The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

I think neither "Love Metronome" nor "To the Moon" would have achieved what they have now, so..."

Facing Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze full of tenderness and expectation, Muto Yuu spoke with a smile on his face and an extremely firm tone.

"So Shiyu, you can have more confidence in yourself, you are already very good!"

Receiving the affirmation from Yuu Muto made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel happy and excited.

No matter how mature she behaves in her daily life, she is ultimately just a sophomore in high school. Adolescent girls are more delicate and sensitive inside and need more affirmation and encouragement.

..............................

In the conference room of Fuzuigawa Bunko, the heads from the three animation production companies have already arrived, and on the bunko side are Kasumigaoka Utaha, Machida Sonoko, an editor-in-chief, and an external aid, Muto Yu.

The person who was originally supposed to come was a deputy editor-in-chief, but because of Yu Muto's fame, he was temporarily replaced by the editor-in-chief.

During the whole process, Yu Muto just introduced himself briefly, and then just sat next to Utaha Kasumigaoka, watching them bargain.

Due to the length of "Love Metronome", two companies including Musashino hope to have certain self-adaptation rights so that the story can be expanded to at least twelve episodes.

Another company plans to directly make it into an animated film, which is called a theatrical version.

In addition, the conditions also involve who will be responsible for supervising the animation, and how much the production budget will be given for each episode...

In short, after listening to it, Muto Yu felt overwhelmed. As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals.

He just needs to support Kasumigaoka Utaha here to boost his confidence. If he speaks rashly, he might end up doing something worse with good intentions.

With the efforts of Machida Sonoko and the editor-in-chief of Fushigawa Bunko, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally got a relatively satisfactory contract.

It is impossible to do exactly what Kasumigaoka Utaha wants, unless she owns the animation production company.

"Huh... This is the end of it."

After walking out of the Uzui Bunko, Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a long sigh. She was already very satisfied that she could preserve the content of the original work as much as possible.

Chapter 147: City Girls Are So Tricked

"Shiyu's first work was successfully adapted into a movie, why don't you treat me to a meal?"

Machida Sonoko couldn't help but ask, of course it was mainly joking, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other party and Muto Yu were going out for lunch together.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't refuse outright, but turned to look at Muto Yuu beside her. After the latter nodded slightly, she turned around and spoke to Machida Sonoko.

"Okay, let's go together. It's the conveyor belt sushi restaurant you took me to before."

"Eh?"

This time it was Machida Sonoko's turn to be stunned. She looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression hesitantly. The other party didn't seem to be saying any polite words, but after thinking about it, she quickly waved her hand.

"I was just joking. After all, the protagonists today are Shiyu and Kayaba Akihiko. I was a little too tactless in the past."

Machida Sonoko, who did not see the little tricks between Muto Yu and Kasumigaoka Utaha just now, thought that the other party was acting on their own, so she hurriedly said this while winking at the other party.

I am worried that Kasumigaoka Utaha's self-willed behavior will cause disgust from Muto Yu.

"Editor Machida, there's no need to be like this. Today's success is entirely due to your contribution. How could we celebrate the animation of Shiyu's work without you?"

Muto You said to Machida Sonoko with a smile. The latter hesitated for a moment, repeatedly confirmed that the other party was not being polite, and then nodded.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Yu Muto was not familiar with the area, so Sonoko Machida consciously walked in front of the two of them to lead the way.

Fuzuigawa Bunko is located in a very prosperous area of ​​Tokyo, and the consumption level here is also quite high. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's current income is not low. She continues to share profits from "To the Moon" and also has copyright income from the film adaptation of "Love Metronome".

In short, as long as she doesn't eat out every day, there is no financial pressure for the rich woman Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Soon, Machida Sonoko brought the two of them into the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. After finding a place to sit down, Muto Yu looked at the conveyor belt next to the seats curiously.

I had seen it online in my previous life, and now I finally got to experience authentic conveyor belt sushi.

After lunch, Machida Sonoko left immediately. After all, she was still an employee of Fuzugawa Bunko. The work of Kasumigaoka Utaha, which she was responsible for, had just signed a contract for animation, and she was very busy now.

So only Kasumigaoka Utaha and Muto Yuu were left.

"What are the arrangements next?"

"Well, does the president have any other plans next?"

"I don't have any plans."

Hearing Yu Muto's answer, Utaha Kasumigaoka secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had dressed up so carefully today, so she naturally couldn't go back after lunch. Wouldn't that be a pity?

"Then... President, would you like to accompany me for a walk? I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I can take you to visit the surrounding commercial streets."

"Okay."

Faced with the beautiful girl's invitation, Muto Yu naturally would not refuse. The two of them walked on the commercial street. Because it was Saturday, there were many passers-by on the street and it was quite lively.

"This seems to be a department store. Would you like to go in and take a look around?"

"This seems to be a cinema with a pretty good reputation. My work has just been confirmed to be adapted into an animation, so it might be shown here. Would you mind going in with me to take a look?"

"It seems like there's a recent movie playing here. President, would you like to buy some tickets and enjoy it together?"

……

……

How should I put it? Muto Yu originally really thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha was just having a sudden whim and dragged him around aimlessly in the commercial street.

The results seem accidental, but in fact they are all inevitable.

The other party had actually planned all the places they wanted to go in the afternoon.

However, Muto Yu did not point this out. He pretended to be ignorant and enjoyed this happy time with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

When I walked out of the tram station, the sun was already half set and it was time to say goodbye.

"Um...President!"

"what happened?"

"When 'Love Metronome' is officially released, let's go see it together, okay?"

