About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

[Congratulations, Mr. Iwai, your light novel has been adapted into an anime. ]

Before I saw this news, I was still thinking hard at one o'clock in the morning about how to pass the light novel project book for this quarter.

When I learned that the above message popped up on my phone, and the username was still my editor-in-chief, Editor Kawataki——

I was so shocked that the pen in my hand broke through the five layers of paper.

Light novels, collections, adaptations, animations.

These words have been lingering in front of my eyes, looking straight at them, clearly and as if they were a lifetime ago.

This reminds me of what my editor said to me when I joined the industry: [In this industry, giving up is the most common and common thing].

I didn't quite understand it at the time.

Don’t we all enter this industry with passion and the vision that the characters in our minds will shine in reality?

However, after six years of continuous writing, I gradually understood the actual meaning of the words responsible editor.

In the past six years, the debut work, the previous work, the previous work, the previous work, and the previous work have all been forgotten by the world.

I completely understand that passion cannot be eaten as food.

That kind of suffering, loneliness, and depression suddenly made me realize that I was nearly thirty years old and was about to officially enter middle age!

In middle school, high school, and university, every time I attended gatherings and listened to these former classmates talk about various topics such as marriage, going abroad, children, promotion, starting a company, etc., I felt a sense of powerlessness and haggard.

There is not only guilt for my parents who are far away in my hometown, but also confusion about my own future in life, and also apologies for each of the characters in my writing.

You are almost thirty years old. What have you been doing all these years? !

Yes, I can only earn enough to support myself by persisting in writing to this day.

A single volume of a light novel is priced between 600 and 800 yen. Taking into account the number of copies published, the royalties you can get are 10%. There are some 8% authors who have not improved all year round, and I happen to be one of them.

Light novel authors do not receive royalties, and all their income comes from royalties from publishing and distribution.

According to the average annual income of young people in Japan, which is about 4.4 million yen, if a light novel author wants to reach this figure, he must sell more than 70,000 light novels a year. Including taxes, the figure is more than 10,000 copies!

For a young writer like me who is somewhere between a rookie and a hard-core writer, the initial publication volume given by the publishing house is about 12,000 copies. The second volume will be reduced to 70-80% of the first volume. The subsequent volumes will all be estimated in units of thousands. It is estimated that if it is completed in only three or four episodes, this number will continue to drop.

Judging by the above standards, it is extremely difficult for a light novel to achieve sales of 70,000 copies in a year.

And even if it achieves sales of 70,000 copies, it is still barely enough to meet the average annual salary!

The work should not be too long, just calculate it as four episodes a year, that is, one episode every three months.

Every time an episode is released, a planning book must be written. The planning book must pass the review of the editorial department, and an illustrator must be hired to draw the illustrations. While waiting for the editor's reply, it is difficult to modify the previous text, so I can only wait.

No matter how much you underestimate the budget time, it will exceed the scope of three months.

If the time comes and I get kicked back again, all my previous manuscript writing will be in vain!

In other words, all the energy and time invested over the past few months have been wasted!

In addition, the book market is shrinking, and there are more and more light novel writers. Every quarter, we need to compete with hundreds of light novel writers. Which one is not thinking hard about his own work? Discuss and communicate with the editor?

I think most light novel authors are like this. Either he gritted his teeth and persevered as a part-time writer, or he gnawed on his parents' capital while imagining that one day he would become famous.

Even though I know I only get a few hundred views each time, I still diligently write promotional articles for my new book on Twitter. I live a life where I pray that my work will not be buried among the hundreds of light novels published every month, only to see that my book has been removed from the bookstores the next month.

too much.

Too many emotions.

For people like us, it is a dream for our work to be adapted into animation, an unattainable dream, and it is also the hope that makes me persevere for a long time.

I want to see my favorite characters loved by everyone, and I want to see the characters I wrote supported by everyone.

I want to see the love shown in the interactions between the characters be understood by everyone.

If this can really be achieved, I will be very happy.

Therefore, every time I make an animation, I will give suggestions very seriously. I would like to thank the readers, the editor, the company, and everyone on the production committee.

To be honest, every scene feels like a dream.

At the dinner, Editor Kawataki raised a glass of congratulations, patted me on the shoulder and said:

"Well, teacher, congratulations, but it's still just a proposal, and the animation has not been officially finalized. In other words, there is a possibility that it will not be produced."

