My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"Hehe, isn't it meaningless if you talk about this kind of thing out loud?" Asakura Kaede had a mysterious smile on his face and refused to tell Eriri the answer.

Although I know that what Asakura Kaede said makes sense, I still want to know the answer.

Asakura Kaede also knew about it, but Eriri was a fan of Megumin, so she really couldn't say it. After all, there were some clues in the fifth volume which had not been released yet. Let Eriri read it and make her own guess when she goes back.

Eriri puffed up her cheeks, feeling that she always suffered a loss in front of Asakura Kaede. Even today when her identity was exposed, the other party knew about it very early on.

Wait, I think I discovered something.

Looking at Asakura Kaede who was walking beside her, Eriri said, reminiscing: "Asakura, when we were in the library before, it seemed like you called me by my name directly?"

Asakura Feng was also quite surprised and said, "Huh? I thought you already knew about it and didn't object. If you don't like it, you can change back to the previous name."

"Uh... no need, just leave it like that, it's just a name."

Although she said that, Eriri's face was still a little red, but under the setting sun, it was not that obvious.

After the bus arrived at the stop and watching Eriri get on and leave, Asakura Kaede also took the train and went home.

Night at Sawamura's house.

After dinner, Eriri gave the business cooperation contract to her mother Sayuri Sawamura to read.

"Well, there's no problem with the contract. If you're willing, Eriri, just sign it. Illustrations for light novels aren't that tiring."

"I thought so too. The novel is indeed quite interesting, but the characters are a bit troublesome."

After putting the contract away, Eriri sat on the bed with her hands on her knees and talked about what happened in the library today.

When talking about the fact that her classmate in the art club was actually a light novel writer, Sayuri Sawamura's expression did not change at all, she just had a faint smile.

Obviously, she already knew about this.

Sayuri Sawamura basically knew about Asakura Kaede's family situation and there was no problem at all. Asakura Kaede had no bad record from childhood to adulthood. She had even always been top in her studies and had become a published light novelist before high school.

She was of good height and good looks, and shared the same hobbies as Eriri. More importantly, her daughter had a crush on Asakura Kaede, even though she herself might not have realized it.

"Humph, but this guy is pretty reliable. He knew to hide his identity and scare me. He invited me to the newly opened maid cafe in Akihabara on the weekend!"

Speaking of this, an excited smile appeared on Eriri's face.

After hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura's smile gradually widened.

"Oh, are you going on a date? Then let mom give you some advice on how to get you a nice outfit tomorrow night!"

"Huh? A date?" Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, her fair face instantly flushed, and she waved her hands around as she explained, "It's not a date! It's just compensation for his apology to me!"

"Isn't that a date too?"

Coming over and gently hugging her daughter's shoulders, Sayuri Sawamura said, "Eri, do you have a photo of that child?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Show it to mom, and I'll give you some advice."

"Don't make trouble!!!"

In the end, since she couldn't blame Sayuri Sawamura, Eriri could only show her mother the photos of the cherry blossom viewing event on her phone.

"Hmm~~~ He's a very handsome boy." Sayuri Sawamura looked at Asakura Kaede sitting next to Eriri in the photo and said with a smile, "And your hobbies overlap, isn't that great? Don't worry, Eriri, mom doesn't mind you dating at this time!"

"I told you that's not the case! I won't talk to you anymore, get out of here now, I have to do my homework!"

After breaking free, she managed to push her smiling mother out of the room. After locking the door, Eriri threw herself directly onto her bed, rolling around while hugging the pillow.

After flipping through it twice, he stopped and looked at the photo on the phone next to his head. The figure of Asakura Kaede, his face became even hotter.

As for Asakura Kaede, she naturally had no idea that Eriri was already so excited by her mother's excitement that she was concentrating on doing her homework.

But at this moment, he was in a very happy mood.

Eriri didn't mind me calling her by her name, and I accepted the weekend invitation after being a little bit arrogant. On Saturday, it seemed like I could get closer to Eriri.

Chapter 32 Little Tiger

Friday is the last day of school this week.

When Eriri came to class with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, Usami Mizuki came over and asked with concern: "Eri, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes? Are you okay?"

Shaking her head, Ying Lili said, "It's okay, it's just that my sleep quality is a little bad. I'll just go to the art department to rest at noon and I'll be fine."

Last night, after her mother's teasing, Ying Lili couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Saturday is coming soon, and I have to go to Akihabara as I promised, but does what happens on Saturday count as a date?

Eriri's mind was full of these thoughts after she finished. Although she was a fan artist, she had read a wide range of romance comics and animations, and all kinds of classic scenes kept replaying in her mind after she finished.

This resulted in dark circles under my eyes when I woke up this morning. Even though I put on some light makeup, they were still quite obvious.

As soon as she finished speaking, Eriri remembered that she had forced Asakura Kaede to accompany her in the art club at noon.

He quickly grabbed Usami who was about to go back to her seat and said, "Mizuki, accompany me to the art club at noon."

"Huh? Ah, sure."

Usami just thought that Eriri would be scared because she was alone, so she agreed without giving it much thought.

After saying thank you and watching Usami sit back, Eriri also leaned over her desk, covering her face with her hands to cover her blushing face again.

Ahhh, this is so annoying...

It’s all this guy Asakura’s fault!

"Ah!"

On the other side, in Class C, Kaede Asakura sneezed for no apparent reason, scaring Kitamura Yusaku and Takasu Ryuji who were chatting with him.

"Asakura, do you have a cold?" Kitamura pushed his glasses and asked with concern, "If you have a cold, go to the infirmary and get some medicine later. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you keep delaying."

"You think too much."

