In the time loop, I do whatever I want

I must say, Yotsuba Nakano has great hair quality. She takes good care of it, so it feels smooth and soft to the touch.

Fushimi Makoto simply rubbed her head, watching her happily shake her head in his hands, and said, "In short, you are a comrade-in-arms that I acknowledge, and the best gaming partner that I recognize. You don't need to go out of your way to please anyone."

"So what should I do in my daily life?" Nakano Yotsuba completely trusted him, her eyes sparkling.

"You can do whatever you want. As for responding to other people's requests, like I just said, you can let Ichika oversee it for you."

After Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, he added in a joking tone, "I saw a really funny quote online, but I think it suits you perfectly now: Nakano Yotsuba is no less than anyone else."

Nakano Yotsuba felt dizzy for a moment.

She may not yet understand her own emotions, but there is one thing she does know.

Fushimi Makoto's complete trust in her and his encouragement were simply intoxicating to her.

“I can sense that your heart is starting to flutter,” Fushimi Makoto joked.

This time, Yotsuba Nakano couldn't hold back; her cheeks flushed rapidly, turning as red as cherry tomatoes.

She quickly lowered her head, no longer daring to meet Fushimi Makoto's gaze.

However, she still responded shyly, "I'll listen to you."

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]

The system's cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

Fushimi Seito was taken aback.

This time, things really turned out unexpectedly well.

Since he has drifted further and further away from being a "normal human being," he has rarely had the idea of ​​quickly completing tasks and getting rewards.

This time, he only guessed that Yotsuba Nakano was helping out everywhere again and had even injured herself, which is why he was in a bad mood and came over to have a good chat with the girl.

Unexpectedly, the task was completed by accident.

[Mission Reward (Nakano Yotsuba's Effort Aura): Nakano Yotsuba doesn't know which direction to focus her efforts on, so her progress is all-encompassing. She's always eager to help anyone who asks. She seems to have a little experience in everything, but only a little.]

[This aura can be activated three times daily. Once activated, anything the host creates will gain a positive attribute due to their efforts.]

what is this?

The aura of crafting props?

Fushimi Makoto was somewhat uncertain.

When he first saw the word "effort," he thought it would make him twice as efficient, but now it seems that his guess was completely wrong.

Since things have come to this point, let's find an opportunity to verify it.

Makoto Fushimi composed himself and chatted with Yotsuba Nakano for a while longer, making sure that the girl's inner conflict was resolved, before the two returned to their respective classrooms.

Because he had a very good impression on the school leaders and teachers, even when he returned during class and disrupted the atmosphere, the teachers still smiled and let him in.

For the next half of the class, Makoto Fushimi barely listened. He tentatively tore off a piece of paper, activated his "effort aura," and casually folded it into a perfectly shaped paper airplane.

Sure enough, the system notification sounded immediately.

[A slightly rough-around-the-edges paper airplane from childhood: No matter where you want this paper airplane to fly, it will eventually reach its desired destination.]

[Note: This item embodies your hard work and effort, so it can fly to wherever you want. You can fill in answers during exams to help your classmates.]

Fushimi Makoto fell into deep thought.

Judging from this description, what I made is pretty amazing.

If it's exactly the same as the text description, isn't this a conceptual artifact?

He then recalled the halo of Nakano Yotsuba's hard work.

You call this hard work?

There's no way to deny it; it's blatant cheating, they didn't even bother to act it out!

As for the description in that note...

Okay, okay, so you not only cheated yourself, but also suggested that I help my classmates cheat, right?

[Please note, host, this is all thanks to your hard work and effort; there was no cheating.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Fushimi Makoto could only say in his mind: 666.

After school, while everyone was still in the classroom, Fushimi Makoto picked up a paper airplane, aimed it at Aota in the first row, and gently tossed it.

The paper airplane drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally landed accurately on Qingtian's head.

"what?"

Qingtian suddenly felt something strange on his head. Startled, he hurriedly got up and froze when he saw the paper airplane that had fallen from his head.

He turned around in confusion, and Fushimi Makoto waved at him.

"Fushimi, you actually play with paper airplanes? How childish."

Aota smiled, picked up the paper airplane, and casually tossed it toward Fushimi Makoto, where it landed right in his arms.

"what?"

Aota immediately became interested and ran over in a few steps. Just as he was about to reach for it, Fushimi Makoto raised his hand and asked, "Didn't you say paper airplanes are childish?"

The other person immediately chuckled and said, "Well, it's not really childish. The paper airplane you folded looks pretty perfect. Can I borrow it to play with?"

Others also witnessed this scene and jokingly teased, "Qingtian, are you a child?"

Ten minutes later.

A group of boys chased the paper airplane around the classroom, excitedly shouting, "Okay, okay, it's my turn to play now!"

Even Hayama Hayato, who was reading a book, was intrigued. Always a sociable person, he called out and joined the group.

The girls watched this scene expressionlessly, wondering if the boys in their class were all elementary school students.

How could they do such a thing?

Nakano Satsuki and Yumiko approached Fushimi Makoto, both of the beautiful girls wearing complicated expressions.

Playing with paper airplanes is something only elementary school students get excited about, in their eyes.

