Then, turning to Kasumigaoka Utaha behind her, who looked confident of victory, she questioned, "I don't know what you've got on Yuta, but I won't allow you to oppress him like this!"

Eriri blushed slightly. She did feel uncomfortable when she saw Kijima Yuta showing some interest. Moreover, she was Yuta's friend, so how could she sit idly by and watch her friend be insulted by Kasumigaoka Utaha?

"Yuta, what's wrong with you? If you're having any problems, I can help you. You've been threatened by Kasumigaoka Utaha."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms: "Sawamura-kun, what's wrong with you? It's one thing for Ethin-kun to mind his own business, but why are you meddling in my junior's affairs?"

"What do you mean by 'meddling'?" Eriri glared. "As Yuta's good friend, how could you let him be threatened by you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the barley tea and took a small sip. "Who said I was threatening my junior? You can ask him if I coerced him. Besides, this is a reward I gave to my junior, okay?"

"Or is it that Sawamura-kun doesn't want to see me and my junior flirting like this..." Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, inwardly dismissing Eriri's words with disdain.

"Ahem, what nonsense are you spouting now!" Eriri blurted out. "And what about you? Why are you bothering Yuta?"

Although she was momentarily speechless after being choked by Kasumigaoka Utaha, she quickly found a point to refute.

Yes, even though Yuta and I have something to do together in the manga.

What about you? Why are you still bothering him so much? Shouldn't you be going to find that guy, Tomoya?

"..."

The three of them sat around in the living room, along with a cat. After Eriri's rebuttal, they all fell into a brief silence. Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and made a curious gesture, "Sawamura-kun... how did you become so smart?"

Chapter 171 Solution

"So what if I'm bothering my junior? He's not your possession." Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly to Eriri.

"You...you...you..." Eriri was so angry at these words that she was almost incoherent. "So he's your property? You want Yuta to do things for you like this, and even massage your feet and legs!"

"Alright, alright, you two." At this point, Kijima Yuta couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but soothe them.

He looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "First of all, senpai, I never said I wanted to be your servant."

"Secondly, Eriri, you should go back to your room first. I'll come in and draw together in a little while." Then he said to Eriri.

After he finished speaking, Eriri's azure eyes widened slightly as she stared at him, as if to ask, "You don't really want to agree to this fat woman in black stockings' unreasonable request, do you?"

Yuta Kijima sighed and waved his hand, "Eri, don't worry, my morals aren't that low. I'll go in right away."

After hearing his assurance, Eriri looked at him suspiciously for a few moments, but considering what she had just experienced, she ultimately chose to believe him.

Then, carrying the bag she was carrying, she returned to the studio.

Yuta Kijima breathed a sigh of relief after Eriri left.

These two always display boundless fighting power whenever they're together, although Eriri always ends up losing.

Seeing the relieved Yuta Kijima, Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at him with amusement and said softly, "What? Does my junior really not want anyone else to be here?"

"If that's what you think, then now it's exactly what you want."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha still had this "the more the merrier" mentality, Kijima Yuta felt a strong urge to complain, but ultimately didn't say anything.

He picked up the cat that was playing on the sofa and put it on Kasumigaoka Utaha's lap. "If you have nothing better to do, then take good care of Mr. Pan. If you really want me to give you a massage, then take off your shoes now."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't recovered from the cat being placed in her arms when she heard Kijima Yuta's words, and her eyes immediately turned dangerous. "It seems that junior is really audacious."

Kijima Yuta wasn't as sharp-tongued as Eriri. Anyone with eyes could see that Kasumigaoka Utaha only said those things because Eriri was there; otherwise, he didn't think his senpai would really be willing to let him help.

I really don't know where to begin criticizing Kasumigaoka Utaha's provocation of Eriri.

If he continues to watch the show, he really doesn't know how Eriri will be teased by her senior.

"If you haven't had enough sleep this morning, you can go to the guest room to catch up on some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's lunchtime," Yuta Kijima continued, pointing to the room next to his, just in case she got lost again.

"I believe you know that you can't possibly complete your light novel research here today. If you want to see what men's lives are like, you're welcome to visit."

After saying that, Kijima Yuta looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with bright eyes. Seeing that her expression was normal and she was unmoved, he knew that she also understood that he had just joked with her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "So, junior, you're abandoning me, your senior, to draw with the flat-faced guy? And it's a manga based on me?"

Yuta Kijima sighed: "So, what kind of materials do you think we can help you gather here, senior?"

As it turns out, he did suggest that his senior revise the light novel according to his ideas, but she only wanted to gather material and write it herself.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stroked the cat and said, "I think you should abandon that flat-chested classmate and come with me to be my servant for a day."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

I glanced back at the slightly trembling door of the studio...

Yuta Kijima smiled slightly: "That might not work."

After all, he had promised Eriri that he would help her draw manga, and it would be really inhuman of him to change his mind now. He's not the kind of person who can't resist beautiful women; Kasumigaoka is not an option.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also noticed the commotion in the studio. She smirked and said sarcastically, "So it turns out you're a tablet addict, no wonder you're so cold to a beauty like me."

"That's not the reason. There's always a proper order to keeping promises, right? Senior wouldn't want me to be a person who breaks their word, would she? If I were, she probably wouldn't want to communicate with me anymore." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kijima Yuta's forehead as he spoke with a serious expression.

You can insult my character, but you can't insult my hobbies.

Although he didn't explicitly control anything, what he actually saw most often was...

