Anime Heart

Many high-achieving students use this as motivation, propelling them forward step by step.

Like now, she has been studying for quite a while, and listening to Kousei's piano playing is the best way for her to relax.

However, after enjoying it for a while, Tsubaki Sawabe lowered her head and started working on her workbook again.

Because of club activities, she was somewhat distracted from her studies, so she needed to work extra hard to improve her grades.

We can't keep indulging in Kousei's 'gentle embrace' forever!

Kousei didn't seem surprised by Sawabe Tsubaki's situation, as if they had made a special agreement.

Seeing this, Arima Sento felt relieved. He had been worrying about their relationship, but little did he know that their relationship had already progressed further without his knowledge.

In that case, it would be better for me to back out; the time we spend together is most vulnerable to interference from others.

Arima Kenjiro, who has experienced having his time with Kaori Miyazono disturbed, deeply understands this point.

Sawabe Tsubaki was working on her workbook, and Arima Kousei was playing the piano intently. Neither of them noticed Arima Kento's departure.

However, after Arima Kento left, the atmosphere in the music room became even more gentle.

Arima Kousei accompanied Sawabe Tsubaki with his music, driven by a feeling that he himself was not quite sure about.

As usual, Tsubaki Sawabe accepted it. She was distressed that her relationship with Kousei could not go any further, but she did not know that their relationship had gradually become much closer without her realizing it.

Gently closing the door, Ma Xiandong breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost time for his video call with Xiao Xun, and it was just in time for him to come out now.

Back in his room, Yu Ma Xian Dong turned on his computer as usual and waited for the time to arrive.

,,,,,,

Saturday morning—no, it should be Saturday morning, because it was almost nine o'clock—but there was still an unidentified creature wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon on the large bed in Ma Xiandong's room.

Sleeping is all about comfort, so Ma Xiandong's sleeping posture is unrestricted. As long as he's comfortable, he can fall asleep however he wants.

Of course, he is a normal person, and lying flat or on his side is the most comfortable position for him.

Wrapped up like a cocoon like this is out of a wicked sense of humor and a determination to resist the Demon King, because he knows that Arima Kousei will definitely come to call him for breakfast at some point.

If you can't sleep in on a Saturday, a day off, what's the point of life?

Of course, this is also partly because he stayed up too late writing last night.

Knowing he didn't have to go to school the next day, he wanted to write more so he could save up drafts.

Having a stockpile of chapters allows one to remain calm in the face of adversity. If he had thirty chapters in reserve, he wouldn't be afraid of any holidays.

During the holidays, you can have as much fun and enjoy yourself as you like!

I avoid writing more words whenever possible; it's an energy-saving habit I developed in a past life. Even now, I haven't been able to break it.

Although Ma Xiandong does have about thirty chapters in his manuscript, these chapters no longer belong to him.

He had already reserved all the saved chapters for the bonus chapters he had promised to give as rewards. When the book was published, he had to release all the saved chapters to fulfill his promise.

The only drafts that truly belong to him are what he has written so far, at most five chapters.

In order to have a vacation to play to his heart's content in the future, Arima Kento is now trying his best to accumulate manuscripts.

For him, writing is not a burden; on the contrary, it is his greatest hobby, with gaming only ranking second.

I enjoy writing, and I love the characters that appear in my writing every day. I use words to tell others about their lives; it's a wonderful experience.

"Xian Dong, are you up? I'm coming in!" Just as Xian Dong had expected, Arima Kousei's voice appeared at the door.

Click!

Even if Arima Kento locks the door from the inside while he sleeps at night, it won't work. As a long-term resident of this place, Arima Kousei has spare keys to every room.

Arima Kousei was wearing an apron and his hands were a little oily. He was making food, so this was normal.

Looking at his younger brother, who was acting like a stubborn dog, Kousei Arima realized that words alone wouldn't work and that he would have to resort to some special methods.

Arima Kousei walked step by step to the bedside and stretched out his oily hands toward Arima Kento's face.

Although he was completely wrapped in the blanket, Arima Kento still left his head sticking out so he could breathe.

But precisely because of this, it gave Arima Kousei an excellent opportunity. Only his head was exposed, while the rest of his body was still bound. Wasn't that just like being tied up?

If Arima Kento still doesn't agree to get up, then he won't be able to avoid Arima Kousei's 'malice' and have a pair of oily hands smear his handsome face.

"Hey, bro! Let's talk this out! I'll get up, okay?"

With his eyes half-closed, Arima Kento saw a pair of 'evil hands' coming towards him. He immediately rolled away, letting the blanket untie him, thus escaping Arima Kousei's clutches.

Clearly, Arima Sento just wanted to stay in bed. If he were really sleepy, he would never get up unless Arima Kousei slapped him.

Arima Kousei realized this, which is why he came up with this method to wake his younger brother up for breakfast.

Fortunately, although Arima Sento is a bit grumpy when he wakes up, he can't bring himself to do it with people he's close to, so he just obediently gets up as promised.

After eating the healthy breakfast prepared by Arima Kosei, Arima Kento's gloom finally dissipated.

Indeed, a delicious breakfast can help people forget many troubles and provide enough energy for the day's work.

