Tomoyo Sakagami let out a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves gradually relaxing, followed by a surge of anger.

Why would you tell such a lie? Do you know how worried I was about you?

"I'm sorry, President Hayase spent a lot of money to manually recreate the cherry blossom path in Hikari-zaka Town back then, and I also wanted you to see this place."

Sakagami Takafumi looked back and forth between the cherry blossom trees on both sides, then asked with a smile:

"How is it? Does seeing this cherry blossom path make you feel better?"

"Absolutely not, all I want to do right now is hit someone." Tomoyo Sakagami clenched her fists coldly.

Sakagami Takafumi quickly took a step back, looking around anxiously, because he knew that his sister really would hit someone.

Upon seeing this, Masamune and the Musashino screenwriting team, who had been waiting behind the cherry blossom tree for a long time, slowly walked out.

“Ms. Tomoyo, I am Midori Imai, who contacted you before. I am a member of the Musashino screenwriting department. Do you remember me?”

"So it was you who instigated Yingwen?"

Tomoyo Sakagami glanced at the neat rows of cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the street and pondered:

"If I'm not mistaken, these trees should all have been recently transplanted. Is it worth going to such lengths just to get me here?"

"If it can bring a smile back to Ms. Tomoyo's face, it's worth any amount of money."

Noticing Tomoyo Sakagami's look of disgust, Masamune smiled and said:

"Yingwen, you must have something else to say, right?"

Sakagami Takafumi remained silent for a long time before finally sighing:

"Sorry, sister."

“A few years ago, I couldn’t stand the cold atmosphere at home, so after graduating from high school, I ran away from the small town. I didn’t consider your feelings at all, and I only thought about myself.”

"In the years that followed, I looked for many jobs and eventually settled down."

“If President Hayase hadn’t brought it up, I… actually had no intention of contacting my hometown again.”

"In my heart, my sister has always been that cold and heartless person."

"However, after reading the script, I realized that my sister had also made all sorts of efforts, but... just like me, she chose to give up after failing."

"Anyway, well... I'm sorry."

Sakagami Tomoyo subconsciously clenched her fist, wanting to hit him, but after raising her arm, she hesitated and then lowered it again.

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

Sakagami Takafumi thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"Gone."

Upon noticing that Tomoyo Sakagami seemed about to turn and leave, Masamune quickly stepped forward:

"Wait a minute, Ms. Tomoyo, we still need to discuss the animation and game production with you. If you don't mind, would you like to come to Musashino to discuss it in detail? It's very close, just a few steps away."

"Not interested in."

"In the game's Tomoyo Sakagami route, the heroine is you. If you weren't involved, we might have gone wild and written it in a completely different way."

"Do as you please, I don't care."

Upon noticing her indifferent expression, Masamune carefully recalled Sakagami Tomoyo's past, mentally putting himself in her shoes and quickly began to ponder.

If you were Tomoyo Sakagami, what would you most like to hear in this moment and in this situation?

"Ms. Tomoyo, would you like to go back in time and start all over again?"

“I can bring your parents to Tokyo. Even if they are divorced, I can get them to come back together and the four of you can live together again.”

"It's just a matter of spending more money. For example, first make them unemployed, then let them spend all their savings, and then they'll only have the option of going back."

Noticing that Tomoyo Sakagami's expression had become unusually gloomy, Masamune changed the subject and said:

"However, I think you probably don't need it."

"So you're just regretting your past failures and unwilling to take the first step forward again."

Tomoyo Sakagami stopped in her tracks, looked coldly at Masamune, and slowly spoke:

"What? Do you find it satisfying to reopen old wounds? Or do you think I have no other choice but to agree to your demands?"

“No, it’s just… since you know in your heart that your current lifestyle is abnormal, why not try to start over?” Masamune sighed softly.

"And then what? Getting married and having children like ordinary people, is that what a normal life is? Not wanting to work, not wanting to get married, wanting to live a quiet life alone, why is that a abnormal life?"

Masamune was speechless. How many setbacks had this person gone through to develop this kind of personality?

However, the fact that she rushed to Tokyo immediately after receiving the call shows that she still cares a lot about her family.

"I have no intention of discussing with you what constitutes a normal life. Since you are so stubborn, let's not talk about feelings, let's just talk about benefits."

"According to Okazaki Tomoya's deduction, you don't have a formal job and, like him before, you're making a living by doing odd jobs."

