Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Originally.

Any company will definitely experience tax audits, and the Japanese Tax Bureau has always been relatively tolerant in this regard.

Even if you don't have an invoice for a certain expenditure, but you want to include it in the company's accounts, they will still recognize it even if you handwrite a note yourself.

In short, as long as you don't really evade taxes, there usually won't be any problems, so Yusuke Kato is not too worried.

After all, since the establishment of the studio, he has always operated in compliance with laws and regulations, and has nothing to feel guilty about.

Doesn’t your National Tax Office want to audit the accounts? I just need to cooperate with you. When the truth finally comes out, you should return my innocence, right?

But what people never expected is——

Instead of waiting for the justice to be redressed, he received a written notice requiring them to suspend business and undergo inspection.

Kato Yusuke found it unacceptable and asked Kondo Kazuto: "Prosecutor Kondo, are there any illegal issues in our studio?"

"It's not clear yet and we still need to investigate," Kondo said.

"If that's the case, why do we have to close?"

"Because your company has not been cleared of suspicion yet, you are obliged to cooperate with our work."

Kato Yusuke frowned, "Prosecutor Kondo, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but don't you think it's a bit too much to shut us down based on some groundless rumors?"

Kondo Kazuto said with a straight face and an angry voice:

"This has nothing to do with us. We all act in accordance with the law. If you have any opinions, you can complain, otherwise you must follow our instructions."

Kato Yusuke twitched his brows, and for a moment he didn't know how to communicate with this person.

Seeing that something was wrong with Kanoko, Ren on the side quickly put on a smile and said as tactfully as possible:

"Prosecutor Kondo, don't be angry. We will definitely cooperate with you when we need to cooperate. But suddenly shutting down our business has a huge impact on our work. Can you please be accommodating and allow us to be normal while doing the inspection?" what about work?"

"That's not possible, there is no need to discuss this matter." Kondo Kazuto refused with a tough attitude.

"In short, we have given a written notice, and you must close down your business and cooperate with all our inspections. You will not be able to reopen until the results of the investigation come out."

Seeing that Kanoko was hesitant to speak, Ren opened her mouth and was stunned until she had nothing to say.

Nakano Ryoko pondered for a moment: "Sorry, prosecutors, I would like to ask, how long will it take you to complete the inspection?"

Kondo Kazuto turned to look at her, paused and said:

"This is not clear yet. We can only say as soon as possible. The specific situation depends on the actual situation. The person in charge of your company and the financial officer have been paying attention to their mobile phones recently. We will call you before we come to check. Remember to come then."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took his two colleagues and left together.

…

same moment.

Within the gaming division of Sega Corporation.

Shimamura looked at the photos he received on his phone and couldn't help but clenched his fists excitedly. Then he strode to a certain office, opened the door and entered.

"Boss, are you busy? I have good news for you!"

Matsumoto Jun, who was behind the desk, was reading some information. When he suddenly interrupted him, he raised his head with a frown.

"I said, what's the matter with you kid? You're already a big boss and you're still bluffing all day long. Is there too little work arranged for you? It seems like I need to put more burdens on you."

"Hey, stop, boss!" Shimamura suddenly became anxious and scratched his head and said: "You must not add any more burdens to me. I have been staying up all night for several days. If I continue like this, I will die suddenly. No."

Jun Matsumoto was amused by his funny look. He raised his finger and tapped him a few times, and said with sincerity:

"You're the only one who talks a lot. We've just joined the new company, so there's no harm in working harder. Don't always talk about hardships, tiredness, etc. It will be bad if others hear it."

Shimamura nodded hurriedly, saying yes.

"How can I? I'm just telling you this, boss. Naturally, I can't let others know. Boss, you have finally brought everyone into a big company like Sega. The brothers all know what to do, and they will definitely not give it to you. Shame."

Matsumoto Jun nodded helpfully, waved his hand and said: "Okay, we are all our own people, so there is no need to say these polite words. What good news did you just say?"

"Yes, yes! Boss, look at this!"

"Huh? This is..."

"Boss, do you still remember the previous "TYPE-MOON"? They were asked by the National Taxation Office to suspend operations and undergo inspections, which just happened! "

Jun Matsumoto looked at the photos on Shimamura's phone and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Huh? What's going on? Are they breaking the law?"

Shimamura waved his hands triumphantly and spoke in a show off tone.

"Boss, you don't know something. I suddenly had a sudden impulse a few days ago and anonymously reported that kid to the tax bureau for tax evasion. Guess what? They were shut down today! It's really a blessing! It's so satisfying! !”

