Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

"Here, this is the initial script of "Spirited Away", please give me your advice."

In the coffee shop, Hayao Miyazaki handed a stack of storyboard manuscripts to Qing Zhiyuan, and spoke half-truthfully with a smile on his face.

"I dare not give you advice, I believe in the talent of Miyazaki-senpai."

Qing Zhiyuan was a little stunned. Miyazaki-senpai really likes to tease people. How dare I give you advice?

If he really made some suggestions, Qing Zhiyuan would try his best to take care of the old man's self-esteem.

In fact, from so many years of getting along with him, Qing Zhiyuan feels that Hayao Miyazaki may seem venomous on the surface, but he is extremely serious about his work. He occasionally makes complaints and jokes, but they are all about insignificant complaints.

The old man's natural tsundere attribute is definitely full of it. The problem is that he doesn't know it yet.

What is different from working on manuscripts in the conference room before is that this time Hayao Miyazaki chose a coffee shop, where he could drink coffee comfortably and leisurely, enjoy the afternoon sunshine, and chat about some relaxing topics at the same time.

Maybe life and work should be like this.

This is a quaint and small, yet warm and exquisite coffee shop located in Tokyo.

This coffee shop is located in a quiet alley in the center of Tokyo, surrounded by rows of old Japanese-style buildings.

The store is not big, but it is very exquisitely designed.

A wooden signboard hangs at the door, with the name of the store written in beautiful fonts: "Warm Nest".

A strong aroma of coffee hits my face. The decoration inside the store is simple and warm, with some black and white photos and hand-painted paintings hanging on the walls, creating a literary and artistic atmosphere.

Moreover, there are some photos of Hayao Miyazaki hanging on the walls. On the stand at the door, there is also a display of Hayao Miyazaki's works, such as My Neighbor Totoro and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The photos are all very beautiful.

If you are familiar with Hayao Miyazaki's works, you will feel that this small coffee shop is like something out of one of Hayao Miyazaki's animated movies.

It can be seen that Hayao Miyazaki actually likes this cafe and comes there often.

…

A variety of coffee beans and grinders are placed on the bar, and the owner's love for coffee can be seen at a glance.

There are not many seats in the store, but each one is very comfortable.

There is a large round table, suitable for friends to gather and chat; there are also several small tables by the window, where you can enjoy the scenery outside the window. There is a small table lamp next to each seat to provide customers with soft light.

While the two were chatting, a plump orange cat walked over with elegant but shaky steps. The reason for the trembling might be that it was too fat.

The orange cat circled around and wrapped its tail around Qing Zhiyuan's calf, startling him.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced down and found that this guy was rubbing his face against his calf. He didn't know whether it was because his face was itchy or because he liked Qing Zhiyuan.

Good guy, you're still a naughty cat, right?

…

Seeing this, Hayao Miyazaki, who was sitting opposite Qing Zhiyuan and drinking coffee, couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Nagata likes you very much."

"Yongtai?" Qing Zhiyuan blinked in confusion.

"Well, there is an old fat cat in this store. I also have one at home." Hayao Miyazaki laughed.

"So this is a male cat?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a frown.

"Otherwise, why would the female cat be called Yong Tai?"

All right……

Qing Zhiyuan said that it was really an honor to be liked by Yong Tai.

However, Yongtai just nuzzled him a little, then lay at Qing Zhiyuan's feet and fell asleep leisurely.

"It seems that it may like you because your body is relatively cold." Hayao Miyazaki said with a smile.

"ha?"

"After all, it's scorching hot now. Although animals like cats are spiritual, they are sometimes hypocritical creatures that are afraid of cold and heat. Sometimes they rub against you, not because they like you, but maybe just because. Your temperature is just right.”

Ah this...

Qing Zhiyuan said, Miyazaki-senpai, please stop talking, it will hurt people's self-esteem.

"So, young people should exercise more. How can they get cold at such a young age?" Hayao Miyazaki picked up the coffee cup and said to himself.

