As a creator, she certainly understands that the works created under the guidance of Ryoshin Esaki do not entirely belong to her.

But at the same time, she could not tolerate herself deliberately ignoring Ryoma Esaki's guidance, causing the work to become inferior.

The reason why Kasumigaoka Utaha initially chose to transfer to Ryoshin Ezaki's school was largely to make up for this.

Whether it is developing an inseparable close relationship with Ryoma Esaki, or reaching a reciprocal transaction of exchanging interests, or even just getting Ryoma Esaki's approval, she can continue to create under Ryoma Esaki's guidance without any psychological burden.

But Ryoma Esaki was also well aware of this, so he never let Kasumigaoka Utaha succeed.

However, this point was pointed out sharply by Ruby Hoshino at this moment.

For the first time, Kasumigaoka Utaha got really angry.

This is something she cannot change and cannot do anything about. Once caught by Ruby Hoshino, she is completely unable to fight back.

Even if Ruby Hoshino's idol status prevents her from falling in love, she can solve the problem by giving up being an idol. Although the cost is heavy, she is not helpless.

But even if Kasumigaoka Utaha no longer accepts the guidance of Ryoma Esaki, or even gives up "Love Metronome", it cannot change the fact that she has already created the novel under the guidance of Ryoma Esaki and claimed it as her own.

In a hurry, Kasumigaoka Utaha took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of the editor-in-charge, Machida Sonoko.

"Hey, Yuanzi, can we change the author's signature for the Love Metronome that has already been published?"

"What? Change your pen name? No, I want to add a new name..."

As she said this, she suddenly turned and looked at Ryoma Esaki.

"Ryoushin-kun, what pen name would you like to use?"

Ryoma Ezaki rolled his eyes, reached out to take Kasumigaoka Utaha's phone and hung up.

"Come on, I just want to live an honest life now. Don't do anything that would expose me to the public. It would be better to give me half of the royalties instead of adding my pen name."

"Half of the royalties?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha actually started to think seriously about it.

She calculated in her mind, then took back her phone to check the balance and said.

"I can pay you a quarter of your past royalties now, and I'll pay you the rest after the new book goes on sale. What do you think?"

"..."

Ryoma Ezaki looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was obviously drunk and sighed helplessly.

Hasn't she realized that being so anxious is tantamount to throwing in the white flag and admitting defeat?

So he reached out and pressed Kasumigaoka Utaha's phone to stop her from transferring money, and said.

"Mr. Kasumigaoka, don't be anxious. I am guiding you in writing a book on my own accord. You don't have to rush to pay me."

"But I will reserve the right to ask for royalties. When I am short of money someday, I will ask you for compensation."

Ryoma Esaki's words helped Kasumigaoka Utaha block Ruby Hoshino's attack, while at the same time leaving some room for her to avoid Kasumigaoka Utaha feeling at ease and getting his guidance for free.

But now it was Ruby Hoshino's turn to be unhappy.

Just when it seemed that Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to be defeated by his own move, unexpectedly, Ryoma Esaki used ex machina to help Kasumigaoka Utaha.

This made Hoshino Ruby even more resentful.

But Ruby Hoshino herself knew that if she were to ask who among all the people present owed Ryoma Ezaki the most, it would definitely be herself.

She attacked Kasumigaoka Utaha by saying that she owed Ryoma Esaki and took advantage of Ryoma Esaki. In fact, it was because she was more at fault in this regard, so she understood this irreparable feeling of powerlessness better.

So, even if Ryoma Ezaki took sides and protected Kasumigaoka Utaha, she couldn't say anything.

And this is also the reason why Jiang Qiliang dared to pick a facelift when the dispute between the two was the most intense.

After that night, Ruby Hoshino and I were completely bound together, and the strength of our relationship was incomparable to that of other girls.

To put it bluntly, even if Ryoma Ezaki messed around with other girls in front of Ruby Hoshino, Ruby Hoshino wouldn't dare to say anything, and could even ask her to push her butt.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in showing some favoritism to Kasumigaoka Utaha, with whom I have not yet established a solid relationship.

"Oh? So Ryoma, you don't need money?"

Suddenly, a voice from behind Ryosaki Ezaki abruptly interrupted the argument among the group of people.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of arms wrapped around Ryoma Ezaki's neck from behind, and two huge balls pressed down on the back of Ryoma Ezaki's head.

"They don't want to pay me the deposit directly, but want me to make some request as a reward. Are they playing hard to get?"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Qiliang's face suddenly darkened.

To be honest, even he couldn't help but start to sweat at this moment.

He finally managed to calm the dispute down a bit, but then the most troublesome character showed up.

"Lawyer Dai? Why are you here?"

Arima Kana was surprised when she saw the person popping out from behind Ryoma Ezaki.

While she was surprised, she was also confused by Dai Machiko's obviously overly intimate behavior towards Ryoma Esaki.

This made her unable to help but come up with a guess.

Could it be that... Ryoma Esaki and Machiko Dai have known each other for a long time?

This is not difficult to speculate, and if this is true, it can also explain why Dai Machiko took the initiative to come to the door in time.

"Who is this......"

Seeing how close Machiko Dai and Ryoma Esaki were, and hearing Kana Arima mention Machiko Dai's name, Ruby Hoshino suddenly felt even more excluded.

"This is Dai Machiko, a lawyer. Miss Kana encountered some troubles before, and asked Dai to help solve it, so we got to know each other."

