My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Ishigami Yu felt as if two arrows were stabbed in his back. He said calmly, "I have never expected such a thing. Now I am lucky to be able to spend the three years of high school in peace."

“Is it…to this extent?”

While matching the game, Eriri said in surprise: "Let's not talk about anything else. There are two very good girls in the student council alone. Whether it's Senior Chika or the newly joined Iino, aren't they your type, Ishigami?"

"..."

Ishigami Yuu fell into a long silence. The game had entered the parachuting stage before he spoke: "Let's not talk about Iino first. As for Senior Fujiwara... Sawamura, do you want me to die young?"

From Ishigami's perspective, in a sense, Fujiwara Chika is even more terrifying than Shinomiya Kaguya.

Chapter 263 Mom’s New Hobby (1/2)

How should I describe Eriri's level in playing first-person shooter games... If she is stationed in a stronghold battle or something, maybe she will have no problem, but if it is an encounter battle, this girl will definitely suck.

Plus they had to chat, so just like Asakura Kaede and Ishigami Yu in the first game, they chose a more remote place and chatted while searching for supplies.

"So, what kind of girls do you like, Ishigami? It's not good to be so gloomy all day long, even though you're doing student council work."

"...I haven't really thought about these things."

Ishigami Yu distributed the useless bullets he saw to the other two, and then said, "Actually, it's pretty good now. Every day in the student union is quite interesting, not too muddled, and I can play games every day."

"You really don't care about anything else as long as you have the game."

After Asakura Feng sighed, he smiled and said, "But it can't always be like this. I don't believe your family will always let you be like this. And with your grades, don't say you can always be carefree."

Ishigami Yu's family runs a toy company, and the business is quite large. He has an older brother, and the two brothers have no trouble fighting over the family property. They have a very good relationship, so Ishigami Yu has always lived a comfortable life and can play whenever he wants.

This result is not very beautiful.

According to Shirogane Miyuki during a chat, this guy almost had to repeat a grade, so he was forced by Shinomiya Kaguya to go to tutoring, and finally he passed.

Hearing Asakura Kaede talking about the results, Ishigami Yu said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Things like grades will definitely be solved before the exam."

"Are you being dragged here for tutoring by Shinomiya-senpai?"

"...How did you know that?"

"Hehe, Senior Shirogane told me." Asakura Feng sold Shirogane Miyuki without hesitation. After all, they were all boys and would not care about this. It was common for them to sell each other.

"I knew it."

Ishigami Yu was not angry. It was just a small matter. Everyone in the student union knew that he was forced to go to cram school.

At this time, Eriri said, "But Ishigami, at least you have to study hard. After all, you are studying at Shuchiin. If your grades are not good enough, you may not be able to play games."

Ishigami Yu naturally knew what Eriri meant. After all, he was not financially independent yet. If his grades were really extremely bad, he would have no money to buy games, and even his current collection would be confiscated.

After a moment of silence, Ishigami Yu said, "Ah, I know. I study for a while every day."

If someone else said this, Asakura Feng might believe it, but now that the person saying it is Ishigami Yu, Asakura Feng has to question this.

"So, how much time do you spend studying every day now?"

"Half an hour!"

"This isn't even enough time to do homework!!!" x2

Even Asakura Kaede, who always had good grades, couldn't spend only half an hour studying every day. Even if she had less time to paint at home, she would spend her free time at school. Eriri was similar, and Asakura Kaede had always reminded her.

But what Ishigami Yu said... for half an hour, this guy really dared to talk.

In response, Ishigami Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, just review before the exam. Ah, there are people in front of us, no more talking, let's start fighting."

Asakura Kaede and Eriri looked at each other, knowing that they could not persuade Ishigami Yuu, so they could only focus on the game in front of them. After this game, they should get busy, and Ishigami Yuu's affairs will be handed over to the two seniors, Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kaguya.

..............

Another week passed and it was Friday.

Today is finally the day as planned, when Asakura Kaede is going to the TV station to record a show.

After the afternoon class, neither Asakura Kaede nor Eriri went to the art club. They asked for leave and went straight home.

After changing into casual clothes, Sayuri Sawamura also turned on her phone.

"Let's go, Eriri."

"Okay!"

Eriri changed into autumn clothes and held Asakura Kaede's hand, and they happily went out together.

"Hey, the TV station! I haven't been there yet!"

