This week was a long week for Joshua. First, he won the championship for the Amateur Video Game Competition by Crimson Company. In the afternoon, he talked about cooperation with Julia. Although the cooperation ended up in a failure, she eventually joins Miracle Game Studio.
And today, he had an appointment with Julia in her Villa. Joshua takes out his smartphone and checks the Villa address. Although the Villa is just 15 minutes by foot from the Illusion Company Experience store, the Villa is located inside a Villa complex.
Joshua started walking according to the GPS map guide. Along the way, he found out that although this area is very crowded, the buildings are sparse. You could see some green pathways between each building.
Soon, he enters the Villa complex and walks towards the east. A tall wall fence with the number '17' beside the gate is seen in front of Joshua. He went to the gate and ringed the bell.
The gate is opened a little bit and a girl's head with a cute face popped out from inside the gate.
"Hello, little girl. Is your elder sister home?" Joshua asked with his usual smile.
*Bam!*
The gate closed without warning with a loud bam. Joshua's smile froze. Many question marks filled his head.
????
"What the..." Joshua scratches his head. He takes out his smartphone and checks the address given by Julia and makes sure he went to the right location.
"Weird, the address is correct. Well, what now? Should I ring the bell again?" Joshua murmured. He wasn't sure what to do next.
When Joshua still hesitant to ring the bell, the gate is fully opened. Joshua sighed a breath of relief. Instead of that cute girl, he saw a familiar face now.
Wearing a sky blue skirt, Julia smiled. Seeing that warm smile, Joshua's heart skipped a beat. Julia is so beautiful today!
"Welcome, Joshua. I am sorry for my cousin's rudeness. Julia apologizes to Joshua for the inconveniences caused by her cousin just now.
"Hmph. Julia, you chose to side with an outsider now? Arent you the famous ice-cold beauty back in the university? When did you get enticed by this man?!" The little girl leans on the arched pillar inside the gate, crossing her hand, and said with great dissatisfaction.
The situation turned awkward, and Joshua scratches his nose. He didn't know why this little girl against him when they just met today.
"Ignore her... Come on in, let us talk inside. Treat it as your own home. Well, it will be yours later after the share transfer." Julia ignores her cousin's taunt and leads Joshua inside the Villa.
"Hmph..." The little girl looked dissatisfied when they ignored her. She followed them from behind, still with her hand crossed.
"Hey, Julia, why did the little girl seems offended by me? When did I offend your cousin?" Joshua whispered to Julia, with confusion in his eyes.
".... You called her a little girl. It's a taboo word for her," Julia whispered.
"Why? Isn't she a little girl?" Joshua whispered and felt weird.
".... She's 19 now" Julia whispered.
Damn.
No wonder this little girl- I mean little lady felt offended. It is because she is not a little girl!
Joshua takes a peek at the little girl. Cute face, flat chest, short figure... There is no mistake, this is the legendary dream for a loli lover!
But too bad he isn't a lolicon.
It's just like Joshua play the waifu gacha game in his previous life, he wanted to draw an SSR big sister waifu, instead, he draws an SSR loli girl.
It's not that the SSR loli girl is bad, but the SSR loli girl is a healer and he needs a DPS, so the SSR loli girl is not compatible with his current lineup!
Seeing Joshua's gaze, the little girl humped and bare her fang. Instead of being menacing, Joshua felt that this little loli like a kitty cat.
The three of them soon arrived inside the villa. Julia sat down on the sofa and Joshua sat on the other end.
"Elizabeth, come here. Let me introduce to you, this js Elizabeth. Hearing that I joined a game studio, she offered her help. Don't belittle her, although she is childish sometimes, she is great with anything to do with the number" Julia introduced her cousin to Joshua.
"Hmph. If not for my cousin, I am not gonna bother with this rude guy." Elizabeth humped and sat down with dissatisfaction in her face which made Joshua awkward.
