Zongman: Harem's Music

Buzz~(phone vibrates)

Wuwei: Are you there?

Wuwei: Have you finished reading it?

Wuwei: Is it so wonderful that I don’t know how to express it for a moment?

Wuwei: Don’t be afraid that I will be proud, just praise me as much as you can!

puff~

The little girl was amused at the cheeky message that popped up on the screen.

"Hmm~"

In a cubicle not far away, Inoue Sodeka (Note 1) held a drawing board pen in her right hand, looking strangely at her. Since the afternoon, she had been crying into her phone, feeling depressed, and dazed... and then suddenly laughing out loud. I thought to myself: This girl is not in a premature love relationship... But she is only 8 years old... This is too early...

Sagiri didn't notice her mother observing her secretly. She hesitated for a moment and picked up her phone to type: "Why do you want to write a novel?"

hum~

Why do you want to write novels?

Looking at the conversation bubble on the phone screen, Nishimiya Tsutomu was stunned for a moment, but asked himself: Why?

Now it's for the money, but I made a living from this in my past life, and I never hated it. I also dreamed of becoming a famous writer...

Wuwei: Maybe it’s because of my passion!

Ji Yan: Will you continue writing in the future?

Wuwei: Of course.

5 Centimeters per Second is a fantastic book, but my illustrations don't do it justice...

Seeing this, Xigong Siyi was a little surprised.

Could it be that this is the reason why I haven't replied to your message for so long?

The two met because of Tsuneichi's "The Great Adventure of the Strongest Brave", but what led to their frequent communication was Jiyo's spontaneous illustration for "The Great Adventure of the Strongest Brave"...

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision without much preparation, coupled with a lack of understanding of Japanese online novels and presumptuous enthusiasm, and the setting of the second-year secondary school elements, "The Great Adventure of the Strongest Brave" is a typical flop except for the acceptable writing style.

But it was this insignificant work that unexpectedly attracted the reader Jiyi...

A flopped online novel and a series of beginner-level hand-drawn illustrations allowed two people who lived in the same city but had never met each other to keep in touch for four months without a single day.

What Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who had already opened a new account and published other basic short stories to earn a considerable income, did not know was that "The Great Adventure of the Strongest Brave", which he updated once a day simply because he didn't want to have an appendix and took up less than one twenty-fourth of his time, was the thing that a girl with severe school phobia had devoted her greatest passion to for four months.

I want to be a professional painter!

Don’t do: …

Translation: Before that, I won't message you anymore... Even if you contact me, I won't pay attention to you. One day, I will come to you with a painting that matches your work!

Looking at the words between the lines which were slightly childish but also mixed with decisiveness and resoluteness, Xigong Si was stunned for a moment but then smiled.

In any case, it is always a good thing for a person to have goals and dreams!

Wu Wei: I'm waiting for you! Isn't it a great title to be the official painter of the super popular novelist Wu Wei?

I reserved this title!

After clicking send, the ambitious Sagiri turned to look at her mother, "Mom!"

"Ah, what's wrong?" The mother who was observing secretly was startled.

“I want to learn to paint!”

……

(I couldn't find the name of Sagiri's mother in Eromanga Sensei after searching the entire internet, so considering her voice actor's name, this book uses the name of Isodo Kaori!)

Chapter 12 The night is getting deeper!

"Hmm~"

Nishimiya Tsutomu crossed his arms, staring at the last "Sayo La La!" bubble sent by Ji Ye on the phone screen on his desk, and fell into deep thought.

After experiencing the promised event, Nishimiya Tsukasa, who had regained consciousness, suddenly realized that his experience was quite similar to the plot of an orthopedic anime from Country D that he had watched in his previous life. "It can't be such a coincidence... It's unscientific!"

Nishimiya Tsutomu, who was thinking in vain, thought: Speaking of system, do you know anything?

This function is not open yet. Please complete the initial task as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Xigong Siyi smiled helplessly and said, "I knew you would say that!"

