If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Himeshichi and Kato Megumi were strolling on the street on their way home.

It's so strange. The scenery around here is familiar, but now it looks completely different.

In the silent atmosphere, Kato Megumi, with a gentle smile on her face, opened the topic first: "Senior, it seems that you didn't go to school today?"

"Hit? Yeah, how did you know?" Hearing this, Ji Qi felt a little strange. Could it be that Kato Hui had been paying attention to him silently...

"Ah, because Senpai isn't wearing a school uniform?"

Well... he was overthinking it.

"I heard it from An Yi." The girl's calm voice had a slight ups and downs in tone, and suddenly said something that Ji Qi didn't expect.

"say what?"

The girl said calmly, "It was a book signing event for my senior's light novel. I also received a copy of the book from Amai-san... After reading it, I found it surprisingly interesting? Although it's not my favorite subject matter."

"That guy..." Ji Qi shook his head. An Yilun really looked like someone who would do such a thing.

Fortunately, this is Kato Megumi. If it were a more ordinary girl who doesn’t like to stay at home, she would have blacklisted him long ago.

"I'd like to congratulate you on your official debut first. I only found out about it this afternoon, and I feel a little regretful that I didn't go to support you in person..."

Kato Megumi had a very peaceful smile on her face. Although her words did not express any drastic emotional fluctuations, one could surprisingly feel that her congratulations were from the bottom of her heart.

Ji Qi scratched his head and thanked him politely, "Thank you. That's not necessary. We are friends anyway, right? We see each other every day."

"It's because of friends that we do this, right? There are often such plots on TV."

"If it weren't for the last sentence, I might have been really moved..."

Kato Megumi paused for a moment and continued calmly: "Now that I think about it, I feel that my senior is really amazing. He is only one year older than me, but he is already a debut light novel writer."

"I've been writing novels sporadically before, and this is the first time I've submitted one, so it's not that impressive."

"But I still think it's amazing. Maybe I'm the type who can't even write well?"

If you think it's awesome, just put on some expression.

Looking at Kato Megumi, who had almost no expression on her face, Ji Qi couldn't help but start complaining in her heart.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing that bothers me a little bit. Why did you call me 'Keiko' last time and now you call me 'Kato'? Did I do something bad to make you angry?"

The language was blunt, yet calm and gentle, and spoken without any expression, making people wonder what was going on in her heart.

Anyway, Ji Qi couldn't guess what Kato Megumi was thinking.

He said truthfully: "Well... because I think it's a bit abrupt. Of course, if Kato doesn't mind, I still like to call you by your name."

"It's a bit embarrassing, but if it's a senior, it's not a big problem."

"It's not a big problem... Then I will call you Xiaohui from now on?" Noticing the subtle wording, Ji Qi pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Okay." The girl said kindly with her hands behind her back.

"Speaking of which, Xiaohui, have you joined any clubs recently?"

Anyway, there is still some time before home, and Ji Qi, who was vaguely thinking about the project, continued to chat with Kato Megumi.

It would be really funny if the heroine... one of the heroines was snatched away by someone else.

"No~~"

"I have an idea. What do you think, Kato? Would you like to consider getting involved?"

"Is such that……"

Ji Qi patiently and persuadingly expressed his considerations to Kato Hui.

"I was shocked when you suddenly said that. Playing games with you? But I really don't know anything about games."

Kato Megumi's indifferent expression was tinged with a hint of distress.

"Well... Xiaohui, you may be a little confused now. I think we can make this game together. You see, we are all so ordinary and have no image in the eyes of others. Forget about me, but Xiaohui, you are really pretty, right? Don't you want to change this situation a little bit?"

Ji Qi raised his glasses and explained seriously. This is really different from how he acted when he first met Xue No...

From another perspective, it can also be said that Yukino's transformation was successful? She should be very pleased to see this scene, right?

For no reason, these messy thoughts popped up in his mind.

"Thank you... But it seems that what you said is the opposite. It's not me who is unusual, but you, right? You see, a light novel writer who debuted in the second year of high school, this seems to be rare in the whole of Japan, right? And I always feel that what you said is not the truth..."

Kato Megumi remained calm and rational as she spoke one sentence at a time. To some extent, she was truly impeccable.

"I really mean it. Absolutely. I really think you're beautiful, Xiaohui! So, please be my heroine!! Oh no, please make games with me!"

Ji Qi stopped and looked directly into Kato Megumi's beautiful and charming clear pupils, and spoke very seriously.

"Ah, so that means that Senior was lying except for praising me for being beautiful?"

Looking at Ji Qi, Kato Hui was subconsciously stunned for a moment, but the next second she returned to her previous nonchalant expression as if she didn't care about anything.

The corner of Ji Qi's mouth twitched fiercely, "..."

"Also, are you confessing to me, Senior? Because you told me so many things at once, I'm a little confused and hesitant."

"..."

Kato Megumi’s complaints are really sharp.

Really. I don't see you being confused at all.

"From your expression, it seems like I misunderstood, right? But you can't blame me, right? Probably? The reason is that a boy and a girl were walking alone on an empty street, and the boy suddenly said, 'Please be my heroine!' This kind of thing is a confession no matter how you look at it, right?"

