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

Kasumigaoka Utaha came back to her senses and smacked her lips calmly. This woman Kato Megumi really never missed any opportunity to gain favor! She took advantage of such a small opportunity!

You really can't underestimate her.

"Anyway, this way, our fame and sales should be well-established in the industry! Ah, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Eri, your idea is so cliché! As a hobby club organized by high school students, what's the point if we only care about these things? Even if we fail in the end, we will be unwilling together. If we succeed, we will be happy together. The result is important, but so is the process!"

Ji Qi did not complain about the contradiction in Eriri's attitude, but spoke confidently.

The painter was stunned by the intimidation. On the other side, the senior who was not so easy to fool curled her lips and said, "The protagonist drank too much chicken soup today, so you want to share some with us, right? You are really good partners."

I don’t know if it was because she didn’t want to embarrass Ji Qi, or because she didn’t want to destroy the current harmonious relationship in the club, or maybe it was the instinct of female shyness, but in front of other girls, Kasumigaoka Utaha tacitly did not reveal their relationship, so their way of getting along was still the same as before.

"That's about all I have to say today. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll be leaving now."

Ji Qi shrugged his shoulders and looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. He still had a lot of things to do. If he didn't deal with them, he would probably be busy until one or two in the morning.

"I'm going to have dinner with my mother."

"I need to come up with an outline for the rest of the novel."

The other girls were similar to him for various reasons.

So he hung up the phone, and in the end, the only thing that kept him company was this ordinary computer.

After drinking a cup of tea to clear his mind, he quickly got down to work.

As for the upcoming Christmas?

Let’s wait until it arrives!

……

The next day.

'Jingle Bell'.

With the ringing of the bell for the end of get out of class, the originally quiet teaching building suddenly became as noisy and lively as a vegetable market, and the people pouring out of the classrooms were crowded together like sardines in a can.

Under a withered cherry tree not far from Toyo-no-zaki, the high school students from the Homecoming Club who were in a hurry to go home or had plans to go out for fun all subconsciously turned their eyes to a man who was wearing handsome casual clothes, which was different from the style of the entire school.

Generally speaking, most high school students don't know how to dress themselves up, but Ji Qi's outstanding temperament, low-key and luxurious casual clothes, and nearly 1.8 meters tall make him stand out from the crowd. His nearly perfect appearance makes the girls in sailor suits always look at him with curious and shy eyes when they pass by. He can even hear the whispers of girls not far away.

On the other side, during the busy school hours, a girl who was equally out of tune with her surroundings and looked like a snow girl who had walked down from an iceberg walked to the school gate.

She noticed this scene out of the corner of her eye and raised her eyebrows, feeling inexplicably unhappy.

I just don’t know whether she was unhappy to see Ji Qizhao attracting so many women, or she was really unhappy with his persistent way of pestering her.

"Hey, good afternoon, Yukino, don't you have any club work today?" Seeing the person he was waiting for, Ji Qi naturally came up to him, smiled brightly, and revealed his white and clean teeth.

As if to suppress her anger, Yukinoshita took a deep breath and replied in a cold tone, "Who said before that you would wait for me here?"

"Did you see it? I thought your phone was turned off." Ji Qi, who felt that he seemed to have found a way to deal with Yukino, said seriously.

After a pause, he continued to implement the planned policy and said with a smile, "Are you tired after a day of study? How about we go to the playground to relax?"

It seemed like it was the first time that Xueno's face twitched after being treated so caringly. Although she was moved by his suggestion for a moment, she was totally uncomfortable with it and cast a cold gaze at Ji Qi. Unexpectedly, the latter acted as if he saw nothing and continued to smile.

Helplessly, she put a finger to her forehead and said, "If I don't go, are you so free?"

"For Yukino, no matter how busy you are, you have to make time for her!"

Ji Qi said boldly.

It seemed that there was nothing she could do about him. The girl took a step forward and walked in front with a stern face, not moved at all. However, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth seemed to betray her master's true feelings.

Chapter 464 Playground (Part )

"Are you really not going to the amusement park? I've already bought the tickets." Ji Qi's voice was filled with a hint of distress.

"No." The girl's voice sounded firm and resolute.

Ji Qi was not discouraged after being rejected. He slowly took out a ticket from his pocket and then sighed sadly:

"Really? What a shame! This is Disney with the special Mr. Pan. I heard there are also limited edition dolls once a year. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll have to wait."

"!"

Hearing the words "Mr. Pan", Yukinoshita Yukino reacted like a machine with a program input. She really turned her neck like a machine and turned her gaze to the thing in Ji Qi's hand.

