They also had those senior boys, but they were all wondering if any brave warrior in their high school life could win the favor of these two school beauties.
But now that the two school beauties had gotten together themselves, they could only express their helpless complaints in their hearts.
Kasumigaoka-senpai dragged Eriri all the way to an empty classroom before stopping, then she seriously asked about Shiina Mashiro.
These days, because she was practicing Ripple Breathing and discussing with the girls in the chat group about how to find the Mysterious Person, it wasn't until after the autograph session that her editor reminded her that the deadline for the next volume was approaching.
For the past two days, she had been staying up late at home writing her novel, and today she barely woke up in time to go to school.
Then, just as she was about to reach school, she received a thank-you email from Eriri.
She read it for a while before realizing that Eriri had actually met Shiina Mashiro, and it seemed they had even reached some agreement behind her back.
At this, she immediately perked up. After entering school, she didn't even have time to put down her schoolbag and ran directly to Eriri's class to pull her out.
"So when did she come over? What did you two talk about?"
Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka-senpai, whose expression was a bit subtle, not knowing why the other party seemed so nervous.
But after all, they were now partners, so Eriri patiently explained to the other party about her meeting with Mashiro.
"You mean, starting today, Shiina Mashiro is a student at our school?" Kasumigaoka-senpai couldn't help but frown.
She already knew Mashiro's identity through Four Palaces's information, and she was also aware that if the other party really wanted to transfer, their school would definitely warmly welcome this world-class painting genius to become a Toyosaki student.
So why would the other party become a student at Toyosaki High School?
Could it really be to draw that Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend manga, so she specifically transferred to observe them?
It seems the other party is serious about this.
Kasumigaoka-senpai then remembered that Eriri, that silly girl, had agreed to Mashiro's request completely defenselessly, seemingly unaware of what that girl actually intended to do with her identity.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache, and for a moment didn't know how to explain it to the girl in front of her.
"Anyway, I told you before, didn't I? I met some friends online, and that included that particularly nasty hacker."
Eriri nodded slightly. This matter always made her angry when she thought about it, but she didn't know why Kasumigaoka-senpai suddenly brought it up again.
"Because Shiina Mashiro is also a friend I met in that group, and she also knows about our situation here."
"Although that manga has nothing to do with her, she seems to find such a story very interesting, so she even specifically asked me if we could adapt our story into a manga."
"At the time, I didn't think much of it, I just said it was fine, but she still needed to get your consent."
"I didn't expect that Renji, who seems quite naive, would have such strong initiative. Now she has already gotten the consent of the three of us, only missing your childhood friend's consent..."
"No, I remember Miyauchi Kōka is in the same class as Renji. Maybe they've already gotten Renji's consent by now."
Kasumigaoka-senpai was still thinking that Mashiro would need some preparation time, and she wanted to use this time to contact the other party again and use her better manga ideas to dissuade the other party.
Who would have thought that in just two days, the other party would directly transfer and go all out?
However, Eriri seemed equally perceptive in this regard.
"Wait, you just said 'the three of us,' right? And Aki Tomoya doesn't seem to be included in these three people, so besides you and me, whose consent did she get?"
She remembered that there weren't many female characters in that manga.
It couldn't be Kasumigaoka-senpai's editor, could it?
Kasumigaoka-senpai then realized that she had accidentally spoiled it for the girl in front of her.
But it had already come to this point, and Mashiro's manga would probably be drawn soon, so she didn't think there was anything to hide.
"Ah, I didn't tell you, did I? That hacker has a particularly nasty personality. Besides that manga, Renji also found a classmate of Aki Tomoya from somewhere, and then, with that female classmate as the protagonist, had the two of us as supporting characters write a novel."
After Kasumigaoka-senpai finished speaking, Eriri's expression clearly became much uglier.
She could actually distinguish Kasumigaoka-senpai's manga.
