I'll give my daughter one more second.

In any case, in order to prevent the future disappearance of the daughter, the first thing to do is to raise the favorability of all the "suspected mothers" to the point where they are willing to date her anytime she confesses her feelings.

Furthermore, we must do everything we can to avoid situations like chaotic battles, love triangles, catfights, and even the use of weapons.

As for what happens after that, we'll consider that later; right now, it's all still very uncertain. Our top priority right now is ensuring our daughters don't disappear!

As a single man whose single history equals his age, Wu Shen felt a bit of a headache about having to perform such a difficult and precise operation right from the start.

He actually wanted to use Mai or Yoru as support units. But rather than helping, these two were more inclined to make things worse, especially Yoru, whose personality meant she couldn't keep any secrets. Mai, when excited, was also prone to inadvertently letting slip secrets. Last night's doujinshi incident perfectly proved this point.

As it turns out, it's not the formidable opponents you should fear, but the incompetent teammates.

"Hey, can't you give me a few good teammates? Is it really okay for me to fight alone?" Wu Shen felt immense pressure.

"Please pray I don't meet a bad ending," Wu Shen sighed, and slowly walked into the campus.

Chapter 153 Gay and Gay

After Wu Shen and Xue Nai parted ways and entered their classroom, they found Ying Qi and Lun Ye gathered together near their seats.

Besides them, there was also a boy who didn't originally belong in this classroom.

Judging from that muscular physique and spiky gray hair, even without seeing his face, Wu Shen could roughly guess who the other person was.

"Wu Shen, you're here. Everyone's been waiting for you." Lun Ye, who was facing the classroom door, was the first to spot Wu Shen as he entered the classroom, and he greeted him loudly without any regard for others.

This immediately drew the attention of the entire class. After all, he had been at the center of the rumors recently, and had already received a lot of attention.

"Don't shout like that, it's not like I can't see you." Wu Shen sighed and quickly moved closer.

And so a small group of four was formed.

"Hahaha, Wu Shen! I've been waiting for this fateful encounter for so long!" The boy turned around and shouted in a voice even more exaggerated than Biren's, while striking a very chuunibyou (delusional) pose.

"What fateful encounter? In the end, you're not even a student in this class, are you?" Wu Shen sat down in his seat, put down his backpack, and then looked at the guy in front of him with his chin in his hand.

Yoshiteru Zaimoto wasn't in the same class as Wu Shen and the others, but because they were all ACG enthusiasts, they kept in touch online quite often. This was the first time Wu Shen had seen him in his class.

"Don't be so cold! You're my best friend! Please call me by my first name; there's no need to be so formal with my surname."

"Who are you? I don't know you." Wu Shen turned his face away.

"Ugh... I've been rejected." Yingqi shrugged with a wry smile.

"Please don't speak in that gay tone." Wu Shen looked up at him. "Mainly, if I call you by your name, you'll start acting like a chuunibyou again, right? Like you're the reincarnation of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the thirteenth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate."

"How can the affairs of scholars be called chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? As reincarnated beings who have traveled through time, you and I should have something in common!" Zaimokuza continued excitedly, making exaggerated gestures with his limbs.

"I don't remember ever having a 'reincarnation' setting." Wu Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looking helplessly at the wood base.

"Aren't you the reincarnation of Wu Qi, the military strategist from the Warring States period? What happened to your grand promise to conquer the world together?!"

"According to your setup, we're more than a thousand years apart..." Wu Shen complained helplessly.

"Then let's rise up against the tyranny of the Qin state, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and ask, 'Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?'" After a moment's thought, Cai Muzuo changed his tune.

"That's more than a thousand years different too..." Wu Shen lay on the table, too lazy to continue complaining.

Even if this guy wants to act like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), couldn't he at least do some research on Chinese history before doing this? And don't just randomly assign yourself the surname Wu. If all else fails, saying you're the Dark Flame Envoy or a mad scientist would be better than spouting nonsense.

