Under this situation, Kato Yusuke stood up from his seat, walked to Eiriri and said.
"Just in case, let me ask, are you feeling unwell in any way?"
"No."
The girl who was blocked from the light frowned impatiently, "Besides, why are you getting involved in that kind of thing?"
"Because the way you look now is very abnormal."
Kato Yusuke said bluntly: "Since it's not because of my body, does it mean that you have any objections to me?"
He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, you can just say you're welcome."
"I have nothing to say to you."
The girl turned her body to the side, crossed her arms and crossed her legs.
"Anyway, with your current level, I have nothing to guide you... Rather, if you can maintain this level in every book, even if you set up a club of your own, you will be popular. Wouldn't that be great?
"
Yinglili responded like this.
Hearing this, Kato Yusuke suddenly laughed.
"Why would I do that?"
"Haha? Is this normal? After all, isn't your goal to make money?"
The girl's expression became more and more impatient.
"So remember to tell me early when you want to quit [egoistic-lily], otherwise your father and mother will come and ask all kinds of questions..."
"Won't quit."
Calm and firm words sounded from Kato Yusuke's mouth, interrupting the girl's unfinished words.
"Eh……?"
"I said I wouldn't quit."
The young man repeated it again.
The unexpected answer made Yinglili couldn't help but ask aloud.
"……Why?"
Kato Yusuke shook his head: "Although I really want to make money, I won't do anything against my will just because of this."
He picked up a stylus pen from the table, then flipped through the drawing book and opened a new page.
Under the girl's probing gaze, he waved his pen over it while considering his words.
"I'm very grateful for your help to me, because without you, I wouldn't have reached where I am now so quickly. So I won't leave, [egoistic-lily]."
The slender fingers unconsciously squeezed the arm.
"What kind of guidance..."
Accompanied by the rustling sound of the pen refill scratching the paper.
"Haven't you already surpassed me..."
An inaudible murmur came from the girl's mouth.
But he was quickly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic slogans of the members of the sports club coming from the window.
Tear it apart——
A sharp tearing sound came from the young man's hand.
I saw him shaking, and an A4-sized paper page was torn out from the drawing book.
Kato Yusuke handed it to the girl.
[To Teacher Eri Kashiwagi: Thank you for your continued guidance, and please look after me in the future - Eromanga.]
What appears on the paper is a petite and slender girl.
Clear eyes, delicate face, cute little tiger teeth looming in the mouth.
Among the blooming lilies, a smiling girl with raised hands gazed at her.
The hair on both sides of the head is tied up with ribbons, and the smooth ponytail hangs naturally from the shoulders, swinging in the air with the girl's movements.
The style is fresh and sweet, very endearing.
I just don’t know whether it’s intentional or not, but I always feel that the size of my chest seems to be slightly plumper than my own.
The moment the vivid picture came into her eyes, Yinglili couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"You, you, you, you, you, what are you doing...?!"
The girl was obviously deeply affected by the fact that someone had used superb painting skills to vividly depict it on paper.
Facing the other party's words, which could not be said to be a scolding or something like that, Yusuke Kato nodded slightly.
"I just want to thank Teacher Eri Kashiwagi for your continued help. If you don't mind, please accept it as my official application for joining [egoistic-lily]."
His tone was very calm, but it had an inexplicably reassuring tone.
The slanting sun shone into the room through the glass, coating the boy's silhouette with a golden-orange light.
Seeing this scene, Yinglili narrowed her eyes unconsciously and complained softly.
"Who, who wants that kind of thing?"
His eyes stayed on "himself" in the painting for a moment, and then glanced at the young man in front of him.
She then asked in a seemingly casual tone: "Are you really... not going to leave the club?"
"Well, I won't leave."
Kato Yusuke responded affirmatively: "So let's work hard together, maybe one day [egoistic-lily] can also become the top club in the fandom."
"top notch……"
Ying Lili's eyes flickered slightly, and then she changed her words.
"I mean, do you know what kind of monsters those top societies are? The sales of their works have exceeded one million (volumes/parts)."
"It's just Kato", "You don't even have a debut", "You are so arrogant", "You are just a cute dolphin now" and other words kept coming out of the girl's mouth.
Regarding this.
"Don't you have confidence?" Kato Yusuke responded: "Then let me do it."
The tone is neither exaggerated nor conservative, just like talking about certain established matters.
After all, for him, just by finishing the "Early Summer Time" series, he can almost achieve this sales volume.
It was as if something deep inside my heart had been quietly touched.
finally……
Ying Lili, who regained her arrogant posture, let out a soft hum, raised her hand to stir up her golden ponytail, and then took the painting in his hand.
"Since you said so, I'd better accept this application for joining the company."
His tone was full of disgust.
But his eyes refused to meet each other's eyes.
This is what is called speaking out against physical integrity.
…
At night, the Spencer family mansion.
On the long dining table with delicious food.
"So, how arrogant is that guy? He said that he wants to be at the top of the fandom... a million-seller, but he can actually say such things with a serious face. He is just like a child."
Facing the girl who was talking about these things in a disgusting tone, the ones who could still look at her with tender eyes and listen to her were the hosts and hostesses here - Leonard Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura.
"But you don't hate Kato-kun, do you? Eiriri."
Sawamura Sayuri asked her daughter with a smile.
"No, I hate it." Ying Lili, who swallowed a piece of fried potato, expressed her objection without hesitation. "That kind of sudden improvement in painting skills is like leveling up in a game. It's really annoying."
"Eh~~Obviously they even gave you a gift?"
Sayuri Sawamura, who was touching her cheek with one hand, said in a long tone, "And it's your portrait?"
"What, what kind of gift?!" Yinglili denied: "That's just an application for joining the company, an application for joining the company!"
"Application for joining the company?" Sayuri Sawamura and her husband looked at each other, "Then, can you show it to your parents?"
"Eh……?"
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, the girl couldn't help but fell silent, and then whispered.
"...It's not impossible."
Then, the foreign otaku father and rotten girl mother saw the portrait that their daughter called "application for joining the society."
Except for the breast size, we cannot say that other aspects have nothing to do with my daughter. We can only say that they are exactly the same.
In this regard, Sayuri Sawamura, who is also a creator, commented this way.
"If you have such a level, my mother starts to feel that Kato-kun is a bit of a pity in the book world."
