How rude, we are pure love!

She originally didn't care about these things. After all, the reason she painted was for fun. However, after several years of practice in this world and fighting side by side with Qingye, her level had increased even more than before. Now, participating in the GALGAME project organized by a pure novice organization, she couldn't find any excitement at all.

The collision of these two completely opposite emotions made Eriri even more depressed.

*

Half past five in the afternoon.

Multimedia audio-visual classroom.

At this moment, there were already three girls sitting in the classroom.

Playwright and emerging Dengeki Bunko author Kasumi Shiko.

The original artist is Eri Kashiwagi, who is highly acclaimed in the entertainment industry.

Aki Tomoya on the podium was watching this scene and felt inexplicably moved. Next, as long as they could get the heroine to join the team, the four of them would definitely be able to create the most powerful beautiful girl game that would make people's hearts beat!

But... Eriri seems a little strange?

Aki Tomoya frowned as he looked at his childhood friend who was sitting by the window, looking absent-minded as if he was thinking about something. Eriri rarely looked like this before.

Maybe he's thinking about the character design?

After making this judgment, Aki Tomoya moved his eyes, trying to find the heroine, but after looking around the classroom twice, he found the legendary heroine, Kato Megumi, in a corner.

...Huh, great, I'm used to it. I'll definitely let you join the club today, Kato.

"Let me introduce you, Kato. This is our club's art ace, Eriri Sawamura, and the best scriptwriter, Shiyu-senpai... We will work together to make you the most dazzling anime heroine!"

"So come join us, this project belongs to you!"

After briefly organizing his words, Akitomo walked to a nearby location and talked incessantly about the passionate reasons why he had to join and looked forward to a bright future. The other two girls did not interrupt for the time being.

Then, Ms. Kato spoke.

"Ah, well, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Amai-san, but if it's okay, can I refuse?"

It was a voice as light as clouds, but it surprisingly made the whole classroom quiet.

The three of them looked at the girl's face with surprised expressions. They obviously didn't expect that this gentle girl who seemed easy to talk to would give such an answer.

"and many more……"

Aki Tomoya pushed his glasses with the determination to never give up. He had never intended to convince the other party in one go. Whether it was Eriri or senior Shiyu, he had tried every possible way to win them over, and this enthusiasm for the heroine would only be even more intense.

But when he wanted to continue, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly interrupted him.

"As the protagonist of a bishoujo game, the correct option here is to listen to the girls' opinions first, Tomoya-kun."

The literary girl moved gracefully and sat down opposite Kato Megumi.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kato Megumi, observed her for a while, and felt that she was just an ordinary and cute girl.

Suppressing her extra thoughts, she asked curiously, "Schoolmate, can I ask why you refused?"

To be fair, she didn't want him to join. The selfishness of a girl made her want to be alone with the person she liked, and Kato didn't seem to want to join either...

Eriri on the side was also observing the developments here.

She is in a complicated mood now.

If the heroine's position was hers, she would definitely be happy to work hard for this game!

Under their gaze, Kato Megumi revealed a hint of distress like a girl next door.

"There are many reasons, right? For example, I don't want the title of heroine, I want to study hard, etc..."

The girl spoke in a light tone that made people feel very close and yet very distant.

"But the most important reason is because I have other goals, right?"

There was a slight ripple in Ms. Kato's voice, like a quiet cloud welcoming a gentle breeze.

"So I'm really sorry."

Kato Megumi clasped her hands together, apologized sincerely, and left quietly like a ghost.

"Wait! Kato! Today I want to have a serious discussion with you—Huh? Where's the person?"

The three club members looked around blankly.

After Kato Megumi left, the atmosphere in the classroom became a little weird.

Senior Shiyu lazily left the classroom without saying anything more. She had been in a drowsy state all day, half asleep and half asleep.

There were only two people left in the classroom.

Eriri stamped her feet, feeling a little weird. The heroine position that she had been longing for was rejected by another ordinary girl... But it was okay this way, she would give this idiot another chance!

The next moment, the arrogant young lady took a deep breath, walked to the podium, looked at Aki Tomoya, and crossed her arms over her chest:

"Hey, glasses otaku, it looks like your game plan is stillborn."

She said in a joking tone.

"So, I can reluctantly help you. As long as you kneel down and lick my feet and call Eriri-sama three times, I will reluctantly be the heroine of the game. It's a game about beautiful girls who are childhood sweethearts. How do you think?"

"……no."

"Huh?" Eriri's eyes widened.

Aki Tomoya's eyes were extremely bright, and he said in a decisive and unquestionable tone: "The heroine of this project can only be Kato!"

Only this is certain.

"Only that fateful encounter that day, only Kato could give me that volcanic desire to create! Nothing else would work! And Eriri, you've already completed the setting, right? It would be nice to develop it as a side story—"

"Heh, heh heh..."

Eriri's face instantly twisted like a devil, and she gave him a thirty-hit combo of twintail whipping.

"I'm so sorry that she's the side heroine!"

Eriri said this through gritted teeth.

At this time, Aki Tomoya also knew that Eriri was angry, but he would insist on this no matter who he was facing, so he just said in a weaker tone, "Eriri, you..."

"Please don't call me so intimately, Tomoya Aki-kun!"

Ying Lili left the classroom with an indifferent look on her face. The classroom door was closed heavily. Just when the other person couldn't see her, she lowered her head and felt aggrieved in her heart. It was a kind of pain that she worked hard but got nothing in return.

