I'm a weird expert in Japan

"...Gah..." Aki Tomoya was speechless and couldn't utter a single word.

If he really gathered all these people together, he would be useless, but if he had such a dream combination, it would not be impossible to create the most perfect galgame in his mind.

An Yi decided to try again and intended to get down from his seat and beg Shiyu to let go, but before he could take any action, Shiyu spoke again.

"But that's too much to ask, so let's lower the requirements and let Kashiwagi Eri and Utsunomiya Ren join." Shiyu opened the door to the rooftop, "I look forward to your efforts, Tomoya-kun."

pat-

The rooftop door closed, locking Aki Tomoya out.

Eriri was still okay, but letting a musician he was totally unfamiliar with join the club... was simply a fantasy.

What should I do?

Even if he had seen on Twitter that Shijo Ren seemed to be a reader of Kasumi Shiko, there was no guarantee that he would be interested in this matter.

An Yi was walking down the stairs dejectedly, thinking about something without looking at the road, and bumped into someone.

"Sorry..." He took two steps back, "I didn't notice..."

"No, don't worry about it. But you seem to be very depressed, Amaki-san."

"... Kitahara-senpai."

An Yi recognized the person he bumped into.

Chapter 32 Chapter 1: Conversation between Kitahara Haruki and Aki Tomoya in the Corridor ()

After being bumped into by Tomoya Aki, she was not angry at all. Instead, she began to care about the person he was absent-minded about. Her name was Haruki Kitahara.

A third-year student at the private Toyonosaki Academy, he is always ranked second on the academic table.

But compared to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who has been ranked first since entering school, he obviously fits the image of an excellent student in the teachers' minds more.

Grades, interpersonal relationships, attendance, and being trusted by most teachers.

They are all well-known for their good reputation in this school.

Although he did not join the student union, he was trusted by the student union president and members. According to rumors, he was even called the "shadow president of the private Toyosaki Academy student union."

However, Kitahara Haruki himself is not very familiar with this title.

In contrast, Tomoya Aki, who had argued with his teacher over the use of the audio-visual classroom for a marathon animation broadcast at last year's school festival and even alarmed the principal, and became a school celebrity in the form of "infamy", was a completely different person from him.

That should be the case in theory.

"No, it's nothing serious--" As an otaku, An Yi loves the two-dimensional culture, so he doesn't like these top students very much.

"If you encounter something that bothers you, I can be your advisor. After all, if you cause a commotion over a small matter like last year and even alarm the principal, that would be a real headache." Kitahara Haruki continued his statement calmly. His slightly furrowed brows showed that he was worried, but his tone was steady as usual.

"Uh, hahaha..." An Yi laughed awkwardly a few times.

If it was any other student, he would have simply ignored him and avoided him, but it was a little difficult for Kitahara Haruki.

The reason was simple. It was related to his plan to use the audio-visual classroom to hold a marathon animation screening during last year's cultural festival.

When the principal had already been alarmed and the whole incident was reaching a climax, with both the school and Aki Tomoya losing control of their emotions, the person who stepped forward to calmly mediate and help the two parties reach a consensus was Kitahara Haruki.

Just like the protagonist of the story in Tomoya Aki's cognition, when the situation was desperate, he suddenly descended from the sky and became the mainstay to turn the tide.

Not only did he convince the principal and teachers, he also convinced Aki Tomoya.

Aki was allowed to use the classrooms and a series of requirements were put forward, such as maintaining the equipment, clarifying the broadcasting time during the cultural festival, and reporting the broadcasting content.

These were all things he could accept.

After this, the two never had any contact again, and Kitahara never even came to the screening.

But for An Yi, there is no doubt that he owes a favor that he cannot repay for the time being.

Even if he wanted to forget, the students around him couldn't.

So when facing Kitahara Haruki at this moment, An Yi naturally cannot avoid it.

"But if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you, Amaki-san." Kitahara seemed very generous. "After all, everyone has things that are difficult to talk about. When you want to talk about it, you can always come and discuss it with me."

After expressing his willingness to help, Kitahara Haruki prepared to leave as if that was all he had to say.

Then, Aki Tomoya called out to Kitahara, "Wait a moment, Kitahara-senpai."

"Hmm?" Kitahara continued to smile.

Since even such a complicated situation could be resolved successfully, An Yi thought she could talk to Kitahara about it.

Especially compared to others, Kitahara is supportive of Aki's hobbies.

"It would be a good thing to expand the content displayed at the school festival a little bit, which would help increase the diversity of the school festival. As long as the content is properly controlled, there will be no problem."

This is what Kitahara Haruki said when he was trying to persuade the school.

This attitude of identification, which was contrary to that of others, made An Yi feel quite fond of this top student senior.

"Actually, I'm facing a little difficulty right now." An Yi said, scratching his head.

"Problem? Is it related to Amami's love of the anime?" Kitahara asked.

"Yes--"

"Then tell me, what happened?" Kitahara Haruki leaned against the wall at the stairs, pretending to listen.

"It all started during spring break—"

So An Yilun began to talk about the cause and process of the whole incident.

