Daily life in Zongman

"What impressed me most about the female lead's childhood sweetheart was that she often bickered with the male lead at school. But after being arrogant for a while, she always cared about the male lead, offering him water to wipe his sweat when he was sweating, and hugging him to comfort him when he was down."

"The second female lead, the schoolgirl next door, is specifically selling benefits, but these are not ordinary benefits. She is full of temptations while holding the last line and not crossing it, tempting the male lead to fall deeper and deeper in her, in order to win him over."

"Even the third female character is much more impressive. Her rank is much higher than the first and second female characters. This game can even be said to be a thousand-layered routine for the third female character. Her various intimate and supportive actions have been constantly winning the male lead's favor. In particular, she never refuses his various actions, which makes him feel very reassured and lays the foundation for him to become the most popular female character."

"Most importantly, this game isn't just about the beautiful girls, it also has gameplay! If the hero wants to achieve a perfect ending, he must always maintain a similar level of affection with the three beautiful girls. If he confirms a romantic relationship with one of them before the finale, the final ending won't be a perfect one."

"Controlling favorability depends entirely on a variety of sudden options, with no clear numerical values. This allows players to unconsciously think and immerse themselves in the game, maximizing the immersion!"

"Damn it! How can I possibly describe such a great game in just one sentence? No, no, I only have one sentence to tell you all the best things about it! I can do it! I'm a famous blogger."

Uego Yoshihiko interrupted Aki Tomoya's monologue and patted his shoulder: "Tomoya, I think Fujiwara-kun might not like playing this game?"

Aki Tomoya raised his head and vehemently retorted, "How is that possible! This is a masterpiece that's hailed as one of the three must-play Galgames for otaku!"

Uego Yoshihiko was silent for a moment, then said, "Well... I mean, maybe you could take a look at what Fujiwara-kun is doing."

Aki Tomoya, who was immersed in his own world, came back to his senses and looked at the playground again. He found that Fujiwara Haru had stopped running and was standing in the distance to rest.

Next to him, a lovely girl in flaxen took the towel and water bottle he handed back and put them back into her schoolbag. Then she took out a fan and walked onto the playground with Fujiwara Haru.

As they strolled and chatted, Aki Tomoya noticed that the fan in the girl's hand was not so much for fanning herself as it was for fanning Fujiwara Haru next to her. It was not directed at herself at all, but was completely facing the other side.

Aki Tomoya took a deep breath and said, "That person is Fujiwara's deskmate, right? When did they become so close?"

Uego Yoshihiko complained: "Ryouya, you should read the forum more often. Fujiwara-kun has some semi-public information. That's his childhood sweetheart, Nishimiya Shoko. They knew each other for a long time. And to be honest, I think Nishimiya is also very beautiful. It's just that she wears school uniform socks every day. She dresses too ordinary, so she gets overlooked."

Aki Tomoya was silent for a moment, then muttered, "That's just how it is. Three-dimensional childhood sweethearts aren't pretty at all. This game I mentioned is still the best."

Just as he was about to continue introducing the game, a young girl came over from a distance.

She has a slim figure, eye-catching black stockings, and breasts that are basically big. Coupled with her plump thighs, she is like a succubus. She is the second-year student Utaha Kasumigaoka, the most popular beauty in the school.

She walked in the wind, her long black hair swimming in the water like a fish.

Aki Tomoya watched her walk to a place not far from Fujiwara Haru, said hello, and followed him to the other side. Now on Fujiwara Haru's right hand was his childhood sweetheart Nishimiya, and on his left hand was the cold and beautiful senior schoolmate Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Akitomo was silent for a moment, then muttered, "Three-dimensional seniors aren't that flirtatious. They only tease me with malicious intent. Seniors in games are still better."

After the three people not far away finished walking around, Fujiwara Haru and Kasumigaoka Utaha waved goodbye. Since they were not far away, Aki Tomoya could vaguely hear some words through the wind.

"See you in the club room the day after tomorrow, Senior."

"Goodbye Fujiwara-kun, I'm looking forward to the cosplay character you prepared for me~"

Aki Tomoya said he didn't hear clearly. When he was about to continue introducing the game, a girl who had been sitting on a bench not far away stood up and filled the position on Fujiwara Haru's left.

The girl with gray hair and golden eyes, whose figure is not inferior to that of senior sister Kasumigaoka, is wrapped in a loose white coat. The girl wearing glasses looks intellectual and knowledgeable. She is a complete stranger.

