Daily life with elves

However, during lunch break last Friday, she went to the cafeteria with her classmates to have lunch and accidentally saw Shido Itsuka.

Shido Gokawa was eating ramen alone. Eriri didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when Shido Gokawa left the cafeteria, he left behind a piece of white paper. Eriri picked it up curiously and found that it was a painting by Mr. Soji Honjo!

Eriri shouted, but Shido Itsuka seemed to be thinking about something at that time and didn't hear it.

So, Eriri put the painting in her arms, planning to return it to Shido Gokawa when she met him, after all, it was an important painting.

But when she returned home and looked at the painting, she suddenly recognized that the four girls in the painting seemed to be students of Sobu High School, including two senior students and two classmates.

In other words, Mr. Souji Honjo might also be a student of Sobu High School?

With such speculation, Eriri couldn't help but ask Gokawa Shido out, with the hope of meeting Mr. Honjo Souji!

Shido Gokawa naturally did not expect that a casual painting that Nana Sin drew at the beginning would cause Eriri to have such a misunderstanding. This also indirectly proves that Nana Sin's painting skills are already comparable to Honjo Nia.

Then, Eriri seemed to have given him a letter because of this. Although it looked like a love letter, it was not actually a confession of love. She just wanted to ask him out to talk about Honjo Nia.

It’s good that it’s not a confession, Shido Itsuka smiled relaxedly, but suddenly remembered that Eriri was in front of him, so he put away his smile and pretended that he had no misunderstanding.

Shido Itsuka thought about it for a while and decided that there was no problem, but it had to be done at the right time!

Shido Gokawa chuckled. He didn't want other people to have too much private contact with the elves. After all, the elves' situation was rather special. They could only come to this world once every ten days.

If Eriri suddenly wants to find Honjo Nia one day, but Nia is not in this world, it may cause trouble.

Therefore, before the elves can stay in this world for longer and longer, it is better not to let them have too much contact with the people in this world.

"A book signing?"

Eriri nodded thoughtfully. She hadn't heard the news yet, but since Shido Itsuka said it so confidently, he probably wasn't lying to her.

Although the format of the book signing event was not what she expected, she could still accept it!

"So, you're the author of 'Cellphone Man', Shinji Takamiya, right?"

Eriri said affirmatively.

"Okay! That's me."

Shido Gokawa did not deny it. Since the other party guessed that Honjo Nia was related to him, it was natural for him to guess that he was the author of that light novel.

Eriri calmly revealed the secret that Shido Itsuka didn't know.

"is it?"

Itsuka Shido seemed a little surprised.

"Well, I submitted my drawings to the library, hoping to try my hand at becoming a book inserter. The library said they had a new work they wanted me to try out, and that was your 'Cellphone Man'."

Eriri talked about some past events.

"And because I found my own artist, you didn't get the job?"

Itsuka Shido frowned and guessed.

"That's right! Although I don't want to admit it, Mr. Honjo Souji's painting skills are indeed better than mine, so I admit defeat with all my heart."

Eriri nodded dejectedly.

Shido Gokawa wanted to say that no matter how good you are at drawing, he would still choose Honjo Nia.

But because he didn't want to attack the other party again, Shido Itsuka didn't say these words.

Eriri smiled bitterly. You have to know that she was full of confidence at that time. After all, as a famous fan artist, she still had some fame in the circle.

I didn’t expect that when I got to the library, the other party would look down on it!

Itsuka Shido also seemed a little surprised.

"Just call me Eriri."

Eriri smiled and said a little suddenly.

After all, Shido Itsuka seems to often call her name wrong. In that case, it would be easier to communicate by just calling her Eriri.

Moreover, half of her family is from foreign countries, and they don’t attach as much importance to calling names as the locals do.

Shido Itsuka nodded. He might not call other girls like that, but for example, Kasumigaoka Utaha, he always insisted on calling her Kasumigaoka-senpai "donkey".

But he had been familiar with the name Eriri since his previous life, but few people remembered her surname Sawamura.

Everyone calls this character Eriri Eriri, and it has become a habit, so it is difficult for Shido Gokawa to change now.

Anyway, the other party has foreign ancestry and probably doesn't care much about this kind of thing, so just call him by his name.

Eriri nodded with satisfaction, then thought for a moment and asked:

Chapter 151 Eri Kashiwagi

Eriri looked at Shido Itsuka suspiciously. Generally speaking, the drawings made by the art club and the illustrations for light novels are completely different things.

At least, as the ace of the art club, she doesn't necessarily know how to draw light novel illustrations.

But what she didn't know was that Gokawa Shido had not only seen her school paintings, but also Eriri's little notebook.

To be precise, it was a small notebook drawn by Eriri.

It was not until he came to a doujinshi club and saw the familiar artist name "Kashiwagi Eri" and knew that this was Eriri's pen name that he became interested and bought one.

Teacher 'Kashiwagi Eri' is a very good painter, and she made the various expressions of the heroines come alive. Shido Gokawa liked it very much, so he hid it under his bed and didn't let the elves know.

With the drawing skills of teacher 'Kashiwagi Eri', how could it be impossible to draw light novel illustrations?

Shido Itsuka replied casually, then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Eriri seems to be very afraid of people knowing her identity!

The other party just revealed his identity confidently, and for a moment he didn't think there was anything wrong with such behavior.

But now it seems that there is a big problem because he shouldn't know so much.

"You know my identity?"

Eriri stared at Shido Itsuka. Since Shido Itsuka said so, he must know her unknown identity.

Shido Itsuka smiled bitterly. In fact, he didn't know how to explain it!

"It was Tomoya Aki who told you!"