After the unknown system released the initial quest, "Sister Protector," all of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's questions were answered with the message, "This function isn't available yet. Please complete the initial quest as soon as possible." Group 9: 8, 02:05 85/6, posted by Daidai. Self-reply...

Obviously, just as players need to click on the branches and fruits of the technology tree one by one, the conditions for opening the many functions of this system also need to be progressive.

Although it is a bit troublesome, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi does not feel disgusted by the mysterious feeling of anatomy.

Limited information: The system seems to classify many functions into sections, such as the already activated task section, and the fate section activated after completing the task of protecting my sister.

There is no way to know the situation of the fate section, but the purpose of the task section seems to be to earn points... Points should be similar to some kind of currency, and their specific use is currently unknown.

"Well, I can complete the task tomorrow anyway!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi touched his hair, which was already about 70% dry. "My fate... seems very interesting... I'm really looking forward to it..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was about to go to bed, there was a small knock on the door...

Familiar frequency!

I have a reply! Group 9: 8, 02:05 85/6, by Dai Dai. Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who was at his desk, didn't say anything like "Come in," but quickly stepped forward and opened the door from the inside.

Outside the door, there was a girl wearing pink pajamas with strawberry patterns, holding a pillow with a cartoon bear pattern in her arms, with slightly damp brown hair and an embarrassed smile on her face. Who else could it be but Glass?

"Are your ears uncomfortable?" Xigong Siyi asked with concern.

Glass shook her head, trying to enunciate as accurately as possible and shortening the words to the shortest possible length, "I want to sleep with, Xiao-Si!"

After saying that, she shyly covered half of her pretty face with a pillow, revealing a pair of big eyes filled with expectation...

Of course, Glass's shyness does not stem from matters between men and women. It's simply because she is the older sister, but has always been and even now, she is more like a younger sister and she is embarrassed!

A silent world is dull and boring, even frightening and even driving people crazy... When Naoko was deaf, it was Nishimiya Tsuyoshi who accompanied her through every night when it was too quiet to sleep.

This went on for about three months. Only after Glass got used to it did the brother and sister sleep separately. However, whenever Glass felt uncomfortable in her ears or couldn't sleep because of something on her mind, she would habitually look for Siyi while holding her pillow.

This time was no exception, even though she was unwilling to admit it.

Knowing what was going on, Nishimiya Tsutomu moved aside to make way for Nazori and jokingly said, "Come in, it's a bit chilly, and I just need a pillow!"

"Um?"

Although the twins have an innate understanding, it is not true telepathy. However, Glass tilted her head, as if she didn't understand.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi explained: "Um, I mean, come in quickly, be careful, you might catch a cold!"

The inside of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's not-so-spacious bed was occupied by Nozomi.

Turn off the lights and get into bed. Although Nishimiya Siyi's bed is not spacious, it is more than enough to accommodate two eleven-year-old boys and girls.

Close, very close, extremely close... Time passed by in a hurry, until Glass, like a child looking for warmth, completely stuck to his side, resting her forehead on his shoulder... Feeling the faint fragrance of shampoo and shower gel, the warm and soft touch, and the gradually soothing breathing, Nishimiya Jiyi's heart also calmed down!

There were no excessive thoughts or lingering desires, only simple and clean cuddling and care. Nishimiya Siyi carefully pulled up the quilt a little, wrapping it tightly around Xiaozi's vest...

The slight movement from the outside world made Glass wrinkle her nose slightly. She opened her mouth and mumbled something in her sleep, and rubbed her head lightly against Si Yi's shoulder.

Looking at the cute appearance of Nozomi Nozomi, Tsurugi couldn't help but laugh, then murmured softly: "Go to sleep, it won't be long...all the annoying people will disappear..."

……

On the first floor, today's laundry is hung on the clothesline.

"This is..." Looking at the bloodstains on Shiyi's white shirt, Nishimiya Yaeko frowned slightly, then looked towards the second floor, "Shiyi, that kid..."

