  Chapter 128. You Use Your Imagination, I Use Mine

  ---

  "President Cujoh is ing to i?!"

  In the produ team of "Battle Tendency", Akiyuki Shinbo looked at Kakyoin Ryoko with a bewildered expression.

  He repeated the words Kakyoin Ryoko had just veyed to him as if trying to see through her: "And she's ing to act as a supervisor?!!"

  "Uh... yeah..."

  What could Kakyoin Ryoko do?

  She was helpless too.

  When Cujoh Jolyne previously asked her for an analysis, Kakyoin Ryoko had goo great lengths to find a well-reasoned answer.

  She had inteo use it as a ratioo persuade Jolyo stop fixating on the number of produs and instead quickly recile Pucd Akiyuki Shinbo, the two best partners who could plement each other perfectly.

  Otherwise, their newly established Green Dolphin Studio really couldn't hahis kind of strain.

  And Jolyne's response?

  She started calg elementary sath!?

  She asked whether it was better to have 1 (Pucci) + 1 (Akiyuki Shinbo) = 1 or 1 (Pucci) + 1 (Akiyuki Shinbo) = 2?

  Although Kakyoin Ryoko could uand Jolyne's s after hearing her expnation, and she khat instead of just putting Pucd Akiyuki Shinbo together, it might be better to take a risk, separate them temporarily, ahem uand their own weaknesses while paring themselves with their previous colborative efforts to grow individually. Green Dolphin Studio's ambitions could the even higher.

  Moreover, for a studio that was just starting out and didn't want to rely on the es of the SPW Foundation or Joestar Real Estate, and Joseph's reputation to gain Johnny's support, this process of nurturing supervisors was an invaluable experience.

  But still!

  "—Jolyne, didn't you just say that you have absolute faith in Director Shinbo, that he's definitely up to the task?!"

  "—Your sudden reversal would've beeer handled by following my earlier advid bringing Director Pucci back!"

  In her heart, Kakyoin Ryoko was shouting all these thoughts, but iy, she could only manage a forced smile and say, "That's resident Cujoh said."

  "Even though Director Shinbo and the team have done an incredible job so far, President Cujoh is ed about the audience's previous pints about the "Battle Tendency" storyline. She wants to e over as a supervisor to take full responsibility so everyone else work without worries..."

  Kakyoin Ryoko tio rey the reason Cujoh Jolyne had prepared in advance.

  Since Jolyne couldn't reveal that she had a system where losing money actually made her profit—where the more she lost, the more she gained, and this method was even faster than earning mohe ventional way—

  Naturally, Jolyne had e up with a solid reason for her as.

  And as she said,

  Her role as a supervisor was really just a title without any real responsibilities.

  This wasn't because Joly guilty or had a sudden surge of kindness.

  It was simply because she cked the experiend didn't know how to be a supervisor:

  How do you ruin a produ?

  How do you ensure a show isn't well-executed?

  These were all unknowns to Jolyne.

  She wasn't pnning to mess around with things she didn't uand.

  After all, the example of Pucci was right there.

  As another newbie who didn't know much about produ, how did Pucci's first project turn out?

  It was a massive hit!

  Jolyne wasn't sure whether this strange phenomenon was due to Pucci w with Akiyuki Shinbo or if Akiyuki Shinbo's fw was that he needed a pletely clueless, disruptive supervisor t out his potential. Therefore, she wasn't going to take any risks.

  This, of course, eased the worries of Kakyoin Ryoko and Akiyuki Shinbo, who had feared that Jolyne would wreak havoc as a supervisor.

  As long as she doesn't mess things up, that's fine.

  "If Director Shinbo has heard this, I'll take my leave for now. I'll return if President Cujoh has any further instrus."

  Kakyoin Ryoko tried to reassure Shinbo, "And maybe President Cujoh is just curious to watch you work on the produ."

  Although Kakyoin Ryoko didn't know about the system, she was unaware of Jolyrue motives.

  However, she was well aware that Jolyne had been pnning to test Akiyuki Shinbo all along.

  Perhaps this art of that test.

  Maybe Jolyne had already realized that the massive iment in "Battle Tendency" made it unsuitable for testing or training supervisors.

  Even though Shinbo had ma "Battle Tendency" ba track, who's to say it won't derail again?

  In such a situation, having someone e in as a supervisor to keep an eye on things seems like a safer option.

  After all, while supervising might not be something many do without mistakes, the audience is the one who ultimately knows if a produ is good or bad.

  What Jolyne had to do was simple.

  If she, as an audience member, could be won over by the produ, why couldn't other viewers be as well?

  Just like how some games invite pyers to test them before release.

  If the game isn't fun, wouldn't the pyers know?

  Simirly, if a produ isn't good, wouldn't the audienow?

  Kakyoin's thought process led her to give Shinbo a subtle hint—

  —"Jolyne doesn't uand anything, so what else she do besides be an 'audience'?"

  Unfortunately, unlike Kakyoin Ryoko, her close friend, Akiyuki Shinbo genuinely uood Jolyne's "level."

  The ses of Zeppeli's death and Jonathan's death…

  If it weren't for Jolyne's unwavering suppiving them the fideo create and film these ses,

  Would "Phantom Blood" have had the impact it has today?

  Probably not.

  So now, not only did Shinbo pletely miss Kakyoin's hint, but he also genuinely believed that Jolyne was dissatisfied with their previous work and had e to evaluate him personally.

  As soon as Kakyoin Ryoko left,

  He immediately found Pucci, g to him, and cried out, "Director Pucci, you must help me this time!"

  "The only person who save me now is you, Director Pucci!"
