"Hello!" Michiru Hyodo responded energetically, "Eh, Allen, what's going on?"

"Hmm?" Aki Tomoya looked puzzled. "I already explained it before, didn't I? I wanted you to meet everyone and get acquainted with them as the music director."

"Alan?" Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "What a natural-sounding nickname that's been used to since childhood. It doesn't feel as forced or frivolous as 'Rintoki-kun' at all..."

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha almost kicked the floorboards to pieces.

"Alan~" Michiru Hyodo locked her arms around Tomoya Aki's neck again, "What kind of music director are you? Don't make decisions so casually!"

"Um... let go... stop it!" Aki Tomoya's face was flushed red as he bumped the back of his head again!

"So," Kobayashi Sora realized an important problem, "you haven't gotten Hyodo's permission yet?"

Aki Tomoya stammered, "Ah... well... but her music is really amazing!"

Kobayashi Sora: "......" You're doing it again, aren't you?

However, as previously agreed, the selection of club members was indeed the responsibility of Aki Tomoya.

It's a good thing that he's now diligently fulfilling his duties.

The problem is that Kobayashi Sora had already made preparations in terms of music, but now suddenly someone with connections has appeared.

However, there's no need to refuse outright; being too blunt would only make everyone feel awkward.

“Alright then,” Kobayashi Sora smiled. “You and your cousin can talk about what we’re doing, and share the piece of music with her. After everyone discusses it, we can decide on our next steps.”

"Ah! I see." Michiru Hyoudou belatedly realized, "You guys are all otaku, aren't you?"

Chapter 204 A Very Harmful Chapter

"Hmm?" Eriri was particularly sensitive to this statement.

“Alan said he was going to introduce me to new friends, and I thought he had finally graduated from being an otaku and made new friends.” Michiru Hyoudo scratched her head. “Turns out my friend is also an otaku.”

Ah~ Kobayashi Sora's eyes narrowed slightly. This was such a standard statement; what followed should be...

Aki Tomoya helplessly pushed Hyodo Michiru away, "Leave me alone."

"Aren~" Michiru Hyodo resisted Tomoya Aki's resistance, "Don't always stay at home watching anime and playing video games~ Go outside more and interact with people more!"

"No way—uh!" Aki Tomoya was only halfway through his sentence when he was subdued by Hyodo Michiru's tackle.

Michiru Hyodo skillfully locked onto Tomoya Aki, saying, "It's because you're an otaku that no girl likes you."

Kato Megumi looked at Eriri, while Kobayashi Sora looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"What are you looking at?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glared coldly at Kobayashi Sora.

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Aki Tomoya retorted with difficulty, "This has nothing to do with otaku! You're not an otaku, but you still don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

"Why...why do you know?"

"You could have guessed it from the moment you started staying at a boy's house who was the same age as you!"

"Ugh, you're so annoying~~ That can't be compared to this! Besides, I'm so obsessed with bands that I don't even feel anything for romance right now."

"Me too. I'm so obsessed with otaku activities that I'm completely oblivious to the real world..."

"Ew~~ What a waste, youth only comes once." Michiru Hyodo leaned close to Tomoya Aki's ear, "How about I introduce you to some girls in the group? As long as you're willing to leave the otaku circle."

"Didn't you just say that you're so obsessed with bands that you have no feelings for romance at all?" Aki Tomoya realized the key point. "Aren't the other band members the same?"

So... Kobayashi Sora was looking at the screen.

Does Aki Tomoya really not plan to pay attention to this side?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's spiritual pressure is about to reach Bankai.

"A band?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, her smile gentle.

If she saw that kind of smile... Eriri instinctively became more alert.

“Ah,” Michiru Hyodo released Tomoya Aki, “I started practicing in the band after entering high school.”

“Because of the school’s anniversary celebration, people from a certain livehouse saw their performance and invited them to sing there,” Aki Tomoya added. “But my uncle rejected it—which just shows how strong her musical talent really is!”

"So, in other words..." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, "the woman behind you who is so prejudiced against otaku has not learned the spirit of otaku who only devote time to their hobbies after fulfilling their obligations. Instead, she skipped school, ran away from home, and caused trouble for her parents?"

Aki Tomoya: "Huh?"

Massive destruction!

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

She first used a gentle approach to extract information, and then launched an attack with a sharp tongue that went straight to the heart of the matter. Eriri had often been dealt with like this by Kasumigaoka Utaha in the past, and now seeing her deal with others in this way made her feel very satisfied.

