Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

  Chapter 728 The potential of the fire?

   This play is one night.

  By the time An Yilun realized it, it was already six o'clock the next morning.

  With the chirping of sparrows coming from outside the window, the room also lighted up slightly.

  An Yilun was also sitting at the computer desk, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was staring at the screen.

  The monitor on the table was glowing coldly, and the screen was a scene from the game "Clannad".

  【Tomoya: Tomoyo, let's break up, my feelings for you are not love. 】

  【Tomoyo: I see...Thank you for dating a girl like me. No matter what happens in the future, these are my most precious memories... Take care, Tomoya. 】

   "Shut up." An Yilun also took a sharp sniff, clasped his head in both hands, and kept shaking his right leg up and down.

"……how so?"

  He muttered to himself, feeling extremely anxious.

  Obviously he was happily dating Tomoyo one moment, but the protagonist broke up ruthlessly the next moment.

  How can there be such a thing, bastard—! ?

   Didn’t you say that it’s a sweet love? ?

  Why did the plot suddenly become a stomachache! ? ! ?

   "Damn it." An Yilun also scratched his hair frantically, "This shouldn't be like this! Kato~~~~!"

  Until now, he can't forget the look of loss of brilliance in Tomoyo's eyes, and the line that there is nothing more sad than heart-death.

  【Tomoyo: Obviously so sad... I can't cry, it's incredible...】

   Under the background of melancholy music, the sadness in his heart seems to be magnified, and he has a strong resonance with the characters in the game.

  He pressed his chest, only to feel that the position on the left side of the chest was congested, and he felt like he couldn't vomit, but he didn't know where to start.

  It feels like…

   "Like NTR?"

   "Yeah, right, it's like N... it's you—!? Iori, you bastard! Don't just run behind others and speculate!"

   "Hehe~" Iori HASHIMA raised the corners of her lips flirtatiously, "Who is Lunya-san, your expression looks like a victim after being NTR?"

   "Fart!" An Yilun also scolded: "I'm just complaining about the plot of the game! Which eye of yours saw me being NTR?"

   "Hmm~~" Iori HASHIMA looked at his partner meaningfully, and smiled without saying a word.

  An Yilun also didn't know that when he went to buy drinks outside the Xia COMI venue yesterday, HASHIMA Iori had actually been following behind him.

  Originally, HASHIMA Iori just wanted to encourage his partner, but unexpectedly ran into the scene where An Yilun also met Eiriri.

   As far as some of the signs he observed, An Yilun also has an unusual attitude towards Ying Lili, and he should have a more or less favorable impression of Ying Lili.

   As for why he himself refused to admit it, he, an outsider, is not too clear.

  That was either because of inferiority complex, or because of other reasons, but it is meaningless to say these now.

  ‘After all, that Kashiwagi Eri already has his own heart, Tomoya-san. ’ Iori HASHIMA thought nonchalantly.

  If Bo Dao went to sea and heard her brother's heartfelt voice, she would definitely scold him as a scumbag angrily, but unfortunately she didn't know it.

  Ai Lun and HASHIMA Iori also played the game overnight yesterday, and Izumi HASHIMA and Michitome HIDO also watched the game overnight.

not only that.

  They also cried because of the touching plot in the game, produced a lot of tissues in the room, and then ran to take a shower exhausted.

   "Well, let's not talk about other things, Lunye, can you come and help clean up?"

  Hashima Iori joked with a smile: "I won't talk about the things my sister messed up. You can't even let me clean up the paper that your cousin blows her nose, right?"

   "You bastard, don't make Michiru so miserable." An Yilun gave him an angry look, stood up and helped clean up together.

  Hashima Iori asked: "And then? Tomoya-san, where did your game go?"

   "For the sake of Tomoyo's future, the male protagonist chose to sacrifice himself and broke up with her."

   "Oh? This character still has that kind of plot? Could it be that you accidentally went to the BE branch?"

   "Huh? How is that possible! Are you underestimating me, a Galgame expert? I'm definitely going TrueEnd!"

   "Hey~~ That's why you are so depressed?"

