How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

Even if you are accused of being greedy, even if you are scolded for being black-hearted and exploitative, even if you are said to be disgusting and despicable, you have to have no shame.

However, there was only one life-saving straw right in front of her, so she still wanted to try to grab it.

After flipping through the contacts, the call was finally made and was answered a moment later.

"Good evening, is this Sato-kun..."

Volume 20: Chapter Chapter . Companions

"Director Mochizuki? Uh~, what's the matter with you calling?"

The call was connected and Sato Yu answered.

It seemed that he stretched while picking up the phone. There was a hint of laziness in his voice, mixed with a hint of sleepiness.

Although it was impossible to see the other person's appearance with her own eyes, Mochizuki Nanae could more or less imagine it.

After getting off work on time, he goes home to his sister's warm bed with soft food and soft meals, and lies lazily on the bed with his eyes drooping, letting the sleepiness wash over him. How comfortable Sato Yu must be now.

He had done his job perfectly and deserved this wonderful leisure time.

"Well, um... sorry about me yelling at you in the studio this afternoon."

It's not so easy to say what you really want to say. Holding the phone with flickering eyes, biting her lower lip, stammering, Mochizuki Nanae first apologized for what happened in the afternoon.

After seeing the original drawing of the first card, she knew she was extremely wrong, but there were too many people in the company at that time and she couldn't bring herself to do it. Now there are few people in the office, and she has to apologize to the original drawing brother who was unfairly accused.

Of course, it was just a verbal apology. She wouldn't kneel down or expose her private parts. She had to have some shame!

"Haha, normally you should be angry to see me like this, but this is pretty good, right? My original painting?"

"It's not just good, it's a work of art! So beautiful that I can't help it..."

She is simply a painting fanatic. When it comes to painting, she can temporarily put aside all the previous entanglements in her heart. Mochizuki Nanae praised loudly and excitedly, and she was so excited that she almost spoke without thinking again.

If someone says he wants to kiss him in front of him, the relationship between the director and the original artist will probably be over (laughs).

He had no idea that Nanae Mochizuki's usually icy JK face was now glowing with an alluring pink color, but the sudden drop in her voice was enough to arouse Sato Yu's interest, and he couldn't help but ask.

"What can't you bear?"

"..."

Mochizuki Nanae remained silent. She wouldn't say anything!

At this point in the conversation, she released the great doubts in her heart.

"How come Sato-kun can draw such excellent and perfect original paintings, even though he has only been in the industry for more than two years and was only doing assistant work before that?"

"Why..."

This time, it was Sato You's turn to ponder.

What was the reason? He couldn't really tell Mochizuki Nanae about the system, so he had no choice but to use the differences between people to cover it up.

"Maybe it's my talent, I feel like I'm very suitable for the animation industry."

After saying this, Sato Yuu felt himself blushing, with embarrassment and a slight sense of guilt filling his heart. Mochizuki Nanae, who was feeling a little hot, quickly felt her cheeks cool down, and even her nose felt sore.

"Talent... huh?"

He has been exposed to painting since childhood, and has been working as an original artist in the animation industry for eight years. However, the moment he saw Sato Yu's original paintings, he felt ashamed and even developed inappropriate jealousy.

After seeing the original drawings of those two cards, Mochizuki Nanae clearly realized the huge gap in talent between herself and Sato Yu.

She should have known all this deeply in her heart, but when Sato Yu said it lightly, she couldn't stop the pain in her heart from welling up and tears welled up in her eyes.

I am envious, jealous and resentful. I don't want to believe it but I have to face it and admit it.

But I am unwilling to accept it, so unwilling that I want to die!

He is indeed a bit of a genius at chatting, or maybe an abnormal existence like Sato Yu has a special effect on a special person like Mochizuki Nanae who has a strong obsession with painting.

In short, in one sentence, Sato Yu kept Mochizuki Nanae silent for a long time.

"that......"

"The beauty of the part where the sister tilts her head is extraordinary. When I first saw it, I was almost sucked in. How did Sato-kun come up with that idea and draw such a picture? Was it natural?"

