The only male protagonist in variety comics

"Kato, let me tell you, this light novel is super good! Well, especially its illustrations, which are undoubtedly provided by Fantasia's best current artists."

In a coffee shop in Chiba City, Eri is holding a light novel produced by Antasia Bunko and talking to Kato Megumi with excitement. Kato

Megumi looked accustomed to it, holding her head and weakly promised.

"Yes, yes, teacher Eri Kashiwagi is the strongest"

"Tsk, perfunctory."

Yinglili curled her lips and flipped through the light novel in her hand.

This is a library book that she is entirely responsible for providing illustrations for. The significance is very special.

In the past, due to academic restrictions, she spent a lot of time When she had time to play games and read novels, Eiriri could only draw limited illustrations. For a long time, she relied on Sayuri's help to complete the library's illustration needs. There were also many times when she would take turns to collaborate with other illustrators on light novels. Picture provided.

And the book that Yinglili is holding at the moment is a rare light novel that she can achieve all the pictures provided by one person.

Yinglili has greatly reduced her entertainment time for this reason. She also worked hard during the previous vacation. This volume of light novel means a lot to her.

While Kato Megumi drank AA’s coffee silently, she tilted her head in confusion.

"This is the latest volume of Sword Art Online. There are many people in the school talking about related topics... You are really awesome for being able to provide pictures for it. However, if you really want to find someone with the same interests, wouldn't it be better to reveal your identity to them?"

Eiri is a popular figure in Toyosaki Academy.

And if she discloses her identity as Kashiwagi Eri, she may be able to reach the sky in one step and trample under her feet Kasumigaoka Shiha, who has not disclosed her identity as a light novelist, and by the way... She has a large group of loyal fans around her.

Obviously in school, Eiriri is not very averse to making friends with others. In this regard, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is different from her and seems to be very withdrawn.

"I don’t want to transform the image of an excellent student I’ve worked so hard to create into a super otaku."

"However, I remember that your English scores, Yinglili, didn’t seem to be that of an outstanding student?"

Kato Megumi, who had always been slightly troubled and had no confidence in her tone, said something that made Eiri's face freeze.

"This... uh, cough……"

"So, why did you choose to reveal your personal preferences to me? Compared to me, Kasumigaoka-san probably has a lot in common with you."

"I don't want to deal with her! If I choose you... Although it is true that you don't seem to understand the otaku culture as you said, but in terms of confidentiality, you are undoubtedly the strongest."

Facing Megumi Kato, Eiri didn't hide anything. She paused and then continued.

"The topics that everyone talks about on weekdays don't seem to be the same, and you haven't lost anything because of it, so I think that even if I tell you my preferences, you won't talk nonsense. In addition, it feels very fulfilling to think about bringing new people into the circle."

Kato Megumi's eyes wandered for a moment.

It wasn't because Eiri said she felt disappointed because she lacked a sense of presence, it was mainly because she was not actually a newcomer to otaku culture.

For some reasons, Kato Megumi deliberately learned about Fantasia Among all things related to Bunko, otaku culture is naturally included.

"Unexpectedly, Yinglili, you are quite smart at this time."

Suddenly, a third person's voice appeared.

Ying Lili's body froze, and when she heard the voice, she stepped away. After seeing the other person's figure clearly, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Why is it you again!"

It was Yuki Rito who spoke.

He returned to Chiba from Gensokyo and happened to teleport nearby. He saw Eri and Kato Megumi getting together and was a little curious.

Yuki Rito had been listening for about ten minutes. There is no doubt that Yinglili is just holding back.

As an excellent illustrator, she cannot reveal her identity due to her personality. She even dares not to disclose her own preferences, and she has no friends with whom she can really chat about interesting things. , after discovering some of Kato Megumi’s outstanding qualities, he took the initiative to interact with him.

"The last time I saw you was a few days ago, so it's better not to use the word 'again'."

Yuki Rito slightly responded to Eiri's words, then looked at Kato Megumi, with a completely different attitude, smiled and said

"I haven’t seen you for a while, Megumi-chan."

In response, Kato Megumi blinked.

"It feels like I have many different names with you"

"Sage Megumi and Megumi-chan are both nicknames. If you don't like them, I can change them."

The relationship between Kato Megumi and Yuuki Rito has long been more than just friends.

It's just because Yuuki Rito is often involved in other things, and Kato Megumi has a happy-go-lucky feeling, that they haven't made substantial progress.

However , , there is naturally no problem with this level of intimate interaction.

On the contrary, Eri curled her lips.

The few times she and Yuuki Rito met, there was always a beautiful girl next to the other party, and now, Yuuki Rito rarely appeared alone, but she seemed to have a close relationship with Kato Megumi.

Even though she knew that the other party had caught a lot of things about her, Eiri couldn't help but complain.

"Compared to the innocence of the protagonist in your book, you seem to be very experienced in reality, Kayaba Akihiko-sensei."

In the end, Eri said every word.

She originally thought that Kato Megumi didn't know Yuki Rito's identity, but looking at the other party's reaction, the truth seemed to be different from what she expected.

But it doesn't matter, Eri Li originally just wanted to complain.

"In reality, I have not concealed my temperament. I am honest and worthy of praise. But Eiriri, the illustrations you draw are all in an otaku style. In reality, you deliberately keep a distance from otaku culture in school. It is really hypocritical."

"you?!"

Facing Yuuki Rito's speech, Eiri was extremely angry, but was shocked to find that she couldn't refute._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download it
