Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

About me starting a harem in a comic book world. Chapter 13.

"Yeah? Let me see."

As a senior geek, Subaru's only interest on the internet was to watch anime, and after crossing over to this world, well, not even being able to watch anime, Subaru had no reason to turn on the computer, which was why he didn't know anything about the news on the internet.

Taking out his phone, Subaru went to the homepage of the Electric Shock Anthology and found that the homepage had changed at some point, and once inside, a Highest Winner popped up, and then the words from the prologue of Spring Things slowly emerged.

"Youth is a lie, it's evil..."

Finally the title of the book, the author emerges. It was only after this series of animations that the page automatically jumped to the home page.

This was too much, Subaru's eyebrows shook a few times. Finger tapping, he entered the discussion board, and as expected, 90% of the topics inside the discussion board were about his book.

"Wow, those first few words at the beginning already drew me in. You definitely can't miss this book."

"You guys look at the author information, it's actually a newcomer! Awesome!"

"Really hey! It's unthinkable for a newcomer to win the Highest Winner Award!"

"Hasn't the official release date been released yet, I can't wait to see it!"

"Cut, are you all bluffed by this award, a glance at the title is not a good book."

"That's right, doesn't it win the highest winning prize, plus the official ruthlessly blowing, maybe the official to get boo head randomly pick a novel indiscriminately."

"The two of you upstairs, is this the first time you've watched the Light Novel Grand Prize competition at the Electric Shock Library? How hard is it to get the top honors award and you don't have any B's in your head?"

"Upstairs is correct, some people really are..."

The discussion forum had mixed feelings about the book, but most of them were full of anticipation for it, and I must say that this promotion of the Electric Shock Anthology was really helpful.

Subaru exited the homepage, and looked at other news pages, and even on the N site there were many people discussing their book.

This was really powerful hey, Subaru put away his phone, not expecting a top winning prize since it had so much power.

"How?" , Kenjiro asked with a smirk.

"I'm still a little out of it..."

"Hahaha, normal normal." , Kenjiro patted Subaru's shoulder, took out a thick file from inside his briefcase, and then said, "Let's continue what we said earlier, now the novel is only missing the illustration, this illustration also needs the author to make his own choice, I have here the information about the illustration teacher that the company screened out for you and their test work, you can look at it and then choose one or more illustration teachers! , let's schedule a time to talk together." , Kenjiro said, handing Subaru the file.

Subaru didn't take it and shook his head, "No, Tsuki-san, I don't want to give the illustration to someone else, I want to draw it myself."

"You can still draw?!" This time it's Kenjiro's turn to be confused, light novel writers can draw and illustrate, so why don't we just quietly be mortals?

"Yes, do you have a pen and paper, please?"

"There." , Kenjiro pulled out an A4 sheet of paper and a neutral pen from inside his briefcase and handed it to Subaru together.

Picking up the paper and pencil, ten minutes later, there were three more fresh figures on the paper. Subaru pushed the paper in front of Kenjirou while pointing it out to him.

"The boy in the middle is Hachiman, the one with long hair is Yukino, and the one on the other side is Yui."

Kenjiro pushed up his glasses and picked up the paper to observe it carefully, then suddenly, as if thinking of something else, he opened the file and compared the characters drawn by those illustration teachers with the one in his hand.

In the end, Kenjiro had to admit that Subaru's drawings were the most suitable for the novel. No one can surpass the author in terms of understanding his work. However, there was no precedent for the author to draw the illustrations himself.

Waiting quietly for Kenjiro to finish reading the illustrations, Subaru was a little proud of himself, "What?"

"Since it's the author who has done it, there's certainly no one to beat in terms of image."

"In that case..."

Kenjiro interrupted what Subaru wanted to say, "But our company has no precedent for authors drawing their own illustrations before this, and I don't know how I'm going to handle this, I need to report this to the company."

Subaru nodded in understanding.

"That's enough for today then, I'll head back to the office now to report back to the higher-ups and try to get the news to you sooner." , Kenjiro drained his cup in one gulp and stood up, holding out his hand to Subaru.

