Tokyo Soft Rice King.

However, Kuroba Akira himself still doesn't feel the reality. Although he was the initiator, he is almost at the point where he doesn't even know what the company is doing anymore.

Fortunately, Akira Kuroba has a capable and beautiful secretary, Hitomi Anri, who simplifies what's happening at the company into a way that Akira can understand, and then chews it up and feeds it to him.

Kuroba Akira only understands the current progress of the company thanks to the class monitor.

"D-Station will soon be undergoing commercial financing, which will attract more talented content creators to join, so now is a crucial time for you to make your mark..."

Just as Kuroba Akira was explaining why he shouldn't be complacent about reaching 100,000 followers, Mirai suddenly stretched out her palm and asked in astonishment.

"Wait... Akira, you wouldn't be doing all these things at the same time while drawing comics, would you?"

"Hmm? These things?"

Kuroba Akira looked completely bewildered.

"That's right, Ming, you're helping Ziyin choose her future voice acting projects and career plans, starting a manga serialization with Mengmeng, writing a light novel with Shiori, arranging jobs for Makoto and Mato, worrying about the development of the video website, and... you're even helping me with my ideas, and even playing games with me?"

As he counted off the remaining numbers on his fingers, his expression grew increasingly shocked.

"Isn't that just a matter of course?"

That's right, for Kuroba Akira, this was just a matter of course.

"After all, these are things that I promised before, so I should do my best to complete them. Not to mention the business we're working on together, as for the company, I only helped recruit some people, and there's nothing else I can do to help."

Hiring professionals to do professional things is the only thing Akira Kuroba believes he can do.

"If I had to say, the class monitor probably does even more. She now spends all her time outside of school, clubs, and being with me managing the company. She's practically the general manager."

Although her official title is still secretary, she is actually a female CEO.

But now there's no need to worry about the class monitor losing all her dowry; in fact, it should be worth dozens of times more.

"But, even so, you've still done too much!"

"It's alright... It was indeed very tiring before, mainly because, uh, there was extra physical and mental exertion, but now thanks to Qingxia, I have more rest time, at least my sleep time is guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Future's expression turned strange, even horrified.

He has already done so much, and on top of that, he was still dealing with women?

Is it true? Is he Superman?

She turned to look at Moe and saw the same astonishment in the other's eyes.

That's great, I'm not the only one who finds it strange...

It seems that Kuroba Akira is pushing himself too hard, but he doesn't seem to realize it.

This is because once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; once you start something, you can't stop.

As the initiator, Akira Kuroba's involvement increased as the situation developed, and he became increasingly busy.

He is like a self-igniting fuse, which eventually launches a magnificent firework, but the fuse itself will burn to ashes.

Because what a person can do is ultimately limited, without the aid of a system cheat like Deus Ex, the only way to do all these things at the same time is to rely on...

liver!

Akira Kuroba was once a corporate slave.

Moreover, he was the ultimate workhorse among corporate slaves, a corporate slave who died from overwork.

The defining characteristic of this ultimate office worker is that they will complete any task assigned to them, no matter what.

This leads to squeezing out their own rest time.

No one noticed, after all, Kuroba Akira looked like a lazy guy.

However, now that his schedule is packed full, Mirai discovers another unusual aspect of Kuroba Akira.

This man... doesn't know how to relax at all!

As long as there's something to do, I won't stop!

They say things like, "These are things I have to do," but then they throw themselves into them wholeheartedly...

He said he wanted to support everyone's dreams, and he was truly burning himself out!

If no woman comes to sleep with him, he'll exploit himself!

Chapter 421 Is this considered living off a woman?

Kuroba Akira couldn't understand why Mirai and Moe were so surprised.

There are great differences in common sense between people. For Kuroba Akira, these are just things he should do every day, but to Mirai and Moe, he is unknowingly rushing toward overwork.

Common sense is something that is hard to correct. Even if you tell him the truth, he will just think, "This is normal."

Furthermore, Mirai and Moe were originally the weaker party, unlike the strong Hitomi and Haruka who had persuasive skills to the point of convincing Kuroba Akira. Therefore, even if they discovered the problem, they were unable to correct Kuroba Akira.

So the two vulnerable little animals had no choice but to retreat. Realizing that it was already very late, they told Kuroba Akira to rest early before going back to their respective places.

Incidentally, Hikari was also brought back in the future, which was something Kuroba Akira asked him to do.

Although Hikari Ame no Hikari, whose memories have regressed a thousand years, is no longer as dull as before and shouldn't do anything radical to regain her sister's memories, Akira Kuroba still feels it's better not to keep her around. Besides, the ban on overnight stays should continue.

Regarding Xiaoguang's memory problem, we certainly need to find a solution, but we haven't made any progress yet, so we can only take it one step at a time.

