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

Therefore, even though Aki Tomoya rejected Kasumigaoka Utaha, the two could still stay in touch.

But he and Kasumigaoka Utaha had only just met. After Kasumigaoka Utaha left this time, they would probably be strangers to each other, right?

Perhaps it was the possessiveness of men at play; although Iura Hide did not regret his earlier honesty, he still couldn't help feeling a little reluctant and melancholy.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been watching him, noticed the change in his expression, and her originally gloomy mood seemed to suddenly crack open like a small fissure on a frozen lake.

A ray of sunlight shone through the crack, causing a flicker of emotion to involuntarily cross her ruby-colored eyes, which were originally as cold as the bottom of a lake.

"What a lecherous fellow!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha inwardly snorted disdainfully, but as she turned to leave, her steps seemed inexplicably lighter.

After a moment's hesitation, out of politeness, Iura Hide escorted Kasumigaoka Utaha to the front door.

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained expressionless, not even glancing at him, completely ignoring him.

After Kasumigaoka Utaha left, Motoko appeared out from behind him as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Onii-chan, Kasumigaoka-nee has left?"

"Ah."

Iura Hide reached out and patted her head.

Looking at the cute and well-behaved Ji Zi in front of me, my original reluctance and melancholy dissipated a lot.

"Forget it, a harem is impossible. You already have a beautiful and cute girlfriend like Kitagawa Kaimu, so stop thinking about such things."

Iura Hide muttered to himself, quickly regaining his composure.

There's no point in thinking about something that's destined to be impossible, is there?

However, he was still a little curious about whether characters like Aki Tomoya, Megumi, and Eriri, the "loser," actually existed in this world.

Yeah, it's just pure curiosity.

"Why don't we ask around?"

"Um"

"This time, let's not go after that unreliable guy Yamada. Let's go after Sato instead!"

First, I gave the chapter I had just written this afternoon to Jiko, who has also become a loyal fan of "April".

Then, Iura Hide took out his phone and found Sato, a good friend from junior high school who later went on to Toyosaki High School, and asked him about Aki Tomoya and others.

"Aki Tomoya? Kato Megumi?"

"I haven't heard of those two names before, let me ask around for you."

"However, Eriri is one of the two most beautiful girls in our grade, on par with Kasumigaoka Utaha. She's quite famous in our school."

When Iura Hide saw Sato's reply, his emotions, which had just calmed down, were suddenly stirred up again.

"If Eriri exists, then Aki Tomoya must also exist, right? Then, will Kasumigaoka Utaha fall in love with Aki Tomoya?"

Iura Hide's mind involuntarily conjured up various memorable scenes of Kasumigaoka Utaha making easy mistakes in manga and anime, and he felt a sudden surge of irritation for no reason.

"Stop! Stop! Didn't I tell you not to overthink things? Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha still falls for Aki Tomoya, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Hideaki Iura quickly got up to make himself a cup of coffee, then hurried back to his desk to continue writing "April".

The images flashing through his mind and the melody that seemed to linger in his ears quickly calmed his heart back down.

It wasn't until evening, when his mother and Hoshino Ai returned home with their newly acquired school uniforms and textbooks, that he finally stretched and relaxed, feeling quite content.

"Tadaima, Ne-chan, Onii-chan."

"Oka ei ri!"

Looking at Hoshino Ai with a sweet smile on her face, Iura Shu couldn't help but smile as well, and his mood became even more cheerful.

"To celebrate Ai becoming a member of our family, let's have hot pot tonight!" Iura Hide said with a smile, hugging Ai in his arms and stroking her head as he suggested, making no attempt to hide his affection for her.

Of course, how other people perceive the normal relationship between these fierce girls is none of his business.

“Okay, then you take Xiao Ai and Ji Zi to the supermarket to buy groceries. We also need to buy some daily necessities for Xiao Ai.”

Hisako Iura agreed to Hide Iura's suggestion without hesitation. It has to be said that Ai Hoshino, whose eyes have already lit up with starlight, is already very likable, even if she has not yet evolved into the genius idol loved by countless people in the original story.

After just one afternoon of one-on-one contact, Hisako Iura fell in love with this adopted daughter.

So, to Iura Hide's surprise, Iura Hisako generously handed him ten Fukuzawa Yukichi cards.

He also made it clear that this was not Hoshino Ai's food expenses or pocket money, but only the cost of tonight's meal and some daily necessities, which made Iura Hide secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he knew his mother wasn't that kind of person, he was still somewhat worried that Hisako Iura would treat him differently.

