Rikka Appears Again

"Hmph, where did you go yesterday?"

Biting her slightly red and swollen lips after being bullied, Hina rarely played around with the small temperament women were born with.

Asahi stood by the iron railings, gazing at the fine weather, and replied, "Watch the piano competition."

At this moment, the clouds overhead parted, sunlight shone down, and the world around seemed repainted and extraordinarily bright.

"Piano Competition?"

Hina suppressed her curiosity and said, "I forgive you."

"Forgive me?"

Asahi stared blankly: "I already reported it to my beautiful girlfriend before."

"What kind of girlfriend, I don't know."

Hina hides her embarrassment and turns her back to him.

Asahi came closer and hugged Hina's waist, and bit her ear: "Maybe I won't have much time to accompany you in the future, anime and game production needs to speed up its progress."

"I don't want you to accompany me, you just want to bully me all day."

Because the itch near the earlobe, and even the itch in her heart is like a cat's scratching. Hina broke away from Asahi's embrace, and took a few steps back with her hands behind her back, afraid that he might do something impulsive.

"Is that true?"

"Really...."

Pure Hina spoke insincerely.

Asahi suddenly nodded: "Hina-chan will wait for me for three months."

"Why did it take three months?"

Hina was shocked, she thought it would only be ten days or half a month, but three months was too long.

Counting on her fingers, she felt that she couldn't hold it for half a month at most, sometimes men weren't the only ones missing, women wanted more attention.

"Three months of making games and anime is very short."

Asahi explained seriously: "Others use the year as a cycle, and maybe they will miss the ticket when something goes wrong, and it will take longer."

After he finished speaking, he hid his smile very well, and looked at Hina who was clearly displeased but couldn't get him to give up his job. She was a woman who would consider him future rather than patronizing him.

"I see."

Despite being at a disadvantage, Hina still agrees.

"Just kidding, doesn't mean I can't see you at all." Asahi tries to cheer up.

"It's okay, you are busy with your own work."

Asahi has to say that it's great that Hina is considerate.

...

After school, Asahi took Mashiro... ah no, took the initiative to take her to the school gate, and Kazusa was already waiting here.

...

Back to Sakurasou.

"My nails! My family member… Who is she?"

In the second half of Chuunibyou's sentence, Kobato saw a stranger, hurriedly hid behind Asahi, and her momentum plummeted.

"Friend Onii-chan, don't be afraid." Asahi was comforting in a way.

Asahi took out the guest's slippers.

"Excuse me."

Kazusa followed to Sakurasou, and looked at the interior with cold eyes. Compared to the Touma family's mansion, the outside of this place was nothing but a slum.

It's fine inside, although there is a creaking sound on the way up the stairs.

"Go to Misaki's room and ask for a copy of the anime material. Think about music yourself, and talk to me if you have inspiration."

Asahi asked Kazusa to relax more.

Kazusa understood, and went to the second floor to find Misaki.

And Asahi returned to the room and started doing his own work.

"Daddy, welcome back."

When the computer resumes from hibernation, an icon in the lower right corner of the screen will appear automatically.

"Well, have you looked at my e-mail lately?"

It had been half a month since Hatsune Miku was born, and Asahi was always asking her to help him with personal matters like Ryuunosuke's maid, like answering some insignificant e-mails and the like.

At first, Hatsune Miku isn't good at distinguishing the important from the insignificant, but as her learning abilities increase, especially when she understands the relationships of everyone around Asahi. She automatically ranked by relationship distance, including a partner, a girl he flirted with, a friend, a chance encounter, etc.

Among them, Kobato, Youko, Hina, Utaha, Mashiro, and Kazusa were considered the first priority echelon.

"Yes, daddy, because of [Kotonoha no Niwa], there have been 318 emails congratulating you on the success of the anime film, and I have taken the initiative myself to reply to you…"

"1149 spam emails, all blocked and deleted."

"12 important pieces of information, three reminders, and one progress Ryuunosuke-sama."

"Sonoko-san hopes daddy will send the script to her before June 10th."

"Ryuunosuke-sama reports that the game engine development process has reached 23%, and key personnel from the game studio found four people..."

While coding the script, Asahi listened to Miku report various situations, and at the same time let him know some not-so-important information.

"Daddy, don't bother you anymore, I will chat with the maid."

After speaking, Miku disappeared from the screen.

Miku chatted with the maid, no wonder she grew up so fast, a little faster than Asahi had expected.

...

The following days last until mid-June.

[Kimi no Nawa] started production.

Busy between game production, including serialization of new novel volumes, and mentoring Kazusa from time to time.

Asahi feels like he hasn't been busy in a long time. During that period, Nayuta came to Sakurasou and only occasionally caused trouble, she still knew her limits very well.

On June 16, Takanashi Rikka, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly returned with Kobato.

"Sorry, Asahi Onii-san."

Saluting politely, Rikka didn't seem too good.

As Rikka went upstairs, Asahi pulled Kobato to his side and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with Rikka?"

Kobato didn't seem to be in a good mood, she pouted and said, "Big sister Rikka went abroad to study for half a year. She plans to send Rikka to her grandparents' house in the countryside. Rikka didn't want to come back, so she ran away from home and hid here. Onii-chan, don't tell her big sister, okay?"

"Eh..."

Asahi fell silent, what a child's way of thinking.

It was thought that when Tokka found out that Rikka was not home at night, she would call. Rikka has no friends, and only a few places to go
