My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Having made up her mind, Eriri directly asked, "Senior, is this something related to Senior Shirogane?"

"!!!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's thoughts were exposed. She looked around with wide eyes and said, "No, that, that's a friend of mine, that..."

"..."

Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya's panicked look, Eriri couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know how Kaguya Shinomiya could hold on for so long in front of Miyuki Shirogane in this state.

Now look at Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane. If they continue like this without making any changes, I really don’t know when they will succeed.

Frowning, Eriri said, "Senior, well, I have a friend. This kind of opening is no longer effective these days. Once you say it, it's assumed that the friend is you. And there's no one else here, so don't worry, I won't say anything careless."

After listening to Eriri's words, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression became extremely embarrassed.

"Is it really... that easy to see through?"

Nodding, Eriri said, "Senior, you said before that you are not very good at using electronic products, and you don't use the Internet much, right? But no matter what, it is still necessary to keep up with the pace of the times, so that there are many more topics to talk about. For example, many things would be embarrassing to say in person, but if you say it over the phone, you won't be so shy."

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly realized that there are so many benefits to knowing more about the Internet.

And as expected of Sawamura-san, who has already progressed to the stage of living together, he speaks very logically!

Coming to see her today instead of looking for Kashiwagi Nagisa at school, it seems like I made the right choice!

Adjusting her mindset, Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Eriri across from her, blushing as she said, "Um, Sawamura-san, it's... it's that I have something I want to consult you about."

Shinomiya Kaguya's love consultation officially begins.

Chapter 188: Kaguya Shinomiya's Thoughts (1/3)

After hesitating for a while, Kaguya Shinomiya finally revealed her true feelings.

"Well... as for the president, he is indeed an excellent man. He studies hard, handles student council affairs in an orderly manner, and is principled and helpful. Also, his fierce eyes are very cute!"

"Uh-huh?"

This sudden turn really caught Eriri off guard.

"Senior sister, do you like Senior Baiyin's fierce look?"

"Yup!"

As if she had decided not to hide anything in front of Eriri, Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to have opened a limiter, and said with shining eyes: "Although the president's eyes are caused by staying up late for a long time, and do not represent the president's personality, but the combination of the two is not very contrasting, isn't it?"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Eriri felt like she was meeting Shinomiya Kaguya for the first time.

Although Eriri thought she had played a lot of galgames, both for females and men, and had seen many types of male characters in games, she could not understand the fetish of this senior!

And it wasn't the naturally fierce look in Takasu Ryuji's eyes, but it was caused by staying up late!

Thinking deeply, Eriri looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and asked, "Senior, if one day, you retire as the student council president, no longer have to stay up late, and your dark circles disappear, will you still like you?"

"Ugh?"

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to have never thought about this question before. After Eriri raised it, she fell into a long period of thinking.

I imagined in my mind how Shirogane Miyuki would look like without the dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes would soften...

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly felt uneasy because she found that she was not so moved anymore?

Unable to help but raise her hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression became uncertain.

Could it be that my liking for the president is not out of true love at all?

No, I can't deny myself so quickly.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly shook her head, looked at Eriri across from her and said, "Well... eyes are only one aspect, the president has many good qualities!"

"I know that." Eriri nodded, still a little skeptical, "But just now when you mentioned the look in Shirogane-san's eyes, his emotions clearly rose to a higher level, and he looked a little worried."

"this..."

Shinomiya Kaguya was actually worried as well, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She was afraid that if she said it out loud, the juniors in front of her would think she was weird.

But unfortunately, after Asakura Kaede's reminder, Eriri had been paying attention to the changes in Shinomiya Kaguya's expression and understood Shinomiya Kaguya's fleeting worry.

Ah, Fengjun, I feel like I'm a little overwhelmed...

Eriri really wanted to ask Asakura Kaede for help, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Turning the coffee cup in her hand, Eriri said, "Senior, let's not talk about the things that don't need to be considered yet. Let's talk about the more important things at hand."

"In front of you?"

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't quite understand.

In line with Asakura Kaede's principle of not arguing, Eriri said directly: "In short, the problem is that you like Shirogane-senpai, but you don't know how to take the next step, right?"

