Uchiha Ryo looked at this professional woman who seemed somewhat unfriendly towards him. "Are you... the game's author?"
Kosaka Akane: "No! Like you, I am someone who sees the future potential of this game. And Hiratsuka Shizuka, you old maid, do you really think a high school student can defeat me?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes. "Look who's talking!"
Kosaka Akane: "Heh, I did it for my career. Unlike someone who ran away from home to become a teacher~"
Uchiha Ryo remained silent. Why don't you two just fight? He'd bet on Hiratsuka-sensei to win.
"Wow, isn't this Ryo-kohai? I didn't expect the other person who wants to buy the game to be you. But I'm very fair, you know."
From the very back, Yukinoshita Haruno walked in, her arm around a young woman with short, light brown hair.
Yukinoshita Haruno: "The game's author is here, but she's a bit socially anxious, so she asked me to come along and help her sell it."
"Hello everyone... My name is Maki Ryuko. I'm the creator of this galge, 'Maiden's Love Level'."
The girl's voice was quiet. After saying one sentence, she ran to the corner next to Hoshino Miyako. The two socially anxious people naturally gathered together.
Hiratsuka Shizuka also found a random place to sit. "The rest is up to you guys."
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and looked at Kosaka Akane and Uchiha Ryo.
"Well then, you two buyers, please do your best to state your advantages and impress me. Ryuko-san has already given me the right to sell this game."
.....
Kosaka Akane, founder of a professional game production circle. Her debut work during her university days sold 1 million copies in half a year. She was a professional female-oriented doujin author with both fame and skill.
It was normal for someone with such talent to discover the huge potential of this kind of game. But.....
Uchiha Ryo looked at Ryuko in the corner. The three-tomoe under his special colored contacts had already allowed him to see many different things.
I see. So this is what Nyanko-sensei called... a youkai who likes the human world?
After all, in this world where youkai and humans coexisted, even if the onmyoji and the youkai leader of that time had signed a non-aggression pact, there were still youkai who longed for the human world. They would disguise themselves as humans and then go to experience the short life of a human.
Kosaka Akane: "In that case, I'll be direct. Miss Yukinoshita, you have the right to decide on the sale of this game build. Then let's set a price. How about I offer three million first?"
"Also, I heard that Miss Ryuko has done everything by herself from the beginning. That Hoshino person over there only helped you with the costume design. To be able to complete such a game independently!"
"Hey, you're a game author, so don't hide. Won't you come and chat with us? Do you want to join my circle? With your ability, you can definitely shine!"
Yukinoshita Haruno cleared her throat, and the smile on her face cooled a few degrees.
"Miss Kosaka, I'm sorry, but Ryuko-san has already handed over the right to sell the game to me. All you need to do now is to impress me. That's all."
Kosaka Akane turned her head to look at Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Well... if our circle gets this game, we will definitely make it the most perfect galge. We have a professional team and nearly ten years of game production experience. Selling it to us is definitely the best choice. So I'll offer three million for your game build and copyright."
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, then looked at Uchiha Ryo.
"Now it's your turn, Ryo-kohai. What can you offer to buy the game's copyright?"
Uchiha Ryo: "I'll also offer three million."
Yukinoshita Haruno stroked her chin. "The same price. This is really a tough decision."
Kosaka Akane's eyes widened.
"What kind of joke are you making? Our professional team can better realize the potential of this game. Doesn't the author want her game to become a masterpiece in the ACG circle!"
Yukinoshita Haruno still looked at Kosaka Akane with a smile.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to say that to the author. I am a businesswoman. The only thing that can move me is profit."
Kosaka Akane gritted her teeth. Three million was already the upper limit of her psychological expectation. But she calmed down and looked at Maki Ryuko not far away.
"Miss Ryuko, you also hope that your game can go from its current obscurity to being known nationwide, right? Just hand over the game copyright to us! Your years of hard work won't be treated as trash!"
Ryuko didn't speak, but looked up at Kosaka Akane, then turned her gaze to Uchiha Ryo.
Uchiha Ryo: "Miss Ryuko, do you like small animals? I'm very fond of foxes, you know."
Maki Ryuko: "!!!"
So scary. Humans are so scary—
Ryuko looked at Uchiha Ryo, who was smiling at her. What did he mean by that? Could it be!
["Little fox, you wouldn't want your true identity to be revealed, would you?"]
It must be! Ah.... why is the human world so dangerous? By the way, who is he? Could he be a human youkai exterminator?
.....
The result was very unexpected. Because everyone present, including Hiratsuka Shizuka, thought that Kosaka Akane would be the final victor.
But.... Maki Ryuko chose Uchiha Ryo. And Yukinoshita Haruno, as a businesswoman, also looked curiously at this junior who had a close relationship with Yukino.
Why? Uchiha Ryo had just said that he liked small animals, and it instantly made Ryuko-san make her choice?
Kosaka Akane suppressed her anger and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she didn't forget to look at Uchiha Ryo and say.
"I hope the game you make won't be the kind of trash that's unplayable. I'll be waiting for your team to produce this game."
Uchiha Ryo cleaned his ear.
"Shut up, old hag."
Old... hag?
Kosaka Akane's whole body trembled. She looked like she was in her early twenties, right? Compared to that Yukinoshita Haruno, people would probably think they were the same age!
"You...!"
But Uchiha Ryo, after speaking, paid her no more mind. He stood up and said.
"Thank you very much, Miss Maki, for selling the game to me. If you don't mind, dinner is on me tonight. Yukinoshita-senpai and Hiratsuka-neechan can join us."
[Hiratsuka Shizuka's affinity has increased—G-Points +60]
Kosaka Akane glared at Uchiha Ryo. "That woman is the same age as me! Why does he call her 'neechan' and me 'old hag'!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her legs. "Ohoho, it's just the impotent rage of a loser. Let's go, Uchiha, and Haruno, and Ryuko-kohai. This meal is on me!"
