Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Combing hair."

Pointing to her disheveled hair, Greta looked at him and said.

"OK, no problem."

I spent the whole day here just to be with Gretchen, so I had no problem with whatever she said she wanted to do.

Using a blind spot where Nangong Yu could see under the bed, she pulled him to the dressing table, and soon, Gretchen obediently sat down on it.

"and many more."

Nangong Yu picked up the comb and was about to place it on Gretchen's hair when she suddenly whispered something, then pulled a tablet from the table and quickly started a video call.

A few seconds later, the call connected, and a little girl with long silver-white hair and snow-white skin appeared on the screen.

"Grey..."

"Eromanga Sensei #2, call me Ebisu!"

"My face suddenly turned serious," Gretsch said, looking at Izumi Sagiri on the screen.

"I... I don't know anyone with that name... Okay, Huixing."

Upon hearing her pen name, Greta blushed and nodded in satisfaction.

Is this some kind of special case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

Standing behind Gretchen, Nangong Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Hey, boss!"

Upon seeing Nangong Yu behind Gretchen, Sagiri greeted her happily.

This was the person who saved her and her daughter from dire straits; Sagiri was not an ungrateful person.

Good morning, Sagiri~

Smiling and waving at her, Nangong Yu began to focus on arranging Gretchen's long hair.

The girl's hair was thick and abundant, and it felt quite smooth to the touch, which was enough to make many programmers envious. Nangong Yu's movements were very gentle, and he seriously put into practice the skills he had honed on Xier Yaya for more than ten years.

Soon, Gretchen lost interest in chatting with Sagiri and began to enjoy the conversation with a simple, honest smile.

For some reason, Sagiri's face grew redder and redder as she watched this scene, and eventually she couldn't help but start writing and drawing on the tablet.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see what Sagiri was drawing.

A moment later, a delicate double ponytail was freshly made. Looking at the little Gretchen whose cuteness had increased even more, Nangong Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, Gretchen, it's time to get up."

"Huh? Oh..."

With a deep sense of reluctance in her eyes, Gretchen obediently stood up.

Gretchen never expected that having her hair combed by the Knight would feel so good; she now has a new goal in her life.

Fortunately, she didn't forget the important matter of the day. She pulled Nangong Yu to stand in the cleared space and even pulled up a small square stool for Nangong Yu to sit on.

Adhering to the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place, Gretchen placed the stool directly next to the bed, which conveniently blocked the pile of 'documents'.

Then he watched as Gretchen turned on the camera, laid out the drawing paper, and placed the paints in a place that was easy for her to reach, while Sagiri also looked ready.

"Am I required to sit here and not move?"

"Hmm...it's okay to move a little."

After saying that, Gretchen's expression turned serious. She picked up her paintbrush and carefully traced the lines of Nangong Yu's painting.

After gesturing like that for a while, Nangong Yu, feeling a bit bored, asked curiously, "Why did Gretsch suddenly want me to be her model?"

Silently calculating the distances on the drawing paper, Gretchen subconsciously replied, "Because I'm not very familiar with male anatomy, I can't draw it well."

Human anatomy is indeed important. Although he hasn't painted for a while, he was once a veteran artist who kept many young people up at night.

"Can't you just search for that online?"

There should be plenty of these kinds of pictures online. He learned about the human body from the internet back then, but there's no need to go into how he learned it.

Perhaps her mind was too busy, because Gretchen blurted out without thinking, "I don't want to see other men... no, nothing!!!"

She realized what she was saying halfway through, and quickly hid behind the easel, blushing and remaining silent.

To be honest, this sudden answer stunned Nangong Yu as well. He scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly. It wasn't that he was unhappy about being treated specially by Gretchen, it's just that...

Looking at Gretchen's tiny figure, Nangong Yu truly had no other thoughts, nor dared to have any.

Sagiri's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Gretchen in disbelief.

So, my best friend actually had these kinds of feelings for the boss?!

Perhaps it was the ripples caused by those words that prevented Nangong Yu from speaking again, and Gretchen didn't say anything more either. She quickly suppressed her shyness and immersed herself in the world of painting.