"Senior, I am reading the script carefully!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Hayao Miyazaki closed his mouth.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't care too much about Yongtai.

If you like lying at his feet during the hot summer season, just lie here.

But...

Qing Zhiyuan vaguely felt that he should really exercise.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be terrible to make so much money and end up with no one left after spending it?

Moreover, there is a beautiful wife and a pair of lovely children at home, how could he become in poor health at such a young age?

For Nao Tsuda's happiness, Qing Zhiyuan said that she still has to practice.

…

After reading carefully for a while, the corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth raised slightly.

Great!

a.

It was exactly the same as the "Spirited Away" in his memory.

Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki also commented in the script storyboard:

For example, when Chihiro signed a contract with Yubaba, she wrote her name wrong because she was an elementary school student. This is very suitable for a girl of her age and looks very natural, but it is precisely because of this [ A small mistake like a scumbag allowed her to escape, and in the end she was not left here forever because she forgot her name.

It turns out there is such a story behind it.

Coupled with the detailed settings of various scenes, it is really breathtaking.

Qing Zhiyuan said that this is what he wanted.

"It's amazing. As expected of Miyazaki-senpai, this work is so exciting. If it can be released, it will definitely create a box office miracle."

Hayao Miyazaki felt quite comfortable being praised by Qing Zhiyuan and couldn't help laughing.

“And in the game, these similar settings should be able to create a very exciting world. When I think that players can explore the unknown in the world of Spirited Away, I am full of energy and confidence.

It's going to be an amazing game. "

The two discussed some detailed settings for a while, and Qing Zhiyuan felt that it would not be a big problem to make this game well.

Being able to show Hayao Miyazaki's animated world to players is a very fulfilling thing.

…

"I made some puffs, please try them. It's free, as long as you leave a review."

At this moment, the shopkeeper brought a plate of puffs and placed it on Qing Zhiyuan and Miyazaki's table.

"Okay. Thank you." Qing Zhiyuan nodded politely.

"No, it's me who wants to thank you."

After serving the snacks, the shopkeeper left with a smile.

The shop owner is a young neon woman. She wears a white apron and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, giving people an intellectual feel.

She entertains every customer with great enthusiasm and patiently introduces them to various coffee flavors and brewing methods.

With her careful preparation, every cup of coffee exudes a charming aroma that leaves people with endless aftertaste.

In addition to coffee, this coffee shop also offers some simple snacks such as French croissants, tiramisu, etc.

These snacks are all made by the owner himself and taste very delicious. Customers can spend a pleasant afternoon chatting with friends or family while enjoying delicious food.

"Zhen is such an interesting girl." Hayao Miyazaki sighed.

"Azhen?"

"Well, coming from Xiangjiang, China, I think their desserts are quite delicious."

Ah, hey, you obviously like sweet things, okay?

…

However, Qing Zhiyuan said that he fully understands Miyazaki Hayao's love for desserts and snacks. Many people like him who rely on inspiration to create have a sweet habit.

Mainly because sugar stimulates dopamine and makes the brain active.

People who don't eat sweets for many years will become stupid. The smarter people are, the more they like to eat sweets.

However, the side effects are also obvious, that is, it can easily lead to cardiovascular diseases and obesity.

…

After having afternoon tea, Qing Zhiyuan packed a portion of puffs and planned to take them back for Nao Tsuda and the two little guys to try.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought about how Tsuda Nao might have it all over his face.

The only sad thing is——

The two little guys are sure to get it everywhere.

This was the case when I bought them a birthday cake for their first birthday. Although the birthday cake was delicious and sweet, after eating it, almost half of their faces were disfigured and gaudy, like two little wild cats.

After eating, they have to take another bath.

…

Qing Zhiyuan put away Miyazaki Hayao's storyboards, then left the "warm nest" with him carrying his briefcase.

After walking for a while, he looked back at the sign in front of the store.

Seeing Qing Zhiyuan's strange look, Miyazaki couldn't help but laugh curiously, "What, did you forget something?"

