Love Fest!

Programming (Master) Skill, was not a new acquisition in the list of his skills but he neglected it since he didn't have time to use it but over the last week, he started making something out of it. As he had written a few volumes of the light novel already, while he kept on finishing every daily quest possible since it didn't take much effort. The live streaming and other stuff were the same, and even programming wasn't a hassle given the ideas he had in his mind were already so much, to begin with.

'Look at my skill list, it's already this long..' Hiroto proudly smiled. He was also thinking of whether to use his System Points for the items, weapons since he hasn't used it for a long time.

'It's waiting there nicely, I guess.' Hiroto nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the count of SP had. Everyone liked high numbers, especially those that had a system, but he waited he didn't get hasty since he might just get some useless skill again.

After his date with Maki, Hiroto made use of the programming skill from the accidental rewards and upgraded it from the lower-tier version of itself. He bought a laptop so he could make programs anywhere, but with its freedom had limited and limited his ability to draw. He can only make heavy sided codes and easily ill.u.s.trated casual games since they only needed a small color palette before he uploaded it in a certain game store. The design used his Fine Arts Skill, while he didn't focus on it but he still made some effort to make everything.

Currently, Hiroto was with Maki as they sat on one of the school premises chairs. People rarely use this area since they always head to the cafeteria to eat. Rin wanted to have lunch in the cafeteria so

Hanayo joined her since she had some inkling about what was going on between the two of them. Right now, they didn't have anyone joining during lunch, so the couple had some alone time.

"You know how to program?" Maki looked at Hiroto who was typing so fast that she could barely see his fingers. It felt like his hands were dancing as the keypad of the laptop.

"Yeah, I know a thing or two.." Hiroto didn't know how to make excuses about his abilities, Maki had already gotten used to his quirks of doing something unpredictable. Being someone with so much talent is such a puzzling thing for her.

Maki felt asking him why he even decided to pursue her if he was this talented would he go pursue more talented girls. Albeit she didn't since she knew that his words will probably make her fl.u.s.tered again. She harrumphed while looking at the side before commenting.

"It's like you're delving on many things, but you should take some moderation even though you are talented which I don't want to admit, health is the most important thing after all." Maki proudly said she was the daughter of a doctor after all. It was her motive to ensure that her boyfriend did not get sick.

Hiroto looked at Maki with a gentle smile. "Come give me a hug." Maki blushed but she didn't do it but instead gave him refreshments she got in the nearby vending machine.

"My girlfriend is really lovely, why don't you try playing my games, let me see your thoughts on it.' Hiroto put his laptop on her lovable t.h.i.g.hs. Maki looked at the screen and decided to play the games he made.

Her carmine hair dropped as she focused on the game. Hiroto who was beside her gently smiled before rubbing her hair and started grooming it with getting a comb from her bag as he looked at her progress. Meanwhile, Maki blushed a bit but she didn't stop him since it felt good and refreshing.

Afterward, Maki played a few games he made in a week. It was an eye-opener situation since she knew how much effort and time programmers focused on one game. But this guy made it like hot pockets.

"I lost.." Maki cutely made a despondent face as she saw her character without making progress, Hiroto laughed at her.

Hiroto quickly swapped the game from the editor before making her play another one. The games were still in development and she played using his laptop. "I just made a few other games to try them first.

The popular casual games he got from his past life. It was an addicting game but at the same time, it wasn't. It's meant to be played casually and means that if a person had the time to play for it.

"Hmmm.. my reviews cost p-pampering.." Maki didn't want to admit that his cuddling was comfortable, her pride and her personality wasn't open enough that she will ask him personally. But she made a remark which she realized was too much.

"Forget about what I just said.." Maki saw his laughing look before she pouted.

"Hai hai Reviewer-san." Hiroto saw her play the games he opened. While she will comment on something she didn't like. Overall, her dislike comes from not being able to enjoy the games because she s.u.c.k.e.d at it.

"So you s.u.c.k.e.d at games.." Hiroto nodded with understanding, she blushed and leered at him.

"Is that bad?!, hmpf besides I don't need to be good at games. It isn't worth it." Maki looked at the side before crossing her arms.

