Chapter 14: Submission and Pseudo-Lolita

  Writing is not a simple matter, especially when it comes to depicting an eccentric protagonist with unconventional ideas, which requires even more effort from the author.

  Wabiya Valley, no, different from Hikigaya Valley, Sōichirō who stays in the room alone writing manuscripts is a man who yearns for rose-colored youth, Otome Kajin Three Thousand, although he doesn't want to waste his youthful sweat, at least wants to taste the flavor of 'youth', experience true student life.

  However, after being in contact with Da Lao Shi for a long time, Sōsuke would occasionally have the same idea.

  Interacting with others can be understood as a game, and this game will eventually have an end one day. When the time comes to personally press the 'GAME OVER' button, what kind of thoughts will arise?

  Feeling sad because of the end of a relationship? Feeling sorrowful because of each other's departure? Or being indifferent, having no feelings at all?

  If I had to say, Sosuke might be the first type of person, the kind that appears when one is slightly sentimental.

  After all, the established connection is coming to an end, and no matter who it is, they will find it unacceptable.

  The great teacher was always alone from start to finish, it is precisely because of this that he had contact with others, both lonely and 'welcome'.

  Those who dislike youth often dislike romance, after all, the relationship between the two can be said to be closely related.

  Love can prove that youth is fun, and youth can also show the possibility of love. However, for Sosuke, youth is acceptable, but love is somewhat resistant.

  Yes, Sosuke Mikazuki, a man who yearns to be the king of the back palace, is somewhat sensitive about the topic of romance.

  Just like the memories buried in youth, Sosuke also buried his memories of love, because Sosuke's first confession was actually stolen by a handsome boy!

  My god! I've been confessed by a boy! Does so-called 'pure love' really exist in this world?

  Ten men and women laughing together, two pairs of lilies and three pairs of bases, this is the true reflection of the world. So the conclusion drawn is - Love, explode!

  Let's just conclude it as Teacher Sōsuke's Love Theory for now.

  Sosuke, who was writing at top speed, reached for the tea on his left side, but instead grabbed something soft.

  Small, flat, soft, judging from the psychology of 'romantic comedy', this must be... European style!

  "It's supposed to be like that!"

  A perfect right hook hit Satoru's left cheek, the impact sent Satoru flying from a kneeling position, his shoulder hitting the ground first, followed by his back and elbow, his entire body lying in a big character shape on the cold floor, staring at the ceiling.

  Shaking his head, Sosuke moved his gaze and placed it on the soft spot from earlier, no, not that, but rather where he was attacked just now.

  A pseudo-lolita, dressed in a black and red Gothic-style long dress, like a doll figurine from somewhere, holding a bag, was glaring angrily this way.

  People's gaze always makes one feel uneasy, being stared at by a harmless cat may be this kind of feeling, humans are indeed strange creatures, full of all sorts of interesting things.

  Sato attempted to peek under her skirt as revenge, but through the phone placed under the pseudo-Lolita's skirt, it can be seen that she is wearing anti-wolf underwear, truly a woman with high vigilance.

  Fortunately, this young lady neither has electric powers nor a mobile sister, so her combat strength is not high and there's no problem at all.

  "I didn't expect you to make such a foolish move as soon as you came. I'm calling the PTA right now to report your indecent behavior towards me."

  "Is that the PTA? Which elementary school are you from?"

  "I'm just an ordinary little girl who called the police to save a little black cat that was hit and killed right in front of me."

  "Don't pretend to be a magical girl anymore, little sister Kohane can't possibly be this lolita."

  Maybe, perhaps it's really so lolita.

  But now Sosuke knows that voice actors generally have a good understanding of anime, after all, they've played various roles and can't help but remember them.

  To better portray a character, voice actors often read the original work several times to understand the character's definition and personality in the book.

  Sōsuke sat up from the floor and fixed his gaze on the bag in Pseudo-Lolita's hand.

  "What is Miss Kawasumi's reason for coming here?"

  "Because Mr. Naito is very busy with work, I was asked to bring over the scripts of other teachers for you to take a look."

  "Really? But Kawasumi-san won't be voicing it?"

  This one.

  Miss Kawasumi picked up the tea that Sosuke had drunk and finished it in one gulp, to her, the boy in front of her was just a little devil.

  "Voice actors also need to rest, after all I worked hard to finish five episodes of TV drama yesterday, so I got a chance to rest. Then I heard you bought a house, so I came to take a look."

  Sōsuke told Natsuki his home address so they could meet up and continue their relationship, which is also how Kawasumi-san found out.

  Judging from her expression, she seems completely indifferent to the gloomy forest outside, which is something that can be praised about this pseudo-Lolita.

  Taking over the script from Kawasumi-san, Sosuke puts it aside and runs towards the kitchen.

  "Now that you're here, take a rest. What kind of drink do you like, Kawasumi-san? Coffee is fine, right? My orange juice was all gone before you arrived, so I'm afraid the hospitality is a bit lacking."

  "I don't like coffee, give me a glass of milk instead."

  "So you like drinking milk."

  "What's with that lingering gaze! I'm just drinking milk because it's nutritious!"

  "Generally speaking, it will only get bigger if you rub it."

  "Pervert!"

  Sōsuke caught the candy that was thrown at him, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth, biting down on it with a crunch.

  Kawakami-san poured a cup of milk, while Sosuke opened a can of frozen coffee. After all, the tea was already gone, leaving only coffee and milk.

  Sosuke, who was typing away on his laptop that Kaichou had bought for him, making an electronic manuscript to submit, suddenly heard the voice of Kawasumi-san beside him.

  "Hey, does rubbing it really make it bigger?"

  "Hmph!"

  The coffee all sprayed out, but fortunately it didn't spray onto the laptop, so it's safe.

  Sōsuke wiped away the milk that had sprayed out of the cup with a towel and furrowed his brow in thought.

  Deceiving people is a bad behavior, especially deceiving an innocent pseudo-lolita like her. As someone with integrity, Sosuke was still very normal and ordinary, so...

  In the end, he gave Ms. Kawasumi a thumbs up and flashed his pearly whites after clicking the electronic submission button for "Spring Breeze".

  "Awesome!"
