Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha both looked at Sawamura Sayuri with disbelief, and under their gazes, Sawamura Sayuri became a little embarrassed.
She scratched her cheek and turned her head to look in the other direction.
What do you guys think?
"It's quite good."
After a long silence, Machida Sonoko finally spoke up.
She clearly had a lot to say, but they were in the office right now.
So, Machida Sonoko led Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Sayuri to a small meeting room.
After placing two cups of hot tea in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Sayuri respectively, Machida Sonoko also sat down.
Those eyes, painted with eyeshadow, looked at Sayuri Sawamura with a complicated expression.
"Yuriko-sensei's project is really big, with games, anime, manga, novels, radio dramas, and even real-life concerts. It's a series of plans that connect all aspects."
Looking at the proposal on the table, Machida Sonoko sighed and shook her head.
"The possibility of completing it is too difficult."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was next to Sawamura Sayuri, raised her head slightly and looked at Sawamura Sayuri with some concern.
A hint of hesitation flashed deep within those captivating purple eyes. She gently bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, but finally spoke.
"Yuriko-senpai, I think so too. This project involves just too many aspects. Senpai, you..."
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't finish her sentence, the unfinished meaning was quite clear.
For such a project to succeed, it must involve a large company.
While resources for promotion, production of animations, games, and light novels can be done step by step, the investment is still substantial.
"I'm not stupid, what do you take me for?"
Sawamura Sayuri rolled her eyes slightly and gave Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha a glare each.
Of course, she wasn't that stupid. If she wanted to complete this project, she definitely couldn't do it on her own.
Or rather, funding can come slowly and there's not much to worry about, but other resources and connections are where she falls short.
The income from manga and light novels in recent years has actually brought Sawamura Sayuri a lot of revenue.
Although I don't know about the manga aspect, as far as Machida Sonoko knows, the light novel revenue, plus income from merchandise and other sources, brings Sawamura Sayuri nearly one billion yen in pre-tax income every year.
Therefore, Sayuri Sawamura is very rich.
As Kasumigaoka Utaha said, she wasn't worried about insufficient initial investment.
"So, Yuriko, you must have already thought about what you're going to do, right?"
Sawamura Sayuri chuckled, and the difference between Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha became apparent.
However, this is also true, as Kasumigaoka Utaha is only a high school student.
She might be considered one of the more mature high school students, and with her current sales of 500,000 copies, her income is almost tens of millions of yen, making her quite wealthy even among adults.
However, their insight and sensitivity on certain issues are still somewhat lacking.
"Yuanzi, what do you think of Bandai?"
Machida Sonoko raised an eyebrow and looked at Sawamura Sayuri.
Bandai is one of the largest comprehensive entertainment companies in Japan, involved in entertainment, internet, anime products, merchandise, music, movies, and games.
So, Sayuri Sawamura said she was looking for Bandai.
According to her plan, this is indeed the most suitable company.
But would Bandai be willing to cooperate?
In the world of manga and light novels, Sayuri Sawamura has become a legendary figure after her immense popularity over the past few years.
However, in the eyes of those capitalists, they probably aren't quite qualified.
"Yuriko, are you serious?"
When discussing serious topics, Machida Sonoko's expression became very earnest.
She stared intently at Sayuri Sawamura, trying to read her thoughts from her face.
Sawamura Sayuri simply smiled slightly at Machida Sonoko's gaze.
"Of course I wouldn't just blindly go looking for it; I'd naturally make some progress first."
Hearing Sawamura Sayuri say that, Machida Sonoko finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Sayuri Sawamura is not one of those ignorant and naive young people.
They thought that if they had a good plan, capitalists would flock to invest.
Even angel investors with a good reputation worldwide will only invest in you if you achieve initial results.
A proposal, a plan?
Sorry, but these kinds of things are probably already rotting in piles in the warehouses of those investment companies.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, standing to the side, remained silent.
She silently watched Machida Sonoko and Sawamura Sayuri discussing something, and a sudden wave of irritation washed over her.
At that moment, she realized how superfluous she was.
At school, in front of her classmates, in front of Eriri, and in front of Aki Tomoya, she was so mature.
She can always manipulate these people completely, just like a queen.
But now, she feels that perhaps in the eyes of her admired senior, Sayuri Sawamura, she is still a child.
He's just a child who hasn't grown up and whose thinking isn't mature enough.
Therefore, sometimes she does things as a joke.
Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her cherry lips tightly, remaining silent.
It wasn't until Sayuri Sawamura and Sonoko Machida had a discussion that they left the editorial department of Shinazugawa Bunko.
After walking for quite a while, it wasn't until they were almost at the tram station that Sayuri Sawamura realized what was happening.
Throughout the journey, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was beside her, remained so quiet that she didn't utter a single word.
She turned to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her, but saw a hint of melancholy on the girl's face.
"What's wrong, Xiao Shiyu?"
Sawamura Sayuri asked with concern, but also with a hint of confusion.
Everything was fine when we met at the editorial office just now. Did anything happen afterward?
Sawamura Sayuri thought back carefully, but couldn't remember anything.
"Yuriko-senpai, will you look down on me? You've helped me a lot, but now I can't help you at all."
Sawamura Sayuri stared blankly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, seeing the once elegant and quiet girl now displaying a tearful expression before her.
It took her a while to realize why Kasumigaoka Utaha had become so silent.
So it was because she felt she hadn't offered any suggestions in the meeting room and therefore couldn't help her?
