Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

She stared intently at Sheng Yan with a resentful look on her face.

Sheng Yan grabbed her wrist, pulled her onto his lap, and pinched her smooth cheek, asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Qinye pouted, then continued, "It's just that I feel like our relationship has become a bit distant..."

Qinye doesn't hide her emotions; she's probably feeling a bit unbalanced inside!

These past few days, Katsuhiko has been incredibly doting on all the wives and girlfriends except for her and Sayuri, who is pregnant and inconvenient. They beg him to leave them alone, but he's so perfunctory with her. He stops as soon as she says "stop for a minute"... Isn't he being too distant? He's her husband, can't he be a little more casual?

"Eat first, you'll have energy after you eat." Sheng Yan picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it to her mouth.

Kotoha took a bite of the meat and tilted her head, saying, "Don't be so gentle with me. I like it when you're tough, like you did with Eiyo-neechan that day..."

Yingdai spat out a mouthful of soup, her face flushed red, and cursed, "Pervert! Don't talk while eating!"

After finishing his meal in a cozy, cuddly manner, Katsuhiko saved up a coin with a gold edge, casually exchanged it for the cover of "One-Punch Man".

Katsuhiko hasn't seen this anime.

The original artwork style of Chapter 124 of "One-Punch Man"

June 23, Wednesday, light rain.

Originally, it was Eiyo's day, but because Mikoto, who was supposed to be on Tuesday, deliberately gave up the opportunity to avoid losing control and actually "breaking down," the day was moved forward. Eiyo, who was supposed to be on Wednesday, became Tuesday, and Kotoyo, who was supposed to be on Thursday, became today.

Of course, Qinye rushed to Yingdai's house as soon as she got off work last night, taking over her time after 8 pm.

Although Yingdai deeply abhorred Qinye's boundless and wicked behavior, she had set a principle of taking things slowly and steadily for herself last night, so she didn't drive Qinye away. Instead, she went to sleep in the next room and even put on headphones and locked the door.

Around 10 p.m., she heard Kotoyo crying and calling for help next door. Eiyo turned over and ignored her, then fell asleep until her alarm clock didn't ring.

Yingdai experienced the joy of a slow and steady approach. She only did it twice last night, which was particularly beneficial for her health. This morning, she felt refreshed and invigorated.

She prepared breakfast for three people, using ingredients sourced from Mikoto's convenience store.

Humming a song, I served the milky white sea cucumber soup to the table, and then arranged bread slices, fried eggs, cucumber strips, tomato slices, and pork floss... The door to the next bedroom was still closed.

"Dinner's ready!" Yingdai called out through the sliding door as she set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Katsuhiko walked out of the bedroom shirtless, holding a stack of One-Punch Man artwork in his hand.

Eiyo turned around and asked, "Where's Kotoha-chan? She's not dead, is she? You beast!"

Yingdai burst out laughing before she could finish speaking.

Perhaps because Kotoha had insisted so strongly last night that Katsuhiko be more unrestrained with her, saying she didn't care what she screamed about and didn't need to worry about her dying… and Katsuhiko complied. Last night was truly a night of wailing and screaming! Kotoha will probably be quite satisfied…

As Yingdai was smiling, Qinye, holding onto the door, walked out barefoot.

Her hair was a little messy. Although her complexion was rosy, her lips were pink, and her eyes were bright, she always seemed a little drunk and absent-minded when she blinked.

She was only wearing a thin blue slip dress, which looked like it had been thrown on haphazardly; the hem hadn't been pulled down and was folded up to her upper thighs, and she wasn't wearing any underwear...

Because it was an English-style nightgown, it was too big for Qinye, and the straps hung down over most of her chest.

Yingdai paused, unable to bear looking at her, wiped her hands on her apron, and quickly went to Qinye's side to straighten her nightgown, suppressing a laugh as she said, "You have plenty of time today, it's all yours, are you satisfied?"

