Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 754

That evening, in a izakaya.

With a bang, Shimamura put the beer glass heavily on the table, and shouted loudly: "Boss, have another glass of draft beer!"

When Matsumoto Jun heard what he said, he reminded: "You've already had a few drinks, it's almost enough."

"Damn it, how could my anger be calmed down by this little wine?"

"When the wine comes up, you will only become more angry, and there will be no end."

"That's because the person being scolded is not you, the boss, so you can speak so easily. If I don't drink enough today, I won't be able to survive at all."

Shimamura muttered, and regardless of persuasion, asked the boss for another glass of beer, and began to drink a lot.

Ever since he was severely criticized at the meeting in the morning, he has been holding back a fire in his heart.

He still can't let go of the shame of being pointed and scolded by a person who is ten years younger than himself.

"That stinky brat thinks it's great to have a few stinky money, and doesn't have any respect for seniors..."

"It's the same with the younger generation now, and you get used to it later on."

"Ha!? How is that possible? This is Japan, Japan! Boss, you came back from the United States, so you can't understand my mood at all."

Matsumoto Jun ate the lantern slowly, and said: "It doesn't matter where you are, you simply can't hold your breath, and your practice is not enough."

Shimamura moaned for a while, peeped at his expression and asked:

"Boss, are you willing to do this? Our group is the backbone even if we go to Maltz, but it turns out that we are used as coolies here..."

"Coolie?" Matsumoto Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"You kid is purely making use of the problem. The workload of this company is less than half of what we used to do in SQ, and the salary has increased by 20%. Can this be called coolie?"

"Hey, you can't say that, boss." Shimamura put down his glass and said vigorously:
"Yes, I admit that the work here is indeed a lot easier than before, but our goal is the sea of ​​stars, how can we be satisfied with such a small amount of money?"

The so-called sea of ​​stars is the goal Jun Matsumoto promised to the main creators, to produce a truly independent game and carve out a world of his own in the industry.

Dao Cun has always believed in this, and is looking forward to the day when he can become famous, so he will obey Matsumoto Junyan.

Including the conflict that happened in the conference room in the morning, it was not accidental, everything was discussed in advance.

He plays black face, Matsumoto Jun plays red face.

As for the purpose of doing so, it is also simple.

It is to help Jun Matsumoto establish a personality and prestige in the studio. After all, who would not like a person who is fair, upright and general?

That's basically how interpersonal relationships are in the workplace. People with leadership charisma can always gain people's hearts.

Shimamura thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty:

"But...boss, is it really effective for us to act like this? Although you said that doing so will help us gain real power, but I don't think that brat has expressed anything?"

Matsumoto Jun smiled: "Look, I said you can't hold your breath right? How can this kind of thing be so fast? Just take your time. Haven't you heard that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"

"Ah? Take your time??" Shimamura said with a bitter face, "I can't let me be criticized in public next time, right? Wouldn't I lose all face?"

Jun Matsumoto put his shoulders on his shoulders, with a serious expression on his face, "Since you are out to make money, don't take your face too seriously, the real thing is to make money."

"The question is, is it really worth the effort? It feels like going straight to another big company."

"The competition of large companies is more intense. Even in the same department, projects have to compete for resources between projects. This kind of small company is more suitable for us to play."

Shimamura groped for a long time, and felt that this was indeed the case. Besides, he still counted on Matsumoto Jun to take him to take off, so naturally he couldn't refuse other people's request.

Isn't it just to lose face?As long as the subsequent returns are large enough, what is this?
It's done!

He gritted his teeth when he thought of this, and said, "Okay, boss, you can do whatever you want, if you need me to do anything, just tell me!"

Matsumoto Jun nodded with satisfaction, picked up his beer and clinked glasses with him.

……

three days later.

On the official website and Twitter of the "TYPE-MOON" studio, the release announcement of "Clannad After Story" came out.

In addition to being launched on the Steam platform, the new DLC will also be released simultaneously in major offline physical stores, and the time will be finalized in the morning of the day after tomorrow (September [-]).

As soon as this announcement was issued, it immediately attracted countless players to watch.

"The new DLC will be released the day after tomorrow?? Isn't this too fast? I haven't finished the academy chapter yet!"

