Chapter 157 - Chapter 157

Akira Fujimiya watched Meguri Shiromeguri patrol away before heading toward Sakurasou.

Isshiki Iroha had some expectations.

When she learned that there was a vacant room available, she immediately expressed her desire to move in.

"Sakurasou only rents rooms to people who need them, not to Kouhai (juniors) like you," Akira rejected her without hesitation.

"I need a room too! Although I have my own house, it's very lonely living alone… I'm scared," Isshiki Iroha said, her eyes darting away when she mentioned being scared.

"Really? Then give me the key to your house and I'll come to see you every night," Akira said, stretching out his hand casually.

"…" Iroha froze, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Yuigahama Yui and the others didn't say anything; They could tell Akira was joking.

They were already used to this.

.....

Later, back at Sakurasou.

Tsurumi Saori had prepared dinner.

While, Tsurumi Rumi and Kawasaki Keika were sitting together on the couch, watching TV.

After picking up her sister, Kawasaki Saki went to work at Future Comics Publishing House.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was in the yard, holding the cat and reading a new manga.

{T/N: She is becoming an Otaku}

Yes, it was the cat from the student council. She had found it during her lunch break and decided to take care of it.

Yukinoshita Yukino had no objection, but asked Hiratsuka-sensei to leave the cat in the student council room during work hours and take it home in the afternoon.

When Isshiki Iroha sat down, she felt that Sakurasou was more like a home than an apartment.

Everyone gathered together, eating delicious food—it felt like a family.

Saori Tsurumi was helping take care of Kawasaki Keika, while Tsurumi Rumi no longer needed much attention.

Isshiki Iroha sat next to Akira, and on the other side sat Hiratsuka-sensei.

Iroha behaved very well, not asking many questions or saying much.

....

After dinner.

Ebina Hina and Miura Yumiko decided to stay in the same room with Yuigahama Yui.

They have to make some space since the room was small but it was comfortable enough for them to sleep.

Akira, on the other hand, left with Isshiki Iroha.

On the way to the station, the streetlights cast a soft glow on the quiet road.

"Senpai, the atmosphere here is really great. Everyone feels like family," Isshiki Iroha said softly.

"Do you really live alone?" Akira glanced at her.

"Well… I just felt that my house was too noisy, so I moved out. It feels pretty nice living alone," Iroha said, lowering her head slightly.

"It sounds like there's a story behind that," Akira said as he looked at her.

"I'll tell you when I get a chance," she replied with a faint smile.

"If you don't want to go home, I can let you stay at Sakurasou....I can give you a home," Akira said after a short silence.

Isshiki Iroha was stunned for a moment upon hearing those words.

Then, she quietly leaned closer toward him.

{T/N: Hey! Where is your usual behavior ——"Senpai Ah! Do you like me, sorry but I can't be with you since you already have a GF, please forget me and live a happy live" Something like that}

.....

Later that night —

Akira sent Isshiki Iroha to the station.

When he returned to Sakurasou, he noticed the lights on the second floor.

Sakurasou was indeed becoming livelier than ever.

"Fujimiya-kun."

Saki Kawasaki's voice came from near the entrance of the Kawasaki family's door.

"Thank you for your hard work," Akira said, smiling at her.

"It's not hard. I actually feel very fulfilled. I really want to be someone like Miss Hanada," Saki said softly.

"Then aim for the university as Hanada Yui," Akira replied, stepping closer.

"..I'll try my best…" Saki said, her cheeks flushing slightly as she lowered her gaze, as the distance between them lower.

"Is your sister reading?" Akira asked gently.

Saki nodded, a faint anticipation in her eyes.

Akira got his answer and gently hugged her.

Then, he leaned down and kissed her.

Saki didn't refuse. Instead, she responded shyly but sincerely, as she feel like lips touching hers.

Just then—

Cough, cough.

A deliberate cough echoed nearby.

Saki quickly pushed Akira away, her face red as she looked toward the sound.

Akira turned and saw Hiratsuka Shizuka standing there by the door.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, if you've caught a cold, you should drink more hot water," Akira said calmly.

"I have something to talk to you about," Hiratsuka-sensei said, glaring at him.

"Sensei, it's quite late. Are you sure it's appropriate for me to go to your room at this hour—"

"It's about Haruno," Hiratsuka interrupted sharply before he could finish and walked inside.

"...."

