I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

"Aki-kun really seems to encounter all sorts of things there. There are quite a few fugitives and wanted people involved in this case."

She looked at Aki Tomoya with a hint of worry.

"Although there is a possibility of retaliation, there is no need to worry too much. Besides, I am only doing part-time work. My predecessors are still working normally, so there should be no major problems. I guess those who are on the run are not busy thinking about such things right now."

When you can barely take care of yourself, you don't have much time to think about other things.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of extremely vicious people.

"What are you talking about... I can't understand a word of it, hahahaha..."

Eriri, standing to the side, awkwardly watched the two discussing the recent events.

They talked for a while, but she only understood the word "revenge".

A medical student and a law student share a topic that seems rather uninteresting to an art student.

"Let's stop talking now, someone's treating us to dinner today."

That concludes our discussion. No matter how much he worries about that matter, it won't change anything; it all depends on how well the police handle it.

Besides, things have been going smoothly at the research institute lately, so there's no need to worry unnecessarily.

"Rinya, do you have any free time lately?"

Just as Aki Tomoya was about to go find Hashima Iori, Eriri suddenly asked him a question.

She looked at Aki Tomoya with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

I'm going to Kyoto soon.

Aki Tomoya casually replied, not noticing Eriri's puzzled expression.

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Iori Hashima.

"Kyoto?"

Where are we going and what are we doing?

Eriri looked at Aki Tomoya's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

My childhood friend suddenly said she was going to Kyoto. Is it for tourism?

"Iori, where is the shop you booked again?"

Aki Tomoya asked, gesturing for Hashima Iori to hurry up and lead the way, as it was almost noon.

Iori Hashima nodded and replied, "I've made all the arrangements. I'll lead the way."

He is still very self-aware.

If you were to ask which place in Shinjuku is the most famous, it would definitely be Kabukicho!

However, he was a respectable person, and there were girls in the group, so he had no idea what Kabukicho was.

"Kabukicho isn't far, Tomoya. How about we just take a stroll together tonight?"

Just browsing around...

That's quite a bold statement. Aki Tomoya isn't interested in those red-light districts at all.

Looking at Iori Hashima's ugly, joking face, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Hmph, my trip to Kyoto has already been arranged, so I'll pass this time. I'm not worthy of enjoying it!"

In fact, neither Takagi nor Majima knew how Takagi had arranged things.

However, this did not stop Aki Tomoya from using this to attack Hashima Iori.

"That's going too far! We're best buddies, and now you're treating me like dirt?!"

"Stop playing dead, let's go!"

Seeing Iori Hashima's injured appearance, Tomoya Aki couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

……

Later, while sightseeing in Shinjuku, Iori Hashima took the opportunity to bring up the new project while resting at a cold drink shop.

After hearing Iori Hashima bring up serious matters, Eriri had no choice but to consider it carefully.

"...Rin also told me that although he said your plan shouldn't be a trap for me, I'd still like to take a look at it first, just to be on the safe side."

"Of course, as long as Ms. Kashiwagi Eri is willing to consider it, that's fine. I'll ask Tomoya to send you the proposal when I get back. Please take a look at it and consider it carefully!"

Eriri did not agree on the spot.

Even though Aki Tomoya had said many good things about Hashima Iori, Eriri felt it was necessary to see Hashima Iori's new game plan before making a decision.

This response did not disappoint Iori Hashima.

He also knew that it wouldn't be easy to get a big name like Eri Kashiwagi.

Moreover, if it weren't for his friend Tomoya Aki speaking up for him, this teacher, Eri Kashiwagi, probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

At least now Eriri is willing to look at the project and consider it, which means there is still hope.

On the other hand, Hashima also mentioned to Aki Tomoya the new project her brother was preparing.

"I wish I could play games with Sawamura-senpai!"

The idea of ​​going out to sea from Hashima reminded Aki Tomoya that this junior schoolmate greatly admired Eriri.

"She will think it over carefully, but you can also tell her about this wish."

Aki Tomoya wasn't sure if Eriri would agree, so he could only reply with that he would go to sea with Hashima.

When talking about the new project, Hashima Saiyu was particularly excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Eriri.

"That's not a good idea... We should wait and see what Sawamura-senpai thinks in the end. We can't force it!"

Bo Island shook his head. He had such a wish in his heart, but he worried that it might be too much to ask of someone if he told them directly.

"Kato-senpai is not in the entertainment industry, right?"

After that, she changed the subject and looked at Kato Megumi with curiosity.

Kato Megumi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded calmly: "I'm not an otaku."

Unlike the people present, Kato Megumi has never been an otaku, neither in the past nor now.

She used to be just an ordinary high school girl with little presence, but now things are a bit better, since she's been admitted to at least the law school.

“I don’t interact much with people outside the circle, but Kato-senpai is different; she doesn’t give me that strange look.”

"Well... it's probably because I've spent a lot of time with Aki-kun and the others. Actually, whether someone is an otaku or not is just a matter of different interests."

When Kato Megumi was preparing for her exams, she was with Aki Tomoya. He used to be an otaku, while Uego Yoshihiko had never actually left the otaku life; he just didn't have time because he was preparing for his exams.

That's why she felt that otaku were not much different from ordinary people. They were all human beings, just with different hobbies, and they hadn't done anything immoral.

"But the atmosphere can be tricky; sometimes you just have to go along with what's going on around you."

Kato Megumi added that she used to be one of those who went along with the atmosphere around her.

At the same time, Eriri came over and sat down next to Kato Megumi.

"Kato, could you come over here for just a moment?"

Eriri asked in a low voice, as if she needed Kato Megumi's help with something.

Chapter 238 Good luck... (1/3)

"coming……"

Kato Megumi looked towards Eriri's direction, and then subtly glanced at Hashima Izumi next to Aki Tomoya.

Understood!

Kato Megumi knew exactly what Eriri wanted her help with.

So you really just treat her as a wingman...?

Engage in dogfights with enemy aircraft to buy her time and create an opportunity for a fatal blow.

but……

"Why do I have to be a wingman...?"

Kato Megumi was exasperated; she had come along for fun, not to be a wingman.

"I'm not a tool!"

That's what she thought, but Kato Megumi didn't intend to refuse.

At university, Megumi Kato didn't make many friends. Her high school friends stopped contacting her after she was admitted to the Faculty of Law; they were no longer from the same world.

On the other hand, she was very popular with the lecturer, probably because she had no friends and could only bury herself in books, giving the lecturer the illusion of being diligent and studious.

Although she wasn't particularly outstanding academically, for some reason, the lecturer thought she had a talent in that area.

Ultimately, taking the law school entrance exam was just a matter of going with the flow.

So why did people choose to study law back then?

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi glanced at Aki Tomoya across from her.
