Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Seiji explained the situation to Mayuzumi and Saki after he ended the conversation with Hisashi.
"…In order to thank him for assisting , I'd like to request Sensei to autograph a picture of Idelia for him as a present."
"An autograph is of course fine, but will it really be alright to give out Idelia's picture?"
"It shouldn't be a problem."
The three of them then chatted for a while and had fun together.
Later, in the middle of the night, Seiji concentrated on cultivating in Reo's soul realm.
He no longer had the pressure of needing to deal with any imdiately upcoming duels, which was a good thing. Still, he didn't want to relax just because of that.
There were still many things he had to learn in order to beco a truly passable Yin Yang Master. He would need to beco a worthy leader. Not only did he need to know all sorts of spells, he also needed to learn more about the mystical society.
Yui ntioned before that various things would keep happening, so he needed to continue becoming stronger. Only with strength would he be able to respond and adapt appropriately to whatever situations arose so that he could protect his friends in tis of danger.
Without even needing to talk about the distant future, just this cell phone ga nad "Anna" that he saw Chiaki playing seed like it had sothing mystical behind it.
Seiji practiced cultivation all the way until he woke up the next morning.
During a break at school, he received a phone call from Natsuya. She told him that the investigative report on "Anna" was finished.
"According to the report, this cell phone ga was created by a company called the Paperwing Gas Laboratory. This company was established in September of last year. The main person who developed this ga is nad Kazuhiko Haiga. He's a sowhat famous indie ga developer in the industry. He led his Paperwing Gas Laboratory and developed this 'Anna' ga in just three months' ti. The main character's design as well as the core programming, that is to say, this 'Anna' character's very existence and AI were all personally done by him. He also personally oversaw the programming that forced players to sign up with their real nas on governnt-issued ID and only being able to download with a recomndation code, along with the chance that applying for an account might fail. As the lead developer, Kazuhiko Haiga refused to make any changes to this system.
"He told his coworkers in his company that he was able to create 'Anna' due to an almost divine inspiration, which was why he's unwilling to make any changes or modifications to how 'Anna' works."
Seiji didn't know what to say to this.
Kazuhiko Haiga? Could he possibly have a relative nad Kazuya Akihiko, or was there also a Professor Shigemura in this world? Seiji couldn't help but ntally comnt . 1
"I think that Kazuhiko Haiga's circumstance is quite similar to Shoutarou Rinura's from before, so type of Awakening… or perhaps he ca into contact with so mysterious existence," Natsuya continued. "There might be sothing hidden behind this cell phone ga, but it might also be perfectly normal. It's currently unconfird."
"So, the best thing to do is still not to touch this ga, right?"
"Yes, because there's no telling what might happen to it in the future."
Seiji mulled things over. "Is there anyone that's interested in purchasing 'Anna'? At least on the surface, this is a ga with great potential."
"So ga companies have already contacted Kazuhiko Haiga and shown such an interest. However, he adamantly refused to sell his ga or even work together with any other ga company."
"I see, as I thought."
"Seiji, could it be that you want to…"
"Indeed. I'm quite interested in the concept of artificial intelligence. And if she's sothing dangerous, purchasing her and dealing with her in such a fashion is a way of dealing with this matter as well."
Natsuya was rendered speechless.
'He just adopted a female demon, and now he wants a female artificial intelligence as well? Is this the true nature of a harem protagonist?' She couldn't help but inwardly comnt.
"Although Kazuhiko Haiga is currently against the idea of selling his ga to others, wouldn't it be impossible for him to completely possess such an artificial intelligence by himself for long?" Seiji continued speaking.
"That's right. Nobody is moving against him now, but as long as his ga continues gaining in popularity, sobody will surely take notice and take forceful action," Natsuya agreed.
"I would like to have a face-to-face eting with Kazuhiko Haiga. Could you help arrange this?"
"You think that you'd be able to convince him?"
"Of course not, but I'd still like to try. It's more out of curiosity. I'd like to et this creator who received divine inspiration." Seiji looked outside the window at the sky.
There was a clear sky today. It was excellent weather for eting with soone.
Kazuhiko Haiga was currently in a foul mood.
Once again, he had another argunt today with his coworkers at Paperwing Gas Laboratory. The argunt was always about the sa topic—about how players applied for accounts, as well as cooperating with bigger professional gaming companies.
Many of his coworkers were hoping to do this so that "Anna" could gain recognition even quicker, which would also give a boost to their inco.
They were completely unable to accept Haiga's adamancy regarding this signup thod that would reduce the number of players along with refusing to cooperate with any other gaming company. They felt that he was limiting "Anna's" developnt potential.
Haiga understood that his coworkers needed money for various reasons so they hoped that they would be able to receive bonuses by making the ga more popular. He understood that they were dissatisfied with the current system. Yet, he was truly unable to back down on this.
Not only did he have conflicts with his coworkers, he was also annoyed at all the outsiders trying to contact him.
Even though "Anna" wasn't a hugely popular phenonon yet, various individuals were already getting close to him like sharks that detected the scent of blood. There were those that wanted to invest in his ga, those that wanted to cooperate, those that wanted to buy his ga completely… Even though he had adamantly refused them all, there were more and more people that ca to bother him.
All of these things made Haiga feel quite frustrated. He walked out of the Paperwing Ga Laboratory and went out for a walk after arguing with his coworkers.
The weather was quite pleasant, with not a cloud to be seen in the sky.
Haiga relaxed himself and walked aimlessly to a nearby park. He then sat down on a bench near a stream and watched the clear stream water flow for a while, which helped him to calm down significantly.
He then took out his cell phone and opened up the "Anna" cell phone ga.
"Welco back, Kazuhiko."
The beautiful black haired, red-eyed girl who wore light purple Sakura Island clothing smiled gently upon noticing his return and put down the poem anthology she had been reading.
"You've worked hard."
Haiga instantly felt like he was completely cured upon hearing these gentle words. He even smiled reflexively.
"I'm willing to work harder than anyone for your sake, Anna," he spoke in a gentle tone.
"Don't say that…" The girl's face flushed slightly red. "I'm thankful for your intentions, but rember not to push yourself. If you're too tired from working, you should rest."
Haiga smiled and looked at her.
"What would you like to do now?" Anna lightly waved her hand, causing various options to appear on the screen.
Haiga chose "Listen to a song".
The cara zood out as Anna stood up, walked out of her room, and headed to the garden.
In this beautiful garden, so music started playing in the background along with pink cherry blossoms falling down. Anna began to sing the ga-popular national idol Miyuki Sakuraku's hit single, "Empty Snowfall".
Anna's singing flowed excellently and sounded quite emotional. It was as if she was a real person who was a truly skilled singer.
Haiga didn't make a sound as he listened to her performance.
Anna was a true miracle.
Rather than saying that he created Anna, it was more like Anna borrowed his hand in order to descend upon this world.
That was why he was unable to fix any of the core programming or make any modifications. It was just like how a human's soul couldn't be programd or modified.
Anna finished her rendition of Miyuki Sakuraku's song.
"Excellent singing, Anna," Haiga gave his sincere praise.
Anna smiled in response.
"Indeed, that was great singing," a voice suddenly spoke up from next to Haiga.
Haiga was startled by the sudden voice and turned around to see a handso boy wearing a school uniform. This boy had arrived without him realizing it and was currently sitting next to him on the bench.
"She behaves completely just like a real person. Such amazing artificial intelligence," Seiji said as he spoke to the man next to him.
