My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Moreover, Kasumigaoka Utaha is still a student, and her daily expenses are definitely less than mine. Even if she has bought a car now, the savings in her bank card are still much more than mine.

Although the authors under her have high incomes and her income as an editor will also increase accordingly, when comparing her age with that of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Machida Sonoko still feels a little unhappy.

Looking at the BMW car key that Eriri was observing in her hand, Machida Sonoko muttered quietly: "Should I change my car too?"

Just as he finished speaking, the editor Nakajima said, "Don't do these things. Your car has only been in use for less than two years, right? Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a house?"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

After being exposed by editor Nakajima, Machida Sonoko also showed an embarrassed smile.

After checking the key, Eriri returned it to Kasumigaoka Utaha and asked, "So, you drove here by yourself? Aren't you afraid?"

"well enough."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile: "After I got my driver's license, I always asked my dad to accompany me on weekends and practice with his car. I have already driven on the road many times. Apart from other things, as long as there is no traffic congestion, I have no problem."

"Oh~~~"

Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with surprise, she didn't know all this.

But in this case, there will be no problem and I don't have to worry about being scared when riding in her car.

Asakura Feng had a similar idea. If today was the first time that Kasumigaoka Utaha hit a car after getting her driver's license, Asakura Feng naturally wouldn't dare to get in.

But think about it, this is unlikely. If it was really the first day when the car had an accident, there is no way that Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents would let her drive here by herself.

The original intention of Kasumigaoka Utaha coming here today was to find someone to have dinner with, so after Asakura Kaede finished talking about the novel with editor Nakajima, everyone went out to eat together.

Asakura Kaede and Eriri rode in Kasumigaoka Utaha's car, while the two editors drove their own cars.

After getting into the back seat of the car, Ying Lili looked at the decoration inside the car and said, "Hey~~ I saw it once before when I went to buy a car. Now I see that it's still pretty good. Fengjun, are we buying a BMW as well?"

"We'll see when the time comes. I don't care what brand you buy, as long as it's safe."

While starting the car, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Asakura-kun, you really don't plan to buy a sports car? When I heard you say you wouldn't buy one before, I thought you were joking. Boys generally like sports cars, right?"

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "I like it, but liking it doesn't mean I have to buy it. As for sports cars, I don't go to the racetrack to play with them. Driving them in the city has no practical use other than showing off. And I'm not the kind of bored rich second generation who drives a sports car to pick up girls. The use of sports cars for me is basically zero."

As for the car purchase, Asakura Kaede will probably plan it for next year. He will see if there are any new models that are good and buy it directly. He is not the type who hesitates when buying things, and he doesn't have to worry about being ripped off because he knows the people there.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha is a novice driver, she drives quite steadily. After the initial nervousness, Eriri was no longer worried at all.

"Shiyu, after you buy a car, do you plan to not live in a dormitory at university? Will you live at home and drive to school?"

"I didn't plan to stay overnight anyway, and my home isn't far away." While driving, keeping an eye on everything, Kasumigaoka Utaha answered, "But after college, I will probably plan to move out and live on my own, so that I can train myself to live on my own. I can't always rely on my parents. Like you guys, haven't you already moved out and lived for a year? My mom has always told me to learn from you and not be able to do anything except writing."

Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha just happened to think of the problem she had been thinking about before.

"By the way, are there any vacant houses in your apartment building?"

"Hmm? House?"

After a moment of shock, Ying Lili reacted instantly, "You don't want to buy our house, do you?"

"Yeah, isn't it okay?" Kasumigaoka Utaha replied, "I'm going to buy a house sooner or later anyway, so why not pick a place where I know people? It's better than moving directly to a strange place, right?"

"That's true." Nodding, Ying Lili asked, "But houses in our place are quite expensive. Are you sure you want to buy one? Actually, you can rent it. If you really want to buy it, you may have to spend all your income for the past two years on it."

"Of course I know that."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said, "But your house is really good. It has a large space, good security measures, and familiar neighbors. It meets my requirements in every aspect. As for the money, you can earn it back after spending it, right?"

She has indeed made a lot of money from writing books in the past two years, plus the income from animation. Even though she has spent most of her money on buying a house, it does not mean she will stop writing books. As long as there are no problems with her works, she will not have to worry about her income.

Moreover, my popularity has been accumulated thanks to Love Metronome. The sales of my new book are much better than my debut work, and I will receive another sum of royalties next month.

Kasumigaoka Utaha said she was inflated. House? Just buy it!

