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

After staying in such an environment for a long time, Ying Lili found that her thoughts were slowly changing.

The boy who brought her into the world of otaku, who made her look at him differently and who she cared about for a long time, now seemed not so important.

Thinking more deeply, what she holds on to is really not some kind of obsession to prove something, or a desire for someone to recognize and support her feelings when she is alone, but so-called love, right?

Faced with this question, confused Eriri subconsciously avoided it.

In short, she was very concerned about the outcome of the game, and now, as she watched the time shorten day by day, she seemed a little anxious. If it dragged on, even if they had two painters, they might not be able to finish the game in time!

"It's okay. I believe Shiyu."

Ji Qi, who understood the real reason why Shiyu was not in good shape, paused and said with guilt.

Ying Lili snorted, but didn't say anything else.

Shiyu still didn't say anything. She bit her lower lip and looked a little dazed.

The heroine, whose character attributes are almost complete, keeps shifting her gaze between Shiyu and Ji Qi, as if she is thinking about something.

Before we knew it, it was almost dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone into the high school classroom, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold weather.

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head to look at the sky outside. Suddenly, with a "click", she put away her notebook, stood up and said calmly:

"Now that we've finished discussing this, I'll go back today."

Seeing the black-haired beauty walking to the door, Ji Qi opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He silently let the senior sister walk out of the classroom.

"Ah, my other club activities are almost up, see you tomorrow."

Eriri stretched and followed Kasumigaoka Utaha away. Although they sometimes quarreled, it was also a proof of their good relationship. To be honest, Eriri's feelings for Utaha were actually higher than Kato's.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Qi and Hui were the only ones left in the classroom.

They looked at each other, and Ji Qi was the first to react. He smiled and said, "Let's go first."

The girl nodded.

At this time, except for those who are still participating in clubs, most of the students in the school have left. In the rather deserted corridor, only two sharp whistles can be heard occasionally.

Kato Megumi, who was carrying a backpack in one hand, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly said:

"Kasumigaoka-senpai seems to be in a very depressed mood recently. Although I am not a creator and don't know much about this, can you really create a good work if you continue like this? You know, there are less than three weeks left until the real deadline. So, I think..."

"benefit?"

"Ah, that, Senior, what I want to say is..."

Chapter 441 A Lifelong Friend

Ji Qi looked at Miss Kato, whose mood swings were obviously much greater than usual, and wanted to hear her advice.

To be honest, he knew clearly what the problem was with Kasumigaoka Utaha and he didn't think Hui could give any effective solution, but he was still very happy that Hui had this thought.

Shiyu is an extremely introverted person, and the only people she can call her friends are just a few of them.

"Well, how should I put it, Senior, how about we pick a time to hold a small party and invite Senior Kasumigaoka to attend? The place can be my house, or anywhere else. Although I don't know what happened between Senior and Senior, and I don't know how Senior thinks of me, but this should at least cheer her up a little, right?"

Kato Megumi twirled her ink-black hair with her fingers, and her smile was like glass, so pure and innocent.

Although her words were plain, one could clearly feel her concern.

Even though she knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was her love rival, the girl had already considered her her friend before that.

The sharp-tongued and arrogant senior schoolmate has no friends to talk to, and the same is true for the passerby lady who has never been noticed by anyone.

To her, every partner in this society is indispensable.

Perhaps because of someone's reasons, one day there will be a result that none of them want to see, but if this kind of life can last for one more day, Kato Megumi wants to maintain it for one more day.

"..." Ji Qi stopped unconsciously. He felt a little emotional for the girl who had just revealed her feelings to him for the first time. After a pause, he smiled and said:

"Shiyu is actually quite similar to Eriri in some ways. They are both very harsh with their words. Believe me, she definitely values ​​our relationship. This is the only thing I can guarantee."

Hui blinked, "Then I feel relieved."

"As for a gathering, well, I think it's okay. If you think about it carefully, our club has been established for so long, and we have never had a formal gathering." After pondering for a while, Ji Qi finally nodded and agreed with Kato Megumi's idea.

This matter must be resolved eventually.

Besides, more than a month has passed, so Kasumigaoka Utaha’s anger should have subsided a lot, right?

Hui reached out and smoothed the messy hair on her forehead. "Well, let's calculate the time. How about this weekend? We can discuss the specific details together then?"

"no problem."

Ji Qi answered readily.

After saying this, Kato Megumi returned to her calm and composed look, but from the excited expression she occasionally showed when chatting with the boy, it could be seen that she was not as calm as she appeared.

……

At the same time, at Kasumigaoka House.

As expected, Shiyu's recent abnormal condition was noticed by her family. After perfunctorily answering her parents' questions, she returned to her room and the first thing she did was to pull up all the curtains.

Taking a deep breath, she placed her laptop on the computer desk and focused her eyes on the only source of light in the room.

Now she was not in the mood to care about such minor issues as whether it hurt her eyes or not. Perhaps humans are such emotional animals, and inner fluctuations can quickly and directly affect a person's behavior.

Looking at the sad words she typed on the screen, Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a bitter smile.

She was not slacking off as Eriri imagined. In fact, over the past month, she had spent more time working on the script than usual.

Because she felt heartbroken whenever she thought of that man.

But she couldn't control herself from thinking about her, so she was in agony and could only choose to numb herself by writing.

It was at this time that Utaha Kasumigaoka had a new understanding of work - it turned out that work was also a good way to escape reality.

It was just that her mood affected her. Although she wrote a lot, the whole text and the plot were uncontrollably filled with a sense of sadness, which was completely different from her previous style.

