Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 145 Planning
Although Fujikawa Shunpei may have had ill intentions, he did indeed open up new avenues of thought for Shiratori Seiya.

Once people get used to a comfortable environment, they are no longer willing to take risks.

Shiratori Seiya admitted that he was the same way.

After having the system, I wanted to make money by utilizing its functions.

He had considered starting a company, but his plan was to earn enough money and settle down before choosing a relatively stable industry to become a hands-off boss.

Leaving aside the fact that the first time he trained Saori Hasegawa, he didn't make much money, and although he later trained Shione Hojo, he made a lot of money, but he died halfway through. So he was thinking about training a stable money-making partner first, which is why he chose Mio Takahashi.

Training Mio Takahashi is not a slow process, but it will still take at least two or three years.

However, there are clearly faster and quicker ways to make money...

Shiratori Seiya sat in the car, tilting his head back and closing his eyes.

Although they are parallel worlds, the overall pace and development of the era are similar.

This current point in time is roughly equivalent to before 2018 in my previous life, or to be more precise, around 2014.

Television dramas have undoubtedly reached their end, and the focus of entertainment has almost certainly shifted to the internet...

Whose money is easiest to make on the internet?

The future of online entertainment includes live streaming, short videos, and short dramas...

The people around me now: Shione, Saori, Mio, Suzune, the entertainment company...

A series of blurry images flashed through my mind.

In a flash, Shiratori Seiya opened his eyes and quickly opened his phone to search for the apps he usually used to watch dramas online, and then opened several video platforms.

The situation on the video platform was no different from what he usually saw; it was basically just reposting TV dramas and a few other things...

Open a few live streams at random, and the content is mostly gaming, borderline risqué content, or live streams of street idols...

Suddenly, Shiratori Seiya opened a live stream, and his swiping finger stopped.

The content of the live stream was still borderline, but this streamer was much smarter. She cosplayed as a female character from the latest hentai anime, calling out things like "Onii-chan" and "Master." The viewers in the live stream were also sending some obviously sexually repressed comments.

Shiratori Seiya's eyes lit up, and a word flashed through his mind.

Anime/Manga.

His heart started pounding. He scrolled through the live streaming section several more times, but still couldn't find the type of live stream he was looking for.

He switched to the video section and saw an anime character displayed there, so he clicked on it.

It's called a video, but it's actually just an electronic music track from the world of anime, featuring a virtual anime character. Shiratori Seiya vaguely recognized it because this character is very popular within the anime community...

If we were to draw a comparison, her image would be similar to Hatsune Miku from her previous life, but she's not nearly as popular right now.

Shiratori Seiya didn't have the patience to watch the whole video, so he went straight to the comments section and focused his attention on one comment.

"I wish I had a girlfriend like Xizi Jiang in my life."

Looking at this comment, Shiratori Seiya fell into deep thought.

The anime and manga culture in Japan remains quite prevalent, and the society as a whole has just weathered the economic bubble, with the pressures of life driving people to seek so-called "sincere" emotional support...

After all, characters in anime are artistically crafted, and their characters don't have as many complex thoughts as real-life partners.

Loving you is simply loving you, without any other element besides love.

However, the concept of virtual idols has not yet emerged, and the live streaming industry is still focused on live gaming. The so-called female streamers don't actually have a well-developed professional system...

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Shiratori Seiya had a basic idea in mind.

I'm going home immediately to start researching the current live streaming market, checking if motion capture equipment to support virtual idols has been developed, and planning my future development path.

The market rewards those who are insightful and proactive the most, and he has always been an action-oriented person.

Opportunity knocks but once; how much money can you make writing screenplays and songs?

Relying solely on the rewards provided by the system, it's hard to say whether one can become the richest person in their lifetime.

Shiratori Seiya was unusually excited at this moment, and even his nose, which had been blocked all day, was clear.

Come to think of it, the last time he was this excited was when Xiyin released her first song and made money... As if in response to what was on his mind, the phone he had just put in his pocket suddenly started to vibrate.

Upon taking it out, he saw that it was a call from Shion, and Shiratori Seiya answered it without hesitation.

"Hello? Xiyin, what brings you to call?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Shiratori Seiya could vaguely hear sounds from the street.

Is she outside now?
Just then, I heard a girl's melodious laughter:
"Hehe, judging from Kiyoya's tone, you seem quite happy today? Did something good happen?"

Even through the phone, you could feel the girl's gentle and comforting voice, like a spring breeze that made you feel inexplicably comfortable. Even without seeing her, you could feel as if she were smiling at you.

Shiratori Seiya paused for a moment, then realized that he hadn't yet emerged from his excited daydreams.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and explained in a low voice:

"Ah, I've figured some things out, and I've gotten a little carried away."

"Ok?"

On the other end of the phone, Hojo Shione seemed to have thought of something, her eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips pressed down slightly as she asked softly:
"Is it about Ms. Takahashi?"

"No."

"That's about Hasegawa?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a long sigh came from the girl on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with resentment:

"Sigh, doesn't Kiyoya miss Shione? Even just thinking about Rin would be good..."

"...No, it has nothing to do with them, but it's hard to explain in just a few words over the phone..."

Even through the phone, Shiratori Seiya could smell the strong scent of jealousy, and he quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, Xiyin, is there something you need from me that you called?"

Can't I call you, Kiyoya, just because there's nothing wrong?

Hojo Shione originally wanted to ask this question in a coquettish manner as she used to, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she swallowed the words back.

I no longer have the right to act spoiled.

Her hands gripped the phone so tightly that her fingertips turned white, and she forced a smile as she said:

"No, I just wanted to ask if Kiyoya is going home for dinner today, or if he'll be eating out?"

She paused for a moment, then continued:
"Because things aren't going smoothly with the company contract, I have to resume my schedule tomorrow. Lingyin should be moving in tomorrow, but I haven't finished dealing with her art exam training, so I wanted to discuss it with Qingzai tonight..."

So, is Kiyoya coming home for dinner tonight?

Upon hearing her mention that the company's contract wasn't going well, Shiratori Seiya unconsciously frowned. He wanted to ask for details, but felt that it probably couldn't be explained clearly in a few words over the phone, so he simply said:

"Go back. I'm heading home now. It should take about half an hour to get there."

Hearing the answer that satisfied her, Hojo Shione smiled with relief and said:

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Shiratori Seiya hurried home. It was rush hour, and the traffic took her longer than she expected, almost thirty minutes to get to her building.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, before he had even turned the corner, he heard two familiar voices.

Shiratori Seiya's heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you here?"

Without even seeing the face of the person speaking, Shiratori Seiya could imagine that she must be cold-faced, trying to kill the other person with her eyes.

"Keizai's home is Saori's home."

"..."

"What are you doing tonight? Saori's hungry..."
