In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

Putting down his pen, Kamio Tatsuya prepared to go check on Horikita. Had she fainted from crying? Hmm, probably not.

At that moment, after Horikita stopped crying, her expression immediately became unpredictable.

I had just made up my mind to start over, but someone immediately saw this embarrassing side of me.

Moreover, when Horikita was dragged here by the other party, she found herself feeling a little at ease.

What exactly is going on?

Regardless, Horikita wanted to thank Kamio Tatsuya at that moment, because he was right. If she couldn't control her emotions and cried in public, she might be seen by others.

Rather than be seen by anyone else, Horikita Suzune preferred to let Kamio Tatsuya see her in such an embarrassing state.

It's not the first time anyway.

He helped me again this time. Hmm, I should go and thank him.

Thinking this, Horikita stood up from the floor, but when she got to the bedroom door, she couldn't push it open or even knock.

Oh right, wash your face first. You just cried, your face must look a mess.

Just as she was hesitating, the bedroom door opened, and Tatsuya Kamio appeared in the doorway, naturally seeing her face stained with tears.

In other words, Horikita doesn't usually wear makeup, otherwise...

Her face must be even more interesting right now.

Horikita felt extremely embarrassed when Kamio Tatsuya saw her in such a disheveled state.

"You've seen my pathetic side again."

"If you're alright, go wash your face, otherwise people might think I did something to you."

Tatsuya Kamio didn't bother teasing her about it; it wasn't interesting.

"Thank you."

After quietly thanking him, Horikita followed Tatsuya Kamio into the bedroom and then into the bathroom.

Kamio Tatsuya's room was very well tidy, and even the bathroom was very clean, odorless, and even had a faint fragrance.

Well, as a slovenly man, this is naturally not thanks to Tatsuya Kamio, but he is not a lone wolf either.

Thank God.

Horikita went to the sink and saw that there was not only one set of toiletries on it, but also a set that was obviously for women, in addition to the men's set.

This belongs to Kamuro-kun, right?

Horikita picked up the purple cup, and sure enough, Masumi's name was written on the side.

Has their relationship progressed to this point?

With mixed feelings, Horikita quickly washed his face, then came out of the bathroom and sat down opposite Kamio Tatsuya.

Horikita Suzune didn't know why she didn't leave immediately, and Kamio Tatsuya didn't ask her either, but just silently packed her things.

He would occasionally frown, and sometimes even unconsciously tap the table with his pen.

There was nothing he could do; he was recalling the specific details of Dragon Raja 2 and considering whether to make some changes…

He actually has headaches too?

Since Horikita Suzune met Kamio Tatsuya, she had never seen Kamio Tatsuya have a headache over anything, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm writing a book."

Tatsuya Kamio didn't even look up, continuing to ponder the upcoming plot.

Furthermore, to prevent Horikita from continuing to question him, Kamio Tatsuya even took out a Dragonite he had bought earlier from the desk behind him and tossed it to Horikita.

This is a sample sent by the publisher, but it has Tatsuya Kamio's signature on it.

"Dragon clan?"

Horikita, who loves reading, had naturally heard of this currently very popular novel, but she was short of points and didn't buy it.

I never expected that Tatsuya Kamio would have this.

Then it suddenly dawned on her that Tatsuya Kamio had just said he was writing a book, and then he gave her one.

"This, you wrote this?"

With mixed feelings, Horikita asked the question.

Kamio Tatsuya nodded, not denying it. There was no need to hide it from Horikita; she would find out sooner or later anyway.

Moreover, Horikita keeps her mouth shut, so there's no need to worry about her spreading rumors everywhere.

“I plan to use the copyright of this book as an investment to start an editing company with your brother.”

Tatsuya Kamio has more than just Dragon Raja as an excellent IP; this is definitely a huge asset.

Who would have thought that I would be getting involved in the entertainment industry in this world?

"Editorial Office..."

Horikita paused for a moment, then suddenly became thoughtful.

With curiosity, Horikita turned to the first page.

On the blank title page, Horikita saw several large, artistically written characters—Gen Urobuchi.

The dragon's sentences were so beautifully written that Horikita was immediately captivated. When she came to her senses, she had no idea how much time had passed.

The only way to tell was by the color of the sky outside; it was already quite late.

With a sense of unfinished business, Horikita Suzune closed the book and looked at Kamio Tatsuya with anticipation.

"Can I borrow this book first?"

"Hmm, if you like it, I can give it to you. I have some more here."

Well, as the first signed book, it might be quite valuable as a collectible.

"If you're short of money, you might be able to sell it for a pretty good price."

In response to Tatsuya Kamio's joke, Horikita simply gripped the book in her hand and looked at Kamio seriously.

"It won't be sold!"

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After saying goodbye, Horikita left, eager to see what would happen next.

