"Reiji-tan? I'm here!"
The duo munching away at the macarons on the dining table turned to the entrance simultaneously, with Yui sporting a confused look compared to Reiji's awkwardness.
Yui didn't know anyone else was coming today, which Reiji had deliberately concealed in order to catch her off guard.
He felt that if sh...
2025-09-06 02:10:43 +0000 UTC View PostReiji's face started twitching involuntarily, his eyelids almost spasming as he tried to understand what had just happened.
If her actions in his bedroom had fried his circuits, this kiss was the explosion that destroyed the remains.
He tried to think of something to say, something to do.
Because he knew that this h...
2025-09-04 02:31:43 +0000 UTC View PostReiji gave her a quick tour of the house, starting from the gym, which was the closest to them.
"Oho, so this is where you build up those muscles..... Go on, show me a workout," Yui clapped excitedly.
"Why on earth would I do that?" Reiji scoffed.
He also couldn't even if he wanted to; just the mere thought made him...

"Urgh..."
Reiji groaned, turning to his side to shut off his alarm as he stretched as much as he could.
It was still quite dark outside, with the first rays of dawn barely creeping into his room through the gap in his curtains.
'Fuck, it hurts!'

"....What about you? Was it fun enough for you to hesitate in that moment? Did you think this was a game? Or maybe you were confident that you wouldn't get hurt. You realize that you're lucky that you're even alive right now?" Daichi replied, his voice containing a slight r...
2025-08-31 02:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostI pretty much have already decided who ends up with Reiji by the end of the novel, but I also wanted to check if people would like fewer female leads or even more.
Note:
The result of this poll may not necessarily change the final number
I will not spoil who will end up with Reiji and who won'...
2025-08-30 17:41:37 +0000 UTC View Post"Oooh, that's gotta hurt," Reiji winced as he saw the arrow impale the right shoulder of one of the crossbowmen, who promptly dropped his weapon before collapsing onto the floor with a wail.
"AARGGHHHHH!"
The other two archers, aside from Hayashi, shifted their focus from Reiji's general hiding area to Beardy's truck, which revved wi...

Beardy's heart was thumping as he watched Reiji and the rest move towards the port's gate while he himself hid behind a tree on the way.
'Is he going to be okay?'
The worry was worsening every second, especially when he recalled the group of men wielding crossbows throug...

Reiji looked up at the arrows that had been fired into the sky, whistling away at a much faster speed than he had anticipated.
When they reached their peak, they plummeted straight down, gravity doing its duty as usual.
*TCHAAK*
The three arrows embedded t...
2025-08-26 01:57:51 +0000 UTC View Post"There aren't as many people as I thought there would be," Reiji muttered, studying the camera feeds to see if he missed anyone.
There were only between 25-30 people, including the ones offloading the crates from the ship, which was quite low all things considered.
"It's probably because Hayashi hasn't been in the ...
2025-08-25 01:24:41 +0000 UTC View Post"Now? No, if you go tomorrow, then the danger will be far less. I can summon a lot more men, and there won't be as many crossbows around Hayashi since he'll probably be transporting most of them."
Daichi stood up, denying the alternate proposition. Reiji rolled his eyes and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Then will you...
2025-08-24 01:52:51 +0000 UTC View PostReiji tightened his grip on the fork, a bad premonition casting over him. The person who had entered was his father's right-hand man, basically the second-in-command, who had the most power after Daichi.
Even his stepmother had to defer to his decisions, which is why she had to be more cautious with her schemes.

Reiji didn't respond, simply pulling back the chair before him and sitting down after unbuttoning his suit jacket.
Daichi's hands were clasped together on the dining table, his eyes narrowed as he studied his son, who was pouring himself a glass of water from the jug.
"At least you had the common sens...

Haruna waved happily despite the tired look on her face, poking her head through the car's window. Reiji watched as the taxi drove off, his smile vanishing the instant it turned the corner.
He looked over at the black SUV parked on the opposite side of the street when its h...

Anyway, I was looking over my document where I plan out the novel, and saw some scrapped ideas that I never went with and was wondering if you guys were interested in an ...
2025-08-18 19:01:12 +0000 UTC View Post"...Are you okay now?"
Haruna chugged the cold coffee until the glass was completely empty, releasing a sigh of satisfaction as she licked the last remnants of the drink off her lips.
"Wow, this was really good!"
Reiji's mouth twitched as he stared at his empty glass.
"Seriously? I doubt it was that hot!"<...

Haruna fidgeted nervously as the elevator took them to the 30th floor, stealing glances at Reiji, who was leaning against the wall.

Her mind started racing, considering various possibilities that this situation could bri...

"Faster!"
"Put your back into it!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Stop panting like a dog!"
"Move your body!"
"Haha, I didn't even feel that!"
Reiji gasped for breath as he ducked under a lightning fast kick, his hair ruffling with the wind caused by the rapid movement. He leaned back to avoid the follow-u...

She would always try to stay out of the way during their study sessions to not distract them, resting in a different room whenever Reiji was ...
2025-08-11 02:28:44 +0000 UTC View PostSo far each arc hasn't been longer than 5 or so chapters, aside from the cooking test. Would you like it to continue like this, or sprinkle in longer arcs that last for at least 10 chapters?

The newbies exchanged confused glances while Airi and Greeny were just randomly giggling together.
Reiji shook his head with exasperation and took a sip from his cup.
"Ignore those buffoons, it doesn't mean anything," he sighed.
"Gasp! How could you Reiji-kun!" Airi recoiled with mock surpr...

Reiji sighed as he watched Haruna bound over to Airi.
Though the earnest request played a small role, he had decided to put aside an hour or so for this 'party' for two main reasons.
The desperation may have played a role, or maybe she was just that smart, but Haruna had made much more progress than h...

Noa narrowed her eyes and repeated her probing when she saw that Reiji had his mouth clamped shut.
He looked up at her, wondering what he should say.
"Prez, I'm assuming you know what my background is like?" he finally spoke, his tone deep and contemplative.

Reiji stretched as much as he could while on the way to school, his dulled mind protesting the lack of rest the past few days.
Haruna had made a lot of progress in just the two days that he had been teaching her, and he had a good feeling about her chances of getting into the Top 5, let alone the Top 1...
