Originally.

But any company will definitely experience tax inspections, and the Japanese tax bureau has always been more tolerant in this regard.

Even if you don't have an invoice for a certain expenditure, but you want to include this in the company's accounts, they will still approve it even if you write a note yourself.

In short, as long as you don't really evade taxes, you usually don't have any problems, so Kato Yusuke is not too worried.

After all, since the establishment of the studio, he has been operating in a law-abiding manner, and he has nothing to feel guilty about.

Isn't your National Tax Office going to check the accounts?I'll just cooperate with you. When the truth finally comes to light, you should return my innocence, right?

But what is absolutely unexpected is--

Instead of waiting to be rehabilitated, he got a written notice asking them to suspend business for inspection.

Kato Yusuke found it hard to accept, and asked Kondo Kazuto: "Prosecutor Kondo, is there any illegal problem in our studio?"

"It's not clear yet, we still need to investigate," Kondo said.

"In this case, why do we have to close down?"

"Because your company has not been cleared of suspicion, so you are obliged to cooperate with our work."

Kato Yusuke frowned, "Prosecutor Kondo, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but don't you think it's a bit too much to suspend our business based on some groundless rumors?"

Kondo Kazuto said with a stern face, in a low voice:

"This has nothing to do with us. We are all acting in accordance with the law. If you have any opinions, you can complain, otherwise you must follow our instructions."

Kato Yusuke twitched his brows, not knowing how to communicate with this person for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kanoko Hasami who was on the side quickly put on a smiling face and said as tactfully as possible:
"Prosecutor Kondo, don't be angry. We will definitely cooperate with the things that should be cooperated, but the sudden closure of our business will have a great impact on our work. Can you please accommodate us and let us work normally while checking what about work?"

"That can't be done, there is no need to discuss this matter." Kondo Kazuto refused straight away, his attitude was so tough.

"In short, we have given a written notice that you must suspend business and cooperate with all our inspections, and you will not be able to reopen until the results of the investigation come out."

Ren Jian Kanoko opened her mouth to speak but stopped, and was so stunned that she had nothing to say.

Ryoko Nakano pondered for a moment: "Excuse me, the three prosecutors, I would like to ask, how long will it take for you to finish the inspection?"

Kondo Kazuto looked at her in a blink of an eye, paused and said:
"This is not clear at the moment. We can only say as soon as possible. The specifics depend on the actual situation. The person in charge and the financial officer of your company should pay attention to their mobile phones recently. We will call you before we come to check. Remember to come when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took his two colleagues and left together.

……

the same moment.

In the game department of Sega Corporation.

Looking at the photos received on the phone, Shimamura couldn't help clenching his fists excitedly, then strode to an office, opened the door and entered.

"Boss, are you busy? I have good news for you!"

Matsumoto Jun behind the desk was reading the materials, when he interrupted him suddenly, he raised his head with frowning.

"I said, what's the matter with you, kid? You're a big man and you're still bluffing all day long. Is there too little work for you? It seems that you have to add more burdens."

"Hey, don't, boss!" Shimamura was in a hurry, scratching his ears and said, "Don't put any more burden on me, I've been staying up all night for several days, if I continue like this, I will die suddenly No."

Matsumoto Jun was amused by his funny appearance, raised his finger and tapped him a few times, and said earnestly:

"As for you, you talk a lot. We've only just joined the new company. There's no harm in working harder. Don't always talk about suffering, tiredness, etc. It's not good if someone hears about it."

Shimamura nodded hastily, saying yes.

"How can it be? I just want to tell you this, boss. Naturally, it is impossible for others to know. Boss, you finally brought everyone into a big company like Sega. The brothers all know what to do, and they will definitely not give it to you. Shame."

Jun Matsumoto nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's all my own, so there's no need to say these polite words, what good news did you just say?"

"That's right! Boss, look at this!"

"Huh? This is..."

"Boss, do you still remember the previous "TYPE-MOON"?They were asked by the National Taxation Office to close down for inspection, just what happened! "

Looking at the photo on Shimamura's phone, Matsumoto Jun raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Huh? What's going on? They broke the law?"

Shimamura waved his hands triumphantly, and spoke in a showy tone.

"Boss, you don't know. I suddenly became impulsive a few days ago, and I anonymously reported that brat's tax evasion to the tax bureau. Guess what? They were seized today! It's so good to see the heavens! !"

Matsumoto Jun was taken aback when he heard this, Shimamura had never told him about this before, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "How do you know they are evading taxes?"

