Chapter 377: Final Kill

"Don't try to measure the limits of God with mortal eyes. Trying to see the sun will only blind your eyes with the dazzling light, Akane Ayaka."

Standing beside the table, Tetsuta Kisaki spoke coldly. Looking at Akane Ayaka's ignorant look, he felt very happy. Sure enough, it's futile to become stronger. Only when the eldest brother is strong can he be really strong!

Eriri also raised the corner of her mouth in cooperation. Apart from herself, the chores are the strongest!

"Oh? God? Interesting, is there such a setting?"

Ayane Ayaka did not hide her surprise, nor did she believe what Hojo Kyosuke said. Instead, she really started to ask questions about the contents of the plan. She typed it out word by word, so she was naturally familiar with it.

"How should the serialization speed of "Attack on Titan" be adjusted in the future?"

"Double the update volume based on the current basis, and release a special chapter every two months." Hojo Kyosuke answered without pausing, but still couldn't help complaining:

"You are really..."

"When will the "Sword Art Online" novel be animated after serialization?" Akane Akinaka interrupted directly and continued to ask questions.

"Start right after joining Mars. I say, you've added too many private jobs!"

"How many comic assistants are needed to fully unleash Hojo Kyosuke's strength?"

"21."

"..."

"..."

"How to balance the relationship between novels and comics and animation production?"

"Stop! Your plan doesn't seem to treat me as a human being at all, right?"

Hojo Kyosuke refused to continue answering. Akane Akasaka's plan clearly stated everything from the serialization plan of her existing works to the subsequent development and the selection of new works, even comic assistants, drawing tools, daily health management, how long to sleep, and which clubs to go to for maintenance. It can be called a guide for mama's boys.

But there is a problem. Those things above are not like what humans can do at all.

Sleep one hour every three hours. When completing the staged work, there will be a special person to help you relax your muscles and take you for a walk and entertainment. The rest of the time is basically all work.

The number of characters typed every day reaches more than 100,000, and the drawings that need to be drawn are more than 200. In addition, they must participate in other important decisions of Mars as necessary talents.

"What's wrong? Didn't your subordinates just say that you are a god? Oh, I understand. The sleep time is a bit too much for a god, right? Then adjust to sleep for 30 minutes every three hours like me."

Akane Hongsaka said with a smile, but she was also shocked in her heart. Really, can you remember everything just by flipping through it randomly? If she was not sure that the plan could not be leaked, she would now suspect that Hojo Kyosuke had already received the plan and spent a lot of effort to memorize it.

However, since his excellence exceeded expectations, the plan must also be changed accordingly.

Sleep for 30 minutes every three hours? Then 24 hours is four hours?

Eriri used her smart brain to convert it, and immediately looked at Akane Hongsaka opposite with wide eyes. Sleeping is such a happy thing, she is willing to give it up?

"Are you still human?" the girl couldn't help asking. This was the question Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to ask.

"So-called creators are no longer human beings."

Akane Akasaka stood up, opened her arms, and said loudly with a crazy smile on her face:

"In order to create perfect works, everyone relies on constantly devouring dreams to persevere. Why, aren't you like this, Kashiwagi Eri?"

The red-haired woman looked at Eriri with her oppressive eyes again:

"Or is it that your dream is no longer enough to support you to move forward?"

"Huh? I don't want to be told that by an old lady!"

Eriri also stood up. She has always been very concerned about momentum. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would stand directly on the chair. Anyway, she would never allow herself to be looked down upon. Although many times no matter how hard she tries, she will fall behind.

Hojo Kyosuke and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in their original positions without moving, looking at the crazy Akane Akasaka. This person has really gone crazy in order to create a good work. As a young lady, there is no need to push yourself to that extent.

"But I can't see the dream in your work at all. Is it that your dream has been devoured by you and can't support you to continue to make progress? Or is your dream just like this?"

Akinaka Akane threw the last folder in her hand on the table.

Eriri didn't let Hojo Kyosuke see the file this time, because it was obviously Akane who asked her to see it.

""Bicycle H&H"?"

