"Jiang Yuan, let's get together again in art class this afternoon to draw promotional posters."

Suddenly, a melodious and lovely voice rang out, interrupting Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look.

A girl with short yellow hair, wearing a large red ribbon on her head that looked like rabbit ears, blushed slightly as she spoke.

Behind them were several girls whispering, seemingly encouraging the "rabbit girl" to look this way.

As if guessing something, Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"Okay, let's talk to the teacher about it later, and then we can all draw promotional posters together."

"Okay! Thank you, Jiang Yuan-jun."

An Zhongzhen, who was initially a little nervous, immediately relaxed when she saw Jiang Yuan's gentle smile.

'Jiang Yuan is indeed very gentle.'

Then, with a bright and adorable smile, An Zhongzhen thanked her.

She went back with a slightly flushed face.

The girl, who seemed to be a friend, would occasionally turn around excitedly, as if they were talking about something.

'My daily routine is still pretty much fine.'

After making a remark, Jiang Yuan turned around and looked back.

"Ah this..."

Looking into Mai's calm eyes, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason.

Jiang Yuan is a womanizer.

"Let me explain, Mai..."

........................

P. S.: New author, new book, please give me some flowers and votes!

Volume One If you're going to do it, do it right!

The afternoon sun streamed in through the window, making the windowpane and metal railings gleam.

The art studio at Shiding High School.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Didn't Inoue suddenly faint this morning and get taken to the infirmary? Guess what happened? It'll give you a shock!"

"Oh no, am I really going to lose my strength...?"

"Yes! The doctor said Inoue's body is severely overworked, and his health seems to be deteriorating for some reason!"

"This is a case of severe kidney deficiency..."

………………

With her face flushed, Yuko Aioi listened to the discussion among the boys around her, her cute big eyes showing a slight panic.

After being given some "little tidbits" by Naganohara Mio, Aioi Yuko was incredibly embarrassed when she heard things like how too many skills she had made had led to her downfall.

Are guys really that enthusiastic... enthusiastic... about this kind of thing?

With a blush on her face, Aioi Yuko curiously stole a glance at Jiang Yuan.

'Would Jiang Yuan-chan do something like that?'

Sensing the gaze, Jiang Yuan turned his head slightly and saw Youzi secretly watching him.

Hearing the discussions around him, Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and realized what Yuko, this lively and curious girl, was thinking.

Jiang Yuan smiled and, without any embarrassment, spoke frankly without any attempt to hide his feelings.

"If that's the case, I hope it's with Yuko."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Xiang Sheng Youzi's cute little face froze slightly, then quickly turned bright red.

Its eyes were rolling around, and white smoke was coming out of its little head.

At that moment, Yuko Aioi felt her mind was completely muddled, like a slurred mess.

What did she hear?

'Jiang Yuan wants to do... do... do that kind of thing with her?!'

'So... that means... there will be... there will be a baby...'

Surprisingly, I felt no aversion whatsoever; instead, I was so embarrassed that I almost fainted.

'Does Jiang Yuan want... to have a... little baby with her...?'

'But... this kind of thing will... will take several... years more...'

'Ugh... Jiang Yuan-chan, all you do is bully people...'

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained favor with Aioi Yuuko. Favorability value +1, current favorability value 82!"

Burying her head in her fair arms, Yuko Aioi was too embarrassed to speak.

"Tch, what are Yuko and Kami... what are Jiang Yuanjun talking about? Those idiot boys are so noisy, they can't even hear what Jiang Yuanjun is saying!"

Mio Naganohara, who is in the back row, forms a painting group with Mai Mizukami.

Looking at Aiyo Yuko, who was so embarrassed by what Jiang Yuan said that she was practically fuming.

Biting her finger, Naganohara Mio was incredibly eager and itchy.

"Jiang Yuan, game completed, Youzi joins the team."

Mai Mizukami calmly watched the interaction between her favorite boy and Yuko.

