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

"Hey, let's not talk business yet. I came here to invite you to make animations together. Although Mei Fei Mei has reversed some of the reputations, it's still a pity. Let's do it again, Sato!"

"This... I said I would not continue to draw in P8."

He suddenly thought of the fact that he had previously refused the offer from P8 to be the supervisor of the new work. Thinking that the blame might now be placed on Mochizuki Nanae, Sato Yu looked embarrassed and waved his hand to refuse.

However, Mochizuki Nanae also shook her head at the same time.

“It’s not P8, it’s Pandia!”

"Pandia?"

There was confusion in his eyes. He had clearly visited all the major animation companies in Tokyo during this period, but he had no impression of the Pandia Animation Company that Mochizuki Nanae mentioned.

At this time, she took out a business card from her wallet and handed it to Sato Yu. Mochizuki Nanae's eyes were bright, and there was a moving light flashing in them.

"Pandia, the full moon goddess in Greek mythology, is the animation company I founded!"

Volume 78: Chapter Chapter . Conflict

Pandia, translated as Pandya, is the daughter of the moon goddess Selene and the goddess of the full moon.

Considering Mochizuki's last name and the fact that Nanae Mochizuki inherited the wish of her deceased mother, a painter, to continue to engage in animation production, the name of the new company Pandia is quite suitable for her.

but......

"Animation company?!"

Completely out of control, with his eyes wide open, Sato Yu started yelling.

A few months ago, he was supervising a crappy production at P8, an animation company that was still at the bottom of the industry. The production schedule was pushed to the brink of collapse several times due to bad reviews. Now, only half a month after the animation was completed, he has opened a new animation company?

From the way Mochizuki Nanae was dressed, from her overly innocent nature, from the fact that she didn't even ask how much Kyon's treatment cost, and from the fact that she promised to lend him money after the animation was finished, Sato Yu could tell that their overly beautiful JK supervisor was a rich woman.

But jumping from a poor scapegoat supervisor to the president of an animation company, isn't this too much of a leap?

"Yes, it belongs to my animation company!"

Humph, now it is finally Mochizuki Nanae's turn to be proud. With a puffed-out chest and a curled mouth, Mochizuki Nanae is full of smugness and her arrogant look really does give her some of the feeling of the seven-year term being up and the Dragon King returning to his throne.

"Wait a minute, my mind is really confused."

I took the business card handed to me by Nanae Mochizuki from the table, and it clearly read "President of Pandia Animation Production Company - Nanae Mochizuki".

Sato Yuu could roughly understand that Mochizuki Nanae was serious and not faking it, and she waved her hands repeatedly. His mind was really a mess.

"Your family can easily invest in you to set up a company, but you still have to endure so much humiliation in the P8 company..."

In addition to the start-up period, because the person who was supervising her was a sister who was not valued, Nanae Mochizuki actually suffered a lot when she asked the company for money and people later, and was even excluded and ridiculed by the other three groups.

If her family was really that rich and could easily start a company, why did Mochizuki Nanae suffer so much at that time? Was it to experience life?

Sato Yu wanted to ask a question, but suddenly remembered what Sugino Miki said when he met the two of them on the night of the visit.

On gambling!

"Well, I have my own difficulties. Remember the bet I told you about before? Because I'm the only daughter, my father actually hopes that I can take over the company, but I'm not interested in that. I still want to make animations.

My father couldn't persuade me, so we made a bet. If I didn't make a name for myself before I turned 25, I would give up animation and go back to work in the company. And "meifeimei" is the name I finally made after all these years.

Although I got the supervisor position by accident, and although it was a lousy work, I was only able to complete it because of you, Sato. But after all, I am the youngest supervisor in Japan, which can be regarded as a proof of my talent.

Of course, this did not make my father willing to invest in me to set up the company, but he had done something wrong before, and I had the evidence in my hands, so I blackmailed him a small sum of money. "

Guilty deeds? When mentioning this word, Sato Yuu immediately thought of the most bizarre thing in the animation production process——

Two original artists took on the ten-card original drawings that the "Sister, Not Sister" production team was unable to handle in the fourth episode at double the price. They kept saying that they were drawing and drawing, but when the deadline came, they were unable to deliver a single original drawing.

This caused Miki Sugino to break down and cry in the car that night, but in the end, it was thanks to him, the savior, that the animation was saved.

Otherwise, if the animation could not be broadcast as scheduled, Mei Fei Mei would have been cancelled.

In addition to this, there are actually other strange things in the production process.

"Yes......"

"You cannot tell me!"

