The last ti Kō appeared in front of players was quite a long ti ago. If Ichin rembered correctly, it was when she appeared once during the livestream promotion for Persona.
After that, she completely refused to show up again. Whether it was livestream events or interviews with various gaming magazines, she never participated.
And this ti, Ichin had finally found an opportunity to make her appear again.
After all, she was one of the company's representative figures. She couldn't just stay hidden inside the company working forever.
Looking at Kō sitting at her workstation looking gloomy, Ichin said with a smile, "Once in a while, you should go out and let the players understand what kind of people are developing the gas they love. Isn't that right?"
Resting her chin in both hands, Kō said with a skeptical expression, "I think you guys just want to see go on stage. There's no other reason!"
"Hmm~~~ If you want to say that, that's not wrong either. But no matter what, as one of the company's executives, you should attend important occasions like this."
Ichin patted Kō's shoulder.
"So stop feeling so depressed about it. Since it's already decided, it won't change. Just prepare well afterward. It's not that difficult."
Then he ignored Kō's eye roll with a smile and headed toward the programming departnt.
Kō stuck her tongue out at his back before turning around and throwing herself toward Rin.
"Ugh~~~ Rin, do I really have to go?"
Rin hugged Kō with a smile and said gently, "Everyone voted together to decide this, you know. Kō, don't be like that. Just go enjoy the event when the ti cos. Besides, the livestream event won't be long. It'll be less than an hour. It'll be over very quickly."
"Fine…"
Soon after, the news that Kō Yagami and Rin Toyama would be accompanying Ichin to the Tokyo Ga Show spread throughout the company.
Everyone knew that aside from Ichin, the other developnt team leaders rarely appeared at public events. Now that they were finally going to show up, everyone was extrely excited.
Rin was fine, but after seeing the expectant looks from everyone, Kō only beca more and more nervous.
Well, hopefully Rin could calm her down.
During dinner, Utaha and Yukino, who hadn't co to the company today, also heard about the news.
Utaha smiled and said, "Kō hates showing herself in public so much, yet you all still chose her. It seems like the livestream will definitely be interesting that day."
After taking a bite of rice, Ichin looked at Utaha and Yukino.
"On the day of the Tokyo Ga Show, do you want to co to the venue with ?"
The two exchanged glances and shook their heads at the sa ti. Yukino said, "We won't go to the venue. Watching the livestream at ho is enough."
Utaha nodded as well.
"Exactly. You won't be there the whole day anyway, right? I was thinking that maybe we could invite Aoba and the others over that day and watch the livestream together at ho. Now that we've moved, we don't have to squeeze together like before."
"Sure, you can decide that yourselves."
Just as Utaha said, now that they had moved into a large villa, inviting friends over to hang out had beco very easy.
Whether it was holding a barbecue party in the backyard or watching the Tokyo Ga Show livestream together in the ho theater room, there was more than enough space.
This year's Tokyo Ga Show was scheduled for Saturday, September 15.
The timing was excellent, since it fell on a weekend. That ant both the number of offline attendees and the number of viewers watching the livestream would reach extrely high levels.
After dinner, Ichin went into the studio and began his usual planning work.
Before starting, he glanced at the calendar on the desk.
"Today's September 6th. Nine days left. Over the next few days, the promotional PV for Monster Train and the new content PVs for GARO and the other gas can all be finished. Next week everyone can relax a little."
The physical sample copies of Tales of Berseria had already arrived, and they had been sent out to various gaming dia outlets for preview and review.
After the Berseria team completely finished developnt in August, Ichin gave them a week-long vacation. In the final stage, they only needed to continue looking for bugs and fixing them step by step. Of course, it would be even better if the review dia could also report any bugs they encountered during gaplay, allowing further optimization.
Opening the docunt, Ichin began working with a smile on his face.
"Not bad. This year's main tasks are basically finished."
Looking at the nearly completed developnt plan for Bloodborne, Ichin thought aloud.
"Hmm~~~ Developnt for Bloodborne can start at the end of September. The Ga Awards begins in mid-December, so that's about two and a half months. That should be enough."
Nodding to himself, Ichin continued working through the night.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that the chat software on his computer received a ssage from Utaha saying Haruno had returned ho. Only then did Ichin stop working and head downstairs to check on Haruno, who had just co back from overti work.
Recently, Haruno had been working overti every few days. Coming ho at nine like today actually counted as early. A few tis she hadn't gotten off work until nearly eleven.
As soon as he went downstairs, Ichin saw Haruno sitting in the living room with her head down, eating.
"Why are you getting off work so late again? Is there really that much work?"
"Mmmph!"
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Haruno said,
"Of course there is. Didn't we acquire that piece of land earlier? Construction has reached a certain stage recently. Now there's all sorts of follow-up work like construction schedule analysis, additional funding investnts, and so on. A lot of things need to be discussed in etings. It's not like we've never acquired land and built on it before, but this project is really huge. The investnt cost is higher than any of our previous projects, so everything has to be carefully calculated."
"Hmm… that really sounds tough."
Ichin didn't know much about the real estate industry, but he understood that working this hard ant the land would bring Haruno enormous profits in the future. Otherwise, she wouldn't be working so diligently day and night.
"So how long will you have to keep working overti like this?"
"Hehe, for now I don't have to anymore."
Haruno picked up a piece of braised pork and said happily,
"Since I stayed so late today, I arranged everything for the upcoming tasks. Tomorrow is Friday, so I gave myself and the people who worked overti today a day off. With Saturday and Sunday added in, we get a three-day break to catch our breath."
Then she looked up eagerly.
"Hey, should we go out and have so fun on Saturday? I haven't relaxed in a long ti!"
"I'm fine with anything."
Ichin shrugged and looked at Utaha and Yukino.
"What do you two think?"
Utaha thought for a mont before saying, "Sure. Haruno-nee, you can sleep in properly on Saturday morning. Then in the afternoon we'll go out and have fun, and we'll eat dinner outside that night."
"No problem. It's settled!"
