If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Shiyu was just pretending, just waiting for him to explain.

So, when school was over, Ji Qi discovered this situation and could only find an excuse to deal with it. The other party might not know the specific development of the matter and did not care too much, but still took the opportunity to invite him to this cafe by talking about this and the novel.

Ji Qi naturally agreed to Sister Shiyu's little willful request.

As for the matter of Sagiri at home...

Ji Qi has almost forgotten about it!

It's not his fault. After the surprise attack by Yukinoshita in the morning, and the series of incidents with Mashiro and Shiha, he forgot that he hadn't cooked for Sagiri yet.

Perhaps subconsciously, she believes that with the perfectionist Yukinoshita around, she would consider such issues?

So they sat in this ordinary seat and chatted normally.

Anyway, it’s not long since school was over and it’s not dark yet, so there’s still plenty of time.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was choked by Ji Qi's sudden words. Because it was indeed the truth, she had no reason to refute it.

"Ah, junior, facing a girl who was deceived by you and waited for you so hard, is this all you want to say? As a scumbag, you are really very skilled and qualified."

The slender and plump legs in high-quality stockings trembled unnaturally, and the expression on the girl's face was involuntarily full of sarcasm. She said that others were skilled, but in fact, she was the most skilled in changing the subject.

"Compared to this, aren't you going to talk about something in the novel? Let's talk about this." Facing the woman in front of him, Ji Qi, who thought he knew her well, simply ignored her venomous tongue and cooperated with her. The two of them completed the topic connection with just a few words.

The girl folded her slender hands together and supported them at her chin, and replied lightly, "Oh."

"The third volume of Love Metronome should be out now." Ji Qi recalled and said slowly. In simple terms, the plot of Love Metronome describes the love triangle between the protagonist Naoto, the heroine Sayu, and the newly appeared Mami in the second volume.

Although there are bad topics everywhere, the one written by Shiyu is very popular and well-received, which shows the girl's ability.

"Well, the manuscript has been revised twice and is ready to be handed over to the editor." When talking about business, the girl's expression became much more serious.

"I haven't read the revised version, but I can give my opinion on the version before it. The plot is now steadily moving towards an intense climax, the confrontation between the two heroines is getting more and more intense, and the hero's struggling mentality is also well described, making him seem less of a scumbag. Well, overall, there's no problem. By the way, I'm a Sayuka fan."

Ji Qi paused for a moment, and then spoke to the girl who exuded the aura of a literary girl.

"Why?" The girl leaned forward slightly, seeming to be very interested in this question. A unique fragrance immediately appeared in the calm air. Although they were sitting opposite each other and there was no direct physical contact, Kasumigaoka Utaha unexpectedly gave the impression that they were very familiar with each other. They were almost close enough to be boyfriend and girlfriend...

"Sayuka looks perfect and pure on the outside, but she's actually evil, gentle, vindictive, and stubborn on the inside. She's very possessive, and when she sees the protagonist having an intimate relationship with another woman, she almost becomes a yandere. She looks like she's about to break down at any time, which makes people unable to stop watching her... I have to say, this contrast and flaws make the character instantly fuller and more realistic. The small details in her life also make people feel that 'she's not just a fictional character, but a girl who exists in reality.' Teacher Kasumi Shiko is really good at creating characters."

As he often read the girl's "Love Metronome", Ji Qi, who already knew the plot and characters clearly, spoke of his impressions without hesitation. Perhaps because he often created works, he interpreted them from the perspective of half the creator and half the reader.

For some reason, Sister Shiyu's face turned red.

Her beautiful jade-like eyes stared straight at Ji Qi, and her moist cherry lips opened slightly: "Eh? Are you confessing to me, Junior?"

Obviously, she was the first to fall.

Obviously, she is the one who likes the other person very much.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, this bold woman, took the initiative to suppress her emotions and turned passivity into initiative, as if this emotion of fear of gain and loss should appear in Ji Qi.

suffer?

