Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Through some unspeakable special channels, I obtained the right to watch Clannad live. You should know that this is content that has not even been broadcast on TV yet. It's a one-time offer, and you won't get it after this period!"

【Wait, buddy, are you serious?】

[Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Gensokyo Legal Department?]

Seeing the skeptical comments, Sirin waved her finger with a touch of pride: "I already said, through certain special channels, don't doubt my status in Gensokyo, okay?"

Gensokyo Legal Department?

She's now one of the proprietresses of Gensokyo...! How could someone from the same family investigate someone else?!

The broadcast opportunity was naturally the result of last night's hard work. For companies focused solely on anime, this might be a major event affecting the entire company's operations, but for Gensokyo...

Even if Clannad doesn't sell a single copy, it doesn't matter to them. The company doesn't expect to make money from it, and the employees treat it as the boss's hobby. The boss can do whatever he wants with it. Even if it's completely free, no one will say anything. They might even praise the boss for staying true to his original intention.

Therefore, for the sake of Xilin's little vanity of having something that others don't and showing off her status, Nangong Yu naturally wouldn't spoil Xilin's mood. In fact, when he lowered his head and gently touched Xilin's long purple hair, he was thinking about when he could find an excuse to be with Kiana.

These are real sisters...

Just thinking about it made him excited, so much so that he soon heard Celine's sobbing cough.

[Oh no, could Sirin really have connections everywhere in Gensokyo? Isn't that old scoundrel Nangong going to do anything about it?]

[By simply airing all the anime series that weren't broadcast on TV, isn't this blatantly damaging the relationship with the TV stations?]

[Hey, Gensokyo, do you really care about relationships with a small local TV station? As for those foreign TV stations, buddy, why don't you check who owns them?]

[People are too afraid to speak loudly in Xilin's live stream now.]

So, what those guys were saying earlier couldn't be true, could it? Did Xilin really sleep with that old scoundrel Nangong...?

"You, all of you!!!"

Seeing that the topic was about to go off-topic again, Xilin gritted her teeth and decided to have the super moderators make an example of her again.

But just then, a scrolling super-sized bullet screen made her eyes widen immediately.

[Nangong, you old scoundrel, are you out of your mind? This pufferfish has no boobs, no figure, and such a temper! Isn't Princess Kaguya better? Isn't the duck boss better? If all else fails, I think Nangong's little secretary is a million times better than the pufferfish!!]

To be fair, bro, you're right. And don't forget Miss Pink Fairy. I don't understand why anyone would fall for someone else after winning Miss Pink Fairy's love!

[Tsk, remember that lively and cute white-haired girl in those scandalous photos? That old scoundrel Nangong deserves to die!!]

So, what did he see in the pufferfish? It couldn't be her small livestreaming channel, could it?

[You made me laugh.]

Super comments kept pouring in, relentlessly bombarding Sirin as if they were free.

Her face flushed red and then darkened with anger as she pointed at the screen and shouted, "What's wrong with my livestream?! I've worked so hard to build this up over the years!! And does having good relationships in Gensokyo have to mean I have good relationships with Ayu?! Bronya and I have been good friends for five or six years, is it wrong for us to have good relationships?!"

"I never imagined that all my hard work to benefit everyone would be met with this kind of slander. Don't you have any conscience at all?!"

"And what's wrong with me? How am I not good enough for that old thief?! Aren't I pretty?!?"

She could control her tone at the beginning, but the last sentence was delivered through gritted teeth; if anyone were in front of her, she would want to punch them.

While it's common for pufferfish to explode when inflated, this was the first time it had happened like this. The viewers were stunned, thinking they had gone too far with their jokes, and they rushed to apologize in the comments.

This scene made Xilin cross her arms, snort, and turn her head away.

"Fine, considering this is your first offense, I'll be magnanimous and let it go."

After leaving the audience waiting for half a minute, Xilin finally raised her head again.

She looked at the screen, pointed her finger and said, "Let me say it one last time, I have a good relationship with many people in Gensokyo, such as Bronya, and Seele, the secretary next to the old thief. Don't let her small and soft appearance fool you, she is actually one of the major shareholders of Gensokyo Company, a powerful figure. She just keeps a low profile, so don't make fun of her."

"So, it's just a matter of getting the rights to broadcast an anime. Do I really need to go to that old thief? It's just a matter of saying a few words. What's so difficult about that? Do you really think I only rely on that old thief in Gensokyo? Let me put it this way: my status here is the same whether he's here or not!!"

After saying that sentence in what she thought was very cool, Xilin was secretly observing the comments, preparing to receive a wave of admiration and praise, but the content made her frown.

[Pufferfish, stop talking, behind you, behind you!!!]

[Hey pufferfish, shut up! Look behind you!!!]

【Oh no, we're doomed!!】

"Behind?"

Somewhat puzzled, I took off my headphones and turned around, only to be met with a pair of black eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

brush! !

Xilin was startled and froze, waving her hands frantically in front of her.

"Ah, Ah Yu, when did you get here?"

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "It wasn't that long ago, just before you said I was useless."

"!!!!!!"

Didn't we hear everything?