For example, how he encountered a "fateful encounter" during spring break; for example, he wanted to use this as inspiration to create a galgame of his own.

However, after he wrote the plan, he encountered various problems.

In total, Aki Tomoya spoke for a full ten minutes, and Kitahara always showed a curious and studious attitude and nodded continuously.

"...Anyway, that's it."

Feeling that he had made things clear, An Yi let out a long sigh.

Then, Kitahara folded his arms, closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening his eyes.

"Okay, I think I understand what's bothering Amaki-san right now."

"Do you really understand, Kitahara-senpai?" An Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Although there are many personal narratives in between, it actually boils down to this -" Kitahara stretched out his hand to gesture, "In order to complete the game that Aki wants to make, there must be people who can write scripts and draw, and the people that Aki has chosen are our grade's top student, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the second-year art club ace, Sawamura Spencer Eriri, right?"

"Yes."

An Yi nodded.

"But I didn't expect that Amami-san actually knew those two. That's amazing." Kitahara praised.

“No, no—”

Fortunately, Kitahara did not delve into the reason for their acquaintance, and Aki was glad that she did not have to reveal the fact that Shiwa was writing light novels and Eriri was an R18 fan artist.

But then again, the fact that Kitahara Haruki would not ask too many questions was actually the reason why Aki Tomoya was willing to ask for advice.

"Then the problem now is that Kasumigaoka-san suggested that you must first successfully invite Sawamura Spencer Eriri-san and Shijo-san, who transferred in last year, before they will join your project?" Kitahara repeated Aki's current predicament.

Regardless of why Kasumigaoka Utaha said that, this requirement is actually very high.

What's even worse is...

He went to see Eriri after school yesterday afternoon, and she made the same request.

The script is written by Utaha Kasumigaoka, and the music is written by Ren Shijo.

Although no matter how she looked at it, Amaki felt that this was an idea that only Shinoya Shinobi, the follower of Eriri, would come up with.

"And Kasumigaoka-san's request was actually lowered. She asked you to find the best lineup at the beginning?"

After hearing Amaki's complete retelling of the request, Kitahara Haruki had a different opinion about Kasumigaoka Utaha's request, which was comparable to the five difficult questions in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

Chapter 33: Kitahara Haruki and Aki Tomoya's Conversation in the Corridor (2)

He thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't intend to demand such a perfect lineup at all.

Proposing a seemingly impossible goal and then considerately reducing the difficulty, the fundamental goal of this rhetoric is to leave Akitomo no reason to continue bargaining.

But even so, the requirements are still very high.

The biggest problem is the person named Si Tiao Lian.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri is easy to understand, as she is a girl in school who is famous for her drawing skills and has won many major awards for the school.

But even though she is the daughter of a diplomat, her fame is not as great as that of Si Tiao Lian who can appear on TV shows.

Putting these two requests together, Kitahara thought it was too strange.

Even the four ripples are classmates.

Communication is communication, and work is work.

This option was deliberately arranged...

"That can't be..." Kitahara muttered to himself unconsciously.

"What can't you do?" An Yi asked hurriedly.

"Ah, nothing, I was just saying it casually." Kitahara shook his head.

He was just wondering whether Kasumigaoka Utaha's most fundamental purpose in proposing this idea was.

Shijo Lian is a famous young violinist with countless fans.

The top student in the school year who likes classical instrument performers is, in a sense, too ordinary for the top student who always suppresses his grades and always sleeps in class.

But if this liking is not from fans to musicians.

It's the kind of love a girl has for a boy...

From this point of view, Kitahara still believes that there are enough reasons to explain it.

It can even explain why Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't interact with others.

After all, this vision is too high.

Kitahara thought about this and looked at An Yi who was restless like an ant on hot pan. He thought there was no need to tell An Yi these analyses. If he made An Yi lose his composure and cause a bigger commotion, he would not be able to shirk responsibility.

Even if the teacher doesn't blame Kitahara, just cleaning up the mess is already difficult enough.

All in all, it's a bit of a tricky situation.

But Beiyuan felt that he was not completely clueless. At least now, he had a little idea.

"Amaki, let's not talk about the Shijo Ren issue for now...but we do have a solution for Sawamura Spencer Eriri." Kitahara told Amaki confidently.

"Eh? Really?" An Yi was stunned, "What should I do?"

Eriri asked Shiyu to join, and Shiyu asked Eriri to join.

He felt like it was like an infinite nesting doll.

"Well, before I tell you how to do it, let me tell you a little story." Kitahara said confidently, "It's said that at a party, a man walked up to Bill Gates and said he wanted to introduce a good husband to his daughter. But Bill Gates said that his daughter didn't need to get married for the time being."

"and then?"

"This person said that the young man he was going to introduce was the vice president of the World Bank," Kitahara continued. "Of course, this was false."

"Hey hey hey hey?"

"Don't worry, this person then went to the president of the World Bank and said he could recommend someone to be the executive director. But the president said the bank already had many executive directors." Kitahara raised his finger, "At this time, the person said that the person he wanted to introduce was Bill Gates' son-in-law."
