The only male protagonist in variety comics

Why did Kasumigaoka Shiu suddenly mention Machida Enko?

If Yuuki Rito had not explained the existence of Kasumigaoka Shiha to Machida Enko, maybe Machida Enoko as the editor and Kasumigaoka Shiha as the light novelist would have revealed some information during their chat, but Yuuki Rito had already told Machida Yuanzi confessed that the smart Miss Yuanzi should be tight-lipped.

When Yuuki Rito was thinking for a moment, Kasumigaoka Shiha, who had paid special attention to Yuuki Rito's expression from the beginning, had already determined that he was indeed related to the editor-in-chief.

Considering Yuuki Rito's excellent memory, the possibility of thinking because he couldn't remember clearly is extremely slim. The reason for his hesitation now is indeed the confusion caused by the discovery of the secret.

Kasumigaoka Shiha wanted to pinch Yuki Rito's arm again, but just as she was about to exert force at the same place, she was worried that Yuuki Rito would really be pinched and injured by herself, so she simply changed her arm and used what she thought was her finger. You will only feel pain and will not really leave any bruises. Repeat your previous actions.

In fact, even if Kasumigaoka Shiu uses all his strength, Yuuki Rito will not feel any pain.

Yuuki Rito sometimes still hopes that girls can be a little stupider.

After a while, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who expressed her inner dissatisfaction through this small means, said

"The president of the Rouge Club is also a long time coming."

The Rouge Club is a club that appeared when Rito Yuuki collected the original paintings for the Sword Art Online game. It provided original paintings of excellent quality and quantity, received a large amount of bonuses, and since then started a long-term cooperation with Bunko. He is responsible for the original painting work and has now gained quite a reputation in the industry. It is not an exaggeration to call him the number one among similar painting creative groups.

However, even Bunku, who has cooperated with him many times, I don’t know much about the specific information of this club. Before that, I had always contacted through the Internet.

Yuuki Rito did not expect that Kasumigaoka Shiwa would suddenly mention the Rouge Club.

"Where did you hear this news?"

Facing Yuki Rito's questioning, Kasumigaoka Shiu did not hide anything.

"The Rouge Club contacted me before and said that they hoped that I could join this club. Accordingly, in addition to guiding me in literary creation, they would also assign me a dedicated illustrator who would be better than Mr. Eri Kashiwagi and Eri. Teacher Luo Meng'a's painting style is more suitable for my love metronome."

Shiha Kasumigaoka's Love Metronome previously used illustrations by Eri Kashiwagi. Because she was burdened with a lot of work in Sword Art Online, there were many small errors in those illustrations, which were slightly different from the characters described in the light novels of Shiha Kasumigaoka. The difference is that Yuuki Rito later asked other illustrators in the library to make some changes.

It is indeed unfair to Kasumigaoka Shiu.

Although the Rouge Club's proposal sounds like a win-win situation, the mystery of the Rouge Club makes Yuuki Rito was not so easy to let down his guard, but he did not show it. Instead, he looked at Kasumigaoka Shiu and asked

"Your thoughts?"

"I want to try it, not because of the painter's problem, but because I hope it can improve my ability."

Kasumigaoka Shiha seemed very serious. She was still not sure what kind of status Yuuki Rito had in the library. She originally thought it was just because of Yuuki Rito and Tenjo, the eldest lady of the Tenjoin Foundation who acquired the library. There is a relationship with Insaki, but many things that happened afterward showed that Yuki Rito did not seem to rely on this relationship to survive in the library.

The girl did not want to stop.

"Then agree, and then ask the person in charge of that club to interview you. Then tell me the agreed place. I will be watching. A beautiful girl like you, Shiyu, suddenly heard someone contact you. To be honest I'm very worried."

The Rouge Club used the account in the library to contact Kasumigaoka Shiu. It is tentatively confirmed that he is not an imposter. The club, which has not done anything in any other aspect except providing original paintings and collecting remuneration, suddenly contacted Kasumigaoka Shiu. As a result, Yuuki Rito has no intention of letting Kasumigaoka Shiu go meet them alone.

When necessary, Yuuki Rito is not afraid to show his ugly face as a capitalist, relying on money and authority to coerce Iban Rouge Club and even directly use illusions Similar magic to prevent Kasumigaoka Shiyu from being wronged

"Rito, do you think that rouge club will really help me?"

Although she hopes to improve herself, Kasumigaoka Shiu doesn't know much about this club. She only searched for relevant information on the Internet before, and most of what she got was praise from netizens for the original paintings produced by this club. There is also wonder at how they were able to provide a large number of high-level works in such a short period of time and take advantage of the bonus set by Kayaba Akihiko.

Originally, Kasumigaoka Shiwa was planning to ask her editor, Machida Enoko, who is also the editor-in-chief of Bunko, about Rouge. It’s about the club, but now that Yuki Rito is willing to accompany him, Kasumigaoka Shiu’s original plans are naturally forgotten.

"If their literary level is the same as their painting level, it will really help you."

Yuki Rito's words made Kasumigaoka Shiu's eyes widen.

"Do you also know about painting?"

As a light novelist, Kasumigaoka Shiu didn't know much about painting. His opinions were only divided into good-looking and bad-looking. Seeing that Yuki Rito seemed to be familiar with this, Kasumigaoka Shiu was very surprised..Is this guy omnipotent?!

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Yuki Rito is not an outstanding pioneer in painting, but it is not difficult to follow others and copy excellent works by relying on the control of the body brought by strength, so he can be regarded as a good appreciator.

"Well……"

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Shiu didn't speak, Yuuki Rito continued.

"There seems to be more than one good painter under the Rouge Society. Originally, there were many people of this level in the library. However, the Rouge Society is a very skillful and capable group, so that group of painters are willing to play the role of the foundation of the high-rise building. , everyone unified the style of painting in one direction, working together to produce a masterpiece in a short period of time that would take a painter a month or even several months to complete, and then simply branded the painting as the Rouge Society, and the many painters who painted it, The outside world is still a nobody but he is willing to do it. This method of controlling people is quite powerful."
