Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Holding the handle in her hand, Kiana asked in confusion.

Want to play together for a while?

Pointing to the large screen, Nangong Yu extended an invitation with a smile.

Kiana immediately burst into a happy smile.

"Um!!"

After that, the entire Gensokyo Company changed from its previous relaxed atmosphere, and the whole environment became tense.

Especially the new team under Sugisaki Ken, with so many honors bestowed upon them by Gensokyo, they were under the most pressure, fearing that they might inadvertently become the company's culprits, and dared not relax for a moment when a task was assigned.

After nearly two months of such intensive operation, the annual mini-game festival officially began.

Chapter 247 Could the problems at ME Company really be caused by Cocolia?

April had barely passed when the St. Freya campus became lively once again.

However, apart from the newly enrolled students, the teachers and students in the academy were already used to this.

Ever since the establishment of the Gensokyo Company, this school has felt increasingly lively.

This year's mini-game festival was still incredibly popular thanks to Gensokyo's participation. Although Gensokyo, as a behemoth, overshadowed all the other participating companies, even a little bit of that buzz was enough to make the smaller companies very happy. They were practically begging Gensokyo to come and crush them.

And what if Gensokyo underperforms this time...?

With this small dream of instant success, all the manufacturers seem to be quite motivated.

As for the management of the mini-game festival, they are so excited that they are almost ready to kowtow to Gensokyo. Since the official announcement that Gensokyo has joined the mini-game festival as a special invited company, the popularity has increased more than tenfold, which makes the person in charge feel very fortunate.

Luckily, he had the nerve to beg Theresa back then, otherwise he would have been labeled the 'worst mini-game festival ever,' and how would he ever be able to make a living after that?

Gensokyo is like this: once you've tried it, you can never leave. The entire mini-game festival takes on the shape of Gensokyo.

This morning, Gensokyo posted a blog entry.

"The new game from the Gensokyo Sunflower Field team, *Overcooked!*, will be showcased at the St. Freya Games Festival. Everyone is welcome to come and support us."

It was plain and uninteresting, but as soon as it was posted, a flood of comments appeared below.

[Dude, the mini-game festival started this morning, and you only just remembered to promote it? Is your PR department just sitting around doing nothing? The official mini-game festival organizers have announced it countless times, and this is all you do?]

[Mini-Games Festival: I have no objection.jpg]

[Another baby cup being smashed? Another baby cup being smashed?]

[It feels like Gensokyo has become the biggest and consistent highlight of every game festival. Thankfully, their games aren't included in the overall rankings, otherwise, no one else could compete.]

[Overall ranking? Seriously, don't let other manufacturers make you lose confidence. Do you like my PvZ's sales exceeding 100 million?]

Speaking of which, I think Gensokyo didn't participate in one of those editions.

[Upstairs, a newbie fan joined late, what's going on?]

Oh, because Pokémon came out that year.

【grass】

【That’s okay. 】

This one is even more heavyweight.

【….】

The comments section is full of jokes and casual conversations; there are hardly any discussions about the games themselves. Everyone seems to assume that all games from Gensokyo are high-quality. It's no wonder; just look at Gensokyo's past achievements, and you'll understand how unfair Gensokyo is to other game companies.

Therefore, many fans now have a blind trust in Gensokyo.

This trust is expected to last until Gensokyo's first real Waterloo, but will that really happen?

Meanwhile, the source of many fans' confidence in Gensokyo has been entangled by Sirin and Kiana.

"Hey Yu, let's play that Kitchen game together during Xilin's live stream soon!!"

Not long after he finished breakfast, Kiana gave him a bear hug that almost made him throw up.

He irritably pushed her arm away and pinched her cheek.

Kiana's cheeks were being pinched and pulled, but she still smiled and looked incredibly cute, which made Nangong Yu unable to resist picking her up.

"It's a kitchen disaster!"

After making a sarcastic remark about Kiana, Sirin felt a little embarrassed to hug Kiana like that with so many people in the house. She could only cross her arms, glancing at him with envy in her eyes, and said, "This game can be played by four people. Me, Kiana, and Gretchen have all agreed, but we can't find anyone else. It wouldn't hurt to ask you to come."

Her voice was filled with anticipation, but before Nangong Yu could respond, a pleasant voice came from beside her.

"We're short one person. Can I join?"

Ellie approached without anyone noticing, and said with a smile.

"Hey?"

Celine froze, stiffening her neck as she turned to Ellie.

She had just come downstairs, having changed from her loose nightgown into an elegant pink and white long dress, white sneakers, and her long pink hair styled into a simple and beautiful single ponytail. With her hands behind her back, the ring on her left middle finger shone with a dazzling pink light in the sunlight.