Eriri said with certainty that Tomoya Aki knew her identity, and given Tomoya Aki's bad personality, it was possible that he would reveal this to Shido Gokawa.

"That's right! It was Tomoya Aki who told me all that!"

Shido Gokawa nodded in agreement with the other party's words. In a sense, he was not lying, as it was indeed Tomoya Aki who told him.

But it wasn't the Tomoya Aki of this world, but the Tomoya Aki in the animation of his previous life, so he didn't feel any guilt and could just put the blame on Tomoya Aki.

"I shouldn't have told him so much in the first place!"

Eriri said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret, and I will ask him to keep it a secret too."

Shido Itsuka smiled. He also understood that if the boys knew that she was a drawing notebook, they would inevitably look at her with tinted glasses. So she had no choice but to live a normal campus life like now.

Eriri breathed a sigh of relief. As far as she knew, Tomoya Aki had now become the public enemy of women, and even men didn't want to get close to him. It seemed that his only friend was Shido Gokawa.

So as long as Shido Itsuka doesn't tell anyone else about it, this matter won't spread.

Moreover, Eriri originally wanted to find Honjo Nia. When they discussed the paintings, she would inevitably have to show her own paintings, which would easily expose her.

So when you think about it this way, it’s not a big deal now that Shido Itsuka knows about it.

Shido Itsuka breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Eriri didn't mind, he was still a little curious. Why wouldn't the library accept Eriri as an illustrator?

But Eriri seemed to avoid the topic, and Shido Itsuka didn't ask any further questions.

He didn't ask much, but Eriri had many questions in her mind, all related to Teacher Honjo Souji.

"Itsuka-san, is painter Honjo Souji a student of our school?"

Eriri asked with her eyes shining.

"Why do you think so?"

Itsuka Shido asked back.

"because this!"

Eriri chuckled and took out a simple drawing. Shido Itsuka took a closer look and saw that it was the one Nanashi drew last week.

He frowned, wondering why it disappeared. He thought Nanashi had taken it, but he didn't expect it to be in Eriri's hands.

It seems that Eriri thought that this was drawn by Honjo Nia, and because the people in the painting are all students of Sobu High School, she thought that Honjo Nia was also likely a student of Sobu High School.

"No! She's not a student of this school."

Shido Gokawa denied the other party truthfully. After all, he couldn't lie to the other party. Next week, when Eriri goes to a book signing event, she will know that there is no such person as Honjo Nia in the school.

"real or fake?"

Ying Lili frowned, obviously not quite believing it.

"I don't have any reason to lie to you! This is just what Mr. Honjo Souji drew on a whim when he saw these girls when he picked me up from school last time!"

Itsuka Shido explained with a chuckle.

Eriri nodded thoughtfully, not completely believing what Shido Itsuka said, but this was not the point, so she did not pursue it further.

Instead, he asked her something that she was more interested in!

"You just said 'her', and then you said that Honjo Souji-sensei was here to pick you up from class. Could it be that Honjo Souji-sensei is your girlfriend?"

Eriri asked with her eyes wide open, this also explains why Mr. Honjo Souji became the illustrator of Gokawa Shido, because the two are in a relationship!

To be honest, in Eriri's heart, or in the hearts of most people, the light novel "Mobile Man" written by Shido Gokawa is not worthy of the illustrations of Soji Honjo. Many people even bought the light novel just for the illustrations.

But if the two are in a relationship, they will naturally help each other in this way.

As for the fact that Honjo Souji is younger than expected, Eriri was not too surprised. After all, she also started drawing small comic books in her teens, and she also knew a super painter who was one year younger than her, but whose painting skills have been recognized by the world!

Therefore, some things are not just about experience, talent is equally important. As long as you have talent and keep working hard, it is not impossible to become famous earlier than others.

When Gokawa Shido heard the other party's question, he nodded affirmatively and responded truthfully:

Chapter 152: Encounter outside school

"really?"

Eriri looked at Shido Itsuka with curiosity, wanting to recognize him again.

If she is really Shido Itsuka's girlfriend, then she must be a girl about her age, so she must know her.

After all, all the people she thought liked anime, including Tomoya Aki, were boys, and there had never been a girl who shared the same interest as her.

Since Mr. Honjo Aoji draws illustrations for Shido Gokawa's light novels, he must be interested in anime. It would be great if there was a chance to make friends with him.

Shido Itsuka said a little impatiently that he originally thought that the other party came here to confess his love. If he had known it was such a boring thing, he would not have bothered to waste time coming here!

Eriri chuckled. There were actually many things she wanted to know, but there was no need to make Shido Gokawa unhappy about it.

Anyway, it seems that Shido Itsuka goes to the cafeteria to eat lunch from time to time. Let's talk about it during lunch tomorrow.

"Then I'm leaving."

Shido Itsuka waved his hand, and seeing that Eriri didn't say anything, he quickly left the rooftop.

In fact, they didn't chat for very long, only about half an hour, and many of their classmates hadn't left yet.

But Gokawa Shido didn't pay attention to these classmates. He just came to the school gate, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then called out softly:

"Origami?"

"exist!"

Tobiichi Origami suddenly jumped out. She knew she had been discovered anyway, so there was no need to act.

Moreover, she didn't mind Shido Gokawa knowing that she was following her. After all, it was just a very common thing for her.

However, once they were discovered, there would be no way to recover Gokawa Shido and Hoshimiya Six Stars Palm.

But then I thought about it, it’s not hers anyway, so if it’s gone, it’s gone!

"Did you see what just happened?"

Itsuka Shido asked with a bit of curiosity.

"No."
