However, the Yamada fairy, who had not yet woken up, was clinging to him like an octopus, making it difficult for him to move.

Si Ji thought for a moment and said softly, "Zha Waludo."

After calling out the Stand-in World and pausing time, Si Ji carefully pulled his arm out of the girl's hand and replaced it with a salted fish pillow.

"Then time started to flow."

The girl didn't seem to realize that the thing in her arms had been swapped, and she continued to hold it tightly, as if it were precious.

Si Ji had already changed his clothes, put on his glasses, said good morning to the girl, and ran to make breakfast.

Before long, the alluring fragrance fluttered the nostrils of the sleeping girl. She then woke up and stared at the salted fish pillow in her arms in a daze.

I am so big, how can I have four seasons?

"Come and wash your face when you wake up and get ready for breakfast." Si Ji put a serving of Eggs Benedict on the table and said softly.

Because he had other things to do today, Shiki didn't make a complicated breakfast, but just some ordinary fried bacon and vegetable salad, plus a piece of grilled sweetfish.

Japanese sweetfish is a small fish. Because of its small size and tender meat, it is very suitable for barbecue. Ayu, like saury, is one of the few fish that can be eaten with its internal organs.

The grilled sweetfish made by Si Ji tastes a bit like fried miscellaneous fish, but the flavor is richer after grilling, and the meat is much more tender and delicious. You can chew it up and eat it even with the small fish bones.

The girl counted the breakfast on the table and was a little confused: "Why is there one less?"

"Xingna has been taken away. Her body has not fully recovered yet. She has to go to the hospital for checkups and intravenous drips over the next few days. She sneaked out yesterday."

Si Ji replied, "If you want her to stay here forever, you have to wait until her body is fully recovered."

Yamada Fairy immediately did an OTZ gesture of frustration and said, "Then what was the point of my entanglement yesterday..."

four seasons:"?"

After enjoying breakfast, Si Ji did not go to school, but ran to an agreed place.

It's next to the Hachiko statue outside the tram station.

"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Not long after, Sakurajima Mai, who was wearing her uniform today, hurried to his side and said loudly.

But Si Ji seemed unaware. He just looked like he was waiting for someone. He kept looking towards the tram stop and took out his cell phone from time to time to check the time.

Sakurajima Mai seemed to realize something. The smile on her face completely disappeared, and was replaced by a deep sense of loss and sadness.

Before her little pearls could fall from the corners of her eyes, Shiki took two cups of bubble milk tea from a delivery boy and handed one of them to Sakurajima Mai.

The girl looked at the milk tea handed to her, then stared blankly at Si Ji who had a smirk on his face, and immediately realized that this guy was just teasing her.

She was so angry that her cheeks bulged.

"Idiot! Bastard! Liar!"

The girl used her small fists to beat Si Ji without any deterrence, and there was a hint of crying in her voice: "I was really scared just now!"

"Sorry, sorry, I was just joking," Si Ji said while protecting the milk tea from being spilled, apologizing to her, "Here you go, I'm quite satisfied with the milk tea here."

Although she was frightened by Shiki at first, Sakurajima Mai seemed very happy after seeing that Shiki could still see her today. Even her attitude towards Shiki was much better than yesterday.

Soon the two arrived at Kasumigaoka Utaha's house yesterday, and Shiki pressed the doorbell just like yesterday.

For a long while, there was no response.

"Could Kasumigaoka-san have gone to school?" Sakurajima Mai guessed, "After all, it's getting late now."

"No way?" Si Ji pressed it a few more times without giving up.

Just when he was about to send out his substitute to go through the wall to see if Kasumigaoka Utaha was at home, the door opened from the inside.

"It's so noisy!" Kasumigaoka Utaha, who looked a little haggard with obvious dark circles under her eyes, looked at Shiki and said dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, Kasumigaoka-sensei, we're here to pick up the script we agreed on yesterday."

Shiki said with a formal smile on his face.

"What did you say 'we' to by yourself?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted, "But I have indeed finished writing it. You can take it away. From today on, there is no relationship between us. Don't come to see me again in the future."

Chapter 315 Disappointment

"Even if you want to kick me out, you should at least wait until I finish reading the script, right?"

Si Ji couldn't help but say with a wry smile.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at him for a long while with her wine-red eyes, and finally she sighed and opened the door.

"Excuse me." Shiki waved his hand and walked into the house with Sakurajima Mai, who was still drinking milk tea and sulking.

I don’t know if it was to make her writing life more free, but Kasumigaoka Utaha did not live with her parents. Instead, she moved out and rented a house to live in by herself.

The house she rented was not very big. The combined area of ​​the upper and lower floors was probably only slightly larger than a room in Washimiya-ryo.

"It's surprisingly clean here."

Mata Shiki glanced at the edge of the window. These corners and edges are often loopholes for cleaning and are the most likely to accumulate dust.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha's place was clean and tidy, without a trace of dirt.