She said in an emotionless voice: "Fujiwara, who is full of peach blossoms, has finished running. Let's go home."

Aki Tomoya watched them leave, then remained silent for a moment before looking at Uego Yoshihiko beside him: "Who was that? Did they mention it on the forum?"

Uego Yoshihiko shrugged. "It seems like she's a girl who often goes home with Fujiwara-kun. I don't know much else about her. There's not a lot of information on the forum."

Uego Yoshihiko grumbled, "This guy must be a drop from the sky type, appearing out of nowhere, unknown to anyone, and inserting himself between Fujiwara-kun and his childhood friend. It's really enviable, no, it's really jealous."

Aki Tomoya fell silent. His knowledge of Fujiwara Haru was limited to the news following the kendo competition, and he hadn't paid much attention since then. He'd wanted to become friends only after confirming yesterday that they were both otaku and had something in common, but he hadn't bothered to find out more. Now, he looked at the three people in the distance, gritted his teeth, and turned away.

Uego Yoshihiko chased after him: "Ren, don't walk so fast, wait for me, wait for me."

Aki Tomoya slowed down his pace, took a deep breath, and said expressionlessly, "I understand now. We are not on the same page. He and I cannot be friends."

Uego Yoshihiko scratched his head: "Why can't we be friends all of a sudden?"

Aki Tomoya complained loudly: "Fujiwara is not a otaku at all! He is the ultimate real person!"

Uego Yoshihiko: “Huh?”

"What the hell... What the hell... Childhood sweetheart, senior, and a beautiful girl who fell from the sky, he's the ultimate real person! Damn it, damn it..."

Uego Yoshihiko followed for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I think otakus can also live happily. You can't hate others just because they live a simple life."

"Besides, we like playing Galgame because we want to live a school life like the male protagonist, full of beautiful girls, right?"

"I say, Lunye, you are not jealous..."

Uesugi Yoshihiko decided to be more tactful: "By the way, it's human nature to be envious. It's a very normal thing."

Aki Tomoya stood still, and Kamigo Yoshihiko also stood still. The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and did not move forward.

Tomoya Aki turned around and looked at Yoshihiko Uego, his face full of anger and he opened his mouth to refute something, but in the end he said nothing and strode away with his mouth closed.

Looking at his back, Uego Yoshihiko recalled what Tomoya Aki had said before: "Don't worry, Yoshihiko. Since I brought you into the second dimension, we are best friends. I, Tomoya Aki, will never betray a friend. I will definitely be the first to inform you if I have good news in the future. I will always think of you no matter what I do."

Yoshihiko Kamigo watched Tomoya Aki leave from behind and did not chase after him.

Chapter 153 The Growth of a Leader.

On a Friday in mid-May, Fujiwara Haru's craft tool club officially opened, with a dedicated activity room. It was a previously abandoned club activity room, the size of a normal classroom, undivided and spacious.

There is a sewing machine and some tools for making props left inside, and there are some introductory handicraft books on the bookshelf, such as simple wooden prop making and simple clothing making basics.

After confirming the club activity room, Fujiwara Haru brought all the members to the activity room for a thorough cleaning. With the waving of rags and brooms, the activity room became clean and tidy.

After confirming that there was no dirt or mess, he looked at Glass.

"Glass, write down what you want to buy."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded and took out a pen and paper. Komi Shoko, who was packing up her tools not far away, looked up and then continued to pack up her tools.

Fujiwara Haru began to take inventory of the things he wanted to buy: "The scissors and cutters left over from the old craft club basically need to be replaced. First, I'm going to buy scissors and a utility knife, then a saw, a ruler, and bolt cutters."

Without saying too much at once, after Glass finished writing and looked over, he continued to list the tools that needed to be purchased, such as paint, wool brushes, glue, heat guns, etc., as well as the most important finger gloves, goggles and gas masks.

Kitagawa Umi, who was not far away, had just finished cleaning the windows and was resting in a chair. She stood up and raised her right hand when she heard this. "Hey, Fujiwara-kun, isn't this gas mask thing a bit exaggerated? Are we going to make some awful powder by hand?"

Fujiwara Haru answered carefully: "When making props, dust and spray gases are easily generated. A gas mask is very necessary. Of course, a mask can also be used, but I like to be safe, so I plan to buy a gas mask."

