Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"But it would be best if the two of you could still get along as amicably as before."

Suddenly, Rika Maejima asked Hina Watanabe out of curiosity:

"So, Hina-senpai, what exactly do you like about Kamishiro-kun?"

Watanabe Hina was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't hide anything and explained frankly:

"It's less about how much I like the place and more about the sense of security it gives me."

Chitanda Mirai was also somewhat curious:

"A sense of security?"

After briefly recalling her encounter with Shiro Kaede, Watanabe Hina's elegant face lit up with a hint of relief as she explained:

"To explain this, we have to start with my fear of performing."

"Rika probably hasn't heard about me, but she should know about it in the future."

Rika Maejima asked in confusion:

"Performance phobia?"

"what is this?"

"And I remember Hina-senpai, didn't you just win a piano performance competition not long ago?"

"How could someone have this kind of phobia?"

Afterwards, Hina Watanabe briefly explained the situation to Rika Maejima.

Recalling those past moments, a hint of love welled up in Hina Watanabe's eyes:

"I think I fell completely in love with Kamishiro-kun during the opening ceremony."

"Without him, I don't think I would have been able to get through that time. I might have even collapsed on stage due to the pressure."

When Maejima Rika learned that Watanabe-senpai was under so much pressure because her parents were pianists, she was surprised.

And at that time, Kamishiro-kun actually went to his senior's performance?

Even the senior only felt at ease because of Kamishiro-kun's presence, and then performed exceptionally well?

this.

Chitanda Mirai also heard for the first time that Watanabe Hina had completely fallen in love with Kamishiro Hakufu at the opening ceremony.

It just so happened to be this time.

Chitanda Mirai was a little unhappy about it and didn't want Kamishiro-kun to help people so casually.

Given his circumstances, even if it's unintentional, it might still lead to unexpected success.

That's exactly what happened to Hina-senpai!

Rika Maejima asked somewhat gossipy:

"When are you planning to confess, Hina-senpai?"

Chitanda Mirai looked at her with great curiosity:

"I am also very curious!"

Hina Watanabe reached out and gently covered her slightly flushed face:

"My answer depends on the situation."

Rika Maejima sighed softly:

"All right."

She was even thinking that if she just fooled her, Watanabe-senpai might just confess her feelings.

Then I'll definitely be rejected by Kamishiro-kun.

After all, Kamishiro-kun said that all he wanted to do during this period was study!

Unexpectedly, Hina-senpai didn't have that plan.

Now that Watanabe-senpai is saying this, does that mean she's planning to wait until Kamishiro-kun wants to find a girlfriend before confessing her feelings?

Rika Maejima felt like crying.

I felt like I had become a stepping stone for Hina-senpai.

Because of his confession to Kamishiro-kun, he was indirectly telling the other girls that he only wanted to study right now.

So that's why Hina-senpai chose not to confess so quickly?

Or are they planning to wait for the right opportunity?

Woooooooo~

o (╥﹏╥) o

Confessing your feelings too early was definitely not a good choice.

Chitanda Mirai also guessed Watanabe Hina's thoughts.

I can't help but sigh that the girls who still like Kamishiro-kun are all quite intelligent.

Are they all just waiting for an opportunity?

From this perspective, it seems we still need to find other ways to overtake others.

Otherwise, what if Kamishiro-kun really said he wanted to find a girlfriend?

By then it might be too late.

If he said that, a bunch of girls would probably confess their feelings to him that very day.

Chitanda Mirai had no idea whether she could win against Watanabe Hina and Maejima Rika at that time.

Hina Watanabe has the best overall qualities.

But Rika Maejima wasn't much worse.

Pear Blossom Sauce could be said to only have poor grades; she excels in other areas as well.

Especially with her personality, even she herself is afraid that Kamishiro-kun will be attacked by Rika-chan's direct attacks, and thus actually agree to Rika-chan's request.

Junko Urahara, seeing them talking about this, pouted and asked:

"Didn't we say we were going to study?"

"Why is it only Junko who's learning?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

I just think I should focus on studying first.

Futaba Publishing House.

It was a little after 8 p.m.

Shiro Shiro noticed that Igarashi Chinatsu had been reading his manuscript for three hours.

However, seeing Igarashi Chinatsu engrossed in her story, he did not make a sound to disturb her.

During this time, he was not idle. Instead, he silently looked at the literature book in his hand and accumulated experience as a writer.

"Woooooo~"

As Igarashi Chika looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng's manuscript, she inexplicably began to cry and sob.

Despite crying, her eyes remained fixed on the manuscript.

When Shiro Shiro discovered that Igarashi Chinatsu had cried, he was somewhat bewildered.

Although he knew he had the skill of "emotional rendering," which allowed readers to feel the emotions of the characters.

Bai Feng thought it was normal for ordinary readers to cry.

After all, he emphasized this aspect of emotion, wanting readers to feel the tragedy within.

But no one expected that it would make even an editor who has read many novels cry.

Because most novel editors should be able to review texts from a more detached perspective.

It's like a teacher reading a student's novel; no matter how well it's written, they'll still read it with a critical eye.

It's now quite clear that Chinatsu Igarashi has fully immersed herself in the role.

Shiro Shiro felt that this person looked relatively young, and thought that perhaps he was a newly hired editor, which was why he looked like that.

After some time had passed.

Chinatsu Igarashi finished reading the novel written by Shiro Kaede Kamishiro.

However, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

She was deeply moved and felt an indescribable pain.

She seemed to be able to transcend the barriers of words and truly feel the deep and passionate emotions that the female protagonist had for the male protagonist in the novel, and understand why she would do those things without hesitation.

The story was initially heading in a positive direction, with everything seemingly moving towards a bright future.

In Igarashi Chinatsu's imagination, even if the heroine eventually dies from illness, such an ending might be easier to accept.

However, what she found hard to accept was that, just as the female protagonist learned of the male protagonist's feelings and was filled with anticipation, she unexpectedly lost her life at the hands of a random killer.

Igarashi Chinatsu could deeply feel the despair and helplessness the female protagonist felt at the moment she was stabbed by the murderer.

She certainly never expected that her life would end so abruptly.

Tears welled up in Chinatsu Igarashi's eyes like a spring. She choked back sobs, turned her gaze to Shirafumi, and asked with endless sorrow and confusion, "Waaah~ Why did you have to kill her? You could have given her a happy ending, wouldn't that have been better?"

As she spoke, she took out the pack of tissues that Shiro Kaede had given her earlier and began wiping away her tears.

When Shiro Kaede saw this, he was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't explain. He simply asked:

"Ms. Igarashi, what do you think of my novel?"

"Can the manuscript be approved?"

Upon hearing the news, Igarashi was clearly still reeling from her grief.
