chan's business."

Hideki Hanyu really doesn't really care.

Now that he is still concerned about the publication of new books, he has completely entrusted the printing and signing of old picture books published before to Yunshang Culture.

It's just tens of millions a year, not hundreds of millions.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was still busy with his hands when he spoke, Hitomi Kuroki felt that her boyfriend really didn't care about the tens of millions of dollars a year on that card.

I didn't mention it anymore, but I was concerned about Hideki Hanyu's work.

"Is Hideki-kun busy?"

"It's a bit busy."

Whether it's the work plan of Elf Entertainment or the program plan of Genki Girl, Hanyu Hideki plans to get it out as soon as possible.

At least after the meeting, you can start working as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I won't bother Xiushu-kun." Hitomi Kuroki sat next to him very well-behaved.

She watched Hideki Hanyu busy, and before she knew it, her eyelids began to fight, and she fell asleep like that.

Suddenly, Hitomi Kuroki felt someone hugging her.

Slowly opened her eyes, and found that Hideki Hanyu, who didn't know when he was done, was carrying her towards the bed.

Holding her boyfriend with her backhand, Hitomi Kuroki coquettishly said, "I want Hideki-kun to sleep with me." ”

……

During the days when Hanyu Hideki was in Takarazuka City, Hitomi Kuroki found that she was busy after being promoted to chief, and her boyfriend was busier than her.

Every day, I will lie on my seat and write and draw, and I will be busy.

It wasn't until the day before returning to Tokyo that Hideki Hanyu, who was finally busy, had time to take his girlfriend away from Takarazuka and go to Kobe Prefecture for a visit.

Since there were no reporters in Kobe Prefecture, he and Hitomi Kuroki were finally able to go out for a walk.

After two days of warmth, his girlfriend returned to Takarazuka and Hideki Hanyu also returned to Tokyo and continued to devote himself to work.

On the first day of his return, as soon as he arrived at the Cloud Culture Headquarters in Shinagawa Ward, he was ridiculed by Eri Kitahara.

"President Hanyu, the Kansai media have been calling Tokyo for verification, but there have been a lot of tabloid reports lately that you are in a relationship with Takarazuka's maiden, are you going to make it public?"

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knew about these reports, but there were actually more reports from the Kansai side.

"No, if it's made public, Hitomi-chan will definitely have to quit the group, so let's do it for the time being."

Even Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu doesn't want to talk much about his love life.

Again, he is a writer, not an idol, and has no responsibility to confess his love affair to the public.

"How's the HAL Institute acquisition going?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

When he left, he handed over the matter of contacting the HAL Research Institute to Tetsuya Aragaki and the acquisition decision to Eri Kitahara.

"That Tanimura Masahito was reluctant to sell his studio at first, but when we opened the price to 30 million, he was a little tempted."

After Eri Kitahara finished speaking, he asked very incomprehensibly.

"Such a small studio, although it has a bit of R&D capabilities, but apart from a few game patents, there is nothing valuable at all, why did Hanyu-san buy it."

"What we lack now is R&D capabilities, and since we have found the right one, we can buy it and it's not expensive anyway."

30 million, that is, the expenses he spent on his girlfriend for half a year, bought the future head of Nintendo, it was a good profit.

Even if it doubles again, it will be worth it in his opinion.

"It's a quick decision, it doesn't matter if you give more money, I've already arranged the next stage of the work plan for Elf Entertainment, and I still need Aragaki Sang to come back to preside, so I don't have time to waste."

Hideki Hanyu emphasized.

"I see, can I take a look at Hanyu-san's plan?" Eri Kitahara asked.

"Yes." Hideki Hanyu handed the plan he had written to Eiri Kitahara.

Eri Kitahara took over the plan and only flipped through a few pages, then looked at Hideki Hanyu in shock.

"Hanyu-san wants to enter the hardware market!"

It's no wonder that Eri Kitahara was shocked, knowing that the hardware field requires longer R&D time, more R&D funds, and broader sales channels than game development.

