370. Could Some Big Shot Promote My Novel in the "Looking for Something to Read" Forum? I've Been Silenced Three Times

Now we finally get to the highlight of this live broadcast.

Information about the new project will be revealed to the world for the first time.

Shuya disliked this anime, but unlike the previous one, he wasn't unwilling to speak up.

He actually quite liked the female protagonist in the anime; what he disliked was the formula the anime pioneered.

And he wasn't really angry about anything.

My banter with Inoue Hikoo just now was partly for the sake of the show, and partly to save the day.

Otherwise, given the anime's reputation, the Danmaku would be unwatchable.

"Finally finished introducing that lousy animation."

After Shuya finished speaking, the Danmaku with agreement.

"So, what's next?"

Hyakka paused, then exclaimed excitedly, "A new project!"

Hanazawa Sakura clapped her hands at the opportune moment, and the literati also clapped in response.

The Danmaku with "888888".

Hyakka Jiang said, "This new project is really quite sudden."

Shuya nodded. "That's right, I was a little surprised too."

Hanazawa Sakura laughed and said, "That day, Hiko-chan suddenly had a new idea."

"So the president and Shu-chan hadn't heard of this before?"

Hyakka knew the truth, but she pretended to be unaware.

She posed the question, "So, what kind of animation will the new project be? It won't be one of those art-house films that make you feel uncomfortable, will it?"

She was reading from the script.

Shuya shook his head. "Don't worry, I've read the outline and the scripts for the first few episodes. This time it's definitely not the artsy type. It won't make anyone feel uncomfortable."

Hanazawa Sakura: "Hmm, speaking of which, there's actually some specific information today... Scholar, please bring that up."

A scholar-official handed over a roll of posters.

"What's this?"

Hyakka asked in a curious tone.

"Tap tap!"

Hanazawa Sakura spoke the onomatopoeic words and pulled up the poster:

"The world's first publicly revealed key visual for the new project!"

Shuya and Hyakka clapped.

The camera zooms in on the poster.

In the center of the poster is the male protagonist, dressed in cool armor, surrounded by female protagonists in armor.

Behind the male protagonist are two women: his sister and her best friend.

The background is a blue sky with white clouds.

At this very moment, the Danmaku is filled with predictions and discussions about which girl will die first.

Hyakka Jiang skillfully puffed out her cheeks and acted cute for the camera. "So, no one will die this time!"

The Danmaku "So cute!" and "awsl!"

Shuya smiled wryly, "It seems no one believes me. After all, I have too many past offenses."

He didn't explain, but instead said, "To be honest, there's not much information available to the public right now, and we haven't even decided on a name yet."

They chatted about the main visual, discussed which female lead they liked best, and then the conversation drifted to Shuya's preferences regarding women. He casually brushed it off and ended the topic.

"Following the main visual, we will now explain a few keywords that can be made public."

Shuya took the plastic board handed to him by the scholar-official. It had the numbers 1234 written on it, with a sticker behind each number covering the words.

"First of all, it's the first one."

Shuya finished speaking, Hanazawa Sakura and Hyakka both showed expectant expressions.

Chapter 388, page 370: Could someone please help me promote this in the book-starved section? I've been banned from commenting three times already.

Shuya peeled off the first sticker.

"Um... the academy."

"The academy... it's pretty ordinary."

Hyakka Sauce.

Hanazawa Sakura teased, "But this academy isn't your average academy."

"Huh? Does the president know something?"

The Hyakka are sweet and authentic.

Hanazawa Sakura, of course, wouldn't give away any spoilers. She mysteriously said, "It's a secret."

Hyakka sighed regretfully, following the script.

Shuya said, "While I can't reveal the details now, I can tell you that this is a concept that will definitely be very popular."

Hyakka looked at her with disbelief. "Huh? Is it really okay for you to make such a boast?"

You'll find out then.

Shuya read along with the script:

"Okay, next up is this..." He peeled off the second sticker. "Battle."

Hyakka, in affected passion, shouted, "Fight!"

"Yes, this work features intense battle scenes."

Shuya said, "I just saw a bit of the finished product. The enthusiasm of the literati is beyond my imagination. It seems they are also fed up with my dad's garbage animation."

