I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Aki Tomoya remembered saying that, but he couldn't remember who said it; maybe it was Lu Xun.

"But let's think about what kind of topics we want to write about first, and continue to maintain this style."

Write what you're good at, and do whatever feels right.

Since Sayaka Kudo's debut work went smoothly, she can certainly continue in her style.

"You speak so eloquently, why don't you write a book about it?"

At this point, Sayaka Kudo actually started to entice Tomoya Aki to become a fan.

The latter bluntly stated that writing novels is a dead end!

Unsurprisingly, upon hearing Aki Tomoya's words, Kudo Sayaka's eyes immediately filled with disdain.

Just then, he glanced at the time on his watch, then frowned slightly and asked with some concern, "Furuhashi-san is already late. Knowing her personality, she shouldn't be late, right?"

It had been almost half an hour since the agreed time.

In theory, Fumino Furuhashi should have arrived earlier, but she's actually more than half an hour late.

Weird!

"I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out, Fumino was way late today!"

Sayaka Kudo was chatting with Tomoya Aki the whole time and didn't pay attention to the time.

Looking at the time now, I realized that Fumino Furuhashi was already quite late.

In the past, when we agreed to meet at a certain time, everyone would arrive early. But this time, for some reason, Fumino Furuhashi has not shown up yet.

"Just ask."

Whether she's late or not doesn't matter, but the fact that Fumino Furuhashi didn't say anything is a little worrying.

It's quite surprising when someone who's never late suddenly shows up late.

Sayaka Kudo nodded and then took out her phone to contact Fumino Furuhashi.

The call was answered quickly, and Sayaka Kudo immediately asked, "Ayano, what's going on? You haven't arrived yet. Didn't we agree to hang out today? Have you forgotten?"

About ten seconds later, Kudo Sayaka heard some kind of reply, and her expression suddenly changed.

"What? What's going on?"

Something went wrong?

Seeing this, Aki Tomoya was also a little curious about what was going on.

"No...but...don't hang up yet!"

Sayaka Kudo's expression changed little by little.

Fumino Furuhashi ignored her words and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Sayaka Kudo was holding her phone, looking utterly speechless.

Her expression caught Aki Tomoya's attention, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Judging from her expression, Aki Tomoya had already guessed that Furuhashi Fumino probably wouldn't be able to come today.

But why exactly is that?

What did Fumino Furuhashi say on the phone?

They didn't say anything beforehand, and only told me they couldn't come when I called. I don't know why.

"She said she can't come..."

Sayaka Kudo still wore that speechless expression.

"Ok?"

So, what's the reason?

Didn't we agree on this before?

Why can't they come all of a sudden?

It was completely baffling; they had been waiting there for a full half hour.

"I just can't come..."

After saying that, Kudo Sayaka fell completely silent.

reason?

She then heard Fumino Furuhashi say that she couldn't come and that the two of them should play by themselves.

That's all. As for any reason, Fumino Furuhashi couldn't even be bothered to come up with one.

And without any prior notice.

"So, she stood us both up?"

Aki Tomoya muttered to himself, somewhat annoyed.

After waiting for so long, when I called to ask, all they said was that they couldn't come, and that was it... Unbelievable...

At this moment, Aki Tomoya was feeling frustrated, while Kudo Sayaka felt like she had been tricked.

Fumino Furuhashi's tone on the phone really left her speechless...

The two, who had been stood up by Fumino Furuhashi, each had different thoughts at this moment.

Aki Tomoya was also wondering why Furuhashi Fumino was acting so strangely today.

As for Sayaka Kudo, she had a suspicion in her mind, but she didn't want that suspicion to be true.

She glanced discreetly at Aki Tomoya, who still looked confused, and muttered to herself, "What's Fumino doing? This is supposed to be a celebration for her, what is she thinking..."

Meanwhile, at Fumino Furuhashi's house, after hanging up the phone with Sayaka Kudo, she acted as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell them beforehand, but she was afraid that if she did, both of them would leave.

So, she only told Sayaka Kudo that she couldn't come when she called her.

But in fact, Fumino Furuhashi had nothing to do today and could have gone to meet with Tomoya Aki and Sayaka Kudo.

However, in the end she decided it was better not to go today.

Although I was very grateful to my two friends for inviting me out to relax after her second exam, I decided not to be a third wheel.

"I think I forgot to mention that we can go out and have fun together after the results are released..."

At that moment, Fumino Furuhashi remembered that she had forgotten to say something earlier.

I really can't go today, but if I pass the exam after the results are released, we can definitely celebrate together.

As for today, let the two of them play alone.

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later. I also need to apologize to Sayaka properly!"

Since there was no prior notice, those two must have been waiting for quite a while and are probably feeling resentful.

Thinking about it carefully, if someone had waited for so long and then suddenly found out that the person who was late couldn't come without prior notice, they would definitely feel some resentment.

Breaking a promise like this is very impolite.

But this will only happen once, Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself.

She has already made it clear that she will not be showing up today, while Aki Tomoya and Kudo Sayaka are still struggling with this matter.

What started as a gathering of three turned into a private meeting between two people, suddenly developing into something resembling a date.

Both Aki Tomoya and Kudo Sayaka realized this at the same time, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little awkward at this moment.

"What's next?"

The two asked the question almost simultaneously.

Their words were consistent.

Because Fumino Furuhashi couldn't come, the plan had already changed.

At this moment, the two of them spoke at the same time, and both asked the same question, causing the scene to freeze instantly.

The two of them smiled awkwardly.

"If Wen Nai had come, we were planning to go to a nearby music restaurant together, but that guy suddenly stood me up, I'm so angry!"

Sayaka Kudo knows a good music restaurant.

The original plan was for the three of them to go there together, and she was also the organizer of this gathering.

Unexpectedly, Fumino Furuhashi stood them up.

Now that they can't come, the two of them are going to a music restaurant?

"How about just the two of us go? I'll treat."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya asked.

He still had great faith in Sayaka Kudo's judgment.

Since Fumino Furuhashi can't come, then the two of them will go.
