How Could One More Genius Hurt in an Omni-Anime World?

I wouldn't say I was shy, but my feelings were complicated.

"Oh right, Ms. Hikawa Hina from PP is Ms. Sayo's younger sister, right?"

"Wow, you really know a lot about this..."

"After all, I'm a fan of all of you! This is nothing!"

He smiled briefly, then switched to serious mode, placed a finger to his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked her in a deep voice, "When does PP's contract expire?"

The group was stunned by his sudden change in demeanor, staring incredulously at the serious, composed, and sharp aura he exuded after putting away his jokes, a quality formed by the corners of his eyes, his movements, his voice, his gaze, and his expression.

This abrupt change seemed to make the already quiet air here feel heavier, and they unconsciously reduced the range of their movements.

Only now have they experienced the feeling that should belong to the "company president" from each other.

Imai Risa gasped, her small, rosy lips agape. This was Miss Ogura's true appearance? No wonder she's such a talented woman, starting her own business at such a young age; she's truly extraordinary...

"... I think it's been less than a year."

Hikawa Sayo swallowed a small sip of saliva and answered cautiously.

The contract period for new artists is usually three or five years, as Hikawa Hina had told her.

"I see..."

Ogura Asahi's eyes darted around, and he tapped his fingers on the table, briefly considering a solution.

It was simpler than he had imagined. If it had taken five years, it would have required more effort, but three years was quite easy to solve.

Avenx could probably handle a little bribery and coercion; he doesn't have the patience to wait a year.

They don't even need to exchange many resources; the intimidation from this side alone is enough to terrify the other side.

Without a wildly popular idol group and with the animosity between them and the industry leader, anyone would know what to choose: offer some compensation, since there's only a short contract period left anyway.

A company like that, with no conscience, wouldn't feel ashamed even if the other party bore all the losses.

"I understand. If PP and the others are really willing, I'll take care of the contract issue."

"Real?!"

Hikawa Sayo was surprised; could this be resolved so easily?

Although as the older sister, she was very happy about this news...

Hehe~

Without going into detail, he said to the others, "Of course, those bands I mentioned earlier, if they want to join, I'd welcome them anytime!"

The conversation with R Group lasted until after 2 p. m., just as we were about to leave the coffee shop.

"Oh, right! Miss Ogura!"

Imai Risa pointed to the company name on the contract and asked curiously, "Does this name have any meaning?"

He glanced at the spot she was pointing to and couldn't help but smile, "Because I hope that all the Mirai members here can walk together, moving towards their dreams, and letting their ideals and themselves bloom in the world like Cherry Blossom Rain in a shower."

The place she was pointing to clearly displayed the name "[Sakura Rain]" before the company name's suffix.

After leaving the studio building, the members of R Group declined his offer to drive them home, saying they wanted to see the area around their Mirai workplace and show Minato Yukina the way.

Because he had wasted too much time here, he quickly returned to his apartment and met Kitagawa Marin downstairs, as he had arranged to meet her beforehand.

After accepting her praise and excited gestures as usual, I had her put on the Cosplay Costume that had been made for her in the room.

"Sakurakoji-kun ~ Did I... become Shizuku?"

After changing and getting ready, she rested her slender, nail-painted fingers on her lips, tears welling in her eyes, and slumped onto the floor, gazing at him with a pitiful expression that subconsciously stirred his heart.

I kind of want to treat her the way Kuroe Shizuku was treated in the game...

Sure enough, my clothing skills are unmatched!

She perfectly captured the essence of her character in the game, despite her original image being more of a sexy girl!

He set up his camera and started snapping photos of her from every angle. "Of course! Who do you think made this dress?"

Night.

After finishing his "harassment" of Kitagawa Marin, having satisfied his visual cravings, and incidentally being forced to take advantage of her a little, he returned to his mansion.

My parents and partner are all here; it wouldn't be right for us to stay in the apartment all the time.

