Problem Girls Strategy

"Then let's have a private video chat!"

"That's not OK!"

"You're so cute, but you won't let me see your underwear."

All I can say is that Sagiri Izumi has entered the "Eromanga Sensei" state, and her behavior has completely turned into that of a perverted uncle who constantly sexually harasses female high school students.

Jiang Zao interrupted her perverted behavior with a suppressed smile: "Sagiri, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

"Ah...Brother, what...what happened." After returning to her normal state, she immediately felt ashamed of her previous behavior, and her little hands tightly grasped the collar of her shirt.

"I heard from Yiji that you are living alone in a rented house now, right?"

"Yes."

"I plan to bring you to live with me."

"Huh!?" Izumi Sagiri exclaimed. She had never heard such a thing from her sister Ichihime.

Jiang Zao patiently explained to her: "I am worried about you living alone outside, and you don't have to deal with the chores of life here, just concentrate on painting. If you don't like being disturbed by others, there is a relatively quiet basement area, but I don't really want you to choose to live there."

Izumi Sagiri was very excited about Jiang Zao's proposal. She had long heard from Kazama Ichihime about how great her brother's cooking skills were, but she had never had the chance to taste it before. Moreover, she didn't have to do laundry or clean, but just stay in the room to paint. This was exactly the life she had always dreamed of!

She responded excitedly, "Brother! I want to live in the basement!"

As Ying Lili listened to their conversation, these words involuntarily popped up in her mind: Hehehe, from now on you will be my exclusive painting toilet!

"Okay, pack your luggage and I'll pick you up in the evening. I'll ask Yiji to check you out from the landlord."

"Yeah!" Izumi Sagiri quickly hung up the video call, then took off the cartoon mask that she had been wearing on her face, revealing her childish but very delicate face.

She dove into the messy pile of clothes, constantly throwing the clothes she needed to take behind her: "Lace-up panties, hollow panties, lace panties, ah! Have I actually bought this style before? Hmm... Just in case, I'd better take them with me. These are important reference materials."

Because she had been staying at home for a long time, she didn't have much physical strength at all. She was exhausted and out of breath after just packing her luggage. Her silver-white hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead.

Izumi Sagiri unzipped her sportswear and looked down to see that her chest was soaked with sweat, revealing her pink sexy underwear. A cloud of steam suddenly rose above her head, and she let out a cute cry and ran into the bathroom: "How could I forget to change out of this outfit!"

Fortunately, I discovered it in advance. If my brother knew, he would definitely think I was a shy girl.

After ending the call, Jiang Zao walked out of the rest area and saw that the three people in the store were all there, so he told them that his sister would come to live in the cafe.

"Brother Jiang Zao...how many sisters do you have?" Qian Shu's eyes were full of resentment.

"That depends on whether Yiji has adopted a sister out there."

My dear elder sister, didn’t you tell me to encourage me? Why did you give brother Jiang Zao a stepsister?

Qianshu's mouth was pouted so much that it looked like an oil bottle could be hung on it. Jiang Zao could only touch her head and comfort her: "Don't be angry. Let's watch a movie together tonight."

"Hey? Aren't we going to have a welcome party for that stepsister?"

"She's quite shy. After coming here, she probably spends most of her time in the basement doing her own things."

"Wow, so mysterious, can you tell me what she is going to do?"

"Um... cartoonist."

"She's in the same line of work as Miss Sawamura." Chitsuka is still thinking about the other party's comic whose name she doesn't know.

"In short, even if she comes, life won't change. Just do your job well."

"Understood! Brother Jiang Zao, I'm going to prepare for the movie tonight!"

After saying this, Qianzhu ran out of the store and headed straight for the apartment that had become a film storage base.

Jiang Zao put down the hand he had just raised and sighed helplessly: "I haven't told you not to take those romance movies anymore."

"Chizuka's taste for romance films... is very unique." Inoue Takina's mouth twitched slightly. She had been dragged by Chizuka to choose movies many times recently, but her taste was hard to describe. Basically, they were those revenge-themed romance films where you could tell the ending just by looking at the title.

After watching the film several times with her, Inoue Takina decided not to watch this kind of movie anymore. She simply could not understand the so-called love feeling, and even vaguely realized that Chitose's idea of ​​repaying a favor far outweighed other emotions, which instead seemed very strange.

When Qian Shu returned to the cafe with a large bag of personal "selected" movies, Jiang Zao had already set out to pick someone up.

Walnut glanced at the movie "Saved Me and..." with half of its title sticking out of her bag, and immediately sighed in disappointment, then shook her head and went into the lounge area: "You guys watch the movie tonight, I won't join in."

"Takina Takina, come over here and help me choose what to watch tonight."

"Ah... um." Inoue Takina's eyes were dull, and she let Chizuka drag her to start a new round of movie appreciation.

......

Outside an ordinary rental house, Jiang Zao rang the doorbell of a residence named "Mengtian", and a rough man's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Jiang Zao!"

