My Cartoonist Girlfriend

The cake bases on both the upper and lower sides were baked smoothly, and even Oosaka Taiga's side did not have any problems.

Asakura Kaede and Kitamura Yusaku each held a cake base, followed by Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the three of them returned to Oosaka Taiga's apartment.

The creams and matching fruits for the three groups have been prepared. Even Takasu Ryuji's group does not use pure cream, but has chocolate added to it, preparing to make a chocolate cream cake.

When I came in, I saw Oosaka Taiga protesting.

"Why are you using chocolate all of a sudden? That's not fair! We're just ordinary butter cakes!"

In response, Takasu Ryuji said nonchalantly: "Hey, you didn't say we can't use them, so of course I just treat them as if there are no rules. And all three sets are the same, isn't that too boring?"

After putting down the cake base in his hand, Asakura Feng also said: "Yes, we are not really going to compete. It will be more interesting for everyone to eat if we make more different ones. Da He, stop arguing and make yours first."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me!"

After sticking out his tongue at Asakura Kaede, Oosaka Taiga hurried back to his table and carefully divided the cake base into layers.

The subsequent steps are very simple. After layering, spread the prepared cream and fruit pieces on top, then evenly apply cream on the outside, and three different cakes are ready.

Although both Eriri and Oosaka Taiga's cakes use ordinary cream, the fruits inside are different, so the taste will be different in the end.

After the cakes were made, the three cakes were placed together. Takasu Ryuji stroked his chin and glanced at the cake on Oosaka Taiga's side. He smiled and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, your cake is not smooth enough. You are still practicing!"

"..."

Oosaka Taiga was speechless. He indeed did not spread the cake evenly enough and the marks were visible. However, the surface of the cake was very smooth for both Takasu Ryuji and Eriri.

"Humph, appearance is only one aspect, taste is the most important!"

The last step, of course, was food tasting. Even before the tasting, Oosaka Taiga took out tea from his home and brewed it.

It's really just afternoon tea.

Because the cakes everyone made were quite big, and there were three of them in total, a small piece of each would be enough to eat, and the rest could be shared among everyone, or even taken home.

After dividing the cake, Oosaka Taiga couldn't wait to cut a piece for himself and put it into his mouth.

But her expression was not that pretty, she pursed her lips and said, "Well... the cake wasn't soft enough, and there wasn't enough sugar. Fortunately, there was the sweetness of the fruit, otherwise it would have been a failure."

When the cream was ready, it tasted okay, but now it seems that it is still a little bit off.

The other two cakes did not have these problems. After all, they were made by skilled craftsmen, and the basic taste was completely guaranteed.

While eating the cake, Oosaka Taiga said confidently: "Humph, I made a small mistake this time, I admit it, but next time I will definitely succeed and make a cake that will impress you!"

After hearing this, Asakura Kaede looked at Eriri and smiled in tacit understanding.

To be honest, Oosaka Taiga's performance today has exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, Takasu Ryuji had revealed before that Oosaka Taiga could not take care of himself at all, and could not even clean the house. But now he can make delicious cakes. His progress is really rapid.

With such a good start, I think it won’t take long for her pastry cooking skills to continue to improve.

After afternoon tea, today's activities came to an end.

After helping to clean up, everyone said goodbye and left.

Asakura Kaede and Eriri returned to their home, put the cake in the refrigerator, and then sat on the sofa.

"Ah~~~ I'm so full from eating the cake!"

Leaning in Asakura Kaede's arms, Eriri touched her belly with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Eriri ate a lot of the three portions of cake that Kaede Asakura had just made. Girls have little resistance to sweets.

Rubbing Eriri's golden hair, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "It's three o'clock now, take a short break, and then it's time to work!"

"Oh... I get it! Feng-jun just doesn't know how to speak according to the situation. He should be more straightforward at a time like this and just rest and not work today!"

As she spoke, Eriri nudged Asakura Kaede's chin with her head, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"To put it bluntly, it's just laziness."

Asakura Feng stretched out his arms to hug Eriri, pinched Eriri's belly with one hand, and said with a smile: "You have eaten so much just now. If you don't want to work, it's okay, but it's none of your business later. Go run or do yoga. Give me half an hour to exercise. Otherwise, even if you don't easily gain weight, you will definitely gain weight if you continue like this."

"Don't pinch it!"

Slapping Asakura Kaede's hand away, Eriri pouted in frustration: "Isn't it enough for me to exercise? Why do you have to use the excuse of gaining weight?"

Although I managed to skip the morning run, it was obviously impossible to skip it again after eating so many desserts in the afternoon.

After resting for a while, Eriri spread out the yoga mat and started exercising, while Asakura Kaede stretched and started cleaning with a vacuum cleaner.

After having a cat at home, the frequency of cleaning the house has become much higher than before. There is no other way. Cat hair can fall anywhere and at any time. If you don't clean for a while, you can obviously see the change in hygiene.

