Facing the questions thrown by Shiyu, everyone looked at each other, and then each expressed his or her own thoughts.

Megumi: "Hey~~~? Even if you ask that, Kasumigaoka-senpai... Generally speaking, once you start dating someone, you should treat each other wholeheartedly. Playfulness is not allowed, right?"

Hasumi Kanoko: "Well... I can understand your mood, Kato-san. Normally, it should be like this. However, sometimes you fall in love with the same person, right?"

"Hey, Hasumi-sensei...?"

"What's wrong? Kato-san."

"...No, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised that you would say that."

"Ahaha, did I say something strange?" Hasumi Kanoko asked in a natural tone, with just the right amount of confusion on her face.

Hui nodded first, then shook his head.

"Well... just like Hasumi-sensei said, although I don't deny that such a thing will happen, it must be dealt with before we start dating, right?"

"So you want to say that if the person you like chooses someone else, you have to give up your own feelings?"

"Well~~This statement may be a bit absolute, but is it common sense?"

"Then, if there is a reason why you can't give up no matter what, what do you think you should do, Kato-san?"

"I can't give up no matter what..."

"That's right~"

Hasumi Kanoko smiled slightly and said in a casual tone:

"I read a sentence in a book, "People are like rainbows, and when you meet someone, you know there is someone else." When we encounter something that we absolutely cannot give in to, we can't let it go easily, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Hui couldn't help but be silent for a while, "Well... I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what Hasumi-sensei means."

"It's not that complicated..."

Seeing that the smile on Kanoko's face did not diminish, Lian glanced at Shiyu seemingly casually, and then said:

"I don't mean anything by saying this, but at my age I no longer force myself to please others, I just want to be with people I feel comfortable with. In this sense, I think if everyone can be happy,

good."

Her tone is gentle and considerate, which makes people feel close to her unconsciously.

However, the master's mood at this time was very complicated.

As a former teacher, now I am passing on some selfish thoughts to the students I have taught...

This made Kanoko Hasumi feel very ashamed, and felt that what she had done was a bit despicable, and she blamed herself in her heart.

but--

She couldn't just watch the one she loved get into trouble and do nothing.

Whether it was Shiyu who accepted her, or Eirili and Hui - she couldn't bear to see anyone get hurt.

Therefore, if it is to make our relationship last forever, she is willing to be a bad person.

Perhaps hearing some subtext in her words, Hui's expression changed slightly, and she glanced around unconsciously.

Kato Yusuke was staring down at the table, as if thinking about some kind of philosophy of life.

Shiyu crossed his arms with a cold expression and said nothing.

Yinglili didn't seem to understand the situation, looking around in confusion.

As for An Yilun... don't mention it.

Hui pursed her lips slightly, then looked directly at her former teacher.

"……that."

She slowly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hasumi. What you just said is a bit complicated for me. I still can't understand it... I'm sorry."

Although she knew that this would put her on the opposite side of everyone, she still revealed that she had no intention of compromising.

Shiyu next to her glanced at her and sneered.

Hasumi Kanoko gently lowered her eyes and said softly: "It's okay, Kato-san. I just said it casually, so you don't need to pay too much attention."

"——I said, everyone."

An Yilun also scratched his hair and asked suspiciously: "Are you discussing games now? Or are you talking about something else...?"

Although he couldn't hear some subtext, he could still feel that there was some change in the atmosphere at this time.

Yinglili also feels the same way.

She looked at the faces of Hasumi Kanoko and Kei repeatedly, and vaguely felt that they seemed to be talking about something very important, but she was too slow to get the point.

This made her feel very anxious.

In order not to let this annoying situation continue, she spoke impatiently.

"As for the ending of the harem that Renya just mentioned, the so-called otakus are the existences with disgusting fantasies!

However, his intuition in this regard has always been very accurate, and if it can make our games sell well, I don’t think we can’t consider his suggestions.”

"Yinglili...you guy..."

An Yilun also showed an excited expression after hearing this. He couldn't help but want to express his gratitude, but was rudely interrupted by Shi Yu.

"So now one person, Kato-san, objects, and the three agree. So, Yuu-chan, what are you going to do?"

She turned her attention to the young man in the main seat and asked: "Should we agree to the ethical classmate's wish to increase the harem route, or should we keep it as it is?"

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on one person.

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"No, "Clannad" can stay as it is now. I don't plan to add any routes."

In the end, he rejected the harem route.

This is not to target anyone, but the response of "Clannad" in its previous life was already very good, and there is no need to add any superfluous changes.

Although what An Yilun also said has some truth, maybe some players do like that kind of harem ending... but this game itself is not a otaku-friendly work!

Out of such considerations, he decisively refused.

However, An Yilun could not understand such an idea.

Not only could he not understand, he even felt that he was being targeted and couldn't help but ask questions emotionally.

"Wait a minute, Kato! Why are you so arbitrary? This is obviously a good suggestion, right? And everyone agrees! How can you refuse so casually?"

The tough tone made Kato Yusuke frown, but he still patiently explained:

"You are overthinking. I made the decision after careful consideration. Besides, the outline is already very compact and there is no room for adding more content."

"——Then rethink it!"

An Yilun couldn't help but express: "Whether we want to add a new description of the first half, a plot in the middle, or a plot line in the second half...it's not too late to start work from now on, right?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Kato Yusuke frowned and said in a deep voice: "Starting from now on, do you understand how much work it is?"

"If anything, striving for perfection is the spirit a creator should have! As long as it can make the game more interesting and the work better, no matter how difficult it is, we must do it! This is a producer worthy of respect—

—!"

"According to your statement, is it necessary to delay or even postpone the entire work just to add a branch plot with unknown prospects?"

"In order to meet the expectations of more players, I think this is a necessary sacrifice! What's more, adding a plot is not that complicated. Just remove and cut off some impurities, right?"

"Remove some impurities...?"

Kato Yusuke almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Then tell me, what are the impurities in the current outline that you think are impurities?"

"——"

An Yilun was also paused by the question and started thinking reflexively.

Haruhara Hinata, Furukawa and his wife, Okazaki Naoyuki...

He went through various protagonists and supporting characters in his head, but he couldn't find a character that could be called "impurity".

The existence of almost every character has its own meaning, making the whole work more complete.

Having said that…

He smacked his lips vigorously but still refused to give in.

"Kato, you don't need to use these excuses to deal with me, I know what's going on in your mind!"

"I'm perfunctory with you...?"

"Ah, that's right——!"

Ignoring Kato Yusuke's surprised look, An Yilun continued talking.
