Sure enough, Eriri's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she was obviously becoming alert and angry.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and continued, "However, today, Suzumura was rejected. I guess Asakura's standards are still very high. Hey, Eriri, even though he rejected her because of you, do you think that if I go up, will Asakura continue to refuse?"

After saying this, he puffed out his chest proudly, showing off something that Eriri didn't have.

As expected, the others were fine, but Eriri was unsure about Kasumigaoka Utaha. The main reason was that this guy's figure really didn't look like that of a high school student, and he was also a light novel writer like Asakura Kaede, and they were from the same library.

She immediately stood up and said, "No! No!"

"Ah, why not?"

Tapping her crossed legs, Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled and said, "Although Asakura-kun likes you now, what if? For boys, the only thing they love in their life is young and beautiful girls. If you can't control yourself, it's easy for them to slip away!"

"Woo! Anyway, it's just not possible. I can see that you are a guy. You must have said that on purpose, right?"

"Hehehe, I've been discovered."

After giving a small chuckle, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up, took Eriri's arm, and left the empty classroom affectionately: "Don't worry, although Asakura-kun's talent is very attractive, I don't have such thoughts now."

"So, there will be one in the future?"

"Maybe!"

"No! He...he..."

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the other person with a smile.

Unable to speak, Eriri blushed and turned her head away: "Humph, anyway, it's not possible."

"You're really overbearing."

Not long after walking out of the classroom, she ran into an acquaintance of Eriri, Tomoya Aki.

Aki Tomoya didn't expect to meet Eriri here, and asked in surprise: "Eriri?"

Being stopped by the other party, Ying Lili's mouth twitched: "You... I told you not to pretend to be so familiar with me in school. I don't want my stable campus life to be disrupted by you at all!"

Then, he simply pulled the curious Kasumigaoka Utaha and walked past him without saying anything more.

After looking at the boy behind her, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in confusion, "Who is that?"

"The celebrity who caused trouble yesterday."

"Hmm... I remember his name was Tomoya Aki? You actually know him?"

"You met the wrong person. I met him in elementary school. He's a total otaku, has no emotional intelligence, can't talk, can't read the atmosphere, and his mind is full of light novels and anime all day long." After making a blunt assessment, Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "I advise you not to get involved with that guy. Nothing good will come of it."

"I didn't expect you to give such a high evaluation to someone, even though it's negative."

"Humph, just telling the truth."

Seeing Eriri, whose mood had obviously become a little bad because of meeting Amami Tomoya, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment and then asked, "So, you have such a childhood sweetheart, does Asakura know about it?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Erriri, you should understand, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say it clearly, but just smiled at Eriri.

After hesitating for a moment, Eriri nodded and said, "I know. I met him before and told Asakura about it. But don't think Asakura is so petty. He didn't say anything. And I don't have any relationship with that guy. The last time we talked before coming to high school was in elementary school."

"Is that so? Hmm~~ But do you really not care at all?"

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice was very soft, Eriri still heard it and began to feel a little uneasy.

She had been worried before, but since Asakura Kaede's behavior was no different from usual, Eriri didn't take it to heart anymore.

But now that Kasumigaoka Utaha brought it up again, Eriri couldn't help but worry. What on earth was Asakura Kaede thinking?

But after a few seconds, Ying Lili thought of another thing.

That's not right! I'm worrying about something that didn't happen, and I'm not lying! Other people might be suspicious, but based on Eriri's understanding of Asakura Kaede, that guy would never do that.

Then she couldn't help but glare at Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You, can you stop talking nonsense?"

"???"

I didn't expect Eriri to react so quickly. Kasumigaoka Utaha was also quite surprised and immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. Where are we going now? Are we going to meet up with the others? I remember your mother is here too? I want to meet her."

Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha warily: "What are you planning to do?"

"You don't trust me that much? It's really sad!" Kasumigaoka Utaha wiped her eyes pretentiously, and then said, "In this case, I won't go with you. I will find Asakura-kun to apologize later. Peeping is never a good thing."

