Oh, right—Tomoya Aki suddenly remembered that he had only revealed his online identity. He had yet to show Utaha Kasumigaoka the full extent of his vast and varied otaku knowledge.
Bang!
Tomoya Aki performed another dogeza.
"Utako Kasumi-sensei, p-please don't be like this. I really want an author's autograph. I've read Love Metronome so many times... At first, I didn't really understand Sayuka's way of thinking, but once I got into it, I realized—ah, so Sayuka had reasons like this and that too, just like the hippopotamus in White Love Song... However, Love Metronome's plot didn't develop like White Love Song. Instead, it was more like Little Love Song, sweet with a touch of sadness. Still, I think a development like Heaven-Sent Girl might have been even more appealing..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: #^_^
This bespectacled otaku did have some skill. Everything he mentioned seemed to be drawn from GALGAME works she had once taken inspiration from.
It couldn't be helped. Although Utaha Kasumigaoka had long black hair, a big bust, long legs, fair skin, and a pretty face, she had still been single since birth. Her only romantic experience probably came from GALGAMEs. How could the romance light novels she wrote possibly not bear traces of GALGAMEs?
Even the second heroine bore traces of GALGAME heroines. That was why Sogo Doma had mocked her before—what the hell was this Mai? Was she a Perfect Starian from Perfect Star? GALGAME heroines were practically perfect aliens, weren't they?
As Utaha Kasumigaoka pondered this, Tomoya Aki finally played his trump card.
"Um, Utako Kasumi-sensei, forgive my bluntness. While Love Metronome's content does have room for improvement, those are only minor flaws and nothing too serious. But aside from the content, Love Metronome really does have one major problem..."
That finally piqued Utaha Kasumigaoka's interest.
