Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Junko... I'm going to get angry if you say that again."

Motoko Kobayakawa was thinking that after Junko's child was born, she could use the time she had gained to let Akira Kuroba spend more time with the child.

Children still need a father.

Even though this father was somewhat unconventional...

It's better to have something than nothing.

"Oh dear, don't be so shy... Young man Ming, congratulations on gaining two beauties, one big and one small~ Hehehe."

"Ms. Motoko is indeed a beauty, but you, teacher..."

It's barely cute, but it's a bit outdated.

"You brat! Just wait until I turn you into a mummy! I'll show you just how thirsty a single woman of marriageable age can be!"

"..."

Kuroba Akira ate in silence. Teacher, your speech is typical of a minor character. I hope you can handle it when the time comes.

Sure enough, one day in the future, Junko Ohno showed the most embarrassing expression of her life.

……

Time passed by like this.

Life goes on as usual.

Everyone is making steady progress on their work.

After entering a stable period of serialization, Meng Hui had her own studio and assistants, her digital painting skills became more and more proficient, and she could also help draw game concept art in her spare time. Her dark circles gradually faded, and she regained her vitality.

Shiori bought an apartment on the rooftop of the building where Moe Studio was located and lived with Moe. In addition to writing "Imouto wa Imouto wa Iroha", she also changed her own novel from online serialization to paperback, and even took on a movie script. She became super rich and her career was a great success.

Ziyin kept her promise and became famous after starring in an inspirational movie about a blind girl. She then starred in a popular TV series about solving incredible cases. In addition, Makoto wrote a super popular song for her that was as popular as Lemon, which also made her a popular singer. She became a rising star and replaced Lanyi.

The trams and roadside billboards have all been transformed into Shion, and Shion's silhouette is becoming increasingly unattainable... just kidding.

After each achievement, Ziyin would immediately come to the coffee shop to exchange time, book him for a week, and then kidnap Kuroba Akira to go on vacation to the other side of the world.

Thanks to Shion, Kuroba Akira also became a frequent traveler abroad, and also got to see what other countries in this world were like, and even met many foreign gods.

The result was that he had a key hanging on his eyebrow, and his eyes were opened.

Although in Japan, gods are unknown to the public, in some countries, gods have been completely integrated into human society and are not even called 'gods' anymore.

In Kuroba Akira's homeland in his previous life, there were many more who called those supernatural beings 'spirits' or 'immortals'.

These beings live in human society just like ordinary people, without deliberately trying to highlight their identity.

Their way of acquiring faith is no longer about building shrines and temples, waiting for people to offer incense and pray for divine protection. Instead, it has become more pragmatic, mainly relying on emotional connections with the local people to maintain their own faith... Here, it's not called faith, but 'karma,' which is the same as the meaning of karma that Kuroo explained before, only with an additional layer of faith here.

Some of them work as police officers, specializing in punishing evildoers and resolving disputes, and are respected by everyone.

Some run snack shops, where the food is delicious and inexpensive, and is loved by everyone.

Some even became village chiefs, leading everyone out of poverty and into prosperity, gaining the support of the villagers.

The gods here don't need agents at all, because there's no need; they follow the people's line.

The homeland that should have been so familiar has become so unfamiliar, but Akira Kuroba feels that this is how it should be... The gods in Japan are too old-fashioned and should have been changed long ago.

Lan Yi became increasingly low-key. In the first few months, she was constantly bothered by paparazzi, but after following her for a while, the reporters realized that she was just living a normal campus life. In addition, with the rise of Zi Yin, Lan Yi became less eye-catching.

She's currently living the most carefree life. After spring break, she became a café employee to get a share of the profits. But unlike the others who lust after Kuroba Akira, she spends all her free time going on dates with Kuroba Akira... just ordinary dates like a couple.

Because it was so normal, Kuroba Akira was a little uncomfortable at first, but after learning that Ran Yi just wanted to slowly cultivate their relationship, Kuroba Akira's affection for her increased significantly.

Angels! New angels! Real angels!

Incidentally, having only a marriage application was not enough to fulfill the condition of seeing Kikurihime again, but Lan Yi decided to obediently wait until graduation.

In early August, the first week of summer vacation, Akira Kuroba listlessly slumped over a table in a coffee shop, complaining.

"Damn it, how can summers in island nations be so hot..."

A year later, Akira Kuroba once again expressed this sentiment.

"Here you go, Kuroba-kun, with your strawberry shaved ice."

"Oh, thank you."

Shin-chan served strawberry shaved ice. Kuroba Akira felt a little more comfortable from the cool air, but before eating, he asked a question just to be on the safe side.

"Um, Zhencheng, this time the shaved ice didn't have any weird seasonings added, right?"

"Don't worry, I kept an eye on my sister the whole time during the production process and didn't let her add anything unnecessarily."

"That's good……"

Kuroba Akira finally felt relieved and started eating. Mainly because of the previous experience, he no longer wanted to taste the ocean in normal food; he had already had enough of it.

"Is the game finished?"

"Yes, it's basically all done. Now we just need to burn it onto a CD."

After six months, Chuxin Studio's first game has finally been completed.

After the start of summer vacation, Kuroba Akira worked as a bug tester and finally completed the full-process testing of the game's 1.0 version a week before the summer CM.

That's right, this game will be released as an original indie game at the CM doujinshi convention.

They're following the same old path as Type-Moon.

With Kuroba Akira's existing financial resources, he could easily have established a game publishing company and independently published games. However, as this was his first game with only five or six developers, Kuroba Akira decided to start by building a reputation within the industry.

I don't expect it to become a new era of fan fiction miracles, but it should at least be a masterpiece that leaves a deep impression.

"I'll say it with a smile," Zhencheng said.

"I hope it sells well, after all, it's a game that everyone worked hard on for half a year to make."

