Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Are you serious?"

Why would I lie to you? I have the script in my email, want to take a look?

"I... never mind, I'll just wait for the game to come out."

The plot is comparable to Go to the Moon! Bronya's heart is pounding like a kitten is scratching at her.

"I've also contacted an animation production company, and it will be released in two parts along with the game."

"Then I'll really be looking forward to it. Can you give me a hint, what kind of genre is it?"

"Oh, youth campus, heartwarming everyday life, the kind that makes people laugh."

"Really?"

"Reliable!"

Having covered most of the details, the topic quickly shifted, and the group lingered together for a while longer. Once the afterglow subsided, Kaguya and Bronya got up and went downstairs. It wasn't even dark yet; they had just engaged in what could only be described as "doing it in broad daylight."

Only he and Seele remained in the room.

Leaning against the headboard, he lazily held Xi'er in his arms and took out his phone from the side.

The lovely girl obediently lay in his arms, letting her brother's arms pass under her armpits and rest on her soft chest.

She clung to her brother's forearm with her little hands, looking down at the contents of his phone with curiosity.

Completely ignoring Xi'er's little actions, Nangong Yu lowered his head and rested his chin on her delicate shoulder. There was nothing to hide on the phone anyway, so he let Xi'er see it.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Seele's body, he opened his blog, which hadn't been updated in a day. Skipping over the familiar 99+ comments, he scrolled through the comments section of the latest post.

Sure enough, the comments below were all asking if he was Teacher Yu.

He had initially intended to just say what was going on, but then he suddenly felt that it wouldn't be very meaningful. After thinking for a moment, he grabbed a tablet from the bedside table.

"Seele, help me hold this up."

"Hmm~"

She replied softly, then took the tablet and placed it steadily in front of her.

Nangong Yu picked up the stylus and opened the drawing software.

What should I draw...?

Fog branches?

Fog branches won't work.

Although Touka was popular, he wasn't quite suitable. In the end, he chose the original protagonist who appeared in all five parts.

Lotus.

His already mastered skills allowed him to sketch a rough outline with just a few strokes. Under Seele's curious gaze, a gentle and lovely figure in a kimono appeared on the paper.

"Brother is so amazing~"

He finished the last stroke, and before he could even save the file, he heard Seele's adoring voice.

"It's a simple drawing, not much detail, what's so great about it?"

With a smile, Nangong Yu replied and began compressing the image.

"That's really amazing! You've drawn such a cute lotus flower with simple lines. That's very difficult to do!"

"You're so good at praising people."

Being admired by his younger sister like this made him feel really good. He lowered his head and kissed Xi'er's cheek as a reward. It tickled and made Xi'er laugh.

"Alright, it's time to upload this."

He muttered to himself, placed the image in the editing box, and typed a line of text.

"Five years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

.......

These past few days have been the most triumphant time for Wenwen. Every day when she walks into the company, the gazes of so many people make her hold her head high with pride.

The massive traffic generated by the old thief has been incredibly lucrative for her, even landing her on trending topics several times—things she had only ever dreamed of before.

All of this stemmed from that anonymous email.

The contents of the email were quite shocking to her.

It was just a wild guess that even she didn't really believe, but it actually turned out to be true!

However, despite her excitement, she didn't really have the guts to publish it. It completely involved the privacy of that old scoundrel Nangong, and if he wanted to hold her accountable, Wenwen believed she would definitely not be able to escape.

Just as she was heartbroken, feeling that she was about to miss out on what might be the biggest news story of her life, a contact number at the bottom of the email gave her a glimmer of hope.

With a glimmer of hope, Wenwen dialed the number.

The call connected quickly, and before she could speak, she heard a gentle voice on the other end: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"Huh? I'm a reporter from Wenwen News. I was looking at that email earlier..."

Her voice was a little nervous as she spoke slowly.

"Really? Looks like you've already read it. If there are no problems, then go ahead and release it."

"But...but what about that old scoundrel Nangong..."

She doesn't want to expose it? She desperately wants to, but she doesn't dare!

At that moment, the person on the other end suddenly laughed, as if they had discovered something very interesting.

Wenwen didn't say anything more, but just waited quietly.

Not long after, the laughter stopped, and the gentle voice spoke again: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nangong Yu, um, the old thief Nangong you mentioned."

Instantly, Wenwen's eyes widened.

