"Although it's six months ahead of schedule, would you two like to join the Service Department? I'll work on changing your awkward personalities."

"You're really something, Yukinoshita-san, to be able to say you want to change others without even caring. I think the first person you need to change is yourself."

"I'm willing!" Yui Yuigahama suddenly said very seriously, "Although the club name and the light novel's name are a bit strange, when I was reading the light novel a couple of days ago, I had a strange feeling that this was the future. So, I want to join."

Don't talk to me in such a serious tone. You're forcing me to join too.

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was watching him menacingly from behind, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was expressionless in front of him, and Yui Yuigahama, who was looking at him expectantly. He let out a long sigh.

"Alright... But, was the Service Club established in the first year of high school? So, if I hadn't joined the Service Club, you wouldn't have been sitting alone in the club room for a whole year, would you?"

"Hachigaya-kun, please don't equate the fantasies in novels with reality."

But you've been sitting here doing nothing since April, that can't be wrong, right?

After thinking it over, Hachiman Hikigaya did not say those words aloud.

Chapter 58 The "Delusional Student Council" Project Established

In early October, two days before the broadcast of the two new works, Musashino Entertainment was busy with new projects.

Nevertheless, actual preparations began as early as last week.

Today, the preliminary preparations are basically complete.

During the morning meeting, after a detailed report on the project plans for the two new animations, Yuka Okitsu asked again:

"President, there's nothing wrong with Rose Eyes, but is it really okay to ask for authorization from the Student Council of Delusions?"

"Also, since there are real people involved, why not have the actual person provide the voice acting, like in K-On!?"

“The licensing is no problem. I’ve streamlined the script and shown it to the person in charge.” Masamune paused. “Forget about the voice acting; let’s find professional voice actors. After all, this anime is quite special.”

In that instant, Yasuyuki Takeuchi seemed to realize something and tentatively asked:

"Could the script that the president showed to the parties involved have missed the essence of this animation?"

"Haha... there's nothing we can do about it."

Masamune naturally knew what he was talking about. There were many essential elements of the student council, but the most memorable was undoubtedly the endless stream of suggestive remarks.

Saying such things in private with acquaintances is fine, but having the person involved do the voice-over is tantamount to public execution, and they would never agree to that.

Turning his head, Takeuchi Yasuyuki noticed that Kinoshita Seiichi was staring intently at him, and quickly hugged the script of the delusional student council to his chest.

"I won't give it to you! I'll be producing this animation; that's already agreed upon."

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have brought you back."

"It's too late to regret now."

"Oh... my heart aches so much!"

Kinoshita Seiichi clutched his chest. Although the original author was very cooperative and often communicated with him on the phone, Rose Eyes was still not particularly outstanding.

As a shoujo manga, the subject matter was limited, and given that I am, after all, a man, the production difficulty of this anime was considerable.

Moreover, no matter how well-made it is, it is difficult to compare with the ingenious Student Council of Delusions.

Ultimately, stories that skillfully skirt the edge of legality while avoiding crossing any boundaries are inherently captivating.

Not being able to make that animation is definitely a regret of my life.

At that moment, Aoi Miyamori noticed her name in the project proposal and couldn't help but stand up.

"What's wrong, Miyamori?"

"President, my name is on the production director's list for the Student Council of Delusions."

"Yes, with the experience gained from those two animations, and with your abilities and connections, you're pretty much ready to take on the role of production manager. Is there a problem?"

"Is it really okay for me to do it?"

"Do you believe in yourself, or do you lack confidence in yourself?"

"That's not it."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Miyamori Aoi gradually made up her mind.

"I understand! Director Takeuchi, please take care of me from now on."

"Me too, please take good care of me, Ms. Miyamori." Takeuchi Yasuyuki stood up and returned the greeting. "There are very few women in the animation industry, and even fewer who can persevere. I have been watching Ms. Miyamori's efforts for the past few months, and I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the next three months."

Are there few women in the animation industry?

Thinking of the large number of women within Musashino, Aoi Miyamori looked surprised, then pondered the situation at other animation companies.

