Chapter 62 A Little Greedier Than You (4/12)
Akitomo has no idea about the competition in the otaku world, because from what he knew in the past, it was just a simple love for the two-dimensional world.
So now Aki Tomoya understands that Iori Hatima wants to climb to the top of the otaku world, and what he has done is very good.
Among people of the same age, there are not many who can achieve the level of Hajima Iori.
But achieving success too early is not always a good thing.
The problems exposed by Iori Hatima are also obvious.
"Iori, you are very capable and you will be popular wherever you go, but it's not a bad thing to tighten your tail. Maybe I have underestimated the competition in the otaku world, but no matter who you are, there will be times when you can't help yourself. I look forward to the moment when you climb to the top and look down at me."
Aki Tomoya patted Hatima Iori, because this person was too easy to understand, always getting along with everyone and being popular everywhere. He was afraid that this former best friend would suffer someday.
When one takes advantage of others, aren't others also taking advantage of him?
When Iori Hatima was in junior high school, he had already used his own advantages to accumulate connections in the otaku world.
There is no doubt that he is excellent.
It is a joy to have such a friend.
"Always be on your guard. You can never be completely sure whether the person smiling in front of you wants to help you or hurt you, including me. You look at me as if I am reminding you, but in my heart I am actually laughing at you now. Can you figure it out?"
Aki Tomoya patted Iori Hatima's shoulder with an extremely gentle smile on his face.
Someone kicks you in the back, and someone sincerely wants to remind you.
It's good to have confidence, but it's not good to be blinded by confidence.
“Don’t let your hard work go to waste. It must have been hard to get to this point, but when one day you find out there are eyes behind you, be careful not to burn everything to ashes.”
What Tomoya Aki said sounded outrageous and alarmist.
In fact, he was just trying to scare Iori Hasima.
He doesn't understand the competition in the otaku world as well as Iori Hatima, so it's nonsense to comment on him at this time.
But I have to say that Iori Hamajima was really scared.
Judging from the tone of Tomoya Aki's voice, he probably imagined some scene.
"You are easily frightened by me. Iori, why don't you refute me like before? Not with impotent rage, but with reason and evidence, and convince me with a smile!"
Aki Tomoya shook his head. He couldn't bear to be scared like this by someone his own age.
"Iori, at best you are still working for Akane Ayane. To be honest, you are a bit like a fox taking advantage of the power of another."
To put it bluntly, everyone is still a loser now, and no one has the capital to laugh at each other.
When saying this to Hamajima Iori, Akitomo was also thinking about the past when they were good friends. At the same time, Hamajima Iori was not saying what he meant and had taken care of him before.
"You are a very likable person, but once you become annoying, you are truly annoying. You are just like you were in the past when I didn't understand you."
At first, he did not understand Iori Hatima, who also claimed to climb to the top of the industry, and finally concluded that they had different paths and could not work together, so he severed the relationship.
Now that I really think about it, Iori Hamajima was already more mature than most people at that time, and there was nothing wrong with what he did.
He still considers himself a friend, so Aki Tomoya naturally still considers him a friend as well.
"At that time, I didn't understand why you used the ACG world to promote yourself, just like you don't understand why I quit being a otaku to prepare for the exam. You said you wanted to climb to the top of the industry and I wasn't kidding when I wanted to get into the University of Tokyo."
Aki Tomoya's tone calmed down, and from his expression, it could be seen that he actually felt quite regretful about what happened in junior high school.
If people could understand each other, the whole world would be less complicated.
"What's that look in your eyes? Do I scare you?"
Tomoya Aki pushed Iori Hamima. The look in the other's eyes showed that he was obviously afraid of him, which made Tomoya Aki couldn't help laughing.
In the past, Iori Hasima had never shown such an expression in front of him.
Now he looked as if all his confidence had been torn apart.
"I will be at the Summer CM Fan Expo the next day. It will be my first time as a creator at the Expo on the day I go to sea. As your brother, you will also be there. Let's talk then. I've been very busy these days, and I won't be able to entertain you when you come back from Nagoya. Let's talk on that day."
Akitomo looked at the time. It was getting late. The other party must have a lot of things to do. He also had to prepare for the summer vacation.
I guess the next chance we'll have to meet again will be at the Summer CM Fan Expo.
Iori Hatima is the older brother of Izumi Hatima and a member of the Akane Benizaka club. He should participate in the CM fan exhibition.
"So why do you want to go somewhere more brutal?"
Iori Hatashima looked at Tomoya Aki who was about to leave with a complicated expression.
Just as he was about to leave, Tomoya Amano stopped, looked back and thought for a moment, then said frankly, "Maybe I'm a little greedier than you."
"…But I still want to win over those two people."
Iori Hatima avoided Aki Tomoya's sight, and at this time expressed in front of Aki Tomoya his intention to win over Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who were causing a sensation in the industry at the moment.
Aki Tomoya understood the other party's idea, but still maintained his previous opinion: "I still say the same thing, if Akane Akasaka doesn't appear, you can save the tricks that others have left over and use them on other people."
There is nothing wrong with using the leftovers from others; after all, they are things that have been tested by time.
But for someone like Iori Hatima, her skills are still a little tender.
