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

It's so great to finally be able to handle Sugaya Nowa!

Sugaya Noi glared at her angrily, then turned to look at Iura Hide, her hands and feet stiff with nervousness.

"Are you really going?"

Sugaya Noi couldn't help but ask again, her pitiful appearance was so funny it was almost laughable, no, it was heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see.

However, this time, Takasago Chie didn't even need to say a word; she just took a step forward, and Takasago Chie quickly begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll go right now!"

Taking a deep breath, Sugaya Noi forced herself to walk towards Iura Hide. Because her limbs were so stiff, she looked like a cheap robot, which made Takasago Chie laugh so hard her stomach hurt.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! Naiyu's finally gotten himself into this mess!"

But despite the laughter, as a good friend, she certainly wouldn't stand by and watch Sugaya Noi embarrass herself in front of the person she liked, so she quickly caught up with Sugaya Noi and took her hand.

It must be said that this small, thoughtful gesture really made Sugaya Noha relax a lot, at least she no longer walked with her arms and legs moving in unison.

Chapter 90: Is it a case of duplicate names?

"I-Iura-senpai!"

The dimly lit environment, resembling a bar, coupled with the fact that Iura Hide's thoughts and gaze were always on Hoshino Ai, meant that he didn't notice Sugaya Noi until she called out to him.

Her black twin ponytails were dyed dark red on the inside, and her small, delicate face had a pair of big, black pearl-like eyes that made her look very playful and cute.

With the title "Senior Iura," Iura Hide recognized her almost immediately.

"Are you Naiyu, junior?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but show a surprised expression, never expecting to meet Sugaya Nowa here.

Sugaya Noi, who was initially extremely nervous, was pleasantly surprised. She was equally surprised that Iura Hide could recognize her at a glance.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into my senior here."

As Sugaya Noi spoke, a sweet smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

However, though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Iura Hide suddenly remembered that Sugaya Noa had invited him to a performance earlier, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Sugaya Nowa actually relaxed.

"Senior, is this your sister?"

Sugaya Noi turned to look at Hoshino Ai, and at the same time, Hoshino Ai was also looking at her.

"Yes, this is my younger sister, Hoshino Ai. We're planning to form a band, so we brought her here today to hear her perform live."

Iura Hide's explanation surprised Sugaya Nowa slightly.

"Hoshino? Are they cousins? No wonder they don't look alike." Sugaya Noha thought to herself, but didn't ask, otherwise it would be a bit impolite.

"This is Chie Takasago, my junior high school classmate. She's currently a first-year high school student at Shimokitazawa High School," Sugaya Nowa then introduced Chie Takasago to Iura Hide.

However, Iura Hide couldn't help but pause for a moment after hearing the name.

"Takasago Chie? That's not her."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who had long, smooth black hair and big blue eyes, and who looked very well-behaved and cute, but whose eyes also had a hint of lively light, Iura Shu felt a sense of familiarity wash over him.

Then, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, thinking of Kagurazaka Ayame, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"No way! This world actually incorporates elements of Eromanga Sensei!?"

Now he finally understood why the name Kagurazaka Ayame had seemed familiar to him: Kagurazaka Ayame was the editor in charge of Izumi Masamune, the male protagonist of the anime "Eromanga Sensei".

Chie Takasago is one of the female supporting characters in "Eromanga Sensei". As the male protagonist's classmate, she, like several other female supporting characters, has always secretly harbored feelings for the male protagonist.

If it were just a matter of having the same name, that would be fine, since having the same name isn't uncommon even in crossover anime worlds.

But since they look exactly the same and have the same features, they must be the same person.

Thinking of this, Iura Hide suddenly became excited.

After all, who can resist the adorable Sagiri?

"Wait a minute, I think I have a girlfriend?"

"Um"

"Let's first confirm whether Izumi Sagiri and Izumi Masamune actually exist!"

"Is there a boy in your class named Izumi Masamune?" Iura Hide asked, trying to suppress his excitement and pretending to be calm.

"no."

Takasago Chie's answer caused Iura Hide's pupils to shrink and his fists to clench instinctively.

"Maybe I remembered it wrong."

Since he hadn't found Kanda Sorata, Mitaka Jin, or even Suimei University of Arts when he checked the club register, Izumi Masamune's absence didn't surprise him too much.