Ji Qi was not panicked when he was teased suddenly. Ji Qi's emotional intelligence was not low. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out everything.

"So Sayuka was based on you?"

Ji Qi sighed. No wonder he felt that this character looked so familiar. Should we say that the creators are indeed people who can draw inspiration from anything in daily life?

If Shiina Mashiro was here, Himechi would tell Mashiro to watch carefully and learn well...

Shiyu's creative style is truly worthy of being Mashiro's teacher.

"Is there any problem?" Raising her thin eyebrows, Kasumigaoka Utaha found that she could never take the initiative when facing this man.

Is it because the other party is too mature? Or does he know her very well?

"No, no. It's more like, it's very suitable. Sayuka's popularity speaks for itself, right?" Ji Qi waved his hand. This kind of creative technique is very normal among writers.

"So what do you think of Zhenwei?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her black and white eyes and asked another question.

Chapter 220 I Didn’t Say That!

"So what do you think of Zhenwei?"

After the two of them have made it clear that Sayuka is the heroine based on Kasumigaoka Utaha, this answer is very important.

Without a doubt, this is an easy question.

After figuring it all out, Ji Qi told Shi Yu the answer she came up with with an extremely sincere smile.

"Sayuka-san, you're such a bitch!"

"..."

Please, this is a cafe, don't be so loud and excited... it's super embarrassing.

Shiyu's face was very red. She focused her entire gaze on the area outside the window, so that she wouldn't have to feel the awkward strange looks from other guests around her.

Although it was a bit of an ostrich mentality, it was still very useful. Shiyu, who was very good at adjusting her surface emotions, quickly regained her composure and looked at Ji Qi.

What does he mean?

Ignoring the gazes of others, Ji Qi said shamelessly: "I think Naoto is better."

"What's so good about that indecisive, useless man who doesn't understand women's hearts..."

The girl muttered something to herself about this obvious teasing, but didn't delve into it further.

Ji Qi asked speechlessly: "That's the protagonist of your novel. Is it really okay to say that?"

"Because he's the protagonist, I know him inside and out, no matter his strengths or weaknesses. There's a saying that goes, true love is to tolerate a person's weaknesses, right?"

"Dazai Osamu said that?"

The girl's thin cherry lips slightly raised. After spending a long time with Ji Qi, I realized that he was actually a very funny person sometimes. But he knew how to choose the right occasion and only joked about insignificant things. Most of the time, he was very mature. He was so mature that he didn't even look like a high school student...

"Before you send the revised version for editing, please let me take a look first. You said it was just revised yesterday?" Ji Qi asked, holding up the handle and looking at the sky outside which was gradually getting dark.

The girl shook her head and said frankly: "No, yesterday I was thinking about the inspiration for the subsequent plot."

"Well, if there's nothing else, let's go home first. Sagiri hasn't had dinner yet."

Ji Qi glanced at the time. It was almost seven o'clock. Seeing that Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't say anything, it seemed that nothing was wrong. Finally, he remembered this and spoke to Shiyu slowly.

"Tsk, sister control." Kasumigaoka Utaha smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. She still saw how attentive Ji Qi was to her sister. Although sometimes she felt that someone who could treat his sister so caringly must have good character, she still felt a little envious.

Ji Qi did not comment on this evaluation.

He finished the rest of the drink, and seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha had no objection, Ji Qi took the initiative to pay the bill, and walked out of the cafe with the girl.

Ji Qi walked a little faster, as he was worried about his sister.

After a while, a fork in the road appeared.

From here on, the two of them were no longer heading in the same direction.

On the street with neon signs everywhere, Kasumigaoka Utaha lightly lifted her hair and followed Ji Qi without any hesitation.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and after two minutes, Ji Qi couldn't help but said to the girl next to him: "Ms. Kasumigaoka Utaha, what are you going to do?"

"Let's go to your house to continue discussing writing. Oh, or playing games?"

"The latter one is the reason you just thought of, right? We have been discussing this for two hours. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Ji Qi stopped and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha helplessly. What was this woman trying to do?

