It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

The problem is, does he dare to tell us that he has a girlfriend?

Knowing that Kasumigaoka Utaha still held leverage over him, he obviously didn't dare to say it!

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a surge of satisfaction seeing his speechless and frustrated expression.

Okay, I'm not pretending anymore, she's laid her cards on the table.

That sweet and cute girl image isn't her style at all. So what if she likes Iura Shu? Does that conflict with her sharp wit and sarcastic remarks?

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt completely refreshed and clear-headed after rediscovering herself.

Then she picked up the coffee that had long since gone cold, stirred it gracefully, and deliberately put on an innocent expression before continuing, "By the way, Iura-kun mentioned at the publishing house last time that you stay up very late every day writing, right? You know, staying up late is really bad for your health. Sitting for long periods and staying up late every day, Iura-kun really should go to the hospital for a proper checkup~"

Thank you!

This time, it was Shuichi Iura's turn to be speechless; his forehead was practically covered in smacks.

To be honest, if he didn't already have a girlfriend, he would definitely have Kasumigaoka Utaha personally verify whether there was anything wrong with his 'body'.

However, when he thought of Kitagawa Kaimu, he decisively dismissed the idea.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Kasumigaoka Utaha, he knew very well that this girl was deliberately being sarcastic towards him, so he didn't intend to indulge Kasumigaoka Utaha, and raised his chin accordingly.

He wanted to tell Kasumigaoka Utaha that even if Kasumigaoka Utaha had something on him, she wouldn't be able to easily control him.

"Hey, you've finished watching, right? If you're done, go home early!"

After thinking about it, Iura Hide decided to remove the last part, "Don't disturb me while I'm writing," since it would be impolite, right?

Since Kasumigaoka Utaha has already read "April", there's no reason for her to stay any longer, right?

"As long as the desired result is achieved in the end, the process doesn't matter," Iura Hide silently comforted himself.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha put down her coffee cup, walked back to his side, bent down, placed her hands on the desk, and looked at the computer screen in front of her.

"I haven't finished watching it yet. There's still a newly updated episode I haven't watched."

Because of the posture and angle, Iura Shu's gaze could just pass through the neckline that was so close to him, and see the towering mountain peaks and the deep, narrow valley.

If those pathetic Japanese light novel protagonists saw that breathtaking expanse of white, they'd probably all get nosebleeds.

However, a hint of disdain flashed in Iura Hide's eyes.

Based on his understanding of Kasumigaoka Utaha, he was 100% certain that Kasumigaoka Utaha was doing this on purpose, trying to tease him.

But he's a man who's eaten meat before, okay? You think you can embarrass him with this little bit of perk? What a joke!

That's right, Kasumigaoka Utaha did it on purpose, so she was stunned when she noticed Iura Hide's gaze out of the corner of her eye.

"what's the situation?"

"Disdain!?"

"This guy looked at me fiercely, and he actually gave me a disdainful look!?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was immediately at a loss.

Although she doesn't say it, she is actually quite confident in her stunning figure.

After all, she had never seen a girl of similar age with a better figure than herself.

Even though this is a crossover anime world, resources like big breasts and long legs are not uncommon, but those who can reach the level of Kasumigaoka Utaha are indeed few and far between.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't care at all.

But if it were Iura Hide, a guy she's somewhat attracted to and cares about, even if he were indifferent, let alone dismissive, it would still make her feel annoyed.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

Immediately afterwards, Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth, her head spinning, and to Iura Hide's astonishment, she simply sat on his lap.

"Let's see if you still look down on me now!" Kasumigaoka Utaha thought resentfully.

However, the next second, she and Iura Hide were both completely stunned.

Unlike just admiring it, it was because Iura Hide had eaten meat that the moment Kasumigaoka Utaha's completely different, bouncy body parts—unlike those of Motoko and Hoshino Ai—pressed against him, the restlessness that had accumulated in his body over the past two days was like a spark falling into a gasoline drum, instantly igniting it.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was having such close contact with a boy for the first time, never expected herself to be so masochistic, and she certainly didn't expect Iura Hide to have such a strong reaction.

A strange, electric-like sensation instantly coursed through her body, causing her to tremble involuntarily and let out a shameful sound that stirred the imagination. She then collapsed completely into Iura Hide's arms, her breathing becoming rapid.

Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously looked up at Iura Hide. The moment their eyes met, the two, whose minds were blank, were drawn to each other as if by a mysterious magnetic force.

Chapter 101 Utaha Kasumigaoka's Loss

This truly is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's soft lips were like the most delicious candy in the world, making Iura Hide unable to resist savoring them and becoming fascinated by them.

Unlike Ai Hoshino.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was a bit awkward and clumsy at first, as a fan of a niche anime, game, and light novel, she quickly mastered the relevant skills and began to take the initiative to attack Iura Hide.

Until Iura Hide's restless hands parted the clouds and climbed the mountain peak.

The intense stimulation made her instinctively grab Iura Hide's hand, and her blank mind finally cleared up a little.

