My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"You guy!"

After using a little force and making the thug scream in pain, Asakura Feng looked at the old lady over there, "Are you okay?"

Shaking her head, the old lady said: "No, it's okay, but this person..."

The old lady was obviously worried that something might happen to the two children who stood up for her.

"That's good. Don't worry. This guy doesn't have the guts to retaliate."

After replying, Asakura Feng looked at the gangster and said, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet. Do you know whose business this is?"

"Who do I care who he belongs to? You're dead, you know that?"

"Oh? Really?" Asakura Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Even if this is the property of the Shinomiya family, do you dare to say that?"

Eriri, who had entered the inner circle, was surprised when she heard Asakura Kaede say this: "The Shinomiya family's assets?"

Then, he turned around curiously and looked around, and sure enough, he saw the logo of the Sigong Group in the small corners of some billboards.

"I told you that Feng-kun would not do this without considering the consequences. It turns out that you already knew that it was Kaguya-senpai's family."

"Backer?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in confusion after hearing Eriri's words, "Do you know anyone from the Shinomiya family?"

"Hey, let's talk about this later. Let's wait for Feng Jun to sort out the issues here first."

At this moment, several supermarket managers finally rushed over, along with two security guards.

After checking the surveillance footage, the supermarket staff who knew what happened took the gangster away from Asakura Kaede without any further explanation.

The manager patted the thug on the head without hesitation and apologized to the guests around him, "I'm sorry. It was my negligence that allowed this guy to sneak in. When you check out later, you can get a coupon and a small gift at the cashier. We promise that such things will not happen again in the future."

After the customers dispersed, the manager apologized to the old lady, confirmed that she was not injured, gave her some compensation, and exchanged contact information in case of any subsequent accidents. Then he said to Asakura Kaede and Iino Miko, "Thank you for your bravery just now. I am the manager of the supermarket. I was in the warehouse checking the newly arrived goods, so I was not notified immediately."

Iino Miko waved her hands and said, "It's okay. It's what I should do."

Asakura Feng shrugged and said, "It's okay for me, but you guys should pay more attention to security in the future."

"Yes, yes, this neighborhood thug has been a bit restless recently. He needs to be taught a lesson."

After apologizing again, the person in charge left with his men. But before leaving, he took a few more glances at the petite girl, as if he recognized her identity.

"Just in case, let's notify them and let them know everything is done."

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha came over. Eriri came to Asakura Kaede to check on her and said, "Kaede-kun, are you okay?"

"It's okay, didn't you see it all?"

After comforting Eriri, Asakura looked at Iino Miko who seemed a little overwhelmed and said, "You are really brave to stand up alone."

"Ah, this is what I should do. My parents taught me not to lose my sense of justice!" The girl said with gratitude, "But thank you for your help, otherwise I really couldn't hold on by myself, and many people just watched the fun."

"Well, it's human nature. Most people don't like trouble. I'm the same. It's just that I saw that you were a student of Shuchiin, and I knew that this was the property of the Shinomiya family, so I helped you."

"Are you from Shuchiin too?"

"No." Asakura Kaede smiled and shook her head. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Asakura Kaede, and I'm a first-year student at Toyosaki Academy. But I know a few seniors from Shuchiin."

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha also introduced themselves shortly afterwards.

"I see." The girl nodded and said politely, "Hello, I'm Iino Miko, a first-year student at Shuchiin Academy High School."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Iino Miko in surprise: "Huh? Isn't she from junior high school?"

"No! I'm just not that tall!"

Being touched on her sore spot about height, the girl blushed in anxiety and protested loudly while standing on tiptoe.

Asakura Kaede looked at Iino Miko with surprise. He just happened to meet a student from Shuchiin and helped a little. Who would have thought that he would actually know Zayoi?

Does this count as knowing everyone in the Shuchiin Student Union? Although Iino Miko hasn't joined yet.

Compared to the surprise of Asakura Kaede and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri's expression showed a little surprise but more of relief.

It turns out that I am not that short after all. Iino Miko, who is the same age as me, is much shorter than me.

1.5 meters? Probably less than that, right?

