Chapter 641 545 It's Time to Say Goodbye

…

"Nene, have you heard? Pokeni's new game is about to be released."

On the rooftop, Masaharu Yamada started as usual.

The sky in the distance is blue and it’s a sunny day, but——

The wind is very noisy today.

Everyone's hair was a little messy.

"I know, isn't it Yu-Gi-Oh? After I bought it, I still play it every day before going to bed." Kinoshita Keisuke said.

"Yu-Gi-Oh! is a game from last month." Hayamikawa complained, "The latest game released is called "Bullfighting""

"Yes, that's the name." Kinoshita pretended that he was right.

The people around him looked at him with disdain.

"But, have you noticed that the name of pokeni's new game this time is quite strange, it's called "Bullfighting"" Yamada Masaharu started.

"Yeah, yeah, I thought it was some kind of action game, simulating Spanish bullfighting? But after watching the promotional video, it seems that's not the case. In the promotional video, the bullfighting actually uses two bulls to fight." Jian Chuan echoed.

"This is not the most outrageous thing. What is even more outrageous is that this is actually a galgame. Can you believe it?" Masaharu Yamada smoked silently and slowly shook his head. It was really incredible.

This kind of incredible level is probably similar to how artificial girls in the future actually play building houses.

From the name to the introduction of the promotional video, except for the cute girl flashing across the screen, who would dare to believe that this is actually a galgame?

"Could it be that you are in love with a cow? A beast mother?" Hayamikawa expressed doubts.

On the entire rooftop, Hayamikawa and Yamada Masaharu were the two most actively discussing.

Starting from the promotional video and analyzing it layer by layer, although they couldn’t analyze anything before the game was released, they still enjoyed it. It seems that discussing pokeni’s games has become the happiest thing in their daily lives.

It's like being calm, like a small stone thrown into the stagnant pool of work and life by pokeni.

Although it is small, it can still create a ripple.

This is probably a common phenomenon after the stagnation of the neon economy.

For many people, their daily work and life are no different from machines. If they don't do it all their lives, their brains will become moldy.

Fortunately, there are games in the world that can be easily accessed and enjoyed by ordinary people. They can kill time and get dopamine at the same time.

What's even more fortunate is that there is a company called pokeni in this world, which makes these tiny happinesses as precious as luxury goods.

especially--

"This new game is still supervised by Tsubaki Furuhara, produced by Mika Ishino, and Jun Asae is the script writer. Think about this lineup, you can't lose no matter what." Masaharu Yamada seduced.

"Don't you consider getting one?"

"Speaking of it...this lineup...didn't 86 lose once before?" Kinoshita Keisuke asked.

"But then the sequel to 86 was released, and it was reversed." Masaharu Yamada retorted.

"Oh... It seems like that, but I was busy having a baby with Yuka at the time, so I didn't play much of the 86 sequel. Looking at it this way, I still have to find time to make up for it."

When it came to the children, several people suddenly fell silent.

Kinoshita and Yuxiang were the first to get married. Among them, they still have no children.

It is estimated that there is something wrong with someone on both sides.

Considering that the cheating rate of Neon married wives is as high as over 40%, this problem will most likely occur in Kinoshita.

"But, speaking of children..."

On the other hand, Hirokawa Furukawa, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said:

"I hope you don't mind Kinoshita."

"Huh?" Kinoshita's fingers holding the cigarette suddenly twitched, but everyone had guessed it -

Furukawa Hirose has a child?

"Junna is pregnant?!" Hayamikawa looked shocked.

There are even some who are too surprised, more than the people involved.

"Yes." Furukawa Hirose nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, "I just found out the day before yesterday. Junna also found out that her aunt hadn't been here for a month, so she wondered if she had a child.

As a result, I went to the hospital to check and found that it was indeed the case. "

"Guy, how lucky are you!"

Kinoshita Keisuke punched Furukawa Hirose in the chest, then stretched out his arms to hug his neck, "That's great, it's really great."

Although Kinoshita felt a little sour in his heart, Furukawa is his good brother. If a good brother has a child, it is equivalent to me having a child.

It was too late for him to be happy.

But when he said the words "too good", there were tears in the corners of Kinoshita's eyes.

"Everything will be fine. We guys are actually lucky." Hayamikawa sighed silently, "Everything will be fine."

He raised his head and looked at the group of men around him.

Although everyone seems to be standing on the rooftop chatting and laughing as usual, there have actually been a lot of changes.

Yamada Masaharu is no longer young, he is already in his 30s.

He also has a beard on his lips, making him look more mature. Although he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, he has begun to exude the mature charm of an old man that attracts girls.

And what about Kinoshita?

After being married for so many years, there is no child. The crow's feet at the corners of the eyes have increased, and the whole face is thinner, but the spirit is still full.

The most enviable person is still Furukawa Hiroze.

He is the only man who chased his first love and got married. Now he has not only been promoted to the department head, but his wife is also pregnant.

He is a winner in life, with a double harvest of career and love.

"Congratulations." Yamada Masaharu smiled very brightly, and his mentality was similar to Kinoshita. Although he has no children and is still a single dog, his good brother is suddenly going to have a child, and he always feels that he is also involved.

It's not that he really cheated on Furukawa, but he has a sense of joy from the emotional point of view.

Even this joy and excitement are greater than the parties involved.

"Since you have a child, you have to work harder in the future." Hayamikawa smiled.

He just put the cigarette in his hand to his mouth, and suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out his wallet, extinguished the cigarette butt on it, and then put it away.

"Don't worry, I don't smoke at home, it's rare that I can enjoy it for a while at the company." Furukawa Hiroze said with a smile.

Everyone smiled slightly, showing understanding.

But no one present smoked again.

Yamada Masaharu finished smoking the one in his hand and quietly put it into his wallet.

...

"It's actually quite good. Each of us is following the path planned by fate." Hayamikawa suddenly sighed, "Yamada, you should find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Don't be like me. I'm almost 40 years old and still single."

Yamada Masaharu's mouth twitched twice, "If I could find one, wouldn't I want it? But the problem is that in this era, girlfriends are creatures that can only be encountered by chance.

Some people's window period is so short, and they will be gone after this time."

Yamada Masaharu's eyes became erratic, and everyone knew at a glance that he was thinking about his first love again.

Unfortunately, as Yamada said, new employees in the workplace now either have boyfriends or think that Yamada is not cost-effective.

If it was a 40-year-old department manager like Hiroze Furukawa, he might consider it.

As far as Yamada knows, the new girl named Chiharu Wada is flirting with Furukawa intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, he is a bit dull and didn't take the bait.

However, Shoji Yamada sighed heavily.

Now it has entered a paradox. If the company wants to promote you, you need to get married and have a stable family.

However, if the girl wants to like you, you need to have a high position and a high annual salary.

In short, you have to be young, handsome, rich and powerful.

Shoji Yamada, who is already in his 30s, actually has none of them now.

Why don't you promote me first?

The class structure in Japan has become as hard as steel.

…

"In this case, you can't rely on traditional ways of dating to meet girls. Now it's the Internet age, the Internet age!" Kinoshita inspired him, "RTT.

Join a local group on it, and you can see many girls who match your conditions at once.

If you like them, just take the initiative to ask for their contact information.

Develop it slowly, and it will be easy to succeed."

"Haha, Kinoshita, how are you so skilled? Does Yuka know that you chat with girls online?" Hayamigawa said with a smile

"Oh, it's just chatting, what's the big deal, don't always think of me so badly, and I'm a 40-year-old man, who can be interested in an uncle like me?"

"Not necessarily, a 40-year-old man is just the ideal prey for girls." Furukawa Hiroze also added fuel to the fire.

"Hey, hey, you guys, why are you off topic again? Why are you talking about women for no reason?

Pokeni's new game is about to be released, and it's supervised by Furuhara Tsubaki."

Everyone talked and laughed, and continued to discuss the game.

At this moment, a voice was mixed in with the laughter:

"I was sent abroad." Hayamigawa said.

"Jun Maeda, your current level...eh?"

The people who were talking stopped at the same time and looked at Hayamigawa in disbelief.

"What did you say?" Kinoshita stared with big eyes, not daring to believe the news.

For the company, being sent abroad is basically equivalent to not coming back, and then fending for oneself in the subsidiary. If the performance is not good, you can be abandoned.

It's no different from a gecko's tail.

In a sense, being sent abroad = useless people = garbage.

"Eh? Is it true?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone at the scene.

"There's nothing I can do. The company doesn't need people like me anymore." Hayamigawa sighed silently. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that Furukawa Hiroze was about to become a father, so his hand in his pocket stopped again.

He raised his hand, tidied up his messy hair, and smiled calmly:

"It's been ten years, it's time to say goodbye."

Everyone was a little surprised.

"Can't you talk to your boss? Why? You have made so many contributions to the company." After all, Yamada Masaharu was the youngest in the group, and he couldn't accept it emotionally.

The other two 40-year-old men seemed more open-minded.

"This is probably life."

Experience it in ten years, and then spend the rest of your life reminiscing about it.

All good things must come to an end.

Everyone has almost realized this.

"With the Internet in the future, we can keep in touch with each other wherever we go." Hayamikawa said.

"Yeah. In the Internet age, separation is not that scary. It's just a different way. We can keep in touch and keep sharing."

"Fortunately, there are still good memories." Hayamikawa laughed.

"To be honest, I'm really happy to have your company in the past ten years. I still remember the scene when we stood here ten years ago, chatting about games in the breeze."

"Yes, that's right, Pokeni just released Onmyoji at that time." Furukawa Hiroze said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye. To be precise, it's been 11 years."

"Qing Zhiyuan has also grown from a young boy to a 37-year-old uncle who is almost 40 years old now."

"Haha, about the same as us."

"Thinking about it, I was still very moved when I played Onmyoji for the first time.

When I think back to the time when Yuuki Rei died, I still feel like my heart was stabbed."

"Then, come to my house to play games together." Hayamikawa said with a smile.

"Of course!" Kinoshita raised his hand and punched Hayamikawa in the chest.

"I want to go too." Yamada Masaharu raised his right hand.

Everyone looked at Furukawa Hiroze.

The latter smiled slightly, "I'll send a text message to Junnai, I won't go home tonight, let's go to Hayamigawa's house and have a good time!"

"Play galgame together? It feels a bit embarrassing."

"What are you afraid of? What's there to be ashamed of in a pokeni galgame?"

"The main thing is that it's really ugly when four grown men cry."

"Well... it seems to be a problem."

"Who cares? Who says four grown men can't cry together!"

"That's right, cry your heart out, I also want to see the magic of Furuhara Tsubaki this time!"

...

Under such circumstances, after work, the four people came to the game store near the company at the same time.

The fat store manager was stunned when he saw them in a neat row.

"It's really strange, why are you all so neat today?"

In the past, either Kinoshita or Furukawa was missing.

Because these two people got married, their demand for games was not so strong.

Originally, Furukawa Hiroze was a frequent visitor to the game store, but later it became Yamada Masaharu.

The store manager was actually a little touched to see the four people gathered together.

"Pokeni's new game "Bullfighting" was just released today. One for each person?"

"Yes. One for each person."

The four people nodded in unison.

In the future, after Hayamikawa was sent abroad, there will be no such opportunity again.

Perhaps it's just like Hayamikawa said.

After 11 years of companionship, it's time to say goodbye.
