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

Gazing intently at Qiong, Sato You applied the cream carefully on her lips, drop by drop, and his mind was actually immersed in the application.

"Does it look good?"

Qiong was shy and timid, and could no longer bear being stared at too seriously. Her voice was trembling when she asked the question, and it was so soft that it seemed to break people's bones.

Only then did he suddenly wake up, his eyes swaying with the moist and bright red lips of Qiong, and those bright, watery eyes full of expectation, his heat rushed straight to Sato You's cheek, making his nasal cavity hot.

"Good-looking, good-looking."

He turned his blushing cheek away as if escaping, acknowledged Qiong's beauty and nodded, and only then did Sato You finally wake up.

Children grow up so fast.

Yesterday, Qiong was still the childish girl in his eyes, but now she is one year older and more glamorous and charming, moving people's hearts and his soul.

Volume 75: Chapter Chapter . Auspicious Words

For dinner, we had Sukiyaki, a very common, unremarkable home-cooked dish.

It was Qiong's request. She rejected Sato Yu's suggestion to take her to the Wagyu barbecue restaurant that Sugino Miki strongly recommended. She stubbornly chose such a simple dinner.

On the one hand, she is sensible and wants to save more money, on the other hand, she must be reminiscing about the past.

In the past, whenever there was a happy event, the Sato family would get together, and the dish they ate the most and enjoyed the most was Sukiyaki.

This year, even though there were only the brother and sister sitting at the table, they still laughed a lot.

Bitterness is yesterday, from now on there will only be laughter, and that’s how it should be.

"Would you like some more takoyaki?"

After finishing their meal, they went to worship. They didn't order much Sukiyaki, so they both left some food in their stomachs for the delicious food from the stalls in the streets near Meiji Jingu Shrine.

After having apple candies and crepes, Sato Yu also asked Qiong if she wanted some takoyaki.

The answer was affirmative, so holding Qiong's little hand tightly, the two of them went to the takoyaki stall again.

"Sato!"

The New Year is about to arrive, and there are especially many people coming and going in Hatsumode. There are especially many customers near the stalls serving snacks. Sato Yu has placed his order but is still waiting when he hears a surprise call.

He was very familiar with the person who shouted in surprise. It was production manager Miki Sugino. Beside her, her best friend Nanae Mochizuki was waving at them with shining eyes.

"What a coincidence, you guys are here to worship too. Sister Sato is here too. She's wearing a really beautiful outfit!"

"The kimono fits my sister's body very well. It's so cute!"

In order to match his beautiful sister who had dressed up carefully, Sato Yuya dressed himself up before going out today, showing his true Tokyo Ikemachi style.

But they didn't care about that and completely ignored Sato Yu. They ran over and the two beauties praised the little beauty of the Sato family highly, and their words were full of joy.

The way those two eyes were shining...if Sato Yu wasn't around, these two guys would probably have bitten Qiong's face a few more times.

"Happy New Year. You two are dressed very beautifully today. You are already beautiful. After resting for such a long time, you look even more beautiful."

Although he had been in Neon for several months, the Chinese people's speaking habits had not changed. Sato You praised the two girls' beauty very naturally, which made them blush.

Then, he successfully earned a cold stare from his little one.

The small hand clenched in Sato Yu's palm suddenly tightened. Qiong secretly criticized Sato Yu's foul language and called him a smooth-talking scumbag!

"Sister Sugino, hello Sister Mochizuki..."

Even though she cursed in her heart, she still had to observe social etiquette. Shang Qiong never lags behind in this regard. She smiled sweetly and greeted the two of them, and was again met with a round of exclamations of "so cute, so cute".

Maybe Sugino Miki and Mochizuki Nanae didn't plan to buy takoyaki at first, but Sato Yuu...well, the Sato brothers and sisters were here, so they also thought about eating it.

So one person ordered another portion, and while waiting for it to be made, a few people chatted.

