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

at this time.

The phone rang.

It's Kato Megumi.

Ji Qi took a look and saw that she had roughly reported the progress of today's work in the text message. From the message, it seemed that Miss Kato had completed all the tasks he had assigned her well.

This made him feel a little guilty.

Is it really appropriate for him to let other girls help him with work while he goes out with other girls?

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, he was here to see Mashiro off.

Soon, Ji Qi, whose conscience was almost fed to some animal, found a suitable reason for himself and suppressed the guilt that had just arisen in his heart.

But it’s a comic convention.

I always feel like something is going to happen. Is this an illusion?

Unconsciously setting a flag for himself, Ji Qi also used his mobile phone to report his itinerary to Hui.

Well, necessary details must be concealed.

"I see. It's a pity that I didn't have time to send Mashiro off."

Hui Hui's text message was very fast, as if she had been waiting.

She said this symbolically and quickly skipped the topic. "Will the senior come to the comic convention tomorrow?"

"of course."

"Then I feel relieved."

Chapter 490 Poaching!

The next day.

The time is eight o'clock in the morning.

The weather is cloudy.

At the end of December, the biannual CM was held again. The last two days of the year were also the last carnival for the "homebodies".

Outside, clean, pure white snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the entire city, making it look exceptionally enchanting in this white-clad scene.

Even in such cold weather, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the otaku group. At the entrance of Tokyo International Exhibition Center, countless people lined up early in the morning, and the long line was so long that you could not see the end at a glance.

Even across two streets, you can see groups of three or four gathering together to chat, and even in Internet cafes there are people on standby at all times.

This year's comic market, the world's largest fan exhibition, was held as usual.

Inside the venue.

Compared to the extremely cold temperature outside, the air-conditioned room is as warm as spring.

In the spacious venue, people can be seen moving boxes back and forth and setting up stalls everywhere.

There is a small team in a location that can be said to be the best in terms of geographical location at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center.

A gentle young man with outstanding temperament and strong presence. When you see him, it seems that he should appear in model magazines, not in the "otaku circle" that is now excluded by mainstream Japanese society.

There is also an ordinary girl with long flowing hair who seems to be nothing special at first glance.

There is no doubt that this is the unremarkable combination of Himechichi and Kato Megumi.

Oh, and senior sister Shiyu should also be counted as one, who is acting like a boss lady, sitting leisurely on a chair and watching them busying around.

Ji Qi had no dissatisfaction with this assignment. Shi Yu, a girl, treated him so wholeheartedly, so there was nothing wrong with him doing some work.

Originally, he was planning to hire someone to do all the groceries. It would be strange if he didn't do so considering his wealth. However, considering that they were still a small club in the school, he decided to enjoy the joy of doing it himself.

After Ji Qi had roughly tidied up his stall, he looked at his watch - there was still an hour before leaving, which was plenty of time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Junior-kun. Do you want me to give you some rewards?"

At this time, Shiyu rested her elbows on the table in front of her and teased with a smile.

"No need, and it feels like I haven't heard this name for a long time. I actually miss it a little bit..."

Ji Qi's heart subconsciously jumped, fearing that Shiyu would accidentally reveal some shocking information in front of Hui. Fortunately, Hui was still drinking water and didn't seem to notice this.

"So you're a pervert."

Shiyu stared at him, smiling like a flower, with a rare hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Ever since that day when they broke through the relationship and met each other's parents, the senior sister has been acting more and more like a little girl in love.

For a man, being able to make that cold, sharp-tongued, unapproachable woman show her current little girlish charm is definitely an achievement to be proud of.

"Let's not talk about whether I'm a pervert or not. Next, I'm going to exchange works with other stall owners. Do you want to join us?"

Ji Qi shook his head helplessly and said.

He is still very clear about some of the unspoken rules at comic conventions.

Although he didn't need to do that, it's better to be kind.

"Asking knowingly."

Shiyu, who exuded the unique charm of a mature woman, waved her hand and said lazily.

"Then I'll go."

Ji Qi smiled, picked up a few prepared games, and walked to a nearby stall.

Because the place he rented was the best and most expensive, those selling next door to them were all very famous clubs in the industry, or they were just orthodox game companies that came to test the waters.

Such as rouge en rouge.

Hey, this name sounds familiar.

Noticing this, Ji Qi suddenly fell into deep thought.

Honestly speaking, ever since the system's save file loading skill was opened, he felt that many things were unimportant and no longer cared about them.

For example, he had completely forgotten about the big boss who had caused the club to fall apart in the past, and it took him a while to remember what was going on.

It turned out to be her.

Akane Benisaka.

