Originally.

  But any company will definitely experience tax inspections, and the Japanese tax bureau has always been more tolerant in this regard.

  Even if you don't have an invoice for a certain expenditure, but you want to include this in the company's accounts, then even if you write a note yourself, they will still approve it.

   In short, as long as you don’t really evade taxes, you usually don’t have any problems, so Kato Yusuke is not too worried.

  After all, since the establishment of the studio, he has been operating in a law-abiding manner, and he has nothing to feel guilty about.

   Isn’t your National Tax Office going to check the accounts? I'll just cooperate with you. When the truth finally comes to light, you should return my innocence, right?

   But what people never expected is——

  Not only did he not wait for his grievances to be cleared, but instead he got a written notice asking them to suspend business for inspection.

  Yusuke Kato found it hard to accept, and asked Kazuto Kondo: "Prosecutor Kondo, is there any illegal problem in our studio?"

   Kazuto Kondo said: "It is not clear yet, we still need to investigate."

   "If that's the case, why do we have to go out of business?"

   "Because your company has not been cleared of suspicion, it is obliged to cooperate with our work."

  Yusuke Kato frowned, "Prosecutor Kondo, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but don't you think it's a bit too much to suspend our business based on some groundless rumors?"

  Kondo Kazuto said with a straight face, in a low voice:

   "This has nothing to do with us. We act according to the law. If you have any opinions, you can complain, otherwise you must follow our instructions."

   Kato Yusuke twitched his brows, not knowing how to communicate with this person for a while.

   Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kanoko Hasumi on the side quickly put on a smiling face and said as tactfully as possible:

"Prosecutor Kondo, don't be angry. We will definitely cooperate with the things that should be cooperated, but the sudden closure of our business will have a great impact on our work. Can you please accommodate us and let us work normally while checking what about work?"

   "That can't be done, there is no need to discuss this matter." Kondo Kazuto rebuffed, with a tough attitude.

   "In short, we have given a written notice, and you must suspend business and cooperate with all our inspections, and you will not be able to reopen until the results of the investigation come out."

  Lian saw Kanoko opened her mouth hesitantly, but was stunned to have nothing to say.

  Ryoko Nakano pondered for a moment: "Excuse me, the three prosecutors, I would like to ask, how long will it take for you to finish the inspection?"

   Kondo Kazuto looked at her in a blink of an eye, paused and said:

   "This is not clear at the moment. We can only say as soon as possible. The specifics depend on the actual situation. The person in charge and the financial officer of your company should pay attention to their mobile phones recently. We will call you before we come to check. Remember to come when the time comes."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he left with his two colleagues.

  …

   same moment.

  In the game department of Sega Corporation.

  Shimamura looked at the photos received on his phone, couldn't help but clenched his fists excitedly, then strode to an office, opened the door and entered.

   "Boss, are you busy? I have good news for you!"

  Matsumoto Jun behind the desk was reading the materials, when suddenly interrupted by him, he raised his head with frowning.

   "I said what's the matter with you kid? You're a big guy and you're still bluffing all day long. Is there too little work for you? It seems that you have to add more burdens."

"Hey, don't, boss!" Shimamura was in a hurry, scratching his ears and said, "Don't put any more burden on me, I've been staying up all night for several days, if I continue like this, I will die suddenly No."

  Matsumoto Jun was amused by his funny appearance, raised his finger and nodded him a few times, and said earnestly:

   "As far as you talk a lot, we have just joined the new company not long ago, there is no harm in working harder, don't always talk about suffering, tiredness, etc., in case others hear it, it will affect you badly."

  Shimamura nodded hastily, saying yes.

"How can it be? I just want to tell you this, boss. Naturally, it is impossible for others to know. Boss, you finally brought everyone into a big company like Sega. The brothers all know what to do, and they will definitely not give it to you. Shame."

  Matsumoto Jun nodded very helpfully, waved his hand and said: "Okay, we are all from our own family, so there is no need to say these polite words. What good news did you just say?"

   "Yes, yes, yes! Boss, look at this!"

   "Huh? This is..."

   "Boss, do you still remember the previous "TYPE-MOON"? They were asked by the National Taxation Office to close down for inspection, just what happened! "

  Matsumoto Jun looked at the photo on Shimamura's phone and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Huh? What's going on here? They broke the law?"

  Shimamura waved his hands triumphantly, and spoke in a showy tone.

"Boss, you don't know. I suddenly became impulsive a few days ago, and I anonymously reported that brat's tax evasion to the tax bureau. Guess what? They were seized today! It's so good to see the heavens! "

  Matsumoto Jun was taken aback when he heard this. Shimamura had never told him about this before, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, "How do you know they are evading taxes?"

