After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

The day after the confession, Natsukawa Kanade submitted his resignation from the club and also quit the Line group that everyone used to contact each other. As for more private contact methods... well, they were gone as early as when he changed his heart.

But it doesn’t matter. If online connection fails, then just make an appointment in real life!

It's embarrassing to say that her junior knows her so well, but she doesn't even know which class he is from.

This also resulted in the entire holiday being wasted, and she was completely unable to make an appointment with him - even just one day to spend time with him would have been helpful.

She finally made it to the start of school, and with her social skills... God knows how much effort she put in to find out what class he was in.

But it doesn't matter, this is a setback that must be experienced in order to win! Just like an adventure, if the hero is too easy to kill monsters and level up, he will instead suspect that it is a trap set by the devil, right?

I found the class and asked someone to make an appointment, but what I got was the news that my junior had gone to participate in club activities.

So she followed the footprints again.

Came to a place called "Service Department".

What a strange name, and also a strange feeling... Kasumigaoka felt impatient at the first moment, as if if she opened the door in front of her, she would see a scene that she cared about very much.

But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot, and she is not someone who hesitates.

"Hello, excuse me..."

The moment she opened the door, she saw the boy she had been thinking about day and night.

He still had that nice smile on his face as always, but that smile wasn't meant for her.

"..."

"Hello, what can I do?"

She was a very beautiful girl. Even Kasumigaoka Utaha had to admit that her looks were almost comparable to hers, except that her breasts were very ugly. I'm afraid even Eriri couldn't beat her.

She did not answer the other party, but just stared blankly at her junior, but Natsukawa Kanade did not show any intention of greeting her.

"I, I... I may have come to the wrong place." She pretended to be calm, but the moisture in her eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

She ran away because she realized that she had lost the other person again, as if she had never had him.

I originally wanted to write it in the author's remarks so as not to take up any space, but as I wrote more and more words, I couldn't fit them in anymore, so I just wrote a separate chapter description.

Begin the text below:

How should I put it? I had very complicated emotions when I wrote the last chapter, but not because of the plot, but because of everyone’s comments.

Honestly, I didn't expect people to think this way, but I still want to explain. (I don't mean to attack the other side. I am explaining the plot to the readers very seriously. I respect every reader and their ideas. I also hope that every reader can read the book with their own ideas, instead of being inexplicably influenced by others, because it is difficult to change the initial impression.)

First, the longest one. Some readers think that the Kasumi Hill I wrote is weird and doesn't fit the character setting. But I want to ask, what is the character setting of Kasumi Hill?

A single-minded love-brain? I don't think that's what you said, otherwise the senior wouldn't have chosen to let go and quit after knowing that Aki Tomoya cared about her talent rather than her as a person.

If you are in love, then - "So what if you like my talent? I will make you like me right now! Even if you don't like me, I will never give up!"

Just like Nino Nakano in the Quintuplets, she knew that Fuutarou’s impression of her was not the best and that he would never like her, but she still took the initiative and even lost gracefully in the end.

I think that my senior is a very charming person. She is literary, thoughtful, romantic, and loves change. She likes "romantic love described in a book". That's why she was attracted to "Tomoya Aki, the No. 1 fan" from the beginning. Even if he rejected her, she didn't want to give up, because at that time she didn't understand Tomoya Aki's true thoughts, and she just felt that she must grasp this "fateful encounter".

Do you think such a person will choose to accept the protagonist when he realizes that he is not the real him? Maybe, after all, he is in love (laugh), but for me, I won't do that at all! If someone is not true to me, I will be afraid of her purpose every day after being with me! I can't accept it even if she likes me? (If I can realize it)

And what about the "two women fighting for a husband" you mentioned? From your perspective, isn't this a pure Shura scene? The male protagonist is a big idiot, isn't he? How can you not see it? Then put yourself in this situation. One day, when you were just about to have dinner in class, two girls you had pursued before but rejected suddenly came. They asked you to help them with something. Would you agree or not? Would you think that they regretted it and wanted to pursue you again, or would you think that they just liked you all the time but were embarrassed to agree? I don't think you can think like that, right? I'm afraid that you will be attacked by fairies as a "low-headed man". The most likely thought is that you will become a tool again.

The second one is Kaguya. What did you say about giving her a headband? I can see the changes.

Please, I don't understand what you are talking about. Did I write anything in the whole article related to the plot of the hairband changes?

What I wrote was "Kaguya changes her hairstyle at Hayasaka's suggestion, and then uses it to get the male protagonist to bring up a topic, so that she can then use her charm on the male protagonist and complete the love war (getting the other party to confess)"

You didn't even understand this and you're talking about headbands and whatnot. And I didn't say the hero didn't give Kaguya a gift? Is it possible that I haven't written about it yet?

