My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"You...how do you know?"

"Because Asakura-kun called me. He was rejected by you and felt upset, so he came to me, his senior, for comfort."

"You can fool the devil, don't think I will believe it!"

"Oh my, I can't trick you. How boring." Kasumigaoka Utaha curled her lips and said, "My novel will be released the day after tomorrow. How about we go to the bookstore together to see how it goes? Asakura-kun will also come with us then."

"He...he will go too?"

"Of course, he was the one who suggested this." With her legs crossed and her legs wrapped in translucent black clothes gently swaying, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter if you don't come, Eriri. Asakura-kun and I can go and have a look together. Besides, I have no experience in dating boys, so it's not bad to take this opportunity to borrow Asakura-kun."

Without even thinking, Eriri shouted: "No!!!"

This shout startled Sayuri Sawamura, who was outside the door carrying a plate of cut fruits and was about to come in. She immediately opened the door a crack and eavesdropped.

"Ah, why not? You're not coming anyway, right?"

"Who said I wouldn't come?"

Eriri stood up and said angrily, "Time and place!"

Eriri felt a little regretful at this moment. Why was she so timid and gave that guy Kasumigaoka Utaha the opportunity to provoke her constantly?

Eriri was not sure whether Kasumigaoka Utaha would attack Asakura Kaede. Even from a girl's perspective, Kasumigaoka Utaha was excellent in every aspect. She was much taller than herself and had a better figure. Her appearance and beautiful blonde hair gave Eriri some confidence.

Although she didn't know much about male psychology, there was one thing that Ying Lili was very clear about, that is, boys were all lustful. There were few boys who didn't want to take a few more glances at a girl with a good figure, unless the other person was a homosexual.

Even though she now considers Kasumigaoka Utaha a friend, Eriri still feels that she needs to be on guard against what she should be on guard against.

So she said, "Don't think you are great just because you have big breasts. I won't let you succeed. I will be there on time the day after tomorrow. Don't forget to tell me the time and place!"

Then he hung up the phone and prepared to call Asakura Kaede.

Seeing Eriri finish her phone call, Sayuri Sawamura pushed the door open and walked in at the right time.

"Mother?!"

Sayuri Sawamura's sudden appearance also startled Eriri.

"Eri, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"That girl Kasumigaoka Utaha asked me to go with her on Sunday to see the sales of her novel."

Sayuri Sawamura nodded. So that's how it is. However, Eriri's tone when she called just now seemed like there was something else.

But apart from this, Sayuri Sawamura has more important things to ask her daughter.

Putting the fruit down, she asked, "Ying Lili, why did you suddenly leave this afternoon? Did something happen?"

Sayuri Sawamura's sudden question made Eriri a little slow to react, and the next second, her little face turned red, and she turned away, not daring to look at her mother.

"No...nothing."

"Really?"

She walked in front of her daughter again, looked at her and said, "Eri, when can you change your personality? I'm not just teasing you. If you have any troubles, I can give you some advice!"

"Woo..."

Ying Lili glanced at her mother, lowered her head and hesitated for a while before she whispered, "Well... let me tell you, you can't tell Dad. Only the two of us know."

"sure, no problem."

Then, Eriri also began to talk about what she saw in the afternoon when she was pulled by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

And when she heard that Asakura Kaede did not deny that she liked Eriri, and looked at Eriri's smile with squinted eyes, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but smile.

But, after listening.

"Snapped!"

After hitting her daughter on the head, Sayuri Sawamura said speechlessly, "So, you just slipped away like that?"

Really, has this girl played all those galgames and watched all those comics and animations in the past few years in vain?

"No...what else? I haven't figured out how to face him. What if he finds out?"

Covering her head and looking at her mother, Eriri said with a pout.

"What do you see? Do you see that you like him?"

"Woo..."

"Hehe, do you feel threatened now?" Seeing her daughter like this, Sayuri Sawamura also said, "Indeed, that Kasumigaoka Utaha is very beautiful and has such a good figure. No boy would not be attracted to her. It's normal for you to feel a sense of crisis. But the more times like this, the more you can't be shy. You have to be brave enough to attack, understand?"

