I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

"I may still want to prove my own ideas, like telling a woman that you let such a good woman go. This is a sad thought that is happening to me right now."

As she described her state of mind in this way frankly, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked calm.

She raised her head and met Eriri's gaze: "But if the other party doesn't care at all, or is even willing to bless you, then this revengeful mentality is actually a little ridiculous, isn't it?"

It's like doing a lot of things, but in the end it's all meaningless.

Ying Lili felt the other person's complicated mood.

It's not just for myself or my future, I still care a little about the past and may even be a little paranoid.

"Anyway, if you want to regard me as your rival, then I'm afraid you are wrong. You don't need to sympathize with me. In the Keio Literature Department, Kudo, who is a freshman, is your biggest rival."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke as if she was out of the matter.

But this is not what Ying Lili cares about.

Of course, she also admitted that the relationship between the two people who had been classmates for two years was also extraordinary.

But after hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha say this with her own ears, Eriri felt a little complicated.

When she was in high school, she did a few bad things after she noticed that Tomoya Aki and Utaha Kasumigaoka were getting close.

For example, in order to prevent them from getting too close, or perhaps considering that Kasumigaoka Utaha was fooling the otaku Aki Tomoya, she ran directly to the other party and said that.

And now, Kasumigaoka Utaha is already an "outsider".

"At least he should have liked you before."

"Don't try to comfort me like this. It will make me feel even more sorry."

"Then just pretend I never said anything."

Having said those words without thinking, Ying Lili now felt a little regretful.

I really don't know what I was thinking at that time, saying that to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, she had to admit that when she had been in contact with Tomoya Aki before, to be specific, before college, she had seen a lot of regrets in Tomoya Aki's eyes, and those regrets flashed when he mentioned Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Eriri could sense the boy's mood at that time.

But Eriri didn't know why that person rejected Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She sometimes thought about it, and every time she thought of it, she would think of what the boy said to her after the CM fan exhibition during the summer vacation of her sophomore year in high school.

How can we be together if we are not from the same world?

There is no doubt that Kasumigaoka Utaha was a genius at that time who could be admitted to any of the three major private schools, and her childhood sweetheart had to stand out and prepare for the exam with a desperate spirit.

This may be one of the reasons, but Eriri is not herself after all, so it is impossible to be completely sure.

"But one thing I can be sure of now is that the distance between me and Ren Ye is gradually narrowing compared to two years ago..."

The reason is simple. Eriri clearly remembers what her mother Sayuri Sawamura said: It's great that Tomoya Aki was admitted to the University of Tokyo.

"You are much smarter. Childhood sweethearts have great advantages. Take advantage of them."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her calmly.

"...I don't know why, but I can't feel happy at all when I hear such words from you."

"Do you still want me to fight with you again?"

"Uh……"

How can it be!

Ying Lili's face changed. Having a new competitor was not a good thing no matter how she thought about it.

It is better to say less.

Chapter 227 It’s hard to say (2/?)

On September 17th, Tomoya Aki originally planned to meet his high school friend Yoshihiko Kamigo, but was stood up.

"If I had known you would stand me up, I should have gone and seen what Suzuya had planned..."

After being stood up by his good friend, Aki Tomoya felt somewhat unhappy.

I had originally planned to play with Yoshihiko Kamigo today.

As a result, this guy suddenly had something to do and sent me a message in the morning saying that he was not available.

"There's nothing I can do. I really want to show off to you, my friend from the University of Tokyo. I'm desperate too!"

On Line, Yoshihiko Uego replied to him like this.

In view of this, An Yilun forgave him, but he had to rethink his plans for Saturday.

And at this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the TV report.

At the press conference, Professor Suzutani of the Teito Medical University Hospital apologized for not being able to save the patient Dokin, and also apologized for some of his previous inappropriate practices.

"In the end, he still apologized."

According to reports, the lawsuit was settled out of court, the hospital sent Suzuya's father to take the blame and apologize, and then everything was the same as before.

It caused quite a bit of impact on the hospital, and not being exiled was already the best outcome.

This is roughly how Suzuya's father stopped the loss and how the hospital handled the situation.

"No wonder Suzuya wasn't worried at all after school started..."

After school started, Suzuya was somewhat affected by this incident, but he himself was not too worried.

I guess he really believes that his father will get through this difficult time.

After turning off the TV, Akitomo no longer paid attention to the matter that was almost over.

But then again, it was also thanks to this incident that I had the "good fortune" to meet Suzuya, who was ranked first in the same period.

