“I think it’s great,” Gao Songdeng suddenly said.
“Since Stealing Zero thinks it’s okay, then I… have no problem with it either,” Li hope immediately changed her mind.
"Whatever, but don't expect me to improve anything," Su Shi said calmly.
"Yay!" Ai Yin shouted.
Then, she turned to Xiangzi, extended her hand, and said, "From now on, we'll be rivals, 'love rivals.'"
I will absolutely not lose to you, in any aspect.
※Volume 11, "KIRA·KIRA" Completed
Volume Twelve: After my foster mother Xiangzi died, I inherited her harem.
Chapter One gave you a chance, but you didn't use it!
With a clattering sound, Banami hurriedly ran up to the apartment building where he used to live. This was not the apartment where he and Suze lived, but the place where he was taken in by Yutenji Wakami when he ran away from home.
Now, it's the place where Miaomengqin and Lixi's older sister, Zhenxi, share an apartment.
As for why Banami rushed over here now, it all started half an hour ago when he received a screaming phone call from Meowme at the Toyokawa house.
"Hanami, come quick, save me!"
Then he hung up the phone. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still rushed over immediately.
After all, he couldn't accept it if either of them got into trouble.
He quickly arrived at the apartment door and rang the doorbell. The worst-case scenario was that someone would break in and rob him.
He instinctively gripped the knife in his pocket, but to his relief, the door opened shortly afterward, revealing Miao Mengqin's slightly pale face.
Upon seeing Hanami, she immediately hugged her and exclaimed, "Hanami, you're finally here!"
"What happened? Is something wrong with Maki-nee?" Hanami asked hurriedly.
Just as Miao Mengqin hugged him, he saw a tall girl with short hair appear in front of him. Apart from looking a little tense, she seemed unharmed.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," she said softly.
Although they hadn't encountered any terrible accidents, the two didn't seem to be unharmed. Banami asked, "What exactly happened?"
"There's...there's something dirty in the living room." Miao Mengqin's voice trembled slightly.
"Huh?!" Banai looked at the sky outside the door.
Today is sunny and the air is pleasant, perfect for kissing. What could possibly be dirty in broad daylight?
He couldn't help but laugh at the usually arrogant Miaomengqin, saying, "If it's a giant-breasted Sadako who can crawl out of the TV, then leave it to me."
As a result, Miao Mengqin playfully slapped his shoulder hard, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
But Maki gently shook her head and said, "It's not that kind of dirty stuff."
Banami was slightly puzzled, but seeing how frightened the two of them were, she thought, "Isn't this the time for me to show my masculinity?"
To be honest, he was a bit fed up with the premise that everyone in this broken Boomsday world was a girl with superhuman strength. Even though his physical abilities weren't weak, why did he always end up being the one on top?
It's as if a clumsy author, wanting to advance the plot, insists on having the protagonist drugged and seduced by a beautiful girl.
Banami stepped into the apartment with light steps and said, "Hey, so you two girls sharing an apartment can't even handle something this simple..."
As he said this, Banami's male chauvinism swelled to an unprecedented level. When he walked into the living room and saw the dirty thing that Meowme had kissed, he was stunned for a moment, and then screamed.
"Holy crap, it's a centipede!"
Then, he turned around and hugged the cat next to him.
Although he wasn't exactly weak in the knees, he timidly took a few steps back.
Looking at the creature with countless wriggling legs on the ground, Banami's hair began to tingle.
"How about I call Xiao Xiang over to handle this for you? She's bold, she's definitely not afraid."
In other words, he was also afraid.
Miao Meng and Zhenxi were dumbfounded and said, "You're a grown man, and you're afraid of centipedes?"
"Then what's the point of us calling you here!"
"Boys can't be afraid of bugs? That's...that's sexism, and it's a psychological trauma for me!"
Banami's parents were both self-employed and worked long hours, leaving home at two or three in the morning. As a result, he was often left alone at home in the middle of the night when he was a child, and there were even times when he was robbed in the middle of the night and had to sleep alone in the house.
