I'll kill you after I finish this game!

But for a model who is truly fair-skinned, the thought of having her portrait painted and hung in a public place makes her blush with embarrassment.

Although it was an honor to be used as a model by a world-class painter, Yukino, who was shy and narcissistic, couldn't stand that kind of treatment.

"...Um, thank you for the compliment, Shiina-kun, but I have no intention of becoming a model, so..."

Ultimately, Yukino Yukinoshita, feeling shy, politely declined Mashiro's request; if it continued, she might really embarrass herself.

Seeing that Mashiro was a little disappointed, Rai Zhe smiled and comforted her, saying, "You and Yukinoshita have only met for the first time. Once you get to know each other better, she definitely won't refuse your request."

"Let me draw the comic you want first."

Hearing this, Mashiro was no longer disappointed, since her main goal was to have Raize teach her how to draw comics that people found interesting.

Shiina Mashiro is eagerly anticipating achieving great success in manga.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Raiji helping her find the steps down.

To be honest, just the first time she met Shiina Mashiro and talked to her, Yukinoshita felt extremely uncomfortable and unskilled in dealing with Mashiro.

Mashiro's sincerity and directness made her somewhat uncomfortable, and she couldn't communicate with Mashiro in the usual way.

Yukino doesn't dislike Mashiro; on the contrary, she felt quite fond of the girl during their conversation, and Yukino admires her excellence.

To have achieved world-class level accomplishments at this age is something that one can only look up to in awe of one's peers.

However, when Yukinoshita saw Mashiro and Raiji together, with Raiji saying something and Mashiro listening intently.

Looking back now, Mashiro's talent is so remarkable. Shouldn't she be in the art club? How did she end up here?

She's the head of the Service Club, and Raiji is the head of the Game Club; they have absolutely nothing to do with the Art Club.

"Excuse me, Yotsuki-san, may I ask what Shiina-san is doing with you?"

Driven by her growing curiosity, Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask Raiji what was going on.

Looking at Shiina Mashiro, he seemed like a humble student, while Raize was like a teacher instructing him.

That's strange. With Shiina Mashiro's talent, what ability does Raize have to teach her?

"Shiina came to Japan wanting to draw manga, and I'm helping Shiina fill in the gaps in her manga."

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita's sudden question, Raiji didn't hide anything and directly told her the reason.

Upon hearing Raiji's words, Yukinoshita stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the dazed-looking Mashiro.

Yukino Yukinoshita was genuinely astonished that a world-renowned artist had come to Japan to draw manga, and that Raize was helping her fill in the gaps in her manga!

Reiji noticed something on Yukinoshita's face, greeted Mashiro, and then handed Yukinoshita the manga that had been rejected and placed on the table.

"Incredible, isn't it? But it's true. This world-class genius is now very interested in comics, which is why she came to Japan. However, her comics have many flaws, you'll see when you read them."

Unaware of what was going on, Yukino took the manga that Raiji handed her and began to read it carefully. It appeared to be a shoujo romance manga.

Turn the page...

Yes, the exquisite art style greatly impressed Yukino Yukinoshita, who secretly admired the artist's profound skill, as the artist was indeed a world-class painter.

Turn the page...

After the initial shock and surprise, Yukinoshita began to seriously read Mashiro's manga, wanting to properly appreciate the work of a world-class artist, but... why does it feel more and more strange?

Page turn, page turn, page turn...

Beneath the increasingly rapid snowfall, his handsome brows furrowed, becoming more and more tightly furrowed at a visible speed.

After quickly flipping through the stack of drawings, she looked up at Mashiro, who was looking at her with a complicated and hesitant expression, as if waiting for Yukino to share her thoughts.

Yukinoshita wanted to say it, but she didn't want to hurt Mashiro's feelings, so she looked hesitant.

"Alright, stop holding it in. You probably already know about Shiina's flaws in her manga. Her art style and quality are fine, but her manga is just not interesting at all."

