If a reader can feel this way, then Kasumigaoka Utaha, as the author, must feel it even more deeply.

"So you not only toyed with your senior's feelings, but also with her best friend's feelings." Kato Megumi held up two fingers and wagged them. "You toyed with the love and friendship of two people together."

Kobayashi Sora sighed, "Don't make it sound like a story from Sawamura's novels."

“Okay.” Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora walked side by side down the school corridor. “As long as you don’t do this kind of thing, I won’t say these things.”

"So you're still angry, right?"

“I wasn’t particularly angry,” Kato Megumi added. “And also…”

"Anything else?"

"Then I won't say anything more."

"Please tell me, Kato-sensei."

"Well......"

"Teacher Hui."

"There's another reason why the senior student is angry."

Kobayashi Sora sighed, "I feel like even if I apologize, she won't forgive me."

“This last bit is our hope,” Kato Megumi reminded him. “When Sawamura let Aki play by herself, it was the senpai who was the first to try and persuade her to stop.”

Kobayashi Sora recalled for a moment, "Indeed."

"In other words, she also hopes this project will be successful." Kato Megumi tilted her head. "So, for whom is she thinking this way?"

"I guessed it was Aki, but if you ask that, it's obviously not."

“Not entirely,” Kato Megumi replied. “If it were solely for Aki-kun’s sake, given her personality, she would have said something even more heartless when she left, but she simply left.”

Kobayashi Sora recalled the expression on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face when she left.

"She was trying, but the moment after she put in the effort, she realized that all her efforts were just wishful thinking," Kato Megumi concluded softly. "Anyone would be angry in her shoes."

Kobayashi Sora: "So you really are angry."

"I wasn't particularly angry."

Chapter 87 My Friend

“Then,” Kobayashi Sora stopped in her tracks, “Ms. Kei, what can I do to make you stop being angry and, by the way, forgive me?”

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a puzzled expression. "Senpai is clearly angrier than me."

"So if even you can't forgive me, then my senior sister is even less likely to forgive me."

“That makes sense.” Kato Megumi nodded. “Then, I’ll forgive you, senpai, and I won’t be angry anymore.”

"Eh?"

“Because my senior is angrier than I am,” Kato Megumi explained. “If she can forgive you, then I have nothing to be angry about.”

“That’s true…” Kobayashi Sora frowned, “I have absolutely no clue right now.”

"Isn't that perfect?"

"Ok?"

“From a business perspective, all the preparations you’ve made are fine; you’re a responsible partner,” Kato Megumi pointed out the crux of the problem. “But as a friend, you lack warmth.”

"friend......"

"If you only see me as a business partner, senior shouldn't be angry, right?" Kato Megumi guessed. "If you plan it out like a business partnership before taking action, then it's no different from your previous behavior."

"So the right approach right now is to go directly to her when we have no clue or plan." Kobayashi Sora let out a long sigh. "I understand."

"Then I'll wait for your news." Kato Megumi waved goodbye, "Bye-bye."

"Wait for my good news that will make you stop being angry."

"I wasn't particularly angry."

After parting ways with Kato Megumi, Kobayashi Sora headed towards Kasumigaoka Utaha's house.

The reason why Kasumigaoka Utaha is angry is very complicated; it is formed by the entanglement of various people and things.

But there is only one core contradiction or conflict.

Kasumigaoka Utaha treats him as a friend and wants to help him.

Kobayashi Sora, however, saw her as a business partner and wanted to take advantage of her.

Putting yourself in their shoes, if you lent money to a friend out of friendship, only to find that the friend had no urgent need and was just using you as an ATM, Kobayashi Sora would be even angrier than Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Therefore, Kobayashi Sora had no idea when the version update was completed.

He tapped his forehead lightly, touching the rough scab on it.

No, he already found out.

I just didn't notice.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, the autograph session..."

"Hmph, what's it to you what I think about my reputation?"

"I told you it's unnecessary! I can attract readers with interesting content; I don't need to do it this way!"

"You just wait."

"My new work."

The very next day, Kasumigaoka Utaha arrived with dark circles under her eyes, bringing the draft of the first volume.

Upon discovering Kobayashi Sora's emotional problems, he immediately abandoned the manuscript he had stayed up all night to write.

"Tell me what's bothering you so I can cheer you up."

Using her usual tone as the opening line for their heart-to-heart talk, she took advantage of Kobayashi Sora's unstable emotions to press for details of what had happened.

Then, with her extraordinary analytical skills, she surgically pinpointed Kobayashi Sora's problem, helping him recognize his own issues.

Although his words were as sharp as a scalpel.

This is her consistent personality; she speaks to Aki Tomoya in the same way.

As a business partner, she didn't need to pay too much attention to Kobayashi Sora's emotional problems; she just needed to wait for him to adjust himself and then complete the review work.

She put down her manuscript and helped Kobayashi Sora recognize her own problems.

With her help, Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi resumed their previous relationship, and even took it a step further.

This is the help that Kasumigaoka Utaha provided to Kobayashi Sora in her love life as a friend.

So... what did I do?

Taking advantage of Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings for Aki Tomoya, she pulls her into the club while plotting to kick Aki Tomoya out.

Kobayashi Sora and Kasumigaoka Utaha were like two piles of dry tinder. Kasumigaoka Utaha lit Kobayashi Sora's pile, and when she turned around, Kobayashi Sora was holding a water bottle and about to pour it on her pile.

Just like Kato Megumi said.

From a business cooperation perspective, Kobayashi Sora did the right thing.

From a friend's perspective, this was not a fair thing to do.

If he makes a mistake, Kasumigaoka Utaha can deliver her usual sharp tongue in a counterattack.

But he did nothing wrong, so Kasumigaoka Utaha could only sulk.

She was upset because she treated Kobayashi Sora as a friend without considering her own feelings.

Having finally sorted out her thoughts, Kobayashi Sora pressed the doorbell.

Since it's a luxury apartment, the owner needs to open the door before he can get into the elevator.

To this day, Kobayashi Sora still hasn't figured out what to say.

but......

What you say is not important.

Seeing her is what matters.

The visitor desk screen lit up briefly, and then the elevator doors opened.

Kobayashi Sora was taken aback and stepped into the elevator.

-

"Mom?" Kasumigaoka Utaha, having changed her clothes, came out of her room. "Dad's back?"

Kasumigaoka's mother turned to look at her daughter. "No."

Who is that?

Kasumigaoka's mother: "Victim."

The victim?!

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart.

Could it be something she doesn't want to see right now...?

The elevator doors opened, and Kobayashi Sora stepped out.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..." I saw her.

She remembered.

When Kobayashi Sora first came to her house.

They talked about the plot all night.

Finally, Kobayashi Sora fell asleep.

Kasumigaoka Utaha dragged him onto the sofa.

He accidentally knocked me down.

Then... Mom and Dad came back.
