Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Ziyin noticed the gaze directed at her and asked bluntly.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Tsukimi Ryou walked directly towards her, revealing her signature smile as she introduced herself.

"Hello, Murasaki no Miyako-san, I'm Tsukimi Rii..."

But before she could even finish her self-introduction, Ziyin frowned and asked her a question.

"Hmm... Strange? You haven't 'broken free' yet?"

"……what?"

"You must have just finished filming, and you haven't been able to erase the traces left by the previous role from your mind yet. You should be able to sense the unease in your heart."

"..."

"You're doing something very bad. Even I immediately extract the soul of the character after I finish dubbing, otherwise it would be dangerous and could affect me."

"...How do you know?"

"This kind of thing is obvious at a glance, isn't it?"

An excited smile appeared on Tsukimi Rimi's face.

This woman is truly capable.

No matter how realistic the acting is, there will always be flaws. So how do we eliminate those flaws?

As long as you don't think you're acting, that's fine.

Just like you have to deceive yourself before you can deceive others, acting is similar. It's not about imitating the character or getting into the character, but about 'becoming' the character.

Only in this way can the fake be made so convincingly that it is difficult for people to distinguish it from the real thing.

But so far, no one has been able to see her actions so clearly.

Not to mention seeing the 'side effects' of this approach.

So that's how it is. So there really are people who are born with the ability to do this.

Kuroba Akira, you weren't just saying that she could rival me.

When an arrogant person reaches their limit, they must have thought of one thing: what if there was another version of themselves? It's like wishing you could cram eleven all-time greats into a team.

And now, Tsukimi Ryou has truly seen 'another version of herself'.

Now we can have the best scenes together...!

So there's only one thing left to do.

Take her away.

If Kuroba Akira is exposed on the spot, even she will be disappointed in him, right?

"Murasomiya-kun, I have a suggestion."

"I refuse."

Don't you even want to hear it?

"I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your expression, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you."

"You're not interested in me...? What if that's the case?"

As she spoke, Tsukimi Ran walked towards Kuroba Akira, who had his back to her. Suddenly, she grabbed his arm and made him turn around to face her. Then, she cupped his cheeks, stood on tiptoe, and pressed her lips to his.

The movements were completed in one smooth motion.

"...!"

Before Akira Kuroba could react to the stolen kiss, his mouth moved first, because 'responding' had become a conditioned reflex.

As a result, it was Tsukimi Ryoui who was startled and opened her eyes wide, because what she originally wanted was just a light peck, but it turned into a deep and lingering kiss.

This guy...! How can he be so skilled?! That was my first kiss!

At the same time, this scene also ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

Myōen's Underworld: "Yi-yi?! What are you doing, Yi-yi?!"

Aiyuan Moe: "Eh?! W-wow, that's so sudden..."

Shirai Shiori: "Oh no! It's a new philanderer! Let's team up! Everyone, we need to punish her!"

Takanashi Future: "See, I told you it was a romantic encounter! Wait, how could she dare! She's too brave!"

Hikawa Makoto: "Damn it! They actually used their ultimate skill right in front of me! I want one too!"

Saionji Makoto: "Sister, don't make things worse... She's going to incur everyone's wrath now."

Everyone was panicked. Those who weren't panicked just thought about the two people she was about to face and felt that she was going to die a horrible death.

What surprised everyone even more was that the three of them were not flustered at all.

Tsukimi Ran-i couldn't take it anymore and left, then blushed and wiped her mouth.

Mainly, she felt that if it continued, it would affect her thinking, and she felt like her brain was melting... She never expected that her first deep kiss would feel so good...

No! This is just open provocation; how can we get carried away with it!

"So, are you interested in me now, Murasaki no Miyako no Shion!"

Ziyin looked displeased, but only gave a cold snort.

"Hmph... You're just trying to annoy me, aren't you? I admit I'm a little annoyed, but the conclusion is the same: even if you did something like this, I won't consider you an enemy, because you simply don't 'qualify' to be my enemy."

"you……!"

They actually said I wasn't qualified...!

The man she loved most was forcibly kissed by another woman!

