My anime harem is complex

"No...no." Kato Megumi looked away with a guilty conscience and quickly changed the subject, "What should I do if Sawamura-san feels unhappy? Give him a lesson? Or tell him that I want to join?"

"How can I join him when I just refused before? And I don't think highly of his childish plan, so..."

"So?" Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"So let's make a GALGAME together! You will be the heroine! Design a heroine based on your personality, and the story will be about how an ordinary girl becomes a shining heroine!"

"......." Kato Megumi hesitated to speak.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

Sawamura-san....what a troublesome personality.

But... the heroine.

That's indeed a bit of an expectation.

Kato Megumi has had a very low sense of presence since she was a child, and it is very common for her name to be forgotten. A few days ago, Kato Megumi, who didn't like trouble, went to the multimedia classroom without knowing what GALGAME was. A big part of the reason was that she wanted to try what it felt like to be the heroine.

After seeing Eriri and Shiwa arguing, Kato Megumi felt a little regretful...it would definitely be troublesome with them around.

But now...it seems like we're in even bigger trouble.

……

The time soon came to afternoon.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Eriri took Kato Megumi to the art club. After saying hello to her friends in the art club, Eriri quickly came to the door of her exclusive studio.

The door was ajar, obviously someone had arrived early.

boom!

Eriri suddenly pushed open the door, and saw a beautiful light novel writer with long black hair and big breasts, who was looking at Eriri's paintings in the studio.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! You, a shady girl, came here so early just to peek at my paintings, right?"

"Please don't call me by my full name, Sawamura Spencer Eriri." Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, "Besides... didn't you ask me to come here in person?"

"Please? When did I ever beg you to stop making up stories?" Eriri closed the studio door and leaned her butt against the table. "I want to make a game that sells better than his. Do you want to come?"

When Shiyu heard this proposal, her heart beat faster and she admitted that she was a little tempted.

But... in front of Eriri, I can't agree immediately even if I'm moved.

"A perverted woman like you is responsible for the original drawings of this game? Forget it. I don't want to be associated with Kashiwagi Eri, who is synonymous with pervert. I am a serious light novel writer, not a writer of erotic novels."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, you bastard..." Eriri gritted her teeth, "If you don't want to sign your name, you can just release the game under the name of the club. Humph... If it doesn't work, forget it. At worst, I can write the script myself."

"If I let a perverted girl like you write the script, my game will really be over. But...if you kneel down and beg me, I will help you write the script."

"Hehehe... Then just wait and see how the game I, Sawamura Eriri, make will crush his in sales."

"Sawamura Eriri-san will definitely lose if she goes alone. In order to ensure victory, I will help you with reluctance."

In the industry, sales volume is everything, the more sales volume, the better. Although Aki Tomoya never said that he wanted to have any competition, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha had already made their own decisions.

Kato Megumi on the side sighed deeply... He asked you to participate before but you refused, and now he has found someone else and they decided to do one themselves.

What a troublesome and awkward personality... Wait!!! Why are they all looking over here! ?

"Kato-san, you should come too."

"Yes! You too."

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!???”

……

Amidst Kato Megumi's cries, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha unilaterally decided to let Kato Megumi participate. After the decision was made, Eriri sent a message to Aki Tomoya, and he readily accepted the victory this time.

Limited to the Winter Comic Exhibition, the heroines on both sides created a GALGAME based on Kato Megumi's personality to see who has higher sales, but there is no reward for the winner and no punishment for the loser...it's just that both sides are betting on one thing.

Even Kato Megumi was taking a gamble.

I thought she was the destined heroine, but I didn't remember her face after being in the same class for two years. And that's not all... During the entrance exam, Aki Tomo was trapped on the rooftop and it was Kato Megumi who found him and reported to the teacher and rescued him. However, he actually forgot about it after the class was divided.

