Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"What's the plan? Of course I'm going to set up stalls and sell them out instantly!"

Listening to those words full of concern, Yinglili turned her head, her golden braid spinning in the air as she moved, and a proud and confident voice came from the girl's mouth.

…

Hojo Kyousuke was speechless as he looked at Eiriri's proud raised head. If he hadn't received Mrs. Sayuri's request for help, he would have almost believed it.

It was the afternoon a few days ago. He was practicing in the kendo club when he suddenly received such a message.

"Kyosuke-kun, Lily is really nervous about this fan exhibition, can you come and see her." - Aunt Sayuri

nervous? Yinglili is also nervous? Hojo Kyosuke was a little in disbelief for a moment. Eiri, who has 1.2 million confidence in her drawing skills, will be nervous because of a small budding fan show? It's really incredible.

"Is the work not finished yet?"

He could only think of this possibility. After all, the last time he went to Yinglili's house, the other party looked like he was pressed for time. Later, when he recalled it, he thought of this matter. For this reason, he felt sorry for delaying Yinglili for so long. time to feel guilty.

“For this reason, the work that I planned to exhibit in the exhibition was actually almost completed, but Lily suddenly said that she wanted to prepare a new work, so it would be too late.

But even when she was rushing to work, Lily was doing exercises according to your instructions Kyousuke-kun (smiling emoticon). "

Do you want to overthrow the previous work and start over again when the date is approaching? As expected, it is Yinglili. Seeing this, Hojo Kyousuke nodded clearly. In a certain aspect, Yinglili's character is as straightforward as a child, and of course she is also as willful as a child.

That's right, that arrogant character is actually as easy to understand as a child to someone. Perhaps in the eyes of others who don't understand her, she is a girl who can fall out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book and likes to hold grudges. But in fact, she didn't hold grudges at all. Just like before, she was obviously angered by her own prank, but she immediately forgave her as soon as she heard the apology. Such a character is really adorable.

Like a good boy, easy to fool...

And for such a girl, Hojo Kyousuke can completely understand the occasional whimsical willfulness.

"Then what can I do?" he asked directly.

"What Robin and I are worried about is not that the work won't be completed on time. In the end, it's not a big deal even if we don't participate in this fan exhibition. But with Lily's character, she will still be able to complete the work even if she doesn't sleep for a week, but we will keep an eye on her and let her Have a good rest."

Although Mrs. Sayuri still didn't explain what she was really worried about, Hojo Kyosuke had already thought of it. Because it was her first time selling her own doujinshi, a certain proud and confident young lady was nervous. But yes, Ying Lili is a person who looks strong on the outside, but is actually very soft on the inside. No matter how confident you are in your work, it’s normal to feel nervous at times like this.

Alas, so it seems that Kasumi Shiko-sensei whom Onizuka mentioned, "Love Metronome" is also her first work, right? No wonder I want to thank you in person.

"Understood, I'll come over."

"I'm not that anxious. It's just that this work has something to do with you, Kyosuke-kun, so I thought Lily might not be so nervous if I came here." - Aunt Sayuri

? ?

What does it mean to have a relationship with me? Oh, by the way, are you planning to start a new work influenced by "One Punch Man"? Hojo Kyosuke guessed.

"I know, I will go there anyway."

"Then it's up to you, Kyosuke-kun." - Aunt Sayuri

"You're too kind."

After finishing the chat, Hojo Kyousuke was already thinking about whether to let that idiot Onitsuka Eikichi come over to support him when the time comes. After all, he has experience. "Metronome of Love" was so exciting that it suddenly became a hit after no one paid attention to it. Yinglili might have become frustrated and bent forward before she could wait for the turning point, turning into a gray character with a negative ghost floating above her head.

But it’s not that pessimistic. After all, doujinshi is different from novels. With Ying Lili’s drawing skills, anyone with good eyesight will know it is a good work after seeing it. It should be said that it is the kind of work that can be purchased without thinking even if you only look at the pictures without looking at the content. And if this kind of behavior was known to Yinglili, she might not be very happy because of her pride.

In short, everything must be based on Eri Riri's work. If it is a good work that even a half-hearted person like Hojo Kyosuke can recognize, then use conventional promotion methods. If you really think that the time is too tight but the quality is not enough, you will have to resort to special means. At worst, you can just do it more covertly.

Back in time, looking at the confident girl, Hojo Kyosuke did not say anything about Mrs. Sawamura asking for help, but said naturally:

"Then let me, the chief promoter, get familiar with the works to be sold."

