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

In a sense, this evil spirit has unlimited potential. As long as the behavior of 'urging for updates' exists, and as long as the author's fear of 'urging for updates' remains, this evil spirit can continue to grow.

Miku Nakano, who could see it immediately upon awakening, clearly possessed a higher level of psychic talent than the others.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to cry but had no tears:

"I don't want this kind of good thing at all!"

If she can write about evil spirits so quickly, doesn't that mean she's really been with evil spirits all this time?

Thinking about this, Kasumigaoka Utaha almost collapsed, looking pitifully at Kira Yoshikage:

"Kira-kun, please be sure to free her!"

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yoshikage Kira glanced at the chibi-style evil spirit, looking for any parts that could be reused.

Unfortunately, no.

Its hands are not beautiful at all.

"Fifty thousand yen!"

fifty thousand?

Yoshikage Kira remained unfazed as the pink cat reached out and touched the chibi-style evil spirit.

"Even……"

boom!

The calls for more updates abruptly ceased, and the chibi-style evil spirit vanished into dust.

Yoshikage Kira's tone remained unchanged:

"Let's talk about the book."

"Miss Kasumigaoka, are you planning to end it with the third volume?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't expected the topic to veer so far, and it took her a while to catch her breath; her voice was still a little shaky.

"I... I hadn't thought of it that way. Machida's suggestion was to write at least five volumes..."

"Then I suggest you change the ending. In harem works, you can't declare a single winner before the real ending; you have to keep the tension going. Otherwise, you're sacrificing the whole forest for one tree. Even if you win, you can only be temporarily ahead. You have to make sure everyone is a winner in the end. But at the end of your third volume, Sayuka's confession almost led to a happy ending. How is Makoto supposed to feel about that? To truly achieve a harem ending, unless everyone can accept the existence of others from the beginning, you can only make them compromise through tension."

"Pulling?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly grasped the meaning of this unfamiliar word, though she hesitated somewhat:

"But I feel like I can't keep going..."

"Then let's add a new female lead."

Yoshikage Kira offers the following advice:

"How can a harem anime only have two female leads? This is at most a dual-female lead story, it doesn't deserve the term harem!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gained new insights, while the Nakano Five Sisters' gazes held a subtle tension:

Is the definition of a harem really that strict in Kira-kun's eyes?

Chapter 48 Mai Sakurajima is very popular

As the Golden Week holiday drew to a close, the gradual return to normalcy in school life brought Yoshikage Kira a long-lost sense of peace. What pleased him most was that he no longer saw Nagisa Kashiwagi among the disciplinary committee members on duty at the school gate.

She seems to have finally given up waiting at the school gate and searching for Yoshikage Kira among the students.

Thanks to this, Yoshikage Kira no longer needed to climb over the wall and could now enter the school openly through the school gate.

Kira Yoshikage's gaze swept over a bench by the roadside, where a girl was sitting curled up, dressed in a very revealing bunny girl outfit that was obviously not acceptable to the disciplinary committee.

Yoshikage Kira knew her, or rather, very few young people wouldn't know her.

She debuted as a child star at the age of six and became very popular after transitioning into an actress, making her a true celebrity. At least 6% of the Japanese population knows her and can pronounce her name—Sakurajima Mai—at first glance.

Such a celebrity, appearing at Shuchiin Academy dressed as a bunny girl, would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

And indeed, Mai Sakurajima is very popular.

Kira Yoshikage quickly looked away and headed straight for the teaching building where the mixed-use college was located.

Mai Sakurajima squatted in a corner of the bench, hugging her legs and curling up into a ball.

A gust of cold wind swept in, causing the girl's body to tremble even more violently, her muttered words tinged with obvious sobs:

"Save me, anyone will help, please save me..."

The girl's almost pleading cries went unheard. Despite the large number of students passing by, her cries attracted no attention from anyone.

Even so, Mai Sakurajima remains very popular.

