We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Sister, I..."

Xu Qi paused, as if preparing something, and Eden couldn't help but hold her breath. She seemed to have a premonition that Xu Qi was about to say something to her…

How to do?

Should we agree now?

But I haven't actually...

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

A sudden burst of laughter came from ahead, causing Xu Qi to squint and look over.

But Mei seemed unable to hold back any longer, clutching her stomach and desperately trying to suppress her laughter, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Helpless, Xu Qi leaned closer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, but...can you understand this feeling? It's like suddenly hearing a very familiar voice on a public program."

Then he started singing over there in a very serious tone, it was so funny, wasn't it?

Xu Qi: ...

Will it?

Not long after she finished speaking, Ellie, who was sitting next to her, suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"And what's wrong with you?"

"I...I just thought about what Mei said for a moment, and suddenly I realized she's so right..."

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"I mean, what if, as a voice actor, I voiced a character in this anime? How would you feel?"

Mei and Airi exchanged a glance, remained silent for about two or three seconds, and then burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.

Xu Qi watched them silently from behind.

"Is it funny?"

"Funny! Funny! So funny! Hahaha! My stomach hurts from laughing!"

Xu Qi smiled.

"You two come to my room tonight."

"what……!"

Ellie immediately tried to cover for herself, saying, "Um... um... tonight... oh? tonight?"

Mei was startled and quickly gave Airi a wink.

Little Ellie immediately nodded in understanding, cleared her throat, and continued in a pretentious manner, "Okay...okay!? Mei and I are two different people, why would we be afraid of you?"

Xu Qi shook his head helplessly and leaned back in his seat, the courage he had just mustered diminishing. Looking at Eden again, he saw that at least the other person was smiling, so it seemed he was in a good mood.

Should we... continue?

"Xiao Qi".

"Uh! Sis, what's wrong?"

"Wait a bit, wait a little longer... I might not be ready yet, so even if you ask now, I might not be able to give you an answer."

Sure enough, Sister Eden had already guessed it.

"It's okay, sis, I was just a little anxious too."

The environment was somewhat dim, and Xu Qi's voice sounded very calm, so Eden didn't detect anything wrong. Besides, she seemed to see a slight upturn at the corner of Xu Qi's mouth.

But if Eden could see more clearly, he might have discovered that it wasn't a relieved smile, but rather one tinged with bitterness.

I want to be your brother for life, but... I don't want to just be your brother.

The animation began to play, and the new Alahatto was vastly different from the old version in terms of clarity, smoothness, and art style.

In addition, the first episode of Seed itself paid homage to the original Alahato 0079, so it might even give people the illusion of watching a reboot of the old Alahato.

Of course, this only applies to die-hard fans like Xu Qi who have been watching Alahat since childhood.

New viewers like Mei and her friends had their eyes light up when they saw ZAFT's King begin hacking into satellites.

This one-eyed mecha always has a strangely cool vibe!

And finally, amidst the raging fire, as the prelude to Eden's "We Were Inseparable" began, accompanied by a slightly melancholic and poignant female voice... Allahato rose once more upon this land.

"That's great... I can actually see Alahato on TV again..."

"The final transition to the oil painting style background was done very well!"

"I felt that my movements were still a little stiff when I got up."

"What about the explosion? How did it feel?"

The surrounding sounds became noisy again, and the staff in the studio began to discuss the performance of the first episode, especially Ji Lin and Ai, who were in charge of the performance.

It's always fresh and new.

Eden stood up and said softly, "You go to the celebration party with everyone later, I'll head back first."

"A celebration party? But the data..."

"You will definitely succeed, I believe in you."

"But aren't you coming, Eden? Or should I take you home?"

“No need…” Eden shook his head. “I… want to be alone to think about things. You stay with them. I’m fine.”

But you don't look like you're alright...

Perhaps sensing Xu Qi's worry, Eden bent down and kissed Xu Qi on the forehead.

"Alright, don't worry about me. Your sister Eden isn't going to suddenly run away. If you're still worried..."

Eden leaned close to Xu Qi's ear.

"I'll treat you to cake again tomorrow night, in my room."