He stretched out his hand towards Eiri.

"It's noisy! Anyone who wants you to promote it will just tell you to watch the exhibition carefully."

"You haven't drawn it yet, have you?"

Hearing this suspicious voice, the blond man immediately became furious, and his blue eyes actually contained something that seemed to be contempt.

"Huh? Who do you think I am? How could I, Sawamura Spencer Eri, not finish the work when there are only two days left for the fan exhibition?"

The girl seemed to have been greatly insulted, her fair little face turned red, she turned around and looked at Hojo Kyousuke and said, her little tiger teeth bared, and she said:

"What an idiot to say such outrageous things, idiot, idiot, idiot."

"So, you really haven't finished it yet, right? Two days before the exhibition, ah no, I should say one day ago." Hojo Kyosuke decisively pointed out.

"That's a long way to go! How can you say that the creator's affairs are not finished? A truly mature author will finish the work one second before the deadline. Works written without a sense of urgency will not have the power to touch the readers' heartstrings! "

Ying Lili waved the envelope she had been holding in her hand, with unquestionable firmness in her tone.

Fortunately, Hojo Kyosuke is a person who has been baptized by Sakura's crooked truths since he was a child, otherwise he might have truly believed her words.

"So, how much has been completed?" He said in a calm tone, ignoring the arrogant girl.

"It was almost finished, but I just had a new idea." Eri stopped Fukuzawa Yukichi from waving in her hand, turned her head and looked at the ceiling and whispered.

"Hahaha, you really have a lot of ideas." Hojo Kyosuke was instantly amused by Eiri's words. She may not be an employee that the boss likes, but she is definitely cute enough.

"Why are you laughing? You can't stop this feeling of inspiration, you..." At this point, Yinglili, who was about to fight back, was stunned and closed her mouth.

You, someone who has already decided to serialize comics, wouldn’t understand? How can I still say these words, Kyousuke has already become a creator first!

"Okay, I completely understand, and I don't mean to laugh at you. I just think the way you strive to improve your work is cute and worthy of admiration, Eiriri." Hojo Kyosuke said.

Hearing this, Eirili stood up as if she was frightened, and walked towards her workbench with her back to Hojo Kyousuke. As she walked, the sound of her trying to suppress some emotion came over.

"I'll try my best to say nice things. Do you think I will be happy when I hear such words? What an idiot!"

Yes, yes, I see that you really don’t like hearing such words. I will say more next time.

Hojo Kyosuke shrugged, stood up and followed.

"Well, this is the part that has been completed so far. The main thing I want to modify is the character design of the male protagonist."

Hojo Kyosuke took the drawing handed over by Eri and looked through it. It seemed that Eri was still more accustomed to hand-drawing. In the past, she used a digital tablet to accommodate herself.

Wait, what did I do? How could you show this guy such a thing! ? After handing over the drawing, Yinglili realized what she had done. He wanted to snatch the drawing back, but wouldn't it look more suspicious?

The girl who was still looking forward to the evaluation immediately moved sideways like a crab from the work table to the sofa, randomly pulled out a game and started playing it, trying to separate herself from her painting through this behavior.

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Eiriri's actions in confusion. Isn't time already very tight? Why did you start playing games again? So are all creators so free and uninhibited?

He shook his head and focused on the drawing in his hand. However, why did the cover seem a bit familiar?

A man with a bare upper body was holding a girl in a princess dress with twin tails.

Isn't this what Yingli was drawing when I came last time? However, due to coincidence, part of the drawing was torn into pieces and the boy's face could not be seen clearly. But now he could see it clearly, but after seeing it clearly, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but turn his head and look at Erili on the other side of the sofa.

Ding

A voice seemed to come from the void, and their eyes met.

The sapphire-like eyes of someone who was lying on the back of the sofa and peeking out instantly shrank into bean-like shapes, and his pretty fair face turned red visibly. Then he turned around and grabbed the handle and pressed it frantically. , the game screen on the TV screen also switched rapidly.

"Hahaha, this game is so fun." He sounded happy but could not hide his guilt.

"I said, Yinglili, you didn't draw the male protagonist's face after me, did you?"

"Hahaha, this NPC is so funny." Someone seemed to be completely immersed in the game and suddenly increased the volume of the game.

"..." Well, there's no need to ask anymore.

Hojo Kyosuke turned to the first page and saw a familiar bookstore. With the girl's exquisite drawing skills, he instantly recognized it as the bookstore where he bought comics in Akihabara and met Eri for the first time. Although the heroine's face is different, the plot of the subsequent doujinshi is basically exactly the same as what happened when the two met.