Mashiro lowered her head in disappointment after hearing this. Although she knew the flaws in her own manga, hearing it again still made her feel quite bad.

Seeing Mashiro lower her head in disappointment, Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Raiji fiercely. "You know, you know, can't you be a little more tactful?!"

Although I was very dissatisfied with Raiji's directness, what he said was indeed true: Mashiro's manga was exquisite, but it was not interesting at all.

The plot is like a diary entry, the relationships between the characters are disjointed, the female protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist at the beginning without any reason or process, and the female protagonist is always depicted with a blank expression.

This is the defect that Lei Zhe was referring to.

Seeing that Mashiro looked a little disappointed, Raize couldn't bear it and went over to her, gently patting her head and saying comfortingly, "Don't worry, I guarantee your new manga will be a success."

Feeling the warm touch on her head, the pet girl tilted her head back, squinted slightly at Lei Zhe's gentle smiling face, and softly hummed in agreement. She was also looking forward to the comic she was about to draw.

After comforting the dejected little pet, Raiji turned to Yukino Yukinoshita and said with a smile, "I can make up for the flaws in Shiina's manga, which is why she came to my side."

"you......"

Yukino Yukinoshita was about to say something when she remembered the two games created by Raiji: Devil May Cry and Sekiro. These two games were not only very fun, but also had very strong and attractive storylines.

Yukino Yukinoshita secretly bought a game in her apartment and spent a long time playing it. She completed both endings of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: Return to Mortal and Return of the Dragon.

Every ending left a deep impression on her; in terms of story creation, Raiji certainly had the ability to help Mashiro.

She finally understood why the two of them had gotten together.

Raiji and Mashiro began to talk to each other, and Yukino Yukinoshita did not disturb them anymore.

Raiji wanted to modify and tweak the story of "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" and have Mashiro draw it herself.

After all, Mashiro knows herself well, so wouldn't it be wonderful to make her the heroine of the manga?

I truly draw myself!

When Mashiro understood what Reiji meant, her eyes lit up. Ayano Iida had also told her to try using things around her as the content of her stories.

She had tried it, but it was just a mundane account. Now that Raiji has suggested using herself as the female lead to structure the story, Mashiro's mind is starting to stir.

Inspired, Mashiro immediately began drawing manga designs, while Raiji simply offered suggestions and hints.

The characters are: Ayano Iida, the editor; Chihiro Sengoku, the unreliable and older single woman; Mashiro, the owner of the pet in the Kingdom of Yeh; and Rita.

As for Shiina Mashiro herself, I believe this girl should know her place... right?

With Raiji's prompting, Mashiro became more and more enthusiastic about drawing, but she had no idea how to draw her own character design.

"Shiina-kun, please design your character based on your actual situation, okay? Your figure is obviously too plump, and you're not the kind of person who takes good care of yourself. Don't forget who the pet girl is."

Rai Zhe's twitching eye made Mashiro temporarily stop writing. Goodness, you've already let loose after just a short while without any prompting?

Mashiro looked at the character design that Raize had taken away with a somewhat conflicted expression, and asked uncertainly, "Couldn't it be Pet Boy?"

Lei Zhe stared blankly at another male protagonist design for Mashiro. Didn't that face look a little too much like his?

Yes, now his expressionless face makes him look even more like one!

He also saw through Mashiro's 'wolfish ambition'—that she wanted to take over the role in the manga—so he had to remind her: "Shiina, the public still prefers pretty girls; that will make your manga more attractive."

As he spoke, Rai Zhe picked up his pen and drew a character design for 'Pet Girl Mashiro' in Mashiro's sight.

Her expression and face were exactly the same as hers, and the other person's character profile was written in large letters next to it.

She has a gentle personality, is naturally naive and lacks common sense, is slow to react to the outside world, lacks common sense, needs to be taken care of, has a thought process that is very different from ordinary people, and likes to eat Baumkuchen and pineapple buns.

As for the other character design of the male lead, he didn't draw his own version either. He didn't completely copy the original work, but changed his appearance and modified the character design a bit.