Although she was a little worried about Kasumigaoka Utaha's wallet, Eriri was naturally very welcome to have her friend move into the same apartment building, so she looked at Asakura Kaede.

Asakura Feng naturally understood Eriri's idea and nodded, "Okay, if you are sure, I will go and ask later. When I was looking at the house before, I left the phone number of my father's friend. I can help you consult first."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Asakura-kun."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very happy. The nervousness she had originally felt about driving had completely disappeared now.

Soon, the group arrived at the reserved restaurant and entered the private room.

Since both editors were driving, they did not order any wine and chose drinks like everyone else.

While eating the delicious meal, they naturally started talking about the topic that the three of them had just discussed in the car.

"Oh~~buying a house."

After listening to this, Editor Nakajima nodded and said, "That's worth considering, especially the apartment building where Xiaofeng and her friends live. Although it's a bit expensive, it's definitely worth buying. Yuanzi, you have to work harder too, and don't let your own authors surpass you in all aspects."

"..."

Machida Sonoko glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha across from her, picked up the cup dejectedly, and drank the Coke in one gulp as if it were wine.

"Hiccup~~~"

This burp without hesitation, Machida Sonoko, the woman who still can't find a boyfriend so far, has found another reason.

Chapter 463 Graduation (1/2)

After eating and drinking, everyone said goodbye and parted at the restaurant entrance.

As soon as Kasumigaoka Utaha got the car and her hands were itching to drive, she immediately became the driver of Asakura Kaede and Eriri and took them home.

It was still early and there was a car available, so Kasumigaoka Utaha did not refuse Eriri's invitation and came up to sit for a while.

"Thank you."

Taking the hot tea handed over by Asakura Kaede, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the living room and said, "Are all the houses here the same size?"

Shaking his head, Asakura Feng said, "As far as I know, ours is the largest. There is another smaller one, with two bedrooms and a living room. The living room is not as big as this one. Well... it's about one-third smaller."

After hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha estimated the size and said with some anticipation, "If I live alone, that size is just right, one bedroom and the other as a study for work."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha was determined to buy the house here, Asakura Feng simply took the opportunity to call his father's friend and ask for advice.

The result is very good. Although the houses here are of good quality, there are still some left because of the relatively high prices, including two-bedroom, one-living-room units.

After the communication, he sent the phone number to Kasumigaoka Utaha and said to Asakura Kaede: "Senior, you can contact him first. If you want to see the house later, just make an appointment. Anyway, it's here, and Eriri and I can accompany you."

After saving the number, Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded happily.

"There's still plenty of time, don't worry, I'll take my time."

The three of them chatted for a while, and at about eight o'clock, Kasumigaoka Utaha said goodbye and drove home.

After seeing the guests off, Eriri was dragged by Asakura Kaede to finish her homework, and then she started drawing comics.

A few days ago, the second volume of the single book was released. Although there is still some gap compared with those sales leaders, the situation is still good, which makes Eriri's mood particularly high when she is working.

While quickly sketching lines with her hands, Ying Lili said, "Feng Jun, do you think I should listen to the editor and hold a book signing event?"

"It's up to you."

Asakura Kaede himself would not do it, but he did not mean to stop Eriri. "You can hold it if you want, but you have to think about it. Book signing events are very tiring. It may be okay for younger authors, but you have good sales, and you are beautiful. If you really hold a book signing event, there will definitely be a lot of people coming. You can refer to Kasumigaoka-senpai for details."

"Of course I know this."

Nodding, Eriri said with some distress: "But after all, they are all my readers. They have bought my single volumes. If I don't hold a book signing event, it seems a bit unreasonable. But book signing events are really tiring. In comparison, it seems to be more tiring than working for a whole day."

Eriri had attended Kasumigaoka Utaha's autograph session before. After the event, Kasumigaoka Utaha was so tired that she couldn't recover even after a whole day's rest.

When she thought of this, Ying Lili began to hesitate about her original idea.

If I go to the book signing event, I won't be able to work properly for the next two days. Even if I can rest, I will be tired in my hands, so I can't play games during the rest time.

There is no profit either way.

"Hmm~~~ Let me think about it. Although Sister Kaori told me about the book signing event, she didn't let me consider it right away."

Licking her lips, Ying Lili felt a little greedy, so she got up and walked out of the studio, and came back with some chips and drinks.

"Hehe~~~"

Asakura Feng looked at the greedy look of the girl and shook his head helplessly, but did not stop her.

You are already exhausted from work, so eat whatever you want, just control the amount.

Most of the bag of potato chips went into Eriri's stomach, and the rest was fed to Asakura Kaede by her.

