"..."
Kyosuke hung up the phone silently, and he felt a little pain in his liver.
So Kyosuke's three consecutive trips ended with him talking on the phone late at night. No wonder Kyosuke wanted to be a lazy person who didn't want to do anything except sleep after returning home.
However, Kyosuke's dream of being a lazy guy was ruthlessly shattered by Eriri before it even began.
After Kyosuke's persuasion, Eriri finally accepted his explanation, but even so, she did not completely forgive Kyosuke. After all, Kyosuke left her alone to go out and have fun, which in itself was a betrayal in Eriri's eyes.
"Shut up. Anyway, no matter if it's you or Mashu-chan, anyone who goes out to play is my enemy!"
"You can also come with us..."
Eriri became even angrier after hearing what Kyosuke said. She felt that Kyosuke was definitely targeting her: "How could I have time to go out and play! Do you know how many manuscripts I need to finish at this point in time? At a time like this when I want to use the Clone Hammer to create several clones of myself, how could I have the time to go out and play with you guys?!"
Isn't this what you did yourself?
As a new regular at her bar, Sayuri sold Eriri to all of her, so Kyosuke actually knew very well how Eriri had ended up like this.
The fact that the deadlines for the holy war and the monthly magazine were close was indeed an objective reason, but it was more because Eriri was too slow. Since the summer vacation in mid-July, the girl has been drying salted fish at home, using the excuse that she had studied too hard before. Normally, both Sayuri and Uncle Spencer would take the initiative to remind this guy to start working, but this time Spencer, who is obsessed with his daughter, was away on a business trip, and Sayuri planned to use this opportunity to correct Eriri's procrastination, but in the end even Sayuri herself forgot to remind her daughter to work. So due to various coincidences, Eriri didn't even finish 7% of her work on this day when the deadline was approaching.
"So, Eriri, are you here to ask me for help?"
Kyosuke had already guessed the reason why Eriri called him. If she wasn't short of manpower, there was no way she would call him when she was angry with himself.
"Of course, as compensation for going out to play alone, I will squeeze out all your value. Just wait to be fucked in my house~"
"..."
As expected, after being childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, you still don’t know how to be polite. However, Kyosuke always feels that there is something wrong with what you said. However, considering that he has wronged her first, he will not complain about it for the time being.
"It's no problem for me to help, but since I have to work at night, I can only stay until 4: in the evening. If I work later, I will be late."
"That's not even enough time for me to finish two original paintings! Part-time jobs are not as important as your childhood sweetheart! Why not just quit?"
Kyosuke was immediately shocked by Eriri's words. "How is that possible? I have a lot of things to do at work. When I went out to play before, I always asked others to help me with my shifts. Now that I'm back, I must still go to work."
I went out to play for so many days before, but it was originally agreed to be a short trip of two days and one night. When I went back to Chiba and dropped off some things at the store, the girls looked at me like a woman in the boudoir. If I hadn't been smart enough to bring them the records, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return to the Takasaka family alive. But even so, it's still quite dangerous in Kyosuke. If I ask for leave again at this stage, I'm afraid I'll be hung under the lampshade by Jeanne and have my upper and lower heads fanned at the same time.
"Tsk~ It's useless. Never mind. It's better than nothing."
Kyosuke felt a little distressed by Eriri's weak voice. After all, she was his half-sister, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
So Kyosuke thought for a moment and asked Eriri, "How many people do you need to help you now?"
"In fact, two or three more assistants who know the basics of comics will be enough. Why, do you have the manpower?"
"A few of my otaku friends, if I beg them, they will probably agree."
When Eriri asked for help, Kyosuke immediately thought of Kuroneko and Saori, two otaku girls. In fact, to some extent, these two are much better than the eldest daughter of his family who only knows how to watch anime. Both Kuroneko and Saori have strong hands-on skills, especially Kuroneko's ability to make her own Cosplay costumes, which can be said to be at the master level.
"Them? Women?"
Eriri's attention immediately focused on the gender that Kyosuke mentioned.
"They are Kirino's online friends. I happened to go with her to an offline meeting last time, so we got to know each other. Don't worry, although they are not regular comic assistants, I think they must have beauty issues."
"How many perverts are they?"
"Why do you think so?!"
"How can we be friends if we have different otaku preferences? It's hard for me to imagine that the female gangster who likes lolita would have any real friends."
I'm sorry, Kirino. You're such a useless brother. You've been called a pervert, but I think it makes sense and I can't refute it.
PS: The first update, there will be a chapter later, those who can't wait can go to bed first. By the way, the subscription has dropped so much after just one day of rest, it seems that Mi-chan should hurry up. _(:з」∠)_
Chapter 84 Mashu & Eriri: You thought we were drawing, but we were actually...
"So, what do you think?"
Kyosuke was very sensible and didn't respond to Eriri's comments about Kirino. After all, although it was true that his sister was a pervert, it was not easy for a brother to admit it. So he skipped this stage and turned the topic directly to Eriri's comic assistant.
"Well... Mashu-chan also said that she would come to help... so there should be enough manpower. But because of the tight schedule, they may have to stay overnight at my house. If they don't mind and are interested, they can come and try. Anyway, no matter how bad they are, they are at least better than Mordred. I am lucky to have that funny guy as my assistant. Kyosuke, you don't know, just yesterday she..."
"Then let's set the default chapter division as such [328], I'll go contact those two."
Although it was very interesting to listen to Eriri talking about Mordred's dark history, time really didn't allow it. If I were to listen to all of Eriri's nonsense, I would probably have to go straight to work at the bar.
After hanging up the phone with Eriri, Kyosuke immediately called Kuroneko and Saori. Unlike Kyosuke, these two had been staying at home and had quite some free time after finishing their vacation on the island, so they agreed to Kyosuke's invitation without much thought.
