The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

But this does not mean that otakus are accepted by the public, even if there are no serious incidents.

They can blame otakus for a whole bunch of messy things such as students' declining grades, failing to get into a good school, poor health, poor sleep quality, and so on.

"Ayase-chan, are you the kind of person who hates otakus?" "If you ask me whether I like it or hate it, then I really hate it. After all, they are otakus, and they must all be bad students with bad grades. , the kind that feeds milk to cats to disguise themselves after reading bad comics... Ah, of course I'm not talking about big brother, cartoonists and otakus are different." Realizing that Yuri Kosaka is a cartoonist, he is not the same as an otaku. When otakus are also considered linked, Ayase Aragaki added a supplementary explanation at the end.

"Ha...Why does everyone have the impression that a bad boy must feed the cat milk? What did the cat do wrong?" Yuri Kosaka had a headache, and it was not because of Ayase Aragaki's attitude towards otakus.

But why does Ayase Aragaki, who clearly doesn't like otakus, have the impression that otakus feed cats with milk? What's more, the other party's words clearly meant that otakus were equated with delinquent boys.

This is too confusing. Yuri Kosaka cannot understand why the image of feeding cats with milk is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it has become a fixed template.

"Cat?" Aragaki Ayase thought that as a manga artist, Yuri Kosaka would argue for otakus, but unexpectedly, what she heard was her views on cats, and she made a somewhat confused voice.

"Cats will get diarrhea if they drink milk. Really, why doesn't anyone correct this?" "Wha, what, cats can't drink milk?" After listening to Yuri Kosaka's explanation, Ayase Aragaki could see with the naked eye After a pause, he said something that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Kosaka Yuri was convinced that the other party must have fed milk to the cat at some point in the past.

"You can't drink it, but it depends on the dose. If you drink less, there shouldn't be any big problems, but if you feed it with milk for a continuous period of time, it won't necessarily happen." Talking about toxicity regardless of measurement is a hoax.

Although Kosaka Yuri has always said not to feed milk to cats, it is a case of feeding a lot at one time and feeding many times in a row.

It's just a very rare amount each time, or it's only drunk once after a long time, so the impact shouldn't be too much.

Of course, the best way is not to get involved at all. What Yuri Kosaka is saying now is actually to prevent the other party from getting into trouble.

Because judging from the other person's reaction, it is obvious that he is feeding a stray cat. If he is feeding a domestic cat, there is a high probability that he knows this common sense.

Even if you don’t know, as long as you see the cat running away after feeding milk, you will definitely look for the reason.

Very few people will continue to feed their pets in the original way despite having problems with their pets at home.

"That's it, damn it, then why do those people arrange the plot like this? What should people like me do if they believe that something happened to the cat?" "Well, I don't know... I really don't know who was the first to draw this kind of bridge. Damn, this is really too old." Although Yuri Kosaka didn't know the original source, it was so common in comics that he could probably think of the reason.

Eighty percent of the time it's because a certain cartoonist drew this kind of plot in the past to express bad tenderness.

After it becomes popular, other people will see that this operation is simple and easy to understand, and it can easily turn an originally fierce character into approachable.

Then it would be reasonable to imitate and draw similar scenes in the future, just like the old routine is still used today.

Whether the routine is old or not is not the key. Whether it is practical or not is the key. Whether it is easy to use or not is the key. Authenticity can often be left aside.

Chapter 274 Believe in me who believes in you

"I'm back." "Excuse me." Although he met Ayase Aragaki on the way, the things he wanted to buy didn't increase much. More than half an hour after leaving home, Yuri Kosaka came back with his things. Behind him Follow Ayase Aragaki.

Although Ayase Aragaki said many times that she could help carry it, with Yuri Kousaka's physical ability, she wouldn't even break a sweat while carrying such a small amount of things, so she declined the request politely.

"Welcome back, why did I hear other people's voices? Could it be that your editor is... eh, Ayase?!" Because it was his first time here, Aragaki Ayase's voice was not too loud. He was in the living room. Kosaka Kirino only vaguely heard the voices of other women.Her first reaction was the editor of Yuri Kosaka.

However, when she put down the controller and walked over to take a look, she was obviously surprised to see Ayase Aragaki coming with Yuri Kosaka.

"Ah~ Kirino, excuse me." "Eh, eh?! Why is it so early, ah, no, here

Why did you come here with him before. " Some of Kousaka Kirino's surprise was because Ayase Aragaki came too early, and some was because the other party came with Kousaka Yuri.

"This morning's work was temporarily canceled, so I came over early thinking that I would have nothing to do. I didn't expect to meet Kirino's brother." "Well, just like she said, we met on the road, but I didn't expect to meet her by chance on the road. I will be your friend Kirino... I'm going in to make lunch, you and Kirino can play." Yuri Kosaka explained after Ayase Aragaki, and then felt a little inconvenient to carry things, plus It was not too early to get up, so I carried my things and walked to the kitchen. The rest of the time was left to Kirino Kousaka and Ayase Aragaki.

"Is it such a coincidence? Oh, by the way, in this case you should have lunch here." "If Kirino and Big Brother don't mind it..." "How could such a thing happen? I don't even have time to be happy, ah, It feels like I've left Kanako behind. How about I call Kanako and ask her to also... eh?" Ayase Aragaki's early arrival was an unexpected surprise for Kirino Takasaka, but that's all. Since then, the three people who originally made an appointment have become a bit subtle.

