What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Although she didn't mean that in her words, Fuyuo Kishi always felt that this guy was saying, "If you don't have a maid outfit, how about a sailor uniform? You are just a uniform lover anyway."

Joke, of course not.

"It doesn't matter. Since I hired you, I will of course prepare in advance."

Fuyuo Kishiku grinned and said, "Did you know there's a special cosplay store in Akihabara? I probably guessed you'd say that, so I already ordered two sets of maid costumes there."

"..."

The corners of Aoyama Nanami's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything questioning.

"The other two sets are just transitional. Although I tried to buy the best materials, they are just cosplay tools after all, and they are definitely not as sturdy and comfortable as ordinary clothes."

Fuyuo Kishihisa continued happily, "So I specially asked a specialized store to customize a few sets of maid costumes. I guarantee that the materials and craftsmanship are top-notch, and they will be delivered in about two days."

That’s right, the order for the maid outfit this time was naturally submitted to the Sakurakoji family, and it was specifically requested that Sakurakoji Yusei help with the design and production. After all, the other party has shown a talent in this regard that even his wife, a famous fashion designer, can’t match.

Fuyuo Kishihisa originally planned to place the order using the identity of Akihime Fumpei. After all, people in that circle all did that, and that was how Yukino got her dress before. But thinking that the image of this identity was becoming more and more weird, he finally gave up the decision and simply contacted the person in charge of the Sakurakouji family using the identity and name of Washimiya Shiki.

Because of the experience of accompanying Yukinoshita Yukino to Wagunaria to apply for a maid last time, and because of the experience of knowing Sakurakoji Yusei, it would be perfect to use his identity to do this.

As for why the maid outfit bought by Washimiya Shiki was sent to Fuyuo Kishiku, this is not a difficult problem to solve. At least if you ask Eriri, you will find out that in the setting, 'Fuyuo Kishiku' and 'Washimiya Shiki' know each other.

Previously, it was Fuyu Kishige who helped Washimiya Shiki to fish out Eriri, the 'Kashiwagi Eri'. Now the two good brothers are sharing what they have and what they need with each other, sharing maid outfits, just like a mechanic bringing wrenches and hammers to a football game, which is very reasonable.

Nanami Aoyama sighed, looking unhappy, and her high ponytail drooped down, looking like she had completely accepted her fate.

And Shiina Mashiro had already walked into the house with brisk steps.

"The house has only been roughly cleaned, so there's no need to change your shoes. Just come in."

Fuyuo Kishihisa said hurriedly and looked at Aoyama Nanami again.

This time the girl immediately understood what he meant - it would be her job to clean the house carefully from now on.

However, compared to doing several jobs at the same time, which would not only keep her busy but also occasionally cause some strange problems due to the similarities between the two jobs, it is indeed quite tempting for a miser like her to get so much salary just by cleaning the house and keeping it clean and tidy.

"There are two assistants?" Eriri, who was waiting in the house, was stunned when she saw two girls walking into the house from the entrance.

"Ah, this Miss Shiina is the assistant, and this Nanami is just a maid." Fuyuo Kishihisa hurriedly explained.

"Why is there such a big difference in the way you treat me and Mashiro..." Nanami Aoyama muttered softly, and then she remembered that there was someone else in the room, so she immediately put on her business smile as a waitress and asked Fuyuo Kishihisa, "Excuse me, who is this lady?"

"Pen name or real name?" Fuyuo Kishihisa asked Eriri.

"The real name will do." Eriri replied helplessly.

After all, if you just call her real name, others probably won't associate her with Kashiwagi Eri who can only draw books.

"This is Sawamura Spencer Eriri, my friend." Then Fuyuo Kishihisa introduced her to the other two.

"Sawamura... wait, could it be the famous Ms. Eriri from the art club?" Nanami Aoyama asked in shock.

"It's true that I am famous," Eriri said modestly. "I am just so-so."

