My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

"Zhenwu, maybe the author was afraid you'd stab him and make him reform," Kurose Izumi said jokingly.

"Haha, what are you saying?" Hirasawa Shinbu laughed and patted Kurose Izumi on the shoulder.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "By the way, isn't your club called the Animation Research Department? You research games?"

“Yes, we were planning to make a visual novel.” Kurose Izumi nodded, turning to look at Shiraishi Chiren. “Chiren is in charge of the script and music, I’m the scriptwriter, and Inari is the illustrator.”

Hirasawa Shinbu's eyes widened in surprise. "No way? Really? You can write screenplays?"

"You brat... Do you think I have bad grades? Who do you think you are!"

"No... I thought the class monitor would be in charge of the script, after all, she has the best grades in the country."

Hirasawa Shinbu glanced at Shiraishi Chiren, who was also staring at him with a slight frown, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... that they've figured something out?

Fortunately, Shiraishi Chiren just stared at him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Hirasawa Mabu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Izumi, I didn't expect you to know anything about scripts. Have you ever written one?"

"Ah... um... this..."

Faced with the sudden question, Kurose Izumi stammered and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Shiraishi Chiren joined the conversation to help him out: "Izumi wrote it before, but I felt it was too embarrassing to show it to others, so please understand, Hirasawa-kun."

"Is that so? Haha, I get it, I get it. I wrote one before, and looking back now, I feel quite ashamed..."

Hirasawa Shinbu smiled and nodded, but suddenly felt nervous.

If Shiraishi Chiren realizes something is wrong at this point and stops him from continuing, things will get very complicated later.

"You wrote that too?" Kurose Izumi asked, looking surprised. "What was it like?"

"This is too embarrassing to say directly," Hirasawa Shinbu said, scratching his head with a serious tone.

It's not that it's hard to say, it's just that I feel if I say it now, the subsequent developments will definitely be very bad!

Because—a hint of coldness had crept into Shiraishi Chiren's eyes.

Her gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing straight at Hirasawa Shinbu, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns and unable to sit still!

Hirasawa Shinbu had a gut feeling that if he said another word, Shiraishi Chiren would turn on him in an instant!

This is the limit he can say now.

Even so, Shiraishi Chiren would still talk to him privately afterwards, warning him not to try anything funny!

Hirasawa Shinbu had considered contacting Kurose Izumi alone or sending him a message, but that might lead to Shiraishi Chiren following and intercepting him.

He only has one chance to speak; if he doesn't seize it, there won't be a next time!

This time, although he didn't finish speaking, he left an opportunity to bring it up again later.

Hirasawa Shinbu will definitely make Kurose Izumi understand that Shiraishi Chiren is Kuchiki Fuyuko!

Therefore, he wouldn't mind taking even one risk!

114. Delusion will eventually be shattered.

During lunch break, Shiraishi Chiren asked Kurose Izumi to go to the Animal Research Club first, while she found Hirasawa Mabu and asked to meet him alone.

In a secluded spot in the school's central courtyard, Shiraishi Chiren's face was grim, her heart filled with barely suppressed anger.

She looked at Hirasawa Shinbu and slowly asked, "What did you want to say this morning?"

"It's nothing, just saying. What's wrong?" Hirasawa Shinbu looked puzzled, but inwardly he had a bad feeling.

"Oh."

Shiraishi Chiren sneered and continued, "Then tell me, what is the name of what you wrote?"

How could she not know what Hirasawa Shinbu was thinking?

She sent it to Kurose Izumi that day; it was from MF Bunko.

Although I didn't search for it carefully, it was a book that had been abandoned for more than half a year and had no reputation whatsoever.

MF Bunko is a company under the Hirasawa Group, so it's hard for her not to suspect that Hirasawa Masato found the original owner and bought all the rights!

The rest is quite simple.

He simply pretended to casually tell Kurose Izumi about the article he wrote, in order to make Kurose Izumi suspect Shiraishi Chiren.

"It's too embarrassing, let's not talk about it?" Hirasawa Shinbu scratched his head and began to play dumb.

