My anime harem is complex

The project handed to Akane Agasaka this time was to adapt the IP into an RPG game. Akane Agasaka's projects have always been famous for being decided by her without any interference from investors.

Although this resulted in a lot less investment, every work that came out is a masterpiece, and the copywriting and art studios that have participated in her projects will also be able to move forward because of her projects.

However...those who are favored by her are undoubtedly excellent creators.

For Ito Lin and Eriri, it was an invitation that could not be refused, but for Mashiro... it was not worth mentioning.

"Sorry, she is from our club..."

Ito Lin put down the plan and made a formal rejection, but before Ito Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Akane Benizaka.

"You can't control her talent." Akane Ayane poured a glass of wine for Ito Lin. "You are also a creator, you should understand her talent. This talent is beyond your control. Under your control, she will only live a mediocre life and will never be able to step onto a higher stage."

Ito Lin took the sake, took a sip and smiled.

"Ms. Hongsaka is right, but... it's not that I'm selfish and won't let you go. I've seen Ms. Hongsaka's works before, and I'm also your fan." Ito Lin paused and smiled, "It's just... after that tragic animation, I rarely see Ms. Hongsaka's name."

"......"

When talking about that tragic incident that was adapted into an animation, Akane Benizaka's cheeks twitched and her knuckles, which were gripping the wine glass with such force, turned white.

"It was not until recent years that Ms. Hongsaka's name was seen again."

"That's right... Ever since those bastards messed up the animation, I haven't handed over the copyright again." Hongzaka Akane raised her head and drank the sake in the cup. "I have experienced the feeling of having my talent wasted, so I will not waste other people's talent."

Ito Lin also drank the wine in his glass, then picked up the bottle and filled up himself and Hongzaka Akane's glass.

"I also think it's a waste of her talent if she stays with me..."

"Then you just hand her over to me!" Hongzaka Akane slammed the table and looked at Ito Lin excitedly, "I will never waste her. I will definitely let her stand on the stage! Let her be known by everyone!"

Facing the enthusiastic expressions of Akane Ayaka and Ito Lin, he remained calm.

"I think it's a waste of her talent for her to stay with me, and you also think it's a waste of her talent for her to stay with me, but... she doesn't think so."

"......"

The wine-red lips pursed, and Akane Hongsaka was speechless for a moment.

"Ms. Hongzaka, how long has it been since you actually read a novel or a comic?"

“Every day I…”

It was not Ito Lin who interrupted her, but Akane Benizaka stopped on her own.

Unlike those producers who only know how to look at data and fail to hear the real voice of readers, Akane Benizaka takes time every day to read novels and comics, and will contact suitable creators if she meets them.

But....really reading a comic?

As a fan fiction author, how long has it been since I really read a comic?

Faced with this question, Akane Benizaka was stunned.

"Not from the perspective of painting techniques or writing techniques, but.....to truly look at a comic from the perspective of an ordinary reader?"

Ito Lin drank the wine in the glass, then poured another glass of wine. While drinking, he looked at Hongzaka Akane calmly. If she took some measures such as tracking, it would be easy to find out Mashiro's identity.

Maybe Mashiro herself doesn't care, but in order not to affect Mashiro, she must give up her suspicion here.

Seeing that Akane Hongsaka didn't say anything, Ito Lin continued.

"Ms. Benizaka, what made you start writing comics?"

Akane Hongsaka knows the answer to Ito Lin's question very well. She herself has also experienced those years...the one who has changed is not someone else but herself.

"Because...love."

"That's right. Miss Hongzaka has written and drawn both novels and comics. I don't need to explain how cruel this industry is. Even if the comics fail, as long as you can support yourself, you are already better than 99% of your peers. But every year, countless people still continue to devote themselves to it because of this love."

"This project proposal is indeed very exciting and tempting. If she were invited to draw a comic for the Universal Chronicle, she might agree. But if it's an RPG game... I'm sorry, I can't do anything. Even the best project can't convince her."

It was for comics before, but I don’t know whether it’s for comics or sex now.

"And..." After drinking the wine in the glass, Ito Lin stood up, "She doesn't need to stand on a higher stage. She is already the leading actress on a stage."

Chapter 168 Ying Lili: If you tell anyone, I will kill you and then commit suicide!

"She doesn't need to stand on a higher stage, she is already the leading actress on a stage."

