The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"What is this, Sorata?"

Before anyone knew it, Shiina Mashiro had finished drawing the third illustration in her hand, and leaned over to look at the Evangelion Unit-01 in Jiang Jing's hand, her clear and bright eyes filled with curiosity.

Because they were so close, Shiina Mashiro's breath, exhaled from her delicate nostrils, brushed against Jiang Jing's cheek, warm and carrying a faint fragrance.

"One of the comic book characters I'm planning to draw." Jiang Jing stopped drawing with satisfaction.

"Manga." Shiina Mashiro turned her head, her eyes curious as she looked at Jiang Jing: "Sorata is going to draw manga?"

Jiang Jing smiled faintly: "Didn't I write my ambition as a novelist and cartoonist?"

"By the way, Mashiro, after you finish drawing the illustrations, why don't you just turn 'Toradora!' into a manga?"

Jiang Jing suddenly thought: "Your current weakness lies in the character development and the thinness of the story. If you could draw this youth campus romance novel into a comic, it would be of great help to you in this area."

Shiina Mashiro paused, a rare hint of hesitation in her voice: "Is it okay?"

“Of course,” Jiang Jing affirmed.

“Okay.” Shiina Mashiro nodded.

The matter was decided so simply, and neither of them probably noticed that their simple conversation revealed their trust and tacit understanding.

As for copyright issues, Jiang Jing is the original author in this world. Although he has signed a contract with Dengeki Bunko, Jiang Jing is confident that he can persuade Uemura Yuriko with Shiina Mashiro's abilities.

Besides, the first volume hasn't even been published yet. Although the other party attaches great importance to it, they can't imagine how high the quality of Toradora! will be later on.

After all, the early stages of Toradora! were similar to those of other light novels that gained moderate popularity. The main exciting plot begins in the middle, focusing on the changing feelings of those who like and are liked by Takasu Ryuji and his friends as they become entangled.

"Ah... junior, wake up."

At dawn, accompanied by Misaki Kamiigusa's energetic shouts, Misaki Kamiigusa, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, descended from the sky holding a rope and jumped in through the open window overlooking the river.

It rolled once on the ground upon landing to dissipate inertia, and then landed perfectly.

"Oh, so you were sleeping here with your junior, Mashiro. No wonder I didn't see you when I went to wake you up."

On the bed, Jiang Jing was sleeping on the outer side, and Shiina Mashiro was also sleeping soundly on the upper side, facing Jiang Jing.

Last night, Shiina Mashiro felt a sense of challenge and purpose after Jiang Jing suggested that she try to adapt Toradora into a manga after finishing the illustrations. She was full of energy and kept asking Jiang Jing about various details until very late.

Jiang Jing, whose soul had just recovered and was already weak and exhausted from using his true spiritual power, didn't even know when he fell asleep.

"Good morning, senior. What's going on today? A beautiful girl fell from the sky?" Jiang Jing opened his eyes and lazily yawned.

They were already used to Misaki Kamiigusa suddenly barging in like this.

Meow……

However, on the computer desk, Hikaru, who had been woken up, expressed his dissatisfaction to Misaki Kamiigusa.

"Mashiro, get up." Jiang Jing, who had sat up, placed his hand on Shiina Mashiro's exposed shoulder and gently shook it.

When Jiang Jing chased Shangjingcao Misaki out and pulled Shiina Mashiro out of the room, Mitaka Jin, who was already having breakfast in the living room, adjusted his glasses and gave him a thumbs up.

Chihiro Sengoku, who was drinking again, just glanced up and muttered under her breath, "Damn youth."

"Think what you want." Jiang Jing shook his head indifferently, then pulled the sleepy-eyed Shiina Mashiro upstairs to change her clothes.

After spending this time together, Jiang Jing has come to regard Shiina Mashiro, who is very dependent on him, as his personal possession, and has also made taking care of her like a pet a habit.

So when Shiina Mashiro changed clothes in front of him, Jiang Jing openly admired her, watching as the girl's already developing body was slowly covered by the uniform.

"Sora, I'll do it."

After rinsing her mouth and washing her face, and combing her hair, just as Jiang Jing was about to throw her clothes into the washing machine, Shiina Mashiro eagerly took her panties and other personal belongings from Jiang Jing's hands.

