Anime: I Want Harem-Chapter 60

"Shiyu-chan, don't keep such a cold face, smile a little."

Sitting in the publishing house's meeting room, discussing Utako Kasumigaoka's upcoming new work with the girl, Miss Machida teased her author in a very good mood.

"Inexplicable."

Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at her editor, unable to help but complain in her heart.

She couldn't understand the source of Sonoko Machida's goodwill towards Kosuke.

Although shy and difficult to get along with, Utaha wasn't actually a woman who would be pointlessly sharp-tongued.

It was just that Kosuke's first appearance had given her the impression of a delinquent who liked to fight.

Her impression wasn't good, in fact, it was quite terrible.

Her initial favorability towards Kosuke was negative.

Because he was a delinquent, her attitude towards him was even worse than that of an average passerby.

And because she had been verbally attacked by him that day, the girl was in a bad mood and went to bed early.

She had completely missed the trending search that day about Kosuke, Kotonoha, and Orchid being together.

Megumi hadn't asked, and Kitahara Kosuke, who had rushed over that day, hadn't offered even the slightest explanation to any of them, so it was no wonder that she and Eriri had this initial impression of Kosuke.

In a sense, Kosuke being disliked by the two-dimensional characters he liked was also due to his own arrogance.

If Utaha Kasumigaoka had seen the news about Kosuke, she might have changed her opinion of this junior, just like the policewoman and the waitress who understood Kosuke's personality...

She might have even felt guilty for her previous misunderstanding of him, leading to unexpected chemistry.

The way the two of them interacted would have been completely different.

...

On the other side, Kitahara Kosuke had originally intended to take Kotonoha Katsura to her home.

But he was politely refused.

After confirming that it wasn't because she disliked him, the two of them had some more drinks together while waiting, until Kosuke watched Kotonoha get into a car that had come to pick her up.

Inside the car was a fashionable young woman wearing sunglasses.

She seemed to scrutinize Kosuke outside the car with a very fierce expression, then ignored him without saying a word and quickly drove away.

Kitahara Kosuke tilted his head.

"Looks like my aunt doesn't like me..."

Thinking this in his heart, he wasn't angry and quickly returned to his own home.

Taking out a large suitcase at home, Kitahara Kosuke put a pile of clothes and daily necessities inside, and finally carried his laptop and the seemingly sleeping lazy cat on his back.

After checking his belongings and locking the door, Kitahara Kosuke left his house looking like he was about to travel.

Then he arrived at the place where Yoshida Saki was currently living.

Without saying a word, he skillfully opened the door with the key he took out of his pocket.

After changing into slippers in the entryway, he placed his luggage and the cat in the living room, and then went upstairs.

"Wait..."

Just as he was about to knock, Kitahara Kosuke stopped unconsciously as if he had remembered something...

After hesitating for a moment, he continued his action.

"Knock, knock, knock"

He knocked on the door rhythmically.

"Ah? Ahhh... I'm coming!"

This was Miss Yoshida's flustered reply.

Kosuke didn't urge her but waited patiently.

"As expected, I have to find something for this idiot to do..."

Thinking this in his heart, Kosuke became even more certain of the correctness of his decision.

"Hello, Kitahara-kun"

Looking at the open window inside that was probably for ventilation, and the computer wallpaper that had clearly been hastily switched back to the desktop.

He just stood there, looking at the idiot in front of him with a blank expression.

"Is it to be expected of a character born from the world of ero-games?!"

For a moment, Kosuke felt mentally and physically exhausted.

"Kitahara-kun, won't you come in?"

Having changed out of her high school uniform, Yoshida Saki, now dressed in casual home wear, tightly pressed her legs together and invited him with a flushed face.

As Kosuke had requested, although she was wearing glasses, she hadn't kept her braids.

Due to her actions alone at home just now, her condition was very abnormal.

If Kosuke wanted to, with just a little forcefulness, Miss Yoshida's resistance to being pushed down at this moment would be approximately zero.

And the girl wouldn't have any regrets afterward; on the contrary, she would be very happy that she had grown.

This fellow was that type.

"I've decided to move in starting today. Come downstairs and help."

Kitahara Kosuke said this, then turned and walked towards the stairs without waiting for the other party's reaction.

"..."

Miss Yoshida stood at the door, silent due to this shocking news.

"Huh? What did that person just say...?"

A long while later, a cute exclamation escaped her lips.

"Hurry up and come help!"

Kosuke said loudly from downstairs.

"Okay!"

Yoshida Saki, completely daring not to object to this man, hurriedly ran over.

...

Of course, Kitahara Kosuke wouldn't let a girl do manual labor.

Because the cleaning lady had come before, the room was quickly tidied up, and he moved in the necessary things.

Then, sitting in the dining room, looking at the plain-looking potato and beef curry rice placed on the table, he picked up his soup spoon.

He evenly scooped some rice and curry into his mouth and chewed.

"Too much salt."

Kitahara Kosuke said expressionlessly.

He had the urge to spit the rice out of his mouth.

In that instant, he was certain that this woman rarely cooked at all.

"I'm sorry."

Sitting to Kosuke's left, Yoshida Saki, wearing a snow-white apron, lowered her head somewhat fearfully.

"No need to apologize, I'm not angry. But you could stew the potatoes a little longer."

Kitahara Kosuke said, gently applying pressure to a potato with his spoon.

"Thunk"

The quickly cut potato bounced elastically to both sides, falling off the edge of the plate and rolling onto the table.

"O-okay."

Miss Yoshida looked at the cut potato and replied with embarrassment.

"And the curry... never mind, I'll teach you slowly later."

He pushed the curry rice on the table to the side; he couldn't eat this stuff at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he believed the girl absolutely didn't have the guts, he would suspect that this idiot was deliberately retaliating against him.

"Why do I have to make dinner for him?!"

Miss Yoshida frantically complained to herself like this, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Then, she spoke respectfully.

"Thank you, I'll be in your care then, Kitahara-kun."

Kosuke glanced at the idiot.

He knew what she was afraid of, but he wouldn't idly beat her.

But perhaps the way he had bullied Hayato-kun that day had left too deep an impression on her, causing this woman to still be afraid of him now.

He didn't quite know what to say.

"No need to thank me, because there's also something I want you to do."

Kitahara Kosuke tried to put on a smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Um, may I ask... what is it?"

Miss Yoshida suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Of course."

Kosuke said very happily.

But instead of directly answering the question, he asked back.

"Let me ask first, Saki, do you have any plans for your future life?"

"Plans as in..."

Suddenly asked this question, Yoshida Saki, clearly unprepared, looked completely blank.

"I mean, whether you want to go to university after graduating high school, and what kind of career you plan to pursue in the future."

"Um, as for going to university, with my level, it's a bit difficult..."

Yoshida Saki replied with a very embarrassed expression...

"About what I thought."

Kitahara Kosuke stared straight at the girl sitting beside him, his tone neither happy nor disappointed.

Because in the short time they had interacted, he had already deeply understood the true nature of this idiot

.

"Hmm..."

Yoshida Saki suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

She wasn't essentially one of those truly bad girls, but her level of being a shut-in was too extreme, she was too naive, and she had interacted with too few people, so she didn't understand anything.

Feeling someone else's disappointment in her at this moment, she felt very depressed.

Looking at such a girl, because she wasn't truly hopeless, Kitahara Kosuke was willing to play the role of the villain and force her to grow up.

"Saki, become a light novelist."
