Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Even the strongest body needs a brain to function, and planning is the brain.

Everything—the operation of personnel, the flow of funds, the control of direction, and urging all parties to complete tasks on schedule.

Just like the director's position in a movie, no, even more important than the director's position.

In her view, Shang Qianyi was someone who could pull everyone onto a ship and then sail freely in his direction.

The ship may encounter storms and run aground, but at least it has made a spectacular journey on the high seas, rather than falling apart while still in port.

Even if she had to abandon all of that, she was willing to participate, just so she could have more contact with Uesugi Kenichi.

She admitted that she might actually have feelings for Uesugi Kenichi, which was normal. She was a girl, and it was perfectly normal for her to be attracted to outstanding boys, not to mention that Uesugi Kenichi perfectly matched her ideal of her other half.

She was not a coward. If she liked something, she would be brave. Even though she had no experience, she knew that if she didn't take action, it would be a regret for the rest of her life.

Thinking this, even though she was sitting with a book in her hand, she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word, and her legs started shaking involuntarily again.

Speaking of which, hasn't Uesugi arrived yet? He's taking so long.

She was eager to see him; it had been more than half a month since they last met.

Kasumigaoka Utaha checked the time and realized that an hour had passed. Considering the distance between Toyonoki Academy and Michida Academy, it should take half an hour to get there.

She had walked this road silently several times, so the timing should be correct.

Could it be because we took the wrong turn?

Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and called Uesugi Kenichi.

"Beep beep beep." The phone rang for a long time before hanging up with a long tone.

No one answered?

Could it be that they were just trying to fool me? Did they stand me up again?

As Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of this, a cold glint appeared in her wine-red eyes, and her legs, clad in delicate black stockings, trembled even faster.

She slammed the book shut, stood up, and was determined to see him today no matter what!

You won't be so easy to stand me up, Kasumigaoka Utaha!

She walked straight out, but a conversation reached her ears as she was walking and made her stop in her tracks.

"You know what? I just saw a super handsome guy on the street. He was so incredibly handsome that my heart started pounding the moment he looked at me. I couldn't stop for a second."

"Lan-chan, you're lying, right? Do you think I wouldn't know there are such handsome guys at our school?"

"Exactly, stop lying to people."

“Really, his school uniform doesn’t look like it’s from our school, but I didn’t dare to go up and take a look. He should still be at our school now, let’s go look for him.”

"Hey, Kasumigaoka-senpai?" The three girls bowed and greeted Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had appeared in front of them at some point.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, not in the mood for any more pleasantries. "I just heard you guys say you met a really handsome guy?"

The three girls exchanged glances for a moment, then the girl named Lan stepped forward. "Yes, I did see it just now. What's wrong?"

Did you see him walk towards 540?

After hesitating for a moment, Lan, still intimidated by Kasumigaoka Utaha's imposing presence, stammered, "It seems they went towards the teaching building."

"I understand, thank you very much." Kasumigaoka Utaha said and quickly left.

I asked two more people along the way, and finally stood in front of the art department's studio.

If she remembered correctly, this studio should be the private studio of Eriri Sawamura Spencer.

Although she had never met this beautiful girl who was her equal at school, she had heard of her, and in her opinion, the girl was indeed worthy of her reputation.

However, she hadn't really interacted with her, since they weren't in the same grade.

But what is Uesugi Kenichi doing here?

With this question in mind, he twisted the door of the art studio open with force, and what he saw completely stunned him.

She felt she must not have woken up properly, otherwise how could she have seen such a scene?!

Kasumigaoka Utaha stiffened for a moment before breaking into an extremely happy smile, so happy that anyone who saw her would know she was in an exceptionally good mood.

She walked in with a bright smile, her little leather shoes clicking and clattering on the floor, each step sounding like a death knell.

"So, can you tell me what you two are doing with the door so tightly closed in broad daylight, Qian~Jun?"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: I, Eriri, have never been inferior to anyone in my life! (Please subscribe, ninth update!)

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked up to the two of them step by step and spoke in a very calm tone. However, although she was asking Uesugi Kenichi, her eyes were fixed on Eriri.

Uesugi Kenichi quickly pulled his clothes tighter. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed happy with a smile, he didn't think so. Behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, he saw a gloom that could shroud the entire school!

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha like this, he felt a sudden tension for no reason, as if he were a husband caught by his wife while he was away. He didn't know why he felt this way, but this was his deepest feeling right now.

"Would you believe me if I said it was all a misunderstanding?" Uesugi Kenichi asked somewhat guiltily.

"Oh dear, it seems someone isn't going to tell the truth. Well then, our lovely philandering cat, could you please tell us what you were doing just now?" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and glanced sideways at Eriri, her legs shaking wildly.

Eriri watched as Kasumigaoka Utaha trembled with fear, almost crying, looking like a complete loser. Eriri felt that Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of her was incredibly terrifying, as if she was about to open her mouth and devour her at any moment.

"I was just... I was just..." Her eyes darted around, her voice trembling, completely at a loss for words. Waaah... Someone please save me, save the child!

She has no idea what she just did, why she did such a thing, or why someone saw her doing it!

