My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's your birthday today, Senior. Senior Shigong celebrated for you, didn't you? What birthday present did you receive?"

"How did you know?!"

Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but shout out, attracting the attention of Shirogane Kei who was doing homework on the other side.

Kaguya Shinomiya did give him a birthday present individually, and it was made by herself. When he got home just now, he showed it off in front of his sister. How come it seems to have become known to everyone now?

In response, Asakura Feng smiled and said, "Because, before, Senior Shinomiya asked Eriri how to choose a birthday present, so we knew it. Otherwise, we wouldn't know that your birthday is today."

"So this is ah..."

Shirogane Miyuki nodded in realization, and he said, he had never told Asakura Kaede about his birthday, so how did she know about it? It turned out that it was Shinomiya Kaguya who revealed it.

After thinking for a while, Baiyin Yuxing said: "Yes, Sigong gave me a gift, a folding fan with her own inscription, and a cake, but..."

Halfway through his speech, Shirogane Yuxing suddenly remembered the scene in the student union and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Just? Just what?"

Asakura Kaede became curious and originally wanted to make a joke, but it seemed like something unexpected happened?

Glancing at his sister, Shirogane Yuxing walked out of the bedroom with his phone in hand and went to the bathroom, then he said, "Asakura, after I tell you, don't tell anyone. Just give me some advice."

"Don't worry, senior, just tell me what you want."

Asakura Kaede would naturally not leak it casually, but if it was related to Shinomiya Kaguya, then Eriri would probably know it, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not.

Then, Asakura Feng began to listen to Shirogane Miyuki's story.

Originally, Shirogane Miyuki didn't care about his birthday, and handled the affairs of the student council as usual. And the time was also strange, there were only him and Shinomiya Kaguya in the student council, and Ishigami Yu and Fujiwara Chika were nowhere to be found.

Asakura Kaede knew about this, of course, he was sent away by Shinomiya Kaguya.

In an environment where there were only the two of them, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly took out a piece of cake with lit candles on it and placed it in front of Shirogane Miyuki. She even prepared a birthday present for him and gave it to him in this atmosphere where no one else was around.

"With the atmosphere at that time, plus Shinomiya's actions and expressions, I couldn't hold back at all, and I was ready to confess. But who would have thought that just before I opened my mouth, the student union phone rang, interrupting the atmosphere at that time."

"...phone call? Who's calling?"

"It's the principal." Shirogane Yuxing said with a strange expression, "I don't know why the principal thought of my birthday. He called me and said happy birthday. And in order to thank me for my hard work in the student union this year, he prepared a lot of shopping coupons for me, which is a gift that suits my heart. But... after the call, I found that Shinomiya's mood is not right."

Nonsense, such a good atmosphere was interrupted. I wouldn’t be Shinomiya Kaguya if I didn’t get angry.

But how did the principal know about this and even made the special phone call?

Ishigami Yu, who was playing games at home, sneezed without warning.

Without thinking too much, Asakura Feng continued to ask: "Senior, did you continue to confess your feelings later?"

"The atmosphere is gone, how can we continue?" Baiyin Yuxing said in distress, "Sigong also knew that the atmosphere was gone, and he left after telling me. It was not a good idea for me to stay alone, so I packed up and came back."

Principal Wei

Will there be news about the replacement of the principal of Shuchiin in the next two days?

Of course, Asakura Feng also knew that Shinomiya Kaguya would not really do this. After all, the other party called because of Shirogane Miyuki’s birthday.

"So, Senior, what are you going to do next? Senior Shinomiya definitely saw that you wanted to confess your feelings at that time."

Listening to Asakura Feng's question, Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath and said, "I plan to find a time to ask Shinomiya out later, and then confess my feelings to her seriously again!"

Wow, you've finally made some progress. You even know how to ask girls out on a date.

"Okay, then do your best, senior."

"Well, I will. That... Asakura?" Suddenly, Shirogane Miyuki's voice said hesitantly, "Can I ask you some tips on dating? I have never asked a girl out alone."

"..."

Forget it, I'll just show my understanding and teach Baiyin Yuxing.

Chapter 201: Asakura Kaede's Novel Illustrator (3/3)

After teaching Shirogane Miyuki, who had never had any dating experience, a lot of useful dating tips, Asakura Kaede ended the call and walked out of the studio.

In the living room, Ying Lili had just finished her phone call and was watching TV.

Hearing the footsteps, Eriri turned around and looked at Asakura Feng and said, "Feng-kun, are you done with your call?"

"Yeah, I just finished fighting."

Coming over and sitting down, Asakura Feng asked with a smile: "What did Senior Shigong tell you? About celebrating Senior's birthday?"