In memory, she once poached Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, causing Tomoya Aki's club to be on the verge of disbanding. Although the problem was successfully resolved later, judging from the information revealed, it is no exaggeration to say that the status of the rouge en rouge club she leads is overwhelming.

Because of its great fame, it is more like a complete commercial company than a fan club.

Moreover, her methods are too radical. She often poaches people from other companies and clubs when she has a disagreement. I don't know if it's because Akane Benizaka's personal methods are too powerful or something else, but her success rate is quite high, so she doesn't have a good reputation in the industry.

But so what?

After all, the two-dimensional industry is not mainstream, let alone individual industries within it.

Ji Qi curled his lips. This is self-confidence, the absolute self-confidence brought by the most realistic money and success.

Whether it is a woman who is too outstanding or a rival, people will feel inferior and dare not approach them. But when you surpass a woman in terms of your own success or vision, will you still worry about this problem?

Will not.

You don't even need to cultivate this kind of self-confidence. When you reach the peak that others cannot reach in their entire lives, you will unconsciously look down on strangers.

All his efforts are for the confidence at this moment.

He was even considering whether or not to just buy out Akane Akasaka's entire team so that he could help Erie Shiwa and the others gain experience points and level up.

After all, judging from their looks, they want to continue on the path of creation.

Others have been with him for so long and never asked for any compensation in the first place, so there should be nothing wrong with him helping them improve in the areas they want to improve.

Most importantly, doing so can distract the girl's attention, avoid a setback to a certain extent, and create opportunities for him to fulfill his ambitions!

Just do it.

Ji Qi, who was originally hesitant, suddenly made up his mind!

As for money——

Can a problem that can be solved with money still be called a problem?

With a relaxed expression, Ji Qi walked straight to the rouge en rouge stall.

As a top club in the industry, their booth had already been set up. Boxes of games were placed on the sales table, and the game's initial interface was playing on three laptops for trial play.

Judging from the stall, there is nothing special about it except that it is a little bigger.

After taking a look, Ji Qi came to a strange yet somewhat familiar woman next to him.

Black women's suit, black ponytail, black stockings.

Black, black, black.

Her clothes were extremely simple, and combined with her feminine face, she looked very steady, but perhaps it was the first impression, Ji Qi felt that she seemed more suitable to wander around the comic convention carrying a bottle of wine.

After a pause, Ji Qi spoke to the lazy boss as if he was chatting with old friends.

Author's message:

Daily update 1/20

Chapter 491 Is this your new harem?

"Ms. Benizaka?"

"……Um?"

The woman responded lazily. When her dark red eyes saw who the person was, her nonchalant expression disappeared and she asked with interest:

"Is there a problem?"

"I'm here to exchange club work, Ms. Benisaka."

Ji Qi, who was not in a hurry to reveal his true purpose, raised the beautifully packaged box in his hand and said with a smile.

"Oh? Is this a game made by Kasumi Shiko, Kashiwagi Eri, and that genius painter Shiina Mashiro?"

Hearing this, a terrifying enthusiasm suddenly burst out in Hongzaka Akane's eyes. She couldn't wait to stretch out her fingers painted with crimson nail polish and took the game he handed over.

She stared at the cover of the box in her hand for a while before she seemed to realize the occasion and raised her head and said:

"Just take the game from the table. The price is written on it. If it's not as high as the price you guys put it on sale at—no, just ask the red-haired guy to make up the difference. I know you don't care about this little money, but just take it for now."

She was about to dismiss the issue with a formulaic speech when she was halfway through her speech when she remembered the team behind this game and the overwhelming publicity.

Kashiwagi Eri, Kasumi Shiko, and that British genius painter Shiina Mashiro.

The first two can only be considered second-rate or first-rate, but with the addition of Mashiro, the nature is completely different.

It can be said to be a dream lineup.

Even she couldn't stop lingering.

She had also seen the advance version they released at the comic convention half a year ago.

Impeccable and exquisite posters, eye-catching script and character design, but in detail, there is still a gap between the latter and the former.

But it's enough for players.

She was very interested in the person who could bring all these talents together to create a game.

It is even stronger than the desire for the talented girls Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eri.

After all, Akane Benizaka understands the difficulty of recruiting talents.

It was not until she saw Ji Qi that she could not help but think with evil humor, could it be that this guy relied on his unfair looks and figure to hook up with these women and make them work for him?

"Then I'll move on to other stalls."

Ji Qi, who didn't know he was being criticized, nodded and didn't dwell on such a small matter. He greeted the red-haired young man with a beauty mole on the lower right corner of his eye, received the difference under his subtle gaze, and continued to walk to the next stall.

The release price of the rouge en rouge game was 7000 yen, but he chose 9800. Moreover, the one he traded in was a limited edition. Not to mention the quality issues, the price was more than doubled.
