"May I ask for your thoughts, Ms. Tomoyo? For example, which part particularly moved you?"

"Let's talk about Okazaki Shio's part."

Tomoyo Sakagami instinctively reached for her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then put her hand down again.

“I saw Xiaoxi going to school when I was strolling around the street before, and I didn’t feel that she had any illness.”

"How much overlap is there between the script and reality? How is she doing now in reality?"

“She has congenital heart disease and has already undergone surgery. She is currently recuperating in the hospital and will be discharged in about two weeks,” Masamune added. “If you want to visit her, I can drive you there later.”

"Forget it, we didn't know her anyway. Knowing she's still alive is enough."

Tomoyo Sakagami sighed softly.

It turns out that I wasn't the only one who was unhappy.

Looking back now, I think the reason Okazaki had the money to treat his daughter was probably because he sold his past stories.

"Yingwen, are you still in contact with Henanzi?"

"No. It's been years since I last saw you. I only remembered you existed after I read the script."

"Don't you have any plans to contact her again?"

"Absolutely not."

"That's it..."

Adult emotions are not as pure as those of teenagers.

Moreover, having no experience in this area, I am not qualified to give him any pointers.

"I thought it was just a story that borrowed my name, set in Hikari-zaka High School, and was just a random creation. I never expected it to be like this."

"Now, are you interested in getting involved, Ms. Tomoyo?" Masamune asked quickly.

"Well, I'm not that interested. The past is the past; if you keep dwelling on it, you can't grow."

"Everyone understands this principle, but understanding and doing are two completely different things."

At this point, Tomoyo Sakagami hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:

"I have no favorite things, no one I care about, and it doesn't matter where I live."

"In that case, staying in Tokyo might not be such a bad idea, right?"

"That's not what I meant. Unlike in high school, I've been living a life without goals for a long time, so even if I were suddenly asked to get back on track..."

"Please rest assured that, apart from coordinating the production of games and animations, you can arrange your work hours freely. Even if you want to stay at home and communicate entirely by phone, that's fine too."

"Home..."

"If you're worried about accommodation, we can help you. Staff dormitories, hotels, rented apartments, or even my home are all fine. We'll cover the costs, and in addition, we'll provide you with corresponding compensation, either monthly or per visit."

"I didn't mention that. Although there aren't many people, things, or events that I particularly care about, having spent so much time in that small town, I've developed some attachment to it..."

“If you miss your hometown, we can take more photos in Hikari-zaka town, enlarge them to scale, and put them on every wall of your room.”

"Could you please stop interrupting me?" Tomoyo Sakagami stood up and couldn't help but say, "Fine, I agree, okay?"

Upon seeing this, Midori Imai and the others burst into laughter.

"Senior, I think... Ms. Tomoyo already decided to agree the moment she finished reading the script, right?"

“That’s right, the president is too hasty. At least let her finish speaking.” Mai Jun shook her head with a smile. “Now that Ms. Sakagami has agreed to join, the script improvement work for the Sakagami Tomoyo route in the game can officially begin.”

Masamune smiled and shifted his gaze to Tomoyo Sakagami:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Tomoyo."

"The game has a multi-line structure, and we will do our best to make the Tomoyo Sakagami route the best it can be. The anime, on the other hand, has a single line, and we will make the Nagisa Furukawa route the main story and treat the Tomoyo Sakagami route as a side story."

"The work you'll be doing generally includes assisting with storyboarding, music selection, voice acting, scriptwriting, and so on."

Why do you seem like you'll be very busy?

But having already agreed, Tomoyo Sakagami naturally wouldn't go back on her word.

"it is good."

Chapter 132 The Cherry Blossom Viewing Party at the End of March

The last day of March 2015.

After all the work was arranged, most of the employees in Musashino, except for those on vacation, were given two days of special leave arranged by the company and went to Hakone Town in Kanagawa Prefecture through a unified arrangement.

This is a famous hot spring town and health resort, and at the end of March, the seasonal cherry blossoms are naturally a must-see.

Inside the park where cherry blossoms were in full bloom, seeing Hayase Kinue laying out a carpet, Sakagami Tomoyo couldn't resist going over to help.

Although she considers herself a "degenerate" good-for-nothing, her overly serious personality makes it impossible for her to live with others without doing anything and silently accepting their care.

With Tomoyo Sakagami's assistance, Kinue Hayase quickly laid out numerous food boxes containing cakes, sandwiches, handmade pastries, teacups, and various beverages and fruit wines on the carpet.

