Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"But I want half."

"……half?"

"Yes, after you debut, you'll have to give me half of all the money you earn, that is, a 50/50 split."

After making his request, even Kuroba Akira himself couldn't help but sigh: I'm so wicked.

They actually made outrageous demands during the period when the other party was at its weakest, asking for half of the profits.

Isn't it just a simple development game to train an SSS-level ultimate beautiful girl to become a star?

Looks like it won't be long before I can enjoy a life of leisure!

"..."

The girl with long black hair didn't feel moved at all after hearing this.

Instead, I felt a little disheartened.

I see……

So that's what he meant by "half".

"Is money... really that important?"

"Of course it's important. Think about it, if you had money, would you still need to wait here pitifully to be picked up by someone?"

"..."

"To be honest, even if you were really going to sell your body, I wouldn't have the money to buy you. I don't have a single penny on me."

"..."

At this moment, the girl knew that the boy in front of her was an extremely superficial guy.

But it was he who reached out his hand to her... and she was even moved.

"Okay, you've convinced me. This is the first time I've had such a clear understanding of my future."

"So you mean?"

"I can share half with you."

"Is there a 'but' after this?"

"But I need to confirm one thing first... You just asked me what the goal is, right?"

“I did ask.”

"So... what if I said I want to be the queen of the entertainment industry?"

"If you're really willing to go all the way down this path, then I'll naturally accompany you to the very end."

Such beautiful and plump thighs, of course I have to hug them tightly! Never let go!

"Okay, let's exchange."

"exchange?"

"Since you asked me to give up half of my life, then you should also give me something in exchange."

"Uh……"

So it seems you can't get something for nothing after all... But I really have nothing.

Kuroba Akira originally intended to turn his pants pocket inside out to show her, but he stopped himself because there was a very important and ominous item inside.

We can't exactly exchange the class monitor's underwear for his...

Fortunately, the girl with long, straight black hair gave Kuroba Akira a way out first.

"That bottle of milk will do."

"Oh? This one?"

Kuroba Akira picked up a handful of milk with a look of surprise. Kuroba, who was licking his fur, also meowed when he heard that the milk was about to change hands.

The girl simply nodded silently.

"Okay, that will do."

"..."

Kuroba Akira realized that the girl might just want a formality.

Say goodbye to the past.

Anyway, I got this bottle of milk for free from the class monitor. Although I originally planned to give it to Kuroo, it doesn't matter if I give it to her now.

"Give."

Hei Yuming handed over the bottle of milk that was still warm in his hand, and the girl with long black hair took it with her right hand.

But just as Kuroba Akira was about to let go, the girl pressed down on his right hand with her outstretched left hand.

"Okay...I did get it."

She spoke in a sacred tone, as if making a vow.

"In exchange, you can turn me into whatever you want. I will unconditionally follow your arrangements, and my future will be customized by you."

After saying this, the girl let go of Hei Yuming's hand, and in his astonished gaze, she showed him a beautiful smile that would be engraved in his memory for a lifetime.

"From now on, I'm yours."

Is Chapter Eighteen a virgin?

Kuroba Akira stared intently at her face, when the girl waved her finger in front of him, summoning his wandering soul back.

"Stunned?"

"Um……"

Kuroba, who had just come to his senses, was clearly a little embarrassed. With his rich experience, it was unbelievable that he would be distracted, and that he would only be looking at a face without seeing anything else.

It can only be said that this natural purity, like that of a lily, can only be exuded by beautiful girls in their student days, and is something that older women who have become glamorous and commercialized cannot compare to.

No wonder men like young women; they want to recapture their lost youth.

Kuroba Akira was not ashamed of his lapse in composure, nor did he try to change the subject. Instead, he openly admitted that he was indeed engrossed in watching.

"I was truly stunned. Indeed, for beautiful women, a smile is the greatest weapon, especially for someone like you who usually maintains a cool and aloof demeanor. That contrast, like snow melting away, leaves a very deep impression. You are truly stunning. If I hadn't been so stunned, I would definitely have taken a picture with my phone and used it as my wallpaper."

"Um... thank you?"

Being praised so directly and lavishly, the girl didn't know how to respond. In the end, she thought of thanking him first, but she even sang off-key. She was even more nervous than Kuroba Akira, the one who was praising her.

Akira Kuroba was quite surprised by her unnatural reaction.

"You must have heard people compliment your appearance quite often, so why are you still so shy?"

The girl looked away and whispered.

"It's not like I rarely smile in front of others... and people don't comment on others' appearance directly like you do."

"I see."

If you think about it carefully, it seems that under normal circumstances, very few people would directly compliment the other person's appearance. At most, they would use the word "beautiful" to summarize, which is more like a polite address.

Because people don't directly reveal their intention to get close to beautiful women, nor do they express it so directly; instead, they use euphemisms.

For example, even when both are compliments on appearance, you can say "You are so beautiful" or "You look great today, you look even more beautiful."

Both statements actually imply the intention of "I want to get close to you because you are beautiful," but the former's intention is more obvious and may even be seen as that of a scoundrel.

Countless people will praise her in the future, but we can't let her be drowned in praise, lose herself, and ultimately be ruined by excessive compliments.

"You need to get used to accepting praise from others, and also try to discern the meaning behind those compliments. Some people praise you, but that doesn't necessarily mean they like or appreciate you."

"I know that too... I'll get used to it."

"That's good. But I was stunned just now partly because of what you said. At first glance, I thought it was a confession."

Hei Yuming scratched his head. He was certainly not so narcissistic as to think that the girl in front of him fell in love with him so quickly.

Previously, the class monitor also said some things that could be misunderstood as 'she likes me,' which makes me sigh that high school girls nowadays speak too ambiguously.

The girl with long, straight black hair lowered her head and remained silent.

Whether those words were a confession or not, even she herself didn't know.

But she was certain that those were her true feelings.

I have never revealed my true feelings to anyone before, not even to my family.

Then she realized how terrible her words were.

You can make me whatever you want...

I am yours...

Ah ah ah ah ah!

What did I just say?!

The girl screamed inwardly, but on the surface, she did her best to maintain a poker face, and her acting skills were still improving.

After forcibly maintaining a cool and aloof expression, she complained.

"Didn't you say the same thing that caused misunderstanding?"

"Ah? Oh, you mean the phrase about sharing your life in half?"

"Ah."

That sounds exactly like a marriage proposal!

Anyone who hears this will misunderstand!

Isn't half of my life about wanting to spend it with you?

The girl with long, straight black hair kept her expression unchanged while mentally ranting, her acting skills improving rapidly.

Kuroba Akira explained in a very serious manner.

"That's no exaggeration. When you decide to entrust your future to me, I become your producer. You could say that I decide how you plan your future career, and that takes up a large part of your life."

“Producer…”
