why not?

The answer is simple.

Because she is Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha will not desert her post.

They won't be perfunctory.

If they escape.

She is no longer Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Just like Kato Megumi said.

What remains is just an imposter.

“But…” Kasumigaoka Utaha trembled, “But… I can’t do it… I can’t escape… and I can’t write it… I don’t know how to write what she wants!”

“Since you don’t know how to write it,” Kobayashi Sora said, “that means you can write it however you want, right?”

“For example…” Kato Megumi recalled Akane Kousaka’s last words, “the one she mentioned?”

“But that would destroy all the current foundations, and most of the plot would have to be changed.” Kasumigaoka Utaha knew the difficulty all too well. She preferred a writing style that used foreshadowing and intricate, interwoven storylines, but this style also made revisions extremely difficult. “Serious inconsistencies can easily arise in the plot, and to make significant changes to the script in a short time while ensuring the logical flow of the story…”

Kato Megumi blinked. "This situation sounds familiar."

"It seems like the same situation we needed to solve last time," Kobayashi Sora smiled. "It won't be difficult to do it again."

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for a moment, "Even if you can solve the logical problems, the incongruity brought about by drastic changes..."

“This situation sounds familiar,” Kato Megumi smiled. “I feel like I can be of some help.”

“You guys…” Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of something else, “Aren’t you also in charge of the Star Cluster’s Superstar project?”

"The Superstar project is a long-term project," Kato Megumi reminded her.

"It's unlikely to see significant results in a short period of time; we're still in the initial stages, and the workload isn't very heavy," Kobayashi Sora added.

"Moreover, the focus of our work is on the star cluster members, and we are doing a supporting role," Kato Megumi further clarified.

"Don't underestimate my work efficiency." Kobayashi Sora was quite confident in this point. "Otherwise, do you think that Iori, that guy who's always firing shots, could handle so much work by himself?"

When Akane Akasaka was still the president, most of the work was done by Sora Kobayashi.

Kato Megumi concluded, "Kasumi Eri isn't just Kasumi Utako and Kashiwagi Eri."

These two were singing in unison...

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes, and it took her a while to open them again.

The previous confusion and helplessness were replaced by a stronger, even terrifying, fighting spirit. "You said it yourself, so don't end up not being able to take both sides into account."

"We must grasp both aspects firmly." Kobayashi Sora clenched his fist. "A piece of cake."

Kato Megumi glanced to the side, "You bad guy."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "???"

“I’m starting to regret it…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gaze was unfriendly.

Then, he laughed.

Is Kasumigaoka Utaha really not strong enough?

it's not true.

If she were truly not skilled enough, Akane Kousaka wouldn't have sought her out.

Even if it's just to help Eriri, you could let someone else handle the important scripts and have Kasumigaoka Utaha assist.

But it didn't.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has the ability.

However... she is not yet strong enough to meet Akane Kousaka's high demands.

Eriri pears have their own advantages.

As an illustrator, Akane Akasaka can fully utilize her drawing skills while coordinating other content.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha is fighting alone; she needs to control the script by herself.

Now, with Kobayashi Sora in control of the situation and Kato Megumi eliminating any sense of incongruity, things are much more harmonious.

Kasumigaoka Utaha can also, like Eriri, fully utilize her own strengths, such as her complex psychology that is as deep as an abyss and her ability to control details that bind the reader like a spider web.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora are able to help Kasumigaoka Utaha improve her work.

However, this is contingent on Kasumigaoka Utaha having the courage to create new content.

Therefore, a strong stimulus must be used to bring back Kasumigaoka Utaha, the icy older sister from Toyonosaki Academy, who was driven to isolation by Akane Kousaka.

"Let her see..." Kasumigaoka Utaha returned like lightning, "Kasumigaoka Eri's true strength!"

Chapter 367 A Gift of Fate

"Megumi and I will arrange the schedule for the rest of the time." Kobayashi Sora pointed to a spot not far away. "You and Eriri tell her about our plans."

“Mm.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded.

Not far after Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora walked, they saw Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, who had been standing opposite each other, embracing each other.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's shoulders trembled, and faint sobs could be heard.

Even the aloof senior needs time like this sometimes.

I just didn't expect her to show that kind of side to Eriri.

