Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 28

"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

"No, no, no, really, are all men this impatient?" Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly stopped her. "I wanted to ask if you have time to come to my school this afternoon. I need to talk to you about something."

"What's the matter?" Uesugi Kenichi asked curiously.

"Oh, come here for a second, okay? I'll tell you when you get here," Kasumigaoka Utaha said coquettishly.

"I'll go over after school."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was flushed. It seems that I still have some influence in Uesugi-kun's heart.

She was somewhat pleased with Uesugi Kenichi's attitude towards her, and she seemed to realize that she might have fallen for him a little.

Ever since they parted ways, Uesugi Kenichi has been constantly on her mind, and she can't shake him off no matter what she does.

Just thinking about him makes her blush and her heart race, and her heart feels as sweet as if she's eaten honey.

Every day I want to know what he's doing, chat with him, eat with him, and feed him until he's full.

I often worry about how he's doing at school, whether he's eating on time, and whether any vixens are trying to seduce him.

Thinking like this sometimes makes me feel anxious and uncertain, leaving me feeling empty and even a little bitter.

But this situation vanished as soon as Uesugi Kenichi made contact, and it was nowhere to be found.

Although he had written a novel about romance, it was only at this time that he truly experienced what it felt like to like someone.

However, what saddened Kasumigaoka Utaha was that Uesugi Kenichi never took the initiative to contact her.

If it falls into my hands in the future, you'd better wait!

snort!

"Shiyu-senpai, Shiyu-senpai!" Aki Tomoya was so frightened by Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was smiling one moment and frowning the next, radiating a strong sense of low pressure, that he ran three meters away.

"Oh, it's Anki-kun. What can I do for you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression changed abruptly upon noticing someone, before she reverted to her aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

"It's nothing, there's just something I'd like to hear your opinion on." Aki Tomoya only dared to approach a little bit after seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha return to normal.

Well, I'll listen to it for now.

Aki Tomoya organized his thoughts, "Well, you know I'm a pure consumerist otaku, right? I consume various works day after day and am deeply moved by the characters in the world of anime."

"so what."

"I thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision. I don't want to be a pure consumerist anymore. I also want to make a game that can move people and immerse them in the world I create. If I can really do that, I'll be very happy."

Aki Tomoya spoke with excitement in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "It seems you do have this plan. So, do you have any projects planned for you?"

Aki Tomoya stiffened upon hearing this, and said awkwardly, "Well, that's not that important. Don't you think the most important thing is to create a game that everyone will find incredibly exciting?"

"527 I'm sorry, I didn't want to."

"How could this be..." Aki Tomoya looked like he had lost all his dreams. Then he pushed up his glasses and continued, "Senior, I really want to do this. I've made up my mind. I sincerely invite you to join my team."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and said, "I refuse. Aki-kun, don't talk nonsense. You can't do it, and I don't think you can. Isn't it better to just be a consumer pig?"

Aki Tomoya felt as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows in an instant. He struggled to his feet, and his aura suddenly became extremely formidable: "No matter what you think of me, I am determined to do it, and I will never give up no matter what!"

"Heh, whatever you want." Kasumigaoka Utaha tossed her hair and was about to leave. Although Aki Tomo could be considered half a friend of hers, and had helped her share her book sales, his idea was meaningless, and she didn't intend to waste her time helping him.

Instead of wasting time, she might as well tease Uesugi Kenichi more. The thought of Uesugi Kenichi made her face turn red again.

Aki Tomoya sighed as he watched Kasumigaoka Utaha leave without hesitation.

"It seems we can only try to see if Sato can get Uesugi Kenichi over," Aki Tomoya sighed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already reached the entrance to the rooftop, suddenly turned around and came back after hearing Uesugi Kenichi's name.

"What did you say, Uesugi Kenichi?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stared intently at Aki Tomoya with her wine-red eyes, making him feel uneasy.

“Yes, Uesugi Kenichi,” Aki Tomoya said blankly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately became interested and stopped in her hurry to leave, "How do you know him?"

"I don't know him yet, but a friend of mine is quite close to him. He just called me and said that Uesugi Kenichi would like to meet me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs started trembling again. After thinking for a moment, she said to Aki Tomoya, "How about this, if you can get Uesugi Kenichi to come and help you, then I'll agree to join."

Aki Tomoya's face lit up with surprise. He pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said confidently, "Then it's settled. I will definitely recruit Uesugi."

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained noncommittal: "Then we'll wait for your good news."

……

On the other side, after Uesugi Kenichi hung up the phone, Kato Megumi quietly appeared next to him.

