Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

【...】

Seeing the constant complaints in the live chat, Xilin could only say in frustration after explaining for a long time, "Okay, okay, I'll go find him later, is that alright?"

[What a great opportunity! Do you think you can just see them whenever you want? Pufferfish, you should know your place.]

It's only morning, why are people already dreaming?

【happy. 】

Upon seeing this, Celine immediately panicked: "Hey!! We're really good friends!!!"

"Still don't believe me? Just wait until I get him to come out alone next time!!"

After speaking angrily, Xilin suddenly froze.

Wait, what did I just say?

Go out with him alone?

This...this is a date!

Although her eyes were still fixed on the incessantly chattering comments, Sirin's thoughts were far from them, and her heart began to race.

If we take this opportunity, could we perhaps...

The moment the thought surfaced, it quickly took over her mind like a virus.

Of course, of course, Xilin felt that she didn't have any special ideas, she just wanted to prove herself to her fans!

That’s right!!

However, she was ultimately a little embarrassed to extend an invitation alone, so it would be better if she could bring it up through someone else...

Because of the live stream, Xilin walked behind everyone, slowly raising her head and looking meaningfully at Kiana, who was running around happily at the front.

Now that we're all grown up, it's time for us sisters to put our skills to good use.

......

At the foot of the mountain, Nangong Yu slept soundly until noon, and her tired body finally felt a little better.

Rubbing his lower back, Nangong Yu sat up.

Two people can barely manage, but three people are a bit too much. This is a gap that can't be bridged by training alone.

I remember Cocolia mentioning that the Destiny gene-modification could selectively enhance the function of certain organs. I wonder if that's true...

Lost in thought, he took out the sandwich and juice that Seele had left him for lunch, and opened his chat group with his brothers while eating.

After giving a heads-up inside, a multi-person chat was quickly initiated from the other side.

Have you reviewed all the materials?

Nangong Yu swallowed a bite of her sandwich and spoke to the phone on her lap.

"I've seen it, and I can only say that you are truly amazing~" Sugisaki Ken exclaimed.

He stayed up all night last night to finish reading the game design, and the more he read, the more amazed he became. The gameplay seemed so simple, but it inexplicably had a magical appeal.

"This is the most amazing level design I've ever seen. I dare say that any person of normal intelligence can play this game without any tutorials."

Recalling the design of the previous levels, Kirito remarked with emotion.

"...I don't know how to put it, but I feel like this game will be a lot of fun."

Kitahara scratched his head and said with a sheepish grin.

“Fun is precisely the most important thing about a game,” Nangong Yu replied with a smile.

After finishing the last bite of her sandwich, Nangong Yu patted the breadcrumbs off her hands and picked up the milk: "Alright, since you've all watched, you can start discussing how to make it. I won't teach you directly, but I'll listen in. You can ask me if you have any questions after you finish discussing."

After a pause, Nangong Yu added, "Of course, if you make any serious mistakes in the overall direction, I will correct them in time. Relax and do your work. Don't worry about making any mistakes. Trial and error is an essential part of achieving your goals."

Finally, Nangong Yu curled the corners of her lips and teased them one last time: "To be honest with you, I'm training you all to be managers of a large-scale game. As long as I know it, I will teach you everything I know, but how much you learn is up to you. If anyone falls behind, when we all play together again in a few years... you know what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Sugisaki Ken and the other two immediately imagined that scene in their minds.

At the dinner table, his three brothers were all his superiors, while he was still just a lowly soldier...

Instantly, they all shivered, exchanged glances, and secretly made up their minds!

It's just curling, curl it really hard! Others want to curl but don't even have the chance!!

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You guys go ahead and discuss it. I'll just listen from here."

Lying back down in the hammock, Nangong Yu said lazily.

Soon, a lively discussion broke out from the phone.

The ignited atmosphere deepened Nangong Yu's smile; he could already envision a bright future for his good brothers... no, for his good buddies!

Chapter 121 The Middleman Makes the Difference

As evening approached, Nangong Yu, who had just finished class with Sugisaki Ken and the others, was comfortably lying on Kaguya's lap as a pillow, eating the fruit that Kaguya had peeled for her.

