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

Sato Yuu suddenly burst into laughter.

The person who is destined to be sleepless is Sugino Miki, and the person who is destined to be sleepless is even more so him!

"Sister Sugino, look at me, noble underage, I'm not drunk yet!"

A lowly minor who is already 19 years old but can't even drink a drop of alcohol because of Japan's shitty laws.

With his poor physical condition at the age of 19, he probably wouldn't be able to drink much. He might get drunk and pass out after drinking two or three glasses of sake.

No matter how much he wanted to drink, he reminded himself in his heart that he could not go home drunk and make Qiong worry. No matter how greedy he was, he could only take a small sip. But even then he was still watched by Mochizuki Nanae, and he was chased away by everyone when he asked for wine all night.

But, he wasn't drunk yet.

It's not just about Mochizuki Nanae, it's not just about Sugino Miki, the smooth broadcast of the fourth episode of the Sister Is Not Sister animation is also related to the life and death of Qiong. Now Sato Yu is really very grateful.

Being underage is really awesome, isn't it?

"What can you do if it's just you?"

Miki Sugino was grateful for Sato Yu's kindness for being willing to contribute a bit of her strength to her at such a moment. She looked up at him weakly, and using the last bit of strength in her body to force a bitter smile, she said even more miserably.

However, Sato Yu's voice was still full of excitement.

"I am enough."

It is not to comfort people, but to speak with certainty, to make assurances and to state facts.

Having him is enough.

"..."

The so-called spark of hope should not have been ignited again, but when she heard Sato Yuu's words, Sugino Miki's pupils still lit up uncontrollably.

“What’s the deadline?”

"Before eight o'clock tomorrow night, but because there are still processes such as cutting and coloring, it must be completed before six o'clock at the latest... Ten cards!"

Ten cards a day, it's impossible for the production team to do it with their own manpower, how could they do it?

Almost at the moment she answered Sato Yu, Sugino Miki arbitrarily extinguished the spark of hope and fell into despair again.

"Let the outsourced cards be bad. Anyway, Meifeimei's production has been bad for a long time. Let Hiromi and Ryunosuke be responsible for correcting the original drawings... or just don't correct them. Director Mochizuki should be able to take on two cards. How many cards can the rest of the people complete at most?"

"Without correcting the outsourced original drawings, Hiromi can complete one card by himself, and there is still Tanaka who is free. If someone can finish his part before noon, he may be able to complete another card."

"That means there is a six-card gap, right? It's twelve o'clock in the evening, and there are still eighteen hours left. Leave it to me."

"Eighteen hours, six cards?"

The life-saving straw is right in front of them. If there is anyone who most hopes that Sato Yu can complete five cards within 18 hours, it can only be Sugino Miki, who puts all the responsibility for the crisis on herself.

But even though she was clearly expecting that, Sugino Miki still cried and denied it.

"There's no way anyone could do that."

"An hour ago, Hiromi was calling me a monster."

Six cards in eighteen hours, no one in the entire industry can do it, but Sato Yu is not a human being.

He is a complete painting monster if he turns on the cheat.

"Anyway, as long as we can get moving, it's fine, right? Then I'll make it look more like an outsourcing company than an outsourcing company. There are still 18 hours left, so there's always a way."

"Now, don't waste any more time and leave the storyboard to me, Ms. Sugino. At least fight until the last moment."

"At least, I will stay with you until the last moment."

The boy stretched out his hand to the plump and crying elder sister. Although it was a dark night, his smile was like the sun.

It was clearly an impossible task, but Sato Yu still reached out to her.

Sugino Miki was completely stunned.

Everything in the world seemed to collapse at this moment. Only the warm sun was reflected in her red and swollen eyes. Her body was not driven by herself. Her instinct denied the possibility of saving everything, but she finally reached out her hand without permission.

"Sato?"

she called softly.

"I'm here to save everything!"

"Woo..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Sugino Miki broke out of the car and threw herself at Sato Yuu, pressing him to the ground and burying his head in her chest, just to express the emotion and gratitude that was surging in her heart at the moment.

"Really? I told you not to waste your time."