"Was the person you just spoke to on the phone a girl?" Kato Megumi's voice was low and unreadable.

Uesugi Kenichi glanced at Kato Megumi and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's a girl."

"Qianyi, are you very familiar with her?"

"Well, we're pretty familiar with each other, and we chat occasionally."

"Is she pretty then?"

"If you're talking about pretty, I'd say she's very pretty," Uesugi Kenichi said confidently, recalling Kasumigaoka Utaha's appearance. If Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't considered pretty, then he really didn't know who would dare to use the word "pretty."

"Oh, I see." Kato Megumi was still smiling, but her gaze seemed to become somewhat dangerous, as if a huge black shadow was looming behind her.

"Gudong."

Uesugi Kenichi swallowed hard and stared blankly at Kato Megumi, who looked like this, when suddenly he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No problem at all, but if there's a chance, could you please introduce me to her? I'd really like to get to know a girl as outstanding as her, Qianyi, you wouldn't disagree, would you?"

"How could I disagree? If I have the chance, I will definitely introduce you two."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Kato Megumi's tone was soft and pleasant to hear, and her eyes were filled with curiosity. What kind of girl could have left an impression on Kenichi?

I'm really looking forward to meeting her!

After school, Kato Megumi watched Uesugi Kenichi's departing figure, wanting to follow him, but she stopped after taking just one step.

Qianyi would definitely not like himself like this, right?

Kato Megumi chuckled, tossed her hair, and turned around. Behind her, a small ponytail swayed gently, looking incredibly cute.

She was confident in herself, or rather, she was very confident in Uesugi Kenichi. She would not be afraid of any opponent, nor would she back down.

Now, secretly coming with me is like I'm afraid of her.

I'm sorry, but the sage is fearless.

Kenichi Uesugi walked quietly on the slightly unfamiliar streets. He had been here for quite some time, but he hadn't really had a chance to properly explore this megacity.

I only went out with Kasumigaoka Utaha when I was in Shibuya last time. It seems that I really need to make time to go out occasionally. After all, a balance between work and rest is the right thing to do.

It must be said that Tokyo, or rather Japan, does have its unique characteristics.

He watched as many girls dressed in exquisite kimonos walked slowly down the street, and the passersby did not seem to notice anything unusual.

This is quite rare in China; only in recent years has a Hanfu trend emerged in the Jiangnan region (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan).

However, very few people are paying attention to it.

The turbulent and magnificent revolutionary era at the beginning of the 20th century brought many new things, but also discarded some things that should have been passed down.

From the perspective of that era, it was absolutely necessary.

After all, it's difficult to change 5000 years of Chinese culture overnight without drastic measures.

But now it seems a bit of a pity.

The Celestial Empire possesses great etiquette, hence the name Xia; it also boasts beautiful clothing, hence the name Hua.

But now, the beauty of simplicity is gone, which is somewhat regrettable. Even at weddings, people mostly wear suits and white dresses.

Nowadays in China, if someone wears Hanfu or other traditional clothing on the street, it will attract attention and curiosity. Why is that?

Because we haven't seen it enough.

He also found the scenery on the streets of RB quite interesting.

Perhaps due to the strong influence of ACG, vehicles decorated with a strong anime/manga style can be seen everywhere on the streets. This phenomenon is not an isolated case; he saw quite a few in the ten minutes he walked. What surprised him most was that even go-karts were being driven on the streets.

The traffic police standing nearby seemed to ignore the scene, suggesting that it was legal to drive on the street.

Kenichi Uesugi watched this scene with a touch of amazement.

After observing for a while, he still felt that his own country was better.

I can acknowledge your strengths, but that doesn't mean I don't have strengths that I'm better than you, and I'll only get better in the future.

Although the places are similar, some things that are ingrained in our bones can never be changed.

He originally planned to go directly to the private Toyo no Ki Academy, but as he walked, he deviated from his course.

In the end, we had to go through several detours before finally finding a place.

He looked at the obviously magnificent college and stepped inside.

The gatekeeper didn't seem to intend to stop them, which was normal, since school had already let out for a while, and many people from the neighborhood would come to watch various club activities on weekdays.

And since Uesugi Kenichi looked like a student, there was even less need to stop him.

He walked into Toyo no Ki, and instead of immediately contacting Kasumigaoka Utaha, he wandered around the school.

Unlike the wealthy and powerful Yamato Private Academy, this school is somewhat shabby in terms of facilities.

It's still quite good, but from what he saw, it seems that there are more girls than boys at this school.

However, it could also be because it was after school.
