We moved to Golden Courtyard

"can."

"Consider the previous condition as a bonus, Ms. Kafka. Please think of another one."

Kavcario was surprised. She thought that after she had teased Xu Qi like this, he would at least have some complaints about her, if not be angry... Is this man really that good-tempered?

"I want to go somewhere, and it would be great if you could come with me."

"Sure, but only after this trip is over."

"No problem, goodbye."

After the call ended, a long silence fell over the room. Brownie even stopped playing his game and stared blankly at Kafka.

"It wasn't you who made me..."

"No, no, no! I!...No? Dude, you actually went for it!"

"whee."

"What the hell is 'hehe'?! How can you say something like that?! You must be someone else in disguise! Give me back the normal Kaffa!"

Seeing Brownie's expression, Kafka laughed so hard she almost fell over.

The well-rounded human heart hidden beneath the clothes trembled wildly.

This was the happiest she had ever been.

Seeing that Brownie was still staring at her, Kafka lowered her eyes and said, "See, you're in such a hurry again. I just suddenly wanted to see what kind of person this Xu Qi is...."

……

However, after Kafka finished speaking, Brownie still stared at her with the same expression.

"So what happened now?"

"As the novel puts it... when you become interested in a man and want to understand what kind of person he is, that's basically it..."

"You just said that you shouldn't believe in novels or games."

No way to argue with that!

Brownie put on a heartbroken look—I'm sorry, Kafka, if you ever get involved with Xu Qi, I'll definitely apologize to you!

······

On the other end of the video call, Xu Qi scratched his head.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Kafka... seemed a little different from before, even though he had never really known this mysterious woman.

Xu Qi listened to advice. Since Dr. Mei had warned him about the danger, he tried his best not to provoke them.

"You should have refused just now."

Theresa, who had been by Xu Qi's side the whole time, was clearly a little jealous.

Xu Qi laughed heartily, reached out and ruffled the other person's hair before saying, "Why are you even jealous of this? My little jealous girl?"

"Who's being jealous! I'm going to tell Mei when we get back that you messed with the wrong woman."

Xu Qi clasped his hands together in prayer.

"I'm sorry, Theresa, please let me go."

"Hmph!~~" Theresa put her hands on her hips, "Now you know how to beg for mercy? Too late! Of course, I'm very magnanimous, it's not impossible for me to let you go."

Xu Qi smiled and said in a pretentious tone, "Oh? So what does Lady Theresa want me to do?"

"If you spend one day with me, I'll let bygones be bygones!"

Okay~~

The two looked at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Holding the petite Theresa, they walked to the windowsill and gazed at the sea and cruise ships beneath the clouds. For a moment, they both fell into a silent understanding.

"It's a pity it's not nighttime."

Upon hearing Xu Qi's remark, Theresa turned to look at him with a knowing glance.

She knew, of course, that Xu Qi wasn't talking about anything cheesy, but rather was expressing his feelings... If it were nighttime, he would probably be looking up at the sky now, wondering if he could catch the last of the summer triangle.

"Xu Qi..."

"Ok?"

"I was lying to you when I said I was always busy with work."

"Ah."

He knew all along...

"You said before that Xiao Mu would become a star in the sky to watch over me, is that true?"

"it is true."

“Then…” Theresa clenched her fists, “can you stay with me and watch the stars for the rest of your life?”

Xu Qi pulled up her small hands, knelt on one knee, and gently kissed Theresa's hand, placing it on the back of her hand amidst her panicked gaze.

"Of course, my princess."

929. Oh dear, Theresa is still here!

"If these parts need to be changed... then Seele, basically all the original artwork for this part will need to be changed. Is the production schedule okay?"

At this very moment, in Bronya's guest room, the director is discussing the storyboards and key animations for the latest episode of Seed with his key animators.

"I have no problem with that, but if the changes are too big, then many animators will actually have several cuts to revise, and in that case..."

"I understand."

Bronya made a phone call and summoned Delta over.

"What are you doing...?"

"The latest news is that if we need to make changes, you need to help us assess whether the project can be completed in time."

"What!...Tsk! Okay, I get it." If there's one person who least wants changes to an animation, it's definitely the production manager.

The other party is in charge of the entire animation production schedule, and even if there is an abnormality in the schedule of one link, it will be a big trouble.

