The edge of the gradually darkening sky dragged the last cloud dyed red by the setting sun. On the slope of Fengzhiqi Academy, there were sparse students leaving after finishing their club activities.
Not far from the main gate of Toyonosaki Academy, Tomoya Aki was standing there pushing his bicycle. In front of him, the senior who was known as the school's top literary talent was looking at him in some surprise.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was very surprised.
She met her junior, Tomoya Aki, at that autograph session, and after more interactions later, she thought she knew this boy, who was full of otaku attributes, well enough.
At one point, Utaha Kasumigaoka even thought that it would be extremely difficult to remove the label of otaku from Tomoya Aki.
But this boy whom she thought she was familiar with publicly announced on his blog that he had chosen to practice in seclusion in preparation for the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo.
And he actually did it, so it's not surprising that he has such strong execution ability.
But there are so many unfamiliar things about Tomoya Aki now.
Especially now, the one who takes the initiative is completely Aki Tomoya.
The other party looked so calm, as if he knew everything, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel a little uncomfortable.
If she could comfort herself before by saying that this guy's love-sickness only existed in the two-dimensional world, now, Tomoya Aki showed that he completely understood the meaning of the manuscript she intended to give him in winter.
That's her heart.
"To write for someone, honestly, that person is way too lucky. You can't be so entangled with someone who doesn't understand romance. Be decisive and give him a slap in the face."
In fact, Tomoya Aki felt sorry for this senior. She thought she saw someone with whom she could go hand in hand, but that person actually didn't think about this at all.
But then again, both sides have their own problems.
If you look at the situation from many sides and consider all the factors, it is actually quite confusing and even a little regrettable.
Although Tomoya Aki did not show these emotions on the surface, he knew very well that if he showed any regret, it would be noticed by the senior student in front of him.
What will happen then?
This is a development that can lead to further speculation, but Tomoya Aki has no intention of falling in love for the time being, so it would not be good to keep him hanging like this.
"Can I slap you?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Aki Tomoya steadily, and she looked as if she was really angry and wanted to slap him.
He clearly knew that was her feeling, but he still pretended to know nothing and refused.
Why didn't you reject her outright then?
If I reject her completely, wouldn't that make her give up the idea completely?
But now, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who feels like she has been fooled, can't forget this guy, Aki Tomoya.
If Tomoya Aki now reveals his true self, it would not be unreasonable to describe the previous events as a deception.
"If you ask me this question in person, would you be so kind as to refuse me?"
Aki Tomoya shrugged. Although he said that, if he really got slapped, especially by this senior who was a little angry, that slap would definitely not be pleasant.
Paying for the past is one thing, but to be honest, if possible, Aki Tomoya doesn't want to care about that kind of crappy past, and he even wants to curse it himself.
Is the second dimension good?
It's definitely good, it's something that makes people love and hate it! There's a reason why people love it!
But apart from the two-dimensional world, one should at least have some understanding of the history of his own country. Now he is ready for a fierce battle to catch up on the history of Japan!
Among the "legacy" that Tomoya Aki inherited, he felt that the most useful ones were probably the blog that could be used to expand his network, and the pile of collectibles that could be sold for a good price.
"Ethics-kun, no, Tomoya Aki-kun, I underestimated you."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes became sharp, as if she was looking at some disgusting insect.
An Yilun didn't know what kind of person she thought of him now, but it was likely that the good impression she had accumulated before had caused her to have some illusions because of the attitude he showed now.
To be honest, it's really unpleasant to suddenly feel like a scumbag.
Aki Tomoya turned his deep gaze towards Kasumigaoka Utaha and replied calmly, "What are you talking about, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"
"Before I answer this question, is Tomoya Aki a liar?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha retracted her previous gaze, calmed down, and asked again.
It would be a bit arbitrary to regard Tomoya Aki as a liar who is good at disguising himself. It would be better to listen to what this person has to say.
If everything in the past was just a disguise of this boy, Kasumigaoka Utaha would only feel that her feelings were not worth it. How sad it would be to pour her heart into a liar...
"Liar, that's an interesting way of saying it, Senior."
Aki Tomoya's eyes flashed, and he frowned slightly at the description of "liar".
This is a very easy question to analyze. Because the change was so fast and revealed an extraordinary determination, it can make people who know him feel unreal.
It only took one spring break for a staunch otaku to go from being a staunch otaku, and he hadn't even shown any signs of wanting to leave. A boy who was once so crazy about otaku culture suddenly became someone who was focused on studying for the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo. What would people who knew him think?
If the word "nature" is used to describe a person, then otaku is the biggest nature that Aki Tomoya has shown in the past, which can almost leave a deep-rooted impression on people.
What's more, what makes people feel unfamiliar about Tomoya Aki now is not just the otaku culture, but also many details that make people feel weird.
Take the parents for example, their reaction was more excited than anyone else.
But subjective consciousness will make those people think it is not true, but the objective fact is that the person standing in front of them is Tomoya Aki.
The objective facts have not changed, but the subjective consciousness feels strange, but it cannot be fully confirmed.
In the end, following the unity of subjective and objective, Tomoya Aki is still Tomoya Aki, the same person, but in different stages.
So it is easy for Akito Tomoya to understand Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction now.
"Akiro isn't a liar, he's just saying goodbye to the past. That's a more sentimental way of putting it. A more reasonable way of putting it is that people go through different stages. And to put it more philosophically, it only takes a second to come to terms with the past."
Aki Tomoya answered in this way. Although he had to pay for the past, he would not slander his past.
In fact, Tomoya Aki was consistent in the past and he is still the same now.
