Anime Heart

The same applies to Keiko Aota.

Regarding their idea, Yu Ma Xian Dong offered a reason for persuasion: "Since you don't want me to treat you, then let's split the bill. In that case, would you like to come?"

"It's a rare opportunity. There were no gatherings during the summer vacation, so now is the perfect time."

Ma Xiandong's persuasion was quite effective, and the two of them clearly relented.

Even so, Ryota Watari still complained, "It's your fault for never being home during summer vacation. Even when you are home, you just stay at home and don't go out. Do you think we don't want to get together?"

"I'm so sorry!!" Arima Kento quickly lowered his head and apologized.

Now that everyone has agreed, we need to consider which beach to go to.

However, there was still plenty of time, so everyone went home first and would contact each other by phone later.

Back home, Ayako, Kousei, and Tsubaki started discussing where they should go.

Arima Xiandong poured a drink for each of the three of them, then took his phone and went back to his room.

He didn't participate in Ako's discussion because he needed to call some people over.

Arima Kento's social circle is both very large and very small. He knows many people, and many people go out of their way to curry favor with him.

That's why he seems to have a large social circle.

However, I have very few true friends. Apart from my close friends, I only have those I met through casual acquaintances.

Izumi Masamune, Izumi Sagiri, Senjumura Sei, Takasago Tomoe, etc.

So what he needs to do now is invite Izumi Masamune and the others.

Also, he hadn't had a face-to-face conversation with Izumi Sagiri in a long time, so this was a good opportunity.

Because Izumi Sagiri was very invested in Date A Live, even though her brother's story had already been written, she still hadn't started drawing illustrations for her beloved brother.

Furthermore, she can draw many illustrations perfectly, so much so that even the original author, Arima Kento, cannot find fault with them.

For this reason, his communication with Izumi Sagiri was always done through online software.

As a light novel creator, I feel somewhat guilty for not being able to communicate face-to-face with the illustrators who create illustrations for my work.

Taking out his phone, Arima Kento dialed Izumi Masamune's number.

"Yes, that's right. Ah! It's so good that Izumi-sensei has time! The location hasn't been decided yet, we can all discuss it."

Okay! I'll contact you by phone later.

Arima Kento hung up the phone. Izumi Masamune's school was in a similar situation, so he had nothing to do at the moment and could go to the beach for a vacation.

Izumi Sagiri, Senju Muramasa, Takasago Chie, and Arima Kenji were all asked by Izumi Masamune.

The reason he didn't ask in person was because he had more important things to do.

What follows is not only important, but also somewhat difficult.

Because Ma Xiandong wanted to invite his girlfriends to go to the beach together.

This time, Arima Kento's actions have backfired spectacularly, setting off a true battleground.

Actually, even if he hadn't made things clear to those girls, there would still have been some awkward situations, but it definitely wouldn't have been too serious.

However, there are no "what ifs," and Arima Sen-dong has already made things clear to those girls.

Moreover, they have all agreed to be Arima Kenji's girlfriends.

Megumi Kanno, Eriri Sawamura, Elf Yamada, and Aya Arima.

Having figured things out, he knew that if he didn't take the initiative to let the girls try to get to know each other, his life would definitely be miserable in the future.

Like the protagonist in a certain movie, living in ancient times, he married two wives, then spent his days running between them, eventually dying from exhaustion...

It's a bit serious, but if Ma Xiandong doesn't change the current situation, his future will definitely be even more exhausting than the protagonist in that movie.

Although it's suicidal, if it succeeds, it could become a real-life depiction of a fantasy novel like "Arima Kento's Happy Life".

Having made up his mind, Arima Kento opened his phone's call interface, pulled up Kanno Megumi's phone number, and dialed it.

Megumi Kamino readily agreed.

Then came Eriri's phone call.

Eriri agreed in a rather tsundere manner.

Finally, there was Yamada Elf's phone call.

Yamada Fairy calmly agreed.

Then, "Will they come this time?" Yamada Fairy asked calmly.

“Xiao Xun won’t be coming, but everyone else will,” Yu Ma Xian Dong replied.

"I see! It seems Arima-kun wants to go all out! Well then, I'll reluctantly agree."

Chapter 269 Kissing Between Girls (Daily request for votes and subscriptions!)

On September 23, Arima Kento and others gathered in front of the platform at Tokyo Station, waiting for the train they were about to board to arrive.

Over the past two days, they finally decided on their destination: a beach on the west side of Hokkaido.

The only reason for choosing that place is that Hokkaido has the best beach environment and the most beautiful scenery.

When we go out together, if we don't choose some beautiful places, are we going to wander around in scenic spots that reek of stench?

Furthermore, a beautiful environment can improve one's mood, making it easier to get through challenging situations.