"it is good"

Jiang Jing had no objection to this, having taught Shiina Mashiro many times before.

However, just as Shiina Mashiro was about to pour the whole bottle of laundry detergent in, Jiang Jing quickly called out, "Stop... just pour in a little bit of laundry detergent."

"Sora is such a hassle."

"How dare you say that? I've taught you so many times before."

"Yeah"

Snapped!

what……

Shiina Mashiro covered her forehead where she had been flicked, her little face looking aggrieved.

"Okay, after pouring in the laundry detergent, just press the automatic wash button. It will be almost done by the time we come up after breakfast."

At Sakura-sou, everyone washes their own clothes. There are separate bathrooms and washing machines on the second and first floors, and the men and women are separated. However, it seems that Mitaka Jin's clothes are all washed by Kamiigusa Misaki.

School was lively today. Thanks to Jiang Jing's care, Shiina Mashiro didn't miss much time and went to school with Kamiigusa Misaki and Mitaka Jin.

On the way, Misaki Kamiigusa, who is always full of energy like an alien, runs around, or pulls Mashiro Shiina and talks all sorts of nonsense, and Mashiro can actually keep up.

"With Shiina around and your first novel about to be published, Kanda, you're not thinking about moving out of Sakura-sou anymore, are you?" Mitaka Jin smiled as he walked alongside Jiang Jing, watching the back of Kamiigusa Misaki ahead.

“Of course, living in Sakura-sou is much more interesting than the school dormitory,” Jiang Jing said with a faint smile.

Adjusting his glasses, Mitaka Jin nodded: "I used to worry that you wouldn't be able to handle the pressure from Misaki Akasaka and Shiina, and that you would end up suffering. It seems I misjudged you."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. Normally speaking, your worries are quite valid, but..." Jiang Jing didn't say what "but" meant, but just smiled at Mitaka Jin, who was looking at him with a probing gaze.

As Jiang Jing was changing his shoes at school, he ran into Rias Himejima Akeno and Rias Himejima. Jiang Jing, who was surprised to see them, nodded to them.

Good morning, both of you.

With her long, black hair reaching her heels tied into a ponytail with two ribbons, and her hands folded and placed on her abdomen, Himejima Akeno, with an elegant demeanor like a Yamato Nadeshiko, bowed slightly and smiled.

"Good morning, Kanda-kun and Shiina-kun."

After a brief greeting, Jiang Jing took Shiina Mashiro to the art department.

"Minister, the fluctuations in the aura of light have disappeared." With a smile, she watched Jiang Jing and the other person's figures disappear before suddenly speaking.

"You sensed it too?"

Rias said in a voice only they could hear, "He must have successfully awakened."

"However, since even you and I cannot sense any energy fluctuations from him, it seems that either his awakened ability is very strong, or it is very weak and insignificant."

"My intuition tells me that the other person is the former."

Rias suppressed the yearning that welled up within her soul and said very solemnly, "I'll find some time to really get to know him and see if I can take him as my familiar."

“Okay.” Akeno Himejima, who knew Rias’s almost precognitive intuition, also became serious.

The second update is complete. Just a heads up, Rias and Akeno Himejima are second-year students. There was a bug in the previous chapter, but it has been fixed.

Also, some readers mentioned the issue of bonus chapters for rewards. I don't have any drafts saved up right now, so I'll have to wait. If I rush to write, it might fall apart.

Today is Sunday. Although the book's stats are so-so, I still want to do something. I'll update early tomorrow morning to see if it improves my ranking on the click charts. Even a struggling author like me has dreams! ^_^

Bonus chapter for the bounty

I'll also set up a bounty for extra chapters. Since I haven't had perfect attendance this month, I haven't received any bounties or anything like that. Plus, my typing speed is terrible, and I don't have many drafts saved up because I'm busy researching the plot. So, we won't set a huge bounty.

I'll be limited to three chapters a week, with an extra chapter for every 5,000 donations. My current donation count is 3264, so I'll start calculating now. I wonder if this makes me seem arrogant, and I'd be laughed at if I didn't get the extra chapter. ^_^

Chapter 29 After School

"Kanda, someone is looking for you."

