As the link between various stages, the production process is not irreplaceable, but the sudden loss of six people will inevitably cause problems.

Wait, where did these six people come from?

There are only two.

Masamune pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"A newcomer can't be in charge of two episodes at the same time, so we need two production teams."

"Can't we transfer two people from other departments within the company? For example, the security department or the front desk."

Kinoshita Seiichi lowered his head and began to think seriously, saying as he pondered:

"The security department is mostly composed of veterans, so it's practically impossible for them to go there."

"As for the front desk, it mainly handles reception work for the firm."

“Their jobs are very leisurely, and people who have become accustomed to a lazy lifestyle will find it difficult to adapt to such busy production work when they are suddenly transferred here.”

"However, it wouldn't hurt to ask. I'll go downstairs and ask later."

"Oh, right! We can spare someone from the cleaning staff."

Cleaning?

Although it was his own suggestion, Masamune's worries only increased.

"If it really doesn't work out, let's postpone it until April next year. Anyway, we have the Seitokai Yakuindomo anime this winter, so we won't lose money."

"No, I'll go downstairs and ask!"

Kinoshita Seiichi left in a hurry, and his agile steps surprised Masamune somewhat. Could someone with such a fat physique run so fast?

Twenty minutes later, while Masamune was listening to Yuka Okitsu report on the sales and revenue of the anime Blu-rays, Seiichi Kinoshita walked in with two young women.

Compared to his earlier anxiety and unease, he now appeared much more composed.

"President, this is about all the revenue we have for the third quarter. Your dividend should be credited to your account around the 10th."

"it is good."

Masamune nodded slightly, then turned to look at Kinoshita Seiichi, who was waiting.

"Director Kinoshita, are these the production assistants you found?"

"That's right. President, let me introduce you."

Seiichi Kinoshita turned slightly to the side, revealing two young women behind him:

"This is our company's receptionist, Izumi Akazawa. She is 22 years old and just graduated from university."

"This is Mizuki Usami, the cleaning lady. She is 18 years old and is responsible for cleaning floors 13 to 18."

Masamune looked at the two of them curiously. Akazawa Izumi had long, dark red hair draped over her shoulders. She was beautiful and had a mature demeanor. It seemed like a waste for her to work as a receptionist.

As for Usami Mizuki...

"Ms. Usami, I remember you were interviewing for an illustrator position six months ago, right? I offered you an animation position back then, so how did you end up as a cleaner?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'm really not good at drawing anime characters. I've tried many times, but I still can't draw them well, so I can only go and clean the house."

Usami Mizuki pouted, her heart filled with resentment.

Before, I was a very good artist in the school's art department, but after joining the animation production company, I kept failing.

Compared to Subaru (Uchimaki Subaru), who has excellent drawing skills, he is simply not in the same league.

"I see... So do you know what kind of work is done in the production department?"

"Of course I know! For the past six months, I've been observing the animation production process, trying to find a job that truly suits me. After all, although the salary isn't low, cleaning and such jobs seem like jobs for older women, and I'm embarrassed to mention them when I meet up with friends."

Masamune chuckled and shook his head slightly.

This person entered the animation industry with impure motives, having pursued someone they secretly admired all along, and is actually not very suited to this industry.

However, since even Taro Takanashi could be recruited as a production assistant, one more wouldn't make a difference.

"Alright, the production work is very hard, I hope you can persevere for at least three months instead of giving up halfway."

"Izumi Akazawa, why do you want to be the production manager?"

Akazawa Izumi hesitated for a few seconds, then said softly:

"After graduating from university, I didn't know what to do for the time being. I happened to see Musashino's job posting online and impulsively came here."

"I've been here for almost half a year, so I have some understanding of the animation production process."

"I think the work being done is very meaningful."

Clearly, this is just superficial talk.

Even so, it's impossible to force the other party to tell the truth.

"Welcome to the animation production industry. I hope you can stick with it," Masamune said with a smile.

......

After dinner, Masamune, who had been busy all day, planned to sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while to relax.

Turning her head, she noticed Mashiro standing silently between herself and the TV, holding her phone. She couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

"Xiao Zheng has dropped to second place."

"I read this issue of JUMP. Eiji Niizuma drew a climax scene. Our manga is currently in a transitional phase, so it's inevitable that we won't be able to compete with each other."

"I want to be number one."

"No cartoonist can stay in number one forever."

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Masamune could only sigh softly.

"In that case, shall we go out for a walk to clear our heads and perhaps find some inspiration?"

"where to?"

"Let's just walk around the area. Of course, if there's anything you'd like to do, I can go with you."

"A concert, by K-On!"

Even if you say that, there's no concert today, is there?

As they were talking, Masamune suddenly thought of a question.

The five members of K-On! are currently recording an album, and their tour has not yet started.

However, the female voice actresses from Oregairu have been participating in various anime promotional activities, singing opening and ending themes as well as character songs.

Although there was no direct confrontation, both being anime produced by Musashino, there was some friction between them.

It seems there's a performance tonight.

"Yui Hirasawa and the others are practicing singing hard for their album release, so there are no concerts for now. But the voice actresses from Oregairu are singing today. Want to go? Mashiro."

"Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama?"

"Not the character himself, just the voice actor who plays the character."

"Sure. Will they actually go?"

"Probably not. However, if you want to meet the main character in person, I can send a text message to Hachiman and invite him to come along."

"No male lead."

Masamune chuckled softly to himself, thinking:

This is prejudice. Why is the male protagonist always disliked?

It seems to be the same online; compared to the male protagonist, Hikigaya, Yukinoshita and Yui are more popular.

Of course, this is also because only one episode of the anime has aired, and Hachiman's charm has not yet been fully revealed.

Personally, Masamune actually prefers Hikigaya.

Chapter Sixty-Two: In Reality, I Already Have the Ability to Help Her

In early November, after a six-show tour across multiple cities, all five members of K-On! were extremely exhausted.

On a weekend evening, the five of them gathered in the hotel room of Hirasawa Yui and Nakano Azusa.

Hirasawa Yui lay on her back on the bed, her whole body forming a large "X" shape.

"Ah... I've burned out."

“Me too.” Sitting next to her was Ritsu Tainaka, who was also extremely tired and kept yawning.

"Is this the last concert?"

Akiyama Mio clenched her fists slightly, feeling somewhat worried.

Despite numerous positive reviews online, there were also many negative comments about their singing and playing skills.

In two days, the album will go on sale. If it doesn't sell 10 copies in the first month, the Budokan can forget about it.

"By the way! What time is it now?" Hirasawa Yui suddenly stood up and asked hurriedly.

"Around 7 o'clock."

"Oh no! If I don't turn on the TV quickly, I'll miss episode 5."

Upon hearing this, the group snapped out of their daze. Some ran to turn on the TV, while others went to make tea or grab snacks.

They turned on the TV, tuned to a familiar channel, and saw the advertisements on the screen. All five of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon after, as the time on TV reached 7:30, episode 5 of K-On! began airing on time.

Hirasawa Yui, who injured her finger while practicing guitar, went to the faculty office to explain the situation to Yamanaka Sawako. As she was leaving, she suddenly learned from Kotobuki Tsumugi that the light music club had not yet been recognized as an official club.

After a moment of panic and confusion, the four of them went to the student council together, where they learned from Manabe that the Light Music Club had never actually submitted a club application and did not have an advisor.

"So the upperclassmen sat in the light music club from spring to autumn without ever noticing this?"

"Ha ha......"

Ritsu Tainaka chuckled dryly for a moment, then clasped his hands together and whispered:
