Chapter 42 - 40: Getting 900k Yen and Akechi’s Disbelief
Akechi arrived at Zaboru's office, his expression unreadable as he carried a sleek black suitcase in one hand. The moment he stepped inside, his sharp eyes locked onto Zaboru.
"Hello, Zaboru," Akechi greeted in his usual flat tone.
Zaboru glanced behind him, expecting to see Ayumi. "Yo, Akechi-san. Ayumi didn't come?"
Akechi shook his head. "Ayumi is on fire lately with creating her own game. It seems she's been inspired by you, Zaboru."
Zaboru raised an eyebrow in surprise. He knew Ayumi was interested in game development—after all, she had asked him to teach her while they were working on ZAS Arcade together—but hearing that she was fully invested was unexpected. A small grin crept onto his face.
"Well, good for her! Let her know that I'm happy to help if she needs it. She's been a big help to me, after all."
Akechi nodded in acknowledgment. "Got it." Then his gaze sharpened. "So, did you make any new games this week?"
Zaboru leaned back in his chair and smirked. "Yeah, I made one."
Akechi's brows rose. He had expected Zaboru to make at least two games—after all, he needed money. But once again, his predictions regarding Zaboru had been off the mark. This kid was truly something else.
