In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who longed for a peaceful life.

"Really? That's good."

Zian Yan smiled faintly and stepped aside to make way for her.

Generally speaking, girls hope that the person they like is a hero.

But she was different; she only hoped that the person she loved could live a safe and happy life.

The two did not exchange any more words, and each changed their clothes in the changing room before leaving.

As she was leaving, Tsubame saw a girl with long purple hair and small braids riding in the same elevator as Yoshikage Kira.

Chapter 114 May: I'm so scared! God: Don't be afraid, let me be scared first!

Inside the elevator, Yoshikage Kira whispered:

"Awaited."

"It's ok."

Yuna Shimazaki's pretty face flushed slightly. "I also used this time to work, so it's okay."

Yoshikage Kira has some questions:

"Work?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded slightly. "It was editor Kagurazaka who contacted me. I'm creating illustrations for a light novel."

Is it Dengeki Bunko?

"It's a work by Fushigawa Bunko, and the title is 'Love Metronome'."

Yoshikage Kira suddenly realized that the world was indeed not that big.

Yuna Shimazaki explained softly to Takashi:

"Because the second volume of 'Love Metronome' was not selling well, it was originally facing cancellation, but the publisher still gave the author the opportunity to publish the third volume. However, the original illustrator did not want to continue to be responsible for such a work that was destined to be cancelled, so a new illustrator needed to be found."

"The editor of Kasumi Utako, the author of 'Love Metronome,' was a classmate of Kagurazaka-san and told Kagurazaka-san about this during a casual chat. So Kagurazaka-san contacted me and hoped that I would be in charge of the illustrations for this work."

An illustrator's popularity is positively correlated with their work. If an illustrator's work sells well, their popularity will also rise. On the other hand, if the work they're responsible for is actually terrible but sells very well, the illustrator will even earn the reputation of "buying illustrations and getting toilet paper for free," thus greatly increasing their fame.

While Shimazaki Yu's drawing skills are outstanding, she initially drew simply out of hobby and had never been responsible for any works before, only being a moderately famous content creator on the internet. Although her rapidly rising popularity and drawing skills earned her an opportunity to collaborate with a well-known producer, all of this was ruined by cyberbullying.

Given her circumstances, it would have been impossible for her to even continue painting, let alone receive any decent commissions.

While "Love Metronome" faces the prospect of being canceled, it is still a work that has been granted publication rights, which is a very rare opportunity for a newcomer like Yuna Shimazaki.

Kagurazaka Ayame must have put in a lot of effort to secure this opportunity for Shimazaki Yuna.

Otherwise, Shinazugawa Bunko wouldn't have bothered with an artist like Yuna Shimazaki, who has a history of plagiarism. Although such things can be easily identified as slander with a little investigation, even if it's just public opinion arising from rumors, it's still public opinion.

Most people would consider the impact of public opinion and choose to keep their distance from Yuna Shimazaki.

As one of the three major paperback publishers, Fushigawa Bunko is unlikely to lack illustrators. So what if the original illustrators go on strike?

If you don't do it, plenty of others will!

Without a doubt, Kagurazaka Ayame is a qualified editor, even overly concerned about the authors under her command.

Ding dong~!

The elevator doors opened, and Shimazaki Yuna, who was about to say something, lowered her head and didn't immediately step out. Instead, she deliberately lagged behind a few steps, maintaining a comfortable distance from Kira Yoshikage, and headed towards the nearby Roppongi-ichome Station.

Ding!

The train slowed down and arrived at the station. The doors opened, and the carriage was empty.

The girl, smoothing her skirt, sat down next to Yoshikage Kira and asked softly:

"Kira-kun, I've sent you the illustrations I'm in charge of. Could you take a look at them when you have some time?"

"it is good."

Yoshikage Kira withdrew his gaze from scanning the carriage and focused it on the dimly lit screen of his phone.

A haughty childhood friend with black hair in a high ponytail, arms crossed, and a displeased expression; a proud young lady with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, and a voluptuous figure; a gentle cross-dresser with short blonde hair; a short, flat-chested childhood friend with brown hair in twin ponytails; and a haughty, silver-haired android loli...

Looking at the pictures sent on LINE—school uniforms, swimsuits, mecha-style outfits—the House of Commons was immediately filled with awe.

Yuna Shimazaki's voice sounded a little nervous:

"Kira-kun, how are you feeling?"

"very nice."

Yoshikage Kira's heartfelt praise:

"The hand-drawn version is fantastic!"

