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

"President Mochizuki treated me very well. He never deducted my salary. He also gave me a very high salary, which was enough for me to live in a better place. But it was really too much trouble.

It has convenient commuting, complete water and electricity facilities, and the bed is soft so I can sleep comfortably. I’m not a materialistic person, so having such a place to live is enough for me.

After all, if you stay in the office all day and go home just to sleep, there is no need to spend more money on this aspect.”

"You stay in the company all day. Can I ask you how many hours you work a day?"

"Well, let me calculate..."

It takes two hours to visit Qiong in the hospital, one hour for three meals, one hour for commuting, and six hours for sleep. Every day he...

"Since we started working on One Punch Man, I've been working fourteen hours a day."

"Fourteen hours!"

The audience member on the live broadcast had a childish voice, and one could tell he was young. The fact that he asked such a low EQ question as "becoming a monk is too shabby" proved that he had never been beaten by society. As soon as he heard the words "fourteen hours", his breathing became noticeably heavier and he even exclaimed.

And it wasn't just him. Even the adults and office workers in the audience couldn't help but express their surprise and started commenting.

[Since the production of One Punch Man, that means you worked fourteen hours a day for a month? 】

[Fuck, what is this Chosen Social Animal? ]

[Painting is a delicate job that requires more energy and makes you more easily tired than ordinary work.]

[Constantly consuming imagination, constantly evaporating energy, and only sleeping six hours a day? It's really superhuman. 】

【Efforts of Genius】

[This is too exaggerated]

[It may only be like this for a few days. How can a human withstand such torture? It's just an animation. It's impossible to fight so hard.]

Where there is affirmation there is doubt, and among the exclamations there are also many voices that do not believe Sato Yu's words. Sato Yu does not intend to refute this, but before that, another SC message of recharging 10,000 yen to make the text more conspicuous floats across the top of the screen.

[I testify that this evil tentacle supervisor does work fourteen hours a day, and that is at least. In fact, it may be more than that.]

After one, there's another.

[This guy is simply a damn painting machine. It seems that he is always painting. He is talented and works several times harder than ordinary people. He is a pure pressure monster. Thanks to him, no one dares to slack off too much. The production efficiency of the entire production team has increased by at least 0.5 times because of him.]

You have activated the [Fast Painting] buff, and you have activated the fourteen-hour painting day system.

You have activated the aura of group inspiration. Your soldiers show their loyalty to you. Your soldiers are encouraged and their work efficiency is increased by 0.5 times.

The power of the God of Animation is so terrifying, and the influence of the Succubus Aura is also so terrifying.

The two consecutive SC messages are the best proof of Sato Yu's working status and attitude.

But, is your evidence true?

Someone raised questions in the barrage, but they were soon drowned out by more rebuttals.

Because the ID of the viewer who left the message is [Hiromi Amano Meimeimei], the sharp-tongued painter Hiromi Amano who complains every day that Sato Yuta is not a human being, that he puts too much pressure on people but keeps honing his painting skills, that he treats himself with much stricter standards than before, and that he keeps complaining about why he is improving so slowly and that he can't help at all.

Old viewers all know her identity, and also know this painter's outspoken and sharp-tongued personality. From her testimony, we can know how much Sato Yuu loves animation and how much he focuses on painting, which also makes people believe that -

It is true that he has been living in a shabby house only because he has devoted all his passion to animation production and has no material desires.

But in fact, Sato Yu was lying.

He is the laziest, most carefree and lazy guy who wants to take it easy.

He was just concerned about Qiong. He wanted to keep the money for emergencies and save more money for when Qiong recovered so that he could give her a better life immediately after she was discharged from the hospital.

The so-called "lack of material desire" is just a cover-up to prevent the audience from delving into the matter further and digging deeper into the truth, which would eventually expose Qiong's illness.

A brother who works hard to make animations in order to give his sister the hope to live.

If this matter were to be revealed, people would definitely pity him, care about him, admire him, support him and champion him, and the industry would certainly recognize him more, and the seniors would also abandon their prejudices and be more courteous to a junior like him in animation production, and even his fame would surely experience an explosive growth as a result.

This is an excellent way to increase your fame at an extremely fast speed, and Sato Yu is well aware of this.

But even so, he would never use this ultimate nuclear explosion weapon.

Because, being watched and pitied by everyone, Qiong, who has deep inferiority hidden in his heart and seems cheerful but is actually the most sensitive, must feel painful and will be under unimaginable pressure.

