I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 125 You Smell Like Her Perfume (Happy New Year's Eve!)
Eight o'clock last night.

Yuki Mizuno slowly kept talking about the past with Sakurai Itsuki.

As he spoke, Sakurai Itsuki, who would occasionally answer him, gradually fell silent.

"Ashu?" She called his name softly, but got no response.

He propped himself up, sat up from the bed, and limped slowly to Sakurai Itsuki.

I found that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly on the sofa.

"Really? Am I that boring?"

Yuki Mizuno sighed, but didn't blame him, and turned to look out the window.

The snow seems to have become much lighter.

But Mizuno Yuki thought about it and did not wake him up. Instead, she gently undressed and gently covered him with her pure white cotton coat.

Looking at his face, Yuki Mizuno couldn't help but feel that everything that happened today was like a dream.

She slowly bent down, leaned over, and put her face close to Sakurai Itsuki's face.

After taking a deep breath, he finally shook his head gently, "Since you said not to do this easily again, I'll listen to you."

but
She stood up, stretched out her slender index finger, gently touched her warm lips, and then used that finger to gently touch his cheek.

This way, it’s not considered a foul, right?

He sleeps so soundly!
At night, nine thirty.

"Wow! It's perfect!"

In a high-end apartment in Tokyo, Hane Shion stretched and looked at her masterpiece on the screen.

His face was filled with an excited smile.

Her painting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. In terms of the detail of her paintings, she even feels that she may be able to surpass Sakurai Itsuki!

Although I am still a long way behind him in terms of storytelling, but since he is the one writing the story for me, all I have to do now is to express his story with the best painting!

Even if he saw such a beautiful painting, he would definitely praise me!
Humph~ No matter how delicious Sato Wakaba’s cooking is, can she draw such a beautiful picture?
Hane Shion looked at the calendar and felt that she was finally going to make a comeback.

In less than a month, the game that he drew the pictures for and he was responsible for the script for will be released.

Then the next step is to draw the new comic strip himself, with him as the original author.

Hehe, is this kind of cooperation considered a match made in heaven?
Ah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about!

I'm just saying that we're a good match in comics.

As for other aspects, we will have to wait and see later.

Hane Shion held her face with both hands and smiled foolishly for a while.

Turning to look at the phone.

What are people talking about in the group?

What's Yukiko's latest news?

Ah, Yukiko, I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be news about that guy's facial features.

However, she does sing very well and is a very cute person.

But Hane Shion is not particularly fond of Yukiko.

She had studied music and played the piano before, but comics are still more interesting.

Moreover, only comics can form a unique bond with him.

[The person Yukiko is talking about, could it be Sakurai-san? ]

Looking at the message, Hane Shion, who was originally in a relaxed mood, suddenly frowned and found that something seemed wrong.

He quickly picked up his phone and clicked on Yukiko's updates.

Yukiko: [I really like Teacher Sakurafuji Yoko! ]

This doesn't seem to be a big deal?
Isn't she a big fan of 5 Centimeters per Second?

He also became famous for the song "one more time, one more chance" he wrote.

It's natural to like cherry vine leaves.

Let’s look at the next update.

Yukiko: [I accidentally twisted my ankle today. It hurts so much! But luckily someone was there to take me back to the hotel.]

Hey, wait, it seems like he was the one who sent Yukiko back to the hotel?
Yukiko: "Even in winter, don't let your guard down! If you're looking plump when you meet someone important, it'll be noticeable! Especially if they're carrying you or hugging you."

Hotel, figure? Carry? Hug? Important person?

No, no, no, this could be a joke about the plot of "5 Centimeters per Second"?
Well, that should be it.

Hane Shion quickly opened her phone and clicked on the chat box of the person with the note "Pervert".

After a slight hesitation in the chat box, he quickly found an excuse: [I've finished drawing the cover of the coloring page, do you want to see it?]

That's the good thing about drawing manga together: there are countless reasons to talk to each other. This is also why Hanase Shion feels that as long as the manga is serialized, everything will be fine.

