"Why does this little bastard have a head of garlic on its back? Garlic-head bastard, it's quite cute."
"Seele likes this one. Brother said this is called Eevee, and it can evolve into a very cute Fairy Eevee later on~"
"This Groudon looks too fierce. How about I color it pink?" Kaguya asked.
"..."
Yǔ wrote the proposal while listening to the discussion of the three girls not far away.
At first, it was fine; Yǔ listened with interest, nodding occasionally. But gradually, the girls' thoughts went beyond his text descriptions and began to actively diverge, especially after hearing Kaguya's pink Groudon. His typing hand instantly trembled, and what was originally a coherent sentence directly turned into a string of garbled characters.
If Groudon and the fat fish both turned pink, then when they fight later…
Tsk, the scene was too beautiful for him to look at!!
However, in that case, would Rayquaza hit them more lightly when he beat them up?
It was a while before he noticed his own rambling thoughts. He quickly shook his head to clear his mind. Oh no, he had gotten himself caught up in it too. Focus, focus!
Although their discussions became increasingly outrageous, Yǔ didn't actually go to stop them. They didn't have his actual impression of the many pokemon. He hoped that their active imaginations could bring more unexpected surprises to this game.
He couldn't just slack off like that company in his previous life that held the IP, right?
Cocolia only gave them half a month, and then they would also need to go with her to Anti-Entropy Headquarters in America. So, their return flight tickets were naturally canceled; they couldn't waste time on travel. They also took a short long holiday from school. The winter break wasn't too long, and they probably wouldn't have time to go back the week before school started.
After staying for a week, the once bustling orphanage returned to its daily routine. The children trained when they needed to, and went to school when they needed to. Except for noon and evening, it was hard to hear laughter in the courtyard anymore.
Cocolia had already returned to Anti-Entropy Headquarters early. As the second-in-command of the group, a pile of work was waiting for her to handle. The children who had returned for the New Year also went back to their respective places.
Yǔ was also happy for the quiet. Without the disturbance of others, he could dedicate more energy each day to perfecting his proposal. For the birth of that thing, he had to do everything to the best of his ability!
Every day, besides eating, he worked. When he was tired, he would lie on Sister Aponia's lap pillow to rest for a while. When he was sleepy, he would pick any one of Seele, Bronya, or Kaguya to hug and sleep with. His dedication to work to the point of forgetting food and sleep made Brother Kalpas once think that Yǔ had gone mad and had a problem with his brain. He would occasionally come over to check on him, bringing his homemade snacks.
At first, Seele and the other two were worried about Yǔ's health, but when Bronya and Kaguya saw the prototype of Yǔ's proposal, it directly left them speechless.
This, this kind of thing…
Bronya stood behind Yǔ, looking at his fully concentrated figure, her eyes filled with complexity.
She once thought that writing the hollow knight proposal so quickly was already unmatched, but now she realized that for her lover, it was merely the tip of the iceberg.
She really wanted to pry open his head and see what he was thinking inside…
Startled by her own terrifying thought, she then looked left and right like a thief. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Bronya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Kaguya's expression was not much better than Bronya's. She was quite aware of how powerful this proposal would be if it were truly implemented, especially when combined with ar glasses.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could fundamentally change the current landscape of gaming!
Is this my own Husband? He's truly terrifying.
Only Seele was full of questions. The three of them originally planned to come together to persuade Brother to get some good rest, but after Brother threw a document at them, Sister Bronya and Sister Kaguya, who finished reading it, both fell silent, completely forgetting to persuade Brother to rest.
Anyway, it's less than a week away. Let them be tired. At worst, they'll stay up with him.
Finally, the time came to the night before heading to Anti-Entropy Headquarters. The meeting would be held the day after tomorrow. Yǔ finally stopped working at this point, looking at the PPT Hatsune had prepared, nodding with satisfaction.
Yǔ adopted some quite innovative parts from the character illustrations Seele and the others colored, but the overly innovative parts were still discarded by him. They weren't thrown away; they could be put in the art book later for everyone's amusement.