"..."

"In short, all I have to do is play games with my seniors, right? Actually, I don't mind this kind of thing that much. My parents often nag me, saying that I haven't brought friends home to play for a long time, and they also ask me to build good relationships with my classmates at school--"

I started complaining for no apparent reason!

Miss Kato seemed to have subtly complained about her parents!

……

PS1: There was a problem with the copy and paste function on my computer. My hand was shaking when I was copying the article, and the chapter I had coded was gone with a click! (Dead face)

Fortunately, I still remember it after I finished coding it... Thanks to this, I wasted more than an hour...

PS2: The baby is so miserable, doesn’t he need some monthly votes to comfort him?

PS3: The third update. Currently 400 monthly tickets, 2 more updates to go.

Chapter 80 Pearl covered in dust

Creating a gaming club and bringing in Kato Megumi was the result of careful consideration.

Normally, although he and Kato Megumi lived in the same school, their lives did not have much intersection.

The community is obviously a good place to do this.

Having a common goal and working together to achieve it, wouldn't it be possible to take their relationship a step further?

More importantly, this might be an opportunity to get Eromanga-sensei to leave the room.

Let's not talk about Kasumigaoka Utaha. Kato Megumi is definitely a good girl who is easy to get along with and can be friends with anyone. And even Kasumigaoka Utaha is just cold, arrogant and sharp-tongued on the surface. In addition, when making games, the more people, the better. It's a bit too much for just the three of them.

After Kato Megumi finished speaking, she neither refused nor agreed. She did not give him a clear reply.

Ji Qi was not in a hurry about this.

Kato Megumi is a beautiful girl whose beauty is overshadowed by the dust in every sense.

Even if Kato Megumi did not agree to join this club, he would find a way to make her shine as she should.

In front is Kato Megumi's house.

It looks like there won't be any results today.

When Ji Qi was thinking this, Kato Hui stopped his slow and steady pace.

She stood under a cherry tree and tucked her loose black hair behind her ears.

Those clear pupils, which were free of any worldly thoughts, stared at Ji Qi, causing a few ripples. Her expression was calm and her tone was gentle.

"If you're talking about the kind of clubs you join after school, I don't have a part-time job, nor do I join any other clubs. I don't even think about studying hard to get into a very good university, so... it's no problem, right?"

"Xiao Hui..."

Ji Qi scratched her head. Generally speaking, a normal girl would refuse without even thinking if faced with such a situation.

After all, suddenly saying that you want to make a game as if it were a joke is extremely unreliable no matter how you think about it, isn't it?

Kato Megumi walked ahead nonchalantly, as if what she had promised was just a trivial matter.

She adapted to the change of roles very quickly and seemed to have thought of something, so she said, "Senior, the club application needs at least five people, right? It won't work with just the two of us."

"And Shiyu, and my sister."

"suffer……?"

Where Ji Qi couldn't see, Kato Megumi's expression was a little subtle.

"My sister is an original artist. You are familiar with her situation, right? Although she doesn't go out all day, her painting skills are still impeccable!"

Ji Qi and Kato Megumi explained the membership composition of the club, and used a reasonable way to tell Kato Megumi that he was not completely unprepared and that he could do whatever he wanted.

"Ah... Sister Izumi is still the same as before? It seems that the senior is really working hard." Kato Megumi slightly tilted her delicate face and looked at Ji Qi with indifferent and gentle eyes.

It must be very hard.

When I was just in high school, my parents passed away, leaving behind a young sister who needed care.

Ji Qi shook his head. "I'm used to this kind of life. It's not that hard."

After a pause, he turned the topic to business: "As for Shiyu, she is responsible for the script of our club! However, I have a say in this matter, and I will also participate depending on the situation."

"Is that so? Is the Shiha you mentioned the senior from our school, Kasumigaoka Shiha?"

"is her."

"Ah, you and that cold Kasumigaoka-senpai are now calling each other by name. Senior is really not ordinary at all?"

"Because Shiyu is also writing novels, we met by chance."

"That's why I gave the script to Kasumigaoka-senpai, I understand. But we still don't have enough people to form a club, right?"

When Kato Hui mentioned this issue, Ji Qi frowned.

This is indeed the case.

How did Akitomo ignore the school rules and form a club with four other people?

Is it because he is the protagonist?

In fact, this difficulty is easy to solve now.

All they have to do is get Tomoya Aki and his childhood sweetheart, Eriri Sawamura, to join the team.

But Ji Qi didn't want to do that.

If it weren't for that fateful encounter, would Akitomo really have become interested in making games?

The composition of their club includes planners, scriptwriters, original artists, and programmers.

Why pull them in?

It’s okay for Tomoya Aki, he has a good relationship with the other party.

Eriri Sawamura is a friend of a friend.

Does it feel weird to ask her to join the group reluctantly just for Tomoya Aki's sake?

And it seems like the two of them are still in a cold war now?

Ji Qi rubbed his eyebrows and said that they could only talk about this later.