"It seems like Iura-kun watches a lot of those risqué anime, huh? You're quite skilled at it." Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed, trying to suppress her shyness, and said while panting, trying to appear calm.

"But not yet, you know. After all, I'm not some kind of 'gyaru' or 'yūga ni' (girl who loves dating). If Iura-kun wants to take things further, he should at least confess first, right?"

Despite possessing an elegant and quiet temperament, she had a mature and sophisticated voice. Combined with the current scene and the wonderful experience she had just had, let alone a typical Japanese light novel male protagonist, even if it were Shirogane Miyuki, he might not be able to resist and would surrender immediately.

But these words, when they reached Iura Hide's ears, were like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, chilling him to the bone, freezing his once hot and restless blood.

confession?

Is Kasumigaoka Utaha serious, or is she just teasing him?

Even when he was serious, he

"Well, hot girls aren't as bad as you say, are they?"

Iura Hide's eyes darted away, and he instinctively tried to change the subject.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha, a literary girl, keenly sensed that something was wrong. They couldn't let Iura Shu back down like one of those cliché cowardly male protagonists after they had already gone that far.

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha's dissatisfaction mixed with suspicion, Iura Hide was also struggling internally. After all, this was Kasumigaoka Utaha!

Despite being a supporting character in the original work, she later became so popular that she even had her own spin-off manga.

If he simply hides the fact that he has a girlfriend and confesses to Kasumigaoka Utaha, he might actually be able to win her over.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha often makes surprising remarks, based on his understanding of her, he shouldn't be joking about something like this.

But when he thought of Kitagawa Kaimu, he finally took a deep breath and chose to confess.

"I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend."

Kasumigaoka Utaha realized something was wrong the moment she heard the words "I'm sorry".

Having already reached that point, there's obviously not much reason for them to say "I'm sorry."

As a literary girl who had read countless romance light novels and comics, she almost immediately guessed the truth.

But when Iura Shu said that he had a girlfriend, it was like a bolt from the blue, and her pretty face, which still had a faint blush, turned pale instantly.

"What did you say? You already have a girlfriend?"

"Um"

"Who is she? When did this happen? I've never heard of her before."

"Just a few days ago, she was... Kitagawa Kaimu, a first-year student at your school." Iura Hide hesitated for a moment before telling her Kitagawa Kaimu's name.

"From our school? Kitagawa Kaimu is that famous hot girl from the first year!?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but pause again, staring intently into Iura Hide's eyes, seemingly trying to find a trace of a lie.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed a moment later.

Iura Hide's eyes were filled with guilt and remorse, without a trace of lying.

At this moment, saying it was heartbreaking might be an exaggeration, but Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart was truly aching. It was the first time she had admired a boy so much, the first time she had felt so attracted to a boy, and they had even reached the point of kissing by accident, but unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend.

Even though she was still sitting on Iura Hide's lap, there seemed to be an invisible abyss separating them, making it difficult for them to get close.

“No wonder Iura-kun was so skilled just now!” Kasumigaoka Utaha said expressionlessly, her voice slightly hoarse, but her dark red eyes flashed with a hint of amusement and self-mockery.

"By the way, Iura-kun doesn't seem to come to our school very often, does he?"

"Eh-do. Let me guess."

"Could it be that Iura-kun met Kitagawa-kun while working part-time?"

As Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke, she jumped off Iura Hide and calmly straightened her clothes.

The departure of that warm, elastic touch made Iura Hide instinctively feel a little reluctant, and the fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha could guess how he and Kitagawa Kaimu met made him break out in a cold sweat.

God knows why these girls have such sharp intuition in these areas; they're like some kind of elementary school student who's about to die—it's terrifying.

"Could it be because this is a crossover anime world?" Iura Hide thought to himself, nodding awkwardly and feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

"That's such a cliché plot," Kasumigaoka Utaha remarked coldly, but a closer look at her eyes revealed a clear sense of resentment and disappointment.

Why do novel and unique encounters lose out to those clichéd plots?

Just like the light novels she wrote, even though she put so much effort into crafting every plot point to make them more novel and interesting, the final result still couldn't compare to the 'clichéd' story written by Iura Hide.

"No! My 'Love Metronome' will definitely surpass 'April'. Even if 'Love Metronome' can't beat 'April', I will definitely write a better romance light novel than 'April'!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth in resentment, secretly making a decision in her heart. Just thinking about "April" gave her an urge and reluctance to continue reading.

Unfortunately, her pride prevents her from doing so, at least not yet.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave."

After tidying her clothes, Kasumigaoka Utaha suppressed her reluctance, unsure whether it was for "April" or for Iura Hide, and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll take you—"

"no need!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha refused without hesitation. Her cold tone and gaze made Iura Hide sigh silently.

Unlike Aki Tomoya in the original story, Aki Tomoya had already known Kasumigaoka Utaha for a year before meeting Kasumigaoka Megumi. They went from being a fanatical fan and idol to having an ambiguous relationship as friends.