"Yeah, I don't play games much these days. When I was younger I had been playing so much that maybe I got bored of it " Hiroto made a joke which got her attention.

"What with that, that's too dumb." She made a smiling expression, before looking at the screen again.

"..."

"Don't you get tired of doing so many things.." Maki felt his hands sliding through her hair while sometimes he used the comb which made her head tingle. Her light skin tone and her unveiled neck were so tempting for other people but Hiroto just smiled at her while he enjoyed her company.

"I don't besides and I want to make bigger ones, should I make one, what do you think?" Hiroto inquired about her opinion. Making games needed essential planning if he wanted to start a big project himself. He already made games for mobile phones so he can start a brand himself but he wanted to enter the computer games industry. Since it was a lucrative business, earning without doing anything major is the type of business he wanted to get into even though he was already in one.

"Just do what you ought to want, I will support you." Maki used her other hand to twirl her hair.

"Aiya, you saying that is making me want to hug you." Hiroto approached while continuing to rub her hair, it was his type of showing his intimacy. Maki turned redder but she looked at him before hooking her hands with his.

While he will do it alone since he can essentially do so with the Master skill but it will still take some time to finish. There were tons of ideas from his past world which he already searched on the internet where he didn't see copies or similar genres for it. (AN: Give me ideas for games.)

'But to start it off, I need a dedicated server and other materials. Looks like I need to apply for a game company, or should I make one myself?' Hiroto scratched his head thinking of what he should do. Making a game company is difficult but for its undeniable freedom, it will be worth it, while if he applied for one, he will be able to use the resources easily. No hassle or not, but the main point was he didn't want to dedicate everything for this. As some of the games, he had picked has a multiplayer feature, But he was already thinking if he should not make games with that function.

'There were tons of popular offline games for PC after all, for example, Plants vs Zombies, Angry Birds and other hit games that made a hit and succeeded.' The game industry in the current world was not good, while its music and videography industry were leading in success since the focus of the country right now were idols, music, and movies. Minor industries of technology, for example, stage lightings and visual presentation were top notch. Everyone can see visual implementations everywhere nearing holograms functionality and sorts. The backward of the gaming industry turned it into a black section where if something made a breakthrough, it would open lit at that moment and shine brightly. (AN: Delving in the VR industry?)

While he had made money from his light novel 'Haruhi Suzumiya's' and with its release of volume two, last week made him a millionaire already.

Selling a copy which cost 540 yen, if calculating that 1 million people already bought the volume 1, he should have made so many royalties from it. While volume 2 just happened to be released and yet again was making money for him. The company was courteous this time around and increased his royalties by 19% already. If this goes one, he will be making so much after the final volume was released. The media wanted him for interviews, as a successful and talented writer that made his first debut but he didn't accept interviews since he didn't intend to elaborate his connection with it and only used the alias or his pen name. The other felt curious while the fans wanted to meet the author and asked him for what's to come. He made the company handle everything for him which was quite convenient since he didn't want the fans to suddenly make trouble in his personal life.

As for his live streaming fans, the watchers were all over the whole country. With his popularity right now, meeting one shouldn't be impossible on a day to day basis. While he had experience meeting fans before, they didn't trouble him that much and just asked for pictures and stuff.

Hiroto didn't forget that he still had to make an official version of the music for their performance with Maki as their display during the 'friendly' competition in the Tokyo Station Hotel. The two songs were original songs from the perspective of other people. Hiroto made plans for this since he had tackled this kind of thing in the past after all. It was their first public duo performance while he thought that he should make some memento out of it, in the future making songs will be possible. Recording in his mother's own music company, since he had made songs in the company already. Even though it was just their hobbies but complementing their abilities, Maki and him could make money indefinitely, if every song they released turned popular.

He decided not to use his gacha points for now. Using or not doesn't matter for now since he had a direction of what he wanted to do in the present. After he's done with his current dedications, he will roll and see what kind of skills and venture what he finds interesting.

One morning, Hiroto was on the way to Kanda Shrine where the group practiced every morning. On the way, he saw a black-haired girl with twin tails wearing a brown long coat while concealing most of her body while her face had a mask and glasses behind one tall bush. She was looking at Kotori who was stretching her arms until Honoka arrived at the stairs to meet Kotori as she waved her hand pointing her arrival.

