Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

A little while has passed, and there's not much time left until sunset.

The girls chatted under the cherry blossoms, looked at the blossoms, and enjoyed the tranquility.

"Uh, Xiaoguo, what are you talking about? I don't know."

A few drops of sweat appeared on Xiaoniao's forehead. After she brought the painting home, she framed it and hung it in her room. She originally intended to use the painting to talk to Xiaoguo and Xiaohai, but she didn't do that in the end because she was afraid they would ask where the painting came from and she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. In the end, they found out that she went to work as a maid at a maid cafe, so she just left it in her room.

However, Xiaoguo and Xiaohai often went to her house and had seen the painting before. But because she didn't say much, they didn't ask any questions. They just admired it, since it was a very good painting. But how did Xiaoguo guess it now?

"Hmph, don't lie! I already know!" Enoka said with certainty, while Umi looked at Kotori, wondering what was going on.

The girls nearby also pricked up their ears, eager to know the inside story. After all, Gao Yumo hadn't told them what happened that day. They knew nothing except that it was the day Gao Yumo and Ayano met. Gao Yumo hadn't mentioned the appearance of the little bird.

“Mo Jun just told me that he once painted a picture for you and asked if I had seen it. That’s when I remembered it,” Hui Naiguo said, pointing to Gao Yumo who was chatting with Yang Kui.

The little bird raised an eyebrow, never expecting that she would be betrayed by Mo Jun in the end. Her mind raced, trying to think of any other way.

"When you met Mo Jun, you also met Ayano, right? Why don't we ask Ayano?" Umi remembered that Kotori had said that she knew both Mo Jun and Ayano at the same time.

Ayano, sitting to the side, waved her hand and said, "Don't ask me, ask the person involved."

She watched the commotion from the sidelines, wondering what the little bird would say, but she didn't want to say anything anyway, because that would ruin the fun.

Umi could only look at the little bird after hearing what she said, and Enoka was also looking at her.

Being watched by the two of them put a lot of pressure on the little bird. The last straw that broke the camel's back was what Umaru said next to her.

"Brother met with Ayano-san in Akihabara that day, right?" she asked uncertainly, but this became the final blow to Kotori.

Enoka and Umi knew what Akihabara was, and looked at Kotori suspiciously. She didn't usually have any interest in anime and manga, so what was she doing in Akihabara?

Seeing that her secrets were about to be exposed, Xiao Niao was about to give up and talk, but in the end she glanced at Gao Yumo, her eyes filled with a sense of betrayal. Gao Yumo shuddered, looked over, and saw Xiao Niao's gaze. He raised an eyebrow. Had she just blurted out what he had just said to Hui Naiguo? It seemed quite normal to Hui Naiguo.

The little bird now regrets why it didn't throw that punch.

She sighed and said, "That's right, that's the day we met, at the maid café."

"A maid café?" Umi exclaimed in surprise. "Why would you go to a place like that?"

"Um, um." Little Bird hesitated to speak, but Hui Naiguo pressed herself against her, looking into her eyes. Unable to resist her gaze, Little Bird finally spoke.

"That's when we talked about forming an idol group, and I wanted to change myself, so I went to work at a maid cafe," Kotori said, revealing her thoughts.

“Little bird,” Hui Naiguo looked at her friend, “you don’t need to change anything, you are you.”

"I'm not like Xiaoguo, who can lend a hand in crucial moments, nor am I as capable as Xiaohai, so I want to change myself so that I can be of help to you all." The little bird shook its head and began to frankly express its thoughts.

Enoka and Umi looked at her, somewhat regretting that they hadn't seen through their friend's feelings.

"But you don't need to worry anymore, I've understood a lot. Because no one thinks they're particularly outstanding, everyone works hard. It's like growing little by little, and then watching everyone grow and continuing to work hard, maybe that's how it is," the little bird said with insight.

"Little bird!" Enoka hugged her tightly. "Let's all work together to become school idols!"

"Yes! Let's all do it together!" The little bird hugged her back.

