After all, my hands were itchy too.

"Waaah! That's so mean, why did you hit me?!"

"It's nothing. It's just that I remembered the BL comic you showed me last time, and it gave me a psychological trauma."

"What? I thought it was something serious. I just wanted to see how things were going in that area, since a friend of mine is really interested in it~ So I drew a doujinshi with you as the main character~"

"..."

Is that friend of yours...?

Oh no, there really is one.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye recalled a woman wearing old-fashioned reading glasses that spun around, who called herself "Young Master," and couldn't help but feel speechless.

That was an employee of their publishing house named "Hiroki Takashiro," who was Nia's manga editor.

Their relationship had initially soured because Nia had used the "angel" to examine the contents of her mind and discovered that she was no different from a person in the three-dimensional world. So, she was somewhat frustrated and stopped associating with her...

Yes, despite her name, she is a woman, and also a homebody.

It was during this time that she suddenly wanted to come to school to escape reality and change her mood.

Then I met him.

However, Er Ya's relationship with her has improved considerably.

Because he had also learned about Er Ya's situation and mediated between them, after all, he knew Gao Cheng and they had a fairly good relationship.

It wasn't a big deal. The other person was just too busy with work and was secretly complaining about everyone around them, including Nia, saying things like, "Why do you keep bothering me when I'm at my busiest? I wish you could come a little later..."

But for Nia, who had once considered her her only friend, this was tantamount to "betrayal".

People who live in the world of anime and manga wouldn't have such realistic thoughts, so she's ultimately not from the world of anime and manga.

With this in mind, Erya didn't contact her for quite some time, but...

[Given your situation, if it were me, I would have complained even more and harshly. She just chose not to tell you. As for the reason, do you think it's because she genuinely dislikes you, or is she simply afraid of losing you as a friend?]

After hearing his complaint, Erya thought about it for a while and then contacted him again.

Although she still seems to use "angels" to secretly investigate the other party, her attitude is much better than before, and she will occasionally tell some of Gao Cheng's little secrets to tease her.

...It's just that her BL (Boys' Love) hobby is really giving Bai Ye a headache.

She also said he was very "handsome" and would be perfect for being the "male lead" in her eyes.

Being told this by a woman would normally make him feel smug, but being told this by a yaoi fangirl sent chills down his spine.

"Oh my~ That sounds interesting, I want to see it too~"

"Really? It's under my pillow~"

"Okay~"

"Didn't I already burn it? You said it was the only copy."

Seeing Kurumi actually run inside with some excitement, Byakuya couldn't help but mutter a complaint to Nia with a black line appearing on his forehead.

He already burned one of those books, and it was still the original manuscript. How come there are still some left?

"Hehehe~ Of course, I used my ability to recreate it in the book and then made a copy. Don't worry, it's only between the two of us. But if you try to stop us, watch out, your copy might circulate all over the world!"

"..."

This woman has a truly black heart!

Does she still consider him her boyfriend?

"Alright, alright, stop making that sour face~ Didn't you also want Kurumi to experience this world and relieve her stress? It's been working quite well lately~"

"I do want to, but I don't want to do it this way."

"That depends on whether you're willing to sacrifice yourself. After all, we have to be careful of that woman. It's not like she's safe right now. If she goes berserk again, we won't be able to handle it, will we?"

"...".

"...I understand, but don't keep bringing this up, or we might get overheard."

Hearing those words whispered in his ear from so close by, Bai Ye remained silent for a moment before replying in a similarly soft voice.

To be honest, to put it bluntly, neither Erya nor he fully trusts her yet.

It's not that Kurumi is in danger. If Kurumi were in danger, she could have taken action immediately after the reversal ended. Back then, no one could have stopped her.

What they were worried about was the veil inside her body.

Although Sawa hasn't appeared again in the past month, Kurumi seems to have been communicating with her, and Kurumi's mood has clearly improved, with a bright smile on her face, as she begins to integrate into normal life.

This is indeed a good sign.

But Sawa's situation is still very worrying.

The negative forces of the reversal are too strong, especially since Kurumi initially reversed the situation with intense hatred, so it's probably not so easy to cure her.

Fortunately, Kurumi herself is well aware of this, so there's no need to worry too much about her.