Another thing is that you said Yukinoshita is a literary youth, and when the Riddler said he would consider it, I admit that there is some truth in what you said, but I didn't write in the whole article that Yukinoshita directly refused, so how did you make up the plot in your imagination?

I haven't even started writing about Yukinoshita yet! She's still living in other people's memories!

As for Eriri and the angel... I'm too lazy to say anything. You didn't mention it anyway. If you think it's possible, then I'll do it according to your idea.

Besides this guy who read the book very carefully, another guy also expressed his own opinion - Kaguya is not such a stupid person, she would not exchange with the male protagonist just because she is curious about the food of ordinary people, the male protagonist's own idea is too stupid.

I won't explain it in detail. I just want to ask the reader to go back and watch the first episode of the anime, which contains the complete interaction between Kaguya and Shirogane regarding bento, as well as Kaguya's own personal psychological activities. I basically drew my inspiration from there.

In fact, it is not just this reader. I myself also want to say that a young lady like Kaguya is outrageous because she is too standard - conservative, gullible, and most importantly - she falls in love with a poor boy of commoner origin.

The reason for this setting is that literary works are aimed at the general public, and everyone likes to read them this way, so the author writes them this way.

I am restoring the personalities of the characters in the original novel very realistically, and I hope you can believe this. But if you really think that I have not restored them correctly, then there is something wrong with me.

To be honest, every time before I write a book, I will carefully read the summarized character settings (which may not be in line with your ideas, but must be the official settings) before I start writing (because I am afraid of making mistakes in character settings), and then think about what kind of plot is logical so that you can enjoy reading it without feeling "ah, this author is a big idiot, he wrote the plot blindly without figuring out the character settings, and then he is so self-righteous."

That is to say, what I wanted to write from the beginning was a lighthearted comedy. Maybe the plot at the beginning is a bit too sad or something, I don’t know if it arouses something that the readers care about. If so, I am very sorry, but the plot requires it, so I have to do it this way.

Also, everyone should have seen that the articles I posted were uploaded at a fixed time, which means that the articles I posted were all my saved articles. And the current time here is... 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, which shows that I really care.

After seeing that reader's comment recently, I have been affected. Yesterday, I even spent a whole day doing nothing but sitting in front of the computer, deleting and revising, changing the outline, changing the plot, and rethinking how I should start writing (I am not posting these to gain sympathy or anything, I am just posting them out of inspiration), which resulted in all my recent saved drafts being used up (because I am busy with my graduation thesis recently, so I really don't have much time. I usually have limited time to write books, and I am the kind of person who writes very slowly and likes to think about the choice of words, which makes it even more difficult)

I don't know about other authors, but I am actually a very emotional person. The key is that I still like to read everyone's posts and book reviews. I can even smile knowingly when I see something interesting, and I will be very happy to see the "come on" messages from readers, so it is not surprising that I will be affected. I have been very conflicted these days, but fortunately I got through it and it did not affect my normal updates.

Finally, I ask all readers to be rational. Not only about this book, but also about everything else, please be cautious when you read and comment before you see the full truth.

Finally, I would like to reiterate that I have no intention of attacking anyone. I am just discussing the facts. If any reader feels offended, please speak up and I will send a separate chapter to apologize to each reader.

Finally, finally, finally! I hope you can forgive me for my long-winded personal thoughts. I was so excited this time that I couldn't control my hand. In the future, I will try to reduce the number of words and try to put it in PS and finish it all at once.

That’s all. Best regards.

018. Kasumigaoka's Thoughts

The past experiences were too heavy for Kasumigaoka, and he would feel depressed every time he recalled them.

"Senior, should I start now?" Kato's tone was neither light nor heavy, like the floating clouds in the afternoon, giving people a hazy feeling.

It was enough to just awaken Kasumigaoka.

"Yeah." Kasumigaoka nodded.

The memories are over. Maybe she was a loser in the past and made the wrong decision, but it is not always like this. In the future, she will never make the same mistake again.

"Natsukawa-kun's habit..." Kato Megumi tilted her head, looking thoughtful.

"As for Natsukawa-kun, he is very casual about what he eats, but he seems to be fond of coffee. When he drinks coffee, he seems to like to hold the cup with his left hand and doesn't like to add sugar..."

"Wait a minute, Kato, what I want to know is not that kind of..." Kasumigaoka interrupted her quickly.

The information Kato provided was indeed very rare, something that even she didn't know, but it didn't quite fit the theme of today's meeting, and most importantly...

Kasumigaoka glanced at Eriri without leaving a trace, and found that she also looked interested, so he became more determined in his idea.

