Daily life in Zongman

"There's one more thing~"

Princess Latifah tilted her head slightly, her smooth blond hair tilting as she spoke: "It's a request."

The little princess sat up from his embrace, looked at him, and begged, "Hey, if you have time, come play again next time. I hope that when the brave man comes next time, we can have more fun!"

Words that have nothing to do with what happened before, words that have no reason at all, words that have nothing to do with what happened recently.

But it makes people dazed for a moment.

This is what I heard many years ago.

Yes, she said her memory returned, which means...

Controlled by the memories of the past, when he came to his senses, he saw the princess's childlike face gradually approaching.

I used to never understand why some masters would make mistakes and be caught in flaws when a few words, a piece of music, or a person evoked memories. Today I experienced it firsthand.

Fortunately, I am different from those people. Even if there is only a slight distance between us, I can still...

"Please... please... be my prince..."

In the courtyard of Red Maple Castle, the petals scattered on the ground were picked up by the wind, and the cherry pink petals fluttered in the air, like silk, soft and smooth.

Chapter 350 The final volume of Love Metronome.

The weather in August was dry and hot, especially in the afternoon when the heat distorted the air.

The Summer CM Expo is just two days away, and Fujiwara Haru is in the school club room today, preparing to pack up the cosplay props she's made. She's packing everything she'll need at home so she can go directly to the expo that day without having to come to school.

Pushing open the door to the club's activity room, I spotted a club member huddled in a corner. Her usually smooth, shiny, straight black hair was now a bit frizzy. She was holding her head in her hands, looking slightly down at her laptop. Her face was clearly annoyed, and her slipped, black-silk toes tapped the floor furiously, seemingly struggling with something.

When she heard the door open, she looked up and whispered in surprise, "Eh? Haru-kun?"

"Good afternoon, Shiyu-senpai."

A bit flustered, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly began to straighten her frizzy hair. After confirming her form had returned to that of a gentle senior, she responded softly, as if nothing had happened: "I'm surprised the senior diving leader is here today."

"Don't act like we haven't seen each other for a year."

After complaining about the senior student, he walked in and closed the door of the club.

"But if we use the saying 'a day apart feels like three months', we haven't seen each other for about one, two, three... maybe eighteen years."

"The term 'March' should refer to a long period of time, not a literal way of calculating time."

"Ah~ yes~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief. The literature-loving girl had subconsciously quoted a line from the Book of Songs instead of using the line "One day without seeing you is like three autumns." The fact that a certain fool had been fussing over the usage of March, rather than the source of her quote, made her feel both relieved and a little regretful.

After all, the Book of Songs mostly talks about love, and the meaning of the quotations is mostly about this.

"Why is Senior Shiyu coming to the club room during summer vacation?"

"There's air conditioning, cold drinks, and dedicated tables and chairs. It's very comfortable here. I prefer it here to home."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was in a good mood, her tone slightly raised: "Summer vacation is more than half over, and the irresponsible junior club leader just showed up in the activity room. Other clubs are actively carrying out activities during the summer vacation and getting together to have fun, but why is it that our club has no activities during the holidays? We can only chat in the chat group and then nothing else~"

"Slander, Senior Shiyu, you are slandering me! Isn't there an event for the whole club to attend a comic convention the day after tomorrow?"

"So, what then?"

"Em...it's definitely gone."

"So, as a club member, I was actively participating in club activities during the summer vacation, but a certain irresponsible club leader threw me aside. Is this really a good thing? They only think of me when they need me, but when they don't, I don't even get a chance to show up. It's really like they just abandon me after having sex with me."

"Ah, whether it's this misleading statement or this tone that sounds like someone has been let down, it's full of flaws."

"You better take responsibility, you idiot junior."

"Okay, okay. I'll make sure Senior Shiyu has fun at the club activities the day after tomorrow."

"Hmmmm~"

With a slightly triumphant attitude, Kasumigaoka Utaha regained the composure of a senior schoolmate.

