If you can't learn, then just fall in love

“Poor hospitality.”

The hot curry with the aroma of spices spread into her nose. Kasumigaoka Utaha took a bite and her eyes narrowed with joy.

"It turned out to be the right decision to come here for a free meal today~"

Hanyu Aozora looked up at his senior and thought that it must be difficult for her to run so far just to get a free meal.

"Although it's a bit shabby, let's just treat it as a celebration party for Kasumi Shiko's debut comic book."

Deliberately bringing up the topic, Hanyu Aozora didn't think that the senior sister came just to eat for free.

"I was about to forget about this if you hadn't said that," Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hanyu Aozora seriously, "Why isn't Aozora-kun in charge of the comics?"

Hanyu Aozora thought for a moment and said, "There is still a big difference between illustrations and comics. In addition, I have a lot of work recently and I don't have the confidence that I can draw well. So I followed the advice of editor Machida and handed it over to someone else."

Just kidding, if I accidentally draw "Love Metronome" like "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V", won't I be mad at the fans?

Hanyu Aozora was lost in thought and felt that he was probably not that talented yet.

"But, that's our child..."

"Seeing you looking so tearful, I don't know what to say."

"Anyway, I am a pitiful person. Not only can I not keep your heart, I can't even keep our child. It ran away with a woman who came from nowhere."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Black air emerged from around Kasumigaoka Utaha. It seemed that she was not just teasing Hanyu Aozora, but really regarded her debut work as an important child.

Hanyu Aozora was a little panicked. If the senior student really thought so, it would only make things worse.

Looking at Hanyu Aozora, Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips slightly.

Of course, that's the story of me and Aozora-kun... the story of Sayuka and Masato...

If it weren't for Qingkong's help, I would definitely not have been able to persevere. In order to make the illustrations worthy of Qingkong, I tried my best to conceive the plot and write a touching story.

"You know how much effort I put into Love Metronome, Qingkong-kun, right? I don't want others to touch our story. That's my child."

Holding his face in profile, Hanyu Aozora always felt like a scumbag who was negotiating a divorce with his wife.

“It’s really subtle in every sense of the word.”

"It's me, right? You didn't even tell me such an important thing. Who the hell is that Sagano Fumio? How did he suddenly appear?"

Hanyu Aozora was quite helpless, "Senior, didn't you sign the document on the day of the interview?"

After thinking about it, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to remember that this happened.

"It doesn't count. I didn't listen to anything that day because I was jealous."

She slammed the table and refused to give in on the issue of child custody.

"You are so heartless to leave the child alone."

Chapter 183 Criminal Couple

"Would you like tea or a drink?"

"Let's have some tea... No, Qingkong-kun, please don't change the subject!"

Looking at Hanyu Aozora seriously, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt very sad.

Although in Hanyu Aozora's eyes, Senior Kasumigaoka was trying to hold back her laughter no matter what.

"I'm not changing the subject. Eating only curry will make your mouth dry. In order to prevent your mouth from being so dry that you can't complain, it's better to drink something."

"That's right...Tea and coffee are both fine. I'm not picky."

"I think you were already picking when you specifically mentioned these two things." Hanyu Aozora complained helplessly to the senior, "Drink tea, coffee is not good for your health, I don't drink it much recently."

With her face tilted to the side, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked stupidly at Hanyu Aozora making tea, and only withdrew her gaze when the cup was placed next to her.

"But I think that drinking coffee makes the negotiation feel more like negotiation."

After taking a sip of tea, the perfect taste made Kasumigaoka Utaha squint her eyes.

At the same time, she was also a little desperate because she seemed to be crushed by her cute junior in terms of femininity.

"There's nothing to negotiate. If you don't want to hand over the comic adaptation to Sagano Fumio, I'll go negotiate with the editorial department."

Hanyu Aozora chewed the chicken and picked at the potatoes on the plate with a calm expression.

"Ah, that's not what I meant."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little uneasy. She came here just to find a reason to stay with Hanyu Aozora, and she didn't want to let the person she liked do such a troublesome thing.