Kitagawa Umaki imagined herself wearing a gas mask as a prop, and felt a little bad. Then she thought about the lung disease caused by dust, and decided to wear the gas mask obediently. She couldn't lose her life for beauty.

She sat back down, and Fujiwara Haru continued to tell Glass what she wanted to buy. After making sure that she had said everything she had thought of, she walked around the club room again and looked at the others.

"Let's think about it together. Is there anything else we want to buy?"

Liang Nishiko thought for a while and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't think of anything to add.

Kitagawa Umi waved his hand: "I don't know anything. I don't know what to buy. I'll listen to President Fujiwara."

Looking at the bookshelf with many empty spaces, Kasumigaoka Utaha made a suggestion: "How about buying some more light novels and putting them on the bookshelf? It's a bit empty now."

Fujiwara Haru nodded. "Yes, but we shouldn't just include light novels. We should also include some comics and some books on advanced prop and costume making techniques. This way, people can not only learn some techniques by reading books, but also read comics and light novels in their free time."

He looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside him. Today, senior sister Kasumigaoka was still wearing the classic JK school uniform + black stockings, with beautiful black hair draped over her shoulders.

"I'll leave the purchase of the book to Kasumigaoka-senpai. The budget is 10 yen. I'll transfer the money to you later. If your budget is not enough for the purchase, you can always ask me to increase it."

The senior's voice was a little cold, but what she said was very friendly: "I was the one who suggested buying the book, and I still have some money in my pocket, so Fujiwara-kun doesn't have to pay for the book."

In front of people she's not familiar with, Kasumigaoka Utaha maintains a somewhat aloof but approachable image as a senior. And unless she's faced a difficult situation, she's not prone to harsh words, earning her a good reputation among students on the school forum.

Fujiwara Haru disagreed with Kasumigaoka Utaha's suggestion: "No, I will use club funds to purchase club supplies. As the president, I have the right to decide the source and use of club funds. Before the first club activity, I will provide and fully control the club funds."

"After the first club activity, the club's activity funds were composed of funds allocated by the student union and club dues. At that time, the club funds were allocated and used after discussion."

"The main club activities I'm going to arrange for in the summer and winter are cosplay and participating in comic conventions. After we gain some fame, we'll try to take orders and use the money earned from club activities as the main club funding. This way, the club can operate healthily and long-term, and it can also survive after we graduate, instead of being abandoned like the previous handicraft club."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a bit surprised. Generally speaking, club activities were just for fun, with few people planning too much. It was just about doing whatever made them happy. There was nothing wrong with that; it was the norm and nature of high school clubs.

However, Fujiwara Haru made a plan for the future development of the club at the beginning of its establishment, and took into account the problems that the club would face after graduation. This is an excellent level of work.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's impression of this junior increased slightly. She originally thought that this junior was only good at fighting, but unexpectedly, he was also quite smart.

As for the junior's slightly commanding tone, she didn't care about it. As long as the arrangements were reasonable and correct, she didn't mind following them.

She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, Fujiwara-kun."

Fujiwara Haru stopped the person at the back table who was about to take out the dirty bucket and dump it out: "Put it by the door. I'll take it with me when I leave."

The person at the back table tilted his head, put down the bucket and returned to the corner.

Fujiwara Haru looked at Kitagawa Umi and continued to arrange things. "Kitagawa-san, you will be responsible for purchasing fabric and sewing machines. The budget is 30 yen. You need to buy three excellent sewing machines and some cheap fabric for cutting practice. If the budget is not enough, feel free to contact me to increase the budget."

As he spoke, he walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a book and handed it to Kitagawa Umi: "This is 'Easy Clothing Making'. Kitagawa-san can take a look at it to find out how to choose fabrics and sewing machines."

Kitagawa Umi was very excited about the fact that she could start making clothes right away and was very positive: "No problem, no problem~ Leave it to me~"

Fujiwara Haru looked at Furumi Shoko, thought for a moment, and made arrangements: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Shoko, Furumi-san, and I will go buy the tools for making props together. You will be responsible for helping carry the things. You don't need to communicate with others, but you will have to put in the effort."

Komi Shoko nodded expressionlessly, looking a little indifferent, but from what Nishimiya said, one could see that her eyes were bright and energetic, and it was clear that she was somewhat happy now.

When I blinked, I suddenly saw that she had cat ears and her eyes had become small and sparkling. She seemed very happy to go out with her friends on the weekend?

