Chapter 12
The Scoundrel Who Capsized His Relationship, Lin Xi's Game Design

Ogiwara Sayu, even now, hadn't told Lin Xi about her past.

She didn't mention the reason for her running away from home.

But Lin Xi could see the anxiety and dependence she had towards him.

Seeing her still slightly uneasy, Lin Xi lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

"Sayu, if you want, you can stay at Sakura Manor forever."

"As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone take you away."

"I don't know what your past was like, or why you ran away from home, but you're my woman, and I will never stand idly by."

"I don't want Sayu to live in constant confusion and anxiety."

"That would defeat the purpose of making you stay."

"Remember what I said?"

"I want to find happiness, and I want to make sure those I care about around me find happiness too."

"So, I won't ask about your past, I just hope you can settle down and think carefully about how to move forward in life."

"Anyway, I'll be with you all the way, witnessing the road to our happiness."

Hearing this, Ogiwara Sayu's eyes quickly welled up.

"Lin, you know how to sweet-talk me."

"Cough, cough, I'm telling the truth! See my big eyes? They are full of sincerity!"

"Pfft, I didn't see any sincerity, I only saw lustful eyes."

Ogiwara Sayu laughed and poked his face with her finger.

"Sometimes I wish you were a bald old man."

"Because that way, I could have you all to myself."

Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"

Ogiwara Sayu instantly recalled his beastly abilities and blushed, spitting out a curse.

"I take back what I said."

She alone, seemed like she couldn't hold this man.

Didn't she see how Igusa Misaki last night surrendered and begged for mercy?

After being coaxed by Lin Xi, Ogiwara Sayu regained her lively and energetic spirit.

If those who knew her before saw her acting cute with Lin Xi, their jaws would surely drop in shock.

Actually, Ogiwara Sayu used to be a very cool and beautiful girl.

She was always cold towards others, especially men.

She was also ostracized because of this coolness.

Perhaps Lin Xi, after getting her, used his gentleness to warm her heart.

In any case, she was willing to show him her cheerful and cute side.

A beautiful girl's smile is always healing.

Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.

Kanda Kota finally returned to Sakura Manor.

He happily gave all the cats to Ishihara Rimi, asking her to take them.

Of course, he kept a few, as mascots of Sakura Manor, and as a souvenir for himself.

That evening, he found Lin Xi, looking hesitant and unable to speak.

Lin Xi smiled slightly.

"Do you want to leave Sakura Manor?"

Kanda Kota lowered his head in guilt, "I'm sorry, landlord, I really want to go back to the school dormitory."

"It's okay, I respect your choice. After all, Sakura Manor has a bad reputation because of some people."

"Huh?"

Kanda Kota was stunned.

Bad reputation, that must be the human cannonball, Mitaka Jin, senior.

Even ordinary students like him knew about Mitaka Jin's playboy ways of having six girlfriends at once, so even more people in the school knew about it.

"Well, you know it. So I understand your feelings, Kanda, don't feel embarrassed."

"Following the crowd, blending in with the masses, is the choice of most people, and it's not wrong."

Lin Xi's tolerant words moved Kanda Kota deeply.

He bowed deeply to Lin Xi.

"Thank you for taking care of me all this time."

"You're welcome, remember to say goodbye to Senishiki Chihiro-sensei properly."

"I will."

That night, they held a farewell ceremony for Kanda Kota.

Lin Xi even cooked personally, sending off the kindhearted boy.

Uenokusa Misaki, acting like a senior, livened up the atmosphere.

Her gaze fell on Lin Xi, and she showed some shyness.

Girls always have strange feelings for men who have their body.

Kanda Kota was a little reluctant to leave such great seniors and juniors, but since he had made up his mind, he had to move out.

He felt that he and these geniuses were not meant to be together.

Although he was also in Suimei Art University's affiliated high school, he had no artistic talent, and he felt like he was just there to slack off.

