For a student like her who hasn't even graduated from the training program and hasn't officially debuted yet, having the opportunity to participate in a project, regardless of what the project or role is, is something to be grateful for.
She glanced shyly at Sakura Koji's talent, knowing that he must have intentionally reserved this spot for her, taking her situation into consideration.
Since that's the case, her personal likes and dislikes are no longer important. Her gaze gradually hardened, and then she looked at him:
"I understand! I'll do whatever you say, young master!"
"Listen to me? Then can I let you come to my room tonight to record the 0721 scenes?" Sakurakoji's talent had such an evil thought for a second, but he quickly suppressed it.
"I understand, then it's decided."
However, after her problem was solved, Shiina Mashiro spoke up again.
"Talent, what is Gal?"
"Uh—" He was a little stumped. How was he supposed to explain this to a child he had never met before?
"It's a type of text-based work with background images and background music. This time, I'm going to make a romance-themed one."
"Mashiro's manga also has this kind of content, right? How about we include it? I think it would be of great help to your future creations."
"Moreover, we have a well-known cartoonist on our team, and you can learn a lot from her."
Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 119 A Landmark Meeting, A Birthday Gift
At this point, his conscience bothered him.
There is a talented cartoonist in the team, but her area of expertise is rather complicated.
Besides, since it's a work about love, it might help her creative process...
If it were other works, they might indeed have a positive impact.
However, the work he chose this time is known as a masterpiece that has driven many otaku to quit watching. Its powerful impact is so great that even veteran otaku fans can't stand it, let alone Shiina Mashiro, who knows nothing about it.
He glanced at the innocent-looking Shiina Mashiro, wondering what this child would become.
Was it a mistake to involve her?
However, as the saying goes, a serious illness requires strong medicine. Perhaps after this experience, Shiina Mashiro will grow greatly and become normal in her thoughts and feelings?
It's not impossible, right?
"I see, then I'll join." After hearing his concise explanation, Shiina Mashiro agreed without hesitation.
"Is it really okay to make such a hasty decision?" Even though it was his suggestion, Sakurakoji Sai was still taken aback.
“I believe in talent.” Shiina Mashiro gave him a trusting look.
"Ahhh! Don't look at me with such blinding sincerity..." He couldn't help but squint his red eyes, a mournful cry escaping his chaotic heart.
But at this point, he had no choice but to act. He couldn't very well tell her, "The waters here are too deep for you to handle right now. Go play a few dozen Gal games to get started first."
Thinking of this, he gave his maid a trusting and kind look: "Then you've decided to do it this way... Nanami, from now on, Mashiro's task of getting to know the basics of the game will be yours."
"Huh? What the hell?" Aoyama Nanami stared at himself, his eyes wide, unable to believe that he had given him such an outrageous task.
Taking care of her daily needs is tiring enough, and now we have to add this on top of that?
"But how do I understand? Young Master!!"
"I trust you. I'll reimburse any expenses incurred in the process."
Ignoring her tearful, pleading expression, Sakurakoji turned to look at the cherry blossoms to the side.
He knew it was a very difficult task, and there would definitely be many difficulties along the way, but he really didn't want to personally take Shiina Mashiro to play games and explain these things.
That would take too much time; he doesn't have that much time right now.
"We should be arriving soon." Putting that question aside, he thought of something else.
A few minutes later, his phone beeped. He quickly picked it up and opened it. Seeing that it was indeed what he had been thinking about, he smiled slightly.
"Nanami, a guest has arrived. Go down and greet him."
"guest?"
"Yes, they are two young women, one with black hair and one with blonde hair, and they are in the lobby on the first floor."
"……I see."
Although she had some doubts about the request, the loyal maid immediately chose to carry out the order.
A few minutes later,
Amidst gasps of amazement, Aoyama Nanami returned to the spot with the two girls.
"What is this? A garden like this at the top of a building? Is this even acceptable?"
"Stop looking around like a country bumpkin, Sawamura-kun. That only exposes your shallow thinking, just like your chest."
"What?! Kasumigaoka Utaha! Have you ever seen a scene like this before?"
“I’ve never seen it before—although I’ve never seen it before, I would at least not be so rude on someone else’s turf. That’s the difference between you and me.”
"..."
"..."
The two people who came were Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, and it was Sakurakoji Sai himself who called them over.
When he tried to invite Shiina Mashiro in the morning, he wondered if he should invite them over as well.
Firstly, it had been a few days since they last met, and he had almost finished writing the prologue's plot, so he could call them over to proceed with the next task.
Secondly, if Shiina Mashiro is to be brought in, then she and Eriri must get to know each other and Eriri must teach her some industry expertise. It is clear that relying on Aoyama Nanami for this is not enough.
So before taking a shower, he contacted the two women and, after confirming they were available, sent them the address.
"Welcome, Utaha-senpai, Sawamura-kun."
"Nanami, go and prepare some snacks and tea, and also bring up my notebook for me."
As the two approached and came into his view, Sakurakoji greeted them, and the two looked over at him as well.
Aoyama Nanami nodded in response, bowed to the group, and then left again.