Kobayashi Sora originally thought that after he and Kato Megumi left, Kasumigaoka Utaha would cry for a while first, and then call Eriri.

"That's probably it," Kato Megumi thought for a moment. "If I cried before, it would have been a sign of weakness. But if I cry now, it's more like a release before a decisive battle, that kind of feeling?"

"I see." Kobayashi Sora recalled Kato Megumi's earlier remarks. "Speaking of which, safety words and such..."

"Don't say it."

"Eh?"

-

Once you decide to get involved, you can't be as relaxed as before.

Kobayashi Sora quickly reviewed the existing script and formulated a corresponding plan.

First, using Eriri's completed work as a starting point, Kasumigaoka Utaha expands it into segments of the story and decides on the direction of the main plot. Then, the various routes interspersed within are sorted out by Kobayashi Sora, and finally, Kato Megumi reviews any incongruous parts. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kobayashi Sora then make further revisions.

In this way, Kato Megumi doesn't need to participate in the early stages and can be responsible for the research activities on the Star Cluster side. After the research is completed, while she reviews the materials, Kobayashi Sora can coordinate the work of various departments of the Superstar project and prepare for the subsequent activities.

"So..." Kobayashi Sora tapped the table lightly, "I need a general direction now. Which direction do you want to revise the script in?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the laptop screen. "Didn't she tell me to treat Fernand as her?"

Eriri's eyes lit up. "That kind of ruthless and incredibly powerful villain?"

“Although I don’t agree with this view,” Kobayashi Sora shrugged, “that’s certainly how she is perceived by people in the industry.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. "That would be too boring. What's the loss of such a heinous villain?"

"What else?" Eriri frowned, then seemed to realize something. "Are you... going to write her as a character who's single-mindedly trying to save the world but isn't understood by anyone?"

Although she dislikes Akane Kousaka, Eriri has to admit that Akane Kousaka is passionate about her work.

Industry insiders don't understand why Akane Akasaka is working so hard, wondering if she has some big plan.

However, after spending so much time together, Eriri knew very well that Akane Kousaka simply wanted to create good works.

To create good works at any cost.

That's it.

However, such people are recognized as outliers in the industry.

It's kind of funny.

But I couldn't laugh.

"Isn't that the industry's opinion too?" Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head. "Eriri, as an otaku, what do you think of her?"

"..." Eriri remained silent for a long while before slowly revealing her true feelings, "God."

Not being an otaku after all, Kasumigaoka Utaha, despite having some understanding of the matter, didn't expect Eriri's evaluation of Akane Kousaka to be so high. "What?"

“Senior, you’re not an otaku, so you don’t know much about this,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “The name Akane Akasaka is a reassuring name for otaku.”

In an industry where outsourcing modifications, shoddy work, and poorly executed endings have become commonplace, Akane Kousaka is an absolute anomaly.

Her name appearing in the works means that the work may not suit everyone's taste, but it will definitely not be a case of fooling the audience.

Works featuring her may not be the best, but they are definitely the most reliable.

"You can always trust Akane Akasaka"—this statement has become a consensus to some extent.

“I see…isn’t that even better?” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and typed on the keyboard, “I want to revise Fernand’s life, history, thoughts and actions.”

"Just say you want everything changed," Kobayashi Sora said helplessly. "What are the specifics?"

One hundred years ago, Lord El Fernand was alienated and betrayed by the king of that era, lost his beloved sister, and then vowed revenge, becoming the big boss.

"I want him to be loved by his family, admired by his people, trusted by the king, and worshipped by his apprentices." Kasumigaoka Utaha's red eyes blazed with fire. "I want him to be exceptionally talented, quick-witted, upright, kind, gentle, and compassionate. I want him to be showered with love and revered by thousands. I want everyone to love him, to expect him to lead a new future, to fight for him, to die for him, and to live for him."

Despite the words being blessings, Eriri felt a chill run down her spine.

Is Kasumigaoka Utaha really that happy to want a character based on Akane Kousaka?

She gave Fernand so much, so what is she going to take away?

“Everyone believes in him and has high hopes for him.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s lips curled up. “Even those who want to destroy the world are no exception.”

"Huh?" For a moment, Kobayashi Sora's mind went blank.

Why would a protagonist of this caliber gain the trust of an entity that wants to destroy the world?

and many more......

He was startled, as if some torrent was washing over his brain, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
