[PA-san: I just looked it up, and the word 'QB' has now become synonymous with 'scheming' and 'deception'... I feel a bit traumatized whenever I see small white animals...]

Those peers who were previously pessimistic and waiting to see the creation of a new era become equally dumbfounded.

What an outrageous plot twist!

This is nothing like a magical girl!

But now that things have come to this, the colleagues have no intention of putting up a fight and have all quickly slid to their knees.

A flood of text messages filled with "confessions" and "praise" poured into Seiji Fujiwara's phone.

Shiyu was very interested in this.

Like a dutiful secretary, she picked up Seiji Fujiwara's phone and, in a melodious and rhythmic tone, read aloud one text message after another in front of everyone:

"【President Fujiwara, I offer you my sincerest apologies for my previous ignorance and arrogance. 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is undoubtedly a great work worthy of being recorded in history. 】—by your defeated opponent, Ryuji Aida."

"Pfft—" Eriri laughed without any restraint, "This guy's flattery is way too blatant."

“And this,” Shiyu continued, “【Fujiwara-sensei, from today onwards, you are my god! Please accept my utmost respect! By the way, I hope to have the honor of receiving your guidance on my latest work…】—by your faithful follower, Machida Sonoko.”

"Hmph, yet another woman trying to latch onto your coattails." Eriri scoffed, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her inner smugness.

After all, she was also involved in the production of this work.

Fujiwara Seiji listened to these effusive compliments without showing any emotion on his face.

He simply reached out his hand.

A hand gently stroked Kasumigaoka Utaha's soft, long hair.

With his other hand, he pinched Eriri's puffed-up, collagen-filled cheeks.

Then, he lowered his head and ate the strawberry that Yamada Ryo offered to his mouth.

It was as if all this glory and praise was nothing more than a matter of course to him.

But everyone knows it.

From tonight onwards, the entire television animation industry must take Genesis seriously and pay close attention to this company!

……

……

The anime series "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has ended.

The entire Japanese public discourse has become dominated by the name Seiji Fujiwara.

If the third episode was merely a celebration and earthquake within the subculture, then once the entire series was broadcast, this storm of public opinion broke out of its niche with unstoppable force!

It swept through all levels of society!

From the most professional animation critics to trend-following entertainment public accounts; from serious media exploring social phenomena to fashion magazines chasing hot topics.

The front pages of all media outlets were dominated by the subversive plot of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and the "Madoka Shock" phenomenon it sparked.

· ······Request flowers·· ······

"Beheading," "dark and brutal," "warrior of love"...

These terms, which once belonged only to a niche circle, have become a hot topic of social discussion overnight.

Those colleagues who had once gloated over the situation suddenly retreated overnight.

They deleted all the blogs that were pessimistic and deleted the social media accounts that had previously made sarcastic remarks.

Faced with a barrage of interviews from the media, who swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, they collectively fell silent, citing "inconvenient to disclose" and "company secret" as reasons to awkwardly hang up the phone.

They were like vampires exposed to sunlight, hiding in the shadows, trembling.

They have even lost the courage to look up at the magnificent sun created by Seiji Fujiwara.

However, for Seiji Fujiwara, the praise from the public was nothing more than a victory horn.

The real war has only just begun.

……

……

Early morning, at the Yamada residence.

When you achieve good results, you naturally want to celebrate and have fun.

The traces of last night's revelry had not completely faded; the living room was still filled with a sweet, cloying scent of champagne mixed with the fragrance of young women.

Eriri and Utaha were still lying in their room upstairs, savoring the joy of victory and the madness of the previous night, before drifting into a deep sleep.

Even in her dreams, Eriri was still wielding her paintbrush, shouting "I am the strongest illustrator," while turning the faces of those who were pessimistic into despairing witches after being contracted by QB.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha curled up in her blankets, a satisfied smile on her lips, dreaming of standing on the stage to receive a literary award.

Seiji Fujiwara, already dressed and ready, was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

In front of him were three laptops, with different documents and spreadsheets switching on the screens, and a live video feed of the meeting in the corner of the screen.

0 .... ....

on the screen.

A steady male voice, tinged with a trembling excitement, came from inside:

"President! We won! We won completely!"

He is the Director of Distribution at Genesis Entertainment.

“Give me the data.” Seiji Fujiwara’s tone was as calm as if he were discussing today’s weather.

This extraordinary composure, when it reached the other end, stirred a sense of awe and reverence in the heart of the seasoned director once again.

"Yes!" The director took a deep breath and reported in an almost reverent tone:

"As of 9:00 AM this morning, pre-orders for the Blu-ray discs of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' have exceeded 300,000 sets!"

