Chapter 7
At that moment, Utaha Kasumigaoka was leaning against her soft headboard while chatting with Mineo.
Seeing Mineo send a string of ellipses, an incredibly enchanting smile blossomed on Utaha's face.
Her slender legs, clad in elegant black stockings, crossed over one another gracefully. A second later, she resumed typing a message on her phone.
"Mineo-sensei, may I ask you something out of curiosity? Do all men really like that kind of thing...?"
"??? Like what kind of thing!?"
"You know..."
"What exactly are you referring to... Utaha, we're already very close, just speak plainly!"
"I... I just wanted to ask, do you men spend the entire day dreaming about opening a harem in your heads!"
Back when Utaha first started writing novels, she defined herself as a "pure love" genre author. However, after undergoing years of relentless brainwashing from Mineo, Utaha felt as if the gates to a brand-new world had been flung wide open for her!
Later, after several of her harem-themed novels were published, Utaha realized that her works received an exceptionally warm reception from male fans. It was at that point she realized the minds of men in this world were indeed filled with such things!
However, after seeing the message Utaha sent, Mineo replied without a hint of hesitation:
"A harem is a man's romance... and I, of course, am no exception!"
"Hmph, as expected, Mineo-sensei is just like I thought. I truly misjudged you!"
Utaha sent that message, and then a second later, she continued:
"Writing novels and letting everyone fantasize—I can still accept that! But, if I had to become a member of a harem myself, that is absolutely impossible!"
"By the way, Utaha, I'm curious to ask, suppose I were your boyfriend and I wanted to start a harem, what would you do...?"
"If any other man I was in a relationship with said he wanted a harem, I would break up with him immediately! I'd tell him to get as far away as possible. But if Mineo-sensei were my boyfriend, then I would..."
"Then you would choose to forgive me with an open heart?"
"Keep dreaming! If Mineo-sensei were my boyfriend, and despite having me you still thought about opening a harem every day, I would break all three of your legs. Let's see if you'd still dare to think about it then..."
"Don't joke around... are you really that vengeful toward me, Utaha...? We're at least old friends who have known each other for ages... if you break all my legs, how am I supposed to eat later!"
"Hmph, if I break all three of Mineo-sensei's legs, I will be the one to support you for the rest of your life! I'll make sure you stay home every single day, not allowed to go anywhere. I want to see if you still dare to have those wandering thoughts..."
After she finished typing that message, Utaha's face was already flushed deep red right up to her cheeks.
She hesitated over whether she should actually hit send!
Mineo-sensei should be able to understand the hidden meaning I want to convey, right?
Gritting her teeth, Utaha sent the message anyway.
At the same time, Mineo saw the message from Utaha.
"Good grief... did Utaha just confess her feelings to me?"
"If it were another man she'd break up instantly, but with me, she'd break my legs and then support me forever?"
"Well, it seems Utaha's education is still far from complete."
"The task ahead is still heavy; I must keep working hard!"
Muttering to himself, Mineo replied to Utaha's message.
"It seems I really have to hide far, far away from you, Utaha!"
"Three legs, huh? That's way too cruel!"
Seeing Mineo's reply, Utaha bit her lower lip.
Mineo-sensei's thoughts really are impure!
Am I, Utaha, not attractive enough on my own?
It seems I need to do more to brainwash him with the path of pure love.
Reality is not a novel!
If you start a harem, do you even have the strength to take care of everyone?
It seems that in order to make Mineo-sensei distinguish between reality and novels, I still have much to fight for!
After a few more words, Utaha said goodbye because she had to head to the editorial office.
Mineo told her to be careful on the road and then closed his phone.
After taking a short afternoon nap, Mineo suddenly felt something new added to his mind!
It seemed his "Gold Finger" had given him another gift!
Because he had previously boasted to Erina and the others that he managed a restaurant, his cheat had actually arranged a restaurant for him!
However, this restaurant was a bit special!
The restaurant's location was on a main street not far from Totsuki Academy in Japan!
But in reality, it was a restaurant that connected the entire 2D world.
The friends on his phone whose message counts had reached over 5,000 could be invited to visit through this Dimensional Restaurant!
The threshold was 5,000 messages. Friends who reached that number could receive an invitation to visit the restaurant up to five times. Furthermore, for every additional 1,000 messages, their visit opportunities would increase by one (+1)!
Take Utaha, for example, who had already chatted with him more than 6,000 times! Mineo could give her six visit invitations.
Additionally, the Dimensional Restaurant featured a random guest summon once a week!
Many 2D worlds didn't have things like mobile phones, so some important figures in those worlds couldn't become his friends.
Only through the random summon feature of the Dimensional Restaurant could he call them to come and eat.
