NO. 32: Accumulation of Question Marks

Xi had to admit that Aomo's argument was very reasonable.

Although from the standpoint of mutual cooperation, any overtime segment is worth resisting, but the current collaboration is less like work and more like creation driven by interest.

Once the true identity of the 'fanwork mercenary' is confirmed, Xi will no longer doubt the other's enthusiasm.

After all, they are trainers, and moreover central trainers.

Even someone from outlying areas like Xi understands that, in the already high-threshold profession of trainers, the hiring standards for central trainers are especially strict.

Furthermore, although the recent work livestreams are often intermittent, they still allow one to glimpse a few things; Xi also believes that the other party, like the digital president, is a person with extraordinary love for the horse girl group.

For such a person, striving for continual improvement is not a problem.

Just as she herself, although unwilling to admit a special fondness for those things, if given the chance to do better, she has no reason to refuse.

Works produced by Xi's hand as a great painter, although not without needing to discard waste paper, but if a set is presented for others to see, it must certainly be a fine work, even a masterpiece!

Thus the black-haired girl hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping, and ultimately did not carry out her original plan.

In her original plan, she ought to have given the other party a hard time, not letting them have an easy time, after all she had been sulking all day yesterday, feeling miserable to this day.

Of course, if it were someone else, they would surely ask, what does this have to do with Aomo?

But this relationship is significant.

After all, this matter, from the very beginning, was the result of her choosing to suppress it after discovering her older sister's inexplicable reaction, hesitating back and forth.

The subsequent years' 'sneak attack', the sisters' whole-body persecution, the elder brother's panicked rise to prominence... one could say that everything, the so-called first stroke, lies precisely here.

Clearly this matter has nothing to do with me!

Feeling that she had paid too much for that initial bit of morality, Xi thus harbors a creditor-like displeasure toward Aomo.

She only wanted to first collect a debt for her own displeasure, but the result is just as it is now—she had intended to stand in the same position as the other party as a party B and point out overtime issues, but the other's justification is so legitimate that she cannot speak.

Is NaritaBrian's brushwork too little?

That's true; in fact, rather than saying it, everyone has been complaining about this from the start.

Since we want to compile a biographical record of the golden three-generation era, even if we were to tilt the focus toward a few 'kings', how should we handle NaritaBrian, who also once ascended the throne but fell especially quickly?

Ignore?

Just brush it over?

This... isn't very good, is it?

The competition intensity of horse girls is very high; the golden history of the three generations—at first hearing it sounds like it could span a hundred years, but in reality only those star systems far away likely hear the news, which seems like a century of change.

In the Holy Terra Federation, it's only been within ten years; for young people who keep records early, that from Qianming's representation onward has been a childhood hero, possibly even something they chased after together with their parents.

Later, when a rival force suddenly rose and quickly grew into a demon king-like figure dominating the battlefield, the Ludaofu Xiangzheng became even more an object of imitation for middle-schoolers with chuunibyou.

Moreover, the three-time challenge of the late-blooming hero Qianming's representation, and the brave Gechengwangpai's strike that shattered the demon king, are also able to leave an unforgettable memory for many young people who love the kingly path.

Of course, not only young people, but other age groups are the same.

Spiritual empathy has always been unrelated to age; it's just that different ages bring differentiated distinctions to feelings.

The reason young people are mentioned here is simply because most members of the ailishuma club are young people.

For these young people, the golden three-generation history is not only the experienced generational change, but also an impression so vivid as to be unforgettable, directly carrying the memory of youth itself.

Thus they mostly can recount the deeds of each famous horse girl in detail, and moreover, for those figures that carry a part of their own youth, they show support and protection as if loving the house and thus the crow.

NaritaBrian is undoubtedly one of them.

Not only is she a well-known horse girl, but she once ascended the throne as a horse girl, yet she is also the one most criticized by public opinion, and at one point suffered a precipitous drop in fan numbers.

