This is the second day Ayase returns to Tokiwadai to go to school, Saturday.You only need to finish the morning classes, and then you can go home and enjoy a day and a half weekend vacation.

"Morning, Mikoto." Arriving in the classroom, Ayase greeted casually while sitting down.

"Morning, good morning." Seeing Ayase sit down, Mikoto's face turned red, and then she quickly lowered her head, using the book as a cover to answer Ayase's greeting.

"Huh?" Seeing Mikoto's uncharacteristic appearance, Ayase was a little confused.But before she could think about it, the study committee came over to collect the homework and diverted her attention.

When she handed in her homework and looked at Meiqin again, she saw that the other party's expression was the same as usual, and she was seriously writing something in the notebook with her head down.It was as if the abnormal expression just now was just a hallucination of Ayase.

Curiously glanced at Mikoto's notebook, and found that there was a completely incomprehensible mysterious code on it, Ayase guessed that she was thinking about the galgame program, so she didn't make a sound to disturb, but devoted her energy to the matter at hand superior.After all, it is not an easy task to revise the previous plan.

After seeing Ayase look away from the corner of the eye, Mikoto, who seemed to be serious about writing, suddenly relaxed, and was no longer as straight as when Ayase was staring at her.And the blush that had finally faded from her face seemed to be making a comeback again, climbing all the way from her pink neck to the tips of her ears.

At this time, Mikoto heard Ayase's voice again, and couldn't help but recall what happened after school yesterday...

Despite her inner resentment, Mikoto was not a messy person after all.After venting the depression in her heart when she saw the younger sister chapter of "Super Gun", Mikoto calmed down and waved her hand with a lack of interest, indicating that Ayase should not talk to her.

However, next, Ayase said something that made her blush.

"Actually, I like Mikoto very much—well, of course I'm talking about the Mikoto in the novel."

"Eh? Hi, I like it... oh, oh." Mikoto's original surprise was suppressed by the second half of Ayase's words, and then she hummed inexplicably, and her expression became a little subtle, "Yes ."

Ayase didn't notice Mikoto's unnatural expression, but continued:

"You must think I'm talking nonsense, for example, thinking in your heart——Ayase has set up such a cruel plot, why do you like it?" It is a default of his own words.

But she was not in a hurry, but explained in a slow tone: "But it's true, I didn't lie to you, I really like Mikoto—it should be said, if I didn't like the character of Misaka Mikoto, I wouldn't put it on Mikoto at all. Is this book "brought" into the world? Ayase, who talked to herself like this, didn't care whether Mikoto could understand or not, and said from the bottom of her heart: "It is precisely because I want more people to see her strength, justice, persistence and loveliness, so I put Write this novel.And the plot setting of the younger sister chapter is also..."

Although Ayase was still explaining to Mikoto the connotation of the younger sister chapter, Mikoto, who was buzzing in her ears, could no longer hear what she was saying.It should be said that from the middle of Ayase's speech, Mikoto felt a surge of boiling blood, and her whole body felt dizzy as if she had a fever.

"...Yes, is that so. I understand." After Ayase stopped, Mikoto didn't care what she said afterward.He just responded twice indiscriminately, indicating that he knew.Then, under the gaze of Ayase's puzzled eyes, she walked quickly into the dormitory building.

Ayase, who was left behind, was suddenly a little confused, unable to figure out why Mikoto, who was aggressive just now, left without even listening to the words after she had finally explained the logic.

Shaking her head and feeling the relationship between "a woman's heart and a sea needle", Ayase also walked towards her dormitory building alone.

If Katsuragi Keima had a chance to learn about this, he would probably understand the reason for Mikoto's change in an instant.Even Saori, who seems to have no love experience, probably reacts faster than Ayase.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Don't forget that in Mikoto's mind, Ayase still has unspecified events such as "voyeurism" that cannot be explained clearly-that is, the identity of the voyeur has not been removed.

