If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Is this kind of girl a childish person?

Shiyu looked at Eriri thoughtfully from head to toe. Eriri felt inexplicably cold under her gaze, like a frog being stared at by a snake...

Sawamura Spencer Eriri, the daughter of a British diplomat, comes from a wealthy family. She has naturally beautiful and dazzling blonde hair, delicate cheeks, and a petite figure. She is also very good at drawing. At least Shiyu likes her drawing style. Despite her character flaws, how can such a nearly perfect lady have a childhood sweetheart who wears glasses and is a otaku?

After spending a long time together, Shiyu occasionally heard some things. Eriri's childhood sweetheart is Aki Tomoya.

Wow, what a coincidence.

Shiyu has a very deep impression of Tomoya Aki, the fanatical otaku/fan.

How should I put it? From the perspective of a creator, she undoubtedly appreciates and welcomes devoted fans like Tomoya Aki. This is also natural. It would be a lie to say that she is not happy when her work is treated like that. But putting this aside, from the perspective of having met him several times in real life, Tomoya Aki is undoubtedly a simple otaku who is overly enthusiastic, has low emotional intelligence, and is a little annoying.

The two of them don't look like a good match, right?

After observing Utaha Kasumigaoka, she seemed to have some different feelings for the other party?

What kind of cliché light novel setting is this?

However, none of this mattered. What she really wanted to say was, now it seemed that Ying Lili was involved with Ji Qi again.

Shiyu frowned. This girl, whom she originally thought was the least likely to become a competitor, now seemed to be showing this tendency?

It's just one day.

Isn't this too fast?

Doesn't Eriri have some strange feelings for her childhood sweetheart? Even if they have been dating for a long time and she feels bad for him, if Eriri really dated her childhood sweetheart, she would send her sincere blessings!

Try it out.

Shiyu made up her mind secretly.

When dealing with a little girl like Eriri who won't hide her true emotions, she has great confidence in finding out what she's really thinking!

"Sawamura-kun, thank you for your hard work. If you are bothered by the invitation from your junior, it's okay if you don't want to come out. After all, the original drawing work is the fastest at the moment, and there are two people to share the original drawing work. You don't have to force yourself during the holidays. It's understandable that you want to play with your childhood sweetheart."

The tall black-haired beauty smiled at Sawamura Eriri. Her words showed concern for her, which was impeccable. When she mentioned her real purpose, "childhood sweetheart", she did not emphasize it, as if she just mentioned it casually.

Too obvious.

It’s too obvious, Kasumigaoka Utaha!

Do you think I'll be fooled easily?

Eriri, who is very familiar with Shiyu's personality, did not believe her lies and was very cautious. She thought that Kasumigaoka Shiyu had seen something.

Once Shiyu speaks in this tone, it means that she must have some ulterior motive!

After thinking carefully about what she said, Ying Lili scratched her head in distress. It seemed that there was nothing wrong.

and many more.

Childhood sweetheart?

Ying Lili, who was very sensitive to this word, blushed immediately. Without thinking, she retorted: "Who is childhood sweetheart with that otaku?"

As soon as the words were spoken, under normal circumstances, Eriri should have turned into a steam princess at this time. She might have protested but she was very happy in her heart.

Today I don’t know why.

Being brought up so bluntly by Shiyu, I was also happy, but much less than usual. And, for some reason, I felt a little more irritated and panicked?

Just a little bit really.

As if she was puzzled by her change, Eriri comforted herself that she was just frightened by the horror movie and her emotions were a little abnormal.

Well, that's right.

Hooked.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gorgeous wine-red eyes narrowed.

This reaction...

That's right.

Eriri, who seems like a young lady in a gal movie, should have some special feelings for her childhood sweetheart.

After realizing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression suddenly became much happier.

What happened today might really just be a coincidence.

As for the deeper innermost thoughts of Eriri, Shiyu had not figured it out at that time.

"Sawamura-kun, childhood sweethearts are a rare and beautiful relationship that only happens once in a lifetime. You must seize the opportunity." Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a faint smile on her face and encouraged Eriri without any hesitation.

"It's so noisy. I don't want to have anything to do with that otaku."

Ying Lili blushed proudly, and the faint blush under her glasses formed a strong contrast with the paleness of her face.

Just looking at it gives you a feeling like, 'Ah, this is my tsundere childhood sweetheart.'

However, only Eriri herself knows what she feels inside.

shy.

More irritable.

I dare not look at his face.

Don't want to stay here anymore.

All kinds of emotions emerged in her heart, making Eriri feel very uneasy.

Of course, on the surface, she still looks arrogant. She is very secretive.

