Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"I never expected this woman to make that kind of expression."

From a distance, Tesla and Walter stood together, and said with some amazement.

"Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and naturally there will be a soft side. No, perhaps it is because of this softness that Cocolia has become the way she is now."

"Tsk, you think you know everything. I'm going back to the lab now. Tell me about any technical requirements later."

"Ah."

Watching Tesla's departing figure, Walter adjusted his glasses, then walked towards the still-noisy family with a smile.

"Although I don't want to interrupt this joyful occasion, it's getting late. Would you like to have dinner and chat sometime?"

......

In the special reception room of Anti-Entropy, Walter sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "I hope these dishes will suit your tastes."

A wide array of dishes had been served to the table by the staff, catering not only to their taste but also to their eating habits.

Nangong Yu picked up her chopsticks, took some food, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up immediately. The taste was quite good, about half the level of Jie Ge's.

"I didn't have time to prepare a gift for our first meeting. You'll probably be staying at Anti-Entropy headquarters for the next year, so I had someone prepare this for you."

As he spoke, Walter picked up a paper bag that had been placed on the table and handed it to Nangong Yu and the others.

"Ok?"

After glancing at Cocolia and noticing her slight nod, Nangong Yu thanked her and reached out to take the gift.

The paper bag was open, and the contents were quickly seen by the curious onlookers.

Inside were four simple sheets of thin paper, which Nangong Yu reached out and took out.

"St. Freya's acceptance letter?"

"what?"

Walter looked up, his expression somewhat blank, but his smile remained unchanged as he was being watched by four pairs of eyes: "It's not difficult for you to get good grades, but this year's research and development might affect your participation in the college entrance examination. It just so happens that St. Freya has the participation of Anti-Entropy, so I took the liberty of doing these things."

Looking at the admission notice, Nangong Yu asked in confusion, "Why is the major I'm admitted to blank?"

"We're going through a special admissions process, so just fill in any major you're interested in. We'll let you know before you report for duty."

"..."

So casual?

"I have some too?"

Kaguya exclaimed in surprise upon noticing that there were four notices.

"Of course, second place in the St. Freya Games Festival has far exceeded the standards for special admission, so please rest assured, Miss Houraisan."

"Oh, I see. So I can go to school with my husband..."

A hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, Cocolia spoke up: "Is that why you brought the children here?"

"Ah."

Walter nodded.

"Although there are still a few years to go, now is the time to start preparing, and this game is just the right fit."

Chapter Ninety-Six: Godfather!!!

"Thank you."

After completing the procedures for a year's leave of absence, Nangong Yu thanked her kind-faced homeroom teacher.

"I didn't do anything special. Your early admission to St. Freya University was all thanks to your own hard work. Keep it up, and I wish you great success in the future."

Pushing up his thick glasses, the kind-looking middle-aged teacher smiled at his students.

"Okay, then I'll be leaving now."

Stepping out of the office, seeing that it was still early, Nangong Yu simply stood at the school gate, leaning against the wall, silently waiting for school to end.

After deciding that Pokémon would be the flagship product for the AR glasses, Anti-Entropy headquarters began to arrange the production team. The small group of people at Gensokyo Company could only be considered a drop in the ocean; the bulk of the work still had to be done by the mature team at Anti-Entropy Entertainment.

As for who to assign, such an excellent project was naturally being fought over by everyone. Nangong Yu was too lazy to care about the open and covert struggles between different factions, but as a member of Cocolia's side, he naturally helped her gain many benefits.

Taking advantage of this period of exchanging benefits, Nangong Yu and his group returned to the Far East to pack their things and take care of some school matters.

Not long after, the school bell rang, and the whole school suddenly became noisy.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put on a practiced smile, and spent a long time greeting the girl he didn't know very well. After declining several invitations, he finally saw his three dog sons with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"You're finally back."

Upon seeing him, the three from Kitahara rushed over excitedly, each of them punching him on the shoulder.

"Where have you been? Why are you coming back so late?"

The four of them stood side by side with practiced ease, and Kitahara put his arm around his neck and asked with a smile.

"I went to North America to take care of some things, but it was you guys who went."

He suddenly attacked, grabbing Kitahara and Sugisaki Ken by the arms and killing them instantly, then said with a sneer, "Pretending to be so enthusiastic, did you really think I would forget about the sack you put on me at the festival?"

Their smiles froze instantly. Kitahara chuckled awkwardly, feigning ignorance, and said, "What sack? I have a bad memory, I forgot a long time ago."