Sayuri Sawamura felt that it was time to pass on some of her own past love experiences to her daughter.

Chapter 66: Ways to Liven Up the Atmosphere

After staying in Eriri's room for more than half an hour, Sayuri Sawamura left her daughter who was in deep thought and went out.

After her mother left, it took a long time for Ying Lili to come back to her senses. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "How can I be as brave as you!"

Then, he had no interest in touching the computer anymore and threw himself on the bed. After spinning around twice with the pillow in his arms, he looked at the ceiling and murmured, "Well... take it easy for a while. After dinner, I'll call Asakura back."

After dinner, Asakura Kaede, who was still busy in the room, received a call from Eriri.

"Good evening, Eriri. Are you done with your work?"

Hearing Asakura Kaede's voice, Eriri felt a little guilty and said in a lower voice: "Well, I'm free now. Sorry, I had to leave suddenly this afternoon because of something."

"it does not matter."

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Senior Kasumigaoka has asked you, right? Let's go check out the sales of her novel together the day after tomorrow, Sunday."

"Well, I told you, we'll go together then."

Sitting on the computer chair, Ying Lili hugged her legs and smiled. She blushed and said, "What do you think the sales of her novel will be like on the first day?"

"Well... after all, the theme is different from the mainstream light novels, so it may not be that popular, but the reviews from people who read it later will definitely not be bad. As it spreads little by little, the sales should still be very good."

"I see... That's not bad."

Eriri nodded. She knew the limitations of Kasumigaoka Utaha's novels. Compared to the more light-hearted and cheerful light novels, her novels actually had more of a youth literature feel, and their audience could not be as large as Suqing's.

But Eriri has already finished reading the first volume, and feels that even if the sales volume doesn’t top the charts, it is definitely a high-quality novel, and its popularity won’t be too low.

However, after saying this, Eriri suddenly became a little nervous and didn't know what to say. She also instantly forgot the words to some of the dialogues she had prepared.

Asakura Feng was also a little surprised when he found that Eriri was silent on the other end of the phone. But it was not a big deal, and Eriri did not say that she did not want to talk anymore, so Asakura Feng said, "Eriri, you should have nothing to do tonight, right?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

"Then how about playing games together? You must be pretty tired after the midterm exams. Besides the assignments for the art department, you also have to draw comics for submission, right? Today is Friday, let's play games together to relax."

In fact, Asakura Kaede is not very good at communicating with girls, but Eriri is special. As a stay-at-home girl, there are many things you can communicate with her, and playing games together can quickly liven up the atmosphere.

After hearing this, Ying Lili first breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily responded: "Okay, let's play games!"

"Then you decide, what to play?"

"Hmm~~~" Ying Lili thought for a while, looked at the icons on the computer desktop, and decided: "I want to challenge myself and play APEX!"

APEX, a battle royale game with the same world view as Titanfall, is a new game launched in February 19.

And if Asakura Kaede remembers correctly, this game had more than one million players playing on the day it was released, so it can be said to be a hit.

Although the popularity has declined a bit now in May, it is still a very popular multiplayer chicken-eating game.

Hearing that Eriri chose this game, Asakura Feng also smiled and said, "It's really a challenge to yourself. Shooting games are still quite difficult for you. But be mentally prepared. I'm not very good at this game."

Asakura Kaede plays some shooting games, such as COD and Battlefield, but rarely plays PUBG games. She has only played a little Fortnite, and has basically never played PUBG. However, APEX also has hero skills, so it is not just about guns. If you practice more, it should be okay.

"Hehe!" Ying Lili was also emotional at this moment, and said confidently, "I didn't have any teammates before. It's boring to match with strangers alone. I don't like talking to strangers on the phone. Now I have to practice hard!"

"Then I'll wait and see."

Without further ado, log into the game directly. Ying Lili's friend has already been added, so just invite her directly. Two people plus a savage will play the game.

Of course, they didn't turn on the voice chat in the game. Asakura Kaede only used other software to talk with Eriri. Even when the first wild man they matched with saw Eriri's name and thought she was a girl and started typing to chat her, the two of them ignored him. They just played together from beginning to end.

