My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Chapter 289 Birthday (1/3)

Asakura Kaede's birthday arrived as promised.

On the way to school, Asakura asked Eriri: "Eriri, didn't you say you prepared a birthday present for me? Why don't you bring it?"

"Hehe! If I bring it out from home, won't you find it?"

Eriri shook her head and said, "Since we are going to celebrate with everyone at school, I will naturally give it to you when we are at school. I have already left the gift with Shiyu, and you will be able to see it this afternoon."

"Well~~~ Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Looking at Eriri, there was a smile in Asakura Kaede's eyes.

For the past ten years, Kaede Asakura has only celebrated her birthday at home with her parents. Her mother would cook a sumptuous dinner, buy a cake, and give her a birthday gift she wanted.

But starting from this year, I guess every year will be different.

After arriving at school, classmates all wished him a happy birthday, which made Asakura Feng stunned.

After sitting down, he looked at Kitamura Yusaku who was walking over and asked, "Could it be you who said that?"

"Yeah, I told everyone that today is your birthday."

Kitamura Yusaku smiled and nodded, "You should be thankful that I told you this after I arrived at class today. If I had told you this a few days earlier, I'm sure the girls in our class would have been thinking about preparing birthday presents for you. By that time, your family would probably be really jealous."

"...Thank you so much."

Asakura Kaede glared at Kitamura Yusaku speechlessly, but at the same time she felt a little relieved in her heart.

If I really meet Eriri, I'll be holding a bunch of birthday gifts from girls, and it will be hard to explain no matter how generous Eriri is.

There's nothing wrong with giving gifts between friends, but if you give gifts to a group of girls, it would be strange if there weren't any problems.

During lunch, Eriri heard Kitamura Yusaku talking about this matter. She immediately glared at the guy sitting opposite her and said unhappily, "It seems that Kitamura, you just want to stir up trouble. Do you believe that in the future, when we have dinner together, we will eat meat and you will eat vegetables?"

"Ahahaha~~~ I was wrong. I won't do that again next time!"

Kitamura immediately gave in. Going to Asakura Kaede and Eriri's house for gatherings and dinners has become a routine for everyone. Wouldn't it be too miserable if he were the only one without meat to eat?

At the long dining table, Oosaka Taiga, who also came today, asked, "So, after class this afternoon, come to the art club, right?"

"Yes, just come over when the time comes."

Asakura Feng nodded and said, "There is enough space in the art department. We have already applied to Mr. Xiaoshan. We can have some fun today. No problem."

"Great! We have cake and eat it!"

Even though she, a rookie, already knows how to bake cakes, Oosaka Taiga still prefers others to make them so she can eat them herself.

"It's forbidden!" xN

In addition to the comics of Eriri and Asakura Kaede recently, the Chainsaw Man serialized in Jump at the same time has also produced many memes, and the "Yeah!" meme is one of them. Everyone instinctively exclaimed after hearing it, which scared Ohsaka Taiga.

"No...no? What the hell?"

Oosaka Taiga didn't react. He just stared at everyone blankly, wondering if he had said something wrong.

Afterwards, after explanations from Subaru Uchimaki and Yusaku Kitamura, Taiga Oosaka finally understood what the plot was all about.

"Hey~~~Chainsaw Man, I haven't read this comic and I don't like the style. But from what you guys said it seems quite interesting? I'll take a look when I get back."

Originally, he wanted to take a look at it in his free time in the afternoon, but considering that he had been slacking off in class and got ganked by the teacher more than once, Osaka Taiga had to give up this idea.

With everyone's anticipation, after the afternoon class, everyone quickly packed up and headed to the art club activity room. And everyone's schedule today was very uniform, no one needed to be on duty, even Kitamura Yusaku and Kushieda Minori, who suspended today's softball club activities and took a day off.

After Eriri left the classroom, she separated from Usami and went to Asakura Kaede's classroom first. She said to him, "Kaede-kun, let's wait for a while! We'll go over after everyone has gone!"

Asakura Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, do you still need to prepare in the club?"

"Hey, that's right!" Ying Lili said happily, "This is the first time that everyone is celebrating someone's birthday together at school, so we have to prepare for it, right?"

