SFS Chapter 79 What do you say you have?
Chapter 79 What do you say you have?
The Shuchiin Classical Literature Club is unusually quiet today. Is it because none of the boys are here?
Everyone else was doing their own thing, but Hayasaka Ai was bored. She'd come in specifically to see Uchiha Ryo, but that guy had run away! And even ran off to Toyonosaki...
On the other hand, Miyuki Shirogane is constantly promoting and improving himself. Without Kaguya Shinomiya as his biggest rival for the position of student council president, his chances of winning are still very high.
Furthermore, to Shirogane Miyuki's surprise, he was actually invited to meet with the legendary young lady of Shuchiin Academy, Shinomiya-kun, today.
Pushing open the classroom door, besides Kaguya Shinomiya, there were two other girls inside: Chika Fujiwara and Momoko Ryuuju.
"Shirogane Miyuki, right? Although we've met in the student council office, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shinomiya Kaguya. Nice to meet you."
Although Shirogane Miyuki didn't know what this young lady wanted from him, he still spoke with a serious expression.
"What does Shinomiya-kun want with me?"
Kaguya Shinomiya chuckled. "Miyuki Shirogane..."
"I heard you and Uchiha are quite close. I was wondering why that guy suddenly became a transfer student in Toyonosaki. Oh, it's because of you..."
Shirogane Miyuki: "???"
Kaguya Shinomiya waved her hand. "You don't need to be afraid. I have no ill intentions in coming to you. Besides, I really have no interest in the student council president. I can even help you out, but... after it's done, I want the vice president, and this Fujiwara-san, just give her the position of secretary."
Dragon Ball Peach coughed lightly.
"The student council president has the right to rewrite the school's rules. That five-person rule for starting a club is hereby abolished. I want to establish an astronomy club on the rooftop, with only me as the sole member. That's why I support you becoming president..."
Shirogane Miyuki looked at the three people in front of him. Although they were all beautiful, why did they inspire a little fear? Girls from powerful clans are so scary... Uchiha! So you've been dealing with such terrifying people all this time? You must be exhausted...
.....
"My name is Uchiha Ryo, and I hope to get along well with everyone over the next month."
After writing "Uchiha Ryo" on the blackboard, all the students in Class 1-A of Toyonosaki turned their attention to the exchange student from Shuchiin who was standing on the podium.
Beneath her thick, black hair was a delicate face, and her bright, intelligent eyes were captivating.
When silent, he exudes a slightly indifferent and cold aura, but when he smiles, he is in no way inferior to the other school heartthrob in the class named Natsume.
What's even more astonishing is that this transfer student had just dominated the exams in Toyonosaki, securing first place in the grade.
Is this the big boss of Shuchiin?
The homeroom teacher nodded and pointed to the empty seat behind Natsume. "Uchiha-kun, that's the only empty seat we have for now. I'm sorry. If you'd like to change seats, we can consider rearranging them."
Is this the true value of being number one in academic performance? After all, the empty seat is in the last row, which does create a sense of distance between the student and the teacher, making it difficult for those who want to learn to feel comfortable.
However, Uchiha Ryo's studies don't rely on teachers, so the last row is fine. And sitting behind Natsume, is there a better spot?
Uchiha Ryo walked over with a handbag, first giving Natsume a brief greeting, and then began to observe the people sitting nearby.
Sitting to Uchiha Ryo's left was that familiar coolness! It was the harbor that one was most reluctant to leave in the sweltering summer! It was the resolute arm that one couldn't help but lean on every day, that's right! It was the wall.
And on the right? It's a girl with the same hair color as Fujiwara Chika, and why is she wearing a weird pink tracksuit?
Never mind for now, after all, besides Natsume, there are two other girls in this class with whom I can win their favor.
Eriri and Kato Megumi both seemed to be looking this way. Oh, and there was also Aki Tomoya, who looked like a lovesick fool; he had also noticed Uchiha Ryo's arrival.
As expected, after the first class ended, Uchiha Rin was immediately surrounded by people.
Some were asking themselves how they studied, while others were wondering why they came to Toyosaki as exchange students. Some girls even recognized that Uchiha Ryo seemed to have been to the school once before.
"Do Uchiha-kun and Natsume-kun know each other?"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "We are sworn brothers."
"Wow! Both brothers are handsome! Does Uchiha have a girlfriend?"
"Uchiha-kun! Be the male protagonist of my game!"
Both boys and girls in the class were curious about this outstanding exchange student. However, in Uchiha Ryo's observation, only four students didn't come over to watch him.
Natsume, smiling and quietly reading his book, stands ahead.
Kato Megumi watched from afar, but took no action.
Eriri glances over every now and then, wanting to come over but too embarrassed to.
And... because of the large crowd, the pink-haired classmate hid under the table.
Uchiha Ryo: "Um, everyone, please disperse. This is bothering other people."