People always yearn for the extraordinary, which is probably why we have "chuunibyou" (adolescent delusions of grandeur). But they often overlook one point: even if extraordinary people or things do exist in reality, and extraordinary events do occur, their experiences are by no means as beautiful and desirable as depicted in anime.

Humans are such frustrating creatures; when living an ordinary life, we yearn for the extraordinary. Only after venturing into the extraordinary do we realize that what is most precious is actually the seemingly boring and dull daily life.

"Compared to these trivial matters, what important things do you have to do?" Unable to bear watching him continue rambling, Wu Shen changed the subject first.

Timber rarely comes to the classroom to see them directly. So, there must be something he wants to discuss with them today.

"I almost forgot about the important thing. Actually, I came here today hoping that my close friends could help me review my light novel manuscript." Zaimokuza said, taking a stack of printed documents out of his bag and placing them in front of everyone.

"Oh? Yoshiaki, you've actually started writing light novels? That's really intriguing." Tomoya pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and picked up a copy with great interest, quickly flipping through it.

It seems that Aki Tomoya was the most curious of the group, which is understandable, as Tomoya has always been exceptionally interested in these kinds of things. Especially since it's his friend's work.

Wu Shen had experience as a light novel critic for Shi Yu, so he picked up a copy and glanced at the title.

The light novel created by Zaimokuza seems to be called "Sword Saint Academy Series - The Illusory Phantom of White Blade Flash: Black Oak Chapter".

Wow... this naming style is definitely a commercially exploitative light novel. Whether it's Chinese online novels or Japanese light novels, after a long period of development, there will always be mass-produced works that deliberately cater to the reader market with commercially exploitative formulas.

If the naming style of the light novel "Zaimokuza" were applied to web novels, it would probably be something like "King of Soldiers XXX", "XX's Bodyguard", "Medical Saint XX", "School Beauty XXX", "Rich Young Lady XXX", or "Online Game XXX"...

Of course, this is just an analogy of naming methods. As for whether the content is also formulaic, we'll only know after watching it.

"May I ask, what kind of story are you writing with this ambiguous naming method?" Wu Shen asked.

"Haha! You've hit the nail on the head!" Timber Seat suddenly became excited and began to slowly explain.

"The foundation of this story lies in a spatial rift, known as the Dimension Driver. Ultimately, the World Government decides that access to the Akashic Records is permitted, and then the heroine wields the divine hammer Gungnir!"

"Wait, isn't Gungnir the spear of the mythical Odin? When did it become a hammer? And what's with all these meaningless English words..." Wu Shen complained.

The novel written by Zaimokuza, in terms of genre, is a school-themed supernatural combat story. A world rife with undercurrents, then an ordinary, seemingly unremarkable boy suddenly awakens his hidden abilities and swiftly defeats them—it's a spectacular tale.

However, the numerous ambiguous proper nouns, the clichéd character designs, and the blind self-indulgence—this guy really committed countless authorial taboos right from the start.

If Shiyu's writing level is a 6, then Zaimokuza is probably only a 2 or 3. The difference in skill level is too great. They're not even in the same league.

"I'd like to submit this for the next Newcomer Award. Before that, could I ask my close friends to read it and give me some advice?"

Wu Shen hesitated for a moment, because based on his extensive experience, he judged that this light novel was basically beyond saving, and he was pessimistic about the possibility of it winning the Zaimokuza Award. It would be a miracle if this kind of light novel were even published. However, Wu Shen didn't want to dampen the other party's enthusiasm so quickly.

The more novice a writer is, the more devastating the setbacks will be. If they are even slightly fragile, they may give up on trying to write again forever.

Wu Shen had originally intended to refuse outright, to avoid his comments hurting Caimuzuo. However, holding the manuscript in his hand, Wu Shen suddenly had an idea.

Why not take this manuscript to the Service Club as a test subject and let Shiwa and Yukino comment on it? Wu Shen had always been worried about what would happen if Yukino and Shiwa disagreed when discussing Shiwa's second volume of the novel.

Now that we have a test subject to evaluate their actions, and it also helps the timber company relay a couple more comments, why not?

