Chapter 311

"We look forward to your wise judgment!"

He rose and leaned forward, Hands her soft hands in his palms, and said with utmost solemnity:

"Furthermore, if you accept this invitation, I'll get you a permanent membership card here. Everything will be free except for tea and snacks, and you can even freely hold and cuddle the cats! How about it?"

"!!!"

Just as she was about to comment on the somewhat intimate gesture, her heart was instantly filled with shock by these words, leaving her speechless for a long time.

"..."

I don't know how much time passed.

"Let, let us think about it..."

With unwavering perseverance and the bond she shared with her teammates, she regained some of her senses. Her beautiful skin flushed, and she replied weakly with an indescribable look of infatuation.

After concluding his far-reaching meeting with Minato Yukina before lunch, he returned to his apartment, changed his clothes, and prepared for the rest of the day.

Whether it's later, in the afternoon, or in the evening, there are still many things to do.

Noon.

In the suite that serves as Gal Studio, several people sit around the dining table, clinking glasses with their Drinks:

"Cheers!"

X N.

After taking a big gulp of his Drinks, Sakurakoji Talent let out a soft "Ha~" to express his devout faith in the god of carbonated beverage, and then said to the people in front of him:

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time!"

"Thanks to everyone's hard work, we have finally completed the production of the prologue to <White Album> today! Congratulations!"

"Today, I'll personally cook to treat everyone! Relax and enjoy!"

Almost a week has passed since the last time Kogisora Yukina recorded a song. While he was enjoying himself in Kawasaki last night, Eriri and the others worked through the night and finally finished the game production before Golden Week. After checking it, they sent the files to the terminal's coordinator online.

Next, the other party will use the existing game engine of Yingling. YiIVwujiuIV to integrate and package it, and the online version should be released in less than two days.

Then, if CDs or physical copies need to be produced, they are handed over to the ACGN department of the entertainment company, which then sends them to the factory for mass production.

Therefore, they didn't go to school today and slept here until noon.

Well, anyway, the Golden Week holiday starts tomorrow, so it doesn't really matter whether we go to work or not on this one day in the middle.

Ten consecutive days of free play have students ecstatic!

"Well, I feel like I haven't done anything, is it really okay for me to stay here... or something?"

Kato Megumi spoke in a flat, emotionless tone and expression, like an outsider.

Even though she had recently studied books on progress management and programming, the time was too short, and she didn't have much opportunity to use her skills this time.

"That's not true. At least you did an excellent job of bringing these two people here every day, so you're considered a member of the team."

Sakurakoji Talent offered a comforting smile.

"However, if you learn quickly, you might be able to contribute to the subsequent progress monitoring and program encapsulation."

"I see. I'll try my best."

Kato Megumi held up Drinks in one hand and pumped it up with the other.

However, her Maid Outfit made the action seem rather unserious.

"Ah, it's finally temporarily over--"

Eriri leaned back in her chair, her face showing obvious signs of fatigue. If you were to ask who among them had been the busiest lately, it would undoubtedly be her.

Not only does she have to be responsible for her own illustrations, but she also has to tutor Shiina Mashiro, act as a teacher, and maintain the demeanor of a young lady at school, trying her best not to get distracted in class.

It was incredibly tough!

"Whenever I wanted to slack off, Hui would come to my house... Waaaaah! These painful days are finally over!"

Holding the bottom of the Drinks cup in one hand, she buried her face in her hands on the table and sobbed uncontrollably.

If others didn't know better, they would have thought she was holding a bottle of wine.

"It's only temporarily over, Sawamura-kun."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, airy voice shattered her delusions.

"Don't forget, we'll be starting production on the next two chapters soon."

"..."

Eriri remained silent, as if she hadn't heard anything. After a long while, a faint mutter escaped from her arms, "God, was choosing this career path really the right thing to do?"

"Hahaha..."

Aoyama Nanami stood to the side, chuckling awkwardly. Having assisted them all along, she naturally knew how hard they had been working during this time.

Of course, this hard work cannot compare to the tasks she juggles, such as cleaning, providing auxiliary services, waking up two slugs, acting as a nanny, taking them to school, attending tutoring classes, practicing privately, doing voice acting, and so on, with almost no rest for a month.

After all, not everyone is a superhero...

Without wasting a second with her, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her gaze to Shiina Mashiro, who had been sitting in her seat. "By the way Mashiro, why have you been eating since earlier?"

From the beginning, she didn't interfere in their conversation. After the toast, she focused intently on eating the chicken wings on the table.

Hearing her name called, Shiina Mashiro looked up, blinked her seemingly unfocused eyes, and showed a hint of confusion in her expression.

