The next day, Toyokawa Shoko woke up early, washed up, tidied herself up, and returned to her unit.

Akira Higashino went to the headquarters and appeared in a live stream previewing the new version of the game "Cloud Dreamland". As an information provider, Akira Higashino answered questions for game fans.

Regarding the content of the new version, apart from the background story, the main focus is on the characters. Unlike the previous version, where most of the characters were humanoid, this version features a bunch of monsters, with the only one appearing as a humanoid being Kotoko Iwanaga.

It was originally a game designed to collect followers and increase brand awareness; it served more as a publicity tool than a way to make money.

Therefore, it is natural to appear with one's real name and appearance, and to appear in one's own form.

In terms of explanation, it was said that the article was submitted by netizens, and after review, it was deemed complete, rigorous, and appropriate, so it was accepted.

As for taboos such as wearing a costume or similar items.

A MOBA game, especially in Japan, isn't really a sensitive topic. After all, Japan is such a magical place that the idea that game characters have real-life counterparts is hardly a big deal.

As the saying goes, the larger the circle, the more extraordinary people there are; the smaller the circle, the more extraordinary the extraordinary people are.

In the island nation's domestic gaming industry, there are many exceptionally talented individuals.

Also present was the copywriting representative, the most attractive person in the entire copywriting department, Gokou Ruri.

The girl, dressed in a gothic-style black and purple dress, watched the live stream chat on her computer screen and occasionally picked out some of the more normal questions about the game to ask Higashino Akira.

Akira Higashino responded readily to each of his suggestions.

With his strong personal charm and aura, he is very popular and attracts a lot of attention when he appears.

This adds a significant boost to the effectiveness of the promotion.

With the live stream nearing its end and all the necessary introductions completed, Higashino Akira prepared to answer a few last questions before bidding farewell to his viewers and logging off.

He gestured to Ruri Gokou to quickly bring up the remaining questions.

Seeing this, the girl blushed slightly as she looked at the "reasonable" questions selected from the comments by the backstage team.

"Excuse me, why are there so many voluptuous female characters in the game, but so few petite ones?"

Black Cat tried to use tactful language to avoid the live stream failing to pass censorship.

After thinking for a moment, Higashino Akira said, “Because, at most, large-breasted characters are criticized for soft pornography, but if there are too many small-breasted characters, or if they are too pornographic, they may be labeled as child pornography, and face resistance from all sectors of society and even when the game is exported overseas, which would be a greater risk.”

Ruri Gokou subconsciously glanced down at herself, her lips twitched slightly, veins bulged on her forehead, killing intent swirled, and her aura was heavy.

Ruri Gokou: "Will there be more loli characters in the future?"

Akira Higashino: "Of course, if there's a suitable story and character design, why not?"

Ruri Gokou: "What about the other non-human characters?"

Akira Higashino: "Does 'non-human' refer to urban legends like the Slit-Mouthed Woman, or ghosts like courtesans?"

Ruri Gokou: "Refers to those furry monsters."

Akira Higashino: "...Um, if anyone likes it."

Finally, the preview live stream came to an end.

Higashino Akira leaned over and glanced at the black cat's laptop. There were many strange comments scrolling by, such as "Furi is the best," "Burn Furui," and "Iron Furui."

This left him somewhat confused for a moment.

This island nation is really weird. The islanders don't even love pretty women anymore. They like monsters that haven't even taken human form yet.

That's so perverted.

This isn't a Pokémon-collecting game, so isn't there something wrong with this strange player tendency?

.........

Yotsuya House, night.

After a long day of school, the girl, wanting to support her brother's career, washed up and lay on her bed in her bedroom watching a live stream on her phone.

Her gaze lingered on the face of her brother, whom she didn't see very often, and she gradually felt her cheeks getting slightly hot.

I didn't have this feeling when I first met my brother.

As a result, I became more and more concerned about him.

The girl felt a little scared and ashamed. This brother had been so good to her, and he was willing to take her in and support her even though it didn't seem like a big deal.

But she had this rather immoral thought.

No matter what, using one's older brother as a material for spellcasting is extremely unfilial.

But she would inexplicably find herself thinking about him, and every time she didn't start thinking about him, she would end up thinking about him the whole time.

Especially after discovering that her brother had so many girlfriends, and even brought them home, and that Jingjie had moved in with her.

Whenever she thinks about those kinds of things, those kinds of noises, and the possible stories between them, the hormones in the girl's body involuntarily become active.

She is currently neither facing a survival crisis nor going hungry, and she doesn't have a high demand for games or television. Sometimes she feels lonely when Xiaohua doesn't come over to talk to her.