"Ah? This is what it is."

"But, the people at the animation production side have told us that the funder has a suggestion that we need to agree to. What do you think, teacher?"

"What's the problem with this?"

"The voice of the heroine must be a new voice actor designated by the management."

".Is it going to be okay? Besides, I shouldn't be able to speak if I'm casting a voice actor."

"Hey, you can't say that. Teacher, your support is also very important! What you write is a love theme. According to the market, you should have heard that the production of this type of animation is only 10 million per episode at most, and one season. It’s only about 100 million, but do you know how much money the employer gave?”

"How many.?"

Editor Kawataki smiled and held out five fingers.

"50000000?"

"Hahaha, cough, cough, cough," Editor Kawataki laughed so hard that he hit me on the shoulder and almost choked on his drink. It took him a while to regain his composure, and said with a glum smile, "It's 500 million! 5 100 million!"

I opened my mouth in surprise.

As far as I know, the production cost of an episode of "Bing Guo" is only over 11 million.

And if you adapt this novel, there will only be 13 episodes at most in one season, right?

The cost is shared evenly, which is close to 40 million yuan per episode!

What is this concept? !

It’s equivalent to the level of funding of Kyoto Animation’s “Violet Evergarden”!

"Of course, because the construction period required by the employer is very short, the work must be spread out more, and it is impossible to achieve the level of "Purple". But even so, the quality level is definitely excellent."

"Teacher, congratulations!"

In short, my life during that period was like a roller coaster ride.

That period has been more than half a year so far.

Recently, the animation has also begun to be officially broadcast.

Just like the unexpected hit during the promotion, my animation also became popular on the Internet because of its high quality and the support of a senior animation production company and popular directors and script writers.

Of course, sales of the original work also skyrocketed.

Once the animation was aired, the novel sold 23,421 copies that week.

I used to be able to reply to readers' comments sentence by sentence, but now I can't reply at all.

Every day when I open Twitter, there are countless comments and likes.

Countless questions came to me, and bloggers with many fans began to recommend my books. Even my mother and father, who usually don’t ask much about my affairs, heard the news from somewhere and called to tell me the good news. .

Currently, the time has come for the official release date of volume six.

In order to adapt to the popularity, the library and the production committee decided to jointly hold a release event.

Invite yourself to the stage to talk about your creative thoughts, and invite voice actors to perform on stage.

——When I posted this promotional message on Twitter.

It’s no longer the kind of hundreds of traffic and a few likes.

Instead, there are thousands of likes, countless supportive rumors such as "I will definitely go there", "To support Hidaka-chan", etc.

There are also character illustrations carefully crafted by animators and illustrators.

These are all for sure!

I see these.

I couldn't help but burst into tears. The emotions I had suppressed for six years seemed to be confirmed at this moment.

As I recall the scenes to this day, all I can think of is gratitude.

There is also a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

——————

"Teacher, teacher!"

Iwai Shu broke away from his memories, and standing in front of him shaking his shoulders was his editor-in-chief Kawataki Giichi.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Editor Kawataki smiled and said: "I heard the AP (Assistant Producer) call just now, saying that the voice actors will be arriving in a minute. Do you want to go together to greet them?"

"Can I go?"

"Teacher, you are the original author and one of the protagonists of this event. What's wrong?"

Editor Kawataki said this. It was idle to sit here anyway, so he and AP Maeda Mitsuo arrived at the back of the venue.

Of course, the voice actors of a work will not be from the same agency.

But the person who is coming out to greet us now is naturally Miss Sakakibara, who is the protagonist of today’s event.

Iwai Shu knows some inside information and knows that Miss Sakakibara, who is the voice actress of the heroine, has an inextricable relationship with the management.

Most people are like him and know it well.

To be honest, during the audition, Iwai was originally worried that the new voice actor was not strong enough and that the management was deliberately promoting him. What should I do?

But the fact still made him feel relieved.

Although Ms. Sakakibara is a newcomer, she is very serious about her work.

She spends a long time thinking about the lines and scripts for each episode, making notes and precautions.

As far as Iwai Shu knows, she has read the original work at least five times.

Every time I work, I communicate with myself for a while and discuss the characters and plots. Although I am not very good at talking to girls.

No wonder my readers leave comments on my Twitter.