But if Izumi Masamune doesn't exist, then what about Izumi Sagiri? Does she not exist either?

The band that was supposed to warm up the crowd had already come on stage and started performing. Out of politeness, the group stopped chatting. However, while Iura Hide's eyes were on the stage, his mind was already wandering off somewhere else.

How can I confirm whether Sagiri exists?

"The name of Sagiri School seems to have been mentioned in the anime, but I don't remember it. Also, the name of the school might change in a crossover anime world."

"But if Sagiri exists, shouldn't it be possible to find 'Eromanga Sensei' online?"

Thinking of this, Iura Hide couldn't help but secretly take out his phone and start searching online.

A moment later, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Great! We were able to find Eromanga Sensei!"

To confirm whether it was a case of the same name, Iura Hide followed the information he found and located Eromanga Sensei's personal profile on a long video platform. After checking her personal works and discovering that they were all erotic illustrations, he felt much more at ease.

"While most people with names like 'Eromanga Sensei' would draw these kinds of lewd illustrations, it's unlikely that it's such a coincidence that both Takasago Chie and Kagurazaka Ayame exist."

Iura Hide muttered to himself, but as he flipped through the pages, his fingers suddenly paused, realizing something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, why hasn't Eromanga Sensei's homepage been updated for five or six years?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but blink, checking the release date below the work again. He confirmed it was indeed six years ago, and was momentarily stunned.

If he remembers correctly, Izumi Sagiri was only twelve years old when she appeared in the main story. If we go back six years, wouldn't she have started releasing works before she was even six years old?

"Sagiri probably hadn't started learning to draw when she was six years old, right?"

"Even if she really learned to draw illustrations at the age of six, and could draw these kinds of risqué illustrations so well, it seems impossible for her to register an account on the platform, right?"

"Damn it! Could it really be a case of the same name?"

Although I'm a little reluctant to accept it, after this deduction, it seems that this Eromanga teacher really is just a case of having the same name.

Because he was completely focused on the reasoning, he didn't notice that Sugaya Noiwa's wide, round eyes were flashing with a strange light, otherwise he would have been even more annoyed.

Let's rewind to one minute ago.

Although the performance on stage was quite impressive, it was as if Hideki Iura possessed a magical attraction that always made Noha Sugaya steal glances at him.

So she noticed it the moment Iura Hide took out his phone.

At first, she thought it was just someone sending a message to Iura Hide, and out of politeness, she certainly wouldn't peek at her phone screen.

However, Iura Hide kept holding his phone, his fingers constantly swiping.

Most importantly, after she had been peeking for a while, she eventually (really accidentally) caught a glimpse of the screen out of the corner of her eye.

then

A grown man came here but didn't watch the show; instead, he kept scrolling through those lewd illustrations on his phone.

This

"No, no, no, senior could never be a pervert!"

"correct!"

"It must be because of Hai Meng."

In an apartment plastered with posters of various adult games and anime female characters, Kitagawa Haimu, who was eating hot pot and singing—no, eating potato chips and watching anime—suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Is my senior thinking of me?"

After glancing at the closed window, Kitagawa Kaimu immediately gave a 'clever' answer.

Chapter 91 Sugaya Noha's Strangeness

On the other side, Sugaya Nowa was struggling with her decision.

"Should we remind the senior? After all, there are other people around!"

Although she knew it was because of Kitagawa Kaimu, others didn't. What if someone else saw Iura Hide looking at those lewd illustrations and thought he was a pervert?

Sugaya Noi felt it was necessary to help Iura Hide maintain his image, after all, Iura Hide was also her good friend's boyfriend, right?

"Ahem, senior, what did you think of that song just now?"

"what?"

"well enough"

When Iura Hide came to his senses, he was first taken aback, then quickly glanced around before calmly putting away his phone.

However, this scene, when seen by Sugaya Noa, made her lips curl slightly upward, and she almost laughed out loud.

"By the way, if you're going to form a band, you should have prepared a new song, right?" Sugaya Noi's eyes lit up as she took the opportunity to ask about it.

"Yes, I wrote a few."

"Can I listen to it?"

"Of course, but we've only recorded one song so far—"

As Iura Hide was speaking, he was about to take out his phone, but halfway through, he realized that he had only locked the screen in his haste and hadn't had time to exit the platform. If he had to unlock the screen again, wouldn't that be a complete disaster?