Although the three of them are all betting on one thing, producing GALGAME is not something that can be solved by just being angry. Although one of them is a comic and the other is a novel, they have been in the industry for a long time and understand the difficulties that the production of GALGAME will encounter much better than Aki Tomoya.

Ordinary fans probably think that, GALGAME... they take it for granted that all it needs is a good script and beautiful illustrations.

But in reality it is much more than that.

The original paintings and scripts are for players to see, but a lot of work also needs to be done in the places that players cannot see.

The most basic thing is the program. Although there are ready-made production tools and tutorials, if you want to master it proficiently, you need to learn some programming knowledge to a considerable extent.

For example, music, inserting the right background music at the right time can double the release of emotions. Should we use music from the public copyright library? Or should we find someone to compose it? Who decides when to play what music?

For example, if you want to hire a voice actor for dubbing, who should you hire? A good dubbing can make the character more vivid and colorful. If you want to dub, you also need a dubbing director.

These are all things that players can hear and see, but there are many things that they cannot see, such as the setting of deadlines for the construction schedule... If there were no deadlines, let alone the Winter Comic Con, they might even drag it to the Winter Comic Con of the following year.

For example, the communication and coordination between various processes and links etc. all need to be done by dedicated people, otherwise the original drawings and scripts will be so confusing that your brains will burst out before the game is finished.

These are not things that the three of them can handle.

Just as they were thinking about it, Ito Lin called Eriri's cell phone.

"I heard you guys are going to do GALGAME too?"

"How do you know...he told you?"

"if not?"

"Tsk..." Ying Lili smacked her lips slightly, "Are you calling to laugh at our joke?"

"You are a member of Baumkuchen, and I am the president. Isn't it normal for me to care about you making games?" Ito Lin smiled, "Do you need help?"

Currently, there are not many members in [Baumkuchen], and the main focus is comics.

In addition to Ito Hayashi, the president, there are Mashiro who may leave at any time, Eriri who draws the humiliation books, Sagiri who probably won't draw books in the future, and Saho, the assistant to the cartoonist.

Different from other girls who are pursuing their dreams, Ito Lin now wants to make [Baumkuchen] bigger and stronger and create greater glory, so that she can make more money.

Although there are many wealthy women around Ito Lin, there are also many who are willing to give him money as long as Ito Lin asks... At least Mashiro and Hua Lian are definitely willing to give.

But...men are just that.

Ito Lin hasn't reached the point where he doesn't want to work hard.

Ever since meeting Akane Ayaka, Ito Rin's heart has been itching... Ito Rin also wants to make [Baumkuchen] into a large-scale amphibious club like Akane Ayaka's [Rouge en Rouge], covering all ACGNs.

If you specialize in comics, it would be a good idea to become an editing company similar to Crab Editing Company.

However, this is just Ito Lin's goal. At present, [Annual Ring Cake] is still in the initial exploration stage. It is a very loose club. If it wants to become bigger and stronger, the first thing to do is to expand the club and exert its influence.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and blind expansion will not lead to good results.

Start with the people around you.

For example, fairies, for example... Kasumigaoka Utaha.

……

"Good afternoon, I'm Ito Hayashi, the president of Baumkuchen."

After hanging up the phone, Ito Hayashi and the other two made an appointment to meet at a dessert shop near the school. After seeing Ito Hayashi, Kato Megumi and Shiyu looked at Ito Hayashi with surprise.

"I thought the presidents were all older, but President Ito looks so young." There was a hint of surprise in Kato Megumi's tone.

"I'm just the president of a comics club that was just formed not long ago, not the president of a big company." Ito Lin smiled and said seriously, "I don't have any experience with GALGAME. If you need any help, just tell me. I will do my best to help you as I gain experience."

Okay...

Originally, Shiyu thought that Ito Lin was very experienced in producing GALGAME, but it turned out that they were all newbies and Ito Lin was also here to accumulate project experience.

But...it's better than just the three of them.

"First of all, what kind of game do you want to make? Is it for all ages or 18+?"

