Chapter 620 620: Are We Really Watching a Horror Movie?

Whether she would really go on strike in the future, Ichin didn't know. But he was certain that if a similar opportunity appeared again, he would still drag Kō along.

Listening to Kō's complaints, Ichin said with a smile, "You really dislike it that much? Going on strike, even? You should know that after appearing this time, you gained quite a lot of fans."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Aoba nodded repeatedly. "After watching the livestream, we checked several game forums. A lot of players were talking about you, Kō! They even dug up the Fairies Story series you worked on before, and some photos of you appearing in game magazines!"

"Huh? They even found those? No way!!!"

As soon as she heard that, Kō immediately started flailing around on the sofa. To her, those old interviews and things like that were black history she absolutely did not want to see again.

But whether she liked it or not, those old materials had already been dug up.

Ichin had seen them long ago. In fact, everyone present had already seen them as well.

Ignoring Kō, who was still twisting around on the sofa, Ichin walked straight into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Utaha, Yukino, and Iijima Yun were preparing dinner for the evening. Umiko had already placed the barbecue she prepared into the oven, so there was nothing left for her to help with. She was now happily playing with the cats in the living room.

Seeing Ichin enter and immediately put on an apron, Utaha smiled and said, "Ichin, you should take a rest. The three of us can handle it."

"It's fine. I'm not tired today. I'm not like Kō, acting like she's dying after being on stage for such a short time."

As he spoke, he washed his hands and walked over to Yukino.

"How many vegetables still need cutting? I'll handle them."

Yukino nodded and handed over part of the chopping work to him.

Yun looked at Ichin, then at Yukino, and finally at Utaha. Tilting her head in confusion, she eventually went back to her own task.

During this period, it wasn't just Yun. The others had gradually begun to notice something unusual about the relationship between Ichin, Utaha, and Yukino. However, it wasn't something they could ask about openly, so they could only quietly observe.

Ichin vaguely noticed everyone's reactions, but he didn't care much. Ever since Haruno discovered their situation, the three of them had gradually become more open in front of old companions like Kō.

If someone asked about it, they wouldn't mind explaining. But since no one had asked so far, they were happy to keep things as they were.

At six in the evening, dinner was finally ready. Everyone gathered around and enjoyed a lively meal together.

Sure enough, once the food was served, Kō immediately forgot about the gloom she had when she first returned. Her mood instantly brightened as she picked up a grilled lamb rib and began gnawing on it.

"Mmm, it's been so long since I've eaten Umiko's barbecue. It still tastes amazing."

Hearing Kō's praise, Umiko smiled.

"There wasn't enough time today. Next time we have a gathering, I'll make something even better for you all."

Upon hearing that, Momiji nodded repeatedly, not even having time to swallow the meat in her mouth.

Once the atmosphere at the dinner table grew lively, everyone began chatting again about the Tokyo Game Show.

Besides their company's presentation today, two major companies, Konami and Square Enix, would also start livestream promotions later in the night segment.

While eating, Aoba looked at Ichin.

"Ichin, when you were there earlier, did you see any famous producers?"

"No," Ichin shook his head. Opening his mouth, he ate a peeled shrimp that Utaha had handed to him before continuing, "When we arrived, there weren't many people backstage. The real highlights will be in the next two days, so there's no rush. Why? Do you want some producer autographs? I could temporarily assign you to help at the booth tomorrow. During your free time, you could go look for the producers you want to meet. I heard that Shigeru Miyamoto and several Nintendo producers will be attending this time."

"I'll pass on going to the venue," Aoba said quickly, shaking her head. "I'll just work normally. If I went there, I wouldn't know what to do anyway. And as for autographs, I've already gotten plenty these past two years. There's no one I particularly want anymore."

As the company gradually gained fame, combined with Hazuki's connections, they had met several famous game producers whom they once never even dreamed of encountering.

Especially with Nintendo. Since the collaboration had gone very smoothly, Aoba and the others had participated in several exchange activities with them. They had met quite a few famous producers, not only getting autographs but even taking photos together.

At this moment, Rin suddenly said thoughtfully, "By the way, I heard that Bethesda will also participate in tomorrow's livestream event. It hasn't been publicly announced. It's supposed to be one of the surprises this time."

"Huh? Really?" Kō looked at Rin in surprise. "How come I didn't know about that?"

Rin smiled. "When we were at the venue earlier, you were so nervous that you could barely keep yourself together. How could you possibly notice things like that? But Ichin heard it, right? The host mentioned it to us afterward."

Ichin nodded. "Yeah, I did hear the host mention it."

"..."

Yagami Kō couldn't take it anymore. Feeling even more embarrassed about how she behaved today, she immediately threw herself into Rin's arms.

"Waaah, Rin, I'm too embarrassed to face anyone now."

Rin maintained her gentle smile as she hugged Kō and softly patted her head.

Seeing Kō like this, Mochizuki Momiji blinked, then quietly grabbed another grilled rib from the table. Nene and Aoba quickly joined in as well, happily competing for the food.

Seeing this, Rin smiled and said to the Kō in her arms, "Kō, if you keep acting like this, there won't be anything left for you to eat."

"Huh?"

Kō turned her head and immediately saw that only a few grilled ribs remained on the table. At that moment, Eriri picked up another one.

"Hey! Leave some for me!"

She had just climbed out of Rin's arms and picked up her chopsticks when Ichin beat her to it and grabbed another rib.

Taking a bite, Ichin smiled.

"Quick hands get the food, slow hands get nothing, Kō. There's no time for crying at the dinner table."

Glancing angrily at Ichin, Kō finally stopped making a fuss and focused on eating.

Even if the grilled ribs were almost gone, there were plenty of other delicious dishes today.

The lively dinner lasted two hours. Afterward, everyone sat around resting for a while and drank some tea before saying their goodbyes.

As for Eriri, since her home was also in the villa district, she didn't go back. Instead, she went upstairs to the media room with the others to watch a movie together.

They had previously watched two Scary Movie films, so this time it was time for the third one. And since Eriri hadn't watched these older movies in a long time, she was quite interested.