At the current scale of Elf Entertainment, game development is still learning and exercising, and it is definitely a thankless thing to rashly involve the hardware field.

"Eri Kitahara, if you look closely, I'm not going to be a game console."

Hideki Hanyu didn't explain, but asked Eri Kitahara to take a closer look.

"たまごオッチ, pet watch? What is it? ”

Megumi Kitahara conceived the product that Hideki Hanyu wanted to do, and she didn't understand what Hideki Hanyu was going to do.

"You can call it Tuoma Gezi, an electronic pet device, the device will randomly hatch an electronic pet, and then the owner needs to feed, shovel, bathe, play games with it, that is, keep a pet on the electronic device."

"Is there a market for this?" Eri Kitahara was confused by Hideki Hanyu's novelty idea.

I don't know why I don't want to get a real pet and go for an electronic pet.

"Because it's easier to have an electronic pet, you can do it anytime, anywhere, and you won't be as sad as a real pet if you fail to feed......

Hideki Hanyu explains to Eiri Kitahara the benefits of a bunch of electronic pets.

The idea of his Takuma Gezi electronic pet comes from the super product that saves Bandai.

In the mid-to-late nineties, Bandai, which was about to go bankrupt, was stunned to come back to life with the electronic pet of Tuoma Gezi.

The humble version of the ancestor of Tuoma Gezi has sold more than 40 million units in Neon in two years, and the cumulative sales volume worldwide is 80 million.

The electronic pet craze swept the world in a flash, generating huge profits for Bandai.

He is interested in entering the hardware market, but Sega and Nintendo's home consoles are already on the way.

Genie Entertainment now has no technology, no channels, and no time.

The electronic pet is a product with low cost, simple research, and high user stickiness, which can help Elf Entertainment quickly open sales channels while making profits quickly.

As long as the follow-up game software keeps up, Hideki Hanyu will have a chance to overtake in corners.

"But even for this small thing, our current R&D capabilities are limited."

Eri Kitahara voiced his doubts.

Hanyu said, "Don't worry, I'm prepared." ”

After saying that, he took out a strange watch and handed it to Eri Kitahara.

"Casio's electronic watch?"

Eri Kitahara took the watch and saw that Casio's name was on it.

However, this electronic watch looks a little strange, the dial is much larger than the average electronic watch, and there is a steering wheel pattern underneath.

"This is Casio's video game watch, I have asked Yada-san to investigate, due to the failure of this game watch in the competition with Nintendo GW handhelds, Casio has recently begun to lay off R&D personnel."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu's words came out, how could Eri Kitahara not understand the meaning, "Hanyu-san intends to sign this batch of people who have been laid off. ”

"It's not a plan, I'm already doing it, and I've been in contact with those people since Yada-san helped me buy this land, and now it's almost done."

How could Hideki Hanyu fight a battle that he was not sure of.

He didn't stop at the idea of the R&D personnel in Western Europe.

Sega's handheld GAG was also defeated by Nintendo, and it is also laying off employees.

Hanyu Hideki took advantage of Nakayama's attention to North America, but recently he has been digging into Sega's corner.

It's just that the stakes are very important, and he only leaves it to Yoshihiro Yada for the time being, and he doesn't plan to say it until he succeeds.

"Hanyu-san asked Aragaki-san to hurry up and finish the acquisition of the HAL Research Institute, is it just to take over these people?"

Eri Kitahara seemed to understand something.

"That's right." Hideki Hanyu nodded.

In addition to good programming skills, Tetsuya Aragaki also has a deep attainment in hardware, which is the most suitable for presiding over the development of Takuma Utako.

Of course, Satoshi Iwata, the future head of Nintendo, is also a leader who is proficient in both hardware and software.

The completion of the acquisition coincided with the two of them learning and progressing together, and in terms of technology and management in the future, he would not need to consider the talents who would dominate the overall situation for decades.

And in addition to Tuoma Gezi, he also needs a reserve game IP for a rainy day.