The ticket had a clear picture of Mr. Pan printed on it, which shook her mind.

The girl looked away with difficulty, still stubbornly saying, "Of course I can buy it, it's just a waste of money. Although there are Mr. Pan's special decorations in Disneyland now, the amusement park is still full of people and long queues. From a time perspective, there is no need to go there to buy it."

It is her usual style to calmly support her own views with a series of arguments.

But she still paid attention to this amusement park, and it turned out that I made the right choice by choosing her last night.

Ji Qi complained, "So no matter what, you still have to buy it?"

"Of course, this is a rare limited edition that you'll never be able to buy again if you miss it!" Xueno nodded as if it was a matter of course. When it came to Mr. Pan, she seemed like a different person.

Ji Qi smiled and raised the ticket in his hand, "Do you want to go together?"

"Absolutely not." Perhaps it was because of her rebellious mentality or because she felt embarrassed, this time Yukinoshita snorted coldly and refused more bluntly.

His expression was as strong as a rope, as if it would not be shaken by anything.

"Mr. Pan's winter sale will be held tonight." Ji Qi said in a low and slow voice like a tempting devil.

"I'm going to change clothes now."

The last straw broke the camel's back and Yukino immediately surrendered. The change in her expression was even faster and more natural than any other expression he had seen before.

Ji Qi once again clearly realized the girl's obsession with "cats" and held his forehead. He was sure that if Yukinoshita was asked to choose between him and cats, this cat slave would definitely choose the latter!

There is a subtle sense of frustration.

Maybe he wasn't as important as he thought?

Ji Qi sighed depressedly, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Well, Ms. Xue Nao, what do you think will happen to make you give up your obsession with Mr. Pan?"

"No, give up, that's impossible to happen."

The Snow Girl with long black hair rejected the idea without even turning her head, which made Ji Qi's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

'I'm telling you, you'll lose me!'

The boy secretly complained in his heart that if someone showed their love for other things like this in front of a man, most people would have some little thoughts.

Of course, no matter how much he complains, he is not so petty. He is not jealous at all, huh.

Since Yukinoshita said she wanted to change clothes, even though he didn't think it was necessary, he still chose to wait for her at a nearby station.

As for why he would take the tram even though he already has a car, it is because the time he spends going back and forth is not as fast as taking the tram. Anyway, it only takes about ten minutes, and there is a direct tram to Disneyland.

After buying two tickets, Ji Qi sat on a bench in the station, waiting like most people while taking out his cell phone to pass the time.

However, when he saw this text message as soon as he took out his phone, he regretted taking out his phone.

"Teacher Ji Qi, when should the drawings for this month be submitted?"

"Ah, well, it will be done in two days, don't worry Ms. Iida."

"You're not lying to me, are you? Really, why did it turn out like this? Compared to you, the king of procrastination, Mashiro-chan is less of a worry to me."

I could feel Iida Ayano's resentment even through the phone.

You said a comic with a bright future, why did the author suddenly change it to a monthly publication? You know, whether it is a light novel or a comic, the update speed is very important, and it goes without saying that the change from weekly to monthly publication has a great impact on popularity.

In fact, many readers have complained, and many have threatened to give up, but he is determined not to update!

A shameless attitude of asking for a manuscript without risking one's life!

In addition, what makes Iida Ayano feel incredible is that such an update speed will quickly make her fall off the readers' evaluation list and then be cancelled. After all, you are not a great genius like Yoshihiro Togashi. For most cartoonists, delaying submission is definitely a dead end.

But I don't know if this is the only type of comics on Jump, or if there is an unknown deal between Shueisha's top management and Himeshichi, so much has been dropped in the update, and the reader rankings and sales have only dropped slightly, which is far from being cut in half.

Even if he fell behind, the editor-in-chief said at the meeting that a special serialization position would be reserved for him, just like Togashi.

This caused an uproar within the company at the beginning. You have to know that Ji Qi is just a newcomer. Even if his grades are good, he is still a newcomer. He has not made much contribution to Jump. Why should he be treated the same as those veteran greats?

This car is driving too obviously! It breaks the rules that the company has set in the past!

In response to the doubts, the editor-in-chief simply said that this was the adult's intention, and there was no room for negotiation at this time.

At the same time, the animation work was not delayed but was put on schedule early. It seemed that the company was determined to put all its resources on Ji Qi.

This made Iida Ayano, who was unaware of the inside story, astonished, and she could only sigh that this was the big boss who could not be messed with.

