Chapter 301 Washboard or Keyboard? That is the Question
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 15:39:59 +0000 UTCIn the chairman's office at Washimine's Tokyo headquarters, Miss Shion looked at Nanaya with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong? Our great director? Why do you look so miserable?"
“…”
Nanaya's silence didn't make Shion let him go.
"Oh, and congratulations on getting married to a female noble. She is a rising star in the British diplomatic community and is known as the woman with the most perfect body in the UK~"
"From my personal point of view, her breasts are too big and her waist is too thin. She might break her waist someday. So I suggest you pay attention to your new girlfriend's waist load-bearing capacity."
If it was just a simple joke, Nanaya wouldn't think anything of it.
But when Nanaya saw the crumpled report in Shion's hand, he felt that his life was really in danger.
"Girlfriend's turtle! I just danced with Ryan! There's really nothing else to it!"
Nanaya felt a slight pain in his stomach, and now he finally understood what had happened.
"Weren't you there when Ryan and I met?! You should know that the reports are all bullshit, right?!"
"Oh, how come I remember someone came with a big chest and a face?"
Shion was still smiling, and judging from her expression alone, others would probably think she was very happy, but the movements of her hands revealed everything.
Originally, Shion was thinking about praising him when Nanaya came over today.
Although the initial popularity of the Fate movie has passed, the sales of Fate peripherals are getting better and better.
In order to earn more profits from peripheral products, Washimine followed Disney's example and made a very detailed segmentation of the Fate peripheral licensing.
For example, for mugs, Washimine divides them into several types according to the materials, including ceramic, plastic, and wood, and then licenses them separately.
The company that obtained the license for Saber's wooden mug is only allowed to produce wooden mugs with Saber printed on them.
If you want to make a ceramic cup, or want to print Rin Tohsaka.
Sorry, you need to apply for permission from Washimine again, otherwise it will be an infringement.
As for the action figures of Fate characters, Washimine further subdivided them into assembled and finished products, and then divided them into one-twelfth, one-sixth, one-quarter and other series according to the proportions, and then sold them to various toy companies.
But even so, each company still rushed to get authorization, and even followed Washimine's requirements strictly, for fear that they would cross the line and cause Washimine to directly refuse to cooperate.
Shion originally planned to wait for Nanaya to come back, praise him first, then talk about work, and then invite him to dinner at a high-end restaurant.
Then at night...
But!
Now!
All these plans were abandoned. Shion felt that she was being polite by not throwing Nanaya into Tokyo Bay.
Is it that our Japanese rich women don't have big breasts? Or has your taste for Kiryu Nanaya become more sophisticated?
This is probably Shion's most real thought at the moment.
Shion stood up, stretched out her hand to open the gap in the blinds, and looked at the reporters who had not yet completely left.
"That Shion..."
"Nanaye, you know what?" Shion said in a mocking tone, "It's been a long time since the front of the Washimine building was so lively. The last time there were so many reporters gathered was during the Famicom era. I really want to thank you this time~"
Ever since Washimine fell behind Sony in console platforms and the royalty system collapsed, Washimine's influence has been declining.
Although Washimine's influence has been recovering in recent years thanks to Shion's efforts, there has been no news worthy of such fanfare from reporters.
In fact, the biggest contributor to the reporters blocking the door this time was not Nanaya, but Ryougi Ori's popularity in the Japanese entertainment industry.
If the unlucky woman in Nanaya's love triangle was Shimoya Sakura, the reporters wouldn't be interested at all.
After all, it was normal for the little idol to be kicked away by the female noble.
"Uh, you're welcome."
As soon as Nanaya finished speaking, he was glared at by Shion.
"I'm not complimenting you!"
Nanaya shrank his neck when he was scolded.
"Well, take a look for yourself."
Shion took out a copy of The Sun and Friday from the drawer and handed them both to Nanaya.
Although Nanaya had heard a general explanation from Shion, he had never read the original report.
So he carefully opened the newspapers and magazines and started reading - because there were signs of being pulled hard, Nanaya was afraid that he would tear the newspapers and magazines if he used too much force.
Nanaya read the contents of The Sun carefully. The British paparazzi were indeed worthy of their reputation. They told the story of himself and Ryan in a very realistic way.
Especially the description of the love affair between herself and Ryan, although it was all fabricated, the writing was very smooth and it was difficult to find any traces of rumor. On the contrary, the only factual part, the dancing, was only mentioned briefly.
If his family members didn't know about his family affairs, Nanaya would have felt that he and Ryan must have had an affair.
Only after Nanaya carefully read the English and Japanese versions of the scandal about himself did he raise his head tremblingly.
"Did you finish reading it? What do you think?" Shion asked with a smile.
"I dare not. Please make the decision yourself, Queen."
Nanaya lowered his head and begged for mercy. He knew that this was the time to be cowardly.
