Problem Girls Strategy

"Then what are you fantasizing about when you write romance novels? You're not dreaming that a prince charming will marry a scheming woman like you, are you? Old Fatty Xia!"

The identity of the light novel author that Kasumigaoka Utaha had been hiding was finally exposed by Eriri during the quarrel, which allowed her angry brain to regain a bit of rationality, and at the same time she remembered that Jiang Zao was still by her side.

That Sawamura-san would never be able to think of such a vicious word.

Kasumigaoka Utaha forced a smile: "Sawamura-san, can you tell me, Kasumi... who told you this malicious name?"

Seeing that the other party had turned off the fire, Ying Lili gradually regained her sanity. She accidentally exposed the identity that the other party wanted to hide, which made her feel guilty. Her momentum gradually weakened. She hesitated for a long time and finally pointed to the side: "It was Jiang Zao who said..."

"Oh? So it's the scumbag..." Kasumigaoka Utaha stabbed Jiang Zao with a venomous gaze, and asked with a fake smile: "Talking bad about girls behind their backs is a very shameless behavior. I remember someone said the same thing at the beginning. Why is it that this sentence doesn't work when it comes to me? I even gave myself a vicious nickname. Could it be that the desire that has nowhere to vent has controlled my brain like a wild dog in heat?"

Jiang Zao was enjoying his melon, but he never expected that the fire would burn himself and he was even targeted by a black-bellied venomous snake (tongue). He had no ill intention when he said this, but the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously. Just looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction, you can tell that these three words hurt her quite a bit.

"It was indeed my fault for calling you that. I said this without thinking when I was staying up late with Eriri to draw a book. Please allow me to explain. I didn't mean any harm. I was just teasing you that you are older than Eriri and have a plump figure." Jiang Zao openly admitted his mistake: "I am extremely sorry for the mental harm I caused you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha really didn't expect that he would apologize to her so solemnly. Compared with An Sheye, who destroyed her campus life and even forgot about her as a victim, Jiang Zao was simply a world of difference.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's impression of Jiang Zao has improved a lot, but the fact that he is a cheating scumbag has not changed in her mind. At best, his impression has been improved from a scumbag to a scumbag that she likes.

"A simple apology will definitely not make you feel better. Let me..."

"No need!" Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted Jiang Zao directly. His explanation made her feel a little better. At least he didn't really attack her appearance with malicious intent. However, a proper warning was still necessary: ​​"I hope that in the future, when you speak, you can use your brain to think, and not be controlled by your cerebellum."

Jiang Zao already knew her identity, so Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't mind exposing her true nature in front of him. She stared at him with a look of scum: "I don't want you to expose your private parts like a stray dog ​​in heat, venting your energy that has nowhere to go, and then say these three words to other girls."

"Hey! Don't make it sound like I'm similar to Jiang Zao!"

"Sawamura-san, you're still here?"

"This is my room, why can't I be here?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Jiang Zao quickly tried to mediate between them, so as to avoid the quarrel from spreading to him: "You two, stop quarreling. Since Kasumigaoka-san already knows that Eriri is the manga artist, I don't need to hide it. We need to fill in the questions about doujinshi from last time. If you have nothing else to do, you should go back to your bedroom first."

I can't give Scumbag the opportunity to further pursue Sawamura-san at this time.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was still concerned about Eriri. She sat back at the table confidently and said, "I came to the room for this matter. If you want to fill out the questionnaire, take me with you."

Chapter 157 Who says pure love can't be combined with hypnosis?

Eriri was ultimately unable to convince Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the two began to complete the questionnaire under the watchful eye of someone whom she said was accompanying her but was actually monitoring her.

"First question: Is Mr. Zao a literary worker? I feel like the stories you are responsible for are so exciting!"

“Thank you for your support and likes. I am not a literary worker. If I must say, I am a cook.”

