When I woke up, my boss was gone.

"Is it a dream?"

It wasn't a dream.

The head of the headquarters, who had been fighting with fans for the past few days, has disappeared.

Of course, it's not resigning. I just went back to where I worked.

Turns out, the director was about to jump with his portfolio.

According to what I heard from the working-level staff as a carder, I was originally going to go after a year.

In the meantime, there was a dispute with the fans, and they talked well above using it as an excuse and flew it away.

And of course, the collaboration between testa and games that was included in the director's portfolio...….

It's been continued. They've already signed the contract.

"Shooting."

However, I can't even whine to my fans who like it because I sent the head of the headquarters.

I accepted the reality and started getting ready to go out.

Today was Friday when the meeting was scheduled.

* * *

"Hello, I'm a huge fan!"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two met at the meeting were surprisingly numerous-looking men and women.

I felt sorry for the impression of a con artist.

In addition, the collaboration story seemed to have been sudden, and it seemed a little lost.

"Let me explain our game first"

"Yes, yes!"

"I'll listen carefully."

"Yes, then...…

What follows is... It sounded quite distinctive and interesting.

That was also unexpected.

"Wow."

"…So, the main story of the game is the story of the protagonist exploring Seoul, which was destroyed by a mysterious substance from a meteorite. It's a log-like adventure where you meet various forces in Seoul and your colleagues and abilities change depending on your choice."

"It's going to be a lot of fun!"

"Oh, thank you!"

First of all, Kim Rae-bin clapped and came out.

It's a sign that it's going to be really good.

Does it mean that the head of the headquarters threw away unexpectedly may not be trash but high-quality beef?

Besides, these people were quite friendly. It doesn't just mean that it's favorable, but that it has a favor to use for work.

"Actually, this collaboration... We also didn't have enough time to investigate because we received it all of a sudden, but when we checked the basics... The "Magic Boy" that you made was really cool.”

"Oh, thank you. We can't wait to check out the game. It's going to be a lot of fun."

"Oh, well, wait a minute. Do you want to play?”

"What?"

"I'm fixing the bug, but it's already playable! It won't be too much to proceed.”

A smartphone device came out of the arms of the person sitting on the left. It was a large Android model.

The person who touched the smartphone and turned on the game execution screen handed it to Ryu Chung-woo.

"Oh……."

"Me! I'm doing it!"

Ryu Chung-woo, who received it a little awkwardly, became troubled by Cha Yu-jin's desperate request.

However, I thought it would be better for someone who is good and funny to do it, so I quickly turned over the smartphone with the words of the request.

"Use it carefully."

"Yeah!"

Cha Yu-jin took it quickly and started the game with her eyes shining. The rest of the members began to look into the screen with a curious look on their face.

'...that side looks excited, too.’

Mindful of the two people watching the testa with young eyes, I looked into the screen.

Perhaps it was difficult to implement everything in detail because of its high degree of freedom and mobile, the game was played alternately with text, graphics, and illustrations.

It was just very sophisticated and conceptual.

Besides, it was fun. The composition of gathering colleagues and clearing the story chapter was quite good.

'This... is going to work.’

It was of a quality that I could see why T1 took over.

"...But where are you promoting idols?"

That alone makes me speechless.

Anyway, Eugene shouted excitedly as she finished Chapter 1 in an instant.

"It's so much fun!"

"Oh~"

"Thank you."

The two struggled to regain their smartphones from Cha Yu-jin, who was disappointed.

And he said with a big smile.

"How was it? Is there a collaboration between you and me?"~ Is there a part that you do?"

"...well."

"I think we'll have to think about that from now on."

"…isn't it? We'll think about it."

It didn't get solemn because it was a situation that everyone expected.

But anyway, it was a big harvest just because the game wasn't a bust.

"Thank you."

"See you next time."

The first meeting ended with an ambiguous conversation of "Let's think about it individually." However, the atmosphere was good, as if the outlook was not bad in its own way.

"I think it would be nice to use that game's BGM as the title song.”

"...Isn't it because it's a commercial that you can't appear on public TV shows?"

"What?"

Kim Rae-bin, who was drawing pictures because he was inspired by Lee Se-jin's criticism, was troubled.

And I was a little relieved.

"First of all, I don't think the brand image will be destroyed."’

He may be criticized for being unreasonable and his grades may fall, but it was not likely to be a joke to the extent that it would interfere with the release of his next album.

"Now the question is, what are we collaborating on?"’

Discussions were held on this subject as soon as I entered the accommodation.

First of all, Ryu Chung-woo delivered the suggestion he heard from the working-level staff at the company.

"Isn't it neat to exchange BGM for B-side tracks and games?"That's the current opinion.”

"Well, it's easy."

He meant that there was no one to interfere with, so let's just do a collaboration with the pattern and finish it appropriately.

"I feel the grief of an office worker.’

However, surprisingly, big Se-jin laughed and shook his head.

"Hey, then we're the only ones working too hard."”

"What?"

"They're both related to music! I think AR team and we will have a hard time...…. Well, I think there should be something I bring, too."

I see.

"It's not that we don't lose money, it's that we've gone up to the point where we have to benefit."’

Surely if you go that way, the work will only add up and the benefits will end with the game company.

This is because games receive promotional effects, but there is no recognition or benefit from collaborating with games that have not been released.

It's rare for gamers to become an idol because of the BGM.M.'

"What's your opinion?"

"Let's think about it from now on. If you have to work anyway, it's good to taste the reward side."

"Well."

And as soon as people were about to be worried, Lee Se-jin opened his mouth with silence.

"…let's just leave it to the people at work. "You're busy preparing for the album, but isn't it weird that you tell us to decide what to collaborate on?"

"Hey, then the workload...….”

"That's up to the AR team. All we have to do is say we'll record.”

Lee Se-jin cut it off.

"In the first place... this situation is strange. Why does a rookie make a decision after all this? It's not like the company doesn't have money.”

“…….”

It's so true that I just want to accept it.

Lee Se-jin, who rarely talked a lot, was breathing heavily. He probably poured out what he had been thinking.

And Cha Yu-jin answered brightly.

"But I want to do something else!" BGM is not fun.”

“…….”

Lee Se-jin closed his eyes.

'Oh, dear.'

But seeing that he didn't run away, he got a lot better.

"Okay, let's go with a majority vote, right? I want to come up with a new collaboration theme, paw!"

Surprisingly, everyone except Lee Se-jin and me raised their hands.

"You mean people."

That must be for reasons such as "I want to challenge" and "I want to make a great work," not to make a profit except for Big Se-jin.

In the meantime, Big Se-jin pretends to be surprised.

"Oh, you don't want to do that?"”

"No, I'm on hold. If we get a good idea, let's do it there, or let's just make a BGM."

"Okay, let's just go ahead and do it."

Ryu changed the story again.

"Well, what are the advantages of our group collaborating with games?"

"...can you appear in a game?"

"Money? … is out of the question. The contract is already over."

"Yes, I don't think either of them are applicable this time. The launch is just around the corner, so you can't put us in."

Well, you're right.

Even if you had enough time, you wouldn't want to include a character that was taken from a celebrity as soon as you released a game that seemed to have worked so hard to create a worldview.

'...wait.'

……Isn't it possible to reverse this?

"How about this?"

"What?"

"Don't ask us to include our characters, but let's pick and use our characters."

“……??”

I pointed at the smartphone with my finger.

"Why don't we pick the game characters that look the most like us and pick a sub-song with them?"

“……!”

"It's not a title song, so it doesn't matter if you can't get on the air, and it's a big deal if you just attack cable and WeTube."

Well-made game IP, I meant to just suck it up with our worldview.

* * *

"Are you asking for a list of your fellow characters?"

"Yes."

"Uh……."

The people of the game company who met again seemed embarrassed by the sudden suggestion.

They exchanged glances, and answered in a slightly reluctant voice.

"Well… we do have a peer character selection system to generate revenue."

"Yes."

"Well, the elements are all random……?”

“……!!”

It was to pick randomly generated characters.

"But I saw an illustration.”

"That's the cartoon rendering... Well, anyway, you can think of it as a random thing!"

“…….”

I didn't expect to get stuck here.

Then, Kim Rae-bin raised his hand.

"…So the colleagues that Cha Yu-jin wrote are not fixed and their names change every time?”“……!!”

"I have to make the main character explore Seoul alone... Haha."

The people sitting in front laughed, saying they were the only fixed colleagues.

"I don't want to die...….”

Cha Yu-jin became depressed rapidly. It seemed to have grown attached to him.

And I realized.

'……? Then can't we just use them?"

When I turned my head, everyone except Cha Yoo-jin had the idea.

'...just happened to be seven.’

Thanks to this game and party consisting of four people, eight people, including the main character, have fixed the number of tutorials.

Ryu Chung-woo carefully brought it up.

"…can we use those friends?”

"Oh, what?

"Oh, I mean... We're going to play their roles and make a song and a performance.”

“…….”

"You might not like it."’

If you got a collaboration call in a hurry, you might say you don't want to get involved like this.

"Then calmly talk about BGM...….”

"Oh my!"

“……?”

"I love it!"

“…!!”

"If we have time and budget, we want to do such a project!"

Following the excited woman, the man shouted with his fists clenched.

"I can't believe they're coming out in 3D...!”

“…….”

I'm glad we're on the same page.

Surprisingly, the collaboration is likely to go smoothly.
