My Cartoonist Girlfriend

While eating French fries, Ishigami Yu asked, "Are you not worried about the live show at all? Even though it's a performance at your own school, how many people will come?"

"Probably not many."

"kindness?"

Ishigami Yu looked at Asakura Kaede in surprise: "I thought you were going to say something like the seat was full."

"How is that possible? I'm not an idealist." Shaking his head, Asakura Feng said calmly, "Those little girls have just started their activities and have no popularity. Even if they handed out flyers in their own school, you know the current situation of Otonogizaka. How many students will care about this sudden appearance of school idol group? It's good enough that they can take care of their own business."

"Then aren't you worried that this defeat will make them lose confidence?"

"I've talked to them about this a long time ago." Asakura Feng said with a smile, "I told them straight away before, don't expect to be the center of attention from the beginning, especially for a group like them that has no fame at all. They all started out in obscurity. If they can't stand the blow of no one coming to see them from the beginning, then it's better to disband as soon as possible."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really cruel, you can say such things." Ishigami Yu listened and smiled. This statement is in line with Asakura Kaede's character. After all, Honoka and the others' goal is not just to be idols, but also to save the school that can no longer operate. They must have sufficient determination to face any possible problems.

"So, how did they answer you?"

After thinking about it, Asakura said, "Umi and Kotori looked a little nervous at the time, but Honoka was determined and believed that they would succeed. And Honoka also said that if it doesn't work once, then try two or three more times until you succeed."

"Honoka?"

Ishigami Yuu's mind flashed with the lively but somewhat silly face of Kousaka Honoka, and he chuckled, "She unexpectedly has quite a bit of personality."

"That's one of the reasons why I think they can achieve something." Asakura Feng glanced at the vibrating phone beside him, picked it up and said with a smile, "It's just like I guessed. There are not many people in the school auditorium of Otonogizaka."

He showed his phone to Ishigami Yu, and on the screen was a photo taken by Eriri. There were no other spectators in the auditorium except for a few girls sitting there and a few girls hiding behind the chairs for unknown reasons.

"Tsk, tsk, this is really miserable."

Ishigami Yu said with emotion: "Even street singers probably don't have it this bad. It seems that Otonokizaka is indeed not lively enough now."

"That's right. After all, the school has posted a notice that the school might be closed next year. It's already pretty good that these students are still studying hard now."

After putting his phone away, Asakura sent a message to Eriri, and then said, "But it's not hopeless. Honoka said that she has found someone in school who can write songs for them. Although Honoka is usually silly, her vision and intuition are still very accurate when it comes to key matters. It won't be a problem to recruit a few more people. Eriri and I will help them promote it when the time comes."

"Do you need my help too?"

"you?"

Asakura Feng looked at Ishigami Yu and asked with a smile: "Sure, don't you often post game guides online? You have a certain number of fans, so you can help promote it when the time comes."

After Ishigami Yu gradually became more cheerful in the past two years, he started with his favorite games at the suggestion of Kaede Asakura, and then launched game guides and some reviews. Because of his hardcore gaming skills and good vision, he has accumulated some fans during this period.

However, this guy still wasn’t able to appear in person in the videos, he just did the dubbing himself behind the scenes.

After thinking for a while, Asakura Feng said, "Well... let's wait until the live is over and you watch the video that Eriri filmed before making a decision. You can't let the popularity you have worked so hard to accumulate become a problem."

Although Asakura Feng is very confident in Honoka and the others, she cannot be 100% sure whether they have put in enough effort in rehearsals until she sees their performance.

"Well, but I think it should be pretty good."

Next, after the performance was over, Asakura Kaede and the other two started playing the game seriously.

"Um, Asakura, do you think we can get in if we dress up as women?"

"You're really thinking about this?!"

.........

After Eriri and the others went to Otonogizaka, it took much longer than Asakura Kaede expected. More than an hour later, he received a call from Eriri, and he arrived at the gate of Otonogizaka with Ishigami Yu.

At the school gate, everyone was already waiting there, including Honoka, Umi and Kotonari.

Seeing Asakura Feng coming over, Honoka waved her hand happily: "Brother Feng! Hurry up!"

"I'm coming, what's the hurry?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Asakura Kaede and Ishigami Yu came in front of the crowd.

