Aki Tomoya met Hasima Iori when they were in junior high school. They had similar interests at that time, and no one would have thought that the real real-life person also had a deep understanding of the two-dimensional world.
At that time, it was not an exaggeration to describe their relationship as best friends or sworn brothers.
As for the reason for the breakup, it wasn't because the other party was a real person. Seriously speaking, it was because people with different ideals could not work together.
The contradictions and gaps caused by different ideas are the key to their breakup.
Later, when Iori Hashima was in junior high school, his family moved to Nagoya, and we haven't been in touch since then.
"Just thinking about being secretly observed by a man is creepy!"
After wrapping the figurine that was to be handed over to Iori Hatashima, Tomoya Aki returned to his computer desk and opened Instagram. Iori Hatashima, whose profile picture was a photo of Iori Hatashima in elementary school, left him many messages.
He originally thought that he would never have any contact with this guy again, but now Aki Tomoya discovered that his former best friend was still secretly observing him.
This kind of thing makes me sick just thinking about it!
Regardless of whether the other party admits it or not, Aki Tomoya confirmed that this guy is Iori Hatima.
I wonder how this guy has been doing over the years?
"Think carefully, this kind of person can thrive anywhere."
Aki Tomoya shook his head, thinking of Iori Hatima's abilities and outstanding appearance. This guy can get along well wherever he goes.
Instead of worrying about this former friend, he should think about how to let this big fat sheep take over all his treasures.
Perhaps, apart from this matter, there is nothing else to talk about with Iori Hasima.
After clicking on the message left by the other party, Akito Tomoya didn't even read it and replied perfunctorily: "I have already packed the figure. I will mail it to you after you pay the deposit."
Although they are both in Tokyo, the two can meet offline to trade.
However, the other party did not want to admit his identity, and Aki Tomoya did not want to meet him, so it would be better to go online.
After sending a message to Iori Hajima, Akito Tomo planned to log off.
But just when he was about to quit Instagram, someone came to him.
"This note, the deputy editor-in-chief of Busei-gawa..."
Knock knock knock——
After thinking of Machida Sonoko, Aki Tomoya slowly tapped his hands on the table, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Why would Deputy Editor-in-Chief Fuzuigawa, who is in charge of Kasumigaoka Utaha, come to see me at this time?
He had only met Machida Sonoko a few times, but it was precisely during those rare encounters that Aki Tomoya left a deep impression on this career woman.
I had the honor of meeting this deputy editor-in-chief in the light novel industry because of Kasumigaoka Utaha. In order to promote "Love Metronome", he specially set up a homepage to help promote it.
Perhaps the promotion was effective, and the sales of the novel increased. At that time, Tomoya Aki also met Sonoko Machida.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
After thinking about it, Aki Tomoya felt that it would be rude to ignore him, so he replied anyway.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Machida Sonoko, the other party asked directly what she thought about the previous email request.
"Email commission? What email? What commission?"
Aki Tomoya was confused. He didn't remember any interaction with Machida Sonoko recently.
After school started, he had been busy with tutoring and had no time to contact these people. He had no idea what the email commission that Machida Sonoko mentioned was.
"Didn't you receive it? That's strange. I did send an email request to your homepage..."
Post an email on his homepage?
That homepage has been blocked, what the hell!
Aki Tomoya took a deep breath. After hearing this, he had some impression.
He did receive a lot of emails, but except for those that were interested in receiving his treasures, all other emails were considered "spam" by Aki Tomoya.
After posting the suggestive tweets announcing his preparation for exams and retirement from home, Akito Tomoya knew that many people were concerned about why he made such a decision, and he had answered them repeatedly, so he didn't feel the need to reply one by one to those who still had doubts about him.
"I'm sorry, I'm currently preparing for an exam, so if you have any requests, please find someone else."
Aki Tomoya replied helplessly.
It's all clearly written on his homepage. I'm preparing for the exam now and don't have time to think about other things. I don't know whether Machida Sonoko saw it or pretended not to see it.
"Really? That's so sudden!"
Machida Sonoko sighed like this, expressing her surprise with words.
Her response seemed as if she really didn't know about this.
In Aki Tomoya's opinion, the smooth development afterwards should be that after the deputy editor-in-chief of Busei Kawaichi, Machida Sonoko, learns that he is currently preparing for the exam and has no time to consider the so-called commission, she will probably say a few polite words and then find other people.
However, the next piece of news from Machida Sonoko made Aki Tomoya frown.
"But, could you please listen to me a little more about this commission?"
Perhaps because she thought that Aki Tomoya had not yet understood the content of the commission, Machida Sonoko wanted to discuss it at this time.
Aki Tomoya laughed, angrily.
However, in order to show that he had good manners, he felt that he should still pretend to refuse despite being moved.
After replying to the other party and asking for details of the request, Aki Tomoya finally understood why Machida Sonoko was looking for him.
It was about Kasumigaoka Utaha's new work, and they planned to conduct a question-and-answer interview, but they couldn't find a suitable interviewer.
So in order to complete the interview smoothly, Machida Sonoko thought of Aki Tomoya.
Aki Tomoya curled his lips. He had been entangled with that senior because of Kasumigaoka Utaha's debut work "Love Metronome", so how could he be involved with her new work now!
"I'm very excited, but unfortunately, I'm in the process of preparing for the exam and really can't spare the time!"
The first few words made Machida Sonoko's mood soar, but after seeing the following words, her mood plummeted like a mountain.
Machida Sonoko remembered that Aki Tomoya was a die-hard fan of their book author, Kasumi Shiko. Shouldn't she have agreed to something like this right away?!
But the current result gives Machida Sonoko a headache.
"Is there really no room for negotiation? This new work interview is really important! And Aki-kun knows that Kasumi Shiko-sensei's personality is very troublesome!"
Machida Sonoko, who still refuses to give up, truly demonstrates the extent to which an editor can persist for the author's future.
Aki Tomoya pushed his glasses up, and through the reflective lenses, his eyes were filled with impatience and a hint of anger.
"It's truly touching that the editor is thinking about the author's future. That author is truly ungrateful for having such a good life. I understand the situation, but there's nothing I can do to help. I also have my own future to consider, and I have my own life to live. I hope Ms. Machida contacts me in the future because she needs a listening ear, not because of any business matters. I'm just a student preparing for exams right now."
