Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

I asked her more than ten times how to draw this part, how to draw this part to bring out the feeling.

She didn't find it annoying, but Uesugi Kai did.

It seems that my intelligence is useless in painting, or is painting itself a process of accumulating skills?

At noon, while eating in the art student research room that Kitagawa Sakakisa had bought, Uesugi Kai, sitting on the sofa, looked at his hands covered in lead dust and fell into a state of sudden enlightenment.

"Is he about to become a Buddha?" Kitagawa Sakakisa looked at him while playing her PS5 beside him.

"No, I feel like I'm about to become an immortal... I'll go wash my hands first." After washing her hands in the small kitchen, Uesugi Kai went back to the kitchen.

"Relax," Kitagawa Sakakisa was firing her submachine gun intensely, her eyes fixed intently on the 100-inch TV in front of her. "I was in the same state before I studied art. I practiced every day, every day, but I didn't know what I was learning. It was so frustrating that I even pulled my hair out."

How did you overcome it?

“Hanabi-chan,” Kitagawa Sakakisa said, pulling the trigger of the controller and rapidly firing at the enemies in the game. “With her guidance, I’ll gradually learn. My teacher is too busy, with too many students to take care of, so I let Hanabi-chan teach me.”

"Where are Rika Kyuu and Rika Ayaka?"

"They are studying hard, Rika is studying hard, and Riei is still struggling with her exams. She is in seclusion to cultivate, so you haven't seen her these past few days."

Kitagawa Sakakisa stared at the television screen, then suddenly opened her mouth wide and said angrily:

"This guy! He's definitely cheating! He could snipe me from this far away."

Kai Uesugi glanced at the TV. Although he was a complete novice when it came to games, he knew that the PS5, unlike the PC platform, didn't have cheat codes.

"Watch me take care of him!" Kitagawa Sakakisa rallied her spirits, maneuvering her character out of the trenches and relentlessly charging through the war-torn area.

Unfortunately, she was shot down by a sniper halfway through her charge.

[Kill ID: Renwoxia]

"It's that guy again! No way, I have to teach him a lesson!"

Kitagawa Sakakisa didn't give up at all, even crossing her legs on the sofa and becoming completely absorbed in the game.

Once, twice, three times, five times...

They all died at that guy's hands.

She was so angry she was practically fuming, and almost smashed the controller to pieces.

"Ugh...ugh...I'm so angry!!"

Kai Uesugi remained calm and held out his hand. "Why are you getting angry over a game? Give me the controller, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Take this! Avenge me, kill him!" Kitagawa Sakakisa didn't care whether Uesugi Kai was reliable or not, and generously handed him the controller.

Kai Uesugi switched to his most powerful iron-sight rifle and charged straight out.

"Hey! Be careful, don't die as soon as you come out..."

With a bang, an enemy who had only appeared on screen for less than a second was taken down by Uesugi Kai with his bolt-action rifle.

"That's amazing?" Kitagawa Sakakisa was taken aback by his incredible reaction.

Kai Uesugi quickly manipulated the controller to pull the character down from the trench and reloaded a bullet.

He took two steps forward and encountered an assault soldier with a submachine gun at the corner.

The other party didn't hesitate and fired directly, but Uesugi Kai beat him to it and shot him in the head.

boom!

The enemy fell to the ground again.

"???"

Kitagawa Sakakisa was not the only one with a lot of questions.

On the other side of the screen, the player sitting at home, holding the controller, was even more stunned.

This guy's reaction time is so fast? And so accurate? He just managed a headshot?

Yes, it must have been good luck.

......

"Where is the guy who killed you?" On the way forward, Uesugi Kai casually took care of two more small fry.

"Their camp, that guy is a sniper." Kitagawa Sakakisa was already getting excited. She found that Uesugi seemed to be able to hit anything, with every shot finding its mark.

"A sniper, huh?"

Uesugi Kai manipulated his character to look up; the other party seemed to be inside a fortress.

A medic was trying to treat the wounded when he was shot in the head and his body rolled next to Uesugi Kai.

Kitagawa Sakaki shook her head: "Ew~ Poor medic."

After scouting for a while, Uesugi Kai found out the sniper's location, and discovered that the enemy was also aiming at his area.

If you both peek out at this moment and spot each other at the same time, it becomes a contest of who has the fastest hands and the fastest reaction time.

