Upon discovering that the document was marked "Top Secret" at the very beginning, Masamune looked astonished and immediately picked up his phone to dial the number of the detective he regularly contacted.

"Detective Kuroda, what's the situation with the top-secret information?"

"I see, I understand now. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Don't worry, I won't leak the contents of the document."

? ?

Seeing Masamune hang up the phone, Umaru Doma couldn't help but ask:

"what's the situation?"

"Detective Kuroda said that when he was leading the investigation of the Sanzenin family, he was warned by the old master of the Sanzenin family over the phone. The contents of the document involve the privacy of the Sanzenin family and contain a lot of information that is inconvenient to disclose to the public, so it must be kept strictly confidential."

"...So that's why we didn't use email to send it?"

"Yes, emails are not as secure as paper documents."

"But sending it by courier, it's not exactly confidential, is it?"

“Detective Kuroda said that he sent his assistant to disguise himself as a deliveryman and deliver it secretly, so that the Sanzenin family would never be able to contact me.”

"..."

Doma Umaru was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening, and a strange smile appeared on his face:

"It turned out to be a fake delivery, but... this is such a hassle!"

"Indeed. After all, the Sanzenin family is very powerful, and investigations are inherently secretive. He probably doesn't want people to know that I commissioned him to investigate. Or perhaps he doesn't want me to think that he might betray his client."

"...I see. Since the Sanzenin family is so powerful, do they still need to produce anime?"

"Of course. I have no intention of smearing them, and the anime will not involve the secrets of the Sanzenin family."

As they spoke, Masamune picked up the documents and casually flipped through them.

There are four documents in total, divided by the characters required for the animation script. The first document is for all the characters involved in Hayate the Combat Butler.

Sanzenin Nagi is 14 years old and a second-year student at Hakuou Academy High School.

The sole heir to the Sanzenin Foundation, he was coveted by both inside and outside the foundation due to his grandfather's advanced age, and had been the target of assassination attempts since childhood.

Many people who deliberately approached her harbored malice. Since childhood, the only people she trusted in her family were her grandfather, the maid Maria, and the butler Klaus.

Himegami, the butler who is always by her side, seems to have ulterior motives, and the two do not have a good relationship.

The document only offers some speculation about Himekami's intentions, suggesting that she approached Himekami intentionally to steal treasure, and that she continues to search for something at the Sanzenin residence year after year.

The document also mentions that many years ago, Sanzenin Nagi's mother married a thief who came to steal treasure from their home, and both died young. As a result, the entire Sanzenin family looked down on Himegami, which caused many conflicts between the two sides.

'This is incredibly detailed. No wonder Elder Sanzenin warned them. If it were someone with malicious intent, this information alone could cause the Sanzenin family a lot of trouble.'

Just then, he noticed Umaru approaching, and Masamune smiled as he handed her the document.

"Here, take a look, it won't hurt."

"May I?"

"Just remember to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone."

At this moment, Masamune fell into deep thought.

What content is unsuitable for inclusion in animation to avoid negatively impacting Nagi Sanzenin?

First of all, the cause of death of Sanzenin Nagi's mother definitely needs to be kept secret, but some romance can be interspersed.

It is common knowledge that the old man of Sanzenin is getting on in years and that there is no one to carry on his family line, so there is no need to mention it deliberately; just a brief mention will suffice.

This world is ultimately different from the manga; there are no royal jades or royal gardens. The Sanzenin family is just a large conglomerate.

There seems to be a secret treasure, but it looks like it's just some old antiques and doesn't involve any extraordinary power.

However, perhaps due to the excessive and complex blend of worldviews, the Sanzenin family is not the undisputed absolute hegemon depicted in the manga, with many conglomerates capable of rivaling them.

This created a problem, making the Sanzenin family even more beset by internal and external troubles.

After flipping through a few pages, Doma Umaru sighed:

"The lives of the rich don't seem to be all that great."

"This is simply because the old man Sanzenin is getting old. Since ancient times, an old king and a young heir, with a weak ruler and a strong minister, has always been a source of chaos."

"...President, may I take a look at the script?"

"no problem."

? ?

"Butler, volleyball, sumo, and Toradora! Are these the four anime series we're producing next season?"

"Yes."

"President, if I remember correctly, you mentioned not long ago that you were going to produce 'Eve of Fate' next quarter, right?"

"If I remember correctly, what was said at the time was that it could be done or not."

"It seems so?"

"We originally intended to do it, but after Weber read the script, he said there were problems with our settings. He criticized everything from the weapons and equipment, the architectural style to the way people spoke, saying that as a teacher, he would never allow artificial history to be fabricated, as it would easily corrupt children."

