Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

What she admired more was Kitahara Makoto's achievements in writing.

She is also known as "Teacher Kashiwagi" by people in the industry.

But compared to "Teacher Kitahara," she, "Teacher Kashiwagi," was clearly several levels below.

Therefore, Eriri's biggest envy is Kitahara Makoto winning the 'Akutagawa Prize'.

They keep saying how delicious it is.

But in the end, Eriri only ate one piece and didn't ask for more.

It wasn't that she was saving money for Kitahara Makoto.

It's simply a matter of girls being more self-aware when it comes to weight issues.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Eriri picked up her paintbrush and looked at Kitahara Makoto.

Kitahara Shinya was staring straight at her.

"Please speak?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Seeing that Kitahara Shin remained silent, Eriri looked puzzled.

"Using myself as the model, draw an otaku character who wears glasses and has short, choppy hair..."

"..."

Ying Lili was speechless.

But considering the payment (cake) he made in advance.

I started drawing on the paper.

Very quickly, in less than half an hour.

Eriri then placed the finished product in front of Kitahara Makoto.

And she truly deserves to be a well-known artist in the industry.

A portrait of an otaku, bearing a striking resemblance to Kitahara Makoto, with glasses, short, choppy hair, and a somewhat aloof and wooden expression, leaps off the page.

Kitahara Shin had Eriri make some more modifications to the details.

Then he nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, the second one."

Seeing that Kitahara was satisfied, Eriri took out a new sheet of drawing paper.

"This time, I'll draw a female character."

"A high school girl from a wealthy family, with a proud and arrogant personality. Although she seems normal on the surface, she actually has a secret she dares not reveal to anyone. Oh, and she has golden twin tails!"

"idiot!"

Eriri stood up angrily.

"Just tell me your name!"

She thought it was okay at first, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off.

Wait until the golden twin tails appear.

If she still doesn't realize something is wrong at this point...

Then there's no need to continue living.

"Cough cough..."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Kitahara Makoto's face.

"Actually, it's about drawing an anime female character based on you."

"Wait, I forgot to ask earlier, what do you want me to do with these character designs?"

"You're not planning something bad, are you?"

Eriri looked at Kitahara Makoto with a wary expression.

"No, I just want to make an anime!"

"Anime? You?"

Eriri looked suspicious, but suppressed her doubts and continued to ask.

"What is the relationship between this character and the main character from earlier?"

"She has a crush on the protagonist, but because of her pride, she has never dared to confess!"

"..."

Eriri's fair face suddenly turned bright red.

His eyes were filled with panic as he looked at Kitahara Makoto.

His speech became incoherent.

It felt like someone had exposed my secret.

"you you you……"

"what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

Kitahara Shin asked with a puzzled look.

"This is just a normal storyline; it's a pseudo-harem manga."

"Is this like this?"

Kitahara Makoto looked perfectly normal; he didn't seem to be faking it.

It seems like we were just talking about the comic's plot and story, without any hidden meaning.

Eriri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a touch of bitterness quietly crept into my heart.

But she was so disappointed that she didn't notice anything amiss.

A strange glint flashed in Kitahara Makoto's eyes.

Chapter 40: Offline Book Signing Event for "Norwegian Wood"

"are you free tomorrow?"

Just as Eriri was about to turn around and go inside at the door, Kitahara Makoto suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I heard there's a really good movie that just came out, wanna go see it together?"

"Alright, let me see if it lives up to its name."

A hint of joy flashed in the girl's eyes.

But his words still revealed no flaws.

Fortunately, Kitahara Makoto was already used to her personality.

He waved dismissively, turned and left...

.......

arrive home.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, wearing a loose-fitting camisole nightgown, lay on the sofa, holding a bowl of grapes and watching TV with great interest.

Mai Sakurajima has recently taken on another role.

So for now, it's just the two of them at home.

"Why grapes again?"

Kitahara asked, somewhat surprised.

"Didn't you just eat this morning?"

A slightly embarrassed smile flashed across Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.

"When I went out to buy groceries today, I saw that the supermarket was having a sale, and I accidentally bought too much."

"You..."

Kitahara Makoto found it amusing and sat down next to her.

The young woman wriggled and lay down on his lap like a caterpillar.

Kitahara Shin picked a grape from the bowl, popped it into his mouth, and smacked it a few times.

"Hmm, purple grapes don't taste good."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked puzzled.

Aren't all grapes purple?

"You mean green grapes, right?!"

"No."

Kitahara Shin said with a mocking expression.

"There's another one!"

"..."

Kitahara Makoto stared intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is no longer an innocent girl who knows nothing.

A blush rose on her fair face as she spoke, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Do you want to come and eat?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

The young lady has been so insistent on inviting me.

Kitahara Shin couldn't refuse any longer, so he reluctantly extended his hand...

……

……

The light from the curtain reflected on people's faces.

The film's captivating story failed to capture the girl's attention at all.

The girl would turn her head to look at the man beside her every now and then.

Then, as quickly as a dragonfly skimming the water, it turned its head away.

Pretending to be nonchalant.

This was to conceal the joy in his eyes.

Little did she know, Kitahara Shinko was watching her every move out of the corner of his eye.

Kitahara smiled knowingly.

They didn't expose Eriri's little secret either.

After watching the movie.

The two went to a restaurant on the same floor for a meal.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to make an anime?"
