Chapter 89 (Supplementary file)

"It's definitely not as good as what I drew." Eriri gave a very pertinent comment.

"Yeah, for stuff like this I would rather lose money than let others see it. They totally don't take my work seriously. They just found a few people to practice their work. If it turns out well, they think it's their own thing, but if there's a problem, they will put all the blame on me, the original author." Kasumigaoka Utaha complained very quickly.

Natsume Rin was not surprised, after all, this was the norm in the industry. What he was curious about was how the senior was going to deal with it after the cooperation ended, and how she could still bring it back to him.

"I don't plan to make anime anymore." She openly stated her future goals, "Anyway, I have been able to collect enough money for my four years of college tuition with my writing fees, and the pressure of life is not that great. Of course, I have to reward myself spiritually."

"As for coming to see my junior, have you heard of C99?"

Natsume Rin was in awe. He had of course heard about the largest doujinshi and comics exhibition in the island country. After a few days, even the resources on the Internet became more abundant.

But he is the original creator and has no talent for painting, so he should have nothing to do with that.

"I've heard of it, but haven't been there yet. If I have the chance this year, I might go and see it," he said honestly.

"With your sales volume, the company will definitely help you apply for a stall to sell peripherals, so why is there no news?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him with some confusion.

The small autograph session held for him during the summer vacation has already become quite a topic of discussion. Especially with the release of the third volume, the discussion about "Sword Art Online" has become more and more heated. There will definitely be a lot of related works produced at this year's exhibition.

"Because the time has not been determined yet."

"Anyway, there's no way I can delay this any longer. Eriri and I are planning to work together to participate in this exhibition, so I wanted to invite you, my junior, to come along."

Natsume Rin was silent for a moment. It was not that he had any prejudice against the exhibition. In fact, the normal fan works at the exhibition far outweighed those that were inappropriate for children. His peers in China just would not actively search for normal ones, but would uncontrollably click on the abnormal ones, so that kind of stereotype would arise.

"Senior, there is absolutely no need for me to cooperate with you." Natsume Rin expressed her meaning as tactfully as possible.

Does he look a lot like Yukinoshita Yukino?

"I told you it would be fruitless. Natsume will definitely be at his own booth by then. Why would he want to cooperate with us for no reason?" Eriri slammed the table.

In her idea, she only needed Kasumigaoka Utaha to provide the copywriting and she would be responsible for the painting. Then they could rent a booth and show their talents.

With their fame and fans, even if they cannot become top stars, selling all their works should not be a problem.

"What a pity." Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed regretfully, her beautiful eyes staring at Natsume, revealing a meaning that made him shudder.

What does this woman want to do?

"Senior Eriri, I have something here for you to look at." Natsume Rin tried hard not to look at her and instead aimed at the idle Eriri.

"Huh?" She looked up in confusion.

"Do you remember the campus festival we agreed on? This is the script we prepared, and the senior will play a very important role in it."

Many copies of the script had been printed out and were supposed to be delivered to Eriri by Natsume, but now that she had taken the initiative to deliver them to her door, it actually saved a lot of trouble.

"Filming."

After discovering this, Eriri became quite interested. She shook her blonde hair proudly and began to study the script.

Kasumigaoka Utaha moved her chair and sat next to the table, supporting her cheek with one hand, and looked at Natsume Rin with affectionate eyes, which made him shudder.

When I didn't know the truth, I would have thought that the senior sister was just obsessed with looks, but now it seems that she is relying on her mature and mature attributes to tease a pure male writer like him.

"Junior~"

"Senior, I must obey the company's arrangements for an exhibition like that." Natsume Rin said decisively.

"Hehe, if you had obeyed the arrangements, the last autograph session would have been so small?" Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her lips with her hand, and her smile was beautiful and charming.

Natsume Rin said nothing, whistled and looked at the ceiling, but she couldn't let go.

He either applies for a separate booth to promote his own works, or goes as a spectator to see if there is anything new. At the very least, he makes money according to the bookstore's arrangements.

Why should I accompany them for no reason?

"Kasumigaoka, I told you not to be so persistent." Eriri fanned herself with her hands and quickly read through the script.

"It looks okay. Although the story seems very cliché, it meets the principle of not taking too much time and tells the story clearly. It's my role. Do you really want to treat it as your ex-girlfriend in your memories, junior?"

The evaluation given by Eriri was not bad, but Natsume Rin's whistle was getting louder and louder. In the eyes of the senior sister who was gradually becoming clear from doubt, he said reluctantly.

"Actually, you are playing the role of the second girlfriend."

"...The tsundere heroine with a bad personality who kept quarreling with the hero and finally died in the hospital?" Eriri widened her eyes, suspecting that there was something wrong with her thinking.

The first time she read the script, she put herself in the image of the gentle and virtuous ex-girlfriend, but in the end she was told that the bad loli was her. It was inevitable that she would doubt her life.

"It fits the description very well. It seems that you wrote the script based on her image." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.

"Kasumigaoka, don't go too far!"

"Can't you just listen to the truth?" It seemed that Kasumigaoka Utaha knew very well how to make Eriri angry. After she said a few simple words in a sarcastic tone, Natsume Rin held her teacup and watched the women fighting attentively.

