Multiverse: SSS-Rank Treasure Chest at the Beginning

Tenya asked, "You aren't asleep? Do you want to sleep with me?"

Utaha scoffed, "What kind of daydream are you having? If you're not asleep, get up and take a walk with me."

Tenya stretched and said, "You really know how to order people around, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"Oh, my~"

"Having a midnight rendezvous with a senior who's a school beauty, don't you feel your heart pounding?"

Utaha said with a slight curl of her red lips, teasingly.

"Have you hit a bottleneck in your plot design and want to find me for inspiration?"

Tenya hit the nail on the head.

"Yoshida-kun, has no one ever told you that sometimes you're completely devoid of romance?"

Utaha rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.

The two walked out of the hotel, walkikg side-by-side on the street.

Looking at the brightly lit town, Utaha suddenly lost interest in continuing to walk.

"What's wrong, Kasumigaoka-senpai?" Tenya asked curiously.

"That's not right. This scene doesn't fit the setting for the male and female leads in the plot."

Utaha looked up and gazed towards the mountain, but at this time, the cable car had long stopped operating.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, the scene you're describing, it couldn't be on the mountain, could it?"

"For example, at the summit, the male and female leads snuggling together, overlooking the city's night view or something..."

Tenya said casually.

"What? Aren't you quite romantic, Yoshida-kun?"

Utaha smiled, then thought of something and joked, "Don't you possess all sorts of miraculous powers? Can you take me to the mountaintop... Wait, what are you doing!?"

Before her words were finished, she saw the other party bend down and scoop up her legs, followed by a sense of weightlessness.

Hirenkyaku.

Tenya held Utaha in a princess carry, light spots flickering at his feet, stepping on the Hollow and flying towards the mountain.

"Something this simple, you should have said earlier."

Tenya spoke casually, for him, flying in the sky and walking on the ground were essentially no different.

"My perspective was too narrow..."

Utaha stared blankly at the suspension beneath her feet, getting further and further away from the ground.

The evening breeze ruffled her long hair, blending with the night sky.

She quietly watched Tenya's face, which appeared deep and handsome in the moonlight's reflection.

Her heart pounded uncontrollably.

"We've arrived, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

The two arrived at the observation deck at the summit.

The night view of Mount Hakodate can be considered a major scenic spot in Hokkaido.

Standing on the quiet and dark mountaintop, overlooking the brightly lit city, gives a sense of tranquility as if in another world.

Utaha gazed ahead, her thoughts drifting into the distance.

Tenya sat silently to the side, he knew Utaha was brewing inspiration for writing and did not disturb her train of thought.

"Hold me." Utaha suddenly spoke.

With such a good opportunity, Tenya didn't hesitate for a second. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, his breath exhaling on the back of her ear.

It tickles...

Utaha's delicate body trembled, feeling the back of her ear burning.

"That's not right..."

"Again."

"Facing the request of the female lead, the male lead should be inwardly conflicted and hesitant."

Utaha explained the plot arrangement, feigning composure.

"Oh."

"Then I'll start over."

Tenya released Utaha upon hearing this, paused for a few seconds, and then hugged her tightly again.

"Mmm-hmm~"

"You... where are you touching with your hand?!"

Feeling the large bulge in front of her being pressed, Utaha turned her head back, glaring at him with a flustered expression.

"A clumsy male lead accidentally touching the female lead's chest."

"Isn't this a common scene in games?"

Tenya's explanation was well-reasoned, leaving Utaha speechless for a moment.

"Using the plot as an excuse to brazenly touch the senior's chest..."

"You really are shameless, Yoshida-kun!"

Utaha said.

"Not at all, I'm clearly being very serious." Tenya began practicing the Rasengan.

"Mmm-hmm~ You... your technique is too practiced."

Utaha let out a coquettish sound, a ripple of spring water appearing in her eyes.

Her hand symbolically pushed him away, appearing to be both accepting and resisting.

"Sorry, then I'll be a bit awkward."

"Idiot... Are you kneading dough?!"

"Oh, then I'll be lighter."

"Are you tickling me?"

The practice of the Rasengan lasted for half an hour.

"Huhu huhu~"

Utaha's breathing was rapid, her body lay limply on the ground, her eyes in a dazed state.

"Continue, the next step..."

Utaha's voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

"There's no next step, is there? I remember the game we're making is the all-ages version."

Tenya said with a serious face.

"We can create a hidden easter egg..." Utaha subtly hinted.

"I'm afraid the game will be banned." Tenya pretended to hesitate.

"Then it depends on the male protagonist's driving skills." Utaha reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him closer.

Only at 3 in the night did the two descend the mountain and return to the hotel.

Tenya carefully carried Utaha back to her room.

His gaze swept around and found that as her roommate in the same room, Eriri was lying on the tatami sound asleep, completely unaware of Utaha's departure.

With such a good opportunity, how could you sleep?

As expected, she's the golden-haired losing dog!

Utaha glanced at her contemptuously.

"Yoshida..."

"Tenya-kun, good night."

Utaha looked at him with gentle eyes, changing her address inadvertently.

"Utaha, good night." Tenya also naturally changed his address.

He turned and left the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the room, he saw someone in the lobby pouring water to drink.

"Good night, Tenya-kun."

"Megumi, who says good night in the middle of the night?" Tenya said seriously.

"Yes, what decent person comes out of a girl's room in the middle of the night?"

Megumi's voice was as calm as ever, only her eyes were inexplicably sharp.

"I was just seeing Utaha back to her room." Tenya told the truth, although he only said half of it.

"Utaha..."