The wind chimes hanging on the windows were silent. The windows were closed, and the air conditioner was blowing a gentle cool breeze. After stepping into this cool room from the sweltering heat, I didn't want to leave so soon and wanted to stay a little longer.

Therefore, when I started to clean up and organize the Cos props, I didn't move very quickly. I cleaned and put them away at the same time, and the overall progress was very slow.

Sitting in her exclusive seat in the corner, Kasumigaoka Utaha watched quietly without saying anything for the time being. Her eyes followed the people not far away, and she was thinking about something in her mind.

She recalled the last time she communicated with the boy. It had indeed been a long time, almost half a month, so long that she had to turn back the clock to the day of summer vacation last month.

"Good afternoon, Shiyu-senpai."

"Ah, good afternoon, Haru-kun."

On the day of summer vacation, she responded and then stopped talking. She huddled in a corner of the club, typing on the keyboard with her hands, pretending to be busy.

At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how to face the boy in front of her.

Ever since she returned from the zombie world, ever since that night, ever since she had seduced him and then escaped, it had been like this. She didn't know how to face her junior again, how to get along with him, or which side of her to show.

From the day I came back, I subconsciously avoided contact and didn't dare to communicate too much until summer vacation began.

However, after the complete loss of communication, the things that seemed embarrassing at first gradually became unimportant, and the boy who I didn't dare to face directly at first also gradually began to miss him.

My mood also gradually changed from embarrassment and anxiety to anxiety and longing. Until now, when we met again, after getting over the initial surprise, my mood became cheerful involuntarily, and communication returned to normal naturally.

It can even be said that she was more normal and natural than before. In her joyful mood, without much concealment, she also revealed her somewhat sinister and venomous side.

Time washes away those awkwardnesses, leaving only longing and expectation.

"Junior, what would you like to eat?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up, walked to the small refrigerator and opened the door.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the senior student standing on a blanket wearing only stockings. She bent down to look for snacks in the refrigerator. The back of her skirt moved up, revealing the skin of her legs in the lighter black stockings.

Skirt hem reference picture Jpg.

Don't look at anything indecent, just look away and don't look any further: "Just a bottle of ice water will be fine."

"There's watermelon juice, but it's not freshly squeezed. It's a watermelon-flavored drink that Nishimiya put in there."

"Then give me a bottle of watermelon juice."

"Give."

I took the watermelon juice handed to me by my senior student and took a sip. The cool feeling penetrated my whole body, making me feel comfortable in the summer. I sat on the sofa to rest for a while and fell into temporary laziness.

"Is Shiyu-senpai writing the final volume of 'Love Metronome'?"

"As you can see, it is."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat aside.

"Ten months, eh?"

She knew it was referring to the fact that the final volume hadn't been written for ten months, but she naturally said something nasty and vulgar: "It will be born this month or next. After all, it's the product of me and a junior student. I won't let it die in my womb."

Ignoring Senior Shiyu's poor remarks, he said, "It's been a long time indeed. Senior Shiyu, have you encountered any difficulties? Please share your thoughts and we can discuss. Although I can't write, I might be able to offer some new perspectives."

"Are you worried about this child who's been pregnant for ten months?"

"Rather than worrying about the work, I'm more worried about you, Senior. When I first came in, I saw you looked irritated, so I'm a little concerned."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped saying obscene things and fell into silence.

"Even if it doesn't provide any new perspectives, at least we've reframed the issues we encountered during the conversation. Thinking about it later might lead to better solutions. Senior Shiyu, please share the issues you encountered."

"Ah~ Let me think, where should I start..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the snack bag, took a bite, and looked over. "Haru-kun, do you want to know the ending of the final volume in advance? I've already confirmed it, and I can tell you."

"Spoiler, dammit."

"Okay, okay~ Then I'll try not to spoil the story and tell you about the difficulties I encountered."

Thinking of the annoying things, Kasumigaoka Utaha's silk feet began to shake up and down unconsciously, and she stamped the ground lightly: "The story development in the fifth volume is a bit too bland, especially the emotional development between the hero and heroine, which is very bland in the final volume."

