Next day.
Kuoh Academy.
"Ishigami Yu is my name. A first-year Shuchiin Academy student. I'll be in your hands in two weeks."
Ishigami Yu presents himself to a class full of girls in the middle of the room.
For now, the girls seem interested in him, staring at him like he's an animal at a zoo.
Their face shifted to one of admiration in a split second.
He's not sure why, but when they gaze at him, he can picture their pupils changing into hearts.
His harem protagonist title appears to be more perilous in this type of environment.
He predicts that if he confesses to one of the females in this class, not only will they accept him, but they will also give up their virginity if he can persuade her.
'Am I safe? Nah! Ishigami Yu, put a stop to it. You are being narcissistic.'
He sarcastically thought to himself.
The teacher sent him to the final row, near the window.
'Seriously? Why am I always in the protagonist seat? Do the heavens say I'm a protagonist or what? I know I have a harem protagonist title, but that's just a title, not a role. Anyway, why am I thinking such nonsense? '
He shook his head, then noticed the girls in front of and beside him staring at him.
When they stare at him, their eyes twinkle like stars.
Fortunately, the class he was assigned to is full of lovely young ladies.
Now that he thinks about it, he has never seen an ugly person in this world, therefore he believes it has something to do with the world he now lives in.
Because it's an anime universe, absolutely no standard logic can be used.
And the class began.
…
Lunchbreak.
Despite appearing fatigued, he was able to flee the swarm of girls who wanted to get to know him better.
He expected to be secluded, but it appears that being charming is like candy, and girls are ants.
In any case, he was able to find a secluded spot outside the building.
However, some girls continue to walk here, so it's not completely secluded.
He opens his lunchbox, claps, says that famous sentence before eating, and begins eating.
"Can I sit with you?" "
Someone asked him before he could taste his food.
He was startled to learn who that individual was when he looked around.
"Himejima Akeno."
She simply smiled and sat next to him after hearing his remark.
He watched her do this with a shocked expression on his face.
Himejima Akeno eats with his chopsticks.
This shook him up from his trance.
He has so much to say right now, about the mana stone, the kiss, the cause for all of this, and so many other things that have remained unanswered until now that are related to the four of them.
But he couldn't let go, so he sighs in bewilderment.
He thought he could ask her in any situation, but the look of other girls, full of happiness, admiration, bitterness, and envy for and against him, makes him want to leave right now.
Himejima Akeno grins as she stands up and takes his hands, sensing his distress.
The girls who witnessed this were taken aback.
"Where are you taking me?" "
Ishigami Yu inquired.
"I don't want to be seen eating, so we're going to go to a more secluded place."
Himejima Akeno spoke out.
He didn't ask any questions as he let her take him to her place.
He is astonished to find where he has been taken the instant he arrives.
The Occult Club.
This is an important location because it houses the headquarters of the anime's main heroine.
As they enter the building, he is taken aback.
