My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Asakura Feng asked curiously: "What did you buy?"

"Hey, a secret. I'll show it to you later!"

With doubts, Asakura Kaede followed Eriri upstairs and returned home.

After putting the ingredients aside, Asakura Kaede came to Eriri and watched her open the package with a knife.

"Is this...clothes?"

Asakura Feng watched Eriri unpack the box and saw a set of folded white clothes inside. He frowned and said, "Why do they look familiar to me?"

"Hehe, of course it looks familiar~~~" As she spoke, Eriri opened the bag, took out the clothes inside and unfolded them, "This is a doctor's white coat! Feng-jun, I bought it according to your size!"

"......ha?"

After a moment of shock, Asakura Feng reacted, "You said you wanted to buy it before, so you really bought it directly now?"

"Yes, I always keep my word!" Eriri raised her head proudly, holding the white coat and gesturing on Asakura's body, and said to you, "Yeah, the size is indeed very suitable, Fengjun, do you want to try the whole set on?"

Asakura Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Eriri helplessly and said, "How do you want to play?"

"Hehe, at first there were just too many clothes to choose from, so I thought about matching them with the clothes I already had, and I chose this one. In addition, I also bought some other ones, which should be back soon in the next two days."

"Emm~~~"

Asakura Kaede already knew which outfit this set of clothes should be matched with, and as expected, it should be Eriri's nurse uniform.

Oh boy, do you want me to write the script too?

Looking at Eriri taking the clothes to wash, Asakura Kaede felt inexplicably expectant.

Chapter 632 Two People Applying for Part-time Jobs (2/2)

Clothes have just been bought, so of course they need to be washed first, so Asakura Feng cannot experience it right away, but he is not in a hurry. After all, there are more things in life than just these.

On Friday afternoon, Eriri went to the editorial department to discuss the animation, while Asakura Kaede set off for the library after class.

And those who went with him were Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino.

"I said..."

Driving at one o'clock, Asakura Feng glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu in the passenger seat, and then looked at Hikigaya and Yukinoshita in the back seat through the rearview mirror, "It's fine if Senior Shiyu goes, but why are you guys going too? Why haven't I heard of any announcements for part-time jobs?"

"Isn't it because Asakura-kun you don't go to the library once a month?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "I have known about this for a long time. I guess you are the only one in the entire library who doesn't know about it?"

"Isn't it normal not to know?" Asakura Kaede asked back, "I'm just a novelist, there's no need for me to know those things. So, both you and Yukinoshita, Hikigaya, went to apply for a part-time job? I can understand Hikigaya going, but Yukinoshita, you're a young lady, you don't need living expenses, why would you go there to work?"

“Because I’m quite interested in the publishing industry.”

Yukinoshita Yukino said bluntly, "Besides studying, I don't have much to do. I heard from Hachiman that there is a good part-time job, so I wanted to take a look. It won't take up too much of my time, and I can learn something."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are worthy of me." Asakura Feng sighed, "Unlike Hikigaya, if this guy takes a part-time job, he has only one purpose, and that is money."

"It's really a shame to work for money."

With a pair of dead fish eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman said unhappily: "For money is the most normal reason, right?"

"But I don't think you're short of money."

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "You were admitted to Waseda this time, and your family gave you a lot of living expenses. I heard about it from Komachi."

"Hmm? Komachi said that?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes narrowed as he stared at Asakura Kaede and said, "You actually contacted Komachi? Tell me, do you have any feelings for Komachi? I absolutely disagree!"

"You think too much."

Asakura Kaede twitched the corners of her mouth and said speechlessly, "It's Eriri who has Komachi, right? When I talked to her on the phone a few days ago, Komachi mentioned that the girl envied your living expenses. By the way, did Komachi say that she plans to apply to that university in the future? She is studying at Sobu High School now, right?"

"Yes, I'm at Sobu High School now."

Nodding, Hikigaya Hachiman said, "As for Komachi, I have also asked her where she wants to go to university in the future. If she comes to Tokyo, Yukino and I can take care of her, but the details still depend on her ideas. Well...she should come to Tokyo, right?"

Asakura Kaede smiled and said to Yukinoshita Yukino through the rearview mirror: "Yukinoshita, keep an eye on Hikigaya. Even though he is dating you now, his sister-con nature has not changed."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded seriously: "Yes, I know."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough!"

Amidst the noise and bustle, the group finally arrived at the library.

After parking the car, Asakura Feng looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who came out from the passenger seat and said, "I almost forgot, where is your car, senior?"