"Do you know what I think?"
"have no idea."
"My opinion is... what a romantic modern Cinderella story~"
Shion was smiling, but there was no smile in the Queen's eyes.
"It has nothing to do with me!"
Nanaya didn't believe that Shion didn't know the whole story.
But unfortunately, women are completely unreasonable when it comes to this kind of thing.
Because what made Shion angry was not the scandal between Nanaya and Ryan, but the fact that the heroine in the scandal was not her.
Damn, I am the real white, rich and beautiful lady with assets worth tens of billions of dollars!
Aside from her bloodline and breasts, how can that outdated noblewoman compare to me?!
Shion was sulking inwardly, and just as she was struggling over how to deal with this philandering guy, the phone on her desk rang.
"Hello, Shion? I'm ready here."
"I'll be right there, Iwata-san."
Shion hung up the phone, she stood up and patted Nanaya on the shoulder: "You should read your love story carefully, I'm going to the meeting of the game department first."
After saying that, Shion walked towards the door with a smile.
"Oh, by the way." Shion turned around and reminded Nanaya, "I think you can think about how to explain it to Rin during this time. I believe she must know about this."
Nanaya's face fell the moment Shion closed the door.
"Can I be forgiven for kneeling on the washboard? That should be possible, right? Or using the keyboard?"
Nanaya, who was left alone, thought spinelessly.
————————————————————————
Just when Nanaya was struggling with what kind of torture instrument to use to gain forgiveness.
At the same time, the Trier locker room was in an uproar.
"Wow wow wow!!! So romantic!!!"
Yumi Sakutsuki rushed into the lounge with a copy of "Friday". She pointed at the photo of Nanaya and Ryan dancing and shouted loudly.
"Look at this one, and this one, they're so romantic!"
Yumi showed a trace of longing on her face: "In the banquet hall of the UK, under the attention of thousands of people, dancing with big brother ~ ah ~ I'm so envious ~"
"Show me."
Rin snatched the magazine from Yumi's hand and her face darkened after just two glances at her.
"Haha~ You're really brave~"
It would be fine if it was just weaving, since a man alone cannot influence the overall situation anyway.
But that woman Ryan...
"Sister Rin..."
Yumi was frightened by the aura that Rin exuded, and the timid girl almost cried.
"Sorry, this is back to you."
Rin stuffed the magazine back into Yumi's hand, then walked out of the lounge angrily. She planned to buy a copy of "Friday" for herself.
As a result, Rin happened to run into Sakura who had just returned from outside, and what was even more coincidental was that she was also holding a copy of "Friday" in her hand.
"You saw it, too?"
Although Rin didn't specify anything, Sakura knew exactly what she was talking about.
Sakura nodded, "Of course, otherwise why would I buy this."
"What do you think about this?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, and it doesn't matter what Nanaya thinks either."
Sakura said calmly, "I know exactly what kind of person he is. He has the will but not the guts. Unless this woman forces him into bed, he won't make a mistake."
"I suspect you are talking about me, although I have no evidence." Rin said with a pout.
But Sakura didn't pay attention to Rin's complaints. She handed the magazine to Rin and said, "What matters most is how that woman thinks. Look at the way this woman looks."
Sakura pointed to a high-resolution photo.
Rin saw in the photo that Ryan was hugging her man's waist, looking up, and looking at her male dance partner with a very unique look.
Rin didn't know whether there was love in that look, but she knew she would never look at a male friend with whom she had an ordinary relationship in that way.
[Damn it, could it be that this big lion also has feelings for Nanaya? ]
Seeing this, Rin and Sakura looked at each other, and they both clearly felt that something was upset in the other's heart.
"As expected, I still need a collar..."
Lin muttered quietly with a gloomy face.
"A collar alone may not be useful. A rope is also needed..."
Sakura's face was not looking good either. She wondered if she should learn from Rin's shamelessness and make some second-cooked rice to taste the flavor first?
"It must be because your breasts are too small that you can't control men." Sakura looked at Rin with contempt, "Give me a chance, and he won't covet that foreign woman's breasts anymore..."
"You're dreaming! I will definitely grow with his help!" Rin gave a middle finger.
"Hey, you guys, why didn't they kiss each other this time?"
Yumi asked excitedly to the others, pointing at the last photo.
“I don’t know…”
"Maybe? Even Kiryu-san might not be able to resist his charm."
The three foot-washing maids simply watched the show.
"Hehe~ Do you want to know?" Lily raised her head proudly, "I was there at the time~ Let me tell you--"
"Haha~ I'll let her kiss me!"
Rin suddenly said loudly.
Sizzle————
Rin tore the magazine in his hand into two pieces.
Suddenly, the lounge fell silent.
"Ah, my magazine."
After a long moment, Sakura quietly mourned to her magazine.