The girl facing the sunset said this to Muto Yu, and the blush on her cheeks was not sure whether it was from shyness or the reflection of the sunset.

"Of course, no problem. But before that, I think we should hold a celebration to celebrate the upcoming animation of your work."

"Eh? Isn't today..."

"But Eriri and Kei are your friends too, aren't they?"

"Who is friends with that idiot Eriri?!"

Although her words were full of disgust, Kasumigaoka Utaha would definitely not be happy if the other party really didn't come to the celebration party.

"Anyway, remember to share the good news about the animation adaptation of 'Love Metronome' to the studio chat group, and then we can discuss how to celebrate for you."

"Ok."

"Go home and rest early today. Remember you have a meeting tomorrow night at 8 o'clock on time."

"Don't worry, President. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me today!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha bowed to Mutou Yuu, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the afterglow of the sunset today was so white.

"Don't be so polite. Friends should help each other, right?"

..............................

After parting with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Muto Yuya rushed back home. After he quickly prepared dinner, he received a private message from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka: "President, I've arrived home safely, how about you?"

Muto: "I've even prepared dinner and am about to eat it."

After sending the message, Muto Yu took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the food on the table and sent it to the other party.

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the photo sent by Muto Yu on her mobile phone. Although it was quite simple, it looked very appetizing. Then she thought about the taste of the lunch boxes they usually shared at school.

Looking down at the cup of noodles she had just made with boiling water, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt that the noodles were not fragrant at all.

Kasumigaoka: "I want to eat it too."

Muto: "On Monday, we'll have it for lunch."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the other party's reply, she could only sigh silently, and then shared the good news that her work would soon be animated in the chat group of Alpha Studio.

Kato: "Eh? Animation?!"

Sawamura: "What?! How come you always get all the good things? Damn it!"

Kasumigaoka: "I just want to see you wanting something but not getting it!"

Sawamura: "Damn it, don't be so proud too soon, isn't it just an animation?!"

Chapter 148: Going to the president’s house to celebrate?

Kasumigaoka: "Isn't that it?"

Kasumigaoka: "Tsk tsk tsk, I can smell the sour smell of vinegar through the phone. What do you think is going on? @Sawamura"

On the other side, Eriri Sawamura gritted her teeth and watched Kasumigaoka Utaha jumping in her face. Her teeth were about to break, but there was nothing she could do.

As the famous Eri Kashiwagi, she has quite a few works adapted into animations, but the original works are restricted, so they are naturally still restricted after being adapted into animations.

In the contempt chain of two-dimensional creators, restricted content is obviously not as good as works for all ages like Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Moreover, it is impossible to spend much real money to improve the quality of restricted animations, and they generally have a shoddy feeling. Even if she is Eri Kashiwagi, she cannot change this.

Unless Eriri invests her own money to animate her own work.

So even if Eriri Sawamura has indeed had many works adapted into animations, can she tell anyone about it? If she really tells anyone about it, she would be handing it to Utaha Kasumigaoka.

Muto: "Well, this is indeed good news, so have you thought about how to celebrate?"

Kasumigaoka: "Not yet, everyone can come up with some ideas."

Kato: "How about we find a place like before and go there for a training camp to celebrate?"

Kasumigaoka: "That seems like a good idea. Does Hui have any recommendations for places, or places you'd like to visit?"

Kato: "As the protagonist of the celebration, shouldn't you go where you want to go?"

Kasumigaoka: "But I can't think of anywhere I want to go right now."

Muto: "Don't be so anxious to decide right away. It's okay to take your time to think about it."

..............................

On Sunday, the morning meeting was held as normal, but because she had to modify last week's character portraits, Eriri only completed the design of two and a half character portraits this week.

However, Muto Yu did not say anything for the time being, but just asked the other party to speed up later. Sawamura Eriri, who secretly took time to draw in the book, agreed guiltily.

There is no problem with the progress of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi. After giving some suggestions to the art and programming, Muto Yuya once again concentrated on the final debugging of the Type-M game engine.

After a week of intermittent testing, the reliability and ease of use of this game engine have been fully confirmed.

With the completion of the game engine, Muto Yuya began to prepare to produce the program for the "Don't Starve" game. At the same time, he was also thinking about the game to follow "Don't Starve".

Although Yu Muto has been testing the game engine during this period, he did not waste time during class. Instead, he was drawing art resources for "Don't Starve".

With Yu Muto's current painting speed, it is not a big problem to complete all the art resources in ten days.

Although there are still many classic small-scale games that have not been produced, after looking through the library of games that have been purchased but not produced, Yu Muto thought for a long time and decided to make "Vampire Survivor".

Just like the previous "Terraria", it supports two styles of painting. The high-definition style is provided as a free DLC and is not built into the game to take up computer storage space.

In the third week after school started, Yu Muto drew art resources for "Vampire Survivor" during the day and used the newly developed Type-M game engine to write programs for "Don't Starve" at night.

Thanks to the powerful performance of the latest game engine, it is expected that the problem of long loading time in the game in the previous life can be solved.

In addition, Yu Muto also directly wrote some convenient and practical mods, such as making buildings more neat, or displaying additional detailed information about items.

Wednesday noon, club activity classroom.

"Is there really no good place for everyone to go? I've been thinking about it for a long time these past few days, but I can't think of any suitable place."

After lunch, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a headache that she was supposed to be celebrating for herself, but instead she felt like she was drawing her sword and looking around, feeling confused.

"If there's really no place you want to go, then let's just celebrate at your house."

Sawamura Eriri gave a suggestion casually, which in itself seemed to be looking for trouble, but after waiting for a while, there was no response from Kasumigaoka Utaha.