Originally, Jiang Zao could fill out the entire questionnaire by himself, but Kasumigaoka Utaha said that she couldn't see the questions in the questionnaire, so Eriri sat with her and asked Jiang Zao questions according to the questions on the questionnaire. After Jiang Zao answered, Kasumigaoka Utaha wrote down the answers in a strange way.

"It's too outrageous to say he's a cook directly." Ying Lili was not satisfied with Jiang Zao's perfunctory answer.

Jiang Zao leaned his hand on the table to support his left cheek out of boredom. Hearing Ying Lili's complaints, he raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure I don't look like a chef?"

Ying Lili was speechless for a moment. She really couldn't say that Jiang Zao didn't look like a chef. There was no doubt that the dishes he cooked were definitely comparable to the level of chefs in most star restaurants.

"Then I shall write it down according to his words?"

"Write it. Try to write it as formally as possible."

"Don't worry, I'm a literary worker, I understand this."

Kasumigaoka Utaha wrote the answer in the answer column of the first question, and her slender hand held the pen tip and slid it across the paper, leaving beautiful handwriting.

"Your handwriting is very beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Scum."

Jiang Zao twitched his lips and frowned. How could he become a scumbag for no apparent reason? "Xiazhiqiu, can you change your name for me?"

"Don't worry, I will still call you Jiang Zao-san, scumbag~" Kasumigaoka Utaha was very happy to see Jiang Zao's frustrated look. While spinning the pen, she urged Eriri: "Sawamura-san, ask your questions quickly."

"Well, the second question is, how did Zao-sensei and Kashiwagi Eri-sensei come to work together? Are they friends in real life?"

"It's probably just a coincidence. As for the reality, I think it's better not to reveal it."

"Third question, Mr. Zao, can you let Ms. Kashiwagi Eri play some lolita characters? Please!"

"I think this question still depends on Eri... Kashiwagi Eri-sensei's opinion. Whether to draw or not is up to her. By the way, Kasumigaoka-san, remember not to use the female 'she' here."

"Oh? Why is this?"

"Hasn't Eriri ever announced the gender of Kashiwagi Eri on her social media accounts?"

"Ah, about this matter." Now that it's brought up, Eriri thought it would be better to explain: "I give all my notebooks to the club to sell. At first, I thought I would announce my gender after I became an adult, but the longer I wait, the harder it becomes to reveal my true gender. I'm also worried that some people will harass me if they find out I'm a woman."

“Indeed…” Kasumigaoka Utaha also thought about hiding her gender at first, but her editor advised her not to do so. If the novel became popular, she would have to hold a book signing event to meet her fans sooner or later. Doing so would be meaningless and might even bring about strange negative effects.

As for worrying about being harassed, her editor was very responsible and did not reveal any of her personal information. But Eriri was different. What she drew was aimed at men, and it was a comic book. The majority of her fans were male. No one could guarantee that there were no people with bad character among them, so she naturally had more concerns in this regard.

"Fourth question, Mr. Zao, will you continue to work with Mr. Kashiwagi Eri in the future?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be working with Mr. Kashiwagi Eri for a long time."

"Fifth question, Mr. Zao, regarding the plot of the next book, have you considered changing the subject matter?"

"Changing the subject matter is something that Kashiwagi Eri and I have considered before, but we haven't made a decision yet."

"Do we really need to change the subject matter? I think this book 'The Fall of the Princess Who Destroyed a Country' can even have a sequel." Eriri still has some feelings for this book of great significance. During this period, the number of publishing houses and game companies that have contacted her through the club has almost doubled compared to before. If possible, she still wants to release a sequel to thank her fans.

Discussing the contents of the book, Jiang Zao finally put down his hand that was supporting his face and perked up. The previous formulaic answers were too boring and he wanted to sleep. "Of course we can make a sequel, but we really can't limit it to themes of humiliation and hypnosis."

"A first-class artist must not only have his own unique style, but also be able to create good works based on different themes. Trying different fields and constantly innovating and challenging yourself can help you improve your skills, right?"