"No, brother upstairs, your progress is too slow, isn't it? It's been almost a month since the academy chapter was released, why haven't you got through yet?"

"It's normal to fail. This game is often ridiculously long. It takes about 90 hours to pass the level after normal play. If you want to speed through, I recommend you to read the strategy released by TAKI on the first floor."

"Don't hurt people upstairs, watching the guide and playing this game is a waste of good stuff! Believe me, you must play according to your own feelings for the first time, otherwise you will lose a lot of emotion and fun."

"I agree, this game is really top! It's been a long time since I met a Galgame that moved me so much, and I've already done it twice."

"Passing by three times."

"Four brushes passing by."

"N brush passing by."

"Nothing to say! I look forward to the launch of the new DLC, I will buy it immediately!"

"No, isn't anyone worried about the quality of the DLC? To be honest, I think the academy chapter has already done a great job, and the AS chapter won't let it down..."

"What the hell? Are you looking down on my combination of "Fujimoto + Kashiwagi Eri + Kasumi Shiko"?It's over without thinking! "

"Not too much, just want to say something to the teachers of "TYPE-MOON" studio, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! "

"..."

On the official website, forums, and game platforms, many players are discussing what this new DLC will be like.

Some people worry that it will become a clumsy work that cheats money. After all, it is not uncommon in the industry to see works that start well and then fail. In addition, its development time is short, which will inevitably make people sweat.

The main reason is that the academy chapter of "Clannad" is already very good, both word-of-mouth and sales are very explosive, what if the quality of the new DLC is not good enough to mess up the word-of-mouth?
Many people in the industry are not too optimistic about this DLC, thinking that the "TYPE-MOON" studio is too risky.

Besides, the current potential of "Clannad" is far from being exhausted. Instead of rushing to launch new DLC at this time, the smarter approach should be to wait for another year until the game can't be sold, and then rely on DLC to drain its last potential.

Of course, players don't think so much.

For the majority of players, their requirements have always been very simple.As long as you show me the beautiful girl, I will give you a ticket.

In any case, the enthusiasm of the players has been mobilized, and many people are waiting for the new DLC on September [-]th, expecting it to achieve another success.

But these voices on the Internet did not affect Yusuke Kato, who was looking at the art resources newly handed in by Shimamura.

After many revisions, the new art resources finally meet the requirements and can match Ying Lili's painting style.

Kato Yusuke nodded, "Well, not bad."

When Shimamura heard this comment, he was also a little bit pained while being happy.It took him three days to revise, but he only got a "not bad" evaluation?

He was a little bit unwilling, and tentatively asked: "Boss, do you think there is anything else that needs improvement?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head and returned the art resources in his hand to him.

"I don't have any problems here. You can ask Teacher Eri Kashiwagi to see if she has any opinions. She is the one who takes care of everything."

"..."

Shimamura felt speechless for a while, but he didn't say much, and left the office honestly with his things.

Kato Yusuke didn't bother to pay attention to what Shimamura was thinking, as long as this person could do his job well, he wouldn't bother to worry about what was there or what wasn't.

After writing about the plans for the Fate series for a while, he came to the tea room to make himself a cup of coffee, but he happened to meet Yoshida.

Seeing that he was holding a mug in his hand, the other party asked, "Huh? Kato, are you going to make coffee? Shall I help you?"

Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then laughed and teased back, "Yoah? Why are you so attentive? What are your plans?"

"There's a fart." Yoshida glared at him angrily, and picked up the cup in his hand to signal, "I was going to make coffee too, and I said I'd make it for you, so you don't want to forget it."

"No, I didn't say no, then I'll trouble you." Kato Yusuke said with a smile, and handed over the mug.

While making coffee, the two casually chatted about trivial matters at work.

Although "Clannad After Story" will not be released until the day after tomorrow, in fact, the work that should be done has already ended. The current programming department is doing "Chidai AS" programming every day, which can be described as very leisurely.

Yoshida curiously asked about the progress of "FGO", and wanted to start preparations earlier, but was pushed back by Kato Yusuke on the grounds that the time had not come.

Seeing his tight-lipped tone, Yoshida had no choice but to go back to his office depressed.

Write code casually, answer questions for newcomers, and then learn about mobile games, and it's almost time to get off work.

