As class was about to start, the crowd surrounding Yuta Kijima gradually dispersed.

Aki Tomoya sat back down with a complaining look on his face, then looked at Kijima Yuta with a complicated expression, "Yuta is really popular now."

"Does Tomoya want one too? You could look great if you dressed up properly."

Yuta Kijima patted him on the shoulder reassuringly and said with a smile.

He didn't think being popular was something to be happy about, but he also wouldn't always dress up as a shady outsider in the class.

I believe that once they get used to it, the students in the class won't be so excited anymore.

"Actually, being popular isn't a good thing. Isn't it great to be like you? Or rather, you can be like that if you want to."

Yuta Kijima knows that Tomoya Aki has never cared much about his appearance, as he spends most of his time on his anime, comics, and games (ACG). It would be quite difficult to get Tomoya to change his mind.

Aki Tomoya let out a long breath, turned to look at Kijima Yuta, and smiled, "Yuta, you know I don't care about these things, but you know what... I've noticed that the girls in my class are looking at me with even more disgust."

"This is really strange." Aki Tomoya scratched his head, puzzled. "Yuta, do you have any clue? I haven't done anything lately."

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima's lips twitched involuntarily; of course he knew.

Among the girls who were surrounding him earlier, one of them whispered a warning to him to stay away from Aki Tomoya, worried that he would be influenced by Aki Tomoya if he was always with him.

Of course, Yuta Kijima wouldn't tell Tomoya Aki about this, so he could only say, "What clues could I possibly have? They're probably just jealous that you're sitting in front of me."

Yuta Kijima is talking nonsense.

"Really?" Aki Tomoya clearly believed his fabricated reasoning and was somewhat speechless at the thought process of the girls in the class.

"Alright, the teacher is here. Now you can focus on the lesson."

Yuta Kijima quickly sent Tomoya Aki off to class to prevent him from overthinking again.

In the following classes, the teachers were curious about the sudden appearance of the boy, but they did not arbitrarily stop teaching.

It's clear that Yuta Kijima needs to deal with the girls in his class tirelessly.

And so it went until lunch break time.

Yuta Kijima declined several girls' invitations to have dinner with him and instead called out to Tomoya Aki.

Just as Aki Tomoya was about to get up and head to his clubroom, Kijima Yuta called him back.

Just as he was wondering why Yuta Kijima had called him back, he heard Yuta Kijima say, "Tomoya, I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Aki Tomoya was dumbfounded. Although he knew that Kijima Yuta's light novel was very good, he had thought about bringing Kijima Yuta into his dream project. However, when he thought of Utaha-senpai's disgusted expression, he gave up.

“Yuta… Yuta, my club doesn’t need any more members for the time being…” Aki Tomoya said.

Of course, Yuta Kijima didn't really want to join Tomoya Aki's club. In his opinion, joining Tomoya's club was a thankless task. If it weren't for Megumi being in his club, Yuta Kijima wouldn't have even considered it.

“Rinya, don’t worry, I have no intention of joining your club. It’s just that one of my… well, friends, I just want to go find her in your club,” Yuta Kijima explained.

This time, Aki Tomoya was even more puzzled, "Yuta, is he a friend of yours?"

"Correct!"

Yuta Kijima raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Chapter 36 Confidence Shines Brightly

Toyosaki Academy, noon.

A boy walked calmly, his warmth and unique charm drawing the attention of students passing by. They were clearly wondering how such a handsome guy had appeared in the school. Meanwhile, another boy kept chattering in front of him, leaving the former looking helpless.

Aki Tomoya led the way, glancing back at Kijima Yuta every now and then, while talking excitedly.

"Yuta, who exactly do you know in my club?"

"Rinya, don't get so excited. You'll know when we get there."

Yuta Kijima glanced at Tomoya Aki, looking at him as if he'd stolen Tomoya's wife. "Don't worry, I won't join your club. I know you already have someone suitable in mind, so I won't make things difficult for you, Tomoya."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya was constantly screening the candidates in his mind.

Yinglili?

No one but me knows her true identity; she wouldn't reveal it to make friends.

Megumi Kato?

Kato-san has such a low profile, no one in real life would notice her, right? She promised to be the heroine of my game, how could she know other guys?

Is that Shiyu-senpai?

Yes! Yuta must know Utaha-senpai. I remember Yuta submitted his novel to Shinazugawa Publishing, which happens to be the same publishing house where Utaha-senpai publishes light novels.

If they work at the same publishing house, then it makes sense that they know each other.

Aki Tomoya raised his head, his face already full of confidence.

