Visiting

The issue of postpartum confinement was finally resolved by Ren. As a husband, he needed to mediate between his wife and mother, especially when it wasn't really a conflict.

Under Ren's mediation, Jada agreed to stay home for a month, but many traditional practices were dropped.

For example, the old belief that women in confinement shouldn't bathe or wash their hair to avoid catching cold was incorrect. In fact, a shower was possible after about a week, and during the initial period, sponge baths were acceptable.

Additionally, when it came to postpartum diet, Ren convinced his mother not to follow outdated recipes. He consulted doctors and nutritionists to determine the best dishes to serve Jada.

Of course, someone needed to handle company matters while Jada was recovering. Since she couldn't go to the office, it naturally fell to Ren to step in.

The day after Jada returned home, Ren dressed casually and headed to the company.

Accompanied by Jada's secretary, Claire, Ren entered the office and stood by the window, gazing at the view. In that moment, he felt a surge of ambition. He imagined making significant improvements to the company during his temporary leadership, earning Jada's admiration.

However, reality was different.

At this moment, Ren was playing games.

Yes, he was playing "League of Heroes" (previously known as "League of Legends"). The name and some game elements had been humorously modified. Ren was using the Asuna skin for Fiora, battling Renekton, and he was frustrated by the black screen after his game crashed.

"This isn't what I expected," Ren sighed.

"Boss, what's not as expected?" Claire asked as she walked in, overhearing Ren.

Since Ren was acting boss in Jada's absence, Claire felt it was her duty to help him.

"It's just…" Ren gestured vaguely. "I always saw my wife being really busy. But now that I'm here, there's nothing to do."

"Well, back then, the company was in crisis. But thanks to your help, it's now running smoothly. Naturally, there's less to do," Claire explained.

"Oh, I see."

Ren nodded in understanding.

Indeed, a well-run company doesn't usually need the boss for every little issue. Otherwise, what's the point of having managers and other roles? Previously, Jada's company was struggling, so she had to work extra hard.

Now, the company had grown stronger.

The manga division was managed by an editor-in-chief, the finances had a chief financial officer, and the gaming department was overseen by Xena…

Ren's main task seemed to be signing documents. Unless there was something truly significant, he would just call Jada for instructions.

Considering this, it seemed there was really nothing for him to do.

"Sigh," Ren sighed again.

Seeing his boss's disheartened look, Claire suggested, "Boss, why don't you visit the studio or the Ultraman park? I heard they're working on 'Ultraman Nexus' and the Dyna statue is being constructed today."

"Huh?" Ren perked up at Claire's suggestion.

The Dyna statue?

Ren was intrigued. He decided to follow Claire's advice and headed to the Ultraman park.

Wearing a safety helmet, Ren toured the construction site of the Ultraman park with the project manager.

To be honest, there wasn't much to see yet—just lots of hammering and construction noises.

Knowing Ren was an amateur in construction, the project manager focused on explaining the data.

Ren held the blueprint and, after a moment of thought, asked, "So, the original design has the Dyna Ultraman in a pose shooting beams, right?"

"Yes, we plan to install lights on Dyna's elbows so it looks like he's shooting beams at night," the project manager confirmed, though unsure why Ren asked.

Ren suddenly smiled. "Can we change the design a bit? Instead of a beam pose, what if we make it like this…"

Ren's idea was to turn the statue into an interactive attraction.

Instead of a static pose, he proposed Dyna kneel on one knee with a small building resembling the Victory Phoenix on his shoulder. Visitors could enter the structure, and when enough people were inside, Dyna would slowly stand up. Wouldn't that be cool?

"It's doable," the project manager, experienced in such matters, nodded after a brief thought. "But it will cost more than originally planned."

Ren sent a message to Jada, received her approval, and waved his hand decisively. "Do it."

It was clear that an interactive statue where visitors could ride and be lifted would be much more popular with kids than a simple light-up statue!

However, creating such an attraction would require more meticulous design, considering Dyna's height. "Fifty-three meters. It'll be a disaster if it collapses due to design flaws."

After discussing these details, Ren continued to tour the island.

Originally an uninhabited island when purchased, much of it was still undeveloped despite some initial construction.

After seeing the general layout of the island, Ren had an idea.

He envisioned an Ultraman-themed park at the center, surrounded by other anime-themed areas.

For example, he could create a "Cells at Work" themed park, designing buildings to match the manga's setting, and include commercial and entertainment facilities and hotels. He could also collaborate with "Cooking Master Boy" to include themed restaurants.

There was a cliff on the island with a beach below it.

He imagined turning the cliff into a wall from "Attack on Titan," with statues of Eren and others on the beach and a giant Titan's upper body and hands on the cliff.

This idea seemed fantastic!

The more Ren thought about it, the more excited he became. So he decided to proceed with this vision!

Of course, given the current state of the facilities, it would take a long time to realize this dream.

After touring the island, Ren visited the set of "Ultraman Nexus" being filmed at the company's studio.
