Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

"Don't worry, I know where his school is. Sometimes you have to take a roundabout route. If all else fails, there's always his home. I refuse to believe that everyone can give up such a smooth road. I'm going to have this boy!"

"What? You're already set on this? Let me tell you, we're going to fight on our own merits. Don't expect me to give way to you!"

……

"I had a really great day. Thank you for spending the whole day with me." As they approached Kato Megumi's house, she let go of Uesugi Kenichi, jogged a few steps forward, turned around, bent down slightly, and tucked the hair that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear with a gentle smile.

Uesugi Kenichi felt a sudden heart attack. He realized that he might have underestimated Kato Megumi. It turned out that not only was Kasumigaoka Utaha full of talent in flirting, but Kato was just as good at it!

If Kasumigaoka Utaha is a passionate rose, then Kato Megumi is a shy water lily, each with her own unique beauty.

"Not at all, I'm very happy today too, thank you, Megumi." Uesugi Kenichi paused for a moment before smiling, his fingers lightly rubbing together to hide his inner turmoil.

"Well... I'll head back now. Kenichi, you should go home early too." Kato Megumi blinked and took two slow steps forward, looking directly into Uesugi Kenichi's eyes. A warm feeling quietly welled up from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, I'll be leaving in a bit." Uesugi Ken nodded and watched Kato Megumi's figure leave, feeling a little reluctant. He was really happy today, and he seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of Kato Megumi being by his side.

It's as if it suddenly entered my heart without me even realizing it, as gentle and soothing as water, without me noticing at all.

As she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a trotting sound. Just as she was about to turn back, she felt a soft body embrace her from behind, and a delicate fragrance wafted from behind her.

"Don't overthink it, this is just a thank you gift for spending the whole day shopping with me. Also, don't turn around." Kato Megumi's voice was tinged with shyness, and her fair face was flushed, making her as cute as a red apple.

Kenichi Uesugi forcibly stopped himself from turning over. He looked at the small, white, and slightly chubby hands wrapped around his chest and smiled gently. Even without looking, one could imagine the adorable expression on Megumi Kato's face at that moment.

"Hui," he called softly.

"W-what's wrong? You promised not to turn around." Kato Megumi buried her head in Uesugi Kenichi's broad back, feeling an indescribable sense of security spreading through her heart. Moreover, she felt that Uesugi Kenichi smelled so good, and she wanted to take a few deep breaths, but that would be too embarrassing.

She suppressed her inner impulse; she was already very shy, and if she really did it, she felt she might faint right there.

"I hope your hair grows back quickly."

Upon hearing Uesugi Kenichi's words, Kato Megumi's eyes immediately lit up with a strong light. Her large, bright eyes shone with a radiant glow, and she gave Uesugi Kenichi an extremely happy smile, hugging him even tighter.

"Yes!" she said very solemnly, as if making a promise.

……

Back at his apartment, Uesugi Kenichi sat alone in a chair, doing nothing but sitting quietly, a smile occasionally appearing on his face, as if he were thinking of something happy.

After a while, he snapped out of his daze, shook his head with amusement, and realized that no one could escape the ultimate truth of the world—the "it smells so good" principle.

He originally planned not to date during his three years of high school, but now it seems he's going to break his promise.

He took out the bracelet he had bought today, examined it carefully in his palm, and the image of Kato Megumi's gentle and lovely appearance suddenly appeared in his mind. A smile appeared on his face as he solemnly put the bracelet away.

Six months should be more than enough time for hair to grow back.

The next two days were spent working on game production. After he provided the sample images, Eriri had already drawn many drafts. He felt they were very good, even better than the images he remembered.

This artist's skill is no joke; it's not just about talent, but also about hard work.

Meanwhile, things are going very smoothly for Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi. Blizzard Studios has registered and all the official WeChat accounts have been set up, but there aren't many people following them yet. There's no need to worry, people will naturally start paying attention once the game is released and word-of-mouth spreads.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested that he film some videos about him and upload them, but he resolutely refused.

However, Aki Tomoya encountered some trouble. The programmer he had his eye on seemed difficult to reach, and kept replying that he didn't have time.

Aki Tomoya visited several times but failed to meet the man. Left with no other option, he sought help from Uesugi Kenichi.