Ryoma Esaki took the initiative to explain.

"But my client right now is Liang Zhen~!"

Dai Machiko neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead shifted the topic to Ryoma Esaki.

This made Arima Kana even more certain that Dai Machiko must be the one that Ryoma Esaki called to help him.

But why didn't he tell me about this?

Arima Kana was puzzled.

Having entered the entertainment industry at a young age, she no longer has the concept of pure help.

People's kindness always has a purpose.

As a person of the opposite sex, it is not difficult to guess why Ryosuke Ezaki would help herself, and she has never lacked suitors.

But this was clearly a good opportunity to win his favor, but Ryoma Ezaki chose to hide it.

Is it because he is a gentleman who doesn't like women?

Arimaka looked around at the three girls around her and thought that this guess was ridiculous.

If that is not the case, then it can only be...

Ryosaki Ezaki is not interested in himself.

Helping myself, I just wanted her to help me find out about Ruby Hoshino.

This made Arimakana a little unconvinced.

If a playboy like Ryoma Esaki were to pursue her, she would definitely reject him, no matter how handsome he was.

But he was obviously a playboy, yet he still rejected me.

How am I worse than these three girls?

Arima Kana, who was originally just a spectator, began to become abnormal in her thinking after watching the Shura Field up close.

"Oh...a lawyer?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes sharply.

Just now, with the help of Ryoma Esaki, she was able to gain the upper hand against Ruby Hoshino. Unexpectedly, before she had time to celebrate her small victory, another strong opponent appeared in the blink of an eye.

Hoshino Ruby also became more vigilant than ever towards Machiko Dai, but not because she was behaving intimately with Ryoma Esaki, but because of the so-called "commission".

After hearing that Ryoma Esaki had entrusted Machiko Dai, Ruby Hoshino immediately thought of that incident.

She didn't know how much knowledge Ryoma Ezaki had about the follow-up of the incident, and whether it was necessary to ask a detective to investigate.

But selfishly speaking, she didn't want anyone other than herself and Ryoma Ezaki to know about this.

She just hoped that this was a secret between her and Ryoma Ezaki.

The common sin of two people.

If that incident still causes a lot of trouble for Ryoma Ezaki afterwards, then Ryoma Ezaki can certainly accept the lawyer Ruby Hoshino being hired.

At the moment it seems that Ryoma Ezaki did not hide his identity, he just changed the place where he lives, and he still has the leisure to continue flirting with girls. It is obvious that the so-called trouble does not exist.

And based on the information Ruby Hoshino had, the police did not consider Ryoma Esaki as a suspect at all.

There will be no problem even if Ryoma Esaki returns to the LALALAI troupe.

Over the past six months, Ruby Hoshino has been telling herself that Ryoma Ezaki must have his reasons for choosing to disappear at this time.

It is definitely not the case that he has achieved his goal after obtaining his body and thus disappears.

This is not because Ruby Hoshino has absolute trust in Ryosuke Esaki, but because she thinks it is not worth it for Ryosuke Esaki to abandon all existing social relationships and disappear.

If Ryoushin Ezaki just wanted her body, she would have no complaints.

After all, her relationship with Ryosaki Ezaki was originally a transactional one.

Her body was her bargaining chip, and once she handed it over to Ryoma Ezaki, they would be even.

There's no need to disappear just to get rid of her.

Dai Machiko was such a smart person that she immediately sensed the hostility coming from the three people.

Moreover, she was also keenly aware of the different degrees of relationship between the three people and Ryoma Esaki from the different degrees of hostility among them.

——Well... Miss Kana's attitude towards Ryouma is still in an ambiguous and confused state, and she just instinctively feels uncomfortable with my intimate behavior.

——This girl in black stockings has a strong possessiveness towards Ryouma, but is she afraid that Ryouma will hate her because of her strong possessiveness, so she has been suppressing it?

Finally, Machiko Dai's eyes fell on Ruby Hoshino.

——As for the blonde girl across from me...it looks like she has a big secret.

"Dai Machiko, you're fired."

At this moment, Ryoma Esaki suddenly spoke.

Dai Machiko was stunned for a moment, then patted Ryoma Esaki's shoulder and smiled.

"Ryoshin, you scared me again. I was just joking. Are you angry?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you are joking or not."

However, Jiang Qiliangzhen said in a cold tone.

"As the lawyer I hired, you disclosed the agreement between us without authorization, which violated the lawyer's confidentiality obligation, so I decided to fire you."

Ryoma Esaki said as he took Dai Machiko's hand away, stood up and turned to face her.

"Do you have any objection?"

Seeing Ryoma Esaki's expression, Machiko Dai understood that he was serious.

At this moment, she also realized that it was indeed too much for her to use Jiang Qiliang's commission to compete with these girls.

As a lawyer, you should never do anything that violates professional ethics.

What's more, it was just because of her personal bad taste.

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Ezaki, this is indeed my fault."

Dai Machiko instantly put away her playful smile and said seriously.

"I apologize and promise I won't do it again."

"Of course, if you still insist on firing me, I have no objection. I will come to your house with relevant documents to discuss the matter in detail someday."

Seeing that the "witch" who had easily seen through everyone just now was completely subdued by Ryoma Ezaki with just a few words, Kasumigaoka Utaha and others couldn't help but feel gloating.

Although Ryoma Esaki still had a stern face at this time, he let out a sigh of relief.

One of the ways to resolve the Shura field is to find a reasonable excuse to take the initiative.
