Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

People are all curious. The man subconsciously opened the envelope. The moment he saw the photos, his face turned ashen. His head probably felt like it had turned green. Few men could endure the rage of discovering their wife was cheating with a pretty boy. Of course, if that person chose to forgive his wife or pretend it never happened, Asagi would be helpless. Things needed to be prepared with a backup plan.

Asagi sent another set of photos directly to the Student Council office at Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School. How could Jin Mitaka date six women and still be so carefree? Because no one had reported his chaotic private life. Yet, not only was he photographed kissing a married woman, but also with other girlfriends. Asagi was simply making use of this.

With the matter concerning Jin Mitaka set in motion, all that remained was to wait. And then, there was Sorata Kanda.

It was even simpler to make Sorata Kanda voluntarily leave Sakura Dormitory. To put it plainly, this kind-hearted boy just couldn't stop picking up abandoned kittens. However, the main Suimei University dormitories did not allow pets. So he was forced to live in Sakura Dormitory, the so-called "gathering place for eccentrics."

They were called eccentrics, but in fact, most people in Sakura Dormitory were geniuses misunderstood by ordinary people. Sorata Kanda was just an ordinary person with a bit of kindness, and living here, being viewed with strange eyes, put a lot of pressure on him. Therefore, during this time, he had been desperately looking for suitable owners for the cats, trying to rehome them one by one.

However, it was as if Asagi had guessed correctly. Those cats that were sent away, after becoming mothers, seemed to have heavily promoted him within the local cat community. As a result, he gained the cats' favor, and whenever there were kittens, they would be left on his usual path, waiting for him to find them. If this continued, the number of cats he picked up would only increase. Something like gaining the favor of cats would probably make a certain Second Daughter of the Yukinoshita family very envious. It was said that Yukino Yukinoshita often prepared cat food in her bag to feed strays, but unfortunately, the cats never seemed to approach her.

Ahem, back to the main topic. To make Sorata Kanda voluntarily leave Sakura Dormitory,all that was needed was to deal with the cats he had picked up. Of course, Asagi wasn't so cruel as to think of harming them. That day, he contacted the owner of a famous local pet store, offered a significant sum, and asked her to come and take most of the cats from Sakura Dormitory. Well, just leave two or three. Sakura Dormitory could still use a few pets for ambiance.

Why couldn't Sorata Kanda send the cats away himself? The reason was simple. He was just an ordinary student without much money, and finding truly suitable, loving owners wasn't easy. But the pet store owner Asagi contacted was different. This owner was also a genuine cat lover. Besides running a pet supply store, she also ran a 'cat café'—the kind of place specifically for healing young people where they could come and pet cats. Since they made money by letting people interact with cats, the shop would definitely take excellent care of them, keeping them clean and healthy every day. So there would be no abuse.

Moreover, Asagi also invested money, which was equivalent to sponsorship. In the end, the owner even offered him a 10% share of the café's dividends because he gave so much. She felt embarrassed; her shop originally needed more cats. Asagi not only provided cats but also capital. This made the owner feel he was also a true cat lover, a man with a gentle heart who cared for small animals. That's why she was willing to share the profits.

After the matter was settled, he asked the owner to return to Sakura Dormitory with him. He let the owner talk to Sorata Kanda directly. On the way, he took the opportunity to jot down some notes for a game proposal. The theme... something like a "magical girl" story, but with a darker, more healing twist. The most famous Magical Girl anime in this world was currently "Magical Girl Meruru," with several series already released. If Kirino Kosaka existed in this world, she would probably have bought all the merchandise.

Kirino Kosaka, from Oreimo, is a classic tsundere little sister heroine. However, compared to the tsundere Kirino, when Asagi watched anime, he preferred Kirino's best friend, Ayase Aragaki. Ayase Aragaki also had the nickname 'Little Angel'. She was a very cute and kind-hearted girl.

Ahem, I've strayed too far. Back to the main topic. Before Asagi was reincarnated,he had written web novels for a time. Therefore, drafting a Magical Girl proposal was relatively easy. After finishing the general plot outline, he and the pet store owner arrived at Sakura Dormitory.

"Kanda, are you home? Come out for a moment, I have something important to tell you." "I'm here!"Hearing the call, Sorata Kanda quickly opened his door and came out. Seeing Asagi and a gentle, mature-looking older sister next to him, he immediately felt a bit shy. "Um,Landlord, what is it? And who is this...?"

Asagi smiled slightly and introduced her. "This is Miss Satomi Ishihara, the owner of the pet culture store on Chiba Commercial Street." "Haven't you always wanted to find suitable owners for the cats?" "Miss Ishihara here runs a pet store and also a specialized cat café." "If you're willing,you can entrust the cats to her care."

"Eh, really?" Sorata Kanda showed a surprised expression, but after looking back at the cats in his room, he hesitated again. "I do want to find good homes for them all,but... that is..."

Satomi Ishihara smiled gently. "Little brother, I know your concerns. You're afraid I might not be a good person and will treat the cats poorly, right?" "You can come with me to visit my pet shop and the cat café.Once you see the living environment and the level of care the cats receive, you should be able to make a decision." "So,young man, will you come with me?"

"Yes!" Sorata Kanda was captivated by Satomi Ishihara's gentle tone, and his face flushed crimson. He nodded in agreement without a second thought.

Then, Satomi Ishihara took Sorata Kanda and left. It seemed the matter was settled. With this connection to Satomi Ishihara, if Sorata Kanda picked up any more cats in the future, he could send them directly to her. This way, he could finally return to the main school dormitory and wouldn't have to stay in Sakura Dormitory. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

While he had time, Asagi placed the finished game proposal draft at Misaki Kamiigusa's room door. Then, all that was left was to wait.

During this time, Sayu Ogiwara was diligently cleaning, kneeling on the floor to wipe it. Occasionally, the girl would look at him with resentful eyes, her small mouth pouted slightly. She was probably jealous. After all, last night, she was the one in Asagi's arms first. But then Misaki Kamiigusa had taken her place. And what made her feel ashamed was that it seemed she couldn't satisfy Asagi alone, which was why Misaki-senpai had ended up taking the main position. What kind of situation was this?

Although Sayu Ogiwara had long anticipated that Asagi would have other girls in mind besides herself, truly facing such a situation still made her heart ache. With other girls around, could she still continue to enjoy Asagi's gentleness? She felt panicked about this.

As she was feeling down, a warm, large palm landed on her head, gently stroking it twice. "What are you thinking about,looking so troubled?"

It was Asagi. This simple, warm gesture quickly made Sayu Ogiwara's eyes well up with tears.
