Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

After Kenjiro shouted that, as if he had expected such a situation, he disappeared to nowhere all of a sudden, leaving Subaru here alone, Subaru like a boat moving in a storm, being dragged over and over by this person, and Subaru felt like he was going to be shaken out of his recently eaten lunch.

"Alright, alright, if we keep shaking like this, not to mention publishing books, our Sakamoto-sensei is going to die from you guys."

Seeing that everyone was making a scene, Kenjiro popped back out of nowhere and shielded Subaru behind his back as he dispersed his fellow editors who had gathered around.

Everyone also knew that Subaru had come over for business today and didn't bother the two anymore, but kept repeating "Let's have dinner tonight" and "Please be sure to enjoy it" and so on.

"How about that, you have a clear understanding of your novel this time, right?"

After sitting down in an empty conversation room, Kenjiro looked derisively at Subaru, who hadn't recovered for a long time.

Subaru sat and after taking several deep breaths, finally returned to normal and said helplessly, "I don't know if there's a clear understanding, but your editor is just, just too enthusiastic..."

"Haha, you know, the first volume is fine, but if you release the second volume, your reader fans will be absolutely crazier than those editors can you believe?"

"I believe..."

As soon as she imagined that scene, Subaru swallowed hard and cringed in fear.

"Okay, no more digressions." , the joke was almost over, it was time to get down to business, Kenjiro immediately switched to editing mode and his voice became very serious, "Did you bring the illustration?"

"Bring it."

Subaru pulled the flash drive out of his pocket and handed it to Kenjiro.

"Did you draw all of them in color?"

After inserting the flash drive, Kenjiro browsed through the illustrations Subaru had drawn and asked in surprise.

Subaru nodded, "Yes, after all, it's my own work, so I thought it would be better to draw them all in color."

If you want to say that the only difference between the previous life's "Argano" and this one was that Subaru had changed all the black and white illustrations to color illustrations.

"Hey~~ You're really on board."

Kenjirou looked at each illustration one by one, carefully going back and forth over each one several times. Not a single detail was missed.

"Well?" , saw Kenjiro close his laptop, Subaru asked.

"What should I do? All I can say is, that's not bad for an author...", Kenjiro breathed a sigh of relief, both the characters and the style of drawing were perfect, and fit the book perfectly. There was an inseparable feeling that "illustration belongs to the novel, and the novel belongs to illustration.

"So, it's qualified?"

"More than a pass." , Kenjiro grinned, "If that's what you call a pass, are you going to fail all those illustrations."

Subaru very politely thanked the editor-san for his praise.

"OK, now then, let's sign the contract."

Kenjiro took out the contract from inside his briefcase, the content was roughly the same as the light novel contract, except that the novel was replaced with an illustration, the only other difference was that the contract inside the illustration didn't have a profit share, only a manuscript fee, but this fee was significantly higher than the light novel.

It didn't seem like a problem, Subaru signed his name to the contract so that he only had to wait for the release date.

"Nice working together." , Kenjiro extended his hand.

"Pleasure working together." , Subaru extended his hand as well.

"It's finally over!"

As soon as Subaru held out his hand, the door to the conversation room burst open, and the editors who had just scattered were now all gathered inside the conversation room again. Subaru looked to Kenjiro, but luckily, the product didn't run this time.

"Sakamoto-sensei, please make sure to have dinner with us."

All the editors said in unison. It seemed that during the time that Subaru and Kenjiro were talking, the editors had reached a consensus.

Since the editors were so enthusiastic, Subaru couldn't refuse any longer and nodded, "I'm glad that you all invited me, in that case, I'll respectfully comply."

Once they heard Subaru agree, everyone looked excited.

"Then let's go to the Little Southern Kingdom, I was there last time, it's not bad in there hey."

"What's good about the Little Southern Kingdom, I know one, it's definitely better than the Little Southern Kingdom."

"What? The Little South Country is the best! What do you know!"

This Subaru had just agreed, and the editors were fighting over where to go for dinner.

