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

The time that Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hime Nana agreed to meet was at one o'clock in the afternoon.

It was just past dinner time.

It is twelve o'clock.

Closing the red notebook on the desk, Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a sigh of relief.

She spent the entire seven or eight hours immersed in the novel.

Ji Qi's advice to him was not only pertinent and to the point, but also inspired her to get more inspiration.

If she hadn't been short of time, she would have wanted to write like this until her body couldn't take it anymore.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha took good note of the plots that inspired her, so she was not afraid of losing them.

Rubbing her sore eyes, she went straight to the bathroom, ready to wash her body thoroughly before going out.

After everything was done, Kasumigaoka Utaha returned to her bedroom, walked to the slightly messy dressing table filled with bottles and jars, picked out two cosmetics that many men had never heard of, and lightly put on some makeup in front of the mirror, looking like a lotus in clear water.

It is not something to be despised for a girl to put on makeup when going out. Instead, it should be a kind of respect for others.

What's more, this is Japan.

After putting on her makeup, Kasumigaoka Utaha put the USB flash drive containing the novel on the table into her small bag and looked at the time.

Oops, it’s almost one o’clock.

Realizing that she was about to be late, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickened her movements and finally put the white hairpin on her head. After checking her clothes in the mirror to see if there was anything wrong, she nodded with satisfaction.

When she reached the entrance, she originally wanted to say hello to her parents, but she found that her parents didn't seem to be at home. She didn't care at the moment, just changed her shoes and went out.

The place where I agreed to meet Himechi was next to the station in Chiba Prefecture.

If it's just a date between a man and a woman, Chiba is obviously not an ideal place.

However, they were not just dating, their main purpose was to submit their works.

After getting on the subway, Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored the surprised looks of others and sent a text message to Ji Qi with one hand.

When she arrived at her destination, Ji Qi was already waiting for her there.

Well, today's Ji Qi is still so inconspicuous...

If there was no one here, Kasumigaoka Utaha really wouldn't have been able to find him.

"Hey, junior, good afternoon." Looking at Ji Qi's faint dark circles, she pursed her lips for some unknown feeling and greeted him very casually.

"Good afternoon, Kasumigaoka is not late at all."

Hearing the voice, Ji Qi withdrew his gaze from the endless stream of people passing by the station and took a good look at the girl.

Today, Kasumigaoka Utaha wore her signature white hairpin, her long black hair reached her waist, and a blue top that was just the right size to fit her graceful figure. As for her lower body, she still wore a short skirt and black stockings.

Moreover, the girl wore makeup, which was rare. She had long eyelashes, and if you looked closely you could see very light eyeliner and eye shadow, which made the girl look even more pure and beautiful.

Once she calms down, she really is a quiet and beautiful girl.

"Let's go. I've already talked to the editor."

Ji Qi nodded to Kasumigaoka Utaha, and took the lead to lead the way.

He didn't take the girl's words yesterday seriously at all, even about the date.

With Kasumigaoka Utaha's playful personality, if you take it seriously, you will definitely be fooled by her.

Occasionally, a high-speed vehicle on the road would whiz past the two of them, creating strong winds.

"By the way, Kasumigaoka, have you had lunch yet?"

"No."

A breeze blew by, and the girl's black hair fluttered in the wind, and she spoke lightly.

Ji Qi was a little surprised, "You haven't been writing until now?"

"Yes, with so much encouragement and support from you, Ji Qijun, I think I can't hesitate or be confused anymore."

Maybe it was because it was the weekend, people on the street were walking in groups of three or four, and the surging traffic showed the prosperity of Chiba.

Wait, what did Kasumigaoka Utaha call him?

Is this the first time you call him by his full name?

Ji Qi, who was moving leisurely and unhurriedly, paused for a moment, "Xiazhiqiu classmate, are you moved by me?"

Unexpectedly, the girl admitted it openly.

Not only that, she even said something that made Ji Qi shudder, "That's right, I have to say, I am slightly moved by the strategy you have thought of with so much effort. So, my junior brother who knows girls very well, what other methods do you want to use to pursue me?"

Ji Qi swallowed his saliva.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is being sarcastic to him!

But why did you say it so clearly and affirmatively?

He laughed it off and tried to evade the topic, "Kasumigaoka-san, I don't quite understand what you are talking about..."

"Tsk, the girl has hinted so clearly, but you are still playing dumb. This doesn't match the high emotional intelligence you have always shown. Are you trying to satisfy your vanity by letting others think that I am clinging to you?"

Talking about this topic, as a girl, Kasumigaoka Utaha was inevitably a little shy no matter how old she was, but she still took the initiative to look at Ji Qi's face with a contemptuous tone.

Her confident words seemed to have already determined that Ji Qi was such a person.

"I admit defeat, Shiyu. But I want to deny one thing. Do you think my situation will attract other people's attention? No one noticed me, so what you said is not true at all."

Ji Qi shrugged and said, calling each other by name is a sign of a closer relationship, of course he is happy to see this!

Kasumigaoka Utaha’s expression froze for a moment.

Although her sarcasm was subconscious, it was all based on reasons and would not make people feel that she was being unreasonable.

