Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

"What a wonderful piece of work!" Even though her brother had just played a prank on her, Umaru still wouldn't say that his work wasn't good. If it was good, it was good. As expected of her brother.

"It's definitely a good work, the story is very well written," Shi Yu said. She is a professional story writer and plot writer. Although this book is not the same type as the one she read, the stories have commonalities, and she thinks the plot is very touching.

On the other hand, those who watched "Here and There" gave the same review, but relatively speaking, the story they watched was very lighthearted and easy to relax. It was funny and relaxing, and the art style was also very healing.

"You can take a look at them separately, they're completely different. I'm going upstairs for a bit. Nami-nee, once you're done reading, please put them away on my desk." Gao Yumo smiled as she watched them look at her comics, clearly pleased.

Kaname smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, young master."

She had just been reading "Here and There" and found it very interesting. She wanted to see what the other book was. She wasn't really interested in the hot-blooded comics that the young master had drawn before, but this one was just fine.

Gao Yumo didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have stopped her from reading the other book. He only saw that Sister Nami was in a good mood and was smiling, so she must really like it.

"Sagiri, are you there?" Gao Yumo knocked on Izumi Sagiri's door and called out.

After a while, the door opened, and Sagiri poked her little head out, glanced at her brother, and then immediately shrank back inside.

"You've made progress! You dared to come out now," Gao Yumo praised, even if it was just a little bit.

"Don't make fun of me, brother. What do you want to talk to me about?" Sagiri said softly, but Gao Yumo's ears were very sharp and he heard her.

"It's a club matter," Gao Yumo said. It's definitely not enough to have only Eriri as an artist in the club. It will also take some time for Yuki and Umaru to learn. So who else can we have a ready-made artist?

"But I'm afraid to go out, brother," Sagiri whispered.

Gao Yumo had a plan. She decided to try using someone Sagiri knew first: "Do you know Kashiwagi Eri?"

"I...I don't know him," Sagiri said hesitantly.

"Don't hide it from me. How could I not know what you usually do, Professor Eromanga?" Gao Yumo smiled and exposed her lie.

Sagiri hurriedly poked her head out again, looked outside to make sure no one else was there, and then continued, "Brother, how did you know!"

She was extremely flustered, while Gao Yumo's lips curled up as he said, "Admit it?"

"No, I don't know anyone with that kind of name!" Sagiri denied it vehemently, but it was obviously no use.

Finally, after staring at Gao Yumo with wide eyes, she shut up and said nothing more, unsure of what to say.

"It's okay, I already knew. I just came to tell you that Kashiwagi Eri is at our house. Would you like to meet her?" Gao Yumo suggested, thinking that it would be easier for the two online acquaintances to meet.

"Really? Is Ms. Kashiwagi Eri a girl too?" Sagiri asked curiously, since she had been sitting by the window the whole time and had never seen a boy come to their house.

"Yes, how so?" Gao Yumo nodded and continued to ask.

"Me." Sagiri hesitated for a moment, glanced at her brother, and finally made up her mind. "I can do it!"

"Very good. As long as you want to make changes, you'll be able to go out one day. I look forward to the day when we're making games together in a room." Gao Yumo smiled, a very happy smile. This was a good start. Among the troubled girls he was trying to change, Sagiri's progress was the most obvious.

"Okay, then bring her over. I'll get ready." With that, Sagiri shrank into the room and closed the door.

Gao Yumo smiled and went downstairs to find Ying Lili; she needed her now.

Eriri had already finished reading it. When she looked for her, Eriri was no longer in the living room. After all, she had already seen it before, so she only needed to look at Gao Yumo's new drawing.

"Did you go to the activity room?" Gao Yumo asked Shi Yu. She replied that she actually wanted to go to work, but she also wanted to read the story of the comic. She was quite conflicted, but seeing that Shi Yu hadn't moved, Gao Yumo knew what Shi Yu had chosen.

Knowing the location, Gao Yumo went straight upstairs and found Eriri painting a background image in the activity room on the second floor. The background image didn't actually need to be too exquisite, but Eriri put all her effort into this piece and painted it exquisitely. Gao Yumo didn't make any demands, but Eriri had her own standards. She wouldn't be perfunctory. She really liked this piece and naturally hoped it would be perfect in the end.

