The perverted knight also wants to protect the world

"Haha, spare me, spare me, or I'll finish watching it right now and then perform Bo for you right then and there..."

"Ahhh, shut up and don't say that word!"

Compared to her previous works, Eriri's improvement can no longer be said to be a step up.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic suddenly exploding.

Although Gan can organize various beautiful and exaggerated words that are extremely suitable for the language of this work to praise Eriri's creation, those are all empty.

After all, as a book artist, I am so passionate - this is the best compliment.

“Phew—oh, you really scared me. I was immediately pulled away by you, Eriri.”

"Hehe, of course I was exposed to it since I was a child. You are a newbie who just started learning this, so don't try to surpass me so easily~"

Eriri said proudly with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out.

This is the truth. Kanye took another look at the book that Eriri had completed and had to admit that in terms of painting, Eriri had indeed surpassed him.

At least for now, Kan'ye himself is unable to draw such exquisite works.

As for Eriri herself, she has surpassed Mikiya in painting skills. Although she feels a great sense of accomplishment, she is not enjoying it now.

After a brief moment of joy, she lowered her arms, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she suddenly became shy.

"Hey, Mikiya, is that all you wanted to say?"

"what?"

"I mean, don't you have any other thoughts about my work this time?"

Eriri raised her head and looked at Kanye with hope in her eyes, as if she was longing for something.

Being suddenly stared at by a pair of sapphire eyes like this, even Gan Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

But the next second, he smiled helplessly and looked at Eriri with a look that said "I really can't do anything about you."

He put down the drawing in his hand, stretched out his palm, gently placed it on Yinglili's head, and stroked it gently.

"Well, of course. Congratulations on your great progress, Eriri. You must have worked very hard during this period. Thank you for your hard work. And..."

"Eri is truly amazing."

"Well, that's pretty good." Hearing Kanye's praise, Eriri responded in a low voice, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Working late into the night, starting over again and again, reaching a bottleneck again and again...

At this moment, the cost behind these advances doesn’t matter.

Feeling the warm and reassuring temperature above her head, Ying Lili smiled and closed her eyes.

Chapter 252: Opening of the Celebration

CM.

The full name is Comic Market, which is the largest doujinshi sale in Japan and even in the world, organized by the Comic Market Preparation Committee. It is abbreviated as Comiket (コミケ) or CM.

It is held twice a year, the summer CM in August and the winter CM at the end of the year, each lasting 2-3 days.

As a grand banquet for the entire Neon and even the world's otaku circles, it is naturally impossible for the scene to be deserted.

"Hahahahaha, it's already so early."

"That's for sure. After all, it's CM Xia. Some people have been waiting here since yesterday."

Izumi Kanye pointed to the distance, where people, although they had dark circles under their eyes, were full of energy.

Normally, out of consideration for safety and surrounding residents, CM does not allow night queuing. However, as it is the largest event in the two-dimensional world after all, it still cannot resist the large number of "night queuers". In order to grab the limited peripherals, they stay up late at night to queue here. These people are generally called "澹夜组".

It is said that the reason why booth fees cannot be reduced every year is because they have to spend money to hire security guards to maintain order at night.

"Well, it feels like the queue will be very long."

"Relax, we are the 'first group', so we are one of the early ones."

The starting group refers specifically to a group of people who do not queue up overnight, but take the first bus to arrive at the scene, which is the current identity of Gan Ye and his friends.

This process is not easy either. Every year during the CM, the scene of huge crowds of people rushing to catch the first train is a wonderful sight.

Of course, this is not a problem for Gan Ye.

With physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, he can not only easily move among the crowds, but can even protect his companions from the troubles of crowds.

"Oh, I forgot to say, thank you for protecting me just now, you are so handsome~"

"I will accept your praise without hesitation, Akane." Kanye smiled and looked at Akane Shinjo who was wearing a cute Jetton girl's pain dress beside him, "It is the knight's duty to protect the princess."

"Ahaha, what is that, Kanye-kun, are you a chuunibana?" Shinjo Akane covered her mouth, squinted her eyes and chuckled as she complained.

If it were anyone else, Kanye's remarks, coupled with his already handsome looks, would undoubtedly be a critical hit to the young girl in love.

But as for Akane Shinjo, knowing Mikiya's identity, she just wanted to complain subconsciously.

"Men stay boys until they die. After all, who doesn't want to become the Giant of Light or Kamen Rider one day?" Kanye said with a smile, one hand on his waist.

"Hehe, then I will become a monster or a weirdo who defeats you, Kan'ye-kun." Akane Shinjo raised her hands and made the crayfish scissors gesture to Kan'ye.

"Gu... that's really despicable. If it were you, Akane, then I would just be defeated."

Kan'ya Izumi and Akane Shinjo, two veteran special effects fans, chatted with each other to pass the long waiting time in line.

Is it because they are both tokusatsu fans, or is it because of Akane Shinjo’s cheerful and playful personality?

Anyway, no matter what it was, Gan Ye liked this monster chef girl very much, and they soon became close friends.

After several times of getting along, whether it was a chance encounter at school, being invited to his home to view the figures, or complaining about a certain Trigger Boy together, Gan still didn't quite understand.

Why did he have no impression of such a lovely girl before?