Feeling the awkwardness in the atmosphere, Sato Yu tried to remedy the situation, but by then Mochizuki Nanae had already managed to recover from her loss and continued to ask various questions about painting.

She is the kind of girl who will get frustrated, feel lost for her own weakness and jealous of others' superb painting skills, but at the same time she will never admit defeat. She will constantly break free from her own dark mood, constantly ask others for advice, enrich herself with knowledge, and constantly pursue higher painting skills.

Hearing Mochizuki Nanae's question, Sato Yu subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

To know that I don't have to worry about upsetting the other person, and for the good memories that were brought back, memories that were just acquired yesterday.

“Maybe there is a perfect model around me.”

"model?"

"Well, model, just yesterday, my sister Qiong also showed that kind of cute and adorable smile that makes your heart beat wildly and you can't stop falling for her, but she forced it out, but it was against her will, and after you see through her true feelings, you will feel even more sad and painful.

I saw it, so I drew it and gave it to the heroine Nagami Ryoka, who said something against her will to her brother Nagami Yuu and smiled against her will. "

When writing a novel, the creator's emotions are hidden in the words typed on the keyboard. The same is true when drawing original paintings, and the same is true for the characters drawn.

Although he did not like the animation industry and was forced to draw, Sato Yu did inadvertently and naturally develop feelings for the heroine he created, the heroine of a cheesy light novel, Nagami Ryoka.

I like a younger sister but she is not my younger sister. The younger sister in the animation is not my younger sister but she is also my younger sister, so I like my younger sister and I also like my younger sister.

The so-called creators are probably those foolish guys who unconsciously confuse fantasy and reality and cannot distinguish the boundary between the two dimensions.

"I'm emotionally invested."

"Probably so."

"That's great, Satou-kun."

Her eyelids had already drooped quietly at some point, and she was closing her eyes with the microphone of her cell phone turned on loudly. The communication with Sato Yu was tense, and she felt guilty and jealous. But at this moment, with her legs resting on the swivel chair and talking, Mochizuki Nanae felt unexpectedly comfortable.

Although their painting skills differ, Sato Yu is the same kind of person as her, someone who will pour emotions into characters, even a character like Meifeimei in a muddy project.

This made Mochizuki Nanae, who had been nervous, tired and haggard for more than two months, finally relax her heart, which had been clenched by pressure, and she felt a long-lost sense of relief.

Responsibilities, obligations, and the possibility of continuing to be active in the industry as an original artist, all of these made Mochizuki Nanae dare not relax. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the blood, trying her best to support the Sister Not Sister project to move forward.

But in the final analysis, what supports her most is still her love for her work and her wish to raise her own ugly girl "I Like My Sister But Not My Sister" up.

But apart from her, everyone else was under a tight deadline, overwhelmed and complaining about the heavy workload. They also sneered at the poor picture quality, showing disgust and contempt, and just forced themselves to do the work for the sake of the salary.

Although I know it is not everyone's fault, every time I see the random lines and rough quality of the collected drawing cards, I always feel a little lonely in my heart.

But now...

Holding the phone against her chest, Mochizuki Nanae smiled gently and a little foolishly.

companion.

With Sato-kun around, I don't feel so lonely anymore.

Volume 21: Chapter Chapter . Community of Shared Destiny

"Your voice sounds much gentler."

The change in tone can be clearly felt. Sato Yuu has a straightforward personality and he speaks directly about the change he noticed.

gentle?

Mochizuki Nanae opened her eyes, and her gentle expression gradually became gloomy.

She is a cold and black-hearted supervisor who only cares about the deadline and tries her best to exploit the original artist. She is not gentle at all.

"I'm sorry, Satou-kun."

Once again, Mochizuki Nanae apologized to Sato Yu.

"You have something to tell me."

"Well, it's about the working hours. Although it's greedy and disgusting, could you please leave a little later every day?"

The conversation was discontinuous, the voice was low and lacked confidence, and it said such greedy, disgusting, mean and inferior words that even Mochizuki Nanae herself felt nauseous.

What is she doing and talking about?