It's safe to say that Gretchen truly deserves to be praised by Cocolia as a talented young painter; there's definitely a reason why she became famous at such a young age.

When painting, those purple eyes seemed to be able to see nothing else; their vision consisted only of the canvas and what they were painting. This concentration was truly astonishing.

Nangong Yu sighed inwardly, trying her best to remain still so as not to disturb Gretchen's painting.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Yu noticed that Gretchen's expression was a little irritated, and her brows were furrowed as she looked at him.

What's going on here?

Just as doubt arose, Nangong Yu noticed Gretchen walking towards him.

"No, I can't see clearly like this."

"What do you mean you can't see...?"

Before Nangong Yu could finish his sentence, he was stunned to see Gretchen reach out her small hand and unbutton the first button on his collar.

The sweet fragrance of a girl wafted past his nose, leaving him completely stunned.

"Wait, Gretchen, you..."

"Let me see the body's muscle structure."

His voice was calm and indifferent, without any unnecessary tone. This calm demeanor made Nangong Yu wonder if her thoughts were too filthy.

Drawing the human body naturally requires a deep understanding of human anatomy and muscle tissue. There are also many differences between men and women, so it's understandable that Gretchen wanted to take a look.

So, is all of this for academic purposes?

Thinking this, Nangong Yu simply let go of his body and allowed Gretchen's small hands to do whatever they wanted to him.

Soon, the second button, the third button, until the last button was undone.

No wonder Greta reminded him to change his shirt; it turns out she had already planned this all along.

He felt his shirt being lifted open from both sides, and a pair of warm little hands touching his body.

From the neck, to the collarbone, to the chest, and then to the abdominal muscles.

Gretchen's movements were very gentle, but Nangong Yu still hoped she could use more force, otherwise such gentle movements were very similar to the feeling of Bronya teasing him at night, which made him quite tormented.

While touching her, Greta muttered to herself, seemingly genuinely studying... wait, why are you blushing?!

At first, he was indeed studying it carefully, but Nangong Yu noticed that Gretchen's face suddenly became redder and redder, and it got closer and closer to his body. In the end, it was almost touching his abs, and she was even panting heavily.

This, isn't this right?

"Gratio?"

She called out but received no response; Gretchen continued to touch him.

"Gresh!!"

He deliberately raised his voice and patted her on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Gretchen's body stiffened, and she looked up at him blankly, as if she had broken free of some inexplicable state. She quickly stepped back and ran back to the easel, her face flushed.

"That was just for research purposes."

A few dozen seconds later, Gretchen's faint, mosquito-like voice slowly rang out.

"Yes, it's just research."

Nangong Yu nodded affirmatively.

Even if there is something, it can only be studied!

He could pretend nothing had happened, but Gretchen felt like she was about to explode.

What have I done to the Knight?!

Touching me, touching me all over, and then making such embarrassing noises, waaaaah...

However, the knight's body feels so firm and warm to the touch, I really want to... Oh no, stop thinking about it!!!

Shaking her little head, Gretchen quickly shifted her gaze to the painting.

However, she, who could usually concentrate on drawing quickly, suddenly found it difficult to focus at this moment. Every now and then, she would steal a glance at Mr. Knight, but would quickly look away, her face turning red and her mind a mess.

As a result, it took her almost an hour longer than usual to finish the drawing.

"finished?"

Seeing Gretchen put down her paintbrush, Nangong Yu asked a question.

“Hmm.” Gretchen nodded.

"I've finished too!" Sagiri said on the screen.

Today she was truly treated to a feast for the eyes. Gretchen, who usually seemed so soft and gentle, was surprisingly bold.

During that brief interaction, Sagiri exclaimed, "Is this something I can watch for free?"

This is how I came up with the inspiration for the notebook at the next CM comic convention!

A forbidden love between a knight and a princess. A tall knight, a petite princess, but in reality, the princess is the one who's on top, hehehe...

Leaving aside Sagiri, who was lost in her own thoughts, Gretsch saw that Nangong Yu wanted to come closer to look at the painting, so she immediately stepped in front of him and blocked his way: "No, you can't look!"

"why?"

"For...for...anyway, you can't watch it."

"Alright alright."
