Chapter 494

Eriri raised her chin and tilted her head arrogantly as she made the suggestion.

Unlike others, she had her own club early on: Egoistic-Lily, which was established with the help of her parents and whose main task was to help her sell her doujinshi.

"Join my Egoistic..."

"Turn down."

Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted and refused without hesitation.

"Gurgle...!"

"What good would joining your Doujinshi circle do for us? It would only leave a stain on my reputation that I can never wash away."

"Waaaa... Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

She roared at her, filled with shame and anger, but also knew that her line of work was indeed shady.

Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored her reaction and pondered seriously, "If we really want to join a club, it would be better for Talent-kun to create a new one and then put the game under his name. That way, we can immediately gain recognition."

"From a long-term career planning perspective, this is the best approach."

"That..."

Wearing a lace-trimmed Maid Outfit, Kato Megumi raised her right hand. "Can clubs be established outside of school?"

"Hmm? Sure, but it's a serious business group focused on planning and missions, quite different from the small-scale operations at school."

"Oh, that's amazing!"

"That might be true for people who haven't entered the industry, but it's actually quite common."

"I see!"

The topic gradually veered towards something surprisingly serious, and after a while, no definite decision was reached. For him, it didn't matter whether it was valid or not, but if it was to be valid, coming up with a name would be a troublesome matter.

He played some visual novels with Kato Megumi for a while, watched some DVDs Eriri had bought, and stayed there for two hours until Shiina Mashiro said she was a little sleepy and had to go back. Only then did he and Aoyama Nanami say goodbye.

"Um, Young Master..."

"What's wrong, Nanami?"

While waiting for the elevator, he glanced at Aoyama Nanami, who had spoken.

"Has anything happened between you and Miss Wangzhong and Ms. Satsuki recently?"

Aoyama Nanami stared at him suspiciously, her eyes gleaming.

"... No, why do you ask that?"

"No, it just feels a little strange. Lately, when Ms. Satsuki mentioned you..."

She frowned in distress, unsure how to describe it, especially today, when her aura seemed particularly strange, yet she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"And it seems she and Miss Wangzhong have had a conflict recently."

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Well, because she asked me and the others to keep an eye on Miss Wangzhong's movements and tell her, I guessed that was it..."

"I see. I told you too. But it's just a minor issue; we'll probably make up in a while."

"That's good enough..."

"Okay! Alright, you and Mashiro should go back together. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself!"

"Alright, Young Master, you too..."

She felt a warm glow inside from his care.

Lately, the Young Master has been surrounded by more and more girls, which is bothering her a bit. But the Young Master is still the Young Master, and he's not so easy to win over! Even that superhuman Miss Wangzhong seems to have failed!

As she felt relieved, her anxiety grew stronger. What kind of outstanding girl could possibly catch the Young Master's eye...?

Ding~ The elevator arrived, and he watched the two of them enter first.

One hour later.

Sakurakoji Talent opened the door to the top-floor room, his gaze wicked and menacing as he stared at the beautiful woman who had just emerged from the bath, her body enveloped in steam.

Her skin was moist, fair, and delicate, so smooth and flawless that it looked so tempting that you wanted to take a bite.

With her curvaceous figure and ample curves, she instinctively arouses the most primal desires in the opposite sex.

Her long, ink-black hair was swept up to her waist, and her bright red eyes exuded a natural allure. In her captivating glances, a blend of maturity and youthful innocence wove together a delightful symphony... This woman was none other than Kasumigaoka Utaha only recently parted ways with.

While they were downstairs, he secretly slipped the elevator card into her private area. With her intelligence, she clearly understood his meaning.

"Good evening, Senpai Utaha ~"

He chuckled and took a step back, letting her into the entryway, but his eyes never left her.

Unlike her formal attire not long ago, she was now wearing pajamas that had been prepared in advance.

The pure white silk fabric wrapped around her exquisitely beautiful figure—slim where she should be, and voluptuous where she should be—without an ounce of excess fat, perfectly complementing her healthy, radiant skin. This quickly earned his respect.

His gaze unconsciously swept across the middle... Hmm, how bold! No wonder she's so bold!

Did you think no one would be around at night, so you took the risk? Or did you specifically observe the elevator's operation for five minutes to make sure it was safe before coming over?

He quickly pieced together the events of the previous few minutes in his mind.

"Good evening, Talent-kun..."

Under his unrestrained gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a mixture of shame, anger, and delight, and looked away, unable to meet his eyes.

She turned her attention to the furnishings in the room, observing them with curiosity—this was the first time she had ever been to his room.

The room's fragrance, similar to his own scent, was subtle yet ancient, with an overwhelming presence—like the natural aroma of wood and incense mingling in an old temple.

Of course, this doesn't mean his room actually smelled like that; it's just an example.

Smells good and feels reassuring – that was Kasumigaoka Utaha's first impression.

She blinked in confusion. Weren't boys' rooms supposed to be dirty and messy? Why was this room so neat and clean, and even smelled more enticing than hers?