“It’s so relaxing to be away from animation production. I slept in for a few days in a row, but I’m used to the tense feeling. Now that I’m free, I feel a little empty.

What about Sato? I think he will continue to make animations in the future. "

She is a real animation fanatic. Even at this time when the New Year is approaching, when she met Sato Yu on the road, after a few greetings, Mochizuki Nanae still wanted to talk about things related to animation production.

After the conclusion of Sister Not Sister, the last episode may not be perfect, but it definitely perfectly met Sato Yu's expectations. After conveying his feelings and gaining rave reviews from his sister Sora, will Sato Yu continue to make animations in the future?

Since the production team disbanded, Nanae Mochizuki has been worried about this matter during the few days of rest.

After all, the agreement between the brother and sister has been fulfilled by the end of the final episode. Sato Yu has indeed presented the best animation in the world to Sora Aoi. If he considers Sora Aoi next, Sato Yu should work hard to make money.

As for producing animations and being responsible for original painting...ha, the pill in the industry is still the same old story.

"Supervisor Mochizuki really hasn't changed at all."

With a slight sigh, unexpectedly, Sato Yu said something that made both Mochizuki Nanae and Sugino Miki feel at ease.

“I will continue to make animations.”

But while speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Qiong's face, and after finding that she had no intention of objecting, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Sato Yu added:

“But I won’t stay in P8 any more.”

She completed "Sister, Not Sister" under a very tight schedule. Although she is only 8 years old and still a new supervisor, Nanae Mochizuki's work ability has been thoroughly recognized. From now on, P company should try hard to retain her and continue to let her serve as the supervisor of new works.

As for Miki Sugino, as a production manager, she would not leave P8 easily, so what Sato Yu said was equivalent to telling them clearly that everyone has their own dreams, and they should be wonderful in their own way, and they should help each other and look forward to meeting at the top.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Sato Yu has any opinion on the two of them or doesn't want to work with them. It's just that P8 is a terrible animation production company. Most of the scripts they take on are cheesy and lightly adapted and they are seriously lacking in budget, so they can only make cheap animations, which really doesn't meet Sato Yu's needs.

He pursued fame and fortune, and after becoming well-known in the industry, he could no longer tolerate such shabby small workshops.

"Say something like that...Sato, don't you know the content of the bet between the supervisor and his family? Supervisor, why are you... wuwu."

Just like how they had concealed Qiong's illness from each other before, no matter how good their relationship was, when it came to particularly important privacy, the news might not be able to circulate.

Before this, Sugino Miki always thought that Mochizuki Nanae had already told Sato Yu about the reasons why she insisted on creating the girl who was not a girl. Now, after hearing Sato Yu's words and tasting the meaning behind them, she realized that Mochizuki Nanae had never told him anything at all.

She was startled and was about to tell the whole story, but was quickly covered by Mochizuki Nanae.

"That matter hasn't even been finalized yet. Let's wait until it's finalized after the New Year before we talk about it."

Burying her head in Sugino Miki's ear, Mochizuki Nanae whispered.

Sato Yuu naturally didn't hear clearly what was said, but combined with the video posted by the up-loader [Yanagiya Makoto takes you to watch animation] about the problem of Mei Feimei's construction period, he still had some guesses in his mind.

It was not appropriate to ask too many questions about this kind of thing. The takoyaki had just been made, and it could be seen that Qiong had already wanted to leave, so Sato Yu said goodbye to the two of them.

"Then..."

"Would you like to go to the shrine together? We just happened to meet, so the four of us can chat, line up together, and celebrate the New Year together."

While opening her mouth, Sugino Miki eagerly expressed her desire to be together. Her face was red. She was clearly a plump and mature beauty. But at this moment, she was very cute. And beside her, after hearing what she said, Mochizuki Nanae's mouth corners curled up a little, showing her anticipation.

"this......"

