Harem Completion Plan

Upon returning to the Service Department, Makoto Amano wasted no time and initiated his first harem meeting.

It was unclear where he obtained a small blackboard, but he began writing on it the key points and current goals of the harem meeting.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, third-year Class C student, has a quiet demeanor, straight black hair, dark red eyes, tall figure, and a penchant for wearing black pantyhose and a white headband..."

Makoto Amano even displayed a photo of Kasumigaoka Utaha on the blackboard, though it was unknown who took it.

"Are appearances really that important?"

Yuigahama Yui muttered unhappily upon hearing this.

And is he already planning to establish a new "harem" so soon? Men really can be pigs!

"Additionally, Kasumigaoka-senpai excels academically and has been ranked first in her grade since entering school."

"Where did this manga-like beauty come from?"

While complaining, Yuigahama Yui secretly glanced at a certain black-haired girl sitting by the window, seemingly indifferent to Makoto Amano's speech.

Come to think of it, Yukino is almost like that...

"Furthermore, Kasumigaoka-senpai possesses literary talents. According to reliable sources, she has already published her debut light novel and become a successful new light novel author... This is the information we have on Kasumigaoka Utaha."

He put down the chalk and walked up to the other two girls in the Service Department.

"Now, the main purpose of this harem meeting is for you to come up with ideas to help me win over Kasumigaoka-senpai and make her a member of our harem... Ahem, I mean, to join our harem social experiment group."

Clearing his throat, He focused his gaze on the two girls in front of him.

"Yukino, please consider the meeting."

He directly pulled out the library book that Yukino was engrossed in.

Although this move earned him a cold glare from her.

"Don't interrupt my reading."

Ever since she saw Makoto Amano and Yuigahama Yui entering the Service Department hand in hand, her expression hadn't been very pleasant.

"But it's time for the meeting. And you haven't forgotten about our previous bet, have you?"

"Tsk..."

She reluctantly gave up on reclaiming her book.

The previous bet resulted in her losing the right to speak in the Service Department.

"Yui, please share your thoughts!"

Makoto Amano turned his attention to Yuigahama Yui, who had her hand raised.

"Why does Kasumigaoka-senpai have to join us? I have a feeling that she'll be quite troublesome."

She expressed her concerns about the future of the "harem department."

And... she also strongly resisted Makoto Amano's hasty pursuit of a "new love" interest.

"Because Kasumigaoka-senpai is a light novel author who writes about romance and stock speculation."

Makoto Amano gave an answer that left Yuigahama Yui utterly perplexed.

"We need to correct her misguided behavior and thoughts, making her understand that the harem is the true path and that harem literature is the path she should follow."

"?"

Numerous question marks filled Yuigahama Yui's mind.

However, she hesitated to ask for clarification, fearing that both Makoto Amano and Yukino would ridicule her lack of knowledge.

Instead, she exchanged a subtle glance with Yukino.

"Well..."

Yukino, who had no other option, proceeded to explain to her what stock speculation entailed.

"bla bla bla...."

"I see. So Amano-san's ultimate goal is to read 'harem' novels..."

Having heard Yukino's explanation, the innocent Yuigahama Yui felt slightly relieved.

"No, judging by this man's typically lustful desires, it's more likely that he's captivated by Kasumigaoka-senpai's appearance and body."

Yukino, always suspecting him with the utmost cynicism, grasped the essence he had tried to conceal.

"The reason I told you just now should be just his excuse."

"Yukino, your thinking is too narrow. If I were only focused on appearances, I wouldn't have enough time to plan a harem here..."

Makoto Amano clenched his fist.

"I am a man who aspires to be the king of the Harem. Rather than conquering physical bodies, I seek to conquer hearts. I want everyone to genuinely yearn for the existence of the harem from the depths of their souls, instead of simply reducing it to base sexual desire!"

"..."

Yuigahama Yui found herself slightly influenced by his fervent emotions at that moment.

Even though she didn't fully comprehend his words, they seemed to resonate...

No, no, no. Harems and such...

Yuigahama Yui, who had already made some compromises, didn't want to see other girls around Makoto Amano either.

"It seems you don't deny the fact that you're driven by desire."

Yukino, seizing the crucial point Makoto Amano tried to obscure, responded with coldness.

"In short, if we want to propagate our harem ideology, we need to start by dominating this school. Therefore, the strength of our allies is indispensable. Please sincerely consider how we can involve Kasumigaoka-senpai, who stands out and embodies perfection, in our cause."

Deliberately disregarding Yukino's biting remarks, Makoto Amano resumed the previous topic.

And so, the harem meeting officially commenced with only three participants.

----

"I'll give up on you this time."

Yukino believed that no matter how seriously she thought about it, the likelihood of Makoto Amano successfully "conquering" Kasumigaoka Utaha was virtually zero.

"Based on the information you provided, it's evident that her academic performance is top-notch, but Kasumigaoka-senpai's true passion doesn't seem to lie in her studies. She seems more invested in her creative pursuits. You could start by engaging with her as a light novel author and her works. Help her from that perspective, or perhaps employ your usual method of getting close to people. It might have some effect."

Although she wore an unwilling expression, she made a genuine suggestion, not a hastily concocted one.

"Hmm... Yukino's idea seems quite good..."

He nodded thoughtfully.

Starting with Kasumigaoka Utaha's identity as a light novel author... It aligned with his initial considerations.

"Do you have any different suggestions, Yui?"

Since it was a harem meeting, He couldn't overlook the other girl's input.

"Um..."

Feeling pressured in various ways, Yuigahama Yui complied with the current atmosphere in the Service Department and began contemplating earnestly.

"I think... Amano-san should start with... Kasumigaoka-senpai's personality. They say the more perfect someone seems, the more imperfect they actually are..."

Casting a furtive glance at Yukino's face, she hesitated before giving her response.

Luckily... Yukino probably didn't read too much into the meaning of my words...

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Yukino herself is also perfect in many ways. Although she can be harsh with her words, her heart is genuinely caring. Yet, even with someone like Yukino, there's always a feeling that something is missing.

This was the impression she gained after getting closer to Yukino.

And... Amano Makoto is also flawless in many aspects. As long as he doesn't speak, he's like the prince charming in the dreams of countless girls. But... every time he declares his ambition to become the harem king, it still feels off-putting.

"..."

After hearing her suggestion, Makoto Amano stood still, lost in thought.

Even Yukino, standing beside him, fell into deep contemplation.

"Why? What's wrong? Did I say something incorrect?"

Yuigahama Yui anxiously observed the expressions of Makoto Amano and Yukino.

"No, you're quite right..."

Makoto Amano was jolted back to reality by her words. The "Kasumigaoka Utaha Strategy" that he had always felt was incomplete finally found its missing piece thanks to Yuigahama's suggestion.

"I was just a bit surprised earlier. I didn't expect you to come up with such insight, Yui..."

"What do you mean? Are you treating me like a fool again?"

She furrowed her brow and pouted unhappily.

"No, I simply didn't realize you could be so perceptive..."

He didn't mean any offense. He just hadn't expected such astuteness from Yuigahama Yui.

"Doesn't that mean the same thing?"

Isn't that what you meant?

Yuigahama Yui grew even more indignant and swung her small fist at him.

But she soon realized that she was unintentionally engaging in flirtatious banter with him once again, and it was happening right in front of Yukino.

Realizing this, she quickly stopped herself and cautiously observed Yukino's expression.

However, the second Miss Yukinoshita seemed lost in thought, as if she hadn't noticed the playful exchange between Yuigahama Yui and Makoto Amano just now, resembling a couple's playful interaction.
