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

Because of this incident, the girl ran out of inspiration and her work has temporarily come to a standstill. It is estimated that no new work will appear in the next two months.

Fortunately, since the previous volume of "The Exploding Dark Fairy" sold very well, it doesn't matter if the window period is a little longer. FULLDRIVE Library will naturally not exhaust the light novel authors who can bring such great profits to itself.

But the fairy herself was very unhappy, because she wrote the new book originally intending to collaborate with Kashiwagi Eri, also known as Eriri, again, and use her strength to resolve the controversy caused by the change of illustrators in the previous volume of "Dark Fairy".

As a result, not to mention the Feng Aotian's cool plot that refuted the doubts with hard power, the new book that he had finally written in a passionate state did not even pass the editor's review. He died halfway without even meeting Kashiwagi Eri, which was quite a blow to her.

Si Ji was making a simple bacon omelette while checking today's system mall.

There was nothing worth buying in the mall today. All three items were just some fashionable and classic junk.

I don't have any regrets about this, mainly because I've gotten used to it.

It has been more than two and a half years since I traveled to this world. If you count the days, it is almost a thousand days.

The system refreshed so many times, but how many of the useful things were there? Apart from the several max-level skills brought by the Four Seasons vest, the only skill he had left was cooking, which he bought from the mall. It took him a skill upgrade voucher to upgrade it to level 8.

After turning off the system and putting the bacon and eggs on a plate, Si Ji took the time to look at his inventory, where there were the cell phones of several of his aliases.

He originally thought that no one would contact him during the Golden Week, but he found that this was not the case. There were actually some letters in all three mobile phones.

There was a message from Shirakawa Kyo on Natsume Makuryu's phone. The other party first congratulated him on the achievements made by "Re-emergence" during this period, and then mentioned the reorganization of Maple Leaf Society and "That Snow".

According to her, the reorganization of Maple Leaf Publishing House has been completed, and the first batch of physical books of "That Snow" has been distributed in the island country through Maple Leaf Publishing House's previous channels. Relying on the publicity and distribution channels of Maple Leaf Technology, the Snow Group has won advertising resources in many places. They plan to take advantage of the Golden Week for large-scale publicity, and then put the books on the shelves directly for sale. It is a perfect coordination. There is no such thing as hunger marketing!

As for Fuyuo Kishikyu, there were letters of concern from Eriri, and there was also a message from Takanashi Rikka asking him to go out and play with her in a chuunibyou manner. Shiki planned to find time during the holiday to meet with them to deepen the impression of Fuyuo Kishikyu's weak nature.

The situation on Qiu Ling and Wen Ping's side was more complicated. Most of the reports were related to the consciousness link device, but most of the situations were within Si Ji's expectations and were not of much value.

Instead, a piece of information marked as not important caught his attention.

The development of "Blade Online: Rise of the Demons OL" is not going smoothly, so in addition to continuing to work closely with those major game companies, Maple Leaf Technology plans to acquire another game company with better reputation and qualifications.

After several rounds of review and discussion, they have chosen an established gaming company called 'Eagle Jump'.

Si Ji did have some impression of this name, because he had just played the game "Elf Story 3" released by this company yesterday. Among the many suffering games, this game with a suitable difficulty and a good story became fresh and unconventional, leaving a very good impression in Si Ji's heart;

Moreover, compared to a number of emerging game producers, the games of 'Eagle Jump' all have a very orthodox JRPG flavor, and the settings are indeed somewhat similar to "Sword and Demon Online". On the surface, it should be a very good asset if successfully acquired.

However, Shiki still planned to take some time to visit this game company - the excuse was very convenient. Yamada Elf's "Exploding Dark Fairy" had an animation, but there was no corresponding game. Shiki could contact her in the name of Maple Leaf Society's Snow Group, saying that he could be responsible for the gamification of her novel, and then throw out the name of Eagle Jump and let her go and investigate it herself, and then he could follow up.

Anyway, releasing a game is a drop in the bucket for Siji. As long as the game is finally made, it won't be considered cheating, right?

Chapter 140 Why are you so skilled?

The four seasons were well planned.