Under this premise, re-examining Ayase's speech just now, it will appear extremely "bad".Don't forget, Mikoto doesn't know the identity of Ayase's traverser, and it's impossible for her to think of it on a whim.

So when Ayase said that she "liked the character of Misaka Mikoto and brought the novel of "Super Cannon" to this world", it sounded different to Mikoto.

If it is an image metaphor, there is a voyeur who not only peeps by himself, but also because he likes the person he is voyeuring so much, he writes a book to publicize it to everyone, so that others can also know the cuteness of the person he is voyeurizing place.

Spending an entire novel showing your feelings—it’s almost like sexual harassment, but it’s like confessing to the whole world.

So, things are very simple to sum up.Because Misaka Mikoto misunderstood such a layer of meaning in Ayase's explanation because she didn't know the secret, she would naturally feel extremely shy, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as flustered.

In particular, Ayase is not stingy about her praise of "Mikoto in the novel" - don't forget, the character setting of Mikoto in the novel and the one in reality have nearly [-]% to [-]% overlap.So Ayase is clearly praising Mikoto in reality in disguise.

With such a "misunderstanding", Miqin, who was thinking wildly in her mind, had no time to care about other things.So when she arrived at the dormitory, she didn't bother to continue listening to what Ayase said about "the far-reaching meaning of the younger sister chapter", but ran back to her room as if running away.

……

The memory ended here, Mikoto only felt her cheeks start to burn again.She quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, tried her best to calm down and restore her expression to normal, and refocused her energy on the program structure she was planning in front of her.

Ayase, who had no idea what was going on in Mikoto's mind, passed the whole morning without noticing the strange situation at the table beside her.

It was finally after school, and on the way home, Ayase received an email from someone who she couldn't think of anything to do with it.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa's responsible editor - Machida Sonoko.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Machida Garden.

The editor-in-chief of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, the deputy editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko's editorial department, is said to be a professional woman who has been single for 30 years.According to Shiwa, her personality is "extremely bad", but because Ayase has not dealt with her too much, I reserve my opinion for the time being.

And Ayase is extremely skeptical of the authenticity of this evaluation, after all, considering Shiwa's personality, it is difficult to find someone with a worse personality than her.So Ayase once thought that it was just Shiyu's deliberate revenge with resentment after being "disciplined" by herself.

You must know that although Ayase and Ms. Machida have little contact, but in the limited few acquaintances, they still feel that the other party is a calm and reliable professional woman.He is also generous in dealing with people, without any sign of "bad personality".

After recalling the information of Sonoko Machida in her mind, Ayase brought her attention back to reality, and her eyes fell on the mail.

Arriving together with Sonoko Machida's email—or arriving earlier, was the email sent by Editor Tomoken to Ayase.

In Fujian Gangchang's email, he first told Ayase that Sonoko Machida asked him for Ayase's email address, saying that he wanted to ask Ayase about something.

Ayase opened the email of Ms. Machida after closing the email of editor Tomoken.

The content of the email is very concise, just like Machida Sonoko's capable image.After being polite and courteous at the beginning of the email, Ms. Machida quickly got to the point, expressing that she wanted to ask Ayase for help.At the end of the letter, the other party left his contact number.

Have something to ask me for help?After reading the email, a trace of doubt flashed in Ayase's eyes.No matter how hard she tried to recall the few conversations she had with Machida Sonoko, she couldn't find any intersection between the two.

No, what to say... There is indeed a place where the two of them can meet.

——Xiazhiqiu Shiyu.

Thinking of this, Ayase vaguely felt that she was close to the truth.The fact that Sonoko Machida wants to get rid of her should be related to Shiwa, otherwise, no matter how you think about it, Miss Machida has nothing else to ask Ayase for help.

Although it was just an unfounded guess, Ayase decided to call Machida Sonoko first after excluding other possibilities and confirming that the probability of being related to Shiwa was as high as [-]%.

At this time, she has not left the Bunkyo district where Tokiwadai is located, and the distance from Tokyo is only 10 minutes by car.If a face-to-face meeting is required, this place is undoubtedly much closer than Chiba City.

