My Cartoonist Girlfriend

There were other interesting things. After parking the car and heading to the teaching building, Asakura Kaede saw the animals raised in Otonogizaka school.

Two alpacas.

In general schools, even if students raise animals, they would at most raise cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. But it is rare to see someone like Otonogizaka raising two alpacas.

Moreover, the two alpacas were not afraid of strangers. After seeing Asakura Kaede and the others, they kept staring at them.

After arriving at the teaching building, Asakura Kaede and the others went straight to the rooftop.

The rooftop was not locked, and before I opened the door, I could already hear the beats coming from behind it.

Slowing down her movements, Ying Lili carefully pushed open the door to the rooftop and walked onto it.

The rooftop is very large. In the wide area, nine girls are performing dance training in unison, which looks pleasing to the eye.

Seeing the three people appear, Honoka, who was still practicing, stopped instantly. She no longer cared about the authority of Eri Ayase, the student council president, and rushed over.

"Brother Feng! You guys are here!!!"

Looking at Honoka's movements, Ayase Eri also shook her head helplessly, but calculating the time, everyone had been practicing for quite a while, so she said: "The guests just happened to come, let's take a break."

As soon as they started to rest, Honoka jumped up and threw herself on Asakura Kaede.

Even with this action, Eriri was not angry at all. She smiled at her and said, "Hey, Honoka, you better be careful. Feng-kun has a lot of things in his hands. If there's nothing to eat later, you'll cry to death."

"Ugh?"

After being stunned for a moment, Honoka lowered her head and saw the box and bag in Asakura Kaede's hands. She quickly stuck out her tongue and got off Asakura Kaede.

Looking at Honoka's actions, Asakura Feng smiled and said, "It seems that for Honoka, food is more important than me?"

"Hehehe~~~" Honoka smiled innocently and pointed with her fingers, "It's just a little bit important, just a little bit."

At this moment, the other girls from μ's also came over, and all of a sudden, Asakura Kaede felt like a green spot among a sea of ​​flowers.

After all the girls introduced themselves, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly found that the girl named Nishikino Maki was looking at her intently with her beautiful big eyes.

"Nishikino-san, what's wrong?"

“Ah! This…”

Maki Nishikino blushed, and when she noticed that everyone was looking at her, she mustered up the courage to rush to where she put her things, took out a book and a pen from her bag, and then came in front of Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"I...I'm a fan of yours, Kasumi Shiko-sensei. Can you give me an autograph?"

"Ah~~~ What a surprise." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't expect this to happen. She smiled and nodded, taking the book and pen. "Okay, thank you for your support."

Seeing the pen name of Kasumigaoka Utaha appearing on the inner pages of the novel, Nishikino Maki couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Looking at the signed novel, Nishikino Maki said happily: "Thank you very much! I will continue to support Kasumi Shiko-sensei!"

Suddenly meeting a fan of hers, and a young lady at that, Kasumigaoka Utaha was in a very good mood and smiled and said, "Thank you."

Yazawa Nico came over, looked at Nishikino Maki, and said playfully, "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to like reading light novels."

"Huh, that's nothing." Nishikino Maki said with her head tilted up, "Teacher Kasumi Shiko's writing is great, and her descriptions of the characters' inner thoughts are especially detailed. I really like this style."

Tojo Nozomi looked at Nishikino Maki's reaction and said in surprise: "Ah, Maki-chan is really surprising. She's not arrogant at all today?"

"Who is arrogant? I am not arrogant!"

Hearing the word "tsundere", Eriri was stunned for a moment and looked at Nishikino Maki.

Chapter 497 The Sinful Woman

Because we often train on the rooftop, everyone at μ's always has a few picnic blankets ready for sitting down to make it easier to rest.

After the guests arrived, it was time for a break. The snacks and milk tea brought by Asakura Kaede and the others unconsciously aroused the girls' interest.

Afternoon tea, desserts and so on, no girl can refuse.

Holding a cup of milk tea, Ayase Eri looked at Asakura Kaede and said, "Thank you very much for your support for the previous publicity and today's gifts."

"Not so polite."

