It's Musashino?

Shimazaki Setsuna almost showed a look of disgust, but fortunately she held it back in time.

She had also heard a little about Musashino Animation. It was a well-known company many years ago, but in recent years it has been doing some animation outsourcing work, and it has also produced industry-renowned shitty works such as "Breast Shake Heaven". It can be said that it has a very low status among otaku girls like her.

But since the Lord God has said that he is now in charge of the company, maybe there is still some hope for this company.

Ah, no, no, Shimazaki Setsuna, Shimazaki Setsuna, you can barely afford to eat, why are you still nitpicking? No matter how bad Musashi is, he is still better than a freelance artist like you!

Even though the job of an original artist might be tiring, it is still a job that can earn you a living! And God has also increased the salary, so it should be a good place to be!

"Excuse me, what is the salary of an original artist?"

"Oh, after the salary increase, my original painting now costs 500 yen, plus the base salary is 15 yen, which should be considered good in the industry."

It is more than good. It is the conscience of the industry!

Shimazaki Setsuna knew that in general animation companies in the industry, original artists usually only earn around 220 yen, or less than 300 yen for a drawing. Add to that a basic salary of 4 or 5 yen, and they can't even earn 15 yen a month!

The basic salary at Musashino Animation is 15 yen. If she can draw more than 150 original drawings a month, her monthly salary will be around 23 yen, which is enough for her to live on!

If I also take on some commissioned work occasionally, it will be a bit tiring, but it is definitely much better than the current situation where I can barely eat!

Shimazaki Setsuna clenched his fist and said seriously, "Sir, I'll do the job! Please let me work in your company!"

"Okay, then I'll arrange a job for you right away. Musashino is short of people, so I'll send you there directly. But don't brag in the company that I got you a backdoor. From now on, just call me president."

"Yes, yes, President!"

Shimazaki Setsuna responded and was held in Chu He's arms. She had never had such close contact with a man before, and her face immediately blushed.

But she also heard Chu He's words, and probably understood that this great god wanted to take her directly to the company, so she did not resist the man's behavior, but instead put her arms around Chu He's neck.

This is a princess hug, being carried in the air by a handsome guy, something that she could only dream of before, but today she realized it!

Chapter 231 Joining the Company

With Chu He's flying speed, it took only a few breaths to fly from Mount Fuji to Musashino. The two slowly landed on the ground. After putting Shimazaki Setsuna down from his arms, the girl had not yet fully recovered.

No, Mount Fuji is more than 80 kilometers away from Tokyo. How come we can get there in just the blink of an eye?

Shimazaki Setsuna stood with his feet on solid ground, staring blankly at the sign on the renovated Musashino Animation building, feeling a little at a loss.

Is this the animation company’s building?

She had just graduated from high school three months ago, and she was hired directly by the boss in the company through the back door. She was only wearing a casual dress and not even the standard black OL outfit. It felt like everything happened too fast.

"Um, Mr. President..."

The girl tugged at Chu He's sleeve, feeling a little hesitant, and said, "Why don't you arrange an outsourcing job for me? It doesn't feel good to have so many people in the company. I feel like I came in through the back door and people might gossip about me."

"What are you afraid of? I'll arrange for you to show your painting skills to the animation supervisor later, right?" Chu He patted her shoulder to show encouragement, and said, "Musashino is full of good people. Right now the company is short of labor... ahem, short of painters. As long as your skills are up to standard and your efficiency is OK, no one will say anything to you."

Did you mean to say labor? I heard you!

Shimazaki Setsuna had an awkward yet polite smile on her face. She really didn't dare to complain about Chu He, the god, especially since he was her boss.

Just at this moment, a burst of brisk footsteps were heard behind the two of them, and then a girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails wearing a green long-sleeved jacket appeared beside them. It was the production manager of Musashino Animation - Erica Yano.

Yano was holding a thick file bag in his arms. He had just received the finished drawing from a freelance animator and was driving back to go upstairs to hand it over to the animation supervisor. He saw Chu He chatting with a young girl at the bottom of the building, so he came over to see what was going on.

As soon as Yano Erica came up, she gently bumped the man's arm with her shoulder, and rubbed Chu He's fingers with her thigh wrapped in black and white striped socks, and smiled:

"Hey, good morning, Chu He, who is this?"

"Good morning, Erica, are you just back to the company?" Feeling the soft touch of the striped socks on his fingers, Chu He glanced at the file bag in her arms and asked:

"Is this file the cut of episode 11 of "EXODUS!"?"

"EXODUS!" is the rising work of Musashino Animation this year, and it is also a magical girl type of animation. However, it has not been broadcast yet. Chu He estimated that it will be completed in late July based on the work report sent by the general affairs lady of the company.

In fact, this animation is the new show in July this year, but now it is almost time for it to be broadcast, and there are only the last 7 episodes to be completed. However, because it is broadcast one episode a week, it is still possible to catch up.

"Yeah, didn't Ochiai Tatsuya resign a while ago? So the 11th chapter he was in charge of has been handed over to me, but this work is almost over, so I will probably have a few days of free time after that."

