Tokyo Soft Rice King.

It was only at this point that Mirai realized this, and she was extremely annoyed. She should have prepared a game with a lot of physical contact, like the Twister game, in advance. Akiko also secretly blamed herself for not being well prepared and for not being able to make the children closer together.

But even without board games, there are still many multiplayer games, such as King's Game... However, Akira Kuroba felt that he would definitely be targeted, so he passed on this game.

So in the afternoon, everyone played video games together again. The four of them raced a plumber's car on the same screen, while the other three played cards. Kuroba Akira taught them how to play Dou Dizhu, a game that doesn't exist in Japan. The girls had a great time.

Because Kuroba Akira is the type of player who will always call for the landlord role regardless of whether his hand is good or bad, the cooperation between the other two girls has become even more seamless, as they work together to fight against Kuroba Akira, this wicked landlord.

They played like this until dinner time. Akiko said she had ordered a cake in advance and marinated fried chicken, so they could start eating as soon as it was fried. After that, everyone would share the cake, and finally, they would distribute the gifts...

Yes, we eat the cake first, then we distribute the gifts.

Kuroba Akira, while getting to eat the cake, didn't receive any gifts.

He said it himself... but Kuroba Akira still had to participate in distributing the gifts.

Since there are no gifts, then...

You can be the gift!

Of course, it can also be 'cake'.

It was meant to be shared among everyone.

Chapter 342 Sometimes Men Also Need to Escape

Since Kuroba Akira didn't prepare a gift, let's just assume he meant 'the gift is myself~'.

So when the cake was being cut, everyone had a piece on their plate, but only Kuroba Akira didn't get one.

This definitely wasn't forgotten; it was clearly intentional.

Although he didn't really want to eat cake, the feeling of isolation, as if he had been collectively expelled, made him feel uncomfortable.

Huh? We're members of the same club, and we've worked together for over a month to complete two amazing manga manuscripts. We even have close relationships with some of them that go beyond friendship...

Why am I the only one excluded?

Just because I'm a man?

So when Kuroba Akira stared at the empty plate in his hand for a few seconds, and then looked up to ask the class president, who was cutting the cake for everyone, why he was the only one who had been left out...

Their eyes met, and Kuroba Akira instantly felt a chill run down his spine because of the class monitor's 'bright' smile. The feeling of isolation he had just felt immediately turned into a sense of crisis.

"Hehehe, sorry, Mingjun... the cake has already been cut."

It was definitely intentional, because only three cuts were made when the knife was cut, dividing the six pieces equally, but not Kuroba Akira's.

Of course, it could be said that the cake was cut in such a way because it was easy to divide, but seeing the class monitor's gaze, Kuroba Akira knew that this was already a 'hint,' a advance notice that after they finished eating the cake, something that would make him 'go to heaven' would happen next.

I'm going to be dismembered... oh no, I'm going to be eaten!

Kuroba Akira trembled!

As a free spirit, he felt he could handle any situation, but this time it seemed he really couldn't.

From his perspective, all the women present looked at him strangely, and the red Christmas dresses that were supposed to represent joy looked like they were stained with blood, which was very jarring.

He now truly understood what it felt like to be targeted by predators who were above him in the food chain.

The biggest difference lies in 'desire'.

Naked, undisguised, a woman's desire for a man.

Being subjected to such gazes felt like having one's blood frozen, a chill creeping up from within.

Among them, Akiko, the class president, and Makoto had the most intense gazes, while Mirai was also full of sexual desire, which already accounted for more than half of the women present.

But what made Kuroba Akira even more desperate this time was that even Shiori, whom he thought was relatively normal, had a more 'passionate' look in her eyes, perhaps because of the atmosphere.

Just like when she's writing a novel, she's so enthusiastic... It's the first time I've seen her so excited outside of her novels.

How could this be! Even Shiori is being influenced?! Are you trying to write an erotic novel?! You don't need to use yourself as material!

But even if Shiori has been assimilated by them, there is still a final 'safety valve'!

That's Mengmeng... If it were the Mengmeng who gets shy easily in the real world and blushes when talking about men and women, she would never stoop to their level!

So Kuroba Akira looked at Aizono Moe with a pleading look, and indeed, as he thought, she was different from the others.