Jun Matsumoto was stunned when he heard this. Shimamura had never told him about this before. He couldn't help but frown slightly, "How do you know they have tax evasion?"

Shimamura spread his hands and said innocently:

"I don't know. I just wanted to give it a try and make him feel disgusted. Who would have thought that he would get it right! They must have evaded taxes, otherwise the tax bureau wouldn't have shut them down for no reason, right?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but grinned happily and patted his thigh with a look of pleasure.

"It's a good thing we left early! Otherwise, if we had stayed in their company, we might have been implicated in this matter!"

Jun Matsumoto did not comment on this, but asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get the photo on your phone from?"

Shimamura answered readily: "When I was fired by that brat, I took on private work for a while. Someone happened to be working at Sumitomo Building, so he sent me the photo."

He paused for a moment, then continued with a bright face.

"Let me tell you, this is retribution! You made that brat talk so arrogantly all day long, are you okay now? He was seized by the tax bureau, right? He deserves it, hahaha!"

Matsumoto Jun looked at his excited performance and understood that he was just retaliating. He felt something was wrong in his heart, so he said:

"After all, we are here to seek money. There is no need to make enemies with others just because of impulse. Let the past go. Don't dwell on "TYPE-MOON". "

Shimamura was a little unhappy when he heard this, thinking that you were not the one who was pointed at and scolded at that time, so of course you said it easily.

Even so, he did not dare to refute the boss face to face, but said vaguely: "...Don't worry, boss, I know these things well."

Jun Matsumoto nodded, "Well, that's all. I have to report to Special Agent Watanabe in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do, go back to work first."

"Commissioner Watanabe!?" Shimamura was shocked and asked: "Boss, which Commissioner Watanabe are you talking about? Is he the person in charge of game development??"

Matsumoto Jun smiled and asked: "What if? How many Watanabe specialists do you think there are in the group?"

"Oh my god! Boss, you are so awesome, aren't you?! You can even have a meeting with Commissioner Watanabe??!"

Matsumoto Jun said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense, I just went to report on the work. Special Agent Watanabe called me because he happened to be interested in our project."

Shimamura was in awe and nodded solemnly, "I understand, boss, please go ahead and I won't disturb you anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office quickly, fearing that he would affect Jun Matsumoto's preparations.

It's not that his reaction was exaggerated, but that Executive Watanabe had such a status within the group. Whether their project can take off depends entirely on the attitude of the other party.

Not to mention that he was still counting on Jun Matsumoto to lead him to success, so how could he be holding back on such a major matter that affected his future?

Returning to his work station with excitement, Shimamura didn't know what to do for a while, so he simply took out the seized photos of "TYPE-MOON" and admired them.

There's nothing I can do about it, he's so happy!

The former enemies were punished for breaking the law, and now the big leaders have shown interest in their projects. Is there anything happier than this?

As he thought about it, Shimamura couldn't help but become excited and had an urge to do something.

So he put down his phone, opened a forum on his computer, registered a small account, and then created a new post and started writing it...

…

In a villa in London, England.

Boom——!

Leonard Spencer slammed the table hard and shouted loudly: "Great, this is a masterpiece——!!!"

Next to her, Sayuri Sawamura was concentrating on drawing in a notebook. She was suddenly frightened by him, and the pencil in her hand suddenly shook, and the attack-type male protagonist on the drawing paper was successfully revealed.

"Dear~Dear~???" She raised her head with a smile and asked: "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

Leonard Spencer didn't seem to hear her sullenness. Instead of immediately admitting his mistake, he turned his upper body happily and pointed at the laptop in front of him.

"I'm talking about the new work released by our uncle! It's the AS chapter of ""!

This is definitely the best piece of Galgame I have ever played in my life! The script, settings, original paintings, and music are all amazing!

Even if we look at the entire history of Galgame games, we can’t find such a comprehensive masterpiece——! "

"?"

Sayuri Sawamura blinked in confusion, forgetting what she originally wanted to say for a while. It took a while before she understood what her husband was talking about.

She twitched her brow slightly, feeling a little unacceptable.

"...So? Is it because of this reason that you made such a fuss over there? It even affected people so much that they couldn't even draw in their notebooks?"

"Huh? What is this kind of reason——??" Leonard Spencer stared and raised his voice unconsciously.

"Sayuri, did you not understand what I said? This is a masterpiece! You should be more excited, right!?"

Sayuri Sawamura rolled her eyes at him and replied in a neutral tone:

"Then I want to ask, my dear, do you know how many times you have repeated the same words in the past few days?

