My Cartoonist Girlfriend

However, Eriri did not start drawing comics right from the start. Instead, after looking at the storyboards drawn by Asakura Kaede in the afternoon, she opened a file that she had worked on before and continued tinkering with it.

What I’m drawing right now is, of course, the new giant panda monster that I talked about adding to the comics when I went to the zoo last week.

While Eriri was drawing, Asakura Kaede was also holding the script outline and making minor adjustments, preparing to add some plot to it so that this originally non-existent character could also be involved.

Besides, it is a national treasure after all, so its design must be more powerful.

Because it will not affect the main storyline, it is very easy for Asakura Kaede to add such content. It does not take much time to arrange the plot framework, and she just needs to slowly fill in this part of the plot.

"Feng Jun, come and take a look! I have finished the first version!"

Hearing Eriri's call, Asakura Kaede stopped typing on the keyboard, moved his chair to Eriri's side, and glanced at her computer screen.

"Um...Eri, are you...serious?"

On the screen, there was indeed the image of the panda monster that Eriri had carefully designed, but it was somewhat different from what Asakura Kaede had originally imagined.

Because, this is a fucking woman!

A nice figure, a Chinese martial arts uniform, a hearty smile on the face, a pair of panda hands holding a long stick, and a pair of panda ears on the head.

Asakura Feng said with a subtle expression: "Well... if the panda's features were not used on the hands and ears, I really couldn't tell the attributes of this character. Also, why does it have to be a female character?"

"Because there are too few female characters in your character setting, Fengjun! Even the supporting roles are really few!" Speaking of this, Eriri immediately changed her expression and said seriously, "Although we are drawing a boys' comic, wouldn't it be nice to have a few more female supporting roles with distinctive characteristics?"

"Emm~~~That's fine too."

The character design is still very good, and Asakura Kaede has not yet completed the female panda monster. The gender of the character is not a problem at all. Just make slight modifications according to the original design.

"Then use this?"

"Yes, that's it!" Eriri nodded vigorously. "I originally thought about designing a character like the Pandaren in Warcraft, but that would be too mediocre. And don't most of the monsters in our comics still appear in human form? So I think this design is very good!"

Asakura Kaede agreed with Eriri's words. If it was really designed like the Panda Man, it would lose its uniqueness and would seem like a copy of an excellent design.

Stroking his chin, Asakura Feng said, "Well, then let's use this image according to your idea, Eriri. I will design the plot, so you don't have to worry about it. But now, you should start drawing properly."

"I know~~"

Looking at the time, it is almost nine o'clock. Ying Lili estimated that if she finishes drawing the pages at hand, it will be about half past ten. Then she can play games with Fengjun for a while, and then end this wonderful day.

While drawing, Eriri asked, "Kaede-kun, the student council president election at Shuchiin is over, right?"

"Yeah, it's over." Asakura Feng nodded, "It ended last week. Senior Shirogane successfully took over the position of student council president. I guess I'll have dark circles under my eyes for the next year."

"It's possible." Eriri said with a smile, "But there's nothing we can do. Senior has to study, work part-time, and do so much work for the student union. I feel like if it weren't for Kaguya-senpai's help, he really wouldn't be able to hold on."

The student union of Shuchiin is different from their Toyonosaki. The basic management of the school is handed over to the student union. They have great power and can gain many benefits from it. For example, Shirogane Miyuki has already obtained a letter of recommendation from the school through this year's work in the student union. And with it comes a lot of work, all kinds of troubles and trivial matters.

The dark circles under Baiyin Yuxing's eyes are not without reason.

Asakura Feng thought while typing on the keyboard, "I just don't know how Senior Shirogane will promote his relationship with Senior Shinomiya after the student council affairs are settled. Eriri, you are still doing your job as the dog-headed military strategist, right? Why don't you go and ask him?"

"Hehe, I do have this idea, but I'd better wait until Kaguya-senpai comes to me for consultation before I tell her. Otherwise, I'll seem too nosy."

Although Eriri is curious, she is not the kind of person who does not know etiquette. It is not good to ask about other people's privacy too aggressively.

Of course, Shinomiya Kaguya will definitely not forget Eriri, the friend who gave her advice, and she will definitely come for consultation again next time. Just follow the steps.

Besides, what Eriri is planning in her heart right now has a higher priority than this.

Chapter 245 Plan (1/2)

As we all know, after raising a cat, your daily life will naturally not be just about happily petting and playing with the cat. There will naturally be many bad things.

Fortunately, Asakura Kaede and Eriri were very alert and kept the bedroom door closed, so the rampage of the three cats, one big and two small, in the house had not spread to the bedroom.

After getting up in the morning, yawning, Asakura Kaede changed into sportswear and prepared to go out for a run, while Eriri followed him in a daze.

Although I really don’t want to go, I have to stick to my morning exercise since I just said that.

