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

As he spoke, he recalled some details and felt that the setting of the wooden ladder was too stupid, without any safety considerations. Sato Yu pointed out the problem seriously to Fujita Renko of Kyoto Animation headquarters.

"This design is too unsafe. Safety is more important than appearance. I suggest demolishing it and rebuilding it with fireproof materials..."

"Uncle Kigami, Uncle Takemoto, and Aunt Yamada, Aunt Ishida!"

It was only a few steps up and down the stairs, and while they were talking, several experienced main creators in Kyoto Animation who had received the news came downstairs. They were very familiar with each other, and Mochizuki Nanae immediately ran over and greeted them sweetly.

Mochizuki Nanae clapped her hands with the two male protagonists, Kigami and Takemoto. She liked the aunts the most and was the most popular among them. She went straight up and got into the arms of Yamada Naoko and Ishida Naomi, and slapped them on the face.

"Oh, oh, oh, you still remember to kiss when we met. You're so grown up and you're not shy at all."

"She is still as lively as she was when she was little. Time flies. After more than ten years, our Wangyue has grown into a beautiful lady."

"It's as if Mieko appeared before my eyes again. It's really like that."

"He's no longer the little girl following behind me. He's the big boss. The animation he recently produced, 'Azure Blue', is great. We all like it very much. We often get together and have fun while drinking beer."

After she got a "hi" on the phone, Nanae Mochizuki immediately rushed from Tokyo to Kyoto the next day. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years since her mother Mieko Mochizuki passed away, the warmth of the past was still there, and they reminisced about her. Several veteran creators of Kyoto Animation showed affection to her, and their words were full of joy and a bit of nostalgia.

Her mother worked here and left traces and memories. What Nanae Mochizuki said was right, Kyoto Animation, this place can indeed be considered her grandmother's home.

"Let me introduce you. This is my best friend Sugino Miki, and this is... humph, the bad guy who stole my supervisor position, that annoying and arrogant newcomer Sato Yuu!"

Would Sato Yuu's arrogant words during the live broadcast a few days ago offend several senior members of Kyoto Animation? Unsure of this, Mochizuki Nanae simply introduced Sato Yuu with "cursing".

In this way, she had already scolded them, so even if the senior painters in front of her were dissatisfied, they could not say anything more excessive.

This is a little bit of social etiquette, and it is a little thought of Mochizuki Nanae that cannot be hidden from her seniors.

They all heard her protection for Sato Yu from her words, and they all smiled.

"The director of 'Azure Blue' and the author of '5 Centimeters per Second'. I have wanted to meet him for a long time. Now I see that he is really a handsome guy. Our Mochizuki is under your care."

"I have been following your works since your debut. Compared to when I was 20 years old... at that time I was still scratching my head over the daily painting task, I couldn't compare with you at all. You are really amazing, young man."

"I watched One Punch Man. The fighting scenes really shocked us old people. And, hey, don't take the Umezawa Masashi incident too seriously. Don't feel pressured.

You young people may not know this, but I have heard my old friends complain about it a long time ago.

The "DARLING in the FRANXX" project was initiated by A-1 three months ago and was ready for production. The original supervisor was not Masashi Umezawa at all. He was just one of the members. It was later that you two had a quarrel, and the higher-ups let Masashi Umezawa take over considering the topic value.

So, he was just a supervisor in name only, but in reality his say was limited in that luxurious lineup.

And originally it was just a little publicity, but Umezawa Masashi couldn't control his mouth and kept exaggerating during the interview, making it look like now it seems like most of the community is against you.

It's not like that. Don't have too much psychological pressure. If you have any ideas or animations you want to make, just release them at a different time. It's not shameful to temporarily avoid the limelight of national animations."

If young people, especially talented young people, are not crazy, can they still be called young people?

Most people in the circle saw the incident between Sato Yu and Umezawa Masashi as a joke and did not have much ill will towards Sato Yu. Previously, considering their friendship and face, several old people from Kyoto Animation kept silent and did not take sides. Now that they have met, they are willing to give some advice.

He expressed his gratitude for this and was a little humbled when listening to the praise from several seniors, and Sato Yu responded to every word with a smile.

"Don't stand in this hall, go upstairs quickly. Nanae, the little art fanatic, can't wait to visit us. We are currently working on the painting of the movie version of "Violet Evergarden". If you are interested, Nanae, you can take a look..."

The atmosphere was harmonious for a moment. In the main hall downstairs, several people were talking animatedly, and they seemed to be going to chat forever. Fortunately, Yamada Naoko reacted first, cut off the topic with a sentence, and pretended to lead them upstairs.

Director Kigami, Senior Yamada, the design of your wooden ladder is not reasonable... In this case, how can I open my mouth now?

Anyway, the fire didn't happen and it may not happen, so let's talk about this matter later.

Thinking of this, Sato Yu went upstairs with everyone else to visit the second and third floors of Kyoto Animation.