So she draws very slowly, but she draws very well! She's truly amazing!

The same goes for the characters; she has to draw different outfits for different characters. The workload of an artist is really huge, which is why Gao Yumo wants to find someone else.

He could draw some supporting characters for Eriri, and Eriri would probably agree, but if he wanted to draw the main character, Eriri would definitely disagree.

"Your sister is Eromanga-sensei?" After Gao Yumo told Eriri, she couldn't believe it at all. After all, Eromanga-sensei on the internet gave her the feeling of a lewd old man, not a girl at all.

"You're like that online too, right?" Gao Yumo teased.

Eriri glared at him immediately. "No way! I'm not a perverted old man online. Even though my fans don't know I'm a high school student, they know I'm a girl!"

Eriri's rebuttal was useless. Her mother helped her sell her doujinshi at comic conventions; she never showed up herself. So, what she thought didn't matter; it depended on what the fans thought.

"Okay, I'll help you." Eriri said softly. She didn't know how to help Gao Yumo call her sister out of her room, but since Gao Yumo had asked her for help, she would help.

"Thank you so much, Eriri." Gao Yumo smiled gently, making Eriri blush again.

"Hmph, it's not for you, I just want to help Eromanga-sensei." Eriri said, trying to hide her shyness by acting all tsundere again.

"Okay." Gao Yumo found her expression amusing; Eriri was so cute!

Chapter 56 Today's Dinner at Gao Yu's House

When the two came out of Sagiri's room, Eriri was expressionless, while Takahata was scratching her head awkwardly. Inside the room, Izumi Sagiri was happily holding her tablet, having enjoyed drawing.

As for who it depicts? Need I say more? It's Eriri, of course.

After they entered Izumi Sagiri's room, Sagiri, wearing a mask, spoke much more normally, probably because not showing her face gave her courage.

She then had Eriri cover her eyes, and you can probably guess what happened next, right? Sagiri started drawing Eriri right away, and every now and then she would lift up her skirt to look and draw her underwear.

Meanwhile, Gao Yumo was also enjoying the interaction between the two.

Midway through, Eriri couldn't stand it anymore and took off her blindfold, but she couldn't bear to say anything to Sagiri. In the end, she endured it, glaring at Takahata Sumi, and then the session ended after Sagiri finished drawing.

"Isn't this just a perverted old man?" Eriri was on the verge of exploding. Gao Yumo felt that if he said the wrong thing, she would explode.

"Yeah, she draws erotic illustrations, that must be it. And she usually draws herself, so of course she drew you when she saw you today." Gao Yumo didn't know how else to explain, so she just made it up.

Eriri's expression actually improved a bit, but her focus was different.

"How do you know she only draws herself? Did you install a security camera in her room?" Eriri immediately seized on the flaw in Gao Yumo's words. She had to explain this, right?

Moreover, the two of them were now at the door of Sagiri's room. Sagiri was eavesdropping by pressing her ear against the door, also thinking about how her brother knew so much about her. She hadn't even noticed it just now.

"My mom told me that she and Sagiri are much closer, and she can freely enter Sagiri's room," Gao Yumo explained, otherwise he would be seen as a pervert. He was telling the truth; it was indeed Gao Yuyangkui who told him, although he already knew it.

"I see." Eriri nodded in agreement, accepting the excuse. If it was what his mother said, then it must be true. The main problem was that she had no way of verifying it, since she had never met Gao Yumo's mother.

“She’ll be back in a few days. You can ask her then if you still don’t believe me,” Gao Yumo continued. As for how he knew Gao Yuyangkui would be back, it was because his new comic had been submitted to his own company, and the previous phone call from the editor had given away the fact that she knew his identity.

There's no way her mother wouldn't know. Even if she doesn't know now, she definitely will in a few days. Gao Yumo doesn't underestimate her mother's abilities at all.

"You said your mother is coming back? Should I make some preparations? And will she be able to accept so many outsiders in your family? Me and Shiyu, and so on?" When Eriri heard this, she panicked a little and forgot her anger. Gao Yumo's mother is the next head of the Gao Yu family, right?

"Don't worry, she'll be overjoyed to see you all. Besides, this isn't just my house, it's our house, and you're no stranger here, Eriri." Gao Yumo smiled at Eriri, and his words made her completely forget her anger from just now, and her mood instantly improved.