Looking at Honoka and the other two, Asakura Feng asked, "How does it feel to perform on stage?"

He didn't ask how many people were there, he just asked about how it felt during the performance.

Honoka said without hesitation, "It's great! It feels great to sing and dance on the stage. I fell in love with it right away!"

But then she scratched her head in embarrassment: "Today, there were no audiences in the school auditorium, even though we handed out flyers everywhere. If it weren't for Eriri and the others coming, we wouldn't even be able to gather ten audiences! But we will work hard, and sooner or later, we will fill up the auditorium!"

Umi and Kotoori beside them also nodded vigorously.

Patting Honoka's head with satisfaction, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "It's good to have such a character. You should keep working hard. But it's getting late now. Let's go and I'll take you to a big meal to reward you."

"Oh!!! Great meal!!!"

When she heard there was going to be a feast, Honoka instantly changed from her serious face back to her original foodie self and jumped up excitedly.

Seeing this, Umi quickly grabbed her and said, "Honoka, you are going to be an idol now, you must control your diet!"

"well!!!!!"

Chapter 491 Agreement and Digging a Trap (1/2)

Since she said she would take him out for a big meal, Asakura Kaede naturally wouldn't go back on her word. As for weight, Umi was watching over her anyway, so Honoka wouldn't get too fat if she was left alone.

Driving one car, together with Fujiwara Chika's car and a taxi, the group arrived at the private room of the restaurant that they had booked.

After sitting down, Asakura Feng handed the menu brought by the waiter to Honoka: "Here, just order whatever you want, no need to save money for me. But after today's big meal, you have to continue to work hard next time, Honoka."

"Hey, I know!"

Honoka opened the menu and looked at the dazzling array of delicacies. Her eyes widened and she swallowed her saliva. She quickly ordered dishes to the waitress who came over: "This, this, and this..."

Others don't need to look at the menu, they just need to choose the drinks they want. As for ordering food, Honoka, a foodie, can do it all by herself.

After ordering, Honoka closed the menu and said contentedly, "Okay, these are all for now. If not, order more!"

The waiter was very happy when looking at the large pile of things, because there were many dishes among them, and the unit price was not cheap at all.

After the waiter left, Umi, who was beside Honoka, grabbed Honoka's cheeks with both hands, glared at her and said, "Honoka! How can you be so rude and order so many things!"

"Woo..."

With her cheeks pulled up by Umi, Honoka said incoherently: "Lake... Didn't Brother Feng ask me to order it?"

"That can't be the case!"

As a lady who has been brought up since childhood, Umi would never do such a thing, and neither would Kotonari. Only Hono was brave enough.

Asakura Feng smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Umi. Honoka has a good eye for food. As long as the food tastes good, it's fine. And I saw that Honoka ordered the food that you all like, so don't blame her anymore."

"Yes, yes!"

Nodding, Honoka rubbed her face pitifully and said, "I've been thinking about finding delicious food for you guys!"

After hearing what Honoka said, Umi felt embarrassed to say anything to her anymore. After all, they were good friends.

Looking at Asakura Kaede, Umi blushed and said, "Senior, I'm sorry to have cost you money."

"It's just a small matter. You've worked hard in today's performance. Eat more later. Only after eating more will you have the strength to continue training. Umi, you have to keep a close eye on Honoka from now on. This girl likes to be lazy."

Umi nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand!"

"Hey!!! Why? I won't be lazy!"

At this time, Qin Li, who had been silent the whole time, said weakly: "But, Guoguo, you were lazy during practice the day before yesterday, and you even ate two pieces of bread secretly."

"Forehead......"

For a moment, the private room was filled with laughter.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Honoka, whose expression was extremely amused, and whispered, "It's better to look at her like this now. When she was singing on the stage just now, she was completely two different people."

"Yeah, that's right." Eriri agreed with this very much. "Maybe this is what it means to be a natural idol. The same goes for Umi and Kotonari. They're really suitable. I now kind of believe what Kaede said. If they work hard, they can really save Otonogizaka."

"Well, let's wait and see. If it succeeds, it can be said that it has never been done before." A smile appeared on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face. "Becoming an idol and saving a school, even novels don't dare to write about it."

"Well, reality is often more magical than fiction, isn't it?"

