Chapter 83 Natsume Mio Arrives

What foot fetish?! I'm not a foot fetishist!
Mikazuki Haruna said, "I just dreamed about these scenes and then drew them. If you're talking about foot fetish, it's not me, it's Bensaiten-sama who appeared to me in a dream."

“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with this. Everyone likes to watch it. Don’t stop drawing because of what I said,” Ken Sakamoto said.

"I won't be affected by you. Besides, the serialization has only just begun. I will surpass you," Mikazuki Haruna said.

“That’s very ambitious, but I won’t show any mercy,” Kenjiro Sakamoto said.

Mikazuki Haruna didn't respond to that sentence, but silently watched Sakamoto Ken, her gaze lingering on his face for a long time.

“Speaking of which…” Mikazuki Haruna hesitated slightly, considering her words before continuing, “Have we met before the day of the live stream?”

"I've met him." Ken Sakamoto nodded firmly.

"Huh?" Haruna Mikazuki asked quickly, "Actually, you remember me, right?"

This guy is just like Natsume Mio.

Ken Sakamoto has figured out what that "dream" is through Mio Natsume's explanation.

He has complete memories of last week's events, while they only have partial memories of him.

Because the memories were incomplete, they mistook it for some kind of dream.

Ken Sakamoto shook his head and said, "That day I went to the editorial department to discuss the manuscript with Editor Kaji. I saw you when I came out, but I didn't recognize you at the time."

“That day…” Mikazuki Haruna realized that Sakamoto Ken’s understanding was a little different from hers, and she was somewhat disappointed. She thought back for a moment and said, “So it really was you that day. I thought I was seeing things.”

"You know me?" Ken Sakamoto asked in return.

Before she could answer, Sakamoto Ken chuckled and said jokingly, "Could it be that it was also a dream from Lord Benzaiten? He saw me in his dream? Then he'll be my dream lover."

Haruna Mikazuki wanted to deny it, but she swallowed the words back.

She had always thought that Ken Sakamoto was her "dream lover," but she could only think about it in her own mind; she couldn't just say it to his face!
After all, it has always been just me having all sorts of thoughts about him.

However, those images are ingrained in my memory, and they are no different from what actually happened.

Looking at Ken Sakamoto in front of me, the scenes of my time with him naturally come to mind.

Especially ten days ago at noon, I dreamed that I did that kind of thing with him while I was taking a nap.

Unfortunately, she had just begun to insist that he do it again when she was woken up by Forty-One...

Although I dreamt of those scenes again at night, none of them felt as real as they did that noon.

Thinking back to a little over a month ago, when she had just woken up from her afternoon nap, she simply dismissed everything she saw in her dream as her own wild imaginings, genuinely believing that Lord Bensaiten had sent her a dream with a comic book, asking her to create it.

It wasn't until I saw Ken Sakamoto in real life that I was certain that his face was exactly the same as the one in my memory.

This guy, even the way he keeps staring at my legs, is exactly the same as I remember...

When I visited his home today, he even brought out his sketchbook filled with manga concept art.

It's quite obvious that the manga "Young Lady, Sniper Rifle, and Pantyhose!" is his work.

However, his future works are currently only in the creative stage.

As it turned out, I snatched it away!

Fortunately, he didn't draw the main content, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use the excuse of "coincidentally copying" anymore; that would be plagiarism.

In fact, Haruna Mikazuki has very complicated feelings.

On the one hand, they feel that the person opposite them is their closest person.

On the other hand, he doesn't seem to have these memories.

But most importantly, in that memory, I killed him... Although I was only one of the three murderers, I did draw my knife and personally experienced the resistance of the blade piercing my body.

Thankfully, in reality it's just me and A-Jian; there aren't two other random women...

……

"Boom boom boom!"

Footsteps came from the apartment building's staircase; the wooden building's soundproofing was poor, and the sounds were very clear.

Mikazuki Haruna didn't pay attention, but she saw Sakamoto Ken suddenly turn his head to look at the doorway, his ears perked up.

"Why is she..."

Sakamoto Ken opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Haruna right next to him, he swallowed his words.

He got up and went straight to the door.

He was very familiar with the footsteps outside just now, or rather, he was very familiar with their footsteps.

Haruna's steps are rather loose and leisurely, and rather light. After her heel lands, her soles gently follow, and even though she is wearing hard-soled shoes, she doesn't make much noise.

Mio, on the other hand, was much more hurried, taking each step very firmly. This was partly due to her kendo training; she always came and went in a hurry, especially when she wasn't wearing shoes, her feet would make a "pat-pat" sound as they hit the ground.

As for Ai, her footsteps are the lightest, not in the leisurely way that Haruna does, but like a cat walking lightly. When she's barefoot, you can't hear a sound at all, and she often ambushes you from behind.

The series of footsteps we are hearing now must be coming from Natsume Mio.

It's Wednesday today. Aren't you supposed to be filming at the office? You don't have to go to the convenience store, so what are you doing at my house?!

And they don't even notify you on LINE beforehand.

Are you trying to surprise me?

Haruna Mikazuki also sensed that something was wrong, so she straightened up and, holding onto the table, prepared to get up.

Mio Natsume walked quickly, her footsteps already reaching the corridor, stopping a few seconds later in front of the door.

"Boom!"

There was a light knock on the door twice.

Sakamoto Ken was a few steps away from the door when he looked back and saw that he was alone with a girl when another person suddenly appeared... a scene that was all too familiar.

"Boom!"

There was another knock on the door.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this isn't the last time around..." Sakamoto Ken thought to himself.

He didn't have any close relationship with them, so what if Natsume Mio saw him and Mikazuki Haruna in the room?
Even if they were just in the same room, or even if they were naked and doing intimate things, what could she say?

How about I include you in the group?
Sakamoto Ken's subconscious reaction just now was entirely due to the psychological trauma from last week's game.

For a moment, his heart raced and his blood pressure spiked.

Of course, it only lasted for a fleeting moment.

Seeing Sakamoto Ken standing there hesitating, Mikazuki Haruna walked towards the door with some confusion and asked, "Who's knocking on the door? Aren't you going to open it?"

Ken Sakamoto took a deep breath, composed himself, and instead of answering her question, walked directly to the door.

Grasp the doorknob and open the door.
