And she’s a third-year senior, probably about to graduate, so I’ll take this opportunity to say it.
However, what surprised him even more was that this incident would be seen by others.
"Good afternoon, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
After hearing the somewhat gnashing voice, Tomoya Aki turned around and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise.
Then I thought about it carefully. It was not strange to see Kasumigaoka Utaha here at noon. It was just that the timing was not very good.
"…Good afternoon, Amai-san is amazing."
Seeing that Tomoya Aki's expression was so calm, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately adjusted her attitude and looked at him normally.
"What do you mean by amazing?" Amaki Tomoya said with a smile when he heard it.
"You rejected one person at the after-night festival, and now you rejected another one. Isn't that amazing? You are really becoming more and more popular now."
Seeing that Tomoya Aki defeated another girl here, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt very complicated.
If you think about it carefully, this guy started studying hard after school started last year, and he really achieved some impressive results.
As an otaku, Tomoya Aki's persistence is very attractive, but few people care about it.
But when he focused on studying and achieved results, things were different. His reputation in the school immediately changed.
Even though she was embarrassed to admit it, Kasumigaoka Utaha was sure that if Aki Tomoya dressed up a little, he would attract more people who admired his appearance.
To sum up, nowadays in the eyes of ordinary people, it is very normal to be popular if you excel in serious matters such as studying and also look good.
What's more, this time it happened to be a girl in her class.
Utaha Kasumigaoka likes to read quietly on the rooftop alone, but when Aki Tomo is here, it becomes her sad place.
"You also know about the after-night festival?"
Tomoya Aki looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise. He remembered seeing Eriri that night, but he couldn't remember when Kasumigaoka Utaha was around.
"I heard it from Sawamura."
"Oh."
That was just a rejection of someone else's invitation. The former was an implication, and the latter was an explicit statement, and Tomoya Aki rejected both.
As for this kind of thing, Aki Tomoya could only comment on what just happened and said, "You can't just rely on your feelings when you confess directly, especially when you're asking for a relationship."
"Can't you?"
There was something strange in his tone, as if he was speaking up for the girl just now.
"That senior is about to graduate just like you, and I don't even know her. She suddenly said she was dating me, which bothered me."
"That's a very unsympathetic statement."
"I was quite tactful when I answered her."
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
That was actually the case, and she had nothing to refute. Just looking at the situation between Tomoya Aki and that girl just now, being rejected might be a bit cruel, but Tomoya Aki had no other choice.
Although you want to say those words out loud in order to avoid any regrets before graduation, in fact, keep them in your heart. When you think about it in the future, in addition to the regrets, you may also have beautiful fantasies instead of remembering the blow of being rejected.
"You were the one who taught Sawamura, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha did not dwell on the previous topic, but instead talked about Eriri.
Eriri had asked her for the right to speak before, and Kasumigaoka Utaha compromised, but it was also obvious that someone probably gave Eriri advice.
She was simply curious as to whether the person who taught Eriri was Aki Tomoya, and she had no other thoughts.
"The person you are working with is Kashiwagi Eri, your editor and deputy editor-in-chief of the publishing house. How enviable, light novel writer Kasumi Shiko-sensei."
Aki Tomoya curled his lips and replied. Although he did not give a direct answer, he almost acquiesced.
Who is Kashiwagi Eri?
A well-known artist, a top artist in the industry, is working with a light novel author who has only been in the industry for two years. Does he still have to depend on others for his opinion?
In the industry today, what is the most important thing about a light novel?
illustration!
He has a good personality, a great wife, and even his shit smells good.
If it weren't for the fact that Eriri really cared about the work and her companion Kasumigaoka Utaha, Aki Tomoya would not have taught Eriri to say those words.
One of them is the deputy editor-in-chief who is very easy to talk to, and the other is a top painter in the industry. Everything that Kasumigaoka Utaha has is really enviable.
Of course, we cannot deny her efforts that are invisible to others, and her ability to tell a good story, but she is really not short of noble people around her, especially good people like Machida Sonoko, and top painters in the industry like Eriri.
She has only been in the industry for two years, and the resources she has are already top-notch treatment.
In addition, he was recently admitted to the private university Keio University, so he can be said to have achieved success in both career and studies.
"Excuse me, I'll take my leave first."
Aki Tomoya ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction and left.
"Even if you don't tell me, I now know how important Kashiwagi Eri's illustrations are, and how important Ms. Machida's support is."
After he left, Kasumigaoka Utaha talked to herself.
"Without Kashiwagi Eri, there would be no way I could have achieved such amazing results right from the beginning of the first volume. Without Ms. Machida, if I had been driven to another publishing house, I might not have been able to create so easily. I know in my heart that even that Akane Benizaka's words were very insightful. If it was her, she would definitely help me improve it."
Kasumigaoka Utaha clenched her hands, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
After seeing TAKI's account reappear on the forum that day, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally took Machida Sonoko's opinion to heart.
From that time on, Kasumigaoka Utaha started to sort it out.
Although she felt a sense of repulsion when she saw Akane Benizaka, after she woke up, she realized that if she continued like that, they would eventually become each other.
