I refuse to be a plagiarist

The scene of Hasegawa Hide sending the strange woman to the car just now emerged in her mind. The naturalness and kindness expressed on the other person's face was an experience she had never had in such a long time.

The time goes back to half a year ago.

When everyone had just entered Sobu High School, among the countless classmates, Yukinoshita Haruno noticed at a glance the handsome boy in the crowd who was dressed simply and had a very low sense of presence.

Hasegawa Hide.

She learned this name by chance from the teacher's roster after the classes were divided.

Not taking the initiative to interact with me is just an obvious inducement.

What really made Yukinoshita Haruno interested in the boy was, after all, his clarity of goal and the effort and persistence he showed in achieving it.

Although it may not seem like a big deal at first glance, compared to the classmates around her who are aimlessly wasting their time, Hasegawa Hide, who has clear ideas and is focused, instantly becomes shining in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes.

——This is an interesting guy.

I came to the conclusion silently in my heart.

With this thought in mind, in the following days, she began to find ways to tease this seemingly cold classmate in her daily life.

It's like... tinkering with a toy that you're very interested in.

Yes, toys.

Whether it was the ambiguity in the eyes of her classmates, the overly intimate interactions in daily life, or even the help in finding a job before... these were actually the result of Yukinoshita Haruno deliberately doing things in order to make Hasegawa Hide become her own shape.

What do high school teenagers who are in puberty pay most attention to?

Study? Games?

No, these are too one-sided.

In the neon environment, what high school boys desire most is to have a sweet love with the girl they like.

As a beautiful girl with both talent and beauty who is good at playing with people's hearts, Yukinoshita Haruno naturally knows how to target the target's weaknesses and flexibly utilize her greatest advantages to achieve her goals faster and better.

Beneath the sunny appearance lies a dark heart.

Wantonly playing with things that interest her to the point of destruction... this is the unknown bad taste of Yukinoshita Haruno.

It’s just that life is sometimes full of surprises and surprises.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had grown up smoothly in the past, never expected that the "toy" she had set her eyes on would have such a terrifying inner strength!

Faced with his daily life full of various hints and even behavior that is comparable to throwing himself at the girl, the boy did not show any yearning for sweet love at all. He still maintained his regular life pattern of going to school - working - going home to sleep, which was as stable as a triangle structure.

At the beginning, she even thought that the other party was deliberately keeping her hanging. She sneered in her heart and then tried to use a series of social methods to counterattack.

However, it turned out that all this was just Miss Yang Noi's own assumptions.

In the following period of time, no matter how much Yukinoshita Haruno tossed around, Hasegawa Hide still maintained his original life routine.

Study in class, work to earn money, go home and rest...

In addition to being confused and doubtful, the frustrated Yukinoshita Haruno once asked the other party indirectly and tentatively: What is the reason why you have always turned a blind eye to other things in life?

To this day, she still clearly remembers that evening after school. Facing her temptation, Hasegawa Hide turned around and said to her in a calm tone, some heavy but extremely realistic words:

"Miss Yang Nai, unlike you, I have to make money for myself.

Poetry and distant places are certainly desirable...

But for me, those are luxuries that I can only pursue after I have 'bread'."

He was clearly just explaining a very simple fact, and his face didn't show any unusual emotions...but as the one who took the initiative to ask the question, Yukinoshita Haruno's heartbeat quickened for a moment, and she felt as if she read a hint of mockery from the other party.

This is the sorrow of wise men.

In fact, Hasegawa had no intention of mocking the other party's naive ideas at that time. After all, after a semester of getting along and interacting with each other, he gradually became aware of the shrewdness hidden under the girl's gorgeous mask.

But perhaps because of the intrigues she had experienced in the past, to Yukinoshita Haruno herself, the boy's behavior had been passively given a subjective tone by the girl's imagination.

But compared to all this, she ultimately believed Hasegawa's words.

After all, Maslow's pyramid tells us that in the face of the pressure of survival, people will naturally and actively reduce unnecessary desires and needs.

But it’s different now!

Hasegawa told Yukinoshita Haruno about his meeting with a mature woman in a cafe. It seems that what this guy said to her in the classroom last semester was not as reliable as she thought.

Chapter 7 Getting Better

[Isn’t it a “luxury product”? 】

【fraud! 】

[Hasegawa...Isn't he going to max out his new credit card on that woman this time?!]

I complained in my heart with indignation.

As the scene of the two people saying goodbye to each other on the street appeared in her mind, at this moment, an unprecedented sense of frustration lingered in Yukinoshita Haruno's heart.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, due to preconceived notions, the person who negotiated with the editor has been labeled a "pig's hoof" by her.

"Hasegawa...

Humph, milk spilled on the oil road!"

Chewing the other person's name with gnashing teeth.

In addition to the frustration of being defeated, at this moment, the girl also felt a kind of anger of being fooled.

I wonder when Yukinoshita Haruno has ever suffered such injustice since she was born!

Her pretty face had a slightly unnatural blush due to her anger.

It was because of this bad mood that the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family even temporarily forgot her etiquette and stomped her feet angrily in front of a group of passers-by on the street.

The girl did not try to suppress this impulse.

Her intuition told her that if she didn't do something to vent her feelings now, she might even fall asleep with her fists clenched...

————————————

Compared to the frustration and annoyance in Yukinoshita Haruno's heart, Hasegawa, who was strolling on his way home, was in a completely opposite mood.