Shimamura spread his arms and said innocently:
"I don't know. I just wanted to give it a try and disgusted him. Who would have thought it was wrong! They must be evading taxes, otherwise the tax bureau wouldn't have seized them for no reason, would it?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help grinning gloatingly, and patted his thigh with pleasure.

"It's fortunate that we left early! Otherwise, if we stay in their company, we might be implicated by this incident!"

Matsumoto Jun didn't comment on this, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get the photos on this phone?"

Shimamura replied straightforwardly: "When I was fired by that brat, I took on a private job for a while. Someone happened to work at Sumitomo Building, so he sent me the photo."

He paused when he said this, and then continued with a red face.

"If you want me to say, this is retribution! Let that stinky brat talk so arrogantly all day long, is he okay now? Was he seized by the tax bureau? He deserved it hahaha!"

Looking at his excited performance, Matsumoto Jun knew that he was just retaliation, and felt something wrong in his heart, so he said:
"After all, we came out to ask for money. There is no need to make enemies with others just because of impulse. Let the past things go, don't keep entangled in "TYPE-MOON". "

Shimamura was a little upset when he heard that, thinking that it wasn't you who was pointed at and scolded at that time, so of course you said it easily.

Even so, he didn't dare to refute the boss face to face, but said vaguely: "...Don't worry, boss, I know these things well."

Matsumoto Jun nodded, "Well, as long as you have a count. I have to report to Watanabe in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do, go back to work first."

"Specialist Watanabe!?" Shimamura was taken aback, and asked: "Boss, which manager Watanabe are you talking about? Could it be the person in charge of the game development?"

Jun Matsumoto smiled and asked: "Otherwise? How many Watanabe executives do you think there are in the group?"

"My God! Boss, you are too good, right?! You can even have a meeting with Mr. Watanabe??!"

Jun Matsumoto sternly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just here to report to work. Specialist Watanabe called me because he happened to be a little interested in our project."

Shimamura was in awe, and solemnly nodded his head vigorously, "Understood, then Boss, do your work first, and I won't bother you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office quickly, for fear that he would affect Jun Matsumoto's preparations.

It's not that he reacted exaggeratedly, but that Watanabe's executive has such a status within the group.Whether their project can take off depends entirely on the attitude of the other party.

Not to mention that he was still counting on Matsumoto Jun to take him to eat and drink, so how could he be slowed down in such a major matter that concerns the future?
Returning to the work station with excitement, Shimamura didn't know what to do for a while, so he simply took out the confiscated photos of "TYPE-MOON" and admired them.

No way, he is so happy!

The former enemy was punished for breaking the law, and now the big leaders have shown interest in their projects. Is there anything happier than this?
Thinking about it, Shimamura couldn't help becoming excited, with an urge to do something impatiently.

So he put down his phone, opened a forum with a computer, registered a small account, and then created a new post to write...

……

Inside a villa in London, England.

Boom-!
Leonard Spencer thumped the table hard and shouted: "It's great, this is simply a masterpiece-!!!"

Saidura Sawamura at the side was concentrating on drawing a notebook. Suddenly, she was so frightened by him that the pencil in her hand flickered suddenly, and the offensive male lead on the drawing paper was successfully disfigured.

"My dear~?" She raised her head with a smile and asked, "May I ask what are you talking about?"

Leonard Spencer didn't seem to hear her sullenness. Instead of admitting his mistake immediately, he happily turned his upper body and pointed at the laptop in front of him.

"I mean my uncle's new work! It's the AS chapter of "Clannad"!
This is definitely the best work in Galgame I have played in my life!Regardless of the script, setting, original painting, or music, they are all amazing!

Even if you look at the entire history of Galgame games, you can't find such a comprehensive masterpiece——! "

"?"

Saidura Sawamura blinked her eyes ignorantly, forgetting what she wanted to say for a while, and it took a while before she understood what her husband was saying.

She twitched her brows lightly, feeling a little unacceptable.

"...So what? It's because of this reason that you yelled over there? It even affected people so much that they couldn't even draw a notebook?"

"Huh? What is this kind of reason—??" Leonard Spencer opened his eyes and raised his voice unconsciously.

"Sayuri, did you not understand me? This is a masterpiece! You should be more excited!?"

Sayuri Sawamura gave him a blank look, and replied indifferently:
"Then I would like to ask, dear, do you know how many times you have repeated the same words in the past few days?

