In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

One day, a lowly knight broke in through the window.

The knight lived in the outside world and told the princess many stories about the outside world, which won the princess's heart. The two decided to elope.

However, the gap between their identities was too great and they were hunted down by the king.

Although the process of love is beautiful, the final ending is also a tragedy.

How could a lowly knight escape the king's trap?

Finally, the princess returned to the castle and continued to be a beautiful canary in the birdcage.

When Hiratsuka Ryosuke saw FIN on the screen, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It is hard to imagine what kind of mentality the author of this game had when he created this work.

But this time, Eriri did not cry like she did the previous two times.

Her face became a little gloomy, and she sat on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, and whispered: "Ryosuke, what do you think of this game?"

“Bad work.”

Unlike the previous comics and light novels, Ryosuke Hiratsuka gave the most realistic evaluation.

Eriri raised her head and looked at Ryosuke beside her, wondering, "Why? Is the emotional portrayal in this game not good?"

"The writing skills of the script are okay, but this knight doesn't deserve to be called a knight! He has no knight's protective spirit at all. He just runs away and never thinks about how to break the situation or protect the girl he likes. His feelings are fake."

Ryosuke Hiratsuka mercilessly criticizes the protagonist of this game.

If it is Nibutani Morika who is in trouble, then Hiratsuka Ryosuke will overcome all obstacles no matter what difficulties lie ahead.

Rush to Senxia's side to protect her instead of running away with Senxia.

The behavior of the male protagonist in this game cannot make him feel sympathetic.

Eriri's eyes widened when she heard Hiratsuka Ryosuke's words, "Don't you think this knight is very courageous? He dared to run away with the princess."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke turned his head and looked into Eriri's deep blue eyes, meeting her eyes.

He said earnestly: "Listen carefully, Eriri, courage is not recklessness. Not even thinking about how to protect the girl you like, but just taking her on the run, this is not courage, but cowardice."

"Then what else can this knight do? He's helpless too," Eriri retorted.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke answered seriously, "Eri, let's talk about the background of the game. The king is unpopular, the nobles are ready to make a move, and the country is already in turmoil. So you can use the princess's name to gather a group of people to overthrow the king and protect the princess. Or you can go out and do it alone to quell the rebellion. Even if you don't overthrow the king, you will get the king's approval and marry the princess in a grand manner. Just deceiving the princess who is ignorant of the world and escaping irresponsibly is not the way to solve the problem."

Eriri was stunned. She had never thought about this problem from this perspective.

After all, she has always played this game as an ordinary love game, and the reason she collected it is because the emotional lines are portrayed in great detail.

The shackles in her mind seemed to be broken at this moment, and she blurted out a sentence from the bottom of her heart, "Ryosuke, if one day, I am trapped in the castle like this princess, will you come to save me?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke smiled and said without hesitation: "Of course, we are partners."

When Eriri heard Hiratsuka Ryosuke's answer, she was happy at first, but then a flash of disappointment passed through her eyes.

But she still pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Ahaha, yes, we are partners."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke did not forget the purpose of this trip and continued to ask, "By the way, I've read the comics and novels and played the games, but what about the animation?"

"Yes, there are animations, wait a minute."

Ying Lili forced a smile and continued to search in the box.

After more than 40 minutes, they finished watching the animation "Firefly Forest" together.

This is a story that is destined to be full of sadness, about a half-human, half-demon falling in love with a human, because monsters will disappear if touched by humans.

As the years go by, the relationship between the hero and heroine gradually grows stronger, but they are unable to touch each other.

In the end, the male protagonist touched upon the impending extinction of humanity at the festival, but he smiled and gave the female protagonist a hug.

The plot does not have too many ups and downs, and is basically plain and heartwarming scenes between the male and female protagonists.

At this moment, Ying Lili was crying like a tearful person.

Sitting on the ground, sobbing softly, "How...how is it, do you have any inspiration?"

"Thank you, Eriri. I already have some ideas."

Ryosuke Hiratsuka took out a tissue and wiped away the tears of Eriri beside him.

He wiped away her tears gently, but it made Eriri feel like she was struck by lightning. She sat there motionless and even forgot to cry.

"What's wrong with you?" Ryosuke Hiratsuka asked with concern.

This kid has seen so many stomach-ache-inducing things, won’t he have a mental breakdown?

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Eriri seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.

The boy was so close to her that she could even smell Ryosuke's nice scent and she even wanted to smell it more.

When Eriri heard what Ryosuke said, she came to her senses and quickly waved her hands with a blushing face.

"I... I'm fine! I'm glad I can help you." She calmed herself down and continued, "So what kind of story do you want to write?"

At first, Ryosuke Hiratsuka really didn't know what to write because he had not read many romance light novels.

But the judge of this competition is Eriri, and he knows Eriri's preferences, which are pure love anime with delicate emotions but that make people feel sick.