Qin Ye's messy hair seemed to electrify, standing on end. Her pink lips parted, her eyes widened, and her clear black and white pupils glanced at Sheng Yan before quickly returning to their original position. With a trembling voice, she whispered, "I took up your time last night, and now I'm giving it back. I... I feel like my brain is broken. Every time I see my husband, erotic images pop into my head..."

Katsuhiko had just placed the manga manuscript on the dining table and was about to go to the restroom when he immediately turned back and said, "No way, the rest of the time is yours. Even when you're eating, you have to sit on my lap. Come here right now, let's wash each other's faces and brush our teeth..."

Katsuhiko didn't know that the first season of One-Punch Man had a total of 12 episodes. He thought it was like Naruto, with more than 12 episodes.

One gold coin is generated every half hour, but one gold coin can only be exchanged for one episode.

The time locked on Kotoha is only seven days, or 168 hours. Even if they keep in contact for 168 hours, only 336 episodes can be released.

Of course, we also have to deduct the occasional bonus coins Kotoha gives out, and the recovery time after she fell unconscious… While waiting for her to recover, Katsuhiko read the manga. It was fantastic, full of plot twists, imaginative ideas, and hilarious scenes that were impossible to look away from. Katsuhiko couldn't wait any longer, so he gave Kotoha a [Recovery Potion]. After Kotoha woke up, she shyly insisted on starting over, like kissing first… She was clearly fully recovered; she was obviously just deliberately stalling for time…

Last night I worked for over eight hours and only managed to get nine episodes. Although One-Punch Man is destined to be abandoned and have a bad ending... every episode is very interesting, so we should release as many episodes as possible, and then find the original author to continue the series.

Breakfast was sticky and greasy. Katsuhiko was only wearing a pair of shorts, while Kotoha was only wearing an oversized silk nightgown. She was sitting on Katsuhiko's lap, looking restless and itchy all over...

"You two, that's enough!"

Yingdai blushed, slammed her chopsticks on the table, and stood up abruptly.

"It wasn't me..." Qin Ye said, her face flushed, turning her head away. "My husband insists on doing this, what can I do... He's always tempting me..."

With a stern face, Sheng Yan pinched Qin Ye's chin, held the small spoon filled with sea cucumber soup to her lips, and said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly."

Qinye, panting heavily, whispered, "How can I eat like this..."

"This is just too lewd! I can't stay in this house anymore!" Yingdai downed the sea cucumber soup in her bowl, then grabbed a slice of bread, stuffed it into her mouth, and cursed as she walked towards the bedroom. "I'm going to change and go to work. Do whatever you want! Shameless..."

Katsuhiko redeemed another chapter of the manga, took out a [Recovery Potion], and held it to Kotoha's mouth, who was panting on the dining table. He said, "Kotoha-chan, cheer up and open your mouth. You've lost a lot of water, so quickly replenish it."

"I'm not drinking this little bit of water... I want bottled water..."

Qin Ye glanced at the small bottle that looked like a glucose oral solution with drowsy eyes, then picked up the mineral water next to her and drank it.

The mineral water contained relatively little of the "restoration potion" ingredient, but it still restored some of my energy and strength. I looked up at the clock on the wall.

Nine and a half… …

The mobile phone on the cabinet in the entryway rang. Qin Ye had bought it specifically for business discussions.

Kotoha's mind went blank for a moment, and she jumped up and said, "Oh no, Deputy Ward Chief Noda is coming to inspect our factory today, I'm going to be late..."

Today, the food processing plant, after receiving a voluntary donation of 300 million yen from Masayuki Shiraki, has been fully expanded and is now operating at full capacity. It has become a large enterprise with more than 8,000 employees and is thriving. It has become a benchmark for the real economy in the midst of a sluggish economic climate, and Kotoha has been recognized as a "star entrepreneur".

In addition to building five new food processing workshops, they have also added a new production line for Blue Bull energy drinks.

