My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Tilting her head, Eriri said depressedly, "I clearly know the storyline, but I'm still a little lacking in the use of some shots and the division of characters. Do I need to go to university for further studies? My talent for storyboarding is really not as good as yours, Fengjun."

"Well... to be honest, I was quite surprised myself."

As she was drawing, Asakura Feng said, "In fact, I wasn't very skilled at the beginning, but for some reason, the more I drew, the more efficient I became. Maybe I really have some talent for storyboarding. However, I can't keep doing this in the future. Writing novels or being a screenwriter is more suitable for me."

“Ah, speaking of screenwriters…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and said to the two of them, "During the day, Yuanzi called me and said that a film and television company that she knew at the publishing house wanted to invite me to write a script for them for the next TV series they were going to shoot."

"Eh? TV series?!" x2

Asakura Kaede and Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha at the same time with disbelief on their faces. They never thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha would encounter this situation now.

Asakura Feng asked with some doubt: "Is it true? Is it a scam?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. "No, the editor-in-chief has confirmed that it is a legitimate film and television company that shoots TV series every year. As for why they found them, it seems that they said that they had originally arranged to hire a screenwriter, but the screenwriter fell ill and had to go abroad for treatment. And because it was a youth romance theme, and the producer's daughter happened to be reading my novel, she flipped through it and thought my style was quite suitable, so she asked me if I was interested."

What is this, pie in the sky?

But it must be said that this is indeed a good opportunity for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Chapter 520 What is the point of writing? (2/2)

When talking about this, although there was some excitement in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes, there was more nervousness and uneasiness.

After all, although the novel has reached the second part, her popularity has been completely consolidated, and her own level is also improving, but Kasumigaoka Utaha has really never been involved in the screenwriting industry.

Although she is currently reading some stuff on this subject, she has only just begun to learn.

"Now that I have received such an invitation, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

"Of course it's a good thing!" Ying Lili said without hesitation, "If you insist now, you are not even a screenwriter, but even so, someone still sent you an invitation, and it's not just a casual invitation, which means that the other party recognizes your ability. Since it's like this, it won't hurt to give it a try, right? And the other party can't really only look for you as a screenwriter, they must have a backup plan. Right, Feng Jun?"

"Yeah, that's right, Eriri has a point."

Nodding, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Since it has been confirmed by the library, then you can indeed consider it. As for the screenwriting, it is actually not as difficult as you think. Generally speaking, you still have to write a good story. Moreover, even if you take a step back, there is still the library to back you up. This job was introduced by the library. If you have any problems, just ask them to help you solve them together."

"You make it sound so easy."

As she spoke, Kasumigaoka Utaha exhaled, "However, I am indeed quite interested in such a challenging thing. I just don't know who will be cast as the male and female protagonists if my script is successfully approved. I don't care about other TV series, but if it is my own script, then I have very high requirements for the actors' appearance."

Eriri nodded, raised her hand and asked, "Like Yui Aragaki?"

"Well, that's fine. I don't know much about the male actors, but I have to find good-looking female actors for me one by one."

Asakura Feng looked at the two girls speechlessly: "You are not the investor, so you don't consider the funding issue, right?"

"What are you considering about funding?" Looking at Asakura Kaede, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm just a scriptwriter. When the script is handed in, it's okay for me to give some opinions on the casting. I know all that. As for whether or not to choose the actors I like, I really can't do anything about it. Just don't give me some bad ones."

Wow, I was just worrying about whether I could do this job well, but now I’m thinking about being an actor.

Asakura Kaede called editor Nakajima at noon the next day to discuss the work of Kasumigaoka Utaha. Editor Nakajima also told Asakura Kaede about it, which was a pleasant surprise. It was really the style of Kasumigaoka Utaha's work that just met the other party's needs. It even supported what editor Nakajima said. After talking with the editor-in-chief, the other party might want to buy the adaptation rights of Kasumigaoka Utaha's Love Metronome and make it into a live-action drama.

After the call ended, Asakura Kaede put down the phone and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this the advantage of writing youth romance novels? There's no comparison, no comparison."

Ying Lili at the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, Fengjun, don't be envious. We can't compare with each other. If you are envious, go write one yourself~~"

"It's not that I can't write it." Stretching, Asakura Feng leaned on the sofa and said, "It's just that if I write it, you can tell at a glance from the style that this script is written by a man. To be honest, if I write it, I might as well cooperate with Toei to write the script for Knight. What have I been writing for the past two years? Ah, since you're thinking about special effects, wouldn't it be better for me to just write the script for Ultraman? It doesn't matter what I write."

"Um... Feng-jun, you don't really want to write it?"

"Why not? This is still my favorite field, isn't it? I already have a lot of inspiration." As he spoke, Asakura Feng pointed to his head and said, "The Knights have become less and less enterprising in recent years. Ultraman is still better."