"Tomoyo is so strong. If it were just the three of us, we definitely wouldn't be able to carry all this stuff."

"Your skills are also very good. The desserts you made are very beautiful and match the color of the cherry blossoms perfectly."

"Oh right! Oh right, didn't your younger brother Yingwen come over? Didn't he help you move your things earlier?"

Hearing Hayase Kinue's enthusiastic voice, Sakagami Tomoyo felt a warmth rise in her heart.

In her past life, she had almost never been treated so warmly, so much so that she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Yingwen is busy with work and said he has already taken all his leave for this month, so he can't come over."

"Aunt Juanjiang, can I really live with you?"

"Besides, taking a day off after only working... feels a bit strange."

“Tomoyo, you don’t need to worry about these little things at all,” Hayase Kinue said with a smile. “Sōkun and Mashiro are so serious when they’re working that they’re always immersed in their own world and you can’t wake them up no matter what. Sometimes I do feel lonely when I’m alone in the empty living room.”

"It feels very comfortable to have more people eating together at home."

"Compared to eating alone, food tastes much better when eaten with others."

At this point, noticing Masamune and Mashiro approaching with their sketchbooks, Hayase Kinue quickly waved:

"Zong-jun, over here!"

"They're here." Masamune placed the easel aside. "Are you all ready?"

"Of course, Tomoyo is very strong. One of her is as strong as three of me."

Hayase Kinue smiled and waved, then said:

"Ever since Mashiro came to our house, Muneko has started drawing again. I wonder what new changes will occur?"

As she said this, she secretly glanced at Tomoyo Sakagami, her face full of smiles.

Upon noticing that Mashiro had suddenly grabbed his hand, Masamune leaned close to her ear in surprise and whispered:

"what happened?"

"I don't know, my right hand suddenly stopped obeying me," Mashiro said softly.

Masamune chuckled and then asked:

"The scenery here is beautiful. Is there anything you'd like to draw on your journey so far?"

"Still observing, what about you?"

"Me too."

As they were talking, Masamune noticed that the people around him had already laid out carpets and were looking in their direction.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up, paused briefly to gather his thoughts, and then spoke in a loud voice:

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work in the first quarter!"

"Whether it's 'You Lied in April,' which started production last year and continued into this year, or 'Chuunibyou' and 'Barakamon,' which only started production in January of this year, they are all quite interesting."

"Work hard when you're working, and play hard when you're resting."

"Today is the first time that Musashino has held a cherry blossom viewing party. In addition to employees from various departments of Musashino, many employees' family members are also attending."

"On this grand occasion, all I want to say is, have fun! Don't hold back, forget about your position, seniority, etc., just enjoy yourself."

"Everyone knows the meeting agenda: we work in small groups, enjoying cherry blossoms and shopping during the day, and soaking in hot springs at night."

"That's all I wanted to say. Please have a pleasant holiday while respecting public order and paying attention to safety."

After Kinoshita Shisei stood up, he asked with a hint of excitement:

"President, shall we raise a glass together? This is a rare and wonderful event; it's the first time I've ever enjoyed cherry blossoms with so many people I know."

"Well... let's not drink in this kind of situation, shall we?" Masamune sighed speechlessly. "The number of people is too spread out, and there's no need to raise a glass at the same time. In short, if you have someone you want to drink with, drink alone with them."

"Indeed, then let me toast you first, President."

"I don't want to drink alcohol today, but if you don't mind, I'll have fruit wine instead."

"How could that be? Toasting is just a ceremony."

Kinoshita Seiichi smiled, and the two then raised their glasses and clinked them together in a gesture of respect.

As he put down his teacup, he noticed Tomoyo Sakagami quietly refilling it for him. Curious, Masamune sat down again and couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Tomoyo seems to have become much gentler than before?"

"Really?" Tomoyo Sakagami looked puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and muttered softly, "Probably because I was wary of you before?"

"Is it gone now?"

"Ah."

"Just asking, I don't think I've done anything that would make you so wary, have I?"

"A man who asks you to spend money to buy the rest of your life on the first meeting, isn't he worth being highly wary of?" Tomoyo Sakagami chuckled.

boom!

Hayase Kinue suddenly tapped Masamune on the head, then pouted and said:

"Zong-kun, you can't say things like that to girls. If you become a bullying child, Mom will be very sad."