Has she become the kind of person who imposes her own desires on others and begs for pity?

She kept questioning herself in her heart, but even so, Mochizuki Nanae suppressed the discomfort in her heart and forced herself to continue speaking.

It's fine for her to be a bad person, as long as the Sister-Not-Sister Project can continue.

"Everyone is working overtime, and if someone suddenly leaves too early, they will feel dissatisfied and feel it is unfair, which will dampen their enthusiasm for work."

It's their own business if they can't complete the same workload. What does it have to do with Sato Yu? How dare they use such a thing and such words to kidnap him!

"And there are still quite a few cards left to be distributed. Sato-kun, you draw very quickly, so you should be able to finish the cards on hand early. If you can work overtime, you can take over some of the remaining cards."

If you draw faster, you should do more work and draw more cards, because someone as capable as Sato Yuu should bear greater responsibilities.

After all, what am I talking about?

Her heart was constantly whipped, and the words she said were even more disgusting. Mochizuki Nanae clenched her fists, holding them so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she continued to expound on her shameless reasons.

"In fact, the completion of the Sister Not Sister project is also related to my..."

Reasons are not enough, more is needed, something more that can impress Sato Yu.

Since he is my partner, then that's fine. I can tell him about my difficulties behind the plan, try to gain more sympathy from him, and ask him to accept my unreasonable requests.

"Well, I will work overtime. I ran away once, and now that I'm back I really need to work hard on the project."

"Eh?"

"Are you not happy that I agreed?"

"Happy, no, of course I am happy, but why......"

He should have spent more time talking and giving more reasons that might impress the other party before he could get a reluctant agreement. However, before he could tell the secret he was hiding, Sato Yuu agreed first. He was very happy and agreed without any reluctance or embarrassment.

She even temporarily forgot about the joy, and felt that Sato Yu's answer was incredible.

"The construction period is so tight that if we relax a little, everything will be over. I originally planned to work overtime this time, like everyone else, until 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening. I was even prepared to spend the night in the company in extreme cases."

"Eh?"

"I'm a little hurt by this surprise. I'm also a very responsible person, maybe. Haha. Anyway, I just had a special reason to leave work early today."

Working overtime, working, preferably without stopping, to save the Sister Not Sister Project from the brink of life and death, inserting wonderful shots with a strong personal style into this terrible work, and relying on the contrast of other garbage pictures to continuously increase his popularity as the original artist.

Although he has no interest in animation production, in order to cure Qiong's terminal illness, Sato Yu has already prepared to squeeze out all his energy and devote it all to the animation "Sister, Not Sister".

There is only one day, after today, he wants the black-hearted supervisor Mochizuki Nanae to cry and beg him not to work overtime.

This is what Mochizuki Nanae does not know, it is the enlightenment of Sato Yu.

"A special reason?"

Confused and puzzled, Mochizuki Nanae came to her senses and suppressed her surprise to make her tone calmer, but she still asked.

"that is......"

"Brother, I've finished my shower, and the animation of SSSS.Gridman has started. As promised, come out and watch it with me!"

Just as Sato Yu was about to answer, Qiong's voice filled with joy and vitality penetrated the thin door and the distance of dozens of kilometers, ringing clearly in Mochizuki Nanae's ears.

"You're talking nonsense. It's only time for the opening theme song. Wait for me and I'll be out."

Sato You answered loudly with a smile, his words were somewhat playful, and the harmonious relationship between the brother and sister was clearly revealed in just two sentences.

With her brows bent, Mochizuki Nanae's expression became even softer.

She probably knew the special reason.

"What a lovely reason."

"Well, I made an appointment with my sister before I left this morning, and I will go home as soon as possible today."

"That......"

She had just said a lot of disgusting things, and now it was a heartwarming moment between siblings. Not wanting to be more annoying, and thinking that what had been promised had been promised, Mochizuki Nanae was ready to hang up the phone.

But Sato Yu gave her more special treatment.

"Because it's the request of my cute sister, I have to go out and accompany her as soon as possible, but the JK supervisor is also very cute, so I can probably give you about three minutes?"