"What are you guys doing?! Sakamoto-sensei he's not even an adult yet and you guys dragged him to an izakaya?"

The crowd just woke up to the fact that the highly popular writer who had won the top prize was just a 16-year-old high school student at this point. For a while, the apologetic voices rang out.

Subaru also didn't want to ruffle the feathers of these kind editors, so he opened his mouth and smiled, "I don't really mind, I can drink a little bit of wine, and it's nice to go to an izakaya."

In the previous dynasty, there wasn't a very hard and fast rule like the current one that said minors couldn't drink, and Subaru didn't particularly care.

"Really? Can Sakamoto-sensei drink?"

Subaru's words made the editors excited again, while their hearts became even more appreciative of the understanding writer.

"Hey, Subaru, can you really drink it?" , unlike the other editors, Kenjiro worriedly whispered a few questions.

Subaru likewise answered in a small voice, "It's fine it's fine, I've drunk before, I'll be fine if I drink less when the time comes."

"I'm relieved then, by the way, if you can't drink then give me a sign and I'll block the alcohol for you."

"If that's possible then thank you very much."

"It's nothing, after all, you only agreed to drink for the sake of these foolish editors, and that's something I should do."

That said, but really when Subaru felt like he was getting drunk and asked his editor to help block his drink, Kenjiro had already collapsed on the table and was sleeping. Why do you think you were drinking so hard when you had nothing to do? Subaru rolled his eyes inwardly, not being able to say no to someone else's raised glass, so he just had to keep drinking like this.

Eventually, Subaru got so drunk that he got on the train home with the last of his senses, rightfully riding past the stop and eventually not even remembering how he got back.

Chapter 40 - "Little Forward" Kashiki Ally

Sunday.

Wise Elementary School gym.

"Go! Come on, Fight, Fight!"

The spectator seats on both sides of the basketball court were already packed. Whether it was the sixth grade or the fifth grade or even many of the younger ones were in the audience, the great duel between the boys' basketball club and the girls' basketball club had already been spread throughout Huixin Elementary School.

"Players from both sides take the field."

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, the match was about to begin.

"Yay!!!"

The players were about to take the field which set the atmosphere on fire once again, with all the youthful schoolchildren cheering in solidarity for their favourite team. Of course, most of the elementary school students had their hearts set on the team of the same gender as themselves.

Subaru and Mihoshi stood at the girls' basketball club's resting place as coach and club teacher respectively. On the other side, there was only one person, a coach and club teacher nicknamed "Mantis".

Before the game started, Subaru, the coach, spoke for the last time.

"Let's go, everyone. We've been working hard these past two weeks, and now it's time for you to show the fruits of your practice. Let everyone see how the women's basketball club has gone from weak to strong step by step!"

"Yes, I understand!"

The loli replied in unison, and although they didn't have uniforms like the men's basketball club, and although they wore gymnastics uniforms, the loli all squeezed the amulets of varying colors on their chests tightly. It was as if Subaru was transferring power little by little to everyone in the women's basketball club.

"Please teach me more!"

Both players take a bow before the game and then stand in accordance with their playing positions.

The referee blows his whistle, signalling for both sides to jump.

Since Ellie was still a little scared of the overly competitive aspect, the task of jumping was given to the most skilled Chihuahua, and the men's basketball club's side took the field with the same ace they had, Natsuyo Takenaka.

"Beep-!"

The whistle sounded and the basketball was tossed into the air, Takenaka jumped first, but he made a misjudgment and jumped as high as he could before the basketball landed at the height of his hand, Chihuahua backed up and rapped it towards Makifumi.

"Mansail!"

"All right!"

True Sail received the ball slapped over by Jihana, and the girls' basketball club managed to get possession of the ball.

"Yes!" , Subaru squeezed his fist, his heart screaming for Jihana.

"Ally!" The ball was passed to Ally, who had moved to the basket, after a few rough dribbles.

Ellie caught the basketball and skillfully took three steps to the basket, and the basketball should fall in the net.

"Nice, Allie!"

"Well done! Ellie!"

The members of the women's basketball club were not shy about sending out their own compliments.

