Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Bai Quanyi bent down, squatted until he was at the same height as him, and asked while looking at him straight in the eye.

I seem to have read this in a novel before: when talking to a short child, looking down at him will give him a sense of oppression.

"Are you guys a stupid couple?"

"Hmm? What did you say? Can you say it again?"

Bai Quanyi couldn't understand whether children nowadays had too much knowledge and every child had become Conan.

"I asked you if you are a stupid couple."

"Not."

. ..... ...

"Then why are you guys showing off your love here?"

"We're not showing off our love." Bai Quanyi defended himself and Shiyu.

"You're lying. Mom said couples who keep showing off their affection regardless of who's watching are stupid. That's what you were doing just now, wasn't it?"

The child's pure and innocent eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered a new species of insect.

"...Do we look like we're showing off our affection?"

"Ah."

After all, he is still a child.

The fierce and beautiful girl with long black hair standing next to Bai Quanyi had a face as red as a tomato.

"Kasumigaoka Shiyu?"

"Hey, ahhh? Here! What's wrong?"

"It's not what's wrong, I'm asking if you're okay?"

"Of course...it's okay, I'm fine."

"I see, I'm glad you're okay, if you're okay..."

"As expected, at times like this, you should just say 'Go home and spread the seeds,' right?"

"That's like a spell in an RPG. It's not nice to criticize other people's parenting practices, but I imagine your mother has had a lot of hard times."

Even though they have children, they still vent their jealousy and anger towards couples. They must have had a lot of heartaches during their school days.

"Isn't that right?" the child asked.

"Yes, this sister and I are indeed a couple, but we are not a stupid couple, because she is the only stupid one."

"Haha...your girlfriend will run away if you talk like that..."

The little boy said with disdain.

There's Something Wrong with My Science Romance Story

"Women should not be spoiled." Bai Quanyi taught the boy a lesson in a domineering manner.

The boy seemed to accept it. He picked up a bag of snacks with a small gift and walked away with a "pa ta pa ta" sound. What the hell is going on?

Then, Baiquanyi stood up and said, "How should I put it, the kids these days are really smart."

"Yes. Oh, I was really scared. But you said women shouldn't be spoiled. What's going on here?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her long hair, put her arms around her shoulders, and glared at Shiraizumi Masaru.

"Don't get me wrong, I just think that kid is nosy. I said that so that he won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future."

"Ahh—Quan Yi, you're even worse than I thought!"

"If I weren't such a bad person, how could I have found such a perfect girlfriend like you? You're cute and caring. You're both serious and gentle. You're also good at housework. With such good conditions, I'm such a lucky man."

"W-what, what, what? What did you suddenly say? Even if you praise me so much——"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's cheeks became more and more rosy due to practice, but Shiraizumi Mashi had no intention of stopping and kept saying sweet words to her.

"No, no, no, these are my true feelings. I've always thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha would be very popular, and I'm definitely used to this kind of teasing. However, I'm truly happy that Kasumigaoka Utaha chose me in the end."

"Ah, ah, no. Yeah. This kind of thing has happened a lot, um, but—" Kasumigaoka Shiyu adjusted her slightly messy bangs while catching her breath. "Well, compared to being gossiped about when I'm with my classmates, well, how should I put it? Well, it feels different when it's with someone you really like. It's a little embarrassing, a little confusing, but it doesn't feel annoying at all."

"This, this is it."

Before I knew it, a sweet scent began to fill the air.

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded shyly.

Seeing how cute Kasumigaoka Utaha was, Shirazumi Mashi couldn't help but want to kiss her, but because it was a public place, he managed to hold back with great difficulty.

"Go on shopping, anything else?"

"Yes, yes. Well, let's go buy some meat anyway."

"Okay, got it, meat, meat"

Until the end, when they walked out of the supermarket, both of them had hot faces. They were obviously an old couple, but they were like a new couple.

"Oh!"

It was only after I walked out of the supermarket that I realized the rain had stopped.

The light penetrated the gaps in the thick clouds and extended straight down, it was the Angel's Stairway.

The air after the rain is particularly clear and fresh.

"Then, let's go back."

"Um"

The two of them set out on their journey home side by side.

At the same time, Bai Quanyi asked.

"Shiyu, could it be that the inspiration for the final scene in 'Love Metronome' came from scenery like this?"

"Yes."