After all, Souta's outburst of anger towards Mashiro in the original work drew some criticism from Raiji. Although he understood Mashiro's difficulties, he still did not forgive her actions.

However, after looking at her own character design, Mashiro felt a bit strange, but she didn't say anything to object. She carefully looked at her character design, which showed that she liked to eat Baumkuchen and pineapple buns, and nodded with satisfaction.

"No...no!"

Mashiro looked very serious, pointed at the character design drawn by Raiji to express her disapproval, and then picked up her own drawing that looked exactly like Raiji. It was obviously a two-dimensional portrait of Raiji. The girl pointed at it in front of the real Raiji and said, "I want this one!"

"Well... okay, but I'll change your character design for you!"

Lei Zhe paused, looking at Zhen Shiro's serious expression, he couldn't persuade her to rewrite her image, but the persona she had created needed to be changed!

Otherwise, if the Mashiro manga becomes popular and people find out that the character is based on a real person, who knows what might happen if they block the door.

Mashiro did not refuse Rai Zhe's suggestion and allowed Rai Zhe to make changes to the character design. After the changes were completed, she looked at them carefully.

Then, amidst the twitching expression on Raiji's lips, a whole bunch of character settings were added, including "Mashiro's owner," "makes delicious bento boxes for Mashiro," "Mashiro's assistant in the manga," and "Mashiro..." which made Raiji inwardly roar.

This is probably your ideal image of me, right? Do you really want me to be your nanny?!

Seeing that the other party was about to continue adding to it, Lei Zhe couldn't stand it any longer and directly stopped them, saying, "If you keep adding to it, it will collapse. Don't add any more!"

Upon hearing this, Mashiro looked up and carefully examined Rai Tetsuo, whose expression seemed off. She noticed a faint "danger" appearing in Rai Tetsuo's eyes. Then, she looked down and added a caption to the character design: "A very shy big boy!"

"I'm not shy at all!!!"

Lei Zhe growled in a low voice, unable to bear it any longer.

Today's direct interaction with Mashiro allowed Rai Zhe to personally experience the profound skill of Mashiro.

P.S.: Please vote, please recommend, please even offer harsh criticism.

Chapter 54 Confirmation of the Creation of the Day of Divine Wrath

Seeing Mashiro engrossed in her own world, Raize pressed his throbbing temples and took out his phone to check on the progress of his novel.

If he gains enough popularity, he should start working on creating a game with strong potential and a compelling world-building. After all, the novel is just a tool to generate buzz and attention for his game, and he's quite serious about that.

Opening his official Weibo account, verified as a novel author, Lei Zhe hadn't paid much attention to it recently, leaving it to his enthusiastic editor, Hiiragi Suzuna, to manage.

Now, if you open the author's official website, the number of followers is approaching one million. Considering Hiiragi Suzuna's methods, the fact that she has gained this much popularity in such a short time is astonishing.

The popularity of Divine Throne and Warhammer is comparable. Looking at the comments and fan information left on Warhammer, some of the fans are adults who have entered the workforce, and the other part are high school students.

The plot of Warhammer is almost always very depressing, but Rezel masterfully manages to maintain that depressing atmosphere, making it incredibly compelling and keeping viewers wanting to keep watching.

It unflinchingly reveals the true nature of humanity, how humans should deal with unstoppable natural disasters, and what an alien invasion scenario would look like.

Each thought-provoking yet immersive description captivates the reader, making it impossible to put the book down.

Despair and astonishment have become the standard flavor of Warhammer; once you get used to it, you can't escape it.

This is how it spread on the forum.

The fans of Kamukura Banshou are almost all from the anime, comics, and games (ACG) community, and their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) remarks are numerous.

Of course, some show-offs really like famous quotes from Warhammer and even post them on the Throne forum to attract attention for their Warhammer game.

[Fairy]: "Hmph, of all things on the Divine Throne, I only acknowledge the dualistic true self of good and evil from the first day. The majesty of the first generation of gods on the throne is inviolable!!!"
