"Regarding this new game plan, I will personally explain it to you when I fly back tomorrow. Make sure you're ready by tomorrow afternoon. Oh, and bring Airi along as well. Her engineering development department needs to be involved in this game's development too."

"Engineering development department? President, are we developing a special peripheral for the game?"

"Yes, but the peripheral won't be too complex. They just need to cooperate, and we also need to find some professional materials scientists and ergonomists."

These scientifically-related experts are much more reliable than those social scientists. At least they have real skills, while the work of social scientists often seems a bit abstract and disconnected from reality.

Upon hearing this, Fuyu Dono quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, President. I have many friends at the University of Tokyo. I'm sure I can find the experts you need. See you tomorrow, President."

"Good, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Takayuki sat back down at his desk to prepare the game plan for tomorrow.

At this moment, the three girls were sitting in their rooms, silent.

...

...

Aiko seemed to be somewhat affected by what had happened. Kaemi, on the other hand, always forgets bad things quickly. But when she saw her two friends with serious expressions, she didn't dare say anything more.

The three girls just stared at each other for a while.

Finally, it was Aiko who broke the silence.

"Earlier, my understanding of game development was too shallow. I always just saw it as a path to success."

"That's normal. Success is something everyone strives for. It's those damn reporters who asked some ridiculous questions. Luckily, we had Takayuki-sensei with us. Otherwise, we three might not have been able to handle it," said Onka, half-comforting, half-explaining.

Kaemi immediately nodded and added, "That's right, Aiko. Those guys were just too ridiculous. Don't take it to heart."

Aiko shook her head. "No, it's not because of their questions that I'm feeling down. It's because of their questions that I realized game development also has some real meaning."

"Ah? Isn't it about making money?" Kaemi asked, confused.

Aiko asked directly, "Do you develop games just to make money?"

"Well, of course not. I really enjoy developing games, because I enjoy it. Plus, working with good friends makes it worth it," Kaemi replied.

Onka added, "I'm pretty much like Aiko, wanting success and fame, but I still enjoy the process of developing games. That kind of joy is rare."

Aiko remained silent for a moment and then said, "From the beginning, I've only been thinking about success. On that front, I don't think I'm like you two."

She waved her hand. "You don't need to comfort me. I need to do some thinking. Think about the direction our next game should go in. I really feel like I need to think carefully about the questions those reporters asked."

"Alright, as long as you don't get too obsessed, okay? If you frown too long, you won't look good," Kaemi teased.

Aiko seemed not particularly concerned about her appearance; in fact, she disliked it.

Her good looks often meant that people approached her for her appearance rather than her inner qualities, and she hated that.

She preferred someone who could understand her inner self.

At that moment, her mind kept flashing images of Takayuki.

She quickly shook her head, feeling a little flustered, but noticed that Onka and Kaemi seemed not to notice her subtle change, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Kaemi asked, "By the way, Takayuki-sensei spoke directly to that sociologist during the presentation. Does that mean Takayuki-sensei is directly confronting that sociologist?"

Onka scoffed, "Confronting? That trash sociologist doesn't have the right to face Takayuki-sensei. Takayuki-sensei's goals are clearly much bigger, and the target he's dealing with is not just some sociologist."

Aiko agreed, "Exactly, I think Takayuki-sensei isn't that shallow."

Kaemi blinked at her two friends and said, "You two seem to understand Takayuki-sensei more and more."

Onka casually replied, "Isn't it normal? After all, he personally taught us how to develop games. We should consider ourselves Takayuki-sensei's disciples."

Aiko didn't respond, but in her mind, the image of Takayuki from earlier kept flashing through her thoughts.

She remembered how Takayuki had walked up to the three of them, took the microphone, and stood protectively in front of them.

In that moment, the sense of security that had disappeared earlier returned, and she no longer felt as flustered.

...

The next morning, Takayuki took the earliest flight back to Japan.

As soon as he landed, he didn't bother resting and headed straight to his company's headquarters.

It was already 9 a.m. in Japan, and the core development team of the sixth development group, along with the engineering team, were already waiting for Takayuki's arrival.

Airi, the head of the sixth development group, did not attend the Game Developers Conference.

Before Takayuki left, he had arranged a few tasks related to game console development for Airi. She planned to surprise him when he returned.

However, suddenly, she heard from Fuyu Dono that Takayuki needed the engineering team to complete another new task. Without hesitation, Airi put aside her current work and decided to see what Takayuki was planning.

"Is everyone here? Great. Let's make this quick. This game development will be a bit tight, and I hope we can release this game as soon as possible. Of course, everything should still be done without too much overtime."

Takayuki didn't engage in small talk and immediately presented the game plan he had prepared.

"This time, I want you to develop a motion-controlled game. I've already come up with the name: 'Ring Fit Adventure.'"

Takayuki placed his prepared presentation file into the computer connected to the projector, and the image was displayed on the big screen for everyone to see.

The crowd immediately focused on the big screen, their expressions filled with astonishment.

On the screen was a circular device.

Was this the new game's peripheral? It looked... quite simple.