"I really like that scene. Although the ending isn't explicitly stated, the clouds dispersing after the rain, the clear sky, the burst of light. As soon as I saw it, I knew that those two finally found happiness... I said it without even thinking. Is that the right explanation?"

"Well, you're not wrong."

Unconsciously, the two of them cast their gazes into the endless depths of space. Along with the golden light, a warmth spread through their hearts.

"Thank you." Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly thanked her.

"Huh? Why is Shiyu saying thank you to me now?"

“Because I’m happy.”

"Are you inspired?"

"Well, at least you've figured out how to write the beginning?"

"How is it?"

"A wonderful development between a high school girl and a decadent detective uncle."

"Sounds interesting."

As they turned the corner, the sinking crimson sunset covered the street, stretching endlessly before their eyes. Shiraizumi Masaru and Kasumigaoka Shiyu's skin was also stained with the orange-red, and they couldn't help but clasp their fingers together.

“I am very happy to be able to shop with Quan Yi”

"Is this kind of thing so joyful?"

"Because, this is like a scene from a romantic comedy, isn't it?"

In an instant, Baiquanyi seemed

Something fell into my heart...

It was an impulse, a thrill, a surprise, exactly what I had been looking for.

It seems that I was thinking too complicated before.

That's what a "romantic comedy" is, really. It doesn't need anything special. Just you and me, humming a song, holding hands—that's all.

This is already a romantic comedy.

Shiraizumi Mashi probably understood the feeling expressed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's words.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha's hands are really cold."

“But, I feel warm inside.”

That's it.

That night, Kasumigaoka Utaha sent an email to editor Machida Sonoko.

It is to reply to the email sent to the door.

After typing in the usual greetings, Kasumigaoka Utaha continued writing.

“I want to proceed with this plan.”

Then, Kasumigaoka Utaha attached a text file.

The above is the plot synopsis for a new romantic comedy with detective elements. A plot synopsis is a plan or blueprint for a novel, something editors use to understand the work and writers use as a basis for their work.

The theme is the bizarre daily life of "a high school girl and a decadent detective uncle".

The protagonist is a 28-year-old detective who appears decadent but is actually quite capable. The heroine is a gentle and virtuous high school girl.

This is a story about two people who meet and deepen their feelings as they pursue the truth together.

At around three o'clock in the morning, editor Sonoko Machida sent a reply.

The article is very short.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let's keep writing."

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her computer and looked behind her at the man sleeping in her bed.

If "Love Metronome" is a romantic comedy imagined by Utaha Kasumigaoka, then "My Detective Romance is Wrong, As I Expected" is a light novel created by Utaha Kasumigaoka based on her daily life with her boyfriend.

The story is less about the girl's fantasies and more about her sincere emotions. "My Detective Romance Is Wrong, As I Expected" is sure to be well-received by readers, just like "Love Metronome."

The Shape of Kasumigaoka Poetry Rain

"Excuse me. I'm sure you're hungry. I'll go prepare lunch right away."

Shiraizumi stared blankly at the high school girl in the kitchen, hurriedly putting on her apron. Perhaps because she was lying down, Shiraizumi's gaze was fixed on her buttocks. Her skirt was slightly shorter than her knees, neither inelegant nor tacky; it was the perfect length.

How did high school girls manage to acquire such perfect taste?

Ah, it’s not just girls.

There are also quite a few boys who wear their school uniforms with great taste. Most of them are those with high status in school. But it's not just that. The techniques for styling eyebrows, waxing hair, buying trendy private clothes, and communicating with those annoying salespeople at beauty salons remain a mystery.

The world always has many unsolved mysteries.

When Shiraizumi Mashi was admiring those attractive legs, Kasumigaoka Shigure called him.

"Quan Yi, what are you looking at?"

“I didn’t look anywhere.”

Even as he lied, Baiquanyi's eyes were still fixed on her feet. What beautiful knees, the skin covered by the thin black stockings was so crystal clear.

"I want to make one thing clear. Girls are very sensitive to men's gazes. They can probably tell from where they are looking."

"So, question. Where am I looking now?"

"Until now you were staring at my legs, now you're looking at the bra strap showing through my shirt."

As if announcing today's menu, Kasumigaoka Shiyu gave a firm answer.

Wow, correct.

The high school girl is a charming superpower.

"...I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay. Go ahead."
