I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

"Yes, yes, are you going to continue this childish arguing like a little kid? Sorry, I don't have the time to waste on pointless arguments with you. You write your light novel, I'll go take my Tokyo University entrance exam, goodbye!"

Aki Tomoya shook his head and said mockingly.

After saying that, he turned around gracefully, opened the rooftop door behind him, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha was so angry she almost stopped breathing!

"This, this, this, this..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, trembling with anger, stiffly twisted her arms, her pretty face now completely shrouded in a dark shadow.

The person who caused her all this trouble just walked away so nonchalantly; it's utterly shameless!

Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could even retaliate, Aki Tomoya had already left without a word. Compared to him, he felt like a clown.

Because this boy had suffered such a blow, and it was a complete and one-sided crushing defeat, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were filled with an extremely dark substance.

"An Yilun too!"

Gritting her teeth, she shouted Aki Tomoya's name. In Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart, Aki Tomoya had been completely marked with an X.

How incredibly unlucky must she be to have poured her heart into a guy like that?

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head back, gazing at the clear sky and taking deep breaths.

Don't bow your head. If you do, tears will stream down your face. It's not worth shedding tears for someone like that!

Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded herself of this.

And it was precisely at this moment that a sudden, intense inspiration surged into my mind!

Kasumigaoka Utaha had never experienced such intense inspiration before; the constant surge of inspiration clashed with the resentment and anger in her heart.

“Mmmmm!!!!”

She bit her delicate lips with her pearly teeth, and a suppressed sound was squeezed out from her throat.

Experiencing this excruciating pain, inspiration surged into her heart, cleansing Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart like a spring.

Is first love really this unforgettable? It's so different from what she had imagined and expected.

What Kasumigaoka Utaha received from Aki Tomoya was a slap that completely woke her from her past dreams.

It is such a mistake to still have expectations for Aki Tomoya.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been entangled in her feelings for Aki Tomoya both in the past and present, finally woke up from her fantasy.

What painful realization it must have taken to arrive at such a feeling. If she had a laptop, a sheet of paper, or a pen right now, she could write a complete novel.

Kasumigaoka Utaha forced back the tears from her tightly closed eyes, her long, delicate eyelashes trembling slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"What have I been doing...?"

After being cleansed, Kasumigaoka Utaha's pale cheeks had a sickly flush. Her body seemed to have been drained of all strength, making her look weak and listless. With a trace of depression and anger still lingering in her eyes, she chose to leave without hesitation.

The inspirations that emerged temporarily provided Kasumigaoka Utaha with a refuge.

"What you consider worthless, I will absolutely make demonstrate extraordinary value. There's plenty of time!"

A strong desire erupted in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

She doesn't need to care what those people think, nor does she need to prove anything. She just needs to be herself and continue on her path.

From now on, no matter when, I must maintain an elegant demeanor, and even in front of that person, I will not leave any flaws!

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that she was absolutely flawless at this moment, and even if Aki Tomoya appeared in front of her again, she would be able to face him with elegance.

She wouldn't get angry over someone like that; it's not worth it at all!

In Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind, she had already conceived a completely new work.

Youthful romance?

Of course, it's still the same theme, but unlike the new works I conceived before, everything has been completely overturned. Whether it's the male and female protagonists or the supporting characters around them, I, Kasumi Shiko, will wholeheartedly plan everything.

The male protagonist's character design, in particular, was crystal clear in Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind at that moment, and he was already beginning to take shape!

"Hehehe, hehehehe..."

In the classroom of Class 3-C, the low laughter of Kasumigaoka Utaha, accompanied by the sound of a pen scratching on paper, made the others huddle together in fear and stare at her.

"This is it!"

It's here! Inspiration is flowing in non-stop, I can't stop!

The release of this new work will solidify Xia Shizi's immortal legend in the industry!

Chapter 22 The whole city is in turmoil

Spray and run, that was fucking exciting!

Playing a bad guy was incredibly exciting, and Aki Tomoya felt that this portrayal was perfect.

Kasumigaoka Utaha could no longer harbor any illusions about him.

In that senior's eyes, Aki Tomoya saw a fury that could completely engulf him.

Aki Tomoya thought, if anyone could still have fantasies about someone like that, how despicable must that woman be?

Having thoroughly negated the other party, there was no risk of causing them to be devastated, and Aki Tomoya was not worried about being retaliated against by the injured woman.

Whether it sinks into the Huangpu River or Tokyo Bay, it doesn't exist!

As for why, Aki Tomoya believes that Kasumigaoka Utaha herself probably knows the answer: there was no real development in their relationship at all.

Even though their past relationship was indeed somewhat ambiguous, it always remained at the level of being more than friends but less than lovers.

At most, he was just using this opportunity to completely reject the other person's feelings.

Actually, he lost out; he turned into a bad man!

"But this is better than keeping her hanging on. A young girl won't be able to tell which man is bad unless she experiences some pain."

Aki Tomoya felt no remorse. Shamelessly, he said that he was also teaching Kasumigaoka Utaha a lesson as someone who had been through it all.

She should just focus on writing her light novels.

As for the Nobel Prize in Literature he mentioned…

Kasumigaoka Utaha?

First, let's feel sorry for Haruki Murakami, who is brought up as a hot topic every year. Then, in this prejudiced society, unless she transforms into a genuine literary creator, she will face a lot of hardship.

But Japanese female literary writers...

Perhaps Aki Tomoya was simply ignorant; he couldn't recall any female literary writers, whether in traditional or popular literature.

Aki Tomoya could only pray that the senior student didn't do anything rash and really stubbornly go and write traditional literature. Light novels are really great!

Besides, he didn't make any promises or oaths about what he would eat.

The result of this was that Toyosaki Academy was in an uproar that afternoon. The students didn't know what the two had talked about alone, but the third-year students were all shocked by Kasumigaoka Utaha's baptism.

"General, may I trouble you for a moment?"

As school ended, after the other students left, casting surprised glances at Aki Tomoya, Uego Yoshihiko cautiously approached.

Aki Tomoya, who was still on duty, turned to look at his friend and couldn't help but chuckle, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

He suddenly came over to talk to me, and he was so serious that Aki Tomoya almost didn't recognize him anymore.

"The whole city is in an uproar right now, General. What exactly is your relationship with that Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

A strong fire of gossip erupted from Yoshihiko Uego's eyes.

During Aki Tomoya's exam preparation period, in the monotonous school life, such gossip, especially one involving Kasumigaoka Utaha and her friends, was extremely shocking to Uesugi Yoshihiko, who was still in his adolescence.

Moreover, he would only take up a few minutes of his friend's time who was preparing for the exam.

"If you're prepared, I can tell you!"

A solemn reflection shone from Aki Tomoya's glasses, instantly changing the atmosphere.

Uego Yoshihiko swallowed hard, and subconsciously asked, "Wh-what kind of resolve?"

"The resolve to sink into Tokyo Bay!"

A death wish!

Uesugi Yoshihiko shivered, his gaze darting around. After a moment's thought, he chuckled twice, then, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head.

"Are we going to the library later?"

As Yoshihiko Uego asked questions, he helped Tomoya Aki with his after-school cleaning duties.

"No, I'll go to the school after I finish my chores."

"Hey, is the queue this tight?"

Upon hearing that answer from Aki Tomoya, Kamigo Yoshihiko assumed that Aki Tomoya's weekly school days had been rearranged, perhaps even with an extra few days added.

"I don't have that kind of money. I just went to pick up my new test paper and, by the way, I sold that limited edition Date A Live figure. The other party paid the deposit, and I also settled the installment payment for the tutoring fee in advance."
