Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"So, is it possible that you might suddenly kiss me like you did just now...?"

The big star's lips and tongue are very attractive, and Kuroba Akira also enjoys it. He also has a sense of vanity that he has monopolized everyone's idol. However, considering that this will directly cause chaos in the harem, Kuroba Akira feels that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"If it works, I'll try again, but for now it seems unlikely to work. And if a move is ineffective the first time, it'll be even less effective the second time."

Although Kuroba made it clear that she could keep things in check as long as she came, Tsukimi Rii felt that this was too optimistic.

Those women were all bound by red threads, none of them were simple characters, and emotions are often the trigger for irrational actions.

Perhaps on the first try, they might choose to stop out of pride.

But what about the second, third, and Nth time?

As the number of times increased, they would eventually discover that Kuroba Akira was using her as a shield. At that point, they would definitely try to get rid of her, or simply use physical means, such as tying her up or locking her up, to directly prevent her from interfering with Kuroba Akira's good time with them.

Therefore, if necessary, Tsukimi Ryou could also act as if she were completely infatuated with Kuroba Akira, just like them, and use pseudo-gravity to suppress real gravity.

She wasn't joking when she said she could have sex with Kuroba Akira to leave her scent on him and make Shion and the other women feel aroused; she had seriously considered this matter.

She was still willing to give her body.

However, this is a final, devastating weapon, a self-destructive weapon that is only considered when defense is truly impossible, and it will not be used at the very beginning.

And Tsukimi Ranyi sincerely hopes... she hopes you won't force her to do something so drastic.

You certainly wouldn't want a stranger spitting into the hot pot you're eating together, would you?

As long as you behave yourselves and don't over-exploit Kuroba Akira, he will remain your shared lover, and you will only be symbolic bodyguards.

Kuroba Akira, of course, had no idea that Tsukimi Rii was so 'dedicated' that she would not only give up her first kiss, but even use 1 HP as a powerful attack.

In addition, since Tsukimi Ran-i also needed his cooperation, Kuroba Akira was completely defenseless against her, or even had negative defense against her.

They never even considered the possibility of 'embezzlement' or 'taking a fake relationship for real'.

"Anyway, all you have to do is notify me in advance and hold out until I get there. You should be able to do those two things, right?"

"must be able to!"

“Great, that’s settled then. I’ll go back and tell Miao that we’ve reached an agreement, so she won’t have to worry about me anymore… Can I tell her the details of our deal? Miao is very discreet and will keep it a secret for us. Besides, she can also support us.”

"Sure, the more allies the better."

"Okay, let's disband here."

After completing the transaction and negotiations, the two went on to do other things.

Tsukimi Ranyi went back to her room first, and then sent a message to Myoen Yomi asking her to come back so she could talk to her about something.

Then, Tsukimi Ranyi pondered how much to tell A-Miao.

Just then, Tsukimi Ryou saw a line in her field of vision.

That is the thread of fate between Tsukimi and Ai, which is what Aoi values ​​most and what she most wants to change, and Kikurihime.

Then she was astonished to find that the line... had gotten thicker!

It really was just a tiny bit. If it weren't for the fact that Tsukimi Ryoui checked this thread every day, she might have missed this extremely minor change.

After tentatively measuring it with her little finger, Tsukimi Ryoui realized that she really wasn't mistaken.

The question that immediately came to her mind was...

why?

Why did it take so long...? Was it because of Akira Kuroba?

Does this mean I made the 'right choice'?

Kikuri... are you watching this too?

Tsukimi Rimi felt a sense of enlightenment dawning on her.

More than ten years have passed...

My life, which had been stagnant like a pool of still water, has finally started to change again.

All of this was because of meeting Akira Kuroba.

A new relationship brought her new possibilities.

……

In conclusion, the conversation was very pleasant, and the task progressed very smoothly. It can be said that the progress has increased significantly, with at least one-third of the work completed.

Regarding the side effects of Tsukimi Rii's abilities, Kuroba Akira had already considered some possibilities, but he wasn't entirely certain yet.

Actually, I was thinking about the curse on Junko Ohno, namely the 'insulator' constitution that Motoko Kobayakawa also mentioned.

"Insulation" means there will be no new encounters.

From now on, she will only see people she knows, and she can only build deeper connections with people she knows.

So, is it possible that if Tsukimi Ranyi ultimately abuses her abilities, she will lose all her new encounters?

Moreover, the personnel configurations on both sides are very similar. Teacher Luo has Teacher Suzi as her best friend, and Lan Yi in the moonlight also has Senior Miao as her best friend.