"I went there once before, but it was really just like that. Each show had a separate studio, and the place wasn't very big."

When I went to understand the program process before, I went with the people from the animation company and met with the director of the program to have a discussion.

However, the feelings between understanding and officially recording the program are still different. Even Asakura Kaede feels a little nervous at this moment.

After going downstairs, Sayuri Sawamura's car was already parked here, and Asakura Reiko was also in the car.

Asakura Feng said in surprise: "Mom? Why are you here too?"

Waving her hand, Asakura Reiko said with a smile: "My son is going to record a program, so as a mother, I have to come and support him, right? It's only because your father is very busy at work these days, otherwise he would have wanted to come."

"Forget it, I'm just recording a show, there's no need to bring my family along."

As they spoke, Asakura Kaede and Eriri opened the car door and got in.

As they set out for the TV station, Sayuri Sawamura asked, "Xiaofeng, are you nervous now?"

"It's OK. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. This is my first time doing a live show after all." Holding Eriri's hand, Asakura Kaede said with a smile, "But as long as you know the process, most of it is just a simple chat. We're all talking about anime and light novels. I'm familiar with all of this."

Asakura Reiko smiled and said, "In fact, there is nothing mysterious about the TV station. When I was still in college, I visited the TV station to study. If I hadn't married Guiyi right after graduation and had Xiaofeng, I would probably be working at a TV station now."

When Eriri heard this, she immediately leaned forward curiously and asked, "Aunt Reiko, didn't you want to be a housewife at first?"

"Yes!"

Asakura Reiko said frankly: "At that time, I discussed with Guiyi that we should work together and make more money. I also thought about working in a TV station. With my foreign language level, it is not difficult for me to take on some corresponding jobs. But I didn't expect that Xiaofeng would be born so soon, so I had to put this idea aside for the time being. Later, Xiaofeng was born, and Guiyi's work was also very smooth. His position was rising all the way, and there was no financial pressure, so I faded the idea. But now, I have a lot more free time, and I do want to be a video host."

"Hey! Video host!" Eriri immediately thought of the interesting live broadcast room of Shirogane Miyuki's father, "What type of video host should I be?"

"Well, I'm currently planning to work on food. Besides my foreign language skills, which haven't become rusty over the years, my best skill is cooking."

Clapping her hands, Asakura Reiko said happily: "Maybe my career will start from now on?"

In response, Asakura Kaede smiled back.

Although his mother is a housewife, her abilities are not limited to that. Maybe in the future she will be more famous than him and Eriri.

Chapter 264 Strong Onlookers (2/2)

The two young people, Kaede Asakura and Eriri, are definitely more sensitive to the Internet than Reiko Asakura. Everyone started giving her suggestions based on Reiko Asakura's new goal.

Soon, the car arrived at the TV station.

After parking the car, the four got out and walked to the entrance of the TV station. The program director who they had met once before was already waiting there in person.

Seeing Asakura Feng coming over, the director immediately trotted over to greet him: "Good afternoon, Asakura-kun."

"Good afternoon." After greeting, Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my mother, Asakura Reiko. This is Eriri who I mentioned to you last time. She is here to visit the recording of the show. This is her mother."

After seeing Sayuri Sawamura, the director was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Excuse me, are you the wife of diplomat Spencer, Ms. Sawamura?"

Sayuri Sawamura was also a little surprised and nodded, "It's me. Do you know me?"

"Yes, Mr. Spencer came to participate in a program three months ago. You came with him at that time. Although I am not a staff member of the program, I also saw you nearby."

Sayuri Sawamura suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

The director said as he ushered the four people in: "Please come in, there is still more than an hour before the recording of the program. Don't worry, I can show you around."

As they walked in, the director felt something was wrong when he looked at Asakura Kaede.

I originally thought he was just a popular light novel writer, who was surprisingly young at best. But now it seems that it is completely different. The girlfriend he mentioned before is actually the daughter of a diplomat, and the Sawamura family is not an unknown family in Tokyo. Although they cannot be compared with those big chaebols, they are not something that a small director like him can get in touch with.

From this moment on, the director became more serious when receiving guests.

Walking in, it was Eriri's first time to come to the TV station, and everything she saw seemed new to her.

While observing, she also pulled Asakura Feng's arm and whispered, "Feng-jun, look, that's the comedian we often see on TV!"