However, Gao Yumo's words of comfort did not reassure Yingli much. After all, it was about meeting the parents. Although Gao Yumo often met her mother, this was the first time she had met Gao Yumo's mother.

Now she can only go and tell Shiyu. Although she really doesn't want to, she and Shiyu are in the same boat. It's obvious that she has forgotten about Kato Megumi again, and she's not very familiar with Kuriko.

Gao Yumo didn't remind her about Kato Megumi either; even if she did, she'd probably forget about her soon.

Her worries were completely unnecessary, because Takaha Yuki didn't come back at all, and she had been worried until Friday when he still hadn't returned.

However, they've been at school these past few days, so they probably won't be coming back. They might come back on Saturday or Sunday.

She didn't talk about this with anyone else, only with Shiyu, since Gao Yu's family was Gao Yumo's family, and it wasn't what she was worried about.

Shi Yu, on the other hand, was not worried. Although she had never met Gao Yumo's mother, she had inquired about her and Gao Yumo had also talked to her about her, so she was not worried at all.

So in the end, only Eriri was particularly worried, but worrying was useless and unnecessary. Takayuu Aoi would only be happy to see them and treat them as daughters-in-law. In fact, the more family members there were, the happier Takayuu Aoi would probably be. After all, Takayuu Mo was definitely happy, and she was happy as long as her son was happy. She didn't plan to find a boyfriend or husband. Being single was fine. Takayuu Ri didn't urge her anymore.

On Saturday morning, Gao Yumo got up early to prepare breakfast for the girls. Although they were off today and would definitely sleep in, they still had to eat breakfast, as skipping breakfast was bad for their stomachs.

Once we're done, I'll have Nami call them.

Sakura is a good girl. When Gao Yumo was cooking, Sakura got up early to help. Gao Yumo trusted Sakura quite a bit.

Her upbringing in Gao Yu's family was really good, thousands of times better than her original trajectory.

As for Eriri and Shiyu last night, Gao Yumo told them that he wouldn't care about them on Friday nights; they could stay up as late as they wanted, but it still couldn't be too late.

Gao Yumo knew that even if he didn't remind them, they would definitely stay up late in the evening, since they didn't have school on Saturdays, and if they didn't have school, wouldn't they draw (write) a little more?

Gao Yumo really didn't pay attention to them last night. They're all about to become adults, and it would be annoying to interfere too much. Let them do whatever they want on their days off.

Breakfast was ready quickly. Gao Yumo basically made breakfast whatever came to mind. Today it might be meat buns with porridge, and tomorrow it might be sandwiches with bacon and milk.

Today I tried something new: pancakes, served with cucumber strips, radish strips, lettuce, green onions, and other vegetables.

Meat dishes were also prepared, including shredded pork with garlic sauce, pan-fried bacon, stir-fried shrimp, and so on, totaling five kinds of meat dishes.

In terms of vegetarian dishes, there were both raw and cooked options. I stir-fried five kinds of dishes, including spicy shredded potatoes, tomato and enoki mushrooms, and chives with glass noodles.

Gao Yumo prepared several kinds of sauces, all homemade, including sweet, salty, and spicy ones. He even made a big jar of tomato sauce himself. They just had to choose whichever they preferred. And if they couldn't finish these sauces today, they could eat them later.

When they arrived, he would make them the pancakes on the spot; he could even fry them fresh.

This is my first time making it, I don't know if they'll like it? But it's definitely going to be delicious.

Gao Yumo ate one herself first, and the taste was just right, very delicious.

Sakura kept swallowing her saliva while helping out. It was the first time her brother had made such a big fuss for breakfast; it looked delicious.

"What does Xiaoying want to eat? I'll make one for you too, so you can try the pancakes your brother makes." Gao Yumo said with a smile. He really enjoyed eating all sorts of things, and the pancakes were quite good. He could try other things next time.

The Gao family eats very ordinary food, not the kind of fancy dishes. This is mainly because the Gao family has a tradition of not being extravagant.