The moment she pulled out the printed paper, the girl frowned, because the words written on the first page were the name of her latest work "Bicycle X&H".

This is an advertisement in the form of an animation. The content is not a passionate bicycle race for boys, but a few girls riding bicycles and wandering around after school every day, rushing down the hill, carefully keeping balance on the narrow road two palms wide in the middle of the rice field, and loudly cursing the annoying homework while enjoying the evening breeze on the deserted road at night...

The first time Eriri saw it, she was struck by the carefree life of girls. She didn't have such a happy childhood. Moreover, she was known for her gorgeous painting style in the doujin circle, and she was best at drawing girls, so she immediately used all her skills to start creating. For this reason, she even put aside the competition in the Tokyo Youth Exhibition temporarily, and just pretended to be dead when a chor urged her.

Originally, Eriri thought that the other party was going to hit her with something, but she didn't expect that it was her own work.

What? This is my masterpiece. Now that things have come to this, have you seen the strength of our Carbonate Animation Company and want to beg for mercy by praising me?

With the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, Eriri picked up the more than ten pages of information she brought and opened the first page.

But the moment she saw the content of the second page clearly, the girl's pupils instantly dilated.

Without waiting for Hojo Kyosuke next to her to look over, Eriri quickly turned to the second page, the third page... The speed of flipping can be compared with Hojo Kyosuke.

The girl's expression became more and more nervous, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.

Snap

The slender and white fingers loosened weakly, letting the information in her hand fall to the ground.

"How, how, how is it possible!?" Eriri murmured softly and sat on the chair. She passively gave up her momentum and sat on the chair and began to look up at Akane Akasaka.

Hojo Kyousuke lowered his head and frowned after just one look at him.

Scattered on the ground were pictures of girls wearing swimsuits and riding bicycles. If it was just the content, he would have seen it a long time ago and would not be surprised, because Eriri drew it like this from the beginning.

Although this guy is a painter who has received traditional painting education and can participate in international exhibitions on the surface. But when she switched to the identity of a fan artist, she would fully consider the factors of time. Not only will she choose materials from popular themes, but even when creating fan works, she will choose the most popular 18x works.

"Do you think I really like these pornographic things? I only draw like this because those stupid otaku like me. As long as I draw like this, they will obediently send money to me!"

The girl said so, but the excited expression on her face when she was creating seemed to be different.

Hojo Kyosuke knew this from the day he first met Eriri. After all, the debut work based on himself and her had reached the point where it could not be sold without coding.

Wait, while recalling the past, someone suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be because of himself that Eriri's talent as a natural book artist was activated, causing her to embark on this road of no return? After all, he was not bragging, and few people could see him without falling into fantasy.

And now the drawing paper scattered on the ground, the content is consistent with Eriri's latest work, but the painting skills are...

Eriri's painting style itself is widely praised for its gorgeousness and exquisiteness, but now this one thrown by Akane Akasaka is much better. Whether it is design, brushstrokes, or processing, it is all better than the original.

The depth of the swimsuit straps, the overflowing plumpness of the mountains that the cloth can't hold, the feeling of the thighs rubbing against the metal when riding on the bicycle tripod, it seems that the embarrassment on the girl's face can be felt directly...

Even if there is no messy plot, this is enough to be a good spell material.

If it is just that the painting skills are not as good as others, it is fine, but this is an improvement on Eriri's original work, which is equivalent to saying directly "Your proud skills are just so-so."

"It took me three hours to complete it. Is this what you call a dream? Only this level?"

Akira Akane's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and the feminine beauty was completely invisible on her.

Almost every time Akane Akane said a word, the slender body of the blonde girl would tremble.

"Ah, ah..."

The girl lowered her head and made unconscious sounds from her mouth.

Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly saw that Eriri was shaking.

"Sawamura-san..." She shouted with some worry.

How is it possible! ?

Eriri kept screaming in her heart, wanting to deny Akane Hongsaka's work, wanting to proudly say that she could easily draw this kind of rubbish, and that Eriri's speed of evolution was faster than light.

She didn't want to admit it, and she couldn't admit it, but she had to admit it.

