Chapter 195
They told their summer vacation story—yes, just one summer vacation.
It has to be said that when writing a male protagonist with high emotional intelligence, quick thinking, and decisiveness, the success rate is frighteningly fast... although in reality it would be even faster.
As for why Bocchi and Ryo were the first to accept the harem... I think someone asked that question before, so I'll answer it.
I think they are the people who are least interested in romantic relationships. What they want most is not a romantic partner in the narrow sense, but a long-term, stable social relationship and companionship that makes them feel comfortable.
Of course, these two things can also be present in a relationship, but they prioritize these two things and don't have high requirements for other conditions of their boyfriends. Nijika, who may have stepped into the dark corner to some extent, is also like this.
Therefore, if there is prior explanation and they feel that they can continue to maintain this fulfilling relationship, they are more likely to accept it.
Nijika and Kita are a different story. As members of the Sun's Corner Group, they are more influenced by worldly customs, making their situation much more difficult.
Honestly, there's not much to say.
After all, this is just a lighthearted harem-style slice-of-life romance novel.
Finally, thank you all very much for reading this far.
A Qingri novel can't even maintain daily updates, and the updates are infrequent. It's not only uninteresting, but the writing is also terrible, riddled with typos and grammatical errors...
Furthermore, it adopts a novice writing style that emphasizes characters over plot and basically ignores supporting characters.
I haven't been feeling well lately, I feel completely out of it, and a lot of what I wrote is... covers face and weeps
ORZ
Okay, enough with the chit-chat.
Finally, I'd like to say again, thank you so much for reading this far, and I hope to see you all at the end.
I have already paid my respects here.
End of volume
This marks the end of Volume Two; the final volume is coming up next.
I have this strange feeling of a final sprint.
There's not much else to say, so I don't really care whether you watch it or not. I think everyone can guess the plot; it's just for fun and entertainment.
Actually, I didn't know what to write at the end of the volume. After all, I didn't have an outline, and I didn't know how to develop the story. My mind was still blank.
Let me recall what I wrote in this volume.
Volume Two begins at chapter 104 and ends at the current chapter.
I think I'm right... I've also kind of forgotten where the first volume ends, since I didn't specifically mark the end back then, and the end of the previous volume was connected to a leave request, which I accidentally deleted when I was deleting the leave request. Um... I'm sorry (hehe~)
Okay, back to the main topic. This volume starts with Kita's sneaking away and ends with everyone's goodwill completely transforming into romantic feelings.

153. Fall
Summer vacation during student days is an unforgettable time immersed in laughter and sweat.
A free-flowing beach, azure sea, shady woods, air-conditioned shops, and streets filled with the chirping of cicadas.
Every place is filled with wonderful memories.
It was only at the end of summer vacation, when others were lamenting the passing of the holidays, that this happened.
On this dark, overcast day, in weather that made one fear a downpour, a group of poor people were playing in a deserted area near the woods.
Kita, dressed in a disheveled, dark-colored outfit and carrying a guitar that towered over her, walked slowly through the low, overgrown weeds.
She walked hesitantly, with a rare melancholy and contemplation, as if making a difficult choice in this desolate place.
She stopped at the edge of the woods and glanced sideways in their direction.
The girl's eyes, filled with complex emotions, appeared extremely mature and calm.
But she was met with Ishikawa Hayato's crisp and decisive voice.
"Stop! Kita, you're looking at the camera unnaturally again."
The group wasn't just idly going to the countryside in weather where they might get soaked.
Now that the demo CD is ready, making a music video for the song can not only promote the CD sales, but also help people get to know the artists better and leave a stronger impression on the public.
To put it noblely, it's for art; to put it bluntly, it's for massive CD sales, and subsequently, massive ticket sales.
"Hayato-kun, you're too strict!"
Upon hearing Ishikawa Hayato's words, Kita's expression instantly shifted from melancholy to desperate anger, and he turned completely around, yelling at him with all his might.
If Kita, who embodies hard work and youthfulness, has been driven to this state, one can only imagine how excessive Ishikawa Hayato must have been.
But he showed no mercy, pointing at her with the rolled-up shooting schedule and responding emphatically.
"We can't abandon strict standards just because they're not professional actors! It's much easier to be strict now and achieve perfection than to regret it later after it's released."
When Ishikawa Hayato enters his "pervert mode," he goes all out. Although he can't be lewd for certain reasons, he still fights for the art in his heart!
