Ryunosuke decided to act out of desperation—to hell with everything!
He planned to write six novels simultaneously to cover the remaining 1.2 billion deficit. Just to be safe, he checked the internet first to ensure that the novels he was about to write wouldn't "collide" with existing works. Given what had happened before, he couldn't afford to make the same mistake twice.
Actually, what Ryunosuke didn't realize was that all the novels he had written previously had been collisions. However, because his first two works were love stories about common folk, people didn't pay much attention to them.
This was especially true for the male and female leads of 5 Centimeters per Second; perhaps they wanted to let their failed thirteen-year love story remain a memory, so they didn't hold Ryunosuke accountable. Furthermore, in the work I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, the female protagonist had already passed away. Who was there left to sue?
On top of that, the male protagonist also hoped this story would continue so that more people would know the tale of him and the girl.
Therefore, Ryunosuke had to be extremely careful not to collide again. Yet, what drove him to despair was that almost everything related to daily life already had an owner; only the supernatural power genre remained unclaimed.
Ryunosuke threw down his pen and frustratedly ruffled his messy hair. At this point, due to the strain of forcing himself to write six novels, his hair had become as disheveled as a bird's nest. He was suffering from a headache, trying to figure out what to write.
However, he was well aware that no matter how fast he wrote, tangible results took time. At the very least, it would be impossible to achieve within the timeframe before he returned to school.
"Sigh..."
Ryunosuke let out a long breath, intending to go out for a walk to relieve his gloomy mood.
The weather this morning was very clear; the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, looking as if they were welcoming a new life. The air carried a sweet, alluring fragrance. Ryunosuke kept walking until he reached a sloping road.
At the top of that slope, amidst the falling cherry blossom petals, a familiar silhouette wearing a beret entered his field of vision. He thought he was seeing things; he closed his eyes and opened them again, and the silhouette was still there.
She was wearing a beret and a red jacket. Beneath her short-sleeved jacket was a white checkered one-piece dress. The long white socks on her legs were very striking, especially at the top, where two red ribbons were tied into butterfly knots, highlighting the perfect silhouette of her legs. To top it off, she wore a pair of red high-heeled loafers.
Even Ryunosuke was unconsciously dazed by the sight.
Megumi, seeing this reaction, felt deeply satisfied, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. Her meeting with Ryunosuke today was a coincidence. Because she hadn't been able to find him earlier, she had gone home briefly to change clothes. Unexpectedly, just as she stepped out of the house, she immediately saw the person she missed so dearly.
As if it were a stroke of fate from God, a gust of wind blew at that exact moment, sweeping Megumi's beret away until it fell at Ryunosuke's feet.
Megumi did not move forward to retrieve it; instead, she stared straight at her beloved with a gaze full of longing. She hoped Ryunosuke would pick up the hat himself and place it on her head.
At this moment, Ryunosuke had lost his ability to think. He picked up the beret, patted off the dust, and then walked with light steps toward his "third wife" and gently placed the hat on her.
Megumi smiled with satisfaction, then leaned into Ryunosuke's embrace. Her two arms wrapped around the man's waist as she inhaled the scent of his body.
"I missed you..."
At this moment, Ryunosuke didn't want to ask why she was here; he only wanted to enjoy this fleeting moment of tranquility with the beautiful woman in his arms.
This scene happened to be seen clearly by a man wearing glasses named Aki Tomoya. He was captivated by the moment. And in an instant, he fell head over heels for that indescribably beautiful girl with the bob-cut hair.
After all, the current Megumi was simply too beautiful. Although her presence was usually thin, it was undeniable that she was a top-tier beauty. As if the wheels of fate were influencing her, Megumi's presence today was exceptionally prominent. It was as if her ability was malfunctioning, forcing everyone to notice her. People passing by turned their heads, captivated by the sight.
Ryunosuke frowned, looking jealous. His Megumi should only be seen by him alone. He took her hand, preparing to leave the place which was starting to get crowded.
Just then, Tomoya rode his bicycle and blocked their path. He cried out pleadingly:
"Please, be the heroine in my work!"
The man completely ignored Ryunosuke; in his eyes right now, there was only the girl he considered to be his own heroine.
Ryunosuke's face grew darker. He secretly moved his hand toward the weapon at his waist; he had an urge to shoot this person dead.
Megumi said in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
She pressed closer to Ryunosuke's side, and their hands gripped each other tightly with fingers interlaced.
Only then did Ryunosuke pull his hand away from his pistol, and his bloodlust diminished slightly. Daring to snatch his woman was the same as seeking death.
Tomoya's face slumped in disappointment. Ryunosuke and Megumi passed him by, their arms linked together as they walked away.
After they were far from Tomoya and certain the man couldn't hear their conversation, only then did Ryunosuke ask.
"Why are you here? How did you get out..."
The moment he said it, he immediately regretted it. Considering Megumi's abilities, wouldn't leaving school be an incredibly easy thing for her? It wouldn't be as complicated as it was for him, who had to spend 20 million private points to redeem himself. Megumi had no such problem; she could come and go as she pleased...
Megumi let out a very cheerful little laugh. Suddenly, she remembered the figure of her "boss," Morishita Ai. She waved her hand as if to banish the image from her mind.
To hell with the mission; she had completely forgotten about it. Right now, she only wanted to be with Ryunosuke.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile, inside the school, Ai was standing with her arms crossed. Her finger kept tapping against her own arm, her brow twitching. She felt that Megumi wouldn't just obey her so easily.
Ai's intuition was correct. Megumi had finally gained her freedom. Considering how difficult her life used to be, constantly being strictly controlled by Ai to the point of having no chance to be intimate with Ryunosuke. Now, Megumi could finally be alone with him without Ai's supervision. Megumi began to release her true nature.
However, she still asked in an anxious tone.
"Is Ryunosuke-kun facing trouble?"
"In school, I saw you asking for help from Nino, Haruka, and Suzune... those sisters."
"Did something happen?"
Megumi had originally wanted to call them "classmates," but in the end, she changed it to "sisters." After all, since she was third in line, those who came after her should logically be called younger sisters. Even though she and Suzune were best friends, this sort of thing had to be made clear.
Who was actually the boss!
Ryunosuke's steps halted, his gaze appearing complicated, but finally, he sighed and told her the truth.
"I'm doing it to save people..."
