My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"No problem, it's a deal!"

Oosaka Taiga, who never thought that he and Kushieda Minori would lose, agreed immediately and pulled his friend aside.

Kitamura Yusaku, who loves the excitement, also ran over and acted as the referee.

Chapter 78: Eriri's Departure (Please bookmark!!)

Originally, Asakura Feng thought that with Oosaka Taiga's small stature, his badminton skills should be average. He could just let him off a little, play a back-and-forth game, and finally miss a few balls to give Takasu Ryuji a chance to entertain and show off.

Moreover, Minori Kushieda on the opposite side was smiling the whole time, and it was obvious that she was just having fun. It was impossible for her to be using her full strength like she usually does in the softball team training.

However, after the start, Asakura Kaede really didn't expect how lame his teammate was.

It's okay for Osaka Taiga. After he hit the ball, if it was a little higher, the little tiger would have to work hard to catch it.

But what about Takasu Ryuji?

Whenever the ball came to Kushieda Minori, Takasu Ryuji would stare at Kushieda Minori's active figure in a daze, and by the time he reacted, it was too late to catch the ball.

In the end, although Asakura Kaede wanted to fight back, he was dragged down by his teammates and could not do it alone, and the score ended at 18:10.

After putting down the racket, Oosaka Taiga put his hands on his hips with a smug look on his face, looked at Asakura Kaede and said, "Hehehe, you are such a wimp. You still want to fight me? Go buy some drinks. I want a Coke!"

Losing doesn't matter, the key is that the loss was really miserable. Asakura Feng looked at Takasu Ryuji helplessly and pulled this guy to buy drinks.

Behind the two of them, Kitamura Yusaku also quickly said, "Asakura, bring me a bottle of Coke too!!!"

"roll!"

That being said, after returning, Asakura Feng still brought a bottle of Coke for Kitamura Yusaku. He paid for his own and Kitamura's two bottles, while Takasu Ryuji asked her to pay for the drinks of the two girls.

After receiving the drink, Kushieda Minori smiled and said, "Thank you, Takasu-san. Ah~ It feels so good to drink a bottle of sports drink after exercise!"

Oosaka Taiga also opened his Coke and took a sip happily. He looked at Takasu Ryuji who had a fierce look in his eyes and said, "You look very capable, but I didn't expect you to be such a bad player. However, if you have such a good opportunity, remember to come to us again in the future. It's a waste not to drink the free drinks."

"......" Takasu Ryuji twitched the corners of his mouth, barely maintaining his expression and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you win next time."

Although he lost the money for two bottles of drinks, he also took this opportunity to talk to Kushieda Minori. Takasu Ryuji simply forgot about Oosaka Taiga's provocation and didn't care at all.

It’s just a pity for Asakura Kaede, who is still upset about the badminton score.

After making a good start, Takasu Ryuji was finally able to talk to Kushieda Minori smoothly when he met her several times at school.

The only thing that made him a little depressed was that there was always Oosaka Taiga by the side of Kushieda Minori.

Two days passed smoothly and it was Friday.

Just as I finished my meal and was about to take a rest, Ying Lili's message came.

Eriri: [We're going to Jump after school, and my mom will pick me up.]

Asakura Feng thought about it and it seemed that what he was talking about was indeed what happened in the past few days.

He immediately sat on the chair and started replying to the message.

Asakura Kaede: [How are the preparations going? ]

Eriri: [The closer it gets to this point, the less confident I feel. Actually, my mom has also read my comics, and she said that the main problem is the story framework, which cannot be fixed in a short period of time. When I submitted my comic today, her advice to me was more about understanding my shortcomings from a professional editor, which is the same as what I thought before.]

It can be seen that Eriri still maintains a good mentality, which makes Asakura Feng feel a lot more relieved.

Asakura Kaede: [In that case, then keep going. When I first started writing light novels, I also wrote a lot of back and forth before I finished the first volume. Then I also made a lot of revisions based on the opinions of editor Nakajima. An experienced editor can indeed give you a lot of useful suggestions.]

On the other side, Eriri, who was carefully texting with Asakura Kaede in the classroom, smiled after seeing his reply, clenched her fists, and silently encouraged herself.

..........

The afternoon class ended quickly, and to be honest, Asakura Kaede was not in the mood to participate in the following club activities.

After calling the director to ask for leave, Asakura Kaede packed her things and prepared to go to the library. Although she was still on vacation, she would occasionally go there to show her presence and find the editor to learn about the animation of her novel.