"I'm back!"

Driving back here, crossing the small entryway, and after being shown the location of his parents by the maid, he hummed a tune and skipped as he pushed open the living room door, calling out in a lazy and ethereal voice.

Having resolved the major issue of Roselia, he was naturally in a very good mood!

At least, they should be able to sign AG and PP without much trouble!

"Oh, welcome back, Playboy!"

Upon hearing that unfamiliar yet familiar, yet not exactly something he wanted to hear, mocking and languid female voice, his gently swaying body came to an abrupt halt, and his expression and movements froze completely.

His body, which was originally in the air, crashed heavily to the ground like a hard object, swaying comically back and forth and side to side, making people laugh, but he eventually regained his balance.

He opened his bloodshot eyes with trembling eyelids, and like a robot, he slowly turned his neck toward the sofa where the guests were sitting.

There, besides the family he had seen in the past two days, was a pretty girl who looked exactly like his sister and father—with purplish-black hair, iridescent purple eyes, and even the same Ahoge). If she could still be called a girl at that age.

He casually relaxed his muscles, his gaze wandering aimlessly between the ceiling, walls, and chandelier, and said in a feigned nonchalance, "Oh, it's Auntie~"

"Yo hello~ Long time no see!"

Chapter 364 You, go cook me two dishes.

The woman in front of him, dressed in a gothic dark-toned casual dress, was none other than his father's half-aunt and his mother's best friend of over twenty years— Okura Rina.

Incidentally, he is also the current head and president of the major Okura Family.

As the head of a world-class conglomerate, her status is comparable to that of Tsurumaki Kokoro's father.

Even the former head of the family Okura Nikkin, setting aside his status and seniority, is not as powerful or influential as her now.

Logically speaking, having such an aunt should make him very proud and clingy.

The problem is—she's a brother-obsessed person.

It's not the kind of brother complex like Ashiri's, but the kind of love like Kasugano Sora's.

The object of his brother complex is not Okura Iyo, but... his own father.

She fell in love with someone because she was touched by his pure heart and his Hero Saves the Damsel from danger when she was young, only to find out that he was her second brother or something... Tsk tsk tsk, let's mourn for her for a second.

In other words, her own mother is not only her best friend, but also a rival who stole the man she likes—this complicated relationship is enough to make one's stomach ache just thinking about it.

If it were Ashiri, it would be fine, since she looks so good that people might even doubt whether she is her father and aunt's child, but he is different.

Having inherited more of his mother's physical features and mixed with his father's, he was like a product that constantly reminded her of her failed love, leaving her with rather complicated feelings.

It's a mixture of infatuation, envy, jealousy, regret, friendship, respect, hostility, and hatred... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the most complex girl's heart in the world.

As a result, he was often teased and pranked by her—although, to him, they were all harmless things.

Fortunately, because of his tragic fate and outstanding talent, although she didn't particularly like his appearance, she still liked him as a person... I really don't know whether I should be grateful for that.

He stole a glance at the powerful aura behind the sofa, which was actually that of a mischievous "girl" who loved to act spoiled and play pranks, and wondered why she had come here today.

What? Knowing your father was back, you couldn't bear the loneliness and came to visit right after finishing up some business at the company?

It must be said, he guessed very accurately.

Because of Golden Week, Okura Rina couldn't make it over on the first day. She was only able to come here after Okura Iyo made her finish dealing with the matters that required her signature.

The remaining work was handed over to Okura Iyo at headquarters.

"What is 'Ya hello'?"

Although he greeted the other person seemingly warmly, the other person didn't seem to appreciate it and sharply criticized him. "Where did you learn all these strange words? The internet? Or your recent job?"

"Eh~"

He slumped over, leaned forward, his arms hanging limply as he listlessly stared at her.

You used to be a shut-in girl with severe internet addiction yourself, how dare you say that about me...?

