Great Mangaka

Of course, Takumi and Reika ultimately failed to negotiate.

He didn't like being forced, and it was difficult to predict what NHK would do with the Detective Conan series without his participation.

He told Genji, who was surprised.

"NHK had this idea...". He apologized to Takumi: "Don't take their words to heart. NHK has thousands of programming groups, and the news is relatively independent. They won't be controlled by the animation group."

NHK News is backed by the central government and will not be influenced by others. Perhaps it will promote some programs from this television station, but it will not make things difficult for Takumi. He will continue to appear in the news when he needs to.

Takumi let the matter go and later met with Miyuki to discuss the Mirai-sensei's House forum.

Mirai-sensei's House server has been moved to the Hinotori Building, and the new forum structure is underway. Although it has not been officially announced to the outside world, news of its acquisition by Takumi has spread online for some time, and the number of registered users has already skyrocketed to 100,000.

Thousands of reader groups have already used this forum as their base and have even created their own sections, but there are still more people waiting, as Takumi has not made a clear statement.

"When will they give it an official label?" asked Miyuki, who had always been looking forward to this moment. She is in charge of the forum and hopes that Takumi will recognize Mirai-sensei's House as soon as possible.

"No rush." But Takumi is not in a hurry. After checking the situation on the forum, he commented: "When the game is finished, I might have to sell it through Mirai-sensei's House."

"For Mirai-sensei's House to sell Fate/Stay Night?"

Miyuki was surprised, but she thought about it. Fate/Stay Night is not a large-scale game. The cost could be recouped if 1,000 or 2,000 people bought it. Hinotori Publishing has no physical channels for game sales. Online sales are an economical and convenient option.

Furthermore, Mirai-sensei's House sales can also increase the forum's popularity, which is a big advantage.

"You also need to prepare a section for me where excellent fan works can be published in the future," Takumi said: "The editors and I will occasionally take a look, and perhaps we can find some potential mangaka...".

Although it was just an idea, Takumi wanted to turn Mirai-sensei's House into an authoritative fan forum.

"No problem." Miyuki noted: "What will the section be called?"

Takumi smiled: "Castle in the Sky, let's call it Castle in the Sky."

He thought of the song "Castle in the Sky." It should be impossible to bring the film "Castle in the Sky" to this life, so it's better to turn it into a sacred song for fans: only the most outstanding works can enter Castle in the Sky.

Thus, Takumi's vacation ended. Upon returning home, it was already dark, and Shiori returned to school. She left a love letter on Takumi's bed.

Takumi looked at it and threw it aside.

After a good night's sleep, the next day, Takumi, who was still having breakfast, received a call. Alice informed him that the Fate/Stay Night game had been leaked.

Osaka, a new week arrived with overwhelming press.

"Mirai-sensei's mysterious game is revealed! Fate/Stay Night!" "Hinotori Publishing develops a game that costs 20,000,000 yen!" "Fate/Stay Night! Mirai-sensei creates a pornographic game!"

A series of reports left many stunned. Thousands of readers who were looking forward to Mirai-sensei's new game were disappointed and left messages online to express their regret.

"Pornographic game? Mirai-sensei, you can take things easy!"

"What can 20,000,000 yen do? Sensei, are you superficial?"

Of course, besides regret, there are also those who express understanding.

"Pornographic games are not bad; I support Mirai-sensei."

"Who said Fate/Stay Night means fate stays overnight? Didn't you graduate from elementary school? With such a philosophical name, Mirai-sensei must be digging a big hole!"

Newspapers rushed to report it, and of course, thousands of video game companies were delighted. Mirai-sensei created a sales miracle in the manga industry, and thousands in Osaka knew it. Ever since he announced game production a few weeks ago, thousands of video game companies got scared.

However, when the newspaper came out today, employees of thousands of companies laughed.

"A game worth 20,000,000 yen, Mirai-sensei is playing games with us!"

"In these times, 20,000,000 yen is not enough to make a web game; Mirai-sensei is too stingy!"

The video game industry in Japan is very popular. Thousands of people play some games when they have nothing to do after work. Game promotion pays a lot of attention to cost promotion, and games with high costs are often easily recognized by players.

Players often equate game quality with cost. If a game has a high production cost, it's natural for them to think it's great, at least that the graphics will be excellent.

In this era, a trend has formed in the video game industry: games are becoming more and more expensive and have become an object of extravagant spending. Thousands of people always see tens and hundreds of millions of yen in video game research and development funds. Today,

when it became known that Hinotori Publishing had spent 20,000,000 yen to develop a game, no one stopped laughing.

However, Kanto Manga Company, which should have been prouder, could not laugh at that moment.

"What's wrong? Who did it?" Yang slammed the newspaper on the table in anger and shouted at his secretary: "Go investigate immediately! You must find out the source of these reports!"

Kanto's headquarters had ordered Yang not to use violent means to suppress Mirai-sensei and Hinotori Publishing. If today's newspaper had been written by his subordinates, Yang would be in serious trouble.

"Minister, I've asked someone to investigate. Don't worry. It wasn't people from our company who did it." The secretary wiped his sweat and replied: "I think it might be someone from Hinotori Publishing who leaked the news to the media. It has absolutely nothing to do with us."

"Inside Hinotori Publishing?" Yang, with some suspicion, said: "Anyway, hurry up and investigate. If it's someone from our company, whoever it is, take them out immediately and explain it clearly."

"Yes."

The secretary nodded, ready to leave.

"Wait." Yang asked before leaving: "Have you found Duke Anthony?"

"No."

The secretary shook his head: "There's still no news of him."

At Hinotori Publishing, a major investigation also began.

Fate/Stay Night was leaked, and the most nervous person was not Takumi, but Alice. Today's report is still very superficial, with almost no substantial content, but no one knows how much has been leaked.

Alice is not worried about other content being leaked; she fears that Saber's love affairs will be discovered. Although mangaka only need to draw, and there are not thousands of people who know Fate/Stay Night's plot, it is difficult to guarantee that it was leaked by a few.

If King Arthur's love affairs are revealed, hopefully, everything will be fine. If not, regulatory authorities could prohibit the pre-sale of Fate/Stay Night.
