It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Unlike Kitagawa Kaimu, Kasumigaoka Utaha, although in the same grade as him, had an overwhelmingly strong upperclassman aura.

And then that mature woman's voice, looking at him with that girlish, pleading expression, wasn't exactly disgusting, but it was really weird.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

That's what Iura Hide was going to say.

Although his senior was nice, as someone who already had a girlfriend, he felt it was best not to get involved with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But then Machida Sonoko, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up: "Utaha and Luffy-sensei are both high school students. They can communicate with each other more often. This will definitely help improve each other's writing skills."

""

Now, Iura Hideki clearly had no way to refuse.

Although Machida Sonoko was not his editor, she was Kagurazaka Ayame's senior, and he really didn't need to offend her over such a small matter.

"of course can."

Iura Hide's tone didn't sound wrong, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been observing him, keenly noticed a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

This left her, who had been secretly pleased with herself, completely stunned.

What's going on? This stunningly beautiful and sexy woman took the initiative to ask Iura Hide to exchange contact information, and Iura Hide was actually unwilling!?

This is the first time she's ever taken the initiative to exchange contact information with a guy!

Countless boys have asked her for their contact information since she was a child, but she never gave it to them!

When Kasumigaoka Utaha came to her senses, her fists clenched, and her previously feigned pitiful look turned somewhat dangerous.

Unfortunately, Hideki Iura was looking down at his phone and didn't notice this.

When he looked up, Kasumigaoka Utaha had instantly changed her expression, wearing a sweet smile.

"Is this really Kasumigaoka Utaha? Could it be because of the crossover anime world that even the setting has been changed?"

Iura Hide was jolted awake, the thought popping into his head involuntarily, and he quickly exchanged contact information with her.

"Then I'll be going now!" Iura Hide said again.

However, his appearance, as if he were in a hurry to be reincarnated, immediately made Kasumigaoka Utaha harden her fist again, which she had just loosened.

"hateful!"

Am I really that ugly?

"Are you really that unwilling to talk to me a little more?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka, who can easily turn Eriri into a meme with just a few words, was angered by a boy for the first time, and for the first time in her life, she began to doubt her own looks and figure.

But at this point, besides forcing a sweet smile and saying 'goodbye' to Iura Hide, it seems like there's nothing else she can do.

Thinking about this made Kasumigaoka Utaha even angrier.

However, just as she was about to speak, Machida Sonoko behind her suddenly gave her a pleasant surprise.

"Shiyu, you should go back first. We can discuss the rest of the issues next time. There are a few places I also need to take another look at."

Then Machida Sonoko turned to look at Iura Hide.

"Did Luffy-sensei come by subway with Utaha?"

"Uh, yes."

Hideki Iura has realized something is wrong, but there's nothing he can do to change it.

"That's great! You can go back together then. It's rush hour, so it'll be crowded. Last time, Shiyu almost got attacked on the subway while taking it home alone, so Luffy-sensei, please take good care of our Shiyu!"

When Iura Hide heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Let me protect Kasumigaoka Utaha?"

"That sounds rather strange."

"Could this guy be trying to set me up with Kasumigaoka Utaha?"

He quickly dismissed the idea as soon as it popped into his head.

"No, no, I must be overthinking it. After all, she doesn't even know if I have a girlfriend."

"She probably just hopes that I can communicate more with Kasumigaoka Utaha and help her improve her writing skills, right?"

"Yes, that should be it."

"After all, in the original story, Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually perfected the story of 'Love Metronome' through constant exchanges and discussions with Aki Tomoya, a die-hard fan."

"When she first started writing, her writing seemed pretty average."

Iura Hide quickly came up with a reasonable explanation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he turned his head and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's quiet, dignified face, which also revealed a hint of allure, his originally firm Dao heart couldn't help but waver slightly.

However, he immediately took a deep breath and quickly stopped his wild thoughts.

"Then, senior, Kasumigaoka-san, let's go."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly ran back to pack her schoolbag. For some reason, her anger and depression suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she felt inexplicably happy.

Chapter 75 Freebie from the Senior Girl vs. The Straight-Through Guy

However, her happiness didn't last long. Soon, she couldn't help but clench her fists again, feeling like she wanted to hit someone.

"Iura-kun, what kind of light novels do you usually like to read?"

"I don't usually read light novels."

"Huh? Don't you usually read light novels?"

"Yes, I usually only watch anime."

"So why did you suddenly want to write light novels?"

“To make money.”

""

Inside the speeding train carriage, Iura Hide skillfully displayed his straight-man nature, unsurprisingly killing the conversation with just a few words.

Although there weren't many empty seats in the carriage, it wasn't particularly crowded either, since it was only 5:30. So, what Machida Sonoko said was just to fool him, and Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't need him to protect her at all.

"What's your favorite anime, Iura-kun?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha suppressed the urge to bite Iura Hide to death, and tried her best to maintain a smile on her face as she continued to ask.

However, Hideaki Iura's performance remained consistently strong.

"I don't have a favorite, nor do I have a particular favorite."

That's right, Iura Hideki answered all the questions first this time!

"Cough-cough-"

Kasumigaoka Utaha almost choked on her saliva. The astonishingly large mountain shook violently, and well marks even appeared on her forehead.

However, she immediately guessed that Iura Hide was doing it on purpose.

After all, if Iura Hide was really such a straight man, how could he have written a romance novel that amazed Kagurazaka Ayame?

So, just like an argument, Iura Hide's deliberate display of his "straight man" attitude only fueled her fighting spirit.

"So, what anime has Iura-kun watched recently?" Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and continued to ask.

Iura Hide had been watching her reaction out of the corner of his eye. Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he roughly guessed what she was thinking.

"I won't tell you," was what he originally wanted to say, but considering that saying it would either infuriate Kasumigaoka Utaha or further fuel her fighting spirit, he hesitated for a moment and changed his mind.

"The second generation of the shameless miracle life of the young lady from the Slippery Girls' Academy in the CR Club—"

"what!?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

However, Iura Hide was stunned when he saw her expression.

First of all, Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction was a bit too fast. He had barely finished saying "Holy sticky sticky" when Kasumigaoka Utaha already showed a surprised expression.

What does this mean? It means that Kasumigaoka Utaha knows this name!

Then, when Kasumigaoka Utaha heard this name, her eyes didn't show any disgust or loathing at seeing a pervert. Instead, a faint light of excitement shone through.

Now it was Iura Hide's turn to be stunned.

Although he knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha from the original story often said surprising things and would say things that made Aki Tomoya blush.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly calmed down.

Although the blush on her face had not yet faded, she still tried her best to put on a stern face and let out a cold snort.

"What's wrong? I've seen this anime, is that a problem?"

""

Hideaki Iura really didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha was the same. She looked very strong, but in reality, she was all bark and no bite. Her heart was pounding with embarrassment and shame.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

The pointless Q&A session between the "freebie senior" and the "straight man" has finally come to an end.

Iura Hide couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just then, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, and his expression changed drastically. His right hand, which was about to take out his phone to watch videos to pass the time, suddenly shot out and used a grappling technique to grab the groping hand that was about to reach under Kasumigaoka Utaha's skirt.

Kasumigaoka Utaha kept her head down, but she was actually secretly glancing at Iura Hide out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing his sudden change in expression, she couldn't help but look puzzled.

But then she knew what had happened.

"what are you doing!?"
