In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

The black-clad swordsman in the painting looks different from the real Hiratsuka Ryosuke, but their temperaments are almost identical.

Eriri yawned and a few tears appeared in her eyes.

There was a mixture of fatigue and excitement in his eyes.

Finally, she smiled and took a picture of the painting with her camera.

After sending it to a sponsor named Ryou, he fell asleep on the table.

The night will eventually usher in dawn, and the rising sun will pierce the darkness. The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and shines on Eriri's soft blonde hair, making it look even more gorgeous.

early morning.

In the school corridors, students come and go, exuding the youth and vitality unique to this age.

"Good morning, Eriri~"

"Good morning~"

"Eri is so cute, just like the princess."

At this moment, Eriri was like an elegant and noble lady of the nobility. She responded to everyone who greeted her as usual.

The only difference was that she felt a little dizzy now.

She barely slept as she painted at night.

Woo, I’m so sleepy. I really want to sleep a little longer.

Ying Lili held onto the handrail at the side of the stairs, her legs feeling as if they were filled with lead.

The stairs that I could climb easily before now are difficult to walk on.

She stopped and stood on the stairs, swaying.

Finally, she seemed to have lost all her strength and could no longer hold on, and her body fell backwards.

Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear a familiar voice calling her.

A strong hand hugged her waist from behind.

My whole body fell into a warm and solid embrace.

Eriri tried her best to open her eyes a crack.

She couldn't see the face of the person who came.

Vaguely, I could only see a black figure.

Eh? Am I dreaming?

How did the black swordsman escape from the painting?

Eriri's face turned even paler and she could no longer hold on and fainted on the stairs.

the other side.

While Mori Xia entered the classroom, Ryosuke Hiratsuka secretly grabbed Nishimiya Shoko from behind.

He earnestly told her, "Glass, please help me keep an eye on Mori Xia and don't let her second-year syndrome affect the classmates in the class. Do you understand?"

Now he only hated that he was not in the same class with Morixia.

If they were in the same class, then whenever Morixia wanted to have an attack, he could poke her forehead for physical therapy.

I was fucked by Mori Xia in the kendo club yesterday.

I thought the title of Guardian Knight would remain in elementary school.

Now, everyone in the club knew about it on the first day of school.

Nishimiya Glass actually doesn't have much confidence.

Because she discovered that, besides Ryosuke, the only person who could prevent Morika from getting sick was Sister Jing.

But she still nodded heavily in response to Ryosuke's request and said softly, "Yes! I will try my best."

Ryosuke gently stroked Naoko's fluffy hair and sighed, "Noko is still the best. You should go back to the classroom too. See you later."

Nishimiya Naoko was still savoring the moment and reluctantly said goodbye to Ryosuke.

Just as Ryosuke Hiratsuka reached the stairs.

When he looked up, he found a girl in front of him, swaying on the stairs.

The incident happened suddenly and the girl fell backwards in an instant.

Ryosuke threw away the schoolbag in his hand and rushed forward.

"Danger!"

It happened in a flash, and fortunately, there was no danger and he successfully caught the girl.

When I looked closely, I found that we were actually classmates.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri?

He was still very impressed by being the only foreigner in the class.

Ryosuke noticed that Eriri's face looked a little abnormal, so he quickly picked her up in a princess hug.

Rushed towards the infirmary.

Chapter 42: Otome Game-style Encounter and Confrontation Prelude

The infirmary of Ruanye Middle School is spacious and bright, with a clean and beautiful environment.

A breeze blew by, and the paper wind chimes hanging by the window danced in the wind.

Ying Lili was lying on the bed, her eyelids moving.

She slowly opened her eyes, a look of confusion in her deep blue eyes.

He supported himself on the bed with both hands and sat up.

The white ceiling, the huge medicine cabinet, and the female school doctor in a white coat behind the desk made her realize where she was.

Eriri only remembered the last scene before she fainted. It seemed that someone picked her up and then she lost consciousness.

"Classmate, you're awake."

The female school doctor walked from behind the desk to the bedside, with a gentle smile on her face, blinked her eyes, and expressed her concern to Eriri who was lying on the bed.

"What am I?"

Ying Lili's originally pale face regained a hint of redness, and her voice was a little hoarse as she had not drunk a single drop of water.

