Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"There are still more than two months left, it's getting late. Whether it's publicity or setup, some regional competitions have already started. How come you, the Pokémon designer, don't know as much as I do?"

"Ah this..."

Can he say that he basically didn't manage anything during his previous vacation?

Nodding sheepishly, Nangong Yu listened attentively to the decisions Bronya and Mei had made.

"There's no need to worry about the stage or anything. The Anti-Entropy headquarters will install the most advanced large-scale AR equipment in the No. 5 Gymnasium in St. Freya. Then everyone will be able to clearly see the battle of the elves without needing glasses."

"The schedule is almost finalized. According to what you said before, the tournament will invite the top four teams from each region's regional competition to form four groups: A, B, C, and D. First, there will be the group stage, then the round of 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, the finals, and finally, the first Pokémon champion and the eight masters will be determined."

"Anti-Entropy can provide monetary rewards, but as for special in-game rewards, you'll probably have to design those yourself."

Nangong Yu nodded slowly: "Yes, I understand."

Master Ball and Rainbow Feather, he had planned them all out long ago.

"Just remember it in your heart."

He leaned closer to Yu and hugged Ya Ya even tighter.

Upon entering the studio, Bronya gently locked the door from the inside.

Seeing Yu's puzzled expression, Bronya tiptoed and covered her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.

She had been spying on Sister Ai Li for so long, and since she hadn't been living with Yu for the past two days, she was starting to feel a bit craving it.

Unfortunately, it was almost lunchtime, so Bronya let him go after satisfying him a little. The two sat on the same chair, nestled in his arms, breathing softly, and asked in a gentle voice, "By the way, what are your thoughts on the opening ceremony and the host of the Pokémon Tournament?"

"The opening ceremony?"

Thinking of the opening ceremony of the Olympics in the Far East, Nangong Yu immediately grinned in disgust.

"As long as it's not a director from the Far East, it's fine."

"The director's side will handle it."

"That's good. I don't want to be ridiculed by the whole world because of the opening ceremony."

With a hint of amusement, Bronya glanced at Yu, who was letting out a sigh of relief. She shifted her body, hugged his chest, buried her face in his neck, and breathed in his familiar scent. Then she asked, "What about the host?"

Bronya's breath tickled as she spoke, so he moved his neck, lowered his head, and bit Bronya's ear in return. Then he laughed and said, "Isn't there one right downstairs?"

"Sister Ellie?"

"Hmm~ She's the best candidate in my mind."

"That works too. You can go with her then."

"Huh? I want one too?"

"You're the Pokémon designer, aren't you going to participate in the first tournament?"

"..."

Just as Nangong Yu and Bronya were staring at each other, Nangong Yu's phone suddenly rang.

He pulled his phone out from under Bronya's thigh, saw the incoming call message, raised an eyebrow, and then showed the phone screen to Bronya in his arms.

"Mom Cocolia?"

Nodding, Nangong Yu answered the phone, and Bronya snuggled closer, hugging him and bringing her ear close to his.

How have you been lately?

"Thank you so much, it couldn't be better."

"That little girl Alicia went over there?"

"how do you know?"

Nangong Yu looked surprised. He remembered that Ai Li had only been here for two days. How did the other side know?

"She told me that she contacts me, her mother-in-law, quite often."

Hearing that smirking, teasing voice, Nangong Yu coughed awkwardly and said meaningfully, "Don't talk nonsense, Bronya is still here."

Nangong Yu felt a twist in her waist and immediately winced in pain.

"You deserve it, kid."

After a lighthearted remark, Cocolia got down to business: "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. The reason I contacted you this time is because I need your help with something."

"I'll help? Sure, go ahead."

When Bronya learned that Cocolia's mother still needed Rain's help, her eyes widened with curiosity.

“I have a friend whose daughter wants to study in the Far East.”

"Ah."

"Should I have him pick someone up?" Nangong Yu nodded. That was easy.

