My Cartoonist Girlfriend

After seeing Usami's expression, Asakura Feng also said: "Usami, do you want to say something?"

After hesitating for a moment, Usami looked at the president and Uchimaki Subaru who were also in the activity room, pointed outside the activity room, and said, "Let's talk outside."

Doubt.jpg

Although he didn't understand, Asakura Kaede still followed.

When the president saw the two of them leave, he looked at Uchimaki Subaru, who had already set up his drawing board, and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious? There's nothing to be curious about, right?" Uchimaki Subaru blinked and said, "Rather than being curious about this, I might as well prepare for the next painting competition. President, do you think it's better for me to draw a dog-eared girl or an elf this time?"

"..."

This person is beyond help, that's it.

However, the president did not take any other unnecessary actions. After all, the person who went out with Usami was Asakura Kaede, and it was absolutely impossible for these two people to be together. There must be something else going on.

After getting outside, Usami asked Asakura Kaede her questions.

"Asakura-san, have you had a fight with Eriri recently?"

"......ha?"

Asakura Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief: "Why do you say that?"

"Because... Because at noon, I noticed that Eriri ignored you. When I asked her, she said she didn't notice you, but I didn't think so, so I thought you two had a fight. But Eriri didn't say anything, so I had to ask you."

So that's how it is, Asakura Kaede said now she understood.

He stroked his chin, but Asakura Feng himself was also quite puzzled, and said: "It's impossible, I didn't quarrel with Eriri at all, nor did I make her angry. Hmm... do you think, could it be the day when girls have their period every month?"

Usami understood immediately. She, who never talked about such topics with boys, blushed immediately, but finally shook her head and said, "I don't think so. It should be some other reason."

"Really? Then I really can't think of it." Shrugging, Asakura Feng said with a smile, "But don't worry, Eriri will come over after she finishes her duty, and we'll know then, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Usami also smiled, looked at Asakura Feng, clenched her fist and said: "Asakura-kun, I will cheer for you!"

After saying that, he went back to the activity room.

Asakura Feng was also stunned for a moment, then smiled with emotion: "Did you see that? Judging from this, then maybe I don't need to cover it up too much. Next, let's go ahead and act."

Fifteen minutes later, Eriri finally arrived at the art club.

"Good afternoon... I'm so tired."

As soon as Ying Lili came in, she started complaining of being tired and sat on the chair and didn't want to move.

As soon as he sat down, Asakura Feng handed him a bottle of drink: "Here, juice. If you really feel tired from the duty, can't you ask Usami to help you? Or you can ask me to come too."

After a day of buffering, Eriri basically did what Kasumigaoka Utaha said and pretended that nothing had happened. She took the drink and said, "Hey, thank you. But you don't need to help me. Just clean and organize. There's not as much garbage as last time. Just take a rest."

After seeing the conversation between the two, Usami became even more confused.

Did I really not see it at noon? Am I overthinking?

Chapter 74: New Work? Yes and No (Please Collect!!!)

Usami really couldn't understand what the relationship between these two people was like now?

The girl's curiosity was fully displayed at this time, but she didn't know how to ask directly, so she could only stare blankly.

But soon, she was drawn back to her attention by Uchimaki Subaru's reminder.

"Usami-san, aren't you going to prepare a painting for the painting competition? Time is limited!"

"Forehead......"

Turning around, looking at the painting that Uchimaki Subaru had already started to draft, Usami also showed an awkward smile: "Ahaha, start right away, start right away."

She almost forgot that she still had to participate in the competition. Even Subaru Uchimaki was dragged into the competition by her. It would be too embarrassing if she slacked off by then.

So Usami focused her attention on the drawing board in front of her.

But...what should I draw?

The girl was at a loss again.

While he was thinking about this, Asakura Kaede on the other side did not take out his homework, but took out a book from his schoolbag that he had never brought to school before and started flipping through it.

After seeing this, Ying Lili moved her chair over curiously, and then saw some strange creatures and a lot of text in the book.

The page Asakura Kaede was looking at was a cat with a forked tail that didn't look too cute. It was a type of cat demon in Japanese mythology, Nekomata.

"Monster? What are you looking at?"

Showing the cover to Eriri, Asakura said, "One Hundred Demons Night Parade, it tells the legend of monsters."

"Why are you looking at this suddenly?"

Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Are you really writing a new work?"

Eriri's words also attracted the attention of the other three people in the activity room. The director also knew that Asakura Kaede was a light novel writer a few days ago, and had also read Soharu. Even Usami bought the first volume of Soharu out of curiosity and read it with great joy.

Uchimaki Subaru also stopped painting at this moment, looked at Asakura Kaede and asked, "Asakura, is Suqing going to be finished? You're thinking about a new book so soon?"

“Emm~~~ Actually it can’t be considered a new work. It’s not certain whether it will be released or not.”

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "It's just some ideas. Write them down when you have free time. We'll see. Maybe you'll see them soon, but you may never see them."

After hearing what Asakura Kaede said, everyone became even more curious. Eriri also asked, "What kind of story is it? It seems difficult to write a light novel about monsters."

The Minister also said: "As for the ones related to monsters, I have no recollection of light novels. If I recall further back, I guess Inuyasha is the only one that left the deepest impression on me."

"Inuyasha, I've seen it, it's super good!" Usami said excitedly when talking about the comics she had read.

"Okay, stop getting so excited."

Asakura Feng didn't want to reveal it so quickly, and said with a smile: "Let me keep it a little mysterious for now, and when the time comes, I will naturally let it out."

Seeing that Asakura Kaede didn't want to say more, everyone had no choice but to go about their own business.

Usami and Subaru Uchimaki continued to draw, the president was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and Eriri was sitting next to Asakura Kaede, doing her homework, occasionally glancing at Asakura Kaede's movements, watching him writing and drawing on the book.

After thinking for a while, she put down the pen, pulled Asakura Kaede's sleeve, and sent him a message on her cell phone.

Eriri: [Comics, I will be submitting to Jump soon.]

Asakura Feng glanced at Eriri who was sitting next to him and didn't dare to speak, then looked at the message on his phone, smiled and edited a message to reply.

Asakura Kaede: [So fast? Are you sure? ]

Eriri: [I don’t know. To be honest, this is the first time I find comics so difficult. Not only does it require the construction of a world view, but it also requires a sufficient outline, character design, and battle system. Just thinking about this aspect makes me lose sleep, and I feel like it’s not done well.]

Asakura Kaede: [According to what you said, then this submission is on the line, right? ]

Ying Lili: [Hehehe, be brave enough to try. At least you can talk to the editor and see where your problem lies. If it doesn't work the first time, you can try again the second time. I've just entered high school, so I still have plenty of time.]

After looking at his phone, Asakura Feng turned to look at Eriri who was smiling. It could be seen that she did not seem too nervous or disappointed, and her mentality was still very good.

After thinking about it, Asakura Feng sent another message.

Asakura Kaede: [In that case, I'll cheer you on. After the club activities are over, how about I take you to that Japanese confectionery shop you always wanted to go to? ]

Eriri's hand holding the phone paused for a moment, and she didn't dare turn around to look at Asakura Kaede. After sending a message on the phone, she immediately picked up a pen to do her homework.

Eriri: [Okay, then I have to finish my homework first! ]

However, I think 80% of these words were out of shyness, after all, Asakura Kaede didn't say that he wanted to bring anyone else along.

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Asakura Feng continued reading the book in a happy mood.

At almost five o'clock, the club activity ended and everyone said goodbye at the school gate.

Asakura Feng looked at Eriri and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's not too far from here, it won't waste your time going home."

Eriri nodded, then looked towards the school: "Is your bike okay?"

"It's okay if I don't ride for a day or two, and there are a lot of people on the road right now. I don't dare to bring people so blatantly."

When Eriri heard this, she recalled the scene when Asakura Kaede rode a bike to give her a ride home the previous night, and she couldn't help laughing.

Hoya is not far from Toyonosaki. It is only two stops away by train, and then Eriri can take a bus directly from Hoya to go home.

However, while waiting for the train, Asakura Kaede's expression was a little subtle.

"Hmm... I forgot that there are a lot of people riding the train at this time."

There are people queuing on the left, right, and behind. I guess when the tram arrives at the station, there will be quite a few people inside.

Eriri also said, "When I was in junior high school, I rarely participated in club activities and basically went home after school, so I didn't encounter such a crowded scene. Will it be crowded later?"