I have participated in an animation meeting before, and the meeting with StudioDEEN was very pleasant. They also listened to my opinions carefully and prepared to make a "completely carefree, joyful different world adventure animation."

In short, as long as the story is not changed, the characters can let themselves go. If it was another novel, Asakura Kaede would care, but for Soharu, why do we need such delicate lines? Just make Aqua more mentally retarded, and make Darkness more masochistic, isn't that how the characters are used?

Although the people at StudioDEEN were quite surprised when the suggestion was first made, they soon joined Asakura Kaede in the excitement.

After packing his schoolbag and walking out of the classroom, Asakura Feng unexpectedly saw Kasumigaoka Utaha walking towards him. Judging from her purpose, she should be looking for him.

"Senior?"

"Good afternoon, Asakura-kun." Coming in front of Asakura Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile, "You won't be going to the club this afternoon, right?"

"Emm~~~ Did Ying Lili tell you too?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said, "So I thought you might be worried, so I came to ask you if you want to go to the Shueisha neighborhood together to wait for the results."

Asakura Feng looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise: "I didn't expect that senior sister cares so much about Eriri."

"After all, we are friends and partners, right?"

Thinking back on the current relationship between the two, it was reasonable for Kasumigaoka Utaha to do this, but Asakura Feng still shook his head: "No need to go there, you have to have some confidence in Eriri, she won't be discouraged by a small setback. I'm going to the library next, what about you, senior?"

"In that case, let's go together. I also want to know the latest situation."

Soon, the two of them went downstairs together.

After the two left, some students who were still in the classroom popped their heads out and began to discuss in low voices.

I guess in a few days, other gossip will be circulating in the school.

Chapter 79: Asakura Kaede gradually reveals her true colors

After leaving the school gate, Kasumigaoka Utaha originally said that she wanted to take the train to the library, but when Asakura Kaede thought about how she and Eriri rode the train that day, he directly refused and chose a taxi.

Just kidding, it would have been okay if it was Eriri that day, but if it was Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the environment in the car was the same as that time, Asakura Kaede really couldn't guarantee that she could control herself.

Some things are better to be avoided if possible.

Soon, the taxi arrived, and after telling the destination, the car started quickly.

Sitting in the back seat, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Asakura Kaede and said, "We can take the train, why do we have to take a taxi?"

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Asakura Kaede described the scene when he and Eriri took the train a few days ago.

After hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but laugh: "So, Asakura-kun, are you worried about my safety, or do you not have confidence in yourself?"

"All of them."

Asakura Feng said frankly: "I'm not a saint. Senior sister is so beautiful, I'm not sure I can really remain calm. Of course, this is just my own casual worry, senior sister, don't take it to heart. But to be honest, if I have enough money, I still prefer to take a taxi, at least I don't have to worry about not having a seat."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very pleased with Asakura Kaede's answer. Asakura Kaede's frankness also made Kasumigaoka Utaha distinguish him from most of the boys in the school.

Although beautiful girls will attract more attention from the opposite sex, they will also be more wary of men. After all, there will always be people looking at them with obscene eyes, and it is impossible not to notice it.

Looking at Asakura Kaede, Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a hint of sourness in her tone: "Asakura-kun, do you know what I'm thinking about now?"

"what?"

"Eri is such a fool, how come she has such good luck?"

"Stupid..."

Asakura Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "She's not stupid, but I think Eriri's thoughts are easy to guess, right? If you suddenly give her a blow, her expression will change instantly."

"Yes, that's true."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Asakura-kun, you know what? You are the boy who talked the most to me since I went from junior high school to high school."

"Um... should I act happier?" With a smile, Asakura Feng said with understanding, "It's not hard to guess. After all, you are pretty, and it's normal for boys of the same age to want to get to know you. Find out the other party's purpose clearly, and if you don't have any ideas, just don't give them hope."

“That’s what I’ve always done.”

With her arms folded, Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled, "My mother always told me to be careful not to be fooled so easily by boys outside. I was smart since I was a child, so I always remembered her words. And to be honest, most boys are quite childish and have no interest in communicating."

This is true. Because they develop earlier and are more delicate in mind, most girls mature earlier than boys of the same age and think more about various aspects.

After a pause, Kasumigaoka Utaha continued, "There are indeed relatively few boys like Asakura-kun. You are much more mature than your peers, and you are much more steady in your work. In addition, we are colleagues, so it is very easy to get along with you and communicate with you, and I don't have to worry too much. But sometimes, I doubt whether the charm in me does not exist."