However, even though the cute illustrations are different, they are still not normal.

Because she was different from the other girls.

That was indeed a weak and cowardly gaze, even more subservient than Kuroba Akira's, but... that kind of complete submission, more loyal than a dog, that would immediately obey her if she stuck out her tongue, rolled over, or barked, as if treating her roughly would get her consent, or even praise. That attitude of never refusing her also frightened Kuroba Akira.

It was as if, at Kuroba Akira's command, Aizono Moe would offer up the cake on her plate, along with herself, and even use her own body as a cake vessel to personally feed her master. Her blushing face and expression conveyed the meaning of 'Please enjoy me to your heart'.

I really want to eat it, but I don't dare to!

Because other people are watching!

If you choose to be unconditionally obedient to others in order to avoid the flags raised by others, you will definitely be retaliated against tenfold!

Although he was stronger than all the women present, he would not be able to win alone if surrounded by a swarm of women.

Of course, as a man, Kuroba Akira had also fantasized to some extent about a very specific harem, a large bed, and beautiful women surrounding him, a scene that could be described as a wine pool and a meat forest...

But it is precisely because he has lost his virginity and has had more experience, even having dealt with two people at the same time, that he knows better than anyone else that 'any more and things will go wrong'.

I can barely manage the queuing, but what if it becomes a random pairing on the spot...

Before they've even received the X-power boost from Kuroo, they'll be drained of their abilities prematurely!

not good!

We really have to escape!

Furthermore, if something truly random and chaotic were to happen at Takanashi's house, the relationships within the Literature Club would deteriorate, becoming extremely chaotic. It wouldn't be as simple as backstabbing and vying for favor anymore! It could even become the catalyst for the club's disbandment!

Just look at those anime series about girl bands that break up after a short time; this is another internal crisis that's causing the disbandment of a band!

As expected, a gender imbalance, a club with only one man, will inevitably face this kind of crisis... It's a bit like a femme fatale, except this time Kuroba Akira is playing that role.

Akira Kuroba was shocked that he was assigned this role, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had brought this upon himself and that the development was not unreasonable.

It was bound to turn out this way sooner or later, but it just so happens that everyone was here today, the atmosphere was getting more and more ambiguous, and Ms. Akiko even drank a few glasses of wine, and the smell of alcohol infected the other girls, which is why we are in this situation where we are about to start having sex.

It's fortunate that Ziyin and Hongxiang weren't called, otherwise they might not have been able to escape.

It was precisely because Shion didn't come that Kuroba Akira had one last excuse to leave.

"So, to 'make up' for the cake you didn't get to eat, Mingjun, let's go inside first. I heard from Mirai-chan that you seem to have a 'private room' in their house?"

The squad leader made a checkmate move, preparing to let the soon-to-be-losing Kuroba Akira go inside and deal damage.

But at that moment, Kuroba Akira chose to 'flip the table'!

He pretended to receive a call, put the phone to his ear, and muttered to himself using his limited but effective acting skills.

"Oh? Oh! Really! They even prepared a cake at home! What? They're just waiting for me? Oh dear... You see, I told you before that I would participate in the arts club's event... What?! Even Uncle Yong is back! Wow, that's rare... Okay, okay, I understand..."

"..."x6:

Everyone else watched in silence as Kuroba Akira made the phone call, their faces gradually darkening as their desire turned into dissatisfaction.

They already knew what Kuroba Akira's choice was.

He didn't choose one of them, nor did he choose to stay with everyone; instead, he chose to retreat and run away! What a coward!

After hanging up the non-existent phone call, Kuroba Akira looked embarrassed and gave everyone an apologetic chuckle, raising his hand in a gesture of respect.

"Haha, sorry everyone, my family wants me to go back now... I didn't get to eat cake, so I'll just go back and eat it then. I won't trouble you to prepare any more for me."

Anyway, if I stay, I'll be the cake...

"Ming, you...!"

Takanashi Mirai was furious. She had planned to take advantage of the chaos today to open a new channel so that she could catch up with the latest game progress, but Kuroba Akira didn't give her a chance to take advantage of the chaos, and didn't even give her a chance to speak.