Seeing that the cat owner had gotten up, Camilla, who had already woken up, immediately jumped down from the cat climbing frame and came to the two of them.

Patting Camilla's head, Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll prepare breakfast for you right away."

Asakura Kaede went to get the cat food, while Eriri went straight to sit on the sofa, still drowsy and in the process of waking up.

When Asakura Kaede came back from the corner of the living room and saw the garbage bag in his hand, Eriri shook all over and woke up completely.

The bag naturally contains the cat's poop that has just been cleaned out of the cat litter.

“I won’t feel sleepy anymore after seeing this.”

Hearing Eriri's complaints, Asakura Feng also smiled: "Have a nice day, starting with cleaning the cat litter box. Do you want to start rotating tomorrow?"

"I don't want it!"

Eriri yelled, stood up and pushed Asakura Kaede out, leaving Camilla and the two children beside her alone, watching the two of them leave.

After throwing away the garbage, the two started their morning run.

In order to take Eriri's physical condition into consideration, Asakura Kaede has been slowing down.

Looking at Eriri who was following his steps, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Don't slack off, Eriri you have been eating a lot of meat and fish these past two days. On Sunday we had a barbecue together, and yesterday you went to a barbecue with your senior. If you don't exercise well, you will probably gain weight."

"Uh... I know!" Ying Lili said with a depressed look on her face, panting slightly, "I only realized it after I finished eating yesterday, but it's too late."

At the same time, Ying Lili was thinking that she went to buy milk tea again yesterday. Fortunately, she didn't say this...

After that, Ying Lili didn't dare to talk much anymore. She was not yet at the stage where she could talk so frequently while running. Saying a few more words would be a waste of her energy.

20 minutes later, the two slowly returned home. Eriri rested first while Asakura went to prepare breakfast.

The cell phone rang, Eriri picked it up and saw it was a message from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

[Are you up yet? How was your night? ]

"..."

Eriri knew at a glance that the woman, Kasumigaoka Utaha, was driving, and she immediately sent a message back.

[I won’t use it so soon! ! ! ! ! ]

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already gotten up and was eating breakfast, saw Eriri's reply and showed an expression of "as expected".

"Even if you are decisive when buying, it's still not that easy to put it into practice. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought you had completely changed, Eriri, but it seems you haven't."

Of course, Ying Lili would not really use the clothes she bought yesterday so soon. She still needed to plan carefully.

After looking at Asakura Kaede who was busy in the kitchen, Eriri got up and went to take a shower.

Walking into the bathroom, Ying Lili turned on the shower and said to herself, "Well...it's October now, and Feng Jun's birthday is almost two months away. Why don't we wait until then? Yeah, it's decided. But Feng Jun can't find out easily, otherwise he will definitely think that I am easily soft-hearted. I will buy it back as soon as I say it."

After washing up, Eriri came out to replace Asakura Kaede.

After breakfast, they came to school.

Entering the classroom, Usami immediately came over: "Good morning, Eriri!"

"Good morning, Mizuki."

Putting down her schoolbag, Eriri said with a smile on her face: "Ruzi Ruizi, let's go out and play this weekend!"

"Ugh?"

Originally, Usami wanted to talk about this, but unexpectedly, Eriri brought it up first. It wasn't a big deal in the art club yesterday, but after returning home, Usami thought about it and felt a little depressed. After all, she was the girl with the best relationship with Eriri in the class, so why didn't she invite her?

But then I thought about it again, maybe Eriri wanted to discuss something with senior Kasumigaoka.

Then I thought again, I haven't been out shopping for a long time, so I decided to make an appointment with Eriri in the morning.

Looking at Usami who looked surprised, Eriri said, "Because Feng-kun has to go to the library on Saturday to take care of things, he has to deal with the new volume, and it seems that he also has to discuss the promotion of the animation, so I just asked you to come out and play."

"Animation promotion?"

Usami doesn't quite understand.

Eriri nodded and said, "Yes, isn't the animation of Soharu aired? The response so far is very good, and the voice actors will be doing various online and radio programs to promote it. Then the animation team found Bunko and asked if Fengjun could also join them to do two programs. It seems that they will discuss it on Friday, and then discuss it again on Saturday. Hehe, Fengjun didn't want to go at first, but I encouraged him to go and have fun."

"Hey! Go on the show!"

Usami was surprised and asked curiously, "If it's on the show, will a lot of people be able to see it?"

"You can't say it's a lot," Eriri explained. "After all, it's not a TV show, nor is it a popular online show. It's just a promotional show following the broadcast of the animation. Not many people will watch it. It should be people who are interested in the animation, the original novel, and the voice actors. There is still a certain amount of promotion. Of course, there are some good shows among them. If they are good, we will continue to do it. If there is enough funding, we will also have a large-scale live show."

