Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

As Clannad's popularity reached its peak.

The anime's storyline seamlessly connects to the highly anticipated Hikari-zaka High School Festival.

The celebration was incredibly popular.

So much so that on the day of the premiere, the hashtag "Virtual Tour of Hikari-zaka Academy Festival" immediately became the number one trending topic across the entire internet.

Countless viewers stayed glued to their screens, eager to see more heartwarming and healing everyday moments in this grand celebration of youth.

However, what Su Bai gave them was far more than that.

He demonstrated his terrifying control over the narrative to everyone in an almost showy manner.

At the beginning of the animation, there was no unified main perspective.

The camera was cut into several fragments and quickly moved through various corners of the campus.

Over here, Nagisa Furukawa and the members of the drama club are making their final, intense preparations for the upcoming performance.

In Nagisa's hand, she tightly clutched a script, on the cover of which was written a neat title.

The Legend of the Maiden and the Jewel of Light

Over there is Tomoyo Sakagami.

Wearing the student council uniform and the disciplinary committee armband, she was efficiently handling venue disputes between various clubs, her eyes sharp and her aura commanding.

On the other side, Fujibayashi Kyou and her twin sister Ryou set up a small tent in a corner.

A sign that read "Love Fortune Telling" was hung up, and Xing, dressed in a playful witch outfit, was looking at the men and women passing by with a mischievous smile, seemingly plotting something.

In just three minutes, a lively and vibrant school festival scene was vividly presented to all the viewers.

And the one who connects all of this is the male protagonist, Tomoya Okazaki, whom everyone calls a useless person.

He was being dragged around the campus by Sunohara Youhei, looking utterly hopeless.

"Hey, Tomoya, look at that cotton candy! Let's go eat it!"

"Look at that fried noodles over there, it looks delicious!"

Tomoya yawned, looking like he could fall asleep at any moment, and responded lazily.

"Go by yourself, don't hold me back."

He said that, but his feet betrayed him and he went to the drama club's activity room first.

Through the window, he saw Nagisa nervously memorizing his lines, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Tomoya didn't say anything, but silently walked to the vending machine next to him and bought a bottle of tea.

Then, at the opportune moment, during a break in Nagisa's rest, he pretended to casually pass by and slipped the tea into her hand.

"Hey, don't overdo it."

He said it in his usual annoyed tone.

"Ah... Okazaki-kun!"

Nagisa's cheeks flushed instantly, and she thanked him softly.

[Locked in! Locked in! Tomoya is so kind to Nagisa!]

This is the everyday feeling of an old married couple! So sweet!

The Nagisa fans cheered with satisfaction in the comments section.

However, before they could celebrate for long, Tomoya was stopped by a figure as soon as he turned around.

It's Fujibayashi Kyou.

She stood with her hands on her hips, a smile that left no room for argument.

"Okazaki, stop wandering around and come with me. My fortune-telling hut needs a sign, so you'll have to be my mascot!"

Without waiting for Tomohisa's agreement, she forcibly grabbed his arm and dragged him toward her tent.

In the fortune-telling hut, Anzu put a ridiculous cat-ear headdress on Tomoya without saying a word, and then pressed him into a chair.

"Come here, let me tell your fortune and find out who your future wife will be. Oh dear, the divination says she'll be a violent, beautiful girl with purple hair and pigtails!"

Tomoya looked utterly helpless, completely manipulated by her. His expression of utter exasperation made the audience in front of the screen burst into laughter.

[Hahaha! Xingye is awesome! I love this kind of proactive approach!]

[Tomoya is such a submissive wife in front of Anne! I'm totally shipping this couple!]

The flags of the Apricot Party instantly occupied the high ground.

Just as Tomoya was pondering how to escape from An's clutches, student council president Tomoyo Sakagami appeared.

She glanced at the ridiculous scene and said to Xing with a blank expression.

"Fujibayashi-kun, forced buying and selling is prohibited."

Then, she turned to Tomoya and commanded him in an unquestionable tone.

"Okazaki, don't waste time here. Come with me. There are some delinquents causing trouble behind the gymnasium. We need you to talk to them."

Tomoya was rescued by Tomoyo and went with her to deal with the trouble.

The two joined forces, one using force and the other using fallacies, and in no time at all, they scared the group of thugs so badly they ran away in terror.

"You're surprisingly reliable in a time like this."

Tomoyo looked at Tomoya, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.

"Likewise, Student Council President."

Tomoya shrugged.

The silhouettes of the two standing side by side in the sunset, their powerful chemistry, thrilled another group of viewers.

This is the official couple! A love between equals! Tomoyo is the true match!

Within just one episode, the audience went completely crazy.

Major anime forums and social media platforms instantly transformed into battlegrounds for factional infighting.

Nagisa Party, Tomoyo Party, Anzu Party, and even Kotomi Party were all established.

An unprecedented war of words erupted over who is the true female lead in Clannad.

Numerous detailed analysis posts and CP (couple) edit videos have emerged, and their popularity has even surpassed that of the anime itself.

Inside the Healing Animation office.

Shen Qingyue stared dumbfounded at the explosive traffic data in the background caused by the party struggle, muttering to herself.

"This works?"

Looking at Su Bai's calm expression, she finally understood.

This guy never intended for the audience to enjoy a peaceful, pure love story from the very beginning.

What he wanted was to mobilize, to involve, and to get every audience member to project their own emotions into the performance.

Just then, the assistant handed over a report.

"President Su, Tencent's Sword and Fairy Romance also held a sect competition event, trying to imitate our Academy Festival, but..."

Su Bai took the report and glanced at it.

The rating for "Sword Immortal Romance" has fallen below 4 points.

The comments section was filled with mockery from the audience.

[Hilarious! This is what they call a grand martial arts competition? Two expressionless faces just stand there casting spells, without any interaction whatsoever!]

[A relationship without any daily build-up is just playing games! I don't care who wins or loses at all!]

[I'm dying of laughter, this is a massive, awkward ancient-style cosplay performance.]

Imitation is the worst form of flattery.

Wang Hao's failure was already destined.

Su Bai casually tossed the report aside and returned his gaze to the screen.

In the animation.

After a long and tiring day, Tomoya finally found a chance to catch his breath.

He was planning to go back to the drama club to see how Nagisa's performance preparations were going.

However, just as he was walking towards the corner of the teaching building...

Two figures appeared in front of him simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, blocking his way.

It's Anzu Fujibayashi and Tomoyo Sakagami.

The two exchanged a glance, and it was as if sparks were flying in the air.

Finally, they both turned their intense gazes to Tomoya.

"Okazaki!"

Xing spoke first, her tone carrying an undeniable air of dominance.

"For the most important bonfire party on the night of the school festival, you must come to my fortune-telling hut and be my exclusive model!"

"no."

Tomoyo's voice was cold and firm.

"He must attend our awards ceremony as a special advisor to the student council."

The conflict was escalated to an unprecedented level at this moment and brought to the forefront.

There was only one unavoidable choice left.

Tomoya stood frozen in place, his expression shifting from annoyance to genuine bewilderment.