Yoshida thought for a while, took out the newly bought electric shaver from the drawer, and shaved his beard vigorously.

Because the studio doesn't have strict requirements, he usually doesn't take care of his beard very diligently, and basically only shaves it on days that are too conspicuous or important.

And today is the day he promised to have dinner with his old colleagues.

Although there was no need to shave off his beard for such a trivial matter, once he thought of the scene where he might meet Miss Goto, he couldn't help but do it.

After finishing this matter, it's time to get off work.

He put on his suit jacket and was about to leave with his briefcase, but Mishima Yuba came looking for him.

"Senior Yoshida, are you ready to get off work?"

"Oh... I'm a little bit busy today, what's the matter with you?"

"Ah, you're talking about that—Huh??"

Mishima Yuba suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, staring at his chin for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly, "...Senior Yoshida, you actually shaved?"

Yoshida raised his hand subconsciously, touched his clean chin, and said vaguely: "Well, I shaved it a little because it grew a little..."

Mishima Yuba's eyes slowly moved down, landed on him, and said, "Hmph, Yoshida-senpai even bought a new suit, are you looking forward to that?"

Yoshida was taken aback, "What do you expect?"

Mishima Yuba didn't speak, just looked at him sideways.

The eyes were quite profound, and exuded a completely different atmosphere from usual, which made Yoshida's heart tremble inexplicably, as if he had the illusion of being seen through by others.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the other party turned his face to the other side.

"...Forget it, anyway, let's go."

"Go? Where are you going??"

"Don't ask so many questions, you just keep up anyway."

"No, I have something to do today..."

"Senior Yoshida." Mishima Yuba interrupted him coldly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you will regret it if you don't follow me?"

"???" A series of question marks appeared on Yoshida's head, making him even more confused.

She said he would regret it if he didn't follow?Where did this come from? ?

Also, I am going to an appointment with an old colleague, maybe I will meet Ms. Goto again, so what's the matter with keeping up with her? ?
These thoughts quickly passed through his head, and Yoshida made a serious face and said, "Don't mess around, we can talk about it tomorrow. I really have something to do today, so I don't have time to play guessing games with you."

After he finished speaking, he left the office regardless of the junior's reaction.

Mishima Yuba looked at the back of him leaving in a hurry, couldn't help stomping her feet angrily, scolded the dull idiot, and immediately strode after him.

……

I came to Ikebukuro Station according to the address on the mobile phone.

Just as Yoshida was about to go to the restaurant he had made an appointment with, the collar of his shirt was suddenly grabbed from behind forcefully, causing him to moan "Woo".

He turned around in a panic and found that Mishima Yuba was looking at him with frowning eyes.

"No, Mishima, what do you want to follow me all the time? Don't you need to go home??"

"Senior Yoshida is, why are you walking so fast?"

"Didn't I tell you everything was wrong?"

"What can Senior Yoshida do? Are you going on a date with the opposite sex?"

"Uh……"

Yoshida was speechless.

Although he is actually going to a male-dominated drinking party, it is undeniable that he does have a little secret selfishness in his heart.

But the problem is, he has no reason to explain it to others, right? ?

He couldn't help being a little angry, organized his words and said, "What's going on with you today? No matter who I want to see, it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

When Mishima Yuba heard his words, her lips were pursed high, showing an angry expression.

"What, it's a shame that someone wants to invite you to dinner, but Yoshida-senpai shows such a disgusted expression, it's bad."

"What? Invite me to dinner? Isn't this too sudden?"

"What's the matter, Yoshida-senpai just accompany me for a while. Do you want to become a heartless man who leaves his lovely junior here alone, but goes to other women?"

"You idiot, don't use that inexplicable metaphor for me! It will lead to misunderstanding."

Yoshida spoke with a very headache, feeling that this stalemate might be endless, so he took a step back.

"Okay, otherwise I'll treat you to a cup of coffee, can we wait for another day to eat?"

"Okay!" Mishima Yuba nodded in satisfaction, and then walked forward, "I know there is a good store nearby, Yoshida-senpai, come with me~"

Yoshida sighed depressingly, and decided to get rid of this follower as soon as possible.

……

　Sorry, I have been too busy to do some formalities these two days.
