My Cartoonist Girlfriend

After taking a sip of iced coffee, Asakura Feng ignored Eriri opposite him, leaned back on the soft and comfortable cushion of the booth, and exhaled: "I don't want to move after sitting down..."

After sipping the juice and secretly taking out the game to watch it happily, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede with some confusion and asked, "You look tired?"

"I can't help it. I could have had a good rest on the weekend, but I was forced to work hard for most of the day."

After waving his hand, Asakura Kaede finally started to observe Eriri's outfit today.

Over the white shirt is a light yellow vest, matched with jeans, the style is completely different from the usual uniform.

The iconic twin ponytails are still very cute.

After shaking his head to erase the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, he said, "So, Sawamura, did you stop me to ask something?"

"Forehead......"

Although she had originally planned to ask some questions, after Asakura Kaede brought it up, Eriri began to hesitate. She was not good at doing this kind of thing, let alone facing a classmate she had just known for a week.

“Nothing…nothing happened, ahahaha~~~~.”

"Ok?"

Looking at Eriri's confused look, Asakura Feng was also very confused and didn't know what was going on.

Moreover, Asakura Kaede would not be so narcissistic as to think that Eriri would have a good impression of him after just knowing each other for a week. After all, the two of them only had the chance to meet during the afternoon club activities.

After shifting his gaze and seeing the game in Eriri's hand, he speculated, "Could it be about you being a homebody?"

"I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

Eriri denied it with a blushing face.

"is it?"

Asakura Feng said this in denial, taking a sip of coffee: "Normative girls would be as excited as you to run to the game store to buy Memories of Autumn. If you say you are not a heavy otaku, I will never believe you. Don't worry, I just promised you that I won't tell anyone casually, and I don't have the habit of leaking secrets."

Although she didn't find the opportunity to ask questions, Ying Lili felt that she could try a different approach and talk more with the other party first and try to change the topic.

"So... you know a lot about ACG?"

Chapter 12 Yes, I can also turn into light. Do you want to see it?

Because of what happened in her childhood, Eriri has become cautious about things related to staying at home and never lets others know about her interests.

However, this time, with the appearance of Asakura Kaede, things seem to be starting to change.

At the end of last year, they met once at a doujin exhibition. Because of the exchange of their doujin books, Eriri has always remembered what Asakura Kaede looked like, and she worries from time to time whether her story will be exposed.

Especially after entering high school and visiting Toyo-no-Zaki and meeting Asakura Kaede, Eriri became even more worried.

But fortunately, Asakura Kaede did not recognize that the person she bumped into at the fan exhibition was herself, and she is currently in the stage where she is in the dark and Asakura Kaede is in the light.

After joining the same club, a somewhat weird art club, Eriri has been secretly observing Asakura Kaede.

Well, he looks like someone you can communicate with.

Facing Eriri's question, Asakura Kaede smiled and said, "Not bad, I've dabbled in a little bit of everything. Well...but I don't play many games like Memories of Autumn."

"You don't play this fun game often?"

Hearing what Asakura Feng said, Eriri immediately glared at Asakura Feng with dissatisfaction, showing her little tiger teeth and said loudly: "You should experience it carefully, many of the plots are great!"

Seeing Eriri trying her best, Asakura Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Why, aren't you worried that I'll tell others about it?"

"Humph, anyway, even if you really said it, I won't admit it. Then we'll see whether everyone believes me, the good girl in the eyes of the teacher, or you!"

“I have to say, it was indeed a good decision.”

Asakura Feng nodded, thinking that what Eriri said was not wrong.

"But even if you deny it, it will still have some impact. Don't worry, I said I won't do it, so just stay the same as you are in school."

"That's good......"

After muttering something quietly, Eriri looked around and found that there were not many people in the cafe. She took out a NS from her bag, unpacked the game she had just bought, and inserted the cartridge into it.

"Hehehe, I just happen to have some time, let's play for a while."

Asakura Feng also said helplessly: "You are really more of a otaku than I thought. There was someone here who wanted to drink coffee with you, but you ended up playing games?"

"You won't care anyway, right?"

"...No, I feel like I can't even win a game."

"what are you saying?"

"Nothing." Asakura Feng was relieved that his muttering was not heard, and then he took out a NS from his bag, "Although I'm a little tired, do you want to play some games together? Splatoon 2 should be available, right?"

"You brought one too?" After noticing that the other person also took out a red and blue NS like hers, Eriri pouted and said, "You're still blaming me."

"At least I didn't take it out first. So, do you want to play?"

"Play! Why not?"

Eriri immediately closed the game she had just opened, replaced the cartridge for Splatoon 2, and then added Asakura Kaede as a friend and started playing Splatoon together.

Although she wasn't playing a new game she had just bought, she usually could only play Splatoon with strangers online. But this was the first time she had played with someone offline.

As they entered the game, Eriri asked excitedly, "What's your rank now? I'm already at A!"

A: Yeah, they match well with Eriri.

After complaining in his mind, Asakura Feng said, "I haven't played much. I just reached S. I'm planning to push the score up again this weekend."

"..."

After sniffing, Ying Lili suppressed the sour feeling in her heart and said, "Then let's get started."

Next, the two of them played games in the cafe and chatted about various ACG topics while playing.

"Ah, dead again!"

After seeing her character being defeated, Eriri pursed her lips, looked at Asakura Kaede who was still fighting on the opposite side, thought for a while and then asked: "I suddenly remembered something."

Asakura Feng said without even looking up: "What?"