[It’s good to have Saka-san as the heroine, don’t worry. ]

He looks cute and has a serious work attitude.

Thanks to her, the character of Hidakaho performed very well in the anime.

Sunny, handsome, confident, and occasionally showing loss and tenderness.

Maybe she doesn't need money to promote her, and she will become famous sooner or later, right?

Iwai Shu thought so.

WOD Office's special car arrived soon.

After the people in the car got off one by one, Mitsuo Maeda, the assistant, greeted him energetically and loudly:

"Good morning! Miss Sakakihara, Miss Sakaisen, and Mr. Nimura."

"Good morning." Sakai Chitian replied first.

"Good morning, please give me your advice today."

I saw Sakakihara Suzu, who looked particularly exquisite in her clothes today, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly like a princess to give a beautiful greeting. Agent Nimura Shi is right next to her, like the princess's personal bodyguard.

To be honest, this agent has a very agent-like attitude, with a capable style and a neat suit. He seems to be able to handle everything to the best of his ability.

Not to mention the agent.

Ms. Sakakibara herself has seen him many times. This newcomer does not look like a newcomer at all. The way he handles things and greets people is very polite.

He was very down-to-earth in front of his seniors and took the initiative to greet all kinds of people warmly.

Iwai Shu followed Maeda Mitsuo and said hello.

Miss Sakakibara seems to be a high school student, right?

However, Iwai Shu always felt like a high school student who had never seen the world and didn't even know how to talk to people outside.

After a brief chat, Maeda Mitsuo invited them into the elevator and followed them.

Iwai Shu was the third one to enter. He had to stand still in front of the control panel and looked straight at the jumping and flashing floor numbers above.

The narrow space of the elevator was extremely awkward, and the gravity and silence that didn't even allow for a cough made my shoulders feel heavy.

As an author, do you want to say anything to the voice actors?

But for a high school student, he is already considered an uncle, right?

Wouldn't it be rude to speak up?

Although there is a common medium of novels, I really don’t know what to say to them.

Yes, I don’t know how to talk to girls at all.

"Are there any other items for sale today?"

Miss Sakakihara suddenly asked from behind. This made Iwai Shu panic for a moment, and he thought that Miss Sakakibara was initiating a song to him.

As the AP, Mitsuo Maeda quickly replied with a smile: "Yes, in addition to the teacher's works for sale, there are also other peripheral items for sale on site, such as light sticks, towels, key pendants, T-shirts and other items. "

It's really enviable.

Should I say he is worthy of being an assistant? Being able to talk to people so freely.

If Iwai was talking to a voice actor, he was afraid that because he didn't know what to say, and because he was avoiding his eyes or something, he would be mistaken for a "perverted middle-aged uncle" with evil thoughts.

How embarrassing that is.

Maeda Mitsuo continued to chat with Miss Sakakibara behind him, and the topic revolved around "today's arrangements." Although the communication between them always mentioned "teacher", that is, himself.

But Iwai Shu always felt like he couldn't get a word in and was an outsider.

"I wonder if you would like me to take a look at the new library first?"

When Iwai Shu stared at the flashing floor numbers, it took him a long time to realize it.

Miss Sakakibara was really speaking to herself this time.

"Ah uh, of course, of course."

While Iwai was annoyed in his heart as to why it took him so long to realize the response, he continued to answer in a voice that was not very experienced in talking to others, "If Miss Sakakibara wants to see it, I will go to the warehouse later." Bring a copy over here.”

Authors probably ask for autographs when signing books - this idea suddenly popped into my head.

I originally wanted to ask if a signature was required.

But when I think about myself, a big-ass author, what else is there to talk about about signing? There is no such qualification at all.

Iwai Shu couldn't continue.

"Well, there's no need to bother the teacher at all. If Miss Sakakibara needs it, I'll just go and get it." Maeda Mitsuo immediately said with a smile on the other side.

While talking, several people arrived at the station and walked out of the elevator.

"This." Sakakihara Suzu said with a smile in front of a few people, and specially nodded to Iwai Shu, who was a few steps ahead, with a slight polite apology, "My main purpose is actually to get the teacher's autograph."

"Signature? Haha, that's it," Maeda Mitsuo nodded, and then said to Iwai Shu, "How about I go help the teacher and you can get the book first?"

"Can."

