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

"I also want!"

""

Seeing Kitagawa Kaimu's open mouth, looking expectantly waiting to be fed, Iura Shu's lips twitched, and he almost choked on his own saliva.

Please! Even couples in a relationship would feel embarrassed to feed each other, right?

"Help yourself if you want some."

"But the ones I picked myself didn't taste as good as the ones my seniors fed me!"

""

Despite saying flirtatious things, Kitagawa Haimu's eyes, full of smiles and anticipation, remained clean and pure, revealing a childlike innocence.

When the two are combined, they produce a monstrous effect that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

This caused Iura Hide's heart to skip a beat, and his already unstable Dao heart instantly collapsed once again.

"There's really nothing I can do about you"

While muttering to himself, Iura Hide still managed to suppress his nervousness and shame as he picked up a piece of beef that smelled tempting, coated it in egg, and fed it to Kitagawa Kaimu.

"Aww!"

The rolled-up piece of beef wasn't large, but it wasn't small either.

After taking a bite, Kitagawa Haimu's delicate cheeks puffed up like a little hamster eating, making her look even cuter.

"If you're going to eat, please don't make those noises!"

Iura Hide couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath and looked away.

Of course, he didn't really dislike Kitagawa Kaimu. He was just worried that if things continued like this, he might really fall completely for her and agree to date her.

Even without considering the existence of Shinna Gojo, there are still many aspects of Kitagawa Kaimu that make him really conflicted!

He sighed inwardly. From then until the end of dinner, Iura Shu spent his time in a state of both torment and enjoyment at being constantly flirted with.

That's right, it was both agonizing and enjoyable.

"Senior, are you sure you don't need my help?"

"No need, I can handle washing the dishes by myself."

"I'm going to change my clothes now~"

He only relaxed after he took the used dishes back to the kitchen to wash them, and Kitagawa Kaimu went back to the bedroom to prepare the clothes and props needed for the upcoming photoshoot.

"If Mashiro and Kotori confessed to me like that, would I still be so conflicted?"

As Iura Hide washed the dishes, he thought of Mashiro and Kotori.

Although Mashiro's self-care ability is ridiculously poor, she needs someone to take care of her in everything.

But think about it from another perspective: do people who like to keep pets, especially those who keep several dogs, a dozen cats, or even Siberian Huskies, find it troublesome to take care of them?

Obviously not. Even with a husky, a pet that's known for destroying things, people might just beat it up when they're really angry, but they wouldn't abandon it, would they?

In comparison, Mashiro is much prettier and cuter than the average pet, and also much more obedient and well-behaved.

Taking care of Mashiro is practically a perk for any straight guy!

Moreover, it's not like there's no way to improve self-care skills.

Therefore, the only thing you need to do to date Mashiro is to make her understand what it means to like someone and to genuinely like her.

Little Loneliness, on the other hand, has it much easier.

At least in his opinion, social anxiety is not a bad thing. Coupled with Kotori's good looks, which are no less than those of Hori Kyoko and Mashiro, it actually makes her seem quite cute.

"So if it were Mashiro or Kotori who confessed to me first, I probably wouldn't hesitate and would just say yes, right?"

Well, he's probably still conflicted, since he can't bear to part with Kitagawa Kaimu's looks either.

With a wry smile, Iura Hide dried the washed dishes and chopsticks and neatly arranged them in the cupboard.

Just then, Kitagawa Kaimu changed her clothes and came out of the room with her camera.

"senior!"

Iura Hide instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, and then froze in shock.

Please recommend, please continue reading, please vote with monthly tickets.

Chapter 48 If even photo editing can't save it

"What, are you surprised, senior?"

Kitagawa Kaimu twirled around with a grin, her skirt billowing, blending with her flowing black Hime-style hair, like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming under the moonlight, pure and ethereal.

Of course, it would be even better if you changed to a cool or serene expression.

Iura Hide nodded subconsciously, then snapped out of it and awkwardly avoided her gaze.

Yes, Kitagawa Kaimu's outfit was indeed beyond his expectations.

It wasn't the erotic nurse outfit, maid outfit, or little devil outfit he had originally envisioned, but rather a shrine maiden outfit that differed from traditional styles and was somewhat similar to Reimu Hakurei's.