It wasn't until I got home that there was a slight difference. No, what does "slightly" mean? He, Kyousuke Hojo, didn't take advantage of his hidden otaku side of the beautiful girl to coerce her into doing such and such things! Although there is no specific picture drawn, the blank space has already increased the eroticism level!

"Hey, Yinglili, even if you use my face as the prototype of the male protagonist, why do you still look so inappropriate for children? Also, the male protagonist you said before needs to be modified. You are not planning to use what I just told you. How about adding the bad things into it?”

Based on the plot he just watched, Hojo Kyousuke could no longer imagine how bad the male protagonist with a bad identity would be, let alone the direction of the plot next. So it’s my first time drawing a doujinshi, so I’m trying to be more restrained, right? Or is this already a very convergent result?

"Hey, what a shame! You're a perverted narcissist! What do you mean by using you as a prototype? It's normal for writers to use you as a prototype."

The girl was still sitting on the sofa with her back turned, watching TV. Her voice could no longer be heard as guilty, and she sounded confident.

"This is no longer a matter of material selection. I feel that my reputation has been violated."

"Huh? Being able to appear in my works is an honor that no one else can even hope for!"

The girl finally turned around, put her hands on the back of the sofa, knelt on the cushion and said loudly. Although her face was red, she still stubbornly bared her little fangs and glared fiercely at Hojo Kyosuke with her blue eyes.

"If that's the case, then why don't you prototype the heroine's face and figure yourself?" Hojo Kyosuke patted the drawing in his hand and asked. Although the heroine is still blond, even if you don't mention the face, just look at the explosive figure. It has nothing to do with Yinglili.

"Ha!? That's just what I drew, okay! It's just a certain amount of artistic processing! No, why should I explain this to you? Return it to me quickly!"

As the girl spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Hojo Kyousuke, and her five slender fingers spread wide and reached hard.

Looking at Eiriri's body stretching out from the sofa, Hojo Kyosuke already had a bad feeling.

"Be careful of falling."

"Snapped"

"Ah, it hurts -" Eiriri fell off the sofa as expected, but luckily she was caught in time by Hojo Kyosuke, who had expected it.

Oh, it's actually blue and white striped underwear. Hojo Kyousuke has never hated his keen observation skills as much as at this moment, making him seem like a pervert and blaming the system!

He promised that he never meant to watch. As soon as he realized that Yinglili was about to fall, he jumped out of the chair and used his kendo skills to cross the distance of three meters in an instant to catch Yinglili before she landed. Lived him.

The total of this series of actions does not take more than one second. How could he still have time to look between Yinglili's snow-white and slender legs...

Anyway, he is a serious person, and besides, it is not a weird system to have such keen observation!

"Okay, if you want to cry out in pain, I should be the one to cry out. After all, I am the one being pinned to the ground by you."

Looking at Eri, who had been closing her eyes and covering her head since she lost her center of gravity and fell off the sofa, with two crystal tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes and screaming in pain, Hojo Kyousuke raised a hand and touched her in front of his chest. With his little head, the blond hair still feels as good as ever, and his voice can be as soft as possible.

This girl seems to have put all her talents into painting. From the moment she lost her center of gravity to being caught by herself, she never tried to make any self-rescue movements from the beginning to the end. She just waited silently for her head to hit the ground. Although a certain In a sense, it's pretty cute.

"ah?"

Yinglili, who had wrinkled her face since she fell down, held her head with both hands, and screamed with her little fangs exposed. After hearing this, she finally opened her eyes tentatively, and finally lowered her two little hands from her head and started wandering wildly. Fumbling around.

"Well, although I can understand that as a book artist, you may not be able to distinguish the boundary between the real world and the book for a while after being frightened, but please restrain yourself a little." Feeling the pair of shoes on his chest and abdomen With his slender little hands constantly groping, Hojo Kyousuke said helplessly.

Eiriri finally saw clearly the posture of the two of them at the moment. Just as Hojo Kyosuke said, her body was pressed against Hojo Kyosuke's. She thought she was lying on the carpet with her head in her arms, but in fact she was lying on the carpet with her head in her arms. On Hojo Kyosuke's chest. Now when he opened his eyes, what he saw was Hojo Kyosuke's sharp jawline and his gentle and helpless expression.

"Ah! Idiot, pervert, pervert! What are you doing under me!"