I don’t know what to answer, so I can only use affirmative sentences to prevaricate.

Iwai Shu never expected that Miss Sakakibara would actually want his autograph.

After six years of writing, he almost didn’t know what value his pen name had anymore!

After entering the lounge, it didn't take long for Mitsuo Maeda to come over with two brand-new volumes of the sixth novel. He handed the pen and book to himself.

"Ms. Sakakibara, can you sign on the first page?"

"Anything is fine."

Iwai Shu picked up the pen and signed his pen name on the first page behind the cover of the novel without familiarity.

"What is Suzu-chan doing?"

"Ah, I'm asking for an autograph," Suzu Sakakibara held up her signed copy of the Bunko and said to everyone with a smile, "Mr. Iwai's works have been really popular on the Internet recently, and you can often see them being discussed. So. I want to get an autograph quickly before Mr. Iwai becomes so popular that I can’t afford it.”

"Haha, Suzu-chan is too cunning!"

Of course, there are not only the two voice actors, Suzu Sakakihara and Chisano Sakai, who have just arrived in the lounge, but also people from other offices.

After they discovered that he was actually signing, they all gathered around.

Alas, how can I say this?

It was really lively, but there were more and more people asking for books and autographs.

Ms. Sakakibara’s compliment is really too exaggerated!

What is too hot to reach?

In the first half of the year, I was just an unknown light novel author.

Unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm for autographs, Iwai had no choice but to ask Maeda-san to go to the warehouse and get a few more novels from the library, sign them one by one, and distribute them to everyone.

"Mr. Iwai's work is really popular right now!"

"That's right, my colleagues have been discussing recently that people who get roles in this animation will probably follow the rising tide."

"Yes, yes."

Since I really didn't know how to answer, I could only reluctantly use "Yes" to prevaricate the answer.

This period can be described as restless.

After that, assistant Maeda-san went to get a lot of things, including a bunch of glow sticks, T-shirts, keychains and other similar peripheral products. Each portion is packaged very neatly.

"that."

All eyes in the lounge looked at the assistant, Mitsuo Maeda, who coughed twice, "These are the peripheral products I just mentioned. Please refer to them first. At the same time, these are also the things I want to give to you today. .”

"so much?!"

"Hey! Really? Can you really just take it? Thank you!"

"Everyone has a share."

It was probably the intention of the production company that everyone present would have a copy of the merchandise.

Even the author Iwai himself has it.

I have to say, the production is really neat.

Looking at the smiling faces on the peripheral products, the female character Iwai Shu in his novel felt warm in his heart.

Just when everyone got the peripherals and looked at them curiously, Iwai Shuyu also noticed that Miss Sakakihara had been looking at a keychain.

That's not the heroine Hidakaho she plays.

But in the work, Hidakaho's elder brother, Hidaka Hagi, as the eldest son in the family, has died long ago.

——This character does not officially appear in the work, but is presented as a memory of the heroine’s past.

Overall, he is a character who takes on Hidakaho's upbringing.

A character like this who didn't appear in the main film shouldn't have appeared in the peripherals.

But unable to withstand the demands of readers, the manufacturer still produced a batch of Hidaka Hagi peripherals in a small scale.

This keychain is among them.

Miss Sakakihara looked over and asked herself:

"How did Mr. Iwai write the character Hidaka Hagi?"

Iwai Shu subconsciously avoided looking, but he was also thinking seriously: "Well, Hidaka Hagi is a very, very important person in the heroine's life journey. It can be said that he has influenced her all her life. In order to make things reasonable, and at the same time I wrote the character Hidaka Hagi based on the identity of a classmate I met when I was a child.”

As he spoke, Iwai Shu sighed to himself:

"As a brother and sister who grew up without a father or a mother, and stayed with relatives, Hidaka Hagi had a great influence on Sui."

"Is it the mentality of unconditional trust?"

"Yes, that's the mentality." Iwai Shu immediately turned around, surprised by Sakakibara Suzu's understanding of the role of Hidaka Ho, "The male protagonist was able to get Sui's liking later on, largely because of his resemblance to Hagi. Influence."

"Then the day Hagi died, Hidakaho must have cried very sadly."