After all, in that manga, Aki Tomoya was only ever a couple with the Kasumigaoka-senpai in the manga, and her figure as a childhood friend never appeared, which was clearly very unreasonable.
But now, Kasumigaoka-senpai was telling her that that bastard had actually created another work using their images, and in that work, he had even made both of them supporting characters?
Although it might be a bit impolite to say so, Eriri was quite confident in her appearance.
She believed that in this school, besides the fat woman in front of her, no other woman could compare to her.
Shiina Mashiro, who just transferred today, doesn't count.
She had secretly researched the girls in Aki Tomoya's class and confirmed that none of the girls in that class posed any threat to her.
So what kind of taste did that bastard have? If he wanted to disgust Kasumigaoka-senpai, no matter what, she should be the protagonist of the story, right?
Thinking of this, Eriri gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"Tell me who that woman is! I want to see what ability that woman has to be chosen as the protagonist!"
Outside the principal's office, Renji Miyauchi, who had just finished handling the remaining procedures for Shiina Mashiro with Shiina Asahi, sneezed.
The ability from the Name Curse had been reminding him since just now that within a hundred meters of him, two girls were frantically complaining about him.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura and Kasumigaoka-senpai, huh.
That's normal, so it's not surprising.
It seemed that Mashiro's sudden transfer caught Kasumigaoka-senpai off guard, and now she was blaming everything on him.
Speaking of which, he got another volume of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend novel yesterday, and he already had the sixth volume. The serialization in the diary had also reached the third volume.
To help Mashiro focus more wholeheartedly on creating manga, he would work harder these few days and try to get all the Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend novels and anime out.
As he thought this to himself, Shiina Asahi beside him also found this time to be alone with Renji.
"Renji Miyauchi, I hope it's okay if I just call you Renji."
Shiina Asahi looked at Renji, who was slightly taller than him, and extended an invitation to chat.
Coincidentally, Renji didn't know much about Shiina Mahiru's father and didn't know what the other party thought of Shiina Mahiru. So he temporarily ignored Kasumigaoka-senpai's situation and nodded to Shiina Asahi.
"Although class is about to start, the principal should say a few words to help. Let's just walk around the school playground for a bit and chat about Mashiro and Mahiru."
The weather today was very nice, and walking on the playground, basking in the sun, felt very comfortable.
Shiina Asahi also seemed to be thinking about how to start the conversation. After walking about half a circle, he slowed down and asked about Renji's family situation.
"Judging by your sister's accent, you two aren't from Tokyo, are you? How do you feel about the pressure of studying in Tokyo?"
Is this starting to confirm the family backgrounds, to see if they are a good match, huh?
Renji silently complained to himself.
"It's alright. My sister doesn't have any pressure to get into a good school. When the time comes, if she wants to go to university, she'll go; if not, she can do what she wants."
"As for me, I haven't decided yet whether to go to Tōdai or Tokyo University of the Arts, but since it's only my first year of high school, there's no need to rush into a decision."
Tōdai (The University of Tokyo) or Tokyo University of the Arts.
One is Japan's best university, and the other is Japan's only national art university. These two seem quite different, don't they?
If anyone else had said such words, Shiina Asahi might not have paid attention.
But listening to Renji's calm tone, it inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction, as if he could truly do it.
If this young man wasn't an incompetent good-for-nothing, then he was a true talent.
Moreover, judging from what the other party said, their family should also have some status.
Shiina Asahi thought for a moment, then continued the conversation from the topic of university, wanting to know what path the other party would take if he chose Tokyo University of the Arts.
"It should be film or photography. After all, although I shot videos for a few years back in my hometown, it was self-taught, and it's still far from professional level."
Renji once again revealed his identity as the great director of Asahigaoka, and sure enough, Shiina Asahi's eyes changed.
He naturally wouldn't think those videos were crude or unprofessional; what he valued more was the series of profits generated by those videos.
When he attended some social gatherings, he also heard that many places were already planning to imitate Asahigaoka's method to promote their local areas.