Carefully avoiding the surrounding crowd, Ayase stood by the wall to prevent being hit, and then dialed Ms. Machida's phone number.

After a few brief rings, it was quickly connected.

"Hi, this is Sonoko Machida." The slightly hoarse voice of Yujie came from the phone.

After Ayase introduced herself, the other party immediately raised her tone, "Ah, it's Miyuki-sensei! I'm sorry to trouble you." It could be heard that there was a hint of urgency in Machida-san's tone.

"It's okay. I saw in the email that you said you had something to ask me. I don't know what it is?"

"Actually, it has something to do with Xiaoshi—that is, Teacher Xia Shizi. After thinking about it, I found that the only person I can ask for is Miyuki." Machida Sonoko said rather helplessly. Seto seemed to be able to see her holding her forehead with a headache.

However, since, as Ayase had guessed, it was indeed related to Kasumigaoka Shiwa.She just thought about it for a while and agreed very happily. After all, she and Shiyu are good friends, and Shiyu has helped her many times before—although every time she was with Shiyu, It is also a bad experience to be teased by the other party.

Because Ayase said that it was inconvenient for her to move, the editor Machida said neatly to come to her.Having said that, the two agreed on a place to meet.

The coffee shop near the station was very quiet. After waiting for less than 10 minutes, Ayase hadn't finished playing the mobile game when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Hearing the sound, Ayase raised her head and saw Machida Sonoko walking in in a black suit and skirt, so she waved her arms.

Ms. Machida, who was scanning the room after entering the door, also noticed Ayase, and as she walked towards her, she also noticed that Ayase was dressed differently than usual.

After seeing the splint on Ayase's arm, Machida Sonoko's face flashed with astonishment, and then she looked at Ayase apologetically, "I'm sorry Miyuki-sensei, I didn't know you are now..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't look at me like this, but it's almost fine." Stopping editor Machida from apologizing one after another, Ayase smiled lightly, waved her hand and said, "After all, Shiwa—— um, Kasumi Shiko-sensei You and I are also friends."

After waiting for the waiter to order drinks, Ayase brought up the topic to Ms. Machida.

Seeing that she was talking about serious matters, Machida Sonoko's expression also became serious. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "Just like what I said on the phone before, it's something related to Xiaoshi."

Nodding to Ayase who was listening, Editor Machida continued to frown slightly, and said with a look of puzzlement: "Recently, Xiaoshi's condition has been very bad." Ayase thought she was making a fuss out of a molehill, so she explained Shiwa's situation in more detail.

"I don't know if Xiaoshi has encountered any problems recently, or if she is under too much pressure. Anyway, every time I see her recently, I can see that she looks more haggard than before. And she is in a trance , I often lose my mind and don’t know what to think when I’m talking.” Speaking of this, Ms. Machida showed a distressed look, and said with a helpless smile: “You also know that Xiaoshi’s character is very awkward, I asked her twice , but nothing was gained. And the novel she is serializing, the manuscript of the new volume has already been typed back twice by me."

——Shiyu's new novel is the one she asked Ayase to accompany her to Hehe City to collect materials.At that time, in order to help Shiyu collect materials, Ayase was blackmailed by her and bought a string of bracelets for her from a newly opened shopping mall in Hehe City.

At that time, Shi Yu also jokingly said that the new work is a type of "only girls".

Because it was still a normal working day, Machida Sonoko got up and left soon after telling Ayase the specifics.

After spending some time returning home, Ayase and Haruka Aragaki said hello, then lay lazily on the bed, and picked up the phone casually.

"What's the problem? That woman...would be too stressed?" While talking to herself, Ayase swipe the phone's contact list, and finally settled on Shiwa's name.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

drip-drip-drip-

It's not a student card, nor is it a driver's card.It was just a waiting signal from Ayase after she called Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

In the past, the phone call would be connected within a few seconds. At this time, Ayase had to wait for nearly 30 seconds. It was not until her patience was exhausted, and she was about to hang up automatically, that Shiwa came from the microphone. Slow voice.

