The first Friday in July is also the day of the election.
The private Toyosaki Academy has a gathering almost once a month, and it's usually Friday.
According to regulations, all teachers and students in the school must go to the gymnasium within five minutes of the start time of the morning class meeting, where the election speech will be held today.
An Yilun, who usually would go there when he was too late, had to go there early today because he couldn't calm down.
A man was walking on the way to the stadium with his shoulders slumped, and he let out a long sigh: "In this case... Kato won't be able to play games for me."
Due to the early hour, there were no people on the road at this time, but An Yilun didn't care about it. The thoughts in his mind even made him subconsciously ignore the surrounding environment.
Until he heard a strange, yet familiar, and equally worried voice not far ahead.
"Why...things turned out like this!"
His tone also sounded very distressed.
Looking up unconsciously, what caught An Yi's eyes was a golden ponytail that looked like a delicate handicraft.
That was his 'former companion' whom he was once very familiar with, but now he has not spoken to him much for six years.
"scare……!"
Even under such annoyance, he couldn't help but make a sound in surprise, which also attracted the other party's attention.
"Um……?"
The girl turned her head reflexively, and the confusion on her face also froze.
"Yo……"
An Yilun also said hello hesitantly.
"scare……!"
Yinglili took a step back in fright.
"Oh, oh...are you okay?"
The former's expression was stiff and twitching.
"…………"
The latter was silent and looked around in a panic.
"…………"
"…………"
A gust of breeze blew by, and the two fell into silence at the same time.
There is no one around.
An awkward atmosphere spread.
The girl took a deep breath, then glared fiercely and said: "What, what are you doing...! I told you not to suddenly talk to me at school without warning!"
"Aha?!"
An Yilun also reacted and retaliated: "What are you saying to the benefactor who lent you "Is this a zombie? Yes, that's George Romeo's classic business card"?"
The awkward atmosphere disappeared and was replaced by a mentality that could not be described as competition or confrontation.
"Hmph! It's the people who bring overly conspicuous things to school without permission that have the problem, right?"
Ying Lili crossed her arms and said, "And I don't remember asking you for anything like that!"
An Yilun also retorted unceremoniously: "That's what I say, but this work perfectly suits your taste. You will definitely be hooked after watching it!"
"They say no one asks you to do that kind of thing anymore...! And it was confiscated on the spot by someone from the student union. No matter how interesting it is, what's the use of it if you can't see it?"
Hear what the other person said...
"Huh……?"
As if out of anger, An Yilun suddenly calmed down.
"So this is what you care about?"
He pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said: "If you are worried about not being able to see it, there is no such problem at all. Anyway, the confiscated set is just the missionary edition. I still have two sets at home for my own viewing and collection. You
Wouldn’t it be nice to come back and get it then?”
"It's not that kind of problem!"
Yinglili stamped her feet angrily: "...Although I may indeed be interested in that work, you, you should pay attention to the influence in the school, right? Don't expose other people's secrets!"
"I didn't reveal your secret! Even when the teacher asked, I just said I made a mistake."
"Eh……?"
Ying Lili couldn't help but froze on the spot, then turned her head quickly and looked away from An Yirunya's face.
"…………"
"…………"
Obviously they don't want to do this, but this kind of quarrel always happens when the two of them meet.
Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, otherwise if other students saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
After venting for a while, Yinglili's anger gradually dissipated, and she whispered.
"Even if it wasn't me...haven't you already caused trouble for others?"
An Yilun was also confused: "Who do you mean by others?"
Eirili pretended not to care and said, "Look, that first-year...that person running for the student council, everyone is saying that you are a pair of otaku friends."
"ah--"
An Yilun also knocked his left fist on his right palm, "You are talking about Kato Yusuke, right? No, it should be said that he is originally from our side. Don't you know this?"
"Speaking of Yinglili..."
His expression became serious, and his eyes stared at the other person for a moment.
"Wha, what..."
Feeling inexplicable pressure, the girl unconsciously took two steps back and put her arms around her body in a defensive position.
"I said..."
An Yilun also continued in a solemn tone: "This summer vacation, do you want to come and do it with me -"
“Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, it’s your size——!!!”
Yingli blushed suddenly: "Do you know what you are talking about?! It's unbelievable!!!"
“ERYYYYYY——!!!”
The supple pony tails flew up in the wind, and the girl used her unique character's special move.
During the attack of being whipped by the long whip, An Yilun also raised his arms hastily and explained loudly: "Wait, wait a minute! It's a game! It's a game! Please play games with me this summer vacation——!
!”
Then the attack came to an abrupt end.
"What did you say……?"
"So it's a game, a beautiful girl game!"
An Yilun, who got a chance to breathe, also raised his voice and said: "Just help me design the first heroine... and by the way, I will also take over the design of several subsidiary heroines, plus all the characters.
The original painting...and a coloring with background as a bonus..."
The girl's face darkened, and she yelled in a low voice: "Are you talking about something out of nowhere? Or are you saying that you can't tell the difference between the second dimension and the third dimension?"
"Please, please——! Because I just encountered a project that can be called a masterpiece a while ago. The only one who can help me in this matter is you... use your superb painting skills."
An Yilun, who seemed to have no sense of shame for the thing he loved, also burst into tears.
Yinglili responded mercilessly: "It's all inexplicable! Also, I'm too busy just to do my own thing, and I really don't have time to spend time with outsiders for boring entertainment."
After saying that, he turned around and left, his expression indifferent.
"Please~~~~! As long as you agree to this, I will do whatever you ask for."
An Yilun also continued to catch up and said: "After all, after what happened yesterday, Kato will probably never help me make games again. The only one I can rely on now is you, so I must convince you, Eiri!
"
The moment the words were spoken, the girl's steps paused as if the stop button had been pressed.
Then he turned around and asked: "Who did you just say...?"