Iwai Shu was immersed in the book and answered sadly: "Indeed, it should be said that it was a long period of depression. After all, it was the most important dependence in the first half of life, and the heart that did not want to live suddenly disappeared. This was also the heroine's first attempt. The most fundamental reason why I came into contact with the hero in the rain is that he is very similar to me."

"Ms. Sakakibara, do you like the character of Hagi very much?"

"Yes," Sakakibara Suzu looked at the key in her hand and replied seriously, "I like it very much. It gives people a feeling of dependence and support. Over time, it will really be difficult to let go."

"so."

Sakakibara Suzu pinched the surrounding key chain and said to Iwai Shu with a smile: "Actually, there is a person like this in my family. I was able to embark on the path of voice acting because of his daily encouragement, consciously or unconsciously. Once I lost my voice. I was very uncomfortable practicing and very sleepy. When I woke up, I found a cup of scented tea next to me that could soothe my throat."

"I would like to ask, is it my brother?"

"Yes, brother."

"Then Miss Sakakibara, you should respect him very much."

Sakakibara Suzu thought for a while and said: "I think I respect and hate this at the same time. Emotions are very complicated and there may be conflicts. When I see the memories between the character Hagi and Sui, I can't help but recall them." My brother, I am a single-parent family. My father left us and my mother was very busy. He has always taken care of me. He has never cursed me. I am really grateful to him."

"I didn't expect Miss Sakakibara to have such an experience."

Iwai Shu recalled the acclaimed sixth episode of the anime, which described the memories of the past between brother and sister.

In the original work, he tried to write it as close to reality as possible. There was nothing exaggerated. It was just a very warm and heartwarming brother-sister relationship, and then the sad past of the sudden severance of this relationship.

It’s no wonder that fans praise her. It’s probably because Ms. Sakakihara put real emotions into this scene.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Iwai, you are really irritating. You actually wrote such an outrageous story about Hagi, a good person, but let Sui watch her brother die in front of her."

"This is a true story, Ms. Sakakibara, do you know? At that time, there was an old man driving in our area. Because he was old and in a trance, he accidentally hit the daughter of a father into the wall. He was not killed at first. The father threw down the groceries he had just bought, roared and slapped the car window, and shouted to the old man inside: 'Hey! Get out of the car! Get out of the car!' But the old man didn't know if he was frightened. Or whatever. She kept holding the steering wheel with her hand and stepped on the accelerator. The daughter kept screaming in pain in front of her father’s eyes until she completely lost her breath.”

This sentence silenced the topic for a long time.

"That's why Mr. Iwai, you are going too far!"

"Yes, I admit this. In response to the fans' request, I will probably open an IF thread in the future, which can barely make up for everyone's regrets."

Sakakihara Suzu smiled and said, "Do I get some top-secret information from the author?"

"Not really."

"However, in general, I am very grateful to Mr. Iwai for creating this work. Everyone is grateful for its arrival."

"Miss Sakakibara, you don't have to be so formal."

"Nothing, I just want to thank you sir for writing such a work and giving me a chance to grow."

Ms. Sakakihara was called away by her agent and left to work.

Iwai Shu recalled the way she spoke just now.

No wonder, no wonder everyone likes her.

He is kind to others, has a beautiful face, and is polite and upright. Not only does he have an extraordinary identity behind him, but he also takes his work very seriously.

Talking to her, I felt naturally respected and comfortable.

He maintains a cute and serious persona when facing the screen, but in real life he is a junior who respects his seniors.

With such respect for people, she must also respect and love her brother very much!

——————————

"Stinky Lele! Stinky Lele! What should I buy? Buy this!"

In the dressing room, after changing into Alice's dress, Sakakibara looked at her phone to see if Sakakihara had replied to her message.

But the result is, there is not one!

She has been worried about the black rabbit doll she saw today.

He, he, he, what can't he do?

Why are you giving me this for your birthday?

Are you hinting at something?

Was he implying that he had the same fate as the original owner of the black rabbit doll?

Huh~~

What a perversion.

I, Sakakihara Suzu, will never accept it, well, absolutely not!

I don’t know why, but he doesn’t reply to my messages anymore.

No, no, I have to ask him when I go back in the afternoon.

Also, the clothes I am wearing now are too embarrassing.

Sakakihara Suzu stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, Alice's blue and white dress.

There is a bow tied on the waist, a bow tied on the collar, and even a bow on the forehead!