The trio of Yuji Horii, who made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, is just one of them.

HAL's R&D personnel, as well as the original R&D department of Elf Entertainment, he needs to make use of them.

Sega later failed to work with Nintendo, and in addition to its own decision-making mistakes, the fact that there was almost no third party to provide games was also a big reason.

He is powerless to stop the Nintendo FC console, but he can still do it by preempting the game in advance.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu took out another plan and handed it to Eri Kitahara, "This is my arrangement for Cloud Culture. ”

Eri Kitahara took the plan, read it carefully, and then the surprised expression on his face was even more exaggerated than the hardware involved in Elf Entertainment.

"Hanyu-san's courage is really big!" Eri Kitahara sighed.

"The end goal is a bit exaggerated, but let's start with the first step."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he pointed to the document, "The game promotion magazine, which can help build the theme culture of Takuma Geko, will be published in the form of a monthly magazine for the time being." ”

In the previous life, Bandai sold Takuma Gezi, which could have created higher sales.

As a result, because it did not create a good and healthy theme culture, it was criticized by the neon public as an electronic drug that poisoned elementary school students, and then had to move overseas.

Later, in the second generation, although a series of peripherals such as comics and animations were launched with electronic pets, it is a pity that the peak of sales has passed.

He launched this magazine to assist in the promotion of Tuoma Gezi's electronic pets, in addition to game guides, pet introductions, and will also come with the Tuoma Geko comics he prepared.

As long as the time is right, the manga part will be able to develop independently.

A number of businesses are booming on the cloud screening and painting, and the cloud culture is also about to start to exert its strength.

"What's the name of this magazine?" Asako Hirohashi asked.

"How about calling it 'Elf Game'?" Hideki Hanyu said.

"Okay, then I'll start gathering people, magazine editors, comic studios, but it will take time."

Megumi Kitahara is ideal to go to the next series of work, but instead of feeling troublesome, he is full of interest.

She doesn't understand technology, and she is more interested in the traditional publishing industry than Genie Entertainment.

"Then I'll leave everything to Asako-san."

After explaining the new business of cloud culture to Asako Hirohashi, Hideki Hanyu went to Genie Entertainment to learn about the development of the Saint Seiya arcade.

stayed until the afternoon, and Hanyu Hideki waited for the appointment of Yuji Horii trio.

Hideki Hanyu first took them on a tour of the Elf Entertainment.

Looking at the sparrow's small but well-equipped elf entertainment, as well as the relaxed, happy, and positive working atmosphere, Yuji Horii finally decided to join Elf Entertainment after a few days of consideration.

As the saying goes, good things have to come in pairs, and here the three great gods Yuji Horii, Koichi Nakamura, and Yukinobu Chida have just joined Genie Entertainment, and the acquisition of the HAL Institute has also been successful.

Regardless of the opposition of his subordinates, Tanimura Masahito sold the HAL Research Institute, which had been established for almost two years, as well as a series of games and related patents, to Genie Entertainment for 45 million.

Hideki Hanyu, who had no feelings for the HAL Institute at all, disbanded the HAL Institute on the day of the acquisition, merging the entire studio into Genie Entertainment.

He did not appease the uncomfortable feelings of the former HAL research institute employees who were abandoned by their former bosses, but held a working meeting of the R&D department as soon as possible.

In his opinion, it is more useful to have these techs directly engaged in the development of the game they like, than to appease them.

In this meeting, he split the game development department of Genie Entertainment into two.

Some of them are led by Tibetan horses, forming a workshop called Holy, which is also known as the [Sacred Workshop].

The other part of the people were assigned to the newly joined Yuji Horii and three great gods, forming a studio called myth, that is, [myth studio].

Hideki Hanyu, a former member of the HAL Research Institute, appointed Satoshi Iwata, the future head of Nintendo, as the person in charge to form the magical studio, which is also known as the [Magical Studio].

So far, the "Three Gods" studio, which helped Elf Entertainment conquer the game industry and establish a great reputation, was officially established by countless players in later generations.