"With the future helping with live-streaming sales, there shouldn't be any worries about sales."

As for promotion and marketing, she's already a top-tier livestreamer, and that's all in the future.

Moreover, with the widespread use of smartphones by ordinary people, information spreads incredibly fast, especially in the live streaming industry, which is booming.

Because of the precedent set by the virtual streamer Future, others saw that this approach could attract a large number of fans without having to show their faces, and they all rushed to imitate it. In a short time, a large number of virtual streamers in suits sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

However, because there are always new tricks in future live streams, she still firmly holds the throne of the top female live streamer. In addition, the quality of her video production is also very high. She also likes to play with abstract and bizarre content, and her fan base can be said to include the general public.

Becoming famous is both a good thing and a bad thing. As expected, she was harassed by obsessive fans and almost got exposed. Fortunately, she had powerful backers. The online harassers and live streaming platforms were able to help her get rid of them, and she also received full protection in real life, with some of the influence of the Xiaolin family helping to protect her personal information.

No one could have imagined that this famous streamer wouldn't live in his own home, but instead would live in an inconspicuous shrine to do his live streams.

The shrine is no longer open to the public. Since the gods are no longer here and Kuroo has no shortage of worshippers, there's no point in keeping it open. So they simply put up a sign prohibiting unauthorized personnel from entering.

However, for safety reasons, she stopped going to school in the future and has now become a shut-in again... oh no, she should be called a full-time streamer, since she has probably earned more money in the past six months than Qiu Zi has earned in her entire life.

Akiko also retired early. Now, apart from continuing to voice a long-running national animation, she doesn't have much work to do. She enjoys the reputation and treatment of a senior voice actress. She usually cooks for the children or comes to Kuroba Akira's house to fulfill her duties as a wife.

Adults don't participate in the children's café games, so Akiko and Hongxiang can take Kuroba Akira away whenever they want. Of course, they won't go too far, leaving more time for other people, probably only once a week.

The ban on overnight stays has long been lifted. After all, if people want to stay out of sight, frequenting an unknown shrine would only alert those with ulterior motives.

Furthermore, Kazuhiro Murasaki, who is Akira Kuroba's father-in-law and Shion's father, received advance notice and made preparations. He launched a large data plan and a series of related services during the boom of smartphone adoption, and has now surpassed the other two operators to become the number one telecommunications operator in Japan, with a market share of up to 70%, making a fortune.

Then, after Shion became famous, the media also dug up her background. After the public learned that she was actually the eldest daughter of the Murasaki family, her fame was further amplified, and the Murasaki family had become a super-rich family.

Kuroba Akira's original vision is gradually becoming a reality, and it's even more explosive than he originally expected. He finally feels like he's connecting with the era he lived in in his previous life.

However, one question lingered in Akira Kuroba's mind, refusing to go away...

Six months have passed, and Black Tail still hasn't returned.

Chapter 483 Assimilated into a Couple's Appearance

What exactly is Kuroo doing right now...?

Am I really going to become a corporate slave?

Over the past six months, Kuroba Akira has also spent some of his personal time visiting Myo-senpai's house, but he has never been able to see Kuroo, though he has seen Inari many times.

Inari Goddess really is a fox girl, and a blonde one at that, with a mature, older sister figure, large breasts, giving off a seductive older sister vibe. Foxes really do have an innate allure.

She calls herself Inari, which is actually the pronunciation of Inari.

However, according to Senior Sister Miao, she doesn't usually leave behind such deliberate beast-like features. She only reveals her fluffy fox tail and ears when Kuroba Akira comes, which is suspected of being ingratiating.

Most deities are capable of reading minds, and she probably knows exactly what Kuroba Akira is thinking.

So even if you ask her where Kuroo is, she gives irrelevant answers. She always pesters Kuroba Akira to play games with her, because Miao-senpai doesn't play games, so she usually can't find anyone to play games with.

Gods are unkillable beings, and as a land god, Kuro-o'-the-Land God's divine status is almost immortal. So Kuro-o'-the-Land God wasn't worried about Kuro-o'-the-Land God's safety, but he always felt that this fox was up to some kind of conspiracy in the dark.

Kuroba Akira secretly asked Grandpa Kobayashi to investigate Kuroo's whereabouts, but Grandpa Kobayashi said he was also turned away, as Kuroo didn't like him at all.

However, being turned away means that Kuroo is indeed with Inari, but we don't know what he's up to.

Akira Kuroba formally apologized to Kuroo at the Myoen-en family home, but received no response.

So she really didn't want to see me.

Kuroba Akira was like a man who kept pestering someone after being dumped, giving off the feeling of a persistent simp.

Actually, mana replenishment from Kuroba isn't really a necessity for Kuroba Akira right now.

Because of the rules and restrictions of the coffee shop, people cannot enjoy Kuroba Akira's food as they please. In addition, Kuroba Akira himself is working hard and ensuring basic personal time, so he has gotten rid of the problem of kidney deficiency.

On the other hand, Kuroo no longer has a problem with a lack of faith. Although she may be busier with work, she no longer needs to rely on Kurohane Akira as her agent to support her.

The connection between the gods and their agents has become increasingly rare, to the point that it has almost been severed. It seems that Kuroba Akira has become an agent abandoned by the gods, just like Miao Xuejie and Lan Yi.

Does Kuroo think she'll never need him again...?

'Fine, I don't need you either!' This defiant thought only crossed Kuroba Akira's mind for a moment, but he quickly put it out of his mind.

Because Akira Kuroba knew very well that Kuroo was his savior, and without her, none of this would have started.

Therefore, if Kuroo is in trouble, Akira Kuroba will still help her without hesitation.

But first, we need to know what exactly happened to her...

Not knowing anything is a really frustrating situation.