His entire head was buried in the warm skin, making him almost unable to breathe. Sato You complained in a muffled voice, with some inappropriate playfulness, but it was so soothing.

Volume 26: Chapter Chapter . Slightly Comfortable

You may temporarily believe in hope because of a momentary emotion, but when you calm down again, the feeling of despair will still surge into your heart uncontrollably.

After she pushed Sato Yu to the ground in a fit of rage, she was led into the company building by the hand. Under the brighter lights, her heart was shrouded in darkness, and Sugino Miki was still a little dazed.

"I should be considered your savior, Sister Sugino. How about you promise me a little wish after I finish drawing those six cards?"

While walking up the stairs, Sato Yu edited and sent the apology message to Qiong, then turned back to ask for payment from the dazed Sugino Miki.

The dazed eyes gradually regained some focus. Sugino Miki gritted her teeth, put her hands on her chest and asked.

"Is there really any hope?"

Even now she is still worried about such things. It is really difficult for her to cheer up on her own once her psychological defenses are broken.

Sato Yu scolded her.

"Rather than such questions full of distrust, I would rather hear positive words like "thank you", "keep it up", "I believe in you", and "I will help you realize whatever you wish for."

"Feel sorry......"

"I really don't know what to say to you. Just trust me and be ready to fulfill my wish. It's a deal."

The floor has been reached, Sato Yu pushed the door open and turned on the light, leading the completely silent Sugino Miki to his seat.

"Give me the storyboard."

"Ah."

Sato Yu asked Sugino Miki for the storyboard that she had been holding tightly in her arms, opened the bag, took out the storyboard, and quickly examined it.

The two five-card shots, namely cards 89-94 and 217-222 of the animation, are both "junk" storyboards made by Nanae Mochizuki who cut corners and had a small number of original drawings and a large number of still frames.

“This is asking me to pay back the debt.”

Interestingly, cards 89-94 were the cards that Sato Yu was originally responsible for, which were the parts of the shots that were not completed before he left.

After his return, he used coercion and bribery to exchange the cards from Mochizuki Nanae in order to increase his fame faster. But who would have thought that after a long journey, the five cards returned to his hands. It was really fate's trick.

In the end, he still had to draw erotic pictures.

I have such a strong affinity with erotic pictures, why not try to get into the adult industry one day.

[Breaking news! An underage artist is trying to make a living......]

If such news were to appear on Twitter’s trending searches someday, his fame would probably skyrocket.

A bad reputation is also a reputation, maybe we can really try this...

As his thoughts drifted away, Sato You's eyes suddenly became deeper, and he seemed... a little dazed.

"Sato?"

"Ah? I'm a little confused. Just take these five cards 189-194 and 217, and let others handle the rest."

Sato Yuu was brought back to his senses by Sugino Miki, and after choosing the card, he slapped himself on the face to make himself more alert.

It's not a good sign if your mind wanders while reading storyboards.

Supervising the storyboards returned by the outsourcing company is also a tough job. You have to quickly spot the errors in the drawing and the errors in the action logic, and correct the parts that don't conform to the standard character settings. Some particularly bad parts have to be redrawn.

The whole day today, from eight in the morning to nine in the evening, minus some time for eating and resting, he worked for more than ten hours and then attended a cocktail party. At this moment, Sato Yuuya could clearly feel that he was running out of energy, and waves of sleepiness were coming over him, tempting him to fall asleep.

"There should be energy drinks under Hiromi's desk. Sister Sugino, help me get two bottles out."

"Is it really okay?"

Sugino Miki did as she was told and took out a drink from under the table and handed it to Sato Yuu. Seeing the fatigue on his face that could no longer be concealed, she couldn't help but worry.

"It doesn't matter if it matters or not, I have to do this, right? I have to do my best to get the animation aired."

Sato Yu soothed him as he gulped down the energy drink.

But in fact, although he always acted confident, he was a little scared when he really started painting.

With the [Fast Painting] buff, it takes about four hours to complete a card with high quality. It is not difficult to complete a card in three hours if you give up some quality. It may be even faster if you completely abandon the original painting pride and just paint badly.