"Hehe, isn't it because my last name is Asakura? Ugh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Asakura Kaede hit him on the forehead.

"This is a joke from the past, can you please not bring it up? Okay, okay, let's take a quick lunch break."

Covering her head and sticking out her tongue, Eriri rested her head on Asakura Kaede's legs and took a peaceful nap.

In the afternoon, Asakura and Eriri received a message from Kasumigaoka Utaha that she had already met with the other party and confirmed the intention of cooperation with the help of the library. Next, it depends on how the script she writes is.

For Utaha Kasumigaoka, this was a field she had never been exposed to before. Although she was also typing on the keyboard, she still took a conservative approach. She first learned more about some details of writing the script, and even went to school to consult many teachers.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, they don't need to worry about her for the time being, and the next most important thing is μ's performance in Akihabara on Saturday.

On this day, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been "cultivating in seclusion", finally went out. After dressing up, she drove behind Asakura Kaede's car, carrying Takasu Ryuji, Oosaka Taiga and Kawashima Ami.

Asakura Kaede's car also picked up Klette, Usami and Uchimaki Subaru on the way to Akihabara.

As for Kitamura Yusaku, since it was not on his way, he had to take the train by himself.

The performance was about to start, so after arriving in Akihabara in the morning, Asakura Kaede and the others did not rush to find the μ's members who had already arrived at the performance venue, but first met up with Fujiwara Chika and the other two.

Although Chika Fujiwara had been busy with her university studies before, she had always been paying attention to μ's affairs, listening to every song and even buying peripheral products.

After arriving at the agreed fast food restaurant, Asakura Kaede saw Fujiwara Chika sitting with Iino Miko and Ishigami Yu.

Today, Fujiwara Chika is dressed in a light pink dress. She still looks like a high school student and doesn't look like a college student at all. She is in sharp contrast with Kasumigaoka Utaha standing next to her.

The two are obviously the same age, but Kasumigaoka Utaha is much more mature than Fujiwara Chika in every aspect.

Well... there is only one place where Fujiwara Chika is absolutely crushed.

Seeing a large group of people coming in, Fujiwara Chika waved happily and said, "Come on, come on, I'll order something for you!"

"Senior, it's not even lunch time yet, why did you order so much?"

There was a huge pile of various dishes on the table over there by Fujiwara Chika, enough for all of them to eat.

"Hehe~~ Because it's rare that I can eat so happily!"

As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika picked up a fried chicken wing and started eating happily.

I really don't know whether she came here to watch the performance or to enjoy the food.

Chapter 521 Iino Miko's Curiosity (1/2)

After everyone else arrived, someone came to destroy the things that Fujiwara Chika ordered.

As soon as Eriri and Oosaka Taiga sat down, they started eating happily. They both liked eating meat and fried food, but both Asakura Kaede and Takasu Ryuji were very strict in this regard and would not let them eat too much.

But like today, when Fujiwara Chika ordered it, there was nothing they could do to stop it.

Patting Eriri's head, Asakura Feng advised, "Eat slowly, okay? Watch out for mouth ulcers."

"Oh...I know~~~"

Nodding, Eriri picked up a piece of chicken, dipped it in ketchup and stuffed it into Asakura Kaede's mouth.

If you shut Asakura Kaede's mouth, he won't say anything about himself.

As two people who spend every day together, how could Asakura Feng not guess what Eriri is thinking? Zhiyan just shook his head and started eating the chicken nuggets helplessly.

Everyone was eating and chatting.

Chika Fujiwara ate a French fry and said excitedly, "We've been to the scene just now. The stage there is great! And everyone from μ's has arrived and is rehearsing in the lounge. I went over to say hello and didn't bother them, so I came here first!"

“So diligent?”

Asakura Feng didn't expect that Honoka and the others would start training as soon as they arrived. It seemed that they were still a little nervous. Otherwise, it would be better to just practice a little bit before the performance to adjust their condition.

Ishigami Yutaka nodded and said, "A few of them seemed a little nervous. After all, there are quite a few people in Akihabara, and this is their first time participating in such a performance."

With her chin supported by her hands, Iino Miko took a sip of Coke through a straw and said with a smile, "It happened so fast. The last time I saw their first performance was at the Otonogizaka auditorium. There were not many people attending that performance. It hasn't been long since then, and now they are already performing in Akihabara!"

Looking at Iino Miko, Eriri smiled and said, "Hey, if we use the school idol standard, Miko, can you also participate? You're not bad at singing. By the way, why is no one from Shuchiin participating?"

"Oh? Me? I can't do it!"

Iino Miko waved her hands in panic: "Idols and the like have nothing to do with me. Besides, I'm very busy with my work in the student union, so I don't have the time to participate in the competition. It's even more difficult to find people to form a group!"

"Well, that's true."