After getting the two's consent, Kyousuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, he had planned to let Keibu-ji take over if they didn't agree or if there was one less person, and at most he would give her two more days of overtime pay. This otaku girl can't say anything else, but she can draw comics and origami, and even among the Heroic Spirits, there are not many who can beat her. But since both of them agreed to his request, it's really good that he doesn't need to adopt [Plan B].
After making an appointment with several parties, Kyosuke immediately ran to Eriri's house to wait for Kuroneko and Saori. However, as soon as Kyosuke stepped onto the third floor stairs, he saw Mordred squatting at the door of Eriri's studio, which made Kyosuke feel very strange. It was obviously not the girl's character to eavesdrop like this.
Normally, shouldn't this girl have rushed in shouting "Let me join in"? Now she was squatting outside the door, using a glass as a simple eavesdropping device to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, and she even laughed from time to time. Was it because I didn't bring this poor kid with me when I went on a trip with everyone else that she finally broke down?
"I said, what are you doing?"
"Hee hee~"
Kyosuke looked at Mordred, who was drooling. As an elder (who only gives out pocket money), Kyosuke decided to teach this child who never grows up a lesson of love. Thinking of this, Kyosuke wanted to pull the glass away, but unfortunately, because of the huge difference in strength between the two, Kyosuke tried his best and the glass still remained on Mordred's ear. But Kyosuke did not do anything in vain, at least Mordred finally noticed Kyosuke standing in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
Moredre looked at Kyosuke with his big, pure white (?) eyes, "Of course I was eavesdropping."
"You don't have to answer this kind of question. I can tell just by looking at it. What I want to ask is what you overheard."
"If you want to know, just listen for yourself."
With that, Mordred turned his attention back to the great cause of eavesdropping.
"..."
Kyosuke was so angry at Mordred's behavior that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but his curiosity was aroused by this bastard Mordred. So Kyosuke also secretly lay on the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. Because Kyosuke didn't have tools like a glass to catch it, the sound he heard was a little blurry, but at least he could hear clearly that the people talking were Eriri and Mashu.
"Well then, Eriri-chan. Should we get started?"
This was Mashu's voice. It seemed that she arrived earlier than him.
"Ok, no problem"
Eriri's voice sounded a little cold. Was it because she was still upset about Mashu's article?
"I wasn't very clear on the phone before, so this is what I should do, right?"
Mashu's voice sounded a little stiff, and it was obvious that she felt a little guilty towards Eriri.
"Yeah, I can't wait. When I taught you how to draw comics, I thought about it, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
After hearing what Eriri said, Mashu seemed to become suddenly even more nervous, and her voice began to tremble.
"Eri-chan…you…you're right! That's why I came here today…I won't back down."
As if she had made up her mind, Mashu suddenly emphasized her tone: "Uh, well, let's get started... First of all... I'm not talented enough, so please bear with me, teacher."
Listening to Mashu's words, Kyosuke couldn't help but imagine Mashu placing three fingers of both hands on the ground and bowing to him solemnly.
This scene really is...it would be great if it were real.
Kyosuke finally understood why Mordred was eavesdropping. The two people in the inner room made learning to paint as easy as grinding tofu, which was really quite talented.
No matter what Kyosuke thought outside, the class inside continued.
After hearing Mash speak so formally, everyone on Eriri's side also started to get nervous.
"Okay, please give me more advice."
"..."
"..."
After a brief silence, Mashu spoke first: "Ah - but what should I do now? This is my first time, so it might not go smoothly."
"Well... because it's my first time teaching others... we're all the same..."
"Is that so?"
"Yes... yes, and there are also issues with coloring and so on... So, this class will probably not go too smoothly, but let's all do our best."
"Is that so...Okay, I understand."
Coloring? Are you learning how to make color pages for comics?
Kyosuke was a little curious about what Eriri said. What could be so important that even Eriri was so cautious.
However, Mashu, one of the protagonists, is now slowly getting into the state.
Because it was the first time for both of them, Mashu relaxed a lot. After all, it was really great that she didn't have to take the blame for making a fool of herself. Mashu felt all the pressure was released at once.
Eriri cleared her throat a little and said, "Well then - shall we get started?"
"Okay, I know. Could you please dim the lights a bit? I'm worried about the neighbors outside, but if I'm under the lights like this, I still feel a little...
"Yeah, I see. Hmm...it's softer than I originally thought."
"Why do you say that? Your stuff is obviously better than mine, it's just like cotton candy..."
What is this talking about? Eraser?
“Is… is that so?” Mashu was a little skeptical of Eriri’s words. “Ah, then… you can’t touch me like that – please be more gentle…”
What are you touching? Why are you still groaning when you are learning complementary colors?
Kyosuke felt that his three views were collapsing, so in order to preserve his remaining dialectical thinking, he decided to just walk in and interrupt this strange [class].
"I say, you two, aren't you just flirting with each other? Why are you saying things in such a cheesy way—huh?"
Kyosuke turned the doorknob and walked in. He got goosebumps when the two people were discussing the coloring issue so blatantly. But what Kyosuke saw was not the two beautiful girls discussing the details of the comics at the table. Although they were still the two of them, they were lying on the camp beds that were originally prepared for people to rest. Mashu was below and Eriri was above. Both of them were lying there naked with holy light in their eyes. Eriri was holding a sketch pen and a small piece of manuscript paper in her hand.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Kyosuke was stunned for two seconds and then immediately closed the door again.
However, Kyosuke's reaction was obviously quick. At least the two people inside realized what had just happened after half a minute. Then Kyosuke heard thunderous shouts coming from the room.
"Kyo...Kyosuke!!"
"senior!!!!"