Also, we went abroad this time to attend the prince's banquet, but you left him behind and hid here alone to play games. What should I say about you? "

Leonard Spencer was speechless, coughed a little guilty, and excused himself.

"Hmm... Although it's true that I'm wrong, but then again, dear, don't you also draw danmei books here? This kind of behavior doesn't seem to be much better than mine...?"

Sayuri Sawamura tilted her head slightly and said:
"Ahh~ Who made her just a wife who doesn't know much about the world? But you are an out-and-out diplomat? Don't you still not know the importance of work and play?"

"But, dear, this is no ordinary game, but a masterpiece that is destined to be recorded in history!
Especially the plot of Nagisa Furukawa, I even got goosebumps all over my body when I was playing it!

Our uncle is simply a genius, to come up with such a wonderful and touching reversal!This is definitely the best game story of the year!

All in all, its charm is not comparable to ordinary works.Anyway, there is nothing serious about the prince, of course I want to stay at home and play games! "

Leonard explained generously, as if he didn't feel how unnatural his speech was.

Sayuri Sawamura held her cheek lightly, "So, it seems that many people in the recent rotten girl circle are discussing the plot of Nagisa Furukawa."

"—Isn't that right!?"

Leonard Spencer repeated:

"That's why I said that this plot is very well written! Although some people on the Internet were angry at the BE ending of this character, and even suffered a lot of trauma, but this is what makes people feel profound!
Of course, it's not that I can't understand their feelings. After all, it took more than ten hours to play to such a tragic ending, and any player would feel angry.

However, the subtlety of this work lies in this-!
Only those players with enough patience can continue to play under pressure after being hit, and thus usher in the true ending of the game, gaining an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!

I have to say, our uncle really knows how to handle the psychology of players! "

When it comes to emotional excitement, Leonard Spencer's entire face turns red, showing a state of high excitement.

"........."

Sayuri Sawamura looked at her husband and couldn't help feeling speechless.

Although she also understood that what Leonard Spencer said was basically true, the problem was—

"...Even so, you don't need to call Kato-kun every single one of you, right? Aren't you always wary of others?"

Leonard Spencer was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and immediately gave a straightforward answer.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. Brother Kato has proven his excellence, and he also loves Ying Lili very much. As a father, I must support them of course!"

Sayuri Sawamura frowned, "... You are the ultimate person who doesn't distinguish between public and private. Can you give your daughter to another man just because of a game?"

"Hmm? My dear, you really don't understand what I mean?" Leonard Spencer said plausibly.

"The so-called masterpiece is not something that can be easily made just by having a goal.

Even if you find those super-famous companies, super-luxury production staff, coupled with abundant funds and production cycle, it does not mean that it will be successful.

Brother Kato is still so young, and he will definitely make better things in the future. It can be said that the future is limitless!
I have a hunch that he will definitely become a super producer like Akane Benizaka in the future.It's better to say...he is already in a mess now! "

Sayuri Sawamura massaged her temples and sighed involuntarily.

Although she had long understood that her husband was a hopeless otaku, she still felt helpless at this moment.

She waved her hand, and suddenly lost the mood to continue chatting with Leonard Spencer, and instead swiped SNS with her mobile phone.

I don't know if it's because I just talked about related topics, but the content pushed out on the Internet is all about "Clannad".

As Leonard Spencer said just now, the story of Nagisa Furukawa sparked a debate on the Internet between praise and criticism.

Those who evaluate it as a god-reversal, those who agree with the bold style of the production team, those who criticize the content of the game for deliberate sensationalism, those who promote specific characters, plot supremacists, and other sporadic forces are arguing with each other.

While Sayuri Sawamura was speechless, she was also secretly shocked by the current popularity of "Clannad".

No matter how noisy the Internet is, it is actually adding heat to the game in a disguised form.Adding popularity to the game is equivalent to sending money to the game company behind it.

According to the news announced by "TYPE-MOON" on its official Twitter, the game disc of "Clannad" is currently sold out, and the orders are even queued until the beginning of next year!

And on the Steam platform, "Clannad" also ranked No.1 in the game download sales list in Japan!
Sayuri Sawamura has mixed feelings about this. She is happy to see her daughter's development is going smoothly, but she is also worried that the uncle will become less controllable in the future.

At this moment, a message was suddenly pushed to her on Twitter——

"Breaking the news, a well-known cartoonist is suspected of breaking the law!Now the studio has been sealed! "
