In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Ignoring Goto Ichiri's sobs, Takahashi Kaede turned around and discussed with Eriri where to go next.

Finally, with Goto Ichiri's suggestion, Eriri's agreement, and Takahashi Kaede's passive acceptance, everyone came to Takahashi Kaede's home, played a video game, and enjoyed a dinner carefully prepared by Takahashi Kaede.

One is a socially anxious person, one is a otaku, and one is a potential otaku girl. It might be more practical to ask Blizzard to lower the price of the game rather than letting the three of them go shopping.

After sending everyone home one by one, Takahashi Feng sat back in front of the computer at his desk and began to conceive the plot of the love line.

Just as he was communicating with Asada through the chat software, a small red dot suddenly appeared in the plus sign in the upper right corner.

"Kashiwagi Eri, who is this? Why did you add me suddenly?"

A person with an Ahegao avatar suddenly requests to be added as a friend. There’s no need to guess whether this avatar is Takahashi Kaede or not, it must have been taken from some hentai anime.

"Could it be the painter?"

After all, Asada just told him that he would help him find an artist, so maybe he came here because of the news.

[Hello Mr. Hashi, I am an illustrator who would like to cooperate with you. 】

Takahashi Kaede's online name is Hash. After posting the first paragraph, this person named Kashiwagi Eri sent another link.

[This is the website where I upload my works. I am very interested in Mr. Hashi's novel project. I hope we can have a lot of cooperation in the future (^ ^ )]

When he clicked on the URL, Takahashi Kaede was shocked by the content of the paintings inside.

This is indeed a professional match. I need to find an illustrator who can draw eye-catching pictures, and this guy is a genuine erotic cartoonist. Although they are all individual paintings and there are no commercial works such as single volumes, I believe there will be one soon.

[Excuse me, are you from Mr. Asada? ]

Just to be on the safe side, Takahashi Feng asked.

[Yes, Mr. Asada contacted me just now and said that there is a novelist who is in trouble and needs my help, so I came here. How about it, can you accept my style of painting? ]

After carefully appreciating the work of Ms. Eri Kashiwagi, it is not so much acceptable as it is completely suitable!

At first glance, you can tell that he is a master immersed in the adult field. The girls he paints are full of charm in both posture and expression. The girl sitting in a duck position turns her head to reveal her proud body curves. Her cool clothes vaguely reveal something amazing, and her toes sway like jade. If you are a foot fetishist, you probably won't be able to take your eyes away.

Unfortunately, Takahashi Kaede is not a foot fetishist, and he has no desire in this regard. His evaluation at this moment is the purest evaluation without any preference or desire.

And his evaluation is: Great!

[Acceptable! I can't find a better one! I didn't expect the first illustrator I found would be so outstanding. I'm really ecstatic! ]

I don’t know if it’s my illusion that Takahashi Kaede draws this style, but it always feels very similar to Eriri’s, but the styles are completely different.

Maybe they have the same teacher. How could Eriri be a person who draws erotic comics? This is too shocking.

Takahashi Feng blew away the inappropriate thoughts from his mind and continued to discuss cooperation with teacher Kashiwagi Eri.

And in a big house built on a mountain in the distance, Eriri was typing on the keyboard while suppressing her shame.

[It seems that I have won Mr. Hashi's first time~~]

[As expected of teacher Kashiwagi Eri, she sounds very erotic as soon as she opens her mouth! 】

Eriri, with blushing cheeks, was breathing heavily when she saw the message sent by Takahashi Kaede.

"As expected of teacher Kashiwagi Eri, she's very erotic~~"

Her confused brain automatically converted the text into Takahashi Kaede's voice, and as if with reverberation turned on, the voice kept echoing in her mind.

“Meowaaaaaahhhh!!! This is so embarrassing!! Why would I do such an embarrassing thing!!”

"Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Don't think about it!"

Jumping onto the big bed, Ying Lili rolled on it wildly, shouting as she rolled.

It was too difficult for her to play this kind of mask game with acquaintances.

That’s right, this teacher Eri Kashiwagi is the blonde lady and otaku, Eriri Sawamura.

Because she really didn't dare to tell Takahashi Kaede that she had started drawing erotic comics, for fear that Takahashi Kaede would look at her strangely from then on, Eriri changed her identity on the Internet and transformed herself into Kashiwagi Eri to bring blessings to the otakus.

By the way, let me share some of the rice of the otaku.

When Asada proposed to replace an artist who could draw a erotic cover, Eriri began to consider transferring herself to Kashiwagi Eri's small account. After all, Eriri's identity actually limited her performance, as Kashiwagi Eri was the complete form.