She also wore white stockings and round-toe leather shoes.

The whole thing is like a fairy tale.

Also, what a shame!

Sakakihara Suzu thinks that she is in a very, very good situation if she can keep her expression on the stage without breaking down.

Not to mention, I have to say hello to the fans who came to the release event on stage, and sing and dance in this outfit.

Sakakihara Suzu now wants to die.

"Suzuki-chan, this outfit is very cute." Sakai Chidano looked at Sakakihara Suzu.

"It's too cute. It makes me look like a little girl."

"I think your makeup looks very much like Hidakaho. It looks like a character straight out of an anime, huh!"

dong dong

knocking.

The person who poked his head in was Sakakihara Suzu's manager, Shinmura Shi.

"Ms. Sakakihara, and Miss Sakai-sen, please prepare a little and go on stage in half an hour to practice and rehearse."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

"Yeah." Shinmura left.

Chitiano Sakai turned around again and looked at the embarrassed Sakakibara Suzu, "Come on, Suzu-chan! You will become a seiyuu idol in the future! You are very popular online recently!"

"Fine."

Sakakihara Suzu sat down discouraged.

Half an hour later, practice started as scheduled.

The purpose is to sing two songs.

One animated op and one animated ed.

The op is the chorus, and the ed is Sakakihara Suzu singing a cappella alone.

After getting on the stage, all the senior female voice actors gathered around Sakakihara Suzu, pulling her clothes and saying how cute she was.

He kept touching the bow on her body.

Sakakihara Suzu blushed, feeling like she had really become everyone's doll.

I won’t talk about the rehearsals after that. It’s so shameful!

She wanted to bury her face while dancing, and was stopped several times because of this.

If Rakugo Sakakihara were in the audience.

It's definitely over, Sakakihara Suzu has no face to see anyone!

The practice lasted until the afternoon after lunch, and the layout for the launch party was almost complete.

Only Sakakihara Suzu is still not adapting.

"Suzuki-chan, come on!"

"I'm sweet but you said come on, this dress"

"How cute!"

"Too cute!"

"Anyway, come on Suzu-chan!"

"."

Afterwards, Chiteno Sakai said she needed to use the restroom and left the dressing room first.

It's going to start in an hour, and I heard that there will be a lot of people coming to the sale in spite of the snow, and it's going to be quite lively.

Sakakihara Suzu thought that she was doomed this time.

She danced so shamelessly with no one else, but when this person came, she would soon be even more ruined?

"What should I do"

While stirring her hair, Suzu Sakakibara also wondered whether the doll that Raku Sakakihara gave her meant that much.

She hadn't thought about it for long.

There was another knock on the dressing room door and it was pushed open.

I thought it was Chiteno Sakai coming back from using the toilet, but unexpectedly, the person who came made Suzu Sakakihara's eyes widen.

She raised her hand and said in great surprise:

"F-Fox!"

"Is this how you talk to your investors?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue dusted off the snowflakes on her shoulders, pulled the scarf around her neck, and walked in quickly.

She was also carrying a small school bag for school, and she had obviously just come out of school.

"Investor? What do you mean?"

"I remember I told you about this before. But it doesn't matter anymore. You just need to know that I am now half of your boss."

Amami Nanamigetsu approached Sakakibara Suzu, saw the large blue and white skirt on her body, and looked at her clothes with curiosity.

"It's quite cute." She looked at it for a long time and gave such a comment.

Quite. Quite cute? !

Sakakihara Suzu was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it anymore. She suppressed her blush and said, "Me! I don't need this kind of praise from you!"

"Are you shy?"

"No, no!"

"If you're shy, just say so. And as an older sister, isn't it natural for you to praise your younger sister?"

Sakakihara Suzu's ears were red and she turned away proudly, but the clothes she was wearing only made her look like a little girl losing her temper: "I don't want to tell you these useless things, come on, come and do it with me today." What! I know you won’t come to me if you have nothing to do.”

"Who said that? Sister-chan is very busy at work recently, can't I just care about her?"

"You," Suzu Sakakihara suddenly seemed to realize something and asked in surprise, "are you trying to say that my work is all arranged by you?"

"That's not true. I am only responsible for taking the lead, funding and making requests. The specific work is naturally arranged according to the actual situation and is none of my business."

"Are you really the investor?"