"Hey, isn't this Miyuki-sensei? Why did you remember to call me today?" The playful tone was still very familiar to Ayase. At first glance, Shiwa seemed to be the same as usual, not at all what Ms. Machida said Unbearable.

But if you distinguish carefully, you can hear a little tiredness hidden in her tone.It was as if someone who hadn't had a good rest for a few days and had been doing a lot of physical activity was trying to hold on to speak—the voice was erratic like a castle in the air, without confidence at all.

"Can't you call Shiwa-senpai if you have nothing to do?" Ayase didn't rush to get to the point. After all, Ms. Machida had tried to ask Shiwa directly before, but was rejected by the other party.

"If it's nothing, I've never heard that Sensei Shenxue is looking for me~" Shi Yu's tone was still full of teasing, but not as calm as before.On the contrary, there seemed to be some kind of anxiety lurking between the lines of her words, even if it was a normal conversation, she was trying to guide Ayase to finish talking earlier and then hang up the call.

After chatting casually with meaningless words, Ayase finally revealed the purpose of her call—of course, it wasn't the one that Sonoko Machida asked her to do, but another matter.One thing Ayase needs Shiwa's help with.

"Huh? Write a script?"

Shi Yu's voice was a little surprised.Obviously, no matter how much she guessed before, she never expected that Ayase would ask her to write the game script for Galgame.

"Can't you do it yourself? Teacher Shiba Miyuki~" He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation, and Shiyu's tone was inexplicably dissatisfied, and the feeling of being teased inevitably rose in his heart.After all, Ayase herself is also the author, and she even sells better than her own works in terms of sales alone.

"Uh, anyway, there is a very complicated reason. I can't explain it clearly on the phone. If you have time tomorrow, I will go to your house and talk to you." Actually, of course, there is no such thing as being unclear on the phone, but Ayase did not Forget about Machida Sonoko asking her.Naturally, he had to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Shi Yu in person to talk, after all the phone can be easily hung up, and there is no way to observe the other party's expression.But the above-mentioned problems do not exist face-to-face.

"Tomorrow? Yes, then you can come - well, there is a coffee shop nearby with a good environment, let's go there." Halfway through the conversation, Shi Yu suddenly paused, and then he finished speaking.

Then, without waiting for Ayase to reply, Shiyu continued impatiently: "Then tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will be free then. I still have some things to deal with here."

"Eh? Oh...Okay. Then..." Ayase subconsciously agreed, but before she could finish speaking, Shiyu had already disconnected the call, leaving only a beeping busy tone on the phone.

"Strange." Ayase frowned slightly, looking at the phone screen in a daze.The sense of urgency in Shi Yu's words just now is obvious.But what was it that made her so anxious?

There was also hesitation when we agreed on the location before that.Although Shiwa thought that she was covering it up very well, don't forget that Ayase herself was entrusted to call her with a purpose.With deliberate calculation and unintentional calculation, Shiyu's short-term incongruity did not escape Ayase's attention.But after summing it up like this, Ayase became even more puzzled.

"I can be sure, that woman is really in a bad state." Recalling the conversation just now, although Shi Yu still maintained her usual banter.But the initiative of the dialogue has always been in the hands of Ayase, which was completely unimaginable in the past, and it is not at all like the performance of Shiwa, whom Ayase dubs the title of "devil" in his heart.

Thinking that there is no other information to continue to speculate, Ayase could only let out a sigh of relief, and put the matter aside for the time being, "In short, we can only talk about it when we meet tomorrow." Even without Machida Sonoko's help, Ayase originally I also plan to visit Kasumigaoka Shiwa in the short term.

Just like what she said to Shiyu on the phone, she needs Shiyu's help to write Galgame—actually, it is the script of "Mei Tiao".Otherwise, it would be too difficult for her to keep up with the release of the game in Summer Comic just by writing the script by herself—especially two days ago, Ayase was notified by Togashi Gosho that she would have to release the game in the next two months. After handing in three more volumes of novel drafts, she will no longer be able to take care of them all by herself.