However, contrary to her expectations, she did not feel as lost as she had imagined...

Originally, she was planning to tell Tomoya Aki about what she realized was wrong today and ask him to help her, but now, even if she was threatened by the yellow-haired gym student, she would not reveal a single word to this otaku!

ps: The preparation is almost over, I will start writing tomorrow, and I must update as soon as possible (rolling around

091. Favorability greatly improved! [6K5]

The peaceful sky was dyed with twilight, and the clouds drifted slowly like a flock of sheep. The warm orange color enveloped the campus. Students who had no club activities walked towards the school gate with joy, while students who participated in the club went to the club together with their friends with abundant energy.

The names of the students on duty were written in the lower right corner of the blackboard, with "Qingye" at the very bottom.

The boy skillfully cleaned up the scattered garbage between the tables and chairs. The classmates left one after another, and the classroom became empty. Gradually, only a few students in charge of cleaning were left.

After returning with the empty trash can, Qingye picked up the wet rag and wiped the window. At this time, the discussion of the other two female students on duty caught his attention.

"Have you guys been checking out the anonymous forums lately? I heard someone allegedly saw Eriri-san at a comic convention."

"Don't mistake some cheap blonde girl for Sawamura-san. There's no way she would go to a place like that!"

In fact, not only did she go there, she was also selling notebooks... It seems that Eriri's disguise was not good enough.

After wiping a window, Qingye finished his work, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and logged into the so-called anonymous school forum with interest.

"Sawamura is really cute, like a heroine from a 2D novel. I feel like a dialogue box will pop up when I talk to her."

"The long, straight black flower of Gaoling is the king!"

The forums mostly discussed related topics, and he could occasionally see his English abbreviation. However, the messages sent by the other party were not the ideal "Kiyono-kun is so handsome! I'm obsessed with him!", but rather "I heard that he was a violent delinquent in the past", which made him feel a little weird.

"Does anyone know what Ms. Sawamura usually paints in her private art studio? If there are any paintings that have been lost, I'd be happy to buy them for 10,000 yen each!"

"Maybe it's a two-dimensional painting."

High school students are really perceptive even in insignificant areas.

He vaguely remembered Eriri saying that she would usually do her job at school...which was drawing books. Isn't that bad?

Qingye sat in his seat, thought about it, and sent a message to Eriri, asking her to be careful, as there might really be a pervert sneaking in and following her!

*

Ying Lili walked forward with her head down, a look of indifference on her face as she made up her mind.

The two of them are childhood sweethearts and should have the closest relationship, but Aki Tomoya actually treats her like this!

She knew in her heart that their relationship had become ambiguous ever since that incident in elementary school, but Eriri still held an unusual affection for her childhood sweetheart, like a little girl holding onto an old treasure chest.

It is a hazy and immature feeling, the joy that a once lonely little girl feels when she finds her only playmate, and the youth accumulated from important memories. Maybe it is not passionate, but if there is sunshine, it will thrive and may eventually develop into true love.

The girl also stubbornly believed that she must be special in the other person's heart.

But it doesn't seem to be the case now.

The melancholy evening breeze blew in from the window, ruffling the girl's hair. She reached out her hand to hold her hair.

The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted Eriri's thoughts.

The blonde girl stopped and opened her cell phone. When she saw the sender, she couldn't help but smile.

"Sawamura-kun, what are you doing now?" Kiyono asked.

"Just finished work."

Eriri didn't specifically mention anything about Tomoya Aki.

"I heard the TV fortune teller said today that Pisces has the worst luck. You have to be careful. Don't forget to close the door of your private room, and don't forget anything..."

Qingye's reminder was rather tactful. He didn't want to make Eriri worry too much. After all, anonymous forums were mostly just jokes.

"Eh? You're actually interested in fortune-telling... No, I should say why do you know my zodiac sign? And why did you even go to get a fortune-teller?"

The girl had a strange expression on her face and quickly sent a message.

"That's the excuse a certain young lady who loves to take advantage of the situation likes to use, like blaming it on 'Pisces' bad luck' or something like that..."

His memory at this point could be called the king of test-taking, so it was perfectly normal for him to dig up these little details!

“Hmm, eh…”

This guy knows every detail about me!

Ying Lili's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and her two cute ponytails jumped up and down like living things. The feeling of being kept in mind all the time made her feel a little numb inside.

Her eyebrows raised and she continued to send messages: "What else did the divination say?"

"Some waves have appeared in the river where Pisces lives. This means something has happened around you, causing you to have different emotions and thoughts. Although it may be a bad thing at the moment, you will eventually meet your destined person..."

As a writer who has written several books, Qingye didn't even need to think, and just came up with a piece of all-purpose rhetoric.

——Super accurate!

Eriri held her phone in both hands, her eyes widening. She wanted to ask him where he had seen this fortune-telling. She would definitely study it carefully and ask him about his zodiac sign...

But at this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Eriri put down her phone and subconsciously looked behind her. She was now in the second school building, which was specially used to store miscellaneous items and club activities. She was surrounded by deserted club classrooms and the corridor was empty. The only sound came from the wind band in the distance.

Is it an illusion?

It was as if someone was watching her... No, it wasn't an illusion! Someone was following her! She heard footsteps!

Eriri paused, but since this was a school, she didn't feel scared or anything. She just frowned and quickened her pace.

The sound of footsteps behind her was faint, and when she turned the corner, she suddenly turned around and saw a senior from the art department. She looked hesitant and was holding a few sheets of...manuscript paper?