"Young lady, I am sorry for earlier. My name is Joshua. Welcome to the team" Joshua apologize and welcomed Elizabeth to his team.
It is true that he currently needs someone great with numerical planning. Balance is what makes the game long-lasting, especially in a competitive game.
If Joshua wants to bring eSports to this world, and Elizabeth is as good as Julia said, Joshua needs her in his team!
Although Elizabeth disliked Joshua, indeed, he didn't know her true age. So she shook Joshua's hand reluctantly.
"Very good now we got our game designer, you, the one take care of sales and marketing, me, and numerical expert, her. What do we need next?" Julia asked Joshua.
"A 3d modeler and sound editor. I don't matter if they are a beginner. What I need is someone with great potential." Joshua think a little bit and said.
"Hmm... We could try to search for such talent in Star City University's Science and Arts major. My cousin still enrolled in the University, maybe she could help us." Julia looks at Elizabeth.
"Alright, I'll do it. But don't expect anything from me." Elizabeth nodded.
"Naturally. I will also search on another university." Joshua said.
"Alright, it is decided then. Now, we should go to the Housing Department for a property transfer. Let's go, before they closed." Julia said to Joshua.
Julia gave Joshua her villa deed, and Joshua gave Julia his 30% game studio share. In the eyes of the public, it may be foolish trade. A share of an unknown game studio for a villa? But in tens of years, this trade will be remembered as the best trade of the century.
...
A man with blond and long hair sat inside a class and yawned. He wore a black shirt and black skinny jeans, layered by a brown jacket. In his right thumb and middle finger was equipped with a ring in each finger with a striking G logo.
Bored waiting for the next lecture, Klavier wanted to sleep inside the class. But in the next second, his smartphone vibrated. He lazily takes out his smartphone and saw that his brother called him.
"What is it, brother?" Klavier said as he yawned.
"Are you skipping class again?!" Hearing his brother yawn, he flipped.
"Nein, brother. I am currently inside the class. What is it? If there is nothing, I will continue sleeping." Klavier said.
"Wait. I wanted you to do something. Join a game company called 'Miracle Game Studio'. That studio is located in Star City."
"Why? I don't want to join any company. I even turn the offer to work at your company. What made you so sure that I will join this
studio game?" Klavier said.
"Just do what I asked you to do! Or do you want our father to cut your monthly allowance?" His brother said.
Hearing that his pocket money is in danger, Klavier jolted and straighten his posture.
"Wait, wait, brother! Is this father's order?" Klavier carefully asked.
"Who's order do you think then? Do I have the power to cut your allowance? Of course, this is also father's wish!" His brother explained.
"Ja, alright... Tell father I'll join Miracle Game Studio..." Klavier hangs up the phone and is confused.
Just what kind of game studio is 'Miracle Game Studio' which made his father pays attention to?
Klavier didn't think that his father ordered him to join Miracle Game Studio for his future, but he thought that his father had his eyes on Miracle Game Studio and wanted him to investigate.
Just when Klavier wanted to search for information about Miracle Game Studio on the internet, he saw Elizabeth passing in from of his classroom with a stack of paper.
Klavier's eye lit up, he stood up and straighten his jacket. He walks towards Elizabeth with a wide smile.
"Good afternoon, fraulein... You are very beautiful today. Where do you want to go? What's the rush?" Klavier said with a smile.
"Go away, Klavier. Take away your lecherous smile somewhere. I need to do something." Elizabeth frowned and carry on walking. This guy will stick to her anywhere anytime.
"Hey, don't be mad, fraulein. Let me help you with your task." Klavier cut in front of Elizabeth and stretches his hand to receive the stack of paper.
"Hmm... Alright, here you go. Come with me to the Science and Arts faculty." Elizabeth gave the stack of paper to Klavier.
Klavier smiled and received the paper. He curious and want to see what kind of thing made his princess busy. When he looked down at the paper, his eye widened.