Although it is definitely a sharp and scathing critique.

Because Wu Shen had the impression that Cai Muza was not good at talking to girls, he decided not to let him meet Shi Yu and the others directly, but to let Wu Shen act as a relay station.

Moreover, keeping it a secret has another advantage: if these three buddies find out that they can contact Utaha and Yukino every day and that they have a pretty good relationship with them, they might accidentally trigger their FFF spirit and give them a good beating.

"Light novels? I've been wanting to try commenting on them for a while now." Tomoya touched his black-rimmed glasses and said somewhat impatiently.

"As a well-known light novel review blogger, I'm really looking forward to Tomoya's comments!" Zaimokuza seems to have a similar carefree personality to Tomoya.

"Although I've been staying up late lately researching online game content, I'll make time to watch it." Yingqi is the kind of guy who thinks of his friends. Even though his own schedule is already very tight, he still can't bear to refuse his friend's request.

"I'll take a look too," Wu Shen said, holding the printed copy. "By the way, Cai Muzuo, do you have any other spare copies of novels?"

"Because I was worried about something going wrong, I made three or four extra copies. Is there anything wrong?" Cai Muzuo said, taking out a thick stack of bound photocopies from his backpack.

“I happen to know a few friends who write light novels. If you don’t mind, I can get a few for them to take a look at and give their opinions,” Wu Shen suggested.

"R-really?" Upon hearing the news, Zaimokuza excitedly grabbed Wu Shen's shoulders. "You're so considerate of me, you truly are my best friend! Take the rest!"

"Well... just don't let the harsh comments get to you. Good luck, Zaimokuza." Wu Shen patted him on the shoulder, not saying anything explicitly, but simply giving him an encouraging look.

Meanwhile, at Wu Shen's home, Wu Yi, Yu Yin, and Ye Ge were sitting together.

"Why did you call me here?" Yu Yin asked curiously.

"Of course it happened last night. You haven't forgotten, have you? Although your brothers were distracted by your sisters' fight and temporarily forgot about it, what if they remember it sometime later? Wouldn't we be in trouble then?" Mai slapped the table, adopting a leader's demeanor.

As the leader of the loli group, Mai has everything she needs, except for a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

“Making a doujinshi with my brother as the main character, plus that kind of plot, if he finds out, we're really doomed.” Mai pouted. “That’s why I called everyone here for an emergency operational meeting to resolve the crisis!”

Chapter 154 The Loli's Cuteness

"Ah...that is indeed a problem." Upon hearing Mai's words, Amane finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Because she spent the entire morning thinking about her mother's plan to win over her father, she neglected to make the notebook.

"So what do we do now? Isn't the meeting starting yet?" Yu Yin asked anxiously.

"Don't rush, there's still one member of the production team who hasn't arrived yet." Wu Yi said, taking out Wu Shen's phone and waving it. "I called her about half an hour ago, she should be here soon."

Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door: "Mai, I'm here~~"

"That's Yueyin's voice?" Yuyin was stunned for a moment, then immediately recognized it as Yueyin's voice. For various reasons, Yuyin probably paid the most attention to Yueyin.

Upon opening the door, they were greeted by Yueyin, who appeared to be well-mannered, wearing a lace-trimmed dress, white children's tights, and red leather shoes on her little feet.

Unlike usual, this time she was also carrying a bag that looked quite large.

"What's in the bag?" Yu Yin asked curiously.

"It'll be a secret for now, you'll find out soon," Yueyin said with a smile.

"Hmph! Now everyone's here! I declare the first Emergency Operation Meeting against Brother officially open!" Mai waved her little hand, but the other lolis looked at each other in silence, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Just as Mai was feeling a little embarrassed, Tsukine clapped her hands first: "Well said! Clap clap clap!"

Soon enough, Yuyin and Yege followed suit and started clapping, and the room was filled with sparse "clap clap clap" sounds.

"Hmph!" Mai initially raised her head proudly, seemingly enjoying the atmosphere of being surrounded by applause, but she quickly realized that something was still off.