……

Ishida's barber shop had already closed its doors. In a room on the second floor, after taking a shower, Ishida Shoya hugged his sore shoulders and fell asleep feeling the dull cramps in his abdomen.

In an apartment-style house, the light of a desk lamp illuminates a corner of the room. Under the guidance of her mother, Sagiri begins her initial systematic training in painting.

As the night deepened, a drizzle fell silently on the territory of Kyoto.

……

Chapter 13 One person is out!

next day!

"Let's go out!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who was already used to getting up early, finished his breakfast calmly, got dressed, and left the house holding the hand of Yuzuru, who was going to the first grade of elementary school.

Because they were not going to the same school, Nishimiya Tsukasa first rode his bicycle to take Yuzuru to the other school, and then calmly turned around and headed to Minato Elementary School.

After entering the school and locking the car, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi took out his cell phone and checked the time.

07:39

"It should be about time, right?" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi murmured as he put his phone back and walked towards the teaching building with the crowd of students coming to school.

Yes, the time to do it was naturally when Ishida Shoya was on his way to and from school. Yesterday afternoon in Chiba Prefecture, when he asked Nishimiya Tsuyoshi about the time, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's words "the sooner the better" determined the time when Ishida Shoya's healthy life would end.

……

"Start the roll call now!"

"Umura Hinoki!"

"exist!"

"Ueno Naoka!"

"exist!"

"Shimada Ichihata!"

"exist!"

"Ishida Shoya!"

"..."

"Ishida Shoya?"

"..." Takeuchi Shun pushed his glasses, marked the roll call on the duty list with a pen and continued.

After morning self-study, Shimada Kazuki went straight to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's table and talked incessantly about the battle last night... Nishimiya Tsuyoshi agreed with a forced smile and curled the corners of his mouth.

Of course, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi didn't have the time to play games with Shimada Kazuki, so he didn't even bother to borrow his account. He directly asked his senior from Shotokan to play with Shimada Kazuki. Of course... there was no language barrier. Shimada Kazuki just thought that it was Nishimiya Tsuyoshi who played games with him until midnight last night.

The students around them briefly discussed why Ishida Shoya didn't come to school, but then lost interest. The topic gradually turned to their own hobbies, and even Ueno Naoka was no exception...

She must be sick!

In the office, after talking to Ishida Shoya's mother on the phone, Takeuchi Shun's face gradually became grim...

"Shoya goes out on time!" These are the exact words of Ishida Shoya's mother.

This brat... is really going to cause me trouble! Takeuchi Shun is getting a little restless. Car accidents, kidnapping, abduction, getting lost, running away, accidents... No matter which possibility it is, as a homeroom teacher, he is more or less bound to be in trouble.

In the first class of the day, Takeuchi Shun’s Chinese class turned into English… During the class, a group of school leaders hurriedly passed by the corridor.

The class was interrupted halfway through. The homeroom teacher, school officials, police, and Ishida Shoya's mother, a woman with dyed blond hair that was already beginning to fade, entered the classroom and asked the students if anyone knew anything about Ishida Shoya's recent abnormal behavior.

After the inquiry failed, everyone left, and the students realized that something might have really happened!

Among the curious crowd, Ueno Naoka glanced at Nishimiya Tsuyoshi behind her for some unknown reason, and received a casual smile from Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.

After Ueno Naoka turned her head, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's left foot stepped lightly on the floor in rhythm. If someone who had lived with her for a long time, they would find that this was a subconscious action made by Nishimiya Tsuyoshi while waiting.

On the border of Hyogo Prefecture, adjacent to Kyoto, a white van without license plates was parked outside an abandoned warehouse. Inside the warehouse... a man reeking of alcohol and with dark circles under his eyes was approaching a boy with his limbs tied and his mouth gagged in the corner, holding a dagger in each hand.

"Don't blame me, I can't do anything about it. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who paid for it!"

……

The initial mission of "Sister Protector" has been completed!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2400 points!

The system is fully activated...