"how do you know?!"

"...Isn't it obvious?" Eriri sighed and said, "Well, at least I'm in love, and I have friends around me who have boys they like. Girls always show similar expressions when talking about boys they like. And if you have a feasible idea, there's no need to come to me to discuss it, right?"

Occasionally when chatting with Usami, when talking about Subaru Uchimaki, Usami couldn't help blushing and her eyes drifted away, which was exactly the same as Shinomiya Kaguya's current expression.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that most of the people in the student union are single, otherwise Kaguya Shinomiya really wouldn’t be able to hide.

Of course, Ishigami Yu already knew it now, but in order to ensure that he could see the sun the next day, he acted as if he knew nothing.

Looking at the bewildered Kaguya Shinomiya, Eriri said softly, "Actually, I used to be similar to you, senior sister. When facing Feng Jun, I always pretended to be nothing happened and looked normal. However, it is not okay to keep on like this, unless you really have no intention of falling in love. But if that's the case, you might as well get rid of the feelings of love in your heart as soon as possible."

"Throw away..."

Shinomiya Kaguya repeated softly, and finally whispered: "Throwing him away, how could that be possible? The president is special to me. It was the president who made me have a radical change in my past views on people, and attracted me little by little. Falling in love, I really didn't think about it at first, but when I realized it, it seemed too late to get out."

"So you like it very much?"

"Woo..."

Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head, her face flushed, and said nothing, but this clearly meant she agreed.

Eriri was not in a hurry. She just ate snacks and waited for Shinomiya Kaguya to recover on her own.

After all, Kaguya Shinomiya had gone through various big family courses and her mood quickly recovered.

She let out a breath, thinking that since it has come to this, she might as well get to the bottom of it. Shinomiya Kaguya said, "Sawamura-san, I want to ask you how you and Asakura-san became a couple. Time is running out, and I feel like I am going to despise myself if I keep hesitating."

After experiencing the fireworks display incident, Shinomiya Kaguya reflected on herself at home for a long time during the days before school started, which led to the decision to invite Eriri today.

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya's serious expression, Eriri finally got excited: "So, senior, do you want to confess your feelings?"

Shinomiya Kaguya waved her hands repeatedly: "Ah... No, that, I just want to learn about other people's experience first, and then adjust my strategy based on my own situation."

"Oh~~~ So that's how it is."

Eriri looked bored, having learned a lot from Asakura Kaede.

But since that's what she said, Eriri can only talk about her own situation.

"For me, it's just an ordinary love." Ying Lili said with a smile, "Between Feng Jun and me, it was Feng Jun who confessed his love. We went out together on the weekend, and then he confessed his love to me during dinner. There was no big scene, and no one was watching. In fact, confession is something that happens naturally as long as the feelings are there!"

“Let it be…”

Shinomiya Kaguya was silent. Is it really possible for him and the president to let things take their own course in the current situation? And Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't said that after school started today, he didn't know how to face the president. His heartbeat was faster than before.

"Do you really want me to confess my feelings?"

Shinomiya Kaguya said softly, unable to help but bring up such a thought.

Chapter 189 Eriri’s Idea (2/3)

Shinomiya Kaguya wants to confess directly?

Eriri suddenly felt something was wrong, because if Kaguya Shinomiya confessed first, wouldn't that mean she and Asakura Kaede had definitely lost the bet?

But it was not easy for her to intervene. This was something Eriri had agreed on with Asakura Kaede, and she thought so too.

If she lost, Feng Jun wouldn't make some weird requests, right? For example, buy her some weird cosplay clothes to wear or something.

Then, Kaguya Shinomiya on the opposite side realized that she hadn’t done anything yet, so why did Eriri start blushing?

"Sawamura-san?"

"what!"

After coming back to her senses, Eriri looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, nothing. Senior, you just said that you wanted to confess, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded and whispered shyly, "Wouldn't it seem unreserved for a girl to confess her feelings?"

"No."

Eriri said calmly, "It doesn't matter which party confesses. The key is not who confesses, but whether the other party can feel the feelings. If two people already like each other, then it doesn't matter who confesses. After all, you will be a couple, so why care so much. Confession is just a process. What's important is the result after that and the time the two people spend together afterwards."

