However, for the sake of his game, Tomoya couldn't think about that much anymore.

"I'll send you back to aunt and uncle's house." Tomoya pretended to be strong.

In his opinion, Michiru definitely wouldn't want to go home, and since she had no other relatives to rely on in Chiba, she could only choose to compromise and stay with him.

"Haha!"

Michiru laughed, her expression unusually cold.

"Michiru, don't be so willful..." Tomoya frowned deeply.

"Aki Tomoya!"

The sudden use of his full name stunned him. This should be the first time he had heard her call him that.

"Goodbye."

Michiru stood up expressionlessly, picking up her suitcase and leaving.

"Michiru! Where are you going?" Tomoya immediately became anxious.

"None of your business!" Michiru said coldly.

"You...!"

"You'll regret this!!"

Tomoya stomped his feet in anger.

He couldn't understand why she would rather leave than help him make a game.

Could it be that his game really couldn't compare to Tenya's game?

Tomoya was an extremely self-centered person.

He saw games as his dream and insisted on competing with Tenya. However, he didn't realize that Tenya didn't take games seriously at all.

When he first said he wanted to make a game, it was just a casual remark, but then Eriri and Utaha took notice, and with Shizuka's push, he somehow ended up forming a game development club.

In Tenya's opinion, developing games was just for fun, something to play around with, and it didn't matter whether it was successful or not.

What was important was how many treasure chests he had met during the process of making the game... Oh no, it was friends.

The overall conclusion was that Tenya would never see Tomoya as a competitor.

Bang!

Michiru left Tomoya's house resolutely, pulling her suitcase, and walked down the street with a dejected expression.

She looked at the contact information of the three band members on her phone and shook her head.

"No..."

"Tokino lives quite far away, it's inconvenient to go back and forth."

"Echika's family has five people, there's no extra room."

"As for Ranko, she's living with her boyfriend, I can't disturb them."

Michiru was momentarily in a difficult situation. However, the weather was not cooperating.

Rumble!

Accompanied by a low rumble of thunder, it started to rain under the overcast sky.

Michiru was tired and hungry, dragging her heavy suitcase, and could only take shelter from the rain in a pavilion in a nearby park.

Part of her clothes were wet from the rain, and the autumn wind quickly dropped the temperature.

Michiru hugged herself with both hands, curled up in the corner, like an abandoned stray dog, trembling in the cold wind.

Now she was hungry and cold. Michiru's nose stung.

How did she end up in this state?

At the same time.

Tomoya also noticed that it was raining outside, and felt a little worried.

"Michiru, will she be okay?"

"No..."

"I can't be soft-hearted!"

"Wait a little longer."

"Only by offering help when she has nowhere to go will she obediently listen to me."

As someone who had been immersed in the internet for many years, he had self-taught himself many tactics.

...

"Damn Tomoya..."

"He actually didn't chase after me."

"Are you really that heartless?"

Michiru stared intently in the direction of the street corner.

In her opinion, no matter how much they argued, they were still blood relatives, being cousins.

She never expected that he would actually disregard her fate.

"It's about time."

"At this moment, Michiru's inner defense line is at its weakest."

Tomoya reached out and pushed up his glasses, picked up his umbrella, and went out.

...

"Yo! Michiru, it seems you need help?"

"You've come... Huh? How could it be you?"

Hearing someone call her name made the desperate Michiru suddenly look up.

But the Tomoya she expected didn't appear, instead, it was another unexpected man.

"I came specifically to find you." Tenya got straight to the point.

Out of habit, he had placed a Soul Imprint on Michiru to sense her physical condition and location at any time.

Not long ago, he sensed that her body was chillingly cold, and thought she had encountered something strange.

He immediately used Kamui to arrive at the park, and saw Michiru squatting in the corner in self-isolation.

"Yoshida-kun..."

Michiru's heart trembled.

Tomoya understood people's hearts. He analyzed that Michiru was very vulnerable at this time.

Anyone who offered her help would not be refused!

What's more, the person who came was the handsome and rich Tenya.

"My house is quite big. If you don't mind, you can stay at my place for a while."

Tenya had a clear goal and extended a hand of friendship to her.

Let's get a treasure chest first!

"..."

Michiru's eyes paused.

To be honest, her relationship with Tenya wasn't deep.

Their relationship started with an employment cooperation, and they could barely be called acquaintances.

Under normal circumstances, Michiru would definitely not rashly go to stay at the home of someone of the opposite sex.

She wasn't some naive person, she understood.

What if something happened and she got pregnant?

Michiru looked at Tenya deeply for a while. She saw that his eyes were clear, without any hint of lewdness... and he was handsome.

Alright.

Facing such honest eyes, while Michiru breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little jealous.

This guy...

He isn't greedy at all!

Is my femininity really that weak?

He is a gentleman.

Michiru thought about it repeatedly and finally chose to accept Tenya's invitation.

"Thank you, Yoshida-kun."

She extended her cold little hand and held his warm big hand.

[Ding!]

[Extract?]

'Extract.'

[Opening A-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on obtaining Leadership]

[The ability to lead a team, members under the command of this skill will have increased focus and work efficiency!]

A good life skill. It also fits the club activities very well.

Tenya was very satisfied with this.