She glanced at the chicken wing in her hand, seemed to realize something, and held it up, saying, "This is delicious!"

Fearing she wouldn't believe her, she emphasized again, "Really!"

"Oh, really...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a wry smile, utterly helpless against Mashiro's naiveté. "Mashiro is still Mashiro after all..."

"Um?"

Shiina Mashiro.

"No, it's nothing, I was just complimenting you."

"So."

Looking around and seeing that it seemed there was nothing more for her to do, she lowered her head and continued her unfinished task.

"Delicious? Well, it's the Young Master's cooking anyway, how delicious can it be? As long as it doesn't kill anyone..."

Eriri, shaking off her melancholy, sat up straight and listlessly picked up the serving chopsticks, taking food from in front of her and putting it into her bowl.

"..."

"Sawamura-kun?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at her, puzzled, as she froze after finishing her food. She glanced at Sakurakoji Talent with a hint of confusion.

Could the food Talent-kun made really be poisonous? Although it looks and smells delicious, you wouldn't know unless you taste it yourself.

Sakurakoji Talent, sensing the doubt in her eyes, rolled his eyes at her helplessly.

If there weren't so many people around, he would have definitely given her a good slap on her shapely buttocks!

Aoyama Nanami watched all this with a smile, puffing out her chest with pride. As her Young Master's personal maid, she certainly knew what Young Master true culinary skills were like.

Hmph! So what if they're talented? A bunch of country bumpkins!

They only know how to judge people with worldly eyes, now they know how powerful their Young Master is!

Chapter 342 The Return of Parents.

"Delicious, so good!"

Eriri stared blankly at the food in front of her, muttering to herself.

If she hadn't seen him busy in the kitchen for half a day, she would have suspected that he had specially hired a top chef.

"Wow, how come you're such a good cook too? Are you Superman?"

She looked at him with a complicated expression, feeling as if her worldview had been shaken.

They're both Young Master masters and ladies, so why does he have so many skills?

Is this reasonable?

"Real?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha also curiously joined the ranks of diners.

After chewing, she opened her crimson eyes wide and turned her gaze to him in surprise.

"Talent-kun, you..."

Hi, I know, everyone says that.

Sakurakoji Talent, too lazy to listen to these clichéd compliments, casually gestured for the other two to sit down.

"Oh, I see~"

Aoyama Nanami her chin on her hand and said happily.

Even though she knew he was a good cook, she hadn't tasted his food many times.

Even when entertaining guests at the mansion, Sakurakoji Talent would try her best to prevent her from meeting the people there.

Really?

Kato Megumi echoed in unison, as always.

Whoever becomes Talent-kun's wife in the Mirai will surely be very happy.

As soon Kasumigaoka Utaha uttered her praise, everyone's gaze fell on him. Seeing that he had no reaction and seemed not to have heard at all, they all looked away in boredom and disappointment.

Sakurakoji Talent glanced at him, inwardly scoffing. Why would he possibly accept a response that was detrimental to him no matter how he answered?

The group then enjoyed lunch while chatting about their expectations for payment and some anecdotes from the production process, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, Young Master, today is the day your parents are coming back, isn't it?"

Halfway through the meal, Aoyama Nanami suddenly remembered this and asked him about it.

"Huh? You know that?"

He neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Yes! I heard Miss Ashiri mention it these past couple of days!"

She explained the reason.

"That's right, it's tonight, so I'll be going to the airport with Ashiri to pick them up tonight."

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

Because of Sakurakoji Luna's health condition, they usually schedule their long trips to the evening.

If it's absolutely necessary to go out during the day, we'll take precautions against sun exposure and avoid direct sunlight along the way.

However, on cloudy days, it's possible to stay outdoors for a while.

Although the human body is not actually that fragile, and occasional sun exposure won't cause any major problems, she does need to put in more effort than the average person to maintain absolutely beautiful skin.

"Are they Talent-kun's parents?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's interest was piqued. "I remember you said before that they were all overseas for work. Are they coming back today?"

"Oh, it's like this. Because they were worried about me and my sister, they insisted on coming back to visit during our Golden Week."

He was quite helpless about this.

As for her knowing about his family relationships... after working together for so long, she already knew everything.

"So,"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze wandered, and it was unclear what she was thinking. "I wonder what kind of people your parents are... Just like in movies and TV dramas, are they the kind of wealthy patriarchs and matriarchs?"

"Aoyama -kun, do you know?"

"No, I haven't been here long, and I've never met Talent Young Master's parents."

Aoyama Nanami also shook her head; it had only been about two months since she started working here.
