Chapter 146 Eavesdropping and Being Overheard
"Ah? Is that blond girl with twin tails actually Eiri? What a coincidence, isn't it?" Iura Hide couldn't help but was slightly startled and raised his eyebrows subconsciously.

But then he felt that this was nothing to be surprised about.

This shop seems to be very popular among Toyosaki High School students, so it is normal for Eri to eat here after school.

At most.
"Yinglili is really as poor as in the original article."

"Ah!"

The comments from her idol made Yinglili, who was eating mashed potatoes with a small spoon, sneeze violently and almost sprayed the face of the girl sitting opposite her.

But the girl just smiled, then thoughtfully picked up the napkin and handed it to Yinglili, without looking angry at all.

She must be a very gentle girl.

But at this time, Iura Hide's focus has shifted to another issue.

"Is Kasumigaoka Shiyu sick?"

"You haven't come to school for two days. It shouldn't be a cold or fever, right?"

"Then do you want to send a message to say hello?"

Jinguraxiu thought silently in his heart, and was a little undecided for a moment.

To be honest, he was a little confused about his current relationship with Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

If we go by the length of time they have known each other and the extent of their understanding, they should be just ordinary friends.

But he hugged Kasumigaoka Shiyu, kissed him, touched almost all the places on his body that could and couldn't be touched, and more than once. Can they still be considered ordinary friends?

Please! This is not a one-night stand in a bar.

What's more, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is one of his favorite 'wives'.

According to this relationship, when he learned that Kasumigaoka Shiu was sick, and the illness seemed to be a bit serious, it was normal for him to send messages of concern and greetings, or to visit her at home.

But the problem is that after Kasumigaoka Shiyu found out he had a girlfriend last time, she got angry and left with a cold face.

And after that, he never took the initiative to contact him again.

Does this mean that you no longer want to have any contact with him?
If this is the case, then if he sends a message, even if it is just a concerned inquiry, it will disturb Kasumigaoka Shiyu, right?
"Senior, do you know Kasumigaoka Shiu-senpai from our school?"

Just when he was still hesitating, Da Kong across from him suddenly asked.

Although Kitagawa Uimuo's abominable dog abuse behavior made her want to cover her eyes, the ability to observe words and emotions that she had honed by working in high-end bars in Roppongi and Ginza for many years still made her subconsciously look at Eri at Iura Hide. , I noticed it immediately.

Later, when Iura Hide eavesdropped with her ears raised, she was also eavesdropping.

Now seeing that Iura Hide was slightly distracted, she immediately guessed that it was because of Kasumigaoka Shiu's illness.

Of course, because her impression and favor of Iura Hide have been greatly improved again, and Iura Hide has become the best and most perfect boy of the same age in her eyes. In addition, Iura Hide dares to be generous with Kitagawa Uimu here. The fast food restaurant full of their school classmates showed affection and spread dog food, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Iura Shukai and Kasumigaoka Shiu.

So she didn't hide anything and asked directly and openly.

After coming back to his senses, Iura Hideo didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, but he still nodded 'honestly'.

"Well, she and I signed a contract with the same publishing house, and our two editors are also very good friends. In addition, we are both high school light novel writers, and the light novels we write are all in the same romance genre. So we also exchanged writing skills and experiences with each other under the introduction of the editor, so we should be considered good friends.”

When Da Kong saw what he said so frankly, he suddenly had no doubts in his heart.

The somewhat neurotic Kitagawa Uimuo didn't know that the so-called 'exchange of writing skills and experiences' also included hugging, kissing, and even almost communicating at a negative distance, so he didn't feel there was any problem.

In contrast, they were more curious about Kasumigaoka Shiu's ability to write romantic light novels.

"Ah? Is Kasumigaoka-senpai actually writing a romantic light novel?" Nou Sugatani tilted her head slightly, showing a cute expression like a little cat, and asked curiously.

