In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

It was as if it was a combination of the several works she recommended and her and Ryosuke's shared experiences.

Plus the heroine is also blonde.

Eriri's heart beat faster and faster, and she thought of a possibility.

But when she saw the following plot, the redness on her face suddenly turned pale.

Her reaction was exactly the same as Yamada Fairy's.

No, it should be said to be more exaggerated.

She threw the manuscript on the table, tears streaming down her eyes.

Eriri took a step forward, grabbed Ryosuke by the collar, and buried her head in Ryosuke's chest.

She cried so hard that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and her tears even wet Ryosuke's clothes.

"Wow, that's too much, give Xiaoxun back to me!"

Eriri thinks back to "The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori".

Even though the hero disappeared in the end, the heroine still hugged him.

This guy's "Four Lies" is even more excessive. Until the heroine left this world, the hero still didn't tell her in person that he liked her.

The sweetest thing the male protagonist has ever said is "I just want to see you."

Ryosuke Hiratsuka touched Eriri's little head and comforted her.

Eriri is a sentimental girl who likes pure love with a bit of heartbreaking plot. She was so sad that she burst into tears.

"Your Lie in April" is a happy encounter, an unforgettable meeting, and a painful farewell.

There is the splendor when the cherry blossoms bloom, and there is the regret when the cherry blossoms wither.

When Ying Lili thought about the ending of the male and female protagonists in "Four Lies", she felt very unwilling.

Fortunately, although she was weak when she was a child, she doesn't have any serious illness now, so she shouldn't die suddenly like Xun.

Eriri blushed and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I won't leave suddenly. I will always help you draw illustrations."

ding dong~

Just as the two girls were immersed in sadness, the doorbell rang into the house.

Because of the sound of the ringing bell, Hiratsuka Ryosuke did not hear Eriri's voice as soft as a mosquito.

He glanced sideways at the fairy who was slumped on the ground with lifeless eyes, then looked at Eriri who was still standing in front of him.

Finally, he chose to pat Eriri's back gently and said softly, "Eriri, sit down for a while. I'll go open the door."

Eriri nodded, let go of Hiratsuka Ryosuke's clothes, sat on the sofa with her head lowered, and her two long golden ponytails hung casually in the air.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke came to the entrance and opened the door.

Before he could say anything, the other party spoke first with a surprised look on his face: "Eh? Teacher Ryou, why are you in Yamada Fairy's house?"

Machida Sonoko came this time to promote Yamada Yoji's new book.

"Ms. Machida, please come in first." Ryosuke Hiratsuka also knew why the editor often came to the fairy's house.

"Excuse me." Machida Sonoko said politely.

She changed her shoes, walked into the living room, and immediately saw that something was wrong.

The Yamada fairy was like a broken doll, sitting on the ground with lifeless eyes.

The other blonde girl was not much better, she sat on the sofa and sobbed.

Two girls, a boy, and the messy marks on Ryosuke Hiratsuka's clothes.

Machida Sonoko looked at Hiratsuka Ryosuke in horror, took a few steps back, and felt an urge to call the police.

Do kids nowadays play so wildly?

When Ryosuke Hiratsuka saw Machida Sonoko's behavior, he realized that she must have misunderstood something.

Then he pointed to the manuscript on the table and explained calmly, "They became like this because they read the manuscript of my new book. Don't let your imagination run wild, Ms. Machida."

New book? What's so great about this manuscript?

Machida Sonoko looked in the direction directed by Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

A messy pile of manuscripts lay quietly on the table.

"Your Lie in April"? The title doesn't give me any idea of ​​what it's about.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ryou, what type of work is this?"

Machida Sonoko picked up the manuscript and asked humbly.

After all, Ryou is the new cash cow, and the reactions of the other two girls are not simple at first glance.

"It's a campus romance, a story about the hero and heroine growing together and redeeming each other." Ryosuke replied calmly.

Machida Yuanzi was delighted when she heard this and said with a smile: "Campus romance? That's perfect!"

She originally just wanted to urge the fairy to hurry up, but she didn't expect to get something extra.

"What do you mean just right?" Hiratsuka Ryosuke asked, somewhat confused.

Machida Sonoko coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Ahem, Mr. Ryou, I'm very sorry that we asked you to find a temporary artist when you were creating "Sword Art Online". This was our negligence."

"Although Kashiwagi Eri is not bad, she is still an outsider and her level is not top-notch. This time our company has signed a new contract with a top artist in the industry. As compensation, this artist will become your long-term partner in the future!"

"It's hard to find a top artist, and that artist will give the highest priority to the illustration of your work. Mr. Ryou, this is our sincerity, and I hope you are satisfied."

Machida Sonoko finished speaking confidently, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Especially Eriri, she suddenly raised her head after hearing what Machida said.

Although there were still tear marks on her face, she had stopped crying.

Her eyes were still a little red because she had just cried.

At this moment, she was like a tiger whose territory was invaded. She stared motionlessly at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, with red eyes and without saying a word.