Makoto Fushimi defended the boys, saying, "Haven't you heard the saying that a man is a boy until he dies?"

Yumiko looked at the group of boys shouting and said in a flat tone, "They're so young."

Nakano Satsuki lowered her head and chuckled softly. That was what she thought too, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Fushimi Makoto then said, "To be honest, I folded this paper airplane."

Yumiko suddenly nodded: "That's not surprising. You're the leader of the boys, and paper airplanes are quite fun."

Nakano Satsuki: "???"

Seriously, don't you get punished for changing your expression so quickly?

Chapter 304 Where's the effort and sweat? It's practically cheating!

The club activity room after school.

Despite having created a wildly popular short film, Yukino remained humble and unperturbed. While others around her could not hide their joy when they occasionally mentioned the short film from two weeks ago, Yukino seemed completely unconcerned.

She still comes to the activity room to read every day, and if Ichika Nakano isn't in a hurry to film, she will discuss filming-related matters with her.

As for why she didn't discuss it with Shiyu, whom she approved of?

Yukino only recently noticed the strange thing about Utaha; it seemed like Utaha had suddenly become very close to Eriri.

Judging from their behavior, they seem poised to become best friends who live and eat together.

How did these two people become so close?

Yukino enjoys thinking and is good at it.

In the days leading up to the end of the holiday, she remembered Eriri and Shiha's relationship. It was similar to Eriri's relationship with herself; they were friends who could chat, but not that close.

But now it's different.

Yukino can be certain that something happened between Utaha and Eriri.

She pondered for a while, her gaze unconsciously falling on Fushimi Makoto.

Ok?

Why is this guy spacing out?

Yukino discovered another anomaly.

Whenever Makoto Fushimi comes to the activity room, he always finds something for everyone to do, ostensibly to "help everyone improve together."

Makoto Fushimi's position in her heart was naturally incomparable to that of Utaha and Eriri.

So she decisively dismissed Shiyu's unusual behavior, got up and sat down next to Fushimi Makoto.

While Fushimi Makoto was pondering the "Hallucination Aura," he suddenly caught a whiff of a captivating fragrance. He turned around and saw Yukino staring at him with an air of nonchalance.

"Is there something on my face?" Fushimi Makoto probably guessed what she was thinking and pretended to be puzzled.

Yukino placed the book she was holding on her lap, her thighs pressed together by her black stockings: "Is something bothering you?"

No, not at all.

"If not, why have you been spacing out since just now?"

"I'm thinking about whether we should make a third film."

Makoto Fushimi gave Yukino an unexpected answer.

She paused, a thoughtful expression on her face, and said, "While I don't mind continuing to improve, I feel that if we start filming a new short film so soon, it will be difficult to motivate everyone, and they will also feel tired..."

As she spoke, her gaze swept quickly across the faces of everyone in the room, and she said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about others, just take Ichika for example. She's still filming on set, and after filming, she'll have to go with the crew to promote the film. It's impossible for her to have time to participate in a new short film anytime soon."

“That makes sense.” Fushimi Makoto had only mentioned it casually.

Yukino considered it very seriously: "But if you really want to film it, there is actually another way."

"any solution?"

“You should lead everyone. Only then can everyone become as enthusiastic as before,” Yukino said meaningfully.

Her words not only made Fushimi Makoto the leader, but also required him to continue using the club's account to negotiate advertising contracts.

With advertising revenue, the group of friends that Makoto Fushimi called upon would have the motivation to fight.

Although Yukino acknowledged the efforts of Makoto Fushimi and his friends, she knew in her heart that friendship, strictly speaking, could also be depleted.

If Qingtian and the others keep coming to the film crew to help, their own time will be greatly taken up, and they won't even have time to do what they like.

At this point, if there's advertising revenue, that's fine; at least it gives them some motivation. But if they don't continue negotiating advertising contracts, their enthusiasm will eventually wane.

“I understand what you mean.” Fushimi Makoto sincerely praised, “As expected of the Second Miss, she is both strong and beautiful, and she has thought about the future so early.”

Yukino smiled and said, "I'm glad you finally didn't use that old-fashioned compliment about how cute I am."

Then she deliberately lowered her voice: "Strong and beautiful? I quite like that phrase."

"In games, beauty and strength are usually paired with tragedy."

"Beautiful, strong, and tragic? Is that how you want to describe me?"

“I never said that.”

Yukino didn't take those words to heart. She glanced at Eriri, who was chatting with Utaha, and seemingly muttered to herself, "Has Sawamura-kun been following your training schedule lately?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Fushimi Makoto asked curiously.

Yukino said confidently, "Based on my observations of her, she is not the kind of girl who can seriously stick to training. I guess she has probably already given up along the way."

"You're really amazing, Yukino," Makoto Fushimi praised again.

Eriri did indeed give up exercising some time ago.

Even Shiyu is one of them.

If he hadn't slipped up a little, those two beautiful girls probably would have already thrown away their plans.

"Looks like I guessed right." Yukino got the answer from Fushimi Makoto's words.

As if she had just remembered something, she said, "Do you need my help?"

"What do you plan to do?" Fushimi Makoto became interested and was no longer in a hurry to tell her the truth.