Gradually, without realizing it, I discovered a special way to heal myself psychologically.

The good news is that she has never been depressed.

Pleasure triggers hormones in the body, which in turn influence the mind; it's hard to feel emo unless you experience something truly heart-wrenching.

But there's more bad news: she seems to be getting increasingly unpopular.

The girl's gaze was fixed on the inexplicably attractive figure on her phone screen, and her other hand unconsciously reached under the covers, her breathing slightly rapid.

The more immoral, the more pleasurable; the more pleasurable, the more one thinks about immoral images.

Ultimately, it spiraled out of control.

Feeling a little tired, she crumpled the toilet paper into several small balls and threw them into the trash can next to the bed, not even caring whether they went in or not. With her phone screen still lit up, the girl drifted off to sleep contentedly, feeling slightly weary.

Her sleeping face was incredibly peaceful.

Unbeknownst to Yotsuya Miko, after she fell asleep, a woman quietly entered her room, looked at the figure on her phone screen, smelled the faint scent in the bedroom, and her expression became somewhat tense.

After a long silence, he finally reached out and turned off her phone screen, then picked up the crumpled paper from the ground and threw it into the trash can. Finally, he reluctantly pulled the blanket up to cover her properly.

Only then did he slowly leave Jianzi's room and walk outside.

The next day, as dawn broke.

It's the weekend.

Miko Yotsuya was jolted awake by the ringing of her best friend, Xiaohua, inviting her to go out together. After answering the phone and groggily agreeing, she sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes, scratched her head restlessly, and sat quietly for a long time before finally lifting the covers and sticking her feet out to get out of bed.

Suddenly, the girl caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened in shock, freezing her in place. She snapped back to reality in an instant.

I even felt a tingling sensation on my scalp.

She remembered that she had thrown a crumpled piece of paper on the ground last night, but why wasn't it on the ground?

The room even seemed to have been tidied up, making it much neater!

A guardian spirit older sister?

No, no, no, unless there is danger, she will basically not show herself on her own.

Moreover, spirits generally have little influence over reality.

So, besides her, the only other living person left in the house is...

broken!

The girl's pretty face turned pale, and she fell heavily backward. Her expression was somewhat dead. She pulled the blanket over her face, looking rather withdrawn, as if trying to escape reality.

What could be more deadly than secretly using your brother as a magic casting material and then being discovered by your sister-in-law in some way?

She even tidied up her room for her?

Don't be so gentle, Hiratsuka-sensei. You don't usually do much housework.

Even if we assume the worst and it's not discovered that the casting material is the older brother, just the fact that people know he's secretly studying water magic without chanting is enough to drive them crazy.

The girl, her head buried under the blanket, couldn't help but let out a mournful cry of regret, and even considered escaping Earth to live on Mars.

Unfortunately, it's impossible.

After dragging her feet for a long time, Xiao Hua called again to ask if she had gone out and if she wanted him to come pick her up. Only then did Yotsuya Miko give up and throw off the covers, revealing her small face that was flushed red from holding it in.

I pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom.

"Hmm, Jianzi, you're up."

In the living room, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was sitting on the sofa watching a morning TV program with a rather unrestrained posture, heard the noise, turned around, and greeted the little girl.

"Oh, right, I left you breakfast in the microwave. Remember to microwave it after you've finished washing up, but be careful not to burn yourself."

"Okay...okay." A girl's voice, sounding somewhat strange, came from the other end.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked over with a puzzled expression and saw that Miko's body was stiff and her face looked guilty, which felt a little strange.

baffling.

Young women these days are really baffling; I just can't understand them at all.

After washing up, I quickly ate breakfast.

As she prepared to leave, and with no sign of her "sister-in-law" reprimanding or scolding her, Yotsuya Miko still felt uneasy and even more distressed, hesitating for a while.

The girl hesitantly and tactfully asked Hiratsuka-sensei, "Um, did Shizuka-nee come to my room last night?"

"What would I do in your room?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, puzzled. "You're a big kid now, you don't need to..."

As she spoke, she suddenly realized, "Oh! I see, Jianzi, you're a little scared to sleep alone and want me to sleep with you, right?"

After all, the little sister is being so tactful and coquettish, how can the eldest sister ignore her?

Teacher Xiaojing immediately patted her chest generously, "No problem! Don't worry, I've got it covered!"

As an older sister, it's quite fulfilling to be able to provide a sense of security for my younger sister.

Moreover, seeing that Zi was scared, she immediately told her what was on her mind. How can that not be seen as a sign that she is reliable and trustworthy?

Looking back, her first meeting with Jianzi was quite unpleasant; the little girl ignored and feared her as if she were a ghost.
