When I Go Back in Time, My Ex-wife Is Making a Passionate Approach to Me, and I’m Having Trouble With It
After school, we headed to the clubroom. When we entered the clubroom, Tachibana and Kyoka were already there.
“Thank you for your hard work. Senpaid!”
Tachibana stood up and greeted me. She winked at me so that Haruka could not see. I was supposed to meet up with Tachibana later today. We have an appointment to make plans for Tachibana’s interview.
“I’ve talked to the OG person, so I’ll share it with you two.”
Tachibana then started up her computer and sent the data to the shared folder.
Haruka and Kyoka checked it and read it silently.
“It is very informative. I’d like to talk to her too if I get a chance next time.”
“I’m sure she would be pleased. Senpai was very happy to see that the Literature Club has more members.”
From the impression I got when I met her, she seemed to be a very kind person.
I’m going to start working hard today because my consciousness is now ready to become a full-fledged professional.
I immediately started up my computer and began writing.
After writing for about an hour, I looked next door and saw Tachibana looking at the screen with a serious expression on her face.
The look on Tachibana’s face as she writes her novel is so beautiful that I can’t help but admire it.
“Did you get it written?”
Haruka peeks in from behind me.
“Yes, I’ve written as far as I can.”
“Your writing is getting faster.”
Maybe it’s because I’ve changed my mind. I was now serious about becoming a professional. I’ve actually listened to professional writers, and that feeling is getting stronger.
I want to be a full-time writer. You might say I’m a dreamy kid. But this time, I want to live a life that is not dominated by work. I am a workaholic, and it is obvious that if I work, I will not take care of my family. I know I’m a brat, but I’ve just started my life over. I want to live the life I want.
“I wonder if you’ve got any tricks up your sleeve.”
“I got some advice from the professor.”
The other day, I asked Saigusa-san, who had sent advice on Tachibana’s manuscript, how I could learn to write faster. Saigusa-san said that the first thing to do is to write it down. It is difficult to write when you think about expression and storyline. So, first, try to write out a rough draft. By doing so, you can earn the amount of time you need to write. Then, she advised me to think about the expressions and other things when I polish my work. When I put this advice into practice, I was surprised to find that I could really write. After all, the opinions of professionals are very helpful.
“It’s almost time to leave for school.”
The moment Haruka said that, the chime rang. We shut down the computer and started getting ready to leave.
“Let’s go home together.”
“Sorry, I have something to do today.”
I said no to Haruka and left the school before her. I went to the family restaurant where I was meeting Tachibana and waited for her. After a while, Tachibana came in.
“Thank you for waiting.”
“I haven’t been waiting that long.”
“I’m excited to see you like this.”
Tachibana said as she sat down in a chair. I was thinking about having Haruka and the others join us, but Tachibana said that the interview wouldn’t be complete with them, so we kept it a secret from them.
“So senpai, where are you taking me?”
Tachibana threw the date plan to me. Since she wants to have a real date, I should be the one to come up with the date plan.
“What kind of things does Tachibana like?”
“Well. I like going to cafes.”
Cafe hopping, huh? It certainly sounds appealing to be able to enjoy a variety of sweets and talk at the same time. After all, I don’t really know anything about Tachibana specifically. I’m going to use this opportunity to get to know her too.
“Then, how about a safe date at a café?”
“Senpai, please check out the store.”
“I understand.”
The cafe isn’t particularly bright, but these days you can find anything you want by searching online. There are sure to be plenty of photogenic sweets, and it would be nice to see Tachibana’s happy face.
“Have you ever been on a date, senpai?”
“I have. So you can leave it to me.”
“That’s very encouraging. I’ve never been on a date.”
“Tachibana, you seem to be popular.”
“I’m a bad communicator.”
Tachibana doesn’t look like that. She is friendly to us and takes the initiative in communicating with us as the head of the department.
“I’m not good with boys.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, I am. I think boys are kind of rough.”
“I don’t think so.”
“It’s an image, isn’t it? I think it’s prejudice.”
“But you don’t like men, and yet you bathe with me?”
“That was for the sake of experience. When it comes to novels, I am unhinged.”
It is true that Tachibana changes drastically when it comes to novels.
“I think it is very important to have experience in love. If you want to be a novelist, you have to be in love.”
“It’s true that it’s easier to write a novel if you’ve been in love before.”
I’m able to write romantic comedies now because of my love affair with Haruka. The body temperature rises when you fall in love. You can’t know that until you’ve experienced it.
“So please cooperate with me.”
“It’s a favor from a cute junior. Leave it to me.”
As a fan of Tachibana, I will support her. I am sure that Tachibana will respond to my request.