What that child hated most in his life was the sympathetic and pitying looks from outsiders.

Sato Yu would not use Qiong's terminal illness to gain sympathy.

Before embarking on the arduous journey of animation production, he, as the older brother, should have exhausted all his strength for the terminally ill Qiong, rather than the weak Qiong contributing anything for her.

After all, just thinking that Qiong will recover because of his efforts, and will be able to grow up, live happily and freely, and enjoy the safe and happy life of a normal girl, Sato Yu has already gained infinite strength from Qiong.

"Kami Sato! One Punch Man is so, so, so good. I really want to see the sequel. I saw that in the theme song, there are other people besides the protagonist who appear. This means that you have already written the story and will produce this anime next!"

Because his thoughts were drawn to Qiong and he was slightly absent-minded, the questioning had already passed to the next audience member, who asked excitedly. Sato You was stunned for a moment, then shook his head to dispel the mixed thoughts in his heart, which was also a response to this audience member.

“No, although I have already thought of the entire story, the various strange people and events that the protagonist will encounter, as well as the series of stories that unfold between him and his disciples, and how the entire anime will be a gripping heroic ode.

But in fact, the next anime produced will not be One Punch Man. "

"Ah? Why? Then..."

"wait for me."

This was a good opportunity to promote the new work. Interrupting the audience's questions, Sato Yu stood up and rummaged through the bookcase. He found the handbag he had brought with him when he went to MADhouse that day, and took out a painting from it.

"The animation I actually want to make is this—"

Sato Yu said in a deep voice, placing the already colored cover of the new work, which was completely beyond the level of the original painting and was basically an illustration, at the right position of the camera to show it to the audience.

"FATE...ZERO?"

What appeared on the screen was an extremely epic cover image.

Under the dark sky, countless armored knights lay across the hills, with bloodstained swords stuck in the corpses. In this sad scene, a thin blue figure was enduring the cold rain alone, so desolate and so heartbreaking.

Mumbling, the audience read out the name of the animation marked on it.

"Yes, Fate/Zero."

"What kind of story will it be?"

What a story it would be...

He opened his mouth and closed it again, with a gleam in his eyes, and Sato You fell silent.

With different wishes in mind, seven Command Spell hosts summon seven heroic spirits from different times and backgrounds, each of whom has created epic stories, to fight on the stage of modern Fuyuki City to compete for the omnipotent wish-granting machine "Holy Grail"!

It is an extraordinary world with outstanding charm, fantasy and beauty, a tragic battlefield with treacherous hearts and sad wishes, and a shocking war.

The magicians each displayed their own skills, the heroes each showed their own unique brilliance, the hearts and swords were in conflict, the story that shocked, stirred and shook the hearts and minds unfolded like a raging storm, but in the end it led to...

How can I describe this wonderful story, this wonderful epic...

The sight gradually becomes distant, as if it is actually floating above the battlefield where heroes are fighting.

Finally, the words that could be used to describe the story took shape in his mind. The corners of his mouth slowly raised, revealing an arc that symbolized joy, and Sato Yuu spoke -

“Probably, it will be a story about love and hope.”

ps: This is a big chapter of 6,000 words, and there will be more chapters of nearly 6,000 words released later. I have been quite diligent during this period, and I dare to ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and lovely rewards!

Please, it would be really happy to see the data grow, it would burst out with infinite power!

Volume 127: Chapter Chapter . What He Let Down

"Be good, go to bed quickly. Don't be like those people on the Internet and watch the animation again. Early to bed and early to rise will keep you healthy."

"Then my brother also promised me that you would work less and rest more, fourteen hours a day or something... From today on, I will video call you at eight o'clock every night. If I see you are still in the company, I will immediately run out of the hospital and take you back home!

Even if I'm not at home, you should take care of your health. When I heard you say that home is just a place to rest, I really felt..."

The "One Punch Man" animated comic was broadcast at the prime time of 8 o'clock in the evening. After the broadcast and the interview, it was only until 8:40. During this time, Qiong was still awake and called him immediately after the live broadcast ended.

She expressed her excitement about the fighting scenes, expressed her liking for them, praised him, and felt proud of him. The joy in Qiong's words was beyond words.

However, all of this is just a prelude to the final words.

Some of the words that Sato Yu said during the live broadcast hurt Qiong's heart. She tried her best to speak in a calm and gentle tone, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back her tears.

