"Brother Yuta, I'm taking my sister back now."

Yuzuru Nishimiya was the first to get up and say goodbye, as it wouldn't be safe for her to go home with her sister if it got too late.

Yuta Kijima understood their predicament and asked, "Do you need me to take you home?"

"No need." Nishimiya Yuzuru shook his head: "There's a tram stop near Yuta's house. Mom will pick us up when we get there."

He observed the "little adult" and deeply understood how much pressure Yuzuru usually had to bear.

Nishimiya Shoko also used sign language to say, "I'm sorry to have bothered you today, Yuta. Please come to my house again next time."

Yuta Kijima nodded.

At the same time, he put his promise to Yuzuru first, and although the academic ability test was coming soon, he was quite relaxed.

Thinking of this, Yuta Kijima couldn't help but glance at the girl standing outside the door. Things will get better.

Then, the others, as if by prior arrangement, began to say goodbye.

Machida Sonoko, as usual, pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha along, but before entering the elevator, she mysteriously pulled him aside for a few words.

"Machida-san, is there something you need?" Kijima Yuta asked directly.

Machida Sonoko nodded and said softly in a very formal tone, "Didn't you ask me before when you could hold a book signing event?"

She can be playful and carefree, but when it comes to work, she immediately switches to her professional role.

Yuta Kijima thought about it. He had asked this question before. Wasn't it said that it was impossible for a new writer to be so fast?

It seems that Machida Sonoko really cares about his affairs.

Machida Sonoko noticed the confusion on his face and explained, "I really had to negotiate with the company to get this job, since your performance was so good, but..."

Yuta Kijima scratched his cheek, wondering if he could stop pausing at such a crucial moment.

“We’ve decided to hold your book signing and Xiaoshi’s event at the same time,” Machida Sonoko said with a smile.

After careful consideration, the company decided to hold a signing event for the two popular newcomers together. This would not only boost each other's popularity, but also help the company promote itself, given that both are students. This was a huge success.

"?" Yuta Kijima raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Me with Utaha-senpai?"

It doesn't matter.

He immediately grasped the significance of this arrangement; the publisher really wouldn't miss an opportunity to generate buzz.

"Yes, that's basically the decision."

"But the specific timing still needs to be planned by the planning department. I'm just giving you a heads-up now, so you should be prepared to hold the autograph session." Machida Sonoko mainly explained this matter to him.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "By the way, if you have any questions about the book signing, you can ask Xiaoshi."

Among publishing houses, 80% of the authors who write light novels are socially awkward, and all sorts of strange things happen whenever they hold a book signing event.

Although she felt that Kijima Yuta wouldn't have any problems, she still explained it to him again, adhering to her professional ethics as an editor.

After saying that, she pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha into the elevator.

"Either everything is fine, or just pile them all up together."

Yuta Kijima muttered helplessly.

"Cough cough..."

While he was pondering, Eriri also came out of the room and came up behind him. Seeing that Kijima Yuta was deep in thought, she had to cough lightly to remind him.

"Eri?" Yuta Kijima snapped out of his reverie and asked, "Are you going home too?"

Seemingly recalling what happened when she was alone with Yuta Kijima, Eriri's pretty face flushed slightly. Suppressing her embarrassment, she said, "Yes, the driver is already waiting for me downstairs."

It really is the evil of capitalism.

I really want to cling to that rich woman's leg.

His gaze unconsciously drifted to those slender legs. Those legs... I really...

Chapter 110 Before the Exam

Seemingly sensing Yuta Kijima's gaze, Eriri shifted her legs uncomfortably.

He then looked up at Eriri.

"Hey? Is Hai Meng going back with you?"

He saw Kitagawa Kaimu following behind Eriri, chatting with Kato Megumi.

In just one afternoon, Haimeng and Eriri became so familiar with each other?

Eriri crossed her arms and said proudly, "Of course! Haimeng is already my otaku friend!"

This is Eriri's unique charm.

A row of black lines appeared on Yuta Kijima's forehead.

What's with that arrogant expression?

However, seeing the two of them getting along so closely together, he was genuinely happy for them.

