It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Especially when he was helping Mashiro put on her panties, he almost lost control.

Left with no other choice, he could only try to distract himself by talking about something.

"By the way, you don't need to teach me to draw tonight."

"why?"

"After dinner, I have something to do. A friend suddenly asked me for help, so I have to go."

Iura Hide doesn't know why, but he couldn't help but explain one more thing.

Logically speaking, Mashiro, who is emotionless, slow-witted, and naturally naive, shouldn't be curious, right?

"Oh"

Mashiro glanced at him first, then lowered her head and gave a soft reply. She then kept her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

However, just as Iura Hide helped her change her clothes and was about to get up and go back to the kitchen to check if the miso soup was ready, Mashiro suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"I want to read the novels written by Xiu, and I also want to listen to the songs written by Xiu."

It's a very sweet voice, but because it lacks highs and lows, it sounds a bit strange and cold.

However, Iura Hide seemed to detect something different in Mashiro's voice than usual.

"Is it my imagination?"

Iura Hide was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Mashiro had ever said so much in a single sentence since he had known her.

And

"Want to read my novels and listen to my songs?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but confirm it.

"Ah."

Mashiro nodded, her usually flat voice seeming to increase slightly in volume.

This made Iura Hide even more surprised.

"Isn't Mashiro only interested in Baumkuchen and pineapple buns, and also drawing manga?"

Why would someone suddenly want to read my novels or listen to my songs?

"Could she be..."

Thinking back to the earlier "Welcome back," and Mashiro asking him if he liked it.

A slight ripple stirred within Iura Hide.

Although it lacked the intense heat of a previous raging fire, it still made him involuntarily smile slightly, and his eyes softened.

Perhaps it's just his narcissism and overthinking.

But isn't Mashiro clinging to him like a clingy cat just too cute?!

"Isn't it possible?"

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a while, Mashiro asked again.

Whether it was just his imagination or not, Iura Hide felt that there was a hint of disappointment hidden in Mashiro's seemingly calm voice.

"Of course! However, only the first chapter of the novel has been completed so far, and it may take another half a month to finish writing the whole thing."

Iura Shu barely suppressed the urge to pull Mashiro into his arms and devour her right now. He took out his phone, sent "Kimi ni Todoke" to Mashiro, and then went to his bag on the living room sofa to find a USB drive and copied "April" to Mashiro's computer.

During the process, he also saw the comics drawn by Mashiro, some were hand-drawn, and some were drawn on the computer using a graphics tablet.

Regardless of the type, in terms of the exquisiteness of the characters and the visuals alone, they have reached an impeccable, top-tier level.

However, the art style was still somewhat stuck in the style of 10s shoujo manga, which inevitably seemed a bit outdated to him.

As for the plot

It was a four-panel comic strip on a single page, and each panel looked fine on its own, but when put together, it completely confused him.

"Well!"

"Forget it~"

"Wouldn't that make Mashiro and I complement each other perfectly?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but smile slightly.

On the other side, Mashiro had already put on her headphones and pressed the play button on her phone screen.

As the song began to play, a strange light, a blend of joy and satisfaction, seemed to appear in her eyes, which had been completely devoid of emotion.

Chapter 45 Learned a lot

"I've put the pineapple bun and Baumkuchen in your room, so you don't have to worry about Sengoku finding out and taking them. If you get hungry tonight, you can eat a little, but don't eat too much, okay?"

"Oh"

"Also, after showering at night, put on at least one jacket, as it can still get a bit chilly at night in this season. Also, if you're sleepy, go back to bed and sleep instead of crawling under the table; that's not good for your health."

"I see."

At the entrance of the apartment, after carefully giving instructions, Iura Hide glanced at the time on his phone, resisting the urge to hug Mashiro and pet her a couple more times. He then picked up his schoolbag and two bags of trash, mostly from Chihiro Sengoku, the garbage-generating machine, and left the apartment.

Mashiro, who was standing to the side, originally wanted to give him a hug from behind, just like in the manga she had read before.

However, after realizing that Iura Hide might not like it, she dismissed the idea.

From beginning to end, Iura Hide had no idea that he had missed out on another benefit.

Six forty-five.

Outside the nearest Meisibailai supermarket.

Iura Hide thought that arriving fifteen minutes early was early enough, since in his mind, girls usually liked to be late for dates.

But he forgot that this was a two-dimensional world.

