Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Yes, are you?"

A young female voice came from the other side, and the person in charge did not dare to be negligent at all, and quickly replied: "This is the working team of the St. Freya Games Festival. As for me, I am fortunate enough to be the person in charge of this Games Festival."

He adopted a very humble attitude and then said, "We just received your company's application in our registration email. Could you please confirm if it is genuine?"

"Yes, no problem. Our leader has indeed decided to participate in this games festival. Is there a problem?"

"No, no, no, I'm just flattered by your company's participation. After all, today is different from the past, and your presence makes this humble abode shine even brighter."

Hearing his boss's fawning voice for the first time, the staff member stared wide-eyed and pricked up his ears in curiosity.

"No, you flatter me. Our leader said that we must guard against arrogance and complacency, and never be proud or self-satisfied."

"Yes, yes, your leaders are right. They truly are geniuses who created Pokémon."

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, the person in charge tentatively asked, "By the way, there's actually another favor I'd like to ask."

"Go ahead and say it. If it's not something difficult, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't be a bother for you."

With a smile on his face, the person in charge said expectantly, "This year's St. Freya Games Festival is highly anticipated. In the future promotions, we hope you can mention that your company has already registered. Of course, your company does not need to respond to this."

"Regarding the publicity? I don't have the authority to decide that. Can I consult my superior now?"

"Of course."

The person in charge nodded repeatedly.

Soon, amidst a commotion, the receptionist's voice rang out again: "The manager said that as long as we don't tarnish Gensokyo's reputation during the promotion, there won't be any problems."

"thanks, thanks!!"

"You're welcome. After all, we're all trying to make the mini-games more lively. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your help!"

"You are welcome."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge heard a beep and the phone was hung up.

He could no longer hold back, clenched his hands tightly, and swung them violently a few times.

"Boss? Boss?"

"What?" The person in charge was now quite pleased and in the mood to answer a few questions from his foolish subordinate.

"You just mentioned promotion? Won't that scare away the companies that are exhibiting?"

"Why would they be scared away? They'd love to stay!"

With a slight raise of his eyes, the manager pressed his subordinate into a chair, looked him in the eye, and asked, "If you were a newly established game company and lost to Gensokyo in a game, would you feel ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, he shook his head: "Probably not."

"Right, the gap is really too big, whether it's fame or resources."

After a sigh, the person in charge spoke again: "If there were a platform that could set a limited amount of resources and allow your company and Gensokyo to compete under the same conditions, would you be tempted?"

"this......"

"Losing is to be expected. No one will blame you; they'll praise you for being brave enough to face Gensokyo, the great demon king. But what if—and I mean what if—you happen to win?"

"hiss......"

A fiery glint flashed in the underling's eyes: "So... Boss, that's why you wanted to publicize this before?"

"Boss Gao, how come I didn't think of that!"

Seeing his younger brother's excited expression, the person in charge was immediately pleased. He coughed twice, put on a mysterious expression, and patted his shoulder: "Young man, you still need to learn more. Do a good job this time, I have high hopes for you!"

"I have a feeling that this St. Freya Games Festival will be the most successful one yet! When this achievement comes out, wow..."

Then, he turned around and said, seemingly casually, "The position of supervisor seems to have been vacant for quite a while now. What if my position becomes vacant...?"

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately understood what his boss meant and became excited, patting his chest and assuring him, "Don't worry, boss, I will do my best to handle this matter well!!"

"Hmm, you're a quick learner~ Of course, don't make decisions lightly if you don't know something. If you don't understand, ask me, understand?!"

"Understood, boss!!"

The next day, the news that Gensokyo Co., Ltd. was participating in the St. Freya Games Festival was "accidentally" revealed by an interviewed staff member, and the news caused an uproar on the Internet.

Chapter 115 Bronya: He's asleep.

Da Da Da~

Ellie lay on the sofa, her slender, fair legs rising and falling repeatedly, making a series of soft sounds.

Inside the warm, heated room, she was wearing only a thin white dress. It was morning, and sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire room.

He hummed an unknown song softly, picked up his phone, and happily scrolled through something on it.

Not far away, Eden sat in a chair, sipping her black tea while watching her best friend with interest.

She shifted her body, her full, rounded thighs crossing over each other. Her mature and alluring figure could not be easily concealed by the thin red dress she wore, and she exuded a captivating charm at all times.

Unfortunately, no one could see this scene. The only one who had the right to appreciate it was too preoccupied with news about her young boyfriend to pay any attention.