However, Kuroba Akira did not delve into it further. Firstly, there was no way to verify his conjecture at the moment, and secondly, he did not want to think about this matter during this trip, otherwise, he would be preoccupied with it and it would affect his mood.

So, the next step is to move on to another side quest, which is much simpler, since in this side quest, Kuroba Akira is the one who gets persuaded.

So all he had to do was nod in front of Junko Ohno.

Just as he was walking back to his room, he saw the two teachers returning as well.

"Hey, young man Ming!"

Junko Ohno cheerfully raised her hand to greet Akira Kuroba.

Kuroba Akira, who had just finalized the deal, was in high spirits. Thinking of his dying wish to make games, he shouted excitedly.

"Oh! Come on, Ms. Luo!"

Junko Ohno was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said something.

"Is that so... I really can't do anything with you. Since you can get aroused by a body like mine, then as your health and physical education teacher, I'll reluctantly teach you..."

Who needs your instruction! My practical experience far surpasses your theoretical knowledge!

"No!!! You rascal! I was talking about the game! The game! What are you thinking?!"

"Oh! A game! You agreed?! That's fantastic! I can reward you with my body!"

"..."

You just want to take this opportunity to lose your virginity, right?

A shameful old maid.

"Even if you didn't mean it that way, don't look at your teacher like you're looking at a maggot. Even I can get hurt."

"Seriously, Ms. Luo, do you even have any motivation at all...?"

"Hahaha, teacher, of course I knew from the beginning that you were talking about games, Ming boy! I was just trying to liven things up!"

"..."

Then please don't look so guilty.

Kuroba Akira secretly glanced at Motoko-sensei, who was standing to the side and behind Ms. Rachel, and received an encouraging look and a thumbs-up from her, meaning, "Just keep going."

Yoshi, just charge forward, right... That's true, let's get started!

"So, Ms. Luo, what type of game do you want to make?"

Junko Ohno scratched her head with an awkward but polite smile and said...

"Ah, about that, I haven't actually thought about it yet..."

Kuroba Akira was dumbfounded. He had considered all the possible types, but he never expected that the lead planner, Ms. Luo, would not have even decided on such a basic thing.

"Haven't decided yet?! You came to me with such force, inviting me to make a game, but you haven't even decided on the type of game you want to make!"

We've already hit a wall at the very beginning.

You haven't even decided what kind of game you want to make?

Kuroba Akira couldn't help but feel ashamed. Was this really okay? Was it really going to be a game from scratch?

"Because...because people really don't know what games to play..."

Junko Ohno tried to act cute in a coy and affected way, but because it was so artificial, she didn't look very cute at all; instead, she looked old-fashioned.

Sure enough, even a small size cannot completely conceal its own decay... cough, mature personality.

Just like Grandpa Kobayashi, although he has now turned into a young boy, his behavior is still like that of an old man.

"Stop acting cute, Ms. Luo. Do you really not have any games you want to make, or are you trying to give me the decision-making power?"

"Hmm... I guess it's a bit of both... Because if I make the decisions, there are always some unexpected things that happen, so now, my goal has changed from 'making the ideal game' to 'any kind of game will do, just make it first'..."

"what……"

Her pupils were as dark and lifeless as black holes at that moment.

Because of repeated setbacks, have your standards become lower?

It's more like they're begging that nothing bad happens.

"Furthermore, I know that creating large-scale games takes a lot of time and requires sufficient manpower and financial resources. If I take up too much of your time because of my personal whims, it would be tantamount to using you to satisfy my own selfish desires... After all, I am a teacher, and I cannot let your youth be wasted by me..."

"Teacher Luo..."

It turns out that she was considering the students' feelings, which is similar to the reason that Ms. Motoko wanted to watch over and silently care for everyone in the Literature Club.

But if you ask me...

"Although I am very grateful for your concern, Ms. Luo, I think you are overthinking it. Just like when we exhibited and sold comics together at the Winter CM at the end of the year, the experience of making games together will also become a part of our youthful memories."

“That’s right, Junko. I’m actually a little regretful now. I wish I had joined in and made the manga with everyone in the literature club... So don’t miss out on such a rare opportunity like I did.”

Motoko-sensei also acted as a wingman, providing assistance.

"And I didn't agree to make a game with you because I felt sorry for you, Ms. Luo. It was because I wanted to make games myself that I accepted your invitation... But if you hadn't invited me, I probably would have kept running away."

　"Suzi, young Ming...!"