"Uh, um." Iura Hide was slightly startled at first, and then rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

It was only after Sugatani Nou asked him that he realized that Kasumigaoka Shiu secretly wrote light novels, but she didn't reveal it to her classmates at school.

But just now he only wanted to tell Kitagawa Uimuo and the others not to misunderstand, and he actually leaked this 'secret' so easily. This seems to be even more sorry for Kasumigaoka Shiu.

"But she doesn't seem to want others to know that she is writing a light novel, so don't tell anyone."

Jingura Xiu quickly reminded him.

"Understood! We won't tell anyone~!" Sugatani Nou immediately promised obediently.

"But I thought that even if a 'genius literary girl' like Kasumigaoka Shiu-senpai writes novels, she would write novels of the classical literature type. I didn't expect that it would be a light romance novel."

"This...maybe it's a personal hobby." Iura Hide thought for a while and said.

"But why doesn't she let everyone know? If everyone knows, just the boys in our school who admire her can bring in a lot of sales, right?" Originally, I didn't want Iura Hide to talk about other girls' sora, but now Tokiya couldn't help but asked curiously.

"I have asked her about this," Iura Hide explained with a smile: "Her answer is that she just wants readers to pay attention to her work itself and buy it because she likes the work itself, not because of her as the author."

"Is there any difference?" Liuyin asked in confusion.

"Idiot Ryukone! Of course there is a difference!" Kitagawa Ummu said while happily continuing to feed Iura Hide the chocolate ice cream with his own spoon.

"It seems that Kasumigaoka-senpai is indeed as proud as the rumors say." Okora also sighed with a smile, feeling even more relieved.

She originally believed that Iura Hide would never have anything to do with Kasumigaoka Shiu, but now Kasumigaoka Shiu is still as arrogant as the rumors, so it is even more impossible to treat Iura Hide when she knows that Iura Hide already has a girlfriend. Any ideas?
"Ah!"

In a room that was a bit messy due to neglect of cleaning recently, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was practicing in retreat, suddenly felt an itch on the tip of her nose and sneezed.

"Ah? Did you catch a cold?"

"No, no, now is not the time to catch a cold!"

"That guy will definitely go to the publishing house when he submits the manuscript on the weekend. Before that, my new volume of "Metronome of Love" must at least write an outline that is not much inferior to "April"."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu turned around and glanced at the open window for ventilation, then stood up decisively and walked over to close it.

It's just that 29 hours, 27 minutes and 18 seconds have passed since she officially started seclusion. Although she thought of dozens of routines, she rejected them all in the end, and none of them were usable. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but scratch her head frantically. Her appearance was completely no different from that of an ordinary otaku, with no trace of her usual elegance and arrogance.

It's a pity that Ohsora doesn't know the unknown true identities of Kasumigaoka Shiu and Eiri, the two school beauties recognized by the school before Kitagawa Kaimu entered the school. Otherwise, she would definitely raise the threat of Kasumigaoka Shiu to the highest level. .

But maybe Kasumigaoka Shiu is usually too 'mysterious'. The rumors about her in the school seem to be limited to 'the elegant and arrogant genius literary girl' and 'the female academic who always ranks first in grade', so the four people in the sky have no idea about her. Kasumigaoka Shiyu is still very interested.

"Speaking of which, Kasumigaoka-senpai has never had a boyfriend, right?"

"I don't think I've heard of it."

"Eh? If I haven't had a boyfriend, can I still write a romantic light novel?"

"Well, as long as you have enough empathy, even if you haven't been in love yourself, you can still write excellent love light novels based on the stories you've read and your own fantasies."

Iura Hide didn't really want to join their chat about Kasumigaoka Shiu, so he only said a few words when a few people asked him.

Da Kong quickly noticed this and controlled the rhythm, preparing to end the topic.

As for Liu Yin's intention, it's not important.

Even if there is a democratic vote, the final result will be three to one.

Well, she's kind of figured it out now.

"Noha seems to have not given up on Iura-senpai yet. But as long as there are no problems with the relationship between Umi and the senior, she will probably continue to be like this."

