...

After putting down her phone, Baili Xiao stared blankly ahead for a few seconds before turning to the workbench (desk) not far away—dozens of nearly completed original drawings were quietly stored in the graphics tablet. Only one last step remained before the job was done!

"Then let's get to work!"

Meanwhile, outside Baili Xiao's door, Mordred stood at the door with a conflicted expression, raising and lowering his hand several times, but ultimately failing to knock.

"This guy! When is he going to stop sleeping? I've already done my morning exercise six times, and he still... Ugh, whatever, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

Mordred puffed out her cheeks, her handsome yet beautiful face glaring fiercely at the closed door, then clenched her fists, turned, and left!

Chapter 0256 Ram and Rem were asked to do something? (Third update)

The Ice and Snow Kingdom is a kingdom located in the northern part of the world.

It covers a vast area, but due to its harsh weather and climate, its population has always been small.

On this day, the girl with short, azure hair opened her eyes, quietly but quickly put on her black and white maid outfit, and after a quick wash, walked around the palace—she needed to prepare breakfast for Queen Emilia. Although this task could be delegated to other servants, her long-standing habit had made her persist.

Her exquisite short hair was the color of the bluest sky, and her bangs, swept to the right, subtly obscured the eye on that side. Her pupil, the same color as her hair, emitted a faint light, seemingly possessing a magic that made it impossible to look away once you met her gaze.

Her fair and delicate face, small nose and mouth—the first thing that comes to mind when you see her is her "cuteness."

"Good morning, sister."

The moment she pushed open the door, she saw a figure that looked remarkably like herself – her twin sister Ram. Apart from having red hair and eyes, the two were almost identical.

"Rem, good morning."

"Has Lady Emilia gotten up?"

"Yes, I am currently discussing state affairs with Lord Roswald."

Rem naturally took the soup spoon from her sister Ram's hand and tasted the freshly made soup: "Sister, it tastes much better today than before."

“I still can’t catch up with Rem… Rem does everything better than me.” Ram shook her head slightly, giving her younger sister a faint smile—but her words clearly surprised, even alarmed, the latter.

"Please don't say that, sister. I only have some experience in housework. In any other aspect, I am far inferior to you." Rem shook her head so much that even with the white hat holding it in place, her blue hair still looked messy.

Her slender fingertips traced the hair, carefully gathering it into its proper place, bit by bit. A smile remained on Ram's lips: "Other aspects? No, wait, here... it's bigger than me, isn't it?"

"Sister, sister...please don't joke like that..." Rem, who had been expressionless, blushed instantly. She avoided Ram's amused gaze and turned away to change the subject: "Since breakfast is ready, let's hurry up and send it to Lady Emilia?"

Before she could finish speaking, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in in a flustered manner—it was a little girl with a very loli hairstyle, a very loli figure, a very loli appearance, and was dressed in a very loli style. In short, she was a little girl who exuded a strong loli style from head to toe!

(Actually over 400 years old, but looks only eleven or twelve years old) (Legal loli?)

"Betty, what happened? This isn't like you." The blush on her face quickly disappeared, and Rem returned to her expressionless state—her smile, or perhaps the shyness of a little girl, was only shown in front of her sister Ram!

"Rem, look at Betty now, what do you notice?"

Hearing her sister's question, Ram tilted her head slightly, placed her right hand next to her chin, and thought for a moment: "A messy hairstyle that's completely different from before, and sweat on her forehead that I've never seen before?"

“...!!!” Betty clenched her fists and pouted cutely—having lived with Ram and Rem for a long time, she naturally knew how sharp-tongued the two sisters were and didn't care about it, but a proper protest was still necessary: ​​“This isn't sweat! It's just water stains left from the moisturizing mask I just applied!”

"That's strange. Does an elf who's over four hundred years old really need a face mask to keep her moisturized? Sister, have you ever heard of such a thing?"

"Rem, this is the first time I've seen her like this either. It is indeed very strange."

As Ram and Rem spoke, they both took a step back in unison—as if to say something like, "You have to keep your distance from idiots." Betty raised her eyebrows, closed her eyes tightly, and took several deep breaths before she could suppress the urge to argue with the two sisters... She was here today to ask for their help, and she couldn't let a moment of displeasure ruin everything!

"Um, are you free in a few days? If so, would you like to..."

"No time! *2"

Before Betty could finish speaking, the two sisters responded—you know, in terms of strength alone, Ram and Rem are not as strong as Betty, and now even the latter needs their help, so it is obviously not a simple matter!