As Yano Erica and Chuhe and the others went upstairs, they chatted, "But we haven't decided what animation we'll make next time. I wonder if Chuhe will let your company make "The Villain Hero"?"

"Of course they will, but only two volumes have been released so even if we make an animation we have to wait until the third or fourth volume is released. The earliest it will be released is after September this year."

Yano Erica calculated the production cycle in her mind and sighed, "Oh, September, then the schedule is quite tight. There will be no chance for the new spring anime in April."

An animation company will not sit idle for two months after finishing one animation. They will start assigning new tasks after they finish the current animation next week. In that case, with the current staff of Musashino Animation, if they want to be responsible for Chuhe's work, they will have to be fired.

For a company of Musashino's size, opening two animation studios would mean sacrificing some of the quality of the animation, and it might also lead to the sacrifice of another animation, which would damage the company's reputation!

Chu He pulled Shimazaki Setsuna upstairs and said, "Yeah, so everyone still has to take on other animation projects in the second half of this year. I should be working on the new anime in July next year."

The other animation mentioned by Chuhe is actually the new winter January anime "The Third Flying Girls" that will appear in Shirobako's original work. Watanabe Hayabusa of the planning company has already started discussing this, but has not told other employees yet.

"So, who is this girl with glasses?"

The three of them walked up the outer stairs to the third floor. Yano Erica turned the topic back and was not disturbed by Chu He's answer.

Shimazaki Setsuna, who had been timidly eavesdropping on the conversation between these two professionals, shrank behind the man. She thought the beautiful employee would continue to ask questions, but she didn't expect her to be so persistent.

And she even dares to call the God by his name. It seems that she has a very good relationship with the president.

"She's just a new employee I found for the company. She's a good painter." Chu He explained briefly, then walked into the building with Yano Erica and found the animation supervisor's workstation.

At her workstation, animation supervisor Ogasawara Rinko had changed into a red Lolita outfit today. She had just had some free time and was resting her eyes at her seat.

"Ms. Ogasawara, this is the new original artist I found, Ms. Shimazaki Setsuna." Chu He spoke first and introduced Shimazaki Setsuna to the other party, saying:

"Her painting skills are pretty good. Today is her first time in the company, so let's first examine her basic skills. If it's OK, she'll officially join the company."

Hearing this, the Gothic Lolita lady slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Yano Erica behind Chu He, reached out to take her file bag, and replied:

"Is it the same person as Ms. Izumi? Since it is the president's request, let's try this first." She took out a drawing from a storage box beside her and handed it to Shimazaki Setsuna.

"Refer to this picture and copy it. If you can complete the line drawing within two hours, you will pass."

"Yes, yes, I will try my best!"

"Very good, there is an empty seat next door, and all the tools are complete. Please sit next to Miss Izumi first." Ogasawara Junko quickly finished explaining the matter, and began to take charge of the documents handed in by Yano Erica, then turned to Chu He and said:

"If Miss Shimazaki is qualified, I will inform Miss Okitsu to let her join the company. Is there anything else, President?" The implication is that don't disturb her if there is nothing else, she is going to get busy.

It can only be said that the Gothic Lolita has always been like this, and Chu He has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to take action.

But he was not in a hurry. Ogasawara Rinko couldn't run away anyway. He could come to the company a few more times and he would always be able to find a way in.

Chapter 232 Stupid Couple

Shimazaki Setsuna finally completed the drawing in 1.5 hours and received a satisfactory evaluation from Ogasawara Rinko, after which he became a full-time employee of Musashino Animation.

Chu He was not worried about Shimazaki Setsuna's character, so he directly gave her a month's salary in advance. Then he said goodbye to everyone and went to the hotel where the stupid couple mentioned by Licorice lived.

Isaac Dean and Miriah Havant are Chu He’s two favorite characters in the anime “The Immortal Wine”. Comedians are always likable.

This stupid couple's main job is actually to be thieves. They like to wear all kinds of weird clothes to rob people. They have robbed watches from a watch shop (calling themselves time thieves), robbed chocolates and candies, and even dismantled the door of the art gallery because they couldn't rob the entire art gallery. They also mined for several years at the end of the American Gold Rush.

Because these two people's behavior style was too weird and the items they robbed were of low value, it looked like some kind of prank, so even the police did not issue a wanted notice for them.

In an accidental operation in 1930, this stupid couple accidentally got two bottles of wine of immortality, and shared them with a group of gang cadres. As a result, this group of people all gained the ability of immortality!

The wine of immortality was originally a product bestowed by a demon in ancient times on someone, and later the alchemists analyzed the formula, and the finished product was a box of the wine of immortality. However, in 1930, the formula was caught in a fire along with most of the wine, leaving only two bottles of wine that were taken by the stupid couple.

Those who drink the wine of immortality are called immortals. Their body cells will have consciousness, and their flesh will be solidified at the moment they drink the wine. They will not age, nor will they die from any external force. Any damage they receive will recover as if time had gone back. Only immortals who have also drunk the wine of immortality can kill each other.

However, this stupid couple did not know how to kill other undead, and the gang leaders who drank the alcohol were all the same. They were all optimists who loved life and they lived until modern society.

