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

"Oh……"

Shiki raised his eyebrows, stretched out his tone, and wanted to continue to say something with a meaningful expression, but was stepped on by Eriri who looked unfriendly at the side: "Don't tease her, this child is already pitiful enough."

She knew that Si Ji was basically a good person, but he always had some inexplicable bad tastes. It was not like he was a black-bellied person. After all, in most cases he could be considered a decent person, but sometimes he would have evil thoughts in his heart.

Not to mention that Shiki's spell was interrupted, Izumi Masamune on the other side showed a touched look. He didn't expect that his sister would defend him so much.

"Yamada Fairy Teacher is not available to see guests at the moment." Since the fun was over, Shiki had to get down to business: "If you want to see her, you have to wait until the second show of "Happy Feather" is over."

"Ah!" Izumi Masamune looked at Shiki as if he remembered something. With the double buff of his original form and Clark's glasses, it was really hard to leave an impression on people unless he lifted his bangs. So until this moment, Izumi Masamune remembered that he had met Shiki not long after the opening of the Toyotsu Festival: "You are the one who asked us to go to the auditorium to watch the performance!"

Shiki gave a gentle smile and said.

"Hehehe, it's too late to remember now!"

"…Why are you suddenly saying lines like those of a random soldier?" Eriri complained.

"In addition, if you just want to ask Fairy Yamada why she changed the painter, even if she didn't say it, I roughly know the reason." Shiki ignored the golden-haired loser's complaints and continued.

"If you say something like 'It's just not drawn enough' as ​​an excuse, then the image of the fairy will be completely ruined."

Eriri said.

Shiki was silent for a moment, then said to Izumi Masamune and the others as if nothing had happened: "Why don't we talk about the script of "Happy Feather"..."

"You were really going to say that just now!"

"Just a joke."

Si Ji spread his hands and then his expression became a little more serious. "The main reason is probably that she didn't see any improvement in her work during that period, and even her own state fell to the bottom, causing anxiety. So she looked for an artist who could further express her desires, so as to stimulate inspiration in disguise."

Shiki looked at Izumi Masamune who seemed to be deep in thought, and Eromanga-sensei who was silent across the tablet, and continued, "Although there are mixed opinions online about the change of illustrators for the latest volume of Dark Fairy, that is only because past habits have not been corrected. As people in the industry, I believe you can clearly understand whether the quality of her work has improved or declined after the change of illustrators, right?"

Chapter 3 %

Many times, the more realistic the words are, the more cruel they are.

When the fact that one's skills are inferior to others is laid out in plain sight, even if one uses the panacea of ​​"different painting styles" or other popular sayings in the painting circle to cover it up, it will only make the words of rebuttal even more pale.

"There's no need to go to such lengths..."

Even as the current illustrator who collaborates with Yamada Fairy, Eriri feels that the other party is a bit pitiful: "In fact, the original illustrations also have advantages, such as the cute style... I, I quite like it."

"That's right, and the opponent is Kashiwagi Eri, so it's hard to win if we just compare the quality!"

Izumi Masamune also said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

But Eriri showed a bad look - what he said was the biggest blow to an artist.

"...As expected, I can't compare to that person." The frustrated voice of Eromanga teacher came from the tablet. Even though he couldn't see the image, Shiki could imagine a little girl lying sadly on the bed and dropping little pearls.

“No, that’s not the case!” Izumi Masamune realized that he was just saying her illustrations were of poor quality and quickly tried to save the situation: “I like your drawings the most! Even if you can’t continue to be Yamada Fairy Teacher’s partner, it doesn’t matter. You will definitely have better choices in the future!”

"Actually, I have some news about this."

It was only at this time that Shiki spoke leisurely. With Eriri's piercing gaze that said, "Don't say weird things again," he said, "From what I know, Yamada Yoshiki-sensei seems to be preparing a new light novel, and it's a pure love novel about youth romance."

"The Yamada fairy teacher who has the disease of 'I will die if I don't write about harem and prostitution'... is actually planning to write pure love?!"