Since she's now interested in modern entertainment, let her continue to immerse herself in all sorts of stories.

After everyone left, Kuroba Akira tidied up the room and then began to review the project proposal.

He wasn't a professional producer, so he didn't know what kind of project could be considered excellent.

But he understands stories.

Moreover, a good project proposal reveals the writer's passion.

Find projects with excellent stories and passionate plans from the planners. Even if the budget is a bit low, it should be a safe bet.

More than how much money she could make, Akira Kuroba cherished Shion's reputation and wanted to mold her into an artist with both virtue and talent.

In the stillness of the night, the dim light of the desk lamp cast a long shadow of Kuroba Akira. He was hunched over his desk, reading, filtering, and analyzing with his pen...

This stack of proposals will determine Ziyin's future; he will not slack off, he must fulfill his promise.

At six o'clock the next morning, Kuroba Akira, who had slept for four hours, got up to wash up.

Because I had made a promise with Qingxia to start exercising, I had to get up early.

Kuroba Akira had just finished washing his hair when he heard the door open. He dried his hair with a towel as he walked to the entrance. Haruka, who had just taken off her shoes, picked up her breakfast sandwich and said good morning to Kuroba Akira.

Good morning, wise ruler.

"Oh, good morning, Qingxia, you're up so early! It's a holiday now, so you can still sleep in."

"This is my usual wake-up time. Kuroba-kun wakes up just as early, doesn't he? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not bad, I didn't dream and slept through the night, which means my deep sleep time is long enough and my sleep quality is pretty good."

"Sounds alright, but it sounds like someone who just collapsed into bed due to exhaustion."

Qingxia pinched her chin and recalled the time her roommate came back last night.

"I remember that Ziyin and Hongxiang came back around 9 o'clock yesterday. They came to your place before going home, but they didn't seem to stay for long. They shouldn't have caused you any extra expenses, Mingjun. Besides, Mirai and Xiaoguang were also there... Did you come here secretly without telling them?"

"No, no... I'm not so desperate as to secretly enjoy myself all the time."

"I also think it's unlikely that you, Kuroba-kun, will take the initiative. I mean, Shion-kun, who has been working all day, will probably want to relax with you. She seems to need to smell your scent to fall asleep peacefully; she's already a serious case."

"Ah ha ha……"

Kuroba Akira could only laugh awkwardly, because Haruka was right.

"My nose isn't as sensitive as Shion's, so I can't smell whether she has your scent on her, Kuroba-kun. That's why I came to confirm with her in person... Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

She invited me to shower with her, but I declined.

Qingxia blinked, quite surprised by this.

"Huh? She actually refused? But Ziyin seemed to be in a pretty good mood yesterday?"

"Perhaps Ziyin also saw through my reason for refusing... As long as the reason is valid, Ziyin won't be angry. If she were really angry, she would take great care of me and wouldn't give me a chance to refuse at all."

"I see... It looks like a gentle concern, but it's actually a forceful way of leaving her mark on you, Kuroba-kun. It's just like Shion-san's style..." I've learned something too.

Qingxia kept that last sentence in her heart and immediately put it into practice.

"So that means no one cheated yesterday, but you must still be quite tired, Kuroba-kun?"

"Well, I guess so."

"Should I help Kuroba-kun with this?"

Kuroba Akira could understand the meaning behind Haruka's slid-down gaze, and he was even startled by it.

Qingxia, you're a bit too bold, aren't you?

Does she think this is also part of a shrine maiden's duty?

Do you start your day by serving your own ancestral spirit?

Putting aside her identity, is it really okay for someone as young and beautiful as Haruka to handle things for me?

Although Shion would help me deal with the morning symptoms before, the class monitor would also help me solve them at school.

However, those two are different after all. In Kuroba Akira's mind, she belongs to the side that 'can be helped', but Haruka is still in the middle... It was all Kuroo's fault before, but now that she really needs her help, it feels a bit excessive.

"We need to release all the bad things that accumulated yesterday so that we can start the new day refreshed. Of course, if Kuroba-kun hates it, that's fine. I just want Kuroba-kun to be more focused on morning runs from now on, instead of hunching over for fear of exposing something."

"Um... then, I'll leave it to you?"

Kuroba Akira agreed without thinking.

On the one hand, it is indeed as Qingxia said, the discharge still couldn't go away after Heiyu Ming finished using the toilet, because the part generated yesterday because of the moe was still accumulating.

On the other hand, it's because Qingxia's attitude was too natural, so natural that it seemed like this was her job.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

"Wait a minute, don't pull down your pants! I'm going to wash first..."

"It's okay, no need to go to so much trouble. Besides, you're going for a run later, aren't you? You can shower when you get back."

"But I just finished using the toilet..."