"Okay, I'll see what you can do." Holding Eriri's hand openly in the aisle, Asakura Feng asked, "By the way, have you prepared drinks? If not, let's go buy some first. They still have to decorate the activity room anyway."

"I'm sure of that. I didn't buy it." Ying Lili was obviously very familiar with the progress on the other side, and said without hesitation, "Then let's go buy some drinks. I want to drink Coke!"

"You just got better a few days ago, and you want to drink something cold again?"

Ying Lili smiled innocently, shook Asakura Feng's hand and said, "Buy it, I'll drink a little, and the rest is for you, Feng Jun!"

"That's fine."

So in order to give everyone more time to prepare, the two of them went to the school's small shop and bought some more drinks, mostly hot drinks, with only a few carbonated drinks.

Holding a big bag, Ying Lili said excitedly, "When I was celebrating my birthday at home before, my parents would invite people to our house for birthday parties. But I didn't like that at all. It was boring. I had to change into a party dress and couldn't have fun. So after a few times, I resisted in my eyes, and my parents stopped doing that. We just had a simple meal together, and then I played games happily in my room all night!"

"I see, what you want most is to play games."

Chi Chi smiled and scratched Ying Lili's nose, saying, "I'm the same. For me, there's no need to make a lavish birthday celebration. A simple celebration with a few people is fine. This is the first time I've celebrated like today in more than a decade."

"Hey, me too. This is my first time celebrating someone's birthday with my friends."

"Then, let's celebrate your birthday next March, Eriri. We can have a party at home and make it more lively then."

"Okay! Let's do it!"

As they were talking, the two arrived at the door of the Art Department.

Asakura Kaede and Eriri looked at each other, and at Eriri's instigation, they pushed open the door of the activity room.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

"Happy birthday!!!"

Chapter 290 Birthday Party in the Club (2/3)

As soon as she pushed the door open, Asakura Kaede was greeted by small fireworks in everyone's hands. In an instant, all kinds of small sequins and colorful ribbons fell on the heads of Asakura Kaede and Eriri.

"Wow! How come I'm also affected? You guys watch out!!!"

Holding the fireworks that had already been set off, Kitamura Yusaku said with a sly smile, "Hahaha, this wave is an advance rehearsal. I'm 100% sure that in a few years, we will definitely use these props in more formal occasions."

Takasu Ryuji, who was standing by, heard Kitamura Yusaku say this for the first time and asked in confusion, "What occasion? How come I don't know? Ah!"

As soon as I asked, Oosaka Taiga lifted his calf, looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Are you stupid? Of course it's the wedding scene!"

"Oh, oh~~~~ I see, I see. We really need to practice it!"

After the truth was revealed, everyone looked at the two people who walked in with ambiguous eyes.

As the protagonist of today, Asakura Kaede actually thought of this, so she was not shy at all. Instead, she raised her hand with a smile on her face and took off the scattered ribbons on her head.

Eriri was totally unprepared. She hid behind Asakura Kaede with a red face and shouted, "Why do you need to practice? It will take several years!"

"Alala, don't deny the wedding."

"Well, I won't deny it."

"Ahhh! Stop it, have you forgotten it's official?"

It was not until Eriri came out from behind Asakura Kaede with a blushing face that everyone stopped joking and pulled the two of them to the birthday cake that had been prepared.

The candles on the cake have been lit, marking that today is Kaede Asakura's 17th birthday.

Looking at the cake and the friends gathered around it, Asakura Kaede couldn't help but be moved and said, "Thank you all for your careful preparations. I am so touched."

The minister folded his arms and said with a smile, "Put aside your touching words for now and make a wish and blow out the candles."

"Yes, yes, make a wish!"

"Make a wish quickly, or the candle will burn down!"

Takasu Ryuji also said, "Should we sing the birthday song?"

You have to sing!

So when Asakura Kaede closed her eyes and started making a wish, everyone sang the birthday song together.

The singing activities that were not usually carried out started at this moment, and everyone's singing ability was immediately demonstrated. The girls' performances were all quite good, while the boys' were mixed. Only Subaru Uchimaki performed slightly better unexpectedly. The minister, Kitamura, and Takasu were all more tragic than each other.

Fortunately, it was just the birthday song. If it had been replaced with something else, people would probably have stopped it immediately.

