Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

Ending the conversation slightly awkwardly, Subaru also silently lowered his head. As a result, in the next instant after Subaru lowered his head, that unnatural feeling returned....

"Miss Ercoyah...if there's anything you need to say, just say it..."

"No, not at all." , Ekoya continued to play dumb.

Are you sure... Subaru drops his eyes and watches as Ekoya keeps holding his chopsticks inside his cup - is this an attempt to get his juice up.

Staring-.

Subaruichi lowered his head and with a subconscious afterglow, Ekoya was indeed staring at him again.

"Ahem, Ekoya, just say whatever you have to say, I won't mind."

"So." , hearing that Ercoya put her chopsticks down. "Actually, Fafner and I came here today, mainly for you, Subaru-kun."

"Hey?"

"Don't be surprised oh, after all, Fafner and I would like to meet who could be so smitten by the kind and somewhat lonely Thor."

"Ahaha, well..."

"Ercoyah!" Although what Ercoyah said was true, it still made Tor very shy for Ercoyah to reveal Tor's feelings so openly.

Hey - this is, is that what the parent group meant? Subaru was stunned.

"But, after initial observation, I think-", Ekoya deliberately paused and waited until Subaru looked curious before continuing, "I think you're a good person. "

"...Thanks." , Although praised, Subaru was somehow unhappy.

"So, it should be a good idea to entrust Tor to you. Tor has been fighting for the dragons, we've been watching but we can't interfere, and Tor should be tired, so it's time for a good rest. If it's you, I'm sure you can make Thor happy."

Subaru didn't answer, he just subconsciously looked at Tor, who was smiling at him, and Subaru followed with a smile, and what they both wanted to say was conveyed clearly in that smile.

"Well, that's all I have to say." , Ekoya clapped his hands. "So, if Thor is going to have a baby dragon someday, please make sure to let me know oh, I have to be present for such a historic moment!"

"Cough cough cough...", Subaru had just taken a bite of food and instantly choked on it, coughing a few times before grabbing a random glass of water and gulping it down.

"Ah... my juice...", Lotte looked at the instantly empty glass and deflated her mouth in aggravation.

"Ercoya! Stop talking nonsense ah...really!" , that said, but it seemed like Subaru's tone had no intention of stopping Ercoya at all.

With all the meaningful looks from Ercoyah, Subaru managed to scalp his way through the long lunch, and Fafner and Ercoyah said they would be leaving.

Subaru breathed a sigh of complete relief after sending the two of them out the door. The parent group and all, it really couldn't hurt....

"Ehehehe... That's great, Subaru, Ekoya and the others have approved of us!" , as soon as they left, Thor grabbed Subaru's arm and said happily.

Subaru gave Tor a sidelong glance, "So, you already knew what they were up to?"

"Ehehehe...", Thor stuck out his tongue mischievously. "Because there's nothing I can do to stop them... You'd have been mad if I'd told you earlier."

"And I wouldn't be mad if you told me later?" , Subaru flicked Thor's head in amusement.

"Well...", Thor put his finger to his lips for a moment to think, and then suddenly spat his tongue at Subaru, turned around and slipped straight into the kitchen to clean up.

Kids? Subaru laughed and shook his head, and was about to help clean up when the bell suddenly rang.

"Hello? Mr. Editor, have you called me now with news about this aspect of the company?"

"Subaru- I'd say you're not only a genius, but you're also such a fucking lucky guy." , Kenjiro made a rare outburst, it was evident how depressed he was inside.

"What's wrong." , Subaru said with a smile. "It can't be that it just so happens that an animation company is on the verge of closing down and desperately needs someone to buy them out, come on, such a cliche scenario-"

"That's right."

"...Hey?"

"It just so happens that an animation company recently faced bankruptcy due to financial problems, and here's your chance, damned lucky bastard."

Chapter 178: First Arrival at the Eirin Animation Company

The next day.

"I say Tor, can you hurry up...I'm going to be late if I keep changing like that." , Subaru asked helplessly as he reached for another set of clothes handed over by Tor.

"Come on, come on, finish trying on this set again." , Tor kept his hands moving, still trying to recall the fashion magazines he had read, trying to find a few outfits suitable for an important meeting from Subaru's taste.

However, Tor had clearly overestimated Subaru's taste in clothes....

Huh? Clothes should look good on you and be comfortable... Yes, that was Subaru's usual style.

