In the afternoon, after bidding farewell to everyone, Ichin and Utaha returned to the apartnt building to et his father's friend. Ichin didn't need to worry about spending money; all he had to do was confirm that the property was in good condition and sign his na.
The current apartnt complex already had available units, so they went straight to the third floor to check them out. One of the units was previously owned and had undergone so renovations, so it only needed so rearrangent. The other unit was a fully furnished apartnt, where they could simply keep the necessary furniture and start using it imdiately.
After inspecting both, Ichin made his decision on the spot and went back to the sales center to sign the contract, purchasing the properties. He also finalized the company's registration, keeping the na the sa as planned. Now, Ichin officially owned his own ga studio and would have his team onboard starting tomorrow.
As they left the sales center, Utaha looked at Ichin with an amused expression, "Ichin-kun, your family's wealth is beyond what I imagined."
"It's not that much," Ichin shrugged. "It's all thanks to my parents' business doing well over the years. My family isn't on the sa level as those super-rich people, but they can still afford a couple of properties. I could've used my own inco, but my dad offered to sponsor , so why not save my own money?"
Utaha nodded in understanding, then comnted with a smirk, "Now your new ga can start developnt right away. Just don't get too carried away with a studio full of girls, okay?"
"Co on, give so credit," Ichin shot back, glancing at her. "Besides, I still have school, so I won't be at the studio all the ti. Speaking of which, maybe I should adjust the work schedule. How about taking two days off and working weekends instead? I'll compensate with extra overti pay."
Utaha was montarily speechless. Why not just leave the work to the team? Why does he feel the need to do everything himself? In this regard, she couldn't help but acknowledge how similar Ichin was to Kō Yagami, except that Ichin wasn't obsessed with working overti.
Returning to the apartnt building with keys and docunts in hand, Ichin and Utaha went up to the third floor and opened one of the newly purchased units. Since there was still work to be done in setting things up, they didn't bother changing into indoor slippers.
Ichin took out his phone and began snapping photos of the rooms, which he sent to the newly ford studio group chat.
Ichin: Hey everyone, here are so photos of the studio. Feel free to check them out and share any suggestions for the setup. If your suggestions are good, I'll take them into consideration!
Once the photos were sent, the chat ca alive with enthusiastic discussions. People suggested things like adding extra display shelves for figurines or placing a large TV in the living room for ga testing.
For a ga developnt studio, maintaining a relaxed atmosphere was important. Although Ichin stayed quiet in the chat, he was carefully considering all of their suggestions.
Later in the evening, Ichin finally spoke up in the chat.
Ichin: I've pinned the address. Everyone, co to the studio tomorrow morning to sign the contracts and check out the future work environnt. In the afternoon, let's go shopping for equipnt together. How about we aim to set up the studio within two days and then start working right away?
Ichin's proposal was t with unanimous approval. The team was eager to experience building their studio from scratch, ready to take on the challenge.
After sending the ssage, Ichin let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the hand-drawn pictures on the wall, he revealed a smile filled with anticipation.
"A studio, huh? It feels surreal to finally have one."
After a few minutes of daydreaming, Ichin snapped back to reality, reopened his laptop, and connected his drawing tablet.
"Alright, focus up. Let's continue working on the parts for Slay the Spire!"
Although the studio would soon be operational and the developnt progress of Slay the Spire would pick up, Ichin still intended to contribute as much as he could since this was the first ga he was developing.

With two days left in the holiday, Ichin had no reason to slack off. After eating breakfast, he went downstairs to the studio and waited.
By 9:30 AM, the seven mbers of the team arrived together.
"Oh! Is this the new studio? It looks really nice!"
Haji Shinoda bounced into the living room. "The space is even larger than what we saw in the photos! We can set up all our computers here and work together! Ichin-kun, will this be the office area?"
"Exactly, it is the office area," Ichin replied with a smile. "The space from the living room to the dining area will primarily serve as our workspaces. The kitchen here can be used as a storage room for miscellaneous items, and the dining room and kitchen next door can be for eating and cooking."
Kō Yagami quickly glanced around the living room before darting toward the bedroom.
"I've decided! This will be my bedroom from now on!"
Rin Toyama, who followed closely behind, sighed at his friend's declaration. "Kō, are you really planning to live in the studio?"
"Eh? Not really!"
Kō laughed. "But you see, it's not uncommon to work a bit extra due to developnt tilines. Even though we're a small studio, we still need to have so ti managent."
At this mont, Ichin approached them, smiling as he said, "This room is ant for everyone to rest and recharge. But just to be clear, I personally don't advocate for overti. During the day, it's important to stay focused. Even if we have a schedule, I won't enforce it as strictly as other companies do. Instead of working late during the final developnt phase, I'd prefer everyone to be energetic and dedicated while refining each project."
"Don't worry, Ichin-kun. We've always done things this way," Kō replied, which prompted nods of agreent from the others.
Umiko leaned against the doorfra and said, "An empty room? It's a sha there's no space on the rooftop for a simple shooting range."
"…"
Before long, the group finished checking out both units and quickly drafted so simple plans. Then the lawyer arrived with the finalized contracts. After everyone reviewed them, they signed their nas, officially becoming partners in the studio.
At 10 AM, the renovation crew showed up. Ichin had previously inford the neighboring residents, so there were no issues with the renovation work. They quickly opened up the two units and connected them.
Next ca the overall setup of the studio.