At least, Yu Ma Xian Dong is ready to head to his computer and start typing.

Thank you to reader 'DaXiaoMiHu' for the 100-coin donation. By the way, the anime related to Black Cat isn't what you might imagine; it's actually the result of my wild imagination. No one in the original work owns a cat; it's just a trait I added. And the name "Black Charcoal" is also a tribute to a certain great author, "Back to the Past and Becoming a Cat"—that book is fantastic!!

Chapter 118 Arima Kousei's Heart Fluttering (Please Subscribe!)

After finishing breakfast, Arima Kousei told Arima Hitoshi and then went back to his room.

He decided to accumulate more drafts and was able to put his ideas into practice; his execution ability is quite good.

Kousei simply reminded his younger brother not to sit in front of the computer for too long, and to take care of his eyes while writing, so that he wouldn't become nearsighted like him.

Arima Kento waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

He himself is very concerned about eye care. There are so many people around him who wear glasses, and this reminder is deeply ingrained in his memory.

Of course, the most profound memory is of my past life. Although I was not bad looking, I looked like an ordinary passerby when I wore glasses.

Even the incredibly cute and beautiful Kaori Miyazono only truly shines after letting her long hair down and putting on contact lenses.

Arima Sento had no intention of hiding himself, nor did he need to. Apart from his family and friends, not many people knew him.

Hiding oneself before one has even begun to shine is something Arima Kento says he can't do.

Arima Kousei was relieved to see that although his younger brother's promises were perfunctory, he was quite thorough in his work.

Then, he straightened his clothes, took some money from where he kept his money at home, put it in his pocket, and put it away.

Without disturbing Arima Kento, Kousei quietly went out by himself.

Arima Kento saw Kousei leaving from his room but didn't think much of it. He knew that Arima Kousei would be going to Aunt Seto's place this morning.

Although it's Saturday, Kousei Arima has already taken a day off, so he has to go to class today, even though it's his day off.

However, the class time is not very long, and it will end at the latest at 1 p.m., after which Kousei Arima will be free to do whatever he wants.

Arima Kento regained his composure and began to focus on writing.

If Kousei doesn't come back at noon, he'll go to Tsubaki's house next door for lunch; he's too lazy to cook for himself.

Although I still have a lot of money, ordering takeout is a bit of a hassle.

As Kousei Arima sat in the taxi on his way to his teacher's house, a series of thoughts kept swirling in his mind.

Yesterday, the teacher mentioned that a new student would be joining him for lessons today. I wonder if that person will be easy to get along with, and what their character is like.

However, a girl probably wouldn't have a bad temper!

Her name seems to be 'Nagi Aizawa', which is a pretty name. She'll probably be a very cute girl!

She seems to be only in the first year of junior high school this year, so as her senior and mentor, I should help her a lot.

Hmm, why does the surname Xiangzuo sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before? Or is it the surname of someone I know?

Well, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!

Arima Kousei gave up because they had arrived at Aunt Seto's house and he needed to get off the bus to pay the fare.

After opening the car door and paying the bill, Kousei Arima walked straight to the security door and gently pressed the doorbell.

Ring ring... Click!

It opened almost instantly, and a cute blonde girl with twin tails came into Kousei's view.

Her golden hair was tied into symmetrical short ponytails, she had big eyes, a small nose, cherry-colored lips, and a touch of red on her cheeks.

His bright eyes were fixed on Kousei Arima's face, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, as if he was thinking of some strange and wonderful prank.

Arima Kousei was stunned. If his hair were down, and a little longer, draped over his shoulders, his smile would be even more radiant and bright.

That would be a miniature version of Kaori Miyazono!

The first love, which had been dormant, seemed to be revitalized with a faint breath of life at this moment.

Arima Kousei didn't know how he greeted the girl. By the time he came to his senses, Aunt Seto and her daughter were already in front of him.

After pulling the stunned Arima Kousei into the room, Aizana Nagi finally showed signs of getting angry, because her self-introduction was completely useless!

This guy, whom my brother considers his biggest rival, seems like a complete idiot! I can't even muster the interest to tease him.

On the contrary, it was because of this fool that she showed her anger so clearly for once.

Arima Kousei blinked and asked in confusion, "What did you just say?"

"Hmph! You can't even understand what people are saying, how rude!" Aiza Nagi said without any politeness; she was also the type who couldn't stand being wronged.

"Sorry, sorry! I was just stunned by your appearance. You look a lot like a friend of mine!" Arima Kousei apologized and explained.

Hearing this, Nagi's expression improved somewhat. She was happy to be praised for her appearance by someone her brother valued.

However, because she was still somewhat unhappy, she couldn't express her inner thoughts.

"Alright, I'll introduce myself again. Listen carefully, and don't forget!" Seeing that Hiroko Seto's face looked a little unpleasant, Aizana Nagi quickly tried to salvage the atmosphere.

Hiroko Seto undoubtedly favored Kousei, so she didn't want to see him embarrassed, even though he was just a little girl.

“My name is Aiza Nagi. I am thirteen years old and a first-year student at Kurumigaoka Junior High School. I greatly admire Mr. Seto and became his student just yesterday.”

"I hope to get along well with my fellow student, Arima Kousei. Please continue to guide me in the future!"
