I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

He doesn't dislike pressing that spot; in fact, he should say he likes it.

"It really troubled the senior, didn't it..."

Bo Island was heading out to sea, looking somewhat embarrassed.

After not seeing him for several years, this senior has changed a lot compared to before.

It seems we can no longer say "like-minded people"?

"Starting August 11th, can I take a look at the schedule first?"

Aki Tomoya took out his notebook and opened the schedule for August.

Noticing his movement, Izumi Hashima subconsciously glanced at Tomoya Aki's notebook, then covered her mouth in surprise.

Are they all fully booked?

Seeing the dense handwriting and schedule on it, Bo Island looked somewhat disappointed.

Judging from this, Aki Tomoya is indeed very busy, and probably won't have time to attend the summer CM doujinshi convention.

"It's not that everything is fully booked, it's just that at the end of the first semester, the tutoring schedule was changed to six days a week..."

Aki Tomoya scratched his cheek.

He also had no idea in advance that Bo Island would come looking for him after the graduation ceremony, and even invite him to the CM doujinshi convention.

Unfortunately, after fulfilling the promise made to his parents, the tuition fees for six days a week this year, along with the installment payments that Aki Tomoya had previously owed, were also paid off.

The father didn't say anything, he just told him to keep going.

His mother kept talking, reminding him that even if it was six days a week, he should never force himself if he was tired.

"My son doesn't necessarily have to go to the University of Tokyo, but if you want to work hard, we will support you!"

At the private school, this is what his mother, who paid for his follow-up tutoring, said.

That thick stack of envelopes gave Aki Tomoya a new understanding of the tutoring fees in Tokyo.

"Is the senior studying so hard to prepare for the exam?"

Po Island replied in surprise, "With six days of tutoring a week, there's hardly any time to rest."

Regarding Aki Tomoya's preparation for the exam, Iori Hashima had actually given her a little hint.

Although she had been mentally prepared before coming, she still couldn't hide her surprise after learning the details from Aki Tomoya himself.

"Setting your sights on the University of Tokyo is a bit like asking for trouble, isn't it? Hehehe."

Aki Tomoya joked.

There's nothing I can do about it; it was my own decision to apply to the University of Tokyo. With only a year and a half left, I might get busier and busier.

"It's not like I'm asking for trouble. Just like before, my senior is always full of energy!"

Bo Island replied earnestly as he set sail.

The atmosphere was relaxed, but for some reason it suddenly became serious.

Aki Tomoya paused for a moment as he was about to take out his pen, glancing sideways at his junior whom he hadn't seen for several years.

It's been a few years since I last saw her, and that little girl seems to be developing into an outstanding woman.

In response, Aki Tomoya could only pray that Hashima Iori wouldn't instill any strange common sense into Hashima during the voyage.

"Your senior once told my brother that you wanted to reach the pinnacle of the world of anime, right? Although I don't know why you changed your goal, I'm already very happy that you said you don't hate anime!"

Aki Tomoya's pretty face was full of seriousness as she went out to sea, but from her tone, he could hear a clear sense of regret.

Saying these somewhat insincere words, trying not to bother others, but Aki Tomoya had already sensed something was amiss.

His junior, who went to Bo Island to sail, must be feeling quite regretful right now.

After all, the person who led her into this circle has already left the entertainment industry.

"It feels a bit embarrassing for me, as a senior, to be taken care of by a junior, especially since I haven't even said whether I want to go or not..."

Aki Tomoya shook his head.

It was as if the other party already regarded them as people from two different worlds.

However, this idea is not without reason.

"Hey, senior, do you have some time?!"

Hashima's eyes widened in surprise, because in her mind, Aki Tomoya shouldn't have had time.

She felt a surge of joy, but dared not be too hopeful, because Aki Tomoya had not yet given a specific answer as to whether or not she would go.

"Day 1, Day 2, Day 3?"

Aki Tomoya picked up the "ticket" on the table. Actually, it shouldn't be called a ticket; it should be called a pass for exhibiting at the Hashima Island sea excursion.

After looking at it carefully, he immediately realized that this junior was going to sell her notebooks as an exhibitor.

Is this your first time exhibiting as a fan artist?

he asked next.

"...Yes, the next day, in the exhibition hall on the east side."

"I'm going out to sea," Bo Island replied somewhat shyly.

This time, I'm not just going to CM Doujinshi Convention for fun, but as a participating doujinshi creator.

"The next day, August 12th, I understood."

Aki Tomoya wrote on the schedule in his notebook, making slight changes to his plans.

It was Aki Tomoya's first time participating in an exhibition as a doujinshi creator, and he was touched that Hashima Izumi had specially come to invite him.

"Going to sea? Thank you for inviting me, I'm truly honored!"

Aki Tomoya carefully put away the water-based pen and the exhibition pass for the trip to Hashima Island.

"Senior, you said yes?!"

The man on the island of Po was first taken aback, then surprised, and then delighted.

She thought the other party wouldn't agree.

But then she worried, "Can my senior really manage to schedule all his time?"

I still vividly remember the densely packed schedule in Aki Tomoya's notebook, and the trip to Hashima Island.

“Students preparing for exams also need rest time. I’m not a robot. I just rearranged my time a little, and it’s fine.”

On August 12th, which was Saturday, I was supposed to go to the cram school for tutoring, and then rest on Sunday.

Aki Tomoya also arranged Sundays for self-study and Saturdays for summer commercials.

Chapter 60 The young man never died (2/12)

I promised to attend the CM doujinshi convention on August 12th. After attending her first convention as a doujinshi creator, the two talked a lot afterwards.

Ultimately, due to arrangements for the boat trip to Po Island, I had to go back first, as she also needed to prepare well for this exhibition.

It's time for Aki Tomoya to go back.

He was not well-prepared for the reunion with a former female student after the first semester's graduation ceremony.

However, Aki Tomo accepted her sentiments.

The summer vacation schedule is very tight, but it's not like there's not a single day of free time.

It's not a bad thing to relax on that day, and then a few days later, it's summer festival again. When we shout "Tamaya" again, summer vacation will be almost over.

Time really flies. For example, my junior schoolmate, who was still a primary school student in my memory, has grown up quite a bit since she became a high school student.

It's already quite remarkable for a junior high school student to have that kind of development.

On his way home, Aki Tomoya saw a fearless person standing in the middle of the road.

"Is that guy an idiot?"

Because of the person standing in the middle of the road, Aki Tomoya had to slow down.

Standing in the middle of the road like that, all I can say is that he has never died.

It was a boy, dressed fashionably, with a handsome face, standing on the road in a cool pose, a confident smile on his lips.

There were no cameras around, and it didn't seem like they were recording anything.

"Showing off in the street, either you're having a fit of teenage angst, or you're asking for trouble..."

Aki Tomoya shook his head, praying in his heart that a car wouldn't come and send this cool young man to his doom.

Slow down and avoid the boy. Aki Tomoya has eyes and doesn't want to run into this fearless young man.

"So young and already like this, sigh..."

As he passed by the boy, Aki Tomo couldn't help but sigh.

There are many ways to look cool, but to do it on the street, Aki Tomoya can only be described as young and fearless.

Ignoring the man, Aki Tomoya slowly rode towards home.
