Chapter 129 Poor Yinglili

Two days! It’s been two full days!
She has no idea how to write the follow-up plot of "Metronome of Love" so that it can catch up with or even surpass "April".

The hustle and bustle around her made her have the urge to blow up the school, and she couldn't think calmly at all.

Of course, even if she returns home and locks herself in her room, away from all the noise around her, she may not be able to find ideas and inspiration, but it's better than what she is doing now, right?

"Ask for leave! You must ask for leave! Go now!"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu put down her hands, pressed them on the table, and stood up in a flash.

but
"What excuse should I give?"

“It’s unrealistic to have a serious illness, and you can’t take leave to go home if you have a minor illness.”

"The most important thing is that I look so good. It doesn't look like I'm sick, right?"

Just when Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought of this, a face that was sweet and cute in the eyes of most boys, but hateful and disgusting in her eyes, appeared in front of her.

Yinglili proved with practical actions that she was really just a rookie with a sharp tongue. No matter how hard she practiced, she could not be Kasumigaoka Shiyu's opponent.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu once again had a black streak on her head.

"My comic sales increased by 187 yesterday, while your light novel only increased by 114! At this rate, it won't be long before my comics surpass your light novel!"

Opposite Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but have a black line on her forehead.

And because Hasumi Kanoko really meant well, the same content would be much more harmful than if it came from Eiri's mouth.

However, what she didn't know was that Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt equally uncomfortable listening to what she said behind her.

As for what the teacher said on the podium...well...is it important to a talented girl who is destined to become a best-selling comic book artist?
"correct."

"Ask for leave?"

When Eriri found out that she did not return to the classroom after lunch break, out of curiosity, she ran to Kanoko Hasumi during the break to ask, and found that she had guessed the 'truth'. She was suppressed by Kasumigaoka Shiha's poisonous tongue. The depression was instantly swept away, and my heart felt happy again.

"Thank you, Hasumi-sensei!"

"Haha, it seems that I guessed it right! That guy was worried that his sales would be overtaken by my comics, so he was so anxious that he had a secretion disorder. That's why his face has been so ugly in the past two days~"

"Ah? Why do you look so ugly? Could it be that relatives are here?"

"Humph!"

then
"Teacher! I want to ask for leave!"

This time, she undoubtedly has one more reason to make "Metronome of Love" more interesting and popular.

Listening to "Sold Out" playing on loop in the headphones, Ying Lili's whole body was on fire, and all kinds of inspirations in her head were constantly bursting out at this moment.

"Want me to get you a glass of hot water?"

Ying Lili clenched her fists subconsciously, and the anger couldn't stop rising from her body, and finally gathered at her forehead, turning into a big hash mark.

The most important thing is that she looks like she is in pain when a relative comes to visit?

Unfortunately, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had already bypassed her and left the classroom before she could finish speaking.

Not to be outdone, Yinglili presented the data.

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Kasumigaoka Shiyu first took advantage of the height difference, condescendingly, glanced at Eiri with a look between ignorance and contempt, and then said in a cold and arrogant manner, casually: "You draw. If I could be as good as your mouth, the sales volume of your fan comic would not be more than a thousand less than that of my light novel~"

Just when she felt that she looked good, Yinglili came over and complained about her poor complexion. If she hadn't known that it was impossible, she would have thought that Yinglili had become smarter and could actually see what she was thinking.

It can only be said that Kasumigaoka Shiu is indeed Kasumigaoka Shiu, and Eiri is still the same person who is addicted to food and will never die if she doesn't do it.

"But you don't seem to be here these days, right?"

"The person singing this song "Sold Out" seems to be a handsome guy from Katagiri High School next door?"

"."

"Are you visiting relatives? Go back and have a good rest. Remember to drink more hot water. If the pain is really severe, go see a doctor. Don't bear it."

Depressed and already irritable, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't bother to explain. Anyway, for her now, as long as she can take time off to come home.

This kind of indifference made Yinglili furious again.

However, this is different for Yinglili.

"When the sales of my comics exceed the sales of her novels, let's see how she still looks so condescending in front of me!"