"Watch me confront him head-on."

Without hesitation, Uesugi Kai manipulated his character to squat on a small stone block, then stood up and aimed at the guy in the fortress whose ID was Renwoxia.

The other party spotted him instantly.

Ren Woxia was an experienced gamer. When he saw the ID in front of him that he had killed several times, he didn't hesitate and immediately turned around to aim at the opponent's head.

Just as he was turning his view at a speed that even experts would find difficult to match, the screen suddenly went black, and a line of text appeared at the top:

【You are dead】

[Kill ID: Miss Kitagawa]

"impossible!!"

The male gamer behind the screen, who was playing the character "Renwoxia," couldn't sit still any longer. He got up angrily from his 10-square-meter home and bumped into the wooden board where he had put his things.

boom...

"S~"

He frowned, rubbed the back of his head, and sat down again in his cramped room, gripping the controller in one hand. He looked at the reborn character on the screen, calmed himself down, and used the controller to continue heading towards the fortress he had just been to.

They abandoned everything!

Living in this cramped 10-square-meter home!

How could I possibly lose to a defeated opponent when it's just for the sake of the game!

Ren Woxia regained his confidence, picked up his bolt-action rifle, and stepped forward again to position it at the firing port of the fortress. He scanned the battlefield and finally spotted his target, "Miss Kitagawa." He immediately moved his view and crosshair using his unparalleled experience.

boom!

However, when the gunshot rang out, he could only stare dumbfounded at the blacked-out screen and the character who had been shot in the head and fallen to the ground.

Why?

He refused to believe in superstition and went forward to challenge them time and time again.

Although... the result is still the same.

Once, twice, three times... four times, ten times, twenty times...

He was completely overwhelmed by "Miss Kitagawa".

"Why...why..."

In reality, Ren Woxia stared blankly at the television screen, the image turning black again reflected in his glasses, and he murmured a series of numb questions.

"Yay! We got our revenge!!!" Kitagawa Sakakisa was overjoyed.

Kai Uesugi smiled and pushed up his glasses with his middle finger: "It's alright."

Having just finished cooking with Hanabi Hanabi, Rika Kyuu called out to the guys playing games on the sofa, "You two, time to eat!"

###Chapter 472 Uesugi's Personal Illustrator###

Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

"Hey, Uesugi, that guy named Renwaxia wants to add me as a friend."

"Ignore him." Uesugi Kai said, getting up from the sofa. "If you hadn't gotten your revenge, he probably wouldn't have responded to you even if you added him as a friend. So, in return, just refuse him."

Kitagawa Sakakisa thought it made sense at first, but something still felt off. She couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she simply agreed, "Okay! If you don't want to add it, then don't! What is that guy anyway!"

"Uesugi, you're even better at games than Sakakisa?" Rika Kuju distributed the bowls and chopsticks, and ladled a bowl of white rice for each of the four people.

"good."

Kai Uesugi said, and sat down next to Hanabi Hanamaru.

Kitagawa Sakakisa picked up her chopsticks and said, "Uesugi's technique is definitely not his first time playing this game; he must have a lot of experience!"

This is truly the first time.

However, Uesugi Kai knew but didn't say anything, and just ate his meal in silence.

If Kitagawa Sakakisa knew that she was this good at this game on her first try, she would definitely keep asking him why.

It's best to say less.

After having lunch in the art research room, Uesugi Kai saw Hanabi Hanabi washing dishes by herself, so he offered to help her.

"How's Kai-kun's novel coming along?" Hanabi Hanamaru handed him a washed bowl.

"I just finished the first volume, would you like to see it?" Uesugi Kai took the bowl from her.

"Kai-kun, you're not writing a tragic novel, are you?" Hanabi Hanamaru cast a suspicious glance at him.

"How could you have such a thought?" Uesugi Kai asked in surprise. "I love reading about how the characters in books become better. Actually, I wrote a story about growth and taking on responsibilities."

Hanabi Hanamaru nodded and turned to wash the dishes. "I always feel that Kai-kun is a little different from everyone else's light novels."

"Huh? What's the difference?"

"It's just... there's no magic or anything like that in the setting."

"Hanabi-chan, this is purely a romance novel."

"Is it different?" Hanabi Hanabi asked, her face full of doubt. She handed the washed chopsticks to Kai Uesugi to wash again.