   "You want to take care of it? I'm just more involved."

   "Hehe, that's what I said, but it's your choice to go down, right? It's ugly to lose your temper here."

   "It's so noisy, I'm just annoyed!"

  An Yilun also clenched his fists in disbelief, and couldn't help but want to scold Kato as a dog thief for arranging such a plot, ruining his mood early in the morning.

   "So." Iori HASHIMA asked casually: "What do you think about this work, Rinya? Do you find it interesting?"

"this-"

  An Yilun couldn't help being speechless, and didn't know what to say for a while. He folded his hands on his chest, thinking seriously about the wonderfulness of this work.

  In this daily-themed game, where is the magic that can drive him to play without sleep?

  Is it art? yes!

   Is it a script? yes!

   Is it music? yes!

   Is it a show? yes!

   But besides these?

   "Clannad" doesn't have any super-explosion that makes people excited. The plot design focuses on a natural and plain, but it is very catchy—!

  Even though An Yilun had already read the complete script of "Academy Chapter", when he actually played it, he still felt a completely different and novel experience, and shed tears several times.

   It's not that he's making excuses!

   You must know that even Michiru, who has never been interested in Galgame, cried like a cry when watching him play games, which is the first time ever!

   "Strange... where is the place that can impress both otaku and ordinary people?"

  An Yilun also racked his brains to think, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "Ah! Sure enough, it's because of the character design!"

   "Character design...?" HASHIMA Iori tilted her head wonderingly.

   "Yes! It's the character design!" An Yilun also slapped his thigh hard, his tone extremely excited.

  “I felt that way when I was playing. Every character in this work has a soul! People unconsciously care about their stories, so they are invested in it!”

"I see…"

  Iori HASHIMA thought about it for a while, and felt that this was really the case, "Indeed, the characters in the game are very deep, and they feel close to reality."

   "Isn't that right?" An Yilun also rushed forward, talking incessantly.

  "Shiyu-senpai is really good at describing characters. By the time the audience reacts, they have already been manipulated by her unconsciously and fell into the story~

   There is also the original painting of Ying Lili! The combination of the two of them is perfect, it is so exciting! "

   "Is this okay, Lunya?"

  Hashima Iori had a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "Aren't you looking for the shortcomings of Kato-kun? Is it really okay to give such a high evaluation?"

"Well-?"

  An Yilun was also stunned, and gradually came to his senses.

yes!

  He came here with the idea of ​​being picky at first!

  Why did you praise it unconsciously?

  He thought of this and suddenly felt startled, cold sweat broke out suddenly.

  An Yilun also shook his head vigorously, coughing heavily.

   "Hmm, cough, what, I was just praising Shiba-senpai and Eriri, it has nothing to do with Kato..."

   "Oh~? Does Lunya think so?" Iori HASHIMA chuckled lightly, not pointing out his insincere words. "Let's get back to the topic. What do you think of this work?"

  An Yilun also frowned, and pretended to say: "... so far, that's all. I haven't finished the game so I can't answer more specifically, but—"

  He glanced sideways at the computer screen where the game was still on, and slowly spit out the second half of the sentence, "I always feel that their game process is longer than I imagined..."

   "Yes." Iori HASHIMA sighed imperceptibly: "If every character in the game has this kind of space, the content of our works is probably only one-tenth of others."

   "Ugh!" An Yilun was also speechless for a moment.

   "By the way, I have also played the part of Furukawa Nagisa's stage play here? The performance and plot tension of this part are really impeccable. It is indeed the script written by Xia Shizi."

  Hashima Iori's tone contained a bit of emotion.

  He threw all the packed garbage into the trash can, then took out his mobile phone from his trousers pocket, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

   "Also, I remember that Kato-kun and the others are still selling their works on the game platform? Oh, oh, "Clannad" seems to be on the sales list now."

   "...Really? That guy Kato is also baffled. Instead of making a home game console version, he went to release a PC digital version. Isn't that superfluous?"

   "Huh? It seems that someone online has already played the ending."

