Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Two weeks after the broadcast of "Fate/zero", the popularity continues to rise.

It is not only popular on the GOGO platform. There are also many analysis videos and discussion videos of this show on websites like Banana Short Video, Palapala Long Video, YouTube, and Next Video in Japan.

More and more players came to the downstairs of the Holy Light Club to buy the original "Fate" cassette. The maid cafe next to the Holy Light Club was crowded every day, and countless fans gathered here to discuss the plot. Once, when Fuyukawa Che came downstairs to buy cigarettes, he met a maid who bowed to him and thanked him, which made him confused.

There is no doubt that the discussion about "Fate/zero" is very hot. At first, the hot topics discussed by the audience were mainly the knives in the plot, but later, the hot topics discussed by the audience turned to the behavior of the protagonist Kiritsugu Emiya.

To be honest, the reason why the "Fate" series became popular is not because of the so-called dark and cruel plot.

Or to put it more bluntly, most of Japan's classic dark and tragic animations are not made just for the sake of being cruel, but because only the dark and tragic style can better present the plot and discuss topics about philosophy and human nature with the audience.

For example, the Ant King chapter of "Hunter x Hunter"; "EVA"; "Attack on Titan" and so on.

These works all have a core of discussion, and the core topic to be discussed in "Fate/zero" is the behavior of the protagonist Kiritsugu Emiya - a necessary evil.

[Necessary evil] is actually the same as the train problem.

There are a hundred people standing on one side of the track, and fifty people standing on the other side of the track. Which side would you direct the train to?

If we follow the "necessary evil", then fifty people will be crushed to death. This seems to be fine, and many people even agree with this approach, but.

What if we rephrase this question?

When a company is not doing well, it needs to lay off employees in order to survive. And you, who are anxiously waiting for salary to pay rent, are one of the small number of people who are laid off.

Or to put it another way, you and your girlfriend's mother fell into the water together, and your girlfriend chose to save her mother. As a witness, would you still think that this is an understandable [necessary evil] or [painful good]?

There is no unified standard answer to this topic, but it is just like most people like to find a lifelong iron rice bowl, a forever happy and stable life, and a relationship that will never change in a world where the only constant is change itself.

What many viewers like to do most is to find accurate answers in topics where accurate answers cannot be found.

There were heated arguments on the Internet every day, and many fans even sent private messages to Dongchuan Che's [GOGO platform] account. But it was obvious that Dongchuan Che didn't want to get involved in such meaningless entanglements, and he didn't have much time to entangle these.

Three weeks after the release of Fate/zero, its popularity has completely reached its peak, almost causing heated discussions on the entire Internet. In stark contrast to the high popularity of Fate/zero is NTsoft's President Asai.

NTsoft's previous situation was not good. Although it had a lot of cash, its stock price had been declining due to the lack of talent and declining reputation.

This time, because he was jealous of the success of Toru Fuyukawa's animation department, and with the increasing pressure from the Kozuru faction within the company, Asai went against all odds and established NTsoft's animation department, hoping to gain some performance.

There is indeed an opportunity to gain performance when establishing a new department, but the problem is that if the performance of the new department is not good, the trouble will only get bigger.

Now, as the popularity of "Fate/zero" is getting higher and higher, and as the reputation of the NTsoft version of "K-ON!" is getting worse and worse, the pressure from the board of directors facing Asai within NTsoft is also increasing.

Asai is now very afraid that Toru Fuyukawa will come out to attack "K-ON!" at this time. After all, their marketing scam can easily affect word of mouth. If Toru Fuyukawa comes out to attack at this time, the stock price of NTsoft is likely to decline further.

This also shows the troubles of listed companies.

Publicly listed companies can obtain better financing and can grow faster, but they also have many restrictions.

On the one hand, it is easy to be influenced by public opinion. For example, Shengguangsha is not listed, so it is not so afraid of public opinion attacks, but if public opinion explodes for listed companies, it will further affect the stock price. Secondly, the power of the president of a listed company is limited by the board of directors. If NTsoft's stock price falls further, Asai's position as president will probably be unstable.

Now Asai is very afraid that Toru Fuyukawa will stand up and accuse him of his fraudulent marketing.

So, in the fourth week after the broadcast of "Fate/zero", after he called Fuyukawa Tetsu and found that he was blocked, he ran to SATE's executive director Kuriyama, hoping that the other party could help him, but

The answer I got was just a sentence from Fuyukawa Tetsu: "I'm very busy recently and don't have time to meet. If you have any questions, please contact Miyano directly."

Asai was furious that his former subordinate was now speaking to him in such a tone. If it weren't for Executive Director Kuriyama standing next to him, he would have smashed his phone again. But there was no point in getting angry. Fuyukawa Tetsu was no longer the little shrimp who stood under the eaves and read people's faces.

There was no other choice, Asai could only send his wife to invite Miyano Mitsukoshi and the others to have tea. However, this actually caused some minor trouble for Fuyukawa Che.

.

"Honey~~~Come and help me take a look at this pair of earrings."

".As long as you like it."