"Ehehehehe~~", Ally stroked her head in embarrassment, and looked happy herself, the repetitive practice for several days in a row was finally having an effect.

The men's basketball club served the ball, and it reached Ace Takenaka.

"Won't let you pass, Takenaka-san."

The ace dueled.

"This time, but you won't lose again, make it."

Chihuahua didn't reply again, her eyes averted, staring at Takenaka's movements.

Takenaka took a step to move to the right while lowering his body, his center of gravity had completely shifted, and it looked like he was trying to shake off Jihana's basket purely by speed.

"Chihuahua, I'll teach you a defensive technique. When defending, if the opponent is trying to break through you purely on speed, then his center of gravity will definitely lower and will generally not change direction again. At this time you have three ways, one is to speed up to stand early to block in front of him down at the time of physical contact, causing a foul on the opposite side with the ball. The second is to rely on the speed of the breakthrough when it is difficult to change hands, you can directly break the ball from his usual hand when he passes you. The third is to stay right behind him and then cover the opponent when he goes to the basket or takes a jump shot. Come on, I'll show you how to do it."

"Yes!"

The defensive technique that Subaru-niichan had given himself a few days ago came to mind, and Chihuahua was still thinking but her body had already made a move. As Takenaka circled around himself, he took a hand first step around Takenaka's back, and an outstretched hand shot at Takenaka's right hand.

"Pah!"

Takenaka is still in the same position he was in earlier, but the basketball is already out of his hands. The ball shifted and Chihuahua held the ball straight to the men's basketball club.

"Ally!"

In a hurry, the defending team comes to complement Ally, and Ji Hana passes the ball directly to Ally. Ellie receives the ball and scores again. The current score was 4-0.

"WOW!!!"

The girl's basketball club scored again causing the girls to scream, so that the girl's basketball club was already leading by 4 points, and the form was great.

"Awesome, actually scoring 4 points first, Subaru, there you go." Who would have thought that the weak and hopelessly small women's basketball club would still be able to make a 4-0 start?

"Speaking of which, Subaru, Ellie is clearly more active than ever, what exactly have you been doing this past short week?"

"Haha, Miisei-san, I call this the right medicine." Subaru puffed out his chest proudly and gave himself a strong medicine in order to make Ally play better.

Ten minutes ago, in the gym's lounge.

"Everyone, the match is about to start, so I'll now assign everyone's place."

The lorries lined up in a line, heads held high, and listened intently to Subaru's words.

"Point guard, Saiki."

"Point guard, Hyuga-san."

"Big forward, Makifumi."

"Small forward...Ally!"

"HEY?!!!" , Ellie's face showed obvious surprise, "Me, little forward?"

"Finally, center forward, Chihuahua." , After the position was read out, Subaru looked at Ally and said seriously, "Yes, it's small forward, originally this position was Chihika's, but I was impressed with Ally's hard practice these past few days, so I'll let you have this position."

"Small forward..."

"Yeah, it's the smallest, but to take care of Chihika's feelings, if you don't perform well Ally, I'll swap you two back and you'll become the center."

"Medium, medium?!" , Ellie squeezed her hand tightly, as if she was trying to hold onto the small forward position.

"Right, I forgot to mention that the center forward has another alias, Big man."

"B, Big man?!!!" , Ellie's face darkened, and all that came to mind was that she had become a giant, the tall buildings were not yet up to her waist height, and she was sitting on her knees, with helicopters everywhere shooting herself as a giant.

"Subaru-san, please teach me what I should do! As a small striker!"

Ellie's eyes were determined, as if she was fighting not only for the women's basketball club at this moment, but for her small forward position as well.

"So, Ellie's a small forward position, but she's doing the job of a center gig?" , and after listening to Subaru's story, Miisei probably understood Subaru's intentions for doing so.

"Yes, I'm sorry Ally, but let's wait until we win the match before explaining and apologizing to her.", Subaru chuckled a bit. , Subaru chuckled a few times, his gaze falling on the one who, despite being encircled by the two, still plucked up the courage not to back down.