After hesitating for a while and feeling the sudden force in his hand, Sato Yu received the signal and chose to refuse.

"No, it's a rare New Year's Eve, so I won't bother you."

After she said that, she could immediately see the obvious disappointment on Sugino Miki's face, while Mochizuki Nanae's face remained unchanged but she made a rolling movement on her toes, and they fled with Qiong and Sato Yu.

"My brother's refusal was not clear at all, and his reason was terrible!"

"I'm just not very good at talking."

"My brother is really cunning, as he is not very good at speaking when he should, but he speaks unexpectedly when he shouldn't."

"Where's the cunning thing about this?"

Sato Yu didn't think it through and acted quite innocent when Qiong accused him of always being "flirtatious" and saying many tempting words unconsciously but only cared about the details.

Oh, this is where he is most cunning.

His moral standards do not allow him to tease multiple women at the same time, but unconscious strategies do not count!

To some extent, Sato Yu is indeed bad.

With a proud humour, Qiong did not dwell on the bad side of her brother, but happily ran to the end of the worship team.

"By the way, why don't you come with Ms. Sugino and Director Mochizuki? They really care about you and helped me a lot during the animation production process."

"As for New Year's visit to the shrine, I still want to monopolize my brother all to myself."

"Then why did you invite Miss Mita?"

"Sister Chiharu is different from these two sisters. I know her inside and out."

In response to his brother's question, Qiong chuckled, then lowered his head after laughing, and a look of loneliness flashed across Qiong's face again.

If not...even the exception of Chiharu Oden wouldn't exist.

"Anyway, I just like Chiharu-sister more. Brother, you have to treat her well in the future."

"Of course it is. Miss Chiharu has helped us so much."

"You still don't understand even after talking about this, stupid brother."

"Why are you stupid again?"

"Baka~Baka~"

"You girl, look at me..."

"Haha, stop scratching, it's so itchy!"

After a burst of laughter, there was another boring wait.

It's a pity that there are not many places in Tokyo where you can have a Hatsumode. The waiting line at Meiji Jingu Shrine is too long. As the New Year approaches, the line is still long.

If you fail to pay your respects nearby, it means that the New Year bell is about to ring.

This was something that was expected, and it had often been the case in previous years, so the two were not annoyed. Amid the joyful countdown cheers from the people around them, they looked at each other.

"Dome."

"elder brother."

Calling out, both of them took out the things they had prepared earlier from their pockets.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Sato Yu had already asked for an amulet, and Qiong also held an amulet in her hand. Thinking that she couldn't leave the hospital and didn't have the time to ask for one tonight, she should have asked the nurse Chiharu Oda to prepare it long ago.

They were of the same mind, and when they saw the amulet in each other's hands, they were both stunned, and then they laughed.

At this time, Dong~Dong~Dong~~~the bell symbolizing the New Year officially rang.

Sato Yu handed the amulet in his hand to Qiong. It was a amulet for praying for health.

Qiong also entrusted her amulet to Sato Yu, which was a good-luck amulet.

"In good health."

Sato Yumichi.

【New Year progress.】

Dome Road.

Sato Yu held Qiong tightly in his arms.

"Everything goes well."

【Smooth Sailing】

“Always smile”

【Dragon Horse Spirit】

“Peace and Joy”

【good luck】

They prepared so many auspicious words, their hearts were flowing, the brother and sister looked at each other, and then they said them in unison.

"Brother/Qiong, all the best."

"Ha, what should we do?"

The job-hunting results of the young boy Sato Yu were not ideal.

His painting skills are outstanding, comparable to those of masters who have been in the industry for 20 to 30 years. He is incredibly fast and hardworking. He can do the work of four people and has an amazing resume. He did the original painting for the first time he participated in animation production, and successfully helped Fensaku reverse its reputation, raising the score to seven points.

And more importantly, he is only nineteen years old. He is undoubtedly a genius and a monster with a bright future.