"Besides, look, winter break has already started, and during the break, our literature and art department can get together whenever we want. We're also going to the Winter CM in a few days... so I'm leaving early today."

Akiko and Makoto's expressions immediately turned unhappy. Akiko didn't want to miss any opportunity to 'become younger', while Makoto naturally liked crowded places, and she also wanted to see how other girls would 'lose their composure' when they were with Kuroba Akira. This seemed to have become her new interest.

Both of them hold extreme positions, and Kuroba Akira never intended to persuade them. As long as he could win more than half of the support, the minority's opposition would be useless... Moe would listen to him, and Shiori was interested, but since Kuroba Akira didn't take the initiative to persuade others, she didn't have the courage to do it herself, and the same would be true for the future.

In other words, the class monitor is the most crucial!

Kuroba Akira originally thought it would be difficult to persuade the class president, because Shion was at home, and the class president definitely didn't want him to go back to Shion's embrace. However, this time Kuroba Akira had a reason that was absolutely advantageous.

"By the way, class monitor, your grandma bought this cake, so I have to go back and have a couple of bites."

This is a true story, but actually Grandma Kobayashi didn't buy it because of Kuroba Akira. On the contrary, she never even thought about Kuroba Akira. It was just that Hongxiang mentioned it to her a few days ago, and she felt that she had never celebrated Christmas before. This year, since there were so many young people in the family, she decided to follow the trend and ordered a whole cake in advance.

Upon hearing that Kuroba Akira was willing to use his grandmother as a reason to run away, Anri Hitomi could only 'temporarily' abandon her idea of ​​taking this opportunity to deepen the communication and connection among the members of the Literature Club.

"...Yes, then you should go back first, I'll have Ruiqing escort you."

"Xiaotong?!"

Makoto looked puzzled. She had thought that since Hitomi had become so soft-hearted, she would definitely allow everyone to touch her boyfriend in front of her. But she didn't expect that she would allow her boyfriend to go home early, leaving everyone who was starving to smell the aroma but unable to get any meat.

Is she protecting her boyfriend?

However, Makoto remembers that Akira Kuroba kept a mistress at home, and this mistress was a formidable rival to Hitomi. It was because of this woman's existence that Hitomi was forced to give up her exclusive mode, something that had been confirmed with the Takanashi family...

Giving permission to her would be like handing salt to the enemy!

However, she had no choice but to complain. When the class monitor gave permission, the votes between the "Eat Akira" and "Wait for Akira" factions changed from 3 to 3 to 2 to 4. Only Akiko and Makoto, the two carnivores, had no legitimate reason to keep Kuroba Akira and could only watch helplessly as the cooked duck flew away.

After watching helplessly as Kuroba Akira waved goodbye to everyone and left Takanashi's house with a look of relief, Makoto bit her lower lip and said unwillingly.

"Damn it, that guy just ran away like that...!"

Anri Hitomi shrugged. Anyway, as the one who got 1 HP, she usually ate as much as Shion, so she wasn't particularly greedy. If she shared with everyone, she wouldn't get much anyway, so she didn't feel it was a big loss. She just wanted to help Shie and Emi, and she was worried about them.

However, if Kuroba Akira were to return to his own home, Kobayashi's family wouldn't have as many women to share Kuroba Akira with, nor would they have any women who could rival Shion. It's almost certain that on Christmas Eve this year, Kuroba Akira would become Shion's exclusive possession, with Tashiro Kurenai perhaps getting a taste of soup.

This annoyed Anri Hitomi a bit, but with so many 'burdens' around her this time, and Kuroba Akira even using her grandmother as a targeted countermeasure, she really didn't know what to do.

"There's nothing we can do. It seems that today's wise ruler has already devised a way to deal with our combined attack."

"Tsk, he's pretty cunning. He even skipped the gift exchange part. I was thinking that if he picked a gift, there would be a one-sixth chance of him being chosen..."

If Kuroba Akira chooses her gift, she can use that as an excuse to ask him to spend Christmas with her, so she can have him all to herself for the whole day tomorrow.

However, Kuroba Akira avoided this step by using an apple, which made Makoto angrier and angrier.

She unwrapped the apple in her hand, took a bite, and then complained.