“I see.” Doma Umaru chuckled unconsciously. “That’s exactly what Mr. Weber would do. So, he decided to revise the script himself?”

“That’s right. He took the initiative to take the task, saying he would spend two months researching and would not allow such a basic mistake to happen around him.”

"Should we postpone production by one season, and then produce it the season after that?"

"Probably, it depends on when he can finish revising it. Hopefully, he can improve it."

Masamune would naturally not refuse workers who offered themselves up.

During their casual conversation, Masamune saw the results of the subsequent investigation.

Taiga Aisaka, formerly known as Taiga Takasu, has completely severed ties with her parents for various reasons.

She has three children...

The Takasu family is in poor financial condition, so obtaining authorization shouldn't be difficult. However, the man has to earn money to support the family, and the woman has to take care of three children, so they obviously don't have time for voice acting.

In that case, let's have the voice actors dub Toradora!

Perfect timing! Let's find a way to get Nagi Sanzenin to do the voice acting. A triple Sanzenin voice acting, that sounds pretty interesting.

Moreover, Nagi Sanzenin's personality is similar to that of Taiga Aisaka in high school, so there's no need to worry about acting skills; she can simply play herself.

"Umaru, I'm planning to go see Nagi Sanzenin this afternoon, do you want to come along?"

"Hmm...? Why are you looking for me?"

"As fellow otaku, you two have a lot in common and should have plenty to talk about. Also, I'm planning to ask Nagi Sanzenin to voice the female lead in these two anime, which means she'll be doing voice acting part-time. I might need you to come and give me your opinion."

"Hmm... Shall I try to persuade Sanzenin Nagi?"

"Let's play mixed doubles. There are some things I'm not comfortable saying, but since we're both homebodies, your words carry more weight."

"I'm no longer a homebody."

"?"

"I have a job, so I'm an otaku."

"Haha... Okay, let's go together this afternoon."

"No problem." Doma Umaru put down his script at the right moment and asked with a smile, "What time this afternoon? Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Let's leave at 2 p.m., she should be home by then."

"President, for shut-ins, the daily routines of ordinary people are completely unusable as a reference."

"Makes sense."

"Getting her authorization shouldn't be a problem. But getting her to do voice acting, I feel like she might not agree. So, does the president have any materials that can ensure she won't refuse?"

"How did you learn this move too? Let me think... If a direct attack doesn't work, a flanking attack is a good idea."

Masamune pondered for a moment, then said:

"Let's use this information as a gift to do her a favor. Grandpa Sanzenin knows a lot about many things, but Nagi Sanzenin probably doesn't."

"Especially information about her father, the Sanzenin family should have kept it a secret from her."

"In short, take the script, contract, and this document with you this afternoon, and then we'll see how things go."

Chapter 369 A Husky Has Sneaked into the Cat Pack

"The plot of this light novel is not bad, and the setting is also very good, but the writing is terrible. In order to avoid the female lead being overshadowed, other popular characters are forcibly written out. Thumbs down!"

Sanzenin Nagi casually tossed aside the light novel in her hand, sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish, turned on the TV with the remote, and then used another remote to control the DVD player below, starting to replay the anime she had watched last week.

Today is Saturday. Last weekend, episode 50 of Clannad aired, marking the complete end of the main series.

The two episodes tomorrow night should be OVAs unrelated to the main story, choosing a point in time during high school where all the characters are present, or perhaps even other storylines from the game.

However, all of that is no longer important.

In her heart, this anime had already come to an end with the reunion of Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa on the cherry blossom path during their high school years.

To be honest, when she saw the second half of the story, she cried very hard and even asked Maria to go find Xiaoxi.

Knowing that Xiaoxi was still alive and living happily with her family in reality, I completely relaxed and even had a beautiful dream that night.

"As far as anime is concerned, C.L.K. is really good, but the plot is too sad. Relatively speaking, K-On! is more comfortable to watch."

Pressing the remote control repeatedly brought up the content from the afternoon of the event that had just ended.

The five winners will perform on stage with CL's voice actors, which is also the most important part of the event.

[...Next, please listen to my favorite song from CL, "Little Palms"...]

Upon hearing the familiar voice of Nagisa Furukawa's voice actress, Nagi Sanzenin froze on the spot.

Every time she hears this song, she feels a pang of heartache, and it makes her think of her parents.

My father passed away 14 years ago. I had never met him since I was born, and he was rarely mentioned in my family.

Nine years ago, her mother passed away. She rarely mentions her father, but every time she does, she has a smile on her face.
