After ending his call with Tomohisa, Seiji explained the situation to Mayuzumi and Saki.
"… In order to thank him for his help, I would like Sensei to autograph a picture of Idelia as a gift to him."
"An autograph is fine, but will it be alright to give Idelia's picture to him?"
"It won't be a problem."
After that, the three of them chatted for a while and had some fun.
…
Late at night, in Seiji's soul realm.
Seiji was focusing on cultivating his spells.
It was good that he no longer had to face the pressure of a duel. However, he couldn't relax just like that.
There were still many things he needed to learn in order to become a true Yin-Yang Master and be able to take on the responsibilities of a team. Not only did he need to learn various spells, but he also needed to learn about mystical domains.
Yui had told him that various things would happen in the future, so he needed to continue working hard to become stronger. Only then would he be able to react appropriately and protect his companions in times of danger.
Not to mention, the cell phone game "Anna" that he had seen so far might contain some sort of abnormality.
Seiji cultivated until the next morning.
After he went to school, he received a phone call from Summer Night. She told him that she had received the investigation report on "Anna".
"According to the report, the Paper Wings Game Studio that created this cell phone game was established at the end of September last year.
The creator of the game is Kazuhiko Haiga. He's a somewhat famous independent game designer. He led the studio to create 'Anna' within three months. The game's main character design and core programming, which is to say, 'Anna' character's appearance and AI, were all created by Kazuhiko Haiga.
"The game uses the player's real name as the game's name, and the fact that you can only download the game with a recommendation code, as well as the fact that you can't apply for an account, were all controlled by the game's core programming. Kazuhiko Haiga refused to make any changes to the game.
He told the others in his studio that he was only able to create 'Anna' because he received a divine revelation. It was as if a god had bestowed a miracle upon him. He was unable to modify or create anything. "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Did Kazuhiko Haiga have a relative named Akihiko Mao? Or did he have a university professor named Shigemura? Seiji commented in his mind.
"I think that Kazuhiko Haiga's situation is similar to Linpu Kotaro's. He's awakened … or perhaps he's connected to some mysterious existence." Summer Night continued, "There might be a mastermind behind this, or there might not be one. We're not sure yet."
"The best course of action is to not touch this game, right?"
"Yes, because I don't know what will happen in the future."
Seiji thought about it.
"Is there anyone who wants to buy Anna? At least on the surface, this is a game with great potential. "
"Some companies have already contacted Kazuhiko Haiga and expressed similar intentions. However, Kazuhiko adamantly refused to cooperate with them."
"I think so too."
"Seiji, don't tell me you also want to …"
"Yes. I'm interested in unusual artificial intelligence, and if she's something dangerous, acquiring her and dealing with her is also a solution. "
Summer Night was rendered speechless.
He had just adopted a female demon, and now he wanted a female artificial intelligence. Was this the natural instinct of a male protagonist in a harem anime? She complained in her heart.
"Although Kazuhiko Haiga is against purchasing Haiga, he probably won't be able to control such an artificial intelligence for too long, right?" Seiji continued.
"That's right. Nobody has done anything yet, but if this game continues to attract attention, someone will definitely do something, "Summer Night expressed.
"I'd like to meet up with Kazuhiko Haiga for a discussion. Can you tell me how to find him?"
"You think that you'll be able to convince him?"
"I don't think so, but I want to try. More than anything, I'm curious. I want to meet this creator who received a revelation from him." Seiji looked outside the window at the sky.
Today's weather was sunny. It was a good day to visit someone.
…
Kazuhiko Haiga was quite frustrated.
Today, he had gotten into another argument with his coworkers from his gaming studio. It was still about how to apply for player accounts and cooperate with commercial companies.
Several of his coworkers from his gaming studio hoped that "Anna" could be promoted as soon as possible in order to obtain more income.
They were unable to accept Haiga's insistence. They felt that the current anti-marketing system and the fact that they didn't cooperate with commercial companies at all was tying "Anna" down.
Haiga knew that his coworkers needed money for different reasons. They hoped that they would receive bonuses after the game's income increased. He understood that they were dissatisfied with the current system. However, he was unable to back down.
His conflict with his coworkers was one reason. Others contacted him and visited him.
Even though "Anna" hadn't become widely known yet, people from all walks of life were already gathering around him like sharks that smelled blood. There were people who wanted to invest in him, people who wanted to cooperate with him for profits, and people who wanted to completely purchase him … Even though he refused from the very start, more and more people still came to disturb him.
Haiga was quite annoyed by all this. After his argument with his coworkers, he left his gaming studio and went out for a walk.
The weather was sunny with no clouds in sight.
Haiga emptied his thoughts and walked aimlessly to a nearby park. He sat down on a bench by the river and watched the clear flowing river for a while. He felt much calmer now.
Then, he took out his cell phone and opened the [Anna] app.
"Welcome back, Kazuhiko."
A black-haired, red-eyed beautiful girl wearing light purple Sakura Island clothing looked at him on the screen. She smiled gently as she put down the poetry book in her hand.
"You've worked hard."
Haiga instantly felt like he was healed upon hearing these gentle words. His mouth arced upwards slightly.
"I'm willing to work hard for you, Anna," he said in a gentle voice.
"Don't say that …" The girl's face reddened slightly. "Thank you for your kind intentions, but don't force yourself. You should rest if you feel like you're working hard."
Haiga smiled 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 camera zoomed out. The girl in the Sakura Island clothing stood up, walked out of the room, and headed for the courtyard.
In the beautiful courtyard, Anna started singing Miyuki Sakuraku's popular single "Flashy Snow" as pink cherry blossoms fell from the sky.
Her voice was smooth and beautiful, filled with emotion. It was as if an excellent singer was singing.
Haiga quietly listened to the music on the screen.
Anna was a miracle.
Rather than saying that he created Anna, it was more accurate to say that Anna borrowed his hand to be born into this world.
That was why it was impossible for him to modify the core program, much less recreate it. It was just like how it was impossible to modify or duplicate a human's soul.
She finished singing.
"Excellent singing, Anna," Haiga praised her sincerely.
The girl in the Sakura Island clothing responded with a smile.
"Indeed excellent," a voice suddenly spoke up next to him.
Haiga was surprised to hear this. He turned around to see a handsome boy wearing a school uniform who had unknowingly sat down next to him.
"She's acting just like a real person. What an amazing artificial intelligence."
