Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Yes, that's right."

Before each trip to Tianming, it was arguably the time when Nangong Yu was most agreeable, and she could practically ask them for anything.

Seeing Seele already lost in her fantasies, Bronya sneered inwardly: "It's true you want to tie up Rain, but after that, who'll be the next one to be tied up and played with?"

Meanwhile, when Bronya wasn't looking, Seele quietly took out her phone: "Brother, Sister Bronya said... Seele has pretended to agree. Is there anything Seele needs to do?"

After a while, Seele and Bronya exchanged a glance and smiled at each other like best friends: "Then it's decided~" *2

However, neither of them noticed the subtle smile that crept onto Kaguya's lips as she remained silent to the side.

......

"You're here! How are you feeling?"

Upon seeing Nangong Yu arrive, Sugisaki Ken quickly cleared a large space at his workstation, pulled up a chair, and used it as a small meeting room.

"The optimized UI is very good; it looks quite simple and beautiful."

"This is all thanks to Gretchen."

He waved his hand, Sugisaki Ken not taking any credit.

"That child is indeed a genius in art."

It's a pity that he got so obsessed with doujinshi that he completely went astray.

After muttering a complaint to herself, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Since the test has been completed without any problems, we don't need to wait too long. Let's launch it next Monday. The publicity plan was finalized a few days ago. We'll start building momentum tomorrow, and then proceed according to plan."

Today is Wednesday. He needs to go to Tianming for three or four days, and he can come back on Monday.

"Okay, you make the decision."

He naturally had no objection to Nangong Yu's words. Sugisaki Ken continued, "Is that Touhou Project scheduled for the end of the year?"

"Okay, let's set it for New Year's Day, that's a holiday then."

"Okay, then let's include this in the promotional materials."

The Touhou Project, unlike its previous meaning, is a fan convention specifically for Gensokyo, similar to the Reitaisai Festival at Hakurei Shrine.

Exhibitors must create derivative works related to Gensokyo Inc.'s IPs, making it a grand carnival for Gensokyo fans. Nangong Yu is also scheduled to make an appearance.

Seeing Nangong Yu nod, Sugisaki Ken's expression turned worried: "The preparations are almost complete, but there are still some minor issues with operations."

"what is the problem?"

Out of curiosity, Sugisaki Ken immediately replied, "Well, how should I put it? Didn't you say before that each team needs to be responsible for the operation of its own department? The production team also needs to wear the aliases of characters from the background setting to answer players' questions and be active on the forums. It's just that there have been some problems in finding people..."

Without speaking, Nangong Yu listened as Sugisaki Ken continued, "There are already few girls in each group, and it's not enough to have them all assigned a role. But, after we practiced various Q&A sessions, it just feels like..."

With a contorted face, Sugisaki Ken couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Nangong Yu looked at him and suddenly asked, "You mean, the actors weren't convincing enough?"

"I don't know if it's not quite right, considering the character's established traits, but something just feels off..."

"Something's wrong..."

As she pondered, Nangong Yu suddenly remembered something, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Doesn't it feel a bit off, not... anime-like enough?"

Upon hearing this, Sugisaki Ken's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it! Although it adheres to the setting, it feels like talking to a real person, lacking the unreal feeling of anime. It's a bit disillusioning..."

"This is simple."

Nangong Yu smiled.

"Simple? But there are only a few girls in our group. Do we have to hire someone specifically or train them?"

"What are you thinking? This is completely unnecessary."

With a cheerful smile, Nangong Yu continued, "Why are you so insistent on having a girl play the role?"

Sugisaki Key: "?"

Seeing his confused look, Nangong Yu waved her hand: "Let me give you a suggestion. Go and see if there are any employees in your team who have never been in a relationship, are usually easygoing, like reading anime and novels, preferably a bit of a homebody, and don't like socializing much."

Sugisaki Keyu: "??"

"It's often single guys... oh no, single elites, who have never been in contact with girls that make them imagine girls to be more unreal and wonderful."

Having experience is no good; they understand that girls are human too, not much different from men.

That's all I have to say. Give it a try.

Patting Sugisaki Ken on the shoulder, Nangong Yu stood up and left, completely ignoring Sugisaki Ken's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Did a single dog eat your rice?!

You feel a tingling sensation when you squeeze it, so you think you're so experienced and amazing?

What really drove Sugisaki Ken to despair was that, after thinking it over and over, he suddenly realized that what Nangong Yu said actually made a lot of sense.

So, all he could do was grumble and curse, and set his sights on those hardworking otaku.

What? You're saying he's single now too?

He's a leader, how can a leader personally get involved!

Soon, he spotted a chubby, somewhat cute young man wearing glasses.

Looking at the row of anime figurines on the young man's desk, and the green figure holding an umbrella in a sunflower field on the screen, there is no doubt that this is the perfect candidate.

