I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 135 If You Like It, It’s Not Impossible
"I'm really sorry."

The CM officially started at the end of the second day.

Yuuna Eguchi, who had previously threatened to liquidate the "evil" elements of the New Dimension Society, was now bowing and apologizing in front of the booth with sweat on her forehead.

Although there was still a full day left before the bet ended, she knew it was over.

Although this is the first time that New Dimension Club has participated in the exhibition, the popularity of the New Dimension Club booth over the past two days is simply incomparable to that of other clubs in the area.

The support of traffic from multiple sources, coupled with their own good location and the quality of their commercial works.

The New Dimension Society here is just like the Trisolarans who just arrived on Earth. They are players from a completely different dimension.

AS Club wanted to make a comeback on the last day, which is almost the same as a national football team winning seven games in a row and advancing to the World Cup.

It's difficult to win.

Especially as the first batch of players who stayed up all night to finish the story began to share their unbearable feelings online.

The online discussion about "White Album" is exploding.

Especially the "famous painting" at the end which is quite abstract but seems to whip people's hearts: Touma with tears in his eyes is kissing the male protagonist Haruki at the airport, and in the distance between the two, Setsuna lowers her head and remains silent.

For the galgame players in this world, this kind of confusing and stomach-wrenching love triangle work is the first time they have encountered it.

Where have you ever seen such a cruel thing?

Add to that Yukiko's particularly moving "Unspoken Love".

"The White Album", a work of a small fan workshop, even makes many people feel that it seems to have the potential to become a big hit.

As the popularity soared, the previous bet between Natural AS and New Dimension was repeatedly mentioned.

According to AS's past performance, this galgame with an isekai theme actually sold quite well.

But compared with "White Album", it really looks a bit too clownish.

At this moment, everyone turned around and looked at Eguchi Yuna's bet, and they were all curious, how could she dare to do that?
After personally experiencing "White Album", I had a severe stomachache.

Eguchi Yuna also knew very well that she had encountered an opponent that she could not defeat even if she tried her best.

More importantly, the quality of the work they delivered.

They were not just playing house as Eguchi Yuna had thought before.

Not only are their works of extremely high quality, but the subject matter is also particularly novel, which has never been seen in the previous galgame market. It is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into them.

The more Eguchi Yuna thought about it, the more ashamed she felt.

So at the end of the second day of CM, when we were about to leave.

After apologizing to her own club members, Eguchi Yuna took a deep breath, came to the New Dimension Society's booth, and bowed to apologize.

Sakurai Itsuki asked Eguchi Yuna, who was showing her "craftsman spirit": "It's not over yet, why are you apologizing?"

"Well, you're asking this question even though you already know the answer? You won, it's me who didn't recognize you." Eguchi Yuna raised her head and looked at the handsome guy in front of her with a twitch of her lips.

I heard that he wrote the script for this story.

She had no idea that a high school student could write a story that made her stomach ache.

"Who said that? What if you win? What if we just look popular but don't actually sell many?" Sakurai Itsuki said.

Eguchi Yuna asked: "So, how many sales have you achieved?"

"Almost five thousand." Sakurai Itsuki casually reported an astronomical figure in Eguchi Yuna's mind.

".Are you doing this on purpose?" asked Eguchi Yuna. Is this guy deliberately disgusting her?
"Ah, what else?" Sakurai Itsuki shrugged calmly and admitted it decisively.

Jiangkou Yuna gnashed her teeth and said, "No wonder you can write such a disgusting story."

Sakurai Itsuki had long been accustomed to all sorts of verbal attacks, so of course he didn't take it seriously: "So what? As long as it sells, it's fine. Isn't the sales volume what you're betting on?"

"I am willing to accept the loss, but please don't make things difficult for our club. This is my personal behavior, please let me take personal responsibility." Eguchi Yuna felt extremely regretful at this moment and lowered her head again.

Because of her bet, AS Company was also AOE'd by public opinion and has become the object of ridicule within the circle.

If this continues, AS may be used as a bargaining chip by capitalists to lower the price during future investment negotiations due to its reputation issues.

"You personally?"

Sakurai Itsuki stroked his chin and looked at the girl in front of him named Eguchi Yuna.

She is not very tall and has a bad personality, but her appearance is pretty good.

The reason why she gets into trouble every day but rarely gets hurt is not only because she is indeed "upright", but her beautiful appearance should also help a lot.

Noticing Sakurai Itsuki's gaze scanning her entire body, Eguchi Yuna couldn't help but swallow her saliva in fear.