Hiroto tiptoed as he walked behind the twin-tailed haired girl without making her notice him. She was spying suspiciously, after all, she might be their fans or was just a perverted stalker but who knows. After looking at her closely he instantly identified her.

He raised his brows. 'I have seen this angrily looking girl a few times already. What does she want from them?' Hiroto thought that the girl was angry at something to him since she will always make a disgusted expression when looking at him as he bought food to cook. With that duration, he will always have thought of pinching her b.u.t.t to stop using that gaze to him.

"Heeeeyyyy, where are you looking at?" Hiroto whispered to her ears.

"Uwaaaa!" The twin-tailed haired girl was startled and immediately backed away while putting up a fighting stance, she removed her face mask before looking at him with an angry expression.

Honoka heard the girl's commotion as she asked Kotori. "What was that?" She looked downstairs as she heard the scream just now.

"I wonder," Kotori answered with a confused expression.

"Let's continue practicing then! The other will be coming pretty soon too." Honoka energetically said, while raising her hands.

"A!" The twin-tailed girl was flabbergasted seeing him beside her she also knew him since his name is widely known at school and outside the school. 'This guy is better than me at stalking!!' She was amazed but she instantly shook her head to remove the thought.' Before looking at him disdainfully.

"Eh? What?" Hiroto asked while tilting his head.

"....You better break up!" The girl fled from his sight after saying some confusing words.

Hiroto didn't chase her 'Break up? Break up what?' Hiroto was puzzled over what she said. He didn't even know her, why will she bother with Maki and his relationship but it could have been the group creation, someone or few might have some intentions? unwelcoming ideas for their group? He put it aside as he headed upstairs.

'Having haters this early for the group is awesome but at the same time not good as well. huh.' Hiroto removed the thought before making his way close to Honoka and Kotori who were warming up.

Honoka instantly heard some footsteps before seeing him approach. "Hiroto-chan!" Honoka waved her hand.

Kotori also waived when she saw him.

"Yo.." Hiroto smiled as he initiated a high five. Honoka did so with a smile.

"Hiroto-kun, did you hear a scream just now?" Kotori asked curiously.

"Ahh, I didn't hear anything, it must be wind." Hiroto didn't implicate the twin-tailed haired girl. She might be a person who doesn't like their group. Maybe he will tell later or in the future until they meet again.

"If you didn't hear it then isn't that a ghost or a specter?" Honoka put a frightened expression.

'But, why would she hate?' Hiroto wondered what's with that girl, he had seen this girl a few times already, her twin-tails was so iconic that he will not be able to mistake this girl with the same clerk at the marketplace where he buys ingredients and stuff.

"Don't be ridiculous, Honoka-chan you're scaring me." Kotori found herself approaching Hiroto's location which made her blush.

"Well! Let's wait for the others!" Honoka said while cheerfully stretching her legs.

It's been two months since the start of classes. The first term exams were nearing, while the others haven't started studying for materials. Hiroto can be seen jutting down while writing many things to note. Due to the practice of the girls, they weren't able to study for a moment. If this continues, it will affect their studies while they might get expelled if they don't do well. He was just taking measures so that they don't do badly in the coming exams. Making them pass if they can't do better than passing with average grades is enough. But he knows that they can do it and besides he still had that memorization of capsules he got as the reward from the competition but it's just for the measures.

Kirisu collected her book after she finished with her lessons for today.

"Hiroto-kun, come to my office later.," Kirisu said with her usual poker face before going out of the room.

"Yes, sensei." Hiroto nodded before he got back to his writing.

Yasuo and Takeshi approached him while feeling puzzled. In the past months, Hiroto had been called a few times during break time.

"Why do you constantly have to visit her office? Are you acquainted with her?" Yasuo turned to look at Takeshi who had the same question as well.

"She didn't look angry during this time, so it might be something she wanted for him to do," Takeshi said as he analyzed the situation, he had seen them amiable and while she called Hiroto during lessons. They had some kind of communication every time he got something right, she would just nod while not making explanations for it. For others, their actions were kinda funny but interesting as well. Since not everyone can catch up readily to her lessons before being called instantly while the class just started to make some recalls of what happened yesterday.
