Chapter 180: Eroge
Haru decided to close his cafe since his product had already sold out. He felt strange since he saw five girls sitting next to each other laughing and talking to each other but their faces didn"t even smile. He decided to become their bridge to talk to each other. He brought a set of tea and prepared it in front of them, "Let"s talk while drinking black tea that I have just bought before."
His brewing skill was top-notch and the smell of the tea made everyone a bit dazed.
Haru prepared six cups for everyone while also preparing a cookie in the middle of the table.
Akane smelled the tea and sipped it, "Hmm, this is good."
"Yes, this tea also has the benefit of binding fat and also making your skin brighter," Haru said.
The five women at the table had their eyes lit up when they heard it. They sipped the tea slowly and had a comfortable expression on their faces.
"You should also eat the cookies too, I have made it a lemon and fresh herbs," Haru said.
They didn"t reject his idea and ate the cookies too.
"These cookies aren"t sweet," Kosaka asked.
"Sure, they are," Yuri nodded.
"It"s because you drank Gymnema Sylvestre," Haru said.
"Huh? What is that?" Yuri asked.
"Gymnema means "Sugar Destroyer", and after drinking it, you can"t taste the sweetness for a while," Haru explained.
"Enough of that, let me ask you how can you become a former student of this person?" Utaha asked.
"This person? You"re quite rude Kasumigaoka-san," Akane said while drinking his tea.
"She was my tutor when my parents were still around," Haru said.
"..."
The atmosphere became awkward when he said this to them.
Megumi held his hand while looking at him.
"I"m okay, let"s not fight each other since I want to talk about business with Kosaka," Haru said.
"Business?" Utaha and Akane were confused.
"Yes, we"re planning to make a game this winter," Kosaka said.
"Winter? Are you serious? It was four months before winter," Haru said.
"Yes, that is why I"m planning to make a game that is quite fast to make," Kosaka said.
"Oh, what kind of game is it?" Utaha asked with an interesting expression.
"It"s an eroge," Kosaka answered.
"...."
"Excuse me, can you repeat it?" Akane asked.
"It"s an eroge," Kosaka answered.
"...."
"What is eroge?" Megumi asked.
"The eroge is an e.r.o.t.i.c game," Kosaka answered.
"Okay," Megumi nodded and didn"t say anything again.
"....."
"WHY NO ONE SAID ANYTHING?!" Yuri suddenly became outbursts, "Also, why do you suddenly want to make that kind of game?" She looked at Kosaka and waited for her answer.
"Eroge is quite easy to make, especially when both popular creators are the ones who make the game," Kosaka said and looked at him, "Right?"
"So it is similar to a visual novel?" Haru asked.
Kosaka nodded, "Yes, two months should be enough for me to draw the entire game but the problem is the game plan and the scripts." She looked at him and said, "I want you to cooperate with me to make the game plan and the scripts for this game."
"..."
"Why eroge? Why not something else?" Akane asked.
"Because it is cheap and the price of the game is quite expensive, it is good enough as long as we can sell 10,000 copies of the game since the price of the game should be 7,000 yen," Kosaka said.
"Then we should be able to get 70 million yen," Haru nodded and felt it wasn"t quite a bad number.
"Yes, but I believe that we can sell more than that since there is a Comiket during the winter," Kosaka said and added, "When the reviewer told the world about our game, I"m sure that the sales of the game will be quite high."
"That is only if the game is good enough, right?" Akane said.
"Yes, that is why I need someone who can make a good game plan," Kosaka said and looked at him.
"Visual Novel, huh?" Haru was in deep thought. He knew that the success of the game depended on the story and the characters.
Kosaka looked at him and said, "I believe that your script will be good."
"How can you be so sure?" Haru asked.
"I have read your novel before, and I have a feeling that you still have a lot of ideas inside that head of yours, put it into our game and let"s create a big game industry with me," Kosaka said.
Haru was interested in her plan and he had also heard her name since Kosaka was quite famous in the manga industry. He looked at her and asked, "Where are you going to live then?"
"I"m going to live here, I"ll also help the cafe," Kosaka said and added, "I"m sure that Yuri is quite lonely to live here alone, right? Our hair is also similar and it won"t be strange for us to be called a sister."
Yuri twitched her lips in response but she didn"t really mind since she didn"t feel her as a compet.i.tor.
"Oh, let me join this interesting plan," Utaha suddenly said.
"She is?" Kosaka looked at him since she didn"t know her.
Utaha felt a bit annoyed but she didn"t introduce herself. She looked at him waiting for him to introduce her to everyone.
"Her name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, she is a newcomer author," Haru introduced.
"Oh, I don"t know you," Kosaka shook her head and added, "And I want him to be the one who writes it."
Utaha frowned since it was true that even though her novel was quite sold well but she was still a newbie as an author of a light novel, "My book has sold 30,000 copies!"
Kosaka snorted, "30,000 copies? Tell me again when you have hit 500,000 copies!"
Utaha grumbled and didn"t say anything again. She wanted to see whether both of them really could make a game together.
Aken suddenly laughed, "It seems that I don"t need to be here but I"m curious about your project, can I visit you when I"m free?"
"Why not," Kosaka said and added, "You sure know a lot of beautiful girls, Haru?" She looked at him while nodding at him.
Everyone also looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Haru rubbed his nose and said, "Alright, but I will give the plan in a week and I will have to go out for a week too, so please take care of the cafe."
"Huh? Where are you going?" Yuri asked.
"Macau," Haru said.
