In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

After Eriri answered the fairy's question, she noticed that the fairy's expression became strange.

"Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, are you looking down on nudity?" The Yamada fairy asked in a low voice with dull eyes.

Without waiting for Eriri to reply, she opened her arms again, with only determination in her eyes, and spoke loudly with a sacred look on her face.

"Being naked is the most natural clothing God has given to humans!"

"Naked is justice!"

Eriri was so frightened by Yamada Fairy's strange remarks that she sat back down on the sofa.

In just a few minutes, the image of the fairy was refreshed in her mind many times.

My initial impression was that Yamada Fairy was a cute fat otaku, but after meeting her I found out that she is a lovely girl.

But now it seems that the goblin is a loyal believer in the nudist cult.

This was in sharp conflict with her belief in humiliating painters.

What's the point of starting naked? There's no sense of anticipation at all.

The best expression is the one that is a mixture of hatred and shame, right?

What Eriri likes is the love story between the male and female protagonists in Yamada Fairy's books, not the nude plot that Yamada Fairy is most proud of.

"Hmm? Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, what's wrong with you?"

Yamada Yoshihide showed a puzzled look on his face, but he was patient enough for his perfect future partner, and he was also a fan of the book.

Eriri looked embarrassed and said, "If it's just an illustration, then it's fine."

She secretly glanced at Ryosuke, looking for help.

Because Yamada Fairy is Ryosuke's friend, and she herself is also a fan of Fairy's books, it is difficult for her to refuse directly.

Eriri's little trick did not escape the attention of the fairy Yamada, whose attention was all on her.

The Yamada Fairy walked up to Eriri and chuckled.

"Are you in a dilemma because it's hard to give up your past partners?"

She placed her hands on Eriri's shoulders, looked into her eyes and continued.

"Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, I hope you can draw illustrations for my new book. If you are worried that your choice will be a betrayal of your former partner, then there is no need to worry. I will use practical actions to tell you who is the most suitable partner for you."

Finally, the fairy turned to look at Hiratsuka Ryosuke and shouted in a chuunibyou tone.

"Guardian Knight! Teacher Kashiwagi Eri is only worthy of being possessed by the strong. The fairy here challenges you."

"Only the winner can obtain the ownership of Kashiwagi Eri."

"Let's use Kashiwagi Eri's favorite romance light novel to decide the winner!"

Chapter 56: Hikigaya Hachiman Rises

Fairy Yamada looked at Hiratsuka Ryosuke with confidence and said to himself.

Boys shouldn't be very good at romance novels, right?

Sorry, I'm too cunning because I can't give up Kashiwagi Eri.

Ryosuke, I will introduce you to other better top painters in the future.

As for the romance light novel to be used in this duel, she had actually already been secretly writing it.

The goblin who often deals with illustrators knows it clearly.

An illustrator often has limited energy and cannot take too many orders at the same time.

Otherwise the quality of the illustration will be greatly reduced.

This means that if Kashiwagi Eri chose Ryosuke.

Then she would have to find a new artist for the new book she was about to publish, which might take a long time.

Forgive me, Ryosuke, this is the last time.

After I prove it to Eri Kashiwagi and change her mind about nudity, she will completely become my partner.

After I win, I will introduce all my painter friends to you one by one.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke originally planned to refuse the fight.

But when I thought about how the fairy had previously wanted Eriri to speak naked, I was worried that the fairy would do something bad to Eriri.

He just couldn't give in.

"That's fine with me, but why don't you ask the person concerned for his or her opinion?"

Both of them turned their eyes to Eriri at the same time.

Ying Lili felt that she was weak, pitiful and helpless at this moment.

She had never been treated as such a popular commodity and fought over by others. Her pair of clear blue eyes kept looking back and forth between Hiratsuka Ryosuke and Yamada Fairy.

One is my partner, and the other is my favorite author.

Eriri really wanted to say that it would be okay to draw for both of them.

But she also knew that her energy was limited and she had to go to school during the day, so she simply didn't have that much time.

Ying Lili closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself.

