"Worried? Worried about what?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked without raising her head, because her eyes were attracted by the cover of the top novel in the stack in her hand.
The beautiful girl with long black straight hair, black stockings, a school uniform, a white headband, and the way she stands with her arms folded and looks at a cockroach gives Kasumigaoka Utaha an unusually peculiar sense of familiarity.
Shizuka Hiratsuka took a long puff of her cigarette and said, "Of course I was worried that you couldn't control your mouth. Fortunately, you listened to me and ate quietly, listening more and talking less. But, Mr. Qin has a calm and gentle temperament. It will be very comfortable and natural to get along with him. I don't think you can find any fault with him."
"Let's not talk about the fact that Mr. Qin is indeed excellent and impeccable. Mr. Hiratsuka, are you taking me for a fool? I'm stupid enough to speak nonsense to a big shot that even the daughter of the famous Yukinoshita family in Chiba Prefecture has to treat with great respect?"
"Uh..."
"Hiratsuka-sensei, even though I have a sharp tongue, it doesn't mean I have no brains."
"...Huh? You actually have some self-awareness?!"
"...Of course I know myself well. I'm not like some people who are almost 30 and still can't get married, but still insist that there's no rush."
This stinky brat...
There was suddenly a "well" on Shizuka Hiratsuka's forehead, but she suppressed her anger and tried to argue - oh, to explain her own situation.
"Shiyu, you misunderstood. I'm really not in a hurry. After all, we are in this era..."
"Teacher, let's not talk about that for now. Look at this." If it were a normal day, Kasumigaoka Utaha would never let Hiratsuka Shizuka go, but at the moment she had no mind to do so.
"What?" Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned over and looked at the novel that Kasumigaoka Utaha was holding up.
"Who does this cover illustration look like to you?"
"Who does she look like... Eh? You know what, she looks a lot like you, Shiyu. If she wore our Sobu student uniform, it would look even better... What a coincidence..."
"What a coincidence..." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka, "How did the legal wife take out these novels just now? Did you see it?"
"Legally married... this title is really..." Shizuka Hiratsuka thought for a moment after talking, and finally shook her head, "I didn't see it. Maybe we didn't notice it before."
"They, including the Yukinoshita sisters, don't have anything to hold so many novels, which means they can only hold them. These are nearly twenty books. If someone really holds so many books, we can't have failed to notice it."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "What do you mean?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. "I don't mean anything else. I just find it incredible. Or maybe I'm overthinking it. We just didn't notice it before."
"Okay... then what?"
"There is about an hour left before the agreed time. Let's go wait near the Fuzu River?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't continue to dwell on those things. She now wanted to find a place to read the novel in her arms.
"Okay." Of course Shizuka Hiratsuka had no objection.
Then the two went to the parking lot to get the car, and soon got into Shizuka Hiratsuka's car. After starting the car, they set off for the headquarters building of Fuzukawa Publishing House.
About ten minutes later, on the way to Fuzugawa Publishing House, Shizuka Hiratsuka noticed out of the corner of her eye that Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting in the passenger seat reading a novel, had a gradually strange expression on her face, and even slowly became ugly, and later even became angry. This puzzled Shizuka Hiratsuka, and she asked out of curiosity.
"What? Is this novel terrible?"
"It's more than terrible, it's an eyesore!"
"Oh?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's almost gritted teeth response surprised Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her book and quickly flipped through most of the first episode. After checking the printing time and publisher, she closed her eyes for a while, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then spoke.
"Teacher, let's not talk about the novel for now. How well do you know Mr. and Mrs. Qin?"
"Them? It's the first time I've seen them, the first time I've heard of them. That's all."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked a little disappointed, and then asked, "Are the two daughters of the Yukinoshita family familiar with that couple?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it seems like they are very familiar with each other, especially Yukino actually called the legal wife teacher, which I have never heard of. Maybe calling her teacher proves that they are very familiar with each other. I don't know what Yukino learned from the legal wife."
"...Teacher, can you turn back? I want to ask those two something." Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
"Eh? What's in that novel?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise, and then quickly looked back ahead, after all, she was still driving.
