Chapter 185 I've been a fan of Kashiwagi Eri for a long time

Although Qin Chuan had noticed someone was there long ago, he was still somewhat surprised when he turned the corner and saw Eriri trembling.

Eriri is already a celebrity to some extent—whether it's the works she read before she transmigrated, her fame at school, or her reputation in the world of doujinshi.

Qin Chuan originally thought it was just an ordinary student watching from the sidelines, but he didn't expect to catch such a big fish.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan subconsciously looked down at the arrow hanging on his chest—well, there was no reaction.

It seems that Eriri doesn't have Stand aptitude either. Currently, in the entire school, only Ichiri Goto has Stand aptitude.

"Um... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just came to the rooftop because I had some things to do, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come in."

Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't speak, Eriri thought that Qin Chuan was angry, so she had no choice but to try to explain.

"So I had no choice but to hide to the side and wait until you left before I left... Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you were cheating on me!"

What do you mean by "having three partners at the same time"?

Qin Chuan was also a little dumbfounded. Although he did have a bit of an ambiguous relationship with Kato Megumi and a rather delicate relationship with Goto Ichiri, he hadn't officially made a move yet, right?

Having an idea ≠ it has already been realized.

Moreover, after hearing Eriri's explanation, Qin Chuan roughly understood why she had entered the rooftop—in the end, it was because he had been lazy and hadn't locked the rooftop door yesterday.

After all, most students had long assumed that the rooftop was locked and wouldn't deliberately go there, so Qin Chuan found it quite troublesome to lock it every time.

As it turned out, Eriri discovered that the rooftop seemed to be unlocked for some reason, so she went up to the rooftop alone at noon and bumped into Qin Chuan and the others.

As for why Eriri would come to the rooftop alone... Qin Chuan's gaze fell on the schoolbag Eriri was holding, and he made a guess:

"Your sketchbook has been revealed."

"What?! How is that possible? I clearly put it in my bag properly just now..."

Hearing Qin Chuan's sudden outburst, Eriri panicked. She quickly looked down at the schoolbag she was holding and realized that she had been tricked.

My backpack opens upwards, so how could the drawings inside possibly be showing?

But soon, Eriri realized that she seemed to have revealed something—her actions just now clearly told Qin Chuan that there really were sketchbooks in her bag.

Eriri's expression instantly became as chaotic as Goto Ichiri's. She looked up at Qin Chuan, who had a half-smile on his face, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Do you...do you know who I am?"

"I guess I know... I went to a comic convention once before."

Qin Chuan stroked his chin and said, "He wasn't lying when he said he'd been to a comic convention."

After all, he was a homebody before he transmigrated, and he had watched a lot of anime, manga and light novels. So after coming to this world, he naturally became interested in these things as well.

This world lacks many classic works from before Qin Chuan's time travel, but in their place, there are also many new classic works that have provided him with ample entertainment.

So in the first few months after his transmigration, Qin Chuan frequently went to various comic conventions to buy all sorts of works and merchandise, including doujinshi.

Qin Chuan did indeed buy a book by an author using the pen name "Kashiwagi Eri" at the time, and he knew it must have been drawn by Eriri, but he had no interest in exposing this before.

But now that Eriri was right in front of him, Qin Chuan couldn't resist teasing her as he looked at her trembling golden twin tails.

Of course, although he had been to anime conventions and bought Eri Kashiwagi's doujinshi, Qin Chuan had never actually met Eriri in person at anime conventions, so it was half true and half false.

"How could this be... Although I do often go to anime conventions to check how my doujinshi are selling, I never expected to be noticed by a classmate from the same school..."

Eriri was immediately troubled. She didn't doubt Qin Chuan's words, since there seemed to be no other possibility that someone would discover her pen name.

Then, Eriri looked at Qin Chuan somewhat nervously:

"You absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this. I'm willing to do anything... I can give you money!"

As a doujinshi artist, when faced with this situation, Eriri's first thought is something indescribable...

A beautiful girl has a secret that a boy from her school can't tell anyone... No matter how you look at it, it's a great subject for a doujinshi!