Leaving a mysterious smile to Akane Ayane, Ito Lin turned and left... It's really exciting to pretend to be cool and then run away.

The only thing that makes Ito Lin a little regretful is that he doesn’t have a pair of reflective glasses on his face, otherwise if he pushes the reflective glasses, it will look like a storyboard in the comics.

To be honest, I guess only Mashiro wouldn't be tempted.

If it were someone else...for example, Eriri, or Ito Lin himself, they would definitely agree immediately.

After closing the door, Ito Lin stretched vigorously. This way, she should not harass Mashiro anymore. After saying goodbye to the drunkard Benisaka Akane, Ito Lin did not go home or go back to Sagiri's house. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and opened the chat interface with Eriri.

There are several missed calls on my phone, most of which are from Eriri... Yesterday at the comic convention, Ito Hayashi asked Eriri for a signed book to give to Misaki.

Ito Lin: [Are you awake? ]

As a cartoonist, especially during holidays, it is very normal to go to bed late and get up late, and it is common to sleep until the afternoon.

Eriri: [Not asleep yet.]

Well...it's normal that you haven't slept yet.

Eriri: [Why are you up so early? Did you have too many parties and had to end them early? That’s why you woke up so early?]

Eriri noticed at the comic convention that day that Ito Hayashi went back with those girls at noon before the convention ended... If it were anyone else, Eriri would just think that they were tired from visiting the convention and she was sending them back.

But as for Ito Lin... Eriri strongly suspected that Ito Lin had gone to a party with them last night, and he didn't answer the phone when Eriri called him to confirm when to give the notebook to Misaki.

He must be at a party and has no time to answer the phone!

Ito Lin: [No, no, I fought till dawn. Eriri, you haven't slept yet. Did you masturbate till dawn? ]

Ying Lili on the other end of the phone twitched her lips.

You're having a party and I have to masturbate alone?

Eriri: [Huh...I found a few handsome guys to have a party with!]

Her fingers tapped the phone screen hard, making a tapping sound. Although she said that,...what made Ying Lili sad was that she had indeed masturbated alone last night.

What's even sadder is that the material for masturbation is still the same as the last material-collecting party, and the person she brought in was Hua Lian, who ate imported cream cake like a puppy.

The worst thing is that she masturbated and climaxed several times.

This kind of thing must never be known to him!

Ito Hayashi: [A gathering party? So you don't mind people knowing that you are Kashiwagi Eri?]

Eriri: [Don't tell anyone! I'll kill you! If you dare to tell anyone, I'll kill you and then commit suicide!]

Ito Hayashi: [Don't make it seem like a suicide for love. It would be terrible if people thought I was a couple with the perverted and humiliating cartoonist Kashiwagi Eri.]

Ito Lin: [Stop talking about this. Where are we meeting? I’ll pick you up at your house? ]

Eriri: [You want to know where my house is and what I'm doing? Do you want to attack me?]

Ito Hayashi: [I thought I was going to attack you with that tablet? If you don't need me to pick you up, just stay here. ]

Then Ito Lin sent Eriri the location of a family restaurant. It was getting late, so they could have lunch there.

Then Ito Lin opened the chat interface with Misaki.

Ito Lin: [I have made an appointment with my friend. She will bring a book signed by Kashiwagi Eri to you later.]

Eriri has been working online all this time. Apart from Ito Hayashi and others, only Eriri's parents know the equation Sawamura Eriri = Kashiwagi Eri.

Eriri was very envious when she saw that Ito Hayashi could chat with fans and let cute fans COS as his poster girl. Although she had secretly met Misaki at the comic convention, Eriri wanted to give the signed book to Misaki personally.

But not as Kashiwagi Eri but as Sawamura Eriri.

After receiving the message from Ito Lin, Misaki replied almost immediately. Ito Lin could imagine Misaki's excitement on the other end of the phone.

Misaki: [! ! ! ! 】

Misaki: [Really!?]

Misaki: [When? Where?]

Ito Lin sent the location of the family restaurant to Misaki, but the agreed time was a little later than the one he had agreed with Eriri.

Arriving at the restaurant early, Ito Lin ordered a bowl of fried pork cutlet rice and a glass of happy water and started eating.

They have been beaten repeatedly almost all night long from last night until now. Sagiri and the others are fine, they ate enough protein and even burped in their sleep. But Ito Lin didn't eat anything the whole night!

slap~

Before Ito Lin finished eating, a green figure sat down opposite Ito Lin.