Four o'clock in the afternoon, in the president's office of the Holy Light Society.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Dongchuan Che sat in the boss chair, drinking coffee and flipping through the [New Flame Giant BOSS Battle Plan] submitted by the R&D department on his tablet.

Because "Fate/zero" is so popular, and "Fate/06 Saber Line" has entered the development stage, he rarely has a little free time, and can bask in the warm autumn sun, drink coffee, and deal with work.

He looked up at Sayoko and Sato Fujiko, who were wearing long skirts, lying in front of the bookcase with their buttocks sticking out, rummaging around in the cabinet. He then looked at Miyano Mitsuko, who was wearing earrings and acting coquettishly to him in front of the mirror. He took a sip of coffee, his eyes full of a helpless smile.

It seems that Asai and SATE's Executive Director Kuriyama are old acquaintances. Tonight, Executive Director Kuriyama's wife organized a wives' party. It was called a party, but in fact, it was just to let Mrs. Asai persuade Miyano Mitsuko and Sato Fujiko to stop Fuyukawa Che from messing around.

Of course, this kind of persuasion cannot be just good words. It must include some soft words and some exchanges of interests, such as selling the IP of "K-ON!" to Toru Fuyukawa.

Honestly speaking, if it was half a year ago, it would have been almost impossible for Toru Fuukawa to completely get this IP back, and even if he tried hard, he would have to pay a heavy price in the end. But now is different, not only because Asai's position as president is unstable, but also because NTsoft's "K-ON!" failed.

Just like many game IPs with unsatisfactory sales will be shelved by the company. In the future, NTsoft will not touch this IP for at least three to five years. In other words, Asai was unable to convince the board of directors to restart this IP with huge risks, and his position is now unstable.

In this case, for Asai, if he could use "K-ON!", an IP that he himself failed at, to gain some benefits, such as a lower commission from the [GOGO platform], he would be able to give an explanation to the board of directors.

Of course, if you want to negotiate a contract to [reduce the commission on all games] based on just "K-ON!", Toru Fuyukawa will definitely not agree, but there is no big problem in offering an agreement to [reduce the commission on NTsoft's subsequent 1-3 works].

As for whether Asai accepts it or not, it doesn’t matter. The worst that can happen is that he will just be adding insult to injury.

Dongchuan Che never had any mercy on his business competitors.

Now that the matter was almost set in stone, Dongchuan Che didn't pay much attention to it. However, for Miyano Mitsuko, the situation was different.

Although the working atmosphere at Shengguang Society is relatively harmonious, in fact, the hierarchy in the Japanese workplace is very strict.

If new employees do not bow and greet old employees, they will sometimes be scolded. This status continuation not only occurs in the workplace, but also continues among the wives of leaders.

When Miyano Mitsuwa was at NTsoft, she was often called by Asai's wife to attend tea parties and cherry blossom viewings during festivals. And because she was originally from the Kozuru faction, she was often bullied.

For example, if you give someone an expensive scarf as a gift during a holiday, you will be laughed at for being old-fashioned.

Now that she could "avenge her previous shame", she was naturally extremely excited. Ever since she hung up the phone arrogantly at noon, she had been in a state of excitement.

Look, we said we were going to meet at 6pm, but she came over at 3am to choose jewelry and put on makeup. What's interesting is that this "sisters should be strong!" atmosphere also affected Sayoko.

Not only the two powerful people, Miyano Mitsuwa and Sato Fujiko, will be attending the banquet tonight, but Sayoko, who is usually more low-key and rarely appears in the eyes of her peers in the industry, will also be going.

To be honest, Sayoko is not very interested in such occasions. Instead of being polite with some strangers, she would rather stay at home drawing in her sketchbook, or lie on the sofa after doing housework, eat snacks, and watch variety shows.

But what's interesting is that she is gentle and considerate by nature and has a very kind maternal aura. Not only is the little girl Himawari Izumi very dependent on her, but even Miyano Mitsuha and Sato Fujiko are also very attached to her.

Unable to resist the two women's nagging, Sayoko, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, finally agreed.

Looking at Sayoko, who looked like a dog-headed military strategist, gesturing with a pearl necklace on Sato Fujiko's fair neck, and then looking at Miyano Mite, who was posing in front of the mirror with her hands on her hips, Touchuan Che did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

I don’t know whether I should be happy for their harmonious atmosphere, or mourn for my own bookcase that has been converted into a women’s wardrobe.

Thinking of this, he turned his boss chair and looked back at the lady with glasses who was typing at the boss's desk. "Are you sure you don't want to go to the party today? I heard from Mei Ting that you seem to have had some conflicts with Asai's wife in the past."

"If I don't go, she will be even more panicked."

Slender white fingers tapped on the keyboard, and the gold-rimmed glasses reflected the image of Sword Art Online.

It’s like the injection itself is not that scary, but the process of waiting for the injection is a bit scary.

If Chika Ohara went to the banquet today, Mrs. Asai would probably be relieved, but if she didn't go, Mrs. Asai would scare herself and live in fear.

"As expected, girls with glasses are all evil-minded."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shook his head.

Ohara Chika didn't want to go, so he naturally didn't force her. He was looking at the work content sent by his subordinates while chatting with three women who were making up. Occasionally, he went up to help zip up her skirt and occasionally helped put on her necklace.