"You can keep quiet. But if it's something like 'About My Proposal to the Abyss Lord,' then you'd better shut up!"

After Bai Shiqianlian finished speaking in a cold voice, she turned around and left without lingering for even a moment.

She didn't have time to waste words with Hirasawa Shinbu; she came to him to warn him.

"Have we been discovered...?"

Hirasawa Shinbu watched Shiraishi Chiren's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and murmured to himself.

Being discovered was actually to be expected.

But he will not give up.

'Class monitor, our competition isn't over yet...'

……

On the other side, inside the Student Union building, in the Animal Research Department.

"Kurose-senpai, I've finished reading yours!"

"Oh?"

Kurose Izumi, who was resting her head on her hand and looking idly towards the door while waiting for Shiraishi Chirei, turned her gaze to Inari Yuki.

"how do you feel?"

"Hmm..." Inari Yuki frowned slightly, pondering for a while, "There's a feeling that's unexpected?"

"Where was it unexpected?" Kurose Izumi asked, intrigued.

If Inari Yuki says that the ending is good or bad, he will just laugh it off.

But if it's unexpected, he'll be interested to hear it.

"The ending felt too rushed and forced, didn't it?" Inari Yuki said softly, her head down.

“Yes, it was indeed too forced.” Kurose Izumi nodded. “As for why… it’s because I overturned the original ending and rewrote it.”

"Eh?"

Inari Yuki was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Why do you want to change it?"

"because……"

As soon as Kurose Izumi opened his mouth, the door at the entrance was pulled open, and Shiraishi Chiren walked in.

He immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

"Sorry I'm late." Shiraishi Chiren walked to the birchwood table and nodded to the two of them.

"It's alright, please sit down." Kurose Izumi smiled and shook her head, pulling out a chair for her.

Inari Yuki looked at the two of them but didn't ask any further questions.

And so, the three of them began to eat lunch, chatting intermittently along the way.

The content is mostly about the visual novel game that will be made later.

According to what Shiraishi Chiren described, its core themes are love and mutual redemption.

After lunch, Izumi Kurose began to organize the outline, write down the character designs for the male and female leads, and discuss them with the other two.

The initial concept was that the female protagonist was similar to Princess Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: beautiful, aloof, and immortal.

She has lived in human society for over a thousand years, experiencing countless years and changes in circumstances!

Having witnessed too much life and death, the female protagonist closed herself off and stopped interacting with anyone.

She lived a solitary yet powerful life in a secluded castle in the mountains.

The male protagonist is an ordinary high school student with no special abilities.

The opportunity for him to meet the female lead was when he and his classmates were camping in the mountains, and a sudden fog caused them to get separated.

Naturally, the male protagonist accidentally stumbles upon the castle where the female protagonist lives, and they meet and fall in love.

—A classic and classic development.

To be honest, Izumi Kurose didn't like this kind of plot; he preferred the kind that was unforgettable.

For example, the dark and brutal.

However, he was very interested in the female lead's character design, feeling that she was very similar to Shiraishi Chiren.

After finishing the character designs, Kurose Izumi looked up at the two of them and said, "How about drawing the female lead based on Chirei?"

"Following the example of Shiraishi-senpai..."

Inari Yuki glanced at Shiraishi Chire and nodded her little head vigorously: "It feels very suitable!"

Shiraishi Chiren gives off an impression of being aloof, unapproachable, and withdrawn.

So when Inari Yuki learned that Kurose Izumi and Shiraishi Chire were dating, she was very curious about the reason.

She is clearly an ordinary, unremarkable, and unremarkable person, so why is she the only one who has won the favor of Shiraishi Chiren?

After hearing what Shiraishi Chirei said about the script, Inari Yuki understood something.

Perhaps, love isn't about how outstanding or good-looking the other person is, but rather about a connection of souls.

A relationship with someone who is all show and no substance is ultimately futile and won't last.

But people who are compatible on a spiritual level will have a pleasant and easy time together and can stay together for life.

Just like the upcoming galgame, the female protagonist is an immortal with thousands of years of experience. She knows everything and is knowledgeable about everything, but she still falls in love with the male protagonist.