The current Blue Cow energy drink, endorsed by Yumi Kanzaki, has fully opened up the market. At 200 yen a bottle, it is still in short supply, and scalpers have appeared on the market selling it for 2000 yen a bottle.

Many distributors are scrambling to bid, paying deposits, down payments, and security deposits to obtain the right to sell Blue Bull energy drinks.

Just like the monopolized tobacco industry, they can attract customers simply by putting Blue Bull beverage on their shelves.

As for the [Recovery Potion] and [Focus Potion], Katsuhiko's two living fathers already knew their effects from tasting them many times.

However, they were quite clever; they didn't ask, didn't say anything, and pretended not to know, just kept their heads down and worked.

Katsuhiko was thus freed from the process of personally adding ingredients. Every now and then, he would store the [Focus Potion] he had exchanged into the workshop's safe deposit box, and then have his two "living fathers" add ingredients in the workshop.

Of course, Katsuhiko still controls the [Recovery Potion] himself, giving it only to his own family and not selling it to others.

This was something the two fathers agreed with. When Noda Ichiro drank it and vomited blood last time, they were really panicked when they took the drink to be tested. Fortunately, the test results showed that it was sugar water with added coloring.

The two fathers also silently decided that they would never again try to curry favor with any powerful figures using "miracle drugs," because every powerful figure has a few mistresses... Meanwhile, Katsuhiko's situation of stealing Shiraki Masayuki made Katsuhiko's father quite uneasy.

Of course, some competitors also took it for testing, and the results showed it was just sugar water.

There were also cases of industrial spies being planted to infiltrate the factory and steal the formula, eventually finding the location of the safe deposit box. However, to open the door to the safe deposit box, which was comparable to a bank vault, without using a bomb, one either had to deal with Mr. Kudo and Katsuhiko's father simultaneously, or deal with Katsuhiko alone.

The gate has double security: Katsuhiko's father has the key, and Mr. Kudo has the password...

Sheng Yan has been coming to the company every week for the past few weeks, working a full eight hours without ever leaving early or being absent.

Helping Yutaka Tanaka in pursuit of his dream of becoming a great director is also helping yourself.

Currently, Xia Ying She's reputation is tarnished due to the overwhelming strength of its adult video department and the newly added animation department. Originally intended to produce the "Naruto" anime and establish itself as a legitimate animation production department, Tanaka Yutaka couldn't resist producing the hentai anime that Katsuhiko had obtained from Shiraki Masae first, thus distorting the public's perception of the company.

When Tanaka Yutaka attends parties, he always gets told, "Xia Ying She! They make pornographic films, I know..."

Tanaka Yutaka couldn't appear on official television stations, and even when he was on news footage, he was only briefly shown and never mentioned... He desperately needed to clear his name.

I went out in the morning with a black umbrella. This is Eiyo's house. Turn right and it's Kotoha's house. Turn left and it's Kanzaki Yumi's house.

"Honey, I'll go first. Please walk slowly and don't rush..." Qin Ye closed and locked the door, straightened her black suit and black straight-leg pants, opened another blue umbrella, and ran along the wall.

Ever since Katsuhiko called his two fathers to say he wanted to buy a house nearby, everyone has started to take action.

This house was bought by Yumi Kanzaki with her own money.

The front door is locked now, and there's a flip-up wooden sign next to the doorbell. One side says "No one will disturb" and the other says "Please ring the doorbell." It says "No one will disturb" now, as Yumi has already gone to the company.

She's been too busy lately, so Katsuhiko exchanged all the gold coins he had earned from Sayuri for song lyrics and gave them to Kanzaki Yumi. There were about a hundred songs. Except for Saturdays, which were her days, when she would spend time with Katsuhiko until dawn, Kanzaki Yumi had hardly left the recording studio.

Today, Xia Ying Studio has also created a recording studio and music video shooting location exclusively for Kanzaki Yumi. She even hired her own manager, who is her high school music teacher, a 31-year-old with a gentle demeanor. Due to the economic downturn and the failure of the predicted baby boom, many teachers have been laid off. When Kanzaki Yumi passed by Xia Ying Studio's audition venue, she saw the music teacher hiding there… and finally, despite Tanaka Yutaka's disapproving look, she led the mature and elegant teacher away.