"Classmate, you must make sure to rest in the future. Excessive fatigue can easily lead to hypoglycemia. Fortunately, a boy brought you here in time."

The female school doctor reminded patiently.

It’s mainly the young people nowadays who, relying on their youth, don’t take care of their bodies and are the champions in staying up late.

Although they are young and full of energy, they have contracted many diseases that should not occur at this age.

As a doctor, she did not choose to go to another hospital, but came to be a school doctor because she wanted to protect these children.

The female doctor picked up the milk and red bean bread from the cabinet next to her and handed them to Ying Lili.

With a gentle smile, he said, "Eat something. It's already afternoon. You must be hungry after not eating for a day, right?"

After hearing what the school doctor said, Ying Lili felt her stomach growling.

She blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. These were brought by your classmate. In addition, there's a lollipop. Wow, what a thoughtful and considerate boy. If I were 20 years younger, I would probably fall in love with him."

The school doctor smiled widely, as if she was recalling her youthful years with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Doctor, what is the name of the person who brought me here?"

Eriri took a big bite of bread and asked incoherently.

"I think his name is Hiratsuka..." The school doctor touched his chin with his fingertips, pretending to think hard. Then his eyes lit up and he continued, "Yes, his name is Hiratsuka Ryosuke! He's quite good-looking, but he looks a little cold."

Hearing this, Ying Lili glanced at the milk and bread in her hands, lost in thought.

It's him?

We never even spoke a word to each other at school.

Even though it was the first time we met, he still saw that I was an otaku.

Eriri tries hard to recall her interactions with Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

The first time they collided at the corner of the villa area, he extended a helping hand to her.

The second time, he rescued her when she was about to fall down the stairs and left so much food.

This plot development is just like... just like the classic scene in the otome game where the hero and heroine meet.

Male, female protagonist?!

Thinking of this, Ying Lili lowered her little head, her pupils dilated, and she bit her lips lightly.

The fair face turned red, and there was even a faint white smoke coming out of the head.

I don’t know what I thought of.

Eriri suddenly yelled, "I wouldn't do that!"

She was too excited, her chest heaving, and she quickly shook her head to deny it.

Eriri's sudden scream startled the school doctor.

It didn't take long for Eriri to finish the food that Ryosuke Hiratsuka left for her.

"It looks like you've recovered. You should rest well in the future~"

After thanking her, Eriri walked out of the school infirmary.

She tore open the wrapper of the lollipop and put it in her mouth.

I took out my cell phone and took a look, and found a new email that I received at noon today.

"Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, your paintings are so impressive. I will need a lot of illustrations about the black swordsman in the future. I wonder if you have time to meet and establish a long-term cooperation?"

「From: Ryou」

Very good!

Huge reward received!

Ying Lili's eyes lit up and she held the phone tightly with both hands.

As for long-term cooperation...

To be honest, Eriri was very excited. The reason why she drew fan illustrations was not only because of her love for it, but also because she wanted to improve herself and gain some fame.

In the future, I will be able to have access to better fan clubs and communicate with more amazing artists.

Of course, being able to make money is the best. After all, painting is a very expensive thing. If you use passion to generate power, it won’t last long and you’ll easily run out of motivation.

Eriri bit her lip, feeling a little conflicted. She really wanted to meet Ryou. Seeing how generous he was, he was probably a member of a big club. Long term cooperation would be helpful to her future development.

But she is too young and afraid that the other party will look down on her because of her age.

In Neon, seniority is very important.

Even if many newcomers are more outstanding, they will still be suppressed by their seniors in a society with strict hierarchy.

She shook her little head, and her two ponytails swung around.

Then he patted his face with his hands and his eyes gradually became firm.

Eriri took out her cell phone and replied to the email.

"It would be my honor. I will bring the manuscript with me. How about we meet at the Fuzugawa Bookstore in Bunkyo-ku on Saturday?"

The other party seemed to have been staring at his phone and quickly gave a brief reply, "OK."

Ying Lili's eyes lit up, she clenched her fists and made a victory gesture.

Since we want to reach a long-term cooperation, the other party’s demand is more illustrations related to the Black Swordsman.

Then there is only one answer.