Asakura Kaede waved her hand and said with a smile, "At that time, Honoka told me that she wanted to save the school by becoming a school idol. In fact, I also thought that it would be impossible for Honoka and the other three to do it alone. So I told them to find a few more partners with the same idea and work together. Now that even Ayase-san has joined in, the success rate will surely be much higher. You are different from the group A-RISE. They have the support of UTX, a wealthy school, and can invite various professionals to help guide them. As for you, you can only rely on yourself more."

Nodding, Eri Ayase has now joined μ's and has also done some special research on A_RISE.

"They did win the first LoveLive championship last year, and there are professionals, but we are not bad here either. Whether it's dancing, singing or lyrics and music, we can compete with our own strength. We may not be very mature now, but we still have time to improve."

Ying Lili also joined the conversation at this time, and said with a smile: "Hehe, as for the promotion, we have been promoting it in the past few days, but that's not all, we have a backup plan! As long as you can come up with a song as good as the one before, plus our promotion, your popularity will definitely rise further!"

"As for the songs, I'll have to rely on Nishikino for that."

As she spoke, Eri Ayase looked at Maki Nishikino.

However, at this moment, Nishikino Maki did not look like a musician in the team at all. Instead, she sat next to Kasumigaoka Utaha like a little fan girl, chatting with her in a low voice.

Eriri looked at Eri Ayase who had a strange expression on her face and asked quietly, "Is Nishikino usually like this?"

"No." Shaking her head, although Eri Ayase is not usually the talkative person, she was really shocked by the current scene, so she said, "As for her...she is a very nice person, but most of the time she behaves like a young lady, and like Xi said just now, she is a bit tsundere. But now...this is really the first time I've seen her."

"Tsundere..."

While muttering, Asakura Kaede looked at Eriri beside him.

When meeting Asakura Kaede's gaze, Eriri slapped him and said unhappily, "I'm not a tsundere! I haven't been one for a long time! Tsunderes are the most hopeless. Don't you see that Taiga has changed?"

"Well...that's true." Asakura Kaede agreed with this argument, but her gaze shifted to Yazawa Nicole, who was sitting next to Tojo Nozomi.

This girl, who is apparently the smallest in figure but is actually a senior in the third year, was staring with her big eyes at Nishikino Maki and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

And when his gaze fell on Kasumigaoka Utaha, he couldn't help but look at himself again, and then at Tojo Nozomi next to him, revealing a look of despair.

Touching his chin, Asakura Feng whispered to Ayase Eri: "You guys...the relationship here is a bit messy."

"Huh? Is there any?"

Eri Ayase obviously had no idea what Asakura Kaede meant and looked confused.

"Well, it's nothing, just something unimportant." Waving his hand, Asakura Feng said, "Have some snacks first."

Nodding, Eri Ayase picked up a macaron and started tasting it with a smile on her face.

An afternoon tea also brought Asakura Kaede and the other two closer to μ's.

It was past three in the afternoon. After staying for more than an hour, it was time for Asakura Kaede and the others to leave so as not to delay μ's next training.

After Asakura Kaede said she was leaving, the nine girls followed her out and went to the parking lot to see her off.

Looking at the nine girls in front of him, Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Don't work too hard in your daily training. Although improving your strength is important, your body is your capital and you can't let it get exhausted. I look forward to your performances in other places, and we will come to cheer you on. Well, see you next time, I look forward to throwing a celebration banquet for you."

After getting in the car, Asakura Kaede started the car, and drove away from Otonogizaka as everyone in μ's waved goodbye.

Clapping her hands, Ayase Eri looked at everyone and said, "Okay, we've rested long enough, let's practice for a while! We consumed a lot of sugar in our afternoon tea, so we need to burn some of it off!"

“Ah~~~~~”

On the other side, on the way back.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in the back seat, arm in arm.

"You were chatting with that Nishikino Maki just now, and it seemed like you were having a good chat?"

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha had a satisfied smile on her face: "Maki-chan is pretty good. She has been following me since Love Metronome was first released. She is a great fan. Compared to the male fans at the book signing event, female fans are more fun to talk to."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Eriri was shocked and said, "You really are a sinful woman. I saw that the way Nishikino Maki looked at you was almost wrong."