That's nothing compared to what he remembers most vividly: when he was a child, he woke up to pee, and his parents had already left. He found a wriggling centipede in the living room, which terrified him so much that he ran back to his room and closed the door. He didn't even dare to go out to pee, and he almost peed on the bed because he was holding it in.
After hearing about Banami's experience, the two girls even looked at him with a hint of pity.
The poor, unlucky child.
Banami, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, shouted, "Let's figure out how to deal with this thing first."
It's ridiculous that three young people, one man and two women, were stumped by a centipede.
As a result, Miaomeng slapped him on the back and said with a hint of disdain, "Hey, I originally wanted to give you a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but you couldn't do it."
After saying that, Miaomeng, showing no trace of her previous panicked expression, simply grabbed a tissue and walked over. Right in front of Banami, she picked up the live centipede with the tissue in her hand, wrapped it up, threw it into the trash can, and then clapped her hands cleanly and said, "Done."
Banami opened her mouth in surprise, but then saw Meowmee raise her V sign and say, "How about it? My acting has improved recently, hasn't it?"
He couldn't help but look at Maki next to him, only to find her covering her mouth and giggling.
This one is a born actor.
Banami couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and said in annoyance, "So you two were just making fun of me, weren't you?"
Originally, the two of them just made up an excuse to let Banai come to their door, giving him a chance to win their favor.
It turns out this guy is even more cowardly than the two girls, so there's nothing we can do.
Maki smiled and comforted her, "It's because Nyan-chan felt you hadn't been here in a long time, so..."
They came up with this terrible idea.
Miao Mengqin teased, "After all, you're such a busy person, usually busy with things like Saki-chan, Anon-chan, and Soyo-chan."
Clearly, Miaomeng's tone was slightly sour.
Then she rolled her eyes at Maki and said, "And don't put all the blame on me. You were the one who came up with the idea. You're the most insidious one... I'm always the one who rushes to the front when things go wrong, and you just pretend to be innocent."
Clearly, the outspoken Meow-chan and the thoughtful Maki are quite complementary in personality.
Seeing this, Banai said mischievously, "Now that you two have seen me, I'm not broken or wrecked, and all my limbs are intact, can I slip away now?"
Miao Mengqin stretched out her hand and walked over, smiling as she said, "Hanami-kun, you don't want the hand that just grabbed the centipede to end up in your mouth now, do you?"
"I was just kidding, don't come any closer!" Just as Banai was about to back away, Maki blocked his escape route perfectly.
You two are so in sync!
"Hmph, this is your punishment for ignoring me all the time." Meow Dream extended her claws to Banami's face, looking quite resentful, as if she wanted to settle both old and new scores.
"Ugh, your hands smell awful."
"Huh?! You really dare to say that! Which mouth of yours is so good at talking? Open your mouth and let your sister take a look at you and give you a checkup!"
"No, Sister Meow!"
Chapter Two: The Story of Me Transmigrating to Another World and Still Having to Save Up a Dowry to Get Married
Soon after, the three of them sat on the sofa after their playful fight, with Banami squeezed between the two girls.
Savoring the delicate fragrance of Yutenji Wakami's hair, Banami seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Hanami, lately, haven't you been going too far? It's one thing to go after Toyokawa Shoko, but you even made a move on Wakaba Mutsumi. And recently, even Chihaya Aine agreed to your ridiculous harem plan. Aren't you feeling pretty smug now?"
"What harem plan? That sounds so awful. I just want everyone to be happy together," Banami quickly denied.
Just as Miaomeng was about to say something, Maki said from the side, "I think it's great that you're like this, Yu-kun. I really like the feeling of a big family like this. It's lively with many people, and everyone can be happy every day."
Maki breathed softly into the boy's ear.
This left Banami somewhat bewildered. To be honest, having a girl like Maki who constantly indulges his desires by his side, he really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Huh?! You haven't given up on your plan to become the sister-in-law and have an affair with Banana?" Miaomengqin said somewhat unhappily.
“You’re the one who should be saying that, Meow Dream. If Banami wasn’t so fickle, would you even have a chance? Even though you keep saying this and that, deep down you’ve already accepted it, haven’t you?” Maki said in a lighthearted tone.