However, judging from the way she glanced smugly at Fuyuo Kishikyu, this guy must be shouting with great pride in his heart.

By the way, it seems that Shiina Mashiro did not join the art club for some reason, so now the ace of the art club is Eriri.

Speaking of Shiina Mashiro, Fuyuo Kishihisa suddenly realized that the girl seemed to have said nothing after coming in, so he looked at her.

As a result, he found that Mashiro was looking at him without blinking, which made him feel guilty for a while. Then the girl whispered, "It's okay to just call me by my name."

A small question mark popped up in Fuyuo Kishihisa's head at first, but he soon understood - when he introduced the two people to Eriri just now, Aoyama Nanami used her first name, while Shiina Mashiro used her last name.

Now it seems that the girl seems to have some obsession with being called by her name.

"I understand, really..."

Before Fuyuo Kishiku could shout, Eriri asked, "Is this kid your assistant? I can't tell at all."

Fuyu Kishige suddenly laughed. It seemed that this girl with twin ponytails still remembered what he said before, that other assistants were too poor and he looked down upon them. So now she came to find fault with him directly, and maybe she even wanted to give Mashiro a warning.

In fact, if it were a normal situation, Eriri might actually succeed. After all, those who are similar in age to her don't have as good a drawing skill as her, and those who are better at drawing than her are not as young as her. Now Mashiro's baby face doesn't look that big, which immediately gave this tsundere girl with twin ponytails a lot of confidence.

It’s a pity that Mashiro is an exception.

"If that's the case, you'll find out if you give her a hand," Fuyuo Kishi said to Eriri nonchalantly, "How about a 10-minute speed painting, just comparing the comics?"

"Isn't that too much of a bully?" Eriri looked at Shiina Mashiro, who had a blank expression on her face, and thought that she was nervous, so she pretended to be humble: "How about I give in to her and only draw for eight minutes?"

"No need, just face her head-on!" Dongwei Kishi said solemnly.

"Then I won't be polite." Ying Lili took out a piece of manuscript paper with a relaxed expression.

ten minutes later.

The girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails froze as she looked at the two paintings with completely different levels of completion, her heart breaking.

Nanami Aoyama, who had expected this, covered her eyes and was too embarrassed to watch any further.

Chapter 148

"What? You said she is that Shiina Mashiro?!"

After Fuyu Kishi revealed the answer, Eriri said with a look of surprise on her face.

Apparently even she had heard rumors about the talented art girl Shiina Mashiro.

"Didn't you recognize her?" Fuyuo Kishiu pulled Mashiro over with interest and asked Eriri, "I remember you were a student of Toyonosaki like her, right?"

"Because I've never seen her before..." Eriri said helplessly, "She and I are not in the same class, and she has never been to the art club, so of course I can't know her."

"I've always been in the classroom." Shiina Mashiro added softly.

"Because when Mashiro first transferred here, she didn't have many friends, and I happened to be slow, and there were many boys around who were eyeing Mashiro, so instead of letting Mashiro run to the cafeteria or the canteen alone, it would be safer for her to stay in a crowded classroom."

Aoyama Nanami interrupted to explain, then she sighed: "But later on, Mashiro seemed to get used to staying in the classroom. Even though she was already familiar with the school, she would not leave the classroom. At most, she would just follow behind me."

"Even so, with such a famous person around, didn't Eriri try to meet Mashiro?" Fuyuo Kishihisa seemed to realize something and asked with a smile.

"What's there to see? Aren't they just humans with two eyes and one mouth..."

Eriri stammered and made excuses.

"I see," Fuyuo Kishihisa nodded, his face clear, "So it's because the other party is so famous for being a genius, and she never went to the art club, so the 'art club ace' who has been praised since her debut feels very awkward, and even has an inexplicable sense of crisis, feeling that 'if I take the initiative to meet her, I will lose'?"

"That's not the case..."