However, until the second class started, the popularity of exchange student Uchiha Ryo did not decrease but increased.
Even the upperclassmen learned about this exchange student from Shuchiin, such as... a certain Kasumigaoka upperclassman in the second year.
"He actually came? Hmph, then this is my home turf. I'll make sure you're taken down easily."
It wasn't until noon that Uchiha Ryo, led by Natsume, managed to escape the large group of curious children.
After all, Shuchiin Academy was a legendary academy for them, where commoners were said to be isolated. Yet Uchiha Ryo was able to crush those second-generation students and become the top student in his grade. This was a symbol of strength.
In an empty classroom, Uchiha Ryo casually sat down and looked at the excited Aki Tomoya.
Aki Tomoya: "This is fantastic! With a perfect schoolboy protagonist template like Uchiha-kun, my game development is guaranteed to be a huge success! Now... all we need is someone to write the story!"
Uchiha Ryo ignored the agitated Aki Tomoya and turned to look at Kato Megumi and Eriri.
"Kato-san, Sawamura-san, do you know the girl sitting to my right?"
Eriri remained silent, staring at Uchiha Ryo's face. She wondered why she kept replaying that nightmare in her mind, but why she dreamt of him.
Kato Megumi frowned and said.
"I know, but I'm not really familiar with him. After all, Goto-kun's visibility in the class is about the same as mine..."
Just then, the classroom door was opened. Kasumigaoka Utaha walked in, panting.
"I've finally found you!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Did Kasumigaoka-senpai need something?"
Eriri noticed the key phrase. "Oh? Kasumigaoka-senpai? Isn't he your boyfriend? Heh, so you were lying all along~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at Eriri, then looked at Uchiha Ryo.
"You...you came to Toyonosaki without telling me beforehand?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "I just wanted to tell you in person that I'm here. (Translation: I forgot.)"
Eriri: "..." What's going on with these two?!
Aki Tomoya quietly stepped forward, "Um... this is my game development club..."
Uchiha Rin turned his head, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Aki-kun, right? You want to invite me to be the male protagonist model for your game development?"
Aki Tomoya nodded. "Yes, and we'll use Kato-san as the model for the heroine, with Eriri as the illustrator! Her drawing skills are absolutely top-notch."
Uchiha Ryo said calmly.
"Oh, then why should I agree to your request? Just because of your enthusiasm?"
Aki Tomoya: "I..."
Uchiha Ryo: "Furthermore, creating a game requires start-up capital and a complete team, right? Tell me, what do you have?!"
"Your passion? A template for a male and female protagonist? A decent illustrator? Or are you confident that we won't lose out by following you? Whose company's heir are you?!"
Aki Tomoya raised his head and then revealed an incredibly (what he thought was) sincere look in his eyes.
"I'm confident! Eriri is actually a well-known illustrator online. As long as we find an excellent story writer, we're sure to make the game a huge success!"
Uchiha Ryo smiled.
"Your so-called game first relies on Sawamura's artwork, then you need to find a writer for the story, and then use the male and female protagonists as templates... So what is the point of your existence?"
Aki Tomoya opened his mouth, "I...I'm a game producer and director...."
"What a producer and director! Putting aside your role, why should we help you? And why should a well-known online illustrator like Sawamura help you? Hiring an illustrator like that to make a game must cost a fortune!"
Aki Tomoya lowered his head. "Um, well... I plan to rely on revenue sharing after the game's release..."
"Fine, fine, you're not even going to mention the production staff's pay! But what about the other needs of the game development team? Even if Eriri is your friend, and Kato is also your classmate and friend, are you planning to hire a scriptwriter without paying? Or produce music without paying? And have the game company publish it for you for free!"
Uchiha Ryo wasn't very familiar with the subsequent plot of the storyline involving the passersby, but how could he possibly succeed in making a game based solely on momentum? Could he possibly rely on luck?!
Aki Tomoya gritted his teeth. As a child from an ordinary family, he certainly couldn't earn the start-up capital for game development by working odd jobs. But it was his dream!
"Eri's status as an illustrator is enough to attract investment, so consider this a loan! I can write an IOU, after the game is released..."
Uchiha Ryo: "It's Sawamura-kun again... What, you can't do anything without Sawamura-kun? Then why don't I pay Sawamura-kun to make a game for me? Besides, I know some really good story writers."
Uchiha Ryo glanced discreetly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was watching the show from the doorway.
Eriri, who had been listening to the whole process without saying a word, stood up.
Aki Tomoya: "Um... Eriri!"
"Sorry, I have to go back now."
Eriri's mind was a bit of a mess. She needed to figure out why she had agreed to play games with Aki Tomoya in the first place, and... why she was helping him now.
Kato Megumi and Natsume dared not speak, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, standing at the door, watched the scene with great interest.
How interesting! What kind of fun is this? As a novelist, I have to write this down.
