62 Flustered?
Seeing Yuuya act like this Apophis felt like she had succeeded.
'Haha, he is flustered for sure this time. I am such a genius, go on tell me what you want to. I am ready for anything.' Apophis was smiling from ear to ear waiting for Yuuya's next words.
Yuuya turned his head towards her as his hair fluttered with bright sparkles around him. Apophis's eyes widened with her heartbeat increasing as well.
"You Know that I can report you for sexual harassment on a minor right?" Yuuya spoke in a soft tone with a small smile.
SILENCE*
The room was silent as Apophis was at a loss for words.
"HUH???" Apophis shouted as she looked at Yuuya again.
"You fucking bastard, why are saying it like a shoujo manga male lead who is about to confess his feelings? You got my hopes up for nothing, You monster." Apophis shouted as she pointed at Yuuya.
'My Heart, how can you be so cruel. I even thought I was smooth for a second. he is taking revenge for me cutting him off, isn't he? he really is.' Apophis was crying tears of blood.
"I am just letting you know," Yuuya's voice went back to his normal tone as he shrugged.
POP*
Veins appeared on Apophis's forehead as she looked at Yuuya.
"YOU BASTARD, let me show you what actual sexual harassment is like," Apophis jumped on Yuuya in anger as he ran around the room with the short cake in his hand.
Apophis only stopped after Grayfia came back but she was still pouting and was quite upset with Yuuya even after Grayfia calmed her down. She didn't talk to Yuuya even during dinner.
'Sigh* she will calm down in some time,' Yuuya sighed as he walked towards the office he made in the house.
"WOOF!~" Hati was following Yuuya as she cried out happily because of a satisfying dinner.
Yuuya opened the door to the office and walked in.
The room was the same size as his living room the space here was around 300 sq feet, the room was well lit and had 4 big couches on the left side with some bookshelves that had famous books from this world. There was a prep area on the right side of the sliding door that showed his lawn.
There was an antique table in the middle with 30 inches LED display along with a wireless keyboard and mouse, the display looked rather simple as it didn't have any branding on it. There was also a tablet that was connected to it.
There was a display behind the table which contained decorative items like small statues and porcelain artworks that looked historic and antique. Even the carpet on which the table was placed looked like it was taken from a royal castle of some emperor.
'Apophis and Grayfia went a bit overboard with this, Anyway I should finish the Illustrations quickly, the meeting with the editors is in two days. it took me longer to build this pc than I thought. As I needed to make most of the parts from scratch,' Yuuya thought as he sat down on the comfy chair and he felt like he almost fell asleep.
"This chair is dangerous," Yuuya shook his head because he fell asleep on this chair yesterday night according to Apophis and Grayfia. This chair was also made by Apophis using magic just like most of the things in this room.
Yuuya turned looked at the computer screen and used to mouse to check all the illustrations he has finished.
'There is only a little remaining,' Yuuya thought as he looked at Hati who was lying down on the couch.
"It is good that CPU isn't having any problems, I was expecting a few things to go wrong but they worked out," Yuuya muttered as he looked at the left side of the room.
The reason for this was that the CPU that Yuuya was talking about was on the other side of the wall.
Yep, the Cpu was so big that he needed to keep it in another room of the same size as his office.
'Not the best one but this will do for now,' Yuuya thought as he looked at the computer screen the wallpaper of the screen has 'TAPAS' written on it.
That was the name of this CPU 'TAPAS'.
TAPAS has 188,688 nodes (64 nodes per blade, 128 blades per cabinet), each containing a 64-core AMN Opteron 9274 CPU with 246 GB of DDR9 ECC memory and a Skyle Tesla K90Z GPU with 64 GB GDDR9 ECC memory. There are a total of 1,299,008 processor cores and a total of 1,693.6 TiB of CPU and GPU RAM.
Tapas's Specs were way higher than the current top supercomputers in the world if Yuuya wanted to he can easily manipulate the internet from his home, But this thing was used to make Illustration for Anime characters at the moment.
'Who would believe this?' Yuuya was amused with himself as he knew that he had gone a bit too overboard this time.
He didn't need to make something like this as a normal PC would've done the job for him, the reason he went to such lengths to make this even though he needed to make most of the things from scratch was…
'I am still trying to run away huh,' Yuuya scoffed at himself.
He has been putting all of his time into making this thing while minimizing his interaction with everyone. This is how he has been running away from the problems he doesn't want to face.
This is how he has been doing things his whole life trying to bury himself into something else rather than face his past.
'Why did I even agree to go to school even though I thought it wasn't necessary?' Yuuya sank into his chair while closing his eyes.
He remembered the face Apophis made while asking him.
'Was it because I didn't want to betray that expression again?' Yuuya silently thought and shook his head. he has made her sad once before and something in him won't allow him to do it a second time.
Yuuya picked up the pen and started to work on the Illustration of the scene when rem tries to cheer up Subaru and gives one of the most heartfelt speeches in anime history cementing herself as the Best girl of the series in the heart of many readers. even though Re: Zero had many female characters that can be considered best girl as the series progressed.
But this scene also made many readers hate Subaru as well. But by the end of the series, many people came to like him as the idiot who kept putting others ahead of himself and never considered saving himself. although idiotic it had a charm in its own right at least in Yuuya's eyes.
'To save everyone, huh.' Yuuya thought.
Even though this one wasn't one of the urgent ones, Yuuya looked at the screen for a minute before he started working on the illustration.
...
In the other world,
Far away from the Alceria kingdom and any human countries in the huge expanse of the land that was covered in huge trees.
You will only see huge trees with large foliage that covers all of the land and made it look like a green sea if looked at from above.
This place was named 'The Never-ending Forest or The Sea of Trees' by the humans as no one has been able to explore this forest in full.
But that wasn't the only thing it was famous for, the other thing that made it famous was a kingdom that was hidden deep within this forest.
Under a giant tree that was more than 30 km in height and covered a large expanse with its branches casting a shade under it and in this shade you can see a bustling city that was full of life and nature with many people moving around the streets.
"How much is that for?"
"10 bronze,"
"That is too expensive,"
"If you don't want it to go somewhere else,"
People were roaming the streets buying things from the shops.
"Hey let's look at that,"
"There is a new snack made in the sweet shop lets go,"
"Yeah, let's go,"
The kids were running around the place with gleeful smiles.
"Hey, Kids be careful,"
"Yes, Thank you, Mr.Knight,"
"Kids have too much energy"
While some knights who were dressed in full body armor patrolled the streets to keep the citizens safe from any danger.
All of the people had two things in common, the first was that they were all extremely good-looking no matter if they were men, women, or even children all of them had the looks that can enchant countless humans with their appearance alone.
And the second thing they had in common was they all had long and pointy ears.
This was Licht the capital city of the Elven kingdom Elshire. Everyone was moving around the city giving it a lively atmosphere. But this wasn't how it was always like this, The elven people although they were strong the people who lived in the outskirts of the kingdom were under constant threat of being kidnapped.
No matter how high the security was they couldn't protect the people fully as the humans somehow snatched the kids or women from the villages.
Elves were always hunted by the slave traders because of their beautiful appearance which made them live in fear of being caught. But now everyone in the kingdom can live without worrying about any of this.
All of this was only possible because of the new queen who was crowned 10 years ago.