Everyone had a lively dinner, and Asakura Kaede was very happy when paying the bill.

But looking at the prices on the bill, Honoka, who ordered a lot of food at the beginning and added a lot of desserts later, felt extremely scared.

"Oh...Luckily it was Brother Feng who paid the bill, otherwise I would have to be pawned here."

Umi unceremoniously stretched out her finger and poked Honoka's forehead: "With your appetite, even if you mortgage it here, the restaurant won't want you!"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

Honoka stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, not daring to talk back.

Asakura Feng didn't care. Although the meal was indeed a little expensive, it was far from what he could afford.

Patting Honoka's head, Asakura Feng asked, "Did you enjoy your meal today?"

"Yeah, happy!"

Touching her bulging belly, Honoka's eyes sparkled with the satisfaction of a foodie: "They are all delicious!"

"In that case, how about we make a deal?" Asakura Feng narrowed his eyes, looked at Honoka and said, "Honoka, you should work hard in the next training, strive to get a good ranking in the lovelive competition, and help Otonogizaka overcome the difficulties. If you do, I will take you to a better restaurant for a big meal as a reward. And if you find other partners during this period, you can call everyone over then."

"really?"

Honoka didn't hear anything else, her attention was completely focused on what Asakura Kaede said about the "better restaurant".

"Of course, I never lied to you, did I?"

"Well...it's settled then!"

Honoka clenched her fists and said seriously, "I wanted to go to school anyway. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have done it!"

"Well, it's a deal then. I look forward to your performance, Honoka."

While nodding happily, Asakura Feng glanced at Umi beside him inconspicuously.

When Umi met Asakura Kaede's gaze, she understood clearly that this was an obvious trap for Honoka, but this girl still foolishly agreed to it.

However, these are not things that Umi needs to consider. She even hopes that Honoka will practice hard every day and not be lazy at all.

Kotonari's idea was similar to Umi's. She stared at Asakura Kaede with her beautiful big eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the senior was really good and knew how to fool Guoguo.

After leaving the restaurant, it was almost time and everyone was ready to go home as they had to go back to do their homework in the evening.

Asakura Kaede drove Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Oosaka Taiga back to the apartment.

On the way, Oosaka Taiga looked at Asakura Kaede in the driver's seat and asked, "Asakura, what do you think of the video of Honoka and the others' performance?"

"It's OK, but there's still a lot of room for improvement." Asakura Feng said while driving, "Although Umi has a solid foundation in traditional dance, it seems that she still needs to get used to this kind of stage choreography. But with what happened today, they should be able to recruit people soon."

In the video recorded by Eriri, Asakura Kaede saw that after the performance, the student council president of Otonogizaka also appeared on the screen.

There are even several other girls who appear in various corners of the screen.

It just depends on when all the people can be officially gathered together.

Chapter 492 μ's (2/2)

After returning home, they said goodbye to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Oosaka Taiga, and Asakura Kaede and Eriri returned home.

After playing with the cat for a while, Eriri went to take a shower, while Asakura Kaede went to the study, turned on the computer, connected Eriri's mobile phone, and then directed the performance video of Honoka and the others that she had shot.

In order to ensure the quality of the shooting, Ying Lili proudly brought a tripod with her today to fix it, so the pictures taken were very stable.

"Well, I cut out some unnecessary clips at the beginning and the end, and it's almost there. The sound quality recorded in the Otonokizaka auditorium is much better than I thought."

Looking at the edited video, Asakura Feng nodded with satisfaction, but he did not choose to upload it online right away.

If my memory is correct, someone will naturally upload it. Asakura Kaede will keep this copy in his hand and wait and see the quality of other versions. If it is not bad, he will keep his own copy as a souvenir.

After saving the edited video, Asakura Kaede opened the official website of the lovelive competition. After scrolling the mouse twice, she saw the performance video of Honoka and the others.

"As expected, the so-called student council presidents are all hypocritical but honest."

The clues in the memory were not wrong, which brought a smile to Asakura Kaede's face.

The door opened and Eriri walked in wearing pajamas after taking a shower.

As soon as she came in, she saw the screen on Asakura Feng's computer and asked in surprise, "Feng Jun, have you uploaded the video to the Internet?"

"I didn't do it. I just opened the website and saw the video."

"Ugh?"