"Huh? Is that so?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't think too much about it and said doubtfully, "We were just having a normal chat."

"is it?"

After asking back, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede who was in the driver's seat, "Kaede-kun, what do you think?"

"Hmm~~~" Asakura Feng tilted his head and said, "I think there is indeed a problem. I heard from Ayase Eri that Nishikino Maki is usually a girl with obvious lady style and is very arrogant. But when she was facing you before, her behavior was completely out of character. But when you think about it carefully, it is quite normal, since it is a girls' school."

"..."

The corners of Kasumigaoka Utaha's mouth twitched, "I always feel like you have some misunderstanding about girls' schools."

"Is it a misunderstanding? Let's talk about it later~~" Asakura Feng glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Senior, do you have a line with Kashikino Maki?"

"Um... added."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the phone in her hand with a hesitant expression.

Although I know that what Asakura Kaede and Eriri said just now was mostly a joke, but when I think carefully about Nishikino Maki's behavior before...

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly shook her head, getting rid of some discordant images.

Chapter 498 A-RISE (2/2)

It was still early, so Eriri suggested that they spend the rest of the afternoon wandering around and then have dinner outside.

Asakura Kaede naturally had no problem with this and gave the final voting right to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"You two both agreed, so why are you asking me what to do?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile, "I've been busy with schoolwork these past few days, so I'll just relax today."

The three of them didn't look for any particular place. They just searched on the navigation and found a nearby commercial street and went there.

They have never been here before, so it feels quite new.

They each bought a bottle of ice drink and the three of them drank while walking around.

"Feng Jun, there, there!"

Suddenly, Eriri saw a store ahead and pulled Asakura Kaede's arm and shouted, "Let's go to that store!"

Asakura Kaede and Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in the direction Eriri pointed and found that it was an idol merchandise store.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

The thing I’ve been most involved in recently, besides studying, is my idols. It just so happens that I haven’t been to an idol-related store yet, so I can take a good look around today.

After entering, the three of them saw all kinds of idol peripherals displayed on the merchandise shelves, including CDs, notebooks, badges and the like.

There are many posters of different idols on the walls, and different song MVs are playing on screens placed throughout the store.

"Ah~~ There are so many kinds of idol merchandise nowadays!"

Looking at these dazzling array of peripherals, Ying Lili was extremely surprised and picked up a mouse pad to look at it.

"Hmm~~ an idol group I don't recognize."

Eriri glanced at the description on the shelf and found out that they were peripheral products of the school idol.

Kasumigaoka Utaha came over, picked up a few small badges and said, "They are from A-RISE, and the price is not cheap."

After looking around, Asakura Feng said, "It seems that there are more school idol merchandise for sale here, and fewer things for other idols."

At this time, a saleswoman came over and said with a smile: "Because the second LoveLive competition has started, the popularity is very high, and the peripherals of these popular school idols are selling very well."

"Oh~~~I see."

Picking up a CD and looking at it, Eriri discovered that this was also by A-RISE. "As expected of last year's champion, they are still very popular now."

"I've heard A-RISE's songs." Standing next to Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha said in a low voice, "But I think they're still a little bit inferior to μ's. Not in terms of singing skills, but the emotions contained in them. I feel that μ's songs are more touching."

"Really?" Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise, "I thought so too. Although A-RISE is very popular now, I think μ's should win!"

"Let's wait and see. They can continue to improve."

After visiting the idol-related stores, the three continued shopping in other stores on the commercial street until dinner time in the evening.

"Well~~Are there any good restaurants here?"

Ying Lili looked around and touched her belly with one hand: "I'm hungry!"

"I'm a little hungry too."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "Although I had some dessert in the afternoon, I still consumed a lot of energy after shopping."

Asakura Feng picked up his cell phone and started searching.

"Go forward and turn right. There is a Thai restaurant. Do you want to go?"

Ying Lili quickly agreed: "Let's go! I haven't eaten in a long time!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha also had no problem: "I haven't eaten for a long time either."