  Shimamura spread his arms and said innocently:

   "I don't know. I just wanted to give it a try and disgust him. Who would have imagined it? They must be evading taxes, otherwise the tax bureau wouldn't have seized them for no reason, would it?"

   As he spoke, he couldn't help grinning gloatingly, and patted his thigh with pleasure.

   "It's fortunate that we left early! Otherwise, if we stay in their company, we might be implicated by this incident!"

  Matsumoto Jun did not comment on this, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get the photos on this phone?"

  Shimamura replied straightforwardly: "When I was fired by that kid, I took on a private job for a while. Someone happened to work at Sumitomo Building, so he sent me the photo."

  He paused here, then continued with a red face.

   "If you want me to say, this is retribution! Let that stinky brat talk so arrogantly all day long, is it okay now? Has it been seized by the tax bureau? It just deserves it hahaha!"

  Looking at his excited performance, Matsumoto Jun knew that he was retaliating, and felt something wrong in his heart, so he said:

  "We are here to ask for money after all, there is no need to make enemies with others just because of impulse. Let the past things go, don't keep entangled in "TYPE-MOON". "

  Shimamura was a little upset when he heard that, thinking that it wasn't you who was pointed at and scolded at that time, so of course you said it easily.

  Even so, he didn't dare to refute the boss face to face, but said vaguely: "...Don't worry, boss, I know these things well."

  Matsumoto Jun nodded, "Well, as long as you have a count. I have to report to Watanabe in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do, go back to work first."

   "Executive Watanabe!?" Shimamura was taken aback, and asked: "Boss, which executive Watanabe are you talking about? Could it be the person in charge of the game development?"

  Matsumoto Jun smiled and asked: "Otherwise? How many Watanabe executives do you think there are in the group?"

   "My God! Boss, you are too good, right?! You can even have a meeting with Watanabe??!"

  Matsumoto Jun sternly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just here to report to work. Specialist Watanabe called me because he happened to be a little interested in our project."

  Shimamura was in awe, and nodded vigorously solemnly, "Understood, then boss, you go first, and I won't bother you!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office quickly, for fear that he would affect Jun Matsumoto's preparations.

   It's not that he reacted exaggeratedly, but that Watanabe's executive has such a status within the group. Whether their project can take off depends entirely on the attitude of the other party.

   Not to mention that he was still counting on Matsumoto Jun to take him to eat and drink, so how could he be slowed down in such a major matter that concerns the future?

  Backing to his work station with excitement, Shimamura didn't know what to do for a while, so he took out the seized photo of "TYPE-MOON" and admired it.

  No way, he is so happy!

  The former enemy was punished for breaking the law, and now the big leaders have shown interest in their projects. Is there anything happier than this?

  Thinking about it, Shimamura couldn't help becoming excited, feeling an urge to do something impatiently.

  So he put down his phone, opened a forum with a computer, registered a small account, and then created a new post to write...

  …

  London, England, in a certain villa.

  Boom—!

   Leonard Spencer thumped the table vigorously and shouted loudly: "Great, this is simply a masterpiece—!"

  Sayuri Sawamura on the side was concentrating on drawing a notebook. Suddenly, she was so frightened by him, the pencil in her hand flicked suddenly, and the offensive hero on the drawing paper successfully disfigured.

   "My dear~?" She raised her head with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

   Leonard Spencer didn't seem to hear her sullenness. Instead of admitting his mistake immediately, he happily turned his upper body and pointed at the laptop in front of him.

   "I mean my uncle's new work! It's the AS chapter of "Clannad"!

   This is definitely the best Galgame I've ever played in my life! Regardless of the script, setting, original painting, or music, they are all amazing!

   Even if you look at the entire history of Galgame games, you can’t find such a comprehensive masterpiece——! "

   "?"

   Sayuri Sawamura blinked ignorantly, forgetting what she was going to say for a while, and it took a while before she understood what her husband was saying.

  She twitched her brow slightly, feeling a little unacceptable.

   "...So what? You are yelling over there for this reason? It even affects people so that they can't even draw their notebooks?"

   "Huh? What is this kind of reason—??" Leonard Spencer stared and raised his voice unconsciously.

   "Sayuri, did you not understand me? This is a masterpiece! You should be more excited!?"

  Sayuri Sawamura gave him a blank look, and replied indifferently:

   "Then I would like to ask, dear, do you know how many times you have repeated the same words in the past few days?