“I’m full, let’s continue painting!!!”

..........

Time passed quickly, and a year had passed in the leisurely world of Asakura Kaede and Eriri.

The school was very lively on this day because the senior high school students were about to graduate.

After arriving at the auditorium and taking his place in his class, Takasu Ryuji turned around and asked Asakura Kaede who was standing behind him, "Who will give the graduation speech today, Kano-senpai or Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

"It's Kano-senpai."

Asakura Kaede said, "After all, she is the former student council president, and she has already obtained a place to study abroad. Although Kasumigaoka-senpai has also obtained the qualification for Waseda University, it seems that in the end it was decided that Kano-senpai would give the speech. Of course, Kasumigaoka-senpai would rather not have to give the speech herself."

Listening to Asakura Kaede's words, Takasu Ryuji looked around and happened to see the graduates coming in and found Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng."

At this time, in the girls' team next to him, Ying Lili looked at him and whispered: "Shiyu sent me a message. After the graduation ceremony, we will go to the art department to gather. Is that okay?"

"No problem." Asakura nodded, looking at Takasu Ryuji and Uchimaki Subaru, "What about you guys? Are you guys coming too?"

Uchimaki Subaru smiled and said, "Of course he's here. After all, the director is also a graduate, isn't he? Today is the last day of school, so we have to drag him to the art department to have some fun."

Although the director has always had a low sense of presence, he is still the director of the Art Department and everyone's senior. He will definitely not be ignored in such an important event as graduation today.

Soon, the graduation ceremony began, and after the principal finished his speech, he began to award graduation certificates to the graduates.

During this period, everyone saw the minister and Kasumigaoka Utaha go on stage one after another and receive their graduation certificates, marking the official end of their high school career.

After Kano Sumire gave a speech as a representative of the graduates, today's graduation ceremony officially ended.

As soon as she came out and was about to go to the art club, Eriri received a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After a puzzled look, Ying Lili picked up the phone: "Hello, what's going on? Huh? Backdoor?"

After hanging up the phone and asking everyone else to go to the art club with the club leader first, Asakura Kaede and Eriri came to the back door of the school auditorium, where they saw the sneaky Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After seeing the two, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly waved: "Go, go, go, go quickly, help me block it, don't let anyone find me!"

Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's anxious expression and asked, "Um...what's wrong with you?"

Walking towards the Art Department, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a depressed look on her face: "I've graduated. I don't know what happened. As soon as I came here this morning, several people wanted to confess their love to me. I finally refused and came here to attend the graduation ceremony. As soon as it was over, I heard from Kano that there were boys looking for me. I guess they all had the same idea."

Asakura Kaede said with a playful expression: "Well... now that you have graduated, are you letting yourself go?"

Although today is a good day for graduation, Kasumigaoka Utaha is not in a very good mood.

Chapter 464 New Home (2/2)

On the way to the art club, Kasumigaoka Utaha was hiding here and there, fearing that she would be discovered. This made Asakura Kaede and Eriri look particularly surprised, as if they were in the moment when everyone's identities were exposed.

As they walked, Asakura Feng whispered, "It seems that even after graduation, many boys still miss you, senior."

Eriri next to him agreed, "That's right, but I can understand it. After all, this guy's body is so sexy."

"Tsk, you can't envy this."

As Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke, she puffed out her chest proudly, causing Eriri to turn her head away and not look at her.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Art Department safely.

When I came in, except for Yusaku Kitamura who was still busy in the school auditorium, everyone else, including Kellet, had already arrived. They even bought some snacks and drinks and brought them in.

Seeing them arrive, the minister smiled and said, "Hehe, it looks like it's very lively. Just now at the graduation ceremony, I heard that many people around me wanted to confess their love on the day of graduation, including many who wanted to confess to Kasumigaoka."

Shaking her head and pouring herself a cup of Coke, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "It has no meaning except causing me trouble."

Tsk tsk tsk, there is really not a single one of the boys in this year's senior year that Kasumigaoka Utaha is interested in.

But if you think about it carefully, everyone thinks it is quite normal.

Let's first talk about the basics as a student, that is, studying. From the first year to the third year of high school, in every grade exam in school, it was basically either Kasumigaoka Utaha or Kano Sumire who got first place in the grade, and the other one was second. In these three years, 90% of the top two places were occupied by these two people, and no one could beat them.

Even among the top five students in the grade, only occasionally one boy would make it.

So just based on her academic performance, it is enough for Kasumigaoka Utaha to look down upon all the boys in her grade.