"My dad's car was sent in for maintenance, so I asked him to drive it to work today."

"So that's how it is. No wonder." Nodding, Asakura Feng said in surprise, "Then how did you get to school this morning? If you had known earlier, you should have told me and I would have given you a ride."

"It's okay, it's just this once. I drove the car home to my dad first, and then came to school." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a smile, "If you come to pick me up, you will have to run a little further. There's no need to trouble you with such a small matter."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yukinoshita Yukino pulled Hikigaya Hachiman's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Hachiman, why do I feel that the relationship between these two people is a little strange? Is it my illusion?"

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He actually knew it a long time ago. There was a problem between these two people. Kasumigaoka Utaha had a 100% crush on Asakura Kaede.

However, Asakura Kaede probably had no intention in this regard, and Kasumigaoka Utaha did not make any other moves, and their relationship ended there.

But in the eyes of Hikigaya Hachiman, this situation is really exaggerated, because he feels that there is no way Eriri doesn't know about this.

However, under this premise, the relationship between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri is still very good, which is outrageous.

Hikigaya Hachiman was sure that if he had even the slightest bit of ambiguity with a girl, Yukinoshita Yukino would definitely kill him, and would use all kinds of Aikido moves on his face as if they were free.

Does Eriri not care? No, that's impossible. The relationship between these two is so good, it's impossible for her not to care.

So there is only one answer, that is, Eriri knows that Kasumigaoka Utaha will not do anything, so she can rest assured even when the two are alone.

But... is Eriri's character designed like that? It's a bit unscientific.

Does it mean that a girl’s IQ will change after being in a relationship for a long time?

While thinking, Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, and then was stepped hard by the other party.

"Hiss! Why are you stepping on me?"

Shaking her head, Yukinoshita Yukino said, "I always feel like you're thinking of something rude."

"No!"

After retorting, he said to Asakura Feng: "Let's go in first. The scheduled interview time is almost up."

Asakura Feng nodded in realization: "Yes, you still have to have an interview."

Although given the relationship between Asakura Kaede and Kasumigaoka Utaha, it would only take a word for them to do a part-time job, it would be nice to let them experience the feeling of an interview.

After entering the library and saying hello to Takasu Yasuko who was working at the front desk, Asakura Kaede and Kasumigaoka Utaha took the two of them straight to the editorial department.

It was the editorial department that was recruiting part-time workers this time. I heard from Utaha Kasumigaoka that it was because of the light novel competition. The number of entries this time was much greater than expected, so they had to recruit some extra people to help, otherwise the progress would not be able to keep up.

"The competition review is a part-time job. No wonder you have such requirements for the school and major."

Looking at the poster about the competition handed to him by editor Nakajima, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Then these two people definitely meet your requirements. They have very good writing skills, especially this guy Hikigaya. He is not much worse than me in liberal arts."

"Oh! Such a high rating?"

Editor Nakajima smiled happily, looked at the two and said, "Then both of you follow me first. Although you are Xiaofeng and Shiyu's friends, you still need to go through a basic interview."

After saying that, he took the two of them to the meeting room.

Chapter 633: Just Treat Me to a Dinner (1/2)

The interview was conducted by the editor-in-chief, editor Nakajima and an employee from the human resources department, so Asakura Kaede and Kasumigaoka Utaha came to Machida Sonoko together.

Seeing the two people coming, Machida Sonoko simply greeted them and then continued to focus her attention on the computer screen.

Pulling a chair over, Asakura Feng looked at what was on the computer screen and asked, "What's your entry for this competition?"

"kindness."

Nodding, Machida Yuanzi said, "The number of participants this time is unexpectedly large. Our editorial department is a bit overwhelmed with the current staff, so we plan to recruit a few part-timers. In addition, we have plans to expand the scale this year, so we want to see if we can find outstanding talents. By the way, are those two your friends?"

"Yes, he is from the same school as us."

"Ah~~~ They are all students from prestigious schools. Since they are your friends, they must be quite capable." Machida Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched her neck and said, "I have been looking at the entries since yesterday, but there are so many of them, especially some of them are really unbearable to watch, they are eye-catching."

"After all, she's a new author, so it's normal for her to have all sorts of problems. If we have a few more part-time employees, we can share some of the workload and make it easier."

Standing up from the chair with a smile, Asakura Feng looked at Machida Yuanzi and Kasumigaoka Shiwa and said, "I'll go get something to drink. What do you want to drink?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and replied, "Coke."

Machida Sonoko yawned and raised her hand, saying, "I'll have coffee, thank you."

