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

"Oh, if you find it really difficult, I might be able to talk to your father on your behalf."

Yuna Eguchi said, looking at Itsuki Sakurai who was deep in thought.

But after only two seconds, she suggested, "Actually, I think it's a good thing that you're showing your face. Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed very handsome. Just the fact that you are a handsome comic artist can attract a lot of popularity. Not to mention that you are so young and your strength is so amazing, you will definitely become a top star."

Yuna Eguchi wanted him to reveal his identity.

Sakurai Itsuki's three names are now quite popular.

If it were revealed that the three scoundrels were all the same person, there would be almost no need for marketing; the sheer volume of shock would be enough to make him a top influencer, his fame resounding throughout the land.

In today's world, as long as a company has traffic and influence, it will not lack investment or business.

As a current member of the company, she naturally hopes that everyone can become stronger and achieve greater success.

"Is he really that handsome? You're not just flattering the boss, are you?" Sakurai Itsuki stroked his chin, showing a little narcissism.

"Otherwise, why would those three girls like you so much? Any one of them would be a woman that others could only dream of!"

Yuna Eguchi complained.

"Of course I know I'm handsome, but I always feel like it would cause trouble at school." Sakurai Itsuki was still a little hesitant.

Even though she had already kept her real name, Sakurai Itsuki, so low-key, her private affairs were still posted online.

If it were really made public, I'd probably have to worry like Yuki Mizuno about being followed by paparazzi every time I came to school or went to crowded places.

Yuna Eguchi said, "School? Seriously, isn't going to university just a formality? If you really want to learn something, people in the industry would be begging to teach you!"

What Yuna Eguchi said is true; the title of "mentor of a genius manga artist" alone is enough to attract a large number of people.

Not to mention, given Sakurai Itsuki's ability to almost wholesale best-selling products, building a relationship with him would be an excellent investment.

"You know what? My dad was really against my brother and me making galgames. If I hadn't gone along with him and studied animation, he probably would have cut ties with me completely."

But recently, during a chat, after learning that my brother and I are now working under you, she immediately stopped objecting. She was all smiles, eager for me to get closer to you.

Yuna Eguchi had mixed feelings whenever she talked about this.

It turns out that Dad never opposed them working in this industry; he just opposed them not achieving anything in it.

If I were Sakurai Itsuki
Her status at home would be completely reversed; her father would probably have to pour her tea and water.

"To be honest, I didn't know your father was such a famous producer in the industry. If Hase Hatsuna hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known."

The reason Sakurai Itsuki asked Eguchi Yuna for help was that he suddenly learned that Eguchi Yuna's father was a very famous producer in this world.

Although the bonus features provided by the club were quite successful, they were still essentially a bonus from the manga.

For film and television to truly become commercialized, a trustworthy producer and the distribution channels and resources that a producer brings are essential.

We can't rely on Shueisha for everything.

In that case, the company would essentially be a subsidiary of Shueisha, rather than a partner.

Shueisha has always taken good care of Sakurai Itsuki, and the company is generally considered to be quite honest in the industry. However, Sakurai Itsuki still doesn't want to see a scene where someone controls all his lifelines.

"Because his son and daughter are both involved in erotic activities, it's embarrassing for him. He forbids me from saying he's my father in public, and we don't want to mention this relationship. He doesn't even talk to my brother much anymore. I don't know how Hase Hatsuna found out."

Yuna Eguchi shrugged and sighed, "So, Miss really has a lot of courage. I certainly wouldn't dare to run away from home with you like that. You should cherish her."

"Aren't you a Wakaba supporter? By the way, don't you guys know too much? Did Hase Hatsuna tell you all this?"

Sakurai Itsuki had known about the group chat for a long time, but initially thought it was just a bunch of people gossiping quietly and that there was no real loss, so he ignored it.

But now it seems we understand it a little too thoroughly.

I need to find an opportunity to warn that guy again.

"Ah, does being a Wakaba shipper mean you can't support the young lady? Just like most players like both Setsuna and Touma, right? Otherwise, why would they feel so upset?"

After finishing her sentence, Eguchi Yuna patted Sakurai Itsuki on the shoulder. "Thinking about it this way, it's really hard to be a scumbag like you! If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do either! They're all people I genuinely like! Sigh, I wish I could accept them all!"

"If you don't know, don't gossip about other people's topics. I still need to think about showing up. You know, there are a lot of people on the internet who want to kill me. I don't want to be stabbed in the throat at the school gate one day."

Sakurai Itsuki needed to think about it some more. He couldn't guarantee that every real person he met offline would be a beautiful girl like Sato Wakaba.

"Heh, you think you can avoid the risk of being stabbed if you don't show your face?" A smile appeared on Eguchi Yuna's lips.

“If it’s troublesome for the school, you don’t actually need to come to class. When you graduate, just go through the motions, take a quick exam, and they’ll give you your diploma. The school won’t make things difficult for an ‘honorary alumnus’ like you. Besides, I always felt that you couldn’t hide it from them sooner or later.”

