Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Oh dear, isn't this..."

Although the two are both in the entertainment industry, they don't meet often because they focus on different areas, and they haven't had a formal conversation. However, Akiko is definitely more familiar with Tsukimi Ryoui than others.

Meanwhile, Hongxiang's Little Red persona emerged, looking regretful as she spoke.

"Hmm, this makeup isn't bad, but it misses the mark... It's a real shame. If the eyeshadow were a bit softer and the eyeliner a bit darker... And the blush color too, if it were a shade darker, the effect would be even better... It doesn't need to be so white; a fair complexion with a hint of pink would look much better..."

It's basically a detailed supplement to the makeup techniques of Lan Yi in "Moon View".

Actually, Lan Yi's makeup skills are not bad; this is already a makeup that can enhance her appearance. However, it is precisely because her own qualities are comparable to Zi Yin's that Xiao Hong feels it is a great pity.

"..."

Even Amayu Hikaru looked up and glanced towards the door, but like her brother, she only glanced at it before looking back down at the novel Shiori had recommended to her.

Not a passerby, but not that special either, just that.

On the contrary, Mizuen Yomi is more of a concern for Ame-no-Hikaru, because the god behind her is not to be underestimated.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Ms. Tsukimi."

"That's right, it's me."

Tsukimi Rimi proudly raised her head slightly, a smug smile on her face.

Normally, she wouldn't be this happy just because someone recognized her, but Kuroba Akira's indifference earlier had slightly damaged her self-esteem, which she was now making up for with Haruka's reaction.

That's right! That's the normal reaction of ordinary people when they see me in real life!

Kuroba Akira's calm reaction was the abnormal one!

That blind man...!

...Although Tsukimi Ryou wanted to say that, she had already realized that the number of beautiful girls in this room was far beyond the limit.

They are all comparable to idols in the entertainment industry, and their average looks even surpass those of all idol groups.

His tendency to prey on beautiful women proves that Kuroba Akira is a vulgar scumbag who lusts after beauty!

"So, what brings you two here?"

The two immediately noticed that she was on guard.

Qingxia's polite greeting also carried a hint of probing.

At this moment, Tsukimi Ryoui noticed that the red thread connecting Tomita Haruka to Kuroba Akira was not one of the darkest ones.

In terms of emotional level, it should be last.

But this doesn't mean she doesn't have deep feelings for Kuroba Akira, because this is actually the color of the 'most standard red thread' in Tsukimi Ryou's memory.

This means that the two are very much in love.

Therefore, by using Haruka Tomita's line as a reference point and comparing it with others, you can see how abnormal the other red lines are.

However, we can rule out Tomita Haruka first, as she is just an ordinary woman who fell in love with Kuroba Akira.

Myōen-en Yomi then explained the reason why they had come.

"Ah, well, we just happened to run into Kuroba-kun, and then we heard that it was a club training camp and a lot of people came, so Yiyi and I just came to join in the fun."

“I see… But first we need to stop everyone from arguing.” Haruka turned to Kuroba Akira and asked, “Kuroba-kun, could you please mediate? They’ll only listen to you.”

"Oh, leave it to me."

Kuroba Akira sighed and walked towards the forum where people were still discussing the topic of cross-dressing.

“I said, everyone, stop arguing. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have left the decision to you.”

"Kuroba-kun, you've come at the perfect time! Can you tell me why you're unwilling to cross-dress?"

Makoto pulled Kuroba Akira directly into the circle of girls, and Kuroba Akira immediately felt sweating profusely, like a suspect being tried in court.

"Uh... the main thing is, I'd definitely look awful in women's clothes..."

"Regarding this, I've said it before. Actually, Kuroba-kun, your figure is very suitable for women's clothing. This isn't just to encourage you, you know. I genuinely think you'd be very suitable for women's clothing."

"I... I see?"

Is it a good thing that it's suitable for women's clothing?

"Moreover, when it comes to women's clothing, the biggest factor affecting appearance is the wig. As long as you wear a wig, a mask, a dress, and stockings, you can easily hide your male characteristics!"

Zhen Cheng, you're so knowledgeable! Did you specifically research men's cross-dressing after you went back...?

"Speaking of which, Kuroba-kun, when you said everyone agreed, did you mean that everyone has to agree? But surely some people will vote against it just to curry favor with you, right? Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Makoto started complaining to Akira Kuroba that the conditions were too harsh, because the last three stubborn ones were simply too much for her to handle.

The union of Hitomi and Shion, and then there's the younger sister.

In order to resolve this conflict that he caused as soon as possible and to avoid destroying the harmonious atmosphere that everyone had worked so hard to build, Kuroba Akira decided to make concessions and obey his wife's wishes even if he had to cross-dress in the end.

"Zhen Cheng is right, so it's still a matter of majority rule. So what's the vote distribution now?"

"Yes, that's about it..."

The supporters are Shin-chan, the initiator; Makoto, the chaotic pervert; and Mirai and Shiori, who just want to see what's going on. There are four people in total.