Really dangerous!
She tried to compromise, unable to ignore the flaws in her work any longer.
Especially later, Eriri rarely showed strength in front of her, and Kasumigaoka Utaha really thought carefully about what the other party said.
But at the same time, she also discovered that TAKI's return to the forum and Eriri's rare strength were all influenced by Tomoya Aki.
"I'd be a fool to try to find comfort in Eriri!"
But she had to admit that it was because Eriri really cared about their work that she borrowed Tomoya Aki's account to let Taki reappear on the forum and attract her attention. Not long ago, she also rarely demanded the right to speak in front of her, so she was able to sort it out carefully.
Therefore, she should not only thank Eriri, but also treat Eriri well.
Similarly, the deputy editor-in-chief, Machida Sonoko, had to be accommodated to quite a few times.
The first awakening, the second awakening, and now the third awakening.
Hearing this third warning from the person who taught Eriri to say those words, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt extremely complicated.
Chapter 143 First Mock Exam (4/4)
On the day of the national mock exam, Tomoya Aki put on his uniform and planned to go out early to the exam venue.
"Ren Ye, you got up too early."
The noise of him going downstairs attracted his mother's attention in the kitchen.
The mother walked out quickly and looked at her son walking down the stairs with some helplessness.
On the 17th, the first national mock exam of the year began, and Akitomo did not slack off at all.
"I have to rush to take the mock exam, so I have to get up early."
As he spoke, he walked into the living room.
On the dining table, his mother had already prepared breakfast for him.
After eating a simple meal, An Yilun hurried out and ran to the entrance.
"Wait, don't be so anxious!"
The mother chased to the entrance and knocked on the head of Tomoya Aki who was putting on his shoes.
"Don't force yourself."
"Mom, I never force myself. Thank you for breakfast."
After putting on his shoes, Tomoya Aki stood up and smiled at his mother, then went out with his schoolbag.
"Slow down, it doesn't matter if you don't do well on the mock exam!"
However, as he was in a hurry to get to the subway station, Tomoya Aki was unable to hear what his mother was saying. He just raised his hand and waved after hearing her voice from behind.
He walked quickly to the subway station. There were many students like him who went out early.
About forty minutes later, Akitomo arrived at the examination room.
During the first National Description Mock Judgment Examination, Aki Tomoya saw the sign at the entrance and the person in front of him indicating the venue to the students.
Students from different schools came to the same examination room to take the exam. Around Aki Tomoya, there were all kinds of uniforms.
Compared to the entrance examinations for specific schools, such as the entrance examinations for the University of Tokyo, the national mock exams are based on the Ichikatsu Center exams.
The entire mock exam lasts for two days, with the liberal arts and science subjects taking place on the two days before and after respectively.
In order to ensure the total score in the first test next year, Aki Tomoya has to take all subjects, so he has to take part in both days of mock exams.
Sayaka Kudo, who is taking the exam in other areas, will only take the liberal arts exam today.
Following the instructions and the admission ticket, he found the examination room and Tomoya Aki found the seat with his examination number and sat down.
In a short time after he sat down, all the candidates entered the examination room and the time for the exam was getting closer.
The atmosphere in the examination room was also filled with a sense of urgency, and Akitomo saw that many people had slightly nervous expressions on their faces.
Although it is just a mock exam, many people still attach great importance to the judgment of the mock exam.
The exam time came unknowingly and the papers were distributed to everyone.
The examiner standing at the front of the room called out at the right time: "Answer the questions, start!"
The first mock exam began on the 17th. Aki Tomoya opened the test paper and started answering the questions on the answer sheet according to the questions.
……
The mock exam lasted for two days and ended on the afternoon of the 18th.
The candidates who finished their last exam came out of the venue. One of them was Tomoya Aki, and he could occasionally hear sighs from those around him.
"ended."
Standing in front of the venue entrance, looking at the notice board, Aki Tomoya let out a long breath.
After finishing the first mock exam, Tomoya Aki's slightly tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot.
But it was already March 18th, the first mock exam was over, and almost a quarter of the year had passed.
Staying at the entrance of the venue, Aki Tomoya could already feel the temperature starting to warm up with the arrival of spring.
"Phew, C grade, a C grade is enough for the first assessment!"
Aki Tomoya thought as he looked at the sky which was getting darker.
Although he had tried his best in the exam, he was not greedy and thought that a C grade in the first mock exam was good enough.
Among the few people who are familiar with Aki Tomoya, Kato Megumi and Uego Yoshihiko, who are in the same school and class, finished their exams yesterday, and Kudo Sayaka, who is in the same cram school, also finished her liberal arts exams yesterday.
Among the familiar people, he remembered that the person who would also take the science test today was Fumino Furuhashi, the liberal arts genius of Ichinose Academy.
But everyone was not divided into the same area.
"Let's go back."
Noticing that the gloomy sky looked like it was going to rain, Aki Tomoya prayed in his heart that he could get home before it rained.
After walking out of the venue, he quickened his pace and walked towards the subway station.
Toot——
Just then, a car horn sounded, as if it was directed at Aki Tomoya.
