If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Sagiri puffed up her lips. She was very confident in her brother's charm. Although she had never been out of the house, she knew very well that the women around her brother coveted him! Without any major incident, how could they give up!

I really want to ask what happened.

After thinking it over, Sagiri still had no idea what had happened and could only speculate, feeling a little discouraged. She could see that her brother was in a bad mood, and if she continued to ask, not only would she not get the truth, but it would cause resentment.

Nothing serious should have happened, right?

Although it’s not a good idea to think this way, no matter which girl leaves, it’s a good thing for her!

It would be best if the brother belonged to her alone.

It can only belong to her.

Sagiri clenched her fists, her eyes determined.

……

Ji Qi didn’t know what his sister was thinking for the time being. At this moment, he was soaking in hot water of moderate temperature, looking at the bright and dazzling lights and thinking about life.

It has finally come to this point.

Even though I was mentally prepared, when I actually saw Shiyu's expression, my heart still couldn't help but ache.

It turns out that thinking and doing are two completely different things.

And once that layer of window paper was broken, how would the two of them get along next? Fortunately, he asked for a long vacation, which allowed them to calm down and not worry about facing her embarrassing situation when school started tomorrow.

However, if we calculate the time, winter is coming soon.

The game that their club jointly produced was expected to be released at the Winter Comic Con.

According to the current progress, the script, illustrations, and voice actors can all be completed before the deadline. In other words, everything is going according to plan. But can Shiyu still create well in her current mental state? As this thought came to his mind, he also felt disgusted with himself for causing all this.

Although considering his current achievements, this fan game made entirely by high school students is good from any perspective, it was made by him and others after all.

From being perfunctory at the beginning to gradually investing his heart and soul into it, this is no longer just his plan, but that of all the people involved in the production.

Therefore, he couldn't let their efforts go in vain because of his own reasons.

After all, this is a community based on friendship and human relationships. If it were a purely commercial operation, he would have many solutions.

I hope nothing goes wrong.

There is nothing he can do now.

My whole body was soaked in the warm water, my head was thinking about all kinds of messy things, and time passed by unknowingly.

……

Time is a very wonderful thing. It can turn all unnatural things into a habit. The so-called unacceptable and unscientific are only the initial stage. When the habit is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, the things you thought were impossible in the past will be the same in the future.

Ever since the night I confessed to Shiyu, no matter how we felt, we had to go on with our lives.

On the surface, a month passed peacefully with daily life seemingly no different from usual.

During this period, Ji Qi tried to contact Shi Yu actively, but the other party either ignored him or was extremely cold.

It can be said to be the Cold War period.

And now, this is their first official meeting after a month's separation.

In the multimedia classroom, which was also their club's activity classroom, Eriri, who was very sensitive to the atmosphere, easily noticed the subtle situation between them.

She shook her dazzling golden twin ponytails, came to Ji Qi, and asked in a low voice:

"Hey, did you have a fight with that stupid woman who only has breasts?"

Chapter 439 She Still Cares

quarrel?

If only it were as simple as a quarrel.

Hearing Eriri's nonchalant question, Ji Qi smiled bitterly, but he quickly buried his emotions in his heart and said casually, "You think too much."

"Oh? Is that so?" The blonde girl's eyes moved back and forth between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hime Nana. Although she was obviously aware that something had happened to the two of them that she didn't know about, she didn't continue to ask questions tactlessly.

To be honest, Eriri is feeling very complicated right now.

On the one hand, as a good friend, she was worried about the relationship between them. Even if she didn't admit it, after spending more than half a year together, Sawamura Eriri really regarded Hime Nana and Shiyu as good friends. She would naturally worry if they quarreled.

On the other hand, she actually felt a little bit of joy. The moment she noticed this emotion, Eriri instinctively panicked, and while she was suppressing this feeling, she also felt disgusted with herself.

Feeling guilty and afraid that the person in front of her would notice something, Eriri quickly changed the subject:

"By the way, what have you been doing lately? It feels good to be a hands-off boss, right?"

