"Bro-bro-bro-bro-bro-bro-bro-Bronya, you, you said A Yu, he, is he practicing some kind of sorcery? Approaching me because he's taken with my beauty, wanting to manipulate my thoughts and turn me into a plaything that only wants to **## and nothing else, woo woo woo..."
Hiding next to Bronya, Kiana said fearfully.
Just now, Bronya thought something big had happened and rushed to Kiana's location, not even caring about the booth.
As a result, she saw this girl, like a slipper-bug, trembling and lying on top of someone else's booth. It took a lot of effort to rescue her.
As soon as she was down, Kiana shrank next to her, as if only this could provide her with a little sense of security.
Bronya, who was already a bit annoyed, subconsciously replied, "Yes, yes, yes, that's right, A Yu is actually a hidden black wizard. He approached you to control you and make you his exclusive toy."
"Wha..."
It was just a joke, but seeing Kiana's increasingly terrified expression made Bronya a bit speechless. She raised her hand and hit Kiana's head with annoyance, saying helplessly, "I'm kidding, there's no sorcery in this world. Yu is someone I grew up with, he's a normal person."
Hearing this, Kiana put her hand on her significantly heaving chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
"So, what exactly did you see?"
Bronya was still completely confused. When she arrived, she only saw the crowd of people gathered, she didn't know anything else. Moreover, the crying had basically stopped during this time, at most, there were only light sobs.
At this, Kiana immediately became excited. She jumped up on the spot, her expression exaggerated and gesturing wildly: "Let me tell you, Bronya..."
Then, she vividly recounted the scenes she had witnessed, especially when she talked about the group of people crying together. That fearful expression couldn't possibly be faked.
"This..."
Kiana's embellished words left Bronya confused as well. She wondered if Yu had gone to study in a rainforest tribe without her and Seele knowing.
But soon, she shook her head and dismissed this ridiculous thought, almost being led astray by Kiana
Interrupting Kiana's continuous narration, Bronya pulled her back to their own booth, as it wouldn't do for no one to be there for too long.
"What the specific situation is, we'll know after asking tonight."
It's just that this absurd popularity filled Bronya's heart with deep unease, and this unease became reality when the exhibition ended today.
In just one afternoon, to the moon climbed to the top spot, even opening up a cliff-like gap with the second place.
...
"Reisen, how was the situation today?"
In a rather classical Japanese-style room, sitting by the tea table was a hime-cut girl wearing a light pink kimono.
In her hands, she held a teacup, the light green tea rippled slightly.
And by her side, knelt a purple-haired girl wearing a suit, looking somewhat uneasy.
"Pr- Princess."
Her movement of drinking tea paused, the girl called Princess looked at Reisen and said, "No need to be afraid, just tell the truth."
Hearing this, Reisen fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Princess, your game has dropped to second place."
...
"Is that so? I understand."
Her voice had no ripple whatsoever, as if she had only heard a trivial matter. In her ruby-like eyes, was reflected Reisen's somewhat dazed face.
So beautiful...
Even though it wasn't the first time she had seen it, Reisen was still captivated by her Princess's appearance. This intricately carved face and this gentle and elegant temperament, like a collection of all Eastern beauty, were astonishing.
Shinomiya Kaguya, this was the Princess's name and the mistress she served. She was always so elegant and noble, even setbacks could not shake her inner heart.
"Is there anything else? Concubine (formal self-reference) is a little tired."
The pleasant, cool voice brought Reisen's thoughts back. She quickly lowered her head, warning herself to look less directly at the Princess's face in the future, and respectfully replied, "No, nothing else."
Saying goodbye again, Reisen then quickly left the room.
The door was tightly closed, the bedroom returned to its cool silence, and Kaguya's ears quietly perked up.
Not until the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door disappeared did she forcefully slam the cup in her hand onto the table with a thud, the splashed tea leaving scattered stains on the expensive table.
She suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth in the room with hurried steps, her expression also turned very ugly. Recalling the efforts she had made before, Kaguya felt even worse, she simply lay on the floor and rolled around, venting her dissatisfaction from her mouth.
"Ahhhhhh! Who exactly is that bastard!!!"
After rolling for a while, she sat up somewhat breathlessly, crawled a few steps to a computer in the corner, knelt there with her butt sticking out, completely ignoring her smooth long hair that was already touching the floor and a pair of small feet wrapped in white socks peeking out from under her skirt.
One of her hands quickly moved the mouse and soon brought up the official interface of the Indie Game Festival, the conspicuous ranking was posted in the most prominent position on the official website.
'Ranking
1.to the moon
2.Eientei
...'
Where did this game pop out from!!!!
She clearly studied all the top ten works yesterday, feeling that she was stable, unexpectedly, just after finishing those tedious flower arrangement and tea ceremony classes today, she heard the bad news from Reisen.
For her, it was indeed bad news. As the young lady Shinomiya Group, if she couldn't achieve something in some area, she could only be used as an excellent 'craftsmanship' for political marriages.
Even if she was indeed, as Reisen called her, a Princess by identity, what difference did that make?
Her own mother was also a Princess, wasn't she married to her Father because of a political marriage? In this country, the royal family and such had long lost their former prestige, becoming tools for capital to gain fame.
Therefore, she must become outstanding in some areas, become valuable, so as not to be sold off like a 'commodity' by her Father, and the increasingly prosperous cultural and entertainment products were the target she was aiming for. She herself was quite fond of playing games and was quite knowledgeable in this area.
To gain fame by participating in this Indie Game Festival, she utilized the resources she could obtain, almost pushing the limits of what was allowed to pile resources into her work. As long as she could get first place, and then show the actual data after selling it, she could apply for more resources, and then gradually grow and strengthen.
She originally felt that it was a sure thing, who would have thought that a wild card would appear halfway through, instantly knocking her dizzy. Without the homepage recommendation that the first place could get, she had no confidence at all that she could produce data that would satisfy those relatives who wouldn't even spit out bones after eating people.
Not believing it, she opened the detailed information of the ranking list. If the gap was small, it wasn't impossible to...
However, after seeing the popularity value that was almost ten times different, Kaguya fell silent, quietly closed the computer, hugged her legs, and huddled in the corner of the room.
Can't win at all, became withdrawn.