Eriri nodded: "Yes, and she even told me a very funny story! Oh, what a pity, I could have won."

"Are you talking about the call from the principal of Shuchiin?"

"Feng Jun, you also know?"

"Yes, senior told me." Asakura Feng shook his head and said, "It was just a little bit short. If senior confessed, I would lose."

"Yes, yes, just a little bit."

Leaning on Asakura Kaede's shoulder, Eriri smiled happily, "When I was chatting with the senior just now, she looked really angry. But she couldn't do anything about the principal. After all, the principal called because of Senior Shirogane's birthday. When the senior told me, she was very depressed that she forgot about the principal."

"I can understand that. After all, if this incident hadn't happened, no one would have known that the principal of Xiuzhiyuan would personally call to wish you a happy birthday. But now think about it, the student union of Xiuzhiyuan, especially the student union president, is responsible for many things. Many student affairs are managed and coordinated by the student union. It is reasonable for the principal to call at this time."

"Hehe, that's right, at least this principal is pretty good. It is said that he has already given a letter of recommendation to the senior. No matter which university you want to go to in the future, it will be a very powerful stepping stone. But Feng Jun, do you want to know why the principal called at that time?"

Looking at Eriri who squinted her eyes, Asakura Feng asked curiously: "Hmm? Eriri, do you know?"

"I know~~" Eriri nodded, and said with a bit of gloating, "Senior went to investigate afterwards, and finally found out that it was Ishigami-kun who came out of the teaching building who met the principal and told him about this!"

"on a stone......"

Asakura Kaede didn't know what to say for a moment. It turned out to be that guy Ishigami.

Alas, Ishigami’s act must have been unintentional. I hope Kaguya Shinomiya will not blame him.

As for the fact that Shirogane Miyuki was planning to invite Shinomiya Kaguya on a date and was preparing to confess his love, Asakura Kaede did not tell Eriri, and just kept it as a secret between Asakura Kaede and Shirogane Miyuki.

But it looks like the previous bet is going to be reversed.

..........

It is not clear whether the situation will be reversed or not, because apart from this, Baiyin Yuxing has another matter to deal with, that is, his position as student council president has expired and he is about to step down.

Inviting Kaguya Shinomiya on a date, Shirogane Miyuki plans to wait until he officially steps down and has enough rest to make a perfect confession.

After knowing this, Asakura Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with it and did not make any further comments.

And so, a week passed.

After finishing the new volume of the novel, Asakura Kaede planned to go to the library after school today instead of going to the club to hand in the manuscript.

Since Asakura Kaede wasn't going, Eriri naturally wouldn't go to the club alone. She and Asakura Kaede skipped today's club activities and came to the library after school.

As soon as they came in, they saw Takasu Yasuko working diligently at the front desk.

Now, Takasu Yasuko is already a qualified company receptionist. She handles things meticulously and is also very popular in the library because of her gentle and cheerful personality.

Seeing Kaede Asakura and Eriri coming over, Takasu Yasuko said happily, "Oh, it's Kaede-kun and Eriri. Are you coming to the editorial office today?"

"Yes." Asakura Feng came over and said after registering, "Aunt Yasuko, is everything going well at work?"

"Of course!" Takasu Yasuko smiled happily, "The work is not difficult, everyone is very nice, and it's fun to work here. If you have time, remember to come to my house, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Okay, no problem."

After agreeing with a smile, Asakura Kaede and Eriri came to the editorial department without disturbing Takasu Yasuko's work.

In the editorial office, Editor Nakajima was already waiting and had prepared drinks for the two of them.

"Hahaha, here you are, sit down quickly."

After sitting down with Eriri and taking a sip of drink, Asakura Kaede took out the manuscript: "Here, the manuscript for the new volume."

Editor Nakajima took the manuscript and turned to the first page. He nodded happily, "Not bad, not bad. You are really efficient. By the way, Xiao Feng, if you are not in a hurry, just walk a little slower. Someone will come over and introduce you to them."

Asakura Feng asked curiously: "Someone is coming? Who?"

"Your novel illustrator!"

Editor Nakajima said as he read the manuscript, "You have been working together for such a long time, but you have never met each other. This time, he has also taken on the illustration work for another novel and will be here soon. You two can get to know each other."

Eriri, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Asakura Kaede and said, "The illustrator of Kaede-kun's novel, I remember it was Sagano Fumio, right? How come you've never met him, Kaede-kun?"

"That's right." Asakura Feng nodded. "My requirements for illustrations are very simple. It's enough that the character design is in line with my taste. Editor Nakajima will naturally take care of other things for me. I just need to write the book with peace of mind. But since he will come today, let's get to know him."