Subaru also held out his hand and shook it with Kenjiro, smiling, "Well, thank you very much then."

"You're welcome, that's the job of the editor-in-charge."

After paying the bill at the counter, they walked out of the restaurant together, then Kenjiro said his goodbyes and made his way to the nearest subway station at a hurried pace.

"Well then, if there's nothing else to do, go home and play online games."

Saying a word to himself, Subaru stretched his body and headed for home.

........

"Yo, Subaru! I can't believe I'm not late today."

When they arrived at the guild, Shuffan and Yaprico were already sitting in the guild, and the knight and priest hadn't arrived yet.

"What's that supposed to mean, talking as if I'm always late." , Subaru sat down next to Shuffan.

Saying that, two flashes of light, the knight and the priest entered the guild rest area together.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Good evening, Shufan-san, Yaplico-san, Subaru-san."

"Alright." , the president stood up, "Now that the whole crew is here, let's get today's guild mission done! Let's go!"

A few flashes of light and the guild members appeared at the location of today's copy.

"Hey! President, what is this mission?"

After teleporting to the replica location, unlike the expected flurry of monsters, no other creatures appeared here except for the Subaru Five.

"Hmm~~ Let's see." , Subaru brought up the mission panel, suddenly appearing surprised, "Oh~~! We've drawn a special assignment!"

"Special assignment?" , Subaru was a little curious, having not encountered a special mission as far as he could remember.

"Take a look for yourselves." , the president sent the mission information to the guild members.

Subaru pulled up the mission, and a few big words on it caught his attention.

Guild...The battle of the strongest? If the winner is not determined within 30 minutes, the system will select the strongest player based on the performance score. (To be fair, players of the priest profession will be matched with a knight of the same level (computer), and the knight can still continue to fight if the priest dies in battle, but if the priest dies in battle the knight dies as well.)

"This...", Subaru didn't expect the system to assign a special task like this.

Apocalypse laughed, "Isn't that great, all of you just let it go!"

Xiu Fan nodded, "Come on come on, let you all see the true strength of this master!"

The knights and priests also looked like they were eager to try.

When did they all become so belligerent... Subaru spat in his heart.

"So then, let's get started!" , Yapko could click on the start button of the mission panel and a huge teleportation array opened at the feet of the five men, who were then passed to a small pentagonal island. Each of the five took a corner, oh no, six, and Yako had been joined by a female knight with a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right.

After everyone had arrived, the countdown began directly above the island.

"3...."

"2......."

"1......."

"Start!"

Chapter 18 - The Strongest Man Competition

"Da-da-da-da-da..."

Subaru stared at the screen, a bead of sweat running from his head to his chin, Subaru's fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard. Ten minutes had passed since the battle had begun, and the situation had reached a fever pitch.

Among the current five plus one computer, except for Yako and her knight who were still in full blood, the other four were dangerously low on blood, especially Subaru, who had twice risked sneak attacks on mages but had been blocked back, and now whoever or even a normal attack from a priest could make Subaru exit the battlefield.

Kryptonians are so annoying... Pleiades was spouting madly in his mind, the timing of Pleiades' two strikes were well stuck when the mage was chanting advanced magic, and as a result, both strikes were blocked by the mage's advanced items, and the desperate situation was hardened into a wound-for-wound situation. If it wasn't for the fact that this copy didn't allow the use of potions, this Kryptonian could definitely go 1 for 4.

On the other side, the knight and the sword dancer fought, one main attack and one main defense, it was reasonable that for a character who wasn't good at attacking, the sword dancer could have relied on normal attacks to slowly wear him down, but the knight also had a revenge skill, every time he received an attack there was a certain probability that he could send out a shield strike at a very fast speed, which also made it very difficult for the sword dancer. The two of them also fought to a draw.

On the other hand, the priestess, who was quietly watching the four scuffle from the side, hadn't been injured since the beginning, as no one was paying attention to her at all....

"It's time for the final moment." , Subaru typed out a paragraph.

The four retreated back to the corner of the battlefield, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.

Yaplico: "Uh-huh-huh-huh! That's a pretty tough battle."

