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

The girl who often looks at herself in the mirror as a model condescendingly criticizes the manga's rather virginal style.

But gradually, as she spoke, Ying Lili became speechless again.

Just now, because she was attracted by the plot, she didn't pay too much attention to some minor details. But when her attention was withdrawn from the plot, what was presented to the girl was a reality that was difficult for her to accept.

The painting skills at the beginning of the comic "Transformation" were just as she said, not satisfactory in many places, just "acceptable" level, far from being able to match her "Kashiwagi Eri", who is famous in the industry.

But as long as you keep reading, you will find that the author's drawing skills are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye in just eighty pages of comics.

Although the painting skills of the few pages at the end of the story still failed to reach Eriri's own level, the gap from the beginning was quite obvious, and now it is only a fine line away!

"Are you kidding me? Are all the new cartoonists nowadays monsters?"

The girl looked through it again with some surprise. After confirming that she was not mistaken, she couldn't help but begin to doubt her life.

Although there are indeed some works where the painting skills at the beginning and end are vastly different, that only happens in long serials. Only after a long period of accumulation in the form of years will the improvement in painting skills be visible to the naked eye.

Even for Eriri herself, who started learning to draw comics at a young age, it took her nearly ten years to improve her drawing skills to this level. To achieve the level of improvement in drawing skills like in the "Transformation" comics, it would take her at least two or three years.

"First, the author of this comic must have spent several years on it, completing it intermittently, which is why there is such a big gap in the drawing skills before and after..."

Ying Lili comforted herself in her heart.

But when she thought about how "Transformation" was completed in one go and was flawless, and it didn't seem like a plot that had been completed over several years, and how the painting style remained completely consistent in each stage of the comics without any trace of modification, she became uncertain about her guess again.

In the end, the annoyed girl could only throw the tablet away, bury her head in the soft quilt and act like an ostrich.

Suddenly, the communication app on the tablet made a crisp prompt sound, indicating that someone was contacting her.

Only then did Ying Lili impatiently crawl out of the quilt, open the chat software, and then the expression on her face became even more disgusted.

[Yamada Fairy: Kashiwagi-sensei! ]

This guy named Yamada Fairy suddenly got her contact information from somewhere not long ago, hoping that he could help her draw illustrations.

The other party is a light novel writer. Eriri has read his works. They are very typical light novels about another world, full of erotica and borderline stories. It seems that the other party must be a fat otaku.

Naturally, Ying Lili had no interest in this.

As a result, the other party harassed her relentlessly like a stalker, but his tone was quite sincere, and he didn't send any disgusting pictures or texts, which made Ying Lili a little unsure of how to refuse.

So Eriri simply proposed a bet with the other party as a way to politely reject the other party.

This method seemed to be quite effective. At least Eriri had spent most of her spring break relaxing. But today this person showed up again...

This is so troublesome, I might as well just pretend I didn't see it. It's not Line anyway, so it won't show as read or anything. Eriri muttered to herself.

But the other party continued to send new messages.

[Yamada Fairy: I found Mr. Kashiwagi]

Ying Lili's heart paused.

But she quickly tried to comfort herself - she was very particular about protecting her real information. With so many people in Tokyo, how could the other party find her with just a few clues?

But the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger in my heart.

[Yamada Fairy: Sawamura Spencer Eiri]

Eriri felt like she was falling into an icy cave.

Was he targeted? But how was this possible? Why was he exposed? Was the other side of himself that he had hidden with great difficulty about to be completely exposed?

【Yamada Fairy: Kasumigaoka Utaha】

Ying Lili: “?”

[Yamada Fairy: Gotou Kazuri]

Yinglili: "..."

[Yamada Fairy: Usami Mizuki]

[Yamada Fairies: Birds Traveling to Rikka]

[Yamada Fairy: Shiina Mashiro]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Stop talking nonsense there! ]

-----------

Note: The original "Transfiguration" had more than two hundred pages, but after the four-season adaptation, it was reduced to only eighty pages. Otherwise, even with a Heaven's Gate printer, the entire comic could not have been completed overnight.

Chapter 18 This is Youth

Inside Teacher Feng Zhizaki's office.

"Oh no," Yamada Fairy looked at his phone with regret on his face, "My perfect method doesn't work anymore..."

"No, guessing like that won't be recognized anyway, why don't you just put the whole list down?" Si Ji, who was secretly looking at the beauty sitting at the other end of the office, retracted his gaze and couldn't help but complain, but he still asked: "What did teacher Kashiwagi Eri say?"

"It doesn't count as a random guess. You are only allowed to guess once."