"Let's go, Riko-chan~" Kitagawa Kaimu had ended her chat with Kato Megumi at some point and suddenly jumped onto Eriri's back, hugging her affectionately.

"Hehe, Yuta, Eriri said she was going the same way and offered to take me home." She looked up and said happily.

"We originally wanted Hui to come with us, but she said it wasn't on our way, so she didn't plan to come with us."

"That's it..."

Yuta Kijima nodded.

"It's alright, you guys go back first, I'll take Hui with me later."

……

After seeing everyone off, Yuta Kijima re-entered the living room.

As soon as I entered, a light, airy voice rang in my ears.

"Yuta, I'm also planning to take my leave."

Yuta Kijima looked around and saw that Megumi Kato had already cleaned up the messy living room without him noticing.

"Excuse me, Megumi."

Kato Megumi shook her head. She was happy to be able to help Yuta with what she could, and said softly, "It's alright. After all, Yuta was the one taking care of us today."

As expected, only Hui could give him the best response in these small and subtle things. It's not that others are bad, but Hui is more considerate, and the impressions given by others are not as direct.

"Well... I'll take you to the station," Yuta Kijima said. "It'll be good to go out and digest our food."

Without giving Kato Megumi a chance to refuse, he gave his reasons directly.

Kato Megumi looked up, blinked, and calmly said, "Okay."

……

The two were walking towards the platform.

“Machida-san just told me about the autograph session,” Kijima Yuta said. “She said the date should be set sometime soon.”

"Eh?"

Kato Megumi's tone carried a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect Yuta's goal to be achieved so quickly."

Yuta Kijima and Megumi Kato exchanged a glance and fell into silence.

Naturally, both of them thought of the "agreement" they had made back then.

He hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "Hui... do you remember what you promised before?"

"Ah."

Kato Megumi responded softly, raised her hand to brush away the strands of hair ruffled by the evening breeze, and said lightly, "If Yuta hasn't forgotten, how could I possibly forget?"

Kijima Yuta paused, turning his head to look at Kato Megumi, whose usually calm face was now flushed with a faint blush.

Will Hui keep her promise...?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Thursday and Friday were the two days that all students at the private Toyonosaki Academy dreaded the most.

Students are overwhelmed with stress every day. Teachers don't provide exam highlights in class, so students have to summarize and organize the knowledge they've learned in class on their own.

Either you have a friend who's a top student to help you, or you're scratching your head and flipping through your textbooks after class.

During this time, Yuta Kijima successfully organized the knowledge points for this stage and taught them to Megumi Kato. He also gave a little extra help to Tomoya Aki and Eriri.

Although Eriri is of British and Japanese descent, her English grades are actually terrible; she's lucky if she can even pass her exams.

Because of this, Yuta Kijima even doubted whether her British bloodline was truly pure.

"Don't be nervous for tomorrow's exam, Megumi." In the audiovisual classroom, Yuta Kijima leaned close to Megumi Kato and said, "Just perform at the level you usually give me when I tutor you, and I believe in you."

"Yuta~"

Aki Tomoya, who was in the distance, immediately ran up to him and looked at Kijima Yuta pleadingly.

Kijima Yuta felt a chill and reached out to push away the face in front of him.

"I've done all I can to help you, because you didn't study hard before and now you can only cram at the last minute."

Aki Tomoya pushed up his glasses and sighed, "I can't help it. If my grades don't improve this time, the dean of academic affairs will strictly limit my working hours."

This is absolutely killing him.

You should know that ACG merchandise is never cheap.

After all, money from the world of anime and manga is the easiest to make.

If working hours are reduced, how will they buy "wives"?

Left with no other choice, he could only fantasize that Yuta Kijima could teach him some methods to quickly improve his grades.

It's worth noting that Yuta Kijima achieved a leap in his academic performance within just a few months.

He had no doubt that Yuta Kijima would succeed in taking first place in his grade in this exam.

"Then why don't you think about whether there are any cheating methods that won't be detected by the proctor?" Kasumigaoka Utaha casually flipped through the novel in her hands.

For her, who consistently ranks first in her grade, these people who cram at the last minute and still hope to get high scores are an insult to hardworking students.
