"In this world, there are many decisions that seem very stupid to outsiders, but if you look at them from the perspective of the parties, they are actually the most reasonable choices, or the only choice."

In a tea house box in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, Hideki Hanyu said.

Beside him, sat a beautiful woman with a petite figure.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Kyoko Koizumi.

Halfway through Nintendo's press conference, Hideki Hanyu, who felt bored, was ready to leave.

Finding that other people didn't want to see it anymore, he simply invited everyone to drink tea at the tea house near the exhibition hall.

However, when he was leaving, he met a goblin who was a publicity ambassador at the TEPCO Exhibition, and he took the other party with him.

Therefore, in the box now, in addition to the little goblin, there are also Eri Kitahara and Satoshi Iwata sitting opposite.

And Hanyu Hideki's first words were also said to the two.

In response to his words, Satoshi Iwata nodded in agreement.

"Yes, if I were to sit in Yamauchi's position and face the current predicament, I am afraid I would make the same choice.

Launching new consoles that are not compatible with FC games certainly risks losing market share of old consoles, but now that everyone is launching new consoles, if Nintendo is indifferent and continues to hold on to FC consoles, it will only end up being a slow death. ”

Eri Kitahara followed suit, "That's right, if Nintendo doesn't let go of FC, it's very likely that we won't have to do it, and Sega can rely on the new console to grab a part of the market, and then their results will only be worse." ”

"Hehe, let's not talk about Nintendo, now the situation is very clear, we just need to do our thing."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he raised his teacup and took a sip, then beckoned a few people, "The gyokuro here is good, please don't be polite." ”

For him, since Nintendo has already made a move, it is already in the past.

The top management of Elf Entertainment has already made various ways to deal with all the possibilities of Nintendo.

Therefore, the next thing Genie Entertainment has to do is just follow the plan.

Even, in the follow-up work, there is no need for Iwata Satoshi to be personally responsible.

After all, Elf Entertainment's business is busy, and in addition to competitors, there are too many things to deal with for its own development.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't even need to look at Satoshi Iwata's work plan, he can say a lot of things casually.

For example.

The establishment of the global sales network of Genie Entertainment.

Divisions in various regions of the world.

Review of game development plans of the three major studios, as well as a number of subordinate game developers and studios.

Investment and acquisition plans for some potential game developers.

Approval of hardware R&D, as well as investment and cooperation in production and foundry.

Or the operation of some important IPs in the future, such as the special effects drama project in cooperation with Cloud Entertainment, such as the "Lord of the Rings" game development project that has just started, and the "Monster Universe" project that is nearing the end of negotiations with Toho......

In addition to console games, Genie Entertainment also has the EGP arcade platform, the Pokeball handheld platform, and the electronic pet Pokémon Fight, which is still selling well.

Today's Genie Entertainment is already a behemoth in the video game industry.

The past was enough to make them jealous of Nintendo.

Until now, it's just a rival in the home console space.

"That's right, what we should be afraid of now is actually the opponent hidden in the shadows, those guys who have already shown their hole cards, we just need to deal with it normally."

Eri Kitahara said, took a sip of the teacup, and said with emotion, "Fresh and elegant, it is indeed a good tea." ”

Very incumbent, Hanyu Hideki's relaxed attitude also infected the two in front of him.

Satoshi Iwata also picked up the teacup and savored it.

Beside him, the little goblin played a well-behaved service role, helping the three of them pour tea with their unskilled tea ceremony skills.

However, the three of them did not stay in the tea house for too long.

Satoshi Iwata and Eri Kitahara still had work to do, and after noon, they said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu and left.

After the two left, Hanyu Hideki didn't stay long, and left the tea house with the goblin.

After getting in the car, Hideki Hanyu asked the leprechaun, "Do you still have work in the afternoon?" Do you want me to send you back to the office first? ”

The little goblin didn't answer, but asked Hanyu Hideki first, "What is the teacher going to do in the afternoon?" ”

"I'd like to go to Mingna." Hideki Hanyu replied.

Who wants the goblin to say, "If the teacher wants to find Mingcai-chan, then you don't have to go." ”

"Why?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Kyoko Koizumi explained, "Doesn't the teacher know? Akina went back to Kiyose City last night. ”

"What's wrong, why don't I know?" Hideki Hanyu asked curiously.

The goblin replied, "I finished recording the show with her yesterday, and she went back after receiving a phone call, and she was in a hurry, so I guess I didn't have time to tell you." ”

"Then I'd better call and ask."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he directly dialed Akina Nakamori's mobile phone.

It didn't connect, and it is estimated that there is no signal over there at all.