"Isn't it better to be ordinary? Being together naturally should be a very common process."

"What's common in real life is mediocre in fiction. There are people who can write natural and ordinary emotions well, but I'm not that good yet. I still need to rely on various events to drive the emotional development. Especially after four volumes of stories, entering the final volume, the hero and heroine must have a major event to push the plot to a climax and usher in the final emotional sublimation."

"A hero saves a beauty?"

“How cliché.”

"Experience an unforgettable memory together?"

"I have."

"A new villain appears and creates difficulties?"

"Let's not have a new villain in the final volume. If it's short, it won't be exciting, and if it's extended, it'll become boring and long."

"Then there's a sudden disaster, mixed with racing, explosions, gunfire, and psychic awakenings, enough excitement and adrenaline rush. Then there's distrust and betrayal, and finally, through perseverance, the hero and heroine gain a deeper understanding of each other, reaching a perfect happy ending, and making dumplings together~"

"Junior, have you already started talking nonsense? This has absolutely nothing to do with everyday love."

"I can't think of it."

“So it’s quite puzzling.”

"Indeed."

"Hey~ You just boasted about being together, so you can't be irresponsible~"

"I didn't say that at all, don't misinterpret the meaning."

"Hey, but you were just discussing how to improve your relationship with me. Your method doesn't work, why don't you try yours? For example, you could treat me to dinner today, then watch a movie, and then because it's too late, we have to stay in a hotel together."

"Don't always make the conversation so awkward!"

"No~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha licked her index finger after finishing her snacks: "Isn't adult topic very suitable for me? Senior sister is already of the right age. Whether it's pregnancy or marriage, it's all fine~"

"Speaking of age, you'll graduate next year, right?"

"Of course, but maybe something unexpected will happen, so I'll stay for another year~"

"It's impossible for the top genius in his class to repeat a grade."

"So, maybe~"

While chatting, I finished drinking the watermelon juice, then continued to pack up the Cosplay props while chatting with the senior student who was making terrible remarks.

The good news is that Senior Shiyu is no longer like before, flirting with me while chatting. The bad news is that she is more likely to say bad and lewd things, and she seems to enjoy it.

I waited until the sun was no longer so hot before I finally finished cleaning up everything.

"Done, I'm going back now."

As I was about to leave the activity room, I looked at the JK senior sitting next to me with a relaxed and happy face: "Come to think of it, I thought Shiyu senior would avoid me today too."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been happily tapping her silk feet, paused for a moment, then tapped again. She did not respond to the previous sentence, but just smiled and said: "Hey, Haru-kun~"

"Final volume～Please look forward to it～"

Chapter 351 Sunshine, Juice, Shaved Ice, Girl, Comic Exhibition and Generosity (Part )

On August 8th, the Summer CM Exhibition was held as scheduled. At dawn, Fujiwara Haru had already packed his things and took a taxi to the exhibition with Nishimiya Shoko.

I took out my phone to check the group chat, ready to confirm whether everyone had arrived, when I noticed someone waving not far away. I looked over and found that it was a member who arrived early.

It had rained the previous night, and now the sky was clear and cloudless. The sun had risen, and it looked like the surface of a calm lake, a clear, azure blue. A girl with long, straight, golden hair ran towards them from a distance, radiating vitality and a face filled with joy.

Kitagawa Umi seems to have never been unhappy and is always so energetic.

When the people were still some distance away, they could hear the sounds of joy.

"Why are you here just now, Minister? It's so late!"

"It's not too late, it's just a little after six."

I looked at the time and saw that I could take a taxi here without having to wait for the subway, so I arrived much earlier than the last time I attended the comic convention.

"Hey! It's really late! I came yesterday afternoon, and there were already dozens of people there. Now there are even more people lining up. By the time it's the director's turn, I might have to wait another half an hour. By then, all the notebooks at the popular booths will be sold out!"

Looking behind Kitagawa, there were already two rectangular arrays in the CM exhibition queue area. Most of the people in the first array brought sleeping bags or tents, and it was obvious that they had been queuing last night.
