"Hasegawa-sensei."
"Well? What's up? Kasumi-sensei?" Hasegawa looked back at Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Actually, it's also because of the source material. So can I go with Hasegawa-sensei when he goes to collect sources?"
"You want to go with me to collect sources?" Hasegawa frowned.
"Well." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't seem to see Hasegawa's expression at all: "Actually, I also agreed with Editor Machida at the beginning. Didn't I, Editor Machida?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said, smiling at Machida Sonoko.
"Um, ahem, yes, I did. So, can I ask Hasegawa-sensei for help?" Machida Sonoko didn't expect Kasumigaoka Utaha to bring the conversation up again. However, although the performance of Kasumigaoka Utaha's novels is not as good as Hasegawa's. But because they are both women, and Machida Sonoko gave more advice and help to Kasumigaoka Utaha when she was writing the novel, they communicated more and were more familiar with each other than Hasegawa. So at this time, Machida Sonoko chose to help Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Of course, Machida Sonoko also knew that although Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little bit strange in character, she would not do anything bad, nor would she affect Hasegawa's collection and creation. Although she didn't quite understand Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude, it should be no problem for Kasumigaoka Utaha to go with Hasegawa to collect materials.
"But I remember that Love Metronome seems to be a youth campus novel. Even if you want to collect materials, you shouldn't go to these families to collect materials." Hasegawa frowned and raised the information in his hand.
"Well, although I am writing about youth campus, love is universal. Even campus love will eventually become ordinary and they will get married and have children. So I want to see what it will be like after they get married and have children. This will be more conducive to my creation." Kasumigaoka Utaha said nonsense seriously.
Although Hasegawa also understood that this was almost Kasumigaoka Utaha's nonsense, it was barely a reason. He couldn't refuse, after all, these materials were arranged by Machida Sonoko.
However, Hasegawa still didn't understand what this teacher Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to do.
Seeing Hasegawa nod, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a smug smile on her face: "Then next, I'll trouble Hasegawa teacher to give me more advice."
"Teach each other, just teach each other." Hasegawa said politely and unfamiliarly.
"So, when does Hasegawa-sensei plan to go to collect materials?" Looking at Hasegawa like this, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt in a very good mood and asked with a smile.
"I have something to do in the next two days, so I have to wait a little. But if Kasumigaoka Utaha can't wait, you can go to collect materials first." Hasegawa still kept that distance and said.
"No, no, no, I'm not too anxious about collecting materials. And it's not good for us to trouble others one after another, so it's better to go together when the time comes." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.
"Yeah." Hasegawa could only nod.
"By the way, Hasegawa-sensei, my name is Kasumigaoka Utaha. Hasegawa-sensei can call me Kasumigaoka from now on, of course, you can call me Utaha." Kasumigaoka Utaha introduced to Hasegawa with a smile.
"Hmm." Hasegawa frowned slightly: "Teacher Kasumi Shiko, our relationship is not that close after all, so forget about that address. I'll still teach you Teacher Kasumi Shiko." Hasegawa can be said to have clearly expressed his attitude.
"Hasegawa is really a bit rigid." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.
"Huh?" Hasegawa couldn't help but frown and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"We are from the same school. I am also a student of Sobu High School, a student of Class C in the second year. Hasegawa, you have to call me senior." Kasumigaoka Utaha explained with a smile.
Hasegawa was a little surprised to hear this, and a little bit surprised. It doesn't matter that Kasumigaoka Utaha acted a little familiar at the beginning. It turns out that there is such a relationship. Hasegawa understood a little, and his mood towards Kasumigaoka Utaha also changed a little, at least on the surface he didn't seem so cold.
After all, so many coincidences together always make people feel cordial.
"So that's how it is. I'm so sorry, Senior Kasumi Aki. I didn't know we had this kind of relationship. I was really rude before." Hasegawa apologized immediately.
"Well, well, it's okay. After all, even I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence at first. The two of us would be students of the same school. Not only the same school, but also under the same editor when writing light novels. This coincidence is really too coincidental. If we hadn't really met, I would have thought it was a plot in the novel." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.
"It's really a coincidence." Hasegawa smiled.
Things are often like this. Just a small change in identity can change the relationship between two people.