Rubbing his nose, Asakura Feng said, "I'm in good health. I haven't caught a cold yet. Someone must be talking about me behind my back."

"Ah~~ Is this happening to you too? Did you do something bad?"

Kitamura patted Asakura Kaede's shoulder and said with a smirk on his face.

"You're overthinking it. I've always been a three-good student since I was young."

After hearing this, Kitamura immediately looked at Takasu Ryuji standing beside him and said, "Takasu, do you believe this?"

"Hmm... this is very suspicious."

"..."

Asakura Kaede didn't bother to pay attention to these two guys.

Because today is Friday, there is only one class in the afternoon, and after that all the time is spent on club activities.

After packing up, Asakura Feng prepared to go to the club. He had missed a day yesterday, so he had to go today. He also hadn't drawn much in the past few days, so he had to practice today.

On the way to the Art Department, walking in the corridor, Asakura Kaede vaguely heard two people having a conversation below through the window next to her.

"Minori! You're done training today, how about we go get something to eat? I found a dessert shop!"

"But, my training will take a long time today. Is that okay with you, Taiga?"

"It's okay, I'll just sit next to you!"

Hearing this conversation, Asakura Feng stopped and looked out the window, then saw two girls walking towards the playground together.

One has short red hair, the other has long brown hair, one is tall and the other is short, they were talking and laughing.

"Emmm~~~Isn't this the little tiger? And that Kushieda Minori." Touching his chin, Asakura Kaede whispered, "Come to think of it, Takasu said he wanted to go home and do some spring cleaning today since it's Friday. What a pity."

"What's a pity?"

Eriri's voice suddenly came from behind, scaring Asakura Feng.

"It's Eriri, why are you walking silently?"

"Who said that?" Ying Lili said dissatisfiedly, "I make noise when I walk! It's just that you didn't notice it!"

As she spoke, she walked over to Asakura Kaede and looked down.

"Hmm? Aren't those Oosaka Taiga and Kushieda Minori from Class E?"

"you know?"

Eriri nodded and said, "We had a physical education class together before, so we got to know each other. Kushieda is a very cheerful and easy to get along with person, but Oosaka Taiga seems to have a bit of a weird personality. She just likes to stick to Kushieda, so I don't talk to her much. Do you know them?"

"I don't know him, I just know him." Asakura Kaede shrugged and said, "You know Kitamura Yusaku from my class, right? He and Kushieda Minori are both in the softball club, so I know a little bit."

Asakura Feng turned his gaze away from the two people who were walking away, looked at Eriri beside him, and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Usami?"

"Ruixi is on duty today, so I came here first."

"Well, let's go to the art department together."

The two walked together, and Asakura Feng looked at Eriri, who seemed a little reserved, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Tomorrow, what time and where do we meet?"

"Eh? What time?"

"Of course we're going to Akihabara. Don't you want to go?"

"Ah!" Ying Lili reacted and said immediately, "Let's go, what time do you think is good?"

"Well... although it's Saturday and we have a day to play, we should not go out too late. Let's meet at the station at 9: and take the train together. How about that?"

Seeing Eriri's expression as if she had never thought about it, Asakura Kaede simply decided on the time and place himself.

Eriri also agreed without any problem: "Okay, then 9:."

"Let's make a deal first. To prevent you from being late tomorrow, Eriri, let's not play games tonight."

"Huh? Why did you say I would be late?"

"When you drag me to play games on the weekends, we always play until late at night. I'm fine, but Eriri, you must have slept until noon the next day, right?" Asakura Feng looked at Eriri and said with a smile, "Besides, if we go out to play without being in good spirits, we won't have fun, right?"

"That...okay then."

Although she agreed, Asakura Feng felt that with Eriri's personality, she would definitely play games alone at night, or watch anime or something.

"By the way, Eriri, have you decided on the subject matter for the summer doujinshi exhibition? How about some pure love this time? I'm not likely to buy those that are always about bondage and humiliation."

"Don't talk about this in school!"

Eriri never expected that Asakura Kaede would bring up this topic directly. Her face immediately turned red and she raised her hand to cover Asakura Kaede's mouth. The two of them just stood there in a stalemate in the corridor of the teaching building.

Feeling the warmth of Eriri's palm, Asakura Feng did not struggle. He looked at Eriri quietly and watched the temperature on Eriri's face rise rapidly.

Chapter 33 Art Department Mission for the School Anniversary

The distance between the two at this moment was closer than ever before.

Feeling the warmth of Eriri's palm on his lips, Asakura Feng was in a very happy mood at the moment. He didn't make any extra movements and just looked at Eriri.

And Eriri, after making the move to stop Asakura Kaede, reacted immediately.

It was her first time to be so close to a boy. She felt shy and extremely overwhelmed.

If this were a comic, Eriri's eyes should have started to circle by now, right?

Seeing that Eriri didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head in confusion, but her hands were still covering her mouth, Asakura Feng knew that this would only take a short while. If one or two people suddenly came out and interrupted her, that would not be good.

Taking Eriri's hand away, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Okay, I apologize, and I won't say that in school anymore."

"Hmph...this...this is more like it."

Putting her hands behind her back, Eriri puffed up her cheeks and said, "You definitely did this on purpose, right?"

"Of course not. I am indeed very curious. After all, I also went to the Winter Fan Expo at the end of last year. However, I didn't like the subject matter of the book you published at that time."

As he spoke, Asakura Kaede started walking again.

Eriri quickly followed and whispered, "So, you're not my fan at all, right? If you were my fan, you would buy whatever I released."

"People like that are usually just old perverts who just want to rush forward. After all, Eriri, your book is indeed very suitable as a spellcasting tool."

"You guys, how dare you discuss this kind of topic with a girl?"
