Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Unaware of her carefree nature, she was now being targeted by the two most formidable women around Kuroba Akira.

Chapter 307 I Want Both

"Well then, the real orange match is this Friday. Makoto and I will be going to watch it together. Class president, do you want to come with us?"

“I’m glad you didn’t forget to invite me this time, but considering that I wouldn’t be of any help and might even ruin your plans, I’d rather not go.”

Although Hitomi Anri was somewhat dissatisfied with Makoto Hikawa's 'overstepping', she could still distinguish between what was important and what was not. If she went along, it might very well lead the original plan astray, so in the end she shook her head and refused.

"Alright then, wait for my good news later. If everything goes smoothly, the personnel problem in the Literature and Art Department can also be solved."

With the weekend report finished, Kuroba Akira felt a sense of relief. It seems that not only does being in debt make people feel pressured, but doing something wrong also makes people feel guilty.

Hitomi Anri, who can forgive and comfort Akira Kuroba, and Shion Murasomiya, who can restrain and punish Akira Kuroba, are like angels and devils. One plays the good cop and the other the bad cop, and they can always get Akira Kuroba back to the right path... not the right path, but back to the right side of the main wife.

After this incident, Kuroba Akira will become more cautious. Although he may still act recklessly in the future, since accidents can happen, he will definitely keep the class president and Shion in his heart and will not dare to have an affair with both his body and mind.

After recounting what happened to Akira Kuroba, Hitomi Anri also mentioned the idea she had come up with over the weekend.

"Oh, right, Mingjun, about the short comic story competition you proposed earlier..."

"Oh? Class monitor, you already have an idea?"

"I have a preliminary idea. Over the weekend, I met with Xia and we talked about her thoughts on swimming and her experience joining the swimming club..."

"So, class monitor, are you planning to create a story related to swimming?"

Akira Kuroba searched his mind and could only think of manga like Free, which uses swimming as a theme to promote gay relationships, or borderline manga like Healthy Nude Swimming Club, which sells fan service. These were all moderately famous works and not considered very popular.

Furthermore, although Aizen Moe is a female illustrator, she is surprisingly not very good at drawing men, probably because she has no interest in pineapples.

While the diving manga Grand Blue is quite popular, diving is just an extra element in the story, not even the main plot. The story of Grand Blue is interesting because of the author's depiction of college life (drink this cup of water of life!), the exaggerated facial expressions, and the various unexpected developments, twists, and misunderstandings.

There are indeed manga that focus on the theme of diving, such as Umi no Shoujo, which focuses on the visual impact of the beautiful scenery in the ocean, and there are also light yuri stories... However, these require a very high level of drawing skills, especially the background. Even if you are a talented artist like Aizono Moe, it would be difficult to draw the kind of underwater scenery that can give people a sense of awe if you don't have actual diving experience.

While racing and road cycling might be able to convey a sense of speed through lines, swimming is really difficult to draw impressive storyboards.

All I can say is that Akira Kuroba doesn't think this is a good direction.

After learning about it in person, Anri Hitomi expressed the same opinion.

"No, after actually learning more about it, I found it difficult to come up with any interesting stories about swimming. Xia is just doing swimming training day after day, and there's absolutely nothing interesting about it..."

"I knew it..."

"But I found that racing swimsuits are really good-looking and very emotional."

Indeed, racing swimsuits are a unique type of clothing that can be labeled with its own brand, and they are very popular among gentlemen.

Because the tight-fitting design accentuates curves, the smooth fabric evokes a sense of wonder, and the high slit is the finishing touch, it is a sportswear that can rival gymnastics outfits.

Kuroba Akira also crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.

"That's true, but that's such a 'manly' thought..."

"So I thought, let's just keep this and design a 'completely new sport'."

"Oh? Are you going to do a fictional sports event?"

It seems the class monitor has simply broken free of conventional thinking and is exploring other possibilities.

"That's right, since it's already a comic book, a little exaggeration is acceptable, right?"

"That's true, but as I said before, if it's a niche sport, we need to explain the rules, which will take up a lot of space. If it's too complicated, it won't be easy for readers to understand. If it's a fictional sport, then the situation is even more serious..."

“I know, I’ve thought about this before, so I was thinking of ‘borrowing’ from existing sports to give people a similar sense of familiarity.”

"Hmm, it seems you've thought this through thoroughly, class monitor. So, what kind of fictional sport is it?"

"Since we're going to wear swimwear, it has to be related to water, but not underwater or in the water, but rather on the water."

"Oh! Water sports!"

"That's right. Set up a floating platform on the water and let the two wrestlers fight on the platform. If they fall into the water, they lose, just like sumo wrestling."

"I see."

"But that's not interesting enough. We need to add other 'rules and restrictions.' My initial idea was to have swimsuits that become transparent when wet, so that the two contestants could splash each other with water, and the one whose swimsuit had more transparent areas would lose..."

"...!"

My god... a genius!

Class monitor, you're a genius!

This sounds so perfect!

"But then I thought about it again and felt that this would easily be referred to as a tug-of-war, and it might also require both sides to be armed with water guns or water balloons, which would make it more complicated. Moreover, the shots of long-range attacks might not be 'shocking' enough, so I gave up the idea."

They gave up... What a pity...

Kuroba Akira thought this swimsuit transparent duel was quite interesting, like a prank event in a variety show. Although it might be considered to be on the edge of the line in shonen manga, there are still manga that focus on eroticism.

Although such comics can quickly lead to visual fatigue and become unappealing due to weak stories, short comics do not have this problem.