"If possible, I hope you can tell me some of your habits when facing girls... such as subconscious little movements, facial expressions, etc."

Kato Megumi is a very observant person, which is recognized by everyone in the club. Therefore, no matter how familiar she is with the habits of her juniors, Kasumigaoka will not think that she is observing her so carefully because she likes her juniors.

Moreover, even if Kato likes her, it is useless because she has never been pursued by the junior like Eriri and her Kasumigaoka, which means that the junior does not like Kato, and the junior has always been rude to girls he doesn't like.

In other words, Kato is OK.

The only people you need to be wary of are that woman in the "Service Club" and... someone in the future who might be liked by your junior.

But this is easy to solve. She just needs to keep attacking until the junior can only see her.

Maybe she had failed before, but since the younger generation could fall in love with her the first time, there would naturally be a second and a third time, and she would complete the victory the second time and never let go of the younger generation who belonged to her alone.

Therefore, intelligence is very important.

Love is war, and if you want to win, useful intelligence is essential.

However, although her thoughts were beautiful, the reality was not always as she wished.

"Small movements? Facial expressions?" Kato Megumi tilted her head, looking a little puzzled. "I can't tell what that is."

Kasumigaoka frowned, thinking that even Kato couldn't see through the true self hidden behind his junior?

But there could be another reason...

"It's okay Kato, just say something..."

"I say, Kasumigaoka, why are you making things difficult for Xiaohui? She's not a person with super powers, how could she know these things?" Eriri suddenly spoke up to help.

"After all, it's hard to say whether the news you said about Kanade... Natsukawa-san is true..."

Kasumigaoka didn't say anything, but just glanced at Eriri calmly, thinking that she was indeed a golden-haired loser, revealing her true thoughts completely while chatting and laughing.

Didn't you just say that you helped record it because you saw how hard she was working? Now it turns out that you helped because you were interested in the news, huh, you idiot.

"In that case, let me start first and demonstrate."

"From what I know, when he's pursuing a girl, he's totally indifferent to anyone else he doesn't like."

"It's not the kind of rejection that's out of fear of being misunderstood by the person you like, but pure indifference, like saying 'I know what you're thinking, but what does it have to do with me? Please don't come and disturb my life.'"

She had a very deep experience of the indifference and ruthlessness there.

"At first I thought that Junior was worried about being misunderstood or something, but later I found out that no matter whether the girl he likes is present or not, his attitude will not change."

"To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable at the time. I even doubted whether the feelings that Junior had for me were fake. Otherwise, how could he be so heartless?"

"Until later, by chance, I met a junior who had just broken up with his lover. I couldn't bear it and went up to comfort him, but I found that he had recovered."

"Rational, courageous, gentle, humorous, and most importantly, not ruthless to me. The junior I'm familiar with is back."

"At that time, I thought, maybe this was the 'regret pill' God gave me, so I took it as a matter of course."

"However, the good times didn't last long. One day, the junior was once again attracted by a vixen..."

"You all know what happened next. I hit a wall again, but I naturally didn't bother myself again after that."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke word by word, sometimes in a low voice, sometimes with ups and downs, full of emotion, but her expression was flat, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"That's the information I know."

"I like my junior, the kind of love that can only be with him." Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression was indifferent, but her words were shocking.

"Sawamura Spencer Eriri, I know you also like Junior-kun. If possible, I am willing to compete with you fairly, but the premise is that you will no longer hinder my relationship."

Kasumigaoka had failed once... no, it should be said that she had failed many times, but only the first time was due to her own reasons. She would cherish the opportunities she would get in the future, so she had to be honest with herself.

Eriri is an insider, and Kato should have noticed it as well, so it doesn't matter if the two of them know about it. Her feelings have been exposed anyway, so she might as well use her honest thoughts to get them to relax their vigilance.

"..." Ying Lili was almost stunned where she stood.

Kasumigaoka's words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, shocking her young heart.

Who is she? Why is she here today? What is she going to do later?

Just like the three thought-provoking philosophical questions, Eriri felt that she was now in the satisfying sage time after finishing a book, with no other thoughts in her mind except thinking about life.

Does she like Natsukawa Kanade?

It should be.

Perhaps she was unwilling to face her own heart at the beginning because she was still obsessed with her "childhood sweetheart", but now when facing her rival Kasumigaoka who revealed her feelings to her, she can no longer say anything against her will.

"Hmph, I want to say the same thing to you!"

"Oh? Not bad, Eriri. It turns out you have a frank side."

"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me? I'll bite you, believe it or not!"

"Oh, in the end, you're still just a bunch of trash..."

"Ugh! Damn fat woman in black stockings!"

"Tsk, golden-haired loser."

"Cow monster!"