Yuna Eguchi continued to persuade Itsuki Sakurai.

In fact, many people in the industry already knew Sakurai Itsuki's true identity; as the saying goes, secrets can't be kept forever.

In the past, when I was just drawing comics and only interacting with comic editors, it was fine.

But now that Sakurai Itsuki is starting a company, and a multimedia project at that, she'll be coming into contact with more and more people, and sooner or later her true identity will be exposed.

"No rush, let me think about it some more. Also, how's the hiring going?"

Besides finding a producer.

Sakurai Itsuki also asked Eguchi Yuna a favor.

The team that created the bonus animation for "Your Lie in April" was comprised of upperclassmen and upperclasswomen that Yuna Eguchi recruited from her school.

Therefore, Sakurai Itsuki put her in charge of the daily management of that animation group, hoping to get them involved and keep them working full-time after graduation.

At the same time, we are trying to recruit more people.

Yuna Eguchi looked troubled when she talked about this, because part-time and full-time are two different things.

The students at this university are all top-tier academics from Tokyo.

During my student days, I was outstanding in both academic and professional studies among my peers, so it was hard not to feel proud and arrogant.

They were naturally unwilling to do basic work in such an unknown studio, so the work did not go smoothly.

Yuna Eguchi brought up the matter of making Itsuki Sakurai reveal his pseudonym again.

She said that the people in the animation team only knew him as Sakurai Itsuki, who made the game, and did not know the meaning of his other two identities.

If they knew that the boss they were following was a monster like Sakurai Itsuki, many of them would definitely be willing to stay, even if the treatment wasn't top-notch.

College students are like that; they're willing to follow people who are more famous and whose future seems brighter.

Sakurai Itsuki stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Soon, their conversation was coming to an end.

But the rain outside the pavilion had lessened considerably, turning from fine lines into sand.

Sakurai Itsuki reached out: "Give me the umbrella! Someone's urging me to go back and have some pork rib soup."

"Hey, I gave you the umbrella, what am I supposed to do now?" Yuna Eguchi asked.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Didn't you wear a coat? With this little bit of rain, you can just put the coat over your head and go back."

"You're a man, so what if you get soaked in this little bit of rain?"

Sakurai Itsuki laughed and said, "No, this dress was a gift from the young lady. It's very expensive, and I can't bear to get wet in it."

"You, you're disgusting! You deserve to be stabbed to death!"

Yuna Eguchi cursed, then handed the umbrella to Itsuki Sakurai.

"Just kidding. Why don't you hold the umbrella and take me home? I can also treat you to some soup made by my partner while we're at it."

"No, I want to live to be a hundred! Who are you anyway? How can you describe two completely different women as if they were your most beloved wives?" "Really?"

"Anyway, just be careful, boss. Here, take the umbrella. I'm going to the library anyway, it's not far. Don't tell Ruoye, this is my umbrella."

Sakurai Itsuki pushed open the door, and a rich fragrance filled the room.

"Ah, you're back."

Sato Wakaba was lying on the sofa, turning her face to look at Sakurai Itsuki.

Sakurai Itsuki probably hadn't noticed because of their usual habits, but after hearing what Eguchi Yuna said today, he really felt that the two of them were no different from an old married couple, except that they hadn't slept in the same bed and been intimate yet.

"Yes, you're back." Sakurai Itsuki nodded gently, just like a husband returning home from get off work, and said a classic line.

"I used the lotus seeds I bought at the duty-free shop in China last time. I don't know if they taste the same as the ones you described."

As she spoke, Sato Wakaba casually slipped into the kitchen in her slippers, turned off the heat, and served the soup.

Sakurai Itsuki casually grabbed a coat from Sato Wakaba on the sofa and draped it over his shoulders: "Now, even if you just give me a bowl of hot water, I'll think it tastes good."

Sato Wakaba looked at Sakurai Itsuki, who was wearing her women's coat, and said irritably, "Seriously, you don't even know to check the weather forecast before you go out. I really don't know how you managed to live alone before."

She then handed her a bowl of steaming soup.

Sakurai Itsuki took the soup and said, "That's all your fault. With someone as capable and considerate as you around, it's only natural to be spoiled into a useless person who can't live independently."

"Did something good happen to you today? Or did you do something wrong? Oh, watch out, it's hot."

Sato Wakaba was a little suspicious, feeling that he was unusually gentle today.

"Ugh, I can't drink this much, I'll drink it later." Sakurai Itsuki took a sip of soup, winced from the heat, and finally put the bowl down.

"Pfft, I already said it's hot! Seriously, do you expect me to blow on it and feed you like a child?" Sato Wakaba laughed when she saw him like that.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Is it that funny? I was just trying your soup as soon as possible so I could praise you, which is why I risked getting burned."