Izumi Masamune looked shocked, as if he had heard that Jay Chou no longer sings but goes to take V-videos under the pseudonym Tony Oki.

"Is the world going to be destroyed tomorrow..." Sensei Eromanga muttered on the other side of the tablet.

Si Ji really wanted to say that you have a deep misunderstanding of the fairy, but when he recalled the greasy remarks made by the fairy when he first met her, it seemed that it was not a misunderstanding.

It's just that she has been more restrained recently, and she does have a feminine side, so that's probably why there's a difference in perception.

"Anyway," he changed the subject forcefully, "Eromanga-sensei can use this as an opportunity to prepare... Having said that, as you know, it's best not to have too many expectations for the pure love of fairies. It's better to work towards the direction of Tuser."

"Although it's not nice for me to say this as a light novel author who also writes about erotica in another world, does the industry nowadays really like erotic things?"

As the real body of Eromanga Sensei and Izumi Sagiri's brother, Izumi Masamune inevitably felt a sense of responsibility and criticized loudly: "Is there no room for true art to survive?"

Eriri looked at him unkindly. After all, this guy's remarks were equivalent to killing all doujinshi artists at once.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since the birth of 'art', it has been entangled with the Sese you mentioned. Even art textbooks have paintings like "The Birth of Venus". It and the illustrations of Sese in the current light novels both depict the beauty of the female body. In fact, there is no essential difference."

Si Ji talked freely: "If I must say, the difference between artists in the past and modern illustrators is that the classical painters in the past painted things that could not be exhibited privately in order to publish things that could be exhibited publicly, while the current two-dimensional illustrators publish things that can be broadcast publicly in order to paint things that cannot be broadcast privately."

"You are really too biased, aren't you?"

Izumi Masamune recalled some of the paintings his sister had drawn privately, and felt that they certainly could not be broadcast, but he still couldn't help but say it stubbornly.

"Of course, that's not entirely true," Shiki made an introduction gesture to Eriri beside him, "This Sawamura-san is the ace of the Toyonosaki Art Club. At least 30% of her private drawings can be broadcast!"

Izumi Masamune immediately showed great respect for the girl with the golden twin tails.

"You, you, what are you talking about!" Ying Lili immediately got furious.

"Sorry, I made a mistake." Si Ji apologized seriously: "I added an extra zero. The broadcast rate should be 3%."

After all, it takes a long time to create an oil painting, and with the help of drawing software in modern times, comics can be drawn much faster than in the days when people used manuscript paper, so in fact the number of works by "Kashiwagi Eri" that have survived far exceeds the number of works signed by Sawamura Spencer Eriri.

Considering that a doujinshi actually has a very large number of pages, even if a page with more than four frames is considered as a work, the total amount of Eri Kashiwagi's works is overwhelming.

All I can say is that the four seasons estimates are rigorous, very rigorous.

But Eriri didn't care about the data. She was so angry that she grabbed Si Ji's neck, as if she wanted to die together with Si Ji.

It's a pity that Siji's physique is no longer the same as that of ordinary people. Even if she hangs herself on Siji's neck like a weight, she can't make him feel unable to breathe.

After all, Shiki is not black, so he won’t be attacked by white people (although Eriri is not a pure white person either).

After a meaningless commotion, Eriri quickly calmed down, because this was still Toyosaki, and she might run into teachers or classmates passing by at any time. In order to prevent the image of a good little girl that she usually displayed from collapsing, she could only try her best to restrain her desire to knock down Shiki - of course, Shiki felt that the main reason the other party let her go was that the security guard seemed to be moving towards this side after hearing the commotion.

In order to avoid being spotted by security guards, everyone moved together in perfect harmony.

In the end, the Izumi siblings did not make any special remarks. They just exchanged contact information with Shiki and then said goodbye. Shiki saw that Izumi Masamune was very interested and thought that he would probably stay at the Toyotsu Festival venue for a while.

Four Seasons is very happy that someone can enjoy the events they organize.