Moreover, this will not only help Takahashi Kaede, but also will not expose her identity, which is a win-win situation.

So she asked for Asada's contact information in the cafe, and as soon as she got home, she went to find Asada.

Without hiding anything, she directly revealed her identity as Kashiwagi Eri.

She was really impressed by Asada's performance in the cafe. She didn't think there was any need for anonymity for such pure editing.

And she didn't care whether Asada knew about it or not. After all, their future contact would definitely be limited to the Internet. They were doing business, so there was nothing to hide.

[There are many hidden talents around Takahashi. 】

After knowing the truth, Asada made this comment, expressing the slight shock in his heart.

Finally, he readily agreed and sent her Takahashi Kaede's contact number.

Chapter 55: Timid Eriri

After lying on the bed for a long time, Eriri finally recovered and looked up. She found that Takahashi Kaede had sent her a new message. She didn't care about the embarrassment anymore and hurriedly sat down.

During this time, she hit her toe because she was too anxious, and the unbearable pain diluted the embarrassment of Eriri having to check the news.

[Can you please follow the structure of these pictures, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri? You can change the subject and put the focus on the female character, but keep the remaining elements. ]

Below are several attachments. Ying Lili, who was in pain, downloaded them one by one and then opened them with the computer's built-in image processor.

Aren't these the ones I drew before? Didn't you say that these pictures are not good and need to be redrawn?

Ying Lili looked at the pictures with a puzzled look on her face. Come to think of it, she still remembered them clearly.

Almost every detail on each picture was designed by her and Takahashi Kaede together. The two even had an argument in the middle of the process, and she can even remember what they were arguing about.

Come to think of it, a work that I spent so much effort on was directly abandoned. If I could not continue to participate in the creation, I would definitely be very disappointed and sad...

What is Feng going to do?

[? I can't do something like plagiarizing directly. I still have to have some professional ethics.]

In accordance with the character she set for the account 'Kashiwagi Eri', Eriri posted this paragraph very calmly.

[Oh, sorry, I'll post the world view and settings of my work. ]

Gao Qiaofeng replied with this, followed by a large number of documents and pictures.

Actually, you don’t have to send it to me. Aren’t these all made by you and me together?

Ying Lili really wanted to say this, but due to her status, she did not type it out.

[This book was originally created by me and a friend who is an artist. These paintings were also created by her. However, after communicating with the editor this time, he thought that the paintings did not match the style of the work and asked me to change to a more eye-catching artist.]

There seemed to be a gleam of light in Eriri's blue eyes, and she was looking forward to what Takahashi Kaede was going to say.

[You can see that she has put a lot of effort into these works. I hope you can revise them based on them, or use them as templates. I want her to be able to find the shadow of her own works when she sees these covers.]

Eriri took the teddy bear from the bed and hugged it tightly in her arms. The furry touch made her feel at ease.

[After all, she also participated in the production and setting of the work. If there is no trace of her in the finished product, it must be a failure. ]

In order to illustrate Takahashi Kaede's novel, Eriri actually made a great sacrifice.

She is now the ace of the art club. The previous director and deputy director have graduated and left. Although she did not run for the director position, she actually does a lot of things.

But ever since she had the illustration assignment, she rarely participated in the art club's missions, including some painting competitions that could bring convenience to her in the future.

After all, when she was sick and bored, she asked Gaoqiao Feng to come and play with her. Gaoqiao Feng came every time and found different ways to make her happy. Occasionally, he would make soup for her to nourish her body.

She still remembered that every time she was sick, the first sentence Takahashi Feng said when he entered the room was always the same.

"I told you that you don't exercise enough and your body is weak, so you always get sick. How can you stay at home all day? Even a stay-at-home girl needs to be in good health to stay at home."

Then he would take out some small gifts from behind.

Sometimes it was snacks from the convenience store, sometimes it was small hairpins that girls liked, and sometimes it was Goto Ichiri coming out from behind him.

Anyway, when she fell ill at that time, the first thing she thought of was not the discomfort, but what surprises Takahashi Feng would bring.

She always felt that Gaoqiao Feng was not like a child, but unlike the adults, it was not that his abilities were different from those of his peers, but that Gaoqiao Feng was very caring. He was like an uncle who was good at amusing children and could play with them.

Most people's promises and agreements are just jokes, and maybe the enthusiasm can last for a few weeks after they are said.

But as time goes by, we will always forget.

Even my mother rarely fulfills her promises, let alone ordinary friends.