"In the past, I would hire a housekeeper to clean the place. Now, when I have nothing to do, I will do it myself." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her chin slightly, her tone slightly tilted upward, and she said, "Is there really anyone who is too lazy to clean the place where they live? No way~"

It's a pity that her attack is ineffective against Shiki, because Shiki does clean the house. In the past, when the fairies didn't move in, he would even clean the entire Washimiya Dormitory as one of the few breaks in his busy work - whether they are literary masters or wealthy businessmen, most of their work is mental work after all. With their brains working non-stop on weekdays, a thorough cleaning that does not require any brain work and can also exercise the body can indeed be considered a break.

Now that he has some free time, he would occasionally clean, but he would leave most of the work to a stand-in and only do the simpler and less labor-intensive parts himself.

Therefore, he naturally didn't care about Kasumigaoka Utaha's sarcasm, and even talked to her about how to deal with the mold that is most likely to grow in the corners of the bathroom during the rainy season in the simplest and most convenient way, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha speechless...

Instead, Mai Sakurajima, who was drinking milk tea, was almost choked by the AOE.

It needs to be clarified that Sakurajima Mai is a very virtuous girl. Although her cooking skills are not as good as the professionally trained Yamada Fairy, she is more than capable of housework at home, and she is also above average in other aspects of housework.

But she has never really cleaned the house, because since she was a child star, her after-school life was much busier than that of ordinary children. In addition, the strong-willed girl didn't want her grades to be too bad and had been taking time to study hard, so naturally she couldn't have so much time to clean.

Suddenly, Mai Sakurajima's impression of this girl with the same long black hair as herself was subtly reduced.

When they arrived at the living room, Kasumigaoka Utaha handed the printed manuscript to Shiki and asked him to read it quickly and leave.

Si Ji, who didn't care about the other party's uncooperative attitude, took the manuscript, sat casually on the sofa, and began to read it carefully.

Si Ji reads very quickly, and before long he had finished reading the script, which had the equivalent of two chapters of the author's text.

He placed the manuscript on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and with a very natural movement, he moved it to the side, motioning Mai Sakurajima, who was sitting next to him and still trying to suck out the pearls, to take a look - perhaps because as a celebrity she needs to strictly manage her figure, Mai Sakurajima didn't seem to have drunk pearl milk tea before, and since no one could see her during this period of time, the girl had no appetite to eat, and her body instinctively craved sugar that could bring energy, so she seemed to be quite fond of the cup of pearl milk tea that Shiki offered her.

The girl held the straw in her mouth and picked up the script to start reading it.

The moment she picked up the script, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been staring at the script, looked blank for a moment, and then turned her attention to Shiki.

"So? Any questions now?"

"I really have a problem."

Si Ji's index finger tapped the marble coffee table unconsciously, making a rhythmic and crisp sound. "But it feels a bit troublesome to describe it one by one, so I'll just tell you the overall situation. In short..."

The smile on his face faded away, and he stared at the girl with burning eyes: "I'm quite disappointed."

"Varied……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression suddenly changed.

"Don't be so quick to get angry. Ask yourself first," Shiki completely ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha's anger. He placed his fingertips on his thighs, crossed his legs, stared at the girl calmly and asked, "Is that mediocre script that could be used to make dumplings really written by that 'Kasumigaoka Utaha'?"

"You clearly said you didn't ask for it!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately sneered and retorted: "Now that you're not satisfied, you blame me?"

"Yes, I did say that," Shiki did not deny it. He just continued, "Because I believe that Kasumigaoka Utaha is not the kind of person who is irresponsible with her writing. No matter how capricious that girl is, at least she is absolutely serious about her writing. Even though I don't like the messy character relationships in "Love Metronome", I can see her enthusiasm between the lines."

"But now, the passion is gone from this manuscript, and the style and writing style of Xia Shizi have changed as well, becoming just like everyone else. As a result, the articles she wrote have become 'excellent essays', and are no longer works of art that she carefully crafted."

Shiki looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose expression kept changing, and mercilessly criticized the script the girl had written for him: "The logic is confusing, a failure! The emotional foreshadowing is inappropriate, a failure! The story is straightforward without any ups and downs, a failure among failures! There are typos and missing words here? Did you see that? There are typos and missing words!"

"That's enough! If you hate it so much, then don't use it!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face looked extremely ugly, and she spoke to Shiki hatefully.

"No, I want it. Not only that, but I want to put Kasumi Shiko's name on the credits in the largest font possible."

Shiki said calmly, "Let everyone who has seen it know that this is the work of teacher Kasumi Shiko."

"What exactly do you want..." Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression suddenly became dangerous.

"It's not what I want, but as 'Kasumigaoka Utaha', do you think this is enough?" Shiki said in a persuasive tone: "Is this the writing that Kasumigaoka Utaha is most proud of?"

