In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

You seem really excited, don't you?

And why should we pay money?

What is it that requires paying Kira-kun?

Moreover, he spent 10,000 yen at once, which is no small amount.

Is it...

Zi'an Yan's heart tightened. Could it be?

Kira-kun wouldn't actually be doing that kind of thing, would he?

The legendary Cowherd?

No, probably not!

If it's a male escort, 10,000 yen is a bit too cheap.

With Kira-kun's looks, he'd need at least a million yen!

but……

If it's just a million yen, Kashiwagi Nagisa will definitely be so happy he won't want to leave.

Anyway, with the Kashiwagi family's wealth, spending 1 million yen a day to keep someone as a mistress wouldn't be a problem at all. After all, that's only 365 million yen a year, which is less than a fraction of the annual net profit of the Kashiwagi family's businesses.

She's different. Although her father is a world-class bartender and regional manager of a large catering company, he's nowhere near the size of the Kashiwagi or Shinomiya families. If it were her, she could probably only be kept as a mistress for a year at most…

Ah! No, that's not right! What are you thinking, Tsuyoshi!

How could Kira-kun do such a thing?

It's all Shijou Maki's fault!

I only asked her to help me find some romantic movies and TV series, but she found all sorts of weird stuff, and the male leads were basically all male hosts working at host clubs!

Ultimately, even if Kira-kun were desperate for money, he wouldn't do something like this!

The 10,000 yen or something probably refers to a task involving exorcising spirits.

Yes, that's right, that must be it!

Zian Yan patted her cheeks and quickly stepped forward to ride in the elevator with them.

But just as she reached the elevator entrance, the elevator doors began to close slowly.

The person inside made no attempt to press the open button for her. Kira-kun was staring intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand, completely unaware of Koyasu Tsubame's presence.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did notice her, but deliberately ignored her, even raising her cherry-colored lips in a provocative manner.

Inside the elevator, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, seemingly casually:

"Hey Kira-kun, do you know the girl who works as a bartender with you?"

"do not know."

Kira Yoshikage, who was reading the novel that Kasumigaoka Utaha had sent him on LINE and was glancing at her hand out of the corner of his eye, calmly replied, "We just happened to be working together."

Kasumigaoka Utaha twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, casually drawing closer to Kira Yoshikage, her breath sweet as orchids:

"Does Kira-kun think she's pretty?"

Kira Yoshikage's gaze lingered on the girl's hand. After a moment's careful recollection, he sincerely gave his answer:

"very beautiful."

Those hands were truly beautiful. The movements when mixing drinks were elegant and graceful. The allure of the long, slender, white fingers holding the measuring cup was something Kira Yoshikage could hardly forget. He had almost never had such a wonderful experience!

Indeed, a pair of beautiful hands always needs to be enhanced in some way to make them even more captivating.

For example, bartending, piano, guitar, writing... these are all bonus points.

So Tsubame is very beautiful because she can mix drinks.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is also very beautiful, because her hands can write.

Whenever Yoshikage Kira thinks of the wonderful, tingling sensation of their hands stroking his cheeks and their nails lightly grazing his body, it's almost like being struck by lightning. He can't help but want to pocky!

Ding dong~!

The elevator stopped on the 34th floor, and three tall, burly men in suits walked into the elevator, talking and laughing loudly.

"Second brother, third brother, tell me, with our clothes on, what kind of woman can't we get?"

"Hahaha! Tonight, I'll show those women what a real man is!"

A pungent smell of smoke and alcohol instantly filled the small elevator, and Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly. She stopped talking to Kira Yoshikage, but her body involuntarily leaned towards him.

"Tch! Why is it pointing downwards?"

One of the men cursed and complained, "We're going to the stairway to the angels; going down is just wasting our time!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha silently lowered her head, tossing her long hair to hide her beautiful face, a hint of disdain in her heart:

"You? The stairway to angels?"

Although they looked well-dressed, the sheer smell of smoke and alcohol on them meant they wouldn't be allowed into the angelic staircase; they'd definitely be turned away. Besides, the elevator was going downwards—didn't they know how to read the arrows?

Ultimately, how did people like them even get into this hotel?