The Yamada Fairy, who was searching for the student list, said in distress: "What should I do? I still have many candidate names that I haven't guessed yet..."

Shiki took Yamada Fairy's phone (Fairy: Gua, don't move), and flipped through her conversation with Kashiwagi Eri. As a result, I had the illusion that I was reading the chat records of a dog licking a goddess:

Yamada Fairy was very proactive and enthusiastic, chatting with the other party from time to time, but the other party was quite cold, often saying "I'm busy", "Hehe", "I'm going to take a shower" or simply reading the message without replying.

"She was one of the six names you sent out."

Shiki threw the phone back to Yamada Fairy, who caught it in a panic, then realized what he had said. He couldn't help but hold the phone with both hands, blinking his blue eyes in surprise: "How did you know?"

"That girl named Kashiwagi Eri has a slightly bad personality... Of course, it's also possible that she's annoyed by you... Anyway, she just has a bad temper. You're spamming her like this, so she should just ignore you or just make some sarcastic comments."

Si Ji said calmly, "But the current situation is obviously not right, so you must have guessed it right by accident. She had such a big reaction when she saw her name unexpectedly."

"I-I see..."

Yamada the Fairy swallowed his saliva and nodded in sudden realization. But after a moment of joy, he began to worry about the six names on his phone again: "What should I do now? There is only a one in six chance. If I guess wrong, it will be troublesome."

"What are you worried about?" Si Ji looked at the girl helplessly: "There are still so many days before the end of spring break, can't we just visit them one by one?"

Yamada the Fairy was stunned for a moment, then as if he had thought of something, he immediately revealed a righteous expression and said, "That's right, for the sake of my novel, I must devote myself to it. Even if it takes a long time and I don't have any spare time to do other things, I must do my best to find teacher Kashiwagi Eri!"

"Let me ask you, are you trying to use this as an excuse to postpone the manuscript that was due this month?"

“…That’s not true.” The girl was silent for a moment suspiciously, her eyes wandering, and she looked at the ceiling with cold sweat.

At this time, the teacher walked into the office with the test paper and said happily to the girl sitting in the corner who looked like an ice sculpture.

"Yukinoshita-san, I have sent your entrance exam results to the board of directors. The board has approved the scholarship. Welcome to Toyosaki."

"Thank you." The slightly calm or indifferent attitude of Yukinoshita Yukino cooled down the teacher's original excitement a little.

But after seeing Yukinoshita's gaze, the teacher followed her line of sight and looked to the other side, and found Shiki and Yamada the Fairy who were still having an intimate conversation over there.

"Do you care a lot?" the teacher asked Yukino.

"No." Yukino looked away and said softly.

She vaguely felt that the boy opposite her looked familiar, but there was no such person in her memory. She guessed that he was just a passerby whom she had met somewhere in the past.

"Last year, Washimiya Shiki-san was sick and didn't come to school for a long time. This year, he happens to be a sophomore like you."

The teacher thought she was just saying one thing and thinking another, so she said softly, "Maybe we'll be assigned to the same class. It wouldn't hurt to get to know each other in advance."

"That's not necessary."

Yukinoshita Yukino refused without hesitation.

No matter how you look at him, he is just an ordinary boy who is a bit rustic and inconspicuous. He is dressed very simply and has an ordinary bowl-cut hairstyle that is not well-groomed. Although his face is mostly blocked by his glasses and cannot be seen clearly, I think he should be just average.

In the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino, his existence is like the embodiment of "average" and "passerby", without any elements that can arouse people's interest. On the contrary, the blonde girl in a lolita skirt next to him is sweet and cute, which is incompatible with the passerby-like boy.

For some reason, Yukino suddenly thought of Qiu Ling Wenping - the same blonde hair, but more flamboyant than the Lolita girl. Even though he wore glasses like the boy, his face with strong lines as if carved by a knife and an axe and his aggressive eyes were not concealed at all. Just standing there, he was full of presence, not to mention the aura of dominating the world and choosing anyone to devour.

No matter how much Yukinoshita Yukino disliked that guy Qiu Ling Wenping, she had to admit: people are different.

At this moment, the young man over there seemed to be saying something strange calmly, and the blonde girl next to him was shyly hitting his shoulder with her little fist. Even if you were just watching from a distance, this flirting scene was full of youthful flavor (in fact, it was just that Yamada the Fairy was angry and punched Shiki because he was ridiculed by her).

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt a little irritated.

She didn't like the term "youth". She had subconsciously ignored such things in the past because of her childhood experiences. Now that she had given away her ownership of things to others, she naturally couldn't expect to have the so-called youth again.

