Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the somewhat shy Xi'er, which was exactly as he had expected.

Having grown up with Seele, how could he not know this little girl's weaknesses?

After holding hands for a while, feeling Xi'er's soft little hand, Nangong Yu reluctantly let go of her and turned to walk towards the stairs.

"Brother, I'll let it go this time, but please don't order takeout next time."

"Okay, okay..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Nangong Yu froze, then suddenly turned around. At this moment, Xi'er's face was no longer bashful at all; her cute brows furrowed again as she glared at him angrily: "So, this takeout was eaten by my brother, wasn't it!"

"..."

Oh no, his Seele has learned to play tricks! How awful! Who taught her to be so bad?!

Recalling the past, Nangong Yu paused for a moment.

Oh, it’s me, that’s okay.

After being successfully lectured by Seele and promised to either order food from familiar restaurants or eat food she made herself, Nangong Yu nodded repeatedly, indicating that Seele was right.

What a joke! Now that Seele is here, why would he need to eat out? Isn't Seele's cooking delicious?

She threw the trash by the door, skillfully took down the apron hanging on the wall, and quickly and easily put it on. Then she muttered a few words to her brother, who was standing in the corner as punishment, and chased him out of the kitchen with a look of relief on his face.

Not long after, the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables began.

Looking at Xi'er's reflection in the kitchen glass, Nangong Yu's exaggerated expression quickly disappeared. He stood there, his eyes softening, smiling as he quietly watched the scene.

Indeed, this is what makes a home. While it's peaceful to be alone, he still prefers the feeling of having important people around him.

With renewed vigor, he turned and went upstairs. His next step was to defeat Bronya and bring her back!

Bronya did try her best, but how could he lose when he was cheating?

Chapter 3 New Game

After dinner, Nangong Yu rested for a while, sat on the sofa and chatted with Xi'er for a bit, before returning to his studio on the second floor.

The studio is simply furnished, with only some office supplies, a powerful computer, a projector, a large screen, a drawing tablet, and a transparent glass cabinet.

On the top shelf inside the glass case were two game boxes printed with images of alluring young girls; these were two games he had previously released.

He plans to put all the games he makes in the future in a cabinet, and when the cabinet is full, he will be old enough to look back on his life.

Sitting in the ergonomic chair, Nangong Yu turned on her computer. A cute, three-headed chibi figure with green twin tails popped out from the corner of the screen, and a slightly electronic voice came from the speakers: "Master, welcome home."

The little figure on the screen was laughing and waving happily.

This is Anti-Entropy's most advanced artificial intelligence. Bronya has it, and Nangong Yu naturally won't miss out either; it's all from Cocolia's private sponsorship.

The artificial intelligence operates by borrowing the anti-entropy server for free; he is merely a port for receiving information, and at present, he is naturally unable to supply the consumption of the artificial intelligence.

When Nangong Yu saw this thing, a vivid image immediately came to mind.

Hatsune Miku.

And so, a cute little figure waving a green onion appeared on his computer.

Hatsune Miku was basically responsible for programming the first two games. However, this was fine for these simple games, but when it came to complex AAA titles in the future, she couldn't be relied on alone.

"Please create a new folder for me."

"As ordered!"

Hatsune Miku cutely raised her little hand, then pulled a folder from the pocket of her skirt and tossed it onto the screen with a whoosh.

"Master, it's all done~"

"Well, good job."

After praising Hatsune Miku and seeing her cheerful expression, Nangong Yu closed his eyes in a happy mood.

The 'book' of memories was opened, and one by one, the games he had once lingered in appeared in his mind. He first looked at the masterpieces such as 'Titanfall', 'Dark Souls', and 'GTA' with a little drool. Unfortunately, even if he had the money, he couldn't make these games now.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, he turned his attention to smaller games that he could create with his current abilities, which also met the requirements for participating in the mini-game festival.

'Vampire Survivor', 'Noita', 'Aish', 'Plants vs. Zombies'...

As he flipped through the games one by one, Nangong Yu fell into thought. Any one of these games could easily defeat Bronya's mecha game, but as his first game (not a visual novel), he still had some ideas.

In his memory, there was a game that inspired him to love single-player games in his previous life, and he still remembers it vividly to this day.

He had played many single-player games since he was a child, but the one that truly made him fall in love with it was an icon he accidentally clicked on that afternoon.

Searching through his memories, he soon saw that familiar name and those scenes that had once moved him.

Without much hesitation, he made his decision.

I'll use this as my work for this St. Freya's Games Festival, which will also be my first mark in the history of games in this world.

