Chapter 32: Can I say this?
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 14:20:46 +0000 UTC"Cheers to the successful release of Bronya and Yu's game!!!"
A lively celebration banquet was being held in the yard of Mei's villa.
On the spacious lawn, several girls and a boy sat together, with a charcoal stove burning continuously in the middle of them, and one side of the shelf was filled with marinated meat and vegetables, which were roasted little by little on the charcoal stove according to one's preference.
Originally, Kiana suggested drinking beer, but Mei suppressed her suggestion on the grounds that they were underage. So, the few of them could only drink juice instead of alcohol, and they still enjoyed it.
"I never thought you were so amazing, Ayu~"
Kiana drank a glass of juice in one gulp, exhaled, and then moved closer to Minamiya Yu, smiling and patting his shoulder.
"Sales exceeded 2 million copies in three days. Wow, apart from those blockbusters, I haven't seen such an outrageous result in a long time."
Sirin on the side also sighed, obviously quite surprised by the result.
Minamiya Yu put down the cup, smiled and waved at them: "It's not me who is awesome, it's Eden."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that. We've all played your game before. Sirin even cried for a long time on live broadcast!"
"You still bring it up!!"
Without caring about Minamiya Yu, Sirin turned around and started wrestling with Kiana.
"Be gentle, be careful not to get hurt~"
Seeing this, Mei just mentioned it briefly and then didn't bother to care anymore. There was nothing she could do, she was used to it.
She used tongs to pick up the meat and vegetables that were almost cooked on the charcoal stove and put some on the plates of Minamiya Yu, Bronya, and Seele.
"The seasoning is right next to it. I hope it suits your taste."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. I'm also very happy that we can all get together."
With a gentle smile on her face, Mei's voice was also quite gentle.
Kiana doesn't come to play every day, so the villa is quite deserted on weekdays. Mei cherishes the opportunity to get together with her friends.
Seele picked up a piece of still hot meat with chopsticks, blew on it gently, dipped it in some dry ingredients, and put it in her mouth. A happy expression immediately appeared on her face.
The rich gravy brought a rich aroma, and Seele couldn't help but sigh: "The food cooked by Mei is still so delicious."
"It's nothing, I just do it more often than usual."
"But Seele also cooks every day, and the food tastes far worse than what you cook, Mei."
Hearing Seele's voice sounding a little frustrated, Mei immediately said, "I'll teach you how to mix these sauces when I have time."
"Really? Thank you Mei~"
"Seele, you don't have to be polite to me."
Kiana and Sirin were still chasing and playing, and Seele was chatting with Mei about cooking. Out of boredom, Minamiya Yu moved closer to where Bronya was sitting.
But who knew that as soon as he got closer, he saw Bronya coming closer to him and pressing her body tightly against his.
"What's wrong?"
Bronya tied her hair up on one side and tilted her head slightly towards him. That intoxicating smile and leaning gesture, along with the faint fragrance that came to her face, made Minamiya Yu feel itchy in his heart.
I always feel that Bronya's attitude towards him these days is a little too nice. She likes to stick to him whenever she has nothing to do, which makes Seele a little dissatisfied.
Look, she was clearly chatting with Mei, but when she saw the two of them huddled together, she couldn't help but glance back.
"No, nothing serious, just wanted to ask how your Alahato is doing."
Talking about her own work, Bronya suddenly laughed happily: "Thanks to you, although it is not as good as your To the Moon, the sales volume has exceeded 200,000 copies."
Two hundred thousand copies in three days, it is indeed a hit.
She leaned her head on Minamiya Yu's shoulder and breathed warmly into his ear: "Thanks to your help with the promotion the past two days. This has far exceeded my expectations."
Bronya is like this. When she realizes her true feelings, she is much braver than Seele.
"Oh, um, it's nothing."
The whisper in the ear made Minamiya Yu's face turn red. It seemed to be the first time for her to have such close contact since she grew up.
"Brother, Sister Bronya, what are you talking about~"
Seele finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she quickly broke away from Mei and came to her brother and sister in three or two steps, looking at them with vigilance in her eyes.
"No, I was just talking about how Yu helped me promote the game."
After seeing Seele, Bronya smiled slightly, then took the initiative to move to the side, leaving some space, but in a position where Seele couldn't see, Bronya secretly stretched out her palm and covered Minamiya Yu's palm.
"Even if you're talking about this, you don't have to get so close..."
She whispered something in a low voice, but seeing sister Bronya and brother separated, Seele had no choice but to give up. Then, she sat on the other side of Minamiya Yu as if she was quite angry, and hugged Minamiya Yu's arm tightly.
Since everyone knows it now, Seele doesn't care about hiding it anymore and just declares her sovereignty directly.
Seeing this, Bronya just laughed, then gently tickled Minamiya Yu's palm with her fingers, causing him to tremble all over.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Seele's soft voice carried some grievance. Just now, brother didn't react at all when sister Bronya approached him, so why did brother tremble when Seele approached him? Doesn't he like Seele anymore?
"No, no, no, it's nothing. I just felt a little itchy when I was sitting on the grass. I'm fine now."
He quickly pulled his hand away from Bronya, and then held Seele in his arms as she cried out softly. While Seele had her back to him, he turned his head and glared at Bronya, who was smiling like a little devil.
Unfortunately, Bronya was not afraid at all. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that Seele couldn't see her and moved closer to Minamiya Yu, then grabbed his arm and wrapped it around her waist.
Then, she looked into Minamiya Yu's eyes and opened her mouth silently.
Based on her lip movements, Minamiya Yu quickly understood what she was saying.
"Hugging her from both sides, and with sisters, Yu, you must like it very much~"
Minamiya Yu: “!!!!”
The hand that was about to be pulled back froze there. Minamiya Yu's heartbeat quickened, and he couldn't help but imagine the scene described by Bronya in his mind.
In the room at night, Bronya and Seele...
This, this, this, can I say this?
At this moment, Seele, who was leaning comfortably on her brother, suddenly froze, and her cute face turned red almost instantly.
"Brother, brother..."
The shy murmur awakened Minamiya Yu's reverie, and he asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, Seele?"
"Brother, you, you hit Seele..."
"......"
At this moment, Minamiya Yu wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, never to come out again in this life.