Although she knew that Talent-kun was completely different from ordinary boys, and that Nanami and the Nanami usually helped with cleaning.

But this high-rated room, tonight, seemed like a den of dragons and tigers... She secretly glanced at him and met his extremely aggressive gaze.

"!!!"

She blushed and quickly moved away, as if she had been burned.

"Thanks..."

She put on the slippers he handed her and thanked him softly.

You're welcome!

Sakurakoji Talent took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender, snake-like waist, hugging her from behind and inhaling her fragrance deeply.

Suddenly trapped, Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed and stiffened, instinctively twisting her body, but as she moved—she dared not move any further, her body becoming as hot as the person behind her.

"Senpai Utaha looks so beautiful tonight~ You smell wonderful too, and you're dressed so charmingly, are you going on a date with someone?"

He moved his Hands, which were resting on her flat stomach, upwards and then stopped.

"... Yes, yes, I'm going on a date with a bad guy, it'll be..."

Halfway through her sentence, she let out a soft cry, a low moan that would stir the heart of anyone who heard it.

"Oh, I see. That bastard is really lucky. Who could it be?"

He turned her around, lowered his head, and began to straighten her clothes.

"No, I don't know... Talent-kun, you can't be here..."

"There's no such thing as a deep Kansai, anyway, this place is just a nest, and even in the midst of fighting wolves, there's delicious food..."

For some reason, his voice was slurred, and it was almost impossible to understand what he was saying.

"That's what they say... Ah~!"

A chill ran through her body, Kasumigaoka Utaha instinctively gasped softly, her eyes brimming with tears, the love and amazement within them frozen and unyielding.

Her boyfriend was wearing similar clothes, and although there was no obvious dampness on his body, it was clear that he had also taken a shower and looked even more radiant than usual.

If his gaze hadn't been so intense, she would never have been able to look away.

But it was too late; she gave up, her pearly teeth pursing her soft, pink lips, her expression one of resolute devotion...

She let that scoundrel bully her while uttering meaningless and offensive words.

"Senpai Utaha ~ I'll help you, so Eriri can never laugh at you again, okay?"

"..."

"What beautiful colors!"

"..."

"Senpai Utaha ~ Did you brush your teeth before you came? That's so sweet~ But don't worry about it, you're fine as you are."

"..."

"Senpai Utaha ~ This is an outfit I came up with on a whim and specially prepared for you. Try it on and see if it fits."

Kasumigaoka Utaha could no longer maintain her ostrich-like posture. Looking at the black-clad figure before her, she stammered, hugging herself, "This, this is a rabbit, a rabbit... Talent-kun ~ Why did you prepare this...?"

"Hmph~ Of course, it's because it's better to be prepared~"

Sakurakoji Talent looked down at her with a mocking expression, holding the same outfit as Sakurajima Mai in his hand.

After meeting Sakurajima Mai last time, he started preparing as soon as he finished his seclusion—he even prepared several pieces in different sizes.

What I'm giving her now is just one of the items in the wardrobe...

"Please, please, Senpai Utaha ~"

He took her delicate arm and swayed it playfully, while also taking a moment to admire the beautiful scenery.

"But this is too..."

"Didn't you say you'd do anything for me? Were you lying to me?! How could you do this..."

"No...! Okay, fine..."

"Yay! As expected of my Senpai Utaha! Let's not delay any longer..."

"Um, Talent-kun, that fabric is also..."

"Then don't worry about it."

"..."

Chapter 452 The Vision of Being Wealthy Enough to Rival a Nation.

In the dead of night.

When 99% of the people in this city—though not quite that high, given it's a metropolis—are night owls, the number is astonishing.

While 90% of the city's inhabitants fell into slumber, Sakurakoji Talent continued his great work.

In front of him was a computer monitor with a bright, fluorescent white light;

Behind her was her older sister, who was exhausted from exercise and had fallen asleep.

This shows that the physical strength of office workers and students these days is really poor!

Especially for Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others, not only are they office workers, but they are also students and serious sufferers in the otaku world—the debuffs are practically stacked to the max! They are extremely sedentary, which makes it even more so.

Tsk tsk tsk, I'll have to keep an eye on him in the future, otherwise his health is really too poor, fainting every time in less than an hour.

Of the several so far, she is undoubtedly the weakest in terms of physical strength.

Hoshino Ai's daily training volume is probably equivalent to that of Momoka Kawara in a month; although Kawaragi Momoka is not as good as Hoshino Ai, the exertion of training with an instrument is also considerable.

Even the seemingly delicate Shiina Mahiru... don't forget, her athletic performance is the best among all the girls in the school.

Even though Ouka Mai and Koto Satsuki aren't that close yet, one is an all-around athlete and the other is a poor girl who seems like a literary girl. They walk to and from school by train every day and also work part-time.

After finishing some of his work, he got up and picked up the various fabrics and clothes scattered on the floor and bed, tidied them up, and put them aside.

I have to say, the clothes from the Sakurajima Mai collaboration are really amazing!

Compared to usual, he definitely needs to be more... cough cough um~