The girl turned her face away guiltily, avoiding Fuyuo Kishi's gaze, and spoke weakly.

But because of this, she once again saw the two drawn boards.

Although the two were not competing in oil painting or sketching this time, so it wouldn't matter if they didn't use this tripod drawing board, but perhaps because it was more convenient to draw, Shiina Mashiro still chose this way of painting. At that time, Eriri, who didn't know the other person's identity, naturally chose to fight in the same way with her pride.

Then the huge gap in the painting skills between the two was shown in an extremely straightforward and almost cruel way.

This is because the two of them are competing in comics. Although there are also some elements of quick sketching and drawing, it is obvious that this is actually Eriri's area of ​​advantage. Shiina Mashiro should have practiced more techniques such as oil painting.

But even so, the girl still lost miserably. Even an outsider could see who was stronger between the two. The painting skills that Eriri was proud of were easily ravaged and crushed in front of the other party, like a child who had just learned to paint not long ago.

Even if I wanted to be angry, I couldn't get angry.

"It's really extravagant of you to have such a powerful guy as your assistant."

Even after accepting her own weakness, Eriri did not become invincible. She sighed heavily and looked at Fuyuo Kishihisa with a look that was unclear whether it was envy or worry.

She had also seen Fuyuo Kishihisa painting before. At that time, in Wagunaria, she had just casually pointed out the shortcomings of a certain grid, and he directly re-drew a draft on the spot. The whole process of creation was smooth and there was no sense of obstruction. It was obvious that he had reached a very terrifying level in the field of painting.

Now that I think about it, the way Fuyuo Kishihisa and Shiina Mashiro draw actually have some similarities:

Both of them have amazing concentration and focus that is almost not disturbed by the outside world when painting; they seem to have conceived the composition of the pattern and the ability to imagine the space before putting pen to paper; they have the painting skills to perfectly express their ideas, and when painting, they look as if their whole body is glowing, full of strange charm.

Even Eriri had a feeling that these drawings were completed in about ten minutes. Putting aside her own clumsy hands, the level of completion of Fuyuo Kishige's drawings in Wagunaria was even better in her opinion than what Shiina Mashiro was drawing here now... Could it be that Fuyuo Kishige's drawing skills were actually better than Shiina Mashiro's?

It must be just an illusion.

The girl shook her head and sneered in her heart that she was really scared: Shiina Mashiro is the art genius who is famous all over the world. Although Fuyu Kishige has good skills, he is definitely no match for the legendary figure.

Similarly, although Shiina Mashiro is indeed working for Fuyuo Kishihisa as a comics assistant, it is probably just because she herself is not very interested in comics and was fooled by Fuyuo Kishihisa. She will definitely not be able to do this job for long.

The girl thought so confidently.

"By the way, we saw this on the way here."

At this time, Nanami Aoyama took out a small book from the bag she carried. It was somewhat similar to a paperback book, but the words "Fuyuo Kishihisa" were printed in the author column.

Dongwei Kishiku saw the title of the book on the cover at a glance and nodded.

"Speaking of which, the Maple Leaf Society Snow Group did say that it would be officially launched during the Golden Week. In fact, it was already on sale yesterday. After all, today is the last day of the Golden Week."

“Why didn’t you mention it?” Eriri just realized that “That Snow” was already on sale, and she complained to him in dissatisfaction, “Isn’t it that I can’t get it right away?”

Facing the girl's complaint, Fuyuo Kishi rubbed his chin nonchalantly, and looked at Aoyama Nanami again with slightly sunken and tired eyes: "Have you read this comic?"

"Not yet, but the people at the bookstore seem to recommend it very much." Aoyama Nanami replied: "The name "At Least, Like the Snow" also looks beautiful."

"That's good." Seeing the other party start to remove the plastic film outside the comic, Fuyuo Kishi stood up and said, "I still have some things upstairs to clean up. You two can chat here slowly."