However, Eriri's rationality quickly prevailed over her instincts as a doujinshi artist—how could she casually utter such strange plots? She wasn't a pervert!

Considering her family's financial situation, Eriri's first thought was naturally money.

"Hmm... I don't lack money."

If it were Qin Chuan before the system was activated, he might have agreed to this condition. After all, he spent a lot of money on ACG works after transmigrating, leaving him with only enough money to live comfortably through high school.

But now, Qin Chuan has only been using the system for a few days and has already acquired more money and connections than most people could earn in a lifetime, so he doesn't care about Eriri's little bit of money anymore.

However, Qin Chuan quickly realized what he needed Eriri to do:

"Since you've said that, then you have to show me the original manuscripts you finish drawing from now on."

"what?"

Eriri was stunned; she hadn't expected Qin Chuan to make such a request.

She had actually considered whether Qin Chuan might make certain requests regarding the type of doujinshi he would create, such as saying something like, "Eri, you don't want others to know you're a doujinshi artist, do you?" while simultaneously touching her inappropriately...

Eriri was already prepared to call the police, but unexpectedly, Qin Chuan only asked her to show him the original manuscript.

"What? Is that not allowed? I am, after all, a fan of Kashiwagi Eri-sensei."

Qin Chuan saw that Eriri seemed quite surprised, and said the same thing.

Eriri was able to make a name for herself in the doujinshi world because her doujinshi were indeed quite good, a fact that Qin Chuan was also aware of.

Although Qin Chuan no longer needs doujinshi to vent his excessive desires, it's still nice to look at them occasionally for a change of pace.

Of course, Qin Chuan really just wanted to see Eriri blush.

I imagine myself looking at Eriri's drawings in the notebook while pointing and commenting on them... Eriri's expression will definitely be quite something.

No wonder a certain upperclassman in the original work always liked to tease Eriri; just thinking about it makes Qin Chuan think it would be very interesting.

Chapter 186 Irisviel as a Child

Eriri eventually agreed to Qin Chuan's request, and would invite Qin Chuan to review her work as soon as she finished drawing it.

Although it's not exactly a good thing for a girl to hand over her erotic drawings to a boy for his opinion, Qin Chuan had something on Eriri that he couldn't help.

After all, Eriri didn't even want the fact that she was a homebody to be revealed, let alone the huge secret of being a doujinshi artist, which would lead to complete social death if exposed.

However, Eriri didn't immediately show the drawings in her schoolbag to Qin Chuan.

Her reason was, "There's still one page left on this drawing. I'll show it to you once it's finished, so don't worry."

After that, Eriri blushed and ran away from the rooftop—of course, before running away, she obediently handed over her contact information.

She couldn't refuse to hand it in; she didn't want to hear about Ms. Kashiwagi Eri from her classmates as soon as she arrived at school the next morning.

Anyway, compared to her lowest expectations, Qin Chuan's request was already quite good; let's just consider it as a preview of the work for the fans. 16

……

After school, Eriri returned home and began working on her manuscript with a disgruntled expression.

Because she couldn't finish the last page at noon, she'll have to spend more time completing the final outline.

Thinking about it this way, didn't she just not make any progress at work at noon, but instead exposed her secret to Qin Chuan? What a huge loss!

"Eri, why are you so angry today?"

While Eriri was working on her manuscript, her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, walked into the room with a subtle smile on her face.

Eriri being a doujinshi artist is a secret that must be kept from outsiders, but it's not a problem for her family.

In fact, Eriri's otaku nature was inherited from her parents. Her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, was also an otaku, and even went a step further, being a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance).

Although she takes good care of herself and looks like Eriri's sister, and has a gentle temperament, her inner and outer appearances are completely different.

Of course, as a mother, Sayuri Sawamura still cares about Eriri, so when she saw Eriri storm into her room as soon as she got home, she was also curious about what had happened to Eriri at school.

Sawamura Sayuri hadn't seen Eriri look so angry in a long time. She remembered that Eriri was always quite popular at school, so she thought no one would deliberately upset her.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood."

Upon hearing Sayuri Sawamura's question, Eriri simply turned around with a stiff expression and gave an awkward smile—of course, she couldn't tell her mother about Qin Chuan.