Shiyu: “All ages.”

Yinglili: "18+"

Shiyu and Eriri spoke almost at the same time, but their answers were almost opposite. The two looked at each other and sparks flew instantly.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, we are competing on sales. If you make a product for all ages, who will buy it? Of course, more people will buy it if they are 18+!"

"Eri Sawamura, I'm different from those people who sell illustrations and give away toilet paper. 18+ will only pollute my script. Besides, if it's done well for all ages, there will be an audience. I have confidence in my script. But Eriri Sawamura...don't you think no one will read your drawings if they don't have any erotic content?"

"Huh? How is that possible? How could such a cute girl not be watched? But you... 18+ polluted your script? Don't underestimate 18+, hum... You can't write, right?"

"Eri Sawamura..."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!!!"

Hiss...Ito Lin took a breath of cold air.

Good guy, Ito Lin exclaimed. Good guy.

Although Ito Lin thought that the two people had incompatible personalities, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated... What the hell is this game?

Ito Lin previously thought of losing money to gain publicity, whether it was comics or GALGAME, to make the name of [Baumkuchen] more known to the public, at least to make it familiar.

Then, by the way, see if we can kill two birds with one stone and recruit Kasumigaoka Utaha into the club.

As a result, now... Ito Lin is in tears.

"Calm down...calm down."

"Humph..."

"Humph!"

Ito Lin spoke, and the two people who were arguing finally calmed down a little.

"Nowadays, many clubs' games are sold online. We can sell the main game for all ages, and then sell the 18+ part in the form of DLC."

After hearing what Ito Lin said, the two nodded and stopped arguing. If they continued arguing, Ito Lin would have thought about finding a fairy to write it for her.

After sighing secretly, Ito Lin continued to ask about related matters.

"One of you is the original artist, one is the script writer, and one is the mascot."

"She's the heroine." Kato Megumi added in a calm tone.

"Well, okay, the heroine, Ms. Kato." Ito Lin sighed and continued to confirm, "Do you have any friends for dubbing and music?"

Before the two of them spoke, Kato Hui beside them said faintly, "Mr. Ito, do you think they look like people with friends?"

"That makes sense, then skip it."

"Don't skip it! Why don't we have any friends? Hey! Kasumigaoka Utaha, why don't you refute me?"

Seeing Shiyu looking away guiltily, Ying Lili became deflated.

Although Eriri has the money to hire a professional dubbing artist, the other party is doing it out of love. Isn't it cheating to pay someone to do it yourself?

"I'll go ask Nanami if she's interested."

If it was the working warrior Nanami in the past, she would definitely not be interested because she only wanted to work and earn money to sign up for training classes, but now Ito Lin dared that she would definitely be interested.

"BGM... Never mind. I won't ask anymore. You definitely don't have any friends."

The two blushed but had no way to refute Ito Lin's words. However, there was really no one around Ito Lin who played music...wait.

Speaking of people who play music, Ito Lin remembered that when he went to pick up Umi and Misaki from school, he saw a girl carrying a guitar case who looked like Pochi-chan.

Maybe I can trick her over here... ahem, not trick her, but help her make friends.

Ito Lin sighed.

"Anyway, Eriri, you're in charge of the original drawings, Kasumigaoka, you're in charge of the script, and I'll take care of the rest."

This time, Ito Lin is here to bring Kasumigaoka Utaha into the club and accumulate project experience. It doesn't matter if it's a bit tiring, he can accumulate more experience in the future.

"Well...what about me?"

It was not until Kato Megumi spoke that Ito Lin realized that he had subconsciously ignored her again.

However, Ito Lin really doesn't know what Kato Megumi can do.

"Hmm... Kato-san hasn't played GALGAME much, has he?"

"Well... just heard some of what he said."

Before, when Tomoya Aki introduced GALGAME to her, he introduced some of them to her, but he always talked to himself and sometimes used some technical terms, without considering whether she could understand.