Although Eagle Jump is not a black-hearted company, the special nature of a game company is obvious. For Eagle Jump's employees, overtime has long been commonplace in order to catch up with the game's progress, fix bugs generated during testing, rework problematic models and art materials, etc. It is not uncommon for them to work overtime until the nearby tram stops running and have to stay overnight in the company.

Therefore, even during the Golden Week holiday, Eagle Jump should still have people on duty and working overtime.

From this point of view, even Maple Leaf Technology, which also has people working during the Golden Week, has become a conscientious company - at least Maple Leaf Technology receives three times the subsidies of a normal company.

All in all, even if you go to Eagle Jump now to find out the bottom, you will not return empty-handed. Rather, it is the best time to find out the bottom now that employees' frustration has accumulated to a certain extent.

However, before he could arrange a visit, a phone call interrupted his plans.

……

About twenty minutes later, a sickly boy with snow-white hair and red eyes appeared outside Sakurasou.

He climbed over the low wall outside, looked at the tightly closed door of the apartment, and knocked hard, but there was no response, as if there was no one inside.

So he simply went around to the side of the apartment, took out a few blank business cards and destroyed the surveillance cameras hidden in the surrounding area, and then let his stand-in, Heaven's Gate, pass through the wall and open the higher window from the inside.

Then the sickly look on his face disappeared, and he was like a cheetah, taking two steps at a time and running fast, kicking the wall and grabbing the edge of the window.

Then Heaven's Gate reached out and pulled hard, giving him leverage, allowing him to easily flip into the house and land on the ground as lightly and flexibly as a civet cat.

After that, his tall figure became slightly hunched again, but his feet did not stop walking towards the room where he had competed in painting with Shiina Mashiro before.

Then, he saw in that room Nanami Aoyama lying on the ground with a pale face and Mashiro Shiina who was pushing her body anxiously, trying to wake her up.

The young man quickly came to the other party, tried Aoyama Nanami's breath, and after confirming that she was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shiina Mashiro, who was originally at a loss, seemed to have found her backbone after seeing him, and her eyes regained a light.

"Nanami, she..."

The girl wanted to explain something, but having lived abroad for a long time and not liking to talk much, she seemed to have no good words to express herself. So she simply combined Japanese and English, occasionally uttering a long sentence in English, and tried to explain the current situation to the boy.

Although what she said was very confusing and her grammar was incomprehensible, Shiki, who had transformed into Fuyuo Kishihisa, had full-level business skills. Not only was she good at observing people's words and expressions - the kind of skill that most people have, which would be ineffective when faced with Yukino's business-like smile - she also had some knowledge of commonly used foreign languages ​​for negotiations, so she basically understood what Shiina Mashiro meant.

When Nanami Aoyama was about to help her dry the quilt, her face suddenly turned very pale and she looked dizzy. Although Mashiro Shiina asked her if she was feeling unwell, the girl still insisted that she was fine. As a result, she turned around and fainted on the ground, which scared Mashiro Shiina.

Because of the Golden Week holidays, Jin Mitaka and Misaki Kamiigusa were not at Sakurasou. Even Ryunosuke Akasaka, who usually stayed in his room, seemed to have gone out to attend some graphics card launch conference and was not at home today.

As for Mashiro's unreliable cousin Chihiro Sengoku, she has not appeared since last night.

The girl didn't know what to do for a moment, and after flipping through her cell phone, she found that apart from Nanami Aoyama, who took care of her life, and Chihiro Sengoku, who she couldn't get through at all, the only remaining contact was that of Kishi Fuyuo, whom she had only met once.

She didn't know why, maybe she was holding on to some naive idea that 'someone who is so good at drawing can't be a bad person' or something like that, or maybe she simply didn't know what to do at that time, so she could only give it a try and call the other party.

Unexpectedly, Fuyuo Kishihisa not only answered the call, but also rushed to Sakurasou without asking any questions after hearing her cry for help.

As he was talking, Fuyuo Kishi had already carried Aoyama Nanami to the bed, allowing her to sleep a little more comfortably, and at the same time he dialed the emergency number - of course, not the emergency number of a public hospital, but the private hospital under Maple Leaf Technology that was specially provided as one of the employee benefits. The equipment inside was much more luxurious than some normal public hospitals.