Then Qingkong, who is afraid of trouble, showed a cold expression. He must think that I am making trouble for no reason...

Besides, as Qingkong-kun said just now, he has been very busy recently and has no time to adapt "Love Metronome" into a comic.

"I just feel a little unwilling. After all, Love Metronome is..."

After thinking about it, she still didn't say "it's our child". Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings towards it are more complicated.

At the beginning, "Love Metronome" was the first collaboration between a failed writer and a transformed illustrator. Except for Hanyu Aozora, no one was optimistic about it. Even Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that her story might not be that interesting.

It would be great if more and more people knew about this book. I want everyone to see the efforts of my junior and I.

Even though the failed writer Kasumi Shiko has no confidence, she still hopes that the efforts of the two can be recognized by others and their story can be liked by others.

However, with the joint efforts of the two, when "Love Metronome" was liked by more and more people, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly regretted it.

Because she suddenly realized that the motivation for writing those words was not because she wanted readers to read stories they liked, but for more selfish reasons...

She wanted the black rabbit who had always supported her to understand her feelings, so she incorporated her personal emotions and understanding of the character into the plot and the role.

At that time, "Love Metronome" was truly a "child" belonging to the two of them. They would stay up late online to discuss the plot, and spend a long time discussing the expressions of the characters in the illustrations. They would have their own emotions because of the joy and sadness of the characters, and would also think for a long time about how to use the small accessories on the characters to express the characters' personalities.

"Love Metronome", which was the result of the hard work of both of them, became popular as expected, so much so that the reputations of Kasumi Shiko and Black Rabbit also improved.

However, at the last moment facing her "child", Kasumigaoka Utaha betrayed it.

"After all, Love Metronome was a work I had given up on because my confession failed. So I changed the plot of the last volume to make it more in line with the readers' needs."

"I have always been thinking that if I ever become more mature, I will definitely bring back the volume I gave up."

"To make it better, to show the love that belongs to me more perfectly."

"If it's made into a comic, it will be an opportunity for me, but if the artist is not Qingkong-kun, I don't have the courage to tell the artist about the plot I have changed."

"After all, it seems that the only artist who can cooperate with me in being willful is Qingkong-kun... Besides, if the person I'm facing is not you, I can't write those dokidoki plots."

After saying so much in one breath, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a sip of tea. The sweetness hidden under the bitterness made her feel a little better despite her dry mouth.

"But I'm still too willful. Qingkong-kun, your workload has been so heavy lately that it's worrying. If I ask you to take on the comics, I, I can't do it..."

"So let's just leave it at that. 'Love Metronome' is my abandoned 'child'. I have no right to take it back. That's all that matters..."

Lowering her head, Kasumigaoka Utaha finished speaking her mind. Although she was a little unwilling, she would leave it at that...

Even if I change the ending of "Love Metronome" and want to use it to confess my love, even if Qingzora-kun is the painter, I will still be rejected, right?

After all, from the first time I confessed my feelings to her, there was no way I could date Qingkong-kun.

In other words, if you don’t succeed the first time, it will be even more impossible to succeed later.

If I had been more mature at that time, grasped Qingkong Jun's weakness, and seen through the disguise under Qingkong Jun's mask, perhaps the ending would have been different?

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit the spoon and thought blankly.

That way you won’t get rejected four times!

The girl, who was still a bit yandere at heart, bit the ceramic spoon and made a crunching sound, and she burst out with her resentment, which gave goose bumps to Hanyu Aozora, who was sitting opposite and sending messages.

After taking a look at the senior, Hanyu Aozora struck her with a knife-like hand.

"Eh?"

"The curry is getting cold. Did you come here just to eat some cold curry?"

Pursing her lips slightly, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought to herself that she was not here to eat for free, she was already planning to lose weight.

But you still keep ignoring me.

"Delicious..." Ready to turn her anger into appetite, Kasumigaoka Utaha tasted the warm curry and her eyes lit up, "Yuzu-kun's cooking skills are great."