In this case, he could only send a pager message first, waiting for the other party to call him back.

Then he asked the leprechaun again, "What are you going to do next?" ”

The little goblin grabbed Hideki Hanyu's hand and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to accompany the teacher." ”

"Don't have a job?"

"It's important to have a teacher at work."

"You can talk."

In the face of the goblin's sweet words, Hanyu Hideki smiled and nodded on the other party's forehead.

But he didn't say anything about letting the other party leave.

However, Akina Nakamori was not there, and Shirokanedai District couldn't go, so Marko, who was driving, asked Hideki Hanyu, "Boss, where are we going?" ”

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "Go to the clouds for entertainment." ”

"Okay."

Marco answered, and immediately turned around and headed for the port area.

"Teacher, what are you going to do with cloud entertainment?" The leprechaun asked curiously.

Hideki Hanyu then replied, "Let's talk to Asako-san about some work." ”

As for what to talk about, Hanyu Hideki didn't say much, and the little goblin also knew that it had nothing to do with her, so he was very smart and didn't ask.

It's just that until the car arrived at the parking lot of the Cloud Entertainment Building, Hanyu Hideki didn't wait for Akina Nakamori's call back, which made him a little worried.

Therefore, before he went to meet Asako Hirohashi, he deliberately went to the Cloud Entertainment Office.

However, he suddenly appeared, which had not shown up for a long time, and instantly made the office jump for a while.

Whether it was the employees of the club or the artists who stayed in the office at this time, they all rushed over and bowed to him in unison.

He had something in his heart, and he was not in the mood to greet his subordinates at this time.

With the little goblin, he strode straight to Iijima Sanchi's office.

The little goblin followed behind Hanyu Hideki, feeling the awe-inspiring gazes of the people around him, although he knew that it was for Hanyu Hideki, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

"Hanyu-sensei, is there something wrong with coming to me suddenly?"

Before Hideki Hanyu arrived at Iijima Sanchi's office, Iijima Sanchi had already taken the initiative to greet him.

After all, as soon as Hanyu Hideki entered the door, the reception lady at the door informed Iijima Sanchi by phone.

"It's nothing important, I just want to ask Akina what's going on?"

"The agent who followed Akina-san back to Kiyose City called me in the morning and told me that her mother was in a physical condition, and I don't know exactly what it was."

Iijima Sanchi answered truthfully.

She thought that there was something unexpected when Hanyu Hideki suddenly came, but she didn't expect it to be just to ask about Akina Nakamori.

When Hideki Hanyu heard Iijima's answer, he thought it was exactly what he guessed.

Last year, I said that I would arrange for the other party's mother to go to America for medical treatment, and I originally planned to talk about it after the work was done in March.

Now it seems that it has to be brought forward.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Iijima Sanchi, "I'll go to your office and make a call." ”

Next, Hideki Hanyu followed Michi Iijima to the office.

Then he made a transatlantic phone call and contacted his secretary's office in America.

It's already off work there, and there's only one employee on duty.

Hideki Hanyu instructed the staff on duty, "Help me contact Texas Medical Center immediately......"

After saying his request in detail, Hideki Hanyu hung up the phone.

Next to him, Iijima Sanchi, who had listened to the whole process, asked, "Is Hanyu-sensei going to arrange for Akina's mother to go to America for medical treatment?" ”

Hanyu Hideki nodded, "Yes, after all, the medical conditions over there are better. ”

Hearing this, Iijima Sanchi sighed, "Hey, it seems that I have to adjust Akina-san's work schedule in advance." ”

Iijima Sanchi knows very well that this kind of thing of going overseas for medical treatment, Akina Nakamori will definitely follow at the beginning, and it will inevitably affect the work that has been arranged.

If this kind of thing is put in neon other firms, or other artists, the office will not care about what you do, you can do whatever you need to do, and you are not allowed to leave for a day.

can be performed on the cloud, and it will generally be accommodating for a few days.

And when this artist is Akina Nakamori, it will become trying to meet Akina Nakamori's needs.

After all, it is the pillar of today's cloud entertainment studio.

Coupled with the relationship with Hideki Hanyu, Iijima certainly understood what she had to do.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Then please leave it to Iijima-san, but don't worry for the time being, you can contact my secretary's office in America first to confirm the medical treatment arrangements at the Texas Medical Center, and discuss with Akina before deciding." ”

"Okay, Hanyu-sensei."

As soon as Iijima's words fell, the phone on her desk rang.

But when the time came, he picked it up and listened to a few words, and immediately looked up and said to Hanyu Hideki, "It's Akina-san's agent." ”

"Let Akina talk to me." Hanyu Hideki commanded.