It is indeed quite shocking and quite inspiring. Although both are three-story buildings, the interior of Pandia and Kyoto Animation are completely different.

In addition to the free giveaway, all animation processes can be completed within one company. The more he visited, the more he saw the operating conditions and methods of each department in Kyoto Animation's first studio, and especially the terrifying scene of more than 50 painters working together in the studio, the more Sato Yuu yearned for it.

If he could serve as a supervisor within Kyoto Animation, why would he worry about his lack of drawing skills or being entangled in mundane affairs?

It seems natural that you can complete the animation just by focusing on drawing, but it is actually very difficult to practice.

It's really enviable.

Another person who felt the same envy was Mochizuki Nanae.

According to Naoko Yamada, the situation inside the company has not changed much from ten years ago. Nanae Mochizuki should have some memory of this situation, but as she visited the company, her eyes were still shining with twinkling stars and an indelible longing.

When she founded Pandia, she must have been thinking, and still is thinking, about becoming the second Kyoto Animation, working hard to create the best working environment and make the best, world-class animation.

Yes, when he saves Qiong, when he is no longer chased by time and can truly breathe, he will definitely return to Mochizuki Nanae and help her fulfill her dream.

Sato Yuu made this vow in his heart while silently watching Mochizuki Nanae's joy and remembering it in his heart.

"The department responsible for CG photography is in Studio 2, and the contract signing is at the head office. I'll take you there for a tour."

"Come on Miki, Sato, you follow and look after them too."

The reason for coming here, at least on the surface, is that Nanae Mochizuki wants to contact a reliable coloring and background production company for the "5 Centimeters per Second" movie.

In this regard, Nanae Mochizuki, who was overwhelmed by the situation in the First Studio, pushed all the matters to Miki Sugino, and said that she would continue to stay here to visit and browse some original paintings of the "Violet Evergarden" movie.

But in fact......

"Uncle Kigami, Aunt Yamada, take a look at this. It's the setting draft for Fate/Zero."

Overestimating the soundproofing effect of the wooden building and thinking that everything would be fine as long as the door was closed, the arrogant Nanae Mochizuki immediately took out the "Fate/Zero" setting draft that she had specially requested Sato Yu to bring and showed it to the main creators after she drove the two away. Little did she know that all these words fell into the ears of Sato Yu and Sugino Miki who had not yet walked far.

"Nanae really cares about you, and this trip is all for you."

"I know."

"You've made her sad many times. I know you have your reasons, but you must repay her well in the future."

In dealing with Sato Yuu in various matters, Mochizuki Nanae has really given so much, so much that even Sugino Miki, her competitor for Sato Yuu's possession, couldn't help but feel distressed and had to speak well of her, advising Sato Yuu not to forget her kindness and to repay her well in the future.

In this regard, doesn't Sato Yu think the same way?

I really want to continue working with Nanae Mochizuki on Pandia and drawing.

If it weren't for the fame value mission, no matter how poor the Pandia staff's painting skills were, or how much they ruined the original work, Sato Yu would have taken out all the masterpieces in her head and let her do whatever she wanted.

He would do that later.

"I'll be back, I promise."

Seriously, Sato Yu nodded to Sugino Miki and made such a promise.

Then, led by Fujita Renko, they went to Kyoto Animation's second studio and its headquarters.

It took quite a lot of time to visit and sign the letter of intent. We left at around 10 a.m. and came back at around 2 p.m.

In the car, facing Fujita Renko's production, Sato Yu brought up the old matter again.

"Because it was too careless to open the gate when reporters came, the wooden staircase inside was too unsafe. If a fire broke out, everyone in the entire building would be in danger. Then there were only firefighting equipment on the second floor, which was crucial. There was no trace of it on the third floor where people gathered. All these..."

"It's okay. Studio One has been built for decades and has never had any serious accidents. We usually have strict management. Even if there is a fire, we can escape from the inner stairs to the outside and from the third-floor stairs to the rooftop.

If you ask me, Mr. Sato, you are just too cautious... Of course, I am not saying it is bad, but please trust our management of Kyoto Animation, there will be no problem. "

What Sato Yu said were the more serious safety hazards he saw in Studio 1, which were the key points that could have led to the deaths of Kyoto Animation members.

But people are often like this. They will not realize and repent until disaster strikes. Although Fujita Renko did not turn a deaf ear to his reminder, she did not show much regard for it.

Sato You understood this aspect. If he hadn't remembered the fire in his previous life, when he saw the spiral wooden staircase connecting the three floors in the studio, he would have only thought it was exquisite and beautiful, and would never have thought that it might be the key hidden danger that caused the fire to spread.

Then we can talk to the real management of Kyoto Animation and the main creators who hold most of the say.

Having made up his mind, and considering that he would be going back to Tokyo tomorrow, Sato Yu planned to convey the message tonight.

"Ugh?"

"what happened?"

"There's a...fire man?"