As soon as Horikita stepped out of the bedroom, she saw Kamuro open the outer door and walk in.

So the two of them just stood there looking at each other.

"Hello, Horikita-kun, what can I do for you, Tatsuya?"

In the end, Kamuro spoke first, after all, she was considered a member of the family.

"I've come to ask Kamio to borrow a dragon."

Horikita, of course, wouldn't tell Kamuro about his embarrassing incident. After thinking of the dragons, he immediately came up with an excuse.

"I see, Horikita-san also likes dragons?"

"Yes, I think it's very well written."

Horikita's expression was very complicated, especially when she thought about seeing the water glass in the bathroom earlier.

"Kamio-kun is still inside, so I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

"See you."

After seeing Horikita off, Kamuro narrowed his eyes, then pushed open the bedroom door and immediately began to observe the situation inside the room.

Hmm, the bed is tidy, the room doesn't smell, and Tatsuya's clothes aren't messy, so it seems he hasn't done anything out of line.

Good evening, Tatsuya.

"Oh, Masumi, what brings you here? Did you come to call me for dinner?"

“Yes, after all, you were the one who invited me.” Kamuro smiled. “By the way, I just saw Horikita.”

"Oh, before his brother graduated, he asked me to take care of his sister. I noticed that she was in a bad mood after parting ways with her brother, so I pulled her over to comfort her."

Kamio Tatsuya said in a relaxed tone, after all, he was just telling the truth.

However, Kamuro was speechless. You're using dragons to comfort a heartbroken person...

Have some decency.

"I'm going to the restroom. You tidy up, and then we'll go eat."

As she spoke, Kamuro walked into the restroom, which puzzled Tatsuya Kamio. "Why does Masumi come all the way to my restroom? What's wrong with her?"

However, Tatsuya Kamio quickly put the question out of his mind. After thinking about it for an afternoon, he decided to respect the original author.

After all, tragic stories are more memorable, and if he makes any random changes at his current level, he will only bury the masterpiece.

As for being criticized later...

Go ahead and complain. If you're not happy with the ending, create your own fanfiction. Do whatever you want, just don't kill me!

While Tatsuya Kamio was leisurely enjoying his spring break, Tsukishiro, the acting chairman of the school, was naturally not idle either.

A month earlier, in a conference room of a facility in Tokyo, a man who looked to be in his forties—Tsukishiro, the current acting chairman of Advanced Nurturing Junior High School.

"That concludes the detailed information on Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and the other 155 first-year students. Have you memorized it all?"

"Yes, by the time you get to school, they'll all be second-year students."

On the indoor screen, Moon City clearly displayed all the student information that the school had spent a year collecting.

It includes not only the student's name, date of birth, and school, but also their parents, siblings, academic performance from childhood, and friendships.

Some of its details were so detailed that even the homeroom teachers at the Advanced Education Middle School had never seen them.

"I have a question."

The person standing opposite Moon City raised their hand to indicate that they had a question.

"What's wrong?"

"That guy named Kamio Tatsuya, his records before high school were so ordinary, but after he went to this school, his performance was completely different."

"Who knows? Maybe his parents' death triggered something in him."

But Yuecheng couldn't understand this either.

Because the world is so wonderful. After all, Einstein's intelligence didn't seem to be very high when he was four years old.

"As a student of the White Room, it's not time for you to leave here yet."

You are very fortunate to have been selected to attend Advanced Education Secondary School, where you will experience school life.

However, don't forget, you only have one objective: to get Ayanokouji expelled from school.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, a fourth-generation member of the White Room, was the first successful product born from the White Room.

Although there were also successful works in the fifth generation, none of them could compare with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in the fourth generation in any aspect.

When the fifth generation reaches a new level in a certain aspect, the instructors in the White Room would say with a sigh: "Ayanokouji from the fourth generation is still stronger."

The intensity of the courses in the fourth and fifth sessions is completely different. If these people from the fifth session were placed in the fourth session, they would be considered quite capable if they could complete half of the project.

Of course, the instructors wouldn't tell these things to the fifth cohort of students; they would just habitually remark: "Ayanokouji from the fourth cohort was still stronger."

Therefore, the students of the fifth class can be said to have always lived in the shadow of a man named Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

No matter how hard they tried, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's name was like a mountain blocking their way, impossible to overcome.

The experiment was even terminated because of Ayanokouji's escape, because in the eyes of those in power, the experimental data of others were invalid without Ayanokouji.

This is why two types of people have emerged in the laboratory: one type hates Ayanokouji, who blames Ayanokouji for all their hard work that is not recognized by the higher-ups.

Another reason is that the extreme environment led to admiration for Ayanokouji. He was so amazing. Even though I am already very good, there are still people who are even more outstanding!

I really want to see him!

The person in front of Yuecheng was the top student of the fifth term, and he belonged to the first type of person, who hated Ayanokouji to the extreme.
