Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Of course, Nangong Yu's gaze was merely one of admiration. After staring at the delicate white feet in sandals for a while, Nangong Yu walked over and tried to wave in front of her.

Soon, the smile on her face flickered, and her beautiful, light purple eyes looked at him with slight displeasure.

"Ayu, Ayu, don't disturb Mei, Gretchen is still drawing for her!"

Ai Li's voice came over, and Nangong Yu stopped teasing Mei and walked towards Gretchen's location.

The huge canvas was almost taller than Gretchen herself. From Nangong Yu's direction, he could only see her slender, fair legs and two small feet wearing white socks. Unfortunately, her little leather shoes completely covered her feet, preventing him from appreciating the beautiful, enclosed view.

Seeing that he was walking slowly, Ellie, who couldn't wait any longer, ran over and hugged him.

The pink dress she wore at home seemed a little too heavy for Ai Li. When Nangong Yu looked down, he could easily see her breasts swaying like ripples on water, even bouncing slightly with her cheerful movements. Nangong Yu was shocked by the sight, afraid that if he moved too much, the milky white waves would spill out, and he would want to use his hands to support them.

"Come and see, how's Gretchen's drawing?"

She pulled him behind the easel, and the pleasant voice drew his gaze away from gravity and onto Gretchen.

With her long blue hair, slender limbs, and petite, adorable appearance, one can't help but want to hug her from behind...

Cough cough, no, no.

Shaking off some criminal thoughts, Nangong Yu forcibly shifted her gaze to Gretchen's paintings.

An A0-sized sheet of paper was fixed to the drawing board, and as Gretchen painted, a rather three-dimensional image gradually took shape.

However, this painting...

Her long hair was braided into a large plait, and her purple eyes held a silent calm, as if nothing could stir her emotions. She wore an elaborate and gorgeous light purple kimono, the neckline of which was loose, revealing a large expanse of full, tender white flesh.

From this perspective, it doesn't seem like much. What's strange is the wisps of lightning flickering on her chest, as she pulls a purple katana from her chest, gripping its hilt.

Wow, Lei Jun!

No, how did Greta Gerwig manage to draw it like this??

Looking at the gentle girl sitting on the lawn, and then at the spirited young woman on the canvas, I couldn't say they were completely different; they were simply unrelated.

Ai Li secretly chuckled as she saw Nangong Yu's surprised expression.

“Gresh is a very talented child. She seems to be able to see through people’s hearts and draw things that are not what they appear to be.”

"What happened to Mei...?"

How did she end up like this? Even though they're different, the difference shouldn't be this huge, especially since they're in different games!

"Don't be in such a hurry, Ayu. I'll tell you a secret: don't let Mei's usual well-behaved appearance fool you, she's actually quite a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)~"

She said she was telling Mei secretly, but she deliberately raised her voice, as if afraid Mei wouldn't hear her, and continued speaking.

"Ayu, you haven't been to Mei's room. There are lots of interesting things in her room!"

Ellie emphasized the word "interesting".

At this moment, Nangong Yu noticed that Mei's body seemed to tremble slightly, and her face turned a little red.

Glancing at Mei, Airi released Nangong Yu's arm, stood in a position where everyone could see her, straightened her body, made a gesture of sheathing her sword, and then looked firmly ahead, saying calmly, "I will personally change this corrupt world."

"Alicia!!!!!"

Just like that slightly off-key shout from a certain villainous storyline, Mei couldn't hold back any longer. Her face flushed, she rushed forward, wanting to shut Airi up.

Seeing this, Airi chuckled and quickly darted behind Nangong Yu, grabbing his shoulder and peeking out from the side, playfully sticking out her tongue at Mei.

"you......"

Her purple eyes were filled with tears, Mei's face was flushed, and she was trembling with embarrassment. But because Airi was lying on Nangong Yu's back, she was too embarrassed to get too close and could only stand there in helpless rage.

"Oh, Mei, don't be angry. It's okay to be a little silly sometimes. It's part of your unique cuteness~"

"You still said that!"

"Yeah, Mei-neechan is so cool!"

Gretchen, whose painting was almost finished, turned around, smiled, and gave Mei a thumbs-up that was covered in paint.

Even Gretchen...

Attracted by Gretchen's voice, Mei's somewhat aggrieved voice froze when she saw the painting on the canvas.

Forgetting her shyness, she took a step forward, somewhat bewildered, pointed to the drawing board, then to herself: "Is this me?"

"Yes, this is Mei-neechan."