For unknown reasons, this single player who was matched received tons of critical hits.

Throughout the entire night, Asakura Kaede and Eriri had been playing APEX. Asakura Kaede was wearing headphones, and Eriri's various cute exclamations kept coming out of her headphones.

Although it is tiring to concentrate on playing FPS, staying up late is not unbearable when playing with girls.

............

Sunday, 8am.

After getting up early, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and changed my clothes.

Standing in front of the floor-length mirror, looking at his outfit, Asakura Feng stretched his legs and thought, "I feel like I've grown taller recently."

At this age, I am still growing taller, so Asakura Feng feels that the frequency of buying clothes has increased.

When he went downstairs, he saw a line on the wall of the living room that was drawn by his family when they measured his height in the past. It was currently drawn at 1.8 meters.

When I stood over and looked, I found that he was already 1.77 meters tall.

"Well... at this rate, I think I'll be 1.80 meters tall by the end of the year."

Although in Japan, boys over 1.7 meters tall are definitely not considered short, Asakura Kaede still hopes to be 1.8 meters tall. At present, this wish is still easy to achieve.

Coming out of the kitchen, Asakura Reiko saw her son's action and came over to take a look curiously: "Oh, Xiaofeng is already this tall? Mom didn't even notice!"

"After all, we see him every day, so it's normal that we can't see the slightest changes." Asakura Feng said with a smile, "If I went abroad to study in high school and came back every six months, you would definitely be able to see the changes in my height."

My father, who was reading a newspaper, looked over and asked, "Do you want to study abroad? This is very beneficial to you, both in terms of expanding your experience and the ability to live on your own."

"Emm~~~ I don't have this idea at the moment."

Shrugging his shoulders, Asakura Feng came to the dining table, sat down and started eating breakfast.

Chapter 67 Novel Release (Please Collect!!!)

After breakfast, Asakura Kaede was ready to go out. The appointment with Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha was at nine in the morning, so now was just the right time.

Asakura Reiko looked at her son who had just changed his clothes and said with a smile, "Are you going out with Eriri?"

"Well, there's also Kasumigaoka-senpai whom you met yesterday. Her novel is on sale today, and we've agreed to go check out the bookstore."

"?"

Asakura Reiko was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it a date?

Seeing the look in his mother's eyes, Asakura Feng couldn't help but said, "Don't keep thinking about this kind of thing, okay? Everything should be done step by step. Mom, you are still young, why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's what I said."

After thinking about it carefully, Asakura Reiko knew that she really couldn't keep staring at him, but sometimes she just couldn't help but want to gossip. Should she say that this is indeed a woman's nature?

"Okay, then mom won't ask any more questions. By the way, Xiao Feng, when you come back, bring me a light novel written by your senior. I looked it up online before, and it seems to be a youth romance story? If it's this type, mom would be interested in reading it."

"I see. I'll bring you a copy."

As he spoke, Asakura Feng also changed his shoes and said, "Then I'm going out."

"Be careful on the road~~~"

After her son left, Asakura Reiko cleaned up the kitchen and went back to her room to change clothes. Today she had an appointment with Sayuri Sawamura and two ladies she met yesterday to go shopping together.

...........

Because the agreed location was near a large bookstore, Asakura Kaede took the train directly to the destination.

After leaving the station, there was still about five or six minutes to the destination. While walking, Asakura Feng called Eriri to ask if she had arrived.

"Wow... I overslept, but my mom has woken me up, so I'll be here on time before 9 o'clock!"

While talking to Asakura Kaede with wireless headphones on, Eriri crossed her legs high and put on her jeans with great effort.

"It's only fifteen minutes until nine o'clock. Are you sure you can make it?" After hearing this, Asakura Feng also said with a smile, "If you are late by then, even if I speak up for you, I'll probably be teased by the senior."

"I won't be late, I'll ask my mom to take me here!"

"Is that so? Then I'll wait for you to come over. I've already seen the senior. I'll hang up now."

"Yeah, see you later."
