Kasumigaoka Utaha is the most talented literary girl in Toyonosaki Academy and the unattainable flower in the eyes of the students.
She has always been ranked first in the school, but she is actually a light novel author.
Therefore, now Akitomo also admires this senior sister very much. She has the ability to take care of both ends and has achieved certain results in the light novel industry.
A new light novel writer, after the huge success of his light novel titled "Love Metronome", he has accumulated considerable popularity as a newcomer in the industry.
The button that brought the two together was the book "Love Metronome".
When this light novel was serialized and released, Tomoya Aki was a die-hard fan of this book.
At a book signing event, fans met the author.
Fans recognized her as a senior from the school, and thus they had some interactions.
At that time, he continued to praise the other party enthusiastically and spared no effort to promote the author of his favorite work. It is said that this move increased the sales of the work by 30%.
He also had a lot of discussions about the work. In the past, in order to repay him, the persistent reader, she worked hard on her writing, repeatedly pondered and even argued with the editor, and completed the work without getting discouraged.
But on the eve of the publication of the final volume, that winter she found him with the manuscript, but he rejected her and her feelings.
Now, Tomoya Aki is a student who is working hard to prepare for the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo, and Utaha Kasumigaoka is still the one who is completing her studies while continuing her light novel writing.
They all have changed, but if you ask who has changed the most, it must be Aki Tomoya.
In the past, Aki Tomoya would not be interested in the boring Japanese history without cuteness. He even threatened to get into the University of Tokyo and even announced on his blog that he would retire to prepare for the exam seriously.
In the eyes of those who knew him, these actions seemed like a complete farewell to the past.
Taking light novels as an example of things I loved in the past, if it weren't for the influence of its predecessor, Tomoya Aki would probably only be interested in "The Familiar of Zero" and "The Stigma of the Wind". Unfortunately, both authors have passed away.
Tomoya Aki also understood why Kasumigaoka Utaha would come close to him, a "wooden-headed person", at this time.
It comes from unwillingness, curiosity, and discomfort.
Or perhaps it is because she still cares about Tomoya Aki that Utaha Kasumigaoka appears involuntarily.
To use Tomoya Aki's current words to describe her, she is not a literary talent now, but just a girl who is in a bad mood.
"Well, it's closing time..."
A somewhat timid voice sounded from the side. Aki Tomoya looked up and realized that there were only three of them left in the library.
Not to mention the closing time, just look at the sky getting dark outside, it's almost time for school to close.
All club activities have ended, and quite a bit of time has passed since school was over this afternoon.
"Sorry, can I still do a debit now?"
Aki Tomoya stood up, glanced casually at the still calm Kasumigaoka Utaha, took out his debit card and asked the librarian.
After spending a little time and completing the debit procedures, Tomoya Aki ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha and walked out with the three books.
After changing his shoes and walking out of the teaching building quickly, when Tomoya Aki pushed his bicycle out of the bicycle shed, he happened to meet Kasumigaoka Utaha again at the school gate.
The students in the club have already taken the lead. After training for several hours, they don't have the extra energy to pay attention to irrelevant things.
Pushing the bicycle on the slope leaving the school, looking at the graceful figure in front of him, the subtle atmosphere between them still existed.
"Ethics-kun, are you so repulsive to women from the past?"
Suddenly, the other party uttered a word that made Aki Tomoya stop in his tracks.
Women in the past...
This description is not wrong, because the senior student in front of him was indeed dumped by him to some extent.
To be precise, her feelings were rejected before they even officially started.
"Senior, it's not appropriate to be angry with me."
Aki Tomoya smiled, and the smile on his face made Kasumigaoka Utaha a little surprised.
Unlike the boy that Kasumigaoka Utaha was familiar with, the boy in front of her was completely different from before.
Even his speaking style has changed a lot. How long does it take for a boy to become mature?
This kind of question is worth exploring in depth, because if we don't add some dirty factors, it takes many factors for a boy to become mature, and it can't be described in a few words.
But what kind of feeling does Aki Tomoya give her now?
At least he is no longer the little boy who could be teased occasionally. This method is no longer suitable for Tomoya Aki.
"What do you mean by 'woman from the past'? Let's not use such pitiful terms. If she really is a woman from the past, then Senior's actions contradict that description."
So now Tomoya Aki prefers to regard Kasumigaoka Utaha as a girl who is just throwing a tantrum.
On the one hand, she was unwilling to be dumped, and on the other hand, she knew what kind of person Aki Tomoya was in the past. Under the contradiction between the two, her attitude also changed accordingly.
In fact, regarding the winter incident, Kasumigaoka Utaha is still struggling with it.
But at this moment, Aki Tomoya's calmness made her feel an unknown anger in her heart.
If he knew everything, would her feelings be so insignificant in the eyes of the other party that he wouldn't even take a look at them?
The sudden silence actually showed that she had revealed her true feelings in front of Tomoya Aki, and it was easily exposed.
"Senior treated me as someone who could work together, whether it was before or now, it was actually wrong."
Aki Tomoya pushed his glasses up and kept a calm smile on his face.
"In the past, Tomoya Aki was a blockhead who didn't know how to make a girl happy, but now Tomoya Aki doesn't have time for such extravagant things. What a pity, Senior."
As he said this, he described making girls happy as a very luxurious thing.
Love is definitely a beautiful and precious thing, and Akitomo is happy to use all kinds of words of praise to describe it.
It is an equal existence to the ideal, but can you have your cake and eat it too?
Aki Tomoya wanted to answer yes, but one should always be practical. After enjoying it, Aki Tomoya felt that rather than being the best, the most suitable might be more appropriate.
As he said, on the road of working together, the best is not necessarily the most suitable, and the most suitable is not necessarily the best.
People always feel stuck when faced with decisions, but they will grow after learning from their mistakes. For Tomoya Aki, he is definitely no longer suitable for doing extravagant things.
Maybe he is a little stubborn, but he wants to pay the least price to pay for Aki Tomoya's past.