To some extent, the effect of this wine of immortality is very similar to the elixir of immortality taken by Kaguya Houraiyama and Fujiwara no Momoko in the Touhou Project series, except that the effect of the elixir is a little stronger.

Chu He quickly arrived at the hotel, but did not see the stupid couple. There was only a short-haired Licorice waiting at the door for Chu He to come.

Chu He didn't see anyone in the room with his X-ray vision, so he asked, "Xiao Qian, where are they?"

Lycoris said quickly, "Report, just half an hour ago, the couple went to Ikebukuro. The sister who was monitoring said that they seemed to be wearing a very otaku outfit, and they were going to have lunch first and then go to some idol's concert."

...half an hour ago?

Chu He was somewhat helpless: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Licorice said with a smile: "You said you would stay in Musashino for a while. I didn't expect you to fly over so soon... But the sisters followed you. You are eating in a restaurant now."

"Is that so? Send me their location first. Next time there is such a mission, send me the target's movements at any time. You should go eat first. It's already noon."

"Yes, it is!"

After leaving the hotel, Chu He flew towards Ikebukuro and soon found the restaurant that Licorice mentioned - coincidentally, this restaurant was DA's own business.

Only a dozen meters away, Chu He saw the stupid couple sitting by the window. The two of them were wearing a set of haori that looked like they were cosplaying as Japanese Warring States period shogunate samurai, and they were sitting at the table chatting with wigs on their heads.

At the three tables near the two of them, there were two Licorices sitting respectively. A total of six people secretly surrounded them, waiting for Chu He to come.

Chu He sent a message to Likolis and the others, then pushed the door open and walked in.

In fact, as a phantom thief who has lived for more than a hundred years, although they look like fools, that is only because their attitude towards life is different from that of ordinary people. This couple is not really stupid, and their vigilance is actually not bad.

At first they thought that the people sitting nearby were just ordinary Japanese female high school students, and were secretly discussing the hairstyles and figures of these beautiful girls. But when they were halfway through lunch, they suddenly discovered that these female high school students seemed to have appeared last night, and they had run into one of them in the hotel!

After taking a closer look at their school uniforms, I found that they were all students from the same high school. The workmanship of the clothes was also very unique. Although they were summer clothes, they were a little thicker than regular clothes.

Milia pretended to accidentally drop the water cup, and took the opportunity to squat down and peek at the lining of the girls' clothes. She found that the clothes looked like Kevlar material.

Wait, would an average high school student wear clothes made of this material?

Moreover, one could faintly smell gunpowder on their bodies, and some of the girls even had pistol magazines hidden under their skirts!

These people have bad intentions!

The couple glanced at each other and were about to overturn the table, smash the window and leave, but they didn't expect that even after they both put their hands on the table and used all their strength, the table still didn't move!

"How can this be?"

Isaac couldn't help but shout: "Milia, use some strength!"

Milia also shouted: "Isaac, I have used all my strength!"

bang bang~

Chu He gave the couple who suddenly shouted a blow to the head, and bounced them back to their chairs. Then he took back his hands that were on the table and said with a smile, "You are indeed the ones who didn't notice that I was pressing on the table?"

"Ouch~ my head hurts!"

"Wow, it feels like someone hit me with a hammer!"

The two of them covered their heads and shouted loudly for a few words, then suddenly paused and said in surprise:

"Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"I'm not in pain anymore!"

Chu He reached out and took a chair and sat on the aisle outside the two of them, complaining: "Nonsense, you have all drunk the wine of immortality, it's just a brain collapse, can't you recover by blinking your eyes?"

"Huh? What is the wine of eternal life?"

"What a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere before."

After hearing what Chu He said, the couple scratched the back of their heads and fell into deep thought.

A hundred years ago, when they drank the wine, they didn't know that it was the wine of immortality, and in their later lives they never doubted their physical condition. If they hadn't occasionally heard these words from their gangster friends, they wouldn't even have had any impression of the wine of immortality.

Chapter 233 Trust Chuhe and gain eternal life!

Faced with the characters he once liked, Chu He did not choose to use force to force the other party. Instead, he took out a large sum of money and asked the two to sit on the chair for a while, and then used his own eyes to observe the cell structure of the couple.

By the way, in an interviewing manner, Chu He took two photos with the two of them, and then chatted with them about the stories that happened to the couple abroad over the years.

Because they had a lot of money to pave the way, the two men saw that the atmosphere around them had eased and they no longer had the thought of running away. They returned to their initial carefree and optimistic state.

"But, Mr. Rich Man." Milia drank the drink in the cup, ordered another one and continued to ask: "Give us so much money, is it enough just to chat and take a photo?"

"Yeah, yeah, it feels a bit strange that you suddenly spend millions of yen just to have a meal and chat with us." Isaac's eyes suddenly lit up when he said this, and he said excitedly: "Could it be that you are actually our fan?"

"Well, in a sense, I guess so."

"Yeah! We have fans!"

"That's awesome! Our first fan!"

The two laughed and high-fived each other, and their attitude towards Chu He became more enthusiastic.