Umi watched from the side, feeling a little shy and unsure whether to join in. But suddenly she felt someone push her from behind and fell into the arms of Enoka and Kotori, the three of them embracing each other.

Let's work towards our goal!

The girls looked at them, smiled, and clapped for them. Yuki was standing where Umi had just been; it was she who had pushed Umi.

Gao Yumo glanced at them when he heard their commotion, smiled, and continued chatting with Yang Kui. Don't think that just because he was sitting far away he didn't hear anything; he heard everything.

"The sun is setting, it's so beautiful!" Kaguya looked at the sunset. It was already this late, but waiting for this beautiful view was totally worth it.

"Yes, it's such a beautiful sight, especially when you're watching it with friends and family." Gao Yumo looked at the sunset, her eyes filled with emotion. She felt she could never have too many days like this. Looking at the girls around her, her eyes were full of tenderness. Suddenly, her eyes met someone's. It was Yang Kui. She smiled at him. These days were just too wonderful.

Gao Yumo went to the back to set up a camera, while the girls used their phones and cameras to capture the beautiful sunset. They wanted to record the scenery. Hui Naiguo and the others exclaimed that they had made the right choice in coming here. Watching the sunset in the city was not as beautiful as watching it in a place like this.

"Stand still, it's time for a photo. Sunset is different from sunrise, so hurry up and take the picture before it gets dark," Gao Yumo said to the girls. The girls stood in the same positions as in the morning, and of course, since there were three extra girls, they were invited to join them and stand next to each other.

"Is everything ready? Let's do it together, 3, 2, 1! Cheese!"

"eggplant!"

"Crack!"

Gao Yumo quickly ran over to take a look and picked up her camera.

"These photos are really well taken." Gao Yumo said with a smile as she looked at the photos. Everyone was beaming with happiness; at this moment, their smiles were the most natural.

"I want to see too!" Xiaomai ran over, and Gao Yumo handed her the camera.

"I'll send you the photos just like the ones from this morning. Oh, by the way, Kotori, Ena, and Umi, check your phones. Please receive what I sent you," Gao Yumo said, no longer using the slightly formal "classmate" address to address the three girls, but calling them by their first names.

Upon hearing this, the three of them took out their phones and saw a download page for an app with their own avatars on it—so cute!

"This is a private chat software that I developed myself. You can use it to ask me anything in the future. It can also make phone calls and video chats. You can also use this software to chat with each other. It has all the necessary functions," Gao Yumo introduced to them.

They've already installed the software and aren't worried about Gao Yumo tricking them; they still trust Gao Yumo a lot. Besides, this version of them is so cute! Can I save it?

"You can save it. Your profile picture is that version of yourself. Just long press to save it. Use it as you like. It's a gift for you," Gao Yumo replied with a smile.

However, their app is different from the girls' app in one aspect: they weren't invited to the large family group chat. After all, they had just met, and it would probably be a bit awkward for them to join directly. So, they decided to wait and see.

However, they had a small group on their app, which currently only included the three of them and Gao Yumo. The group was called Muse, and they quickly discovered it and clicked in to take a look.

This is indeed very convenient. We can chat here normally, and when other people join us in the future, we can also join in. It will be much more convenient to chat and discuss things, since we won't be together all the time.

However, Mo Jun is really amazing. She can draw comics and develop software at the same time. As peers, they said they felt a lot of pressure. Moreover, they did not think that Mo Jun was lying to them, since such lies are too easy to expose.

“Your group is different from ours.” Eriri noticed the difference but understood Gao Yumo’s thoughts.

They looked at Eriri's phone and saw a group chat called "A Loving Family." The name was strange, but they didn't actually have it.

"I was afraid you might not be able to accept it, so I didn't invite you for the time being," Gao Yumo said with a shrug.

Umi really couldn't accept it. After all, they had just met, and the whole thing about being family was too embarrassing!

Actually, Kotori and Enoka didn't really care, but since Umi couldn't accept it, they could wait. After all, they had already said they would move forward together!