……

"Is this the place? Sakura-sou? The name is quite nice." Uesugi Kenichi looked at the cozy-looking two-story apartment in front of him and asked Aki Tomoya, who was standing to the side.

It's not far from his new home, about a ten-minute walk.

"That's right, this is the place. I've been here twice, and I haven't even seen anyone." Aki Tomoya said, sounding a little discouraged. The others had no problems with their work, so why was he making no progress at all?

He already felt that his presence and necessity in this studio were not strong, and now that he really couldn't get anything done, he might as well just leave.

"Let's go take a look." Uesugi Kenichi went in first and knocked on the door.

His original plan was that since this programmer wasn't good enough, he would find another one, and if that didn't work, he would pay more. Anyway, he had recently sold a batch of wood carvings, and the production cost of Plants vs. Zombies wasn't high, so he wasn't short of money for the time being.

There's no need to insist on sticking with one person to the death.

However, Aki Tomoya disagreed and kept telling him how amazing this programmer named Akasaka Ryunosuke was, and even showed him some of his designs.

After seeing the work, Uesugi Kenichi felt that it was indeed very impressive. After hearing Aki Tomoya say that it was made by him alone, he had the idea of ​​coming here with him.

After all, talented people are always given preferential treatment, no matter where they are placed. As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about having a temper.

"Who is it?" a somewhat tired voice came.

"Hello, I've come to visit Mr. Akasaka." Uesugi Kenichi greeted the woman with a hot figure and a head of crimson hair with a half-bow.

"Oh~ it's you again, come in quickly." Chihiro's eyes lit up when she saw Kenichi Uesugi for the first time, but after looking at him for a while, she noticed Tomoya Aki standing to the side and immediately understood.

"Well then, thank you for your help." Uesugi Ken said thank you and then led Aki Tomoya inside to get dressed.

"Come on, young man, sit here first. Would you like something to drink? How about some beer?" Chihiro Sengoku warmly invited Kenichi Uesugi to sit down and asked.

"Plain water is fine, thank you." A black line appeared on Uesugi Kenichi's face. He actually invited an underage boy to drink so directly.

"So, young man, what's your name? Which school do you go to? Do you have a girlfriend? Most importantly, do you have an older brother?" Chihiro looked at Kenichi Uesugi with anticipation. As a 29-year-old and 13-month-old woman, she was facing a huge problem—marriage!

Kenichi Uesugi looked at Chihiro Sengoku, whose enthusiasm was almost frightening, and then asked Tomoya Aki with his eyes, "My name is Kenichi Uesugi. I am currently studying at Yamato Private Academy. I don't have an older brother. Thank you."

When Aki Tomoya noticed Uesugi Kenichi's question, he covered his forehead. Although he had long since given up on this world that judges people by their looks, this was just too real. He had been here for two days and no one had served him.

"Oh, that's a real shame." Sengoku Chihiro looked dejected after hearing Uesugi Kenichi's words. This kid is so handsome, if he had an older brother, he would definitely be just as good.

"Ta-da! It's another beautiful day. What should I do next? Ah, I'm so excited! Oh, we have guests today."

Hearing the sound, Uesugi Kenichi looked over and saw a girl with flaxen hair skipping and hopping in like a nimble cat, speaking in a language whose meaning was unclear.

“Oh, it’s Misaki. Welcome back. These two are Uesugi Kenichi and Aki Tomoya. They’re here to see Ryunosuke.” Sengoku Chihiro smiled at the girl in front of her.

She really likes Misaki; she's always so energetic and youthful. Being around her makes her feel a few years younger.

"Hello, everyone! Wow, you're so handsome, can I have a hug?" Misaki Kamiigusa greeted Uesugi Kenichi and the others with a big smile. Then, her eyes lit up, and while she was asking a question, she ran and jumped towards Uesugi Kenichi.

When Uesugi Kenichi saw the girl rushing towards him, his face darkened. He grabbed the girl's arm with one hand and supported her waist with the other. With a forceful twist, he spun her 180 degrees and brought her back to her feet.

"Wow, that's amazing! Let's do it again!" After standing still, Misaki Kamiigusa was not afraid at all. Instead, she found it incredibly interesting and a smile of excitement appeared on her face.

