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

"Ah."

After a response, Qiong hung up the phone. On this side, he took the phone from his ear, stared at the screen which still showed the call time, and Sato You blinked in confusion.

Was it his illusion? He always felt that Qiong was angry and upset.

Alas~ Even though he was confident that he loved Qiong more than anyone else in the world, he still hadn't found the trick to take care of her emotions and make every word he said make her happy.

"Why? Did Qiong complain about you?"

The rooftop has a wide view and is still a good place even in freezing cold weather. It seems that Sato Yu, who came here to talk to his sister on the phone, has the same idea. During the call, Mochizuki Nanae also walked onto the rooftop. After Sato Yu gave a gesture, she immediately leaned aside and waited for him to finish the call.

Because the speaker was not on, Mochizuki Nanae could not hear what Qiong said, but she could still get some information from Sato Yu's words and expression.

The girl is only fourteen years old, and as a brother, he is already imagining what she will look like when she gets married. He is really too impatient.

Besides, compared with the so-called other men, no matter how you think about it, there is only one man left in Qiong's heart who is now in the hospital and has little contact with others.

Fortunately, these two are blood siblings.

"When I recover from my illness, I will meet more and more people. Although those people may not be as good, gentle and determined as you, Sato, Qiong will always find her own happiness."

With an optimistic attitude, Lang smiled and patted Sato Yu's shoulder, Mochizuki Nanae comforted him, and then asked again.

"By the way, how is Qiong doing lately?"

"Everything is fine. She just called and said the doctor is very optimistic about curing her."

"This is really good news. However, who could have thought that Qiong, who was once sentenced to death, would miraculously recover and step by step recover to the current state where there is great hope for recovery."

“Thanks to the rapid progress of medicine.”

"Huh~ I think it's all your credit, Sato. Love can nourish flesh and blood. It's because you have been insisting, supporting and nourishing Qiong's dry heart, that she didn't give up on herself and was willing to persevere. That's why we have all the good news today.

So, speaking of this, the agreement between you two siblings... Every time you, Satou, achieve great success in animation production, Qiong's condition will suddenly get better. It's as if Qiong's condition is related to your animation, Satou. How strange."

"Ha, ha, ha, maybe, that's true."

Women's intuition is really sharp. To some extent, Mochizuki Nanae guessed the truth.

Sato Yuu was sweating on his forehead because of this amazing intuition. He didn't dare to let the other party expose his secret, so he just laughed.

"It would be great if that were true. Our efforts would have more meaning... Sato, thank you."

"Thank you suddenly?"

“It’s not surprising. This is the first time I’ve said this in the past six months of making Fate/Zero. The anime is about to air, and it may be the best work I’ve ever made. I suddenly feel very emotional.

Thank you for showing me a more distant landscape. The Macedonian soldiers followed Alexander the Great to find the sea at the end of the world. Perhaps, I am now following you to conquer the sea. "

"Conquering the Sea... Yes, my goal is to completely dominate the animation industry, to see the highest scenery, to pick the brightest star, and to find the precious treasure I have been pursuing.

Thank you for supporting me all along. In fact, I should be the one to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get this far now."

"Chuunib! Sentimental! Corny! Shh ...

Next, it’s the competition between our best works and the national team. Same date, same time, just broadcast on different TV stations... The broadcaster is really mean.

When broadcasting in the same time period, the ratings are the most direct and objective criterion. If you lose, there is no recovery, and it will be used as a stepping stone. Whenever it is mentioned, people will say "Oh, it's the animation where XX stepped on the head". I don't want that.

So, I was always very nervous, so nervous that I didn’t dare go back, didn’t dare to see how the audience commented or compared, and could only relax myself on this rooftop in the cold wind.

Hey, Sato, do you think we can win?"

"Of course I will win."

"Because of the reason you mentioned: [The members of the national team are too experienced and capable, and there are all kinds of frictions between the old men who have been painting for decades. It is difficult to reach a consensus, and they may even fight in the end]?"

"No, I did have that lucky thought at first, but now...

The newcomers of Pandia worked hard with the seniors of Kyoto Animation for half a year without any slackness. They put in all their efforts and hard work. We are a perfect team. We have truly perfectly demonstrated the charm of the story of "Fate/Zero" and made the animation reach a quality beyond my imagination."

As he spoke, his eyes passed over Mochizuki Nanae, over the rooftop door, towards the Pandia headquarters, and towards the direction of the conference room where everyone was gathered. Sato Yuu smiled heartily and spoke softly but firmly.

"It's not because of some lame excuse like the other team is lame. We won simply because we did our best!"

Volume 150: Chapter Chapter . First Reading

At night, around eight o'clock, Hideki Oya brought the fried tempura to the table.

"Wooah~ I slept so well. For dinner... roast chicken, duck neck, French fries, and tempura. Such a rich meal. What's so special about today?"