"Not simple" means "troublesome," and Ram and Rem absolutely hate troublesome things...

"You two! Can't you let me finish what I have to say?!" Betty, unable to bear it any longer, finally interrupted them with her rather shrill and unique voice: "It's nothing troublesome at all! I just want to invite you to a movie!"

"please?"

"us?"

"See a movie?"

Their red and blue eyes met in surprise, then their wariness deepened—in Ram and Rem's limited memories of interacting with Beatrice (407), the latter was meticulous, quick-witted, and a mysterious guardian of the royal library's forbidden archives... As the saying goes, "unsolicited kindness is either malicious or thieving," and they didn't feel they were capable of accepting "this kindness"!

"Sister, is Betty planning something really bad, like doing this or that to us?"

"Yes, it would be very troubling if we were subjected to this or that. So, Betty, you didn't come here with good intentions, did you?"

As they spoke, Ram and Rem simultaneously picked up the dishes beside them and walked side by side past the dazed Betty out of the kitchen: "If you want to watch a movie, you can find someone else. We need to deliver food to Lady Emilia, so please excuse us..."

"Wait! Wait a minute! You two! I really just wanted you to watch a movie!"

Betty followed the two impatiently and relentlessly. As if sensing her actions, Ramrem quickened his pace.

"I need to guard the forbidden library and can't leave the palace... I'm begging you! If possible, please go see 'Your Name' for me! In exchange, please give me the little gift I offered!"

Chapter 0257 Three days until the premiere! (First update)

"Is it finally... over?" In the "rouge-en-rouge" club founded by Akane Akasaka, a middle-aged man with a stubble beard slumped in his work chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, looking like he had been "played with to death".

After nearly a month of hard work, all the artists in the group, acting as "assistants," finally completed the in-between parts of "Your Name," and then used the time to restart the previously suspended manga.

The sound of pens scratching against the paper rang out beside him—the uncle's eyebrows twitched involuntarily; he was all too familiar with that sound—his gaze followed the direction of the sound and saw a woman hunched over, her cheeks almost pressed against the drawing tablet.

"Hey, Yanagi, isn't your 'Black Butler' finished yet?" the uncle said, almost groaning, but received no reply—the pressure-sensitive pen moved even faster on the graphics tablet.

"Don't bother her. You know her 'Black Butler' is incredibly popular in the monthly magazine, so this hiatus will definitely have a big impact. But..." Hearing the noise, someone carrying a coffee walked over and whispered to the man, "But judging from Yanagi-chan's expression, it doesn't seem like she's just making up for lost time? Could it be that she learned something from this assistance?"

His words were full of envy—this was perfectly normal in the club. Every day, artists would help the studio's teachers and their skills would improve by leaps and bounds as if they had an epiphany... Yana Toboso learned a lot during the previous "5 Centimeters Per Second" project, which is why she created the current number one BL artist—"Black Butler"!

"Toboro Yanagi-chan is very smart. If this continues, she'll leave us behind sooner or later. Looks like it's time to give it another push!"

"Right now, the one in our club whose drawing skills are closest to the teachers' is probably Yana Toboso, right? Ahhh, if she didn't like BL, I would definitely pursue her~"

Forget about it! Ugliness is your original sin!

"You bastard, do you want to die?"

"Clap!"

Just as the two were exchanging barbs, Iori Hashima, holding a folder, appeared in the office. He first looked around, then tightened the folder with his arm and clasped his hands together forcefully: "Clap clap!"

The clear clapping sound that rang out in the relatively quiet office attracted everyone's attention. Even Shu Liang, who had been engrossed in his work, raised his eyes, which had very dark circles.

"Everyone, there are only three days left until the official release of 'Your Name.' Here are the movie tickets. Each person is limited to one ticket. We will be watching the premiere of the movie together with Shinazugawa Bunko and Chishima Publishing. Of course, all the teachers from the studio will also be there. At that time... I hope you can try your best to restrain yourselves and not be too impolite!"

As Iori Hashima spoke, a wry smile crept onto his lips—he was recalling the scene at the premiere of "5 Centimeters Per Second".

In the eyes of the many artists in the club, Baili Xiao and the teachers in the studio are gods—gods of painting—and it's inevitable to be excited to be able to get close to their "idols".

He understood everyone's feelings, but... what was with all this "rushing forward like crazy fans, grabbing their clothes, hats, and other things to beg Eriri and the others for autographs"?

