Chapter 24 - Family Surprise

When I woke up the next morning it was around 7 am, and the sun was already in the arm. Silently removing the girls' hands from my body I went and did my daily routine, and started to make breakfast.

While I was cooking the girls woke up, and sat at the table.

Yu - You know you guys could learn to cook too you know.

Shirone - But your cooking is better then ours so what's the point of learning?

Yu - Just because mine is better doesn't mean you can't improve.

Kuroka - W-well try.

Conversations like this were a daily occurrence with us since the girls don't know much about housework I'm left to do everything myself. They can do some housework like dusting and dishwashing but for other things... they could use some improvements.

One of the things they hate the most is vacuuming especially Shirone she's scared of it and has broken a number of them too.

Yu - I'm going to head out in a while I'll leave the construction of the castle management to you guys here is the blueprints

Kuroka/Shirone - En

Yu - Magari you're here already, do you want some breakfast?

Magari - No thank you Yu-sama I have already eaten at the village this morning.

This was Magari she was the second strongest fighter in the village only behind Charollete by a bit. She's also one of the Nekoshou in charge of training the young ones, and since Charollete is busy working on the construction of the village she will be my informant of what's going on in Haven while I'm out here.

Yu - Okay then let's head out, stay in the shadows and only come out if something came up in Haven or if you find something suspicious around me. Also, take this it'll keep you contacted to the connection network in Haven. It's really hard to make more of these so be careful with it.

Magari - Yes.

With that, I left the house and walked out through the front door of the complex.

----

It's a little past 2 now and I've currently been scouting all around the east side of Kyoto, and haven't seen anything supernatural which confused me I knew that yokai made Kyoto their home. Magari stayed in the shadows like she was told and from what I could tell there were no reports to be made.

Yu - Hm? Hello

Sato - Hello Mr. Hyoudou the staff meeting has ended and Director Nakamura would like to see you now... is this the best time?

Yu - Ya I'm free I'm at **** **** come pick me up I'll wait for you here.

Sato - Okay I will be there shortly

----

After about 10 minutes of waiting Sato pulled up in a company car came out and opened the door for me. When everything was settled and we were on our way to Scripture Depo I started to ask Sato some quests.

Yu - Hey Sato how has the company dealt with the move to Kyoto?

Sato - Ah it's been going okay due to the bigger building we have now is highering new staff. Mostly there have been benefits a lot of the loyal employees that stayed with us in hard times were promoted higher on the corporate change and...

He kept going on and on about the changes and I have to say that this made me feel good because it was me who requested Scripture Depo to move to Kyoto. They were previously stationed in Kuoh but the property was too small for all the projects they were doing and the location wasn't the best.

At first, they were hesitant but when I showed them a hard drive containing multiple new mangas, anime ideas, and web novels they started to calculate the money they would be earning in their minds. The content was even translated into multiple languages so we could sell them internationally, so I would've found it stupid for them to refuse.

This, in turn, made Scripture Depo a semi-international company since it exported lots of separate content around the world. The main thing that content companies have to deal with is how to get their merchandise to more people and the biggest obstacle is the language barrier. Usually, to pass that obstacle they need to hire more people to do to it but that costs money, but since I'm here I made it go away in an instant.

And it's not like I took jobs away from people Scripture Depo, used to only work with anime, and a little bit of manga artist. They also didn't deal with outside consumers so they had no real need for translators.

Hence before they knew it Scripture Depo's profit rose through the roof and I made myself a relatively large fortune. Then with that fortune, I went to see my longtime friend the Stock market, and boy does 100 luck not let you down.

----

At the end of the car ride, we both entered the new Scripture Depo HQ building but since they only moved in a couple days ago the play wasn't completely furnished but something told me that, that soon.

Riding the elevator to the top floor I entered the Higher up department of the company and was greeted by everyone since they know I'm the reason they could keep their jobs.

Everyone - Good day Sakamaki-sensei

Sakamaki-sensei that was the alias I used and also the name everyone called me by in this company. Though everyone knew my real name this was the way usual mangaka are greeted when they went to see their editors.

After I greeted them I made my way to the director's office which had walls made of glass (waste of material if I don't say so myself). From here I could see that he was a middle age man, with black swept back, he had a decent build not too skinny or fat and he wore glasses. Right now he was looking through some paperwork and only noticed me when I was sitting before him.

Director Nakamura - Ah Sakamaki-sensei glad you came I thought it'd take longer for you to come.

Yu - Nah I just happened to be in the neighborhood Nakamura-san... so what do you need me for?

Nakamura-san - It's about your works we needed to discuss

The talk went on about how I'd release the anime they had in storge as well as how I'd start releasing the novels and manga. Basically, it was business, as usual, I had already been planned what I was going to say a couple days in advance so the talk went smoothly as always.

The only surprise I was truly able to get was that Scripture Depo had planned to schedule any of the already completed works into a single T.V. channel. While on the outside I had only truly submitted 2 shows to be released on T.V I had Scripture Depo hold onto others letting them chose when and were to show them.

Turns out that when they got reviews from the people who already read the manga and novel versions they requested that it'd be an anime. The time seemed to be at the moment where they thought it was best to show them and I just left them to their own devices.

I already got the copyright for those shows so however, they chose to show them was up to them as long as I got the profit it was all fine and dandy. I mean seriously with the amount of stuff I need to build in Haven in the future I'm going to need a lot of money just to pay for it.

----

The meeting with Nakamura-san should have originally been only an hour but it was extended to 4 hours when other higher-ups came to make their reports to Nakamura-san. I could have left after the hour passed but stayed because I wanted to learn how to manage an organization. So I just took small notes in my head while I watched everything pass.

Yu - If I rush it I could make it home before it sets... but let's eat out for today.

Finding an afternoon market I bought some yakisoba from a nearby street vendor. It was tasty and had a nice after taste, slowly I walked throughout the market and tasted most of the foods that caught my eye.

By the time I had, had my feel I sat in a park bench with a can of green tea in my hand. Savoring the feeling of having good food I gazed at the stars.

*Ring*

*Ring*

Yu - Hm who's calling me at this time?... Oh, it's Issei what does he want?

Pulling out my phone I saw a picture of Issei who had an embarrassed face, I took this picture when he went off to the New Year Festival with Murayama and Katase last year. Naturally, I went with Kuroka and Shirone but he didn't need to know that, cause if he did heed tell dad to get even with me who poked fun at him. Now, what does he want?

Yu - Issei what's up? You don't usually call me at this time, is something up?

Issei - Yu-nii!! I just heard it!! I swear I heard it!!

I expected a simple hello but what I got was a loud scream, and while he was screaming I could hear a hint of excitement in his voice.

Issei - *Inhale* *Exhale* ... Mom's pregnant!

Yu - Wha?!

Welp, I wasn't expecting that