"Didn't you see the word 'Tianhai' on the investor? Even if it's not my property, you should understand that if it has something to do with me, at least I can use these things."

"Are you really rich? Where did you get so much money?" Suzu Sakakihara asked curiously.

"Pocket money."

"Bragging! How can any family let a high school student handle so much money?"

"Believe it or not, this is my sister-chan's own business." Nanami Nanamiyue looked at Sakakihara Suzu up and down, "And aren't you benefiting from the investment in this work now? You are a popular newcomer."

“It’s not that red”

"Having more than 100,000 Twitter followers is not that small."

Suzu Sakakihara suddenly realized something was wrong: "You! You're pulling it on me again. I want to ask you! What are you doing here to find me?"

Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her arms and said with her eyes closed: "Recently, have you noticed that someone has basically ignored you?"

A bit indeed.

Sakakihara Suzu felt quite disappointed when she thought of this.

She unconsciously turned her hands behind her back and kicked up the air with her feet.

She said in a coy voice, "This is none of your business. Besides, shouldn't it be your fault? Why do you like my brother? Why should you like that guy?"

"First of all, I have to correct you, that guy owes me everything."

"Owe you?" Sakakihara Suzu wondered, "What do I owe you?"

"So, you two siblings don't have any memory at all." Nanami Nanami sighed helplessly, took out her phone, found a past photo, and faced the screen in front of Sakakibara Suzu.

"Take it over and have a look."

"what."

Suzu Sakakihara took her phone and looked at it carefully.

The more I looked at it, the more something was wrong.

In the photo, isn't it exactly me when I was a child?

And my brother from childhood.

Also, there is a little girl holding hands with him

Wait, who is this little girl?

Sakakihara tightened his fingers to enlarge the picture.

The flaxen hair, sky blue eyes, and face shape are vaguely familiar.

Isn't it? !

Sakakihara Suzu began to compare the little girl with sky-blue eyes in the photo with the Amami Nanamiyue in front of her.

The more I look at it, the more they look like each other.

It really looks more and more alike.

Sakakibara Suzu was immediately shocked: "You, you, you, how are you in this photo!"

Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head in confusion: "Isn't this an obvious thing?"

"You must have modified it with a computer!" Sakakihara Suzu immediately gave the answer and convinced herself, obviously agreeing with this answer.

"Why haven't we known each other since childhood?" Tianhai Qimingyue gave a direct and practical answer in disappointment.

"Of course it's because it's impossible! I'm still holding your hand in this photo? Haha, how is this possible!"

Tianhai Qimingyue: "What if I told you that you called me sister before and said that you would leave a share of delicious food to your sister in the future?"

"No way! Anyway."

Sakakibara Suzu looked left and right in the photo, but the more she looked, the more impressed she became, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she knew him, but she was too afraid to confirm, and finally returned the phone directly to Amami Nanamiyue.

"It's impossible anyway! It's impossible for me to call you sister fox!"

Tianhai Qimingyue tapped her arm with her index finger: "I don't want to talk to you about these guessing games. If you remember it, you will probably know why I said that guy owes me. And sister-chan, you owe me too, right? He made a promise to me that he would give me delicious food every day."

There was so much information that Sakakihara Suzu couldn't turn around for a while.

Wait, wait. If Qi Mingyue, herself and her brother have known each other since childhood.

Then isn't she and her brother still childhood sweethearts? !

what is this?

Are green plums falling from the sky? !

So, does my sister still have a chance of winning? !

Tianhai Qimingyue: "Can't remember? I remember we went boating together, and you cried so hard that you couldn't climb the wall in the orange grove."

"."

With a suspicious expression on her face, Sakakihara Suzuki looked at the face of Amami Nanamigetsu again.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

It really becomes more and more familiar the more I look at it.

It seems, it seems. There is such a person.

She suddenly appeared and said she wanted to play with her and her brother.

When she first appeared, he pushed her, not wanting her to be with him or with his brother.

Naturally, it smells really good afterward, and I had a lot of fun playing it.

"Even if that's the case, so what now? What's the point of telling me this?"

Tianhai Qimingyue looked over with squinting eyes: "I just think, sister-chan, doesn't she think she has a good relationship with me?"

"What do you mean?" Sakakihara Suzu couldn't help but shrink back.

"Isn't my relationship with you closer than your relationship with your sister?"