Usami seemed to understand: "It sounds like it's very impressive..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't even started discussing this yet. Once we have a result, we might have a chance to go and see it in person. Ruixi, do you have time to go shopping this weekend?"

"Yep!"

"Okay then, let's make an appointment and come out to play when the time comes!"

Looking at Eriri who looked so happy, Usami suddenly thought of something and asked, "But Eriri, does your work have anything to do with it?"

Ying Lili waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. Feng Jun and I will paint well these few days. We will have a free day on Saturday to come out. There will be no problem!"

Ying Lili now likes shopping more and more. It's only Tuesday, but she has already made plans for the weekend.

Chapter 246 Wear a Mask (2/2)

At noon, Asakura Kaede and Eriri were eating together. Halfway through, other people from the art club also joined in. Kasumigaoka Utaha followed them to the cafeteria and sat in the last empty seat.

Putting down the lunch she had bought, she yawned and started eating.

Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha and asked, "Just woke up?"

"Ah."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was holding chopsticks, said, "After I went home last night, I finished my homework and started typing again. I was busy until about three o'clock before I took a break. I could only come to school to catch up on my sleep."

The others looked at each other, and finally Uchimaki Subaru looked at Asakura Kaede and asked, "Asakura, do all writers stay up late like this?"

Shaking his head, Asakura Feng said, "It's probably a matter of personal habits. I think it may be that the senior sister is used to typing in the middle of the night. Is it more inspiring? As for me, I can actually type at any time, but I think it's better to pay more attention to sleep. If you always stay up late, your body will easily collapse."

Eriri also nodded, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "That's right, if you stay up late all the time, especially if you are a girl, you will age quickly and your skin will deteriorate!"

"...Why do I feel like you are cursing me?"

Ying Lili smiled and said, "No, I'm just telling the truth. I used to stay up until the middle of the night to finish my manuscripts, but now it's basically not the case. I will definitely rest before 12 o'clock."

Asakura Feng on the side immediately said: "Isn't it because I was watching you? Otherwise, you would have hit me again when you were playing games yesterday."

Of course, Ying Lili would not admit it, and quickly retorted: "No way! I have always been paying attention to the time!"

The two immediately switched into argument mode and began discussing what time they could play games until at night.

Seeing these two people showing off their love without any scruples again, everyone sighed silently and started eating their somewhat bland lunch.

While eating, suddenly another girl from the first year of high school came over, came to Kasumigaoka Utaha, and whispered: "Senior...Senior, can you..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and saw the love metronome in the other person's hand. She nodded with a smile and whispered, "Okay, but don't tell anyone. I still hope to be more stable in school."

The girl agreed immediately, and after watching Kasumigaoka Utaha sign, she said, "I also heard about this from my friend. She went to the last book signing event, but I couldn't go because of family matters. It took me a lot of determination to come and get her autograph."

After signing and returning the novel to the other party, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."

The girl thanked him again with a rosy face, then walked away with the novel in her arms.

Uchimaki Subaru said in surprise: "Ah~~ I didn't expect that someone in our school already knew that you are a light novel writer."

"Indeed, there are some, but only a small number. They haven't been circulated on the Internet, and the people who know about it in school are all girls, so there's no problem."

Shaking her head, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri with a smile: "And my reputation is much better than that of a certain former doujin artist."

"Huh? Don't involve me. I will never reveal my identity!"

Usami on the opposite side looked at Eriri who was acting so serious, and suddenly remembered what she had said to her in the morning.

...........

Eriri and Usami had talked about inviting Asakura Kaede to participate in the live broadcast program. Finally, on Friday, Asakura Kaede came to the library and started the first discussion.

In fact, the show has already started, but there are always invited guests every time. Bunko and the program team think that it is okay to let Asakura Kaede participate once or twice. After all, compared to Eriri, it is not a big problem for Asakura Kaede to show up.

After school in the afternoon, Eriri went back to buy groceries, while Asakura Kaede came to the library alone.

"Oh, I'm going to be on a show, but I don't know if it's a radio program or a live broadcast with my face showing." Scratching his head, Asakura Kaede said hello to Takasu Yasuko at the front desk and came to the editorial department.

Editor Nakajima was already waiting here, and the director and supervisor of the animation production team also came over to discuss the program together.

Arriving at the conference room, the four of them sat down and the director said without delay: "Asakura-kun, our request is actually very simple. We just want you to participate in two programs, one broadcast and one live, both as a guest. Don't worry, there is nothing special. It's basically just ordinary chats and letters from readers. The program flow will be prepared, just follow the script."

Asakura Feng already knew about all this and nodded, "Director, it's actually okay to participate in the show. After all, I'm very satisfied with the production of the animation. It's okay to contribute a little to promote the animation. But you also know that I haven't held any offline or online activities since my debut, and my true identity has never been exposed. If I appear this time, I don't think my life will be peaceful in the future."