Those who know the emergency number of this hospital are not ordinary people, they must be at least senior executives of Maple Leaf Technology. So once someone calls this number, no matter what the situation is, the hospital will first admit the patient and provide rescue immediately.

Taking advantage of the gap before the arrival of the ambulance, Fuyuo Kishige asked Shiina Mashiro, who had a worried look on her face, about her and Aoyama Nanami's recent situation.

Mashiro's situation was nothing special. She went to school normally and stayed at Sakurasou to draw comics. Then her manuscripts were rejected by the publisher. Although Nanami Aoyama had always been responsible for taking care of Shiina Mashiro's food and daily life, to be honest, Mashiro didn't know much about Nanami's situation. She only knew that she was still attending the voice actor training school, often working outside, and occasionally helping her with the coloring of comics as a comic assistant...

"I warned her last time and told her to get enough rest." Dongwei Kishi sighed.

Shiina Mashiro lowered her head sadly.

Although Fuyuo Kishige was not blaming herself, the girl couldn't help but blame herself in her heart.

Usually, Nanami Aoyama always looks very smart and capable, as if she can easily handle any amount of work. So she never thought about how much work the other party has or how busy she is every day. She just relied on the other party blindly. Unexpectedly, she would suddenly faint today.

Perhaps it was because of the other person in the past, so at the moment Aoyama Nanami fell, Shiina Mashiro felt that her brain was blank, and she couldn't even think of anything, as if the colorful colors that made up the world around her disappeared in an instant, leaving only the empty and desolate black and white, which made her feel extremely terrified and at a loss.

Did I rely too much on Xiao Qihai in the past? Did I ask too much of her when she collapsed from the overwhelming pressure?

At this moment, the emotion called "regret" was born in the heart of the innocent girl for the first time.

Chapter 141 Emergency Call

The ambulance, with its sirens blaring, shuttled through the streets on the edge of Tokyo and arrived at a private hospital not far from the Maple Leaf Technology branch.

The hospital looked quite low-key from the outside, but inside it had a sense of grandeur. There were all kinds of equipment and departments that were not clear but definitely very expensive. Just looking at them gave people an inexplicable sense of security...

The doctors and nurses in the emergency department were obviously professionally trained. They skillfully and steadily transferred Nanami Aoyama on the stretcher to the emergency room.

Fuyuo Kishihisa and Shiina Mashiro were waiting outside the emergency room.

Fuyu Kishige was fine, with no extra expression on his face and looked calm and composed, but Shiina Mashiro was not so calm. Her face, which usually showed no expression, was now full of worry and uneasiness. Her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of the boy's clothes, as if this was the only thing that could make her feel at ease in this hospital filled with the smell of disinfectant.

It was not until this time that someone from the hospital came and asked them to register the patient's identity information.

This hospital does not require a deposit, nor does it have any consent form for surgery.

As a special private hospital, it is only open to a small number of people. Those who can come here are either rich or noble, and they all understand the significance of this hospital. Once a medical accident occurs, all compensation will be borne by Maple Leaf Technology.

If you want to cause trouble, be physically prepared to be pinned to the ground by Maple Leaf Technology's security department, which is composed of elites from various countries and has been idle for a long time. Then be mentally prepared to be pinned down in the court by Maple Leaf Technology's team of top lawyers. In a sense, this can be regarded as a complete elimination of medical disturbances.

"Excuse me, but how did you get this phone number?"

The man who came to register was obviously not the front desk PR. He was a handsome middle-aged man with black hair who looked elegant but a little gloomy. At this time, he was looking at the strange combination of Fuyuo Kishihisa and Shiina Mashiro with a scrutinizing look.

Shiina Mashiro shrank back behind Fuyuo Kishiku timidly because of his gaze.

Fuyuo Kishihisa himself simply gave a weak smile.

He knew very well why the other party asked this question - emergency calls also have different priorities, and the number he just dialed has the 'highest' priority, which means that in theory only Qiu Lingwenping has a phone number.

"That gentleman told me." Dongwei Anjiu spread his hands and said calmly, "For some reason, I was appreciated by that gentleman, but as you can see, my body is not healthy. In order to prevent any accidents, that gentleman told me this number."