Suddenly, after not seeing him for a month or two, I really miss him.

Of course, she would never dare to say this even if she was beaten to death.

"In short, there are many reasons. I won't explain them one by one. You just need to know that I am doing my job. Besides, I can't be considered a hands-off boss, right? Usually, I have one or two live video broadcasts, and I handle the rest of the follow-up work."

Ji Qi shrugged his shoulders, looking at the petite and delicate girl who looked like a doll in front of him, he returned to his usual style and couldn't help but tease, "Have you missed me recently, Yinglili?"

"Hey, you, what are you talking about all of a sudden? I'm just worried about work! If you don't have a job, I won't miss you even if you disappear for half a year! Humph!"

The slightly ambiguous words instantly made the thin-skinned Eriri's pretty face red, and even her tsundere words were a little stuttering.

No matter what the reason is, isn’t the result still worth thinking about?

It had been a long time since he saw the girl's textbook reaction, and Ji Qi smiled sincerely.

In the corner at the back of the classroom, a tall, black-haired beauty was writing something on a bright red laptop with a tired look on her face. At this moment, for some reason, the sound of her typing suddenly became much louder.

Ji Qi, who was sitting in the front row, subconsciously looked back.

As if nothing had changed, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was in charge of the script, looked a little more tired than usual, but there was no trace of the fragility and pain she had that day on her body.

Eyes facing each other.

The next second, Shiyu turned her face to the notebook with a very cold expression.

After noticing this detail, Ji Qi felt a little disappointed, but then he thought again, this girl must have been secretly watching her, so she was able to shift her gaze immediately.

She still cares about herself.

Besides, being angry also means that there is still affection, right? If Kasumigaoka Utaha is really disappointed with him, then it would probably be another opposite attitude.

Thinking of this, Ji Qi became excited again. Although his behavior was in a sense taking advantage of the girl's pure feelings, as long as Shiyu didn't leave him, it would be fine.

"Senior, long time no see."

At this moment, a calm voice but hiding a hint of joy sounded in Ji Qi's right ear. Hearing this iconic voice, he knew who it was without turning around.

Having said that, Ji Qi turned around and smiled at Kato Hui, "Long time no see, Hui."

Actually, if you really count it, it seems that there was only a few days in between.

However, for a young girl who has just experienced the sweetness of love, this stage should be one where she wants to be affectionate and cuddled together all day long, not to mention not seeing each other for several days or even having no contact.

If it were some willful girls, they would probably start complaining to Ji Qi.

Fortunately, Ms. Kato is an extremely gentle and considerate type, and she never said anything about his behavior of flirting with her and then letting it go.

But being gentle doesn't mean she can not care at all. She just can rationally suppress her unhappiness deep in her heart. If this continues, even the gentlest person will explode.

"By the way, I heard that someone confessed to the prettier Hui while I was away. Is that true?"

Ji Qi stared at Hui's long black hair, which had almost reached her waist. He suddenly thought of the rumors circulating in the class a few days ago, and asked with mixed feelings.

The girl was wearing Toyonosaki's winter school uniform, with her calves wrapped in black uniform socks. She didn't seem to care at all about the coming winter cold, revealing her fair and smooth skin. Her small feet were wearing flat-soled women's leather shoes. She looked ordinary, but had an indescribable sense of purity.

Coupled with her unruly long hair and gentle expression, Kato Megumi now looks like a pearl that has been peeled off the soil, and she completely possesses the aura of a true heroine.

Although the method of training her was stolen directly by himself, Ji Qi was confident that he could do better! This was only the first step!

Hearing such misleading words, especially coming from the mouth of the person she loves, most girls would be at a loss for what to explain, but Kato Megumi still had that indifferent expression as if nothing would change.

She explained in a soft voice with a hint of embarrassment:

"I rejected him... and I never became prettier. I've always been like this, huh?"

The straightforward attitude is simply impeccable.

However, she did not give a reason. She just stared at the man in front of her with her clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, as if to express a message like "Why do I reject others? You should understand, right?", but it seemed like she didn't say anything.