Seeing Nangong Yu's clearly disbelieving look, Sugisaki Ken decided to sacrifice himself rather than his friend, and immediately shouted, pointing at Kitahara: "It was all Iori who forced us to do it!!"

Then, while Kitahara was still completely bewildered, Sugisaki Ken turned to Kirito beside him and said, "Kazuto, it was Iori who led the charge back then, wasn't it?!"

Grandpa Tong was stunned for a moment, but after meeting Nangong Yu's unfriendly gaze, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, it was all Iori's doing!"

"you!!!!"

Suddenly betrayed, Kitahara looked on in disbelief, his finger trembling as he pointed at the two accomplices. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a cold voice: "Any last words?"

"I'm innocent! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You bastard, I'll fight you to the death... Ahhhhhh, it hurts! Bro, bro, I was wrong, I was wrong!!!"

After stretching her muscles a little, Nangong Yu felt a surge of relief as she twisted her neck. Beside her, Beiyuan clutched his lower back, hissing and gasping for breath in pain.

"Alright, stop pretending. I didn't use much force. Mi."

He glanced at Kitahara, telling this clown to shut up for a bit, before saying, "I just took a year off from school."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Kirito and Ken Sugisaki, who had been all smiles, as well as Kitahara, who had been muttering to himself, all stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"You got arrested for committing a crime?"

"Where are you locked up?"

Do you need help delivering food?

"..."

Alright, alright. The sadness he felt instantly transformed into a burning rage. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to beat his three sons to death.

"No way!! Can't you three bastards wish me well for once?"

"Isn't it good to have three such cute girls with you?"

"you shut up!"

"profound."

She glared at Beiyuan, who obediently covered his mouth. After letting out another sigh of relief, Nangong Yu tried her best to speak calmly: "I went to North America to work on the game. I reached a cooperation agreement with Anti-Entropy Entertainment, so I needed to take a break from my studies to work there. Do you understand?"

"What about the university?"

Grandpa Tong asked worriedly.

"It's alright, I've already been accepted by St. Freya."

"...Human language?"

Everyone else is still working hard for the independent exams, and you just quietly got accepted?

Or is it a top-tier university like St. Freya, one of the world's best?

Seeing the three suddenly united against a common enemy, Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow, then seemingly casually took out a few documents from her handbag, held them in her hand, and gently shook them.

After capturing the curiosity of all three, he casually looked at the sky and said, "As one of the investors of St. Freya, Anti-Entropy has a certain number of places every year. You only need to intern for half a year in one of Anti-Entropy's companies and pass the assessment to be directly recommended to St. Freya University. Although you need to work in Anti-Entropy for at least five years after graduation, I think no one would give up such an opportunity, right?"

Turning her gaze to her three puppies, Nangong Yu fanned herself with the documents in her hand, then raised her hand, lowered her eyes, picked at her fingernails, and gently blew on them.

Noticing that the three men's breathing had become heavy, Nangong Yu smiled and, no longer keeping them hanging, flicked the three documents in her hand: "And I happen to have three spots available."

"father!!!!"

"I've drifted through half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a wise ruler. If you, Yu, will not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

The two of them hugged his legs without any restraint. Grandpa Tong was a little shy, but he still looked at the documents in his hands with burning eyes.

"Get out! I don't have sons as ugly as you!"

He shoved the three documents into Grandpa Kiri's hands, and Kitahara and Sugisaki Ken pounced on them like hungry tigers, startling Grandpa Kiri so much that he quickly gave each of them a copy.

Seeing their delighted expressions, Nangong Yu smiled.

The three brothers are all exceptionally capable and of excellent character. Once they graduate from school, they can be recruited directly to Gensokyo Company and become powerful Palu under his command!

No, we can bring them over for internships even before they graduate, and we'd feel more comfortable using them ourselves.

Little did they know that their future fates had already been decided. Amidst the three people's repeated expressions of gratitude, Nangong Yu smiled and parted ways with them.

Back home, Seele and Bronya had already packed their things. Kiana, Sirin, and Mei also came over. They had a final get-together that night, a farewell dinner.

As for Eromanga Sensei, since she probably won't have time to create a new visual novel this year, she was introduced to the animation production company under Kaguya's umbrella. The Pokémon anime will also be produced there, and as an external illustrator, she'll be busy for a year or two.

After having dinner together, they boarded the ship to North America again early the next morning.

Time flies, seasons change, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past six months, Nangong Yu has been staying at the Anti-Entropy headquarters, working there during the day and returning to a nearby upscale apartment at night. Meanwhile, the Pokémon project is progressing steadily and slowly, in accordance with the plan.

It's noon again.