After saying that, he leisurely left the workshop. Then, they didn’t know if it was the girls’ illusion, but they felt that the moment he walked out of the room, his originally leisurely pace suddenly quickened, and the sound of his footsteps quickly disappeared at the stairs.

Immediately, Eriri seemed to remember something, her face changed drastically, and she wanted to stop Aoyama Nanami from opening the comics here: "Wait..."

But Mashiro Shiina, who was very curious about the content of the comics, came forward first and bumped into Nanami Aoyama's elbow, so the latter accidentally dropped the book to the ground.

The hardcover comic fell to the ground and opened up, just in time to find a full page of impactful ♂×♀ close-ups.

Suddenly, Ying Lili and Nanami Aoyama froze in their movements, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Only Shiina Mashiro had an innocent little face, and she tilted her head in confusion.

Chapter 149 About the Title

Because of the discordant content, Nanami Aoyama picked up the comic before Mashiro Shiina realized what was drawn on that page.

"Little Nanami?" Shiina Mashiro was a little confused by Aoyama Nanami's startled look: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," said Aoyama Nanami, veins popping out on his forehead, with a forced smile, "It's just that I may have to have a good chat with that 'Gou Xiu Jin Sama'."

"That comic..."

The girl pointed to the comic in her hand and spoke softly.

Although she didn't finish her words, it was obvious that she wanted to see "That Snow" and was asking Aoyama Nanami for it.

"This... is too early for Mashiro!"

Nanami Aoyama hurriedly stuffed the comics into her bag.

It was visibly that Shiina Mashiro's mood suddenly dropped: "Is that so?"

Nanami Aoyama immediately realized that the girl might be getting stuck in a rut, and felt that what she had just said meant that it was too early for her to get involved in Fuyuo Kishihisa's works given her level.

So I hurriedly tried to remedy the situation.

However, at this time, Eriri, who was a little annoyed, spoke up: "That child is in the same grade as me, right? In that case, it's okay for him to read this kind of comics. It's better to say that you are overprotected, right?"

After all, this person is a real heavyweight. She has been exposed to comics since she was a child (not for all ages). When she was in junior high school, she was already famous in the comic book world as Kashiwagi Eri, and she went for the heavy-mouthed touch△轮□凌○ direction. For her, those scenes in "That Snow" can be regarded as fresh and refreshing pictures for novices.

"This..." Aoyama Nanami hesitated for a moment, as if she was wondering how to address the other person. However, considering that she was a maid, the girl with a strong work ethic immediately made a decision: "Ms. Sawamura, right? Please think carefully about what the R18 mark on this kind of work means."

"It's not R18!"

Eriri didn't know Nanami Aoyama, and didn't know that she was also Toyonosaki's student. She just thought that she was also a comic assistant that Fuyu Kishi had pulled from somewhere. So she didn't care about maintaining her image as a pure and innocent lady in school, and immediately retorted with a red face: "The important parts were well covered through the storyboards, and it was only assigned R15 during the grading!"

"Even if you say so...wait, didn't you buy this comic, Ms. Sawamura?"

Nanami Aoyama was acutely aware of something. She narrowed her eyes and pressed Eriri: "How do you know this comic is R15 instead of R18?"

"Why, why~" Eriri looked away guiltily and took a step back unconsciously: "Actually, I'm also looking for the answer..."

A smile like a wife who caught her husband cheating appeared on Nanami Aoyama's lips.

She looked at Shiina Mashiro and said, "Mashiro, go find Mr. Fuyuo. I have some questions that I want to discuss in depth with Ms. Sawamura."

"Oh."

Mashiro Shiina doesn't quite understand what's going on, the kid just wants to read comics.

But since Nanami Aoyama said so, she obediently left the workshop and went up to the second floor via the stairs next to it.

The first floor of this cottage, which serves as a studio, has obviously been cleaned well. Although it is not spotless, it can be said to be relatively clean and tidy.