Anyway, no one present noticed Ying Lili's true feelings at the moment.

"The Summer Comic Con is coming up soon, and I still have a lot of books to draw, so I'm going home today."

Eriri pulled her large hat tightly until it completely covered her expression, then she spoke directly.

Chapter 271 Disappearing Passion

"Are you going back now?"

Ji Qi looked at Ying Lili who had her hat pulled tightly, and said doubtfully. Wasn't she still scared when I asked her if she was going back? Is there no problem with the time being?

"Ah."

Ying Lili stood up and responded barely perceptibly.

Ji Qi tilted his head and asked the other two girls: "What about you? Are you still shopping?"

"There's one last place we haven't visited yet. After that we'll go home."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped shaking her legs, her voice low and lazy. Normally, boys like to make plans when going out shopping, while girls tend to wander around aimlessly, but it seems to be the other way around for her...

Ji Qi looked at the text message on his phone, stood up as well, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back first too."

There were two girls shopping and Eriri Sawamura was not there, so it would be so inappropriate for him to force himself between them.

Of course he had an idea whether it was a club activity.

In fact, the most important thing is the invitation from Muse and the others that we agreed to last time...

In response to the two's sudden stance, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "Is this the end of the club activities?"

Ji Qi replied seriously: "Yes, that's enough. I have a lot of inspiration in my mind now, and I can't wait to write it down."

After saying goodbye to Shiha and Kato Megumi, Himeshichi left with Eriri who was carrying a backpack.

"Sawamura-san seems a little unhappy?"

Looking at the back of Eriri, whose movements were somewhat rough, Kato Megumi tilted her head and spoke softly.

"Maybe she's shy." In response to Ms. Kato's direct remarks, Kasumigaoka Utaha replied casually without taking it to heart.

Given her understanding of Eriri, how could she be unhappy?

"Hey, is that so?"

Kato Megumi, who had been silent and had no sense of presence since a while ago, smiled faintly and echoed softly.

The two girls had rested enough, so they stood up from the bench and continued to go to the last place mentioned by Shiyu.

Ji Qi's side.

'Who wants to go home with you?'

Although Ying Lili didn't say anything, her expression showed this. Maybe it was because Ji Qi took the initiative to cover for him just now, Ying Lili didn't show off in front of the other two just now, but endured it until now.

'I didn't say I was going home with you!'

Ji Qi conveyed this message with his eyes. As for whether the other party could understand it, it was unknown.

"Then what are you here for?"

Once she separated from Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others, Eriri felt much more at ease.

'Go to a friend's house!'

Two people wearing glasses looked at each other.

"You have a friend? Could it be Ren?"

The four eyes are still facing each other.

'It's someone else.'

Ying Lili, who had been staring at him intently, turned her gaze forward and made a "tsk" sound with her mouth, finally taking the initiative to end their "affectionate eye contact".

Sitting on the escalator in the mall, Ji Qi said, not knowing whether Eriri understood what he meant, "Sawamura, I took the blame for being a stalker for you, don't you have anything to repay me?"

Eriri instantly became alert.

"what do you want?"

Ji Qi, who was just making a joke for fun, felt like teasing Ying Lili when he saw her expression.

"Well...how about saying thank you?"

He pretended to be serious when speaking, but the content and tone were completely different.

"I, I understand. Thank you..."

Unexpectedly, for such a simple sentence, Eriri hesitated for a long time before speaking. If a stranger helped Eriri, she could thank him generously and elegantly, but when it came to an acquaintance, she did the opposite. It must be said that it was quite interesting.

Do they have a secret in common?

"So, what did you gain from tracking for so long today?"

While Ying Lili was lost in thought, Ji Qi spoke again.

Horror movies are scary.

I won’t watch it again next time.

If the most impressive thing is this...

But Eriri would definitely not tell Ji Qi her inner thoughts.

She's not stupid!

"Well, it's okay!"

That's what Ying Lili said.

It would have been fine if the two of them didn't speak, but once they started talking they just chatted awkwardly for a few sentences and then walked out of the mall.

"I'll go this way."

"I'll go this way."

Standing at a crossroads on the streets of Tokyo, Ji Nana and Eriri pointed in completely opposite directions and spoke in unison.

"See you tomorrow." With a lazily waved his hand, without waiting for Eriri to speak, Ji Qi walked towards the tram station.

Tsk, who wants to see you tomorrow?

Without having the chance to speak, Eriri turned around, feeling proud inside.

In fact, she was quite happy inside.

How should I put it? Although in the eyes of others, Eriri is a popular young lady who has many friends and can talk to everyone, she knows best what the real situation is.
