Kyoto

(1 out of 2 chapters this week)

Around midway, Ai fell asleep, the beauty cuddled so much that she ended up snoozing off.

Raynor simply stroked her hair and allowed her to rest. The Weeb in him is saying that his darling idol is most likely tired and needs to recharge her batteries.

So he is more than eager to help her rest. As an all-rested idol will be more eager to cuddle with him some more.

'Ah, the infinite loop of cuddles… truly glorious.'

For now, he stopped watching anime and proceeded to switch to music while he pulled out his government-issued phone and started to check more people for his game project.

For visuals, there is this Mashiro Shiina, a girl who looks like a cat. From the looks of it, she has autism. She is fully focused on her drawing and she is very good at drawing. Like godly…

'From the description, it sounds like she is a pet…'

Then for the audio…he has Ai, but she is the voice actress. What about audio? There are a bunch of idols and idol companies which make songs for the girls to sing.

But is there any sort of girl who does just that?

That's why he ended up in a pickle. How to progress? Get a studio or get a couple of girls or just one girl? Well, he can decide that AFTER this trip.

As he placed the phone back he looked through the window. They have finally entered Kyoto. They are still quite some distance away but at least there is somewhere to look.

"Hnnnn~"

"Wakey-wakey~" Raynor poked her cheek.

"No~ I am just fine here~" She brushed his finger aside while rubbing her cheek into his neck.

"Now you just pretending~"

"Maybe~"

After a few minutes, she got up and proceeded to look where they were.

"Are we close?"

"Yeah, this is Kyoto."

"Ok. I have been here a couple of times before but haven't seen much." She leisurely explained to him as she looked through the window.

"Don't worry this time we will see a lot of things." He softly said to the girl.

"Great! A date it is then." She exclaimed with a lazy but extremely happy voice.

"Of course~"

