Daily life with elves

Nanashi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder she was interested in the topic of their comics just now.

"Hmm! Is this little sister planning to draw comics too?"

Eriri asked curiously. She knew that it was not easy to debut as a cartoonist.

She had submitted her work to a comics company before, but it didn't seem to meet the requirements and she didn't even get a reply.

"Yes."

Nanashi nodded, but didn't say much.

Shido Itsuka spoke gently on her behalf, knowing that Nana Sin was still not used to chatting with strangers.

"So that's how it is, he's actually Honjo-sensei's apprentice?!"

Eriri shouted with shining eyes, then sat down next to Nanashi, ordered a delicious meal, and asked again:

"So Mr. Honjo is a manga artist? What works?"

Nanashi stepped back a little nervously. It was true that Honjo Nia was a cartoonist, but her works did not exist in this world!

"Erya's job is a bit special, so it's inconvenient to disclose it."

Shido Itsuka smiled mysteriously. The truth was that he didn't know how to explain it, so he simply said nothing.

"is it?"

Eriri seemed a little disappointed. In fact, she had studied it for a long time and checked a lot of information with people in the fan club, but she couldn't find any anime works with a style similar to Honjo Nia's. It felt like an artist who appeared out of thin air and was too mysterious.

However, when she thought about it carefully, it was not very possible, so when Nanashi mentioned that Honjo Nia was actually a cartoonist, she believed it immediately.

Because cartoonists and illustrators actually have completely different jobs, but the most fundamental thing is the same, which is drawing.

If he changed his name because it was inconvenient to reveal his original pen name for drawing comics, and then helped Gokawa Shido draw illustrations, then the logic makes sense.

Unfortunately, they seemed unwilling to tell her what kind of manga Honjo Nia was drawing.

"Eri is an artist, what does she paint?"

Nanashi asked, seeming a little curious.

Eriri glanced at Shido Itsuka and felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud. Although Shido Itsuka already knew it, Nana Sin looked like just an elementary school student. It would have a bad influence if she told him about the book!

"A self-published short comic."

Itsuka Shido replied softly.

"I don't quite understand it, but it seems pretty impressive!"

Nanashi said with shining eyes.

Eriri lowered her head a little shyly. In fact, she was quite famous in the fan community, but when she stepped out of the fan community and entered the real ACG circle, she was not that famous.

After all, drawing in a small notebook always feels a bit underwhelming.

"Eri, can you teach me how to draw manga?"

Nanashi asked softly, as if she had misunderstood something.

Eriri was a little hesitant. Although she didn't know what level Nanashi was, if she was Honjo Nia's apprentice, she shouldn't be too bad!

But then I thought, Nanashi is so young, she may have just started learning comics, and during the discussion, she might be able to learn some of Honjo Nia's drawing techniques.

"Okay!"

Eriri suddenly changed her mind and nodded affirmatively.

Shido Itsuka opened his mouth. He didn't want to have too much contact with Eriri, but it was very rare that Nanashi was willing to take the initiative to get to know others and ask strangers for advice, and there was no timid expression on her face. If the two could become friends because of this, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Nanashi!

Therefore, Shido Gokawa did not object, but the problem arose. Although there were corresponding equipment for drawing comics, even for discussions, relevant tools needed to be used to draw them so that there would be room for discussion.

So, where should we discuss this?

"¨" Eriri, let's go to Shidou's house!"

Nanashi invited a little suddenly.

"what?"

Shido Itsuka was shocked. He never expected that Nana Sin would actually invite Eriri to his house!

Ying Lili blushed a little. When a girl goes to a boy's house, there always feels a bit of ambiguity. Many plots of small notebooks unfold like this.

Shido Itsuka nodded, this was indeed not a good idea.

"What's wrong with that? Shidou's house has air conditioning!"

Qizui smiled and invited again. She didn't know why she was so active.

Eriri finally nodded and agreed. She was still quite curious about Nana Sin's painting skills.

With Nana Sin around, Eriri is not worried that any real plot will develop.

And, if you're lucky, you might even get to meet Honjo Niya-sensei?!

Chapter 245 Accidental

After returning home, Shido Itsuka looked at Nanashi and Eriri behind him, then sighed.

He recalled that this seemed to be the first time that other girls besides the elves had stepped into his home.

Fortunately, there was nothing special about his house, so even if Eriri came, nothing would be exposed. Otherwise, Shido Gokawa would not have taken her home.

Eriri said lightly, not too surprised. Although the place where Gokawa Shido lived was already a luxurious mansion for ordinary people, but as a rich woman, her home was much bigger than this.

"Ah."

Itsuka Shido nodded slightly.

"Where's Mr. Honjo?"

Eriri tilted her head and asked with concern.

Gokawa Shido responded softly, without specifying whether Honjo Nia was not here now, or did not live here, or what the matter was.

"is it?"

Eriri seemed a little disappointed, but she didn't ask too much. She looked at Nanashi next to her and said with a smile:

"What kind of anime does Nanashi usually like?"

"These .863."

Nanashi quickly came to the small cabinet next to the TV. Inside the cabinet were some novels or comics, all of which were bought by Gokawa Shido and Honjo Nia. When Nanashi was bored, she also liked to read some of the works.