“That child was originally a well-known painter, but according to her mother, who is also my friend, she suddenly wanted to learn to draw comics for some reason. Her family couldn’t persuade her otherwise, and she insisted on going to the Far East to learn.”

"Uh-huh?"

Nangong Yu, who had been somewhat casual, was stunned and slightly opened her mouth.

Wait, this feeling of déjà vu...

“But my friend and his family are very busy and can’t take her with them, so they came to me for help.”

"So, do you need me to pick her up and take care of her for a while?"

"Wow, that's pretty savvy. That's exactly what I was planning to do."

Tsk, it really is true. Could he have become Kanda Sorata? But he doesn't live in Sakura-sou.

"Now that you understand, I'll leave this matter to you. That child is a very innocent girl, and she's also my good friend's daughter. You can't bully her, understand?"

"I'm not the kind of person who would bully girls."

She offered a small rebuttal, and immediately heard Cocolia's laughter from the other side.

Simple-minded, an artist, who wants to learn comics.

Well, this is definitely confirmed. By the way, should we rename the new house Sakura-sou?

"Just keep an eye on things. I'll send you the child's information later. She'll probably be taking a flight in two weeks. As for the flight information... send it along with the information as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, write down that child's name."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu chuckled.

What's there to remember? It's just Shiina Makoto...

"Her name is Gretchen, so don't call her by the wrong name when you answer the phone."

Greta?!

Nangong Yu stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Chapter 151: Relocation and Initial Planning Completed!

"Hey~ it hurts!"

Bronya glared at Yu and quickly pried the hand off her chest.

What exactly did Cocolia's mother say just now? Why is Rain so excited?

Rubbing is fine, but scratching hard can really hurt!

"Hug, sorry!"

Nangong Yu pulled the phone away a little, her voice full of apology.

He was quite surprised by Gretchen's words, and his hand unconsciously tightened its grip.

"Um, does it hurt a lot? Should I rub it for you?"

"Ok?"

Faced with Bronya's death stare, Nangong Yu immediately turned his gaze away with a forced smile.

"what happened?"

Suddenly, Cocolia's puzzled voice came from the phone's speaker. Nangong Yu leaned closer and replied, "It's nothing, I just talked to Bronya about something."

"Oh, never mind. I can't be bothered with your business. Just don't forget to pick them up in two weeks. I'm hanging up now."

"Bye~"

With a beep, the call was disconnected. Bronya rubbed her hands for a while and no longer felt the pain. She then looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What did we just talk about? Why do you look so surprised?"

“My mom told me that one of my favorite artists suddenly wanted to draw comics.”

"How desperate could someone be?"

Bronya immediately made a sarcastic remark.

You have to understand that the comic book industry is quite competitive. If someone is called a painter by Yu, then they must have some fame and have no trouble selling their paintings.

"And that person is the daughter of someone Cocolia's mother knows, and she insisted on coming to the Far East."

"Le, it's one thing to want to draw comics, but to come to the far east, the most chaotic place, what's this guy thinking?"

"Who knows? Anyway, my job is to receive her and take care of her for a while."

Bronya laughed: "No wonder you were so excited. I thought it was some idiot, but it turns out it's your favorite painter. By the way, how good is that person's painting skills?"

"His drawing skills? They're probably not bad..."

Since Cocolia calls Gretchen a renowned painter, her painting skills are naturally beyond reproach.

Hearing this, Bronya's eyes lit up: "Then do you think we could bring her to Gensokyo? Our art team is always short-staffed!!"

Should we bring Gretsch over here?

After a moment of contemplation, Nangong Yu opened her eyes wide and met Bronya's gaze, then said with a smile, "You know what, it actually seems to work."

Luring... oh no, I mean guiding Gretchen to join Gensokyo and work for him? That sounds like a pretty promising idea.

Of course, he was definitely not interested in Greta's fair and delicate feet.

When the time comes, we'll introduce her to the highly skilled Eromanga teacher so she can be her instructor. After learning from her, she'll naturally need a lot of practice.