Is today truly the end of the world for me, Eriri Sawamura Spencer?!

Or maybe I forgot to check the almanac before I went out today, otherwise why would I be so unlucky!

She screamed inwardly. Although she was unlucky sometimes, she had never been as unlucky as she was today. It was as if bad luck had opened the door for bad luck. She was unlucky to the extreme!

Eriri took a deep breath and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was staring at her as if she were a cat that had stolen fish. The resentment that had always been there for her surged up again.

I, Eriri Sawamura Spencer, have never been inferior to anyone in my life, so why should I be afraid of you!

"What I was doing just now is none of your business." Eriri glared back, but her voice lacked conviction.

"Oh ho ho, it seems our little kitty is quite bold." Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a meaningful smile and used her index finger to lift Eriri's chin. "She really is a beauty. No wonder someone would be interested."

"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you." Eriri's hard-won courage vanished instantly, and she was completely defeated.

After watching for a while, Uesugi Kenichi finally found a chance to interject, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Can't we sit down and talk things out?"

Tap tap! Step on the foot twice!

"It's all because of you! You even have the leisure to make sarcastic remarks here!" Eriri said irritably.

"This is ridiculous! Is that the excuse you used to stand someone up and then go and have sex with another girl? Ken! Ichi!!" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her gun around and spoke in a low voice, her wine-red eyes staring hatefully at Uesugi Kenichi, as she stepped on his foot and twisted it a few times.

Was it all my fault? Uesugi Kenichi felt his head buzzing, as if something had been very wrong from the very beginning.

Finally, the three of them sat down in a rare moment of 'calmness'.

"Hmm, hmm, I see. So all of this was really a misunderstanding, right? Even that shameless little kitten sticking out its tongue to lick your shoulder was part of it, right? I understand." Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to still be sarcastic, but in her heart she already believed it, at least she believed Uesugi Kenichi.

However, she didn't want to let Uesugi Kenichi off so easily. She had finally caught him red-handed, and she didn't know when she would have another chance like this.

After hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's words, Eriri leaned to the side and slowly moved closer to Kasumigaoka Utaha's face with a fierce look in her eyes.

"I couldn't possibly ignore those words. What right do you have to talk about me like that? Aren't you just as shameless and horny as you, clinging to other people?"

"Yeah, after all, I'm not like some blond loser who still has the body of an elementary school student even in high school. Oh, sorry, I might be a bit disrespectful to elementary school students, since you might not even be as good as some elementary school students." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and kicked Eriri.

"What my figure is like has nothing to do with you!" Eriri said, kicking back.

“I understand. You’re really pitiful. Maybe this isn’t the first time you’ve been treated like a child.” Kasumigaoka Utaha continued to kick back.

The two of them looked at each other and then kicked each other, and in the end, it was Uesugi Kenichi who suffered the most!

As Uesugi Kenichi listened to their constant arguing and looked at the shoe prints all over his pants, with symbols of anger accumulating on his forehead, he finally reached out and lifted the two of them into the air, one in each hand.

Even in the air, the two glared at each other before tossing their hair away and refusing to look at each other.

clap clap!

Two strands of hair, one black and one gold, flew across Uesugi Kenichi's face!

clap clap clap!

Uesugi Kenichi put the two down and couldn't help but slap his forehead a few times. "I'm so stupid. Why did I come here? Why did I stop these two from arguing? I should have let them fight."

Every one we kill is one less to lose.

Only the one who survives has the right to continue talking!

Seeing that Uesugi Kenichi seemed to be genuinely angry, the two calmed down.

"...I never expected you to be the famous Kasumigaoka Utaha?" Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with disbelief.

She really couldn't believe that Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was her equal at school, had such a hidden identity. You know, she really liked the book "Love Metronome" and was even thinking of asking the author for an autograph.

She would never want it now, even if you killed her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also glanced at Eriri in surprise, "I never expected you to be the famous 18+ doujinshi artist Kashiwagi Eri. No wonder you're so furious."

"Who are you calling furious!"

"Whoever answers, that's who they're talking about, right?"

"you!"

"You two have such a good relationship."

"Who's actually in a relationship with this woman? x2!"

"Hmph! X2"

"Alright, alright, they're both amazing." Uesugi Kenichi stopped the two of them from arguing in time. He looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and then at Eriri, and felt that the two of them were just natural enemies.

If one of them were to switch genders, and they weren't together, he'd eat the canvas!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Who Am I? (Please subscribe, tenth update!)

"Let's get down to business," Uesugi Kenji said, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "So, what did you call me here for today?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback by Uesugi Kenichi's question, then gave Eriri a charming smile and a playful look. "It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you want to come to my house tonight?"

Eriri blushed instantly upon hearing this, and then began to imagine the whole thing. Pointing at the two of them, she stammered, "You, you two are actually in this kind of relationship? It's simply, simply too shameless."

As she spoke, she felt a surge of sourness in her heart, as if she had eaten countless lemons and turned into lemon juice, making her feel incredibly sour.

"Well, speaking of shame, I can shut up about that sly little kitten. Not only is she an 18+ doujinshi artist, but what did I just see when I walked in?"