While thinking about this, Iino Miko finally found out who the student from Shuchiin that Asakura Kaede knew was?

"Huh? Aren't these all members of our student council? I didn't expect Asakura-san to know the president and vice-president, and he even knows Fujiwara-san!"

When talking about Fujiwara Chika, Iino Miko's voice suddenly lowered: "It's really enviable..."

"Hmm? Did you say anything, Iino-san?"

"No, no." Shaking her head repeatedly, Iino Miko said, "I just think it's such a coincidence. Even though we're not from the same school, we can still know each other like this. Thank you again for your help today, Asakura-san."

"Thank you, once is enough."

Asakura Feng smiled and waved her hand, pointing at the shopping cart next to Eriri: "Okay, we're done, we need to check out over here. Iino-san is here to buy something as well, right? We won't bother you anymore."

"See you!"

After watching the three people leave, Iino Miko took a long time to react: "Ah, I should have asked for their contact information so I can thank them properly some other day!"

Chapter 153 Great Discovery (4/5)

After leaving the supermarket, Asakura Feng took out his phone and searched for it, then showed the screen to the two of them and said with a smile, "If I had known it was her, I wouldn't have needed to help."

Seeing the message on her phone, Eriri reacted, "Iino... Kaede-kun, are you saying that she is the daughter of that Supreme Court judge?"

"Yes, the surname Iino is not common, and they do look somewhat similar, so it's probably right."

Putting down the phone, Asakura Feng said to the two, "When I was chatting with Uncle Spencer before, I happened to talk about judges and lawyers, so I simply looked up some information about it. After hearing the name Iino Miko, I had a guess, but I was embarrassed to mention it in front of the person involved, and there was no need to do so."

Compared to these two people, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed less calm: "The Supreme Court, the Shinomiya family and so on, when did you get to know so many powerful people?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

Asakura Kaede looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a look of astonishment, but then he thought again and it seemed that she had never said that.

So I explained, "Do you remember Takasu, who was in my class? He worked part-time at the same place as the president of the high school student council of Shuchiin. After they met, Eriri and I went there for dinner one day and met the vice president and secretary of the student council who also went there. Oh, the vice president is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, and the secretary is the daughter of a political family."

After listening to this, Kasumigaoka Utaha inexplicably felt like she had missed an entire season of the anime.

Sighing, she decided not to think about it anymore, as it had nothing to do with her anyway.

"Okay, we've sold out, time to go, right?"

Indeed, it was not convenient at all to carry so many things in his hands, so Asakura Feng directly called a taxi and returned to the apartment.

From the moment she stood in front of the apartment building, walked in, and took the elevator to Asakura Kaede and Eriri's home, Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent.

It was not until she came in and sat down that she said under Eriri's curious gaze, "Just now, I was calculating whether I could buy a property here with the money I made from my novels."

"Hmm...what was the result?"

With a deep sigh, Kasumigaoka Utaha replied: "Although the sales are still good now, we have to maintain this pace and at least release five or six volumes. But sales will definitely fluctuate. I haven't even released the second volume yet."

After hearing this, Ying Lili smiled and said, "Don't think about it. The houses here are expensive. There's no need for you to move out, right?"

"That's true. Even if I want to move out, I can just buy an apartment for one person. At most, it would be a two-bedroom apartment. It would be a waste for me to have such a large space."

Patting her cheeks, Kasumigaoka Utaha regained her original mood and smiled: "However, if we rent a house, it won't be difficult. Eriri, how about I be your neighbor?"

In the back, Asakura Kaede, who was putting the unused ingredients from lunch into the refrigerator, heard this and said, "Senior, are you going to do whatever it takes to get the ingredients?"

"Oh my, you can't say that, Asakura-kun. This is for artistic creation, it's just normal consumer expenditure."

It really is a set of things to say.

Of course, it's just talk. If she moves out alone, Utaha Kasumigaoka doesn't think she can take care of herself.

There was no rush to make lunch, so Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested that Eriri take her on a tour. Eriri naturally had no objection to this, as she had taken Usami Mizuki on a tour once before.

First, he brought Kasumigaoka Utaha to their studio.