Just like in reality, suddenly someone acts very familiar with you, and even a little bit bossy. For such a person, the first feeling of a normal person is disgust in his heart. However, if this person is your relative, or even a child from a neighbor with whom you have a good relationship, then the degree of disgust may not be so high.
Even in the workplace, when you enter a company and find that your boss is a senior or senior who graduated from the same school, the relationship between the two people will be much closer.
This is how Hasegawa felt at this time.
"So, junior Hasegawa, if you go to collect materials, don't forget to notify me." Kasumigaoka Utaha said to Hasegawa with a smile.
"Okay, senior Kasumigaoka, I will." Hasegawa nodded and said politely with a certain distance, but there was no real closeness.
After saying goodbye to Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hasegawa went home directly. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko continued to sit in the cafe, watching Hasegawa's back as he left.
"Utaha, Hasegawa teacher seems to have never heard of your name." Machida Sonoko smiled and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a slightly strange look.
"Maybe, he is just a nerd. That's why he hasn't even heard of my name." Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted. As the top student in the second grade, she is so beautiful. It can be said that she, Busujima Saeko, Sawamura Spencer Eriri, and Yukinoshita Yukino are all famous beauties. They are very famous in the school.
But Hasegawa did not react at all after hearing her name. Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that there was no other way to explain why Hasegawa had never heard of her name except as a nerd.
"Nerd? But not at all. Although I don't communicate much with Mr. Hasegawa, in fact, Mr. Hasegawa gives me the impression of being a very reliable and smart person. It's just that I don't seem to have heard of your name, Utaha, which is really a bit like a nerd."
Kasumigaoka Utaha had a slightly strange expression, looking at the direction where Hasegawa disappeared and thinking.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was really curious about Hasegawa. What kind of person is Hasegawa? I had many impressions of Hasegawa before, but now, those impressions have been broken one by one. Hasegawa is a person who seems to have a big mystery.
"It really makes people want to understand. Junior Hasegawa." Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but mutter.
"Curious? Be careful not to fall in love. Generally, when a girl is curious about a boy, it is a sign of falling in love." Machida Sonoko laughed and joked when she heard Kasumigaoka Utaha's words.
"Hehe." Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered, and then looked at Machida Sonoko with a contemptuous look: "Machida Editor, you seem to have never been in love, right? Things like talking about war on paper are just for fun, don't really believe it."
Swish!
Machida Sonoko's face changed all of a sudden. Kasumigaoka Utaha's words directly caused her weakness damage plus critical damage plus fatal damage. Machida Sonoko felt that her health bar was emptied all of a sudden.
...
Hasegawa returned home, took off his shoes and put on slippers: "I'm back!"
"Hasegawa, welcome back." Mrs. Yuigahama's voice came in time.
"Mrs. Yuigahama, you, didn't go to work?" Hasegawa looked at Mrs. Yuigahama with a little surprise.
"Well, because Yui will soon join the entertainment club, I specially asked for a few more days off. Is Hasegawa going out smoothly?" Mrs. Yuigahama came over while talking, and smiled happily after seeing Hasegawa.
"Is that so. Mrs. Yuigahama, don't worry. Although Yuigahama has to join the entertainment club, her singing skills are already very good. So everything should go smoothly." Hasegawa comforted Mrs. Yuigahama.
"Well, I believe Hasegawa-kun. After all, Hasegawa-kun is a genius, very reliable, and makes people feel at ease."
"Thank you." Hasegawa felt happy when he heard this: "By the way, it's noon now, I'll go cook."
"Leave the cooking to me, after all, I've asked for leave. How can I trouble Hasegawa-kun?"
"It's not a big deal. And I like cooking." Hasegawa said with a smile.
"Well, how about this, how about we cook together?" Mrs. Yuigahama thought about it and said to Hasegawa.
"Together? Okay. Let's do it together." Hasegawa nodded with a smile.
The two of them talked and laughed, and walked into the kitchen together. Although the kitchen space was not small, it was not big for two people in the kitchen. While cooking, they would touch each other from time to time. Every time the two of them touched each other a little, they couldn't help but smile at each other. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, and even Hasegawa felt a sense of warmth.
