To be honest, it was extremely difficult to let go after experiencing the warm sensation. That was what Kouta thought when he went back to his home. He pretty much preferred that he went to Satomi's apartment.

But Kouta knew that it was much better for their relationship to not meet each other every day. Especially, when their relationship was a bit risky. That's why Kouta went back to his home with heavy steps.

Immediately after that, Kouta read all the books he bought. Thanks to Takao's teaching, it was much easier for Kouta to understand the book. With the help of his cheating skill, he could remember her teaching, apply it, and combine it with the knowledge from the book.

Slowly, Kouta had more understanding, and his work in making Floop Bird became faster. He also used all of the script he had to make create a scene for Fate/Stay Night on ranpy, a program to make dating sims. But because of that, he worked less on making draft manga.

"Well, it's fine since we still have a surplus page, right?" Kouta said as he went to his bed. After sleeping with the girl by his side for several nights, It made Kouta feel lonely to sleep alone.

"Aaa…" With many things Kouta did, even though he felt a bit lonely, he quickly slept as soon as he lay down into the bed. Showing how tired he was.

"Huaaahhh…!" Kouta was in the middle of a yawn. When he arrived at the school. It was a normal everyday morning. Kouta rubbed his tired eyes after he spent his routine morning. The sunshine was bright, and the sky was blue. As it was in early May, the temperature was pleasantly starting to rise. It is pleasant outside these days, with a cool breeze blowing. It was the ideal day for him to go about his usual morning routine.

"Hm…" Kouta had spotted the adult figure he was familiar with. He lightly waved to those persons. "Good Morning, Tachibana-sensei." He greeted her.

"Ah… Good morning." Satomi blushed slightly as she returned his greeting.

Kouta didn't want to make something suspicious about their relationship by making them look close, but at the same time, he wanted to tease her. "Ah…" Until he found something interesting, at least for him.

Kouta took out the book from his bag, tore the paper, and wrote something on it. Before he grasped her, cold hand while giving her the paper.

"Good luck with your job, Tachibana-sensei." Kouta said goodbye and waved his hand with a big smile on his face.

Satomi, who was still confused with Kouta's behavior, only waved his back and realized why he had that kind face after she read the message on the paper. Satomi wanted to scream at him, but there was nothing she could do except fly out from there with a bright red face.

It wasn't long before Kouta arrived in the classroom. It was just about time for homeroom to start, and the disorderly atmosphere before homeroom was the same in any classroom. There were those who were talking to friends, those doing homework, those reading… The students all spent their morning in various ways.

Kouta took his seat, picked up a pencil, and started working on another draft manga. As someone who is an introvert and doesn't have any friends, Kouta didn't really care if his classmate knew what he had been doing. He wasn't like Eriri, who kept her hobby a secret.

Eventually, there were several teachers who knew what he had been doing. But it was futile since, even though they were a bit angry, they told him to answer the question. Kouta could answer their question with ease… that they're finally giving up.

Kouta felt his proficiency with his cheating skill was also improving. Even though, he didn't focus at all as long as he saw the material. He could see it again and understand it from his experience.

"Hm…" Until Kouta got a message from Satomi. "Ah… it's coming. Huh… Oh… She's really following my order."

Satomi followed Kouta's order, he wrote on the paper. He told her to take a picture of herself in her underwear.

Kouta could see Satomi took the selfie photo while she was still wearing her black blouse, but her bottom was exposed, showing her purple panties. She also blocked her face with her hand.

[ Oh, nice picture. Btw, when it's good for me to come? Tomorrow or Saturday? ]

[ Gezz, please don't ask me to do that again. Just came tomorrow. I will go drinking with my friend on Saturday. ]

[ Okay, then. ]

Kouta saved the picture he got, before he left the classroom. He also messaged Eriri once again…

[ Don't forget to try to get close to Tomoya, okay?

[ Just die! ]

Well, it looked like she may still be angry at him. Kouta didn't try to push anything again, since it would likely be a futile attempt. Kouta walked toward the clubroom. When he was opening the door and entering the clubroom. As expected, Takao greeted him with a warm smile, while Inada already had a tired expression.

"Errr… what happened?"

"Ah… She is just working really hard."

"Yeah, I think we can already try the game. Maybe we need to search for bugs." Inada immediately responded from her desk.

"Really, so we can try it."

"Yes."

After all those conversations, they immediately tried to play the game. Floopy bird was a simple game in which the player only tapped the screen and made sure to never touch the green pile.

It was a simple game, but sometimes it can get someone frustrated. And game that makes people frustrated makes Kouta remember a game called 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy'

"Well, I think it's good enough. Maybe we need to just polish it, especially the graphics and stuff." Kouta commented, observing the game he played.

"....guuu… I wonder if you deliberately made this bird with such a punchable face." Inada said. She was still upset that she died stupidly in the game.

"Eh… What are you talking about? "Isn't this bird cute?" Takao argued with Inada over whether the bird was cute or not in front of Kouta.

Kouta himself started to think about what game might be good to make after this. Since they have finally made mobile games, maybe they will make a different type of game. However, at this point in the year, Kouta recalls how popular the Ship Girl Kancolle game would be andjust one more year before its release.

He from the previous world never really played Kancolle, but he knew them from doujinshi and stuff. Kancolle also adapted to anime. It was kinda something he didn't want to let go.

As far as Kouta knew, Kancolle was a free to play game with the central theme of the game was the representation of World War II warships personified as teenage girls and young adult women with personality characteristics reflecting the history of each ship. Originally, all of these were Japanese, but ships from other nations have also been added as the game has developed. Gameplay involves all aspects of naval warfare, including not only combat but also maintenance, repair, upgrading, resupply, morale, logistics, and mission planning.

"So, what do you think, Suzuki!?" Takao asked him a question, which woke Kouta up from his deep thinking.

"Yeah, you are the one who made this design for this bird, right?"

"Well, to be honest…" Kouta stopped for a moment, thinking how he felt, especially 'he' from the previous world. "I think it was cute, but it's true that this bird's appearance is kind of punchable." He added.

Even though it was kind of a vague answer, that was his true feeling.

""Eh…"" But it looked like Takao and Inada weren't satisfied with his answer.

"Well, I think the best thing is to optimize this game, so we can release it next week." Kouta softly told his plan. Even though, it may take time for Floopy bird to become hit. But when it became a hit, the game could be earning $50,000 a day from in-app advertisement as well as sales.

"Un, that's a good plan. Anyway, since we may have already successfully made this game. How about we celebrate it? I can't help but to thank all of you for helping me make this." Kouta thanked and praised the GCC for their effort.

"It's fine. It's quite short, but an enjoyable experience." Takao replied with a smile, just like always she did.

At that moment, Inada's eyes were sparkling so radiantly and with such bizarre and comical fast movement. She immediately came in front of Kouta with her spare girl's uniform.

"Look, how about you try my old uniform?" Inada said while bringing her uniform in front of Kouta.

"Wait… Inada, that's quite unreasonable, don't you think?" Takao responded to those silly requests.

"But… I have been working so hard…" Inada said as she didn't give up.

"Well, I don't really mind." Kouta, who just experienced this conversation yesterday, replied positively, which maybe those two didn't expect that.

"Ehh…" Takao was surprised.

While Inada had sparkling eyes beaming at him. It was a look of awe and admiration, eyes of respect. "Really!?" She sounded really happy.

"Yeah, but I have my own request too…" Kouta, of course, he didn't want to do any free service. They needed to pay him too. "I will wear that uniform, but I want Inada-san and Prez to wear something I like too." Kouta told his request.

"That sounds fair, right?" He added.