It seemed that she had forgotten that she was still lying on top of the opponent. The girl's head went into overload in an instant, her face turned red like a bubble teapot about to emit steam, and then she entered attack mode, hitting the twin ponytails at close range. On Hojo Kyosuke's face.

"Hey, your tears and snot are getting on my clothes!"

Seeing the girl on her chest burying her face in her body again, shaking her head left and right, Kyousuke Hojo, who was slightly mysophobic, shouted in horror, no matter how beautiful a girl she is, she can't do this.

"Long-winded!"

A dull voice came from Yinglili's mouth, but she still did not raise her face. No, I have no face anymore, it’s so shameful! Ah, how could such a thing happen? Just now, I actually touched Kyousuke's body for a long time!

"Okay, if nothing else, let's continue talking about doujinshi issues." Hojo Kyosuke decisively ignored the matter, stretched out his hand through Erili's armpits and lifted her breasts up.

The girl was like a kitten being held up by the scruff of her neck, and her hair no longer frayed, and she stood up obediently with the help of Hojo Kyosuke's strength.

"First of all, the male protagonist's face must be changed. At least it needs to be artistically processed like you did. Secondly, the plot..."

"The plot must not be changed! This is the essence of this work. In addition, now that the male protagonist's identity is to be a bad character, the plot cannot be placed in the female protagonist's home. It should be that the female protagonist was taken home by the male protagonist after she was injured. Healing, and then the heroine discovered the identity of the hero and was locked up at home by the hero..."

The two sat side by side at the work table. As soon as they entered their own creative field, Yinglili instantly forgot what happened before and started talking nonstop. She also picked up the blank paper beside and started to draw a draft.

As mentioned above, Hojo Kyosuke thought that the plot was about to turn around. The person being coerced changed from the female protagonist to the male protagonist, but the result was that the coercion turned into imprisonment. He looked at Yinglili with a subtle look, this guy...

Her handicraft-grade long golden hair is as dazzling as the sun, her snow-white and delicate skin cannot be matched by even the most exquisite porcelain, and her facial features can all be praised individually as strengths. When combined together, she is even more perfect than an anime character. This is a girl who is more like a princess than a princess, but why does she seem to become a completely different person when she talks about this comic that is not suitable for children?

All kinds of words that made people blush kept coming out of her mouth. If others heard the stories she said, they would definitely report it to the police detective immediately. Even her blue eyes seemed to have some kind of crazy color.

"that……"

"What!" Yinglili, who was immersed in fantasy, turned around suddenly, startling someone next to her.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

help?

The pencil used for drafting in the girl's hand was lightly tapped on her chin, and her sapphire eyes moved slightly. I've been the only one making a fool of myself since the beginning, and now Kyosuke you've left me the same memories!

"Just be my model. If I have a reference, I can draw much faster." The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the cute little tiger teeth seemed to tell the master's proud mood.

"If you just draw the structure of the character's movements, I can help directly. You know, I am very good at drawing this kind of thing."

"It's long-winded, things drawn like that have no soul. The author must look at things to draw the charm. And do you want to equal the money from selling this doujinshi with me? I don't mind this. ”

A series of words came out of the girl's mouth, and the aura called "Creator's Persistence" made Hojo Kyosuke decisively shut his mouth. Since when did Fukuzawa Yukichi become someone to be feared? Please apologize to him.

"The first scene is the scene where the heroine bumps into the hero."

Eri sat on a chair, using a pencil to direct Hojo Kyousuke to pose. She had already taken off her contact lenses and put on her black-rimmed glasses.

"But haven't you already painted this place?" Hojo Kyosuke stood one or two meters in front of Eiri.

"Oh no, you want me to modify the male protagonist's face. Do you know how much more work this will add to my workload?"

Having said that, although it will indeed increase the workload a lot, Eiriri still plans to follow Hojo Kyosuke's instructions and modify the male protagonist's face to become a completely different person, even the female protagonist's twin ponytails. Change it to black, long and straight. Maybe she also realized what kind of use a doujinshi like hers would be used for if someone bought it home.

"Yes." Someone agreed while recalling the original scene, leaning back slightly.

No, I seemed motionless at that time?

"Yinglili, is this okay?" He stood on one foot and raised one foot, as if he was about to fall backwards at any time. His excellent balance allowed him to complete this action well.

"Hahaha, what are you doing?" Looking at Hojo Kyosuke's movements like a street performance artist, Eiri suddenly laughed happily, and then quickly picked up the mobile phone that had been prepared to take a photo.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Take a photo and draw based on the photo later." Ying Lili said casually while looking at the photo on her phone and laughing.