He just didn't expect that those videos were made by this young man in front of him to revitalize his hometown?
At this moment, he somewhat believed that Renji wasn't bragging, and he also began to marvel at his niece's vision.
After only a few days back in Japan, she could find such a talented eccentric by her side.
However, in that case, it seemed he wouldn't be able to fulfill his elder brother's instructions.
Let Shiina Mashiro experience the life of a mangaka for one or two years. If she still finds that she doesn't have the ability in this area after drawing for a year or two, then bring her back.
Shiina Mashiro's parents actually had a hands-off attitude towards Mashiro as well, but they were slightly more responsible than him, this failed father.
Before Mashiro came to Japan, his elder brother had entrusted him with this.
His attitude before was similar. Besides thinking that his niece should relax for a year or two before coming of age, and also hoping that she would mature through the failure of manga, he also wanted to use Mashiro's name to slightly mend his relationship with his daughter.
He just didn't expect that his niece found Renji, such a talented eccentric. If she really achieved something with the other party's help within these one or two years, then how would he explain it to his elder brother?
He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
From his daughter's attitude, she clearly supported Mashiro. If he stopped her, his idea of mending his relationship with his daughter would probably completely fall through.
After thinking for a while, he still sighed.
Let's see how things go first. He didn't want to be the bad guy right now.
"Mashiro lacks common sense and her way of thinking is a bit different from ordinary people. If you help her, it will probably be very difficult in the future."
"Although these things should originally be handled by us elders, my situation with Mahiru's mother is quite complicated. You should be able to sense some of it, right?"
Renji nodded, indicating that as long as they weren't as carefree as his second sister, anyone could sense the problem.
Even Shiina Mashiro could sense it, which is why she never actively spoke to Shiina Asahi from beginning to end.
"Although my daughter seems very independent and strong, I can also feel her estrangement and rejection towards me and her mother. Even if something really happens, she will never actively come to me or her mother."
"At this point, I haven't thought about completely gaining Mahiru's forgiveness, I'm just worried that she will always put too much pressure on herself."
"So I hope you and your sister can help me take care of their sisters. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, you can also contact me. I will try to help without Mahiru noticing."
Renji could hear the man's self-reproach.
It seemed that compared to Shiina Mahiru's mother, who was completely unwilling to take responsibility and only wanted to completely cut ties with Mahiru once she came of age, this man still had some regrets in his heart, and therefore now wanted to secretly make amends.
However, this man probably wouldn't receive his call for help.
If he really encountered a problem that even he couldn't solve, then calling the other party for help would be even more meaningless.
He verbally agreed to the man's request and chatted with him for a while about the Shiina sisters.
However, Shiina Asahi's understanding of Shiina Mashiro's affairs seemed to be much more detailed than his daughter's life, which made the middle-aged man show a look of shame again in front of Renji, a high school student.
It wasn't until the end of the first class, when he heard the bell, that Shiina Asahi realized he had been chatting with this boy for a long time.
He hadn't felt it much before, but after chatting with the other party, he indeed felt that there was an inexplicable aura about this boy.
He hoped this boy could really take good care of his daughter and niece.
If this boy could really spark something with his daughter during their interactions, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
Shiina Asahi shook his head, feeling that he and his daughter had only just met the other party, and it was indeed too early to consider things so far in the future.
Shiina Asahi and Renji shook hands as equals, exchanged business cards and contact information, and then he left Toyosaki High School.
Coincidentally, on his way back to his classroom from the playground, he also bumped into Kasumigaoka-senpai and Eriri, who had just finished chatting.
Looking at the direction they were heading, they were probably planning to go directly to Shiina Mashiro to clarify the situation.
Renji originally intended to walk past them as a passerby.
But Kasumigaoka-senpai's eyes were quite sharp, and she immediately recognized him as the boy who accompanied Mashiro to her autograph session the day before yesterday.
She pulled Eriri and then greeted Renji.
"Is there anything, senpai?"