Smiling, he walked towards him.

......

On my way back to the office, a mature woman with short, gray-blonde hair happened to walk towards me.

Looking across at the other side, Nangong Yu asked curiously, "Rita, what brings you here?"

Rita Rossweisse, the negotiator sent by Schicksal to discuss the Gensokyo amusement park, is just as I remember her—an incredibly alluring older sister.

Big and older sister.

However, aside from official business, she had little interest in anything else. After the negotiations ended, she stayed by Principal Theresa's side and was said to be taking care of her daily life. She and Nangong Yu were just nodding acquaintances.

Her professional attire accentuated her curves, and beneath the form-fitting OL skirt, sheer black stockings clung to her shapely legs, reflecting a captivating sheen in the sunlight.

She is charming and gentle, yet her words can easily distance you from others, leaving you itching and yearning for her, yet unable to possess her.

"I heard that Mr. Nangong is planning to go to the headquarters of Destiny tomorrow?"

Nangong Yu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Rita smiled, her wine-red eyes glistening with tears, and said gently, "If you don't mind, may I accompany you?"

Chapter 213 The Pokémon Tournament is About to Begin

The private jet arrived on time. After bidding farewell to Seele and Ellie who came to see her off, Nangong Yu lay back on the soft, reclining seat, her eyes slightly closed, concealing the weariness in them.

Yesterday, Seele and Bronya sent him messages one after the other. Just as he was excitedly preparing to draw lots to decide which alliance to join, Kaguya quietly approached him.

"Why not tie the sisters together?"

Kaguya said this.

Nangong Yu shamefully fell in love.

So, Nangong Yu didn't reply to any of his messages. While the two girls changed into tight black clothes and were preparing to tie him up, Kaguya sneaked over. The two of them worked together to capture the two sisters in one fell swoop.

Then comes the classic movie plot where the interrogator is killed and disciplined.

Because this matter involves the secrets of the Nangong family, it is naturally not something that can be told to outsiders.

...............

It was indeed exhilarating, but he was completely exhausted the next day and naturally became listless. After breakfast, Kiana deliberately pressed herself against him but he didn't react much, which scared Kiana so much that she almost dragged him to the urology department for a checkup.

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..............................

So, Nangong Yu's listlessness in the morning really startled her. She thought that Yu was no longer capable, or that she had lost her appeal to Yu. Either of these was a terrible thing that was hard to accept!

Finally, with Kaguya's help and her beaming face, Kiana finally believed that Nangong Yu was alright.

After closing my eyes, a deeper weariness began to emerge, perhaps because my body felt weak. Even though I had taken medication, the motion sickness and headache that I hadn't experienced in a long time reappeared today.

He frowned, his breathing became erratic and heavy, and he even heard tinnitus in his ears due to the air pressure issue, so much so that he didn't notice the footsteps slowly approaching behind him.

A slender figure walked over. Noticing Nangong Yu's somewhat pained expression, she slowed her pace, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards him.

Before he even saw the person, the first thing he noticed was a delicate fragrance wafting towards his nose. Just as he was wondering if the crew had put out some incense, a pair of warm hands landed on his head.

The delicate, soft fingertips carried an undeniable warmth, their beautiful, gentle touches rhythmically pressing against the top and sides of his head.

When did this machine start offering massage services? It's quite comfortable!

As the dizziness quickly subsided, Nangong Yu wanted to say something, but after the headache subsided, an even stronger fatigue swept over his mind, making him forget to speak for a moment, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

However, before going to sleep, he vaguely saw the figure with short gray-gold hair standing behind him.

This was probably the most comfortable sleep he had had in days. He slept soundly without dreams or other thoughts, until the plane was about to descend.

Opening her eyes, Nangong Yu stretched vigorously, and all her fatigue vanished. She felt refreshed, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"How was your rest?"

Just then, a gentle, warm voice rang out not far from him. He turned his head and immediately met a pair of wine-red eyes.

Rita sat not far from him, her short, grey-gold hair shimmering in the sunlight. She sat languidly, her eyes smiling, gazing at him with an indescribable tenderness.

"Very good, thanks for before."

Combining his thoughts before falling asleep, he immediately understood who had given him the massage and thanked them with a smile.

"No need for that, just consider it a thank you for letting Rita travel with us."

Although this was Tianming's private jet, it was indeed allocated exclusively to Nangong Yu, so Rita's desire to ride along could really be considered as freeloading.

Of course, whether she had other motives is something only she knows.

"It's nothing."

The interaction earlier had lessened the awkwardness between the two. Nangong Yu was someone who couldn't stand being alone, and seeing that there was still some time before the plane descended, she immediately started a conversation: "Speaking of which, Rita, weren't you working with Principal Theresa? Why are you suddenly going back to the Destiny Headquarters?"

"There are some things that need to be dealt with at headquarters."