After all, Ayase is just an ordinary human being, and manpower is sometimes poor.So even if it's for her own sake... well, including Eiriri, it is necessary for Ayase to meet Shiwa.And if she really encounters difficulties, Ayase will try to help her out.After all, apart from the fact that the two are friends, Ayase doesn't know anyone else who can write scripts except Shiwa.

After sorting out the thoughts in her mind, Ayase nodded in satisfaction, and the rest is to wait until she sees Shiwa tomorrow before making a decision.

……

On the second day, Sunday.The weather was unexpectedly refreshing. Although it was still winter, there was no biting cold sea breeze.Ayase left the house under Haruka Aragaki's "be careful on the road".

Although the splint on his hand was very uncomfortable, it was more convenient than plaster after all. Besides, he had the experience of being injured last time, so Ayase took the Sobu Line and arrived near Shiwa's house without much effort.

As early as more than a month ago, when Ayase was going to Dengeki Bunko, she learned about her move from Shiwa who happened to meet.To sum it up, she got a huge royalties, so she changed to an apartment with a better living environment than before.

According to the address inquired yesterday, Ayase quickly found the agreed place - Angel Cafe, which is the meeting place in a quiet environment that Shiwa mentioned.

"Should she be here?" Seeing that the time on the phone was already 55:[-], Ayase whispered to herself and pushed open the wooden door of the coffee shop.

Accompanied by the sound of "Welcome" from the middle-aged boss with a kind face, Ayase scanned around the cafe—it was indeed very quiet, and it should be said that she didn't see anyone except the boss within her line of sight. .

Then, Ayase found Kasumigaoka Shiwa who was in a daze in the innermost dark corner.

Indeed, as Machida Sonoko said, Shiwa looked very haggard, and the thick dark circles under her eyes could not be covered even with concealer.Ayase walked over there while watching her carefully.only……

When Ayase stood in front of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, when she saw the unexpected clothes on her body, she immediately showed a very strange expression—the kind of expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she tried her best to endure it.

"You... are you really Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"You, are you really Kasumigaoka Shiwa?" Ayase couldn't help but look at the "familiar but unfamiliar" person in front of him, subconsciously asking.

The reason why I use "familiar but unfamiliar" to describe it is because the Shiyu in front of me is completely different from the one in Ayase's impression.

If a few simple words are used to summarize the characteristics of a person, what words should Kasumigaoka Shiwa use to describe it?

If Ayase answered, at least when Shiwa was mentioned in her mind, "pantyhose" first came to mind, followed by "student uniform", "headband and long hair"—that is, simply put, it can be used "Black long straight" to summarize the image.

Of course, if more refinement of character is added, then Ayase would probably use "black belly" or "bad" to describe Shiwa.

but! !

But no matter which of the above adjectives, it has nothing to do with the maid outfit at all, right? !

Ayase looked at Shiwa in the maid outfit, and couldn't help but let out a shocked wail in her heart.Her eyelids twitched at an uncontrollable frequency, she stared at Shi Yu in disbelief, and her eyes fell on the maid outfit she was wearing.

It's hard to imagine that Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who is always in black pantyhose, and Kasumigaoka Shiwa who always wears a student uniform, is now wearing a maid outfit.

And it's not the kind of style worn by real maids, but the kind of fluffy, lace folds, and slim fit that are often seen in Akihabara or otaku gathering places-in short, it is not suitable for maid work at all, just The kind of maid outfits that are just made for good looks are often seen in maid cafes or Cosplay exhibitions.

The maid outfit Shi Yu was wearing was black and white as the main tone, the skirt full of lace only covered half of her thighs, and the bottom was white suspenders and stockings.As for the snow-like white skin between the hem of the skirt and the hem of the socks, it was a mysterious unknown dubbed the "Absolute Domain".