Just like now, Ma Xiandong is standing silently in the middle of the crowd, not daring to say a word.

The situation was similar to that of the sports meet last semester, with four girls standing on either side of Arima Kenjiro, while the others stood aside watching the show.

What's a little puzzling is that Ako, Megumi Kanno, and Eriri were standing on one side, chatting and laughing. Meanwhile, Yamada Elf was standing alone on the other side of Arima Kenji, carrying a small bag.

This situation is as if Yamada Elf has been isolated.

Upon seeing this, Arima Kento couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Yamada Elf, as he couldn't bear to see the girl all alone, looking so lonely and empty.

He could understand this situation; Ako acted as a bond, connecting Megumi Kanno and Eriri.

Eriri and Ako have a good relationship, and Megumi Kanno feels sorry for Ako. Correspondingly, the three of them can chat about Ako herself or Arima Kento.

If girls can share common topics, then it's only natural for their feelings for each other to deepen.

Yamada Elf, on the other hand, had previously annoyed Ako, and Ako's attitude towards her was not very good as a result.

Needless to say, Eriri, how could two tsundere types possibly get along well?

On the contrary, Megumi Kanno had no prejudice. She wanted to integrate Yamada Elf into Arima Kento's 'harem' group, but she didn't know how to help.

For these reasons, it's understandable that Yamada Elf seems out of place among the other three.

That's why Arima Kento wanted to chat with Yamada Elf.

She was also his girlfriend, and making Yamada Elf happy was his most basic responsibility as her boyfriend.

Arima Kento approached Yamada Elf and whispered in the girl's ear, "Emily, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this nickname reserved only for the two of them, Yamada Elf blushed instantly. She glanced around furtively before replying, "Didn't I say you could only call me that when it's just the two of us? Why are you like this~"

"It's okay, no one else can hear us, we're just speaking quietly."

Arima Kento explained briefly, and he subconsciously reached out and took Yamada Elf's small hand.

"So can you tell me what you were thinking just now?"

With Arima Kenji holding her hand, all of Yamada Elf's previous resentment vanished.

A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, and Yamada Elf unconsciously revealed a sweet smile as she answered Arima Kento's question.

"I brought three swimsuits. I'm thinking about which one to wear first after deciding where I'm going. By the way, do you think it's better to be conservative or daring?"

Upon hearing this, Arima Kento released Yamada Elf's hand, raised his hand and slapped the girl on the head, saying, "Is it appropriate to say this in a public place?"

"Also, by the time we get there it will be almost afternoon. How long can we play then? Any swimsuit will do."

"Besides," Arima Kento whispered into Yamada Elf's ear, "I've already seen you naked, so I'm not even looking forward to seeing you in a swimsuit anymore..."

"Ouch...it hurts!!"

As soon as Arima Xian Dong finished speaking, Yamada Fairy grabbed his waist and pinched it hard.

"You bastard! Aren't you even worse than me? Saying that in a situation like this! And saying something like you don't even look forward to seeing other people's swimsuits is so outrageous, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

At this moment, Yamada Elf no longer cared about whether there were people around; she just wanted to pinch Arima Kento hard so that he would change what he had just said.

Now, Yako and the other two could no longer pretend they didn't see it.

They noticed when Ma Xiandong was talking to Yamada Elf, but they didn't expose him.

They didn't know what the two were talking about, but they couldn't bear to see Arima Kento being bullied like this, especially Ako, who didn't want to see such a situation.

So she went to Arima Kento first, pulled Yamada Elf aside, stood in front of Arima Kento, and glared at Yamada Elf angrily, saying, "What are you trying to do, you woman!"

Even clay figures have a bit of temper...

Yamada Elf felt that it wasn't her fault to begin with, so she naturally wouldn't back down and glared angrily at Ako.

Upon seeing this, Ma Xiandong immediately exclaimed, "This is bad!" This was the last thing he wanted to see.

People around them cast curious glances, but fortunately Kousei and Izumi Masamune shielded them a little, otherwise, they would have been watched like monkeys.

Arima Kento also knew that he had to get Ayako and Yamada Elf to stop immediately.

So he let go of Eriri and Megumi, telling the two girls to stand aside and not join the 'battle'.

Then, he went up to the two girls who were glaring at each other, intending to stop their behavior.

But the state of the two at this moment surprised Arima Kento.

They were about the same height, and because they were looking at each other, their faces got closer and closer, until their lips were only a few centimeters apart.

Upon seeing this, Arima Xiandong suddenly thought of a good idea.

He quietly reached out and placed his hands on the back of each of the two girls' heads, gently stroking them.

This action went unnoticed by the girls, because Ma Xiandong often used this head-patting technique on them, so they were used to it.

Immediately afterwards, Arima Kento exerted a slight force with both hands.