Chapter 150 Enoka: It's so good that I don't have to ride back in Ayano-san's car (3rd update)

"Young Master, I've come to pick you up." Bus driver Sato had already been called back by Gao Yumo.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Sato." Gao Yumo nodded to her.

"You're too kind, this is just my job." Aunt Sato smiled and shook her head. Her young master was indeed similar in personality to the young lady. He was very humble to the employees and didn't have that condescending attitude. This was the best experience for them.

The three little birds breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the bus. It was so good that they didn't have to take Ayano-san's car back.

They weren't particularly surprised that Gao Yumo was the eldest son of a wealthy family. Perhaps it was because this was a private villa area; they could guess it, or rather, Hai Wei had guessed it.

As for Hui Naiguo, she only found out after hearing the driver call him "Young Master," but for her, once she knew, she knew, and it wouldn't change her mind because Gao Yumo was some kind of young master.

"Alright, has everyone packed their things?" Gao Yumo asked the girls.

“That’s fine, Mo Jun.” Qi Hai nodded.

"Yes, everything's packed, the trash's all taken care of, and the ground looks brand new," Eriri said, looking at the ground.

"That's good. Let's get our things in the car and head home."

“850, today’s picnic was really great.” Yang Kui walked to Gao Yumo’s side. “Call me next time too, Xiao Mo, don’t forget me!”

"Don't worry, I'll announce everything in the group from now on, so you'll see it immediately."

"Oh, okay! No problem. I'll chat with you guys often too, so I can chat with you even when I'm not home." Yang Kui smiled gently.

"Phew, thank goodness I don't have to ride back in Ayano-san's car." On the bus, Enoka said with a slight tremor in her heart.

"Don't be rude, Enako, you can't say that." Umi tugged at her, reminding her that it was impolite to say things like that directly.

"Hmph, then why did you refuse when Ayano invited us to ride in her car back?" Enoka retorted, looking at Umi.

Umi blushed. She didn't dare to sit down, but that wasn't what she meant. She meant to tell Enoka not to speak ill of others in front of so many people.

“It’s okay, Umi. Ayano’s car is really scary to ride in.” Gao Yumo shook her head and looked at the other girls. “You guys should definitely try it sometime. It’s really exciting.”

The girls all shook their heads. Gao Yumo said it was scary, so how could they dare to ride it? Besides, they had just seen it. Miss Ayano's car drove past the bus at a speed that even they found frightening. Ayano said she wouldn't be visiting their house because she had to go back to work overtime.

After all, Gao Yumo's new comic has been completed, and she needs to go back and explain it to the editor-in-chief.

They saw the speed and understood why the little birds were so scared; it was frightening to look at, let alone sit on.

"Yeah, the speed of Ayano-san's car was so bad that I had absolutely no desire to ride in it." Now that she thought about it, Umaru felt sorry for Kotori and the others when they rode in Ayano-san's car.

"Hehe." The little bird chuckled awkwardly, unsure of what to say next.

"Oh right, I have to go to school tomorrow, and I haven't finished my game yet." Xiao Mai slumped in her seat. Her brother definitely wouldn't let her play anymore after she got home today; she was only a few levels away from beating Plants vs. Zombies! She really wanted to play, but should she sneak a peek? Would she get caught?

“Yes, yes.” Gabriel nodded understandingly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt two gazes on her. Both Winette and Gao Yumo beside her were looking at her. She shrank her neck. She really had to behave herself during this period and make her presence less noticeable, otherwise things might get really bad.

"By the way, Kotori, you guys have a performance at the end of the month, right? Can we go see it?" Eriri asked Kotori.

"Are you all going?" Before the little bird could say anything, Gao Yumo asked first, "Who is interested? Raise your hand if you are."

All the girls raised their hands in unison, even Mashiro and Kuriko. Gao Yumo's eyes twitched. (ceai)

“You all want to go? How is that possible? That’s another school’s freshman welcome celebration. How can they let too many people from other schools go? Besides, that day should be a school day, right? How are you going to go? Ask for leave? There are so many people!” After Gao Yumo finished speaking, their hands went down. Indeed, what could they do? They all wanted to go.