She has been enduring loneliness in the hospital, and this has also made her brother, who has been working hard to make animations for her, lonely.

The words "going home is just for sleeping" really hurt Qiong's softest part.

They are clearly family members, but she, as a younger sister, only makes her brother feel lonely and miserable.

Qiong knew that Sato You definitely didn't want her to think like that, but the thought couldn't be stopped after all. Even if she smiled and talked, she couldn't relieve the sadness. She could only force Sato You to stop his self-torturing working style.

"Well, no, I will definitely take good care of myself."

If he encounters a similar difficulty that he has to overcome with his hard work, Sato Yu will definitely continue to paint frantically until he completely collapses mentally and collapses on the bed, unable to get up.

But after hearing Qiong's tearful request, Sato Yu still lied.

But even if it was lies, even if the two siblings were constantly lying to each other, what flowed between the lies was still the love that was sincere to the extreme.

This will never change.

"Whoo~"

All the happiness in his heart and the high spirits in his words and actions disappeared in this phone call. He fell from the clouds to reality again. After comforting Hao Qiong and hanging up the phone, Sato You let out a long sigh.

After taking some time to calm himself down, he slid open the screen after hearing the notification sound from the chat software.

Many people have sent him messages of congratulations since the animated cartoon was broadcast, but he has not been able to open them because he has a video interview and a phone call with Qiong. At this moment, he starts with the person who sent him the message first at the bottom and replies to them one by one.

[No matter how many people there are outside, I will kneel down to you. This game tonight is really a proud one. It is also a miracle that only you, Sato, can accomplish.

It’s really, really amazing! 】

Replying, Sato Yu clicked on the message from his good brother Hamanishi Ryunosuke, smiled knowingly, edited the message and sent it back, and then he saw the message from Hiromi Amayura.

There is no text, just a photoshopped picture.

The protagonist of One Punch Man walked out of the smoke amidst the flames, shouting "I will protect the earth!". When it came to Hiromi Yuyu, she photoshopped Sato Yu's head onto the screen and changed the lines to "I will save animation!".

It's a somewhat abstract job, but it's actually quite cool.

If the text is changed to [The dome, let me save it], it would be even more appropriate.

The real "One Punch Man" is truly fighting for this and never stops.

Squinting his eyes and smiling comfortably, Sato Yu sent a message back.

[Thank you for testifying for me. Those two pieces of SC information must be very expensive. Sister Yusheng is so generous. I am really grateful! ]

hum.

How about it, that’s pretty nice.

Of course, it's me after all.

Sato Yu originally thought that Hiromi Amayura would reply with something like this, but after waiting for a while, the other party typed a line of [. . . . . . ] to express his speechlessness.

【What's wrong? 】 Sato Yuu asked.

[I regret it, 20,000 yen, 20,000 yen! I hit it out of my mind, woo woo, Super Yoyo, I kneel down for you, can you hit me back? ]

[Uh, this... probably won't work. ]

[Ahhh, give me back my rice, give me back my rice, give me back my rice...]

One SC message in the live broadcast room costs 10,000 yen. Hiromi Yuyu typed two in a row, which means she lost one-sixth of her monthly salary. It was really heartbreaking. When she saw that Sato Yu had no intention of returning the money, the previously extremely generous sister immediately had a manic attack and frantically refreshed the screen to send messages.

Sato Yu was so amused and helpless that he wanted to type a message to comfort her, but Hiromi Yuyu remained silent.

[Forget it, I'll just give you the overtime pay now. Don't work overtime like this in the future. Your sister will be worried about you.

Work should be done in moderation, be an animation hero, be a sister hero. 】

[Ah, don't worry, only Ryunosuke and I noticed something. ]

Previously, when Sato Yu had a fever and almost fainted at the company, it was Hamanishi Ryunosuke who sent him home. I think that he probably noticed something during the time when he entered Sato Yu's house, placed him in a safe place, and took care of him for a short period of time, and he told Hiromi Amayuma about it.

Looking back, it is true that since then, Hamanishi Ryunosuke and Uryu Hiromi have taken better care of him. They prepare instant food and energy drinks for him all day long and feed him whenever he is free.

【Thanks. 】

These two words were the only ones that could express what was in his mind. Sato Yu pressed heavily on the top of the screen and sent them over.

After that, scrolling down the information, the person who needed communication was Miki Sugino.