If she hadn't known him before and had a relationship with Mashiro, she wouldn't have dared to urge this big guy who obviously had a powerful background and was obviously drawing comics for fun to finish his manuscript!

At least I wouldn't dare to use the current tone!

"Yes, Mashiro is a truly conscientious cartoonist. The industry lacks dedicated people like her!" Because Ji Qi has a strong sense of responsibility and can distinguish right from wrong, he knows that he was wrong in this matter, so his attitude has always been polite, which makes Iida Ayano find a little comfort.

The editor said fiercely, "If you dare to delay the submission again, I will let Mashiro personally urge you to do it!"

"She can't do anything to me."

Ji Qi muttered, what can the little white rabbit do when it comes to the big bad wolf? There is no other possibility except being eaten up, right?

At this moment, as if he had sensed something, Ji Qi subconsciously raised his head, and then he saw the cold girl standing in front of him with a face as indifferent as ice.

Chapter 465 Playground (Part )

In the crowded and bustling subway station, the cool girl stood there quietly, like a still picture, not affected by the people around her at all.

Ji Qi put away his phone and looked up slightly.

The girl in front of me, Yukinoshita Yukino, was wearing a white coat. The slightly loose clothes covered her body tightly. Her fair neck was tightly wrapped by a plaid scarf. She was wearing a pleated skirt of the right size, matched with black tights and long women's shoes. The first impression she gave was that this guy was definitely afraid of the cold.

Although you can tell that she didn't dress up deliberately, she is still very cute. In conclusion, beautiful girls will score high no matter what they wear!

Ji Qi said with a smile, "So soon? I thought you would arrive another ten minutes later."

After all, it’s a waste of time for girls to dress up when going out.

But Yukinoshita really did as she said, she just went home and changed her clothes.

Should we say that they are so familiar with each other that she no longer cares about her image, or should we say that she has no experience in this area at all? It always feels a little weird to go on a date like this.

"Arriving five minutes before the meeting is basic social etiquette."

Yukinoshita answered nonchalantly.

Ji Qi, who thought it was fun to tease this serious girl, said seriously, "We are on a date! Not a social event!"

"Ah? What nonsense are you talking about? Why are we doing this when we are just friends going to Disneyland? Do you want to try to die?"

Most importantly, as a boy with a girlfriend, is it okay to say such ambiguous words to other girls?

Even she knew to keep a proper distance, but this man kept testing the edge of that line, as if he would step over it at any time.

Yukino's voice suddenly rose two pitches, her tone carrying obvious disdain and a hint of complex emotions, which she concealed very well.

Ji Qi, who had long been accustomed to her sharp tongue, did not take it seriously at all. He said seriously: "Oh? You may not be able to beat me now! I have recently learned Aikido!"

The girl sneered. Being challenged in her professional field made her want to teach him a lesson on the spot about his ignorance and what real Aikido is. You know, Aikido is like most martial arts. It requires persistent training day after day. Ji Qi was obviously regarded by her as a newcomer who became arrogant after practicing for a few days.

However, on second thought, a faint warmth flowed through her heart again.

She didn't hate the fact that Ji Qi was so busy every day, but he still worked hard to learn Aikido in order to get closer to her - or to find common topics for the two of them.

It should be said that she has always admired this kind of method of constantly improving oneself for someone or something.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe this guy's motives were not pure from the beginning? She just couldn't be sure. There were so many people pursuing her, but no one did the same thing as him.

She likes Ji Qi's serious study, hard work, and research on common topics for both of them, even if it's just to please girls and get closer to her.

If he really was that kind of ordinary student, so ordinary that he had no advantages at all, and only dared to fantasize about the person he liked in his heart or choose unreliable methods like love letters, then let alone the current entanglement, I guess there would be no possibility for the two of them to even become friends.

"The train is starting to move. Let's get on first."

Hearing the reminder on the radio, Ji Qi urged Yukinoshita who was suddenly distracted. The latter was startled, then followed him slowly into the tram. Her long black hair, which contrasted sharply with her white coat, swayed slightly.

He found a seat and sat down while there weren't many people around. He looked at the car door that closed with a "whoosh". Before he could continue talking to Yukino, the cell phone in his pocket rang again.

He took it out helplessly and looked at it, and Ji Qi's face turned black instantly.

"Teacher, the animation company said they want to discuss the script with you again. I don't know if there is a problem with the picture, music, or the original rhythm. Do you have time?"

He subconsciously glanced at Yukino beside him and frowned.