Sato Yu wanted to ask something, but Mochizuki Nanae just smiled cutely and made a cross with her hands. Helplessly, he had to continue asking about other things that interested him.

"What about the personnel composition? The company was probably established in a few days. I won't be your first target, right?"

"If so, Sato, would you be happy?"

Raising her eyebrows, Mochizuki Nanae asked in a low voice with anticipation, her pretty face flushed pink, but what she got in return was Sato Yu's incomprehension.

“I just feel it’s unreliable.”

"Tsk, you... No, I know you are capable. I came here after I was well prepared. As for the staff, we are still recruiting people for operations, but we have almost recruited all the painters.

Why would I make cheap animation when I can make decent animation? I have poached all the members of the Mei Fei Mei production team, and also some original artists I knew from the same period. There are 26 people in total, which is enough to make animation.”

"So the main force is the young original artists?"

With proper allocation, 26 people working on a single animation is already quite healthy, but to be honest, half of them are from the previous Mei Fei Mei production team, so the quality cannot be guaranteed.

The people in the Meifeimei production team, such as Hiromi Amayura and Ryunosuke Hamanishi, are not bad at drawing. If they have enough time, they can actually make a decent animation, but their current limit is just that.

Generally speaking, compared with some old companies that Sato Yuu likes, Pandia is still lacking in strength, and may even be worse than P8 - if P8 can concentrate its manpower on one animation, its strength should not be underestimated.

"It's natural to be like this when we're just starting out, but if you want to hire famous original artists, I can do that, too. For example, if the schedule is right, it's pretty easy to hire them to draw a few cards and advertise the animation to boost its profile."

Seeing that Sato Yu had a gloomy expression and seemed to be hesitant to speak, Mochizuki Nanae quickly showed off her connections and mentioned several names of people that Sato Yu remembered.

Makoto Yanagiya is the up-host who told the behind-the-scenes stories of the production of Mei Fei Mei, whom Sato Yu had seen before. He is also the one who [Makoto Yanagiya takes you to watch anime]. Before his retirement, he was good at animal original paintings, which were old-fashioned and skillful.

Emi Kono is a female artist who excels in character drawing. To be honest, Sato Yu once thought that the painting memory and experience he received came from this artist.

Then, Anne Wakabayashi and Rina Toyama are veteran animation directors who have supervised many works. Their names do not represent just one person. They are Nanae Mochizuki's connections, and their connections can become Nanae Mochizuki's connections. Their power is quite enormous.

"If we can hire these people, then why was it so difficult to make the girl-not-girl before?"

"This is also part of the bad things that Dad has done, but now, there is no problem in this regard anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Mochizuki Nanae pouted and showed some anger, which proved the truth of what he said.

In this way, if Pandia continues to develop for a few more weeks and recruits more artists, it seems that it is possible for it to produce high-quality animations?

Rich woman, freeloader, hungry!

As he was thinking about it, and then looking at Mochizuki Nanae who was looking at him expectantly, Sato Yu was really moved.

But soon, he poured a basin of cold water on himself again.

I'm afraid not. No matter how strong Pandia is, his core demands are ultimately in conflict with those of the president, Nanae Mochizuki.

"There is only one requirement for me to join. I want to be the supervisor. Is that okay?"

"..."

As expected, although she had been hoping for this earnestly, after hearing these words, Mochizuki Nanae's expression suddenly turned cold.

Volume 79: Chapter Chapter . Treasure Hunt

Both Mochizuki Nanae's expression and the situation turned cold after Sato Yu's rather excessive words.

She spent seven years proving herself. Even though her family didn't accept her, she endured a lot of humiliation and gritted her teeth to get through the difficulties when she directed her first film. In this way, she finally proved herself, got the money, and started her own animation company. What did Mochizuki Nanae want?

Isn't it just that you should be the supervisor and make the ideal animation you want to make?

But now that he opened his mouth, he was going to take away what he valued most. All the efforts, money and time he had spent before seemed like a joke in front of these words.

Being aware of all this, and being stared at incredulously and coldly by Mochizuki Nanae, Sato Yu lowered his head even more.

He really said something quite extreme.

"Except for this request, everything else is easy to negotiate. How about you continue to serve as deputy supervisor? I'm in charge of the company's finances anyway, so I can secretly give you several times the salary."

As the only younger person of her age who draws better than her, a cheating monster who completely defeated her with his original drawings and convinced her, Sato Yu may have a special feeling for this JK supervisor who burns his life in animation production.

She was not angry at all after being told such words, and was still forcing a smile. The father, who had always been at odds with his daughter over the differences between the animation company and the takeover company, would probably be so surprised that his jaw would hit the ground when he saw this scene.

