BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14 Backstory Time-
Right then the doorbell rang-
It was our pizza.
We took a break from the game while things had become much, much more awkward between all of us.
Although I feel like Alexandra should be excluded from \'all of us\'
it seemed like she couldn\'t either read the mood or was just trying to make things less awkward-
although I doubt that.
During that break, I also drew out a tip from the system.
[ TIP: BUILD YOUR OWN STUDIO AFTER BUILDING AN AUDIENCE ]
\'huh?\'
Well, it was kinda obvious, but creating a porn studio is highly competitive especially if you don\'t have enough funds.
Suddenly I caught Tanith glancing at me, and she immediately turned her head the second I looked at her.
\'Funds, Tanith can be the fund.\'
Although I didn\'t trust all of them, it was pretty obvious that almost all of them were good people.
Even if I did plan on betraying the current studio, I hardly think any one of them would sell me out heck chances are Tanith would end up joining me since she is probably either after the acknowledgment of her parents or just freedom.
Though it is bad to take advantage of someone\'s situation, it\'s not like they won\'t be profiting from it so proposed my plan, with a small nudge.
"Guys- what are you in for?" I asked before taking a bite out of the pizza.
"What?" asked Ai who put her slice down.
"I mean like why do you wanna do porn?" I said clarifying what I asked before.
"Oh- I am honestly just in it for the money- it\'s- I\'d rather not talk about my personal condition" Ai responded.
"Oh me too! though I can tell you about my personal conditions too!" said Alexandra in an excited state like a kid ready to tell a story.
"Uhh-sure go ahead," I said with a bit of hesitance because one never knows what kind of backstory might come out.
"Actually my dad died a while ago and my family is bearly able to maintain. with my third brother just being born, I wasn\'t able to help out my mom with just normal jobs so- I heard that people in this industry can make a lot of money, and basically, that\'s why I am here" said with a smile.
Wait- so her dad died a while ago and her younger brother was just born-
There seems to be an issue here but I don\'t wanna dive deeper into this sad backstory.
All of us were just silent-
"Guys, no need to be so- Tanith why do you want to join the industry!?" Alexandra said trying to divert the attention.
I suddenly felt somewhat guilty for judging her as a kid the whole time.
Guess I was wrong earlier- she is good at reading the mood.
Maintaining that cheerful outlook, under such conditions must be hard.
"I- just want to try it-" Tanith said while not meeting Alexandra\'s eyes. She probably felt guilty for being so privileged, not realizing what others were missing out on and how she had been acting the whole time.
She shook her head, and with firm resolve, inspired by Alexandra she came out clean. "I can\'t precisely tell you for now, but- it\'s mostly because of a marriage proposal I received which I am being forced to accept- I asked my parents to take time and get adjusted to living alone for six months and they agreed, and now I am doing porn to get out of it- that\'s the gist of it-"
She said with a genuine smile.
Ai and my jaws were wide open.
Tanith finally talked for long enough- with a smile and a somewhat cheerful voice!
The system should definitely give me something like an Xbox achievement for that!
[ ACHIEVEMENTS DO EXIST BUT YOU WON\'T GET ONE FOR TRIVIAL SHIT LIKE THIS ] said the AI
[ ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: GOTH GIRL WARMING I ]
[ EFFECT: AFFECTION FROM GOTH/EMO GIRLS +10% ]
[ OH! JUST KILL ME ALREADY! ] The AI responded.
I couldn\'t help but chuckle.
"What are you chuckling for?" asked Tanith
"Nothing- just didn\'t think you could speak complete sentences," I said with a teasing smile.
"How rude!" she shouted with a cheerful voice I didn\'t expect from Tanith, "But what\'s your story, Max?"
"I really don\'t- I just felt like- hey why not give this a try-" I replied hiding the fact that a magical system is currently my major driving force right now.
"Really?" Tanith asked with a hint of doubt.
"Yup- I was just your average guy who wanted to go after something unique-"
A notification on my phone caught my attention
[ Please send multiple naked pictures together, ASAP, Jonnah ]
I could only awkwardly smile while holding out my phone-
"Guys- "