And at that age of hearsay, many young people have had the experience of 'once unreservedly supporting someone, but then, due to shifts in wind and changes in atmosphere, falling silent about it, even merging into it.'

The name Narita Brian/Narita Hakujin undoubtedly is the actual bearer of that period of time.

It is a memory they are unwilling to face squarely, yet it naturally exists.

And the very proposal put forth by ailishuma itself also brings forth a name that they cannot ignore,

With the passage of time and changing circumstances, some have already let go, some want to escape, and still others, constantly thinking of it, wish to overturn its verdict.

This is exactly the complaining point in the initial work group—within the ailishuma club, many members simply cannot ignore this piece of history of NaritaBrian.

But if one were to actually develop this into a creation, everyone would also be that hesitant.

Because this requires not only self-confidence in talent, but also self-confidence in understanding NaritaBrian sufficiently; if lacking either, one should ask someone else for help—but how could one bring oneself to say that?

How can you be sure that NaritaBrian's image in the other's mind is not negative? And how can you be sure that the other has the resolve to undertake this creation contrary to popular opinion?

Doing this to others, adding trouble for everyone—no matter how you think about it, it will be a troublesome matter, leaving people only able to complain, and only able to go as far as complaining.

Delving deeper, it would become impossible to ignore, and perhaps give rise to a topic that causes everyone to feel estranged.

This sense of restraint, belonging to the people of Jidong, or rather existing to some extent in the East Asian sphere, lets the original plan reveal a flaw as obvious as could be.

Even Gechengwangpai can appear and have related chapters alongside Qianming and Ludaofu Xiangzheng in the Flash Series horse girl biographies, but only for NaritaBrian is there a plan to gloss over it with a single stroke; this sense of disparity makes anyone who sees it feel subtly strange, even inviting mockery.

What kind of treatment is this?

Now this fanwork mercenary invited by the digital company actually dares to proactively repair this aspect of the problem; the people in the work group initially tried to dissuade, but after the other party mentioned the general creative angle, they all became supportive.

——I had thought they were just urging on a whim, but since there's already an outline, go ahead.

——Go find a good artist!

Now the artist is right here.

Originally intending to find someone to nitpick from the start, but seeing the other party produce such a reasonable-sounding argument, for a moment Xi's moral standards would not allow her to ignore reality and speak up.

Although there have been times of willfulness, those were only when facing family, or when facing those who came seeking help and who, from the outset, were in a disadvantaged position as test subjects.

Xi, who appears aloof and icy before people, is actually quite adept at reading the situation; even choosing to avoid when faced with facts that cannot be opposed is the same.

Precisely because of such situational awareness, when faced with a future with no way out, she straightforwardly chooses to escape, and even more so, like a broken pot, she faces everyone with a foul temper.

But if everything truly does have a turning point, she would instead become the first to enact change, just as she became the earliest to reach this world among the fragments, and just as she is now restraining Aomo.

After letting her sigh, she picked up the lemon soda the waiter had just brought and took two sips: 'Really, I'm surprised you can be so righteous and confident.'

If it's true, how could there be any disadvantage?

Forget it, having to say this to a smooth-talking guy like you is just me asking for trouble.

This hardly counts as smooth-talking and good at arguing, does it?

Aomo was somewhat speechless, feeling these were merely the basics among basics, or rather something achievable just by having a thick skin, but the other party seemed eager to pin a label on him, which made him a bit doubtful, yet it was also no big deal.

Although 'smooth-talking and good at arguing' is somewhat derogatory, given Miss Xi's manner in dealing with people, it can still be considered relatively polite.

So when the other party gave a furrowed-brow gaze, he still slightly raised both hands in a surrender gesture: "Alright, then let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about work, how about work? I also finished wrapping up this section before coming, and I'd like to ask Gong Bi Ru Hua Lao Shi to have a first look and see if it's convenient to do the illustration."

You...

Please speak.

The flaming speech is really good.

...? Thank you for the praise.

Although I don't really understand why, at this point, one would sigh over this, Aomo still nodded.