But after Gao Qiaofeng made the agreement with her, he almost never missed any of them.

Whenever Eriri is sick, Takahashi Kaede will appear.

Even when he was busy with club activities, he would show up, saying he was just visiting and would bring some small gifts.

When Takahashi Kaede approached her and asked her to help draw illustrations for the light novel, she was communicating with a classmate in the art department, using a pencil to mark the missing details in that classmate's painting.

Takahashi Feng was originally planning to show her the manuscript and was prepared to spend a lot of time convincing her, but he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Eriri had already put on her schoolbag.

From that day on, Eriri devoted almost 100% of her enthusiasm, and the two of them would get together to write and draw whenever they had free time. Other children would copy each other's homework when they got together, but they were working towards a common light novel project.

When Ying Lili thought about it carefully, she felt a little proud.

Seeing what Takahashi Feng had just said, Ying Lili's nose couldn't help but wet. He always considered her feelings like this, whether he was sick or now.

[I was very touched. When Mr. Asada asked me to make the decision, I actually didn't plan to change the artist. Haha, my fate with Ms. Kashiwagi Eri is still due to her.]

[If she hadn't told me it was okay, I would definitely not agree. She was very determined. In that situation, if she showed any sign of hesitation, I would not agree. But she was as determined as a piece of steel.]

[So, Mr. Kashiwagi Eri, can you agree to use these paintings as a reference for your paintings? ]

Finally, Takahashi Kaede used a few emojis of hands clasped together.

Ying Lili suddenly felt that she was very cunning, using this trick to deceive other people's feelings. He obviously didn't have to say so much for her. As long as she was brave enough, she wouldn't even need such troublesome communication.

Isn't it just drawing erotic comics? She even dared to tell her parents, but why doesn't she dare to mention it to Takahashi Kaede?

She actually knew in her heart that even if she told him, Takahashi Feng would definitely not look at her strangely, and might even help promote her. Judging from the way he spoke to Mr. Asada that day, he definitely knew as much about this subject as she did.

But there is no way, who told her that she is the most timid Ying Lili, her first reaction when encountering something is to hide, if she is a little white rabbit hiding at home, then she is definitely the most timid little white rabbit, if there is a hungry wolf knocking at the door, she will definitely be the one to cover her head with a pillow...

Chapter 56: Indirect Attack

Gao Qiaofeng said a lot of words nervously. He was not sure about the teacher's temper and didn't know whether he would agree.

Although Eriri herself said she didn't care, Takahashi Kaede still felt a little guilty about it. Being able to help him so much, she must have considered him a very good friend in her heart.

If possible, he hoped that the paintings could be put into the book intact, but Eriri might not be happy about this.

After all, she had said it so firmly, and if I still took the initiative to paint the original picture, I might end up making things worse.

[Yes, but some of them are not easy to draw. Logically, you should have a lot of welfare plots in it, which is the focus of the painting, but the paintings you gave me are all very formal scenes. If I replace them all as they are, the effect may not be very good.]

A long time passed, so long that Takahashi Kaede almost dozed off, before teacher Kashiwagi Eri sent a new message.

As expected of the teacher recommended by Asada, he hit the nail on the head.

In fact, there are no doujinshi or single books published on Ms. Eri Kashiwagi's homepage. As an online artist, she is still only at the stage of producing pictures regularly, but her understanding of illustration is so mature that it is reassuring.

Since you waited for so long, I guess you must have been carefully checking the manuscript. You are such a serious teacher.

[Don't worry about these, just change what can be changed. As for the plots you mentioned, I will write them out and send them to you soon, don't worry.]

It seems that the situation is stable. Gao Qiaofeng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was actually prepared to be rejected.

The dragon he drew with Eriri was his bottom line, and this element had to be retained no matter what.

But now everyone is happy. Teacher Eri Kashiwagi seems easy to talk to, and it seems that we can rest assured to look for her for cooperation in the future.

[Who is that painter to you? ]

Did unnecessary misunderstanding arise because of my description just now?

Takahashi Feng touched his chin and answered honestly.

[We're good friends. We started playing together a long time ago. And she's a girl.]

[It is because she is a girl that I am embarrassed to ask her to draw erotica. If she were a boy, I would definitely ask him without hesitation. I am not satisfied with what you said. We are only about ten years old. Many people are not even sure about the concept of erotica. ]

There was no movement from teacher Eri Kashiwagi again.

He must be shocked by his own ten-year-old age. After all, if a famous light novelist is still in high school, he can be promoted as the 'youngest light novelist', so it would be even more likely for an elementary school student like him to make a fuss.