Around her, there were creatures of all shapes and sizes—some thin, some short and stout, some tall and strong, some emaciated—but all with ferocious faces and exuding black energy, swirling around her, roaring, howling, or muttering in their sleep.

"Hey, hey, you can see it, right?"

"You can see me, right?"

"You can see it, right?"

"Sakurajima Mai! Auntie's washing the railway! Auntie's washing the railway!"

"Look at me, please look at me properly! I like you so much, why won't you look at me!"

As it turns out, Mai Sakurajima is very popular.

"Kira-kun..."

Just as Yoshikage Kira sat down, a barely audible voice came from the table in front of him.

That was the girl sitting in front of Yoshikage Kira. What impressed him most was her long, flowing pink hair and her small, fair hands, which she didn't show off much but were actually quite impressive—Yoshikage Kira had a deep impression of her.

Logically speaking, a girl like that should be very popular.

However, because she always slouched and her eyes were covered by her bangs, she appeared somewhat gloomy and aloof. In addition, she didn't seem to be good at socializing, so she didn't have many friends in class.

Kira Yoshikage remembered that her name was Goto Doku.

"Goto-san, is there something you need?"

"I...I, that..."

Goto was so nervous that he was at a loss for words, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Yoshikage Kira didn't rush to disturb her, but simply watched her quietly until she finished speaking.

But this only made Goto Doku more nervous, and it took him a long time to finally muster up his courage:

"...Captain Tainaka...let...go...to...K-On..."

Her voice was so soft, or even nonexistent, that even Yoshikage Kira could only hear fragmented, indistinct words.

Yoshikage Kira sorted out his thoughts:

"You mean, you joined the light music club, and Ritsu Tainaka knows you're in the same class as me, so you sent you to inform me and ask me to go to the light music club?"

Goto, who had initially felt somewhat hopeless about his performance, regained his composure upon hearing Kira Yoshikage's words and nodded in delight.

"Uh-huh!"

Yoshikage Kira didn't go to see the surprise of the pink-haired cutie; instead, he seemed lost in thought.

"Because they had six people, the department wasn't disbanded?"

He originally thought he wouldn't be able to collect them all.

Perhaps it was because of Goto Doku's addition that they were able to barely make it together.

However, given her personality, it's unlikely she'd join willingly.

It's highly likely that she was seen by Ritsu Tainaka while walking down the street with her guitar on her back, and was then strongly encouraged to join the Light Music Club.

"Um, Kira-kun."

Seemingly because of Kira Yoshikage's gentle demeanor, Goto mustered his courage and asked in a low voice:

Do you remember my name?

Is it strange to know your classmates' names?

"That's strange..."

Goto muttered to herself, because no one else could remember her, or even remember that she existed.

Despite it being their first conversation, Yoshikage Kira was able to call her by name accurately, giving the girl the illusion that she was being valued—yes, an illusion.

In fact, the reason why Yoshikage Kira was willing to talk to her was because she was quite reclusive.

Because they are both solitary enough, two solitary people together will not become the focus of other people's conversations.

They might not even get noticed.

But if it were someone else, such as Satsuki Nakano or Yumiko Miura, he would immediately become the center of attention.

Satsuki Nakano in the back seat asked in a low voice:

"Um, Kira-kun, who are those people?"

Kira Yoshikage looked towards the corridor, where a group of people were huddled in a corner, peering through the glass at the students inside the classroom.

There were construction workers wearing yellow hard hats, ordinary-looking middle-aged housewives wearing aprons, and even some dressed in brightly colored, non-mainstream outfits...

They looked ordinary, like any other passerby, not worth paying attention to.

The problem is, this is Shuchiin Academy, how did they get in?

Moreover, rather than looking at the classroom, they were more like looking at a girl surrounded by admirers—

It was a girl dressed as a bunny girl.

She looked enviously at the students in the classroom, who were filled with laughter, while her eyes showed fear and she tried her best to avoid turning her head to look at the 'people' surrounding her.

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze and met the somewhat nervous look of the girl at the table in front of him:

There's nothing there.