Iijima Sanchi immediately instructed the agent on the other end of the phone, saying that Hideki Hanyu was next to him and wanted to talk to Akina Nakamori.

A moment later, Iijima Sanchi handed the phone to Hideki Hanyu, "Akina-san has arrived. ”

Hideki Hanyu took the microphone and said, "Akina, it's me." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a weak voice coming from the earpiece.

"Hanyu-kun, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, everything is with me, I have already contacted Americaka's side, and I can arrange for your mother to go to America for medical treatment immediately."

Hanyu Hideki said this and asked, "I called you and paged you before, why didn't you call me back?" ”

"After I returned to Kiyose City last night, I rushed my mother to the hospital in Kiyose City, and I stayed here all night, leaving all my belongings at home."

Akina Nakamori's voice was a little weak, and she didn't have much rest last night.

"How is your mother doing?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Mother fainted last night while working at a bar, and ...... afterward"

Akina Nakamori first told Hanyu Hideki about her mother's condition, and then said, "This morning, the doctor told me that he would recommend that he transfer to Tokyo as soon as his mother's physical condition is stable. ”

"You don't need to go to Tokyo, when the arrangements are made on the American side, go directly to America, and I'll go with you then."

"Well, I'll listen to you, but...... Can Hanyu-kun come and accompany me now? ”

Akina Nakamori's soft and weak pleas were obviously helpless to the extreme.

"Okay, I'll go now." Hideki Hanyu agreed without hesitation.

Akina Nakamori said, "I'm at Murano Hospital in Kiyose City, so you can call this number when you arrive......

Hanging up the phone with Akina Nakamori, Hideki Hanyu said to Sanchi Iijima, "I'll leave it to you to help Akina adjust her work schedule, this is Americaka's contact information for my secretary's office." ”

Hanyu said, finding a piece of paper on the table and writing two phone numbers.

"Hanyu-sensei, please rest assured." Iijima Sanchi said.

"Then I'll go first."

With Iijima's farewell, Hideki Hanyu returned to the parking lot.

What I wanted to say to Asako Hirohashi could only come back another day.

Before getting into the car, he looked at the little goblin who was still following him, didn't hide it, and said truthfully, "I'm going to visit Akina in Kiyose City." ”

When the little goblin heard this, he stopped and said, "Teacher, go ahead, be careful on the road, and I'll just take a taxi back by myself." ”

"Well, you should be careful, too."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he got into the car and ordered Marco to leave.

Speaking of which, Kiyose City is not far from Tokyo.

It's less than 40 kilometers from Minato.

Take the Capital Expressway, and you will arrive at the entrance of the hospital that Akina Nakamori said in the early hours of an hour.

It looks like a very small hospital, but I'm afraid it was too urgent last night, otherwise I wouldn't have come here, and I would have been sent straight to Tokyo.

After making a phone call.

Soon, Hideki Hanyu saw Akina Nakamori walk out of the hospital gate.

The girl was wearing a white skirt with a cyan coat on the outside, and looking at the shape of the skirt, it must have been the costume worn on the show.

Obviously, the girl didn't even bother to change her clothes after getting off the show yesterday, so she rushed back overnight.

Looking at the girl's face again, haggard and weak, I feel pity.

(Haggard Vegetable Picture)

Hideki Hanyu got out of the car as soon as possible.

And after Akina Nakamori saw him, she also ran over in small steps and threw herself directly into his arms.

Then, the girl's voice, as if she had found a place to lean on, sounded.

"Hanyu-kun, it's great to see you."

"Don't worry about Mingna, everything will be fine with me."

Hideki Hanyu stroked the girl's hair.

The girl gently rubbed Hanyu Hideki's chest with her head, "Well, with Hanyu-kun by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

"Will Akina still have to take care of her mother next?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Akina Nakamori said, "No, my sister Akiko will replace me and rest." ”

"Then I'll take you home first."

"Okay."

In this way, Hideki Hanyu took Akina Nakamori and returned to the girl's home in Kiyose City.

After Akina Nakamori made money, in addition to buying an apartment in Tokyo.

I also bought land in Kiyose City and helped my family build a house to live in.

However, it is different from another time and space, where you can take out a loan to buy a small building with a shop.

Because of the decision made with her father in advance, Akina Nakamori's family continued to run the bar in addition to work.

Therefore, the purpose of this house is only to live, and the style is that of a four-storey hardcover apartment building.

In addition to living with your family, you can also rent out to collect rent.

Akina Nakamori's house is on the top floor.