Then there was a noise in the room, and the door slowly opened. A cute silver-haired creature wearing a cartoon mask poked its head out and greeted him in a soft voice: "Brother...you...you are here."

Jiang Zao stared at the cartoon mask with amusement: "It seems that I can't see my sister's true face yet. Have you packed your things?"

"No...it's not like that..." Izumi Sagiri explained to him softly, "I...I'm just a little shy. Give me a little more time...I can take off the mask."

"Okay, there's no need to be so anxious. We still have a long time to spend together, so let's get used to each other slowly."

"Yeah." She nodded vigorously, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I...I have a lot of luggage, can you come in and help me carry it?"

Chapter 395: Relieved Ying Lili

Nothing pleasant happened when Jiang Zao entered Izumi Sagiri's rental house. The only thing was that there were eight suitcases, which looked a little scary. However, this was not a problem for him. He simply waved his hand and put all the suitcases into the storage space, then smiled at his sister-in-law's shocked gaze and took her away.

According to her own request, she didn't even meet the others when she checked into the cafe. If she hadn't seen Jiang Zao coming out of the basement, Qianshu wouldn't even have known that her sister-in-law had arrived.

But just as he said, life in the cafe did not change at all. This stepsister stayed in the basement and never came out to meet them. Meals were delivered to the basement by Jiang Zao. If it were not for trust, Qianshu would have suspected that he was committing a crime such as illegal imprisonment.

However, a subsequent conversation between Jiang Zao and Izumi Sagiri took place in front of them, which dispelled all previous speculations about the basement.

Eriri has been coming to the cafe frequently recently, mainly to confirm the details and plot of the new comic with Esato and Izumi Sagiri. This comic is different from previous doujinshi and is a serious content that is intended to be submitted to a publishing house for publication.

In order to prevent herself from bringing her drawing book habits into comics, she needs to seek Jiang Zao's advice from time to time.

"Hmm... Look here and there, isn't the heroine's body line too provocative? Although comics do have some bonus shots for readers, I still hope they can focus on the content instead of the astringency."

"Sorry, maybe I'm just letting my habit get in. If it were just a separate illustration, it would be fine, but it's really easy to subconsciously treat comics as a book."

All the documents brought to the coffee shop were photocopies. Ying Lili marked the manuscript paper without any pressure and wrote down the notes that needed to be revised. The ballpoint pen moved flexibly on her slender fingertips. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Zao: "Any other questions?"

"Let me see..." Because he was not used to wearing a tie, Jiang Zao unbuttoned his collar and loosened his bow tie, then bent down and put one hand on the table to check the remaining drawings.

Ying Lili moved to the side uncomfortably because they were too close to each other. Just smelling the inexplicably pleasant scent on him made her brain feel dizzy, not to mention that she could see his collarbone through his unbuttoned collar.

She didn't have any special fetishes, nor was she obsessed with collarbones, but her eyes would involuntarily look over there, as if there was some inexplicable attraction that was always pulling her gaze.

Did he spray some expensive perfume on himself because he became a store manager?

Eriri swallowed imperceptibly, her mind full of random thoughts, and she couldn't concentrate on the comics.

During the time when Jiang Zao was on a business trip, she would occasionally pick up a comic book during class breaks and get up to discuss the latest plot with him. Then, when she saw his empty seat, she would always feel indescribably depressed. Although she could also talk about these topics with Irisuo Shicai and Matsushima Mitsuru, she could never get the same sense of pleasure as when chatting with him.

She didn't need to point out many plots and scenes deliberately. She only needed to mention them briefly and he would remember them immediately, and then discuss the wonderful parts in tacit understanding. He would also quickly recognize the plots that deliberately played on memes and then laugh together.

Ever since she learned in Antarctica that Jiang Zao had a harem, she had consciously distanced herself from him, but she would miss the moments of having a good chat with him again and again. This contradictory thought had always made her torn.

As a pure love party, she definitely doesn't like this kind of harem behavior, so she has to keep her distance from Jiang Zao, but on the other hand, he is indeed a rare like-minded person. Apart from his shortcoming of being a philanderer, he is simply a perfect friend of the opposite sex. They have similar interests, support her work as a book artist, and even create a comfortable atmosphere for her in the new environment.

This feeling of contradiction lasted until the day he returned from a business trip and met her.

That day, Eriri took out a new magazine and read it during the break as usual. She was muttering to herself that the plot of the comic seemed to be entering an important stage when the classroom door was pushed open with a "whoosh". Jiang Zao's voice instantly caught her thoughts and made her look up suddenly.

"Hey, Eriri, is this week's Weekly Shonen Magazine exciting?" He seemed unaware that she was intentionally keeping a distance from him. He walked to the desk with his usual warm smile and tilted his head to see what comic she was reading.