After pushing the door open and going in, Ying Lili said with a smile: "How is it? This is Fengjun and I's studio. We have two computers and a sofa for resting. Most importantly, the lighting is great!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded repeatedly: "Although I heard you talk about the prices here, this price is indeed worth it."

"Hehe, of course. Even though I didn't stay here for a few days, it felt great!"

"I guess living together feels great, right?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense!" Ying Lili quickly turned around and went out, "Come on, I'll take you to see other places."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was not in a hurry either, she followed behind and said with a smile: "Okay, how about we go to your room and take a look?"

"Row."

Eriri agreed, and then unconsciously brought Kasumigaoka Utaha to the door of Asakura Kaede's bedroom.

As soon as I put my hand on the door handle, Eriri reacted, blushed, coughed, and said, "I just moved in, and I'm not used to it yet. My room is over here."

Watching Eriri's movements, Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and felt that she had discovered a blind spot.

After entering the "correct" room, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at this bedroom that didn't have many personal characteristics and said, "It really hasn't been decorated yet."

"Yes, but don't worry, stabilize the serialization first, and then decorate it slowly when you have time."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha walked around Eriri's bedroom, and then confirmed her guess. She asked with a smile: "Hey, Eriri, is there something wrong with your room? Why don't you even have a pillow or a quilt on the bed?"

"Ugh?"

Eriri looked at her bed and felt a wave of regret. Her pillow and blanket were now in Asakura Kaede's room, so of course she didn't have any here.

How could I forget about this?

"Oh, this, this, take it to wash, take both the pillow and the blanket to wash!"

Seeing Eriri's flustered explanation, how could Kasumigaoka Utaha possibly believe it? She took two steps forward and said with a playful look on her face, "Really? But I didn't see anything hung out on the balcony over by the living room. And even if it was washed, why did they wash the pillow core? Could it be that something dirty seeped into it?"

Ying Lili's face turned even redder, and she said loudly, "No way!!!"

"Alala, I didn't say anything specific, Eriri, you don't have to be so shy. Or...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her voice and said slowly, "As expected, Eriri, your growth has exceeded my imagination!"

"..."

The Eriri was completely sunk and could never recover.

In the living room, Asakura Feng, who had made tea, saw the two people coming out, especially Kasumigaoka Utaha who looked happy while Eriri looked shy, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Senior, you are not bullying Eriri again, are you? Are you worried that she will add ingredients to your dishes when she cooks later?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth and chuckled: "You can't say that, we were just discussing some girls' private matters."

Haha, go and fool the devil.

Ying Lili on the side just rolled her eyes.

Chapter 154: Just ignore it! (5/5)

Back in the living room, Eriri was just starting to prepare lunch, and this time she didn't even let Asakura Kaede help with the vegetable cutting, as she planned to do everything herself.

"Eri, are you really okay?"

Seeing Eriri placing the washed vegetables on the chopping board with a kitchen knife in hand, Asakura Feng couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "How about I do it?"

"It's fine!"

Ying Lili smiled confidently and said, "I just can't cut fast, not that I don't know how to use a kitchen knife. Mom has taught me carefully many times. I have always remembered how to use a kitchen knife. I won't forget it!"

"Really?"

"Of course, go sit down and take a rest. I'll make you a delicious meal today!"

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked with a smile, "So it's not a treat for me?"

"Huh, isn't this nonsense?"

Ying Lili replied proudly, then fell silent and began to cut vegetables seriously.

After observing for a while and confirming that there was nothing wrong with Eriri's movements, just that her speed was a little slow, Asakura Kaede finally felt relieved and sat on the sofa with Kasumigaoka Utaha, drinking tea and chatting.

However, the way he turned his head to look at Eriri from time to time made Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help laughing and teasing, "Asakura-kun, you really can't let go of Eriri."

"Isn't this natural?" Asakura Feng said as if it was a matter of course, "Let's not talk about Eriri. When we were in home economics class at school, don't tell me you've never seen other people cut their hands while cutting vegetables."

"Yeah...I have indeed seen it."

Nowadays, there are some boys and girls who can cook, but they are still a minority, especially some spoiled ones who really can't cook at all.