“Yuta, I know who you know,” Aki Tomoya said confidently, as if Watson had discovered a blind spot. “But she actually told you all about this…”

"what?"

Yuta Kijima raised his eyebrows, stunned by the confident Tomoya Aki, completely bewildered.

Is Aki Tomoya really that smart?

I actually guessed that he knew Hui.

That's understandable, since he knows both Sawamura-senpai and Kasumigaoka-senpai, except for Megumi, whom he relentlessly pursued into joining the club.

"Since you know, that's fine. I won't interfere with your club activities," Yuta Kijima said with a helpless shrug.

"To be honest, I only came here for tutoring."

"Oh, oh." Aki Tomoya completely understood. After all, Shiwa-senpai's learning ability was evident to the entire school, and her consistently top-ranking grades were something many people could only dream of.

If Yuta knows Utaha-senpai, it's normal for him to help her with her studies.

After figuring things out, Aki Tomo stopped talking and finally quieted down.

Yuta Kijima finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Aki Tomoya led Kijima Yuta to an audiovisual classroom.

There was hardly anyone in the corridor, and the curtains in the audiovisual classroom were all drawn, but you could faintly hear arguing coming from inside the room if you stood at the door.

Yuta Kijima looked at Tomoya Aki with some surprise.

Aki Tomoya also heard the arguing inside the room, smiled apologetically at Kijima Yuta, and opened the classroom door.

"Damn it! Isn't Tomoya here yet? I'm having to stay up all night every night to finish my manuscript because of his ridiculous game...!"

"Hehe, I wonder why Ethics-kun called you, a useless doujinshi artist, here."

"What...what are you saying! You gloomy female writer!"

"hehe."

"Ha! You bastard... you..."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the argument that was about to erupt in the classroom subsided.

Yuta Kijima followed Tomoya Aki into the classroom, and the first thing he saw was a blonde girl with twin ponytails standing at the door and on the podium.

The girl on the podium had a delicate, petite face, radiant beauty, exquisite blonde hair, clear blue eyes, and porcelain-like skin.

She had a black ribbon tied between her twin ponytails, long and slender legs, and wore a school uniform and stockings, looking both dignified and adorable.

This is Eriri Sawamura, whom Yuta Kijima met once before.

At this moment, she was staring at the girl with long, straight black hair sitting by the window with her beautiful eyes.

From Kijima Yuta's perspective, he could only see her profile, but she was still stunning. Her thick, jet-black hair cascaded down her cheeks, and she wore a white headband.

However, what caught Kijima Yuta's eye was her beautiful legs encased in black pantyhose.

It's clear that the stockings are made of high-quality material, and the girl's legs are incredibly alluring and eye-catching.

This is Kasumigaoka Utaha, the famous ice queen of the school; she truly lives up to her reputation.

Suppressing the desire that suddenly flashed through his mind, Yuta Kijima took a slight breath and scanned the classroom with a normal expression.

Finally, he saw Kato Megumi.

She was sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, silently and quietly reading her book, seemingly unaffected by the noise in the classroom.

That's just like Megumi's personality. I really don't know why Aki Tomoya insisted on dragging Megumi into this.

Hui was clearly not suited to this seemingly lively but troublesome club atmosphere.

Seeing Aki Tomoya enter the classroom, the girl sitting by the window turned her head slightly, her wine-red eyes staring curiously at Kijima Yuta behind Aki Tomoya, and then asked, "Tomoya-kun, where did you find this member again?"

Everyone in the classroom immediately turned their attention to Yuta Kijima.

In this classroom, the only person Kijima Yuta probably doesn't recognize is Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Eriri squinted and took a closer look, then froze in shock.

Isn't this the guy I met the other day?

She was still worried after returning to school that day, but since she didn't hear any strange messages at school, and thought that the man had kept his promise, she stopped caring about him.

How did we end up here today, and with that bastard Tomoya by my side!

Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks and stared at Yuta Kijima without saying a word.

Kijima Yuta felt a chill run down his spine when he sensed a hostile gaze. Following his instincts, he saw Eriri glaring at him fiercely.

Yuta Kijima was a little surprised. What was going on?

Helpless, Yuta Kijima nodded kindly to Eriri Asahi.

"Hmph!" Eriri turned her head away haughtily.

Kijima Yuta, who didn't know how he had angered Eriri, smiled awkwardly and looked at Kato Megumi, who was sitting quietly in her seat.

Hui is still the best.

At that moment, Megumi also looked up and saw Yuta Kijima, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Yuta Kijima didn't go straight to sit down next to Megumi Kato.

After all, it's Tomoya's club, so we should give him some face.

Let's wait until Aki Tomoya introduces everyone before we go over.