My girlfriend Kumiko Aoki is a flight attendant for a multinational airline. She had just returned from abroad and was experiencing jet lag. When she woke up at night, all she saw through her sleepy eyes was a table full of delicious fried snacks.

They had been living together for several months, so there was no need for such a big ceremony to welcome her back, so Kumiko Aoki guessed that today was some special day.

Birthday? Holiday? Reunion anniversary? After thinking about it, none of them fit. In her confusion, her boyfriend Oya Hideki gave her the answer.

"Fate/Zero is on tonight, let's watch it while we eat!"

"...You anime geek, I really don't know what to say."

"This is Sato Yuu's new work. Not only Pandia, but also Kyoto Animation is working together. The viewing experience must be amazing."

"Yeah, yeah, it must be good, it must be good. What time does it start?"

"Right away, it's eight o'clock, three minutes to go."

"Oh."

Agreeing, rubbing her eyes, Kumiko Aoki sat down on the sofa and wiped her palms with a wet towel.

"Aren't you going to wash up?"

"Isn't the animation about to start? I'm slow in washing up, so if I go I'll miss a lot, maybe the animation will be over."

"Haha, Kumiko, there will be a day when you care so much about animation."

Unlike him, who is a deep anime fan, his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki is a serious anime fan. She didn't pay much attention to animation before, and it was only after she was dragged by him to watch several anime together after they got back together that she gradually deepened her understanding of her.

This time, she was able to abandon her love of beauty, get up without washing and eat, and sit here to watch TV. Oya Hideki was happy but also very surprised.

"After all, it was the animation of Yuu Sato, the man who drew the Seconds Five manga and helped us get back together."

"Well, thanks to him!"

Oya Hideki responded heavily.

They were in love in high school, each other's first love, but they separated in college and never heard from each other again. Until the night when "5 Centimeters per Second" was released, they read the comics at the same time and were unable to let it go. They called each other and made an appointment to meet. Now they are in love again and live together...

Sato Yu is indeed their great benefactor, and they naturally have to support this matchmaker for them.

Once, in "5 Centimeters per Second", they rediscovered the innocence and joy of their first love and redeemed the long-standing regrets and unwillingness. Now, they will continue to pursue what Sato Yuu said "love and hope" in his new work!

"Come to think of it, you told me that Sato Yuu had a conflict with that old painter whose name was what, and they also produced two half-year series to compete with each other. It was said that the old painter's lineup was particularly explosive?"

"Masashi Umezawa, yes, the animation team there is very strong. It can be said that it is a collection of well-known bigwigs in the animation industry. It is very impressive and a big deal.

Moreover, it was obviously aimed at Sato Yuu, as their animations were broadcast on the same day and at the same time. "

"Wow, that sounds scary, but..."

"Definitely look this way!" ×2

With telepathic connection, Oya Hideki and Aoki Kumiko shouted the same words.

Smiling at each other, they pressed closer together, and at this moment, the commercial ended, and one minute before eight o'clock, the final promotional PV of "Fate/Zero" was broadcast on TV.

[The first episode is 48 minutes long! ]

Unlike most animations, "Fate/Zero" is an extended version, with the first episode being twice as long as other series.

"Wow, forty-eight minutes, this is Sato Yuu's sincerity, how can other shows compare to it?"

While laughing, he took off the chicken leg and handed it to his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki, while he tore some chicken breast for himself. The two of them stared at the TV screen.

[Master Kiritsugu! My wife has given birth! ]

A baby was born, and amid the good news, a handsome man in a suit but with lifeless eyes sat quietly in the church, clenching his fists silently.

Then, in the large bedroom in the snow, the beautiful white-haired lady held the little baby in her arms and expressed her love. However, when she asked her husband to come and see the child, the man who had been staring out the window, with a lonely and desolate back, said in a low voice:

[Ally, I may... send you to death in the future]

This is a line that was revealed in the advance PV of the animation. Oya Hideki had a premonition that there was a knife, but he didn't expect that it would be uttered in such a situation.

"It seems like this is indeed a serious work."

After swallowing the chicken leg in her mouth, my girlfriend Kumiko Aoki murmured.

Recommended by Ooya Hideki, she also watched "Azure Blue" and laughed so hard that her abdominal muscles grew. She also watched "One Punch Man" and laughed so hard that her blood boiled.

Both of these films have some comedic elements, and with this previous record, and looking back at Sato Yu's career as a director, he does give the audience an impression of being a "lunatic" who is not serious and always makes sudden unexpected turns in seemingly serious plots, making the audience burst into laughter.

But at this moment, listening to the characters' sad lines and feeling the heavy atmosphere created in the play, Kumiko Aoki suddenly became serious, realizing that there would be no funny twist this time.