The neutral faction consists of two older women from the adult female group who don't want to spoil everyone's fun: Haruka, who maintains an objective and neutral stance, and Moe, who doesn't know what to do.

The opposition includes Shion, who says she doesn't want to watch; Hitomi, who doesn't want to lose Kuroba Akira's favor; and Hikari, the younger sister who feels that her brother's cross-dressing is very strange.

"Is the vote in favor 4 to 3? Then we'll have to see how many votes the neutral parties get..."

Kuroba Akira clapped his hands and announced to both sides.

"Alright, this is the final vote-getting segment! Go, everyone!"

Then both sides went to campaign for votes. Akiko was pulled into the pro-vote faction by her daughter, while Hongxiang and Qingxia were pulled into the opposition faction by Ziyin. Now the vote count became 5v5, and the final decision fell to Moe.

"Huh?! In the end, it was...it was me who decided?! This is...this is too much...uh...I..."

"It's okay, Mengmeng, just choose according to your own thoughts, don't worry about anyone else!"

Shiori said that, but she felt that Momo would most likely choose her side, so she and Makoto exchanged a glance and showed a confident expression.

However, she was a little worried about the future because she and Mengmeng had learned the truth about Kuroba Akira's overwork, so Mengmeng definitely didn't want to make things difficult for Akira at this time.

So this time it was Moe's turn to be under everyone's gaze.

She withstood the immense pressure from the entire harem, clenched her fists, and managed to deliver her final conclusion.

"I...I vote in favor!"

"The right decision! Now we can dress up Kuroba-kun like this and that..." "Phew... Yay! We can see him in women's clothes!" "Well done! You get to eat the first shot as a reward!" "I knew you'd bravely stand on our side, Momo!"

"but!"

The cheers from the supporters were drowned out by Mengmeng's desperate shouts.

"This time it's not because of anyone else, it's because of myself... I also want to see what Kuroba-kun looks like in women's clothing! I feel like I can get inspiration for my drawings from it!"

Ziyin, who had been frowning, accepted it after hearing this.

"Inspiration... well, there's nothing I can do about that."

Tong smiled and touched her cheek as she spoke.

"Yes, there really isn't any other way."

Kuroba Akira crossed his arms and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, inspiration is indeed very important... Alright, then let me dedicate myself to art."

Even Akira Kuroba, who was directly involved, accepted this explanation.

"what?"

Moe herself was the most confused; did everyone actually accept this explanation?

So, Kuroba-kun would readily agree to any request for work-related matters?

It's true that as long as you ask Kuroba for help, you'll definitely get help... just like that time in the bathroom when Kuroba helped me relax and drain water...

So that means... under the guise of work... he can get Kuroba to do anything for him?

It was as if Mengmeng had discovered a new continent; all sorts of images were already popping into her head... about how her master would unexpectedly grant her any request.

"Haha, Yiyi, we've been completely left out."

On the other side, Myōen Yomi and Tsukimi Ryou watched the whole farce unfold.

"……boring."

It's really baffling that these women are seriously arguing about whether or not to dress Kuroba Akira in women's clothing. Are they all out of their minds?

Before this, she thought that because of the red thread connecting them and Kuroba Akira, their relationship should be extremely tense, the atmosphere stiff, and it should be an extremely stressful and chaotic battlefield.

The result was like a comedy sketch... What's with this relaxed and joyful atmosphere?

However, this is also a good opportunity to see clearly the depth of the relationship between these women and Kuroba Akira.

Tsukimi Ran asked Myōen Yomi to point out the names of those women and then analyze the corresponding red lines.

First, there's the mutated red thread, which is a red thread that has other elements mixed in with love.

For example, Shiori Shirai.

The red thread connecting the woman to Akira Kuroba also contained other colors, giving it an overall orange-red hue, which represented not only love but also respect and admiration.

Because orange is also the most common color for Aoi in Tsukimi, there is an orange thread connecting her to her juniors in the agency.

It seems she regards Akira Kuroba as her goal and idol.

Similar mutated red lines can be found on Takanashi Mirai and Saionji Makoto. These two also have similar orange-red lines, but their red parts are deeper, indicating that they are even more dependent on Kuroba Akira.

If the ratio of red to orange between the two of them is 7:3, then Shiori Shirai's ratio is 5:5.

Then there's an even deeper 9:1, with Akiko Takanashi and Kyouka Tashiro... representing that they have already regarded Akira Kuroba as their 'husband'.

This is basically the color of loving couples who stay together for life and grow old together.

However, those two were also Kuroba Akira's women? And they actually liked Kuroba Akira to this extent... It's incomprehensible.

Next is Hikawa Makoto. This woman is half yellow and half red, which indicates that she mainly maintains a physical relationship with Kuroba Akira.

And Aizono Moe, with brown representing a superior-subordinate relationship, indicates that she is completely subservient to Kuroba Akira.
