"I hope to create works that touch people's hearts in the future. I want to touch that person just as that person once touched me."
This was a response to a joke made by Ms. Machida before today’s book signing.
——"Maybe that Eromanga teacher will come too?"
Thinking about these, Shiyu's eyes involuntarily focused on a face.
Black hair, black eyes, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
The face is delicate and handsome.
The summer sunlight shining through the glass shimmered on the young man's shoulders.
firmly attracting her attention.
When the newcomers were appreciating the second volume of the work, it was an online artist who saved the heroine's work from being cut in half.
Therefore, the heroine secretly had a good impression of the painter before she got to know him. And this good impression gradually took on a new meaning as she got to know him better.
"...Oh, it actually exists. This kind of plot is like a novel..."
Shiyu, with a faint smile on his lips, whispered to himself.
"What's going to happen next...the girl from the upper-year department, the junior schoolgirl from the lower-year department...hehe, hehehe..."
Da da da da da da da
Along with the sound of stomping feet, a vague dark aura began to spread from the girl's body.
That's the realm of inspired creators.
"Xia, Teacher Xia? Are you okay?"
"Well……?"
The inquiry from An Yilunye brought Shiyu back from his deep consciousness.
"...what's wrong?"
The girl who raised her hair beside her ears said loudly and lowered her head to drink the drink.
"Ah, no..." An Yilun also swallowed secretly, "I always felt that what Teacher Xia looked like just now... was terrifying."
Kato Yusuke, who came back from buying a new drink, also sat down at his seat again.
The liquid flowing in the straw paused for a moment, and Shiyu changed the subject with a nonchalant expression.
"So, what are your opinions and thoughts about "Metronome of Love"?"
"Eh? What? Can we express our opinions?" An Yilun was also surprised.
"It's natural for the author to listen to the readers' feelings or wishes. After all, it's just for reference."
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu replied.
While supporting her arms on the table, the girl also gently supported her beautiful chin with the back of her hand, looking at the two of them with some interest.
Hear the words.
"That! Actually...!"
It was as if he wanted to shake out all the words he had not finished speaking at the book signing. After taking a deep breath, An Yilun continued to talk without hesitation.
"I have read the first volume more than twenty times! But I still cry every time I read it."
"At the end of the story, the part where Naoto worked hard for Sayuka touched me so much...but they subtly missed each other's feelings, which made me very anxious."
"As for Sayuka, maybe it's rude of me to say this, but she was a bit unrelatable at first, and she also had some ideas that I couldn't accept."
"But after I read it about five times, it started to make sense. I should say...she is a character who has that kind of psychological reaction."
"After reading it over and over like that, you will find a lot of details. Maybe it's just that my reading skills are not good enough, but I think the content is very in-depth."
"Anyway, it's great to see such an excellent work! It's simply a masterpiece! In fact, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep even last night."
Since I haven’t read the second volume yet, what Aki posted is my review of the first volume.
When he was in a state of excitement, he didn't care about the surrounding environment at all and just kept talking about his inner thoughts.
Shiyu didn't expect that the other party would be so enthusiastic and talkative, so she couldn't help but glance at Kato Yusuke next to her.
The young man's expression was very complicated.
If it were described in a way that Shiyu didn't know, then it should be like this——
(subway, old man, mobile phone).jpg
"Uh...you've read it so many times."
She didn't know what to say in response, and then turned her attention to Kato Yusuke.
"What about Kato-kun? How do you think it will develop after this? What kind of evolution do you like?"
There is an inexplicable sparkle in the dark red eyes.
"Huh?"
An Yilun also tilted his head and asked: "Well... Teacher Xia, Kato's problem seems to be different from mine."
"Aki-san?"
"yes……?"
The girl looked over with a kind face, "Can I let Kato-kun answer here?"
For some reason, An Yilun felt a freezing chill surge up from the back of his neck when he saw the other person's smile. So——
"Yes Yes!"
Shiyu nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to Kato Yusuke, pretending to be listening attentively.
Looking at this scene, Kato Yusuke said doubtfully.
"Isn't An Yi pretty much saying what I need to say just now?"
"Then, please give me some suggestions for the subsequent development of my work."
"My humble work..."
Chewing this word in his mouth, Kato Yusuke's eyes became subtle.
After thinking for a while, he decided to give the ordinary girl in front of him something exciting.
"Then let me tell you two stories." He said carefully, "Senior, have you ever heard of Tojo Aya and Nishino Tsukasa?"
"Dongcheng...Xiye..."
A thoughtful look flashed in Shiyu's eyes, and then she shook her head, "It's a name I've never heard of, but..."
The girl leaned forward slightly, folded her arms gracefully on the table, and responded with a smile: "Kato-kun will tell me, right?"
Kato Yusuke nodded in affirmation and recounted the story in his mind.
"This is a story about a fat strawberry who fell from the sky... The male protagonist who dreams of becoming a movie producer meets the first heroine of fate on the rooftop after school."
"In the end, he mistook the other person for another person, confessed his love to the second heroine, and unexpectedly won her heart."
"One side is a girl who has a common dream, and the other side is a lively and cute campus idol. Around this complicated triangular relationship, the three of them got to know each other and got to know each other."
…
"...and in this process, the originally wavering male protagonist gradually understood his true feelings and finally made a choice between the two women."
Having said this, he suddenly became silent.
"So what's next? Who did the male protagonist choose? You can tell me!"
An Yilun came up to him at some point, grabbed his arm and kept shaking it.
Regarding this.
"I always feel... the story is very cliché."
The girl made a noncommittal comment and raised her hand to move the hair hanging down on her face.
Then he opened one eye and said, "However, I am not uninterested in who the indecisive and scumbag male protagonist chose in the end."
Kato Yusuke just smiled and shook his head, and then said these words to the girl.
"Actually, it doesn't matter who you choose, but to that extent, you have to give readers a feeling that "no matter which side wins, it won't be surprising." This is my suggestion."
Hearing what he said, Shiyu's eyes flickered slightly.
After about three seconds, a sadistic smile appeared on the girl's lips.
"Kato-kun."
Shiyu stared at the other party and lightly opened her red lips.
"I have a proposal here, would you like to listen to it?"