Eriri picked up the work and read it out with a bit of surprise:

"Moeai, girls' comics?"

"Ok!"

Nanashi nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Eriri chuckled and sat down next to the dining table, while Nanashi took out a computer and a drawing board from the room.

As for Shido Itsuka, he poured a glass of water for Eriri. Everyone who came in was a guest, so basic courtesy was still required.

"As expected of Mr. Honjo's apprentice, this painting style truly carries Mr. Honjo's true legacy!"

Eriri exclaimed in admiration, looking at the beautiful girl that Nanashi casually drew, she found her to be quite beautiful and charming, and she really admired her very much.

Especially since Nanashi only looks thirteen or fourteen years old. A little girl like her has such amazing painting skills. Isn't her future limitless?!

"But what subject is better to paint?"

Nanashi was lost in thought.

"If it's a shojo manga, then campus romance is definitely the easiest and most popular one!"

Eriri analyzed that she also often read girls' comics, so she could help think about it.

Shido Itsuka sat aside, not quite understanding what was going on. This was truly beyond his knowledge.

Nanashi nodded affirmatively.

"So it's pretty simple! Just make the heroine pretty, add some interactions with the handsome characters, and some average-looking girls as enemies, and that's pretty much it!"

Eriri whispered her thoughts. In fact, the routines of girls' comics are all similar. Even the routines of most comics are like this. It's just that girls' comics have changed from having many beautiful girls in the past to having many handsome guys. That's all.

After hearing this, Shido Itsuka stopped listening because he really didn't understand much. He said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the room.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally having some time to do things. Shido Gokawa had a lot to do, one of which was to write a novel.

Although he copied what he had read in his previous life, copying still takes time. No matter how fast he tried, he still had to type out the text himself.

Now that we have time, we might as well play a little. We are running out of money just now, so let’s quickly make a new volume!

It was the familiar ringtone again. Shido Gokawa picked up the phone curiously and saw that it was Kenjiro Toki, the editor of the library.

"Editor Toki, what's going on?"

Itsuka Shido asked politely.

Toki Kenjiro said a lot in a deep voice. This was his personal way of doing things. He would get the key points out at once and not waste extra time on meaningless discussions.

After talking for nearly ten minutes, Toki Kenjiro finally stopped and asked a question.

“How many readers will there be?”

Itsuka Shido asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, but to avoid any accidents, the library will limit the number of people coming in, and the book signing event will definitely end before 7pm."

Toki Kenjiro responded calmly.

“Will so many people come?”

Shido Gokawa was somewhat surprised, as he thought his works were not very popular.

Toki Kenjiro explained softly that although he had only drawn some illustrations for Shido Gokawa's light novels under the pen name Honjo Souji, he was extremely popular in the circle and no one knew why.

Therefore, this public appearance has attracted the attention of many people in the industry. I even heard that some giants in the painting world opened it to get in touch with it in person!

Of course, in Toki Kenjiro's view, none of these matters, as long as it can boost the sales of the novel.

Shido Gokawa nodded. Having a lot of people around was not a bad thing for him. Now he no longer minded being a little more high-profile.

The two discussed the details of the autograph session for a while before hanging up the phone. Shido Gokawa began to look forward to the autograph session in a few days.

When Shido Itsuka walked out of the living room, he found that Nana Sin had already started drawing comics, and Eriri was helping her, like an assistant or something.

"Shidou, I'll leave the blackening here to you!"

When Nanashi saw Shido Itsuka coming out of the room, she shouted in surprise and handed him the drawing paper.

Shido Gokawa looked at the comic in his hand with a bit of surprise. It hadn't been long since he decided on anything, but he started drawing so quickly?

Moreover, looking at the storyboards of the comics, it really does look like the real thing. Nanashi and Eriri, this combination seems to be surprisingly workable!

Chapter 246: Meeting of Losers

"Shidou, help me wipe the line at the cross position!"

"Shidou!"

Nanashi was drawing comics with full energy, with a very serious look on her face. Just like Honjo Nia, it seemed that once she entered the comic drawing mode, she felt completely different.

Shido Gokawa and Eriri were standing by as obedient assistants, and Shido Gokawa naturally supported Nanako unconditionally.

Eriri herself also likes the little girl named Nanashi very much, and as an assistant, she has learned a lot of comic techniques, such as storyboard processing techniques, which has benefited her a lot. Naturally, she is willing to help wholeheartedly.

"It's almost time, why don't we go have lunch first!"

Shido Itsuka looked at the clock on the wall and made a suggestion.

He was also very happy that Nanashi had found something she liked and an ideal goal, but he was also worried that she would exhaust herself physically and mentally because of it, so when he saw that the time was almost up, he planned to give her a proper pause.

"It's this time already?"

Nanashi said this with a bit of surprise, as if she was too immersed in the world of comics and didn't notice the flow of time in the real world.

"Well, Eriri must be hungry too!"

Shido Itsuka said with a smile that after working together for a while, he finally got rid of the word "classmate" and just called him by his name, Eriri, which was indeed much smoother.

Eriri said a little vaguely that although she was a little hungry, as an artist, as an artist who always started painting at the last minute, she was used to skipping one or two meals to save some time to paint.
