"I want to talk to Rita for a while before I go to sleep."

"May I come with both of you? Won't that bother you?"

"As for Rita, I don't mind. The three of us together would be great."

Rita was momentarily confused. She took the blanket and followed Mashiro blankly behind her.

Upon entering the adjacent room, I couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Wow...!"

"What's wrong, Rita?" Mashiro asked, turning around.

"What an amazing room! It's full of gym equipment, just like in the anime. But why didn't they put it in an empty room?"

"For ease of use."

Masamune, who had just finished showering and was walking towards the bedroom in his pajamas, heard this and subconsciously replied:

"If the gym equipment is in another room, I'll be too lazy to go there, but if it's in my own room, I can exercise anytime."

“It’s not that exaggerated, is it?”

"Strict calorie control is essential to maintain your figure."

Masamune offered an explanation, then turned to Mashiro and couldn't help but say:

"Mashiro, Rita's here today, so you don't need to sleep in my room anymore, right?"

"I want the three of us to go together."

"Rita doesn't mind?"

Rita was slightly taken aback, then teased:

"As a price for being taken in, if Masamune-senpai wants to do anything to me, I won't mind."

"You can't do anything, so let's go inside."

Upon entering the bedroom and turning off the lights, Rita found the two simply lying quietly on the bed chatting. Mashiro was in the middle, and apart from their conversation, there was no other sound. Rita was somewhat surprised.

"Um...aren't we going to start?"

"Start what?" Mashiro looked at her in confusion.

"that is…"

Noticing that Rita seemed inclined to elaborate, Masamune cleared his throat and prompted her:

"This is a double bed. Please don't move around too much when you're sleeping, or you might fall off. I'll try to sleep on the side to give you more space."

"Senior Masamune, you don't need to worry about me."

“We didn’t really pay much attention to you. We would just chat for a while, and then wake up the next day.”

"Senior, please don't pretend you don't understand anything. It makes me look stupid."

"You may have misunderstood something. We're not in that kind of relationship. Every day is like this: we chat for a while, and maybe we tell each other some bedtime stories."

At that moment, Rita suddenly realized something, unconsciously covered her face with the blanket, and whispered:

"So, you two just lay together and didn't do anything?"

"That's it, you finally understand."

"If that's the case, why didn't you refuse Mashiro's suggestion that the three of you go together?"

"I'm sorry, I really can't refuse her request."

"When there's delicious food right in front of you, can you resist taking a bite?"

"It's precisely because it's delicious food that I want to take it more seriously. It's not too late to wait until the day of the (wedding) ceremony in two years."

"I'm sorry, senior."

Upon noticing Rita suddenly burrowing into the covers, Mashiro asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, Rita?"

"I'm so ashamed to face anyone. Damn it, I should have pretended not to understand anything. My innocent image is gone forever."

"Haha... Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you." Masamune couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm still a virgin," Rita explained softly.

“Me too,” Mashiro added.

"Don't talk to me at a time like this, it makes me look stupid."

"I don't dislike Rita like this."

"He clearly didn't understand what we were saying, damn it! I'm going to sleep."

Chapter 176 Let's Confess Our Feelings in Winter

As June draws to a close, many anime series that started airing in April have come to an end, and among them, "Chuuni Koi," which just finished its final episode, is undoubtedly one of the best.

Both in terms of sales and popularity, it ranked first this season, while "Barakamon" unexpectedly came in second.

Due to the influence of anime, the concept of "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) has gradually become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Although he has been teased about it countless times, Yuta Togashi, the person involved, still finds it difficult to completely let go of the past.

"Togashi, where did your girlfriend go?"

"Where did I get a girlfriend from?"

"broke up?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You've never even dated, so what makes you think you can break up?"

"Have you fallen for someone else?"

"They all said they weren't dating anymore."

"Dansheng Valley doesn't like you, give up. Takanashi is fine too."

"Stop talking nonsense. Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain everything."

Yuta Togashi sighed helplessly, ignored Makoto Isshiki's curiosity, and silently walked past.

Even though they hadn't confessed their feelings or started dating, everyone around them assumed that they and Rikka were a couple because of the anime.

Even Rikka's older sister and her own parents tacitly acknowledged that the two were engaged.

Damn it, why did it turn out like this?

Or, let's just be straightforward and start dating.

No, it would be incredibly foolish to tie my life to that idiot.

While I was pondering, my cell phone suddenly rang.

Yuta Togashi glanced down and saw that it was Hachiman Hikigaya calling.

"What do you want, Mr. Da?"

"President Hayase asked me to inform you that a celebration banquet will be held at the hotel tomorrow night."

"Why are you the one informing me? Is it a celebration party for something? An animation? What does that have to do with me?"

"Tomorrow is the last day of June. You should be able to gain superpowers during the celebration banquet."

In that instant, Yuta Togashi suddenly felt his heart racing, and his long-forgotten chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) seemed to be gradually reviving.

Superpowers? What a wonderful word.

Not long ago, just six months ago, I was fantasizing wildly about time travel, rebirth, superpowers, and so on.

And now, I'm actually so close to having superpowers.

"It's still uncertain, isn't it? They might get punished. So many people are punished every quarter, there's no point in hoping for this."

The next moment, Hachiman Hikigaya's words, imbued with a great deal of magic, came through the phone:

"None of the Musashino anime with President Hayase involved have a rating below 3 stars."

"And the anime that ranks first in popularity and sales this season will definitely not have a rating of less than 3 stars."

"With Shiina's direction, the art style of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is excellent, the plot is top-notch, and the character designs are also outstanding..."

"I think the rating will most likely be 4 stars, but 4 stars is not impossible."

In that instant, Yuta Togashi suddenly felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

"I wasn't involved in the animation production at all, so the rewards and such shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"

"You, as the male protagonist of the anime, provided the story material, just like I did last year. I didn't participate in the production of the first season of Oregairu, but I gained superpowers."

"Huh...? You have superpowers?"

"Don't act like a savage. In this day and age, who doesn't have some kind of superpower?"

"...I suspect you're showing off to me. What's your superpower?"

"Work efficiency increases significantly when you are alone."

Upon hearing this, Yuta Togashi almost burst out laughing.

But what followed was intense envy.

Will you go tomorrow?

"Yes. Although this quarter's evaluation has nothing to do with me, Musashino will be producing the second season of Oregairu next quarter. Besides, I am also a novelist who writes novels about chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"Thank you."

Why the sudden thank you?

"Actually, I've been secretly blaming you guys. But I never expected to have the chance to gain superpowers, and suddenly I feel that the embarrassment I suffered before was nothing at all. So, I forgive you."

"Let's save that for tomorrow. Oh, and remember to bring your girlfriend tomorrow."

Yuta Togashi was speechless and couldn't help but ask in return:

Why does everyone think I'm dating Rikka?