After returning with the drinks, Asakura Feng also took a can of Coke, opened it and took a sip before asking, "Although they are all newcomers, it shouldn't be possible that all of their works are eye-catching, right?"

"Well, from what I've seen so far, there are still a few good ones."

Nodding, Machida Yuanzi picked up a folder beside her, pulled out several printed manuscripts from it, and handed them to Asakura Feng and Kasumigaoka Utaha, "You can take a look at these. Although there is still some gap compared to when you first debuted, it can be seen from them that you are still a bit spiritual."

"Ah~~~ Is there any spirituality?"

After taking the manuscript, Kasumigaoka Utaha started flipping through it with a smile.

Although Asakura Kaede was not very interested, he could only use it to kill time because Editor Nakajima had to deal with the interview first.

After flipping through two pages, Asakura Kaede discovered that, just as Machida Sonoko had said, the subject matter was a bit old-fashioned and there was much room for improvement in the content, but the writing was still acceptable and there would be no problem in passing the audition and being shortlisted.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the manuscript in her hand and said, "Ah, this one is not bad. It's a youth school type. If you let me review this type, I have more experience. For other types like different worlds, I'm still considering the world view setting and so on. It feels more headache, so it's better to let Asakura-kun do it."

"That's true."

Nodding, Machida Yuanzi smiled and said, "Shiyu, you are more suitable for these realistic topics, but the ones selected so far are still not qualified for publication."

"It's still a little far from being published." Turning the page, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Although it may sound a bit self-boasting, what I wrote originally was indeed much better than these two."

"Yeah, I think so too." Asakura Feng nodded and said, "Editor Yuanzi, you only showed us the beginning, right? If you are participating in the competition, there is no way that you will only have this little content. Since you have shown us everything, why not show us the whole thing first, so that we can evaluate the level of these entries."

Listening to what the two said, Machida Yuanzi took a deep breath, looked at them helplessly and said, "You writers, just do what writers should do. Help me do these, but there is no salary."

"We don't need your salary, right, Asakura-kun?"

"That's right." Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Just treat me to a meal. Oh, and Eriri too. She will come over when she finishes her work."

"..."

Machida Yuanzi's mouth twitched, and her eyes instantly turned into dead fish eyes, "You guys are really rude, you are obviously richer than a small editor like me, but you still want to take advantage of me!"

Having said that, she still gave the remaining part of the manuscript to the two of them, and at the same time agreed to treat them all.

At this time, Editor Nakajima also took Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino out of the meeting room and returned to the editorial department.

"Oh! Xiaofeng, you and Shiyu are looking at the entries. What do you think?"

"It's OK, with both advantages and disadvantages." Putting away the things on hand first, Asakura Feng looked at Editor Nakajima with a smile, "Editor Sonoko asked us for help and said she would treat us to dinner tonight. Editor Nakajima, can you come later? Hikigaya, you and Yukinoshita should come too. It seems that you passed the interview? Then you should get to know Editor Machida Sonoko, who is a middle-class address in our editorial department."

Editor Nakajima seemed not to notice Machida Sonoko's face turning darker quickly, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's time to get familiar with it."

"Senior! Why are you joining in the fun!!!"

"Ahahaha, after all, being with young people makes me feel younger in mentality."

Editor Nakajima was laughing happily, and Asakura Kaede was also laughing happily. Only Machida Sonoko was feeling sorry for her wallet.

Seeing Machida Sonoko secretly take out her wallet and take a look, Kasumigaoka Utaha came over and asked quietly: "Do you want me to help you share the burden?"

Machida Yuanzi glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha with gritted teeth, then sighed and said, "Thank you, what were you doing earlier? But never mind, I can still afford a meal, I'll just eat at your place next time anyway."

After saying that, she stood up, looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino, and smiled again.

"Although you are only part-time employees now, we will be colleagues from now on. Hello, I am Shiyu's editor-in-chief, Machida Yuanzi. You can just call me Sister Yuanzi."

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino also introduced themselves, and then were taken by editor Nakajima to meet other editors in the editorial department. Finally, they were assigned to the empty workstation next to Machida Sonoko.

Looking at the two, Editor Nakajima said with a smile, "Since you are college students working part-time, we can give you some flexibility in your working hours. Just come when you are free. Also, because of the competition, we may have to work overtime on weekends at this stage. Is that okay with you? And don't worry, we will pay overtime and provide lunch."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately said: "There is no problem with working overtime! However, I have a small question I want to ask."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Under everyone's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned slightly red: "Can you bring the cat home?"