However, after the message was sent today, Hane Shion waited in front of the chat box for more than ten minutes, but the other party did not show that it had been read.

It’s not even 10 o’clock yet, this shouldn’t be happening!
After waiting for another ten minutes, Hane Shion switched to her Twitter account and started a crazy insult, saying "I'm going to rape you"!
But still no reply.

Finally at 10:30.

She reluctantly asked Sato Wakaba: "What is Sakurai doing? I want to ask him about work, but he didn't reply."

At this moment, Sato Wakaba, who was sitting in Sakurai Itsuki's bedroom, hugging her legs and enjoying the air conditioning, looked at the words "work matters" with a dark face.

Sakurai Itsuki had mentioned meeting Yuki previously about [work matters]. Now the snow had stopped, but there was still no sign of him.

I sent him many messages, but they all showed as unread.

She also wanted to know, where was her Ashu? What was he doing?
Of course, the most important thing is that Sato Wakaba has gradually understood everything after watching Yukiko's movements.

After checking all the clues, the answer is almost certain.

Yuki Mizuno is most likely Sakurai Itsuki, the childhood sweetheart whom he hasn't seen for many years.

Now that they meet again, isn't this the most classic kind of sweetheart that falls from the sky in romance comics?

Sato Wakaba scratched her blonde hair frantically, feeling quite annoyed.

"what"

She didn't want to think about the worst outcome.

But in the end I still sent a message to Yukiko. Fortunately, I got her line today using the excuse of being a fan.

When Sato Wakaba saw Mizuno Yuki's reply, her heart skipped a beat.

Yuki Mizuno's reply was simple.

【Oh, Ashu, he has fallen asleep. 】

Time returns to the present.

The doorbell rang again, urging someone to open the door.

Sakurai Itsuki stood up and looked at Mizuno Yuki, who was still lying on the bed behind him, covered with a quilt, with only her head sticking out.

Her long flaxen hair was disheveled and her face was bare-faced.

Even though her face was without makeup and her facial features looked sleepy and confused, she looked even more innocent, just like a girlfriend in middle school.

The point is, that's not the point at all.

Her current appearance was too misleading, as if it was the second day after the incident.

Sakurai Itsuki quickly threw the white cotton coat that had covered him all night to Mizuno Yuki.

"Please put on your clothes."

"Yeah." Yuki Mizuno responded vaguely.

Sakurai Itsuki walked to the front of the house and opened the door.

Sure enough, the hot blonde girl behind the door was standing with her hands on her hips, staring at Sakurai Itsuki with half-closed eyes.

She looked a little haggard, obviously she didn't get a good rest last night.

On the other side, the eldest lady with faint dark circles under her eyes was obviously not sleeping all night.

When Hane Shion saw Sakurai Itsuki open the door, she threw away her usual etiquette as a young lady and stuck her head out to look into the room in a very rude manner.

When he looked up, he saw Yuki Mizuno sitting on the bed, yawning and slowly putting on her coat.

"Ah"

Hane Shion took a deep breath and stood there in a daze.

As a book artist, she has a rich imagination. When she saw such a classic and imaginative scene, she immediately imagined some unacceptable erotic scenes in her mind.

"I came to visit Yukiko. I heard she hurt her foot. So you're here? What a coincidence!"

Sato Wakaba smiled with her eyes narrowed, but the emotion she showed was obviously not joy.

She also noticed Mizuno Yuki's misleading appearance in the house and said with a smile, "Did I disturb you? After all, it's the early morning of your first night!"

"You misunderstood. I accidentally fell asleep on the sofa last night. She and I just have an ordinary relationship."

Looking at the attitudes of the two, Sakurai Itsuki immediately realized that he had been misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.

"It's not an ordinary relationship, right? How can childhood sweethearts have an ordinary relationship?"

Sato Wakaba smiled, then wrinkled her nose slightly and sniffed: "You still smell of her perfume."

And Hane Shion, who was still standing there in a daze and hadn't come back to her senses, was stunned again.

Eh? Childhood sweetheart? What childhood sweetheart?!

How come no one told me about this?
