Summary: The president of the student council is a big guy

In a café that is not high-end, but is favored by young people because of its cheap goods and quieter environment, Eiri took a sip of the coffee that Shiwa Kasumigaoka ordered for herself in advance, frowning because of its bitterness, and asked without anger while constantly adding sugar to it.

“You want me to be your illustrator, isn’t it just a whim? A volume of light novels requires about ten illustrations, which is a lot of work. As a light novel author, if you want to complete a light novel, you need to write a full 100,000 words, there is also a demand for inspiration, and there is still a lot of work to sign a contract for distribution, if it is just a whim, I advise you to give up. ”

On the way to the café, Eiri specially prepared a lot of words, wanting to make Kasumigaoka Shiwa retreat.

In school, Yingli has always played a cheerful and enthusiastic role that has nothing to do with otaku culture, and has established a network of relationships and several good friends.

Although she is only a good friend in name, she has not reached the level of best friends, and during the holidays, Eiri will politely refuse their shopping invitations and go to stores selling video games or light novels and manga alone, but she still does not want to lose those friends, nor does she want to collapse the image she has so hard created.

Therefore, Eiri must avoid revealing her identity as a doujin artist in Toyonosaki Gakuen, where she is studying.

She wants to make Shiha Kasumigaoka retreat, and from then on she will minimize the intersection with the other party.

“I said my pen name before, didn’t you go out of your way here to search for it on the Internet? This is the first volume of a light novel I wrote, and it has been on sale for a while, although it has sold poorly. ”

Shiwa Kasumigaoka directly put the first volume of his love metronome in front of Eiri Ri.

This move made Eiri stunned, her eyes wandering back and forth on the physical light novel and Kasumigaoka Shiwa in front of her.

She didn’t expect that this senior sister, who had always shown herself as a high-cold student in Toyonosaki Gakuen, was also a lover and creator of otaku culture.

In a sense, Shiwa Kasumigaokaoka, who is already a light novelist, is even more exaggerated than herself who is just a fan artist.

Can you use it as a handle like the other party?

It doesn’t seem to work.

In Yingli’s impression, Shiwa Kasumigaoka did not deliberately deal with interpersonal relationships, nor did he deliberately create the image of a perfect student.

Eiri still remembers that when she had just entered Toyonozaki Gakuen, Shiwa Kasumigaoka gave a speech to the new students as an outstanding student representative and senior sister, and at that time, she was openly dozing off before she stepped onto the stage, causing some small farces.

I guess I doze off when I write a light novel while finishing school.

Eiri, who linked the current situation with the past, suddenly felt that Shiwa Kasumigaoka was not as annoying as she thought.

In a sense, she is her own fan and the creator of otaku culture like herself.

However, after a few minutes, Ying Li’s attention was completely in another place.

“What, this love metronome looks like a fantasy work of a guy who has never been in love, no wonder on the basis of not too bad pen power, sales are so low that even I, a master of otaku culture, have never heard of it.”

After roughly browsing the words spoken by Eiri Ri in the first volume of the Love Metronome, Shiwa Kasumigaoka smiled.

A cold and hard smile.

“So, is Hideri Kashiwagi also a master of love? No wonder past works have always been famous for their color style. ”

“It’s not!”

Eiri originally wanted to make some corrections to the “color style” in Kasumigaoka Shiwa’s mouth, but thinking of his original purpose, he did not say much on this point.

“I haven’t been in love, but I’ve read enough light novels and manga with love elements, and I’ve cleared a lot of Galgames with ‘Full CG Collection’, so it’s easy to see the shortcomings of your work.”

Ying Li Li knows that she is so direct in pointing out the shortcomings of her works, if not close friends, it is actually a bit rude.

However, Shiwa Kasumigaoka threatens herself first, in order to avoid going to the end of too much involvement with the other party, Eiri does not care about her feelings now.

“So, you better give up, at least until you really fall in love, or before you read more love works, give up being a light novelist.”

It takes a year or two to accumulate, and by that time Shiwa Kasumigaoka has just graduated from Toyonosaki Gakuen.

Eiri, who said so as if she was a senior, was secretly proud of her cleverness, but to her surprise, Shiwa Kasumigaoka took out her laptop and turned the computer screen to Eiri.

“This is the prologue to the second volume of the love metronome I wrote, you see how it goes.”

“……”

Yingli was silent for a moment.

As a creator of otaku culture, she can’t completely ignore the hard work of others.

The love metronome is not too bad, but in the case of Shiyu Kasumigaoka as a top student, it is clear that there is such a better option as continuing his studies, and it is not worth putting his mind elsewhere.

Speaking of which, the other party has already completed the first volume of the light novel before, nearly 100,000 words, and can still maintain the first grade in the grade, this is too terrible, right?!

After a brief period of crankiness, Eiri set her eyes on the text on the screen, intending to continue to point out the shortcomings as before.

Then, unknowingly, she instead plunged into the story described by Shiwa Kasumigaoka, and changed from a cursory glance to a careful reading.

The same minutes passed.

It’s just that the previous minutes were used to quickly browse through a whole volume of light novel content of nearly 100,000 words, but now the minutes are used to read a prologue with only a few thousand words.

“The speed of progress in your writing is really terrifying, is this the world of Xueba?”

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to be able to let yourself involuntarily plunge into the story just by relying on the writing….

Ying Li Li, who came back to her senses, had a complicated expression.

“There’s a deeper reason for this.”

Although the guild leader did not specifically want to hide the existence of the Ten Thousand Realms Guild, out of basic caution, Kasumigaoka Shiwa still chose to keep it secret.

Speaking in response to Eiri’s emotion, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked into the other party’s eyes.

“So, can you be the illustrator for the second volume of my light novel?”

“With this kind of writing, whether it’s traditional literature or other types of light novels, you’re going to get better results than this love metronome that doesn’t start perfectly, aren’t you going to give it up?”

“It’s my first work.”

“…… Well, okay, you win. ”

As a lover of otaku culture, seeing the appearance of fellow friends and seeing that the other party shows love for the work, Yingli can no longer continue to refuse.

And, of course, the reason why she’s in a threatened state, and why Love Metronome Volume 2 is good enough.

This is a light novel so good that Eiri is secretly happy to be its illustrator.