"I'm laughing because you're wearing my coat. Ah Shu, you might look pretty good in women's clothes. Do you want me to lend you my skirt? It would be really interesting!"
"Let me do your makeup, take a picture, and post it on Instagram. Maybe some guys will hit on you!"

Sato Wakaba squinted, flashing a bright smile that revealed her white teeth.

Seeing that she was still as quirky and mischievous as ever, Sakurai Itsuki thought about it and realized that he had indeed been worrying too much.

I was also influenced by Yuna Eguchi. How could someone as carefree and easygoing as her turn evil?

"Oh, this? It's because it's really cold outside, and I don't have time to go upstairs. Are you implying that you don't like me wearing your clothes?"

Sakurai Itsuki said this, but couldn't help wrapping his women's coat tighter around himself.

There was a fragrance emanating from her.

While complaining, Sato Wakaba turned around and opened the rice cooker to serve rice to the two of them: "Hmph, you've been playing dumb more and more lately. You say that, but you don't take your clothes off."

They've lived together for so long, how could they possibly care about something like this now?

Even when they occasionally watched movies in the living room during winter, they shared the same blanket, and she often draped his coat over herself.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Because you can't really mind, I'm just trying to find topics to talk to you about."

Sato Wakaba asked curiously, "If you get my coat dirty, I will! Why are you nagging like an old lady today?"

Sakurai Itsuki pouted: "See that umbrella?"

Sato Wakaba immediately guessed the owner of the umbrella: "Ah, a women's umbrella, it belongs to Yuna, right?"

While eating, Sakurai Itsuki said, "She told me not to tell you that this umbrella is hers! She said she was afraid you would stab her to death."

Sato Wakaba was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, what kind of logic is that?"

She said that, but deep down she understood Eguchi Yuna's logic.

She was afraid that she would be misunderstood by herself as having a secret rendezvous with Sakurai Itsuki behind her back.

Sigh, it's like the whole world knows how I feel, and the person on the other side knows it all too well, so why can't we take it any further?

"They say they're afraid you'll corrupt them, turning Wakaba into 'Kotoha,' and making them feel like mistresses and causing AOE damage. It's been determined to be something they did while playing galgames."

Sakurai Itsuki shrugged, not at all shying away from the topic.

She also said that a character like you, who is usually very cheerful but actually has a lot of ulterior motives, can be terrifying once he turns evil.

Sato Wakaba's eyes flickered slightly, and her smile became somewhat stiff: "No matter what, stabbing someone is a bit too much! Well, as a fan, I do sometimes want to stab you, but it's all just for fun. I've never even slapped you properly, have I?"

Aren't you going to give out "friend zone" cards today?

"Sakurai Itsuki asked."

Logically, shouldn't you say something like, "I have nothing to do with you, don't misunderstand that I'm dating someone else, and don't presume to treat someone else as a mistress, your self-consciousness is excessive!" and shut yourself down?

"Hey~ no! Giving out hair clips is about expressing your own will. You think I should just give them to you? Wouldn't that make giving out hair clips your own will?"

Sato Wakaba pouted slightly.

She had no intention of giving him a card today, or rather, she no longer wanted to do such a thing, even if it was just a joke.

"Oh, right, I've been thinking, I might want to reveal my true identity," Sakurai Itsuki suddenly said while eating.

"Huh? Why? Didn't you say it would be a lot of trouble?" Sato Wakaba asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, it was Eguchi Yuna who persuaded me, saying that the news would leak sooner or later anyway, and this way the company could quickly gain a foothold and start making a profit quickly."

After thinking it over, Sakurai Itsuki also made a decision.

"Oh, that's right. Once you announce the news, you'll definitely become the hottest new star! You'll be so popular it's unimaginable! That's awesome! Now everyone just wants to know just how amazing you are!"

Sato Wakaba clapped her hands happily, but a feeling of disappointment, which she disliked, welled up inside her.

"At that time, there will definitely be a lot of orders, and we will definitely make a lot of money!"

Sato Wakaba tried her best to use her acting skills to cover up her true feelings.

Sakurai Itsuki nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm sure I'll get busier and busier with work."

Sato Wakaba asked, "Is there anything I can do to help with work lately?"

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Apart from that, there's nothing for now. Just rest well and enjoy the campus."

Sato Wakaba nodded and said, "That's wonderful! We should celebrate! I want some cake!"

After her identity is revealed, there will likely be more and more jobs that she can't handle.

Everyone will become more and more dazzling.

irritating.

Why can't things always stay like this?

Why can't she always leave a place for herself by his side?

Yuna Eguchi is right. I am a seemingly cheerful person on the surface, but I have a lot of hidden thoughts and am extremely selfish!
"Why do you want cake again?"

"You won't buy it for me? I'll stab you to death, you jerk!"

"You're getting more and more unreasonable, Miss Wakaba!"

"I can't help it, I'm just an annoying guy! *sigh*" (End of Chapter)