"Then I thought, since we're borrowing from sumo wrestling, let's set simpler restrictions. In sumo wrestling, besides the rule that you lose if you go out of the ring, there's also the strict rule that your body above the knees can't touch the ground, right?"

"Yes, that's why most sumo wrestlers try to eat themselves into a triangular shape to make their lower body more stable."

“That’s right, so I thought I’d also come up with a similar, simpler restriction, like… only allowing the use of ‘female-specific body parts’ in combat.”

"ah……?!"

Anri Hitomi thought that Kuroba Akira hadn't understood, so she got up, patted her chest, and then turned around and stuck out her pert buttocks.

"In other words, we can only use this place to engage in 'collision' combat, and we can't use our hands, feet, or head. Doesn't that make things much simpler?"

"...!"

This...this is Keijo!

Kuroba Akira had read this manga. At first, he was quite smug, but later he inexplicably became a bit excited.

The key is that it's incredibly sensational!

What a brilliant idea!

You should know that the class monitor came up with this 'unconventional' idea on her own; it was her own creation!

If Kuroba Akira were to start from scratch, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with a better way to combine serene and competitive elements, but the class president did it!

As expected of the class monitor, who is indeed a bit of a brooding person, he really knows how to 'play'!

"That would emphasize close-quarters combat, and close-ups would allow us to depict some eye-catching parts. I think the feeling of compression and deformation would be 'very appealing.' What do you think, Mingjun?"

Although Anri Hitomi appeared very composed when explaining her concept, she was still a little shy inside. After all, it was a somewhat lewd fictional sport, and it might make Kuroba Akira think she was a very lewd woman...

However, when she thought about how she and Kuroba Akira had left their youthful marks in various places at school, she felt that this level of flirting wasn't such a big deal, since they were serious about it.

Kuroba Akira clapped his hands excitedly after hearing this.

"That's really good...it's a great idea! I think it's fantastic! If Moe were to draw it, she could probably create amazing comics!"

Seeing Kuroba Akira's excited expression of agreement, Anri Hitomi was also happy to receive his approval, but she still spoke modestly.

"It's alright. In the end, it's up to Momo to decide what to draw, and it also depends on the story that Shiori comes up with, right?"

"Indeed, but the idea itself is already amazing! I can already come up with all sorts of interesting storyboards!"

Although Akira Kuroba doesn't quite remember what the story of Keijo was about, nor what the specific storyboards looked like, none of that matters. This idea is enough for Akira Kuroba to go all out and create a 'wave-off'!

"Hehe, to gain your approval, wise ruler, I have already achieved the goal I set for myself. Even if my idea is not selected in the end, I will still be very satisfied."

Originally, Hitomi Anri planned to be the 'stepping stone' for Shiori Shirai this time, because for Moe Aizono, creating a manga based on a story conceived by her best friend is a very meaningful thing, and the reverse is also true.

There's no need to create a rift between them just to show off; it's more beneficial for me to keep them together.

Since both of them have fallen in love with Kuroba Akira, they will definitely consider each other's feelings, thus creating a balanced situation, just like with herself and Murasaki no Miyako Shion.

This is also why Hitomi Anri deliberately took an unconventional approach and came up with this unorthodox idea. She knew that given Shiori Shirai's personality, she would definitely create a work based on traditional sports and win the competition fairly and squarely.

Without knowing which sport she will choose for her creation, it would be very awkward if there were a 'theme clash' situation, putting Mengmeng in a dilemma. Therefore, a fictional sport is the best option.

Even if I'm not chosen by others, it won't be because my story isn't as good as Shiori's; it'll just be because the subject matter isn't suitable. It's a way to save face for both sides.

Hitomi Anri perfectly resolved the female-female competition challenge posed by Akira Kuroba.

And that's not all...

With a seductive expression, Anri Hitomi leaned close to Kuroba Akira's ear and said sweetly.

"Furthermore, if Your Majesty wishes to see... I can put on a similar contest with that woman right in front of you, you know?"

"Well……!"

Kuroba Akira felt his blood surging just from thinking about it for a moment.

It's really strong!

Isn't this gentlemanly duel much more interesting than slapping and hair-pulling?

I love watching women fight! .jpg

It turns out that Hitomi Anri started from her own perspective, projecting herself into the situation and viewing Shion Murasomiya as her rival, which is why she was able to come up with this idea.

Because in terms of cup size, Shion is weaker than the class president.

In other words, this is a competition that favors Hitomi Anri.

Even in this fictional contest, the cunning Anri Hitomi still manages to outmaneuver Murasaki no Miyako Shion... It's clear that in her eyes, only Murasaki no Miyako Shion can be considered a real threat.

However, this reminded Kuroba Akira of the plot of "underdogs overthrowing their superiors". You could set the protagonist of this story as a flat-chested princess who climbs to the top of Keijo in a world full of tyrants... Wouldn't that be pretty exciting!

"Hmm...an inspiration has struck! Great idea! Class monitor! I'm approving this concept!"

"Well, then we'll see how things go on Shiori's side... But it's not surprising that she can't figure it out, considering it's only been a week."

"Yes, and Shiori must be taking this competition very seriously, but the more she takes it seriously, the higher her expectations become. I hope she doesn't get stuck in a creative rut..."

"Ask her about the progress after class this afternoon. If Shiori hasn't figured it out yet, Akira, don't tell her that I've already come up with a plan."

"Okay, class monitor, you're really kind..."

Anri Hitomi responded with a smile.

"After all, Shiori and Momo are also my important friends."

However, their worries were obviously unnecessary, because when it was time for the Literature Club's activities after school, Shirai Shiori stormed in and threw a handwritten story outline at Kuroba Akira.