"Hehehe~"

~~~

As the buses arrived students proceeded to leave their buses and collect their luggage. The teachers proceeded to see the reception to get keys to the rooms.

A few minutes later Raynor arrived at the classic Japanese room. Wooden floor, sliding doors, he will even sleep on a mat! Like in classic Japanese houses.

"...damn this is so cool." Internally he was all geeky about this situation! Hell, he should do this more often! These kinds of inns with hot springs are simply awesome!

"Boys! You have 30 minutes to settle down and then meet at the main hall."

"Yes, sensei!"

After saying her bit Hiratsuka-sensei went to tell others.

"So one room for four people," Raynor said after looking around. He was with Ikemen the blondie, Hikigaya and some other dude…

"Yeah. I guess." Hikigaya nodded as he looked around.

"What do you think we are going to do today?" The blonde wanted some idle chat. The Storm King never talked with him before.

"I don't think we have anything excessive. We have around 4 to 5 hours left. Maybe we will see a couple of places before calling it a day."

The Godslayer said what he was thinking about this situation.

"I see the point. I wonder if there are any restaurants around here. Anyway, I will see you later, Hikitani and Valeron-san."

The blonde left the room, the other dude was gone as well. This only left Hikigaya and Raynor.

"That guy…he can spell your western name properly but he still struggles with my name…" Hachiman mumbled to himself.

"...I think that Ikeman sees you as a friend."

"...Ikeman? Him? Please, you are a true Ikeman…" The guy rolled his eyes at Raynor.

"...Me? I am not blonde." The Storm King scoffed he was a weeb through and through.

"Ikeman is not just blond. It's the definition of a successful good-looking guy."

"Hmm… I see… well whatever… he is still Ikeman to me." Raynor shrugged at him. The blonde is still Ikeman of the Rom-Com school he is attending.

"...If you say so." Hachiman didn't understand how he could call Hayato Hayama an Ikeman. Sure the guy is handsome and many girls HAD a crush on him. The key word is had. Now everyone is more curious about an Actual Prince attending their school.

Raynor's fame has skyrocketed their school's fame.

At least this is what Hachiman Hikigaya has heard. He is not that interested in the whole thing. However, it is not surprising that because of Godslayer, the nation's famous idol and famous writer transferred into their school.

He still remembers people sneaking around looking for Ai Hoshino, but they could never find her.

It's like she is an assassin of some sort who can sneak and hide easily.

As he was thinking about the idol their doors opened up and Ai poked her head in.

"Ray, are you done? Can I come in?"

"Of course."

The purple-haired girl strolled in and started to look around.

"Your room is exactly like ours." She said with a disappointed tone.

"You know this is a hotel." His response to her was an eye roll.

"Yeah, I know…" She eventually ended up next to him

"So where will you be sleeping?"

She asked with a very curious tone.

"...Why do you ask? Are you planning to sneak in?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Knowing how bold this girl is there is a very high possibility this will happen.

"Maybe~~~" She winked at him.

While the pair were talking with suggestive tones Hachiman was slowly retreating and silently left the room. He was quite shocked at how naughty the famous idol is. Suggesting such things in broad daylight like that!

As he left the room he quickly ended up face-to-face with Yui Yuigahama who was with Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Oh! Hiki! You are here. Yukinon just told me that we might have a mission!"

"...A mission?"

"Yes, Hikigaya. One of our classmates needs help."

'This is just great… Where Valeron most likely is having 'fun' with Ai Hoshino I will end up with a Service Club assignment! Wait! Are we even functioning when we are on a trip like this!?'

"...do we even take these at this moment? We are on a trip!"

"Don't be such a lazy bum. Besides, this is quite important." The black-haired girl sharply told him.

"...fine. What is it?"

"One of Hayama's friends wants to ask out Ebina Hina. Who in question came to us and asked to make sure he doesn't ask her out."

"...What?"

Hachiman Hikigaya remembered who Ebina Hina was…the only thing he knew was that she liked Yaoi…and constantly fantasised about it. That girl even likes to pair guys randomly. But this is something he believes is a cover to keep guys away. As the girl's is quite beautiful.

"So who is the guy who wants to ask her out?"

"Kakeru Tobe."

At that moment Hachiman remembered this guy who always hung out with Hayama Hayato.

"...Can't we just ask Valeron to pull something from an anime and be done with it?" The lazy bum scratched his head with annoyance as he exclaimed.

"...anime?" Yukino was confused. What is this guy talking about? Her confusion only lasted for a second as she recovered and proceeded to explain more.

"While I have no idea what you are talking about involving Raynor is a bad idea."

"And why is our Lord's involvement bad?" Erica's voice made Yukino turn stiff.

The black-haired girl turned around and saw Erica accompanied by Liliana and Ena walk over.

What shocked Yukino, Yui and Hachiman was that the trio were dressed in Kimonos.

Was it only ten minutes since they arrived here? How quickly did they change!?

"...This…we need subtle action here. He is like a lighthouse. Especially with Ai Hoshino."

"Hmm, tell me what is it you want? Why do you need 'subtle' action?"

Yukino sighed when she heard that. These knights are so noisy… Why can't they allow her to deal with this?

"Fine, let me start from the beginning."

And so once again the black-haired girl explained to the pair of knights and Hime-Miko.

"...I see…this girl sure is selfish…" Erica mumbled to herself.

"So what do you think?"

"... It's simple. When he is about to confess his love we need to interrupt him." The blonde casually shrugged after thinking for a few short seconds.

"That kinda makes sense." Yui Yuigahama blinked her eyes when she realised how easy the solution was.

'There you go! Solution! As expected of the main character's harem! Leave it to the Main Heroines to deal with this nonsense!'

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in relief. As expected of the main cast. These guys know their stuff.

"...I suppose what is the plan?"

"Easy is it not? Just exclaim loudly. Maybe get a passionate kiss from our Lord~ Yu-ki-no-chan~" Erica teased the black-haired girl for a second.

"...You…" Yukino blushed for a second. There is no way she will do something extreme in public to stop a confession!

"See? Something like that would work, and here you pondered what to do~" Erica poked her cheek.

"Oh by the way. Our Lord is expecting you in a Kimono as well."

Yukino's eyes widened as she recalled something he had said before the trip about them dressing up.

"Fine… I will change then."

"Great! we will help you out~"

Sure enough, Erica grabbed Yukino and started to pull her back into the depths of the hotel.

"...wow…never expected Yukinon to end up manhandled like that." Yui was in awe of how Yukinoshita had been handled.

"I am still confused about how he can control this harem thing of his. I thought girls could be unreasonable." Hikigaya commented with hands in his pockets. Sure it's fun to be an observer in this light novel plot.

"...I don't know… it's strange to me as well." The girl next to him was confused as well.

The pair are baffled at how Yukino entered this thing as well. The pair can understand the knights and Shrine maiden who have most likely been raised in this kind of environment but Yukino is part of the regular bunch.

'Yeah…she knows something… this is so much like a Light Novel plot.'

The lazy guy only reaffirmed his decision. This was indeed a light novel plot.

~~~

"Agh!?" Ai Hoshino, who had messed up hair from long kissing sessions, noticed that other girls were dressed up in kimonos and she was not!

"W-What!? Where did you get those!?" The idol asked with a needy look. That's not fair! She wants to dress up for her beloved as well!

"We prepared these when we learned that we would be going to Kyoto," Erica said with a regal voice as she opened a fan and flicked it elegantly.

"... that's…great idea."

"Indeed, and we knew you wouldn't have a chance to get one. Since you are busy with your idol work. So I have prepared one for you." The blonde almost boasted about how she prepared for this.

"...Oh wow! You did that for me!?"

"Don't get the wrong idea. We are in the same boat. It would look bad on us if 80% of girls are ready and 20% are not. If you know what I mean."

Ai nodded at Erica's explanation. It made some sense to her. She never considered that? It's it some sort of harem reputation thing?

Regardless, once again the girls pulled the remaining girl to dress up.

The last kimono they had was one with sakura petals, all the girls dressed up in kimono robes according to their colouring.

Erica was red, Liliana was light blue, and Ena was white and red, just like Hime-Miko's colours and Yukino was Icy blue.

Once the girls were ready they quickly got the attention of the rest of the students who were already waiting in the Hall.

*Gasp*

*Whispering*

"It appears we have the spotlight." Erica once again opened her fan and proceeded to 'cool' herself down. Everyone will know that Raynor's harem is ready for this trip.