"That's not the case. After all, it's not the rush hour yet. But there shouldn't be a few people around. After all, most of the people around here are students, and only a few are office workers."

As they were talking, the train arrived at the station, and when the door opened, there were already quite a few people inside. Fortunately, some people were getting off the train, so Asakura Kaede hurried in with Eriri.

There was no need to think about getting a seat, so Asakura Feng could only let Eriri stand in the corner near the door and he would protect her in front of her.

"Hold on, it's only two stops away."

Ying Lili nodded with a slightly red face, and her little hands unconsciously clasped together.

Isn’t this a bit like the legendary wall-dong?

Chapter 75: The Fruit Queen and Her Friends (Please Collect!!!)

Asakura Feng actually didn't want this to happen, because the current scene, with people all around, was too unromantic.

With one hand on the wall beside Eriri, he kept some distance to avoid being pressed by the people behind him. Asakura Feng looked at Eriri helplessly and said, "In the future, you should take a taxi. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. When I turn 18, I will buy a car as soon as possible."

Hearing Asakura Kaede's complaints, Eriri couldn't help but laugh, she looked up at him and said, "You really are unbearable."

"It's okay if you're alone, but when you go out with girls, it's always a problem to be crowded, right?"

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, I have basically no place to spend my royalties, and it won't be difficult to get a driver's license when the time comes. There is an easy and convenient way, why not choose it?"

"That's true. Unless I go out by myself, I usually go out with my family in a private car." Eriri agreed with Asakura Kaede's idea, but she was a little depressed. "But I think it will be difficult to get a driver's license. Why do you think it's easy? I saw my mom driving, with the steering wheel, the accelerator, the brakes, and so on. It seems that she can't handle it at all."

Glancing at Eriri in surprise, Asakura Feng said, "Then I think Eriri, you should not take a driver's license in the future. It always feels dangerous. Well... if you really want to test whether you have talent, maybe you can buy a dedicated racing game peripheral to try it out?"

"Forget it. I basically only play Mario Kart as a racing game."

As they were talking, Eriri and Asakura Kaede looked at each other and both couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the tram just stopped at a station.

But few people got off the carriage. Instead, more and more people squeezed in, making the space in the carriage seem even smaller.

Eriri also saw that Asakura Kaede was forced to get closer to her. When she raised her head slightly, she seemed to be able to feel Asakura Kaede's breath and the close sight.

With nowhere to hide, Eriri could only say something provocative: "I just realized that you are quite tall."

"I just realized...is this true or not?"

Nodding, Eriri glanced at Asakura Kaede and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I was...too close to it, so I noticed it."

Asakura Feng also noticed Eriri's shyness. Plus, there were so many people around, so he felt a little uncomfortable. He could only look around and whispered, "It can't be helped. The average height of people in this country is not tall. Just look at the height of everyone in the car now."

Although Asakura Kaede's current height has not reached the expected 1.8 meters, as long as she stands up straight, she will be one of the few people with the tallest height in the carriage, and she will look down on everyone else.

It’s not that there are no tall people in this country, but relatively speaking, there are more people around the average height.

Asakura Feng also continued: "I estimate that I should be able to reach 1.8 meters by the end of the year. After all, I am still growing up."

"1.80 meters... My dad is only about 1.87 meters, but he's British." Eriri sighed and said, "I'm lucky. I'm the same height as my mom now, and I think I can still grow taller."

As Eriri spoke, she secretly compared her height with Asakura Kaede, and thought to herself that she should drink more milk when she got home, as such a huge height difference was not good.

Finally, the two of them made it to the next stop and quickly got out of the car.

After leaving the station, Asakura Kaede brought Eriri all the way to Hotaya.

I pushed the door open and went in, and just like last time, I saw Yukiho Kousaka, who was helping her family run the store, sitting at the counter.

"Xueho, are you back from school?"

"Ah, Brother Feng! Good afternoon!" Seeing Asakura Feng coming over, Kousaka Yukiho also greeted him happily, "Yes, school is over!"

Then, she saw Eriri coming in behind Asakura Feng with a curious look on her face, and she immediately exclaimed, "Girl...girl?! Brother Feng, you are walking with a girl?"

"..."

Asakura Feng's smile was completely gone. He went over and knocked on Kousaka Yukiho's head with his hand, saying unhappily, "Are you so surprised? I brought you a guest."
