What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

According to the information in the work line group that had been added in advance, Liangfeng Qingye found the members of the Maple Leaf Society who came for the review downstairs of Eagle Jump.

The other party was a man with glasses who looked a little inconspicuous, and a girl with long black straight hair who was young and beautiful, but quite mature. She even wore a sailor suit and looked a bit like a college student who was deliberately pretending to be young.

The black-haired girl with wine-red eyes stared at Liangfeng Qingye and suddenly said, "...Junior high school student?"

Liangfeng Qingye was choked to death.

Damn it, even though I sometimes get treated like a kid at amusement parks or other places and only have to pay half-price admission, I’m actually an independent adult!

Suzukaze Aoba, who was completely unaware that she had a baby face and wore twin ponytails that made her look even younger, and therefore looked much younger than her actual age, said indignantly in her heart.

I’m so angry, but I still have to keep smiling when facing my leader.

"…No, I've been out of high school for a long time."

“Humans are amazing, aren’t they?” exclaimed the man with glasses.

"Indeed." The girl with long black hair nodded in agreement.

"Compared to this!" Liangfeng Qingye forcibly interrupted the two people who were continuing to appreciate her. Her pretty face was slightly red - I don't know if she was shy or angry - and said: "You two are here to review the content of the work of "Thousand Years of Bonds", right? I am Liangfeng Qingye who is in charge of the character design. You can just call me Qingye."

"Who came up with this name?" the girl with long black hair asked curiously.

"Eh?"

Liangfeng Qingye was unable to react, "My parents?"

“Pfft…” the man with glasses laughed.

"Sorry, what I want to ask is, who came up with the name of this game?" The girl with long black hair added with an awkward but polite smile.

Suddenly the blush on Liangfeng Qingye's face became more obvious. Thinking of her answer just now, this embarrassing feeling even made her want to abandon the two of them and run away.

Of course it was just impulse.

"Well... the name was already there when the script was delivered..." she said hesitantly.

"I named it." The man with glasses suddenly said, "It feels good, right?"

"Subtle tacky." The girl with long black hair said bluntly.

"What do you know?" The man with glasses sneered, "The most vulgar is the most elegant."

"As the original author, I don't understand that at all."

The girl with long black hair said with a smile, but her tone sounded subtly sarcastic.

"Of course, it's just like 'Oda is just a comic artist, he knows nothing about One Piece'!" the man with glasses said shamelessly.

Then he seemed to realize that Liangfeng Qingye had been left out by him, and he gave a kind smile.

"I'm Washimiya Shiki, a staff member of the Lotus Group... Having said that, I'm just an intern, so Aoba-senpai, don't be too reserved."

So that's how it is. Liangfeng Qingye understood.

Indeed, the boy doesn't look too old, so it's understandable if he's just an intern.

And from their conversation, we can tell that the girl with long black hair is the original author of "Thousand Years of Bond". It is not surprising that the Maple Leaf Society's Lotus Group would send these two people here.

"My name is Kasumi Shiko. Just call me Kasumi Shiko."

Unlike the boy, the girl with long black hair gave a name that was obviously not her real name.

Suzukaze Aoba had heard that creators all had some quirks, so he didn't think the other party was being rude, but continued to politely lead the two to the Eagle Jump studio.

"This is the extent of the current character setting..."

After arriving at his workstation, Liangfeng Qingye opened the completed part for the two to review.

She was somewhat nervous about this. After all, Eagle Jump had a well-known senior in the industry, Yagami Hikari, so it was natural for her to be dissatisfied with the character design work being handed over to her.

But what was unexpected was that, leaving aside the bespectacled man Washimiya Shiki, the original author of the script, Kasumi Shiko, seemed to be quite satisfied with her character.

"Except for the fact that her cuteness was a little unexpected, there were basically no other problems," said Kasumi Shiko, "but rather than making her cute, I wanted her to be more handsome or dashing."

"Handsome, huh? I see. I guess I understand." Liangfeng Qingye found a small notebook at some point and was writing down the opinions put forward by Kasumi Shiko one by one.

It is not an unreasonable request. As the party A, the request made by Xia Shizi is quite reliable.

"Besides that, there are some things that Liuli needs to pay attention to. I mentioned them in the script..."