"You, what do you want me to do." Eguchi Yuna shrank back a little in fear, no longer having the aggressive momentum she had in the past two days.

"Nothing, I just think you're pretty good-looking. Speaking of which, you don't want your behavior to bring trouble to everyone in your club, do you? Do you like COS costumes?"

Sakurai Itsuki said these lines, which really made people think about it.

"I, I, can you please forgive me?" After hearing this classic Japanese speech, Eguchi Yuna begged for mercy in fear.

But the next moment, it was Sakurai Itsuki who gasped: "Hiss."

Sakurai Itsuki turned around in pain, and the one who did it was indeed the hot blonde girl.

Sato Wakaba was using her slender fingers to tightly clamp a piece of flesh on Sakurai Itsuki's waist and twisting it hard.

"What do you want to do?" Sato Wakaba asked coldly.

The young lady who was clearing the booth in the distance also cast a disdainful look at Sakurai Itsuki: "This is our club's bet. You pervert, don't act for your own selfish desires."

Recently, Hane Shion has been verbally contradicting Sakurai Itsuki's thoughts and actions, but in reality she has been obedient and submissive.

But she couldn't allow a plot like this!

Even Yuki Mizuno just hugged him and didn't even hold his hand properly.

It's not possible that everyone argued openly and secretly for a long time, and then suddenly when the award was given, it turned into "Holy shit, who is Eguchi Yuna?"

Sakurai Itsuki quickly patted Sato Wakaba's hand that was still tightly twisting the flesh around her waist, "I'm trying to help her, what do you think I'm going to do?"

He explained, "On the last day, I thought I'd let them come to our booth and act as image girls. They can help out. Aren't you leaving on a plane tomorrow morning? The booth is getting busier and busier. I'm really thinking about the club. Let them go."

Of course, Sakurai Itsuki had no sexual thoughts towards Eguchi Yuna.

He was just used to being a beast on the Internet, so it was almost instinctive for him to use this classic sentence to disgust the girl who had been aggressive before.

Unexpectedly, before anyone could even say anything, he was already being punished by the people around him.

"Hmph, then why didn't you ask someone else to be the poster girl before? Or did you think we were not that good-looking?" Sato Wakaba released her hand that was twisting Sakurai Itsuki's waist, still questioning with a pout on her lips.

But halfway through, he changed "I" to "we," somewhat masking the sour thoughts within. "At least this isn't a punishment. I think it'll embarrass her a little," Sakurai Itsuki said. "Didn't you reject Hase's proposal before? Or do you actually want to try out a bold cosplay costume like that?"

Before the comic convention started, Hase Hatsuna, who likes niche dressing, suggested that everyone do some cosplay or something. She is very professional in this area and has channels to help them borrow many good-looking cosplay costumes.

But after seeing the clothes that Hase Hatsuna showed, everyone rejected Hase Hatsuna's proposal without thinking.

Those clothes are too "bold".

It would be both troublesome and embarrassing to dress like that.

"You didn't say you wanted to see it at that time." Sato Wakaba muttered softly.

I thought to myself, if you had told her you wanted to see it, she might not have bothered to let you go.

However, Hanase Shion said in a very firm tone: "How disgusting! I will never wear those otaku-friendly clothes! And I definitely don't want to show them to you."

However, her tough words made the other members of the club watching the show look subtle.

I always feel that if Sakurai Itsuki really wanted to see it, she would definitely say one thing and do another, and put it on obediently while scolding Sakurai Itsuki.

"Well, actually I really want to see it." Sakurai Itsuki said.

Hane Shion was stunned for a moment and immediately regretted her tsundere remarks.

What if Sato Wakaba nodded and said, "Then wear it," what should we do?
But Sato Wakaba didn't say that. Instead, she said again in a rather cunning way, "I don't want to wear those embarrassing clothes in public and show them to everyone."

The words sounded like a rejection, but there seemed to be a hint of, "If you want to see it, I'll go home and wear it for you alone."

Hearing this, Sakurai Jitu's heart was trembling, which was rare for him, and he quickly said, "I was joking."

Sakurai Itsuki turned around and looked at the dazed Hanase Shion.

She seemed to have not yet tasted the taste, and was still relieved that Sakurai Itsuki said it was just a joke.

Sakurai Shu thought to himself, the young lady is truly innocent.
But when I thought about her notebooks, I couldn't help but feel weird.

Eguchi Yuna was standing there in a daze, watching this scene, and thought to herself, this guy is such a scumbag.

Wait, scumbag.

Then he looked back at Sato Wakaba and Hane Shion, whose attitudes towards Sakurai Itsuki were obviously different from those of other club members.