Kasumigaoka Utaha wore a light-colored coat over a red top, and a dark blue skirt that perfectly accentuated her beautiful hip curves. Her voluptuous legs were clad in her signature sexy black stockings, and she wore mid-heeled shoes, giving off a professional office lady vibe with an outdoor casual look.
Eriri... probably too lazy to choose clothes, she was still wearing that blue-purple school uniform and mini-skirt.
However, given that she wasn't wearing that green oversized coat and still had black stockings that perfectly accentuated her slender legs, Sakurakoji decided to give her a high score.
If you had to choose between a voluptuous, sexy figure and a slender, bony one, which would you pick? It's such a dilemma!
"Talented One, what is this?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked hesitantly first.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Is that even a question?! Of course it's because of your relationship with this place! Why are there maids here?"
Oh, you mean that?
"You mean Nanami? Because she's my maid, and I live here too."
"What! That lady is actually a maid?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it was true.
She initially thought it was some kind of cosplay event like a maid cafe, but it turned out to be the real deal!
"Personal maid, beautiful girl from a poor family, noble young master, private room..."
Eriri, standing next to her, seemed to have unlocked some kind of button, muttering these words as inspiration surged through her mind.
"Please stop your delusions, Sawamura-kun. Nanami and I haven't progressed to the point you're thinking of." Sakurakoji quickly interrupted Nanami's inner monologue before she returned.
Although, she was right about some things.
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but cover her eyes, feeling embarrassed, and gave her a chop to the neck.
"Ouch! Kasumigaoka Utaha! What are you doing?!" Eriri snapped out of her daze, clutching her head and glaring at her angrily.
"That's what I should be asking. Why are you acting all lovey-dovey in front of others, Sawamura-kun?"
"Who...who had a torrent attack!" Eriri said, sounding a little unsure. "It's just a professional habit!"
"Could you please not enter creative mode all the time? It puts me, a fellow creator, in a difficult position."
After reminding her to be careful, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Sakurakoji Saiki with a helpless expression.
"Although I had guessed before that you must come from a wealthy family, I didn't expect it to be to this extent, you even have maids... Cai-jun, you wouldn't happen to be a nobleman, would you?"
"..."
"It really is?!" Her eyes widened to their maximum, and she felt a bit oxygen-deprived in her brain.
This young man I met at the party, does he really come from such a wealthy family? Come to think of it, it turns out there really are nobles in Japan.
"Well, these are all old stories, not worth mentioning. Please have a seat."
The two sat down somewhat bewildered, and even Eriri next to them was a little shocked.
After all, although her family was quite wealthy, they didn't even have maids.
"Ahem, I'm sure you've already guessed why I called you two here." He coughed lightly, making his opening remarks.
"It's about the next step in the project, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha guessed. "But if I may be frank, Talent-kun, since you come from such a privileged background, why do you still..."
"Is this some kind of incomprehensible thing? There's no rule saying it's forbidden, is there?" He looked at Eriri. "If my information is correct, Sawamura-san's family is also well-off, isn't he...?"
"Ahhh!! That's enough! You don't need to say it!" Eriri hurriedly waved her hand to interrupt, her eyes secretly glancing at Shiina Mashiro, who was quietly and obediently eating a donut beside her.
Where did he find such a lovely girl?
For some reason, she sensed a dangerous, hostile force emanating from her, a kind of mutual repulsion...
Huh? Shiina Mashiro seemed to notice her gaze and looked at her with an innocent expression, which startled her so much that she quickly looked away.
"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent. After all this time, she was the only ordinary person in this team.
Damn it! Sometimes I really want to fight you guys who create things not for money, but because of your passion!
"Let me introduce you. This is Shiina Mashiro, currently a trainee manga artist. She has very strong drawing skills, but in some aspects..."
"In short, she will also be involved in our work later."
"Mashiro, these two are Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai and Sawamura Spencer Eriri-kun. They will be your colleagues from now on."
"Colleagues..." Upon hearing this word, Shiina Mashiro was somewhat tempted. The hand holding the donut was still near her mouth, but her eyes surprisingly changed. "Hello."
"Oh, hello."
Please take care of me in the future.
The three greeted each other, but Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiina Mashiro looked at each other with a somewhat puzzled expression.
This child is quite unique.
"Since we're both painters, Sawamura-kun, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Mashiro from now on. She's just started out and isn't very familiar with things in the industry." Sakurakoji carefully chose his words, his eyelids twitching slightly.
The days that followed were truly filled with misfortune and hardship.
"Oh, leave it to me." Eriri, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, patted her small chest and assured them.
She blushed and pointed with her finger, her cute little tiger teeth showing as she moved her lips, and said shyly, "And also, thank you for the birthday present you gave me last time, I really liked it, thank you."
"It's a small thing, nothing to worry about. As long as you like it."
"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around in surprise.
Did something happen while she was unaware of it?

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 120 The Feeding Play Reappears
Although it's a bit late to say this now, Eriri's birthday is actually two days before Ebizuka Satoshi's birthday.
One of them was born on March 22nd, and the other on March 20th.
After delivering the gifts on the morning of the 20th, he was summoned to Kawasaki in the afternoon—which shows that his life was very fulfilling.