In this plan, he had written down everything that could be written and seen as completely as possible, even mentioning the operating methods.
Just making this plan consumed no less effort than the workload of making two or three to the moon games.
Lying on the chair, fatigue accompanied by inner comfort washed over him. He stretched lazily, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and slowly stood up.
It's late again.
He was clearly tired, but too excited to sleep.
On the bed, Kaguya and Bronya were already lying down. Without the Yǔ-brand pillow, the two could only hug each other and seemed to be sleeping soundly. Only Seele was lying face down on the table beside him. Being a light sleeper, she immediately opened her eyes and propped herself up when she heard the sound.
"Brother?"
Her voice was a little groggy. Seele rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking dazedly at Brother who had stood up beside her.
"Done..."
She wanted to stand up, but sleeping in that position had made her legs a little sore and numb. As soon as she stood up, she fell into Brother's arms.
"Be careful."
Stroking Seele's little head, Yǔ smiled and hugged the giggling Seele.
Startled like that, Seele immediately became a little more alert. She leaned on Brother's body to steady herself for a moment, and then looked at him and said, "Are you done being busy, Brother?"
"Yeah, almost. Thanks to your help, Seele~"
"Seele didn't do much. Sister Bronya and Sister Kaguya are much more amazing than Seele."
Rubbing against Brother's chest, feeling the warmth that enveloped her, Seele felt a little sleepy again.
"You are all very important to me."
"..."
He lowered his head, wanting to kiss Seele, but saw her eyes slowly closing. He couldn't help but chuckle. After lightly kissing Seele's forehead, he carefully held Seele and lay on the bed, kicking off his slippers.
He had already washed up and changed into pajamas before, so there was no need to bother again now.
Perhaps the movement of lying down was a bit big, Kaguya was woken up and opened her somewhat blurry eyes.
She turned her head and saw Yu's profile, then noticed that she was holding Bronya. Without thinking, she immediately let go of her arms, turned around, and hugged her Husband. The familiar scent enveloped her, and Kaguya immediately showed a comfortable expression.
Having lost her pillow, Bronya frowned in her sleep. Her hand gently fumbled a few times, and finally, holding the blanket, she fell back into a deep sleep.
The next day, Bronya, who had slept the earliest, was the first to open her eyes. She rubbed the tears that had squeezed out from the corners of her eyes from yawning and threw the blanket she was holding to the side.
It's dawn, time to help Yu bring breakfast...
However, as soon as she sat up, she saw the scene around her.
Seele and Kaguya were each held by Yǔ on one side, the three of them sleeping soundly together.
?
Looking at the blanket she had thrown to the side, and then at the comfortable way Kaguya and Seele were leaning on Yǔ, Bronya felt her fists clench.
...
"Sister Bronya, what's wrong?"
Sitting on the private jet arranged by Cocolia to pick them up, Seele looked at the somewhat unhappy Sister Bronya with confusion.
"Nothing."
Could she say it was because she felt left out and was unhappy? Saying such a thing in front of Seele as a Sister would be too embarrassing.
"Shh~"
At this moment, Kaguya gently shushed them, indicating they should be quieter.
The private jet had beds for resting. Using the fatigue accumulated over the past few days, Yǔ quickly fell asleep in Kaguya's arms after taking motion sickness medicine. Naturally, his rest couldn't be disturbed.
Seele and Bronya understood her meaning and immediately closed their mouths, looking at her gentle face with envy.
They missed the chance; Kaguya got there first.
A few hours later, the plane landed. The special car arranged by Anti-Entropy Headquarters was waiting for them right where they disembarked. Besides the driver, there was also a young girl with short two-tone hair (pink on the left, purple on the right), wearing neutral clothing, and with shark teeth.
She sat in the passenger seat, looking displeased, and used her heterochromatic eyes (blue on the left, gold on the right) to look at Yǔ, who was surrounded by three cute girls.