"I'll record it for you guys later, that's all we can do, right?" Gao Yumo suggested, and the girls nodded, agreeing that it was indeed the only option.

"Actually, it should be fine for everyone to go together, but as Mo Jun said, we have to go to school that day, so you probably won't be able to come. I'm really sorry." Xiao Niao said what she wanted to say after Gao Yu Mo finished speaking.

“Then I’ll go with my brother that day!” Yuki raised her hand and said, “I won’t have any problem asking for leave.”

“I want to go too!” Xiaomai said.

Gao Yumo pressed down on their heads and said with a smile.

"We'll talk about it later. Until then, you all better focus on your studies! Don't let me see your grades drop when the exams come!"

"Hmph, impossible." Umaru was very confident, and Yuki felt the same way about her grades.

Gao Yumo shrugged: "Okay, you two really don't need me to worry about you."

The two looked at him expectantly. Could it be that...?

"However, we'll have to see how things go then. Just listen to my instructions, understand?"

"Oh." Umaru was still a little disappointed. After all, there was too much uncertainty in saying that, and given her brother's personality, he might not take them.

"Little Birds, don't feel any pressure. Just train hard during this time. I believe in you guys," Gao Yumo encouraged the little birds.

The girls cheered them on. Although they might not be able to attend the event, they still had a lot of confidence in them. Of course, this confidence came from Gao Yumo. Since Gao Yumo trusted the three of them, the girls trusted them too. The girls trusted Gao Yumo's judgment. He had already drawn the comic, so he wouldn't do something that would be thankless and difficult.

"Thank you everyone!" The three little birds stood up and bowed to the girls in gratitude.

"For our sake, please work hard too!" Gao Yumo clapped and smiled at them.

.....

The bus stopped in front of Gao Yumo's house. The three little birds had already been taken home. This was the second stop. The last stop was when the driver took Yang Kui home.

"Yang Kui, we're leaving now. Try to relax a bit while you're working."

"Okay, don't worry about me. Just remember to let me know when your work is released."

"Yes, I'll have Kaguya communicate with you then. She'll discuss the promotion and distribution of our work with you."

Yang Kui thought for a moment, "Is this to nurture Kaguya?"

"Okay, I'm really looking forward to it."

Chapter 151 Gao Yumo: Can't I do the voice acting myself? (1st update)

Another day passed. The day after the picnic, Gao Yumo and the others had already returned home and gathered in the activity room to start working.

Production of "Your Name" is nearing completion. It has been almost 20 days since production began, and there will definitely be no problem with it being completed by the beginning of next month.

Even Gao Yumo didn't leave the activity room to do other things. Instead, he stayed in the activity room and did some work that only he could do for the time being, such as inputting Shi Yu's written plot into the game program, importing character models, and configuring different expressions according to the plot, etc.

The side story for Shiyu is almost finished; it's in its final stages.

Meanwhile, the speed at which Eriri and Mashiro worked together as illustrators allowed the game to be completed even faster than Gao Yumo had anticipated.

Sagiri had been learning from the sidelines, and Takayuki had also taught her some techniques for drawing backgrounds and characters. She now had no problem drawing backgrounds, although she was a bit slow. However, she still helped Eriri and the others draw a portion of the backgrounds during this last period.

With three artists working together, how could the speed not be fast? After all, "Your Name" is a relatively small-scale game. Although Shiyu has tried her best to expand the side stories, the main storyline is still the same. Compared to other multi-line text games, it is still a small-scale game. However, it is definitely exciting and much better than other games in this world. He is now looking forward to the online reviews after the release.

Gao Yumo looked down at the computer, but spoke to Nanami beside her: "Nanami, how are you finding your voice acting studies lately? Are you sure it's okay if you don't go to voice acting school anymore?"

Nanami was taken aback, then realized that Mo Jun was talking to her, and quickly replied, "It's okay. Mo Jun teaches very well, much better than the teachers at the voice acting school. Even I can tell. So it's okay if I don't go. I'll have more free time to practice voice acting and spend time with Mashiro."