She seemed to understand something.

No wonder he could write such a stomach-churning story as "The White Album".
This has a prototype!

I don't know why, but I was so tormented by this confusing love triangle yesterday that I couldn't even eat.

Why am I so excited when I see a similar plot happening in front of me today?

"Then it's settled. The bet ends here. Also, I want to talk to your president after the New Year."

Sakurai Itsuki knew that AS Company wanted to officially enter the professional track, and with the current scale of New Dimension Company, it would be very difficult for them to work on the huge sequel to White Album or to officially enter the market.

The reason why he supported this bet was that he wanted to cooperate with AS, or even merge and acquire it.

Of course, it is too hasty to ask others to cooperate with you just based on a bet, so the request made by Sakurai Itsuki was just to ask Eguchi Yuna to help him.

Once you are familiar with each other, you can slowly negotiate.

"Well, I apologize again for looking down on you before." Eguchi Yuna breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Sakurai Itsuki.

This childish bet may not sound like a big deal, but once it involves online public opinion, it can become a big or small matter, especially for small-scale games.

You know, it is not uncommon in the industry for a game company to be attacked by players due to inappropriate wording in a tweet, and even seriously affect sales and revenue.

This is also the reason why Eguchi Yuna, who is obviously very strong-willed, took the initiative to come forward and bow to apologize.

Now Sakurai Itsuki has let them off, so she sincerely thanks him and apologizes.

"It's okay, we did take the back door. I understand you'd be angry." Yuuki Tsukimeng smiled kindly. Except when facing Hase Hatsuna, she was a gentle, kind and lovely legal loli, even though she actually smoked and drank.

"Then let me decide on her outfit!" Hase Hatsuna was already extremely excited and immediately raised her hand.

This poor female teacher finally seemed to have found a new toy.

Eguchi Yuna looked at Hase Hatsuna and took a step back, feeling that something was wrong.
May 12, morning.

"Call me when you get there."

At Narita International Airport, Sakurai Itsuki saw off Sato Wakaba, who was heading to the UK to spend the New Year with her family.

"I know! But let's just have a video call. International long-distance calls are so expensive." Sato Wakaba's family and she herself are not short of money, but they are still quite frugal when it comes to how they spend money.

Sakurai Itsuki nodded, thinking this was a good thing: "Yeah, that's fine."

"But video calls also have risks. After all, it might be me calling, and Yuki might be busy on the line." Sato Wakaba changed the subject and said with a pout.

Just as Sakurai Itsuki said, Mizuno Yuki has become a little too clingy since that day.

She would video call Sakurai Itsuki almost every day. Even if Sakurai Itsuki was working, she would suggest that they work together while Sakurai Itsuki was on video.

She was reviewing and editing the video, while Sakurai Itsuki was quietly drawing. They each did their own thing and did not interfere with each other.

At first, Sakurai Itsuki felt that there was no point in just playing the video and doing their own thing.

But later, occasionally when he finished painting and looked up to rest, there were always a few times when his eyes met with Yuki Mizuno who was secretly observing him.

It was difficult for Sakurai Itsuki to describe this feeling, but he did not refuse.

"It doesn't take that much time, it will be done eventually." Sakurai Itsuki took a sip of water and said guiltily.

"Hmph, by the way, have you checked Twitter? Haha, Mr. Hase, you're so mean." Sato Wakaba didn't pursue the matter any further. After complaining slightly, she took out her mobile phone and moved closer to Sakurai Itsuki to show him the content.

The arrogant Eguchi Yuna now changed into a rather revealing catwoman maid outfit, her face flushed as she lowered her head, standing in front of the New Dimension Society's booth.

She was holding a sign: [I'm Yuna-nyan, who made a bet to lose herself to her opponent as a poster girl.]

The number of likes and comments below is rapidly increasing.

Everyone in the circle had never seen the always aggressive "moral guard" look so shy and embarrassed, giving people the feeling of a female knight selling herself and falling into depravity. They all expressed their desire to go to the booth again to join in the fun.

"She's always been professionally bad."

"But it's quite cute, isn't it? Haha." Sato Wakaba smiled. She looked really good in that outfit.

"I don't know how to answer." Sakurai Itsuki didn't want to offend her or make her unhappy at the last moment of her departure.

"Answer truthfully. If you like, it's not impossible to wait for me to come back." Sato Wakaba turned to look at Sakurai Itsuki, his voice getting lower and lower.

It was rare for her to bring out the rather ambiguous meaning that had been hidden before.
