After tidying her appearance in the restroom.
Bronya didn't keep Haru waiting long and quickly returned to the studio's rest area.
She saw Haru sitting on the sofa, holding a digital tablet and drawing something. Her beautiful eyes blinked curiously, then she walked over lightly and silently like a cat.
Circling to Haru's side, Bronya leaned down and saw a portrait of a black-haired, gray-eyed girl being drawn on the screen, with a slightly blushing shy expression that gave a very cute feeling.
"Are you drawing expression packs for Mansui?"
Bronya immediately recognized the character Haru was drawing - it was the Galgame heroine image she had decided on.
Hearing the voice, Haru looked up, his dark eyes instantly obscured by a large expanse of white.
The girl's figure was already extremely perfect - you couldn't see your feet when looking down - and at this moment she was maintaining a leaning posture, making her exaggerated chest muscles even more prominent.
Honestly, Bronya had to be at least a D-cup...
Haru studied art and had deep research into human body proportions. When his gaze saw the contours that stretched the girl's white shirt high, he judged the approximate measurements.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the greater an object's mass, the stronger its attraction.
After obtaining the data, Haru intended to look away, but ultimately couldn't overcome the laws of physics and couldn't help taking another look at Bronya's chest.
This made him notice some details.
When Bronya was in the restroom, she seemed to have accidentally splashed a few drops of water on her chest. The white fabric became semi-transparent when wet, vaguely revealing deep, alluring valleys.
No, he couldn't continue looking.
If it were Elysia, he could look as much as he wanted, but doing so with Bronya would cross the line - not the behavior of a gentleman.
Haru's eyes focused, the pure love war god possessed him, instantly restraining his instincts.
Food and sex are human nature - this was normal.
But having desire and acting on desire were completely different things.
Haru leaned back slightly so his vision was no longer blocked by the girl's peaks, calmly meeting those light gray eyes.
"You could say I'm drawing expression packs. Mainly I saw your blushing appearance just now and got some inspiration, so I drew a shy expression for Mansui. We might use it when making the game later."
"I wondered why it looked familiar - so I became your reference subject."
Bronya's body unconsciously moved a little closer, her chest's fullness less than ten centimeters from Haru.
At such close distance, Haru could faintly smell the fragrance coming from the girl's body, though he didn't know if it was body fragrance or a milky scent.
Or perhaps it was simply the scent of body wash?
Haru's thoughts wandered for a moment, then he shook his head and started chatting with Bronya.
"Boss, you know that art by nature draws from reality. To draw beautiful girls, naturally I need to take reference from beautiful girls."
"The reasoning is sound, but aren't you afraid of having your salary docked for using your boss's embarrassing moments as material?"
Bronya coughed lightly, squinting her eyes as she stared directly at Haru's profile.
"Boss, please show mercy! Salary is very sensitive - you can't dock that!"
Haru put down his pen and deliberately put on a somewhat aggrieved expression, arguing: "Besides, I'm doing this to make the game better. Even if there's no merit, there's hard work. Boss, you won't pay overtime but still want to dock my salary?"
"Pfft, I never said I wouldn't pay your overtime..."
Seeing Haru's appearance, Bronya couldn't help but laugh. Her slightly raised lips were like a cherry blossom about to bloom - beautiful and subtle.
"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. If this continues, Bronya will be painted as a black-hearted capitalist who exploits employees."
"How could that be... I've always believed that Bronya, you're an absolutely wonderful boss who would never randomly dock employee wages."
Haru also replied with a smile, then glanced at the time and put away his digital tablet.
"Yo, it's almost seven now. Since Bronya, you're awake, I can leave work with peace of mind."
"Mm, thank you for taking care of me for so long."
Bronya nodded gently, watching Haru stand up from the sofa, and asked: "Speaking of which, if you were eager to get off work, why didn't you wake me up?"
"Well... seeing you sleeping so soundly, you probably worked all night yesterday, so I thought I'd let you rest well."
Haru shrugged and answered naturally.
He and Qingque hadn't disturbed Bronya during the day for this reason. When it came time to get off work, thinking Bronya should wake up soon anyway, he simply decided to stay and work a bit of overtime!
"I see. Haru, you really are a gentle, good man."
Bronya pursed her lips, her gaze passing over the ring on the captain's left hand. "Having a boyfriend like you, your fiancée must be very happy."
"Ahaha, I'm not as good as you say. Any normal person would do the same."
Haru waved his hand with a smile, said goodbye to Bronya, and turned to leave.
But at this moment...
The girl clenched her small fists, her expression becoming complex as she suddenly called out to stop him.
"Um, Haru, wait a moment. I have something I want to... no, never mind."
Haru stopped, turned to look at Bronya who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Bronya's behavior was like a game NPC with a question mark over her head - clearly having something on her mind!
But it was precious after-work time...
Should he really give up the temptation of going home to trigger Bronya's quest?
Haru was silent for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh and walked back to the rest area, sitting in his previous position.
Facing Bronya, whom he had once dated, he really couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Bronya, is there something else you need from me?"
Haru observed the girl's expression while asking tentatively.
"It's nothing major, just wanted to discuss the game plan with you and chat about other things casually."
Bronya controlled her facial muscles, adding some forced cheerfulness to her expression.
"If it's taking up your time, we can talk another day."
"It's fine, no problem."
Haru could now confirm that Bronya was under considerable pressure, probably encountering some trouble.
He just didn't know what he could help her with...
Haru took out his phone, told Elysia not to wait for him for dinner, then took a bottle of oolong tea from the coffee table and handed it to Bronya - the non-alcoholic kind.
"We have plenty of time. Have some tea, let's chat slowly!"