Blink and the abnormality is gone.

Finally, he looked at the table in the back that had been brought in to make up the group. "Kato will be responsible for purchasing tables, chairs, and hanger cabinets to fill out the activity room. We also need a few sofas for resting. The budget is 50 yuan. The sofas must be of good quality so they can be used for naps."

"Everyone has something to do. Fujiwara-kun seems like a capitalist exploiting his employees."

"Oh~ Now I have to say this: if everyone works hard, there will be huge dividends at the end of the year! So for my Lamborghini, everyone must work hard!"

"I'm surprised Fujiwara-kun didn't give a serious explanation: the club belongs to everyone, so we should work together or something like that."

"I can still tell the difference between sarcasm and innuendo, and I'm not that serious and conservative."

"But I think in the eyes of most people, Fujiwara-kun is still a very serious and cold person."

"Other people's opinions are irrelevant. Kato, remember to arrange the purchase. Oh, and I'll create a community group so everyone can come together for discussion and exchange."

Fujiwara Haru spent some time dealing with the trivial matters after the establishment of the club, and then announced the disbandment of the first club meeting. He was the last one to leave the activity room, leaving with Glass and carrying a dirty bucket.

He poured out the dirty water and cleaned the bucket, then returned the borrowed bucket, linen and other tools. These props were also recorded in Glass's notebook as things to be purchased in the next two days.

Glass followed behind, and the two of them walked towards Futaba's activity room, preparing to call Futaba home.

"Haru-kun, you looked quite handsome just now~"

Glass whispered in the empty corridor.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Fujiwara Haru was a little confused as to why he was suddenly praised. He was very happy, but still a little confused.

Glass took a few brisk steps, walked to the front, turned around and walked backwards: "Just now when Haru-kun was in the activity room, I felt that he was quite handsome~"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Although I was still a little confused, I was almost at Futaba's activity room.

Glass turned around and followed behind him again. She looked at her lover pushing the door and walking into the activity room, with a slight smile on her lips.

She couldn't really explain why, but just now in the craft room, she saw her lover handling things in an orderly manner, and she felt that his serious look was really handsome.

In essence, she believes that being handsome is a sense of leadership. When someone takes a leadership position, manages things appropriately, and leads everyone on the right path, they will be admired and respected, and they will gradually develop a calm and composed demeanor.

How did Fujiwara Haru gradually develop this kind of temperament?

It's easier said than done: play games, play massively multiplayer games, and be the commander.

Maybe some people think that playing games is a waste of time, but in fact, games can really teach a person a lot.

Good games can help people learn a lot of knowledge and guide a person's growth.

To put it more fundamentally, everyone's initial growth begins with imitation and play. Learning through imitation, exploring and experimenting through play, slowly accumulating experience, and after experiencing certain events, turning past play experiences into the foundation for building one's own edifice.

Since last year, Fujiwara Haru has been guided by PA-san to be the team captain to command the battle. He thought that this would make it easier for his friends to win, so he never refused.

After that, the two would occasionally play other games together, such as multiplayer online games with large-scale battles. Because Fujiwara Haru was clear-headed, had good gaming skills, and good communication skills, he gradually learned to command larger groups, starting with a small group of people.

PA-san's initial words to comfort himself that he just wanted to train a leader and not to satisfy his own habit of being ordered around are being inadvertently realized.

Recently, Fujiwara Haru has been serving as deputy commander of large-scale in-game campaigns, which has greatly improved his coordination skills. Today, in the craft room, he subconsciously began to coordinate and arrange tasks, rationally allocating the tasks needed to start the craft prop club.

PA-san had been playing games with her, and he was gradually improving. She had gotten used to it and didn't praise him. However, after seeing what happened in the craft room today, Glass noticed that her lover had become more relaxed, so she just praised him: "You're more handsome."

In the spring season, the sun does not set so early. The sky is clear and sunny. Accompanied by the spring breeze, Fujiwara Haru, Shoko and Futaba go home together after school.

He was walking on the road thinking about where to buy tools tomorrow. Not far from the school gate, the road in front of him was blocked.

"Hey! Kid! You're the only one bullying my little brother!"

A gloomy-looking adult in a suit was blocking the road.

Behind him were a few thugs that Fujiwara Haru had beaten up before. Because those thugs were dressed in very unique styles, Fujiwara Haru still had some impression of them.

The thugs were also talking trash: "Bug! You're done!"