So happiness really is built on the suffering of others...etc.

Something seems off.

Was Kasumigaoka Utaha always picking on herself with this mindset?

“Wh...what?” Michiru Hyodo was stunned.

"Ultimately, you just happened to run away from home to a male relative's house, and happened to find that his upbringing was incompatible with yours, so you just happened to feel unhappy and wanted to yell and scream." Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up. "You're really immature, aren't you? You're like a distant relative who's worse than your neighbor, aren't you?"

"Hey," Michiru Hyodo hugged Tomoya Aki, "Tomoya~~ This guy is bullying me~~"

Massive destruction!

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Against an opponent like Kasumigaoka Utaha who only talks big, Hyōdō Michiru went straight for the kill, instantly neutralizing all of Utaha's attacks with point-blank contact. She deftly escaped Utaha's combo with a delicate gesture, and while making intimate contact, she displayed her dependence on Aki Tomoya, effortlessly arousing his protective instincts...

Let's leave this explanation here.

Kobayashi Sora tapped the table. "Rinya, I don't approve of forcing unwilling people into the club. This matter needs further discussion."

Eriri glanced at him sideways, "How dare you say that?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him sideways, "You've finally met your match."

You two, if you're so angry, can you please not take it out on me... Kobayashi Sora is so innocent.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Aki Tomoya frantically played some music. "Let's try this one first!"

A melody began to play; although the sound quality was average, the rich and captivating nature of the melody easily captured the listener's ears. It seemed that if one simply closed their eyes, vivid images would appear before them...

“This piece of music…” Kobayashi Sora felt a sense of familiarity mixed with unfamiliarity, like the joy of seeing an old friend after a long time. “It’s really wonderful.”

Eriri opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

She seems very quiet today.

"Right!" Aki Tomoya's eyes widened excitedly. "You'll understand once you've heard it!"

“That’s true…” Kobayashi Sora pointed out the crux of the problem, “Hyoudo has a band to keep up with and family matters to attend to. He has limited understanding of otaku culture. Although he really wants such a great melody, he still needs to consider the specific circumstances.”

“Okay,” Kobayashi Sora made up her mind, “I will do my best to help, in exchange for which you, Hyodo-kun, will help us with some background music without affecting the band’s activities. Of course, we can discuss the payment later.”

Although Aki Tomoya has some personality flaws, he still has the ability to appreciate games as a well-known gaming blogger.

Michiru Hyodo's musical style is indeed very suitable for games.

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly, glanced at Kobayashi Sora, and pursed her lips.

She was annoyed, but she wouldn't say anything that disregarded the atmosphere at that moment.

"I...I...said...I...have...no...interest...in otaku activities!" Michiru Hyodou drawled. "In the end, you're the ones who caused Alan to become like this, aren't you? What kind of club is this? You're really doing a lot of harm..."

“Ah…” Kato Megumi let out a short sound.

If Michiru Hyodo had phrased it a little more tactfully, Sora Kobayashi wouldn't have pressed the issue.

But if you say something like that, then...

Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a kind smile.

That's how it'll turn out... Kato Megumi sighed inwardly.

Chapter 205 What I Miss

“Since Hyodo-kun has said so, there’s no need to force it.” Kobayashi Sora chuckled. “But the music is really good. Tomoya, send me a copy later.”

"Oh! Okay..." Aki Tomoya had barely finished answering when he was stopped again by Hyodo Michiru. "I...I..."

"You two have a good talk, and we'll chat again later." After receiving a reluctant reply from Aki Tomoya, Kobayashi Sora ended the video call.

"Eh..." Eriri had barely uttered a sound when the video call ended.

Kobayashi Sora turned her head. "What's wrong?"

"No..." Eriri turned her head, "It's nothing..."

Anyway, he's just a fake childhood sweetheart, so why should he care what others do?

Right now, finishing the game is the primary objective.

"Eri-ri," Kato Megumi said, "would you like lemon black tea?"

Eriri: "Yes!"

-

After the video call ended, Aki Tomoya was finally freed from his predicament.

Ah... he suddenly realized something.

I forgot to ask, why are Eriri and Senpai both at Kobayashi Sora's house?

It's not that they're making a game, but...

After the doujinshi convention, Aki Tomoya basically stopped talking to Eriri.

Well, it's normal to encounter problems in the creative process.

I just hope we can continue making games.

But senior...

After the new book was released, Aki Tomoya read it many times.