Having guessed Jiang Yuan's thoughts to some extent, she felt very uncomfortable.

She hates sharing her boy with other girls.

She only wanted Jiang Yuan's gaze to stay on her.

but…………

She imagined Jiang Yuan bluntly stating that he liked all of them.

With that serious expression, Mizukami Mai didn't seem to be lying at all.

Jiang Yuan likes her, but he also likes Youzi and Mio.

Mai Mizukami had considered convincing herself to give up.

But she couldn't do it.

Only Jiang Yuan would take the initiative to talk to me.

Only Jiang Yuan pays attention to her little details.

Only Jiang Yuan didn't find her strange and even liked her quirky personality.

Only Jiang Yuan would notice her unique way of showing concern.

Only Jiang Yuan…

…………

Only this boy, Mizukami Mai, didn't want to give up.

So Mai Mizukami came up with a solution.

'As long as I seize the most important place in Jiang Yuan's heart first, and then quickly consummate our relationship after graduation.'

'Jiang Yuan, who likes her, will definitely like her even more. If she just acts cute a little more, Jiang Yuan will definitely pamper her.'

'Moreover, Jiang Yuan's grades are excellent, and so are mine.'

'Whichever university my son goes to, I'll go to too.'

'Yuko is an idiot, and Mio's grades are average; it's almost impossible for them to get into the university they attend.'

'That way, I'll have more time to spend with Jiang Yuan, and less time to interact with Mio Yuko and the others.'

'This way, my position in Jiang Yuan's heart will only become more and more important, my interactions with Mio Yuko will become less and less, and it will also prevent Jiang Yuan from getting involved with other women.'

Adjusting her glasses, a glint of light flashed beneath Mai Mizukami's half-open, adorably serene eyes.

She had already made plans.

but……

Thinking back to that time, Mai Mizukami repeatedly confirmed that she couldn't have seen wrong those scarlet eyes.

'The boy I love possesses magical powers...'

If it weren't for his own sake, Jiang Yuan might not have been exposed for a long time.

What kind of person is qualified to win the affection of many girls?

Power, money, emotions... these are all things.

Jiang Yuan's affection for them was gentle and sincere.

This is what made Mizukami Mai and the others truly fall in love with Eien; her appearance was merely a bonus.

So what kind of person is qualified to make them willing to put aside their reservations and share the boy they like with other girls?

Mai Mizukami derived the answer from the events of the morning.

That is, having the "power" to make society compromise or even appease you.

Mizukami Mai didn't know exactly what kind of power Jiang Yuan possessed.

But her intuition told her that Jiang Yuan was hiding something very well.

Her boy definitely possesses the power to make this society compromise.

He possesses the confidence that the girl he loves will also love him and won't leave him.

So Mai Mizukami knew that her plan might not work.

If the plan continues, Jiang Yuan will see through it.

She didn't want her boy to hate her; she just wanted Jiang Yuan to pay more attention to her and let him know that Mai, who liked him, had always liked Jiang Yuan.

So Mai gave up.

Jiang Yuan possesses power, the power to win their favor and prevent them from leaving him.

Mizukami Mai also doesn't want to give up on Eri.

Then there's only one way left.

That is……

Jiang Yuan seemed to have noticed his gaze and was looking at him with gentle eyes.

Mizukami Mai looked at Jiang Yuan with a calm expression, but her heart was full of determination.

'To become the most important person in Jiang Yuan's heart!'

Even if I'm just one of them, I want to be the most important!

Her boy loved her silliness, her cunning, her incomprehensible words and actions, and everything about Mizukami Mai.

'So if I just respond to the boy's affections and let Mai Mizukami enter more of his heart, then...'

"I won."

"What's a game that's been cleared...? And what did Mai win this time...?"

Looking into Mai's usual adorable, blank eyes, Naganohara Mio couldn't help but sigh.

'As expected of Mai... Sono'

"I heard everyone wants to draw promotional posters, right? Well, the teacher has given permission, so everyone should do their best!"