“Eh…” Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her fair chin, revealing her snow-white neck, and looked at Kijima Yuta seriously as she said, “Junior, are you really not Sawamura-kun? Oh right, how could I forget about Kato-kun?”

She tapped her head in feigned annoyance, "I should have held a club gathering at my junior's house today."

"..."

Yuta Kijima stared expressionlessly at his senior who was frantically outputting information.

If Hui were here, I think things would be a bit more comfortable. At least the two of you would know to restrain yourselves, and we wouldn't need him to mediate now.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Eriri had already gone inside and that her junior was still like a wooden doll, Kasumigaoka Utaha said directly, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go take a nap first. Junior, you can go find your tablet."

"Sigh~ I never thought that in the end I would be the one abandoned by my junior."

Then she picked up the cat and got up, sighing all the while.

Kijima Yuta: "..."

If you want to catch up on your sleep, fine, but why are you heading to my room? Didn't I already tell you where the guest room is?

However, he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that both of them had been taken care of. As for his senior, let her do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't tear down his house.

After Mikazuki Utaha, with a complicated expression, entered her room, Kijima Yuta turned and walked towards his studio, ignoring the door that wasn't fully closed.

Why is everyone so lacking in self-confidence?

Does he really look like the kind of person who would be willing to be a servant to his senior?

Yuta Kijima shook his head, pushed open the door, and went in to see Eriri sitting at the table meticulously drawing manga.

"Eri, how's your drawing coming along?" Seeing that Eriri was putting on a pretty convincing act, Yuta Kijima suddenly had the urge to tease her.

Chapter 172 The Quiet Senior is Also Cute

Yuta Kijima spoke casually, as if he hadn't noticed Eriri had been eavesdropping by the door.

After hearing Yuta Kijima's question, Eriri showed a hint of panic on her face, but quickly calmed down.

After casually scribbling a few lines on the paper, she looked up at him as if nothing had happened: "I just drew a little bit, what's wrong? Has Kasumigaoka Utaha finally let Yuta go?"

Yuta Kijima nodded and walked over to her, curiously examining the drawings on the table: "Yeah, senpai has finally calmed down and is going to catch up on her sleep now."

"Huh? Is this what you drew, Eriri?" He picked up the drawing, which was covered with messy lines, like a kindergarten child's random work.

"Are you planning to add some Cthulhu elements to it, Eriri?" Yuta Kijima said meaningfully, stroking his chin.

Eriri bit her cherry lips, her pretty face slightly flushed. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to explain herself. Did she really have to admit that she had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation through the crack in the door as soon as she entered?

"Hmm... I'm thinking about whether to expand into some areas I'm good at." She raised her chin, forcing herself to speak, "Recently, tentacle-themed series have been quite popular..."

Yuta Kijima stared blankly, then turned to look at Eriri seriously, his face full of surprise, and said in a strange tone, "You're not going to add a mutation plot to the male protagonist in the work, are you?"

Although it sounds incredibly novel, it was actually created based on my own prototype, which was truly amazing.

"..."

Eriri froze for a moment, feeling even more annoyed. She had been led astray by Yuta's opening remark. Looking at the teasing expression on Yuta's face, Eriri felt a surge of shame. A blush spread from her ears to her cheeks, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yuta!!"

"Don't go too far!"

Although I did eavesdrop on your conversation, it was to prevent that shady woman from doing anything coercive. It was all for you!

And now you're deliberately teasing me like this? Thinking about it, Eriri felt wronged.

"I'm sorry." Seeing that Eriri seemed to be getting angry with him, Kijima Yuta apologized directly without any hesitation: "It was my fault."

"What did you do wrong?!"

"I shouldn't have teased you, Eriri..."

"Yuta!"

Eriri's pretty face hardened, but her mood improved considerably after hearing Yuta Kijima's direct apology. She pretended to be reserved and began to question him, but she still felt ashamed when she heard him speak so bluntly.

Yuta Kijima smiled helplessly. "Alright, let's get started."

Eriri glared at him defiantly, but stopped teasing him. She crumpled up the "Cthulhu" manuscript she had just seen and threw it in the trash, then handed him a new original manuscript that she had rushed to finish the night before.

Seeing that Yuta Kijima quickly got into work mode, Eriri hesitated for a moment, then asked with some concern, "Yuta?"

"Hmm?" Yuta Kijima was about to get into the flow when Eriri asked him this question so suddenly that he was taken aback.

Eriri's expression was complicated. "Why did you listen to Kasumigaoka Utaha? Is it because you need something from her?"

"nothing……"

"Hmm..." Seeing that Yuta Kijima seemed to have something he was having trouble saying, Eriri continued, "If you need any help, Yuta, you can tell me. There's no need to go to that shady woman; she'll only exploit you..."

"It's really nothing... It's just that my senior happens to have some problems with her light novel, and I happen to be able to help her a little." Kijima Yuta smiled and said, "As for why my senior said that, Eriri, you know her personality."

Eriri looked intently at Yuta Kijima with her bright blue eyes. After a while, she looked away and said, "Okay, but Yuta, if you ever have any difficulties, you must tell me. After all, we're good friends."

"Ok."

Yuta Kijima smiled and nodded.

He felt heartened by Eriri's actions, but he thought it best not to let more people know about Nishimiya Shoko, to prevent any further problems from arising.

At the same time, the treatment of glass was put on the agenda.

I should find an opportunity to discuss the next steps with Yuzuru.