Chapter 316 Who is the Rabbit?

Mai Sakurajima put down the manuscript in her hand.

In her opinion, this manuscript was definitely not as bad as Si Ji said, but just as he described, it was just an "excellent composition", which was mediocre in itself and did not have many highlights.

Scripts of this level are indeed not uncommon in the warehouses of entertainment companies, and it is difficult for them to be selected as filming subjects.

She looked at Shiki and Kasumigaoka Utaha who were still in confrontation, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Because the manuscript reappeared, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately noticed it and grasped it in her hands.

She stared at the words for a long time.

"If you plan to revise it carefully, it doesn't matter if I come to pick it up tomorrow after a day."

Four Seasons then continued.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha just looked at the script without saying a word. On the back of her hand holding the manuscript paper, one could faintly see the blue veins bulging from excessive force, and her expression kept changing like an amoeba.

Even Sakurajima Mai, who was not familiar with her, could see her inner struggle at this moment.

But in the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand holding the script still dropped down weakly.

“I can’t write.”

She looked at Four Seasons and said frankly.

As if he had known she would say that, Si Ji stared at her for a moment before asking, "Why?"

"There's no reason. I just can't write!" Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly said excitedly: "'Kasumi Utako'... is dead!"

Si Ji looked at her quietly for a long while, without any surprise on his face.

He had heard Eriri mention before that Kasumigaoka Utaha was essentially a very casual person. The reason she attended classes obediently was because there were too many monsters in Toyosaki, which prevented her from getting first place in the grade. Having lost this title, she naturally had no confidence to ask the teacher for some privileges. If it were still the same in the past, she would probably rely on her grades and often pretend to be sick and skip classes.

It is impossible for such a Kasumigaoka Utaha to clean the house herself, and she would not even clean the windowsills, which are not easy to notice. So when the present Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly talked about her "past self", it was obvious that she wanted to separate the past Kasumigaoka Utaha from herself.

On the contrary, Sakurajima Mai felt a chill down her spine when the other party said that. From the conversation between the two, she naturally understood that the girl in front of her named Kasumigaoka Kasumi Laofei was the so-called 'Kasumi Shiko', but at this moment, the other party said loudly in a tone that didn't sound like a joke at all, 'Kasumi Shiko is dead'...

Mai Sakurajima calmly moved her little butt and approached Shiki as if nothing had happened, almost sticking completely to him.

"I can probably understand why you've become like this, but Kasumigaoka, you must also know that there is no one in this world that is liked by everyone. In the end, only each person can understand how they feel about making friends. If you want to please everyone, the result will be that you become an ordinary person who is indistinguishable from everyone else."

Four Seasons said in a deep voice: "In the end, even the unique things that I once had were lost."

He stood up, pulled the script out of the girl's hand, and then made a gesture as if to tear it into pieces.

"Choose now. If you want, I will tear up this manuscript and abide by what I said yesterday. I will never come to you again. If you plan to continue like this, say goodbye to 'Teacher Kasumi Shiko' and become an ordinary person."

"But if you still have even the slightest bit of reluctance, and don't want that 'Kasumi Shiko' to be like a bright meteor, just flashing by in the light novel world and even the entire Japanese literary world, and don't want that story to disappear without even a final ending, then take this manuscript from me and tell me to come and get the real 'it' tomorrow."

"I……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a long time. She stared at the manuscript in Shiki's hand. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but in the end she still lowered her head dejectedly and did not reach out her hand.

Just when Shiki had a sullen face and was about to tear the script into pieces and temporarily declare that his strategy against Kasumigaoka Utaha had failed, Sakurajima Mai suddenly moved.

She snatched the torn stack of manuscript paper from Shiki's hand and forced it into Kasumigaoka's hand. Then, facing Shiki, who twitched his eyes and showed a kind smile, she hurriedly grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and hid in the toilet.

She couldn't explain why she did such a thing impulsively, but Sakurajima Mai clearly saw that at the moment when Shiki was about to tear up the manuscript paper and let her and Kasumi Shiko bid farewell to their identities completely, there was indeed a deep reluctance and helplessness in her eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that if she did not do something to stop the four seasons, perhaps the future of this Kasumigaoka Kasumi Laofei would really change. She would eventually become indistinguishable from the crowd, without her past talents, and no longer be herself.

Mai Sakurajima felt as if she saw another herself.

That's why she did such a thing in a fit of anger.

But what the girl didn't know was that there was no possibility of Si Ji being attacked by surprise - he possessed the ultimate martial arts and had the skill of 'Ahead of the Time' which allowed him to almost sense the future in a short period of time in a small space!

To take a step back, even if Xianzhixian suddenly failed, Shiki still had his own substitute world, whose reaction speed would be far beyond that of ordinary people, and would autonomously defend against sneak attacks from the outside world.