Ms. Kato's attitude towards someone is almost clear.

Ji Qi coughed and said in a teasing tone, "Does this count as a successful training?"

"Ah! Sure enough, your motives were not pure from the beginning! Are you going to turn Hui, the new campus goddess, into your own weapon? Hui, for your personal safety, I suggest you stay away from this perverted man in the future..."

Kato Megumi didn't say anything, just lay on the table, and Eriri, who was doing nothing, showed a very disgusted attitude.

"I hope you can change your words to something that's not too harsh for a girl, but you won't do that, senpai."

Chapter 440: Seniors are special

(By the way, have I written about Rita before? It feels vaguely like I have written about her but I haven’t.)

In fact, Ying Lili was just complaining like that. After spending so much time with him, she had almost figured out what kind of person Ji Qi was.

If he was really that kind of scum, he might have been unable to resist making a move on Kasumigaoka Utaha a long time ago. After all, compared to Kato Megumi, that woman with black stockings is obviously two levels more attractive to men.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he has special hobbies and prefers people like Hui.

Even though she thought so, Ying Lili still murmured unyieldingly, "I don't know what's so good about that guy."

"Senior is a very special person to me, right?"

Hearing the girl mumbling to herself, long-haired Hui tilted her head and said words that sounded like a confession with a calm expression.

"Uh..." Ying Lili opened her mouth slightly. Hui's hair has grown longer recently, and her personality has also become more proactive?

How could the character who used to be so calm and ordinary actually say such bold words?

It's a bit unbelievable to be honest.

Ji Qi, who had been near the two of them, was also a little surprised. In the current slightly delicate atmosphere of their club, Kato Megumi's behavior was a bit like a declaration of sovereignty.

He must have been overthinking it.

After Miss Kato's words, the air in the classroom suddenly became as thick as ink. Ji Qi stood up and walked to the podium. He coughed and took the initiative to say:

"The Winter Comic Con is coming up soon, let's take this opportunity to have a meeting."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the other girls' reactions and wrote the specific progress of the game on the podium with chalk.

The date is still more than a month away.

The script is still at the stage before their cold war. Shiyu hasn't given the latest script for a long time. I don't know if it was intentional or something.

No matter what the reason was, he was too embarrassed to ask.

As for the original paintings, there was no problem at all because there were two painters in the club. But now the original paintings are being dragged down because of the script.

As for the remaining voice actors, publicity, programming, printing, etc., it is very easy to pave the way with money. If Ji Qi is willing, he can even invite the best voice actors in the industry to dub their games.

I have made a rough table. If there are any hidden dangers, they lie with Shiyu, who is responsible for the literary scenes.

If she can't keep up with the script, the drawing will also be dragged down. After all, games are made by a team, not a single person like novels.

"Hey! Kasumigaoka Utaha! You've become addicted to slacking off lately, haven't you? The deadline is almost here! You can't draw without a new script and only a rough outline of the story."

As a member of the team, Eriri obviously understood this truth. She scratched her head in distress and complained to the senior student behind her.

If it were the usual Kasumigaoka Utaha, she would have made sarcastic remarks and left Eriri speechless, but today she just stared at her laptop screen silently and didn't say a word in the face of the reprimand.

Seeing this, Ji Qi hurried out to smooth things over, "Okay, Yinglili, don't blame Shi... Shiyu. She may have hit a bottleneck recently. We are all creators and should understand similar situations. Just let her take her time."

"I, I understand, but..."

Eriri didn't really want to blame Kasumigaoka Utaha, but she had put a lot of effort into the game they had created together.

And it is undeniable that she was very happy during the process. It was also a secret competition with another artist, and everyone's mutual growth.

Come to think of it, this is the youthful life she had longed for.

Instead of hiding her hobbies and wearing a hypocritical mask to talk to those so-called "friends", she met several like-minded partners and formed a deeper bond in the process of hard work. If she were more frank, she might become lifelong friends with them.