The slightly teasing words that followed also made Asakura Kaede, who was originally smiling, look a little embarrassed.

"Uh, there's no doubt that Senior is very beautiful."

"Really?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and asked, "So Asakura-kun, if Eriri didn't exist, do you think you would have taken the initiative to pursue me, your senior?"

"Senior, isn't your question a bit dangerous?"

"Don't think too much about it, it's just a normal chat."

"So I really said that, didn't I?" After seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha nod, Asakura Feng said, "How should I put it? I believe in feelings more. As for deciding whether to pursue someone based on appearance alone, that doesn't apply to me. If that's the case, there are already quite a few cute girls I know, and some of them look just as good as you, senior sister."

Asakura Feng was referring to the Guohuang sisters and Uinori, whom she had known for two or three years. The Guohuang sisters were more suitable to be younger sisters, so I won't say more. As for Sonoda Umi and Minami Kotori, both were very suitable candidates to be girlfriends or even wives.

But Asakura Kaede simply didn't have any feelings for anything further, otherwise she wouldn't have been single from junior high school until now.

"Oh, Asakura-kun knows other cute girls? Aren't you afraid that Eriri will think too much if she finds out?"

"I've seen it once, and it's nothing. What should I be afraid of?" Asakura Feng shrugged, looking calm.

However, Eriri was indeed a little nervous that day.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Asakura Kaede in surprise. Is this really possible? Eriri really didn't react at all? Isn't she too calm?

"Wait, let's not go off topic. Asakura-kun, don't talk about your relationship with other girls for now."

"Senior, please be more serious in your words."

Shaking his head, Asakura Feng continued, "Hmm... what were we talking about? By the way, I believe in feelings. Although appearance is important, I believe in feelings more. Eriri... Actually, I didn't think about closing the distance and pursuing her quickly at the beginning. It was mainly because I felt that God was helping me."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Senior should know this, right? Eriri has always been acting like a perfect young lady in school."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said, "That's right. She doesn't want anyone to know her other side. Did she reveal it to you in advance? But didn't you already know it?"

"I know, but I won't just expose the secrets she wants to hide." Speaking of this, the smile on Asakura Feng's face became more obvious, "But I couldn't help but let that girl expose it in front of me. She went to a game store to buy games that day, and I happened to go to the same store."

So this is ah.

Kasumigaoka Utaha understood that this was equivalent to a scene of self-destruction. Even if Eriri wanted to escape, she wouldn't be able to.

Kasumigaoka Utaha showed an expression of immediate understanding, and Asakura Feng said with a smile: "At that time, we were already members of the same club, and we were basically familiar with each other, so with this exposure, my relationship with Eriri also became closer."

Looking at the smile on Asakura Kaede's face, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but sigh, is this what they call fate?

Chapter 80: Machida Sonoko is stimulated (Please collect it!!)

Listening to Asakura Kaede telling about some things that happened after she met Eriri, although it felt like dog food was being forced into her mouth, Kasumigaoka Utaha still gained something for her novel writing.

The taxi soon arrived at the library building, and after paying a hefty fare, the two got off.

After entering the editorial department, Editor Nakajima was also surprised by the sudden appearance of Asakura Kaede.

"Is the new volume finished?"

"Not that fast! Why do you think I'm going to give you the manuscript as soon as I come here?!!!"

Asakura Kaede said she was very upset and said she would not have come if she had known.

Editor Nakajima also laughed: "It can't be helped. You always give me the new volume early. Unless you told me you had something to do in advance, when you come here, you always hand in your manuscript."

"...So it's my fault?"

"No, no, Xiao Feng, it's great that you're willing to come over and sit down. Sit down first. I'll go get you something to drink. Coffee, okay? Where's Teacher Xia Shizi? Coffee too, please?"

Machida Yuanzi also stood up at this time and said quickly: "Nakajima-senpai, I will go and get ready."

This kind of thing is more suitable for her as a younger generation to do.

However, Editor Nakajima waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll go. Machida, you can tell Ms. Kasumi Shiko about the recent sales of the novel."

Seeing that Editor Nakajima had walked out directly, Machida Yuanzi had no choice but to sit down. She looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "So, little Utaha, you came here today to ask about the sales of your novel, right? Hehehe, it's very good! Wait a minute, I'll get you the statistics!"

He moved his chair to his desk, found a document he had just printed, and handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