"Well, luckily I bought a portable vacuum cleaner that can be used directly after charging. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to connect the wires."

Hearing Asakura Kaede's complaints, Eriri, who was stretching, agreed and said, "That's right, I also bought such a vacuum cleaner at home. It is really inconvenient to connect it to the socket. If you walk away carelessly, the plug will fall off. But this thing is not cheap, it is much more expensive than the original vacuum cleaner."

"It's still worth spending this little money, as long as it's useful."

As he spoke, Asakura Feng walked over to the cat climbing frame, let Camilla come down, and started cleaning the cat climbing frame.

Now the two kittens have started to make some noise. They started to practice climbing up from under the cat climbing frame and sharpen their claws as there is the most dust and cat hair here.

After carefully cleaning the living room and other places where the cat would run to, such as the workroom and bathroom, Asakura Feng breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest.

Make a cup of black tea and go buy some groceries after drinking it.

Chapter 259 Another Club Activity? (1/2)

The weather is starting to get cooler and the school is changing into autumn uniforms.

The stockings that Eriri usually wears have become thicker, and she even wears pantyhose for several days. She seems to be tending to be closer to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Walking down the street on the way to school, Asakura Feng looked at the many students coming and going and whispered, "Eri, I've actually always had a question."

"Hmm? What's the confusion?"

Glancing at other high school girls on the other side of the street who were dressed completely differently from Eriri, Asakura Kaede said, "Why do girls choose to wear socks with bare legs when they are wearing skirts when it's cold?"

Following Asakura Kaede's line of sight, Eriri also saw the two girls over there.

Although many girls would get angry when they find out their boyfriends are looking at other girls, Eriri didn't.

Putting aside other things, Ying Lili is still very confident in herself. Those two girls are just ordinary high school girls. She doesn't have to be on guard against even these girls. That would be too tiring.

Glancing at the two girls wearing short socks with their legs exposed, Eriri said thoughtfully, "Hmm... I haven't thought about this question. Normally, when the weather is cold, I will wear thicker clothes, and I always have warm stockings and other things. Although there are many ways to keep warm now, such as iron heating pads, which can relieve the coldness on the legs, if other people dress like this, it seems that they really prefer style over temperature."

The netizen was right, ham needs to be refrigerated.

This is not an isolated case, it can be said to be everywhere in Japan. It is still autumn now, and it will be even more surprising to see it in winter.

Anyway, if Eriri were given a choice, she would never do that.

Holding Eriri's hand, Asakura said, "That's true. Eriri, you're complaining about the cold now. But, do we have to wear skirts as winter school uniforms?"

As he said this, he glanced at Eriri's short skirt in her autumn school uniform: "I now seriously doubt whether Principal Toyonosaki is an LSP. Does he do everything just to satisfy his desire to see legs? No, I should say that most high school principals are the same."

"Hey, Feng Jun, aren't you afraid of being heard by others when you say this?"

Ying Lili had a smile on her face and looked around in a pretentious manner.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Asakura Feng reached out and tapped Eriri's head, saying with a smile, "Although it's just a joke, it's really outrageous to a boy like me. After all, as a boy, it's impossible for me to go out wearing so little in winter."

"That's because you don't understand girls' psychology!" Ying Lili said with her head raised, "For girls, beauty is the most important thing! Of course, that's only for ordinary people. For a beautiful girl like me, there's no need to worry about such things. I look good no matter what I wear!"

What he said was true and could not be refuted.

In the afternoon, Art Department.

Seeing Asakura Kaede and Eriri both arrived, the lying minister smiled and said, "It's rare that you two are finally here together?"

"What do you mean by rare?" After entering and putting down the bag, Asakura Feng said, "We just have things to do occasionally. After all, I work on light novels, and Eriri works on comics. From time to time, we have to go to the publishing house to find editors, or we edit and discuss things together, and we all ask for leave. On the contrary, you, the director, it's not a good thing to always sleep. When are you going to organize an event for us again?"

This year is almost over. Except for the cherry blossom viewing and sketching when I first entered school, all other activities of the Art Department were not activities of the Art Department, but were participated by more people.

When it comes to this, Usami also became interested and said with a paintbrush, "Yes, Minister, it's already October, and we've been in school for almost two months. It's time to organize a club activity!"

Seeing everyone was very excited, the head coach sat up, scratched his messy hair and said, "Club activities, this is a bit difficult. What activities should we choose in autumn and winter? Isn't it a sin to come out to sketch at this time? It's very cold. Asakura, Uchimaki, do you two have any ideas?"

Subaru Uchimaki shook his head and said, "Although I don't mind going out, it's really uncomfortable to paint when it's cold. Oh, by the way, speaking of this, Chief, our club room doesn't have air conditioning! It's okay in the summer, because we're on summer vacation and don't need it, but winter is coming soon, and it will be hard to paint indoors if it's so cold. How much money do we have left for our activities? Can we buy an air conditioner?"