When she opened her eyes again, the confusion and hesitation in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

She nodded heavily and said in a tender voice, "Okay, then let Kashiwagi Eri judge your works!"

Finally, she turned her gaze to Hiratsuka Ryosuke and smiled.

Somehow, she felt more confident in this partner.

Will you be victorious, Guardian Knight?

Seeing that Eriri herself had no objection, Hiratsuka Ryosuke nodded.

The Yamada Fairy seemed to see victory waving at her.

Because she felt that her new novel was of better quality than her previous best-selling work.

So she said proudly, "Okay, let's set a deadline of half a month to see who can write a love light novel that Kashiwagi Eri can admire!"

……

After agreeing on this battle, Eriri also exchanged contact information with the fairy, and finally they went back to their respective homes.

Before he knew it, Ryosuke Hiratsuka had walked under a bridge.

That was the bridge where he and Mori Xia signed the contract.

When he thought of Nibutani Morika's shy look that day, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, a figure was seen under the bridge from a distance.

This figure seemed familiar to him.

Under the bridge.

Hikigaya Hachiman was holding a copy of "Sword Art Online" and reciting the lines from the book while facing the rushing river.

Only in this deserted environment could he have such courage.

"Although this is a virtual world, my feelings are real. My desire to be with you has never changed. When I return to the real world, the first person I want to see is you. I want to like you again and have a real relationship with you."

He glanced down at the book in his hands.

It's so well written, Asuna's confession to Kirito.

Rephrase this sentence and use it for yourself at another time.

He is a person who likes to stay at home, but he chooses to go out on weekends. The reason is actually very simple.

Hikigaya Hachiman fell in love with a girl in his class.

Think back to those days.

When he was in the fourth grade, his classmates called him Hikigaya-gun and he was regarded as an irresistible bacteria by that group of people.

I have always been alone in class.

In other words, he used his brain better and avoided being collectively bullied.

I thought that I would continue to be alone in junior high school, just like in elementary school.

Unexpectedly, his fate changed just after school started.

First day of school.

Everyone took out their phones and looked around, exchanging contact information.

He met a girl.

When no one of the opposite sex was willing to approach him, I exchanged email addresses with him.

From then on, he would find excuses to email the girl every night.

Even if the other person’s reply the next day is “Sorry, I fell asleep.”

He still persisted.

Hikigaya Hachiman's emotions will also fluctuate depending on whether the other party replies to the message or not.

He has read many books and has a general understanding of his current situation.

Maybe this is what it means to care about someone.

"Long time no see, Hikigaya."

Hikigaya Hachiman heard a calm and indifferent voice coming from behind him.

He looked back.

The visitor was a handsome young man who was also his deskmate in elementary school.

Although he didn't know why the other party came to greet him.

But out of courtesy, he chose to turn around and face the other party and responded.

"Yeah, long time no see, Hiratsuka."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke had a good impression of the person sitting at the back table, but the two of them didn't have much interaction, and he hadn't originally planned to come over.

But he heard Hikigaya Hachiman reciting lines from "Sword Art Online" from afar, so he decided to come and take a look.

Hikigaya Hachiman saw that Hiratsuka Ryosuke's eyes were focused on the book in his hand.

Realizing what he had just done, he cautiously probed, "Hiratsuka, you didn't hear anything just now, did you?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke had no intention of lying to Hikigaya, and said calmly, "I heard it, from the beginning of 'Although This Is a Virtual World'."

The straightforward words made Hikigaya Hachiman blush.

He held up the light novel in his hand and explained, "These are the lines from this book. I'm just reading the lines."

Ryosuke nodded, "I know, because I wrote this book."

"Eh?"

This time it was Hikigaya Hachiman's turn to be dumbfounded.

He glanced down at the book's author's name, Ryou.

Isn't this the pronunciation of cool?

Then he raised his head and looked at the cold elementary school student in front of him with horror.

Is this guy so powerful?

This book is very popular, and many people around me are reading it.

Hikigaya Hachiman chose to give up his excuses.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

Maybe it’s because I saw him saving the disabled girl in my class when I was in elementary school.

Such a person should not be a bad person.