"Let's head out now~"

Under the reddening sunset, on the quiet, deserted streets, Iura Shu, with Hoshino Ai in his left hand and Motoko in his right, was enjoying double the pleasure, completely forgetting about Kasumigaoka Utaha from before.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already returned home, locked herself in her room and stared blankly at the open computer screen for nearly an hour, but still couldn't type a single character in the document.

Scenes of her encounter with Hideki Iura, and the moving, piano-poem-like moments in "April," kept flashing through her mind, constantly stirring her heartstrings and making it impossible for her to calm down.

It's like being a fan of celebrities.

Some fans will immediately unfollow their idols after learning that they are in a relationship or getting married, but many other fans will choose to stay in this situation.

Of course, being in love is not exactly the same as being a fan of celebrities.

However, the feelings of admiration, attraction, longing, and love for someone still overlap to some extent.

For example, if there was a chance to date your favorite idol, I doubt many fans would choose to refuse, right?

Not to mention that Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality also has a bit of a yandere attribute.

Even though Iura Shu already has a girlfriend, and even though she has decided to stop now, this complex feeling that combines admiration, curiosity, and attraction is not something that can be erased so easily.

"I just want to understand how he created 'April.' I just want to learn from it so I can write a light novel that can surpass 'April.' Yes, that's it!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured to herself, but in the end, she couldn't resist picking up her phone and finding her friend in the student council.

Do you know Kaimu Kitagawa?

Chapter 102 Kitagawa Kaimu's Advantages

"Ah!"

"Huh? Haimeng, do you have a cold?"

"No, I guess it's because he misses me."

"Your skin has gotten much thicker lately, hasn't it?"

"Hehe~"

Inside the rustic restaurant, Kitagawa Kaimu held chopsticks in one hand and her phone in the other. Finally, she looked up from her phone screen and made a face at Osora.

"By the way, why did you decide to come to Shimokitazawa for soup curry today?" Ryuna asked casually.

Whether it was fate or the fact that this soup curry shop was too famous, the soup curry shop that the four of them came to today was the same one that Iura Shu brought Hoshino Ai and Pochi-chan to yesterday.

"I just happened to be shooting a magazine around here, and then I suddenly remembered it~" Kitagawa Kaimu explained with a grin, before turning her gaze back to her phone screen.

This made Sugaya Noiwa, who was standing to the side feeling inexplicably guilty and had been listening intently, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then why don't we invite your senior to come along?" Da Kong suggested with a 'ulterior motive'.

“No, my senior has a ‘family dinner’ tonight and is currently shopping for groceries at the supermarket with his two younger sisters,” Kitagawa Haimu explained without looking up.

"Eh? Two younger sisters?" Sugaya Noha was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. Oozora and Ryune, on the other hand, showed a hint of envy in their eyes.

Like most girls who become hot girls, their families have some problems.

"I'm so envious," Ryune couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Oozora sighed inwardly and then skipped over the topic.

"So what are you reading? The latest niche novels?"

"No way~" Kitagawa Haimu raised her head proudly and said with a smug look, "This is a light novel written by my senior, and it has already been submitted to a publisher and accepted. It will be published soon~"

Before he could finish speaking, the three of them exclaimed in unison.

"Eh?"

"A light novel written by Iura-senpai?"

"And it's going to be published very soon?"

"Really? Senior Iura writes light novels?"

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.

At that moment, Oozora suddenly thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha, the famous literary beauty from their school.

"Could this be the reason they met? Then they must share a common interest, right?"

Oozora frowned slightly, looking at Kitagawa Kaimu who was still smugly boasting about how amazing Iura Shu was, and became even more worried.

"Hey, Iura-senpai is so outstanding, shouldn't you be a little worried about him?"

Kitagawa Kaimu paused slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Worried? What are you worried about?"

"Of course I'm worried that Iura-senpai will be snatched away by someone else! He's handsome, popular, and seems to come from a good family. He can also write songs and light novels. A talented guy like that will definitely have a lot of girls chasing after him."

Oozora first listed Iura Shu's strengths, then complained to Kitagawa Kaimu, "And you, apart from being good-looking, are completely useless, okay?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"How am I completely useless? I clearly have a lot of strengths too!"

"Then please tell me your strengths~"

As Osora spoke, he deliberately made a "please" gesture, which made Kitagawa Kaimu even more annoyed.

But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that besides being pretty, she really didn't seem to have any other advantages.

Is your personality outgoing?

If this is considered an advantage, then far too many people possess it.