“Nooooooooooooooo!!!”

Chapter 64 Slipped Away (Please Collect!!!)

After many warnings, she finally convinced Kasumigaoka Utaha not to talk nonsense, but after leaving the teaching building, Eriri herself was a little panicked.

The reason is very simple. If she goes to look for her mother now, she will definitely meet Asakura Kaede and Asakura Kaede's mother. Just thinking about that scene, Eriri feels that she can't remain calm.

Noticing that Eriri's pace had slowed down, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her and asked, "You...what's wrong?"

Pursing her lips, Eriri directly said something that shocked Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I suddenly realized that something happened, so I won't go over. Anyway, you know where the place is, go by yourself. We agreed not to talk nonsense, okay?"

Then, he really turned around and ran away.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at Eriri's back, and only after she disappeared from her sight could she help but laugh: "No way, are you really that shy?"

Although she has never been in a relationship, Kasumigaoka Utaha has understood Eriri's personality these days, so it is not difficult for her to understand her behavior. After all, she just heard a boy express his affection for her, and she also has a good impression of him. In this case, with Eriri's personality, it would be wrong for her to dare to confront him directly.

With curiosity about the subsequent developments, Kasumigaoka Utaha came to where Asakura Kaede and the others were.

Asakura Reiko, who was chatting, saw a beautiful girl walking towards them and was a little curious. Asakura Feng happened to see it too, but didn't see Eriri with her, so she asked, "Senior, where is Eriri? Isn't she with you?"

"As for Eriri, something urgent happened."

After arriving in front of everyone, Kasumigaoka Utaha introduced herself to the ladies: "Hello everyone, I am Kasumigaoka Utaha from the second year, and a friend of Asakura-kun and Eriri."

Usami and Takasu Ryuji both looked at Asakura Kaede in surprise. They originally thought that this senior only knew Eriri, but they didn't expect that she also knew Asakura Kaede.

After looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha with some surprise, Asakura Reiko looked at her son. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident: Boy, you are not honest. You even secretly got to know other girls. It is not advisable to be fickle!

In response, Asakura Kaede shrugged calmly and said, "Colleague."

"Oh~~"

Asakura Reiko suddenly realized, and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was also smiling and nodding, and finally understood. So they were colleagues, both light novelists, so it was not difficult to understand why they knew each other.

Takasu Ryuji, who knew that Asakura Kaede was a light novel writer, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise. He didn't expect that this extremely beautiful senior was also a light novel writer.

Does it mean that being a light novel writer these days also requires good looks?

Sayuri Sawamura naturally knew the identity of Kasumigaoka Utaha, but what she was more curious about now was why her daughter did not come.

Just as I took out my cell phone to make a call, Ying Lili sent me a message.

[I'm going back first. Please help me find a reason to explain.]

"..."

Sayuri Sawamura had no idea what her daughter was going to do, as there was too much missing information. But she was her daughter after all, so she could only go along with her wishes at this time.

Putting down her phone, Sayuri Sawamura looked at everyone and said, "Something happened suddenly, so I have to leave first. Reiko, let's have dinner together again when there's a chance."

First, Eriri didn't show up, and then even Sayuri Sawamura left early, which inevitably made Asakura Kaede a little curious, but she didn't investigate further. After all, the Sawamura family is not an ordinary family, and it is common to disrupt plans due to unexpected matters.

The sports meet is almost over now. In the final points, the red team won with a five-point lead. In the following time, the parents who came to the school also visited the school or the clubs they participated in under the guidance of their children.

After taking her mother around the art department, Asakura Kaede went straight home.

After arriving home, because it was still early, Asakura Reiko did not go straight to cooking. Instead, she pulled Asakura Feng to sit on the sofa in the living room, took out her cell phone and said, "Xiao Feng, I took a lot of photos today!"