Subaru: "The one person least qualified to say that is you! Dead Kryptonian!"

Yaprico: "Well, don't mind these details, besides how can I a mage spell a ranger without kryptonite."

Huffan: "Alright, alright, let's get it over with, that Lucian guy's defense is harder than a tortoise shell, it's killing me to beat him."

Lucian: "Hmph, I'm a shield knight whose defense is paramount!"

Subaru: "Come on!"

Subaru was the first to take action, taking out his bow and shooting split arrows at the three of them before quickly switching to dagger mode and suddenly disappearing into thin air.

The damage of the arrows shot by Subaru who majored in dagger was pitifully low and basically had no effect on the three.

Shufan picked up his greatsword and closed the distance between him and the knight with a charge, while on the other side the knight had summoned his battle aura and took a defensive stance. The mage added a lava shield to himself at the first opportunity, wary of the Pleiades that might appear at any moment.

It was now! Seeing that the knight's defense was focused on the sword dancer, Pleiades, who was waiting for the opportunity to stab the mage, suddenly appeared behind the knight, dagger in hand waved out, dagger mode's ultimate skill, Death's Kiss launched.

Just as Pleiades appeared behind the knight, the Sword Dancer also suddenly turned his direction, the last part of his charge was used, and he rushed towards the mage, the Sword Dancer's ultimate skill launched, Sword Dance Whirlwind.

Xiu Fan and Subaru had even made the same choice at the same time, acting out a good scene of Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword Intention in Pei Gong.

But reality never follows the script one imagines.

"Lucian!" The priestess who had taken it all in shouted out anxiously and used her ultimate skill on the knight without hesitation, and the knight's blood volume was instantly returned to full. Even so, when the Kiss of Death hit the knight, half of the knight's blood level was taken away. Vengeance then triggered, and a shield strike took away the last of Subaru's blood volume.

Meow meow meow? Subaru in front of the computer had been dumbfounded, the one just now, was an angel descending, right... Yako...?

On the other side, the mage did not expect the sword dancer to turn around and attack him at all, and the magic trap he had set in the air was completely ineffective. In a rush, the mage could only unleash his ultimate skill, Mirror Copy, which had only one effect, returning twice the damage he had received to the person who had caused the damage.

As a result, as expected, the moment Xiu Fan's sword blade touched the mage, the two of them simultaneously floated out damage on their heads before falling to the ground together and disappearing into two shadows of light.

Now all that was left on the field was the half-blooded knight and the priest who had only put in one ultimate skill, and by the way, there was also a computer that was motionless next to the priest.

Lucian: "..."

The knight turned to look at the priest for a few moments and disappeared, looking like he had just abandoned the mission....

After the knight disappeared, the time beating above the copy stopped, then exploded like fireworks, and the fire gradually gathered into Yazi's name.

"Congratulations to player Yazi, the strongest of the guild array cats!"

After the system vocalized, a badge fell from the sky onto the priest's hand.

The Strongest: Yako (Array Cat)

Subaru: "...and..."

Huffan: "........"

Arplico: "..."

The crowd appeared at the guild's activity center.

Xiu Fan: "Suddenly I feel that today's mission is so boring."

Subaru: "Same feeling."

Yaprico: "It feels like I won't be happy even if I win..."

"Ugh~~"

The three of them sighed and turned their eyes to the priest who was happily hugging the knight and repeating "Lucian".

"I'll go down first." , as if he couldn't take it anymore, Shufan gave a greeting and went offline.

"Me too, let's not forget about tomorrow's event." , and the chairman followed offline as well.

Subaru didn't say anything, and silently went offline, it turned out that you can eat dog food inside the game, and feel bad all over....

........

In the morning, Subaru was standing in front of the park in front of the station, looking at his watch from time to time.

It was strange that the five of them lived in the same city and district, but Subaru sighed. The more Subaru thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

"Subaru...Subaru?"

A male voice sounded behind him and Subaru quickly turned around, a teenager who looked to be about his own age was standing there.

"Yes, I am, and may I ask who you are..."

"I'm Lucian! Wow, it sure is a shame to say the name of your game (whisper)."