“Hum, hum, I see. So that’s what it means. I get it!”

It seemed that the two of them got along quite well.

"That's pretty much my opinion."

After about ten minutes, Kasumi Shiko said contentedly.

"Well, I have clearly received Teacher Xia Shizi's revision request, and I will definitely be able to make the revisions in the next few days."

Suzukaze Aoba also responded happily.

Then she glanced at Washimiya Shiki, who had hardly spoken a word, and thought that as an intern, he would not have too many requests, so she asked politely, "Does Washimiya-san have any comments or suggestions?"

"Yes, please bring a digital tablet."

As a result, the other party's request caught Liangfeng Qingye off guard.

However, she quickly handed the tablet to Washimiya Shiki.

Then I saw Washimiya Shiki skillfully opening the drawing software and quickly drawing several character line drawings in one go with almost no modifications.

At first, Liangfeng Qingye was just surprised, but as the line drawings of those characters took shape, she was left with only shock in her heart.

Because what the other party drew was undoubtedly the character in "Thousand Years of Bonds", and it was a re-creation based on the character design she made.

No matter how reluctant she was to admit it, the girl had to say that the characters he created were much better than her own.

"Sorry, I'm not targeting you, Liangfeng, but this level of character completion is more normal." The originally ordinary man with glasses now looked taller in Liangfeng Qingye's eyes. His eyes passed Liangfeng Qingye and fell on Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "Although I was just joking just now, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu, you can't be the original author who understands the original work worse than me, right?"

"...I just think it's unnecessary." The girl was silent for a moment and responded.

"Is it necessary?" Si Ji frowned.

"Yes, there is no need." Kasumigaoka Utaha said: "There is no need to be like the old Kasumigaoka Utaha, putting on the shackles of pursuing perfection. Be kind to others, don't need the mask of being aloof, there is no meaning to be a flower of Gaoling... I am fine the way I am now."

The boy's eyes became sharp behind his glasses.

Chapter 277 Inspiration Rice Ball

Shiki originally thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha's second personality was the 'perfect self' in the mind of her original personality, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Compared to the 'perfect self', I feel that the current personality of Kasumigaoka Utaha is closer to that of a normal person, or in other words, her current existence makes Kasumigaoka Utaha more approachable.

Could this be what Kasumigaoka Utaha really wants?

Si Ji was not sure, so he could only test the waters with words. The final result was that he was rejected by the other party, and he was not further angered by him.

After that, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say much. She just made up an excuse, said goodbye early, and left in a hurry.

However, considering that her original purpose was to get to know the company that made the game, her original goal had already been achieved, and it would be normal for her to leave - at most, she could come alone to guide the work when Si Ji was not around.

Si Ji wanted to catch up, but in the end he didn't move.

Because at this moment he has not yet figured out how to deal with Kasumigaoka Utaha's current condition.

To be fair, he felt that the current approachable version of Kasumigaoka Utaha was better, and it didn't matter even if he couldn't change back. However, reason told him that he couldn't think that way. After all, if he did that, the original Kasumigaoka Utaha would be like completely dead, and he didn't know if there would be any special hidden dangers if the puberty syndrome couldn't change back...

“But it really feels amazing.”

As lunchtime approached, Ryoufu Aoba was still looking at the character designs that Shiki had casually drawn on the screen and sighed, "No wonder Maple Leaf Society asked Mr. Washimiya to come here for review."

The character she had been carefully designing since yesterday was totally inferior to the one that the other party had created effortlessly in just over ten minutes, which made Ryoufu Aoba a little discouraged, but it did not stop her from looking at Washimiya Shiki with admiration.

As a result, Washimiya Shiki acted as if it didn't matter.

"Don't say that." He glanced at the girl's expression, probably guessing what she was thinking, so he said, "My grasp of character design is not as good as you think. These pictures are all improved by adding bricks and tiles to your character design. Everyone can do addition, but designing a character from scratch is not that easy."

He also affirmed the girl's efforts: "Although it didn't meet my requirements, but in such a short time since the script was delivered, you have been able to complete the character design to this extent. You are already quite impressive."

"But I still can't meet Mr. Washimiya's requirements... Mr. Washimiya is really amazing. Could it be that everyone in Maple Leaf Club is so amazing..."