Asakura Kaede folded her arms and looked at Fujiwara Chika: "If it was last year, Fujiwara-senpai could have tried to participate. Maybe she could have won against A-RISE."

How can I describe Fujiwara Chika? Although she is a bit of a fan, she is actually quite good at music and dancing is not difficult for her. If she had teamed up with a few people of similar level, it is hard to say whether she would have won the championship last year.

"Oh? Me?"

When Asakura Kaede mentioned this, Fujiwara Chika recalled and said, "Well...I did hear about the LoveLive competition last year, but I didn't pay much attention to it because there were a lot of things going on at that time, and the relationship between the president and Kaguya-san was just exposed, so their story is more interesting. However, A-RISE is really good. Although if we compete for resources, they will most likely win in the end, but that would be boring."

Indeed, what Fujiwara Chika said makes a lot of sense.

Although the Fujiwara family is a political family, they have extensive connections in all aspects. Even without relying on her family, Fujiwara Chika's own connections alone can allow her to easily build a professional idol team, including some behind-the-scenes production and operation teams.

Although A-RISE has the support of UTX High School, it is still many levels behind Fujiwara Chika and Shuchiin.

As luck would have it, just as they were talking about A-RISE, Asakura Kaede received a message from Kirara Tsubasa.

"kindness......"

After looking at the information on his phone, Asakura Feng said to everyone, "Um, do you want to meet the three people from A-RISE?"

"Ugh?"

Fujiwara Chika asked in surprise: "Asakura-kun, do you know A-RISE?"

"Yeah, we met by chance."

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"Hasn't it been said now?" Asakura Feng spread his hands and said with a smile, "How about asking them to come over? They said they just met μ's who were training and they have nowhere to go."

"Come on! Of course you can come!" Fujiwara Chika said excitedly, "I haven't met A-RISE yet, I don't know what kind of people they are!"

Others had not formally met A-RISE, so naturally they had no objections.

After everyone agreed, Asakura Feng sent a message to Kirara Tsubasa. After learning the location, Kirara Tsubasa said they would be there in a few minutes.

Looking at Asakura Kaede who was messaging Kirara Tsubasa, Iino Miko waved at Eriri and whispered curiously, "Eriri, although it may be inappropriate to say this, are you really at ease? The other party is a popular idol, and he actually has Asakura-kun's number."

"Hmm? Ah, this one."

Eriri suddenly realized, glanced at Asakura Kaede, and whispered in Iino Miko's ear: "If I really worry, then I will be exhausted every day, right? There are so many girls around me, and I'm alone, I can't take care of them all. And Miko, how many people do you think secretly like Kaede? Can I lock him up at home and not let him go out and interact with others? In this kind of thing, the most important thing is mutual trust."

"Well... I still don't quite understand."

Iino Miko frowned. After all, she was still a rookie with no experience and could not understand Eriri's calmness.

Although Iino Miko herself knew that Asakura and Eriri had a good relationship and would not do anything bad, it was always better to be prepared. She really couldn't understand why Eriri didn't care at all.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't understand. Everyone is different. Some men are indeed easy to resist temptation. When dealing with such men, you need to keep a close eye on them. But... Ishigami, you don't have to worry too much."

"Ugh?"

After a moment's pause, facing Eriri's playful expression, Iino Miko's face instantly turned red, and she waved her hands wildly and said, "No... don't talk nonsense!"

The interaction between the two finally attracted the attention of others.

Seeing Iino Miko's blushing face, Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened and she asked curiously: "My love radar is activated. Are you talking about love?"

Chapter 522 As expected of you, Fujiwara Chika (2/2)

I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. He was clearly speaking in a low voice, but he could actually sense it.

Love radar?

But looking at Iino Miko's blushing face that was speechless...

It's really hard not to believe it.

All of a sudden, everyone looked over curiously, and the shy girl, Iino Miko, had no choice but to pull Eriri's arm and hide behind her.

Eriri looked at everyone helplessly, waved her hands and said, "Alright, alright, let's just talk about some girly topics, why are you guys coming over here? Don't you see how shy Miko is?"

Asakura Kaede's expression froze when he saw Eriri like this.

Others may not know, but everyone here knows Iino Miko's personality. The reason why she became so shy must be not only because of everyone's curiosity, but also because of Eriri's own problems.

But judging from Eriri's expression, it seems that she doesn't intend to disclose their discussion to everyone.

Although he had some guesses, Asakura Feng decided to ask Eriri after returning home in the evening.

After eating and waiting for a few minutes, the door of the fast food restaurant was pushed open and three girls wearing sunglasses and fashionable clothes walked in.

It was none other than the three members of A-RISE.

After coming in, Kirara Tsubasa didn't even need to look for them. She saw a group of people sitting in a corner of the restaurant. Her sharp eyes saw Asakura Kaede, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha among them.