How can she remain so calm!

Originally, Tsukimi Ryoui wanted her to first treat her as an enemy, then continue to seduce Kuroba Akira, making him fall at her feet. Then, Murasaki no Miyako would see Kuroba Akira's true colors and be greatly disappointed in him. At that point, she would take advantage of the situation and manipulate her emotions and will...

But now it's stuck at the very first step.

"It's not just me, Ah Qing, you think so too, right?"

Qingxia nodded and said.

"Hmm... I don't really feel like a 'newcomer'... I thought I was going to have a junior soon, but it seems like 'not yet'."

Then Anri Hitomi also spoke.

"Indeed, she just seemed to want to stir up a hornet's nest, but someone has grown up. Now, she won't be provoked by such a small act of infidelity, haha."

Despite sacrificing her first kiss without getting anything in return, Tsukimi Ranyi completely broke down.

"Why! This isn't right! Your...your views on love have collapsed?!"

The three of them looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then all broke into a smile.

What used to be a heavy topic has become a source of amusement and laughter after we started talking about it.

Hitomi Anri: "Of course, I can't keep it all to myself."

Murasaki no Miyako no Shion: "But if everyone shares it, then OK."

Haruka Tomita: "These are the basic rules to follow when dating Kuroba-kun, Tsukimi-kun."

Tsukimi Ran-i was speechless.

She finally understood why the red threads on Kuroba Akira's body were in the shape of a ball of cotton thread, like a spider using its silk to preserve its prey.

Kuroba Akira is 'bound by the red thread,' but the real abnormal ones are these women.

Chapter 440 A Few Things About Whether New Members Will Join the Harem

Hearing that Ziyin could say such things, Anri Hitomi couldn't help but sigh.

"But I never expected that the love-struck person who used to rack her brains every day to monopolize the wise ruler could say such a thing."

When facing Anri Hitomi, Shion made no attempt to hide her annoyance.

"Stop arguing. I've already relinquished the title of wise ruler, so you should thank me for my selfless openness."

"Stop pretending to be magnanimous. If it weren't for Xia's persuasion and the need to avoid scandals, you would have reluctantly accepted Mingjun moving out. Otherwise, how could you have accepted such an arrangement?"

"Tsk..."

Ziyin clicked her tongue. Although she was annoyed, Anri Hitomi was telling the truth, so she simply turned her head away and pretended not to hear it.

Although Ziyin doesn't have absolute authority in this club, educating a complete newbie is still a piece of cake for her.

"In short, if you can't accept it, I also advise you not to pretend to like a wise ruler. No matter how convincing your acting is, no one here will believe you."

In fact, Tsukimi Ryoui did nothing wrong; her only mistake was that she arrived too late.

If it were last year's Shion, even if Shion hadn't experienced the year-end event, she might have been provoked by her and thought that a second Makoto had appeared.

So when they saw Tsukimi Ran's sudden kiss, a few people actually believed it. But because Hitomi Ziqing's triangle in the center of the harem was as stable as Mount Tai, everyone realized that Tsukimi Ran was just putting on an act.

Besides, for well-known actresses, kissing scenes are just a piece of cake.

Little did they know that this was actually Tsukimi Rii's first kiss.

This is also a misconception about actresses, as if actresses can only be considered truly professional if they can calmly accept kissing scenes.

But actually, you can only see those kinds of explicit kissing scenes in adult films now. In regular dramas, even romance dramas, they won't give such clear shots, because what they want to convey to the audience is emotion, not just a passionate kiss.

The illusion of a kiss on the lens is usually created by using multiple camera angles.

Furthermore, since most actors nowadays are also managed as idols, agencies try to avoid female artists filming overly explicit scenes, which is also a way to protect the reputation of well-known artists.

To avoid creating more scandals with male actors, which would be very bad for her career.

"Why... do you think I'm faking it?"

Even when she managed to squeeze out those words, Tsukimi Ryoui herself felt they looked incredibly awkward, almost like she was struggling to survive.

But she is not reconciled.

It's unacceptable that after making such a huge sacrifice, not even a ripple was made!