Kitagawa Kaimu, eager to see him as soon as possible, actually waited here quite early.

At this moment, Kitagawa Kaimu had changed out of her school uniform and even touched up her makeup. Wearing a light blue dress, she stood quietly on the street in the night, like a secluded orchid under the moonlight, washing away the glitz and glamour, so beautiful that it made people forget to breathe.

Passersby on the street were all unconsciously drawn to her figure.

Even after walking twenty or thirty meters away, he still couldn't help but keep turning back to look at her.

But perhaps out of self-consciousness and fear of disturbing her beauty, no one around dared to approach her and strike up a conversation.

Until she also saw Hideaki Iura.

Her originally cool and aloof face instantly blossomed into a bright and sweet smile, like fireworks. Her aura of keeping strangers at bay vanished without a trace, as if a lost puppy had seen its owner and couldn't help but run to Iura Hide.

"senior!"

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, no, I'm the one who's too early."

Kitagawa Kaimu shook her head vigorously, looking at the gentle apology in Iura Hide's eyes, and felt both joy and sweetness in her heart.

"Hehe, it wasn't for nothing that I deliberately arrived so early and posed for so long!"

Kitagawa Kaimu thought to herself, and then, under the astonished and envious gazes of many around her, she mustered her courage and took Iura Hide's arm.

That's right, the previous scene was all deliberately designed by Kitagawa Kaimu; it's a little trick unique to girls.

Even if Iura Hide knew, he would only smile and be touched, finding Kitagawa Kaimu even more adorable.

Feeling the weight on his arm, Iura Shu's heart skipped a beat.

It was just a simple, not particularly intimate gesture, with clothes separating them, but looking at that delicate, doll-like face, he couldn't help but feel his heart race and an impulse to pull the girl in his arms surge into his mind.

Kitagawa Kaimu, who had been secretly observing his reaction, couldn't help but feel smug upon seeing it, and at the same time became more confident in her battle plan for tonight.

"Hmph! With my looks and figure, that guy Naiyu actually thinks he can steal my senior away? Don't even dream about it~!"

Subconsciously, Kitagawa Kaimu hugged Iura Hide's arm even tighter.

This caused Iura Hide's body, which had finally relaxed, to tense up again. Feeling the amazing sensation on his arm, his breathing became rapid involuntarily, and even his Dao Heart was about to be overwhelmed.

But this is on the street in front of the supermarket!!!

Because of Kitagawa Kaimu's presence, countless eyes are watching him!

"You must be hungry, right? Let's go buy some groceries!" Iura Hide quickly said, and before he could finish speaking, he pulled Kitagawa Kaimu towards the supermarket.

Kitagawa Kaimu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and managed to suppress her laughter, though a faint blush crept onto her fair cheeks.

"Beef, tofu, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, scallions, carrots, and konjac noodles should be enough."

Because she was indeed a bit hungry, and there was an even more important battle plan to follow, Kitagawa Kaimu didn't drag Iura Hide around the supermarket for too long.

In just about half an hour, I bought all the ingredients and sauces I needed, and left the supermarket carrying two large shopping bags.

"Let me carry it for you!"

Although in Japan, because the concept of splitting the bill (AA) is encouraged, most girls carry their own things.

However, seeing how much effort Kitagawa Kaimu was putting in, Iura Shu couldn't help but reach out and take the shopping bag into his own hands.

Kitagawa Kaimu wasn't surprised by this, because in her memory, Iura Hide was such a gentleman and helpful person.

Of course, Iura Hide is not a pushover; he will refuse without hesitation when necessary, so he is just a supporting character in the anime.

Under the dim streetlights, the two who had been chatting quietly fell silent without saying a word, seemingly enjoying this unique experience they had never had before.

Kitagawa Kaimu would occasionally glance up at Iura Hide, then look down at the two figures on the street, their shadows gradually lengthening and merging together, a sweet smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

About seven or eight minutes later, the two arrived at the apartment building where Kitagawa Kaimu lived.

Because it was dark and the routes were different, Iura Hide didn't notice that this place was actually near the apartment where Sengoku Chihiro lived.

A moment later, as the light switch in the entryway was pressed, the originally dark room suddenly became bright.

The walls covered with anime posters and various anime figurines left Hide Iura, who was wondering why Kitagawa Kaimu hadn't greeted him with "Tadaima" upon entering, completely stunned.