"Do you have a relative named Asakura Riku?"

"...who?"

"Asakura Riku." Eriri smiled slyly and gestured with her hands, saying, "You go, I go, here we go!"

"..."

Asakura Feng also remembered what the girl opposite him was saying, and his movements suddenly changed, and he was defeated.

Looking up at Eriri, Asakura Feng said expressionlessly: "Yes, I have a relative named Asakura Riku, and I also have an uncle named Belia. I can also turn into light. Do you want to see it?"

"Hehehe, I just remembered it too. When I first heard your name, I felt like I had some impression of it."

Eriri also noticed that Asakura Kaede was not angry, and she was drinking her drink and smiling happily.

To be honest, it wasn't just Eriri. In fact, Asakura Kaede also almost had a myocardial infarction when she saw Ultraman Geed on TV. After all, they have the same last name.

After Asakura discovered her hobby, Eriri finally found a way to tease Asakura. She became more and more happy and said happily: "Okay, let's continue!"

"Stop playing."

"Ugh?"

"Don't you see what time it is? It's time to go back." Taking out his cell phone, Asakura Kaede let Eriri see the time on the screen.

Half past four in the afternoon.

"Ah! Is it so late?"

Eriri also realized the time belatedly. She quickly ate the last bite of cake, put her NS in her bag, stood up and said, "No, I have to go back quickly! See you at school on Monday!"

"Well, see you on Monday."

After watching Eriri leave, Asakura Kaede packed up his things and went home.

Although I was busy in the library for so long and didn’t have a good rest afterwards, I still spent this afternoon quite comfortably.

When I got home, it was already five o'clock.

Mother Asakura Reiko came out of the kitchen and saw Asakura Feng who had changed into slippers and came in. She asked with concern: "Is there a lot of work at the library?"

"Fortunately, I was dragged over to sign a thousand copies of the novel. I was busy until two in the afternoon. I was almost exhausted."

"tired?"

Looking at the way her son spoke, Asakura Reiko was very confused.

He doesn't look very tired.

Chapter 13: Come on, son! (Please bookmark!!!)

After dinner, Asakura Kaede rested for a while, took a shower, and returned to the room to play games.

As soon as I came in, I saw my phone flashing.

After picking it up and turning on the screen, I found that it was a LINE message from Eriri.

After joining the art club, at the suggestion of the director, everyone in the art club exchanged contact information, and Asakura Kaede naturally also had Eriri's line number.

After clicking on the message, Asakura Kaede understood what Eriri wanted to say.

[You should have finished your homework, right? Go online and play games! ]

It was not easy to find a like-minded person who was in the same school and club as her and would not reveal her identity. Eriri was still excited during the time she had been at home since she said goodbye. After a short rest after dinner, she sent a message directly to Asakura Kaede.

After waiting for just over ten minutes, the message was still unread, which made Ying Lili a little depressed.

After seeing Eriri's message, Asakura Kaede did not object and replied happily.

[Sorry, I was taking a shower just now. I just saw the message. Please wait a moment and I will be online soon. ]

Since you are going to play games and play with others, you have to prepare everything first.

Holding a cell phone, Asakura Kaede came downstairs while asking Eriri what she was going to play.

After getting a bottle of Coke and two bags of potato chips from the refrigerator in the kitchen, Asakura Feng walked upstairs while playing with his cell phone under the watchful eyes of his parents.

After watching her son go up, Asakura Reiko came to her husband and whispered, "Honey, our son seemed a little strange when he came back this afternoon."

"It is true that there is a little bit, but it should be okay."

Nodding, Asakura Takaichi wasn't too worried, "Xiao Feng is a very precocious child, and if he were to encounter something, he wouldn't hide it from us, right?"

"That's right, but I'm still a little curious." Asakura Reiko said, "And remember, Xiao Feng said he would be busy at the library until the afternoon for two days, but it was after five when he came back. Do you think he was alone outside for the rest of the time?"

"I don't know, you mean..."

Asakura Reiko looked curious and said, "Yes, there must be something fishy going on. I will go check it out now."

Similar things have happened many times in the past few years, but none of them were because of my son's love affairs.

Asakura Takaichi also did not organize his wife, and said with a smile: "Then you better be careful and don't get caught."

After making an OK gesture to her husband, Reiko Asakura went upstairs with light steps.

In the bedroom, after bringing the things in, Asakura Kaede opened the Coke and took a sip, connected the earphones to the mobile phone, and answered the voice call from Eriri.

"You play more diverse games than I thought. You also play Monster Hunter?"

Then he turned on the TV and PS4Pro in the bedroom and sat down on the lazy sofa.

On the other side, Eriri, who was at home, looked similar to Asakura Kaede. She was wearing a nightgown and sitting in a duck position in front of the TV in the bedroom. She happily added Asakura Kaede as a friend on PSN.

"Hehehe, I play a lot of games. The only ones I'm not good at are probably those MOBA competitive games."

"Dota?"

"That's right. I'm not very good at playing either Dota or League of Legends. I deleted the game after screwing over the people I matched with a few times." Recalling the scene when she tried MOBA games before, Eriri was also quite helpless. "I really have no talent. In the end, I can only play GAL or those simulation business games on the computer."

"Yeah~~~ That's understandable. After all, these games are very selective. It's easy to get started, but it still takes a lot of practice to play well. There are also many hero characters. Even if you only play one position, you have to practice more than one."

During the discussion, Asakura Kaede also joined the meeting place opened by Eriri.
