Chapter 375 You Are Really Annoying and Have Survived Until Now.
In an empty room, Hojo Kyosuke was playing Fruit Ninja with Eriri and Shiyu.
The two girls stood in front and threw apples, oranges, cantaloupe and other fruits. Hojo Kyosuke stood behind and waved the precious sword "Silver". Xisaki Tetsuta stood beside and held the fruit plate to catch the falling fruits.
Only when the knife has never seen blood would someone do this. From Eriri's appearance, she didn't regard this valuable sword as a violent object at all, but simply regarded it as a decoration and gave it to Hojo Kyosuke.
After cutting another cantaloupe into six pieces and letting them fall into the fruit plate held by Xisaki, Hojo Kyosuke swung the knife cleanly to prevent the sweet juice from flowing along the blade to the handle. After such a play, the knife must be well maintained, otherwise it will rust soon.
Tetsuta Kisaki's cell phone rang. He put the fruit plate on the table beside him and looked at Hojo Kyosuke:
"General, the original interview time is almost up."
In other words, Akane Agasaki is coming.
"Okay, I see. You go down first and take her directly to the interview venue."
Kyosuke Hojo nodded, picked up the towel beside him and began to wipe the blade.
Time passed in a flash
A woman with flaming red hair and a sleeveless high-slit long skirt walked into the door of Carbonate Animation Production Company with a heroic momentum and long black silk legs.
Looking at those people staring at her with unfriendly faces, Akane Agasaki took off her sunglasses and smiled disdainfully.
"Interviewer, please go this way." Kisaki said expressionlessly.
Agasaki Agasaki didn't say anything, but just took the followers behind her and walked upstairs according to Kisaki's instructions, stopping from time to time on the way to admire the posters on the wall.
The attitude of her being the master of the place as if no one else was around made the cleaning staff in black suits very angry. Everyone already knew what happened today. There was a kind of atmosphere of humiliation and death. They wanted to immediately open their coats and rush up to kill the woman with swords.
"As a child's game, it's quite serious." Akane Hongsaka raised her lips and praised loudly.
Although her followers were frightened by the fierce black suits around them, they still responded tremblingly under the long-term power of the queen. But soon they lowered their heads again, wishing to run away.
"The interview time is coming soon. If you miss the time, you will be regarded as giving up the interview qualification." Tetsuta Kisaki said expressionlessly.
"Oh? I thought today's interview was my special one." Akane Hongsaka chuckled, and her hoarse voice was not as magnetic and charming as that of an ordinary queen, but instead had a momentum of controlling everything.
"The owner here is Hojo Kyosuke!" Xisaki did not say anything else, but stepped forward and walked to the front.
[Interview venue]
Looking at the Coke clinking cup logo and the word "carbonated", Akane Agasaki smiled again, thinking that if Hojo Kyosuke is willing, they can keep this name as the name of the project team.
Xisaki Tetsuta opened the door and walked in first.
Akane Agasaki walked into the venue and said loudly with a smile:
"I thought I would be blocked outside the door directly, but I didn't expect that Mr. Hojo's demeanor is so amazing."
At the interview venue, this woman still only called Hojo Kyosuke teacher, and her arrogant attitude was as undisguised as her fiery red hair.
"Of course, my mother taught me since I was a child that the most important thing for a person is to be polite."
Kyosuke Hojo stared straight at Akane Agasaki, and quickly hid the samurai sword that Eriri had forced over under the table with one hand. How could he not let you in? This guy is planning to chop off your dog head as soon as you come in.
Eriri, who was explaining "As soon as the teacup fell, three hundred swordsmen came up and hacked Akane to death", didn't expect that people would come so quickly. She coughed twice and sat back in her chair.
Akane's eyelashes flickered and she looked at the three people in the interviewer's seat. Hojo Kyousuke sat in the middle, on the left was Kashiwagi Eri, the artist of the doujin club egoist-Lily, and on the right was Kasumi Shiko, a light novel writer whose cumulative sales have reached 1.5 million.
After hearing what Hojo Kyosuke said, she naturally knew that the other party was mocking her for not following martial ethics and sneak attacking, but:
"My mother also said this to me, and I used to do the same thing, until I saw the true side of society."
After saying this, she didn't wait for the interviewers to respond, and supported her amazingly thin waist with one hand and smiled:
"Nice to meet you, I'm Akane Akane, please take care of me."
After bowing at a 45-degree angle, she didn't rush to straighten her waist, but raised her face:
"I remember that the interviewer should do this, right? Sorry, this is my first time."
"It's rare that you know some social etiquette." Kasumigaoka said coldly, and her expression was much colder than Eriri, who was almost embarrassed just now and was still trying to adjust her state.
Akinaka Akane ignored this sentence, chuckled, walked to the chair in the middle of the room and prepared to sit down.
"The interviewer hasn't allowed you to sit down yet!" Eriri said stiffly.