The two are almost identical, the only difference being that Kitagawa Kaimu doesn't have Hakurei Reimu's signature big red bow hair accessory.

Otherwise, he would have thought that Kitagawa Kaimu was cosplaying as Hakurei Reimu.

"She's one of the heroines in the new GL game 'Attack on Idol Girls' released this month, and she's not some kind of erotic character."

Kitagawa Kaimu chuckled, introducing the game and the character as he walked over and shoved the camera into his hand.

At the same time, Hideaki Iura also realized what was happening.

It's true that Kitagawa Kaimu likes adult anime and games, but if she's just producing artwork for work, it doesn't necessarily mean she'll be producing those kinds of fan service images.

Thinking of this, Iura Hide breathed a sigh of relief, but a little disappointment suddenly welled up inside him.

He had originally thought there would be some perks tonight.

“But this is okay”

While listening absentmindedly to Kitagawa Kaimu's explanation of how to use the camera, Iura Hide followed her to another room that had been specially set aside for taking pictures.

"That works, senior, please give it a try."

"Ah."

Hideaki Iura nodded, picked up his camera, and aimed it at Kaimu Kitagawa, who was already positioned in front of the lighting panel.

Then, just as he had expected, as a novice, he didn't need to think about composition or anything like that, and he had no control over lighting, angles, or exposure.

It took him almost twenty minutes and he took about fifty or sixty photos. Only at the end, with Kitagawa Kaimu's guidance, did he manage to take two or three photos that were barely acceptable.

This is only because Kitagawa Kaimu is photogenic enough.

"It's already great!"

Kitagawa Kaimu encouraged him earnestly.

However, Iura Hide had no intention of becoming a photographer, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Forget it, I have some self-awareness. I'd rather be a photographer than a photographer," Iura Hide said with a shrug.

However, before she could finish speaking, Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

"Eh? You want to be a senior too?"

"Uh"

Iura Hide wanted to say that he was just joking, that going to a comic convention to see those girls was fine, but that he would still feel a little ashamed to do it himself.

But then he realized that this was a two-dimensional world.

If you were moved by something in your past life but lacked the courage to act on it, why don't you dare to try it now?

Since we've already traveled through time, it probably doesn't hurt to have some fun, right?

Thinking of this, Iura Hide unconsciously turned his head to look at the mirror next to him.

With looks like that and that head of white hair, she wouldn't even need a wig to cosplay Gojo Satoru, Kaneki Ken, or Kakashi!

"I'm not a professional; I just do it for fun in my spare time," said Hideki Iura, revealing his true thoughts.

However, this was already a pleasant surprise for Kitagawa Kaimu. After all, if Iura Hideya played, wouldn't the two of them have more in common?

"Does the senior have a favorite character they want to cosplay?" Kitagawa Haimu asked curiously.

"not yet."

Hideaki Iura didn't say that what he actually wanted to cosplay was a character he would create in the future.

"Then let me recommend one to you, senior!"

As she spoke, Kitagawa Kaimu rushed back to her room and, to Iura Hide's utter dismay, retrieved her favorite adult video, "Slippery Second Generation Girl".

As a super popular harem-style eroge, this 'Slippery Second Generation Girl' features a cast of girls with different looks and personalities, in addition to the useless male protagonist.

If Kitagawa Kaimu isn't going to be dressed as a woman, then the only character he can cosplay is the male protagonist.

"This is it--"

"I knew it!"

Iura Hide sighed and rubbed his forehead, then decisively changed the subject.

"Hey, didn't you need to change into three more outfits? It's already ten o'clock, hurry up and go change!"

Before she could even open her mouth to promote it, Kitagawa Kaimu was shut down, and her cheeks puffed up in anger, just like an angry pufferfish.

However, thinking about her upcoming battle plan, she finally obediently put down the little butter in her hand and went back to her room to change her clothes.

A moment later, Kitagawa Kaimu returned to the front of the lighting panel, now dressed in a well-fitting light green dress and a large sun hat.

Coupled with her already graceful figure, she resembled a four-leaf clover covered in morning dew; simply standing there, a refreshing and pleasant aura wafted over.

Iura Hide unconsciously took a deep breath and picked up the camera again.

Perhaps because he already had some experience, this time he only took less than ten minutes to take a few barely passable photos.