"But didn't you just say that the creator only has a soul when he looks at things and draws them?"

"That's long-winded! I said that if there is a soul, there is a soul. A half-empty cartoonist like you can't understand it!" Yingli coughed twice, slightly hiding the smile on her face.

"Then the hero catches the heroine who is about to fall."

Hojo Kyosuke sighed. Since he decided to help, he should do as Eri-ri said. He leaned down, stretched out his right hand and bent his arm, making a gesture of holding something.

"No, no, there is such a small space between the arms and the chest. If they were hugged, the two of them would be kissing each other!" Ying Lili corrected, waving the pencil in her hand.

The model obediently adjusted according to her words.

"No, no, the angle of the arm is too big. If this is the case, the heroine will roll out of the hero's arms."

Adjustment

"No, no, no..."

Continue to adjust

"No, no, no..."

As a model, Hojo Kyosuke hasn't spoken yet, and the painter seems to have lost his patience.

"Oh, what an idiot!" Ying Lili stood up, her voice seemed to be trembling a little: "I will reluctantly cooperate with you."

Actually, I can also use the pillow over there to simulate it. Of course Hojo Kyosuke didn't say that, he was not a fool.

Eiri put her phone on the table, set it to video mode, started it, and then walked to Hojo Kyosuke.

"Shut up, why are you standing there stunned? Are you stunned by my beauty..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hojo Kyousuke stretched out his hand and hugged her waist, which was even slender under the outline of the dress.

"Ah——" the girl belatedly exclaimed.

Then she raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her, finally seeing Kyosuke clearly from this angle. At that time, he hugged me like this.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't realize that in Eri's original manga, in the scene where the hero hugs the heroine who is about to fall, the girl did not draw the facial expressions of the hero and heroine.

I can't remember it! Late at night, Eirili, who was painting under bright lights, scratched her blond hair in frustration. The reason why she changed the fanzine of "Little Love Rhapsody" that was originally used as her first work to the current original fanzine based on her own experience is not only because the depression in her heart was solved, nor just because The experience was truly surreal.

She really wanted to use her best method to record their acquaintance. As for the subsequent magical reform, well, how can we say that the writer's affairs are magically reformed? Once the mind is let loose, nothing can be controlled. Although the faces of the male and female protagonists have been completely changed now, Yingli will draw another collection version that belongs only to her based on the current photos and videos!

However, it was obviously such a profound encounter, but I couldn't remember it. It must be because this guy's face is so beautiful that she doesn't notice anything else at all! The girl would never admit that she was immersed in the fearful fantasy of imminent death, causing her head to become empty when she thought of this scene.

It was a dreamy encounter, with a face even more handsome than the male protagonist in the anime, a very secure arm, and a very broad back...

My head was filled with such conceptual words, and I couldn't recall the specific scene at all. That's why the girl picked her up and relived the scene. Sure enough, she was in the familiar arms. The face then and now seemed to gradually overlap, and the memories continued to emerge like breaking through the seal.

The arms around his waist that seemed to be able to support his entire body, his eyes as gentle as water, and his voice as refreshing as the clear cold wind on the ice field... What a wonderful hero driven by interest.

"Hey, Yinglili, are you okay? Why are you dazed?"

What a bullshit clear voice, the girl's pink fantasy was interrupted, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she thought unhappily.

"What a shame! I'm trying to understand the heroine's mood at that time! Come on, the princess hug is coming next!" The girl's squeamish voice was full of displeasure, but a snow-white slender calf was already raised, waiting for someone's embrace.

In fact, you don't need to use "heroine" to refer to yourself, I can understand it completely. Groaning in his heart, Hojo Kyousuke stretched out his left hand and passed through Erili's legs and picked her up.

Ah, this is it, a familiar feeling! As soon as she was picked up, Erili habitually buried her face on Hojo Kyosuke's chest. The smell of Hojo Kyosuke's laundry detergent or shower gel made her face immediately turn red.

Um? Why do you feel a little wet? Although it felt good, Eiri felt a little dampness on Kyousuke's chest.

"Kyosuke, why is the chest of your clothes so wet?" She reluctantly let her face leave her chest and raised her head to look at Hojo Kyosuke.

"Oh, that's probably a mixture of your tears and snot." Someone replied in a calm voice with a warm smile on his face.

"Ahhh! You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Yinglili shouted in shame, not caring that she was still in someone else's hands, and immediately launched an attack.

There will be another chapter later