Passing by Yumi Kanzaki's house, you'll reach Yuma Kanzaki's house. A wooden sign hangs next to the doorbell that reads "Please ring the doorbell."

She actually worked on the meticulously crafted artwork for "Naruto" at home... drawing five episodes a day, a speed that even periodicals couldn't match.

Katsuhiko then took out the 10 episodes of "One-Punch Man" that he had been working on the previous night, and then rang the doorbell.

A moment later, Yuzhen opened the small door of the main gate and poked her head out.

Although she is still in university and hasn't graduated yet, she has already registered as a wife, and her eyes and brows exude a mature and alluring charm befitting a married woman.

Her ponytail, which Yumi had secretly cut short, had now fallen past her shoulders. She had a paintbrush clipped to each ear, and although she probably hadn't washed her face, there was still some eye boogers in the corners of her eyes. However, her fair complexion, pink lips, and clear black and white eyes did not detract from her beauty.

Holding a wooden floral umbrella, she wore a set of off-white pajamas and pajama bottoms. Her originally unremarkable chest was now entering a second stage of development, creating two distinct, full, and rounded curves.

Yuma Shinsaki glanced at both sides of the alleyway, then her gaze fell on Katsuhiko's face. Her eyes were slightly glazed as she cautiously asked, "Honey, where's Kotoha?"

Because Yuma was badly hurt by Katsuhiko last time, she's still traumatized and can't forget him, so she's quite conflicted.

She really couldn't manage without anyone's help, and she was too embarrassed to ask for help. But Qin Ye would always show up uninvited, and although she'd always scold her afterward, she kind of liked her lack of boundaries… Now that Qin Ye wasn't home, she shouldn't let him in, otherwise she wouldn't have time to finish her artwork today. It was a little frustrating, but the longer she endured it, the better it would feel; she'd be free the day after tomorrow…

“He went to work,” Katsuhiko casually mentioned, then handed over the One-Punch Man artwork. “Fix this up a bit, and submit it as your original work.”

"You really got it?" Yuma Kanzaki grabbed the artwork, quickly flipped through it, and was immediately dumbfounded. She exclaimed, "What is this?!"

Katsuhiko handed Yuma Kanzaki her artwork, which was the original artwork by the original author ONE. The style was even more rough than the draft, and could be described as "abstract," "soulful," "unbearable to look at," and "entirely based on imagination."

"You're a cartoonist, after all. Look at the plot and the panel layout, it's fantastic!"

"Is it great?" Yuma Kanzaki opened her eyes wide and looked at it again. "How come I can't see it?"

Yuma Kamisaki used all the "Focus Potion" she drank on her drawing skills, and she is still in the early stages of developing her manga creation abilities.

"You idiot, you're only good for being a tool." Katsuhiko said, pulling the drawing back.

"No, I know I was wrong. I will try harder and I will study."

Yuma Kanzaki quickly hugged the artwork to her chest and continued, "It's definitely going to be a fantastic piece of work. I won't take a single penny of the money I earn from it. Following my husband's instructions, I'll have a guilty and grateful heart and return it to the original author. It's just a matter of the title. I'll use it temporarily. Once I create my own manga and put that annoying Yumi Kanzaki in check, I'll return it to the original author."

She remembered Katsuhiko's warning to her perfectly in the bedroom at Kotoha's house last time. At that time, she felt that every word Katsuhiko said was stabbing her heart from bottom to top and then her scalp, as if her soul was about to burst out of her scalp...

"Let's find the original author first!"

Katsuhiko didn't know there were two authors: one was the original author ONE, but unfortunately his art style was too "soulful," "grotesque," "unbearable to look at," and "entirely based on imagination," so it was not presentable.

However, the plot and scene composition are exceptionally good and have received high praise.