Chapter 62 I want to be the best painter in your heart

"You guys...what happened?"

Machida Sonoko frowned slightly, activated the air-reading skill, and noticed the strange atmosphere in the living room at this moment, and asked in confusion.

She was a little confused. She clearly brought good news, so why was no one cheering?

Judging from the looks of the three of them, they didn't seem to be so surprised by the good news that they were speechless.

The Yamada fairy, slumped on the ground, still had an expression of being beaten to a pulp.

Ryou, who was the person involved, looked calm, as if he had just heard something that had nothing to do with him.

And the unknown girl on the sofa, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, is quite cute.

But I have never seen her before, so what is the reason for her sudden hostility?

The blonde girl on the sofa gave Machida Sonoko the feeling of a golden retriever guarding its food.

Fortunately, Ryosuke Hiratsuka didn't make her wait too long.

"Thank you, Ms. Machida, but Kashiwagi Eri and I get along very well and I have no plans to change partners."

Ryosuke politely declined Machida's offer.

Whether an illustrator is good or not is not only determined by his or her drawing skills, but also by whether the illustrator and the light novel author are in sync.

Even top painters and top light novel authors may not always be able to work together perfectly to make their work's sales soar.

If there is a conflict between an illustrator and a light novel author, it is easy for them to influence each other's mentality, leading to a decline in the quality of the work, and may even directly destroy the sales of the light novel.

Eriri shifted her gaze to the figure of Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

A warmth continued to well up from the bottom of her heart.

She was aware of the gap between herself and the top painters, but the boy still answered so decisively.

She was a little touched that Ryosuke did not choose to abandon her.

Ying Lili said secretly in her heart.

Ryosuke, no matter who that top artist is, I will never hold you back.

"I see. But the other person really wants to meet you. She is the author of the popular manga "Moe Ai" - Yumeno Sakiko."

Machida Sonoko directly revealed the identity of the painter.

Yumeno Sakiko?!

Hearing the name, the other three stared at Machida Sonoko to make sure she was not joking.

"Hey, I remember that Yumeno Sakiko is not the manga artist of the Fuzugawa Bunko, right?"

When the Yamada fairy heard the name, he regained his senses and the suspicion in his eyes was not concealed at all.

After all, this name is too loud.

The single volume of the popular girls' manga "Moe Ai" has currently sold over 10 million copies.

Due to the delicate emotions of the characters in her comics, Yumeno Sakiko was once hailed as the "spokesperson for girls' minds." She is a true cartoonist and a top illustrator in the country.

Machida Sonoko nodded and said with a confident smile: "Now Ms. Yumeno Sakiko is about to become a contracted cartoonist of our company."

Then she turned to look at Hiratsuka Ryosuke and said earnestly: "Teacher Ryou, Yumeno Sakiko was able to join the Undead River because of you."

"I?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke pointed at himself, feeling very surprised but not showing it on his face.

He thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't know this Yumeno Sakiko.

If he knew an artist of this level, he would have gone to ask for illustrations from the beginning. Why would he have offered a reward and met Eriri?

"The other person really likes your work. How about meeting him?"

Machida Sonoko gave a cunning smile. She didn't believe that after her name was exposed, any light novel author in the industry would reject such an artist.

When Ying Lili heard this name, she felt that her previous thoughts seemed like a joke.

She hung her head and her expression became gloomy.

Because even Eriri herself is imitating and learning from Yumeno Sakiko.

Is she really qualified to compete with illustrators of that level?

Will Ryosuke abandon her and leave? After all, she is the manga artist Yumeno Sakiko who has sold tens of millions of copies!

For some reason, she suddenly felt a blockage in her heart.

Feelings of loss, melancholy and unwillingness continued to wash over her heart.

Eriri raised her head and stole a glance at Ryosuke. Her eyes showed some anticipation, some reluctance, and a hint of sadness.

But she quickly looked away before the other party noticed.

She didn't dare to continue watching because she was afraid that Ryosuke would really abandon her and choose Yumeno Sakiko, who was a better painter.

At this moment, Ying Lili was like an ostrich in crisis, burying her head in the soil and deceiving herself.

Just then, Ryosuke turned around and looked at Eriri, giving her a faint smile.

Then Ryosuke turned to look at Machida Sonoko and said seriously, "Editor Machida, out of basic etiquette, I will go meet with Ms. Yumeno Sakiko."

Then he changed the subject, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth, and his tone became softer, "But I won't give up on Kashiwagi Eri, after all, she... is my best partner!"

Ying Lili was startled when she heard that, then she clenched her fists and bit her lips lightly.

Ryosuke...

Damn, saying such things at this time.

Too cunning.

She stared at the boy's back, and the haze in her heart dissipated a lot.

Machida Sonoko noticed Hiratsuka Ryosuke's gaze, and she glanced at the cute girl with blonde twin tails out of the corner of her eye.

Combined with the other party's inexplicable hostility, Machida Sonoko had a flash of inspiration in her mind and had some vague guesses in her heart.