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken to him for a long time, Ying Lili felt her throat was a little dry and her voice was a little off-tune: "It's... It's okay."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's only been a week since we last met. Why is your voice out of tune? Are you excited to see me?"

"Huh? Don't be so conceited, it's just that my mouth is a little dry." She shook her dazzling golden ponytails and spoke in her most tsundere tone.

"Then drink more hot water."

"What a weird way to care..."

"It's just a popular story from my hometown, don't worry about it." Jiang Zao waved his hand, took the comic magazine and turned to the popular comic they often discussed: "It's indeed the plot direction we discussed before, do you want to continue guessing the next plot?"

The frustration and confusion in Ying Lili's heart disappeared, and she chuckled: "Like an idiot..."

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"Nothing." She showed her cute little fangs: "I guarantee that next the War Demon will rip off the Chainsaw Man's head and use it as a grenade!"

"This plot is too cliché, I think..."

Really...why should I be like an idiot and keep a distance from him? We were just normal friends, so we can just get along the same way as before.

Ying Lili did not deny that she had some affection for Jiang Zao. After all, she was not made of stone. After receiving so much help from him, she remained calm. However, this affection alone was not enough for her to take the initiative to join his harem.

She also has her own pride. It is not so easy to conquer the famous Kashiwagi Eri!

Blinking her eyes that were a little sore from being in a daze for so long, Ying Lili found that Jiang Zao's endless explanation had stopped at some point, and he was staring at her with a sideways smile: "You are in a daze during work hours, did you not sleep well last night?"

"No...no." She awkwardly played with the ends of her hair: "I was just thinking about other things."

"Then let's take a break. By the way, would you like Coke or tea?"

"Coffee, with more sugar."

"I understand, Miss. Please wait a moment." Jiang Zao put his right hand on his chest and bowed to perform a butler's salute, but his loose tie and collar made him look more like a black-hearted butler who would play pranks on his master.

Ying Lili felt that she had set her flag too early, what if he used this appearance to win over her.

It seems like it will probably be easy.

Chapter 396: Girls in the Classroom

Eriri: "I have already worked with Sagiri to draw the first two pages of the manga. I will send them to you later."

Jiang Zao: "Okay, how does it feel to work with you for the first time?"

Eriri: "It's OK, but once Sagiri gets into that perverted state, it's hard to get her attention back."

Jiang Zao: "This can be considered one of her characteristics."

Eriri: "You must be very happy to have a beautiful stepsister."

Jiang Zao: "I haven't seen her true appearance yet."

Eriri: "Huh? Really or not, I've seen it all."

Jiang Zao: "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"

Ying Lili: "How pitiful~"

Just as she was chatting happily with Jiang Zao, Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice flew into her ears like a fly: "Sawamura-san, who are you chatting with? Your mouth is almost stretched to your ears."

"What's it to you!" Ying Lili glared at the other person unhappily, then locked the screen and put the phone in her pocket, looking like "I'm not going to tell you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care about her little action at all. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and pretended to be concerned and said, "I am worried about you. After all, you look very easy to be deceived."

In the past, Eriri would definitely jump up and loudly question whether he was treating her like a fool, but now most of her attention was on the new comic and the cooperation. She didn't react much to this provocation and replied calmly: "You were fooled, but I won't be fooled."

The phone in her pocket vibrated twice. It should be Jiang Zao asking her why she hadn't sent the picture yet. But Kasumigaoka Utaha was still standing by. Eriri didn't really want her to know that she was drawing a serious new comic. Otherwise, this sharp-tongued girl would definitely say in a mocking tone, "Teacher Kashiwagi Eri finally couldn't make it anymore and wanted to change her career?"

"Why don't you leave?"

"Isn't it my freedom to stand wherever I want?"

Eriri frowned in displeasure: "Tsk, I mean you're in the way standing here."

The more she behaved like this, the more curious Kasumigaoka Utaha became about who she was chatting with just now. Ever since she took the initiative to keep a distance from Jiang Zao, she rarely showed such a silly smile during class breaks.

Could it be Lun...

As soon as this idea came to her mind, it was extinguished by Kasumigaoka Utaha. She knew that Eriri was as proud as she was, and it was absolutely impossible for her to go back and look for the culprit who had trouble even apologizing to her.

"That's great." She pulled a chair over and sat down with a smile: "I'm happy that Sawamura-san actually acknowledges my beauty."

"Can you please stop being so narcissistic?" Ying Lili was almost sickened by her attitude. It was like a dog-skin plaster that she couldn't get rid of. "Are you going to sit here during class later?"

"Anyway, our seats aren't fixed, so it's not impossible."

"You'd better go to bed."

"I can't sleep if I can't see who Sawamura-san is talking to."

"Then you'll never sleep again in your life."

While Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were battling each other, Huihui leaned back in her chair like a salted fish, sighing for a long time: "Ah~ How boring... Jiang Zao, this liar, said he would be in school most of the time, but now I can't see him for several days!"