Akane Hongsaka's movements were without pause. After sitting down, she naturally crossed her legs and looked playfully at someone with blond hair. For a woman, her gaze was too sharp. And the latter lived up to expectations, tilting his head with a guilty conscience, then turning around forcefully, tilting his head with a guilty conscience, and then turning around stubbornly. In the end, he even changed from a person who made things difficult for others to a pitiful expression as if he was being bullied.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes. She had guessed that it would be like this. The princess was really well protected. This kind of occasion was not her home field at all.
But having said that, Yinglili's performance is already very good in her opinion. After all, this can be regarded as her first real face to society.
"The true side of society? Isn't what we see not society?"
Hojo Kyosuke looked at Akane Benisaka with a smile, and he felt a little sympathy for the other person's experience. A work that had put countless efforts and high hopes into was turned into a piece of shit, and even the original fans were lost. It can be said that the word "tragic" is written on the forehead.
but:
"Moreover, it is precisely because society is real that it is malleable. As a creator, isn't it necessary to present the world in your own eyes and mind to the audience? Since you don't like the so-called real society, dye the world with Wouldn’t it be better to have your own color?”
Yep! That's what I thought!
Listening to this, Yinglili nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, very satisfied with her mouth.
Akane Hongsaka showed no emotion at all, and even lowered her head and shook her head helplessly:
"Young, so young. Looking at your faces that have not been beaten by society makes me realize once again that what I did is not wrong."
"That's right? Do you know what you're talking about!" Eirili slammed the table, not caring about the pain in her hand, and glared at Akane Benisaka.
"After earning a large amount of royalties, I didn't buy luxury cars, squander money in Roppongi, or rent a private island and invite models to have parties. Instead, I bought a house and an office building with all the money, and went to school to play boring things every day. Play house game.
Hojo Kyosuke, you really have no ambition at all. I don't see in you your so-called awareness of dyeing the world with your own color. "
Akane Benisaka looked straight at Hojo Kyousuke, and her tone of voice became colder and colder.
Yinglili blinked, then blinked again, and finally turned her head uncontrollably to look at the boy beside her.
It turns out, what should boys do after they have money? But wouldn’t Mom be very happy to buy a house as soon as she heard that Kyousuke had money? He also said that if the money is not enough, his family will pay for it. Is there any problem with this?
There was something unnatural on Kasumigaoka Shiha's face. Although she had been working hard to be the perfect wife who could help Kyousuke's career outside and take care of the peace of the family home, she was still immersed in the unenterprising Kyousuke. You can't extricate yourself from the peaceful and peaceful life you create.
Hojo Kyosuke thought to himself, what should I say after you have finished speaking? Where do you see that I have no ambition? I work hard every day towards the most perfect dream, okay! How can you understand my happiness. He didn't know how to explain it for a while. After all, his dream was so great that it was difficult for ordinary mortals to understand it.
Fortunately, he is not alone, there is always someone who will understand him and help him.
"So this is the excuse you came up with to cover up the despicable means you used?" Ying Lili asked.
"Despicable means? Haha~"
Akane Kurisaka laughed a few times as if she heard some joke, and then stared at Eri in front of her with those oppressive eyes that seemed to make people fall in one breath:
"I think you must have misunderstood something. What I did was not against Hojo Kyosuke. On the contrary, I was trying to prevent Hojo Kyosuke's unparalleled talents from being wasted on such boring things. Neither he nor You, or Xia Shizi, should be grateful to me."
"Are you crazy? What kind of explanation is this!?"
Yingli, who had always been proud, was angered by the arrogance of the person in front of her.
"It's very useful, isn't it? I think after such an incident, it is enough for you to know that the so-called industry is not a child's game."
asshole! how dare you! ?
Eiri picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and was about to throw it to the ground, but Hojo Kyosuke took it and helped her unscrew the bottle cap.
Stupid chore! I don’t want to drink water! Where are my three hundred swordsmen?
"You're such an old person, it's time to stop suffering from chuunibyou. No matter how you look at it, you are just meddling in other people's business. Spending time and energy on things that make me happy will never make me happy. Call it a waste? Does it seem to you now that your experience in participating in the comic research club in school was a waste of time? "
Hojo Kyosuke said.
"That's right! After drinking Coke, are you saying that you can quench your thirst by just drinking water, denying the happiness you feel when drinking Coke!" Ying Lili cheered in her heart for the excellent performance of the mouth substitute, and echoed loudly at the same time.
Kasumigaoka looked at the two salted fish beside her, with a hint of doting helplessness on her face.
Hearing this, Akane Benisaka lamented that Hojo Kyosuke was really a hopeless flat fish, and at the same time, his overwhelming arrogance inevitably diminished.
Fortunately, she has never stopped paying attention to Hojo Kyousuke in the past three years, and has a deep understanding of what kind of person he is. Giving up the salted fish that is not interested in oil and salt, she turned her head to look at Eriri on the other side. This is the core goal of her strategy today.
"Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, long time no see."
"If you want to ease the atmosphere by acting as if you only noticed my funny behavior now, congratulations on your success."
