[Congratulations, you have received "Comestic Mastery."]
"...."
While Ishigami was speechless by the reward that he gained, it was a good reward regardless, but then again, when he thought about all the rewards that he gained, especially from those side heroines... he felt like everything was gained, so he could get a lot of money.
Yet, this was good, he thought, since everything was realistic, and even if the heroines in this world might appear that they weren't realistic, it wasn't the case at all. Instead, it was because they lived a wealthy life that their standard was probably even higher than those of a normal heroine that appeared in most harem comedy stories.
With his appearance, it was possible for him to become a household-husband, but as expected, it was hard for him to imagine himself living under the care of his women.
Some men might love to live such a life, but he wasn't one of them.
Still, if he didn't have the system or his family, he would definitely live as a civil servant, but then again, while he didn't disdain such a choice, his feeling and their feelings would probably change.
Being a worker meant that he didn't have control over his time, and his salary was also limited. More importantly, along with all of the problems and necessary sacrifices, so he could be promoted and win the chicken race against his coworkers, he had to lick the buttocks of his superiors, stay out late at night etc., etc.
Fortunately, everything moved in a good direction, yet he had to say when he appeared in his suit and combed his hair, he could feel many eyes on him, especially from the women who helped him as volunteers for this meeting.
However, his focus wasn't on the women or those women who clearly showed their interest in him; instead, he was dumbfounded when he saw Shirogane was with another girl.
Not Kaguya, but someone else.
Ishigami hadn't seen this girl, but as expected, she was also a heroine, but his focus was on how the exchange between Shirogane and this girl. While the heroine appeared gloomy and Shirogane appeared helpless, he could see that they appeared so close, like they were more than a normal friend.
Still, as he thought about checking the situation of Kaguya, who stood and talked with Chika, his women couldn't help but reach out to him.
"...now, I understand why you don't let us see you in the suit," Onodera, his official girlfriend, murmured as she looked at the appearance of her boyfriend in a sharp black suit.
Probably because it was a little hot, Ishigami didn't wear a suit, leaving him only with a vest and rolled sleeves, which showed how robust and manly his figure was despite appearing rather slim in his suit.
"Geez, if you roll up your sleeves, it will get messy, right? Let me help you."
Tsubame reached his arms, which were firm and thick, rubbing them softly with her palms as she bit her lower lip, looking up at him with a gaze that filled with a certain intention. "...Yuu, don't take them off later."
"...." Ishigami.
Just when Tsubame kept rubbing his arms softly, Shizuku Asahi and Yume Atenbo quickly pulled her away.
"Stop with your lewd gaze!"
"He is about to do something so serious! Don't tempt him!"
"I am not! I am just helping him! Also, she is my man, so it's fine, right?"
"It's not fine!" 2x
As the three argued, considering how Shizuku and Yume were jealous of Tsubame, who was about to be held by Ishigami after the performance, they also couldn't help but gaze at him.
Despite knowing that he was a scumbag, they were like moths that were attracted by the brightness of the fire. Even if they knew that they would be burnt, they felt like... everything should be okay.
A suit.
This might seem like normal clothing, but this was the best armor and clothes that man should have.
Wearing a suit for a man in the eyes of a woman was like how a woman in undergarments in the eyes of a man.
In conclusion, it was attractive.
Still, the suit had to be sharp, clean, well-fitted, or simply suitable since if one didn't do so, then no matter what they wore, they would appear a clown.
Regardless, Ishigami had almost made all of the female creatures, and some... to feel heat on their lower bodies.
"Yuu, let's go to my home later."
Still, Iino was more straightforward and directly invited Ishigami, or rather, she almost stuck her little nose in his back, seemingly addicted to his scent, body shape, and appearance.
If this hadn't been in public, Iino would have already pushed him to the ground.
"I will stay at your house later." Kobachi was also straightforward, which made Ishigami sigh inwardly.
Similarly, Karen stayed with her three best friends, who also decided to become volunteers for the preparation and the meeting with the sister school from Paris. Frankly, she also wanted to join, but it was hard to do that when Maki Shijo, Nagisa Kawashagi, and Erika Kose.
If Karen was being honest, she wouldn't have felt embarrassed, but it was hard to explain her relationship, especially when she knew well how improper her relationship with Ishigami was.
Yet, what she didn't know was that her thought was simply ignored since the three kept staring at him in a daze.
"Look, he is the most popular," Hayasaka said as she stood next to Kaguya and Chika.
"No, look at those women around him. If we aren't in public, I can tell that they will leap like a leopard on him!" Chika was speechless since even if she had become the most beautiful jewelry, especially after she wore the dress for a performance, it was nothing compared to the impact given by Ishigami, who wore his suit.
Probably, at this moment, everyone was in their ovulation period and wished to be impregnated after they saw him since Ishigami had become the most handsome guy on the Shounen Jump after he gained a reward from Kobachi in the past.
"If he performs in front of all of them..."
Whether it was Chika, Hayasaka, or Kaguya, I thought that Ishigami would definitely cause many couples to break up after this!
"...stop talking stupid things. You should prepare. It is almost time, right?" Kaguya quickly threw away her stupid thoughts and reminded Chika to prepare since the time for the performance would start soon.
"Okay, okay~!"
This was the time that Chika had been waiting for, so she quickly came to Ishigami's side and pulled him away so the two could be ready, which caused many to sigh.
Watching this, Kaguya sighed helplessly. "What a scumbag." At the same time, she also turned and looked at Hayasaka with a bit of disdain. "You are such an easy girl to fall for him."
"...."
Hayasaka was speechless, then murmured annoyedly. "Say, someone who held his erection at that time...?"
"Did you say something, Hayasaka?"
"Nothing!"
Regardless, even if they were no longer a mistress and her maid, their relationship was still as close as ever. Instead, it was because they no longer had such a status between them; they could be more open to each other, yet while Hayasaka was free, Kaguya turned her gaze to the one that attracted attention and buried everything that had bloomed since she knew well that... it was impossible for them to be together any longer after this.
However, Ishigami, who talked with Chika and was about to go to the stage, was approached by Shirogane as his back was patted.
"Do your best, Ishigami!"
Watching Shirogane, who showed a bright and sincere smile, Ishigami could see this smile was sincere and this was also the reason why a certain doubt was born in his heart, but when he was about to ask—
"Kaichou—"
"Yuu, come on!"
His opened lips stagnated, which made Shirogane confused. "We can talk later. You should go up first."
"...okay."
Suppressing the uneasy feeling in his heart, Ishigami decided to put this issue aside and focused on his performance since, at this moment, many waited to see his change from that loser who was isolated and stigmatized into the brightest person in this place.
Looking at his partner, Chika, Ishigami smiled. She also smiled, standing close together on the stage, and the two started their performance.

"I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
It is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you."
Still, as Ishigami sang, he realized this conclusion might be different from what he wished to be.