Akira looked at her, then turned to see the flustered Saki Kawasaki.

"Good night," he said softly.

"Good night…" she murmured, her cheeks still burning as she quickly returned to her room.

Akira walked toward Hiratsuka-sensei's room.

As soon as he entered, he slipped on the indoor slippers and walked into the living room.

...

5 minutes later —

Hiratsuka Shizuka was sitting on the sofa, arms crossed, looking straight at him.

Akira sat down and noticed the teacup on the table. He picked it up and poured himself some tea.

"Wait a moment—"

Before Hiratsuka could finish her sentence, Akira had already lifted the cup and taken a long sip.

After finishing it in one go, he looked at her and smiled.

"What's wrong, Sensei?"

"N-No… nothing."

Hiratsuka's face turned slightly red, and her gaze flicked toward the cup in his hand.

Akira caught her expression immediately. With a faint smile, he poured himself another cup.

"Sensei's tea tastes really sweet. I personally like it a lot," he said, his voice calm and...teasing.

"....As long as you like it," Hiratsuka muttered, turning her head away to hide her blush.

"You actually wants to ask," Akira continued, setting the cup down, "is why Mrs. Yukinoshita handed the company over to Haruno, right?"

"Does that have anything to do with you?" Hiratsuka asked, frowning.

Akira nodded without hesitation.

Hiratsuka looked at him deeply, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Even if you used some method to influence things, it's still not the right time for Haruno to take control of the Yukinoshita company."

"Sensei, there's no such thing as a perfect time. If Haruno can survive this, she'll be able to manage the Yukinoshita Group perfectly. If she can't, I'll step in to help and push for a complete transformation," Akira said firmly, shaking his head.

"Do you even have that kind of ability?" Hiratsuka asked doubtfully.

"Sensei," Akira replied, smirking faintly, "have you forgotten how I defeated you?"

At that, Hiratsuka fell silent.

Akira's expression softened as he picked up the teacup again.

"For me, not many thing can be considered impossible."

'And their is System rewards too, only after 2 rewards.. I was able to do this much and I didn't even used the full capacity of the second reward..' He inwardly added, as a faint smile appear in his face.

After a moment, Hiratsuka sighed and said gently, "If you have the time, go and see Haruno...It's not easy for her to support the Yukinoshita company alone."

Akira didn't reply.

He finished the tea, stood up, and walked toward the door.

Before leaving, he turned back slightly.

"I will," he said quietly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka watched him go, a faint sigh escaping her lips.

She knew she shouldn't be interfering, but—they were all her students.

....

Later that night —

When Akira returned to his room, he found three girls sitting in the living room, wearing pajamas and discussing about the game "Madoka Magica."

They glanced at him as he entered, then went back to their discussion.

Akira didn't disturb them.

He went to his bedroom, grabbed a change of clothes, and stepped into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, he came out in pajamas, drying his hair with a towel.

"Akira-kun, do you want to see the results of our discussion? I'd like you to give us some advice," Yuigahama Yui asked with a bright smile.

"Let me take a look," Akira said as he sat down between Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui.

Ebina Hina was in charge of the plot, which didn't completely follow the original Madoka Magica storyline—it had been altered to make it gentler and more emotionally engaging.

The puzzle-solving section created by Saki Kawasaki was complete—simple enough for children to enjoy, though still challenging.

Yuigahama Yui and Miura Yumiko were handling the character designs and background settings; the base plot was already outlined.

All these papers and sketches spread across the table formed the foundation of the game.

With these, production wasn't as difficult as it might seem. There was no need to hire a major studio; even a small team could do it well.

Akira carefully reviewed the plot, then the character details, and finally came to a conclusion.

It was a simple yet captivating story.

Moreover, it had the potential to be adapted into a spin-off anime.

"This could be handed over to Future Animation," Akira said, putting down the script pages.

"Huh?" The three girls looked at him in surprise.

"I think the story you've created is really good. It can serve as a side story to Madoka Magica. Of course, the production team will need to make some adjustments—it can't be handled by Flash Animation," Akira explained.

"Can this really be made into an anime?" Yuigahama Yui asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

"Animation isn't as hard as you think. What matters most," Akira said with a faint smirk, "is that someone's willing to pay for it."

"Wait, does that mean Akira-kun is going to fund the animation?" Miura Yumiko asked, realizing what he meant.
