My Cartoonist Girlfriend

When Eriri heard this, she walked over to Asakura Kaede and sat down in his arms. She looked at the computer screen and said in surprise, "What's going on?"

Pinching Eriri's freshly bathed face, Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Weren't you at the scene? How come you didn't notice that someone was recording the video?"

"Woo..."

After being told this by Asakura Kaede, Eriri blushed in embarrassment, "Well... I was so engrossed in watching Honoka and the others' performance that I didn't notice. Well, it must be like this!"

"Okay, just assume that what you said is right."

"What? It's obviously like that!" Eriri puffed her cheeks and looked at Asakura Kaede angrily.

At the same time, she was also wondering who took the video?

Before, in the auditorium, besides these off-campus visitors, there were also the president and vice-president of the student union, a red-haired girl who was also standing in the last row, a few sneaky girls, and a few of Honoka's classmates.

Those classmates of Honoka were influenced by Eriri, so they didn't take any photos. And those girls who were sneaking around didn't even show their heads.

So, it was those three girls in the last row who did it?

But soon, under Asakura Kaede's gaze, Eriri shook her head and said, "No, it shouldn't be those two girls from the student council. The president looked like he didn't like Honoka and the others."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, Feng-jun, listen to me!"

Leaning in Asakura Kaede's arms, Eriri told Asakura Kaede bit by bit what happened in the auditorium of Otonogizaka School this afternoon.

........

After the first live, due to the upload of a video from an unknown source, Honoka and her three companions unexpectedly began to gain some popularity.

Honoka also called to ask Asakura Kaede if they were the ones who uploaded the video, but Asakura Kaede denied it.

"It seems that there are still people supporting you secretly, so you must work harder."

Listening to Asakura Kaede's words, Honoka smiled and nodded. After hanging up the phone, she began to practice more diligently.

And on this day, two more girls found them and said they wanted to join.

A few days later, as Asakura Kaede expected, the student council president Eri Ayase, who was originally said by Eriri to be at odds with Honoka and her friends, also joined Honoka and her friends' team.

The name of the team was also officially decided.

"μ's, what a nice name!"

In the art club, Usami said with surprise upon hearing the name.

Asakura Feng nodded, looking at the introduction information about Honoka and the others that officially appeared on the official website, and said with a smile: "It's a general name for the nine ancient goddesses of art and science in Greek mythology. It's just right for their team of exactly nine people, and each of them is a beautiful girl. Even if there is no official song released yet, it's enough to attract attention."

Ying Lili came over, looked at μ's not-so-high ranking on the official website and asked, "Feng Jun, when are we going to promote them?"

"Let's wait a little longer. When they officially release their new song, we can start working hard." Asakura Feng said while browsing the official website of LoveLive. "Right now, the only work they have is the one that the three of them performed together before. This is still not enough."

It is indeed not enough. If there are no sufficiently eye-catching works, relying solely on the current external image, even if Asakura Kaede and others are asked to help promote it, it will not have much effect.

To do it, we have to maximize the impact.

Eriri nodded vigorously, looking at one of the nine μ's members in the photo above and said, "So she's the daughter of Nishikino Hospital. No wonder she looks familiar."

"Hmm? Eriri, do you know this Nishikino Maki?"

Shaking her head, Eriri said, "It's not like I know her. I just remember her playing the piano at a banquet once before. But that was several years ago when I was in junior high school."

"That's it."

Asakura Kaede understood that Nishikino Hospital was a large private hospital. There was no doubt that the Nishikino family had a very wide social circle, and it was normal for them to have some interactions with Eriri's family in places like banquets.

Listening to Eriri's words, Uchimaki Subaru came over curiously and asked, "Will her family agree to a rich girl becoming an idol?"

"Well, this is not something we can know, but since you have decided to participate, the young lady should be able to handle it herself."

Asakura Kaede looked at the photo of nine people and was filled with anticipation for the upcoming μ's explosion.

There are nine people, each with their own style and great potential. Even those professional idol companies would probably be envious of such a combination.

I used to be a lesbian, so from now on, I'll ask him to help out a little within his ability.