"It's dangerous. Who wants to do it with you again? Who do you even know?" Uesugi Kenichi said irritably.

"Haha, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Misaki Kamiigusa, and I'm currently a third-year student at Suimei Arts High School. Nice to meet you!" Misaki Kamiigusa gave Kenichi Uesugi a spirited bow.

573 "Um, hello." Uesugi Kenichi could tell that this girl was probably a hyperactive person, the kind who basically couldn't stay still.

"Then let's have hot pot tonight to celebrate having guests today!" Misaki Kamiigusa suggested, raising her right hand high.

So, am I being ignored again? Aki Tomoya felt a little heartbroken. Although he was indifferent to real-life girls, being forgotten like this was still painful.

"So, where is Mr. Akasaka?" Uesugi Kenichi asked Sengoku Chihiro, ignoring Kamiigusa Misaki.

"He's been staying in his room lately. I think he's been busy developing something, so he's been in seclusion. Although he doesn't come out very often anyway," Chihiro Sengoku remarked. As a teacher here, she really couldn't manage these problem children.

After all, Sakura-sou is home to all of Suimei's problem students, and these problem students all have extremely high talents.

"Ding-dong." A cell phone rang.

"Lord Ryunosuke Akasaka's research and development is complete. He will be coming out for dinner tonight. Please treat my master well."

Upon hearing the sound, Kenichi Uesugi looked up and saw a cartoon maid character bowing and speaking on Chihiro Sengoku's phone screen.

"Is this an AI?" Kenichi Uesugi asked curiously.

“That’s right, this is an AI software developed by Ryunosuke himself.” Chihiro Sengoku replied, “Let’s stay here for dinner today. Ryunosuke will come out for dinner later.”

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

After seeing this AI, he became even more eager to recruit Ryunosuke Akasaka into his team, because you can never have too many talented people.

Finally, he pulled Aki Tomoya to sit down, and Kamiigusa Misaki sat down next to him curiously and asked, "What do you want to do with Ryunosuke, meow?"

"Have him help write the code for a game."

"Are you a game developer? That's amazing! Do you like playing games? Do you want to come to my room? I have lots of fun games. How about we have a competition where the loser has to take off a piece of clothing?" Misaki Uesugi grabbed Kenichi Uesugi's hand and started to rush upstairs.

"Ah, I'm not going. It's not like a man to back out before it even starts."

Is this person mentally challenged?

Kenichi Uesugi gave Chihiro Sengoku a speechless look, while Chihiro responded with a "Go for it!" and then took a big gulp of beer.

Ah, youth is wonderful.

No, I'm not old at all!

"Don't want to play games? Let's watch anime then." Seeing that Uesugi Kenichi ignored her completely, Misaki Kazusa ran to the TV, pressed a button, and an anime started playing.

Calling it an animation isn't quite accurate, since it's only about 8 minutes long and can only be considered a short film.

"How is it (bbbi)? How is it? What do you think of this animation?" Misaki Kamiigusa looked at Kenichi Uesugi with anticipation.

"It feels pretty good, but it doesn't seem like a complete story. The explosion at the end would have looked better if it had been delayed by about 4 seconds," Uesugi Kenichi commented seriously.

"Really? I also feel that something's not right here. The colors need some adjustments too. Do you think it would be better if it were a bit softer?"

When she started talking about these things, Misaki Kamiigusa gave him a completely different feeling than before. She seemed to be in a working state, talking incessantly to herself.

"I'm saying, you didn't make this animation, did you?" Uesugi Kenichi asked hesitantly after a moment.

"That's right, this is what I made."

Uesugi Kenichi looked over in shock. It really was this person who looked like a mentally challenged child who did it. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Chihiro Sengoku laughed and said, "Don't let Misaki's appearance fool you. She has produced several hugely popular anime all by herself. She did all the setting, storyboarding, animation, and editing herself."

"That's really impressive."

He now knows perfectly well how difficult it is to accomplish all this by himself, and to make it a bestseller is even more difficult.

Looks like he's a genius, or rather, a problem genius?

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Ryunosuke Akasaka, whom she was about to meet, who also seemed to be a troubled youth.

Could it be that?
