"Really." Kato Megumi looked the blonde beauty in front of her up and down. "You have fair skin, bright hair, and a slender figure. It's so much fun to help you dress up... Ah, would you like to try this hoodie on?"

"Huh?" Unable to resist Kato Megumi, Eriri had no choice but to go into the changing room.

Kato Megumi rediscovered the feeling of playing with dolls with her older sister when she was a child.

Well... in a way, Eriri is indeed a doll.

When Eriri reappeared before Kato Megumi, she was wearing a plain white dress. Her little fangs were slightly tucked between her teeth as she nervously bit her lower lip. The girl blushed and looked to the side, "Wh...how is it?"

"It suits you very well." Kato Megumi handed over a light green hoodie. "Try this one too."

"Eh? We still need to try."

"Dresses are for going out, but hoodies are more comfortable at home."

"I have a gym uniform now."

"We can't always wear gym clothes."

"Hmm... okay."

While waiting, Kato Megumi picked out several more outfits.

Chapter 139 On a Boat

“Found it.” Eriri held a sketchbook in her hand, her pencil flying up and down. “An expression of great interest in something that interests her.”

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked at the sketchbook in her hand. "Why are you carrying a sketchbook?"

"Because this is an essential item for members of the art club."

"Even if it's an essential item, there's no need to bring it into the fitting room."

After a busy day, Kato Megumi successfully changed Eriri's clothes many times.

"Mochi~" Back at Kobayashi Sora's house, Eriri hugged the cat that came up to her. "I said...aren't you growing a little too fast?"

Before, Nian Gao could only hug the lower legs, but now she can hug the upper legs.

"So heavy..."

"Meow~" Rice cake protested.

“You watch the rice cakes,” Kato Megumi said, tying her hair up. “I’m going to make dinner.”

"Mmm!" Eriri sat on the sofa, holding mochi, and gently scratched the cat's neck, hearing its happy purring.

The reason I returned to Kobayashi Sora's house was for this meal.

“Speaking of which…” Eriri suddenly realized, “So you’re good at cooking.”

“I’m not really good at it,” Kato Megumi replied from the kitchen. “I can only cook a little bit. Sora is better at cooking than me, so he usually does the cooking.”

"I see... huh?"

Eriri suddenly remembered.

When did Kato Megumi start calling Kobayashi Sora a different name?

Ah... Could it be because of its weak presence that even the change in address has been overlooked?

So how many things have I overlooked...?

Eriri was playing with the cat on the sofa when she soon heard Kato Megumi's voice, "It's all better now, go wash your hands."

"Okay." Eriri got up to wash her hands, feeling a strange sense of unease.

Speaking of which... I think I'm friends with Kato Megumi.

Although she picked out clothes for herself, cooked for herself, and even made herself look after the kitten, reminding herself to wash her hands before meals...

But I think I and Kato Megumi are just friends, right?

Um......

"Delicious!" Eriri's eyes lit up at the table. "Megumi, your cooking is even better than Kobayashi's!"

"No way..."

Eriri squinted her eyes contentedly as she savored Kato Megumi's cooking.

Well, that's right.

The person who can make such delicious food must be a friend, not your mother.

Sayuri Sawamura doesn't have that kind of cooking skill.

After eating and drinking her fill and tidying up a bit, Eriri started working again.

As mentioned before, Kobayashi Sora can complete some simple tasks, but there are other tasks that require drawing skills.

For example, when shading hair, you can use white paint to draw the inside of the hair lines that fall on the face to show the transparency of the hair. This little trick is often used in shoujo manga.

You can also use white paint to outline the outer edges of the hair, which will make the character stand out and add a sense of depth. The same treatment can be applied to the narration text; modifying the outlines of nearby objects will achieve the same effect.

The entry of light can also be represented by dots made of white paint, which can enhance the brightness of the picture. For areas illuminated by sunlight, you can use white paint to outline the general shape to represent the effect of strong light.

These all require basic drawing skills to complete, so Eriri had to do it herself.

Eriri was engrossed in her work when she looked up and saw Megumi Kato reading a large book.

That book was frighteningly thick, making it daunting to look at.

"what is that?"

"Oh... I'm just browsing." Kato Megumi put the book aside. "Do you need any help?"

“There are still quite a few outlet signs that haven’t been put up…” Eriri said, pointing out the current problem. “Well, it’s okay, I can do it myself.”

“I was listening when you were telling Kong Qing the story.” Kato Megumi thought for a moment. “Hmm, give me a draft of the draft first.”

"Here, take this." Eriri handed over a discarded manuscript.

"Hmm... I remember it was the place marked with a blue pencil, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Kato Megumi carefully tore off the appropriately sized halftone dot paper from the backing paper, placed it where it was to be pasted, made sure the angle was correct, and then pasted it little by little onto the original paper. Then, she used a paper presser to gently push the halftone dot paper in a circular motion from the inside out to press out the air and make the halftone dot paper stick flat on the original paper.

"Not bad." Eriri's eyes lit up, and she handed several sheets to Kato Megumi. "These are for you."

"Okay."

"Speaking of which..." Eriri chatted with Kato Megumi while working, "Megumi, why did you join the club?"

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was taken aback. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Look, Rin only joined for the game, I joined for the manga, and there are other reasons too. Kasumigaoka Utaha's editor is Kobayashi, and she probably joined the club with ulterior motives towards Rin... Anyway, there are reasons for everything. What about yours?"

“Mine…” Kato Megumi blinked.

Before I knew it, a long time had passed.

Speaking of which, why did I join in the first place?

“It should be…” Kato Megumi thought for a moment, “Let’s change it.”

"Change yourself?" Eriri tilted her head. "Well, that makes sense. Your role was indeed quite weak before, but it's much better now."

"Much better?"

“Yeah.” Eriri nodded. “How should I put it… I guess she’s a little temperamental?”

"Is this a compliment?"

"I guess so."

What a temper!

Kato Megumi pursed her lips slightly.

But...

When she decided to join, she was still the same person with a weak presence.

She is used to taking care of other people's feelings and is unwilling to express her own thoughts.

So at that time, what she wanted to change... wasn't herself.

"So, do you want to help me change, or do you need help, or are you just in the same boat?"

That's what she asked Kobayashi Sora back then.

It's like two people facing a vast ocean.

Living on a deserted island where only you are.

Although they were all tired of life on the deserted island.

but......

It was Kobayashi Sora who decided to go to sea.

He wanted to make a change.

So I reached out my hand to her.

Kato Megumi doesn't care about change.

But... seeing that Kobayashi Sora was about to take action, I wanted to help him out.

As a result, he took her to a boat.

Before I knew it, so much time had passed.

It's too late to get off the ship now.

However... I didn't have that kind of thought.

“Found it.” Eriri held a sketchbook in her hand, her pencil flying up and down. “An expression of longing.”

Chapter 140 You're So Despicable

"Um...no, no." Kato Megumi lowered her head. "What do you mean by missing someone? That's weird."