   Also, we went abroad this time to attend the prince’s banquet, but you left him behind and hid here alone to play games. What should I say about you? "

   Leonard Spencer was speechless, coughed a little guilty, and excused himself.

   "Hmm...Although it's true that I was wrong, but then again, dear, don't you also stay here and draw danmei books? This kind of behavior doesn't seem to be much better than mine...?"

  Sayuri Sawamura tilted her head slightly and said:

   "Ah, who told me to be just a wife who doesn't know much about the world? But you are an out-and-out diplomat? Don't you know the importance of work and play?"

   "But, dear, this is no ordinary game, but a masterpiece destined to be recorded in history!

  Especially the plot of Nagisa Furukawa, I even got goosebumps all over my body while playing it!

  Our uncle is simply a genius, to come up with such a wonderful and touching reversal! This is definitely the best game story of the year!

   All in all, its charm is not comparable to ordinary works. Anyway, there is nothing serious about the prince, of course I want to stay at home and play games! "

  Reynard explained generously, as if he didn't feel how unnatural his speech was.

  Sayuri Sawamura gently held her cheek, "So, it seems that many people in the recent rotten girl circle are discussing the plot of Nagisa Furukawa."

   "—Right, right!?"

   Leonard Spencer said repeatedly:

  "That's why I said that this plot is very well written! Although some people on the Internet were angry about the BE ending of this character, and even suffered a lot of trauma, but this is what makes people feel profound!

  Of course, it’s not that I can’t understand their feelings. After all, it took more than ten hours to play the game to such a tragic ending, and any player would feel angry.

  However, the subtlety of this work lies in this—!

   Only those players with enough patience can continue to play under pressure after being hit, and thus usher in the true ending of the game, gaining an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!

   I have to say, our uncle really knows how to handle the psychology of players! "

   When it comes to emotional excitement, Leonard Spencer's entire face turns red, showing a state of high excitement.

   "..."

  Sayuri Sawamura looked at her husband, feeling speechless for a while.

  Although she also understands that what Leonard Spencer said is basically true, the problem is—

  "...Even so, you don't need to call Kato-kun every time you call him a young master, right? Aren't you always wary of others?"

   Leonard Spencer was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and immediately gave a straightforward answer.

   "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Brother Kato has proven his excellence, and he also loves Eriri very much. As a father, I must support them of course!"

  Sayuri Sawamura frowned, "...you are the ultimate indiscriminate public and private person. Can you give your daughter to another man just because of a game?"

   "Huh? My dear, you really don't understand what I mean?" Leonard Spencer said plausibly.

   "The so-called masterpiece is not something that can be easily made with just a goal.

  Even if you find those super-famous companies, super-luxury production staff, plus abundant funds and production cycle, it doesn't mean that you will be successful.

  Brother Kato is still so young, and he will definitely make better things in the future. It can be said that the future is limitless!

  I have a premonition that he will become a super producer like Akane Benizaka in the future. It's better to say...he is already in a mess now! "

  Sayuri Sawamura massaged her temples, and sighed involuntarily.

  Although she has long understood that her husband is a hopeless otaku, she still feels helpless at this moment.

  She waved her hand, and suddenly lost the mood to continue chatting with Leonard Spencer, and instead swiped SNS with her mobile phone.

   I don’t know if it’s because I talked about related topics, but the content pushed on the Internet is all about "Clannad".

  As Leonard Spencer said just now, the story of Nagisa Furukawa sparked a debate on the Internet between praise and criticism.

  Evaluate it as people who are god-reversed, people who agree with the bold style of the production team, people who criticize the content of the game for deliberate sensationalism, single pushers of specific characters, plot supremacists, and other sporadic forces, who are arguing with each other.

  Sayuri Sawamura was speechless, but also secretly shocked by the current popularity of "Clannad".

   Don’t look at how fierce the noise is on the Internet, but this is actually adding heat to the game in a disguised form. Adding popularity to the game is equivalent to sending money to the game company behind it.

  According to the news announced by "TYPE-MOON" on its official Twitter, the game disc of "Clannad" is currently sold out, and the orders are even queued until the beginning of next year!

   On the Steam platform, "Clannad" also topped the game download sales list in Japan!

  Sayuri Sawamura has mixed feelings about this. She is happy to see her daughter's development is smooth sailing, but also worried that the uncle will become less controllable in the future.

   At this moment, a message was suddenly pushed to her on Twitter——

   "Breaking the news, a well-known cartoonist is suspected of breaking the law!" Now the studio has been sealed! "
