The next day, Hashima officially signed a contract with the studio and became the second original animator in the art department.

Still in the conference room, Kato Yusuke called everyone together and began to discuss game planning.

The participants were Kanoko Hasumi, Eri, Shiwa, Megumi, Izumi Hashishima and Tomoya Aki.

Because the issues involved today were not suitable for outsiders to participate in, Kato Yusuke did not inform Namishima Iori, and the other party knew enough not to ask any more questions.

As for whether Haidao Chuhai would disclose the contents of the meeting to her brother afterwards...

Hasumi Kanoko had already asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance, and also explained the seriousness of the related issues. She would reserve the right to pursue liability if losses were caused to the studio.

Under such a premise, Haidao Chuhai naturally knew the importance of it and made a promise on the spot that he would never reveal even a word to the outside world, so there was no need to worry.

"So--"

Kato Yusuke looked around and said, "Everyone should have read the script, right? If you have any questions, you can ask them."

"In that case..."

Uncharacteristically, Hui raised a hand first, "Can I start first?"

Kato Yusuke was a little surprised, but nodded immediately, "...Well, okay, then Yue will talk first."

"Thank you, what should I say?"

The girl looked at him and asked: "As an immature production process, I would like to ask, how long is the production cycle of our game?"

"About this..."

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "My expectation is that the game will be released at COMI next summer, which is around mid-August."

"——Mid-August??"

Eirili called out: "Wait a minute, Yusuke, wouldn't that mean there are only eight months left?"

"That's right. Don't you have confidence?"

"It's not that kind of problem, is it? Are you serious? You know that in the script you gave, there are hundreds of CGs for the plot alone. How long do you think it will take to draw it!"

Excluding the backgrounds and materials that will be outsourced, the number of original paintings and CGs that need to be written by yourself is roughly between 300 and 400. In addition, there are also vertical paintings of various characters...

Thinking that all these things would fall on her head, Yinglili couldn't help but feel her scalp numb.

After all, original paintings are different from comics and require a considerable amount of time to be carefully crafted.

As for the quality of a Galgame work, more than 80% of the factors are linked to art. It is self-evident how much pressure there is.

"You missed something, Sawamura."

Shiyu on the side reminded him casually.

"If the target is next summer's COMI, then at least one month of dubbing time must be reserved, so the corresponding time must be subtracted."

"Ah, in that case, the same goes for the program."

An Yilun also added: "Including later test runs and bug elimination, I think it will take about half a month to a month..."

"——Then it's only six months!" Ying Lili couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

"Do you need to make such a fuss? Sawamura."

Shiyu said calmly: "Do you think you are the only one who is busy with work? I have to write a detailed script for more than 60 hours of play time by myself."

Both the words and the words reveal one meaning - complain less.

Eiriri didn't bother to get angry with her, but just said to Kato Yusuke with an unacceptable look: "That kind of thing can't be done anyway, Yusuke!"

Hasumi Kanoko looked at their reactions and took the initiative to maintain order, "Okay, okay, everyone, please stop arguing. Anyway, let's listen to what Kato-kun has to say first."

Except for one person, everyone's impression of Kanoko Hasumi still remained more or less as a teacher, so they subconsciously became quiet.

Kato Yusuke looked at everyone, and everyone was looking at him.

"all in all……"

He said: "Yinglili, you don't have to worry too much about the workload. I will take care of it when the time comes, and she will also help you when you go overseas."

"...even if you say so."

Ying Lili muttered and glanced at the other side, "She is not like you who can switch her painting style freely. I don't know how long it will take to unify her painting style."

"Um, Sawamura-senpai, please don't worry... I will try my best!" Izumi Namishima assured him with his arms crossed energetically, causing his slightly raised chest to become turbulent.

Pooh~

"Ugh...!" Yinglili snorted, looking away a little hurt, not wanting to speak.

"And there is Senior Sister Shiyu."

Kato Yusuke turned to look at Shiyu, "If you feel that one person cannot write all the plots, we can also break out the plots of some characters and outsource them to..."

"——No need."

The girl interrupted him with a soft voice, an intriguing smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she looked back at him with a pair of beautiful wine-red eyes.

"Have you forgotten? When I wrote "Love Festival", I could do it at a rate of one volume a week. Now that I have finished it, I have even more time. The most important thing is..."

She paused, her eyebrows slightly arched in a seductive arc, and then she chanted the second half of the sentence.

"I don't want to let others get involved in Yu-chan's script or anything like that... After all, this is the product of the relationship between the two of us, right~?"

"...?"

Kato Yusuke paused for a moment, then pretended to be calm and lowered his head slightly, coughed, and whispered back "I know."

Not only him, but everyone else present was also startled by Shiyu's bold and ambiguous speech, and stared at her with their mouths open.

An Yilun also:(Д)

Wave island out to sea:(*/ω＼*)

Eiri pear:(*｀へ*)

Hui:(ì_í)

The scene subtly fell into silence.

Turning a blind eye to everything around him, Shiyu just stretched lazily, showing off his smooth and graceful body curves.

When Ren saw Kanoko, she sighed secretly in her heart.

In terms of expressing one's feelings, basically no one, including herself, can be braver than Shi Yu.

'I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this little villain poured into others to make Xiaoshi so determined...'

She thought aimlessly, and then felt funny. After all, even she herself was one of them, so how could she have the right to make irresponsible remarks on others?

"……So."

Kato Yusuke cleared his throat, "Besides these, do you have any other questions?"

It was quiet, as if thinking.

When no one spoke, Haidao raised his hand cheerfully, "I, I, I, I have a problem~!"

"Are you going to sea? What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal actually. I just want to say that this script is really awesome! I really, really, really want to play this game!"

As the energetic voice spread, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become lively.

"Ahaha, anyway, please calm down first and go to sea."

An Yilun also said in an experienced tone: "However, it's not that I can't understand your mood. When I first found out about this project, I felt that it would definitely be a hit when made into a game!"

"Hey, was this plan discovered by Toruya-senpai?"

"Of course. You may be surprised when you tell me that Kato clearly had such a great script at the time, but he didn't even think about making a game. It was only because of my efforts in persuading him that he finally made up his mind."

"real--!?"

Namishima Dekai's face was full of admiration, "Does that mean, it turns out that Senior Toruya is actually the director of this game? Senior is so awesome~!"

"Well……?"

An Yilun was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was speechless and didn't know how to respond. He was unable to get off the horse for a while.

He deliberately wanted to deny it, but when he came into contact with the girl's admiring eyes, he couldn't help but look away guiltily, and finally spoke vaguely.

"...Well, you have to know that there is no distinction between high and low positions. Even if you are a director, you have to bow your head when facing the original artist... So whether you are a producer or a director is not that important. You understand.

?"

"I see... I still don't quite understand it, but since the senior said it, it must be right~!"

"...Going to sea...you guys are really..."

Facing the innocent-looking Haidao Dehai, An Yilun was moved beyond measure, and then heard such words the next second.

"For the sake of inner vanity, I even lied to junior high school students. It's really you, classmate Ethical." Shiyu said with disdain, exposing his lies.

"Ugh...Shi, Shiyu-senpai...my chest hurts...!" An Yilun, who was deeply hit, also covered his chest, showing a heart-wrenching expression,

"Senior...!" Izuku Hashima quickly ran up with concern, "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