Not only the style and technique, but also the core and the soul were similar! ! !

Akane Hongsaka only took three hours to draw this kind of thing...

The place she was most proud of suffered such a tragic blow, and the girl's psychological defense line was on the verge of breaking. Her right hand subconsciously stretched out and tightly grasped Hojo Kyosuke's thigh, as if holding the last hope, but the trembling still did not stop, and even became more intense.

Because she realized that Akane Hongsaka, that woman was right.

Akane Hongsaka only took three hours to achieve this, which means that as long as she is willing to spend more time and energy, she can make a more perfect work. As she said, my chores, the assistant who cleans my brushes for me, can shine more brightly with her help.

Even if it is the animation that I want to complete, which records our beautiful life, it can be completed more smoothly with the help of Akane Akasaka.

I, I... I am not the only one for Kyousuke!!!

I am not unique!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! !

This desperate discovery made Eirili's eyes drip with tears, and the hand holding Hojo Kyosuke's pants became harder and harder, as if this person had been accompanying him in his mischief, and he could start a fight for his boundless dream. The chores of the company will disappear in the next second...

Looking at Eiri like this, Kasumigaoka Shiu couldn't help but glare at Akane Kurisaka, as if she wanted to protect Eiri wholeheartedly. She would never allow others to trample Yinglili's self-esteem like this!

"Just give me enough, Hongsaka..."

Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by the actions of the boy next to her. The boy who had been sitting motionless suddenly stood up. This battle fully demonstrated what it means to overwhelm your opponent in terms of momentum.

As motionless as a mountain and as moving as thunder, even if Hojo Kyosuke just stood there and said nothing, everyone present felt an astonishing momentum. An Yilun was even more frightened and backed away with a look of panic.

"Just like Shiyu said, please stop it a little bit, auntie."

Hojo Kyousuke first scolded Akane Kurisaka with a cold face. He, who has always been very gentle towards women, directly used the term aunt.

"Ah, auntie?"

Even though she has always behaved and spoken like an uncle, Akane Kurisaka is still a woman, and the expression on her face instantly twisted when she heard these words.

Hojo Kyosuke ignored Benisaka Akane over there, but turned his head and put his left hand on Eiriri's little head.

"You are such an idiot."

He rubbed his hands slightly hard on the girl's head, unscrupulously messing up the carefully combed hair.

The sound as clear as the cold wind on the ice sheet floated into the girl's ears. Instead of making her desperate heart become colder, it was like the cold wind with the breath of ice and snow in spring, bringing endless happiness to the dark and dry heart. vitality.

Eiri raised her little face, and when the tears flowed down her nose and soft cheeks into her mouth, she suddenly realized that she must be embarrassed now, so she quickly took back the hand that was still holding on to Hojo Kyosuke's pants. , his two little hands were wiping his face randomly, and his little mouth kept muttering:

"Uh-oh, long-winded-you are--wu, you are the fool!"

Because the girl's clear and sweet voice became intermittent due to the choking of crying, she simply said all the words super quickly between sobs.

Although the desperate matter has not been solved, and no light has been seen, just hearing that stupid voice, Yinglili instantly felt countless peace of mind.

Just like the first time we met, even if the huge crowd seemed to be about to swallow up my small self, as long as I snuggled in his arms, no matter what kind of storm, I could not drown myself.

"Only an idiot would cry so sadly." Hojo Kyosuke pinched the tip of the girl's red nose.

"I just...I just want to cry suddenly, can't I!"

Yinglili originally wanted to find some perfect excuses, but after hearing those doting words, she simply started to be unreasonable.

Anyway, anyway, he is Kyousuke! My faithful chore!

"Only a fool like you would fall for that kind of clumsy trick."

Hojo Kyosuke bent down and held Eri's little face with his left hand to make her look at him. Then he held her face with both hands and gently stroked his thumbs from under the blue eyes to wipe away the tears.

Before the girl could speak, he straightened up again and looked at Akane Kurisaka opposite:

"I can understand your desire to get me, but it's a bit too bullying to still play such little tricks at such an old age."