This scoundrel, still the same.
Sin Mal, that was the girl's name. Like Yǔ, Seele, and the others, she was a child who grew up together in the orphanage.
She had come to the orphanage even earlier than Bronya, but due to her personality, being arrogant and liking to show off, it was difficult for her to get along with others.
She was jealous of Yǔ, who could be the center of the children, jealous of Seele, who could follow behind Yǔ, but what annoyed her the most was Bronya.
She was clearly the last one to arrive, but she clung to Yǔ like a stubborn plaster, and even in a short time, their relationship became better than hers with Yu.
Most importantly, that attitude of looking down on everyone...
(Bronya: Don't make things awkward, I was just expressionless back then, I didn't look down on people!)
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she tried to ambush Bronya but was discovered. When they fought, she was directly beaten up, which completely broke down her defenses as a child.
By the time she graduated from junior high, Sin had already finished high school knowledge early and chose to follow Cocoonia, starting to help her handle Anti-Entropy's work, and also leaving the orphanage, this place of sadness.
Today, she heard that Yǔ and a few others were coming. She hadn't even gone back for the New Year and originally didn't want to come, but seeing the way the little girls fighting to pick them up were about to start a fight, she inexplicably felt annoyed and simply took over the task.
"Sin?!"
Getting into the car, the observant Seele quickly noticed the person in the passenger seat and immediately said in surprise.
"Huh?!"
Seele's voice also made Bronya and Yǔ look up, looking in surprise at the girl in the passenger seat, who was holding her arms and looked quite impatient.
"Long time no see, Sin."
Yǔ and Sin had always had a good relationship, so he immediately waved with a smile.
Although this girl seemed proud and arrogant and had a sharp tongue, as long as you went along with her wishes, she was actually quite easy to talk to, and she was very obedient to Cocoonia. She was a rather cute child.
"Mm."
As the few friends she acknowledged in her heart, Seele and Yǔ, Sin nodded at them.
"Long time no see."
Bronya also greeted her, but after Sin glanced at her, she immediately snorted and turned her head, making Bronya, who had raised her hand, feel completely awkward and look at Yǔ beside her with some grievance.
Through the rearview mirror, Sin also saw this scene and immediately let out a disdainful chuckle.
Has Bronya fallen so low that she needs Yu to comfort her for even this kind of provocation? Really...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the scene in the mirror. Sin's eyes widened in astonishment.
She saw Yu stroke Bronya's head, then lower his head and kiss her on the mouth. Seeing how skilled he was, it was clear this had happened many times before.
No, she only hadn't gone back for a year, how did things become so incomprehensible??
Moreover, how could it be Bronya? When it comes to liking Yu, it's clearly Seele who...
Just then, something even more incomprehensible happened to her.
Seeing Brother kiss Sister, Seele also nestled up to Brother like she was acting spoiled, and then, under Sin's disbelieving expression, the two kissed.
???
Kaguya was directly ignored by her. Not being from the orphanage, there was no need for her attention. She looked at everything in front of her with a bewildered expression, and the philosophical three questions suddenly popped into her mind.
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
Forget Seele, even Bronya?
Together? They aren't resisting?!! Especially with Bronya's proud personality?!
My head is so itchy, I feel like I'm growing a brain.
Sin expressed her inability to understand. She tried to imagine if she had a lover and her lover kissed someone else in front of her...
Oh, she would definitely put a few holes in her lover with a gun, she swore.
After bringing the four people to Anti-Entropy's most luxurious reception area, the driver left with Sin, who was still unable to figure things out.
Due to the time difference, it was still morning here. With no plans to go shopping, the four of them returned to their rooms after eating a simple meal.
They checked the PPT, played cards with a strip penalty for a while, and after everyone had nothing left, they went to soak in the large private bath in the suite to relax their minds, enjoyed the girls' special massages, and then lay on the bed to fall asleep together.
Early the next morning, the group arrived at Anti-Entropy Headquarters. The meeting was about to begin.