Eriri's face was tense, and she didn't wonder why the other party knew her pen name.
"Hahaha, why would I think so, I just saw you outside the fan exhibition for the first time in a long time, and I'm happy that you are still so energetic."
"I don't need your concern, instead of saying this..."
Eriri was interrupted rudely by Akane Akasaka on the opposite side before she finished her words.
"But it's not surprising. Anyone who lives such a happy life under the protection of Hojo Kyousuke will always be full of energy. Three years have passed, and I have seen very little progress in your work, Kashiwagi Eri."
"Huh?" Eriri widened her eyes.
"Akinaka Akane, have you lost your attention to the industry because you have handed over the business of the fan club to your subordinates for too long? The egoist-Lily club that Kashiwagi Eri belongs to ranked among the top 20 of all similar clubs in the last fan exhibition, and the length of the queue is also one of the longest in the museum."
Kasumigaoka Utaha said. Eriri didn't know why Akane Akane knew her so well. She knew that Akane Akane's Mars company not only had animation and comic novel business, but also had a fan club for training newcomers. But last year, it was completely handed over to other people to manage.
"You too, teacher Kasumi Shiko, three years have passed, where is your new book? I can't see any progress you've made."
Akinosaka Akane didn't respond to Kasumigaoka Shiko's words at all, but directly retorted:
"To be honest, the purpose of my coming here is to get you. But in fact, you and I are not at the same level at all. I look forward to your future, but, unfortunately, except for Hojo Kyosuke, three years have passed, and the progress I have seen from you is minimal.
As far as I know, Hojo Kyosuke's original intention of establishing this company was to animate the works of Kashiwagi Eri and Kasumi Shiko."
Although she didn't know what the other party was going to say next, Eriri still raised her chin proudly.
"So, do you think you can make a good work with your current situation?"
Akinosaka Akane put one hand on her knee, bent down and put her chin on the back of her hand, looking at Eriri in front of her:
"Original artist?"
Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha:
"Screenwriter?"
"Do you think you will be a help or a burden to Hojo Kyousuke in the production team?"
"Under your hands, will Hojo Kyousuke's work become shit or a masterpiece?"
"Shut up, when did you become the boss here?"
Kyosuke Hojo said coldly, but his next words were interrupted by Eriri. This cowardly, soft-hearted idiot who would be shaken by the wind held his hand tightly, and his blue eyes flashed wildly as he looked at Akane Kosaka.
A blind man could see that she was persuaded by the other party.
"This may be a bit too cruel to you, so let me put it another way..."
Akinaka Akane ignored Hojo Kyosuke's words and looked at Eriri, whose eyes were already a little hesitant:
"Do you think that as long as everyone is happy together, it doesn't matter if the work becomes a piece of shit?"
"Hmm? Kashiwagi Eri, Ms. Sawamura Spencer Eriri, what do you think? What is your goal in coming to this company?"
This person didn't look like an interviewer at all, but began to interrogate Eriri with a suffocating momentum.
"Eriri, there's no need to listen to her seriously, it's just a trick." Hojo Kyosuke looked at Eriri, whose face was getting worse and worse, and began to regret not letting Kisaki sink Akane Akane into Tokyo Bay at the beginning.
Why am I so looking forward to coming to this company that belongs to us with Kyosuke?
Why did I get excited a month ago, why did I roll around in bed all day and couldn't sleep last night.
Why did I bury my head in the quilt and make uncontrollable excited sounds.
Because this is the place where my and Kyosuke's works can be turned into animations.
At first, Eriri never thought there would be such a formal company. In the girl's imagination, their animation studio should be her bedroom. She is the supervisor and the painter... Kyosuke is the screenwriter, animation, and miscellaneous tasks...
The progress of the work will be very slow, but it doesn't matter. She and Kyosuke have a lifetime to complete this.
However, she can't accept that the work that condensed her and Kyosuke's hard work was destroyed because of her lack of ability.
...
"Ms. Spencer, is your awareness as a creator limited to this level? Have you never thought about making your work a popular masterpiece?"
Akinaka Akane chuckled in her heart. As expected, just like the information she got, Kashiwagi Eri is the best breakthrough!
She chuckled and glanced at a figure outside the door.
"Aki, you can come in."
Akinaka Akane turned her head and shouted to the outside.
Her follower, a boy in a blue T-shirt, holding a thick stack of file bags, walked to the door.
"Excuse me."
"I am Tomoya Aki, a part-time student at Mars Company. Please give me your advice."
Yes, the person who came was Tomoya Aki, who had disappeared for who knows how long.
Looking at the boy standing in front of him, Hojo Kyosuke's eyes gradually became dangerous.
"Tomoya Aki, you are really annoying to survive until now."
He did not hide his disgust.
Ah, after reading the comments, my headache is gone. Thank you for your support.
Then at the end of the month, I will ask for monthly tickets. I have updated nearly 200,000 words this month. I am still working hard.