The girl had an expression that said, "Are all the employees of this company monsters?", and her face was too young for her age, which made Shiki almost laugh.

"You think too much. My situation is special. Maple Leaf was originally a publishing house. Most of the people there are editors. They are more literary and can't draw." Shiki broke her fantasy about Maple Leaf: "Even after the reorganization, the Snow Group, which specializes in comics, is the same."

"Doesn't that make Mr. Washimiya even more amazing?" Ryoufeng Qingye's face showed even more admiration: "No wonder he was able to become an intern at Maple Leaf at such a young age!"

To this Si Ji responded very seriously: "This is just a coincidence. What I really want to do is a job that is very leisurely, without any pressure, and where I can slack off as much as I want."

Liangfeng Qingye: "..."

Her respect for the Maple Leaf staff seemed to have broken down a bit.

At this time, the girl's stomach made a gurgling sound, causing her to cover her belly shyly.

"what……"

"Well, it's indeed time for lunch." Si Ji scratched his face and asked curiously, "What do you want to eat for lunch, Ms. Liang Feng?"

The girl gave an awkward smile and took out a box of instant noodles from her drawer.

Facing Washimiya Shiki's surprised expression, she quickly explained: "It's not what you think. I used to eat bento, but today my mother overslept and couldn't prepare a bento, so I could only go to the convenience store to buy instant noodles..."

"Does Miss Liangfeng still live with her parents?"

"……what."

Ryoufu Aoba, who was originally trying hard to explain so that the other party would not think that he was a particularly lazy person, was devastated by Shiki's words.

If I think about it carefully, I still live with my parents after I start working, and even have my mother prepare lunch for me just like when I was in school. This alone is enough to make me out of the game.

"Don't worry, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

But Shiki didn't care about the girl's shame. He even took out a big lunch box from somewhere and said, "Do you mind if I open it here?"

"Of course no problem... please."

Liangfeng Qingye came back to his senses and spoke hurriedly.

The fact that he brought a lunch box with him meant that Mr. Washimiya was prepared to stay here for a long time. Although he said that he wanted a leisurely and lazy job, he was actually quite serious and responsible. The girl thought to herself.

Shiki opened the box, revealing its contents.

This thing was not a bento he made himself - it was more like Shiki himself had no habit of making bento, because he preferred Chinese food to Japanese food which would not taste much different when cold. However, Chinese food emphasizes eating while hot, and many dishes taste completely different when cold than when hot, so they are not suitable for making bento.

So he basically eats in the cafeteria at school, and only makes a special lunch box when he feels like rewarding himself.

There were several crooked-looking rice balls in the lunch box, and almost every rice ball had a face made of seaweed, and each had a different expression.

Liangfeng Qingye looked at Siji again and thought that the reviewers of the Maple Leaf Society were quite childish, but their craftsmanship didn't look that good...

"My tenant did this." Si Ji was keenly aware of the girl's gaze and said nonchalantly.

"tenant?"

"Well, one of my career plans is to become a full-time landlord." Si Ji said seriously.

"Can that be considered a job...ah, thank you." While Liangfeng Qingye was still complaining, Shiki stuffed a rice ball into her hand, causing her to subconsciously thank him.

Looking at the rice ball in her hand glaring at her, the girl stuffed it into her mouth with mixed feelings.

"……tasty."

After all, it is just handmade rice balls, certainly not a delicacy, but the soft taste and appropriate seasoning can reflect the tenderness and love of the maker.

Suzukaze Aoba could even imagine the other person kneading the rice ball and saying "It's going to taste good~" in a gentle voice.

“I feel inspired!”

She stuffed a rice ball into her mouth, spoke incoherently, took out a drawing tablet, and began to write furiously about one of the heroines.

Si Ji looked at the rice ball in his hand in a daze - it was not a rice ball with special effects produced by the system, it was indeed just an ordinary rice ball, right?

Chapter 278 Ye Gong likes dragons

After Shiki's home visits, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was originally on leave from school, started going to school, while Takanashi Rikka, who had been attending class with full attendance, started to take a leave of absence. There was a subtle sense of balance.

Bird travel home.

Touka Takanashi vaguely noticed that her sister had suddenly changed a little during this period of time.