Sweet with a little bit of sharpness.

It just so happens that ACGN is also interoperable in nature.

So Ryosuke already had an idea in his mind.

He nodded to Eriri beside him and said softly, "It's a youth story about a pianist and a violinist working together as partners and growing together. You will definitely like it."

"Eh? Really? It sounds a bit ordinary."

Eriri frowned slightly, a little bit unable to believe that Ryosuke had an inspiration so quickly.

After all, she plans to continue recommending some other works.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke looked up at the sky outside the window.

It was still sunset when we arrived.

Now the afterglow of the setting sun has long disappeared, and the dark night sky is filled with stars.

"It's getting late. I need to go home first. Eriri, thank you for today."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke stood up, took the remaining volumes of "Toradora!", and said goodbye to Eriri.

Eriri stood on the balcony in a daze, watching Hiratsuka Ryosuke's back until he disappeared.

Come on, Ryosuke, you must defeat that fairy.

She turned around and walked into the room, only to see the sketchbook had been turned to the last page.

Ryosuke probably didn’t see what was ahead just now, right?

What if he finds out that I'm secretly drawing him?

In front of the sketchbook, pages of portraits flashed before her eyes.

She didn't know when she started to care more and more about this partner.

She threw herself on the bed, holding her sketchbook, and rolled around.

After a while, she stopped tumbling.

Lying on the bed, holding the sketchbook high, I turned to the last blank page in the sketchbook.

This was the title of her new book that she asked Ryosuke to leave before she left.

She blushed and smiled slightly, revealing her white little fangs and her eyes were blurred.

Combined with tonight's conversation, I felt like my little thoughts seemed to be exposed to the other party.

Because the title of his new book is - "Your Lie in April".

Chapter 60: Yukinoshita Haruno's Expectations

Half a month passed by in a flash.

At night, lights illuminate the city sky and vehicles flow on the road.

An unknown izakaya where some employees of Fuzugawa Bookstore drink and party after get off work.

In Japan, where the system is strict and the whole society is relatively repressive, people tend to separate "drinking" and "eating".

"Having a drink after get off work" has become a habit for many office workers to relax.

In addition to relaxing, izakaya is also a social place.

Even some middle-aged men will be considered as failures in the workplace by their wives if they return home on time after work.

"Editor Machida, Sword Art Online is selling so well this time, you have to treat us."

"Yes, Sister Yuanzi, you can't escape this order."

"Haha, no way, no way. Thanks to all of you."

Machida Sonoko and her colleagues joked around and boasted about how good she was at identifying talent.

It seems as if Ms. Machida will pay for today's consumption.

She also didn't expect that the sales of "Sword Art Online" would exceed 20 copies in less than a month.

This is a very scary statistic. You have to know that many novels may not sell this much even if all the volumes are added together.

From this perspective, it is only a matter of time before this book is adapted into a comic book or animation in the future.

As Ryou's editor, she naturally received bonuses from the company.

The only regret is that the artist is a foreign aid, which is not stable.

If Ryou was a newcomer before, there were also painters who didn't know the value of the work and delayed or even refused to accept the job.

Well now Ryou has proven his potential with his works.

This will definitely be a cash cow for the Undying Library for some time to come, a thigh thicker than that of the Yamada Fairy.

In this case, the next strategy is to pair Ryou with a top artist who is signed to his own company to form a strong alliance.

Happy times are always short, and the party between Machida and his colleagues has ended.

When she just walked to the door, she heard a pleasant female voice behind her.

"Ms. Machida~"

Machida Sonoko looked in the direction of the voice and raised her eyebrows. It was a girl with short hair who was dressed very maturely.

She walked to the source of the sound and sat opposite her at the same table.

His tone was slightly serious, "Ms. Yukinoshita, you should be less than 20 years old, why are you in a place like this?"

In Neon, although the adult age is 18, major izakayas generally do not sell alcohol to people under 20.

"Why am I here? I don't know."

Yukinoshita Haruno pretended to think about it, then smiled and made a joke.

Then she changed the subject, "Ms. Machida, your company's top painters are scarce, right?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yukinoshita, I can't answer that because it's a commercial secret."

Machida Sonoko refused directly.

As a professional, she naturally has to have professional ethics. Even if Yukinoshita's family is the owner of the company's building, she will not disclose company secrets casually.

Machida Sonoko was about to say goodbye, but the other party's next sentence hit her current pain point.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and continued, "I know a top artist. He just happened to read "Sword Art Online" recently and really liked the love content in it. He wants to work with Ryou."

After saying that, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to be well prepared and took out an illustration from her bag.

"This is?!"

Machida Sonoko exclaimed softly, staring at the illustration on the desktop, unable to move her eyes away.

As a gold medal editor, she has also come into contact with various painters.

She could tell at a glance who had drawn this illustration.