In this regard, the opening of the anime is indeed very effective, making people put aside their stereotypes at once. In addition, Hideki Oya also sighed.

"It's really well drawn. Each anime character is portrayed so delicately, but it's not the kind of cuteness that Kyoto Animation has. Instead, it matches the tone of the plot and is more realistic. The young man Sato Yuu is really leading Kyoto Animation's people away from their previous acting style as the supervisor."

When mentioning Kyoto Animation, people will immediately think of the cute characters in their animations. Especially with the addition of several cute animation supervisors such as Takemoto Yasuhiro, Yamada Naoko, and Ishida Naomi, the style of the pictures is still obviously different from the Kyoto Animation style, and it has its own flavor. This shows Sato Yu's dominance in the production team.

Just a few dozen seconds of filming has perfectly responded to the rumors on the Internet that Sato Yu cannot convince the public and that the new work is actually completely led by Kyoto Animation people. This really amazed Oya Hideki.

[I am not qualified to hug this child.]

[Kiritsugu, don't forget, creating a world where no one needs to cry like you are now, this is the ideal you, Emiya Kiritsugu, desire, right? If you persist for another eight years, you and I will be able to realize our ideals, and the Holy Grail will definitely redeem you.]

Emiya Kiritsugu refused his wife Irisviel's request, so he tried to comfort her, which naturally led to the concept of the "Holy Grail".

"What is the Holy Grail?"

Kumiko Aoki was puzzled, but Oya Hideki was still unclear about it and could only speak uncertainly.

"It is said that this is a cup that can make wishes come true?"

After answering this, Oya Hideki chuckled.

Just a few words aroused their curiosity and sparked their interest. Although the director Sato Yu is young, he is always so experienced in script arrangement and line selection.

"Keep watching."

With a table full of snacks, the two continued to savor this story that was destined to be heavy and gloomy, and tried to grasp love and hope from it.

Then, the BGM changes and the title of the play is inserted as a transition. The time advances by five years, and the characters and locations also change, moving to the scene of Tokitoki and Kotomine, father and son.

In the auditorium, Tousaka Tokitoki introduces the rules of the Holy Grail War.

[Holy Grail War, the war for the Miracle Wishing Machine, the Holy Grail selects seven Masters who are responsible for controlling the Servants...]

“What an interesting worldview.”

Different from the original work in the previous life, I always felt that the famous duet scene between Tousaka Tokichi and Kotomine Risho used to handle the long shots here was really low-level, confusing, boring and empty, so Sato Yu boldly made improvements.

He did not memorize the original work completely, nor would he copy it rigidly. He would draw the storyboards based on what he thought would be better.

So the bored duo turned into a series of changing images. The Holy Grail, the Command Spell, the magician, the Master, the Heroic Spirit, and Sato Yu were all given a general image, and then they were shown one after another along the course of the explanation, giving this long dialogue a more prominent visual effect.

This clever idea worked, and Kumiko Aoki, who always preferred gorgeous pictures, applauded.

Then, after this explanation, the camera cuts to Berserker's master Matou Kariya, and sees the lively and cute little girl Toosaka Rin appear...

"Kawaii~"

Shouting, squinting her eyes, Kumiko Aoki smiled sweetly, and it seemed that she was completely attracted by the distinctive and beautiful characters in the play. Looking at her girlfriend who was already fascinated by the play, he finally let go of the worry that she would not like this serious work. Oya Hideki also chuckled, and then looked at the screen more comfortably.

[Sakura is no longer my daughter and Rin's sister. ]

The cute girl and the relaxed interaction lasted only a moment. With the words of the beautiful wife Toosaka Aoi, the return home of Matou Kariya, and the change of BGM, the plot began to return to darkness.

"This old man looks like a bad guy."

Regarding the gloomy bald old man who appeared on TV, his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki directly judged him by his appearance and hit the nail on the head.

"Indeed, he is hated by his son, but he still forced himself on someone else's daughter. Maybe he is the final boss of this work? No, this is a half-year series, and a character of that level should not appear at this time."

Compared to his girlfriend's sentimentality, Oya Hideki analyzed the old man's ingredients more rationally. At the same time, he had almost finished eating the roast chicken, so he moved the fried tempura plate a little closer. He handed one to his girlfriend and took one for himself, and the two of them tasted the wonderful taste of the prawns.

[Stinky old man, could it be you! ]

Matou Kariya, who had always been extremely gentle in front of the Tousaka mother and daughter, shouted angrily. Oya Hideki and Aoki Kumiko were both startled by this sudden roar.

And then, the camera turned, and they saw Toosaka Sakura in the basement... no, now it should be said that it was a girl named Matou Sakura.

The scene was hellish, with a poor naked girl covered in wounds, lifeless and empty eyes, and worms crawling all over the basement and on her body...

"vomit!"