Are you spoiling me like a child?

"Didn't you say you'd be my brother for life?"

Ok……

Xu Qi stood up and escorted Eden to the entrance of the multi-functional hall.

"Alright, let's go back. Anna is outside; she'll take me home."

"it is good……"

Watching Eden leave, Xu Qi's expression gradually revealed a hint of worry. Had he acted too hastily tonight? Was that why Eden…

But if it weren't for the huge emotional fluctuations she displayed during Eden's birthday celebration last time, and... the fact that some things clearly crossed the line. (Chapter 531)

I doubt Xu Qi will be that aggressive tonight.

Indeed, it's best to let things take their natural course in these kinds of situations.

Xu Qi turned around, just about to ask about the premiere, when he heard Su Shana call out.

"They're out! They're out! The PR team just got the viewership ratings for Seed!"

"How is it? How is it?"

"It's definitely very high! While you guys were all watching anime, I was browsing Bilibili, and the number of views exceeded 500 million in just half an hour! And... the growth rate is still breaking records!"

"Number one on the list of most popular anime series!"

"Let me see..." Susana opened the file and flipped through it. "Ratings 3.37%, huh? Seems not very high..."

Delta was standing nearby. Upon hearing this, he immediately grabbed a stack of documents and smacked Susana on the head!

"Duh! The highest-rated TV series last year only had a single episode with a peak rating of 2.20%!"

"Oh...wait!? Then! Doesn't that mean..."

“A blockbuster…” Bronya murmured, “An absolute blockbuster…”

Delta murmured in agreement, "Even when we released Z, we never encountered a scene like this..."

The two women exchanged a glance, and the instant they realized what was happening, the entire hall erupted in an astonishing cheer!

648. I've been longing for this success for so, so long.

If you're not an ET employee, or if you're unfamiliar with the Alahato IP, it might be hard to understand why they're so excited.

This company started with Alahatto, and through many ups and downs, Alahatto has always been the one to persevere, no matter what changes have occurred.

Even though the director of this animation has changed from Walter to Bronya.

But as long as its core remains unchanged, it is still the same Allahato!

This old animation, which has been running for ten years, had already lost hope after the sudden death of Alahatto in the previous installment.

After all... his popularity has almost completely disappeared.

But who could have imagined...who could have imagined!

……

“Exquisite mecha designs! Gorgeous character designs! Using these to capture the market first, and then incorporating what we want to show into them, is also a viable approach.”

……

Xu Qi was right; he succeeded.

So after Bronya's excited embrace with Delta, she went straight to Xu Qi, ignoring why he had come from the doorway, and hugged him in front of all the company's employees!

Bronya?

"Thank you, sob... thank you..."

The warm embrace and heartfelt tears all told Xu Qi just how excited the person in his arms was.

Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you need to laugh.

You shouldn't bring other complicated feelings into it.

So Xu Qi temporarily put aside what his sister had just said, or rather... right now, he needed a moment of excitement!

Amidst the cheers and stares of the crowd, Xu Qi embraced the president of ET, the new director of Alahato, and also his girlfriend…

Feeling Xu Qi's response, Bronya could no longer suppress her tears.

She cried out, almost as if she were wailing.

"I've been longing for this success for so, so long... Last year... Last year was really tough. When I saw that an episode of Alahato only had a few hundred thousand views, I felt..."

Allahato is over for me... but I don't want to give up, I still want... I still want to see Allahato succeed!

Right now, all I feel is how wonderful it is that I didn't give up... how wonderful..."

Emotions are often very contagious, especially when they come from someone you care about.

Xu Qi hugged Bronya and gently patted her back.

"Alright... don't get so excited yet. This is only the first episode. We need to keep this momentum going, right? With even better works!"

"Uh-huh!……"

Although reason keeps telling everyone that this is only the first episode, only the first day.

But in fact, for most animated works, the first episode can already determine many things.

As long as there are no problems in the subsequent production, Alahatto's success is basically a foregone conclusion!

And this stability... requires everyone to work together to maintain it.

Of course, these are things that need to be considered later.

Drink today, for tomorrow we may die!

How could we not take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm and celebrate properly?