"Based on our pricing, pre-sales alone have already exceeded 1.5 billion yen! President, this... this has broken the record for television animation in the past fifteen years! We are making history!"

"On the manga side, the first volume of the official 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' manga, which we released overnight and which you personally supervised, has already sold over ten copies in pre-orders on major online bookstores! This has broken Kodansha's all-time record for first-day pre-orders of any manga volume! The president of Kodansha just called personally to say he'd like to invite you to dinner!"

"And the merchandise department! Based on the design drawings you provided in advance, we worked overnight to produce the 'QB' series of merchandise, including dolls, phone charms, themed T-shirts... All the pre-order links were completely sold out in less than ten minutes after going live! The server crashed three times! Our programmers are now crying out, 'I never want to see that white devil again,' while desperately trying to fix the server! According to preliminary estimates, the pre-order revenue for the first month of merchandise has already... has easily exceeded 300 million yen!"

The director on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice from excitement.

This is more than just a success.

This is nothing short of a commercial massacre!

Slaughtering their competitors until they are routed, and then reaping all the profits for themselves!

“Very good.” Fujiwara Seiji listened to the report, his expression remaining calm and composed.

“Director,” Seiji Fujiwara put down his teacup and issued a new instruction, “notify all departments to immediately begin a coordinated omnichannel marketing campaign in accordance with our Plan B.”

"A comic book version, in collaboration with all offline chain bookstores, will be released as a limited edition autographed poster."

"Immediately launch the second round of 'hunger marketing' pre-sales in the surrounding area. At the same time, contact all the leading convenience store groups to discuss the listing of QB-themed Ichiban Kuji items."

"The Blu-ray disc will feature preview images of pre-order bonuses for different stores, drawn by Kasumigaoka-sensei and Eriri Sawamura-sensei."

"I want to maximize the commercial value of the 'Xiaoyuan' IP in the shortest possible time."

"Yes! President!"

After finishing the business, Fujiwara Seiji finally smiled and said:

"Furthermore, we will hold a grand celebration banquet for our heroes."

"Yes, Professor Fujiwara!" the director replied excitedly.

-

That evening, in Tokyo.

The "Between the Peacocks" banquet hall on the top floor of the Imperial Hotel.

All members of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica project team, along with other company employees, gathered together.

The crystal chandelier sparkles like a galaxy.

The champagne tower shimmered with golden light. Melodious classical music flowed gently through the air.

But all this elegant arrangement could not mask the fiery atmosphere of the scene, which was as intense as a volcanic eruption.

Chapter 110 Miss Ijichi Hoshika, My Conditions Are Simple (1/2)

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Everyone's face was beaming with fervent joy.

They looked at the boy in the center of the banquet hall, bathed in countless spotlights, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

Seiji Fujiwara appeared, dressed in a suit.

He wasn't wearing a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were casually undone, revealing a small patch of fair skin and his collarbone, adding a touch of dashing charm to his handsome and refined demeanor.

He held a glass of red wine, a triumphant smile on his face.

Beside him...

Kasumigaoka Utaha wore a black off-the-shoulder evening gown. The black skirt, like wings of the night, made her snow-white skin even more dazzling.

She linked her arm with his intimately, smiling triumphantly as she accepted the envious and jealous glances from all directions, declaring her dominance to everyone.

Eriri Sawamura was wearing a pink and white princess dress.

The skirt was adorned with rhinestones, making her look like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.

She pressed herself tightly against Seiji Fujiwara's other side, her smile elegant and sweet.

Yamada Ryo, on the other hand, was still dressed in a Chinese-style outfit.

She stood quietly beside Seiji Fujiwara, her eyes fixed on him.

This scene, brimming with the aura of a "life winner," evoked genuine envy, jealousy, and resentment from all the men present.

"Everyone."

Seiji Fujiwara raised his glass and cleared his throat.

The banquet hall fell silent instantly.

"I'm not someone who likes to talk nonsense."

"So, I won't say much more about thanking you."

"All I want to say is that your hard work deserves the best reward."

He said, snapping his fingers.

The doors to the banquet hall were slowly pushed open.

Several bodyguards in suits walked in, pushing several suitcases.

"What is that?" someone asked in surprise.

"Open it." "090" Seiji Fujiwara didn't play any tricks and directly told someone to open the box.

ka ka ka-

The box was opened in front of everyone, revealing stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi books, neatly stacked and exuding the scent of ink, under the illumination of the crystal chandelier.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

“I declare,”

Seiji Fujiwara's voice rang out clearly in the silent banquet hall.

"For this 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' project, each member will receive a base prize of 200 million yen!"

"Everyone present today, regardless of their position, will receive a 30 yen red envelope. You can collect it now!"

"boom--!!!!"

His words had barely left his mouth.