Of course, butter doesn't count.

Soon, one level after another, scene after scene, played back in his mind like a movie. After a long time, he opened his eyes.

This game wasn't too difficult to make. With his own help and Hatsune Miku's assistance, he was able to get most of the game's core components done. The most difficult part was actually creating the game's music.

Looking at the blank folder, the knowledge he had learned and his previous experience helped him quickly figure out how to make the game. Before long, he started typing on the keyboard, and his speed gradually increased.

His mind worked flawlessly, and the smooth, effortless typing gave him an exhilarating feeling. With Hatsune Miku's help, the newly created folder quickly filled up with content.

It wasn't until the crescent moon hung high in the sky and the night was deep and quiet that Seele's knocking woke him up.

"Brother, it's getting late, you should take a bath and rest."

Wearing cute bunny pajamas, Seele dried her still slightly damp hair with a towel while looking at her brother in the room.

"Got it~"

I glanced down at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. It was indeed time to rest.

After tidying up the files, Nangong Yu asked Hatsune to shut down the computer, then stood up and stretched.

The prolonged sitting caused Nangong Yu's back to groan, and a tingling sensation made him gasp for breath.

It seems I need to exercise regularly from now on.

Shaking her neck, she heard a crisp sound. Nangong Yu walked behind Xier, who had already turned around, and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"elder brother?"

Seele turned around in confusion. Her little face, which had just taken a bath, looked rosy and cute, making him want to take a bite.

"There's no rush to take a bath. It would be a shame to miss the chance to dry Seele's hair."

Smiling, Nangong Yu took the towel from Xier's hand and walked towards Xier's room first.

Xi'er's eyes lit up, and she followed her brother with a smile.

The door wasn't locked, and Nangong Yu easily turned the doorknob and went inside. The room's main color was a lovely light pink. Although Xier's favorite color was pure sky blue, this cool tone wasn't really suitable as the main color of the room, so she ultimately chose a warm color like light pink, which was cozy yet still had a girlish charm.

Xi'er took a few quick steps and sat obediently in front of the dressing table. Nangong Yu picked up the hair dryer on the table, turned it on, tested the temperature, and stood behind Xi'er after confirming that it was working properly.

A gentle breeze blew through Xi'er's hair. Nangong Yu moved gently, her five fingers slowly weaving through the thick strands of hair, leaving behind the fresh scent of shampoo.

Feeling her brother's gentle touch, Seele closed her eyes contentedly, a peaceful smile on her face.

Bronya works late every day and it's been a long time since she's helped her blow-dry her hair. She was surprised that her brother remembered this, which made Seele feel a sweet warmth in her heart.

"What was Seele doing just now?"

With her hands still moving, Nangong Yu casually spoke.

Just now, of course I was knitting a scarf for my brother!

However, this is a surprise, and I can't tell you yet.

Seele's big eyes darted left and right before she casually replied, "I just did some crafts that Seele likes, nothing much~"

"That's it."

Nangong Yu had no doubts; ever since she was a child, Xi'er had enjoyed playing with cute little things.

"But brother, are you making a new game?"

Seeing this, Seele quickly changed the subject, looking into her brother's eyes in the mirror and saying...

"Yes, does Seele want to know the contents?"

In the mirror, Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow and said something inexplicably.

Suddenly, Seele recalled her brother's two previous works.

She's only 16 years old! How could she know all this?

Even with her brother's works, she had only seen a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit, no more than that!

A blush spread across Seele's cheeks, and she stammered, unable to speak.

"It seems that Seele knows my work quite well."

Seeing that Xi'er didn't speak, Nangong Yu added another sentence, which made Xi'er even more embarrassed. She simply closed her eyes and chose to hide like a little squirrel.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I didn't play the kind of game you're thinking of this time."

Xi'er's hair was almost done drying, so Nangong Yu put away the hairdryer and patted her little head.

"really?"

Seele turned her head, opened her watery, shy eyes, the shimmering water carrying a rare charm, her murmured voice both reproachful and shy, like sticky honey.

This alluring appearance stunned Nangong Yu, her heart began to race, and her face began to flush.

He quickly turned his head, coughed twice, and said, "Of course it's true, don't worry, you'll be the first to play."

After saying that, he quickly fled from Seele's room.

Outside the door, he breathed a sigh of relief as he closed it. Recalling Xi'er's delicate and sweet appearance just now, his heart stirred again.

It seems I was too confident in my self-control...

Chapter 4 Seele: Oh, you're blushing~

The short ten-day spring break is over, and it's time to go back to school.