Two minutes later, Hasumi Kanoko, who was grading the last small test paper in the office, was stunned for a moment when she saw Kasumigaoka Shiu who was rushing to ask for leave. Then, before waiting for Kasumigaoka Shiu to tell her reasons, she made a move with Eiriri. Made the same guess.

Although she didn't know what had happened to Kasumigaoka Shiyu in the past two days, as a 'dead enemy', she was certainly very happy to see Kasumigaoka Shiyu in a bad mood!

Yinglili came over pretending to be surprised, her big eyes flashed with a teasing smile, and she asked with false concern.

"Hey, is it because your metronome score is about to be caught up with me, so you are under too much pressure, causing secretion disorders to be advanced?"

It was obvious that she had brought it up first, and that she had been prepared before she opened her mouth to find trouble, but when Kasumigaoka Shiyu complained about the poor sales of her comics in this manner and in this tone, she still couldn't help but feel a little defensive. .

"But I can't be proud yet, I have to keep working hard."

"."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was in a bad mood, you thought you had found an opportunity?

Although she doesn't seem to care on the surface, if the sales volume of Yinglili's "niche fan comic" really exceeds that of the love light novel she "painstakingly" created, then she will be depressed at least until the summer vacation!

"Well, the character setting of a high school student and a genius original singer is just right to be added to my comics."

"I just don't know what this handsome guy looks like and how handsome he is."

"It would be nice if I could see his photo."

"Ah!"

On the other side of the class, Iura Hide, who was concentrating on watching videos, suddenly sneezed inexplicably.

But he didn't pay attention. He just rubbed his nose casually and glanced up at the teacher on the podium. Seeing that the teacher didn't seem to notice his little movement, he planned to continue watching the video tutorial.

Well, this time it’s really a video tutorial.

After all, after sending Mashiro home from school, he will go to a training class. If you don’t roughly grasp the content in the video, what if you can’t even understand the most basic things the teacher said?
But at this moment, a new message suddenly popped up on the screen of the phone.

"Ah? Sato?"

"Except for Iori Hashishima, I haven't heard about the other people you asked me to inquire about. They probably aren't from our school."

Iura Hide was stunned for a moment after seeing the content of the message, and then realized that what it said should be that he asked Sato to help find out whether the matter between Aki Toruya and Kato Megumi existed.

"If Aryunya and Megumi Kato exist, they should be in the same school as Eiriri and Kasumigaoka Shiu. Otherwise, Aryun will not be able to form 'Blessing Software'."

"Since that guy Sato didn't ask about them, it seems like they don't exist anymore."

"But that guy Iori Namishima actually exists."

Iura Hide couldn't help but frowned when he saw Hashishima Iori's name.

This guy is probably equivalent to the character Mitaka Jin in "Sakurasou". Although he likes otaku culture, he is not addicted to it. Instead, he is usually a current person who pays attention to appearance, likes to be handsome, and is wise and dark on the inside. .

Although he is not like Mitaka Jin, who has a different partner every day, seven days a week, he usually changes his girlfriend every one or two weeks, and he is a very carefree Neptune.

Compared with Tomoya Aki, who has the halo of the protagonist and is loved by many beauties such as Eri Riri and Kasumigaoka Shiu, characters like Hamishima Iori are the normal ones and the most popular among girls.

just
"In the fusion world dominated by the pure love series "Hori and Miyamura", it always feels a little weird to have a flirtatious King of the Sea. After all, Mitaka Jin doesn't even exist, so this guy shouldn't exist either, right? ?”

Iura Hide couldn't help but touch his chin.

But then he didn't care anymore. After all, compared to Mitaka Jin, even though he is such a scumbag, there are still important female partners with whom he has always been infatuated. Those who like Hamishima Iori are all people who don't even have names. Just passersby.

Anyway, as long as Kasumigaoka Shiu and Eiri didn't suddenly fall in love with this guy, it would be fine.

"By the way, if Iori Hashishima exists, then his sister Izumi Hashishima should also exist, right?"

"Tsk tsk, that is a doujin manga artist who is more talented and powerful than Eiriri. I don't know how far behind Mashiro is."

"By the way, search online."