Da Kong muttered secretly in his heart.

As someone who has experienced it, she knows that emotional matters often transcend reason and cannot be controlled by reason.

However, as her best friend, she also believed that Nou Sugatani would not take the initiative to do anything to hurt Uimu Kitagawa or their friendship.

So after thinking silently for a moment, she decided to wait and see.

As for Iura Hide, after being distracted and silently thinking for a long time, he decided not to send a message to Kasumigaoka Shiu.

After all, Kasumigaoka Shiu is not an idiot like Mashiro who has no ability to take care of himself. Even if his parents are away at work, he should be able to take care of himself.

If he rashly sends a message to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, he may only cause Kasumigaoka Shiyu to misunderstand and make Kasumigaoka Shiyu hate him even more.

However, there is a saying that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.

Earlier, Iura Hide and Ohsora quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between Eiri and her friend. When they turned to chat, Eiri heard them mention Kasumigaoka Shiu, so she couldn't help but prick up her ears and eavesdrop. .

The result was naturally a shock.

"real or fake!?"

"Kasumigaoka Shiu, that vicious-tongued, arrogant maniac, would actually discuss his tips and experiences in romance light novels with others?"

"And he's a boy?"

"Who the hell is this boy!?"

Maybe it's because Hide Iura himself is sunny and handsome enough, and he doesn't look like the kind of guy who likes to lie.

Or maybe it was because Iura Hide even ranked first in the 'school beauty list', ranking higher than Kasumigaoka Shiha, Kitagawa Umumu, so it seemed like it wouldn't be a big deal to meet Kasumigaoka Shiu again.

Eiri didn't think Iura Hide was bragging or lying, but her curiosity about Iura Hide suddenly increased by N levels.

If she hadn't been worried about Kitagawa Uimuo and the others, she would have taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Iura Hide.

But she was really curious about Iura Hide's identity, and even if she couldn't strike up a conversation, there were other ways to find out Iura Hide's identity!

Seeing that Iura Hide had calmed down and continued to engage in inhumane dog abuse mode with Kitagawa Kaimu, the abuse made her, a 'popular' niche fan manga artist who thought she had a very high endurance, feel a little swollen. She first had a look on her face She pouted in envy and displeasure, then rolled her eyes, picked up the phone, and raised an 'evil' smile on her lips, revealing her iconic tiger fangs.

"Hey! Are you still alive?"

In a messy room, Kasumigaoka Shiu was 'concentrating on her creation'. Although she had already muted her phone when she first started retreating, she still 'accidentally' noticed the screen of her phone that suddenly lit up.

However, after picking up the phone and taking a look at it, she found out that it was a message from that guy Eiri Riri. Kasumigaoka Shiyu immediately snorted coldly and was about to put down the phone, with no intention of replying.

For Yinglili, an idiot with a big food addiction, ignoring her is the best way to deal with it.

After all, there is really not much time left for her!
However, as a 'lifelong enemy', Yinglili had already guessed her reaction before sending her a message.

So she didn't give Kasumigaoka Shiyu a chance to put down her phone, and immediately sent a new message.

"Big news! Absolutely big news!"

"The hot girl who ranks number one on our school's beauty list actually has a boyfriend!"

On the other end of the phone, Kasumigaoka Shiyu subconsciously stopped putting down her phone and looked at the two new messages that popped up on the screen.

"Ah? The hot girl ranked number one on the school beauty list?"

"and many more--"

"Isn't the hot girl ranked number one on the school beauty list that Kitagawa Ummu!?"

After reading the content of the message, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was slightly startled at first, and then his whole body seemed to be electrocuted, directly replicating the famous scene in the anime where his feet hit the table.

"hiss--"

"It hurts..."

The severe pain was transmitted to the brain through the nerves, instantly making Kasumigaoka Shiyu take a sharp breath, and tears of pain were about to fall.

But at this moment, she couldn't care about it at all, her mind was filled with the message just sent by Yinglili.