"Being afraid is pointless. Didn't you tell me before not to worry about unnecessary things? So why are you so scared now that it's your turn?"

"I'm just being cautious. By the way... are you jealous again?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ye still spoke, then looked at the silver-haired girl sitting in his lap and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Actually, before Kurumi came to this house, he had relatively little physical contact with Nia.

At most, it's just holding hands, patting the back, or touching the head.

Hugs were rare, and most of the time it was Erya who initiated them, and they were the kind of hugs that were joking around.

It could be said that their relationship was still somewhat awkward at that time.

It's the kind of relationship where both parties have a good impression of each other, but are too shy to take it to the next level.

Bai Ye wasn't shy; in fact, he was quite bold in this regard, and besides... he wasn't a virgin anymore.

After all, he used to have this face. Although he was a homebody, girls would still confess to him, and he had dated some girls, and even been a bit promiscuous...

However, in the end, they all couldn't stand Bai Ye's reclusive lifestyle and left him.

Unfortunately, although there are many anime fans in the world, he has almost no one around him.

His unconventional nature is unacceptable.

So now he's not really interested in the real world anymore. Even if he meets a really pretty girl, if she's not an anime character, he's not interested at all, which is similar to Nia.

That's probably why they ended up together.

However, ever since Kurumi moved into Nia's house, Nia has become much more proactive.

Sit directly on his lap, or put your arms around his shoulders, or...

"Hmph! Who, who would be jealous! I wouldn't!"

"Forced tsundere attitude is meaningless. I don't like that kind of thing. I'm much cuter when I'm just being myself."

"Tch, the tsundere archetype is all the rage right now. Young man, don't you have plenty of tsundere characters in your own novels? Why are you so cold to me? Give me some comfort."

Like this, wrap your arms around his neck, then press your face against his chest and complain softly.

She's not good at hugging him directly, so she often likes to pretend to be "tsundere" for a while, and then put on a "hurt" thick-skinned look to get close to him, which makes it seem more natural.

Well, I guess that's another kind of "tsundere"~

"Okay, okay~ I don't hate you, didn't I? I really like your cute, affectionate behavior~"

So Bai Ye smiled and reached out to hug the slender and lovely girl in his arms a little tighter, and rubbed his cheek against hers, making Er Ya happy but also a little shy.

She felt ashamed not only of Bai Ye's behavior, but also of her own shy and bashful appearance.

She's almost thirty years old, yet she's still acting like a little girl, leaning against a boy who's only ten or so. It's so embarrassing for anyone to see!

"...Tch, who would believe that? Someone's eyes are always fixed on every inch of Xiao Kuang Kuang's body, he probably wishes he could grow his own eyes on her."

"Then you can't blame me, right? Kurumi is indeed beautiful and has a great figure. Besides, didn't you bring her to my side on your own initiative? Why are you angry now?"

"Hmph! The girl is doing this to test your willpower, not to tell you to do it directly!"

"I didn't do anything to her."

"Weren't you hugging her from behind and holding her hand?!"

"That was teaching her to cook, right? I taught you too, but you said you were too lazy to learn."

"you!"

"Um~ Can I come out now? How about you two wait until I get back to my room before continuing our 'amusement' session?"

"..." x2

If you really think that way, then don't just suddenly blurt it out.

Looking at the smiling girl in front of them, who had half her head popped out from the shadowy wall, the two couldn't help but silently complain to themselves.

However, just as Nia was about to leave, Bai Ye suddenly made a decision and then slightly increased the pressure on her hands, making her stay there.

"No need, we're going out to submit our manuscripts soon anyway, let's sit a little longer, okay, Erya?"

"...Yes, yes, but I really don't want to go. Ms. Takashiro said that a new editor has joined them, and they have to hold a welcome party today. It sounds so annoying."

"A new editor? For comics?"

"About the novel, isn't she your new editor? Your old editor became the editor-in-chief, and this one is new. She seems to be a very beautiful woman, and she's a foreigner from Northern Europe."

"ah??".

"How come I didn't know about this? Did you secretly investigate using your abilities again?"

"I'd rather not do that. It was Ms. Gao Cheng who told me that your editor has become the editor-in-chief, and you've also been hired. It's a double celebration."

After giving Bai Ye a slightly annoyed glance, Nia silently began to explain.