If it were taken out separately, it might be mistaken for being written by two different people.

After reviewing it a few days ago, Shiyu felt that the script was not worth publishing, so she deleted all of it, which is why she has not submitted the manuscript yet.

"It can't go on like this."

The girl muttered to herself. The closer she got to the deadline, the more anxious she became. However, this restlessness not only did not turn into motivation, but instead made it impossible for her to write a single word.

Fortunately, she had just submitted the manuscript of the novel some time ago, so she doesn't have to worry about it for a long time.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lay on the table and put her little head in her arms.

When she met Ji Qi before, her mood was very complicated, and that calm look was just an act. Listening to his familiar voice and secretly looking at him from a distance, Shi Yu sadly discovered that her mood was the happiest and happiest in this painful month.

It was as if, after seeing him again after this incident, she realized more clearly the extent of her feelings.

What an irony.

As expected, I still can’t leave him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was feeling very helpless. Ever since Ji Qi said those "heretical" words, she had wanted countless times to harden her heart and force herself to leave this philandering man, to mock him with vicious words and let him taste the consequences of his philandering, but she couldn't do it, no matter what she did.

Whenever I think of that scene, my heart feels like it’s being stabbed by countless needles.

"So, there's only one option left."

She asked herself in her heart.

Yet there is still no answer.

"Forget it, this is not the time to think about this. I have more important things to do."

Recalling what Eriri had said to her before, Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head and stretched.

Time is really running out.

She only had a little bit of work left, almost nothing. Others had guessed that at least one-third of the progress was nonexistent, and she didn't dare tell them about it.

Considering the speed of the two girls' painting, she only had until the end of this weekend at most! In other words, she had to complete an entire route in GAL in less than a week.

From now on, if I don't put all my energy into writing, I will never be able to finish it. No, even if I put it on, it's not certain.

You have to give 120% effort.

However, she has already realized it.

Her eyes gradually became firm.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is a very proud person. In this situation, she will not allow the entire team to fail before the finish line because of her alone.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to being the extremely confident and sharp-tongued writer Kasumi Shiko.

After thinking about it, she sent a message to Eriri, Kato Megumi, and Hime Nana respectively on her cell phone.

"Feel sorry……"

Chapter 442 Are you kidding me!

(It’s still updated daily! And set another flag, there will be updates during the day!)

"I'm sorry, there was a big problem with the previous script, so I deleted it all. I'm going to start over now, so although I've caused you a lot of trouble, please forgive my willfulness this time. I'm going to start my seclusion and rush to finish the manuscript. I may disappear for a while, but I will definitely finish it before the deadline, don't worry. In addition, the CG original drawings ordered so far do not need to be changed and can continue as planned. That's all I want to say."

Confirm and send.

Next is the information about asking for leave from the teacher.

Kasumigaoka Utaha used her slender fingers to manipulate her phone and asked her homeroom teacher for a week's leave. Although asking for such a long time at one time would inevitably affect her grades, the reason this time was indeed her own, and she had an obligation to make up for it.

Anyway, there is still a year before she goes to school, so she still has the capital to be unrestrained once.

Thinking of this, the senior student no longer hesitated. After sending a text message asking for leave to the teacher, she simply turned off her mobile phone and cut off all external contact methods.

After doing all this, she came to the laptop, turned on the desk lamp, and stared at the blank document for a full ten minutes. After completely clearing her mind of distracting thoughts, she slowly placed her hands on the keyboard.

There was a determined light shining in those wine-red eyes.

Then, there was only a series of crackling sounds in the room.

……

A text message from Kasumigaoka Utaha?

Eriri, who had just arrived home and had not had time to change her clothes, sat on the bed and blinked. When she finished reading the message, her eyes suddenly widened and she shouted in a slightly shrill girlish voice, "Huh? You're just starting to write now? And it's a whole line!? Are you kidding me, Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

After spending so much time together, she has more or less understood the creative patterns among writers. And it is almost impossible to complete such a large workload within a week!

However, her complaints were clearly to no avail.

She knew that the stubborn and proud woman, no, the writer, would not be shaken by the will of others, even if that person was Ji Qi, since she had said such an undecided thing.

So, what else can she say.

I can only pray that Kasumigaoka Utaha can finish the manuscript smoothly before the deadline.

Moreover, as a loyal fan of Ms. Kasumi Shiko, she is very much looking forward to the latest script.

Eriri scratched her head and replied to Kasumigaoka Utaha with a grin, "I understand, I understand. To be honest, I've already realized it since you haven't mentioned the script for such a long time. Well, how should I put it? As long as you finish it before the final deadline, I'll take care of the rest. But let me make it clear in advance, if you dare to fail at this critical moment, I won't let you off!"

Then, the girl looked at the phone screen eagerly, waiting for the other party to reply to her.

But an hour passed and no one paid any attention to her.

"Aaaah! I really can't get along with this woman with a dark personality!"

At the same time, Ji Qijia.

Did Shiyu send him a message?

Ji Qi, who was casually browsing the news at home, saw the note on his mobile phone. His tired and decadent look suddenly disappeared and he became energetic.

After reading the text message, my mood became subtle again.

This formulaic tone doesn't sound like it was sent to him alone, or should it be said that it was to explain the recent situation to everyone in the community?

Ji Qi sighed, feeling a little distressed. Others didn't understand why, but he knew why Shi Yu was so depressed!

In fact, it shouldn't be Shiyu who should take the blame, but him.