"So... confession isn't actually important?"

"of course not!"

Eriri waved her hands and said, "It's not that confession is unimportant. What I mean is that confession is just a necessary step on the road to love. But compared to the love between two people later, just take it seriously and don't take it too seriously. You know, there are people who fail in confession every moment in the world. And senior sister, do you think Senior Shirogane... likes you?"

"Eh?" Shinomiya Kaguya blushed and said, "This...that...how do I know this..."

It really looks like the way I was before I fell in love.

Ying Lili nodded silently, leaned forward a little, and said, "Senior sister, I think Senior Shirogane must have a crush on you. I think you two have been together day and night in the student union for a year, so you must have noticed it, right?"

"Um......"

Shinomiya Kaguya admitted it. If they didn't have feelings for each other, they wouldn't have been engaged in the various "battles" that had lasted for nearly half a year, stimulating the other to confess their love to them.

But at the same time, Shinomiya Kaguya also said unhappily: "As a girl, I would definitely be shy if I were asked to confess my feelings. But the president had so many opportunities but he just didn't say anything. It really infuriated me!"

"Hmm~~~Senior Baiyin is indeed a little hesitant in this regard."

Eriri very much agreed with Shinomiya Kaguya's evaluation. If it happened to her, and she and Asakura Kaede had feelings for each other but the other party was reluctant to confess, she would definitely be angry.

Especially, when you know that the other person has a good impression of you, you still don't say anything.

Crossing her arms, Eriri said, "It's normal for boys to have a little self-esteem and want to save face, but we need to take into account the shy nature of girls!"

"That's right!"

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded repeatedly, looked at Eriri with some envy and said, "Alas, I really don't know if I can wait until the president confesses to me. In the past few days, I have used all kinds of means."

For example, she used movie tickets to get the two of them to go to the movies together, or used love quizzes from magazines, and she even asked her maid to write a love letter to her to stimulate Shirogane Miyuki, but in the end she still failed.

After listening to Kaguya Shinomiya's "battle history", Eriri felt terrible.

"Senior...Senior, isn't it just a relationship? Is it necessary to be like this?"

Eriri widened her eyes, looked at the embarrassed Kaguya Shinomiya and said, "I have to say, you and Senior Shirogane are really a perfect match. Not only are you both amazing in every aspect, but you also have similar ideas about love. You both want the other to confess first. Really, if it were a comic or a novel, this story could be concluded in one episode, but you two had to make it into a long story. It reminds me of a comic called I Really Want to Tell You, which was jokingly called I Really Want to Make You Crazy, which perfectly fits you and Senior Shirogane."

Eriri's blunt criticism really made Shinomiya Kaguya feel ashamed.

She herself has no experience in love, and most of her understanding of love comes from a few famous books and some movies.

But now, after learning about the love affair between Kashiwagi Nagisa and Tanuma Tsubasa in the school, as well as the couple Eriri and Asakura Kaede, Shinomiya Kaguya gradually realized how outrageous the relationship between her and Shirogane Miyuki was.

"Wow... I know this situation is weird, but I just can't make any progress!"

Holding her head in her hands, Shinomiya Kaguya said extremely depressed.

Her words were all heard by Hayasaka Ai, who had arrived at the cafe earlier, disguised as a customer, and sat with her back to Shinomiya Kaguya.

While eating the cake, Hayasaka Ai sighed silently. She thought that her eldest daughter had been staying at home for too long and needed to continue learning a lot of knowledge.

Looking at the finished piece of cake in her hand, Hayasaka Ai waved her hand and called the waiter who had been replaced by one of the Shinomiya family's own people, and asked him to bring her two more pieces of cake.

By the way, before Eriri arrived, all the staff in the store, including the individual customers present, were replaced by people from the Shinomiya family, but Eriri didn't notice it at all.

Eriri is now thinking about how to help Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Hmm~~~ confession."

Eriri pondered and said, "No matter who among you wants to confess, a suitable occasion and time are necessary. If the atmosphere is right, I think it will be fine for anyone to confess, but we still have to be prepared before that. Senior, besides school, have you and the president ever been to other places alone?"

"..."

"Well, no."