After making a wish, Asakura Feng opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in front of him in one breath.

"Feng Jun, Feng Jun, what wish did you make?"

When Asakura Feng heard this, he looked at Eriri speechlessly and said, "I've already made a wish, and it won't work if you say it out loud."

“Ah~~~~”

"That's right, Sawamura, don't ask anymore." Kitamura Yusaku said at the right time, then picked up a gift box on the chair and handed it to Asakura Kaede, "Here, happy birthday."

"Thanks."

"And ours too!"

Immediately afterwards, Asakura Kaede received several birthday presents, one from Takasu Ryuji, a large one from Oosaka Taiga and Kushieda Minori, one from Uchimaki Subaru, one from the chief, one from Usami, and one from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Finally, after her arms were full of gifts, Eriri took out the birthday present she had prepared for a long time from the cabinet in the activity room.

"And mine!"

Looking at the pile of birthday gifts, Asakura Feng smiled and said, "There are so many. Should I open them?"

"Quick release, quick release!"

"That's right. We don't know what gift the other person chose. We only said the type, but there shouldn't be any duplicates."

After placing the gifts and cutting the cake later, Asakura Kaede began to open the gifts.

I have to say that the gifts everyone gave were really varied, including anti-radiation glasses, figures, limited edition signed comics and so on.

Fortunately, he didn't give her anything weird. At least they were all things that Asakura Kaede could use or liked.

Eriri also gave Asakura Kaede a pair of new headphones. It just so happened that the one he was currently using was a bit old. Although she didn't say it, Eriri still noticed it and went straight to buy a new one, which was much better than the original one.

Looking at the dazzling array of gifts, Asakura Feng scratched his head and said, "Thank you, everyone. I like all the gifts very much. I'm sorry for the expense you guys spent."

Now that we have looked at the gifts, it’s time to cut the cake.

Oosaka Taiga stared at the cream fruit cake for a long time, and after Asakura Kaede started to cut it, he quickly said, "Give me a big piece, a bigger one!"

Asakura Feng really gave her a big one, which made her very excited.

After that, it was naturally time for everyone to eat cake, chat and relax together. Although there were no other special big activities, it was still very lively with everyone getting together like this.

It was not until the evening that everyone packed up and left the school and went home.

Although Asakura Kaede and Eriri will still return to the apartment, before that, they will go to Asakura Kaede's house first. Eriri's parents will also be there today, and the two families will have a meal together to celebrate for Asakura Kaede.

Holding Asakura Kaede's arm, Eriri said happily, "I wonder what Aunt Reiko will prepare tonight. She said yesterday that she would prepare a feast!"

Asakura Feng held the birthday present she received in one hand, and Eriri held the other hand. She smiled and said, "Anyway, no matter what it is, it must be delicious. But Eriri, do we still have to go back after dinner tonight?"

"Yes! Can't we spend the rest of your birthday together?"

Asakura Feng didn't expect Eriri to say that. He looked at the girl in surprise and nodded, "Okay."

"Hehe~~~ Then let's go back quickly. According to the schedule, the bus will be here in a few minutes!"

Holding Asakura Kaede, Eriri walked towards the bus stop with full of anticipation, while at the same time she was thinking about the last plan for tonight.

Taking the bus, the two arrived at the Asakura family.

As soon as he opened the door, Asakura Feng saw two extra pairs of shoes at the entrance. It seemed that Eriri's parents had already arrived.

"We are back~~~"

Along with the sound of the door opening and Asakura Kaede's shout, footsteps were heard soon. Asakura Reiko, wearing an apron and holding a shovel in her hand, trotted over and said with a smile, "You're back. Come in quickly. We've been waiting for you."

"Mom, are you preparing dinner so soon?"

"We agreed to have a big dinner today, so of course I have to prepare it well!"

After changing into slippers and coming to the living room, Asakura Feng saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting on the sofa.

Chapter 291 Night Battle (3/3)

When Sayuri Sawamura saw the two people coming in, she immediately laughed at the huge scarf in Eriri's hand: "Oh my, Eriri, you actually bought such a scarf? It must be very eye-catching when you wear it out, right?"

"Hey, it's okay~"