"Teacher, can I ask how to start a club or a club in Fengzhizaki?" So she decided to divert her attention.

"A club requires five students to apply for membership and a mentor's signature, while a fraternity only requires three members and does not require a mentor. However, a fraternity does not have a venue or budget for activities."

The teacher answered honestly, "Toyonosaki has a relatively liberal school spirit, and the conditions for creating a club are also very relaxed. What is Yukinoshita interested in? Maybe there is already a related club. There is no need to create one from scratch, you can just join it directly."

"Service Ministry."

"…Eh? Sorry, I think I heard you wrong, could you please continue…"

"Service Ministry."

"Even if this is a classmate introduced by that adult, it's not allowed to do this in school!"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were dead.

Chapter 19 There is still work to be done

In fact, Shiki had noticed Yukinoshita Yukino a long time ago.

But he didn't think he would be exposed.

This confidence naturally comes from his miraculous disguise skills and the various disguise props he bought from the system mall.

This was indeed the case. Although Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to notice him, she did not notice him for long and soon looked away - judging from previous contacts, Shiki did not think that the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family could remain so calm even after recognizing him.

Eavesdropping is not something that is worthy of praise, but because he has bought the 'Perception +1' attribute improvement coupons several times in the mall, Shiki's senses are much more sensitive than those of ordinary people. Even if he doesn't eavesdrop carefully, he can still hear the conversation between Yukinoshita Yukino and the teacher.

So when Shiki heard the girl say that the club she was going to establish would be called the Service Club, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"puff……"

"Wow, it's so dirty! What are you doing?" The victim, Yamada Fairy, covered her face with the student list and complained in a low voice.

"Sorry, something funny just came to mind."

At first, he thought that the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family had given up on herself to the extreme, and planned to give her purity to others before being defiled by him. In this way, even if he suddenly felt like doing something to her, all he would get would be the leftovers of others, which would disgust him.

In fact, Shiki was still a little disdainful of this. After all, strictly speaking, if he really had a relationship with her under his pseudonym, he would be the one who would suffer. If the other party really did such a thing, it would only make him look down on her and the Yukinoshita family even more.

But then Yukinoshita Yukino explained the meaning of the Service Club to the teacher who had also misunderstood the idea - it was not a club with any strange colors, but a very serious club.

"To serve means to serve without asking for compensation. People who have something and give it to those who don't have it out of compassion are called volunteers. Lending a hand to those in need is the activity of this ministry."

The stern look on her face when she said this showed that she was not just talking nonsense, but that she actually had her own thoughts and intended to implement them seriously.

Si Ji summarized it briefly in his mind: in short, it is a club similar to the Yorozuya.

The Japanese are actually people who like to compromise. If you honestly tell them that you want to create a club with no activities but a Yorozuya shop, they will definitely not agree. But if you first scare them with a service club that sounds timid and unconventional, and then say that you just want to open a Yorozuya shop, then they will agree.

After understanding Yukinoshita Yukino's idea, the teacher who stayed behind readily approved her request to create a club and prepared an empty classroom for her. However, he also agreed with Yukinoshita Yukino that if the number of students could not be gathered after a period of time after school started, the Service Club, which was only in trial operation, would be abolished.

Although Washimiya Shiki was curious about why the young lady Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to establish such a club, he had no intention of contacting the other party in his true form.

After confirming with the Yamada Fairy, Shiki felt it was almost time to leave.

In fact, generally speaking, in addition to the normal student roster, the school should also have an address book that records students' contact information and addresses.

However, it doesn't matter if the former is taken out for review. After all, students must come to school, and there is no need to cover up even their names. But the latter involves personal privacy, and the school generally will not show it to students.

So Shiki and Yamada Fairy had to think of other ways to get the contact information of those students.

After saying goodbye to the teacher from Toyonosaki Academy whose attention was completely focused on the transfer student, the two of them walked home under the falling cherry blossoms on the roadside.

"The first one we need to look for..." Yamada Fairy reconfirmed the six names on the phone, planning to look at them one by one in order, "It's Sawamura Spencer Eriri, right?"

"I suggest putting her last."

But Si Ji did not agree with her and gave a direct suggestion.

"Hey, why?"

Fairy Yamada looked at Four Seasons in confusion. The cherry blossom petals that fell at a speed of five centimeters per second stuck to her long golden hair. Combined with her fairy-tale-style Lolita skirt and her unusually pointed ears, the girl looked as dreamy as a cherry blossom fairy.

"Although I didn't go to school well last year due to my personal problems, I have heard about some basic situations in school." Ji Si took off the petals on her head very naturally, and rubbed the girl's hair. The long golden hair felt soft and great to the touch.