"Uh...no?"

Since entering junior high school, Asakura Kaede has rarely taken pictures of himself or asked his family to take pictures of him, except during the New Year and when traveling. He basically doesn't take pictures on weekdays. Now his mother said that she took a lot of pictures, which made him quite uncomfortable.

But the next second, Asakura Reiko rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who said I took a picture of you?"

"..."

Sure enough, when my mother opened the photo album on her mobile phone, it was full of photos of Eriri.

Some have single ponytails, some have double ponytails, some are talking, some are smiling, and basically they all look the same.

Cute, want...

Noticing that her son's attention was focused on the photos, Asakura Reiko immediately turned off her phone screen, then looked at her son and said, "I can send you the photos."

"...condition?"

"Hum~"

Asakura Reiko smiled and said, "Hurry up and get that girl. I thought she was cute when I saw her photo. Today, when I got to know her up close, I found her even cuter. It's just that I didn't see her again this afternoon, otherwise I would like to get to know her better."

"...I knew it would be like this."

Scratching his head, Asakura Feng said, "Okay, I get it. Let's try to finish it before summer vacation, okay?"

"Summer vacation? That's more like it."

Asakura Reiko nodded with satisfaction, and then sent all the photos of Eriri in her mobile phone to Asakura Kaede.

After finishing all these, Asakura Reiko went to prepare dinner, and Asakura Kaede went upstairs back to her room.

After flipping through the photos, Asakura Kaede sent a message to Eriri, asking if something happened in the afternoon and why she didn't come for the gathering.

After waiting for a while, Eriri didn't reply. Asakura Kaede thought that Eriri might really have something to do, so she decided to call Kasumigaoka Utaha first.

Soon, the call was connected, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice came over: "Asakura-kun, you called me now, are you thinking about me?"

"...Senior, I want to talk to you about serious matters."

Having returned home and about to write, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry, please go ahead."

"The day after tomorrow, which is Sunday, is the release date of Senior Sister's novel. Are you going to go to the nearby sight to check the sales situation?"

"Want to see it in person?"

Originally, Kasumigaoka Utaha had not thought about this, but after hearing what Asakura Kaede said, she was somewhat tempted.

Chapter 65: Eriri, Not Even a Rookie (Please Save It!!)

Maybe a year or two later, when the novel is released, she won’t be so excited anymore, but now is the first time, even a girl as mentally strong as Kasumigaoka Utaha will still feel nervous and uneasy.

I went to the site to take a look, it seems to be really good.

"Sure, I really want to know the sales and response at the first time. Asakura-kun, shall we go together the day after tomorrow?"

"Of course, but you have to ask Eriri to come along, since she's the illustrator for your novel."

"Aren't there just the two of us?"

"...Senior, please stop teasing me, okay?"

Asakura Feng had seen through it. With a sharp eye like Kasumigaoka Utaha, she could definitely see that he had a good impression of Eriri, but since the other party didn't say it explicitly, Asakura Feng wouldn't say much.

"Okay, then don't tell me." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled happily, "So, have you told Eriri about that?"

"Not yet. She seems to be busy and didn't answer my call."

That guy is probably still shy and at a loss now. When he sees your call, he is unlikely to answer it.

"I see. I'll call her later. After all, it's my novel, so it would be better if I invite her myself."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior."

After hanging up the phone, Asakura Feng stretched. He had done quite a bit of exercise in today's sports meet and was not too tired, so he turned on his computer and connected the drawing tablet.

Then he took a book from the bookshelf and opened it.

Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

...........

Asakura Kaede was busy with something that no one knew about, and after eating some snacks, Kasumigaoka Utaha called Eriri.

Compared to the call from Asakura Kaede, this time after seeing that it was from Kasumigaoka Utaha calling, Eriri finally picked up the phone.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Hearing Eriri's voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile: "You didn't dare to answer Asakura-kun's call just now, but do you dare to answer mine?"