"That's true. Then what about changing the subject of this sequel?"

"No..." Jiang Zao shook his head and smiled brightly: "With the speed of the two of us, it should be more than enough to draw two books before the next winter Comiket, right?"

"That's right, let's do it!" Ying Lili's blood was also ignited. She had never thought about such a thing before. After all, human energy is limited, not to mention that she is still a student, so she has no time to do something that requires a lot of time.

She stood up, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and asked Jiang Zao, "Besides the sequel, what subject do you plan to choose for the other book?"

"How about pure love?"

Eriri has the words "not useful" written all over her face. As the author of books with humiliation themes, she has been influenced by NTR-type plots for many years. In terms of sensory stimulation and practicality, NTR is far better than pure love. When she sees many pure love works now, she feels like reading normal comics and it doesn't stir up any ripples in her heart.

It's so funny, I don't even have any dopamine secretion at all.

"You don't think that pure love can't be trained and hypnotized, do you?"

“!?” Eriri stood in awe: “Tell me more!”

"Mr. Scum, you must be very happy now to be able to chat about lustful and dirty topics in front of two beautiful girls." Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to interrupt the topic. She didn't want to get involved in the awkward atmosphere between the two people.

Jiang Zao said with a straight face: "Madam, I have received professional training and I usually don't laugh."

"That means you don't deny that you are very happy, right?"

“No, I’m very happy!”

Kasumigaoka Utaha was defeated by his shameless behavior. She just wanted to finish the questionnaire and leave. Judging from the way Jiang Zao and Eriri get along, it doesn't seem like there will be any sparks. It's just a waste of her time: "Hurry up and finish the questionnaire. I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"Then why were you standing silently by the door frame while I was eating noodles?"

"Answer the question quickly!"

As the title says, I don't know if it's because the temperature has dropped too fast recently. I was totally unprepared. When I woke up this morning, half of my body was aching. I managed to finish typing these three chapters while twisting my neck. I'll take a day off tomorrow and resume updating as normal the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone understands. You should also keep warm and don't get hurt like me.

Chapter 158: A hypnotic masterpiece of pure love!

After writing the answers for them, Utaha Kasumigaoka left in a hurry. She didn't want to continue wasting time staying in Eriri's room. If they wanted to talk about the book, then they could go ahead and talk about it. She was still hungry.

"Huh~ That scheming woman is finally gone." Ying Lili let out a breath, looking much more relaxed: "I was really worried that she would stay here forever."

"She hasn't had breakfast yet, how could she not leave?"

"By the way..." Ying Lili pinched her chin and looked at Jiang Zao suspiciously: "You don't seem to have any reaction to her identity as a writer?"

"How do you think I should react?"

"Um...shocked, unbelievable, that kind of thing?"

"Is there still a hint of indifference, a hint of ridicule, and a hint of disdain and contempt in your eyes?"

"What kind of strange look is that? Is there really a human being who can make that look?" It was hard for Ying Lili to imagine that one person's eyes could show so many emotions. It probably couldn't be drawn. Perhaps only words could describe it.

"I'm getting off topic. Didn't I tell Kasumigaoka-san a long time ago that she was so interested in love stories? Could she be writing a novel herself?"

Eriri nodded: "It seems to be the case. So... you guessed that she was the author of the novel?"

"I guess so." Jiang Zao couldn't say that he knew everything about everyone the moment they walked into the classroom. That would be too scary. He knocked on the table to bring the topic back to the topic: "Let's talk about the notebook."

Ying Lili held the pen: "Oh, go ahead and I'll take notes."

"Let me think about it. Let's put aside the specific character settings for now and talk about the plot first."

"OK."

Jiang Zao cleared his throat and told the story he had conceived: "One day, the male protagonist woke up on a park bench and a newly installed hypnosis app popped up on his phone. He had been secretly following a girl for a long time and followed her every day. After getting the hypnosis app, he could no longer suppress his inner impulse and called out to the girl on the road she had to take after school."