When Hideki Hanyu entered the interior, he found that although the room area was not large, the sparrows were small and well-decorated, and the decoration was quite delicate and beautiful.

However, it can also be seen from the furnishings that Akina Nakamori should not come back often.

"Hanyu-kun, please wait, I'll cook dinner now."

Akina Nakamori lifted the plastic bag on her handle, which was the ingredient she bought when she came back.

"Forget it, you haven't rested since last night, go take a hot bath first, and leave the cooking to me."

Hanyu Hideki took off his blazer and went to pick up the ingredients in the other party's hand.

"How can that be?" Akina Nakamori turned away.

Asking her lover to cook in her own home made her feel very rude.

"What's not to do then?"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he grabbed it again.

The haggard dish, who didn't have a good rest, wanted to dodge again, but Hanyu Hideki, who had already prepared, subdued it in an instant.

After snatching the ingredients, he carried the girl to the bathroom door.

"Let's go take a hot bath and eat when it's over."

With that, Hideki Hanyu walked straight to the kitchen.

……

The early spring sunset slowly sets below the horizon.

Darkness gradually enveloped the entire city of Kiyose.

Akina Nakamori's apartment bedroom on a tatami mat.

Akina Nakamori snuggled into Hideki Hanyu's arms and fell asleep.

The girl slept in a quiet position and breathed steadily.

Obviously, with Hideki Hanyu by her side, Akina Nakamori slept exceptionally sweetly.

On the other hand, Hideki Hanyu didn't sleep with his eyes open, thinking about other things.

Although he came to accompany Akina Nakamori tonight, he must return to Tokyo again tomorrow morning.

The launch ceremony of the 'Fairy Paradise' project jointly released with the Seibu Group.

Since Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will be there, then he can't be absent.

He has already explained to Marco that he will bring an assistant to pick him up tomorrow.

There is also the matter of taking Akina's mother to Amerika for medical treatment.

Since he promised that the other party would go together, he would never break his promise.

Fortunately, there is still a week before the date of the Spring Gathering held by the Heart Elephant Chamber of Commerce, which is enough for him to play a round trip in America.

As for what I want to say to Asako Hirohashi, tomorrow's launching ceremony of the 'Elf Paradise' project, as a partner of Cloud Entertainment, Asako Hirohashi will also be there, so I can take time to chat.

Looking back, he realized that there really wasn't anything that needed to be dealt with urgently.

That's fine, at least you don't have to worry about people arriving in America and suddenly having something urgent to rush back.

……

March 15th.

The third day of the 5th Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

After Yu Qinglai changed into the clothes sent by Ishihara Tomoe, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Akina Nakamori and drove back to Tokyo to attend the press conference of Genie Entertainment at the main booth today.

The 'Fairy Paradise' project is the finale.

So when the press conference started and Satoshi Iwata took the stage, Hideki Hanyu still accompanied Yoshiaki Tsutsumi to wait backstage.

Next to it, there is also Asako Hirohashi, who came as a representative of the partner.

In the 'elf paradise' to be built in the future, in addition to various themed landscaping and amusement facilities, it is natural that real people will be indispensable for live performances.

Neither the Seibu Group nor Genie Entertainment had any experience in this area.

Therefore, after some discussion, it was decided to hand over the content of the theme live performance to Cloud Entertainment.

From the design of performance content to the recruitment and training of performers, all will be completed by Cloud Entertainment.

After briefly greeting Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Hideki Hanyu found Asako Hirohashi again, and seized the time to talk about what he wanted to say yesterday.

"Asa Zisang, how are the preparations for the propaganda work in Xiangjiang now?"

Hideki Hanyu is referring to the publicity work of Xiangjiang in his mouth, in fact, he is referring to the use of cloud entertainment to promote the success of Xiangjiang films in recent years with the help of its own media resources.

Not only Hong Kong itself, but also the whole of Asia.

It is to create the impression that Xiangjiang films are prosperous and prosperous in the territory of neon.

As for why this is done, of course, it is after the expansion of the New Moon Cinema Line, it is ready to swallow the Asian Cinema Line.

If you don't show the "grand scene" in advance, what will you rely on to pull up the stock price?

"Hanyu-san can rest assured that nothing will go wrong." Asako Hirohashi said confidently.

After all, if this kind of publicity work is concerned, if cloud entertainment can't handle it, then these years have really been in vain.

"That's good, remember not to be too deliberate, lest it backfire." Hideki Hanyu reminded.

"Okay, I'll tell the person in charge of this when I get back."