In fact, this was also an oversight on his part.

Until a month ago, he was still alone in the world, so he had never thought of making a low-priority emergency call.

After all, if it is a minor illness or a minor disaster, you can just go to an ordinary hospital. If it is a serious illness, there is no problem in staying in the name of Qiu Ling Wenping. As for the situation where I suddenly become seriously ill and need emergency treatment in my original state - I need emergency treatment, which means there is definitely a high probability of death. There is no need to worry about being exposed or not. I will definitely use the highest-order emergency phone to call for help!

I didn't expect that the first time I handed in an emergency number was to be used on Nanami Aoyama...

The handsome middle-aged man looked at Fuyuo Kishi with suspicion.

So in order to dispel his doubts, Fuyuo Kishi deliberately smiled and said, "By the way, that gentleman also told me to say hello to Mr. Nakano's ladies on his behalf if I really have the chance to come here."

"...Well, Ichika and the others would probably be happy to know that he cared about me."

It was not until this time that the handsome middle-aged man believed what Fuyu Kishige said.

While the two were talking, the door of the emergency room suddenly opened.

"How's Xiao Qihai?"

Seeing the doctors and nurses coming out one after another, Shiina Mashiro suddenly forgot about her shyness and mustered up the courage to ask the doctor in front of her.

The other party seemed startled by the sudden question, and then was frightened again after noticing the gloomy middle-aged handsome man next to Fuyu Kishi.

However, anyone who can be a doctor must have a big heart. He quickly calmed down and said to Shiina Mashiro.

"You brought the patient here very promptly."

"That's great." Hearing this, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and a pure smile appeared on her face.

"If it had been any later..." the doctor's tone became more serious.

"What?" Shiina Mashiro was trembling with fear.

"Then she will wake up." The doctor sighed.

"...Huh?" Shiina Mashiro's beautiful light pink eyes were full of confusion.

"The child is simply overtired, and she will be fine soon. But she seems to have accumulated a considerable amount of fatigue and stress, which is not a good situation," the doctor said directly. "Although a young body is the best asset, no matter how energetic it is, if you don't know how to combine work and rest and just work blindly, you will eventually be exhausted, leaving behind a body that has been eaten away. At that time, it will not be like today, where you can just hang an IV to be fine."

Shiina Mashiro didn't know what she was thinking of, and nodded solemnly.

After that, the two said goodbye to Mr. Nakano and followed a nurse to meet Nanami Aoyama in a single room intensive care unit.

The girl has not woken up yet, her face is pale, and there is an IV tube in her hand to replenish her body with nutrients.

"it's all my fault."

After a while, Shiina Mashiro said dejectedly, "Nanaha was working very hard, but she still had to take care of me. It must be because this made her too tired that she suddenly collapsed... I was with her every day, but I never noticed that her health had deteriorated so much... It's all because of me..."

"I don't think so," Fuyuo Kishihisa comforted him, "How hard can it be to take care of someone who's almost an adult? It will be fine once you get used to life in Japan. You can't ask her to help with the laundry."

"Yes." But the girl looked at Dongwei Kishi with pure eyes and nodded.

"Hmm?" The boy was stunned and immediately changed the subject: "Then taking a bath..."

“She also helped me wash it.”

"Hmm?" Dongwei Kishiku gritted his teeth and said, "Then she can't possibly help you put on your clothes!"

I don't believe you can reach the level of a three-year-old child!

Shiina Mashiro answered seriously, "I put on the panties myself."

Dongwei Kishihisa: “…”

Does that mean she helped you put on the other clothes?

This person is not a study partner for foreign students at all, she's more like an old mother!

Chapter 142 Qingshan Nanami

Dongwei Kiku felt a little toothache.

He had heard of sayings like 'Geniuses all have quirks' before, but he had always scoffed at them.

After all, whether it is Natsume Makuryu or Akihime Bunpei, as people who are at the top in certain aspects, they have seen countless geniuses.

Even if we leave other things aside, among those who work for Qiu Lingwenping at Maple Leaf Technology, there are many who were called geniuses when they were in school.

But they are no different from normal people.

Now it seems that it is only the relationships that are not talented enough.
