Outside an elegantly decorated high-end hotel...
Haru stopped in his tracks, withdrawing his hand from the girl's arm without any reluctance.
This was where Bronya was temporarily staying. From the cheeky yellow rabbit statue placed at the entrance, this HOMU-themed hotel might even be Anti-Entropy's property.
Honestly, Haru didn't quite understand why people in this world liked HOMU so much.
As far as he knew, this cute yet cheeky yellow rabbit was created by Anti-Entropy's leader Welt Yang.
Probably because Yang got tired of drawing mechs, during a period when he didn't participate in "Arahato" anime design, he casually drew a manga called "HOMU's Great Adventure."
Intentional flowers don't bloom, but unintentional willows grow into shade.
Compared to hardcore mechs, the general public seemed to prefer this mascot-type comedy character, and the HOMU IP unexpectedly became hugely popular.
Afterward, Anti-Entropy Entertainment developed a series of games around the HOMU IP.
Things like "HOMU Brawl," "HOMU's Great Adventure," "HOMU Racing" - though they were all family-friendly mini-games, their sales were unprecedentedly good, even surpassing Schicksal's "Kallen Fantasy" series.
In Haru's view...
HOMU was to Anti-Entropy what Mickey Mouse was to Disney - definitely a money tree.
It's just that Anti-Entropy's legal department was lacking, unable to reach the level of sending people to sue even if someone drew HOMU on a deserted island.
On the other hand, Schicksal's "Kallen Fantasy" series...
If anyone dared to create derivative works of Kallen with inappropriate content, no matter which corner of the world they were in, Schicksal's lawyer's letter would arrive within an hour, with a probability of seeing a blonde, blue-eyed man in the plaintiff's seat.
Tsk tsk, that Otto guy was really petty.
In previous loops, if someone surpassed Otto's ranking in "Kallen Fantasy," this guy would directly ban their account, truly shameless.
Haru routinely mocked Otto, then turned his gaze to Bronya.
"I'll see you off to here. Get some rest early when you go back."
"Won't you come up and sit for a while? Bronya is staying in the presidential suite on the top floor - it's quite spacious!"
The girl's beautiful eyes carried a trace of tipsy haziness as she softly extended an invitation.
Haru shook his head and decisively refused: "I'll pass. It's already late, and my fiancée is waiting for me at home!"
"What a family-oriented good man. Then Bronya won't force you..."
The girl nodded with a calm expression, though her tone sounded somewhat strange. "Speaking of which, Bronya still doesn't know where you live. Would it be convenient to share?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this?!"
Haru was stunned, his expression somewhat puzzled.
Thinking of Bronya's hacker identity, the girl wouldn't be planning to dox him, would she... No, that's not right. Who would ask for addresses directly offline when doxxing?
Haru almost laughed at his own speculation, then heard Bronya's explanation.
"Bronya will be staying in Nagazora City for quite a long time. I can't keep living in a hotel, so I'm considering buying a house."
The girl brought out an excuse she had thought of long ago, looking directly into Haru's eyes: "If suitable, Bronya might be able to become your neighbor. It would be convenient to discuss work matters in the future."
Ah, this...
Seeing your boss even after getting off work would be like a horror movie for corporate slaves!
Haru took a sharp breath and quickly waved his hands.
"Although I really hope I could help you, I'm afraid we can't be neighbors, because I'm currently living in a friend's villa, and she owns all the surrounding land - there are no other houses available."
The friend Haru mentioned was naturally referring to the landlord of the Elysian Realm.
As a great artist who was a symbol of an era, Eden's wealth was literally countless.
When Eden heard that he and Elysia wanted to move to Nagazora City for their world of two and might have to leave the Elysian Realm to find other rental housing...
This wealthy lady immediately said there was no need for such trouble!
She had a plot of land about 50,000 square meters in the center of Nagazora City, and could build a miniature version of the Elysian Realm in no time, allowing every tenant of the Elysian Realm to live comfortably in Nagazora City.
Incidentally, the person responsible for building this miniature Elysian Realm was Vill-V.
Who knows how many years this great magician had worked construction, but her infrastructure speed was incredibly exaggerated - it was completed in just one week.
"Is that so? What a pity..."
Bronya sighed and habitually put on a (´･ω･`) expression.
She had heard that something called "the neighbor next door" was popular in Shenzhou. The girl had wanted to learn from others' successful experiences, replay historical tactics, first becoming the captain's neighbor then waiting for an opportunity to raid his base.
Never did she expect this plan would die in the womb before it could even be implemented!
Seeing Bronya give up on the idea, Haru also wiped his cold sweat, feeling grateful for Eden's incredible wealth.
Too great, Eden!
You protected the corporate slave's off-work time and ensured Elysia's happy life every night!
Haru thought to himself that when he and Elysia had children in the future, he would definitely make Eden the first godmother. After all, without Eden's assist, this child might not even be born.
"Speaking of which, if you want to buy a house in Nagazora City, I could help you consider options."
Haru escorted Bronya into the hotel lobby while speaking.
As long as his boss didn't become his neighbor, Haru was quite willing to accompany Bronya to look at houses.
He himself also planned to buy a wedding house for Elysia, so taking this opportunity to understand the real estate situation would be good too.
"Then when Bronya asks for your help, you can't refuse, okay?"
Hearing Haru's words, the girl's expression improved slightly, her lips curving up by probably a few pixels.
"Of course, happy to serve you, BOSS."
Haru raised his eyebrows, smiling as he helped Bronya press the hotel elevator button.
The elevator doors quickly slid open from both sides.
The girl knew that today's date time with the captain would end here. Her light gray eyes lowered slightly, her long lashes trembling like butterfly wings, seemingly hiding the emotions surging in her heart.
After taking some time to suppress her reluctance, Bronya walked into the elevator, turned around and showed Haru an elegant smile.
"Bronya had a very happy time today. Thank you."
"No need to be polite. I just did what a gentleman should do."
Haru looked at the girl in the elevator, casually waving: "Good night, see you next week."
Bronya nodded gently, gazing at Haru's figure. Only after the elevator doors closed did her soft, snow-like voice quietly ring out.
"Mm, Captain, see you next week!"