There aren't many illustrations that can instantly capture the essence of BOKI. Most artists have a very superficial understanding of hands, and sometimes their work even falls apart. This is because they tend to focus too much on the face and other fleshy parts, completely neglecting the importance of hands, and often just rushing through the work.

Yuna Shimazaki, on the other hand, would not make such a mistake. In each of her illustrations, she meticulously depicted the hands of these girls, making them nearly perfect, which greatly satisfied Yoshikage Kira's heart.

The only problem is—

Yoshikage Kira pointed to one of the illustrations:

"Yuna, aren't there some oddities in these pictures?"

"Huh?"

Shimazaki Yuna looked over in a panic, only to realize that the illustrations Kira Yoshikage was pointing to all belonged to the male protagonist, Orimura Ichika.

Shimazaki Yuna couldn't figure out the problem for a while, then blinked:

Is something wrong?

Although the character is male, Yuna Shimazaki didn't cut corners; instead, she meticulously depicted Ichika Orimura's hands. In fact, Ichika Orimura's illustrations are her most heartfelt and satisfying works, bar none!

Isn't it obvious?

Kira Yoshikage pointed at Orimura Ichika's hair, "Why is it blonde? I remember the setting was supposed to be black hair, right?"

"Huh? Huh! That, that..."

Shimazaki Yuna blushed, finally realizing the problem, and her eyes darted away.

Because Kira-kun was constantly on her mind while she was drawing, the male protagonist was modeled after Kira-kun. In the end, she forgot to change the hair color and stuff... How could she say something like that?

Just as the girl was wondering how to explain, Yoshikage Kira spoke up:

"Did you confuse it with the male protagonist in the other illustrations?"

"Huh? Ah! That's right, that's exactly it!"

Seeing that Yoshikage Kira had come to the rescue, Yuna Shimazaki nodded her little head rapidly like a chick pecking at rice.

Kira Yoshikage had no doubts about the girl's attitude.

After all, he was in charge of five works at the same time, so it was normal to occasionally mix up the character designs.

Besides, it wasn't a big deal; changing the color would have solved it, and he wouldn't have reprimanded Shimazaki Yuna for it.

however.

When Yoshikage Kira saw the illustrations of the male protagonists from "Re:Zero" and "Accel World", he fell silent.

RE0 is understandable, since Giorno is blonde, but it's a bit far-fetched that even Accel World has a blonde boy.

Although he didn't go so far as to specifically depict the "accelerated pig" character from the original work, the male protagonist is just an ordinary teenager.

Why does it also turn into blonde hair?

Shimazaki Yuna lowered her head guiltily, a blush rising on her cheeks, her lips trembling slightly, her expression extremely embarrassed.

So, for the rest of the time, Shimazaki Yuna didn't say a word.

-----------------

Hachioji City, Tokyo.

Standing beside the abandoned highway, looking at the dilapidated temple shrouded in darkness, Nino Nakano stared in disbelief.

"You said it would be nearby?"

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly retorted:

"Hachioji City is also in Tokyo, why not nearby?"

Satsuki Nakano muttered to herself:

"Tokyo is also Tokyo, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita remained unfazed.

"Your task tonight is to exorcise the deities enshrined in the temple. The method is irrelevant, and the time limit is unlimited."

Nakano Ichika asked hesitantly:

"Yukinoshita-kun, what level are the gods here?"

“Level 2,” Yukino Yukinoshita replied.

"Level 2?"

The Nakano Five Sisters breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't Level 1 or Special Grade, it was fine.

Takanashi Touka, who had been watching from the sidelines, hesitated, wanting to ask a question:

Do you guys have some misunderstanding about Level 2 Cursed Spirits? Why do you look so relieved to hear it's just a Level 2 Cursed Spirit?

It's only been a few days since you were terrified by a Level 4 cursed spirit in that abandoned building in Roppongi, right? Before that, you could barely exorcise even a Level 4 cursed spirit, so who gave you the courage to think you could handle a Level 2 cursed spirit?

and.

Ms. Yukinoshita, are you serious? Sending a few newbies to exorcise a level 2 cursed spirit, just how confident are you?

Even the teachers at the notoriously unreliable Spellcasting Academy wouldn't do something like that!

Is it her who's acting strange, or are you guys acting strangely?

Nino Nakano embraced the plump slime with both arms, raising her snow-white chin:

"Anyway, as long as we exorcise the gods, we can go back, right?"