Greta nodded in affirmation.

"?"

How come she doesn't know what she looks like?

Tilting her head in confusion, Mei leaned even closer.

The revealing clothes look a bit revealing, but that sword-drawing move is strangely cool. Maybe I could try it at night...

No, no, no, she's not suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)!!

"So, isn't Gretchen's drawing fantastic?"

She suddenly felt a weight behind her, and a wisp of pink fur floated in front of her.

"not bad."

It just seems like it has nothing to do with her.

For some reason, she began to doubt the point of all the posing she had done, despite her aching back and sore waist.

"And I haven't settled the score with you for what happened earlier!"

"Don't be angry, it's just that Mei has always seemed a bit distant from everyone, so I wanted to show everyone how cute Mei is~"

Upon hearing this, Mei suddenly felt a toothache.

Isn't it obvious why she keeps her distance? In the entire dormitory, she and Nangong Yu have no relationship, and she's not interested in people who juggle multiple relationships. Being friends is fine, but that kind of thing is out of the question.

Mei had already vowed in her heart that she would never become one of them!

At that moment, Gretchen tiptoed and took the painting down, then walked up to Mei and said, "Mei-neechan, this is for you."

"Huh? For me?"

"Yeah, because I feel like Mei-neechan would really like it."

These words made Mei's hand stiffen for a moment, but she quickly reached out and took the painting.

Greta was right, she really liked it.

Her purple eyes, just like hers, were crystal clear, as if they could see into a person's heart. Suddenly, Mei was a little hesitant to meet Gretsch's gaze. After carefully putting away the drawing, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Gretsch."

"It's okay, as long as Mei-neechan likes it."

　SOUSUo:児久⒋≌０≥%㈣糁》】伍[^⑹↓'si After speaking, Gretchen turned her gaze to Mr. Knight and her sister Alicia.

"Sir Knight, little sister Alicia, may I draw a picture for you?"

"Really? Of course!"

With a happy shout, Airi immediately clung to Nangong Yu beside her.

"Should we invite Xilin along?" she suddenly asked.

Looking upstairs, Nangong Yu pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, Xier just told me that Xilin is streaming right now, she's probably already playing games."

at the same time.

On the second floor of the dormitory, Sirin, completely unaware of the commotion downstairs, turned on her live stream and excitedly clicked on the new game from Gensokyo.

City Skyline, Initiation!

Chapter 190 City Skyline: What a benevolent mayor!

【start up! 】

[Wuhu, the new game in Gensokyo is doing well, brothers!]

[It's said that this game is made by a new team in Gensokyo. I feel it's unnecessary to raise expectations too high. Judging from the live stream of the mini-game festival, even the veteran developer didn't appear.]

It doesn't matter, just believe first!

The barrage of comments flashed by, but Sirin had no time to pay attention. After the game was launched, the entire screen went dark as the Yin-Yang Orb icon of Gensokyo Company appeared.

"It's time to start from scratch."

A somewhat deep female voice slowly rang out, and then a glimmer of light began to appear.

The seed underground sprouted, illuminating the metal pipes buried beside it. Following the pipes forward, it quickly broke through the soil.

hula.

A speeding car drove across the scene, and a highway that cut across the entire wasteland appeared in the frame.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds, as if casting a ray of hope across this barren land. In the distance, a bustling metropolis appeared and disappeared in the thick fog.

The perspective then shifts to the car's viewpoint on the highway. As it continues to move forward, buildings are erected on both sides of the road, and bridges are rapidly constructed.

Then, the background music shifted and became somewhat more energetic.

Countless high-rise buildings have sprung up, and residents have begun to live in the once barren area. When the rain falls, the puddles on the road reflect the bustling scene.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—the four seasons change, and in this changing time, the entire city is undergoing tremendous changes.

Skyscrapers are constantly being built, cars flow endlessly on the extensive highways, ships cut through waterways, and airplanes streak across the sky.

"You are the all-knowing and all-seeing one, you are the creator, and the city was born from your hand."

As the narration ended, the scene froze on a panoramic view of a magnificent city.

Ah, this light! Ah, this water!

【Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a mini-game? You call this a mini-game???】

[It's just CG; the actual game probably won't be that detailed, right?]

[I was initially hesitant to play this simulation game, but after seeing this CG, I inexplicably got excited!]

This time, the CG of Nangong Yu is based on the promotional video of the previous game, Cities: Skylines 2. Combined with the technology of Gensokyo, it looks really impressive. This CG alone is a clear game-changer compared to the other games on display.