A little over a year ago, Ellie was a little shy about having someone she liked, but she gradually got used to it and recently she's stopped trying to avoid her. She even shares things about the other person with her from time to time.

Looking at her proud and excited little face, to be honest, Ellie is really funny.

"Eden, my dear Eden~"

Setting down his teacup, Eden smiled as he watched Ellie, who had transformed into a pink fluffy ball, roll over from the other end of the sofa. He replied softly, "What's wrong, Ellie?"

Finally, she rolled to a spot not far from Eden. First, Ellie pulled down her skirt to cover her cat-patterned underwear that had come out to get some fresh air. Then, she held up her phone to Eden and said, "Look, Eden, Ayu and the others are going to participate in the St. Freya Games Festival!"

Looking at the news released by the staff of St. Freya, Eden pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it the time two years ago when your lover asked you to help with the music?"

"Yes~"

Allie immediately laughed. What lover? No wonder he's her good Eden, he knows how to talk!

"I remember it was an event for newcomers, right?"

"Exactly! Although Ayu's company has been established for less than two years and fully meets the competition requirements, isn't this just bullying them!"

At this point, Miss Fairy's face puffed up with anger, as if she really wanted to speak up for those other small companies.

Eden immediately understood what the fairy was up to and said knowingly, "In that case, why don't you just call him to confirm?"

Bending down and resting his cheek on his palm, Eden looked on with a lazy, amused expression.

"But we already called last night, and it's still morning there..."

Ellie's voice was hesitant, but her finger was already on the phone screen. She looked up at Eden, who was smiling, hoping her best friend would persuade her again so she could make the call.

Seeing this, Eden immediately smiled and deliberately said, "In that case, let's not fight anymore, in case we disturb their rest..."

Staring at Ellie's expectant gaze, she was somewhat taken aback. Before she could finish speaking, Ellie quickly interrupted her: "I think you're right, Eden. We should loudly condemn that bullying Ah Yu. Wait, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, without waiting for Eden to say another word, she turned into a pink dumpling again and rolled back. This time, she didn't even notice that the kitten had reappeared, and looked expectantly at the phone she was dialing.

"Pfft, cough cough..."

Eden suppressed a laugh and coughed twice on purpose. This pink fairy, she just wanted to make a phone call whenever she wanted, but she insisted on coming over to make her say it. This little bit of tsundere is really cute.

Is this what love is? She suddenly became somewhat interested.

beep.

The call was connected.

Alice quickly composed herself, picked up her phone, and said in her sweetest voice, "Hi, missed me?? A beautiful day starts with hearing the voice of Alice, who loves you the most in the world~"

There was a long silence on the other end, but Ellie wasn't in a hurry; she was looking forward to hearing that familiar voice.

Unfortunately, beautiful expectations are always accompanied by regrets, and the voice that came through the phone was another one she was familiar with.

"Hey, good morning, Ellie!"

Bronya's signature flat voice rang out, especially the light laugh tinged with a hint of mockery, which instantly froze Ellie's smile.

"Yes, it's Duck! Good morning, Duck!"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "This should be A-Yu's phone, right? Is A-Yu with you?"

"Yes, he's still sleeping soundly."

"...Is that so?"

Ellie's smile began to falter.

"It's already dawn, I should get up. Yu's arms are holding me too tightly, it's a little uncomfortable. Let Xi'er on the other side talk to you first, Sister Ai Li."

Soon, Seele's lazy, soft voice rang out, still carrying a hint of drowsiness from just waking up.

"Phew~ Good morning, Sister Ellie! Is there something you need to talk to your brother about so early in the morning?"

Ellie's smile had vanished. She forced a calm demeanor and said, "It's nothing, just saying hello and asking if it's true that you guys participated in the St. Freya Games Festival."

"Huh? Sister Ellie already knows? I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."

"You guys actually participated?"

"Hehe, actually, this is a bet between my brother and Bronya. They're competing to see who will do better, and Ellie is interested..."

"what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my brother has started growing a beard recently, and it feels rough and uncomfortable when it rubs against his face. Is there anything else, Sister Ellie?"

"......Gone."

beep~

The phone hangs up.

Eden, watching from afar, didn't hear Ellie's voice, but from the change in her expression, she could tell that the fairy seemed to have suffered some kind of blow, and her whole demeanor was a bit off.

Seeing that the call had ended, Eden was about to go over to check on the situation when he noticed that Aliten suddenly sat up, puffed out her cheeks, and angrily pounded the cushions on the sofa with her little fists.

He then jumped off the sofa, ran into the dressing room, and quickly changed into his clothes.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