Being overly sarcasm will definitely make others feel uncomfortable or even disgusted. Kasumigaoka Utaha has grasped the balance very well. She only speaks out in a joking manner about some harmless things and never embarrasses Ji Qi.

She wanted to add something to continue bickering with Ji Qi, but when she saw Ji Qi stopped, she looked forward in confusion.

A striking building appeared in Kasumigaoka Utaha's sight. It was a combination of several square buildings, and the walls were shining with a heavy luster. A sign of "Kadokawa Bunko" was hung on it.

It turns out we have arrived.

Looking at the towering modern high-rise buildings around her and the layers of stainless steel glass on the surface of the buildings shining brightly under the reflection of the sun, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is still in the ivory tower of her student body, has an illusion of stepping into society.

"Let's go in, Shiyu."

Ji Qi's calm words brought Kasumigaoka Utaha back to her senses.

She didn't care too much about it just now, but now when she heard a boy calling her name, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little embarrassed and blushed, which was rare for her.

Thanks to this, the nervousness I felt just now disappeared.

What an amazing person...

……

Ask for a ticket~

Do you think the senior has too many roles? They will be developed evenly later on, after all, everyone is a wings.

And the senior sister’s personality hasn’t changed, right?

Chapter 48 My Boyfriend

After entering the door, Ji Qi took Kasumigaoka Utaha directly into the elevator and walked towards the office of the editor of Kagurazaka.

On the way, Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little nervous, which was rare for her.

As a person with impeccable appearance, top grades and self-confidence, she rarely feels nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Shiyu. If you have modified it according to my instructions, there will be no problem with the quality, but..."

It's a bit funny that Ji Qi has been paying attention to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Where is the girl who usually loves shaking her legs and has a sharp tongue?

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, "But?"

"But the editor may ask you to make some changes to cater to the tastes of otakus. In other words, make the novel more commercial."

Ji Qi told Kasumigaoka Utaha what might happen.

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned and thought for a moment.

As a new writer, she really didn't think that much about it.

"I can't tell. Although you are younger than me, you are surprisingly mature."

Ji Qi only mentioned "senior" once, but Kasumigaoka Utaha kept grabbing it and kept complaining about it, which actually shows her character.

“We are from the same age.”

The two chatted casually and walked into the office.

The scene has not changed at all from the last time I came.

The room is filled with warm-colored two-dimensional decorations, allowing those who like to stay at home to find a little warmth here.

At this time, the Kagurazaka editor, who had short hair and looked very refined and mature, was on the phone.

I vaguely heard that it seemed like he was urging me to submit my manuscript...

Jingjing waited for her to hang up the phone before Ji Qi took the initiative to go up to her and say hello.

"Ah, Teacher Ji, you are here."

Although Ji Qi's presence is very low, Kasumigaoka Utaha's aura and appearance are off the charts. Kagurazaka noticed her when they first arrived.

I have to say, Hiratsuka Shizuka's seemingly casual idea sometimes really works!

Ji Qi nodded with a polite smile, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he introduced Kasumigaoka Utaha to the editor.

"Oh, I really want to read the manuscript of an author who is so highly praised by Teacher Ji."

Kagurazaka stroked her chin and looked at the two of them with interest. However, she didn't know what she was thinking about. She said with a distressed expression:

"I've been really busy lately, because I'm in charge of a lot of popular works, and I'm almost out of time to sleep every day. And my subordinates are mainly responsible for the different world themes like Mr. Ji, and I don't have much experience in youth love like you write, Miss Kasumigaoka. So, Miss Kasumigaoka, can you find a new editor?"

As if she was afraid that they might misunderstand her, she added, "She is the deputy editor-in-chief of our company. She is a very nice person and has more experience than me."

You have to know that Himeshichi is a newcomer that Kagurazaka is very optimistic about. It would not be worth it if there was unhappiness due to such a small matter.

Of course, everything depends on the quality of the novel.

It’s just about giving them a chance.

The whole cause and effect had been explained, so Ji Qi and Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally had no objections.

It just so happened that the so-called deputy editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka was also handling work on this floor, and she came over just by saying hello.

Looking at the appearance of the person coming, Ji Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

That’s right, this person is Machida Wanko!

And this kind of operation?

Ji Qi was shocked by this different routine.

After that, Ji Qi had nothing to do.

He couldn't help much.

Ji Qi found a corner to sit down and took out his cell phone to kill time.

……

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The editor's reply made Kasumigaoka Utaha not sure whether she should be happy or not.

First of all, her novel was approved and could be published.

Although the reviews were not as good as Ji Qi's, the editor was still very satisfied.

The only suggestion the editor gave to her article made Kasumigaoka Utaha look a little sideways.

"Ms. Kasumigaoka, your writing is excellent. The plot rhythm and character creation of the book "Love Metronome" are all good, but the shortcomings are also quite obvious... How should I put it? In this era, the overall pace of light novels is very fast. If a novel cannot attract people's attention at first glance, it will easily be ignored. After all, there are so many novels, and readers will definitely pick the topics that interest them first."