"That sounds nice!"
Kita, tears streaming down his face.
But when she saw Ishikawa Hayato smirking, she immediately turned angry and asked him a question.
"You're not just trying to play a trick on me, are you?"
Ishikawa Hayato immediately stopped smiling; he held the camera in one hand and exuded confidence, appearing extremely professional.
"No, no, I'm taking this music video very seriously. Kita, you should take it seriously too."
"I've already been very serious."
Kita of tears, but after complaining for a moment, she obediently listened to Ishikawa Hayato's instructions and began recording.
Near the woods not far from them, Nijika, Hitori, and Liang leaned against a tree, watching the two people working hard in the distance.
Even though they were just watching, they felt themselves starting to get tired.
Nijika looked over there, feeling a chill in her heart. She spoke as if comforting the two of them, and also as if comforting herself.
"Kita- chan is the kind of person who instinctively seeks out the camera; people like us who don't care about the camera at all don't get as tired."
The three of them haven't been filmed yet; they'll be filmed after Kita's Kita ends.
"Big... probably a night raid, group six nine. four nine '③ six one three five won't." Hitori's voice was tense and trembling slightly.
"They might find problems elsewhere, Falcon... it seems a bit too strict."
He got excited.
Liang affirmed succinctly.
The sense of security that Nijika had painstakingly built up was instantly shattered by these two.
She subtly stepped back, speaking in a low voice as if threatening Ishikawa Hayato.
"Phew, he dragged us into taking photos for two days and refused to let me find reinforcements from other places. If the final result isn't good, I'm going to assign him all the cleaning work this year!"
But her voice was probably only audible to the two people next to her.
Despite their complaints, the four of them let Ishikawa Hayato do whatever he wanted, even though he had no idea about the actual filming techniques.
They all came out to film with him thinking that even if he messed it up, it wouldn't matter, at most they could find some reinforcements and reshoot in a few days.
In fact, he had already exhausted the four of them for a whole day, and they had already finished filming all the group shots, leaving only individual shots.
It was alright before, but when it came to individual scenes, Ishikawa Hayato's strictness increased several times over.
In his words...
"Everyone looks beautiful in group shots, and I'm handsome too, so viewers usually don't know where to look. As long as the overall picture is fine and the expressions and clothing details are okay, it's fine."
"But! In a single-player scene, the character is definitely locked, so there can't be any mistakes!"
While the three were talking, Kita began filming again, countless times.
"Start!"
Watching Kita, who had already reacted instinctively to Ishikawa Hayato's words and quickly immersed herself in the role, even her back view exuding Kita, the three of them began to wonder if she was a national-level actress whose talent had been wasted on a band.
But after several seconds, just when they thought the shot was definitely going to work, there was another sound.
"Click!"
In the three people's sight, Kita squatted down on the spot after hearing the voice, holding his head as if he was about to cry.
They both shuddered.
"You demon!"
The cold voice was tinged with fear.
Nijika was even more nervous because she was next, and she had the illusion that she was waiting in line to die.
She glanced at the two people beside her and noticed that they seemed to be getting too tense. She put aside her own feelings, ignored what was happening there, and turned to look at the two of them.
Seeing that Hitori had finally changed out of all her sportswear, she smiled and said to Hitori.
"It's refreshing to see Bocchi-chan wearing anything other than sportswear. Even in dark-colored clothes, she looks especially cute."
"Ah, um... thank you."
Hitori shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Nijika sensed Hitori something else had changed, and felt that this added cuteness wasn't just because of the change of clothes.
She looked him over again with Hitori slightly tense expression, then exclaimed in surprise.
"Wait a minute, hasn't Bocchi-chan gotten shorter too?"
"Well, before the shoot, Falcon said his bangs would look better if they were trimmed a little..."
Hitori answered honestly.
"Did he also request the clothing?" Liang asked.
"Yes." Hitori nodded.
Nijika thought back to last night when Ichiri was working, Hitori still wearing his sportswear as usual. She thought that Ishikawa Hayato would use this opportunity to get Hitori to change his habit of wearing sportswear.
She said with slight surprise.
"Oh... I see. But it's a bit surprising that Hayato-kun didn't ask Bocchi-chan to wear anything else during the shoot."
Hitori lowered his head, as if he hesitated, yet also as if he smiled happily.