However, trying it on and on, in the end, Subaru picked the first clothes Subaru wore, jeans and a t-shirt, although it was very unsuitable as clothing for a meeting as serious as discussing the company's acquisition, but it was better than wearing big pants and a block vest you say right?

"So what's the point of picking something so long ago...", Subaru pontificated.

"It's not like any of the clothes Subaru bought don't fit yet, can you blame me for that?" , Thor pouted disgruntledly.

"Okay, okay, I've got to get going, I can't be late for something like this."

"Wait." , Thor thought for a moment and called out to Subaru who was about to go out. "By the way, that acquisition company you're talking about, I think it's going to buy something, does Subaru have enough money?"

"Money, ah-", Subaru considered. "It should be enough, I think Editor-san should have considered my financial situation before introducing that company to me."

"Oh... But, if it's not enough, Subaru can come to me, from what Fafner said, gold seems to be quite valuable in this world, and anyway, Fafner said he couldn't stuff his entire cave with gold, so I'll just bring some over when the time comes."

"Haha, thank you then, Tor." , Subaru smiled and touched Thor's head. "Okay, okay, I have to go, or I really should be late."

Hurry up and get dressed - with Tor out of course, though the latter was reluctantly. Subaru made his way hotly to the appointed spot, where Kenjiro was already waiting, and as the go-between, Kenjiro flatly agreed to Subaru's need for help.

"Yo - Big Boss, you're really nonchalant, I've been waiting for you here for about an hour now." , seeing Subaru running over, Kenjiro poked his head out from the driver's seat to tease.

"Look, look at me like this-", Subaru pointed to himself, halfway out of breath. "Look at me like this, do I look like I'm not panicking?!"

"Haha, get in the car, there's not much time left before the appointed time, so if we leave now we should be able to make it just in time."

"Good."

An hour or so later, Kenjiro and Subaru appeared in front of a building - but it was nowhere near as imposing as the Dengeki Bunko.

"Is this the place?" , Subaru took a closer look at the company, and from the looks of it, Subaru didn't think it was too bad, but wondered why it had gotten mixed up in a serious financial crisis.

"Go in." , Kenjiro greeted, taking the lead and walking in.

Walking up to the front desk, the staff member who was supposed to greet every person who came inside the company with full spirit was now actually dozing off.

Kenjiro banged on the desk in an attempt to wake her up, but the front desk clerk seemed to have become so addicted to fishing that she couldn't help herself, and she still showed no signs of waking up even though Kenjiro had knocked his hand red.

"...Hello, can you hear me?!" , helplessly, Kenjiro had no choice but to just push her shoulder, the latter shook like a startled cat and stared at Kenjiro with one pair of eyes, instead, Kenjiro was shocked, and Subaru, who saw the situation from behind, covered his mouth and laughed.

"Truly, truly very sorry!" , the front desk clerk stammered an apology. "Hello, sir. Welcome to Painted Spirit, what can I do for you two?"

It was a bit offline, but the dozing clerk lady was doing a good job with her own manners... Kenjiro nodded under his breath and smiled, "Hello, my name is Tsuki Kenjiro, I have an appointment with the president at 10:00 sharp."

"Just a moment-", the clerk lady said looking over the documents. "Ah, hello Toki-san, the president is in his office right now, you can just go to him directly."

"Thank you." , Kenjiro nodded politely and gave Subaru a look. The two were already on the elevator that rose to the 5th floor.

"I think I can probably guess why this company is in this state." , in the elevator, Subaru cupped his chin and guessed.

"Hmm? Is it because of that front desk?"

"Yes, as much as I don't know these things about companies, I know that the front desk is at least symbolic of a company's ethos, like the front desk at the Electric Shock Library has always done well, but this..."

"Well...I can't blame them for that." , Kenjiro tilted his head, as if he was thinking about something. "After all, this company has been in recession for a long time, basically no one comes to visit this company, like a dying old man, it's no wonder that the staff is not energetic either."

Subaru nodded and suddenly thought of something and asked Kenjiro, "Speaking of which, did this company also apply to Dengeki Bunko for the rights to animate Haruhi?"

"Applied." , Kenjiro nodded. "It's just that...you know, with all the competition from other big companies, there's no place for these small companies unless you're willing to go all out, but they're bosses, not gamblers."

Subaru's hand rested on his chin, thoughtful. It wasn't long before the ding of the elevator arriving interrupted Subaru's thoughts.