Clearly, the attitudes of Nyanmu and Maki represent the attitudes of the girls around Hanami towards boys.
They were the opposition and the supporters of the harem, respectively.
Of course, the real situation is probably more complicated. The only true supporter might be Maki, that oddball, while the so-called opponents aren't really that opposed...
The next moment, the audacious Banami secretly reached her hand to Miaomeng's waist and pinched her soft flesh.
The girl who had just been nagging about Banami's flirtatious behavior was now blushing, and even secretly glanced at Maki beside her, as if afraid that Maki would discover Banami's little trick.
Just as she was feeling a little smug, she was unaware that Banami's other hand was actually on Maki's waist.
He couldn't help but compare the feel of their waists. Although Maki's body was relatively weak, her skin was surprisingly delicate, with a wonderful feel like smooth, creamy skin.
Miaomengqin's waist, however, appeared more toned, strong, and elastic.
After what happened with Aine, Banami realized that since she had decided to create happiness for everyone herself, she should be more proactive. Hesitation or using the excuse of doing what's best for them to pass the choice on to the other person would only make them more miserable and conflicted.
That wasn't just his arrogance.
All he could promise was to be gentler with them.
The two girls also realized that Banami had changed a little. Maki was happy to see this, while Nyanyu was basically the same as Shoko.
Otherwise, what else can we do but get a divorce?
Although she did not date the other person.
After a while, Maki explained softly, "Actually, there's something we wanted to discuss with you that we called you over."
The next moment, Miaomengqin said, "I want an identity card!"
Seeing a hint of doubt, Banami looked at the smiling Maki and said, "You two want to change your appearance, but is that really necessary?"
As a result, Miaomengqin smacked him hard on the head: "What do you mean by changing your appearance? I, Youtianji Ruomai, will never change my name or surname."
Maki continued gently, "What you mean is that you want an identity card like Chihaya's, not for us, but for you."
A beat late, Banami finally understood and said, "What you want is a completely new identity for me as your boyfriend?"
"What's with this 'we'?! It's me, it's my Meow Dream!" Yutenji Wakami exclaimed angrily.
Banami ignored her and thought about it for a moment. Although Banami's plan to date Aine under a new identity had failed, it was clear that while Aine wasn't interested at the time, someone else was.
Take Meow Dream for example. Now that things have come to this, if she wants to be with Banami, she doesn't expect him to choose her as the only one.
But the label of "mistress" was just too awful, and it was something she used to struggle with.
Knowing that Hanami could change her identity through an identity card, and imagining being able to attend classes with Hanami openly, go shopping together, visit her parents in Kumamoto, and even get married openly in the future, made Nyanko's heart flutter.
"Hey, Banami, I remember you said that you can choose your identity card freely, no matter what identity you have."
“That’s the principle, that’s correct,” said Banami.
"Then I think being a lawyer, a doctor, or a police officer is also a good profession. It's respectable and you can earn respect from others. Xi, what do you think?" Miao Meng blinked her eager eyes.
You've got your abacus beads jumping right into my face.
"However, the higher the status of the identity card, the more Cat Coins it requires. The ones you're talking about start at a million Cat Coins..."
Banami suddenly fell silent. He remembered that after returning from the island, he hadn't been very enthusiastic about fan creations. Since he no longer planned to return to his original world, he didn't need to use cheats much anymore. He spent his days hanging out with girls and had become somewhat lax.
Now, however, he does have some motivation to earn cat coins.
That's right, it's an identity card.
Since he was serious about building a harem and ensuring the girls around him had a happy life.
At the very least, they shouldn't be subjected to social criticism because of themselves. Therefore, apart from Xiangzi, each of them must be assigned a new identity card.
Even the lowest-tier identity card in the system store is not cheap.
It always starts with a million cat coins.
They can't really assign him the identity of a beggar or an illegal immigrant.
The ordinary Kyoto student ID card he bought for Aine cost nearly 700,000 cat coins, almost depleting his last cat coin reserves.