Just as he was lowering his head and thinking, Fujita Renko, who was driving, suddenly screamed. Confused, Sato Yu went to ask, but heard an extremely unexpected answer.

What does "fire man" mean... His heart suddenly trembled, his eyes opened as wide as possible, Sato You looked up and saw a fat man with fire on his body running on the road in front of him, and two painters he had seen in the studio were chasing him from behind and kicked him down.

"Hideyuki, Ruiren, what's going on?"

"Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~This, this guy is setting fire!"

The original artist Hideyuki Haga, who often paints while sitting on a chair and has poor physical strength, and who chased the arsonist here, answered, gasping for breath.

"What? Arson?"

Fujita Renko didn't react for a moment and kept asking, but with a bang, Sato Yu jumped out of the car and asked loudly.

"Wangyue, where is Wangyue?!"

"Her? She should still be inside the company. Ruiren and I chased after this guy as soon as we found out he was setting the fire. The company should be... in trouble!"

At the moment the fire broke out, the only thought in their minds was to catch the arsonist. At this moment, after being reminded by Sato Yu, the two original artists realized that the most important thing at the moment was not to catch the criminal, but the fire in the First Studio!

"It's been burning for several minutes!"

Tears immediately burst out of his eyes and the painter Haga Hidehito was terrified.

At this moment, looking towards the studio again...

Thick smoke is rising!

Volume 134: Chapter Chapter . The Door of Escape

Imagine that the otaku who thought his bad work was plagiarized and kept harassing Kyoto Animation had opened the door one day because of the press conference, and now there is a raging fire.

Everything can be connected together. The fat man who was lying on the ground, rolling and wailing, trying to put out the fire on himself was the culprit who caused the Kyoto Animation fire and killed dozens of people.

I really want to push this bastard's head into the ground and punch him till he has no flesh and blood, but that is not something I can take care of right now.

"Look at the moon, look at the moon!"

The first sound was low, the second was shrill, and like a madman, Sato You ran towards the studio.

"Sato, get in the car!"

Although there were only a few hundred meters left, he was definitely driving faster, racing against time. The equally anxious Fujita Renko and Sugino Miki caught up with him and pulled him into the car.

"Don't be in trouble."

I don't know when Sugino Miki became the driver. When she looked back, Fujita Renko's face was pale, her lips were blue, and her hands were trembling as she covered her cheeks. While she was praying, Sugino Miki had already arrived.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

"Have you called the fire department? Go get them."

Everyone was in danger during the fire and the scene was in chaos. Some people were on the first floor when the fire broke out and ran out immediately after seeing the fire. Some shouted for help, sought help from the neighbors and kept calling the fire department. There were also people who were so anxious about the fire that they didn't care about anything else and jumped down from the second-floor balcony.

"Call all the nearby residents who can be mobilized to come, get water, and do your best to put out the fire before the fire truck arrives! Over there, Machida jumped down, someone drive her to the hospital right away!"

In front of the building, Naoko Yamada was shouting loudly, trying her best to calm the people who had escaped, maintain order at the scene and try to put out the fire.

"Where's Wangyue? How is Wangyue?"

Mochizuki Nanae had the best relationship with Yamada Naoko. A glimmer of hope rose in her heart. She suddenly opened the car door and rushed straight towards her. Sato You asked sternly.

"She's not outside, I'm afraid she's still inside!"

She went downstairs only after receiving a phone call informing her that someone was causing trouble. When she left, Mochizuki Nanae was still upstairs telling the story of "Fate/Zero" to Takemoto Yasuhiro and others and lobbying them. At this moment, it was clear that Mochizuki Nanae had not yet escaped.

"Oh shit."

Unable to suppress his anxiety, Sato You swore.

"The gasoline caused the fire. We can't even get into the first floor. Now we can only wait for the firefighters..."

Having witnessed with her own eyes the obese man pouring gasoline on the front desk clerk Xingna, then pouring it on himself and then pouring it under the wooden spiral staircase to start a fire, Yamada Naoko knew best how fast the fire would spread, and she wanted to comfort him.

There is no point in being anxious. All they can do is maintain order at the scene and try their best to rescue the people who escaped. As for further rescue, they can only wait for professionals and pray for the people still in the fire.

Before she could finish her words, Sato Yu left her and ran away.

There was no danger or safety, no waiting or praying, Sato Yu just wanted to confirm with her whether Mochizuki Nanae was inside.

ladder!

People can really remember a lot when they are in crisis. Feeling anxious, Sato You recalled many details from the documentary videos he had watched in his previous life.

Workers working on the construction site near Kyoto Animation rescued three female employees trapped in the toilet on the first floor, and also used a ladder to rescue a male artist who climbed out of the third-floor window!

The ladder is three meters long, enough to reach the second floor!

He ran with all his strength and reached the construction site of a residential building several dozen meters away. He picked up the ladder with his arms and immediately returned.

"No, the fire is too fierce. If you go in like this, you might be in danger!"