He was humming a merry tune softly, and his steps became so brisk because of his happiness that he looked like a squirrel jumping around in the forest with a pine cone in its arms.

The negotiation with the editor went quite smoothly.

After waiting for about another week, he would officially have the identity of a "writer" and start his journey as a plagiarist in this world.

This also means that Hasegawa Hide will get rid of the crazy daily work routine and focus on the things he likes.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

Perhaps as preferential treatment for a "genius boy", after learning about Hasegawa's financial difficulties, Akane Akasaka even made the decision on her own to secure for him a subsidy similar to the rising star incentive program.

"Fight to Break Through the Atmosphere"...Although the name seems a bit strange, as an editor and former author, she has keenly realized the potential behind this story.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Providing convenience to the young man in front of him, in a sense, can be considered as an advance investment and gesture of goodwill on the part of Akane Hongsaka.

Although this amount is not much compared to the subsidy, for a high school student, if it is simply used for daily expenses, it is undoubtedly more than enough.

This subsidy means that Hasegawa will no longer have to worry about the funds for basic living needs from tonight onwards. Even his life of running around to various part-time jobs after school every day can come to an end forever.

But in the end he tactfully declined the editor's help.

It's not that he hates owing a favor to Akane Akane. After all, Hasegawa, who has long gotten rid of his middle school years, knows very well that as long as he is in this social environment, it is impossible for him to completely cut off contact with different people.

In this way, owing favors to others naturally becomes unavoidable.

Sometimes, actively owing or being owed a favor is even a goodwill signal that the other person wants to establish a relationship with you.

but......

[Alas... This is probably just the pride of a man at work.]

He sighed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Perhaps it was a fight between young men, or perhaps it was the middle school mentality that was imprinted deep in every boy's soul.

At least for the current situation, before he is completely desperate, Hasegawa Hide still hopes to create a new world with his own hands.

The storms and thorns experienced on the road to growth, in addition to the blows at the time, will later condense into valuable experience and wealth that the parties involved will find unforgettable.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Although he has decided to embark on the path of plagiarism, before the future is completely clear, Hasegawa Hide feels that he does not seem to have the capital to quickly go from frugality to luxury and enter the leisurely life mode of "elderly people" in advance...

After returning home and washing up, he took out the ancient humanoid robot that had accompanied him for countless years from his jacket pocket.

As a relic of the old era, this tiny thing only has a few basic functions, but for Hasegawa, being able to use it to make calls and send text messages is enough.

His fingers quickly pressed on the physical keyboard that had been eliminated from the market. After searching for a while, he finally stopped at a note for "silver" and began to edit it skillfully:

Saturday afternoon 1500:1, suburban XX heavy industry, hourly wage 2 yen, team formation (/)......

The fingers danced flexibly.

The person noted by Hasegawa as "Shirogane" is Shirogane Miyuki's full name, and is currently a first-year high school student at Shuchiin. He was a partner he met by chance while working part-time.

Compared to Hasegawa's miserable situation of being alone, Shirogane Miyuki's parents are still alive, but they divorced a long time ago for some unknown reasons. His mother went to an unknown place alone, and now Shirogane Miyuki and his sister live with their father who earns hourly wages by working part-time as a temporary worker.

The company they ran had gone bankrupt long before their divorce, and due to their limited financial conditions, the family of three now has to live in a very small rental house.

It is said that the children of poor people become rich early.

It was precisely because of this terrible economic situation that the two people who had no connection with each other met and got to know each other while working.

Accompanied by a "ding dong" prompt sound.

Not long after Hasegawa pressed the send button of the text message, he received a reply from Shirogane Miyuki.

However, compared with his cumbersome description, the other party's reply contained only a simple (2/2) and a humanized fist symbol.

"Tsk, this kid......"

He gently laughed and scolded the other person.

It is said that Stand users can attract each other.

Although it is unlikely that such supernatural things as Stand users exist in this world, these two young men, who were both determined to move forward in the face of adversity, quickly developed into good friends who could talk about anything through their mutual understanding.

This is probably what it means to feel like old friends at first sight.

So, taking advantage of this weekend when they were working together as a group, he decided to tell his friend that he was going to run away in a week.

Chapter 8: Hiratsuka Shizuka: I've Seen Through Everything

Friends can also be divided into different types of closeness and distance.

Compared to Yukinoshita who always tries to plot against him at school, for Hasegawa, Shirogane Miyuki, who has a strong sense of responsibility, is more like a close friend whom he can truly trust.

This is a gut feeling.

Although those blue eyes seemed a little fierce due to his daily cultivation and study, as a person, Hasegawa could feel a unique personal charm in this young man named Shirogane Miyuki that made people want to trust him.

This feeling is quite wonderful, and even if we put this aside, when we worked part-time together on weekdays, the other party also helped me in many small ways.

Return the peach.

If there is a chance in the future, he still hopes to help this serious partner who likes to care about the people around him.......

————————————

The alarm clock started to chime at six in the morning.

But before it could release its loud voice, a hand suddenly fell and pressed the off button.

——Hasegawa Hide

Perhaps because he did not practice Taoism, he returned to his normal schedule and became the healthy boy who went to bed early and got up early.

Put on the same student uniform that never changes.

Although he has his own taste, for now, this is the most suitable and presentable outfit for Hasegawa Hide.

By the way, this embarrassing situation seems to be the same for Baiyin Yuxing...

After a simple wash, he began his daily morning meal.