Moreover, judging from Bronya's words, there are a lot of storyboards that need to be changed!

That would involve a lot of scheduling issues.

However, it cannot remain unchanged—not because Bronya, as the leader, has the power to bully others simply because of her rank.

She is the director of the entire animation. If she thinks something needs to be changed, it will definitely be something to improve the quality of the animation itself!

Delta knew all too well that Seed was not an anime that could simply end with a normal broadcast.

As a project to revive the Alahatto IP, it is only natural to strive for excellence.

"Did you get this new idea after watching that live performance?"

"It was Seele who suggested it, and I think she's right."

Delta glanced at Seele in surprise—if she really had a talent for storyboarding… then E.T. had definitely nurtured a gem!

"Huh? I hope everyone in the studio is alright."

Delta gave Bronya a helpless glare.

"You only remembered now? Don't worry, Xu Qi and the others protected them very well. Everyone is talking about the air battle just now. I doubt anyone will be able to sleep tonight."

Wow... to see such a thrilling scene up close is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After Delta finished speaking, the basic schedule for the project was already arranged.

"That's possible, but the timeframe is a bit tight. It would be best to contact another concept artist to help share the workload. Do you have any resources?"

Bronya shook her head.

"That's what I wanted to ask you too."

"It's a bit troublesome..."

As the group was discussing, the door opened, and when Bronya and the others saw that it was Xu Qi, they all looked bewildered.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?"

Bronya's eyes suddenly lit up! She coughed, straightened her expression, and said, "Xu Qi, I have a task for you to complete."

Xu Qi suddenly felt that walking in was a terrible decision.

Can I not listen?

"No way! It's time to test you as the studio manager! I need you to bring over another concept artist immediately to revise our concept art."

"Ugh?"

……

After several explanations, Xu Qi finally understood the current predicament of Seed Studio. He looked at Seer in surprise and exclaimed, "Wow, Seer! I only discovered the problem this morning, and you solved it for me this afternoon!"

"No... I feel like I've only caused trouble for everyone."

Xu Qi waved his hand.

"This is nothing, we'll figure out a solution—aren't we already preparing to acquire MH? Can't we ask them to lend us a few?"

"They were only outsourced to a few episodes of Seed, and they couldn't spare any more people."

"What about the other studios?"

"Now, almost all the resources the company can access are concentrated in Seed; we really can't access them from other places."

That is indeed a bit troublesome...

"Or maybe we should just forget about it," Delta chimed in. "Xu Qi has only been in the industry for a year, and he already has all the connections he needs. This matter has nothing to do with ability. I'll try to contact him again."

"Need not."

Xu Qi waved his hand and said confidently, "I might actually have someone. Wait for me tonight, I'll try to get him. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

······

"That one-horned armor that was flying in the sky just now, the one that unfolded into two horns at the back, was you the pilot inside, Theresa...?"

Inside Theresa's room, facing Himeko's questioning, the white-haired little girl scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

I thought I wouldn't be discovered...

"This is a red line!"

"You should have just kept quiet..."

"you!……"

Himeko already knew that Xu Qi and his group were involved in manufacturing these illegal exoskeleton armors.

From the very beginning of 956, the matter of the unregistered exoskeleton armor piloted by Xu Qi has been suppressed.

I turned a blind eye before, but I didn't expect Theresa to get involved too.

Now that's great, the police and criminals are in cahoots, who can catch them?

Seeing that Himeko still looked serious and focused, Theresa leaned closer and said, "How about... we build one for you too?"

"Do you think these exoskeleton armors are like cabbages, something you can just build one on a whim? Who do you think I am to Xu Qi? Do you think they'd build one for me? Besides, this is a matter of principle!"

Theresa nodded thoughtfully, understanding the key point in Himeko's words.

Now she wasn't flustered anymore, and she put on a tough front, saying, "You little brat! You're still after Xu Qi, aren't you?!"

Himeko's face fell, but her expression immediately changed.

"Oh dear, my dear Theresa, why are we sisters separated like that..."

Theresa glared at him!

No? You can share this?! Oh, I've already shared it with many girls... but can you justify telling me this so openly?!

"No, I haven't even eaten yet! How can I take care of your business? Besides, this is a matter of principle!"
