🕑 Added 2021-09-30 08:52:23 +0000 UTCJunichi immediately excluded the 3rd option because it would lose his chance of talking to Hibiki, so only 1st and 2nd are his choices, honestly, it didn’t matter which would he would pick between the two because they were similar, but the difference is that the 2nd choice is directing his intention to get to know her better.
So the best choice was for him to pick the 1st option, but for some reason he felt like it’s wiser for him to pick the 2nd choice since this option started to pop out, he never once tried to pick a risky answer, since he only picked the safest one.
And right now, he wanted to pick a risky answer, ultimately he picked the 2nd option.
“Then, I’ll help you pick a good phone, in exchange for your phone number, I might not look like it but I’m quite knowledgeable in phones.” Junichi smiles at her.
Hibiki blushed a little, she didn’t expect him to be direct, she wasn’t a fool, so obviously she knows his ulterior motive, however, this was the first time that someone had the intention to woo her, unlike Haruka she wasn’t inexperienced in something like this, since this is her first time she doesn’t know how to respond.
Junichi didn’t rush her, he thought. ‘This choice was better than I expected.’
He stared at her status, and he saw.
Name: Tsukahara Hibiki
Affection:77% (Love?)
Mood: Hesitant, Nervous, Happy?
Current thoughts: W-what should I do…?
It took her a full minute to decide, she said, “Okay, please take care of me.”
“Tsukihara-senpai, the way you answer me is like you accepted my confession.”
“C-confession?! Tachibana-kun! D-don't say nonsense!” Hibiki shouted loudly enough for anyone near them to hear her.
“Ha-ha, got you anyway you should restrain your voice, people are looking at you, you know?”
Hibiki realized most people inside and even outside the shop were looking at her, because of this, she became embarrassed, although she blamed Junichi for this, she also knows that it’s her fault for shouting, so she didn’t hold any grudge toward Junichi because it was her own mistake for shouting that loud after all.
“Anyway, senpai let’s start looking for your phone shall we?”
“A-alright.”
After that, Junichi helped Hibiki looks for a good phone, her budget is 30,000 yen, it’s enough to buy a decent phone, it took them half hour to find the perfect phone suitable for Hibiki, whether it’s the performance and appearance, she was satisfied with the phone that Junichi helps her look.
“That took longer than expected, but it was fun anyway.” Junichi was plenty satisfied talking with Hibiki, she’s just so fun to be with, now that he thinks about it, this was the longest conversation they had so far.
“Yeah, it was really fun..” Hibiki genuinely was happy, she never thought that it was fun talking to someone of the opposite sex, she experienced a different kind of feeling talking with him, their conversation might be random but it was unexpectedly fun a fulfilling.
“Now, you have to fulfill the condition.” Junichi would never forget those 10 digit numbers.
“O-of I didn't forget about it...my number is..” Hibiki gave him her phone number.
She just registered this number, so basically, Junichi was the first person to know her number.
“T-then, I’ll have to go now,..”
“Yeah, I'll be sure to call you after this.” Junichi gave her a massive grin.
Hibiki blushed and didn’t say anything and she left outside the shop. Junichi still had a massive grin hanging on his face, even after Hibiki left.
“She didn’t say anything, so it means it’s okay for me to call her? Nice, I’d never forgotten to call her for sure.” Junichi went to pick his phone after that, it didn’t think him long to choose because, he already know what phone he’s buying, as for the laptop he bought the one with the best performance, he didn’t care about the brand nor appearance.
As for the rest of the money, he bought a Bluetooth speaker and headset, since he still has a few extra thousand yen. He bought a few meat buns for Miya, she should be grateful for this...
When he finally arrived home, the first one that greeted him was Miya.
“Nii-nii! I can smell the meat buns from your hands! Give it to me!”
“Miya, are you a dog or something? Your nose is amazing damn.” He was amazed by her ability to smell meat buns from far away, it’s no different from a super power, though it’s a bit useless.
“How dare you call your cute sister a dog!” Miya complained.
“Whatever, you want the meat buns or not?”
“I DO! “ Miya replied without hesitation.

Inside his room, he finally had the necessary gadget to make a novel! He couldn’t wait anymore, he wanted his imagination to run wild as soon as possible, he opened his new laptop and opened Microsoft to start writing.
The first novel that he’s going to plagiarize is Haganai, he never liked the ending of the novel, so he’s going to change a lot of things as he said before rather than plagiarizing it’s more like a fanfic.
Since he already had the general idea of what the plot is going to be, with his speed he could write 1,000 words per 20 minutes, he let his imagination go wild.
A few hours later, he managed to write more than 20,000 words. This kind of speed was unthinkable for him in the past, but his skill ‘Focus’ made him concentrate on writing without stopping.
“Alright, now it’s time for me to publish this on a popular novel platform.” Junichi wanted to publish it directly in a publishing company, but that isn’t possible for him, first of all, he had no experience as an author, he had zero popularity of zero as a writer, what does an author need to publish an LN? A good story is one thing, but other than that the author needs popularity, if an author remains unknown who would buy their stories then?
So publishing his first novel on a novel platform is the best choice to gain readers, and maybe an editor might be interested in publishing his novel as LN, this was a common route, WN to LN, but popular authors can skip the WN process because they have an editor and loyal fans.
Junichi finally found a good platform to publish his first novel. Haganai, before publishing it, he created an account and verified necessary things to have the right to publish a story. After everything, he finally published his first novel on the platform he chose.
As for his wallpaper, he didn’t put one because, he doesn’t have any illustrator, in japan it’s illegal to use an illustration with a copyright claim, so he can’t just randomly pick an illustration online, especially when he’s making an original novel, because there is a chance that it might get deleted.
Now it’s for him to wait for people to read his story, though he won’t be expecting much because he’s not popular after all.
(End-)