While thinking about it, Iura Hide opened the browser on his mobile phone and searched online for Izumi Hashishima and Eri Kashiwagi's pen name.

As a result, I don’t know whether Hashima Dekai has not debuted yet, or because he has debuted and does not use his real name, so he was not found in the search.

On the contrary, the name "Kashiwagi Eiri" has seven or eight works now.

only.
Among them, the best one, which is the latest work, has a total sales volume of just over 2500 copies. If calculated based on the average volume sales, it is only copies.

The earliest one only has 249 volumes.

Well, it’s really a little less than 250.

Although the total sales volume of "Love Metronome" by Shiu Kasumigaoka is just over 10,000, it doesn't seem to be much more.

But in terms of average sales volume, it is much better than Yinglili.

"Poor Yinglili. Sure enough, even if An Yilun is gone, he will still be suppressed by senior sister~~"

"Ah!"

Yinglili, who was in the midst of a "bloody struggle", suddenly sneezed.

But the poor girl didn't know that the singer she had recently become a fan of was complaining about her, and she just thought it was because the smell of pollen coming in from the window was too strong.

If she knew about it, she would be so angry that she would immediately delete all the recommendations and praise for Iura Hide, "Night Dance" and "Sold Out" on her personal updates!
Of course, Iura Hide didn't just complain.

Out of curiosity, Iura Hide still contributed two sales to her work.

One of them helped her successfully increase the total sales of CN works to the auspicious number of 250, while the other helped her latest work successfully shorten the gap a little bit with Kasumigaoka Shiu's "Love Metronome".

Then he discovered that Eiriri's painting skills were actually not bad. With her own talent and so many years of hard work, although she was still not as good as Mashiro, she could restore the painting style of Makoto Shinkai with just a simple description. He is a world-class genius, but he also has the average level of a professional cartoonist.

In the category of fan comics, he can barely be considered a 'popular artist'.

It's just that in terms of plot design and character dialogue, it's really just ordinary.

In addition, perhaps due to the constraints of the fan comics themselves, her style of painting also lacks a bit of spirituality and her own characteristics, so it is difficult to go further.

Of course, it would still be good if you just view her works as pure Gong K comics. After all, Gong K comics don’t need a very exciting plot, right?
"But the degree of astringency is still not as good as the work of Mr. Eromanga that I saw last time." Iura Hide watched with relish while giving 'objective' evaluations in his mind from time to time.

If Yinglili is considered a popular artist in Goku fan comics, then Eromanga-sensei can be considered the 'top master' in this category.

"Ah!"

Poor Yinglili couldn't help but sneeze again.

But Iura Hide, who was watching with gusto, seemed to have forgotten that this was a classroom, and it was still class time.

Use your phone to peek at GongK comics in class
Although the teacher who was giving the lecture ignored him, Sakura Kono would peek at him from time to time while she was concentrating on taking notes.

The table between the two people was probably about sixty centimeters apart. Although the dialogue between the characters could not be seen clearly from this distance, it was still okay to see the picture.

"Oh my God! Iura-kun, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, actually read that kind of manga in class!?"

Sakura Kono was shocked when she discovered this secret.

It's not that she can't understand that boys can read this kind of comics, but it's too bold to read it in class! ?
Well, if it had been any other boy, she would have complained in her heart that she was disgusting.

But if it was Iura Hide, her eyes had their own filters. After the shock, she felt a little shy and curious.

Although girls often read more niche comics than boys and are more obsessed with them, she comes from a well-known family, has a strict upbringing, and has always followed the rules. She has never seen anything like this.

so.
"Is the kind of post-G manga Iura-kun reads?"

"Is it possible that his love interest was also influenced by these comics?"

"Then in order to understand Iura-kun better and have more topics in common with Iura-kun. Do you want me to go and see it too?"

This somewhat crazy idea to her had just come out of her head, and it was already so frightening that her face turned red and her heart beat, and she couldn't help but clasp her legs.

Fortunately, the bell rang at this time, so she quickly stopped and continued to think wildly.

But then she suddenly discovered another very important problem.

That is.
"Oh my god! Why are Iura-kun still looking? What if someone finds out? How can I remind him?"