[Note: Risana and Luna met through an online game. Although they chatted happily online at first, they both fell silent and didn't know how to start a conversation when they met in person. Both were initially high-level players in the online game (mainly because they had money to spend on in-game purchases), and each had their own guild. Risana bought all five EX-Curry Sticks in the entire server. Her former in-game name was "Brother Complex Est," and her nickname in another game was "Great God Ultimate Brother Complex." Her email name was: "Brother and Sister Marriage Legal."]

Well, he was helpless against someone whose power, status, and seniority were all higher than his own.

"What a lazy posture! Where did your manners and upbringing go? Hey~ listen to my command, stand at attention!"

Okura Rina's face was also indifferent, as if she found it amusing, and she gave orders.

He reluctantly obeyed her command and resumed his standing posture.

The parents, Shiina Mahiru, Ashiri, and Hoshino Ai, who were sitting next to the sofa, all watched this scene with either wry smiles or awkwardness.

Although her strength, aura, talent, and looks don't match her appearance, she's only about the same height as her mother, making her look like a little girl...

"Alright! Now go and cook me two dishes!"

She waved her finger, issuing the next instruction.

"Huh? So suddenly?"

He was stunned.

"What do you mean suddenly? I rushed over right after get off work, I didn't even have time for dinner. Hurry up, hurry up~ Do you want me to starve to death?"

She spoke in that deep voice, which she had used since her youth—a voice that was hard to describe as either lacking motivation or calm and collected—half willful and half matter-of-fact.

"I think you'd prefer your father's cooking to mine, wouldn't you?"

He wanted to put up a fight.

That's correct...

Her voice trailed off, and she coughed lightly, her cheeks slightly flushed, "But seeing you, I suddenly wanted you to do it."

"Uh... what is this? Bullying?"

"Eh~ or what do you mean?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure in her expression. "You can make it for Brother Iyo, but not for me? I'm going to make things difficult for you, okay? Really?"

"..."

He sighed, at a loss for what to do with her still-youthful (and willful) personality. "Even if you say you're going to make things difficult for me, I don't need to trouble you at all right now..."

"Well, it's alright, since you've come all this way, it's no trouble to make it for you. Just a moment~"

Before he could even sit down, he was forced to turn around and head to the kitchen.

In any case, offending a powerful and vengeful little woman is not a wise thing to do.

Others might just talk the talk, but she's actually capable of doing it. Even now, she's still a young lady who will use her power arbitrarily for personal gain.

Furthermore, what's even more troublesome is that, like her mother and herself, she has a twisted personality that "enjoys seeing the troubled expression on the faces of those she likes."

Not to mention him, she often teases and argues with her own parents as well (although she almost never wins against Luna).

Of course, even with this personality, she is still an outstanding leader.

As usual, she is a genius who learns everything quickly and exceptionally well. In addition, having witnessed the dark struggles for power and wealth within her clan since childhood, she has developed a special skill—the ability to see through other people's true thoughts hidden beneath their acting.

No matter how deeply someone hides their malice or how optimistic and cheerful they appear to the outside world, she can instantly see through their true colors.

Unlike Tsurumaki Kokoro's passive sense of malice, hers is a completely unreasonable, upgraded version of the skill!

Therefore, few people are better than her at recognizing talent and assigning tasks appropriately, which is an important reason why she has been able to lead the group to continue to grow.

So you guys are truly perverted, and truly outrageous...

After he left the living room, Okura Rina said to the couple, "Wasn't this a bit too straightforward? You didn't even try to ask for anything in return. Or has your mindset changed along with your improved health?"

"Haha... maybe so."

She shifted her gaze to Shiina Mahiru and Hoshino Ai, instantly making the two of them feel extremely uneasy and anxious.

In the past two days, they have roughly learned about the composition of the people here, and they have also realized just how extraordinary their lover's family is.

In particular, the young woman in front of them, who looked about the same age as them, was actually the president of that behemoth family... They never would have imagined that!