It was only after Neijuu Subaru brought it up that everyone remembered this issue.

Yes, there is no air conditioning in the activity room!

Stroking his chin, Asakura Feng nodded and said, "This is the age of technology. The school is not without money. We can't not provide air conditioning. How can we students carry out club activities properly?"

"That's right!" Eriri followed closely in Asakura Kaede's footsteps and said, "The classrooms already have air conditioners, but we forgot about them because we never used them in the club! Director, I think we can apply for them, right?"

Usami was more direct. She looked at the minister with a scrutinizing look and asked, "Minister, you are not going to use the money we are going to use to buy air conditioners to buy something else, are you?"

"No way!"

The director loudly retorted, then sighed and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I'll keep this in mind! I've already asked Teacher Xiaoshan. In the next month, all club activity rooms will begin to install air conditioners, and they will all be installed before the temperature drops completely! You guys, stop putting the blame on me."

Oh, so that's fine.

Lying back down, the chief moved his pillow to make himself more comfortable, then said, "Don't worry about the air conditioning, let's continue talking about club activities. There's no need for competitions, as they won't happen until May or June next year. Asakura, what do you think of what Uchimaki just said?"

"me?"

After plugging in the computer and turning it on, Asakura shrugged, "As for club activities, we're in the art club, so basically we can only go out to sketch, and there won't be many other projects. It's nothing more than picking a place with beautiful scenery to paint. But let me make a deal first, I'll be traveling with Eriri at the end of the year, probably around Christmas time, so it's best to arrange club activities before then, otherwise we won't have time."

“Where are you going to travel?”

"Hokkaido, Eriri wants to go there."

As soon as she finished speaking, Asakura Feng noticed that Eriri was pulling her sleeve.

When he looked up, he saw that the Buchou, Uchimaki Subaru, and Usami were all looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"...I have a bad feeling."

Chapter 260 We Live in the Same House Anyway (2/2)

After the club activities, on the way home.

Ying Lili kept pounding Asakura Feng's shoulders with her hands, and said with a depressed look on her face: "Who told you to be so talkative? Now everyone is following us!"

Asakura Feng did not dodge, letting Eriri punch him, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I was a bit talkative, but I didn't think too much about it. Besides, Eriri, you can refuse it, didn't you refuse the proposal?"

"..."

Eriri immediately showed an embarrassed expression, hugged Asakura Kaede's arm and said, "Hehe, I was thinking that high school is only three years, and there won't be many opportunities for everyone to travel together. If everyone can come, then let's play together!"

This is true. Although they are only in the first year of high school, the three years of high school will pass quickly. And judging from the future college entrance examination situation, Eriri should apply to an art university, and Asakura Kaede will apply to the literature department of a good university. It is hard to say about the other people in the art department, but they probably will not be admitted together.

In the past three years, except for the headmaster, the most stable time for everyone to travel together was the school trip in the third year of high school. This year, the third-year students of Toyonosaki have also participated in the school trip, and just last week, they went to Osaka.

Yes, there are only a few places for school trips in Toyonosaki, and it is very unlikely that the school will arrange a school trip to Hokkaido or somewhere like that. After all, it is not a famous school like Shuchiin, so it is easy to arrange a school trip abroad.

After hearing Eriri's explanation, what could Asakura Kaede do? After all, she had already agreed.

Shrugging, he said, "Well, that's it. I've already agreed. But let's make it clear first. We'll sleep in the same room. We originally planned on traveling together, just the two of us."

Eriri blushed and patted Asakura Kaede, but did not refuse.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't Usami be the only girl left?"

“I have two solutions to this.”

Asakura Kaede looked at Eriri and raised two fingers.

"Huh? What can I do?"

Asakura Feng curled her fingers and said with a smile: "The first method is to let Usami quickly catch up with Uchimaki, so that the minister can have his own room. Anyway, the minister likes to sleep, so letting him have his own room will make him sleep more comfortably."

"..."

Eriri frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If that were possible, Mizuki wouldn't have been in a state of secret love until now."

"Then let her work harder!" Asakura Feng said, "Aren't you her best friend? Don't just think about giving advice to Senior Shinomiya, think of a solution for Usami too."

"They are different!" Eriri said, swinging her twin ponytails. "Kaguya-senpai already had feelings for each other, and they just needed that final push. Now it's almost certain. Yesterday I received a message from the senior saying that Shirogane-senpai invited her out on a date this weekend. It will probably be in a day or two. But Mizuki is completely different. God knows if Uchimaki has feelings for Mizuki!"

“Indeed.”

Asakura Feng nodded and analyzed: "Uchimaki is simply in the late stage of 2D addiction. He only wants to draw a 2D wife. Obviously, Usami is also very cute."

"Um???"