The call ended after only a few words. Wenwen could no longer contain her excitement and started shouting wildly, jumping and bouncing around the office. Yu Li, who came over, was so frightened that he thought Wenwen was possessed.

In the following days, Wenwen seemed to be on a high, and soon published another article about the relationship between Lao Zei and Teacher Yu.

It's mostly speculation, with very little actual information.

Then, the third article, the fourth article...

As time went by, articles were quickly written and published by Wenwen.

At first, players treated it as a bit of fun, but the constant talking about it made them quite annoyed.

Just as the insults were increasing, Wenwen finally released a photo.

In the photo, Nangong Yu and a mature woman are sitting on opposite sides of a restaurant table, chatting and laughing.

It wasn't difficult to investigate the identity of the mature woman. Mrs. Izumi had participated in many offline events such as CM to sell her books, and netizens quickly found out.

Now, those players who didn't believe it were starting to have some doubts.

It's absurd that Nangong Laozei and Eromanga 5 actually know each other. Everyone in the GAL game circle knows that Eromanga 5 is Yu 4's personal illustrator. Now that this photo has been released, it's natural that people can't help but think about it.

Once the big revelations started, Wenwen had no intention of stopping. Soon, photos and messages were rapidly released.

Until this morning, after the connection between the company responsible for issuing the Kaleidoscope and the old thief was revealed, everyone began to believe it.

Professor Eromanga's blog was instantly flooded with comments, which is why she called in such a hurry.

Before the eager players could wait long, in the afternoon close to dinnertime, the old thief posted a small illustration of a lotus flower, along with a comment that sounded like an exclamation and could almost be considered solid evidence.

That old scoundrel Nangong is none other than Teacher Yu!!!

Chapter 232 Qi Bao's Turn~

【Huh? No, huh?】

[Dude, are you serious?]

[For the first time, I had a teacher I liked in the underworld and a game designer who brought me joy in the real world. These two happy things overlapped, and these two joys brought me even more joy...]

[The White Paper fans are going to be killed!! And then, both fandoms are truly ecstatic!!!]

When will the new Kaleidoscope series be released? Urgent!

To be honest, I thought the old thief hadn't had enough of my free time entertainment, but now he's even got my personal preferences figured out. I'm doomed in this life. So sad.jpg

Speaking of which, wasn't the old rascal who pioneered the art style of Kaleidoscope? Tsk tsk tsk, his influence extends far beyond the gaming world to the art world.

[He can write children's stories like Pokémon, emotionally nuanced stories like White Album, and even bizarre stories like Kaleidoscope. So what can't this old rascal do?]

[Screenwriting, drawing, programming, design... It seems like this old rascal is really a jack-of-all-trades. Is there really anything he can't do?]

I don't know, but he probably won't have children.

[I really can't have children.]

[Can't have children~]

[Based on current technology, it doesn't seem like it's impossible?]

Hmm? I have a bold idea.

【...】

The new blog post had only been up for a short time when dozens of comments started appearing every second. Within minutes, the number of comments had exceeded ten thousand.

After glancing at a few of them, Nangong Yu happily stopped paying attention.

So what if he made eroge (adult content)? If this had come to light before he made Pokémon, it might have had some impact on him. But now, it's just a joke for players to laugh about.

Nangong Yu was too lazy to look, but Xi'er quickly grabbed his phone with her little hand and started looking at it with great interest. As she scrolled through the comments that kept popping up, Xi'er's eyes were full of smiles, and her soft laughter never stopped.

Nangong Yu didn't mind. He let go of Xi'er's hand and hugged her directly to her chest. He lowered his head and brought his face close to Xi'er's delicate neck, closing his eyes and smelling the girl's fragrance.

Since the island is gone, the family's travel plans are naturally ruined.

While there are alternative places, either the climate is unsuitable or they need a considerable amount of time to be repaired. The public beaches are suitable, but he doesn't want others to see the girls in their swimsuits.

So, after discussing it with Bronya and Kaguya, we decided that this trip together will have to be postponed until the typhoon surrounding the island has passed and the island has been repaired.

Speaking of the island... next time I'd suggest not letting that raven come to the island. When it comes to metaphysics, who can say for sure?

With more than half a month left before the end of the year, and with Eirin and Sugisaki Ken in charge of things at the company, he didn't need to worry. However, he did need to personally attend the first Gensokyo exhibition held on New Year's Day. He could also go to the festival with Seele and the others that evening, as it had been a long time since he had been there.