"You can express your respect to the teachers, but anything excessive—especially asking for autographs—is forbidden! This time, Ms. Kurosaka has given a strict order: anyone who embarrasses themselves at the movie screening should prepare to face the boss's wrath..."

As soon as Iori Hashima, an expert in human resources, finished speaking, he noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere in the office—the excitement that had been burning like a raging fire suddenly subsided, and some people even voiced their discontented protests. He shook his head with amusement and glanced at everyone present.

"Also... I know everyone has been quite busy lately, with less than five hours of rest each day. So, starting today, the club is on holiday! Everyone should try to use the next three days to get back into shape... You don't want your idols to see you looking like you have dark circles under your eyes, clothes that haven't been washed for days, or a haggard face, right?"

"In a little while, the assistance fee for this round—20,000 yuan per person—will be deposited into your bank accounts. Remember to get a good night's sleep and eat something..."

He paused slightly, glancing at the closed door in the distance—Akane Kousaka's office—and shrugged: "'Remember to buy a few decent clothes. Our club can't let those guys from Shinazugawa Bunko and Chishima Publishing look down on us'—those are the BOSS's exact words, so you understand?"

"Hooray! This time, we definitely won't let Miss Kurosaka down!"

"Hey boss! Don't worry! I'll definitely make you look good!"

Even with excellent soundproofing, it still couldn't block out the "wolf howls" from the outside world—Akane Akane raised an eyebrow in the office, stood up with a faint smile on her lips, and slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant sky.

"Baili Jun, what level can you achieve this time?"

The red wine in the stemmed glass was gently swirled, then downed in one gulp!

...

With three days left until the release of "Your Name," the world seems calm on the surface, but in reality, many people are driven to act for the same reason.

This film is being shown worldwide, so many people don't have to fly all the way to anime superstars; they can watch it in the cinemas of their own cities!

However... there are still some people who are willing to spend money to go to the Holy Land or Amagi... because a huge promotional poster clearly states one sentence in a single line!

[Everyone who attends the screening will receive a small gift from "Your Name" after the film! Note: Some gifts are only available in the Holy Land and Amagi! Extremely rare!]

It is precisely because of that "MAX rarity" label that many people who don't care about money or have special abilities are rushing to the anime paradise and Amagi as fast as possible.

The number of tourists from outside the city has increased dramatically every day. The anime mecca is alright, after all, it is a city with completely independent sovereign territory and its level of development is far better than that of Amagi. Amagi is different. Obviously, the hotels are overcrowded, the streets are full of congested vehicles, and strangers speaking various accents can be seen everywhere!

"Our chance has finally arrived!" Angus's eyes shone with an intense light. He took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement and said in a deep voice to his subordinates, "Go! Go and invite Teacher Baili over according to the plan!"

Chapter 0258 [Your Name] Premiere Promotional Event!

A slightly timid, weak voice rang out—Latifa said this, and moved her legs as if uneasy—but even such a slight movement gave Baili Xiao a great shock.

"Latifa, what's going on?"

"Teacher Baili, you must be exhausted these past few days. I saw you fall asleep on the sofa, so I was thinking about how to help you relax, and that's how you ended up like this..." Latifa said, her azure eyes secretly glancing at Baili Xiao—she meant well, but not knowing his temperament, she was worried he might be angry...

"No, no, it's not hard work at all. Compared to what the teacher has put in these past few days, it's not hard work at all!"

With her happiest smile on her face, Latifa lowered her legs and tried to stand up, but after holding the same position for so long, she was already numb. With a cry of surprise, she fell into Baili Xiao's arms.

"Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, 407. You just need to rest a bit, um..."

The two fell silent for a moment, so awkward that neither knew what to say—fortunately, another voice interjected at just the right moment.

"Teacher Baili, the mayor has sent someone. Shouldn't you go and see them?"

Isuzu stood at the door of the room, showing no intention of coming in. Her usually expressionless face seemed, perhaps to Baili Xiao, much colder than usual.

"Are you already here? Latifa, why don't you rest for a bit?" Helping Latifa to sit down, Baili Xiao straightened his clothes slightly and looked at Isuzu: "Let's go."

...

"Mr. Baili, the premiere promotional event for 'Your Name' will be held tonight at 7 PM. We hope you can attend."

"No problem, is there anything I need to say at the time?"

"Don't worry, just say whatever you want then. The mayor has arranged a Q&A session where reporters will ask questions. I'm sure your answers will satisfy them!"

"ok, I get it."

"I'm entrusting everything to you, teacher!"