Also, we went abroad this time to attend the prince's banquet, but you left them alone and hid here alone to play games. What should I say to you? "

Leonard Spencer was speechless, coughed a little guiltily, and began to excuse himself.

"Well... although this is indeed my fault, but then again, my dear, aren't you also staying here to draw erotic books? This kind of behavior doesn't seem to be much better than mine...?"

Sayuri Sawamura tilted her head slightly and said:

"Ah! Who wants me to be just a wife who doesn't understand the world? But you are an out-and-out diplomat? Can't you still tell the difference between work and play?"

“But, my dear, this is no ordinary game, but a masterpiece that is destined to go down in history!

Especially the plot of Furukawa Nagisa, I even got goosebumps while playing it!

Our uncle is a genius, he can come up with such a wonderful and touching twist! This is definitely the best game plot this year!

All in all, its charm is completely unmatched by ordinary works. Anyway, there’s nothing big going on with the prince, so of course I have to stay at home and play games! "

Leonard explained impassionedly, as if he didn't feel at all how outrageous his speech was.

Sayuri Sawamura gently held her cheek, "Come to think of it, there seems to be a lot of people in the fujoshi circle discussing Furukawa Nagisa's plot recently."

"——Right, right!?"

Leonard Spencer said repeatedly:

"That's why I say this plot is very well written! Although some people on the Internet are angry about this character's BE ending, and even suffered a lot of psychological trauma, but this is what makes people feel profound!

Of course, it's not that I can't understand their feelings. After all, after spending more than ten hours playing the game to reach such a tragic ending, any player would be angry.

However, the subtlety of this work lies in this——!

Only those players who are patient enough can continue to play despite the pressure after being hit, and thus usher in the true ending of the game and gain an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!

I have to say that our uncle really knows how to understand the psychology of players! "

When talking about being emotional, Leonard Spencer's entire face turned red, showing a highly excited state.

"…………"

Sayuri Sawamura looked at her husband and couldn't help feeling speechless.

Although she also understood that what Leonard Spencer said was basically true, the problem was——

"...Even so, you don't need to call me uncle-in-law, right? Aren't you always wary of others?"

Leonard Spencer was slightly startled when he heard this, and then answered confidently.

"Before was before, and now is now. Kato-chan has proven his excellence, and he also loves Eiri very much. As a father, of course I must support them!"

Sayuri Sawamura frowned, "...You are the ultimate indifferent between public and private, how can you hand over your daughter to another man just because of a game?"

"Huh? My dear, you really still don't understand what I mean, right?" Leonard Spencer said plausibly.

“The so-called masterpiece is not something that can be easily made just by having a goal.

Even if you find those super-famous companies, super-luxurious production staff, plus ample funds and production cycles, it doesn't mean that you will definitely succeed.

Brother Kato is still so young. He will definitely be able to make better things in the future. It can be said that his future is limitless!

I have a hunch that he will become a super producer like Akane Kurisaka in the future. It would be better to say...he is already extremely angry! "

Sayuri Sawamura massaged her temples and sighed uncontrollably.

Although she had long understood that her husband was a hopeless otaku, she still felt helpless at this moment.

She waved her hand and suddenly lost the mood to continue chatting with Leonard Spencer, and instead took her phone to browse SNS.

I don’t know if it’s because we just talked about related topics, but all the content pushed on the Internet is about "".

As Leonard Spencer just said, the plot of Furukawa Nagisa has set off a debate between the two factions on the Internet.

Those who evaluate it as a divine reversal, those who agree with the bold style of the production team, those who criticize the game's content for deliberate sensationalism, those who single-recommend specific characters, plot supremacists, and other sporadic forces are all quarreling with each other.

While Sayuri Sawamura was speechless, she was also secretly shocked by the current popularity of "".

No matter how loud the noise is on the Internet, it is actually increasing the popularity of the game in disguised form. And increasing the popularity of a game is equivalent to giving money to the game company behind it.

According to the news announced by "TYPE-MOON" on its official website, the game discs of "" are currently sold out, and orders have even been scheduled until the beginning of next year!

On the Steam platform, "" has also ranked first on the game download sales list in Japan!

Sayuri Sawamura has mixed feelings about this. She is happy to see her daughter develop smoothly, but she is also worried that her uncle will become less controllable in the future.

At this moment, a message was suddenly pushed to her on Twitter——

"It was revealed that a well-known cartoonist was suspected of breaking the law! Now the studio has been sealed! 》