Eriri already had a prejudice against Iori Hatima, and Kasumigaoka Utaha was not someone who could be easily fooled, and Akitomo didn't think he had the skills to impress those two.
"Let's talk on the day of the fan convention. See you later."
Aki Tomoya pushed the bicycle and left.
Looking at the figure of Tomoya Aki leaving, Iori Hatima realized that he had really made a mistake and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"You scare me, Renye..."
Iori Hajima sighed heavily.
Perhaps, as Tomoya Aki said before, they have never been the same kind of people.
Today, in front of my former best friend, all my past confidence seemed to have been torn apart.
"And you are not greedy at all, are you? Competing with a group of elites is much more powerful than what I have done..."
As he sighed like this, Iori Hamajima realized that he was really scared.
He was completely controlled by the other party. He originally wanted to talk about his current status and wait for Aki Tomoya to come over, but he found that the other party no longer cared about such things.
Or to be more precise, they chose a path with higher risks and benefits.
There is nothing much to say about Hamajima Iori except the word admiration.
Chapter 63 Women are such trouble! (5/12)
Aki Tomoya is genuinely happy to be reunited with Tokai Hasima, but the reunion with her brother Iori Hasima is a little more complicated.
He was very touched that Iori Hatima still regarded him as a partner who would reach the top of the otaku world together, or a destined rival.
But unfortunately, the place that Aki Tomoya went to was different from what Iori Hamajima expected.
After the graduation ceremony, it was summer vacation, and his parents had already paid for his subsequent tuition at the cram school.
After finishing the last things in July, time has entered August.
The CM fan exhibition starting on the 11th is just around the corner, and Aki Tomoya asked for leave from Aomine Academy in advance, because Saturday is the 12th, the second day of the fan exhibition, and he will go to the booth of Nami Island.
"I never thought that I would return to CM one day..."
He thought he would be isolated from Comic Market because of his exam preparation, but his junior moved back from Nagoya and invited him because it was his first time to participate in the exhibition as a creator.
It feels really good to have a schoolmate who still cares about you.
Originally, he wanted to invite Kiyako Kamigo to work as a laborer, but that guy went back to his hometown and had been crying to him about being forced to do hard labor there.
Maintaining his sympathy for Comrade Yoshihiko Kamigo, Tomoya Aki decided to relax for the day.
However, because of this incident, Akitomo thought of Eriri, after all, the girl with blonde twin tails was also a famous painter.
Although it was difficult to sell the illustrated book in person, it was not exposed with the help of Sayuri Sawamura.
"Troublesome guy..."
Akito Tomoya felt a headache when he thought of Eriri.
Tomorrow is the second day of the CM Fan Exhibition. According to the agreement with Hamajima, I have to prepare well.
"Don't say I don't consider you a friend."
Aki Tomoya sent her a message, saying that he would be attending the CM exhibition the next day and asked her if she wanted to go with him.
After sending a Line message to Eriri, Akitomo threw his phone away without caring about how the other party would respond. Anyway, as a friend, this was the utmost care he could give.
After rubbing his eyes and drawing a circle on the schedule on the wall, Aki Tomoya went to take a shower.
After coming back half an hour later, he found that he had a lot of messages on Line.
"When?"
"Which pavilion?"
"What are you doing there?"
"Are you there?"
……
So after talking for a long time, he didn't make it clear whether to go or not, but instead asked a lot of questions.
"Go? Or, not go?"
An Yilun replied in an unpleasant tone.
"go."
The next second, the other party replied with a new message.
The corner of Aki's eye twitched, and he murmured subconsciously: "Could this guy be looking at his phone all the time?"
He was in a somewhat subtle mood, and then told the other party the meeting place.
He was too lazy to think about other things. After telling the time and place, he put his phone aside and lay down on the bed.
……
August 12th, the second day of the Summer Comic Market.
Don’t underestimate the enthusiasm of otakus, in these busy days, they will line up early, waiting for the exhibition hall to open, just like rushing to a battlefield.
They lined up outside in an orderly manner, and at a glance there was a sea of people, like a tide.
This is a carnival for otakus, held twice a year for three consecutive days.
The largest doujin exhibition in Japan and even in the world, otakus from all over Japan and other countries gather here.
After getting ready in the morning, Tomoya Aki went out very early. Thanks to his past knowledge of Comic Market, Tomoya Aki was familiar with the route.
Outside the east exhibition hall, Tomoya Aki was already waiting for Eriri to arrive.
"so slow……"
Aki Tomoya looked at the time. They had clearly agreed to meet at an agreed time. If he was any slower, he would be late for the agreed time to go out to sea with Hamajima.
Just when he was getting a little impatient, he suddenly noticed a man wearing a beret and a mask walking towards him stealthily.
From under the beret, Akitomo saw a few strands of golden hair.
At this time, he had already guessed that the sneaky person must be Eriri.
Is attending a fan convention like stealing?
"Fools?"
There is a black line on Tomoya Aki's head.
Seeing Eriri walking towards him stealthily, he shifted his gaze to the other side with some disgust.
"Hey, hello..."
Wearing thick glasses, sweat had already appeared on her snow-white forehead in this hot summer day.