"This..." Kasumigaoka Utaha was speechless. She really didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to say it because the 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' in the novel was too shameful and too degrading.
Although she hasn't seen the later plot yet, and the school set in the novel is also different, except for Kato Megumi, whom she has not seen yet, or has seen but has no impression of, she knows people like Aki Tomoya and Sawamura Eriri, who are all students of Sobu.
Eriri Sawamura is very famous in school, especially with her golden hair. It's impossible for Kasumigaoka Utaha not to have an impression of her.
As for Tomoya Aki, she had a big argument with the teachers a few days ago because she wanted to put comics and light novels into the school library, and she also knew about the existence of this new student.
The characters match, but the backgrounds are different, and the story unfolds in a way that makes Kasumigaoka Utaha furious. No matter how unbearable the 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' in the story is, just the various mental activities of the male protagonist Tomoya Aki make people want to draw their swords and kill people.
Chapter 299: Shiyu's Suspicion - Part
Of course, none of this matters. The point is that, according to the publication information of this novel, it was published in 2012.
If this "Fujimi Shobo" publishing house, which has never been heard of, is not misleading, and the publication date is correct, then this book was published when she was in elementary school, and the creation time should be even earlier.
In this way, the character settings in this book have a sense of "prophecy".
What's even more amazing is that she only started writing "Love Metronome" at the end of last year, submitted it to the publishing house this year, and it was published. She also decided on the pen name "Xia Shizi" this year, and even her editor-in-chief Machida Yuanzi, all appeared "correctly" in this novel.
From this perspective, this light novel titled "The Boring Girlfriend" is a flawed prophecy book.
Coupled with the playful smile her legal wife had on her face when she was reading the novel, she had to make a preliminary conclusion - this was truly a book of prophecies.
Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha has another initial theory in mind that is not so subversive.
For example, this novel is really a prank by that couple. They are rich but have no place to spend their money. After investigating her situation, they asked someone to use her environment as a reference to create such a disgusting thing.
But this explanation doesn't make sense. At least, Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't think she has anything worthy of the attention of those powerful people.
After all, she was just the daughter of an ordinary civilian family.
On the contrary, if this really is a flawed prophecy book, then her existence as a person suspected to be involved in the novel is worth remembering.
But no matter whether it is the former or the latter, this matter is closely related to her, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and what's more terrible is that the other party is the kind of powerful and unattainable person.
No matter what the other party is planning, being targeted by such a being is definitely not a good thing. At least Kasumigaoka Utaha cannot be too optimistic.
In this situation, Kasumigaoka Utaha really doesn't want to drag irrelevant people into it.
Especially this old maiden who was almost 30 years old. She was essentially a good person. She was even like a decent and passionate teacher from a comic book. She took good care of her in school and even once tried to guide her to change her introverted personality out of good intentions.
She really didn't want to cause trouble or even bring danger to someone who truly cared about her.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's silence surprised Hiratsuka Shizuka, but she couldn't help but mutter, "I always feel like you're thinking about something bad..."
So sharp...
Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked and said, "I won't tell you any more about this novel, teacher."
"Eh? Why?"
"No reason, um, it's just that the novel recommended by Mr. Qin's legal wife is so bad, so bad that I want to complain to her face. But now I don't want to, that's it."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Yes, oh, I mean--"
"You let it slip!"
"Anyway, teacher, don't worry about it. Just pretend I didn't say anything before - don't look over here. I'm driving."
"...How about this, I'll ask Yang No tonight and try to understand the situation as much as possible, and you should calm down a little and don't panic. In this era, we are not afraid of mixed people, but we are afraid of 'good people' who like to follow the rules."
"Teacher, I'm not panicking."
"Then stop stamping your feet."
"......" Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks turned red.
Shizuka Hiratsuka added, "I can be sure that there is no Chinese named Qin among the famous families or forces in Japan. Maybe the Qin couple is very popular in China, but Japan is still a colony of the United States after all, and it is difficult for forces from China to enter."
"Teacher, it's a good thing I don't care about that. If some extreme rightists heard what you said, you would definitely be in trouble."
"Tsk, my family is pro-China, this is no big deal."
"Oh? Can you tell me more about it, teacher?"