Asako Hirohashi said this, and then asked, "I heard from the people below that Hanyu-san went to the clouds last night. ”

"I was going to find you, but who wants to know about Akina......"

Hideki Hanyu explained what happened last night.

"It turned out to be this matter, I didn't expect it to be so serious, so let Akina take care of her mother in America, and I will help President Iijima deal with her adjustment at work."

Asako Hirohashi has always had a special affection for Akina Nakamori, who has lived in her home since she was sixteen years old.

Just like the three girls of the Vitality Girl, as long as she can take care of her, she will never be stingy.

As she spoke, Asako Hirohashi asked again, "When is Hanyu-san going to leave Neon?" ”

"If nothing else, I'll leave tomorrow."

"So fast."

"The Texas Medical Center in Houston has already been contacted, and of course it's too late."

"That ......"

Asako Hirohashi wanted to say something, but at this moment, suddenly there was a huge cheer from the direction of the main booth.

This continuous cheer not only interrupted Asako Hirohashi's words, but also attracted the attention of everyone backstage.

Hanyu Hideki thought of the game that Satoshi Iwata was going to announce today, and vaguely guessed why.

But others who don't know only have curiosity and surprise in their hearts.

Especially Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, he walked up to Hideki Hanyu and asked, "President Hanyu, what's going on up ahead?" ”

Hideki Hanyu replied, "If I'm right, the audience should be cheering for an upcoming game from Genie Entertainment." ”

"For a game?" Tsutsumi Yoshiaki looked puzzled.

"Of course, the games produced by Elf Entertainment have always been loved by players, isn't that why Tysang asked us to cooperate?"

Akiki Hanyu said this, and then listened to the cheers that continued to sound at the main booth, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was instantly interested in the game being released.

Hurriedly asked, "Will the game released by Hanyu-san today also appear in our elf paradise?" ”

"Sorry, this game isn't in Elfland's preferred plan."

Hideki Hanyu made an apologetic face.

The planned fairy park, the first phase of the design and construction plan, has only four theme parks for the time being.

They are Fantasy Pet Secret Land, Mario World, Adventure Joy City, and Real-life Story Theme Block.

Fantasy Pet Secret Land is a theme park composed of Tama Geko and Pokémon.

Mario World, as the name suggests, is a theme park centered on the Mario backworld, which also includes the game "Ice Cube" and the upcoming "Snowman Brothers" content.

Adventure City is a variety of large-scale amusement facilities designed with the theme of the copyright of Elf Entertainment.

As for the real-life story theme block, it is to set up real scenes in various copyright stories, and then perform the story.

Naturally, there is also a classic theme float parade.

(The details of the amusement park are not watery, and there is a detailed introduction to the fairy paradise travel in the empty code chapter.) ）

At this time, at the main booth, Satoshi Iwata displayed the game "Sonic", which was not in the design of the first phase of "Elf Paradise".

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was disappointed when he heard that the game outside was cheered by the players and was not in the content of the theme park.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly explained without waiting for the other party to speak.

"Please don't worry, if this game is also well received after its release, we will let its popularity spread a little more, and it will be too late to join the second phase of the construction plan."

"That's all there is to it."

After Yoshiaki finished speaking, he seemed to be curious about what kind of game could be so popular with players, so he walked to the side of the main booth to see it for himself.

But Hideki Hanyu didn't act.

Because the cheers of the players have already told him that Sonic is going to be a success.

Hideki Hanyu firmly believes that Sonic, an epoch-making game, will help Genie Entertainment defeat all opponents.

On the main booth, Sonic's demo screen made the players under the stands cheer.

The charm of the sonic hedgehog instantly captured the hearts of players.

Look at the beautiful graphics, the playful design of the details, and the unparalleled speed and sound of the game's characters.

Players are already convinced that there is a good chance that the game will be as good as Satoshi Iwata said, a work that is no less than Super Mario Bros.

Well, not everyone in the stands was cheering.

Some people rejoice, and naturally some people are sad.

The Sega manager who held the press conference yesterday, as well as Nintendo's Minoru Arakawa, were also off-stage at this time.

The better Sonic performs, the louder the cheers of the players, and the cooler their hearts become.

The new console that has been brewing for a long time has just hit the epoch-making masterpiece of Elf Entertainment as soon as it is listed.

The result......

They couldn't bear to think about it.

Under the influence of such a mood, at the end of the press conference, Genie Entertainment and Seibu Group announced that they would start the 'Elf Paradise' project with a huge investment.

None of them had the heart to care.

After all, compared to "Sonic" that can directly defeat them, a park project that can only be built in a few years is really nothing to worry about.

Thanks to Chau534 for the tip.