   "What did you say?" An Yilun's body was also shaken, and he moved up in two or three steps, looking down at the phone.

   This is too fast!

  He, a Galgame expert, hasn't finished the game yet, yet someone has already played the ending?

   What Iori HASHIMA opened was the official website of "TYPE-MOON". In addition to publishing some game-related information, it also thoughtfully provided a message board function.

   Someone just commented on it.

   "I got Miyazawa Yuki Ning's Mitsuyu, does anyone know what this is for? Wait online."

  「The day before yesterday was a bunny, yesterday was a deer, today is you.

  The bunny represents innocence, the deer represents pride, until today I met the best you.

   I really like the line of Ichinose Kotomi~~~~~!

  My eyes are peeing...」

   "After playing Furukawa Nagisa's End, it's too sad to be repeated alone? But the plot in the stage play is great! I, a man, actually cried while playing. This kind of family concept is so warm."

  「I feel that the script of this work is very deep! There are many foreshadowings that I don’t know what they are for.」

  「Xia Shizi is really amazing! She was able to write so many attractive female characters, and even the supporting characters are so vivid, which is impressive!」

  An Yilun also scanned the information on the message board, and found that only a few characters have been played to the end, and there is no such player who has collected all CGs.

   This made him slightly relieved.

  Although my progress is a bit slower than others, the gap should not be too big.

   After all, he only played the game yesterday after setting up the stall, so it's normal to be a little slower than those who started playing immediately after getting it.

  Hashima Iori is not as relaxed as An Yilun, and his focus is more on the level of reality.

  He thought for a while, then switched to Twitter and 2ch to check, there were also a large number of players discussing the work "Clannad".

   Search again for "The Gospel of Eternity and Moment".

  Looking at the official website, Twitter, and 2ch one by one, the deserted atmosphere is so disappointing that it is superfluous.

  By the way, the reason he looks at reactions in this order is because it helps creators with mental hygiene.

   After all, the 2ch forum has always been famous for its smell.

   And "Clannad" has only been released for one night, and it can have the current degree of discussion, which can only show one thing.

  —This game has the potential to be a hit!

  Hashima Iori frowned, and couldn't help but sighed deeply.

  The gap is so large that the two sides are no longer comparable.

  Even the only word of mouth he had hoped for before feels meaningless.

  The strength of the opponent is too strong.

  Not only is his painting skill superb, but his planning ability is also top-notch.

   "Adversaries of this level, can we really compare..."

  Hashima Iori murmured to herself, suddenly regretting letting her sister's temper mess up.

  If his previous attitude could be firmer, Bo Dao should be able to rise as a member of "TYPE-MOON" now and gain a wave of fame in the circle.

  An Yilun also noticed his expression, touched his nose in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile:

   "You mean, you don't need to be so pessimistic, right? Anyway, you have grown up in the process of going to sea, isn't it good?"

   "Grow...?"

  Hashima Iori narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "Well, she has indeed graduated from "Little Rhapsody", so that's not wrong."

   "Huh? I'm talking about painting skills? Anyway, our game is also the first time to be an art lead writer when going overseas. Isn't that very meaningful?"

   "Hmm, Lunye, do you think so?"

   "Is there anything wrong? Anyway, your purpose is to let Chuhai go further on the path of creators, right?"

   "Hey, from my point of view, Chukai's painting skills are indeed much better than those in COMI last winter, but that's because of "TYPE-MOON"...or maybe it's because of Kato-kun, right? "

   "Huh?" An Yilun was also startled: "Hey, what do you mean?"

   "It means literally." Iori HASHIMA shrugged her shoulders. "At least in the past six months, I haven't seen any significant improvement from Kazumi. If she continues like this, she won't be able to win Eri Kashiwagi."

   "Iori...!" An Yilun couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, "What exactly are you trying to express by saying that??"

   "Don't be nervous, Lunya."

  Hashima Iori shook her head, "I'm just analyzing the facts, nothing else."

  Outside the room, Izumi HASHIMA, who had just returned from the shower, lowered his hand ready to open the door, and drooped his head in frustration.

  …