But drawing original paintings so quickly was quite exhausting. In the past, he would fall asleep as soon as he got home from overtime. After several days of such high-intensity painting, he had actually accumulated a lot of fatigue both physically and mentally.

So the difficulty now is not whether he can finish the painting within the specified time, but whether he can hold on and not fall down before completing the painting.

I can only resist it with willpower.

"There's still some time until dawn. Sister Sugino, please send a text message to inform everyone of the current predicament so that they can prepare in advance. Then go to sleep. There will be many places that need your coordination tomorrow."

"Do not......"

"I worked so hard to draw the original painting, but because of your mental problems, Sister Sugino, you delayed V editing. I will never forgive you."

I can't draw the original painting, and there is no point in staying up late with him. Now I should choose the way that can improve efficiency the most.

They must have understood the matter and stopped objecting. They pulled out a chair and Sugino Miki lowered her head in Hiromi Amayura's seat, next to Sato Yuu.

In this way, without any other distractions, Sato Yu could concentrate on painting and quickly got into the state, with only the original painting in his eyes.

At this time, Sugino Miki quietly turned her head and lay on the table to stare at Sato Yu's face, which looked even more handsome when he was serious.

He is clearly a young boy, and it is clearly a huge crisis, but looking at his current appearance, he seems not to be so scared anymore.

Sato Yu will save her and save this project.

Thinking and praying in her heart, sleepiness continued to overwhelm her, and Sugino Miki finally closed her eyes.

It's just strange that even though she was under pressure from the crisis of the sky falling down, there was still a sweet smile on her lips.

Since it's Sato-kun who's painting next to me, it's allowed to be a little more relaxed.

Volume 27: Chapter Chapter . Anger

It was already seven o'clock in the morning when she woke up again. Sugino Miki raised her head from the table.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my eyelids, which had been red and swollen from crying last night, began to feel burning.

Without caring about all this, she first looked to her left, at Sato Yu.

The young man was still painting, his shoulders bathed in the glow of the sunset, his back straight, the brush in his hand moving non-stop, his eyes fixed on the drawing paper. Even though his face revealed unconcealable fatigue, he was still focused, so focused that he didn't realize that the person next to him had woken up.

He had been painting all night, which, including yesterday, was a whole day and a night, without stopping.

It was all her fault that Sato Yu had to work so hard...

Miki Sugino wanted to stroke his fluffy hair, hold the tired boy in her arms and sing a lullaby to lull him to sleep, but when she stretched out her hand and was about to touch Sato Yuu, she pulled her arm back as if she had received an electric shock.

One person is needed to complete six cards before 6pm. The burden of whether the animation can be broadcast falls on Sato Yuu, and no one is allowed to disturb the boy who is drawing seriously.

But, 6 calories in 18 hours, even without eating, drinking, urinating or sleeping, is it really possible for a human being to accomplish such a feat?

Sugino Miki looked down in a daze, and cast her eyes on Sato Yu's desk. Right above a pile of original drawings that had been sent back, there were two stacks of completed original drawings neatly arranged. Add to that the already thick stack of original drawings next to Sato Yu's hand...

"Sigh~"

Sugino Miki couldn't help but gasp.

Overnight, no, in just over six hours, Sato Yu had completed nearly two and a half cards of original drawings!

He picked up the original painting on the top and looked through it very gently. The heroine, the hero, the ah-hey-faced teacher, the beautiful girl light novel writer Himuro Toru...

The main characters of the animation "Mei Fei Mei" have exquisite images of each character on the drawing paper, the composition is flawless, and the character movements are wonderful and coherent. Even a few erotic pictures are drawn with unparalleled eroticism, which are extremely lustful and gorgeous, making people reluctant to take their eyes away.

The quality of their paintings is higher than that of ordinary original artists, but their painting speed is even faster than those outsourcing companies that produce shoddy original paintings!

Could it be that the God of Animation was possessed in his body? In an instant, such an absurd thought flashed through Sugino Miki's mind.

But if you don't think in this way, it's really impossible to explain Sato Yu's amazing, miraculous painting talent.