Seeing that the time was almost up, even though a little time was wasted at the end, the work of patrolling the campus was basically completed. So Shiki said goodbye to Eriri, who had once again refused to make a guest appearance, and immediately rushed back to the Service Club, preparing to go backstage at the auditorium with Yamada Fairy to prepare for the second performance of "Happy Feather".

Chapter 226: The Show Begins

"Did you find anything wrong with the script?"

Shiki asked the fairy on the way from the service club to the backstage.

The latter shook his head in confusion: "No... After all, the script is the result of my repeated polishing, so it's not that easy to find something unreasonable in it."

"It's been tempered by thousands of hammers..."

Although it is indeed the result of hard work, if it is really the result of countless trials and tribulations, I still hope you can remember the lines well. Si Ji Xin said.

"If you can't remember, then it must not be something important. I saw Minister Furukawa and the others perform before and there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, just focus on the performance for now."

Behind the stage, Siji and the others didn't have much time to prepare themselves mentally. Not long after they arrived, the announcements were already being made outside.

"I felt like I was mentally prepared just now, but when I was about to go on stage, I couldn't help but feel nervous."

The Yamada fairy took a deep breath. Although she was smiling, her expression was much stiffer than her usual self-centered look.

Si Ji knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it would be useless. After all, she was really going to go on stage, while he only needed to say the narration on the side. The pressure he would face was not on the same level - although Si Ji felt that he would not feel anything even if he really went on stage, after all, he had already endured so much pressure. In comparison, this kind of stage play, which would not be a big problem even if he messed up, could not bring him any real pressure at all.

"After the Fengyin Festival is over, let's find a chance to go to the beach." He rubbed the girl's head and said softly.

"really?"

Yamada Fairy's eyes suddenly lit up, and the frozen fake smile on her face disappeared, turning into a more natural and happy smile.

"After all, it's almost summer, and you've been staying at home since you moved into Washimiya Dormitory," Shiki nodded and answered with certainty, "It's not a good idea to stay at home all the time. You still have to go out and relax occasionally. For a light novel writer, that's what we call 'collecting materials,' right?"

"That's right!"

The girl's mood was visibly high. She patted her cheeks and said confidently, "We'll solve this problem right away. We won't let it become a lingering regret during our trip!"

After saying that, the fairy walked onto the stage with high morale. Behind the curtain, he took another deep breath, and his happy expression calmed down again.

The curtain opened, and a beam of light from above shone directly on the girl.

The bright lights suddenly focused everyone's attention on the girl. They were attracted by her long golden hair and her already delicate and beautiful face.

Even without any particularly elaborate makeup, the audience couldn't help but sigh that the heroine was as cute and beautiful as a doll.

"[Ah, my life is so sad and boring...]"

Although "affected" is generally a derogatory term, on stage, actors are often required to behave more exaggeratedly than normal. Only in this way can the tension of the characters in the drama be better expressed, and even further create an atmosphere that stretches the upper limit of dramatic expression.

You could call her a chuunibyou or say she has a strong desire to show off, but in her daily life Yamada Fairy is just a subtle and somewhat affected person. However, compared to those players who are so deliberate that they cause embarrassment to others, she controls the line between daily and non-daily life just right. People don't think she is a person with a problem in her brain, but just think that she has a lot of personality.

And at this moment on the stage, the girl brought this characteristic of hers to the extreme.

It was as if the person on the stage was no longer the Yamada fairy who loved to enjoy life, but someone who was really bored with her boring daily life and even wanted to find relief. The audience below the stage and even Shiki who was standing behind the curtain next to her were moved by her every move.

I don't know if it was the motivation from the four seasons before the show started, but if I must say something, Yamada Fairy at this moment is like a natural actor. Although she is not in the same style as Furukawa Nagisa, her performance on stage is indeed equally excellent.

Some of the lines were obviously improvised, but not only were there no jams at all, they were actually more in line with the role she was playing than the original lines. They were more fluent and appropriate, which made Si Ji unable to help but want to applaud.

Faced with such an outstanding performance from her, Si Ji certainly couldn't hold her back.

Since the lines in the script could no longer keep up with her impromptu performance, she might as well abandon the script. The plot development was already clear anyway, and she just had to try to fit the fairy's performance as closely as possible to make her role more outstanding.