Chapter 493 Could it be, boyfriend? (3/3)

After μ's was officially established, Honoka excitedly called Asakura Kaede.

"Feng Jun! We have found all the people! Nine people, nine people!"

"Yeah, I saw it all."

In the art club, Asakura Kaede smiled at Eriri beside him and said, "I've seen your information on the official website a long time ago. The name μ's is very suitable for you nine people. But next, you also have to compose songs well, and don't fall behind in practice, understand?"

"I know!" Honoka responded, "Besides, even if you want to be lazy, you can't, the student council president has joined."

As he was speaking, a female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Honoka, the break time is over, it's time to continue training!"

"Ah, here it comes!"

After shouting, Honoka whispered to Asakura Kaede, "Brother Feng, I don't want to chat with you anymore. Senior Ayase is calling me."

"Well, go and train well. I'll bring you something to reward you later."

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Honoka took two deep breaths, encouraged herself, turned around and ran towards her companions.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Seeing Honoka running over with a smile on her face, Hoshizora Rin, who was stretching her legs, asked curiously: "Honoka-senpai, who were you talking to on the phone just now? Could it be... your boyfriend?"

"Ugh?"

"What?!" Yazawa Nicole rushed over and said angrily, "Have you forgotten that you want to be an idol? Idols are not allowed to date!"

"Eh? Boyfriend? Me?" Pointing at herself, Honoka realized it belatedly and her face instantly turned red. "No! I was just talking to Brother Feng on the phone!"

"Brother Feng? Who is that?"

Others also looked over curiously, and of course there were some gossipy eyes among them, which made Honoka feel a little flustered.

In the end, it was Umi who came over and helped Honoka explain Asakura Kaede's identity.

After Umi finished explaining, Honoka said, "Now you know, right? It's not the kind of relationship you think! And Kaede already has a fiancée. Eriri-sister is a very nice person, so don't say anything nonsense!"

Listening to Honoka's words, Xingzora Rin stroked his chin and thought: "Hmm... Asakura Kaede... Eriri, why does it sound so familiar? Ah, I remember! Isn't this the light novel writer who has been very popular in the past two years? Is his fiancée the equally popular manga artist Kashiwagi Eri?"

"Yes, those two."

"Ah!" Xingzora Lin rushed over, hugged Honoka and said, "Honoka-senpai, I want an autograph! Can I? Autograph!"

"Hey? Autograph?" Honoka was a little breathless in Xingzora Rin's embrace, but she didn't refuse. "It should be... no problem. Brother Feng said so just now. He will bring some delicious food to reward us in the next two days. I will ask for one for you then."

"Long live!!!"

Seeing the younger generation making such a fuss, Ayase Eri whispered to Tojo Nozomi beside her, "Nozomi, are those two people they are talking about famous?"

Narrowing his eyes, Tojo Nozomi whispered, "In a sense, unless we rank among the top few in the competition, we can't compete with those two. Moreover, ours is only temporary, and it is very likely that not many people will pay attention to us after the competition. But as for them, both of them are best-selling authors, an engaged couple, and are of the same age as us. They are very popular and attract a lot of attention. And didn't you see that girl with blonde twin tails before?"

When Nozomi Tojo said this, Eri Ayase immediately remembered.

When Honoka and her friends performed their first live that day, not many people from the school came, but there were a few visitors from other schools.

Eri Ayase didn't pay attention at the time and just thought she was a friend of Honoka and the others, but she didn't expect that she had such an identity.

Covering his mouth and laughing softly, Tojo Nozomi said with a relaxed look: "The Tarot cards have given us instructions. Everything is moving in a good direction. As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Eri Ayase has seen the charlatan qualities of her good friend more than once, and her accuracy seems to be quite high.

"Then I'll take your good words, but for now, you should just focus on training." Looking at the confused juniors, Ayase Eri smiled, "They are indeed full of potential, but what they have now is not enough."

Almost at the same time, the six first- and second-year students shuddered in unison and looked at Eri Ayase together.

Having undergone several days of devilish training, they knew very well what this premonition meant.