"What's there to say? You don't have to worry too much. If anything happens, remember to notify me immediately."
“...Oh.” Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips and finally nodded.
However, it was just a response.
Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually calmed down and felt that the other party's intentions were still unclear, and it was too early to draw conclusions. Everything should be considered after the other party clarified his intentions...
......
The camera returns to Qin Bin.
On the shopping street, Qin Bin was shopping with Xiaobai, Xueno, Yangno and others while passing a message to Xiaobai.
[Qin Bin: So, you changed your mind again. Instead of kidnapping people directly, you want to torture them?]
[Xiao Bai: You're going too far. I just wanted to see their reactions. Didn't you give Yukino a DVD too? ]
【Qin Bin: It's different in nature. Xueno already knows some of our situations. I, or you, have also explained the "plot". In this case, Xueno will only be surprised that she came from a comic book or something, and she won't think about it. But it's different for Kasumigaoka Utaha. I can guarantee that she must have started to be suspicious at this moment. Of course, if it's just this level of tossing, I won't stop you.】
【Xiao Bai: Hehe~ That’s good. By the way, do you think she will come over and ask directly?】
【Qin Bin: It’s hard to say. Judging from her age and the character set in the original novel, she will most likely come to ask directly. But the problem is that this is a real world, and she is also a normal person. Under the influence of external factors such as different environments, any decision she makes is not strange, and there is no reliable basis for judgment. In short, it is difficult to make a judgment because of the limited understanding of her reality.】
【Xiao Bai: It seems so... Never mind, it doesn’t matter whether she comes or not, I’ll go tease her later. 】
【Qin Bin: As long as you are happy.】
[Xiao Bai: Hmm... By the way, do you think it is better to give the original novel to the golden-haired loser or to her mother? ]
[Qin Bin: Judging from the original character, if you want to see excitement, give it to the golden-haired loser, she will definitely make a fuss. On the contrary, the adult Sayuri Sawamura will be very steady, nothing to watch. ]
[Xiao Bai: That makes sense. Let’s go find the golden loser and Kato Megumi before we go home.]
【Qin Bin: OK.】
After the spiritual interaction, Qin Bin accompanied Xiaobai and the others to enjoy the fun of shopping without having to worry about their wallets.
Qin Bin and Xiao Bai's purchase of almost truckloads of household items also made Yang Noi and Xue Noi's eyelids twitch.
Especially every time when a store was about to clear out the goods, Qin Bin would expand the cognitive interference technique, and in public, he would slowly and carefully put the packaged items into the space ring, which made Yang Noi and Xue Noi amazed and their hearts burned.
There is no way, mysterious, mysterious, the more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is.
Putting aside Yang Noi, Xue Noi really has great hope for the future at this moment.
By the afternoon, Qin Bin and Xiaobai stopped shopping contentedly and separated from the Yukinoshita sisters.
Qin Bin and Xiaobai did not return to the Eternal Continent, but teleported directly to Sobu High School.
Yukino and Haruno drove home.
On the way back to Chiba Prefecture, Yukino, who was sitting in the passenger seat, briefly recounted what happened during lunch when Haruno went out to answer the phone and pick someone up.
Yang Nao, who was driving, couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "So this is why you call her teacher, that's great!"
"It's really good." Yukino nodded slightly and said, "But sister, you were, um, too... attentive today. You must be tired, right?"
"Eh? No."
"No?"
"Yes, to be honest, she and I get along very well. If she wasn't so special, I would have wanted to be her sister, um, sworn brother or something. Of course, this is just a thought. The gap is too big. I am not qualified at all."
Yang Nai's words surprised Xue Nai, but looking at Yang Nai's smile that came from the heart, Xue Nai remembered what Qin Bin had said before.
——Compatibility...
After thinking for a while, Xue Noi shook her head and smiled, then changed the subject and said, "Sister, come to my room later."
"Okay, what?"
"Let's watch...anime together."
"Eh? Anime?"
"Look ahead."
"Oh..."
Xue Nai added, "Mr. Qin told me. I don't know what the situation is, Mr. Qin just told us, and we can understand it after reading it."
"That's it..."
After hearing what her sister said, Yang No no longer asked any more questions and became slightly more expectant...