In order not to steal the limelight from the fairy, Si Ji even forced himself to temporarily give up his level 10 writing ability, and threw behind all those lines that could be chewed over and over again and even used to apply for world heritage status, and temporarily suppressed his level to around level 8, in order to match the fairy's more plain but interesting lines. This way it would not appear abrupt, but would become more interesting, and there would be no situation where he could not connect with the plot.

For most of the audience, this was probably an unprecedented experience - after all, most of them had never seen a stage play, and the freshness and excellent performance, coupled with the excellent script arrangement, made them all intoxicated by it for a moment, and they shared the joys and sorrows with the people on the stage.

Finally, the story is coming to an end.

However, the fairy, who had been performing very naturally, began to become awkward in her performance for some reason.

Rather, she seemed to be beginning to hesitate.

Could it be that the motivational buff I gave her was almost reaching its limit?

After all, a formal performance is different from rehearsing lines in private. During the performance, you have to consider body movements, and even the emphasis of words needs to be considered. Unlike Shiki who can barely cope with it with her acting skills, Yamada Yaojing relies entirely on her intuition in this regard and immerses herself in the role, or you can say that she is advancing the plot in the form of "experience".

When she couldn't immerse herself any more, a sense of disharmony emerged.

Si Ji sighed inwardly.

Although it's not perfect, it should be pretty good.

So he forced the other party to finish the job...

"【Ordinary life is the feathers bestowed by angels. I will always watch you from afar, hoping that you can always hold on to the feathers of happiness. ..."

"no--!"

Chapter 227 Angel

During the rehearsal, Nanami Aoyama expressed some of her own opinions on the script.

I can't remember the specific content, but it was something like "The angel feels too lonely, is this ending okay?"

At that time, Yamada Fairy didn't care about this. As a light novel author, she knew very well that if she wanted a story to leave a mark in the readers' hearts, a completely happy ending or a completely family-friendly ending would not do. There must be some regrets to deepen the impression, so that after the story ends, the readers can still remember it for a long time, rather than immediately forgetting it as a cheap joke.

And in her opinion, the angel was not that cruel. After all, He did not really disappear, He just left.

So even when watching the official performance of Nagisa Furukawa and her friends, Yamada Fairy did not feel anything wrong and only expressed her admiration for their acting skills.

Until the other party got food poisoning and the second performance fell on her, the girl finally felt a sense of disharmony after putting herself in the role of the protagonist and trying to review the script again.

The performance itself was not difficult, although memorizing the lines was a bit troublesome, but with Si Ji's understanding and allowing her to perform freely, everything was no longer a problem.

Shiki could easily take over all the lines she threw at him and guide her to continue in the direction of the original script. The whole process was relaxed and comfortable, just like an ordinary chat in Washimiya Ryo.

But in doing so, the sense of disharmony became even more severe.

However, at that time she did not find the source of the discomfort, and simply attributed most of the feeling to the nervousness caused by her having never acted in a drama before.

It was not until he actually stood on the stage, completely turned himself into the protagonist, and continued to advance the plot through the performance that Yamada Fairy finally realized where his almost instinctive feeling of something wrong came from.

The girl in the script met her "angel" when her life was at its most difficult time, and with the help of the "angel", she found happiness in her life.

There is no problem up to this point, but the key is that after that, the "angel" who helped the girl to obtain happiness will leave and watch over the girl in the distant heaven.

Once she put herself in the situation, Yamada Fairy couldn't help but regard the four seasons she met in her life as that 'angel'. Although she had only known him for a little over two months, he had brought her happiness and joy that she had never experienced in her life so far.

So according to the script, after this "angel" understands happiness, will he suddenly leave?

Even if she knew rationally that all this was just a script she wrote and the angel's departure was just for the stage effect, but looking at the scattered angel feathers on the curtain behind her and Si Ji's face with a faint smile behind the stage curtain, the feeling of loss and emptiness and the feeling of being abandoned were suddenly entangled together, turning into an irresistible impulse that surged into the girl's heart.