Moreover, she has such a cheerful personality and is no less beautiful than Eriri and the others, so why does she seem so withdrawn at school?

as well as……

"Ah, it's our turn soon, Mikiya-kun, get your tickets ready~"

"Don't worry, I'm always on hand."

Never mind. At least for now, let’s just enjoy the grand celebration of the second dimension.

At the same time, further back in the team——

"It's really unexpected that Sawamura-san would invite me."

Wearing a white sun hat and refreshing summer clothes, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri beside her in surprise.

Although she was originally planning to come out and do some activities after a long absence, she didn't expect to be invited by Eriri first.

"Such nonsense! I'm just afraid that some gloomy girl will stay at home all day to finish her manuscript and get moldy all alone!" Ying Lili crossed her arms and answered in a standard tsundere tone with an unhappy look on her face.

"Thank you so much for your concern, Sawamura-san. Although I was planning to move around a bit, it doesn't really make any sense."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said this casually in a calm tone.

Then, he glanced at the long queue behind him, and then looked near Eriri, but there was no familiar figure.

Before Ying Lili could raise her eyebrows and prepare to argue, he took the lead and continued:

"By the way, I didn't see Knight-kun. Didn't Sawamura-kun ask him to do something?"

"Tsk!"

When Izumi Mikiya was mentioned, Eriri's face became even more unhappy, and she smacked her lips impatiently, "Who cares about him? He left me, his best friend, to pick up girls on his own. It would be better if he was kicked to death by a fox!"

(Tamamo: Polygamy Castration Fist!)

"Pick up girls? Sawamura-san, do you mind telling me in detail?" Hearing Eriri's unhappy complaints, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly became sharp.

His nonchalant attitude disappeared immediately, and he glanced at Eriri, who didn't know why she was upset, and while sighing in his heart, he asked with great concern.

"Tsk, forget it. It doesn't hurt to talk to you. I'm telling you, that guy Gan Ye..."

Speaking of her troubles, Eriri temporarily put aside the fact that they were enemies and started to complain to Kasumigaoka.

She repeated to Kasumigaoka Utaha everything that Kanye had said to her that day.

Then, when the line was about to reach theirs, it finally stopped.

"Phew--that's it anyway."

Ying Lili let out a long sigh, took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, unscrewed the cap and moistened her dry throat.

And Kasumigaoka Utaha folded her arms and tapped her elbows with her fingers, organizing the various information that Eriri had just said.

I put aside the complaints and exaggerations of a certain otaku, sorted out my thoughts, and understood the general picture of the incident.

Then, he sighed deeply—

"Sawamura-kun, you... I thought I had lowered my standards as much as possible, but I still overestimated you?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to pick a fight on purpose?"

"Nothing, just sighing."

Kasumigaoka looked at Eriri with complicated eyes.

No matter what, it's impossible for a person to be this slow, even if it's Sawamura-san.

So, what is the reason that makes you unwilling to recognize your own feelings?

Face yourself honestly, otherwise I won’t be kind to you forever.

Chapter 253: The Kind Warrior (Convinced

"Ahahaha, even though I've participated in this several times, I'm still a little scared when I see this scene~"

Akane Shinjo and Kan'ya Izumi took a photo in front of a doujinshi stall and complained like this.

Around them was an endless sea of ​​people.

Excitement, anticipation, anxiety...all kinds of similar emotions made the atmosphere of the entire venue hot.

Although the air conditioning in the entire venue has been turned to the maximum, people can still feel the midsummer heat.

"This is CM." Gan Ye stared at the people queuing in front of him and exclaimed.

In fact, it has been reflected in many anime. Although Japanese CM is the world's largest otaku festival, it is not an easy task.

Especially for those who wanted to purchase doujinshi and related products during the initial peak, it was a difficult battle.

You have to rush to the stall you like as quickly as possible, and then go to another stall immediately after purchasing.

Especially for those limited edition peripherals and doujinshi, if you go too late, they will basically be sold out.

"But it's really surprising that you, Xiao Qian, would be so eager to line up. Did you see something you liked?"

Gan Ye turned his head and looked at the crowd of people in front of him.

Basically, the stalls were blocked tightly, and if you didn't investigate in advance, it would not be easy to know what was being sold inside.

Fortunately, there are not that many people queuing compared to other places.

Kaneya guessed that he was not some popular painter or something like that.

"Hehe, of course, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you, Gan Yejun, to catch the first bus so early in the morning."

Shinjo Akane covered her mouth and chuckled, and while looking at Mikiya, her eyes occasionally drifted towards the team in front.

As long as the team moves forward a little bit, the people inside can't wait to follow.

In Kan'aya's estimation, Akane Shinjo, who is a die-hard tokusatsu fan, would not be too interested in these doujinshi.

It was unexpected that he could show such enthusiasm.

"Indeed, if you want to take it easy on CM, it's better to come in the afternoon."

But it is only relative. In fact, no matter what time it is, the crowd around is always very dense.

At this time, it was almost the turn of Kan'e and the other two.

Gan Ye looked towards the stall. It was an unfamiliar stall. The stall owner was sitting in front of the stall, wearing... Huh?

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gan Ye raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for your support. This is a limited-edition gift for the venue. Please keep it!"