During the break between the first and second periods in the morning, an excited shout drew the attention of everyone in Class 1, Grade 2 of the General Studies Department.

"Huh...?" Jiang Jing, who usually sleeps in class, looked up blankly.

At the back door of the classroom, Akeno Himejima, dressed in a light blue sleeveless jacket, white shirt, red tie, and red skirt uniform, stood elegantly with her hands on her stomach and a smile on her face.

What's most striking is her undeniable, voluptuous figure that shouldn't belong to a high school student. The already tall girl, nearly 1.7 meters, possesses breasts more magnificent than those of an adult woman and long, straight legs.

This made the surrounding male high school students both want to look and feel embarrassed, so they only dared to look secretly. Even many girls were attracted by her stunningly beautiful face that appealed to both men and women.

"Kanda-kun, could you please come out for a moment?" Himejima Akeno asked with a gentle smile, her pink lips parting slightly as she looked at the distant river view.

"Uh... is something wrong?" Jiang Jing nodded and stood up, puzzled.

After Jiang Jing and Himejima Akeno left, Class 1 of the second year instantly erupted in chaos, especially the boys, who were all excitedly discussing how Kanda, who lived in Sakura Dormitory, could know the transfer student.

"Kanda actually knows that transfer student and can go to school with Shiina from the art department every day. I'm so envious." Miyahara Daichi came to Jiang Jing's seat with a face full of jealousy, his expression exaggerated.

"What, you want to get to know them too?" For some reason, Aoyama Nanami's face turned cold as she said, "You can just go out and strike up a conversation later and you'll get to know them too."

"Ha... How could I be that kind of person?" Miyahara Daichi blushed and hurriedly denied it nervously.

"Did Himejima want to see me about something?" Jiang Jing looked at the elegant black-haired beauty in front of him with a puzzled expression as he arrived at the corner of the stairwell in the teachers' building.

Without answering Jiang Jing's question, Himejima Akeno smiled and said, "Kanda-kun, you've heard of our Mysterious Research Club, haven't you?"

“Yes, I’ve heard of it.” Jiang Jing nodded.

"Would Kanda-kun be interested in joining our Mysterious Research Club?"

As she spoke, Himejima Akeno took a half step forward, her stunningly beautiful, soft breasts almost touching Jiang Jing's arm, but just barely managing to touch him. She leaned down slightly and brought her mouth close to Jiang Jing's ear, saying mysteriously, "There are benefits after you join."

A faint fragrance wafted into Jiang Jing's nose, and because of his posture, his gaze naturally fell on the magnificent pair of breasts that were almost touching him.

Jiang Jing took a half step back and shook his head slightly: "I heard that it's hard to join your club, and I don't really like participating in club activities."

Although it wasn't said explicitly, the meaning of polite refusal was conveyed to the other party.

However, Himejima Akeno did not give up so easily. Instead, she looked at Jiang Jing with a meaningful gaze and said, "Kanda-kun, do you want to know the deeper secrets of this world, such as your power and more people like you?"

Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Jing, who knew the beautiful woman's true identity as a devil, knew that she was about to reveal her true colors.

After a brief silence, Jiang Jing's eyes flashed with wariness, and he feigned a look of shock: "How...how did you know..."

Himejima Akeno was very satisfied with Eijiro's reaction, and a charming smile appeared on her lips: "Want to know? Come to the Mysterious Research Club after school this afternoon. There you'll find everything you want to know."

"The club's address is in the old classroom building behind the gymnasium."

"Everything I want to know?" Watching Himejima Akeno's departing figure, Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

When Jiang Jing returned to the classroom as if nothing had happened, he was met with pairs of inquisitive eyes, especially from the male high school students who seemed eager to know what Himejima Akeno wanted from him and what their relationship was.

However, due to the unfamiliarity between the two parties and Jiang Jing's status as a resident of Sakura Villa, most people hesitated to approach him, but there was always one person who spoke up.

"Hey... Kanda, you bastard, tell me, how did you get to know Himejima? That's so unfair! Weren't we all supposed to be looking down on popular girls together?"

Miyahara Daichi, who was on good terms with Kanda Sorata in the class, rushed up and tried to grab Jiang Jing by the neck to make him confess, and then there was a loud thud.