Looking up, Eriri, wearing the familiar dark green sportswear, was sitting opposite Ito Lin... As expected of a golden-haired loser, he always likes to wear green clothes, the only thing missing is a green hat.

Ito Lin was very familiar with the green sportswear. Eriri wore it at the comic convention and the last party. But today, Eriri did not tie her waist-length blonde hair into two ponytails. Instead, she tied it up at the back of her head and wore a brown beret.

After changing her hairstyle and wearing a hat, Eriri gave Ito Lin a completely different feeling. Before, she had twin ponytails, but today she looked like a wife who was ready to catch someone cheating on her husband.

Even acquaintances wouldn't dare to approach and say hello when seeing Eriri like this.

"You started eating without waiting for me. Are you that hungry?"

Eriri raised her hand to call the waitress and ordered a plate of fried shrimp curry rice before glancing at Ito Lin.

"It's your treat today..." After a pause and a glance, Eriri lowered her voice like a thief and said, "When did you and Misaki agree to meet?"

Ito Lin glanced at his phone.

"There's still half an hour left...Aren't you afraid that she'll recognize you?"

Under the table, Eriri gently kicked Ito Lin with her toes, then showed her two small fangs and threatened fiercely, "How would she know if you don't tell her? I tell you...if you tell her, I...I will really kill you and then commit suicide!"

"Don't worry, but... don't blame me if you let it slip."

"How could I let it slip? Huh... From middle school till now, none of my friends know that I like anime and comics GALGAME. I've never let it slip... Why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes? It's as if you're pitying me for not having any friends!"

"Pfft...you said that yourself." Ito Lin wiped the oil stains from his mouth and asked tentatively, "Come to think of it...since you were a child, no one of your friends knew about your interests."

"Of course not... Well, I guess there was one, but we broke up when we were in elementary school."

Hearing Eriri's answer, Ito Lin raised his eyebrows and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 169: Eriri Wants More Friends

"Oh? Break up?"

Ito Lin asked tentatively.

Although there are many characters from the main anime around me, their trajectories are not exactly the same as in Ito Hayashi's memory. As a main anime character, Ito Hayashi remembers Eriri relatively clearly.

"Nothing...nothing, we just broke up. Why are you asking so many questions? I just don't dare to tell my friends about my interest, okay! Humph..."

After a muffled grunt, Ying Lili took the Coke brought by the waiter and took a big sip as if to vent her anger. Then she lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. When her lunch arrived, she lowered her head to eat.

Not long after the two of them finished their breakfast and lunch, Misaki, who had healthy tan skin that was completely different from Eriri's cold white skin that she didn't often get sun exposure to, appeared at the door of the restaurant. After looking around and seeing Ito Lin's figure, she started jogging.

"Ah, uncle~"

Excited Misaki sat next to Ito Lin, then her eyes fell on Eriri, and Ito Lin introduced the two to each other.

"This is Misaki, the poster girl for Baumkuchen at the comic convention that I told you about before. She's Eriri... I begged Eriri for a long time to get her to give up the autographed copy of Kashiwagi Eri-sensei's book."

After Misaki came, Eriri put down her cell phone, took out a file bag from her backpack and handed it to Misaki with a sly look. Misaki also shrank her body and carefully took the file bag. She put the file bag on her thighs and opened it while looking left and right.

Misaki had only taken out half of it when she saw the heroine covered in burly men on the cover.

"This... Is this Kashiwagi Eri-sensei's unedited debut book!? This this this this this... Can you really give me something this valuable!?"

As a fan of Kashiwagi Eri, Misaki knows very well that if this is sold in the fan group, it can sell for at least 100,000 yen!

"Can you really give me something this valuable?"

Seeing Misaki's shocked and delighted expression, Eriri's lips curled up into a smile.

"I was a fan of Kashiwagi Eri when she first debuted. At that time, Kashiwagi Eri gave me many autographs, for viewing, for preaching, for collection... This one is for preaching, and was originally meant to be given as a gift, so feel free to take it."

"Thank you so much!!!!" If Misaki didn't want to attract other people's attention, she would have bowed to Eriri.

After accepting it, Eriri exchanged contact information with Misaki, but it was not Kashiwagi Eriri's contact information but Sawamura Eriri's contact information.