"I think so too. It completely exceeded my expectations. It's practically the quality of a theatrical release! The current season's garbage, while the animation is good, can't compare at all."

Hyakka completely agreed.

"Shu-chan, Hyakka -chan, you two just said it out loud, like 'garbage' and stuff."

""Um?""

Shuya and Hyakka looked at Hanazawa Sakura with bewildered expressions.

The Danmaku swept across a vast grassland.

By the way, this isn't a script; it's just my honest opinion.

Inoue Hikoo stared at Shuya, thinking about how to get revenge on him.

Shuya didn't take it seriously. "In short, everyone can look forward to the battles."

Hyakka nodded vigorously. "That's it!"

"So... and then this!"

Shuya peels off the third sticker. "Harem!"

"It's a harem anime... I remember Director Inoue has done a harem anime before?"

Hyakka sighed.

Hanazawa Sakura laughed, "That's right, in the end, everyone died tragically."

The Danmaku became very well-mannered and united; they were clearly all victims.

Shuya emphasized, "No one will die this time! No one will die! No one will die! I'll say it three times!"

Hanazawa Sakura smiled at Shuya, "Speaking of which, kids Shu-chan's age should like this kind of thing the most, right? Speaking of which... has Shu-chan liked any girl lately?"

As expected of the club president! She easily asked the question we dared not ask!

Hyakka -chan looked at Hanazawa Sakura with reverence.

Shuya fell silent.

At this moment, Yukino, Mai, Motoko, Kirino Yuigahama Ayase, and other girls who were listening to the live broadcast as background music all turned to look at Shuya on the screen.

They might not all fall in love with Shuya, but they're still very interested in how he'll answer.

Shuya paused for a few seconds, then smiled nonchalantly, "Although there are many nice girls around me, my favorite is still my mother!"

He put on a full performance, revealing a slightly embarrassed, obedient son-like smile.

"Ah! Shu-chan is so cute! Mommy loves you the most too!"

Hanazawa Sakura pounced on Shuya.

Hyakka slapped the sofa. "That answer is so cunning! So cunning!"

The Danmaku erupted into a fierce partisan battle, complete with screams from "mommy fans."

Shu, who was being hugged by Hanazawa Sakura and had his back to the camera Shuya, breathed a sigh of relief and felt proud of his quick reflexes.

Just then, Hanazawa Sakura's cheerful voice rang in his ear. "Son, if you hesitate any longer, the insurance I bought for you might come in handy."

Holy crap, you actually bought it?! When did that happen?!

Shuya was stunned for a moment.

Hanazawa Sakura had already let go of him and returned to her seat.

Her expression remained unchanged, still bearing a gentle and beautiful smile.

Shuya showed no unusual reaction, maintaining a natural demeanor thanks to his strong self-control.

He said, "This is the last one."

He peeled off the last sticker: "Mecha".

"Everyone saw the poster just now, so you should know that the main characters are all wearing mecha."

Shuya said to the camera, "This anime will feature exciting mecha battles."

He calmly stated, "In addition to the main visual, we've also brought a preview PV today. Please take a look!"

As soon as he reached out, Nico Nico's live broadcast switched to the PV.

Shuya immediately slumped onto the sofa, wiping away his sweat.

Hanazawa Sakura teased, "Son, it's rare to see you so flustered."

Shuya glared at his mother. "Stop doing that! Your son may be strong, but they're not weak either!"

If they swarm him, or take advantage of him when he's exhausted, he'll be in a really messy situation.

Hanazawa Sakura said elegantly, "I'm putting some pressure on you so you won't be too lazy. You know, good medicine tastes bitter."

"Well, Shu-chan and the president, shall we watch the PV?"

Hyakka stepped in to smooth things over.

"You can't spoil Hyakka too much, or he'll be bullied rotten in the future."

Hanazawa Sakura teased her, Hyakka smiled awkwardly, not responding to the president's usual flirting.

The three of them started watching the PV.

The PV begins with a beautiful, expansive campus on an artificial island, offering views of the surrounding azure sea.

The camera zooms out, and a fleeting shot shows the male and female protagonists standing inside the school.

Next came close-ups of the female protagonists and glimpses of their daily lives, giving it a distinctly galgame feel.