It was a very intimate interaction, and naturally there were also the favorite parts of the thirty-year-old beautiful woman, such as [grabbing the root treasure] and [pinching the pomelo]. However, apart from Sayoko and Miyano Mitsuko, the two women who had been with them the longest, Sato Fujiko was not open enough to join in. As for Ohara Chika

Because they were busy with work recently, and the two little girls were pestering them every day, the two of them had not yet reached the final step. In this case, it was naturally inconvenient to hold a party directly in the office.

This feeling of being able to kiss and touch but not eat is like scratching an itch through a shoe, which is a bit suffocating. Fortunately, as time passed to five o'clock in the afternoon, as Aunt Nogi arranged a special car, the three beautiful women in long skirts also hurriedly put on their small bags and prepared to leave. However, before leaving

"Sister is going out to drink, little bad boy, remember to go home and wash yourself clean, and wait for sister to come back to sober up. Mua~~"

Wearing a sexy backless red dress and sharp high heels, Miyano Mitsuha smiled and gave Toru Dongchuan a charming kiss on the face.

Not only was she wearing hot clothes today, but her lipstick was also very bright, a fiery red lipstick, paired with her pretty face and long wavy hair, which were already very charming. She gave a gentle kiss on the cheek to Dong Chuan Che who was still reading the documents.

A sexy, plump red rose.

But it wasn't over yet. Miyano Mitsuko had just thrown her small bag on her back, and before Toru Fuyukawa could react, Sato Fujiko, who was wearing a black shoulder-length dress and a diamond necklace and looked like a black swan, also smiled and leaned close to his other cheek.

She also stamped her cheek, then exhaled sweetly and laughed softly, "I'll wait for you under the big tree in the yard tonight. Today I'm wearing open crotch black stockings. Hehe, someone has responded."

She noticed the change in Xiao Dongchuan from the corner of her eye, but before Dongchuan Che could respond, she pulled away with a smile as if her prank had succeeded, and then pouted and made a cute little face.

"These two girls"

Looking at the two giggling little women, Dong Chuan Che smiled and rolled his eyes at them.

Today, both Sato Fujiko and Miyano Mion are very excited, but this is normal.

Deep down in their hearts, they do yearn for a warm home and a broad arm, but this is just like many young people in their twenties who find loneliness very unbearable, but when they reach around thirty years old, they can almost enjoy the freedom that loneliness brings.

After so many years of working outside, they have also become accustomed to the fierce competition in the workplace and have begun to enjoy the failures and victories after working hard.

And it is obvious that if it were not for their efforts during this period, Dongchuan Che would not be able to manage such a large company by himself. After all, if he hired outsiders to take key positions, he would not be able to be a half-hands-off boss like he is now, focusing entirely on product research and development, not to mention expanding the company to a scale of 3,000 people in such a short period of time.

Now that the two lionesses are going to reap the [fruits of victory], Dong Chuan Che is naturally very happy.

But compared to the excitement of Miyano Mitsuko and Sato Fujiko, Sayoko, who was now wearing a light green floral dress, took out the key from her small bag and handed it to Dongchuan Che, "Hey, there are some braised pork ribs and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the refrigerator last night. If Che-kun eats them at home tonight, you can take them out and heat them up. Also, I put Xiaobai and Juju's food away this morning~"

She kept on giving instructions, but before she could finish her words, Fat Peach was slapped.

Feeling the softness of his palm rebounding, Dong Chuan Che smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I'm not a child, there's no need to tell you so much. Drink less tonight, and call me when it's almost time, and I'll pick you up."

"Hmph, you never listen to what I say. Well, I'm leaving now."

She also gave Dongchuan Che a cold look, but despite saying that, Sayoko still lowered her head and kissed Dongchuan Che on the lips, then smiled as she slung her bag over her shoulder and left the office chatting and laughing with the two beautiful women who were already waiting at the door.

Before leaving, the extremely excited Miyano Miyabe and Sato Fujiko did not forget to blow a kiss to Toru Fuyukawa.

The three noisy guys left, and as the sounds of high heels and laughter gradually disappeared in the corridor, the office became completely quiet.

"Go pick up the two little girls, and then have dinner together tonight?"

He glanced at his watch and realized it was past five o'clock when he got off work. Dongchuan Che put his tablet in the drawer, locked it, and stretched.

Hearing what he said, Ohara Chika, who had not participated in the conversation but was just typing, adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "My mom will go take care of Nanako and Sayuri today. You can go somewhere with me tonight."

"Well? Where to?"

Dongchuan Che was looking forward to this rare moment of solitude.

The glasses girl Ohara Chika's eyes showed some funny emotions of "I really lost to you, a big pervert", and then she took out two wet tissues and handed them to him, scolding: "You guy, whenever you are alone, you always think about dirty things, you are really perverted. Okay, okay, I will wipe the lipstick marks on your face first, as for where to go."

Having said that, she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses that gave her a bit of a "gentlemanly villain" vibe, and then smiled slyly like a little fox.

"You'll know then."