"Let's go." , Kenjirou walked with Subaru to the president's office, Kenjirou had already visited once before, so it seemed like a breeze.

"Hello, President." , After knocking on the door and entering, Kenjiro greeted the president.

"Hello, Toki-san." , The president nodded, then focused his attention on Subaru, suddenly frowning and hinting at something unpleasant. "You're not going to tell me that this is the person you said you wanted to talk to about the company's acquisition, are you, Toki-san, even though our company is in a recession, you don't think I'm still in the mood for jokes like that, do you?!"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood, President, how could I just joke about something so important." , Kenjiro motioned for the president to calm down. "The one next to me, if you say the name, you should be familiar with it-"

Receiving a gesture from Kenjirou's eyes, Subaru took a step forward and bowed slightly, introducing himself, "Hello, President, my name is Subaru Hasegawa, I'm a light novel writer, and my pen name is Sakamoto, please let me know."

"Sakamoto?" , the president stood straight up and stared at Subaru. "The author of Spring Things, Sakamoto?"

"Yes."

"So it's you." , the president sat back down again with a somewhat lonely expression. "If it's you, you might actually have the financial resources to buy our company."

After a pause, the president drained the tea on the table and led the way out of the office.

"Come with me, let's talk about the details of the acquisition."

Chapter 179 Meeting.

Surprisingly, the meeting didn't last long, with one side willing to sell and the other willing to buy, and with Kenjiro, the middleman, on the sidelines to tweak the trade-offs, Subaru and the president quickly came to an agreement, and they made an appointment for the formal handover to take place in the afternoon.

"Please treat my former company well, and I hope it will flourish in your hands as well, please, President Hasegawa." , as he walked out of the room, the president - no, the former president - bowed to Subaru, and said with sincere words.

"Of course, I won't let it get buried." And Subaru bowed as well.

After that, a few people had lunch at the ex-president's gracious invitation, and then the ex-president quickly completed all the relevant procedures, and the two of them officially handed over, effective immediately.

"Haha, President Hasegawa, you've jumped into the presidency in one fell swoop." , in the car, Kenjiro teased. "Now it looks as if I'm the president's transfer driver, how about it, would President Hasegawa be interested in hiring me as a driver, I have a very low salary requirement."

Subaru smiled and said along with Kenjiro's words, "I wouldn't mind at all if Editor-san would leave his men's work to work as a driver for me, oh, of course if Editor-san can tolerate the ridiculously low salary I'm offering."

"Hahaha, then I'd rather be my editor honestly, at least it's still an equal relationship now, how boring would it be if I really had to call you president every time I met you as a driver,"

"Yeah, maybe I'll need Mr. Editor to serve me tea then."

After saying that, they laughed together as if they were close friends.

........-

The following day.

"Nah nah, I heard we have a new president?!"

"Yeah, yeah, there was already news that our company wasn't doing well, and then it was bought out."

"Does Emi know about this? After all, you're the front desk hey."

"Hey? Me? I don't know hey, only a few people came to the office yesterday, it seems like."

"Hee hee hee, Xiao Mei shouldn't be dozing off again, the last time she was told off by the president, she hasn't learned to remember-"

"No, no la!"

"Quiet! The president should be arriving soon." , the manager shouted in a low voice to the back.

At this time, at the manager's request, all the employees of Eirin Company were gathered at the front desk, ready to all welcome the new president who had suddenly popped up.

And at this time, our president-.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

It's screaming on the back of a dragon....

"Alright, Subaru, we're here." , Thor transformed into a human form and said to Subaru with a smile.

"No wait, let me slow down a bit." , Subaru leaned against the wall and smoothed out his breath, gradually calming down his violently beating heart. Each time it was like a roller coaster ride and Subaru felt like he was going to have a heart attack sooner or later if it continued like this.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yeah!"

After a few minutes of walking, Subaru and Thor appeared at the front door of Eirin.

"Here it comes! Is that the president?"

"Liar! The boss looks like a high school student! No, the president isn't a high school student, is he?!"

"Well - why, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before -"

"Stop arguing, that's the president." , the manager spoke again, the transfer of assets, as a manager, of course you should get to know the new president.

Pushing the door open, Subaru walked in with Tor, and within a few steps, all the people at the front desk greeted them, and a few others with little celebratory kind of confetti salutes, and for a while both Subaru and Tor's heads were covered with flowery colored notes.

"Ready-"

"More please, President!!!"