Living in the same house as geniuses would only make him feel more and more inferior.

Leaving early was a good thing for him.

Kanda Kota expressed his gratitude to Senishiki Chihiro solemnly.

If it weren't for Senishiki Chihiro asking him to come to Sakura Manor, he wouldn't even know where to stay.

And Lin Xi, he was the one he was most grateful to.

Thanks to Lin Xi, he found a perfect way to send the cats off.

Senishiki Chihiro soon got drunk again.

This beautiful teacher, I don't know where she got her love for alcohol.

She probably wasn't doing well on blind dates.

To Lin Xi's surprise, Uenokusa Misaki didn't drink much that night. She just had rosy cheeks and occasionally stole glances at Lin Xi and Ogiwara Sayu.

Her expression was a little conflicted.

As for the playboy Mitaka Jin, he was out playing with his married girlfriend who was clinging to him.

So he didn't come back for the farewell party.

He just said a few words verbally, expressing his blessings to Kanda Kota.

As for Akasaka Ryuunosuke, he was a social recluse and a tech geek. If he could, he would want to stay indoors all year round.

He expressed his farewell through his AI maid, via an electronic screen.

He also asked Kanda Kota to bring him dinner, and to just leave it at the door.

Lin Xi also specially gave Kanda Kota a bag of tomatoes to deliver.

Akasaka Ryuunosuke loved to stay home, program, and eat tomatoes.

In the future, for game development, Akasaka Ryuunosuke could be responsible for game programming.

He was a genius programmer.

Even big companies would scramble to hire him.

However, Akasaka Ryuunosuke had his AI maid refuse them all.

The farewell party went as planned.

However, things were about to explode on Mitaka Jin's side.

His married girlfriend suddenly said she wanted to marry him.

She completely betrayed their previous agreement.

What made him even more terrified was that his girlfriend's husband appeared.

To prove her love for him, his girlfriend quarreled with her husband and wanted to marry him.

But how could Mitaka Jin agree?

His attitude made the woman's face turn pale.

The woman's husband was even more furious.

"You stupid woman, now you understand? This little white face is just playing with you, he doesn't love you at all!"

"If he really loved you and wanted to marry you, I would let you go."

With that, the man clenched his fists and lunged at Mitaka Jin.

Mitaka Jin was beaten black and blue, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The price of being caught messing with a married woman was like this.

He had no right to fight back.

"Enough! Husband, don't hit him!"

The woman tearfully stopped her husband's actions. She glanced at Mitaka Jin with a hurt expression and, dragging her husband, whose fists were covered in blood, left without looking back.

Mitaka Jin lay on the ground, gasping in pain.

The pain in his heart was even worse.

He had always been proud of himself for managing to not capsize even with six girlfriends at the same time, and that his girlfriends all got along and he could have a different one every night of the week.

Being affirmed by six girlfriends was also a rare sense of accomplishment for a man.

But today, reality slapped him hard in the face.

He, Mitaka Jin, had capsized!

Mitaka Jin, who was beaten up, had nowhere to go to reason with anyone. He didn't want to go back to Sakura Manor and let Uenokusa Misaki see his sorry state.

He could only return to his hotel, licking his wounds and thinking that he would have to postpone the animation planning for Uenokusa Misaki.

However.

He didn't know.

After the farewell party, Uenokusa Misaki grabbed Lin Xi's hand and dragged him to her room, taking out the game planning document that was placed by the door.

She stared at him with adoring eyes.

"Lin Xi, did you make this game plan? How did you think of it? It's so touching!"

"But isn't the plot a bit too depressing?"

"The magical girl who saves the world is actually a plot by Kyubey, the magical girl will become a witch who destroys everything, the magical girl Sakisaki's best friend keeps going through reincarnation to save the heroine..."

"Wuwuwu, although it's depressing, the plot is so great, I'm starting to get excited!"

"If we complete the game and successfully animate it, we'll definitely become famous!"