"You can understand, so we are the same kind of people, Hojo Kyousuke! As long as the goal is great, it doesn't matter what means you use!"

Akane Kurisaka adjusted her expression. Seeing how much Kyousuke Hojo cared about the girl next to her, she was even more sure that the plan was correct.

Hojo Kyousuke glanced at Eri, who was looking up at him, still unaware of anything, and sighed helplessly, this idiot, but he still opened his mouth to explain:

"You are a seventeen-year-old female high school student. And the person across from you is Akane Akane Benisaka, who dropped out of college and has been immersed in the industry for who knows how many years. No matter how talented you are, if you want to use your talent to kill Akane Benisaka, After years of hard work, you are too arrogant, Yinglili."

He even called out aunt, and said that the other party was old and that this idiot had not discovered the key to the problem.

His blue eyes widened suddenly, and his sobbing stopped briefly due to shock.

Eirili opened her mouth and looked at Benisaka Akane, who didn't care at all that her plan was revealed. Then she lowered her head and looked at the drawing paper on the ground. By the way, she saw her little white socks with lace and round toe. Leather shoes, looking up, he saw the light green shorts and fan T-shirt again.

The girl wanted to slap herself, but since it was too painful and embarrassing, she chose to condemn herself in her heart like Kyousuke did.

Ahhhhh! ! !

What a fool I am! ! !

Wasn't it planned from the beginning? If you lose the quarrel, can you just rely on your youthful and invincible beauty and say "Obasan" to complete the decisive blow against Akane Akane? Why is Obasan using his age advantage to kill him now? !

Ah, I am a pig head!

In addition to being annoyed, the despairing darkness in the girl's heart was once again filled with sunshine.

"You're so long-winded! This is the arrogance of a genius. I never put my eyes on my peers! You, an idiot, won't understand!"

With a curled mouth, Eriri leaned back on the chair, clasped her hands in front of her chest and said proudly.

Ah, you are indeed my chores, my most loyal subordinate, you are so reliable! The girl's heart leaped with joy, and the ten round toes hidden in the small leather shoes couldn't help curling up to express the excitement of the owner.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the idiot with relief and helplessness, thinking, isn't that her own line? You, an idiot, not only put your eyes on your peers, but also spent a lot of energy playing the role of a young lady in school.

But...

Kyosuke, Kyosuke, you are indeed the man I like. Even I didn't realize the trap set by Akane Akasaka, and I was thinking of using the black material I found out to fight back, but I didn't expect that he had found the loophole in an instant.

Everyone knows how hard Eriri works. The reason why I admire her is that she not only has talent, but also has the effort and perseverance to develop her talent.

Talent only provides the possibility of surpassing ordinary people. To truly stand tall in the clouds, countless efforts are needed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who fell in love with literature when her mother praised her for using many words since she was a child, understands this best.

And the opposite Akane Ayane is also a person with extraordinary talent and talent! More importantly, the effort she puts in is definitely not inferior to anyone.

"Vicious old lady! Do you know that in comics, people like you will be gagged and locked in the basement for training? If you like to imitate other people's works so much, you will be locked up and gagged... If you don't draw a hundred copies a day, you will not be given water, and if there is any difference from the original, you will be whipped with a whip."

Eriri said viciously, and she decided to use 50% of her skills to scold this old woman to tears.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was just expecting Eriri to fight back, turned her head away and pretended not to know the book artist.

No matter what, the frequency of "lock up" and "stuff" is too high. Although everyone knows your identity, you should be a little more restrained.

"..."

Another old lady, Akane Ayaka's mouth twitched, and she looked at Eriri fiercely:

"It seems that after you join my company, I will take some time to teach you how to talk to the elderly and how to be a polite little girl."

When she talked about little girls, she almost spoke every word.

"Huh? Teach me manners? You are the most impolite person! Have you ever greeted me, the interviewer, since you came in?"

Eri snorted contemptuously:

"I think you should join our company and let me teach you well."

Speaking of training, Hojo Kyosuke absolutely believes in Eriri's professionalism. After all, the most common thing in this guy's notebook is, well...

Thanks to the big guys for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and reward support~
