Facing Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Lin Mu smiled and looked at her steadily with somewhat fervent eyes.
"What do you think, Utaha Kasumigaoka? How do you think the male protagonist in my book will choose? Will he waver back and forth, hurting both girls at the same time?"
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and glared at him in annoyance.
"I'm asking you right now, so what do you mean by asking me back? I'm asking you because I don't know, okay?"
"Haha, sorry, I was just curious about your thoughts, Utaha Kasumigaoka. If you want the answer so badly, my reply is... no."
Lin Mu showed a firm expression, "The male protagonist in my book will not hurt any girl. It will be a happy ending for everyone."
"Huh? Are you sure you want to do that?" Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed a little flustered. "Junior Lin, I didn't come here to influence your writing. If you write like that, many readers won't buy it."
"In reality, you can't have the male protagonist marry two people at once, and choosing one means giving up the other, so it's never perfect."
"While some readers will definitely send you razor blades for their favorite female lead, a story needs to be imperfect to truly be memorable."
Hearing this, Lin Mu's smile became even more radiant.
"Utaha Kasumigaoka, your 'love metronome' volume two was written like that, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
"However, you seem to have grasped the essence! To be able to say that 'imperfection makes a story memorable,' indeed, let's wield our pens together and conquer the battlefield, making the world feel pain!"
"Let the readers' razor blades come even more fiercely!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but laugh at his chuunibyou words, then gave him another charming sidelong glance.
"What do you mean, 'make the world feel pain'? This is a cult, a cult of the light novel world! Do you really enjoy writing such heart-wrenching plots?"
Lin Mu spread his hands helplessly, "Didn't Utaha Kasumigaoka say so? She told me to maintain that imperfect style. If I write a story that makes readers feel pain, then a part of the credit goes to her."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was so angry that her full chest heaved violently, making one worry that the buttons of her school uniform might pop off.
"Do you just write whatever I tell you to? Are you Twilight Sky, or am I?"
"Of course! Your opinion, Utaha Kasumigaoka, is very important to me!"
Lin Mu said earnestly, directly hitting a sensitive spot in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart.
The male protagonist she yearned for was precisely someone who would believe her, trust her, and dote on her.
Taking a deep breath, Kasumigaoka Utaha, with a flushed face, patted her chest to calm her restless heart.
"Mu-kun, you are very good with words."
"However, while I'm very happy you said that, I still hope you'll stick to your own ideas. After all… I also want to see Teacher Twilight Sky dominate the industry and make the world feel pain."
"No problem, I'll seriously consider it." Lin Mu readily agreed.
Then he began to talk endlessly about the subsequent plot of his novel.
"Utaha Kasumigaoka, I plan to let the plot advance further, and in the third volume, have the male lead become Hoshino Nagi's biological brother, creating a plot where they were switched at birth. It turns out the male lead is the heir to the Hoshino family, and as his sister, Hoshino Nagi can naturally only be out of the picture."
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him with a strange expression, "You're definitely getting razor blades, and the first one will definitely be from me!"
Although she was happy that he firmly chose Tsukimi Miyabi, he shouldn't bully Hoshino Nagi like that!
From the man she loved to her biological brother, that's a sudden, unexpected twist.
"Hehe, I'll gladly accept your razor blades, Utaha Kasumigaoka."
"But don't interrupt, I'm not finished yet."
"After collecting a wave of razor blades in the third volume, making readers believe Tsukimi Miyabi is the stable girlfriend, the fourth volume will have another twist: it turns out Tsukimi Miyabi is the illegitimate daughter of the Hoshino family head, and she is also the male lead's sister."
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but extend her jade-like foot, wrapped in black stockings, to step on his instep.
"Aha, so this is what you were waiting for! Junior Lin, is this what you call a perfect happy ending?"
"Uh… isn't it good? The male lead and both female leads become family, isn't that happy?"
"Happy my foot! How could that be happy? It would only be more painful! How would you expect the three of them to face each other afterward?"
"And this would cause social pressure, wouldn't it? After all, as family, they dated each other. This is simply perverted behavior!"
While complaining, Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped on his instep with her small, exquisite, delicate jade-like foot in black stockings, seemingly expressing her displeasure.
Lin Mu quickly waved his hand, "I'm not finished yet, there's still the fifth volume."
"Another twist: it turns out the Hoshino family head's wife had an affair, and the male lead is not a child of the Hoshino family, but rather the heir to a certain country."
"Well, the king of that country can marry multiple wives, so he can marry both of them. No problem with that, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but grab his head and vigorously ruffle his hair with her small hands.
"What do you mean, 'no problem'? There are huge problems! Where did you get such bizarre ideas? And this kind of twist is just speechless!"
... .... ...
Although it's reasonable, it's too much for the readers' hearts!
He won't have to worry about selling razor blades anymore.
Just thinking about it, before his perfect grand finale arrives, all three will be tormented, enduring the pain of suppressed feelings for each other.
After all, if his fifth volume isn't released, the three of them are siblings, and no matter how much they like each other, they can't do anything out of line.
Lin Mu felt his cheek buried in a soft place, and an alluring fragrance made his breathing quicken.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, are they this intimate?
Kasumigaoka Utaha ruffled his hair for a while before shyly letting go of him, somewhat unnaturally straightening her school uniform.
"Um… I'm sorry, Junior Lin, you suddenly gave me so much inspiration, showing me perspectives I hadn't seen before. I was a bit overwhelmed for a moment, um… mmm!"
Lin Mu boldly hugged her, took a deep breath, and then let go of her.
"I was also overwhelmed, Utaha Kasumigaoka, we're even now."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks instantly turned crimson.
She never expected him to be so bold.
Directly hugging her, this must be an expression of his liking for her!
"Mm, let's just say we're even." She turned her face away, a little embarrassed, but her heart was pounding like a startled deer.
It was her first time having such intimate contact with a boy, and she had even been the one to actively hug him and ruffle his hair first.
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a strange sensation in her heart.