"I'm hungry." Shiyu smiled elegantly, touched her flat belly, and said without any shyness.

"Don't your parents cook dinner at night..."

"They're on a business trip."

“What a convenient setting.”

After complaining speechlessly, Ji Qi said nothing more and walked silently in front. It seemed that he had acquiesced that Kasumigaoka Utaha had followed.

In his mind, there were only two people at home, and Sagiri never went out, so an extra pair of chopsticks wouldn't be a big deal.

"It's such a blessing to be able to eat the food cooked by my junior."

"I also want to eat the food you cook." After Yukinoshita suddenly became so gentle and virtuous, Ji Qi's level of uselessness increased rapidly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked her watery eyes and said playfully, "Hit? To be honest, I can still cook some simple meals. But the taste..."

"Considering your future career, Shiyu, I think it would be better for you to learn some cooking skills." Ji Qi touched his chin and said seriously.

"My profession... Are you implying that I will become a single mother in the future?" The beautiful legs in black silk stockings under the skirt kept the same pace as the man, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's clear eyes were full of mischief.

"Are you learning from Mashiro? No normal person would think of it in this way..." Ji Qi covered his head, really convinced that Shiyu deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of other people's words.

"Mashiro?"

Sensitively catching this girl's name, Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head slightly and repeated it calmly.

"Yeah, the manga colleague I told you about last time." His heart skipped a beat, but since their relationship was pure, Ji Qi didn't think it was anything to tell Kasumigaoka Utaha. For the time being, he still had no other thoughts about the too pure Mashiro.

This frank attitude made the suspicious Kasumigaoka Utaha a little confused about the situation.

It’s impossible that every girl you meet is a beautiful girl, right?

In other words, their feelings are completely reversed. Why is that?

Although it may sound a bit self-boasting to say this, she is the beautiful girl who is the center of everyone's attention, and the other party is the inconspicuous person, right?

Shouldn't this man be worried about this and that?

But why can't I see it at all? Or is it that I am too obvious?

Ah, she didn't mean that Ji Qi was bad. On the contrary, she really liked to appreciate Ji Qi's personality and character. Moreover, to her, he was a very special person...

The other person's current situation made her feel like she had picked up a common stone from the side of the road, and in the end found that there was a dazzling diamond inside, which showed the pride of her vision, but also made her feel uncomfortable that her unique treasure in the world was being peeped at by others.

All in all, I have mixed feelings.

During the time when Kasumigaoka Utaha's thoughts were wandering, she could already see Ji Qi's house from here.

The lights in the western-style building on the second floor were on, emitting a soft glow in the dark night.

The light is on...?

Chapter 221 I remembered everything!

Although the lights were on, Kasumigaoka Utaha was only surprised for a moment before she put her heart back into her stomach. Didn't Ji Qi say that he has a younger sister at home? She should have done all this.

Since it was his own home, Ji Qi thought a little more than Shi Yu, but in the end he came to the same conclusion as Shi Yu. When he was not at home, Sagiri would occasionally leave the lights in the room on and forget to turn them off...

I took out the key and opened the door. Standing in the entrance, before I put my shoes into the shoe cabinet, I could smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

There was also a slight crackling sound coming from my ears, like something exploding.

Same situation as in the morning.

Huh?what's going on?

After changing into slippers, Kasumigaoka Utaha gently thrust an arrow into Ji Qi's back: "Your sister isn't as shut-in as you say, right? Can't she cook?"

No...it's impossible for Sagiri to enter the kitchen in such a short time.

It should be said that you can’t learn it.

So, who is currently frying something in the kitchen?

1: Yukinoshita Yukino.

2: Kato Megumi.

Both of them had keys to his house.

You ask when Kato Megumi also got the key?

Ji Qi mentioned this matter the last time he saw that she and Sagiri were getting along so well. This was also because Kato Megumi and Sagiri were getting along well, which made him feel very relieved.
