Midori snapped her fingers in front of Shinji's nose to wake him up from his trance.
"What are you staring at her for? Are you falling in love with someone other than Akiko-san?"
Shinji pursed his lips and squinted at Midori.
"Of course not! Onee-sama, who is that?"
"That is Shouko Nishimoto," Midori said in a low voice. "I am sure that you remember her."
Shinji's lips formed a huge O in response.
"Onee-sama, are you dumb?" He asked right away, earning himself a shifty look from Midori.
"Why would you rescue your rival in love?"
Typical of the wretched author who got rid of all adversaries by killing them off.
"I am not like you. I am not going to leave her on her own during a riot in Ginza."
Shinji rolled hard with his eyes.
"This is why I dislike newbie authors," he murmured under his breath. "Always thinking that they can save everyone and give everyone a happy ending. Ridiculous!"