A male high school student found out about his daughter's sketchbooks and demanded that he review all her future sketchbooks as soon as possible...

Eriri couldn't guess how Sayuri Sawamura would react if this got out, since there was no precedent—but she could imagine it wouldn't be a good thing.

However, Eriri is not good at hiding her feelings, so when Sayuri Sawamura heard this, although she did not continue to ask, she could tell from Eriri's expression that something had happened.

"Since Eriri doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. But if you really encounter something you can't solve on your own, remember to ask your parents for help."

Sayuri Sawamura smiled and said to Eriri, "After all, no matter what, Eriri's family is well-off, and most problems are not a problem for them."

However, Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri probably couldn't guess how outrageous Qin Chuan's background was.

……

That night, Qin Chuan returned home and, while having dinner, learned what Ogiwara Sayu and Irisviel had done that day.

Because Irisviel's body was still too soft and weak to walk very far without support, Sayu Ogiwara spent the day at home with Irisviel.

The storyline of Fate/Zero is set in the 90s, and the level of technology there is quite different from the world Qin Chuan is currently in.

Furthermore, Irisviel spent a long time in the Einzbern family, a traditional family of magicians, which further reduced her exposure to high-tech gadgets.

So all day today, Sayu Ogiwara taught Irisviel how to operate televisions, mobile phones, and other similar devices, as well as some common sense about modern life.

Perhaps because Qin Chuan had previously mentioned that Irisviel was from a powerful family, Ogiwara Sayu found Irisviel's lack of common sense to be normal.

It's normal for a sheltered young lady not to recognize these things—after all, isn't that how many young ladies in comics are portrayed?

Irisviel, on the other hand, wore an apologetic smile, as if she felt she had troubled Ogiwara Sayu quite a bit today.

"Anyway, Shayou doesn't have anything to do at home most of the time, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Qin Chuan noticed Irisviel's expression and knew what she was thinking. He took a bite of his hamburger patty and said something.

"Just treat it as teaching a child."

According to Irisviel's common sense, Sayu Ogiwara really seems like she's teaching a child who hasn't learned much—even though the child looks a bit older than her age.

However, upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Ogiwara Sayu seemed to have thought of something strange, and her face turned bright red.

Hearing "teaching children 933" probably reminded him of the things he and Qin Chuan had done that could have resulted in death.

"I will treat Irisviel tonight, and you should be able to see her moving around normally tomorrow."

Qin Chuan glanced at Irisviel—although she had learned how to use a cell phone from Sayu Ogiwara today, she didn't seem to have been corrupted by the internet yet.

Judging from her bewildered expression, she probably hadn't realized what kind of "treatment" Qin Chuan would be giving her tonight.

“Once she can move around normally tomorrow, you can take her out to get acquainted with the surrounding environment—she may not have a real concept of modern cities.”

"I understand, leave it to me!"

Sayu Ogiwara said confidently that since it was a task assigned by Qin Chuan, she would naturally follow it perfectly.

Although she was also very curious about how Qin Chuan had performed the "treatment" on Irisviel, she wouldn't ask since Qin Chuan hadn't explained.

At worst, I'll just ask Irisviel tomorrow.

Just as Qin Chuan finished dinner and was waiting for Irisviel to finish eating, his phone suddenly rang.

Upon picking it up and taking a look, Qin Chuan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Because the contact displayed on the phone screen was none other than Eriri, whom I had just added at noon today.

Chapter 187 Eriri's Observation and Learning

Eriri sent a bunch of pictures over LINE all at once.

When Qin Chuan opened the photos, he found that they were all pictures of Eriri's own drawings, which should be the ones she had tried to finish on the rooftop at noon.

Although it's just a draft, the level of completion is actually quite high, at least much more refined than the finished product of an author named JJXX.

After sending over photos of these drawings, Eriri added a question at the end:

"Is taking photos enough? Or do you want me to bring the original manuscript for you to see as well?"

"Of course, we need to see the original manuscript."

Qin Chuan replied almost without hesitation—what's the point of just looking at it through a photo? He wanted to point out her drawings in front of Eriri.