Fumio Sagano is an artist in a doujinshi club. In addition to doujinshi, his daily work is to take illustration orders for light novels. His painting style is very good. After reviewing a group of painters, Asakura Kaede finally decided to work with this artist.

As for meeting and getting to know each other, Asakura Kaede's thoughts at that time were the same as now, anyway, just let the editor handle it, and I just need to take care of the content of the text. And at that time, I had to go to school on weekdays, and after school I went home to write, so I didn't have much time to come to the library, so it was normal that we didn't meet.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, drinking a drink and chatting with Machida Sonoko who had some free time after work, the door of the editorial office opened and finally someone walked in.

"Excuse me~~"

Originally, Asakura Feng thought that it was his painter who arrived, but it turned out to be a girl who came in.

A girl with two short ponytails and wearing a dress, who looked like a college student, walked into the editorial office and went straight to Editor Nakajima.

"Editor Nakajima, here I come!"

"Oh, here it comes!"

Then, under the shocked gazes of Asakura Kaede and Eriri, editor Nakajima said, "Xiao Feng, let me introduce you. This is your novel illustrator Sagano Fumio. Hahaha, didn't you expect that the difference between the pen name and the real person is so huge!"

"..."

Asakura Feng widened his eyes, looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and said, "Editor Nakajima, you said this is Mr. Sagano Fumio?!"

Eriri also looked incredulous. She had been to the booth where Fumio Sagano sold doujinshi before, and he was obviously a boy!

Ying Lili couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis, and her eyes became sharp.

Chapter 202 Jealousy is a Girl's Inherent Skill (1/2)

Asakura Kaede's collaborating illustrator, Sagano Fumio, whose real name is Sagara Mayu, is a very beautiful girl.

She had been very excited about meeting Asakura Kaede today, because when she had previously proposed to Editor Nakajima that she wanted to meet with him to discuss the novel and the specific requirements for the illustrations, Editor Nakajima had always said the same thing, that is, Asakura Kaede did not have too many requirements for the painter, as long as the character design was to his liking.

This made Mayu Sagara very depressed. She obviously liked the other party's novels very much, but in the end she had not met the real person of this light novel writer for the whole year.

But fortunately, I finally saw it today.

But she didn't expect that in addition to Asakura Kaede, there was also a very beautiful blonde girl next to him, and she was looking at her with vigilance.

After a little thought, Mayu Sagara understood and said with a smile: "This should be teacher Kashiwagi Eri, right? Hello, I am Mayu Sagara, pen name Sagano Fumio."

Although Eriri was very alert, she couldn't keep a straight face since the other party had already greeted her. She nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Sawamura Spencer Eriri."

Mayu Sagara looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "I saw an interview on Jump before, and it said that the two of you were lovers. I didn't expect it to be true. You seem to have a very good relationship!"

Asakura Feng naturally saw Eriri's look just now. After a bitter smile in her heart, she said to Sagara Mayu, "It's our first meeting. Please take a seat. We can talk slowly about anything."

"Okay!"

After Mayu Sagara sat down, she looked at the manuscript in Editor Nakajima's hand and said, "Mr. Asakura, have you finished the new volume?"

"Yeah, I'll hand it over when I'm done."

"so fast!"

Mayu Sagara exclaimed, "I have worked with several light novel writers, but none of them is as efficient as you, and the quality is good. Hehe, thanks to this job, I can always get the first edition of Soharu in advance. I love your work so much!"

Asakura Feng didn't expect that this artist was also her fan, and said with a smile: "That's great, it makes me feel more at ease when someone who likes my work draws illustrations."

Although I really wanted to talk to Asakura Kaede about Soharu's novel, Mayu Sagara came over today and I had another new job to discuss with Editor Nakajima, so I talked about this matter with Editor Nakajima first.

Editor Nakajima is one of the most experienced editors in the library. In addition to Asakura Kaede, he has several well-known authors on hand. One of them recently wrote a new book for publication, so he invited Mayu Sagara to collaborate with him to draw the characters and illustrations for the novel.

Here, Mayu Sagara was chatting about work with editor Nakajima. Asakura Kaede turned to look at Eriri, and saw the girl looking at her angrily.

Asakura Kaede laughed and raised her hand to poke Eriri's face, causing her originally puffy cheeks to deflate.

Seeing the smile on Asakura Kaede's face, Eriri puffed up her cheeks again in dissatisfaction, trying to express her dissatisfaction in this way. The result was that the two of them took turns to hit each other, spreading pink dog food around.

Finally, it was Machida Yuanzi who couldn't stand it anymore. She moved her chair over, patted Asakura Feng on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Feng, don't forget that there are many single people in the editorial department. You will arouse public anger if you do this."
