"...Mom?" Eriri Sawamura looked at her timidly.

 "What are you doing lying on the sofa?" Xiaobaihe pursed her lips. "Hmm?"

 Eriri's expression changed, and a blush appeared on her face as she recalled what happened last night.

 If you were to ask who understands their children best, the answer would undoubtedly be their parents. Their meticulous care allows them to discern their children's psychological state almost instantly through the smallest details...

 Little Lily observed all these reactions.

 Alright, alright, Sanzenin Arashi!

 Eriri stammered, "Yesterday, I accidentally fell off the chair..."

 "Fell down? Eriri, you're so careless! How badly did you get hurt?" Sayuri asked with concern, "Can you tell Mommy?"

 At that moment, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief; her mother had finally accepted her explanation.

 She laughed and said, "I accidentally hurt my back, and I'll need to rest for a while."

 "..." Sawamura Sayuri smiled and nodded. "Then I'll put the things here. You can rest now."

 "Hmm~" Eriri said with a smile.

 ……

 Arashi Sanzenin sat in his office, with Bessim from Ubisoft in front of him.

 Bessim took a USB flash drive out of his bag.

 "Mr. Aoyama, this is the detailed price list we have prepared. Hmm, it may be a bit complicated, but you must read it carefully."

 Sanzenin Arashi nodded and took the USB drive.

 This Bessim was addressed as "you" from the very beginning; it seems that Sanzenin Arashi couldn't use honorifics.

 No wonder Ubisoft has been investing less in Japan lately!

 After the USB flash drive was inserted into the USB port, Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes and revealed a strange expression.

 That was a spreadsheet document.

 This spreadsheet document is 19MB in size.

 "..." He looked at Bessim speechlessly.

 To put it simply, for document-type documents, one character is one byte.

 1KB is 1024 bytes.

 1024KB is 1MB.

 Twenty million words... Holy crap?!

 "Uh... Mr. Aoyama? Hey, what's wrong?"

 Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips and waved her hand. "You can go sit down for a while. I'll take my time looking at the documents. Hmm, there's a tea room next door. You can go there first."

 After Bessim left, Sanzenin Arashi immediately unplugged the USB drive.

 Then, walking to the window, Sanzenin Arashi whistled and casually tossed something aside.

 The USB drive, carrying a huge amount of text, traced an elegant parabola in the air before falling downwards.

 Bye-bye~

 Sanzenin Arashi waved at the USB drive, "Goodbye."

 He sat back in his chair, and soon the office door was pushed open.

 "Arashi-kun?" Tojo Nozomi asked tentatively, still unsure of Arashi Sanzenin's attitude.

 Sanzenin Arashi put his work aside and looked at the girl seriously, not giving her any leeway.

 He said directly, "Sister Xi, I hugged Eri yesterday..."

 ..

477. Without breaking a sweat!

 Tojo Nozomi is usually a very dignified and calm girl, and when she heard what Sanzenin Arashi said, she didn't show too much surprise.

 She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

 "If that's what Eri says, then there's no problem."

 Sanzenin Arashi was momentarily at a loss for words.

 But at that moment, Nozomi Tojo suddenly said, "Don't you think it should be fair, Arashi-kun?"

 This seemingly random remark startled Sanzenin Arashi.

 fair?

 What fairness?

 Suddenly, Sanzenin Arashi's gaze toward Tojo Nozomi became somewhat strange.

 "Sister Xi..."

 ……

 Bessim sat in his chair, impatiently tapping his leg, glanced at the silver watch on his wrist, and couldn't help but sigh.

 It's been an hour and a half... Does this document really take that long to read?

 Somewhat impatiently, he put his hand in his pocket, casually touched it, and Bessim's expression changed.

 The next second he pulled something out of his pocket.

 It has a square shape and a USB slot at the top.

 It was clearly a USB flash drive!

 There's another word on this USB drive: price list.

 Cold sweat trickled down Bessim's forehead.

 He was in charge of the Japanese region, and each regional production team was overseen by such a person.

 To put it simply... large companies like this have very clear hierarchical structures. To ensure that their employees don't overthink things, confidential matters are handled by management talents like Bessim, and then their subordinates execute the plans.

 These kinds of confidential items are usually carried close to the body.

 They are usually stored on a USB drive.

 Bessim almost trembled all over, and his face changed drastically.