"Wait!" Ying Lili raised her hand to stop him. Her eyebrows moved up and down with a strange expression on her face: "You call this pure love?"

"Don't be impatient... I've only just begun my story."

"Okay, keep talking."

"I'll go get a glass of water first. I've been answering questions and talking so much that my throat is a little dry."

"I'll go get some drinks, you sit down." Ying Lili held down Jiang Zao who was about to get up, sprinted to the refrigerator at an extremely fast speed to get out a Coke, then ran back and threw it to Jiang Zao: "Hurry up and tell me the plot!"

"Goooooooooo!"

Jiang Zao drank the whole can of Coca-Cola in one breath. It is said that the feeling of the first sip of Coke accounts for 95% of its value, so wouldn't he be able to get the entire value by drinking it in one breath?

I'm such a logic genius!

Although drinking Coke when thirsty seemed a little wrong, neither of them paid attention to these details and continued discussing the book.

"Where was I just now?"

"Get the hypnosis software and call the girl."

"Yes, yes, yes. After the male protagonist called the girl, he took out his phone with a nervous mood and hypnotized her. He was surprised to find that it was successful. Then he took her back to his home. Well, you know the plot after that."

"Understood. After that, we'll go to home plate and PLAY. And then, what? It can't just end like this, right?"

"Of course it's impossible. Once it happens, there will be a second time. The hero asked the girl to come to his house more and more frequently. Then from one day on, the girl did not come to his house as instructed by hypnosis. The hero thought that the hypnosis had failed and was a little worried that he would be arrested. As a result, he waited at home for half a month but no police came to arrest him."

"Another week passed, and the girl came back to my house again. She said that she had come home too late before, and her family asked her to go home after school, so she hadn't come during this period. Then the two of them continued to be intimate, and the story was almost coming to an end here."

"Hmm..." Eriri felt that this story was no different from the usual hypnosis plots, except for a suspenseful plot about a girl disappearing in the middle. The tip of her pen kept tapping on the note paper, and Eriri's golden twin ponytails swayed as she shook her head: "I feel that this story is not very interesting, and pure love is not reflected."

Jiang Zao smiled slightly: "That's why I said it's almost over. The end of the story is the girl's personal memories. She actually knew that the hero had been following her for a long time. Although she was a little scared at the beginning, he never did anything to hurt her, so she got used to him following her secretly."

"One day, she was targeted by gangsters and forcibly dragged into an alley. It was the male protagonist who intervened in time to save her, although he was beaten unconscious by the gangsters."

"The girl later sneaked back to the alley, put the male protagonist on a park bench, took out his phone, downloaded a spoof hypnosis software, and then whispered in his ear: 'If you use this hypnosis software, you can do whatever you want to the girl you like.' The story ends."

"This is a great twist!" Eriri applauded and praised. This story is indeed a pure love story mixed with elements of hypnosis and training. The beginning may make people think it is a cliché hypnosis plot, but the twist at the end is the finishing touch.

The beginning and the end echo each other, explaining why the male protagonist woke up on the bench at the beginning of the story. The hypnotic relationship between the male protagonist and the girl was exchanged, and the male protagonist went from being a hypnotist to being hypnotized. It seems that the girl is being trained by the male protagonist, but in fact, the girl is training the male protagonist to be the way she likes.

Who dares to say that this is not pure love? This is absolutely pure love with 100% sugar content!

The action scenes between the two did not limit Eriri's room to perform. She was also good at drawing training plots. After all, humiliation and training are inseparable. She planned to draw this part a little more exciting so that the reversal at the end of the plot would be more shocking.

Eriri's notebook was filled with notes one after another, and she stopped only when she felt she had recorded all the important points, satisfied.

"Jiang Zao, your story is still as exciting as ever."

"Thank you for the compliment. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. I have to go out with Tianyin to buy ingredients later."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