To be fair, other companies do have more men.

"I'll do my best."

......

After the project script was finalized, the first thing to determine before creating the storyboard was the character design.

Looking at the character design drawn by Mashiro on Musashino Sanro, Masamune fell into deep thought.

Her drawings are beautiful, but they are still somewhat different from those of the other students in the student council.

"Mashiro, let's stop for a moment and go to Sakura Academy together. With a real person as a reference, the drawing should turn out better."

"A real-life version of Amakusa Shino and Nanajo Sora?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this conversation, Ogasawara Rinko and Yasuhara Ema stood up almost simultaneously.

The two exchanged a glance, and Ogasawara Rinko spoke first:

"President, please let us go with you."

"I'm not quite sure about the personalities of the four main characters in this animation."

"If I could see them in person, I should be able to capture their spirit in a painting."

“Me too.” Yasuhara Ema nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let's go together then."

Masamune smiled and responded, then suddenly noticed Ogasawara Rinko's Gothic Lolita outfit and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you going to change clothes?"

“No need. I don’t see anything shameful about this outfit.” Ogasawara Rinko said without hesitation.

"You're amazing too."

He actually dared to wander around the streets wearing this outfit.

It's fine to do this in an animation, but wearing this outfit in real life will definitely turn heads.

......

Sakuragaoka Private Academy was converted from an all-girls school to a co-educational school two years ago due to insufficient enrollment.

Even today, female students still constitute an overwhelming majority of the student body.

dong dong...

Takatoshi Tsuda, who was busy at work, heard the noise outside the door and quickly ran to open it.

"Huh...? President Hayase."

"You're all here, that's great."

Upon entering the room and seeing that all four of them were there, Masamune slightly stepped aside to allow Mashiro and the other two behind him to pass.

"This is our company's animation director, Shiina Mashiro, and this is our animation supervisor, Ogasawara Rinko. In order to finalize the character designs for the male and female leads, we would like to visit the student council."

“Personally, I have no objection.” Takatoshi Tsuda shifted his gaze to the others.

"Welcome, I have no objection, after all, it's something we agreed on beforehand."

Amakusa Shino stood up, greeted everyone, and asked curiously:

"Specifically, what do we need to do?"

Masamune leaned closer to Mashiro, whispered a few words in her ear, and then smiled:

"Please treat us like we don't exist. You can continue working as usual. We will take a few photos as needed based on the situation."

"In addition, considering the authenticity of the background, we may need to visit the school buildings and various clubs."

“No problem.” Amakusa Shino nodded slightly. “Tsuda, you’ll take them around for a walk later.”

"Okay, but why me?"

"Because you're the male lead, you have the most screen time in the story, the harem king Tsuda Takatoshi."

Tsuda Takatoshi was speechless. He couldn't refute the previous points, but where did the harem come from?

The story of Seitokai Yakuindomo is told from the perspective of the characters themselves. Although it might seem a bit boring from the perspective of the characters themselves, it is still an anime that can be broadcast on television.

The school believes this will promote the school and increase student enrollment, and they unanimously agree.

As for the four of us, since the other party paid us, it was only right that we cooperated.

"My house is also part of the story. Do you want to come to my house after school this afternoon?"

"Is that alright? Thank you, then I'll trouble you."

Masamune lowered his head slightly, unconsciously thinking:

The four of them are working together very well now. I wonder what their expressions will be when they see the endless stream of erotic scenes that were cut from the script after the animation airs.

Considering that anime is evaluated once a quarter, after revisions, the first season of Seitokai Yakuindomo only has 12 episodes.

If the quality is excellent, it will continue to the fourth and fifth seasons.

This is not a one-off deal; rather, it's a long-term commitment.

Now they just hope that once the animation is broadcast and evaluated, the rewards they receive will be exactly what they want, enough to outweigh their dissatisfaction.

If all else fails, we'll negotiate again later.

In fact, Masamune had also hoped for a scene where Amakusa Shino and the other three would agree to the script without any concern for the script.