 He quickly stood up and ran like the wind to the door of the president's office at NVR Studio, where he knocked.

 "Come in."

 When Bessim opened the door, he was taken aback. He saw a pretty girl sitting on the sofa with an unnatural blush on her face, as if she had just finished some kind of exercise. However, he couldn't care less about that at the moment and asked directly, "Mr. Aoyama, where is the USB drive I just gave you?"

 After saying that, Bessim stared longingly at Sanzenin Arashi.

 Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, "Oh no."

 Bessim hurriedly asked, "Have you seen it?!"

 Sanzenin Arashi was taken aback. "Of course not, Mr. Bessim. This USB drive is broken. How am I supposed to check it?"

 He realized what was happening in the next second.

 A price list for 19MB...

 Even the customs turnover of a single country cannot reach that much!

 There's something fishy about this!

 Seeing Bessim's tense expression, he instantly understood. That USB drive probably contained something quite important.

 In an instant, Sanzenin Arashi thought of many things.

 Then he suddenly smiled slyly and slowly said, "So, Mr. Bessim, what's on this USB drive? Can you restore it?"

 "No, that won't be necessary. We have backups of the data..."

 "Oh?" Sanzenin Arashi smiled.

 Why are you so nervous even with a backup?

 In other words, it absolutely must not be seen?

 A digital technology company, something that can't be seen... isn't that obvious?

 However, we need to figure out what it is first.

 Sanzenin Arashi, however, believed that this was something useful to her.

 Thinking of this, Sanzenin Arashi said, "Then, Mr. Bessim, do you need any help?"

 Bessim was taken aback: "This...where should I begin?"

 Sanzenin Arashi tried her best to appear understanding and said, "This USB drive was damaged because of a problem on my end, right? Do you need me to explain? To be honest, I'm really curious about what's inside."

 Bessim breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, this USB drive doesn't actually contain data, but rather some code files from our company. Due to confidentiality reasons, we really can't show it to anyone else. It was my mistake, and I can't disclose the specific contents..."

 Immediately, Bessim's impression of Sanzenin Arashi improved considerably.

 He looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a probing gaze.

 "Don't worry, Mr. Bessim, I will keep this a secret."

 Sanzenin Arashi found it amusing; such company secrets were simply given away as gifts, but...

 Hmm, this USB drive isn't broken.

 I just threw it down!

 The core technology of CG production companies...

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled. "Mr. Bessim, aren't you going to bring over the real price list?"

 “Here it is.” Bessim quickly handed over a USB drive.

 "Ugh, someone really took this. I'm probably going to get fired. Luckily it was already broken. It really scared me to death..."

 “Well then, shall we continue?” Sanzenin Arashi said confidently, “A Certain Magical Index…”

 “Well, Mr. Aoyama, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. This order includes 80 minutes of top-notch CG. The Japanese team alone probably can't meet your needs, so our company has arranged a trip for a big client like you,” Bessim said proudly.

 "Tourism?" Sanzenin Arashi looked at him, sparing with words.

 “That’s right. My company has invited Mr. Aoyama to Hawaii for talks. You can treat this meeting as a trip. We have prepared a place for Mr. Aoyama in the villa area.”

 “Hmm…” Sanzenin Arashi frowned. “I understand.”

 The matter is settled.

 Bessim left the office with a look of lingering fear, and then Sanzenin Arashi stood up.

 "Arashi-kun?" Tojo Nozomi looked at Sanzenin Arashi with some confusion. At this moment, the man was staring intently out the window.

 "Sister Xi, I have something to say."

 Nozomi Tojo nodded.

 Bessim left NVR Company, and Sanzenin Arashi watched him walk out of the building. After he was out of sight, she immediately took the elevator.

 Quickly exiting the building, Sanzenin Arashi found the tree.

 He glanced around, and then started... climbing the tree!

 After climbing the tree, Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief.

 A USB drive was embedded in a tree branch; after removing it...

 Just as Sanzenin Arashi was dusting off her clothes and preparing to go back, a child's voice rang out beside her, "Mommy, look! Someone's climbing a tree!"

 Huh? What? What's wrong with climbing a tree?

 After tossing the USB drive into her pocket, Sanzenin Arashi hurriedly returned to her office and re-entered the device.

 He opened the document and laughed.

 Unexpectedly, I finished the most important thing without even realizing it!