"Okay, come on, senior!"

At this time, he particularly wanted to have a snack cabinet in the activity room, otherwise he would be sorry for the true nature of the two senior sisters.

Because she did not encounter any sneak attacks, Eriri was no longer at a complete disadvantage. Instead, she gained a considerable advantage with her quick attacks.

The arrogant senior sister, who was originally so high and mighty, was beaten by her quick punches and could only defend herself, no longer having the kingly attitude she had just had.

Natsume Rin loves watching beautiful girls fighting the most, especially the scene where the winner was being taught a lesson by the tsundere little tiger-toothed girl, which made Natsume applaud enthusiastically.

"Senior, come on!"

As for that senior schoolmate, it has nothing to do with Natsume. Just don’t let her affect his good mood now.

Just when the battle was about to escalate further, the door of the activity room, which was usually deserted, was pushed open again. Yukino was talking to Mahiru about a play, and after seeing the scene inside, her face became as cold as the glaciers in Antarctica.

Chapter 90: Rich Loli Look at Me

"Listen to my explanation."

Natsume wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Yukino and Mahiru sitting opposite him. He felt as if he was being executed.

After the two people who were playing the upskirt game realized that they were discovered, even Kasumigaoka-senpai didn't dare to stay in the Service Club any longer. Eriri took a script, said goodbye to the two people with cold faces in a dejected manner, and fled from the Service Club.

So the most innocent Natsume has to face all the anger.

Logically speaking, he only provided the venue for the game, and instead of stopping the fight after it started, he instigated the uprising. Although he is guilty, his crime is definitely not serious.

"What else is there to explain? You just went out once, and when you come back you see people taking off their clothes. If we leave the club, I can't even imagine what that scene would be like." Yukino knocked on the table and coldly sentenced the criminal Natsume Rin.

It seems that his nature as a scumbag is far more than just two-timing.

"They wanted to fight, and I couldn't stop them." Natsume Rin counterattacked.

"Does Natsume like the color black very much?" Mahiru, who was sitting next to Minister Yukino's seat, said softly.

"Nothing."

Natsume Rin couldn't stop sweating on her forehead. Why did the topic suddenly jump to XP?

"I don't think he likes black." Xueno sneered, "As long as it's good-looking, he likes it."

As expected of a minister, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, but was it necessary to explain it so thoroughly?

"Is that so? How about white?" Shiina Mahiru leaned her head over and asked in a low voice.

"……It will be all right."

"That's too much! Can't Natsume have some persistence and principles?" She immediately changed her expression and started complaining while patting Natsume's head.

Well, it's clear that things are not that good.

He looked up and out the window. The two girls' angry yet shy expressions became cute.

"I can understand what happened between you and Kasumigaoka-senpai, but what about Eriri?" Yukino was flipping through the documents on the table, and the tone of the interrogation was much less.

She was not stupid, of course she could see that he was just a mere spectator.

"They were the two of them arguing and fighting here. It has nothing to do with me." He emphasized this fact.

"And Buchou, I've already given Eriri-senpai's script to her, and she seems very satisfied with it. How did your filming go today?"

This abrupt diversion technique certainly didn't fool anyone else, and the two girls still stared at him with dissatisfaction, but they still chatted about today's shoot.

"It's going pretty well. Shiina did a great job filming most of the flashbacks. Now all that's missing is you."

Yukino handed the camera to Natsume and asked him to enjoy it himself. Mahiru covered her face and looked a little shy, but she was looking forward to his evaluation.

Most of the scenes in the memories are of high school. The clips of Mahiru strolling around the campus in school uniform are like the heroine in the oil painting walking into reality.

"She's very beautiful, as expected of Shiina-san."

"Thank you for the compliment." She nodded unceremoniously to accept the praise.

After all, it's the right thing to do, so there's nothing wrong with Natsume praising it.

"We've already finished filming Shiina's scenes alone at school. Next up is your date, and we also need to notify Eriri-senpai to prepare for her scene."

Yukino was arranging her work with her head down, recording something. As the school festival got closer, she became calmer and completely immersed in her work.

"Date!" Mahiru's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Ah, don't think too much about it. Because of time factors and considering the audience, there won't be many scenes where the male protagonist shows his affection. They only added one because of the death of his ex-girlfriend." Yukino said rationally, and then took the camera.

"Ah~"

Mahiru sighed with great regret, but when he thought of what Yukinoshita-san had just told him, he suddenly perked up again.

"Xiaoxue, I'll buy all the movie tickets so we can shoot a few more date scenes!" Her eyes were sparkling with the light of money.

"Sorry, no." Yukino put the things into her bag without even looking up. "Although we will use the proceeds from this movie as activity funding, we haven't resorted to selling out members to raise funds."

really not?

Looking at her beautiful face that was cold yet serious, Natsume Rin asked doubtfully in her heart.

She had openly said that she would use Natsume to lure those girls into buying tickets and entering the venue.

"Today's club activities are over. Thank you for your hard work."

Noticing his gaze, Yukino glared at him, then stood up and announced the end of the event.

The Minister stayed behind to lock the door. He and Mahiru were leaning against the guardrail and chatting.

"I plan to clean out the group of things in the back of the activity room, and then buy something to put it in."