"No."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, and continued to walk forward with Hayao Miyazaki.

"I just feel that this store is somewhat similar to many scenes in your works, Miyazaki-senpai. There is always a wonderful illusion that once we leave, this store may suddenly disappear."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The old man laughed heartily, "Your idea is very interesting. I'll see if I can do it in animation in the future."

"No, no, it's just a whim."

The world is really strange. A programmer like him, who was supposed to be working as a social worker in China in 2023, suddenly traveled to the neon of the 1990s. Who could have imagined such a thing?

After having such a magical experience, Qing Zhiyuan will not find it strange anything that happens in the world.

…

The two walked for a while, and when they passed a corner, they met an injured kitten.

To be precise, it was a kitten that looked completely black, with hair falling off, skinny and skinny, and some of its flesh was spread out, making it look like it was dying.

It was lying on the edge of the grass on the roadside, and it no longer had the power to even hide itself.

When Qing Zhiyuan passed by, it opened its eyes warily and barked.

"Looks like he should be the loser."

Hayao Miyazaki squatted down and looked carefully.

"There are actually a lot of stray cats on the neon streets," Hayao Miyazaki said with some worry. "This guy looks like he has never been in a fight."

"It's probably too small." Qing Zhiyuan said.

This body is only slightly larger than a hand, and is not proportional to the plump orange cat in the warm nest before.

This black cat has green eyes. Except for the four white paws, the whole body is pitch black. With the ribs and wounds all over its body, it looks a bit creepy.

"Well, it's probably only for a month or two."

Hayao Miyazaki picked it up, and the kitten struggled twice symbolically. It seemed that it didn't have much strength. However, under the comfort of Hayao Miyazaki's broad palm, its irritable mood eased slightly.

As if he didn't feel any hostility from him, the black cat closed his eyes and became quiet.

"Take it to the pet hospital."

"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

The two people took the little guy to a nearby pet hospital. After the veterinarian checked it, he said that the guy was indeed injured in a fight with other cats. There were many scratches on his body, but it was not easy to hold on until now.

He seems to be a stubborn guy.

"No problem, it should be cured." The veterinarian said with a smile, and hoped that they would leave their phone numbers so that they could be contacted later.

Hearing this, Hayao Miyazaki raised his head and looked at Qing Zhiyuan.

"Qingsang, aren't you interested in adopting one?"

"Black cat?"

"Well, black cats are so nice and very festive," Hayao Miyazaki said with a smile, "Black cats can bring luck to their owners."

This is similar to China.

In Neon, black cats are considered a symbol of good luck and people believe they bring wealth and happiness.

This belief originates from ancient neon myths and legends.

It is said that a black cat appearing at your door means good luck will come to you.

Therefore, many people will place some statues or paintings of black cats in their homes to hope for good luck.

In addition, some neon people will wear kimonos with black cat patterns during the New Year to hope for peace and success in the new year.

In addition to placing a black cat mascot at home, many Neon people also choose to keep a black cat as a pet.

They believe that black cats can ward off evil spirits and protect their families from misfortunes. Therefore, in some areas of Neon, black cats have even become an indispensable member of the family.

However, not all Neon people are convinced that black cats are a symbol of good luck.

Some people believe that black cats are just ordinary house cats, not much different from cats of other colors.

In addition, some people are afraid of black cats and believe that they are a symbol of evil.

In general, although there is a belief among some people in Neon that black cats are a symbol of good luck, this belief is not universal.

It can be seen that Hayao Miyazaki really likes cats. There are basically shadows of cats in his film works, and black cats appear a lot. There are many shadows of black cats in Kiki's Delivery Service.

Hayao Miyazaki himself has a fat cat named Yoshita.

In Studio Ghibli, Toshio Suzuki also has a big white cat. Sometimes when Qing Zhiyuan visits Ghibli, he can see it walking around the house recklessly, and sometimes it simply lies on its side lazily. Basking in the sun on the terrace table.

"Okay, after it is cured, I will adopt it." Qing Zhiyuan said.