That makes sense, though. Five-star hotels are still hotels, and they certainly don't have the right to refuse entry to any paid guest unless the guest causes trouble.

Of course, she only thought these things in her heart and would not actually say them out loud.

She's not stupid; how could she possibly call bad people bad in front of them?

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Kasumigaoka Utaha slightly raised her eyebrows to look at Kira Yoshikage, who was still looking down at his phone.

She didn't get the reaction she expected. Instead, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that two of the three men were staring at her intently, their eyes filled with lewdness.

It was obvious that they had noticed her the moment they entered the elevator.

After all, the elevator is only so big. Even if she lowers her head so that people can't see her face, her stunning figure is still hard to hide and will still attract attention. Especially in the eyes of those who already have wicked intentions, she stands out even more.

The girl silently lowered her head, her small hand reaching into her small bag to tightly grip the stun gun.

Ding dong~!

Finally, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

The three of them had no intention of getting out of the elevator or making way for Yoshikage Kira. Instead, they pressed the button for the 41st floor.

Two of them even turned around and brazenly sized up Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Although the latter was hidden behind Yoshikage Kira, they couldn't see anything at all.

Excuse me.

Yoshikage Kira patted the man in front of him on the shoulder and spoke calmly.

His voice made the man frown, but when he looked up, he realized that Yoshikage Kira was taller than them! Even though the man was still in a daze, his body involuntarily moved aside as if being pushed.

He was about to react when a feeling of fear inexplicably welled up inside him, as if something was staring intently at him!

"Let's go."

Kira Yoshikage said something casually, took the girl's sweaty hand in his own, turned to face the three of them, and led her out of the elevator.

"Big brother, second brother, what did you say?"

Gazing at the girl's graceful back and long, black-stockinged legs, the third brother pressed the door open button, licked his lips, and couldn't hide the lust in his eyes.

The man who had been pushed away by Yoshikage Kira earlier whispered a reminder:

"This is Tokyo, Yamamoto, conceal your position!"

The third brother was completely unconcerned:

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a game. Anyway, the higher-ups will clean up the mess for us. Why not have some fun!"

"The third brother is right, let's go."

The man called the boss's eyes flickered slightly, and he decisively stepped out of the elevator, with the third brother immediately following.

The second son hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

It's fine.

Although the blond man was taller than them and looked quite capable in a fight.

But they have guns!

He touched his lower back and his confidence immediately soared.

It's okay, at worst we can just kill someone!

The higher-ups will handle it.

"Kira-kun."

As she left the hotel lobby, Kasumigaoka Utaha trembled slightly and whispered, "It seems they're still following us."

"Ah, I know."

Yoshikage Kira calmly put away his phone and said softly, "This version is much better than the previous one. At least you've revised all the details I told you, which is good."

"Before Naoto could respond to Sayuka's confession, it was ruined by the jealous Mayu, and Sayuka was unable to confess again. Although it's a bit cliché, many readers enjoy reading this kind of story."

"Sayuka still has more screen time than others, which is undoubtedly due to your favoritism. My suggestion is to reduce some of her screen time later and give more screen time to Makoto and the other female leads. The most important thing in harem novels is to give everyone their due.

"In addition, Naoto's personality has also changed a lot. He used to be a very traditional, gentle male protagonist, but in the third volume he became more decisive. However, since the beginning was quite general, this change is not a bad thing."

"Your writing is excellent, and the two new female protagonists are both unique and captivating. All you need is a good illustrator to handle the illustrations, and I believe it will be outstanding. Apart from that, there are basically no other changes needed. You can submit it to your editor for review."

Upon hearing Kira Yoshikage's praise, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally broke into a joyful smile.

Hmph! She'd said it before: she was determined to make Yoshikage Kira her reader!

In her pleasant mood, she finally noticed something amiss from the increasingly sparse streetlights. They had left the bustling main street and were now walking through a deserted, dark alley.

Perhaps because Yoshikage Kira had saved her twice, the girl had a great deal of trust in him, so she did not resist even when he led her into an empty alley.

However, trusting Yoshikage Kira doesn't mean she's not wary!

Kasumigaoka Utaha gripped the stun gun tightly, cautiously turning around. Behind her was a dark alleyway with nothing in sight.