Today's breakfast, although plentiful, consisted of home-style dishes—not the typical home-style dishes of their country, but the dishes Gao Yumo ate in his previous life. Gao Yumo had said he couldn't get used to the food of this country, so he tried to change things up. Sometimes he would make Japanese curry, just to be lazy, since curry is easy to make.

"I can do it myself, brother. You don't need to trouble yourself. Everything is prepared anyway, and you can even try making it yourself," Sakura said with a smile.

Gao Yumo thought about it and nodded, "That's true."

Sakura has already started making the dumplings herself, filling them with whatever she likes. Gao Yumo has prepared plenty of vegetables, so there's definitely no problem feeding everyone in the family, and they might not even be able to finish them all this morning.

They could reheat it at noon, but Gao Yumo was going out today, so they'd have to take care of their own lunch. Xiao Ying would definitely cook, but they could still eat what he made, just not freshly cooked. That's why Gao Yumo cooked a little extra.

Chapter 57 This Life is Great

"It's so delicious, brother." Umaru's evaluation of today's breakfast was that it was very delicious.

The others all nodded.

After eating one, Yuki wiped her mouth and said, "Brother, you can make some dishes that you've never made before, so we can try them."

"Of course you can." Gao Yumo nodded with a smile, happy to see the girls enjoying their meal.

Kaname walked over to Takayuki's side and whispered, "I didn't wake them up. You might have to go by yourself."

Gao Yumo had already guessed it; she wondered what time they had worked until last night.

"You guys eat, I'll go upstairs and wake up Yingli and the others," Gao Yumo said before heading upstairs.

Umaru glanced at her brother and whispered, "They still don't stay up late enough. I went to bed at 4 or 5 a.m. yesterday, and now they're all awake."

Yuki glanced at her from the side and said, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Kaguya glanced at Umaru; this girl really needs to change this habit. She should talk to Gao Yumo about it.

Umaru shrank back after Kaguya glanced at her, and stopped talking, lowering her head to eat. Kaguya's expression had improved a lot, but she was still not smiling; there was only a cold feeling. Umaru was still a little scared, just a tiny bit.

Kaguya was concerned about her, but she didn't know it.

Gao Yumo went straight to their room, but there was no response when she knocked. It seemed that Nami had knocked, but since she didn't get permission to enter, she definitely wouldn't go in.

They still slept together, but they didn't sleep in the same room every day. One day they slept in Eriri's room, and the next day they slept in Utaha's room.

He nudged Shi Yu, who was still sleeping, but there was no response. However, Gao Yumo could sense that she had woken up.

With a slight upturn of her lips, Gao Yumo thought, "As the saying goes, you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep." But she wasn't without options.

Shi Yu, who was pretending to be asleep, kept waiting, but there was no reaction. She wanted to open her eyes to see, but she was afraid that Gao Yumo might be right in front of her waiting for her to open her eyes, so she continued to pretend to be asleep and endured it.

She began to sense something was different. Gao Yumo lifted the bottom half of their blanket and started tickling the soles of her feet, trying to make her laugh, which she could still tolerate.

Gao Yumo wasn't just tickling her, he was tickling Ying Lili too. Ying Lili was also pretending to be asleep. How could the two of them be so in sync at a time like this?

While scratching, she admired their delicate feet. It was a pity that they didn't wear socks to bed. Compared to bare feet, Gao Yumo preferred feet in socks.

"How can they be so patient?" Gao Yumo thought to herself. "These two probably both guessed that the other was awake and didn't want to wake up early. Could this be considered a different kind of competition?"

The second method was for Gao Yumo to lean close to Shi Yu's face and kiss her on the cheek. Still not awake?

He kissed her again and again, slowly moving his lips closer to her mouth. Gao Yumo felt that the more he did this, the less likely she would wake up, but he had other methods.

Even Shi Yu was nervous when she was very close to his mouth. Gao Yumo stopped, just a moment away, he stopped.

In Shiyu's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, "You just need to wake up one last time and you'll have it."

Shi Yu thought for a moment, then finally opened her eyes, pretending to have just woken up. Her eyes were blurry, she yawned, stretched, and the blanket slipped off her body, revealing her graceful figure. She was wearing a sheer nightgown that showed off her body completely. She wasn't wearing underwear, just her panties, and spoke in a seductive voice.

"Ah~ Isn't this Mo Jun? Why are you the one waking us up?"