Following Eriri's line of sight, Asakura Feng suddenly realized, "Hmm? Really? I didn't see him the last time I came here. He went straight to the recording site."

Ying Lili nodded, observed for a moment and said, "As expected, you always wear makeup when you appear on TV. Now you look quite different from how you look on TV, and it's also because of the filter. Fengjun, are you going to put on makeup later too?"

"Did you forget? I was wearing a mask."

"Ah, I remembered it."

Eriri stuck out her tongue with a smile and asked, "So, Feng-kun, what kind of mask are you going to wear?"

"This, you'll be able to see it when we get to the rest room later."

Soon, everyone came to the rest room reserved for Asakura Kaede. After all, she was the publishing house's best-selling author of the year, so a separate rest room would not be a problem for her.

Asakura Kaede chatted with the director for a few words, went to the scene to wait half an hour later, and then took Eriri and the others into the lounge.

As soon as she came in, Ying Lili saw a bag on the table.

"Feng Jun, this is your mask, right?"

"That's right."

Ying Lili immediately walked over, opened the bag, and took out the contents.

After seeing the true appearance of the mask, Eriri burst out laughing instantly: "Pfft! Hahaha! Feng-kun, I originally thought you would customize a mask for Kazuma, but I didn't expect you to make a mask for the Headless Knight? Aren't you too much?"

“Isn’t this a very entertaining show?”

Asakura Feng came over and took the mask, smiling and said, "The Dullahan has already been made quite miserable in the novel, so we can only make him have a more noticeable presence in other places."

Putting on the mask, Asakura Feng said, "It feels pretty good. It's custom-made, so it won't feel uncomfortable. How does it look?"

Ying Lili took two steps back and nodded, "Yeah, very good, this way no one will be able to recognize your true identity!"

Taking off the mask, Asakura Feng said, "Eri, there is still half an hour left before the standby time. The other participants have arrived. Do you want to go meet them?"

"You mean the voice actor? Go!"

Asakura Kaede looked at Asakura Reiko and Sawamura Sayuri, and the two elders shook their heads.

Sayuri Sawamura said, "Xiao Feng, you and Eriri go play. The two of us are here to accompany you. We just want to rest here for a while and then go to the scene before the live broadcast starts."

Asakura Kaede nodded, pulled the already very excited Eriri out of the lounge, found the director of the program and told him, and then let him take them to the voice actors' lounge.

While Asakura Kaede and Eriri were looking for voice actors to take photos and get autographs inside the TV station, friends of Asakura Kaede in other places gathered together to watch him appear in front of the camera for the first time.

Sitting in the living room of Oosaka Taiga's home, while stuffing potato chips into his mouth, Oosaka Taiga said, "Even though he's going to be on stage, didn't Asakura say he'll be wearing a mask? That wouldn't be fun to watch."

Kasumigaoka Utaha also came today and said with a smile: "Although he will wear a mask, we are not here to see Asakura-kun show his face, right? We just want to see how he performs on the show. As for me, I also have some ideas to learn from him. My editor told me before that if everything goes well, my novel should be adapted into an animation, and I may also be on the live show by then."

Nowadays, more and more light novelists or cartoonists have participated in live broadcast programs related to their works. Asakura Kaede is not the first, nor will she be the last. Of course, her colleague Kasumigaoka Utaha is no exception.

However, judging from the situation of her works, by the time it is adapted into animation, she should already be in college, so it won't be a big problem whether her face is shown or not.

Takasu Ryuji pondered and said, "I've always wondered if that guy would be nervous. I don't think I've ever seen him nervous before."

After Takasu Ryuji said this, everyone realized that it was indeed true.

No one knows what happened before high school, but after entering Toyogasaki, Asakura Kaede has never encountered anything that made her nervous.

Stroking her chin, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Asakura-kun is not nervous at all when girls confess to him. He always handles it calmly. I think this live show will not be a problem for him either."

Kitamura Yusaku said in surprise: "Have you ever seen a girl confess her love to him?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said, "But I won't go into details. Although it happened before I started dating Eriri, it is also Asakura-kun's privacy. I saw it by accident."

However, the less Kasumigaoka Utaha said, the more curious everyone became.

At this moment, Kushieda Minori said, "Ah, it looks like the show is about to start!"

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the large-screen TV connected to the computer.
