Anime: I Want Harem-Chapter 59: True Intentions
Chapter 59 - 59: True Intentions
Kitahara Kosuke's conditions could be considered both lenient and excessive.
For Utaha, the strictest condition was actually the request for her to withdraw from the club. The three-year non-collaboration period, on the other hand, was not that important.
The senior was still unaware of the less-than-friendly situation Aki Tomoya was currently facing.
She just felt that he had finally ignited his creative desires, and if she didn't support him, she might miss out on some opportunities.
As for the three-year limit, even if Aki Tomoya went to university normally after three years, he would only be a freshman, and there would still be plenty of time to do whatever he wanted then.
"No problem, I agree to your conditions."
After a brief thought, Utaha Kasumigaoka agreed to Kosuke's conditions.
She didn't think she would lose to a newcomer who hadn't even officially entered the industry yet.
The other party hadn't even decided if they could be officially published yet.
"Shiyu-chan, is it okay to use TAKI as a condition?"
Sonoko Machida was a bit worried for her.
She knew very well what that person meant to Utako Kasumigaoka.
"It's okay, this matter is originally very much related to Tomoya-kun, and I also..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
Those words Kitahara Kosuke had said in the coffee shop that day had indeed had some impact on the woman Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Making her unable to help but doubt herself.
She shook her head lightly, temporarily not considering these extra things.
"Anyway, next is the time for the agreement..."
Speaking to this point, Utaha hesitated a bit.
She didn't want to take advantage of the other party.
Seeing the woman's thoughts, Kitahara Kosuke took the initiative to speak.
"There's no need to rush with the time. I'll give the first three Chapters and the outline to Miss Machida first for her to look over. Senpai, you can also take a look. It won't be too late to talk about those things later."
It was just the beginning, after all. He didn't care at all if someone stole his ideas or anything like that.
"That's not fair to you."
Utaha Kasumigaoka decisively rejected Kosuke's suggestion.
"It's okay."
"And my friend's side also needs some preparation, so just consider Senpai giving us a bit of a head start... is that alright?"
Kitahara Kosuke smiled and asked in a relaxed tone.
He didn't actually take this so-called agreement to heart.
If Yoshida Saki could become self-reliant and grow, even if she eventually lost with his help, and even had to apologize to the annoying Aki Tomoya.
Kosuke would still feel very happy.
He wasn't actually a very proud person.
However, since an agreement had been made, he would work hard to fulfill it.
Just consider it a little motivation for himself and Yoshida Saki.
Compared to the conflicted girl opposite him, this was Kosuke's true thought at this moment.
"..."
After a short silence, Utaha Kasumigaoka finally chose to agree to his request.
"Alright."
So next, Kosuke and Miss Machida exchanged contact information, and this time he truly left with Miss Kotonoha.
From Kitahara Kosuke's departing figure, Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't sense the slightest pressure on him.
This caused a hint of unease to arise in her originally confident heart.
Sonoko Machida, whose attitude towards Kitahara Kosuke had suddenly changed for some reason, was still watching the two of them leave with a smile.
"Stop looking, let's go back too."
Utaha Kasumigaoka said in a bad tone.
Without waiting any longer, she walked ahead alone.
For professionals like them, it was still too early to rest.
"Shiyu-chan, don't be so angry, smile a little."
Sonoko Machida trotted a few steps on her high heels and caught up.
"I'm not angry."
Utaha Kasumigaoka said this without turning her head
.
"Really?"
"Really. Right now, I just want that junior to face reality. And I've already decided on my new work, Miss Machida."
The girl was telling the truth.
However, although she was no longer conflicted about this matter, she felt a bit down because she had thought of her Ethical Boy.
Forcing herself to cheer up, she prepared to immerse herself fully in her new work again.
Because Aki Tomoya was her number one fan
.
"Full of fighting spirit, Teacher Utako Kasumigaoka."
Sonoko Machida roughly understood the girl's thoughts and was very happy in her heart.
For a responsible editor like her, there was nothing more gratifying than seeing her author's fighting spirit ignited like this.
"However, there are also things that even Teacher Utako Kasumigaoka can't see through sometimes."
The two walked together, Sonoko Machida with a smile on her face, couldn't help but suddenly say.
He had thought of that young man again just now.
"What are you trying to say?"
The brown round-toed leather shoes outside the black stockings stopped, and Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at her editor, feeling that this person had become very strange since just now.
"Hehe... some things are boring once you say them."
Sonoko Machida deliberately played coy like this.
She recognized Kitahara Kosuke and Kotonoha Katsura.
Although she didn't know those people before today, she had recently seen a trending search on a certain website about the group of people who committed a crime on the train being arrested.
That time, it had really helped these vulnerable women vent some anger.
Sonoko Machida had also taken that line and had forwarded the news without hesitation.
And the people involved in that incident...
A strong and courageous young man, a high school girl with an incredibly enviable aura, and that small white cat that looked considerably fatter...
This combination was just too memorable.
Although he was a bit greedy in some aspects, a child who would take the initiative to help others on the train couldn't possibly be a bad person, no matter how she thought about it.
This was what Sonoko Machida believed in her heart.
Moreover, through her indirect probing just now, she had also confirmed one thing.
Kitahara Kosuke undoubtedly cared a lot about Utaha Kasumigaoka, and there was a high possibility that he had read Utako Kasumigaoka's novels, was her fan, and had been paying attention to her all along.
"It's just like in an otome-oriented galgame, a rough-looking, inarticulate character who's considered a delinquent..."
"But is actually a kind-hearted male character who can be romanced."
In fact, Kitahara Kosuke had read Utaha Kasumigaoka's novels and also cared a lot about this two-dimensional character he liked in his previous life.
But Kosuke definitely couldn't be considered a fan of Utako Kasumigaoka.
Sonoko Machida unilaterally established an incorrect positive image for Kosuke on her own.
"Miss Machida, your ridiculous idea is the kind of thing only truly ridiculous people would have."
Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't know what Sonoko Machida was imagining at the moment, and spoke to the woman like she was dealing with a spoiled child.
"More than that, let's take a look at that child's manuscript together when the time comes."
Sonoko Machida, completely unaffected, said with great anticipation in her heart.
She had already considered it. As long as the quality of the other party's manuscript was acceptable, she would give that young man, who she thought was very righteous, a little bit of help.
"Absolutely not."
Miss Utaha quickened her pace and walked away.