"Hehe~ Just kidding, Sirin's expression is so cute~"

"Unfortunately, I already made plans to go shopping with Eden today, so I can't play games with the lovely Sirin."

With her slender, pale fingertips, Ellie tapped Sirin's stiff little face and said with a bright smile.

"Sister Aili!!!"

With a blush, she called out, and Alice laughed even more happily. She moved to stand in front of Yu, and at that moment, he released Kiana.

"Ah Yu, I'm going out!"

"Well, have a nice trip."

After saying that, Ellie didn't move her feet, but instead slightly tiptoed.

He immediately understood the obvious hint and, with Sirin and Kiana's eyes widening in surprise, lowered his head and kissed her.

I only took a small sip and didn't get to taste the deepest sweetness; it just left a faint fragrance on my lips.

"Phew~ Ah Yu's energy replenished!! Miss Fairy is fully charged!!"

Like an adorable character jumping up in an animated sequence, Ellie radiated energy as she picked up her bag from the shelf, walked to the door, and waved to Ayu: "See you tonight, Ayu! Don't forget our promise~"

"Yes, I remember."

She winked at him with her pink eyes, then cupped his hand in hers and gave him a sweet kiss. After receiving a response, Ellie opened the door and went out, excitedly heading next door to find Eden.

"We should head out too."

Bronya, Kaguya, and Seele had already changed their clothes and followed Irisviel upstairs.

On the first day of the mini-game festival, since Nangong Yu didn't plan to go, as the second-in-command, she naturally had to go. The remaining days could be left to Sugisaki Ken. Coincidentally, Kaguya was also planning to go to the event to try out a few games that interested her. The two of them caught up with Seele, who wanted to spend the whole day with her brother, and prepared to go together.

“9 silk ∧|⑧贰∥㈣☆∝three;◎彡∝裬ˉ◎5 search》＃QQ group: brother......”

Even though she had changed into pretty clothes, Seele still looked listless and dejected.

Her little eyes looked pitifully at her brother, the kind of look a princess who had been captured by a dragon would give a hero.

Unfortunately, even the hero couldn't defeat the dragon. After kissing the princess, he could only watch as the dragon took her away.

However, if we compare them like that, wouldn't he be kissing the dragon too?

That's strange...

"Let's go, let's go, Gretchen is already waiting in the room!"

The troublesome guys finally left, and Kiana then came up and hugged his arm.

He glanced up at the lips that already bore the scent of four other women, and couldn't help but pout, hugging her even tighter.

"Scumbag..."

She muttered something under her breath, but her body language betrayed her, and she gently took his hand.

With Kiana around, she doesn't need to pretend anymore.

"Don't rush, let me wash my hands..."

Holding onto the two people, Nangong Yu said with a hint of helplessness.

Moreover, he's actually not very willing to play in Overcooked Kitchen.

Oh, that's not right.

It wasn't that he didn't want to play, but rather that he didn't want to play with Xilin and the others. He felt like he was about to encounter his first emotional crisis.

As he washed his hands, he looked at the two figures standing behind him in the mirror like guardian deities and felt a headache coming on.

Kiana and Sirin's skills aren't bad, but they'll probably be a bit flustered since it's their first time playing Overcooked. Hopefully, they won't get too hot.

Trying to calm herself down, Nangong Yu wiped her hands and was then supported by one person on each side.

"By the way, Mei went home again?"

On the way upstairs, Nangong Yu asked casually.

"Yes, Mei said that things aren't going well at her family's company lately, and she wants to go back over the weekend to help out."

As Mei's best friend, Kiana definitely knows the most about Mei.

After saying that, Kiana couldn't help but add, "I always felt that what Mei said last time was a bit of a jinx. Is ME really going to go bankrupt?"

"How could that be? ME Company is involved in a lot of real-world industries, so many people's livelihoods. If it really went bankrupt, it would be a huge problem. Those council members won't just stand by and watch. At most..."

At this point, Nangong Yu suddenly paused, and Kiana immediately asked curiously, "At most what?"

"At most, Thunder Dragon Horse will step down..."

He suddenly remembered Cocolia's questions about his relationship with Mei during the New Year. No way, it couldn't be such a coincidence...

Oh no, the more I think about it, the more it seems to be true!

"Then, in that case, can we bring Mei over?!"

Kiana responded with a delighted exclamation, prompting Nangong Yu to give her a somewhat helpless look and retort, "Then I really should thank you on behalf of Raiden Ryoma..."

"Hehe, it's nothing, after all, Mei is my best friend..."
