My daily life with the Shiina sisters

Xia Laofei

Only after Kasumigaoka Utaha left did Imagawa Kaede come out of the small suite with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

He sat directly in Machida Sonoko's office chair.

"Is that the new person you brought with you?"

There was a questioning tone in his voice, which made Machida Sonoko feel as if she had been caught cheating.

"Yes, Mr. Imagawa, would you like me to accompany you for a walk?"

"Is that the kind of sensual novel she writes?"

"Yes, but she should be practicing her writing skills. From the looks of her, she should be planning to become a light novel writer in the future. She has already started to conceive the outline of a light novel. This should be the last one she writes, cough cough."

"I see, you can drive, right? By the way, do you have a car?"

Machida Yuanzi didn't expect him to ask this out of the blue, so she replied subconsciously, "Yes, I have a car, too. The company just gave it to me."

"Then let's go, help me collect folk songs, I have thought of a new story."

Machida Yuanzi was still a little confused at this moment, but Imagawa Kaede continued to persuade her:

"Have you encountered any troubles at work recently? How about a spontaneous trip? Go to the place you want to go, even if it's only for today."

Upon hearing this, Machida Yuanzi looked at his serious expression and nodded with a wry smile.

She has indeed been feeling exhausted physically and mentally recently. After the original editor-in-chief was transferred, these matters fell on her shoulders. What's more, there have been a lot of rumors about her in the company.

She sometimes thinks back to when she was in the comic research club at Zaoying University. The carefreeness of that time is no longer there. She is glad that she has a job she likes and is an "insider", but she seems to have lost the happiness she once pursued.

Should I go crazy? If I get fired, I can just go and find my old classmates. Chitose and Akane-chan should be fine.

Although there is a high probability that she will not be fired, at most the rumors will be a little outrageous. It doesn't matter. She doesn't care anymore.

Looking at the handsome face of the man in front of her, she felt that it didn't matter if those rumors became true.

"In that case, I will risk my life to accompany Managing Director Imagawa. If President Yamaguchi wants to fire me, I'd like to ask Managing Director Imagawa to put in a few good words for me."

After sitting in the passenger seat of Machida Sonoko.

"Where to go?"

"It doesn't matter where we go. I want to see some different scenery."

The two of them started chatting boredly in the car.

"The inspiration for this story comes from the fact that I was able to see a girl recently that no one else could see."

"Invisibility? Super powers? Fantasy? But if the girl is very pretty, it will definitely be a very good subject."

"Well, let's just treat it as a fantasy, but it's not the same story as I imagined."

"Tell me about it." Machida Sonoko became interested. Imagawa Kaede's words were a little unexpected.

"According to my conception, there is a chance that young people in that world will get a certain disease?"

"sick?"

"Yes, it is a disease. Let's call it "Charlotte". People with this disease will have many strange superpowers without direct side effects. These superpowers are very powerful, but there are some disadvantages, such as speed abilities that cannot be stopped because of being too fast, and perspective abilities that can only see underwear, etc."

"That sounds interesting, but what about that invisibility ability you just mentioned?"

"Hahaha, it's quite a coincidence that the invisibility ability can only make one person invisible to her, which is exactly the opposite of only one person being able to see her."

"It will probably be very interesting, but you have to write it first. After all, Mr. Bai Zhou hasn't even handed in the second volume yet."

"Let's not talk about work today. Didn't we agree to come out and relax?" Imagawa Kaede said, patting the dashboard in front of him.

"Okay, okay, please be merciful. I just repaired the paint that was scratched off last time.

I don't have money to fix my car this month." Machida Yuanzi said with a painful look on her face, and then she started talking about the inspiration that Imagawa Kaede had just mentioned: "According to what you said, having this superpower shouldn't be considered a disease, right? It's more like an awakening."

"No, no, no, this is a disease. Talent is a lie and it is evil. Originally, all people were born equal. It is only because of the difference in talents that we are in this situation now. Superpowers are also a kind of ability, so of course they count."

Machida Yuanzi was a little surprised when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Imagawa Kaede continue:

"Of course, the above are all jokes. Instead of thinking about this kind of funny equality, it's better to write some poisonous chicken soup to fool people about 996, working people, and being the best. After all, the harder they work, the more I earn. Sorry, I forgot about you too."

"This bastard." Machida Yuanzi thought indignantly. In fact, although she subconsciously thought that Imagawa Kaede's talent was a lie and evil, her judgment was wrong. However, it is undeniable that the absolute equality of people should be like the robots in the factory, eliminating all differences in subjective initiative, but this is also a kind of inequality.

Well, why should I think about something that people haven't understood for thousands of years?

"This disease is actually like acne during puberty. It will disappear when humans become adults. But it's like giving weapons to children. A lot of things can happen afterwards. Isn't it interesting?"

Looking at the raised corner of his mouth beside him, Machida Sonoko didn't know what she was thinking. The car slowly drove into Shinjuku District and stopped near Hayao University.

"Come on, get off the car. Our garden here is quite nice, let's just relax."

Imagawa Kaede knew about Hayao University, which was one of the two largest private universities on the island country like Shuchiin University. Walking on the campus, Imagawa Kaede saw all kinds of female college students. Of course, there were male ones as well, but Imagawa Kaede subconsciously ignored them.

The two of them gave people a very strange feeling when they walked on the street. Imagawa Kaede, wearing casual clothes, looked sunny and handsome, while Machida Sonoko, wore a professional suit with short hair, which highlighted her efficiency and a hint of intelligence. However, the effect would be much better if she could wear glasses.

In short, although the two of them looked like tourists, the combination of a professional female office worker and a sunny young man did indeed significantly increase the rate at which passers-by turned their heads.

"How is Sayao University? Not bad, right?" asked Machida Sonoko.

"It's really good. If I wasn't a student of Shuchiin, Todai University would be the first choice and I should have been selected a long time ago."

"That's true. The subjects at Shuchiin University are more suitable for the children of wealthy families like you. The subjects at Waseda University are more accessible to the general public."

"Haha, the subjects are secondary. The main reason is that there are too many places for internal admissions at Shuchiin. And compared to the ancient Mita Clan at Shuchiin, the Inamon Clan at Waseda University is more accepting of commoners. Of course, the Akamon Clan at Todai is definitely the first choice."