..........

Honoka is gradually getting back on track, and Asakura Kaede is relieved. He then focuses more on reviewing and tutoring Eriri.

Although Eriri's current achievements in comics and her own drawing skills would give her no problem in applying to Tokyo University of the Arts, it would be a good idea to have better grades in academic subjects anyway.

Moreover, this was also what Sayuri Sawamura, the mother-in-law, had told her herself. No matter how disgusted Eriri was, Asakura Kaede still listed it as a top priority.

Looking at the sets of exercises on hand, Ying Lili felt overwhelmed.

"Wow... Feng-kun, there are still many questions..."

"You're just getting started. You haven't even finished two sets." Asakura Kaede, who was sitting cross-legged opposite, was doing physics exercises at this time, but compared to Eriri who was overwhelmed, he was doing it very easily.

"I don't think you're as smart as Fengjun. These questions are too much for me!"

With her chin supported by her hands, Eriri said, "Can you reduce it a little?"

"Want to reduce it?" Asakura Feng looked at Eriri's pitiful expression and said with a smile, "Sure, the full score of the test paper in your hand is 100. As long as you can get more than 95 points, I will reduce one set of exercises for you. If you get full marks, I will reduce three sets for you. How about it?"

"OK, it's settled! Isn't it just 95 points?"

Looking at the math test paper in front of her, Ying Lili raised her little hand holding the pen and shouted, then buried her head in the work.

Seeing that Eriri was getting serious, Asakura Feng nodded with satisfaction, finished the last few physics problems on hand, then took out his cell phone and prepared to take a break.

As soon as he opened the official website of lovelive, he saw a new song video of μ's.

PUらのLIVE-kun とのLIFE

"Tsk, tsk, you're really quick."

After taking out his headphones and putting them on, Asakura Kaede clicked on the video and started to enjoy it.

Chapter 494 Propaganda (1/2)

An hour later, Eriri finally finished a test paper and handed it directly to Asakura Kaede.

"Feng Jun, I'm done!"

"Have you finished?" Asakura Feng put down his pen and took Eriri's test paper with a smile, "Well, let me correct it for you."

In order to do fewer test questions, Eriri worked harder this time than she did in the monthly exams at school.

After grading the papers, Eriri got 96 points.

Asakura Feng was not surprised by this score. After all, the test paper was of medium difficulty, and Eriri had been asked by Asakura Feng to review the knowledge points these days, so she had already mastered all the basics.

If you can’t get this score, that would be a surprise.

Looking at the scores she got, Ying Lili said proudly: "Hehe, see, I told you I could pass the test! Fengjun, you can't cheat. You promised to reduce the number of test questions by three!"

"No problem, just three sets."

After putting away the exercise books, Asakura Feng waved to Eriri and said, "Take a break. I have something to show you."

"Huh? What?" While asking, Eriri moved her body to the opposite side and leaned against Asakura Kaede.

Then, she saw Asakura Kaede take out his cell phone and handed her one of the earphones.

After putting on the headphones, Eriri saw μ's new song video on her phone.

"Hey! Is there a new song out? So soon?"

Eriri took the phone in surprise, looked at the video and said, "Why didn't Honoka tell us?"

"Maybe he wanted to give us a surprise, or maybe he was a little worried whether the new song would be popular." As he said that, Asakura Feng clicked on the video, "Let's take a look. I've just watched it once. It's pretty good."

"Uh-huh!"

Eriri leaned against Asakura Kaede excitedly and watched the video.

Compared to the previous live performance in the auditorium, the nine people’s performance costumes in this new song video are all new. Each person’s costume is slightly different, but you can tell at a glance that they are from the same team.

The video, which lasted several minutes, ended quickly, and Ying Lili looked at the number of views and comments below the video with shining eyes.

"Mr. Feng, we're about to take off!"

"Yes, it is indeed about to take off."

A relieved smile also appeared on Asakura Kaede's face.

With the joining of professional dancer Eri Ayase, the pressure of training was relieved from Umi Sonoda, making everyone's dance training more efficient.