"Your change of address really caught me off guard." After chewing the last piece of chicken, Hanyu Aozora ended his dinner time. "Senior sister said so much, listen to me too."

"Ah no, I should call you Kasumi Shiko-sensei now."

Hanyu Aozora looked serious.

"If Kasumi Shiko-sensei feels that you have given up on your work, then I would call it destruction."

"The original manuscript that day had a great story and a perfect ending, but I rejected it for some strange reason."

"I did not judge the story, but denied the writer of the story, simply because I was afraid to face the emotions contained in the story."

"As an illustrator, I also wanted to draw an illustration of Sayuka and Makoto together, but I destroyed it with my own hands because of my cowardice."

"We are accomplices, and I am much worse than you."

Hanyu Aozora smiled gently, his expression indifferent but not casual. Kasumigaoka Utaha could see the seriousness in his eyes.

"The reason I didn't take on the manga adaptation was because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to draw Sayuka and Masato in the image of the senior."

"But if I give up this opportunity, I will never be able to apologize to those two characters."

"So, this is my apology. It has nothing to do with whether it's troublesome or not."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked. She always felt that there was some hint in the boy's words.

"You admit it's our child, criminal couple, it feels great~"

Hanyu Aozora was speechless.

"By the way, you've been looking at your phone."

"Yeah, I just needed to get Sagano Fumio's contact information."

Hanyu Aozora remembers that the process of the other party agreeing to comics was quite difficult. Now he comes over and says he doesn't need you anymore. Anyone would be angry.

While Hanyu Aozora was worried, Sagano Fumio was holding Aozora, daydreaming and thinking about the boy he met this afternoon.

"Mayu, Black Rabbit teacher is looking for you."

Hearing that her idol was looking for her, Mayu Sagara suddenly became alert. As for the boy this afternoon?

Sorry, I don't know you~

Chapter 184: Did you find a stepmother for your child?

"Are you chatting with him right now?"

Eating curry happily, Kasumigaoka Utaha had a smile on her face.

"Not yet, I just submitted a Line friend request."

Hanyu Aozora supported his face with a calm expression.

"Wow, even I don't get this kind of treatment, okay?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes when she thought of her own experience. She was the one who took the initiative to add Hanyu Aozora, but this teacher Sagano Fumio was actually added as a friend by Hanyu Aozora. Comparing the two, she felt sad.

Hanyu Aozora sighed. He basically never took the initiative to add anyone. "Teacher Sagano Fumio is a man, and if I add him, I will also be held jointly responsible."

"It's a man, so it's okay~" Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched out a spoon and put the chicken she picked out to Hanyu Aozora's mouth, "As for joint liability... This is my compensation. Aozora-kun, please forgive me for the sake of such delicious curry."

If it wasn't for Kasumigaoka Utaha coming to find Hanyu Aozora, he would never have found Sagano Fumio. It took a lot of effort to ask someone else to adapt the manga, and now he wants to take the adaptation rights back, which is very rude no matter how you think about it.

Even if Hanyu Aozora took part of the responsibility, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't let it go so easily. After all, it was too much to ask someone who was always complaining about being troublesome and had a lot of work on hand to share the responsibility with herself.

"Senior's expression is not like your usual self."

Hanyu Aozora glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha and tapped the table with his fingertips, making a regular sound. "I'm just doing what I should do. There's no need to worry about me."

"How can I not worry? After all, only those who worry about you are worthy of your love."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Hanyu Aozora felt that his standards for choosing a partner should not be that strange.

"Eat curry, it won't taste good when it's cold... As for me, please don't worry, joint liability is not just talk, Kasumi Shiko and Black Rabbit are b/m, the best match."

"The last two English words strike me as malicious."

With drooped eyebrows, Hanyu Aozora chose not to look at the black silk tank... "There's nothing, you're just overthinking it."

Isn't it a bad idea to criticize the senior like this? After all, the senior is only a dozen pounds heavier than Hui and Eriri...

Hanyu Aozora thought so and mercilessly teased the senior with black stockings.