"I earn a living for a day, then rest for several days. When the money runs out, I go back to work."

“I don’t know what kind of work you do, but the wages for short-term workers are usually 800 yen per hour. If you work 10 hours a day, that’s 8000 yen.”

"Given your lifestyle, it's impossible for you to work every day. If you work half the time, your monthly income should be 12 yen."

"Just food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and maybe some cheap liquor, 12 yen is more than enough."

“I’ll give you 20 yen a month. You’re 23 years old this year. Assuming you live to 80, you have 58 more years to live.”

"Based on this calculation, your lifetime income should be 140 million."

"I'll give you a signing fee of 150 million to buy the rest of your life, how about it?"

Sakagami Tomoyo was both angry and amused, and couldn't help but ask:

"Putting aside whether your calculations are correct or not, do you think I care about these things?"

"Of course you don't care, but you can't live without money, otherwise you wouldn't have to go out to do odd jobs."

"Ha... I enjoy indulging in self-degradation, that's my own problem, what's it to you? Why do you, as unrelated people, have the right to criticize other people's lifestyles?"

Even a financial offensive won't work?

Seeing her continue forward, intending to leave without looking back, Masamune fell silent.

Chapter 131 Can you please stop interrupting me?

Using reverse psychology? No, that's too risky; using it rashly could easily lead to problems.

Judging from the current situation, it will probably allow her to move faster and faster.

Using her weaknesses to coerce her? But she has already given up on herself, so she obviously doesn't care about her own weaknesses.

After a moment's thought, the game plot I had previously written suddenly came to mind.

"There is no need for a reason to fall into depravity, but there must be a reason not to fall into depravity."

Sakagami Tomoyo subconsciously stopped and turned back to stare intently at Masamune.

"Miss Tomoyo, the reason you've given up on yourself is because you feel you have nothing, that nobody in the world cares about you, and that it doesn't matter what you do, right?"

"I believe that in addition to family and friendship, self-love is also very important."

Finding that she not only remained unmoved but also quickened her pace, Masamune sighed helplessly:

"Honestly, if only I had met you in high school, I could have won a girl's heart by helping you become student council president and protect the cherry blossom path. Unlike now, it's so hard to convince someone who's fallen into depravity again."

"You're a 23-year-old adult, can't you be a little more mature?"

"I'm sorry for being immature," Tomoyo Sakagami said coldly. "Do you think you know everything?"

"No, I just happen to know some of your past experiences."

Masamune quickly caught up with her and whispered:

"I want to keep the cherry blossom path that my younger brother loves, so I transfer to Hikari-zaka Academy and join the student council."

"Although it didn't work out in the end, you did a great job."

“These things are written very clearly in the script. Your brother has read the script and knows all of this very well.”

"Although you are an insignificant, unrelated person, I am here on behalf of everyone in Hikari-zaka Town, including your younger brother, to say thank you..."

“Since they are unimportant and irrelevant people, there’s no need for you to thank me.” Tomoyo Sakagami stopped again, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, “The script…can I take a look at it?”

"Of course, let's go to Musashino to discuss this in detail."

......

Back in Musashino, in the conference hall, Tomoyo Sakagami held a script as thick as a book and slowly flipped through it.

Seeing that she was becoming increasingly engrossed in watching, Midori Imai moved closer to Masamune and whispered:

"Senior, how did you convince Tomoyo?"

"It's not a success yet. We've only sparked her interest in the script so far, and we still need to keep working on it."

Masamune sighed softly. Compared to previous ones like Tomiyuki Yuta, Hachiman Hikigaya, and the K-On! Five, this one was far too difficult to persuade.

"Senior, are you sure she won't be angry after reading the script?"

"Why get angry? There's nothing bad in the story."

Ultimately, this was a pre-made, all-ages game created to promote the anime.

As for the plot, there's nothing I can't tell others.

As the pages were turned, very soft sobs suddenly filled the conference room.

Turning my head, I saw Tomoyo Sakagami wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

But he seemed too engrossed in reading, his gaze fixed entirely on the script, completely oblivious to the movements of others.

After a long while, Tomoyo Sakagami put down the script in her hand and, when she came to her senses, realized that she was already in tears.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

"It's okay. Most of the women in our company cried when they read this script."

Masamune paused for a moment, then asked again:
