  Chapter 119. Yeah, Why is That?

  ---

  Jolyne Cujoh double-checked everything.

  She eveched "Battle Tendency". During her sed viewing, she turned on the ents and carefully read them one by orying to uand the feelings of the viewers who posted them at the time.

  She was deeply affected by how the story took such a drastic turn, and how those feelings of the audience evolved just as dramatically. These emotions were imprinted on Jolyne's mind.

  She finally realized ohing—

  This wasn't a small loss; it was a huge one!

  It was as if all the funds she had ied in "Battle Tendency" were pletely wasted!

  Amazing!!

  But...

  "How did this even end up losing money?"

  It was like the situation in "Ultraman Tiga" where the Victory Team, uo hear Yuzare's lihere's only one way to awaken the giant, and that's for Daigo to bee light," suddenly saw the statue e back to life and transform into Ultraman. They were all utterly fused.

  Jolyne Cujoh was simirly bewildered.

  Could it be that she had a special dition where anything she took seriously was destio fail, and only things she didn't take seriously, or believed impossible, would succeed?

  ...No way.

  This thought had just surfaced in Jolyne's mind before she quickly discarded it.

  How could sustific things happen?

  Besides, if she really had such bad luck, how could she have obtaihe system in the first pce?

  Looking at the system that, due to her never having lost once, was basically running but almost felt like it wasn't running at all, Jolyne Cujoh fell into deep ption.

  Si wasn't her problem, then whose was it?

  She clearly thought that Akiyuki Shinbo and his team of "tigers pretending to be pigs" were interfering with Pucci, this "sleeping dragon," thus leading to their separation.

  But why, after Pucci left Shinbo and his group, did they end up being the oo lose money first, even though they were always backstabbing her?

  "It doesn't make sense..."

  "It doesn't make sense?... Jolyne, have you finally realized that Pucci's previous budget allocation had issues?"

  Ryoko Kakyoin, who had e to remind Jolyne Kujo after seeing the budget approved by the Finance Department for Pucci's produ team, was delighted as soon as she opehe office door and heard Jolyne's mutterings.

  "It's not too te to figure this out now. Besides, Pucci still has Jotaro and the others watg over him, so they definitely get back all the money Pucci tricked you out of!"

  Just as Jolyne Cujoh believed the success of "Phantom Blood" was mainly due to the efforts of industry veterans like Akiyuki Shinbo and not the rookie director Pucci, Ryoko Kakyoin also had a moment of doubt after learning the true credentials of Shinbo and his team.

  However, since Pucci was chosen by Jolyne Cujoh, and because Pucci personally wrote the scripts for "Phantom Blood" and "Battle Tendency", proving that Jolyne's judgment was still trustworthy, Ryoko tio believe that Pucci, who had assembled the "Phantom Blood" team and managed such talented individuals, deserved signifit credit.

  ...This belief sted until Jolyne Cujoh suddenly pulled Pucci out of the team.

  Pucci was then put in charge of a new produ team separate from Shinbo's, each creating different projects.

  And after f yet another eam, Pucci kept approag Jolyne Cujoh and the Finance Department for funding, g it was o develop eology!?

  Even though Ryoko was a newer to the industry due to Jolyne's whims, even she knew about Cameron, the legendary truck driver of the industry, and why every new project of Cameron's took years, sometimes even over a decade, to plete before sweeping box office rankings worldwide.

  Because the development cycle for aeology in the industry was that long.

  Luck, skill, teology, experience, vision, intuition... all these factors were indispensable.

  Cameron could occasionally produce works incorporatieology over several years or even a decade, thanks to the special effects pany bag him.

  But even with this, the special effects pany couldn't keep up with Cameron, and after helping him rise to the top, it quickly decred bankruptcy...

  How could their Green Dolphin Studio have the resources to walk a path that even industry giants struggled to navigate?

  Moreover, based on ucci had been announg on the official at, this eology that had just started development was supposedly already maturing acc to him!?

  Wasn't this just a scam?

  Sardless of Pucci's past achievements, Ryoko had te Jolyne Kujo to see reason quickly and stop making mistakes!

  As for Jolyne Cujoh, while she was surprised by Ryoko Kakyoin's sudderance, she noticed Ryoko Kakyoin's expression and realized that she had misuood her iions.

  Jolyne Cujoh quickly dispelled her doubts about Pucd reminded herself, "Are you even human? Pucci's already a fool, and you still suspect him?"

  Then, she became fused again.

  If it wasn't her fault, and it wasn't Pucci's fault either, then why did Akiyuki Shinbo suddenly "get it"?

  Uo figure it out, with an expression that seemed to say, "I know, but I just won't ge," Jolyne Cujoh stopped Ryoko's nagging and said, "Alright, I got it, Ryoko. I uand everything you're saying, but take a look at this first—"

  "?"

  Jolyne Cujoh sent a forum link to Ryoko Kakyoin and tinued, "If you don't trust Pucci, then you expin why "Battle Tendency" was fine while he was there?"

  "Why did it suddenly bee filled with rumors and even the plot started to look like it was going to fall apart as soon as Pucci wasn't around?"

  Yeah, why is that?

  Ryoko Kakyoin fell into deep thought as she looked at the ents.