In this situation, perhaps all of Mochizuki Nanae's good temper in this life was used on Sato Yu, the only bastard who made her feel special.

But even so, Sato Yu's answer remains unchanged.

"No matter which animation company it is, this is the only thing I ask for."

Nanae Mochizuki has her own dreams, but she also has her own difficulties.

For the current goals and future tasks, he needs to become the supervisor of this second animation.

Of course, perhaps there is no need to be so anxious and it is possible to complete the goals of the final five stages, but the stakes are Qiong's life, and Sato Yu dare not gamble.

In this case, it might be better for this pair of people who both have a special obsession with supervision to separate.

He doesn't have to take advantage of Nanae Mochizuki, and the animation produced by Nanae Mochizuki doesn't necessarily need him. It's better to part ways with her.

But Nanae Mochizuki didn't know that fame was related to her sister's life, so she couldn't let it go easily. After hearing this, she became even angrier.

"Even if I like your...paintings, Satou, you can't bully me like this!"

This is the second time that Mochizuki Nanae has said this. Including the time when he snatched the production rights of the final episode of "Sister Not Sister" from her, Sato Yu has hurt her heart twice.

In response, Sato Yu could only lower his eyes and sincerely apologize to her again.

"I'm sorry for letting you down."

Although this apology was sincere, it was far from enough to make Mochizuki Nanae feel relieved.

"Why are you so obsessed with the supervisor position? You said you don't like anime... Is it for your sister again? Do you really want her to feel at ease? To make her proud?

You really spared no effort.”

Was she really too concerned about Sato Yuu? After complaining and grumbling, she paused for a moment, and Mochizuki Nanae had actually found a reason for Sato Yuu.

In her opinion, the only reason why Sato Yuu wants to become a supervisor so hard is to make his lovely sister, Qiong, proud of him.

Although the specific reasons do not match, the point of view is indeed correct.

Mochizuki Nanae fell silent, and Sato Yu didn't know what to say, so he also fell silent.

Such silence made Sato Yu feel panic. He could probably predict that the two would part ways unpleasantly. Even the scene of Mochizuki Nanae slamming the door and leaving appeared in his mind.

His painting skills have advanced to such an extent that he can paint in his mind so quickly!

The silence, or rather the confrontation, lasted for nearly half a minute. Just when Sato Yu was thinking about whether he should complete the apology by getting off the taxi that he had not done when he returned to the production team of "Sister Not Sister", Mochizuki Nanae took action.

The action was not what I had expected, slamming the table in anger, then shouting "I hate Sato the most" and then slamming the door and leaving, but...

Slowly, under Sato Yu's astonished gaze, Mochizuki Nanae opened the bag of Taiyaki she brought, and took out a piece after identifying it.

“It would be a shame not to eat the Taiyaki I bought.”

She seemed to take this as a reason to continue staying in Sato's house.

With a light snort, in front of Sato Yu, Mochizuki Nanae bit off the fish mouth of the taiyaki, revealing the bright red filling inside.

The distance was not far, and the pungent spicy smell quickly reached Sato Yu's nasal cavity, choking him and almost making him sneeze.

The bright red thing is not red beans, but chili peppers!

Sato Yu suddenly remembered that Sugino Miki had once told him that the supervisor's favorite food was super spicy Taiyaki.

This has to be said to be a rather perverted preference, but Nanae Mochizuki really loves such a perverted snack.

The sweet pancake is filled with juicy red pepper sauce, which is so spicy that every bite is burning.

Just like Sato Yu at this moment, he always relied on his painting skills to do bad things to her unscrupulously and made such direct requests that she was least likely to accept.

But even so, because the drawing skills are so outstanding, and because the time they had worked together in the past was so wonderful, she also has an inexplicable and annoying little selfish desire besides animation, so she still likes the spicy pain after the sweetness, and likes this perverted spicy Taiyaki.

"Sato..."

Under Sato Yu's concerned gaze about her mental state, she took two big bites of the super spicy Taiyaki, her lips oozing with oil. The icy Moon Goddess fell to the mortal world, ready to say something.

At this time, the doorbell rang again.

It's always like this, when I'm free, nothing happens, but when I'm busy, it seems like everything comes one after another at the same time.

The doorbell rang rapidly, and after pressing it again and again, Sato You blinked in confusion and got up to check.

"Sato, your uncle is drunk in the pub again. I need you to move him back."

The person who came to the house was no longer the beautiful supervisor or the beautiful production manager, but an elderly lady from the neighboring house who was over fifty years old and had lost her charm. She came to ask this strong young man to help carry her old wife who could not walk back home.
