Chapter 46
In Sayuri Sawamura’s early warning system, a boy named Kasugano Toru has been upgraded to the highest alert level. If she were to rank the most dangerous people in her world, this boy named Kasugano Toru would definitely be in the top three. To some extent, she even felt that this boy was more dangerous than Mr. Spencer’s childhood sweetheart who lived far away in the Great Ying Empire.
One was trying to steal her husband, and the other was trying to steal her daughter.
If Kasugano Toru knew what Sayuri Sawamura was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.
……
Kasugano Toru did feel wronged, but it was not because of Sayuri Sawamura’s misunderstanding.
“Senior sister, you are making it too difficult for me.……”The boy’s voice was weak, as if he was unable to defend himself.
As soon as the lunch break started today, he was called to the rooftop by Kasumigaoka Utaha. To be honest, he was quite interested in the place where Makoto had fought.
Although it was not in this school, it should be roughly the same, right?
But after being called to the rooftop and Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth, Toru Kasugano knew that he might have to face a battle today.
“”Kasugano-kun, this is the revised outline of the second volume, you can take a look first.” Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her temples, her face full of fatigue.
It seems that she has been staying up late a lot recently.
It’s just that Kasugano Toru and she are not in the same class, otherwise it would be obvious that this girl would lie on her desk every day after school and sleep like a dead person. She would not wake up until lunch break, and after eating something simple, she would fall asleep again.
Even so, she was able to get the first place in Fengzhizaki for two consecutive years. Kasugano Toru had to admit…
Is studying in Japan such a simple thing?
Well, a student with only average grades dared to say such arrogant words, which is really unique.
Taking over the outline of the second volume of”Love Metronome”, Kasugano Toru munched on bread while flipping through the outline.
The boy nodded from time to time and frowned from time to time, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha’s heart go up and down..
To be honest, she herself didn’t know why she cared so much about Kasugano Toru’s thoughts.
If it was for the sake of gaining recognition from others, then there was no need.
Because the sales of the first volume had already proved everything, more than 100,000 fans were willing to empty their wallets for her writing, which was already a high level of recognition.
But Kasumigaoka Utaha just felt that she should ask the young man in front of her what he thought about the novel she had written.
And if it weren’t for this person’s help, perhaps she would have made a huge mistake when writing the second volume.
After about twenty minutes, Kasugano Toru closed the outline in his hand, folded the empty bread bag and stuffed it into his pocket, and then said,”Senior, to be honest, if you only look at the outline, this is no longer a novel I can evaluate.”
It has been said long ago that Kasugano Toru’s greatest strength is his self-knowledge.
When Kasugano Utaha brought out the first draft of the outline, even as an ordinary reader, Kasugano Toru had a lot to complain about. Not to mention that the boy at the time was Kasugano Utaha’s most important partner, and illustrations and light novels are always mutually beneficial.
But after reading the outline in his hand, Kasugano Toru had a strong premonition that the second volume of”Love Metronome” would definitely have a very exciting story unfolding.
If it were a painting, Kasugano Toru would definitely be able to tell a story. But light novel creation is a completely different field. As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. Kasugano Toru is not so arrogant as to think that he can guide insiders.
At least in his opinion as a reader, this outline is qualified.
The rest is to use Kasugano Utaha’s writing style, which is far superior to that of her peers, to turn simple lines into gorgeous paintings.
Of course, in this process, Kasugano Toru also needs to play his own value.
“”Kasugano-kun, it’s really not easy to get a compliment from you.” Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how nervous she was when Kasugano Toru frowned just now. And how happy she was when she saw him nod.
The girl’s mood was just like Sayuka in her own writing, changeable, sensitive, and delicate.
“But I’m also here for this book, senior, you don’t know me yet.” Seeing that all the questions mentioned before were avoided, Kasugano Toru also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he could even joke and brag.
Unexpectedly, the boy thought that his joke would definitely be counterattacked by Kasumigaoka Utaha, but he didn’t expect that the girl just nodded and nothing happened.
Kasugano Toru certainly didn’t know what the girl was thinking.
“I’m doing this for your own good!” How many people have used this sentence as an excuse to kidnap one person after another.
Not to mention the distant past, let’s just say that the illustrator who had a falling out with Kasumigaoka Utaha recently, wasn’t the banner he used for the good of the book”Love Metronome”?
But how many people really know what Kasumigaoka Utaha is thinking and what she needs?
They just made decisions on their own, using the way they think is most appropriate, to give the book an ending they think is most suitable.
Such behavior is very similar to the self-righteous behavior of countless parents.
But Kasugano Toru is obviously not like this. From the first time they met, he poked the most sensitive and softest part of the girl’s heart. He saw all the girl’s hopes for the role of Sayuka.
When discussing the outline not long ago, they also pointed out the mistakes that might be made in this book, as well as the difficulties that might be faced after making mistakes.
From beginning to end, Kasugano Toru has been constantly implementing this sentence with his actions:”I’m really doing this for the good of the book”Love Metronome”!”
He could have used a simpler and more brutal method, just like his predecessor. Anyway, the helpless Kasumigaoka Utaha had little choice.
If Kasugano Toru hadn’t appeared, she could have rejected one artist, two artists, but she couldn’t reject all illustrators.
In the end, she still had to compromise.
Unless she wanted to see the novel”Love Metronome” cut off.
“”Kasugano-kun, thank you.” The girl’s voice was ethereal and far-reaching, and it spread freely with the spring breeze.
If Kasugano Toru hadn’t been looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, he might not have known that the girl would thank him.
“Senior, this really confuses me. I really don’t understand what is worthy of your thanks.”No merit, no reward. Everything Kasugano Toru did was based on the premise that he received a considerable salary.
Eat the salary of the emperor and be loyal to the emperor. This is the bottom line of Kasugano Toru.
People may be poor, but they should not be short-sighted!
Kasumigaoka Utaha put the wind-blown hair behind her ears, and used this action to cover up the behavior of wiping the corners of her eyes.
Why thank you?
Only she herself understands this.