Honestly, it was pretty cool to sit with my head on a pretty girl's lap and listen to my three best buddies working hard.

In the afternoon, Kaguya returned alone and spent the afternoon with him.

Looking up, unlike Seele and Duck, he could directly see Kaguya's gaze looking down at him.

What are you looking at me for?

She bent down slightly, raised her hand, and used her little finger to tuck a stray strand of black hair behind her ear. Kaguya's voice was gentle, exuding a mature charm.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's quite novel to see faces here, but not Seele and Bronya..."

Of course, he muttered the last sentence in a low voice, so Kaguya didn't hear it clearly, which is why she looked puzzled.

"Huh? Why..."

"Kaguya, Ayu, we're back~"

Before Kaguya could finish speaking, Kiana's voice came from afar.

I looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw that silly-looking big braid swinging back and forth.

"You're really living a comfortable life, aren't you?"

Even though they'd been making a ruckus all day, Kiana ran over without even breaking a sweat or getting out of breath. Her stamina is truly something else.

"If you're envious, just say so, and I'll give you a chance to have a lap pillow."

Nangong Yu sat up, supporting herself on the grass, and raised an eyebrow.

"Really, really?"

Looking at Kaguya, who was still kneeling there smiling at her, Kiana's throat bobbed with excitement and nervousness.

"Of course!"

Before Kiana could even feel happy, Nangong Yu patted his leg as soon as he said "agree."

"Here, come and get it if you want it. This is a one-time offer, don't miss out!"

Kiana, upon reaching this point, immediately realized she'd been tricked. She put on a disgusted expression, opened her mouth as if to refuse, but then quickly relaxed her brow and said with a grin, "Okay, is there a time limit?"

"Of course, this only applies to today."

"Okay! Don't go back on your word, you owe me a lap pillow today!"

Seeing Kiana's happy expression, this time it was Nangong Yu's turn to frown: "Of course I won't go back on my word, but what are you planning to do?"

"Hehe, it's a secret~"

She winked mysteriously, and as soon as she finished speaking, the voices of Seele and the others came from not far away.

"Kiana, Kiana, why are you running so fast...?"

Xilin was practically dragging her body along; she was supporting herself on her knees with both hands, her face flushed from exhaustion, and she was panting several times just to speak.

Fortunately, the live stream had already stopped, so her embarrassing appearance wouldn't have been shown to the public.

Seele, Bronya, and Mei were in much better condition. Although they also caught their breath, they quickly recovered.

"Oh dear, you guys are too slow!"

Turning around, Kiana suddenly pulled Kaguya along and walked towards Seele and Bronya. Under the three people's puzzled gazes, she said smugly, "I have a limited-time lap pillow service for today, would you like some?"

His smiling face made him look just like a cunning businessman.

"elder brother?"

"Lap pillow service?"

"what?"

Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. So that's why Kiana agreed earlier.

"Yeah, the kind you can have anytime today, aren't you tempted? Highest bidder wins!"

Behind him, Nangong Yu's expression suddenly became quite interesting; Kiana's voice was definitely not meant to be hidden from anyone.

Who says Kiana is stupid?! He'd be the first to disagree!

"Ha, selling something like this is underestimating us."

Hearing this, Bronya crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "You know, it's just a lap pillow. We can..."

"Can Seele bake Kiana a batch of your favorite cookies?"

A weak voice interrupted her, and Bronya immediately turned her icy gaze to Seele, who dared not meet her eyes.

This idiot, doesn't he even know how to negotiate a lower price?!

Kaguya looked up at Seele, then at Bronya who exuded a cold aura, smiled, took a step back, and chose to withdraw from the competition.

"Hehe~"

Kiana grinned at Bronya, then turned to Seele and said, "No, once is too little! This is a lap pillow that Ayu has served you all with all her heart. Seele, do you think just a batch of cookies is worth its value?!"

"...Then, two furnaces?"

"make a deal!"

Just as Kiana was about to happily shake Seele's hand and announce her victory, Bronya suddenly stepped between them, frowning and saying, "I haven't placed my bid yet!"
