Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Chapter 13: Kasumigaoka Utaha



"Have you seen enough?" She tapped her feet slowly as if waiting for him to answer her.

"Sorry, your legs are so beautiful that I'm mesmerized by it." Yuuki could only tell her truthfully and the girl didn't expect for him to be so honest to her. It was kind of novel feeling, whenever she asked someone who stared at her legs. They would avert their eyes immediately and said sorry to her. It was kind of boring.

In front of her, there was a person who was honest to say it in front of her. There were two reasons that he could do it, whether he was a gentleman or a genuine pervert. She was thinking inside her head until he disrupted her.

"Hello, sorry for waking you up from your sleep. My name is Shuuei Yuuki and I'm your new neighbor." Yuuki introduced himself.

The girl didn't say anything but observed him up and down. Yuuki knew that she was thinking something rude. He knew the girl in front of him was 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' one of the main heroine from 'Saekano' anime. He knew she had a sharp tongue and black belly character. Her words were so sharp that it could kill your confidence within a seconds. Even though she was beautiful, he didn't want to have anything to do with her. Hina-chan was million times better than her.

"This is my moving gift, I'll give it to you and I'll have to go back. I need to tidy up my apartment." Yuuki hurriedly went back to his room without letting her said anything to him.

Utaha didn't enter her room and looked at his back who entered his own apartment. She was very intrigued by his appearance. She was wondering if she could get a new idea for her novel after Yuuki became her neighbor.

"Shuuei Yuuki, huh?" Utaha didn't say anything else and entered her apartment. She checked his gift and happy it was her favorites strawberry cake.

In the next day, Yuuki had planned to go to Akihabara to buy a manga drawing tools for his manga studio. Mihari-chan had seen him a message that his assistant would come tomorrow and he needed to prepare his manga studio.

Yuuki went out from his apartment, but he had to meet Utaha. He didn't want to greet her, but it was a form of manners. He needed to greet her.

"Hello, are you going out?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, are you too?" Utaha said.

"Yeah, I want to buy some tools for my works," Yuuki said.

"Work? Are you working?" Utaha asked curiously.

"Well, I'm a high school, but I have a job as a mangaka." Yuuki didn't mind telling her.

"Hoo, is it that doujinshi where a lot of 18+ and where the guy is being a harem and do a disgusting thing to the girls or the tentacle..." Utaha kept talking and Yuuki wrinkled his eyebrow. He had never thought that her tongue was this sharp. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"So, how is it?" She asked again.

"No, I don't write a doujinshi, I'm publishing my work in Weekly Gongon and it'll be published in the next 2 days." Yuuki sighed and told her. He didn't want her to think of him as a hentai mangaka. It would cause his image to fall into grace.

"Hey?" Utaha didn't expect for Yuuki to publish his manga on a famous publishing company. She looked at him with an intrigued expression. She had always wanted to publish her own light novel and his neighbor had already published his own manga. Even though, they were the same age.

Utaha had actually to tour around the town so she could get an idea. She was quite curious about Yuuki and maybe if she followed him. She would be able to get an idea to write a novel from him.

"I'll go with you." Yuuki was startled when he heard her.

"What?" Yuuki thought he heard it wrong.

"I said, I'll go with you to buy tools for your work," Utaha said calmly but her expression told him that Yuuki couldn't reject her.

Yuuki took a deep breath and massaged his temple. He looked at Utaha who crossed her arms and tapped her feet. It was clear that she was waiting for his answer.

"What are you complaining about? You get a beautiful girl to accompany you for a day! Aren't you very lucky?" Yuuki wanted to shout that even though you were a beautiful girl but your mouth was too sharp. He shook his head and decided to bring her.

"Sure, you can follow me," Yuuki said with a defeated look that made her looked very smug.

Both of them were walking but no one said anything, Yuuki knew he had to start the conversation.

"Are you also in High School?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, I'm a 2nd years on Toyogasaki High School." Yuuki nodded in response.

"You know, I know it's late but I think, I still haven't heard your name." Yuuki knew her name but it was from his past life. Utaha would think of him as a stalker or a pervert if he knew her name suddenly.

"Oh, I haven't told you, didn't I?" Yuuki nodded in response and waiting for her to introduce herself.

"Well, be glad that you know the name of this beautiful girl." Yuuki's lips twitched several times when he heard it. "My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, as a present, I'll let you call me Utaha."
