Sonoko led Utaha to Ryuji's seat, looked at the young man, and introduced, "Hi, my name is Machida Sonoko, and I'm Utaha-chan's friend."
Utaha said that she didn't want to reveal her identity as a writer for the time being. Sonoko didn't know if this young man knew about Utaha's identity, so she didn't use an editor to refer to herself.
"I do not admit that you are a friend." Utaha said coldly, "And why did you drag me here!"
"What is it?" Sonoko smiled disapprovingly.
Ryuji was a little confused, but he still said: "Hello, I'm a junior at the same school as Utaha Senpai, my name is Hyakki Ryuji."
Sonoko leaned her elbow on Utaha, covered her mouth and sneered, "You really picked someone younger than you."
Instead, Sonoko received Utaha's fierce eyes.
The corner Ryuji's mouth twitched, and he asked patiently: "May I ask what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just happened to meet you so I came to say hello," Sonoko said with a smile.
Utaha looked as usual, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Since we said hello, could you please leave? As you can see, I'm dating my girlfriend," Ryuji said offhandedly to the two beauties.
When Mash heard the word girlfriend, her cheeks reddened, and she tugged at Ryuji's sleeve, "Senpai is so impolite."
"It's fine, we don't mind, we interrupted your date." Sonoko is not angry, she is a social person, how can she get angry because of a high school student's words.
On the contrary, she still admired Ryuji quite a bit, still young to be so outspoken and go his own way, which made her, who was about to arrive at Obasan (Auntie), very envious!
"Dating or something..." Mash's explanation was weak, because their actions were indeed dating.
"It's good to be young." Sonoko is feeling a little emotional. She hasn't even had a boyfriend since she graduated from high school.
"By the way, I haven't asked your name." Sonoko asked with a smile.
"My name is Mash Kyrielight, and I am Kouhai from Senpai." Mash stood up and said with a slight bow.
"Foreigners?" Sonoko asked unexpectedly.
"Yeah, I've lived abroad before," said Mash and pointed to the chair next to her, "Okay, if you don't mind, we can sit together."
Sonoko sat up happily, and tugged at the displeased Utaha.
Ryuji was a little helpless, the good date between the two was interrupted like this.
"Because Mash is from abroad, didn't she go to school there?" Sonoko said.
"No, Mash will transfer to Sobu High School next week." Ryuji took those words.
"Is that so." Sonoko shifted her gaze to Ryuji, and asked gossiply, "Since when Hyakki-kun and Mash started dating?"
Mash blushed, but Ryuji didn't reply, "This is a personal matter, no comment."
"Hey, it's not something hard to say." Sonoko continues to chase him.
"Enough!" Utaha stopped her editor's behavior, "I'm sorry, Kouhai-kun, although her ability at work isn't bad, but she has big trouble communicating with other people."
The corners Ryuji's mouth twitched, Utaha who seemed to have a poison tongue was not qualified to say that.
"Too much, Utaha-chan~"
"It's the same as coming here to talk, it's all because this woman suddenly made a mistake," Utaha said coldly.
"Does not matter." Ryuji shook his head, he wasn't happy, but he wasn't angry over such a trifling matter.
"Utaha Senpai's work is going well, because Tomoya has been a burden on you." Not knowing what to chat with Utaha, Ryuji has no choice but to bring the topic up to the club.
Utaha was a little surprised, "It's not a burden, the second volume of the novel has been completed, and there is more time for the next volume."
An interesting color appeared in Sonoko's eyes. It turned out that this young man knew about Utaha, and she took the initiative to tell him?
Ryuji nodded, looking down at the time, and said, "It's getting late, we should go."
While lunching out with Mash is also a good option, there are two younger sisters waiting to be fed.
Ryuji called the waiter to check out, then left with Mash.
"Senpai, Utaha-senpai likes you, right?"
On the way home, Mash suddenly said something.
Ryuji was a little surprised, "No way."
How could it be? He doesn't have much contact with Utaha, and at most he's just helping her to promote her novel.
"Hmph, Senpai is always easy to attract girls, Jeanne, Kiyohime and the others are like this too." Mash hummed softly.
Ryuji smiled awkwardly, what Mash said seemed to be true.
"How about you?" Ryuji naturally took Mash's hand and said with a smile.
Mash was a little shy, and let out a small voice, "I like Senpai the most!"
At the coffee shop, Sonoko looked at Utaha with interest, "Utaha-chan, looks like you're a step too late."
Utaha said coldly, "Thank you, I have decided on the contents of the third volume of [Love Metronome]."
[Love Metronome] is a school love story, if there is only one heroine, the plot will be boring, so just add another heroine!
"Your expression is scary," Sonoko warned.
At this moment, Utaha seemed to have entered a magical state, showing an eerie smile.
"How many times do I have to say it before you can change that title!"