At that moment, Xilin's mind went blank. She stared blankly for a moment, watching as Nangong Yu placed the fruit platter he had brought her on the table, and then walked out the door without looking back.

"wait wait wait!!"

Just as Nangong Yu was about to leave, Xilin finally realized what was happening, quickly stood up, and rushed over, forgetting even her live stream: "Yu! I, I didn't mean that!!!"

"What are you saying? Didn't you say it didn't matter whether I was there or not?"

"Waaaaah! I was just kidding!!! Don't go, I'm sorry, wait for me!!!"

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the comments section exploded with excitement.

[His initial assertiveness followed by obsequiousness is laughable!]

[That's how it is with Xilin. Nangong, that old rascal, only needs to work hard and focus on making games, while Xilin has many more things to consider.]

I declare this the biggest laugh of the day!

The discussion in the live chat continued for half an hour before Xilin returned to her room, her face flushed.

Feeling weak all over, she slumped into the chair, her embarrassed and annoyed eyes fixed on the camera: "It's all your fault! Otherwise, how could Ah Yu have... how could she have..."

She already had very little flesh on her chest, and Ah Yu insisted on doing it this way, and in the end, she still had to rely on her mouth...

"Alright, we've already wasted so much time, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys anymore. The Clannad movie screening event is officially starting."

"From now on, I'll only watch it once. Although the old thief said I could broadcast it whenever I wanted, I won't be that willful."

As she spoke, she moved the mouse to the first episode, and then added, "By the way, I've already turned on the screen recording ban. Those of you who are making video clips should probably take a break this time, since this content isn't really suitable for distribution."

Everyone naturally understood this, saying that it was already good enough that they could see it, as it was a unique 'public resource' in the world.

"Alright, then let's get started without delay!"

As she spoke, she clicked on the video.

The first moment, ethereal background music begins, and under a gray filter, the image of a small town emerges before the audience.

Immediately following is the male protagonist's somewhat negative monologue.

"I hate this town..."

His voice was flat and indifferent as he walked along the road, silently recounting his monotonous, gray daily routine.

The unchanging school life, the home I don't want to go back to...

However, soon after he reached a cherry blossom-lined slope, a girl stood by the roadside and let out a soft sigh.

The scene freezes on the girl, and the background music changes rapidly. A calm, warm voice, like a bell, rings out, and just listening to it seems to bring a smile to one's face.

"I love this soundtrack!" Sirin's expression softened, and she said with delight. The comments section was filled with unanimous praise as well.

That's how you watch things together—chatting while you watch, that's what makes it fun.

"Red bean bread..."

The girl suddenly uttered a puzzling sentence, then, as if speaking to herself or asking a question, she lowered her head and said, "Do you like this school? I like it very, very much, but everything can't last forever..."

For the male protagonist, this is a girl he doesn't know. She may be asking him questions, but she is most likely talking to herself.

Just as he was contemplating leaving, the girl spoke again. She gripped her handbag tightly and looked up: "Whether it's happiness or joy, none of it can last forever. Even so, do you still like it here?"

Gray petals drifted down onto the male protagonist's head. He lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then chose to reply: "Just go find it."

As the words fell, the girl turned around in surprise.

The whole world is colorful at this moment.

Chapter 242 is truly a heartwarming and joyful story; the old thief wasn't lying!

"Wow, this color change..."

Xilin felt a tingling sensation throughout her body. She frowned, racking her brains to express her feelings in the words she could imagine: "It's like... it's like, only after meeting this girl did the male protagonist's life gain color, only then did it start to move..."

[Hiss, who are you?! This isn't something a pufferfish would say!!!]

[Oh no, even pufferfish are getting all artsy! My youth is over!!]

[But what the pufferfish said seems to be true. Could this scene be a major foreshadowing in the plot?]

The sign that the entire series of Clannad was being streamed was still very prominent, and the number of viewers in the live stream doubled in no time. Many newcomers asked in the comments if it was true that the entire series could be streamed, but most of the discussion was about the plot and jokes about pufferfish.

"Hey!!! What do you mean I've become artsy? I'm a very artsy girl, okay?!"

She glared at the camera and pouted, speaking angrily.

Of course, she herself felt a little guilty saying that. After complaining, she muttered things like, "Watch the anime carefully and don't post irrelevant things," forcing herself not to look at the barrage of sarcastic comments.

In the scene, the girl takes two light steps and stands side by side with the boy. The two walk together towards the long cherry blossom slope, leaving the audience with a leisurely silhouette.

Then, the scene changes, and the opening theme song begins.

The ethereal singing voice rang out immediately, and in an instant, it made Xilin's body tremble and her eyes widen slightly.

Those viewers who were originally planning to send comments asking Sirin to skip the opening sequence fell silent, all listening intently to the sounds coming through their headphones.

When the music director's name appeared on screen as the opening theme played, Sirin gasped in shock.

"No way, Ah Yu actually got Sister Eden to do the opening theme song!!!"

A month ago, Nangong Yu jokingly suggested during a meal that they try to get Eden to help with some of the music for the game and anime. Everyone thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously.

After all, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