Tomoya Aki didn't hate that Suzuya, but to be honest, that Suzuya was not easy to get along with.

And quite a few people have gathered around Suzuya.

Maybe he should learn from Majima. Among the three people, he is the most popular in the Science 3 class and is very good at dealing with other people.

Don't try to make friends with others, keep a reasonable distance.

You can refer to Majima's friendship rules.

Suzuya is someone you can make friends with, but you have to keep your distance.

After all, the top student of the same period is not essentially the same person as Takagi and Majima.

Forget about the stars surrounding him, what matters is that everyone can get what they need.

Just as he was thinking this, his cell phone vibrated.

Message sender: Machida Sonoko.

"Ms. Machida..."

This is someone I haven't contacted for a long time.

The last time I saw the deputy editor-in-chief of Fuzugawa was probably on New Year’s Day of that year, thanks to Tobajima Iori.

But after that, there was no contact. Why did you contact him suddenly?

"Aki-kun, can I ask you a question?"

I don’t know what’s going on with this Machida Sonoko. It’s really rare that she would think of him.

I'm afraid it has something to do with Kasumigaoka Utaha again.

If Tomoya Aki wants to come, Machida Sonoko will contact me, and it is very likely related to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After thinking about it, An Yilun also remembered that the great writer was going to transform.

I guess Machida Sonoko doesn't know that I'm writing popular novels.

On one side is the editor-in-chief of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and on the other side is the deputy editor-in-chief of Fuzugawa.

Now the popular author below was behaving a little strangely, and Machida Sonoko's keen sense of smell detected something amiss.

Kasumigaoka Utaha must be hiding something from her.

But what has not been confirmed yet is what that person is doing secretly from her.

"Ms. Machida, if there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best."

Although he replied politely, Tomoya Aki already had a plan in mind.

"Can I ask Amami-kun if you've noticed anything strange about Kasumi Shiko-sensei recently?"

As expected, it is related to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Aki Tomoya muttered to himself.

He typed slowly in reply, "I have had little communication with that great writer. Ms. Machida should go talk to Mr. Kashiwagi Eri."

"..."

Compared to Tomoya Aki, the person who has the best and closest relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha right now should be Eriri.

If you want to ask, you can actually ask Eriri, and you will get a better understanding of what that great writer is like.

However, Machida Sonoko didn't feel comfortable asking Eriri.

Aki Tomoya himself is well aware of this matter.

If she could ask, Machida Sonoko would not have bothered Aki Tomoya.

"excuse me……"

Machida Sonoko didn't know whether Aki Tomoya was telling her in a disguised way that the other side knew nothing.

However, whether she really didn't know or was pretending not to know, Machida Sonoko couldn't say anything.

It's just that Kasumigaoka Utaha's recent strange behavior made her a little panicked.

But even if she wanted to ask more questions now, Machida Sonoko couldn't continue to bother Aki Tomoya.

Finally, she replied: "It has been going so smoothly. The work has now been successfully adapted into a game and animation. Teacher Kasumi Shiko should develop well."

What do you want to imply?

Aki Tomoya smacked his lips.

I don’t know if the other party is complaining.

But when he thought about the stance over there, he immediately understood Machida Sonoko's current mood.

With the emergence of a leading author, the situation is now very good. Kasumigaoka Utaha will definitely have smooth sailing as she continues her journey in light novels.

This is a good thing for the publishing house, Machida Sonoko, and Kasumigaoka Utaha herself, a win-win situation.

Machida Sonoko is not a bad person. In fact, she is a really good editor for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But unfortunately, Kasumigaoka Utaha has her own ideas and the capital to fight for it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Machida. I have something else to do here, so I'll take my leave now."

But Akitomo couldn't tell Machida Sonoko about it.

To put it bluntly, he is still an outsider in this matter.

Even Eriri knew that it was impossible to tell tales, and Tomoya Aki was even more aware of this.

There are some things he can't talk about, or he can't get involved at all.

Machida Sonoko's sudden contact also let Aki Tomoya understand the recent actions of the great writer.

Although his beginning was rejected at the very beginning, he got stronger and stronger with each setback. It seems that the great writer is on the rise and he still intends to make achievements in popular novels.

In this regard, Tomoya Aki feels that everyone has their own ideas, and before the results come out, no one knows whether the decision of the great writer is correct.

But there is one thing that Tomoya Aki knows.

"Thanks to this incident, I almost forgot that Kudo's novel will be released next month. I have to support it!"

Aki Tomoya suddenly remembered something important.