This gave her the urge to call and ask about her other friend Kanako Kurusu.

However, before she took out the phone, Aragaki Ayase waved her hand to stop her.

"Kirino, that's Kanako. It might be okay to come on time, but it's probably not possible to ask her to come in advance. She might still be lying on the bed rolling around at this time." "Eh? That's not the case. It's already past ten o'clock now. Ah, even Kanako..." "No, Kirino, you can't underestimate Kanako. She called me out last month. I waited for a long time and she didn't come, so I called her. What did she say? , she actually said that she was letting her sleep for 5 minutes... Can you believe it? She was obviously the one who asked me to come out, but she was still sleeping." "Unexpectedly, is Kanako the kind of person who can't get up during the day?" "At least that's what it should be if it wasn't explained in advance. We're talking about the afternoon today, and she will never be able to get up in the morning." "That's it, then..." Kousaka Kirino was a little hesitant, mainly because Ayase Aragaki was here. Earlier than she thought, the games in the living room were not put away, and some things in the rooms upstairs were not put away.

"Kirino, just play your usual games with Ayase in the living room." Although Kousaka Kirino was preparing lunch in the kitchen, the kitchen was not far from them and he could fully hear the conversation between the two.

When he saw that Kirino Takasaka was trying to fool Ayase Aragaki, he spoke out.

"Hey, wait, don't say this." Yuri Kosaka's sudden voice startled Kirino Kosaka, because she kept her hobbies very separate.

When I was with Aragaki Ayase in school, I never talked about games or comics.

"Hey~~Does Kirino usually play games at home?" Yuri Kosaka's statement made Aragaki Ayase pause, because this was the first time she heard such a thing.

On weekdays, she and Kirino talked about the latest trends, new clothes and jewelry, and some odds and ends. In short, they were topics for very young women.

Games are obviously not among the preferences of young women, and they are never mentioned during daily conversations.

"This, that... Gu" Kosaka Yuri's sudden revelation made Kosaka Kirino a little overwhelmed, because she actually had no intention of discussing this kind of topic with Aragaki Ayase.

This made her look at Yuri Kosaka with a slight complaint as she didn't know how to answer. She didn't know why Yuri Kosaka would say it so easily.

"Kirino, I remember I talked to you before. It would be better not to hide some things from friends." Under normal circumstances, Kosaka Yuri wouldn't want to say more, but Aragaki Ayase was different.

Under normal circumstances, Aragaki Ayase is indeed a very good friend, but inside, the other party is a quite paranoid and stubborn person.

If Kousaka Kirino didn't hide anything from the other party and told Aragaki Ayase directly that she was an otaku, there was actually a high probability that the other party would accept it.

Others may not be able to accept what they say, but when the other person is Kirino Kousaka, Ayase Aragaki will accept it.

But if Kosaka Kirino conceals it and tries to fool him, it will be troublesome. There is a very high probability that it will turn into the scene he knows.

It's very troublesome, very difficult to do, and makes people feel sick to their stomachs.

Therefore, Kosaka Yuri must use his own method to cut off the dangerous flames from the beginning.

"Wait, wait, that's what I said before?!" "It's literally." "But..." "There is no but, Kirino, believe me, you don't need to think about right or wrong, Just believe what I say and act. I firmly believe that this is the right choice, so just believe it too. Believe that this is the right choice." "Huh?! What are you talking about? You feel so handsome when you say lines like comics. Well, the meaning is too unclear! Has your brain become weird after drawing comics for too long?" "..." Yuri Kosaka did not answer, but just stared at the other person with a trusting face.

"

Uh-huh, uh-huh, ahhhhh!Hey, it's too cunning of you not to say anything. Damn it, damn it. I can just play games with Ayase in the living room. This kind of place really makes people angry, you! ! ! "Under Yuri Kousaka's silent gaze, Kirino Kousaka was finally defeated, and sighed with Ayase Aragaki as she walked away to the game console in front of the living room.

Chapter 275 A relatively smooth pass

"The relationship between Kirino and eldest brother is really good." "Huh? How did you know that I have a good relationship with him." "The conversation just now?" "Gu..." Takaba Kirino was a little unable to reply. I want to say something to refute, but since this is the living room, it is very close to the kitchen.

We could have barrier-free conversations in the entrance corridor just now, so it's not a problem here.

So although he wanted to retort and say something, after seeing Yuri Kosaka who was busy cooking inside, he hesitated twice and said nothing.

"But it's a bit surprising that Kirino actually likes to play games..." Kirino Kousaka was a little lucky that the game console in the living room was stuffed with games by Yuri Kousaka.

Even though Kosaka Yuri said that, if she was suddenly seen playing a game as high as Real Girl Annihilation, she didn't think things would be as easy as Kosaka Yuri said.

But if you upgrade step by step, expose yourself a little bit, and make the other party mentally prepared... maybe?Even if Kirino Kosaka herself doesn't think so, Yuri Kosaka said so, so she can just believe it.

"That's why I don't want to say it, alas..." "Ah, actually it's okay. Although it's unexpected, it's normal to like playing games. Occasionally, some celebrities who have endorsed games are reported to have said I'm addicted to the endorsement game... Ah." Seeing that Kousaka Kirino was in a bad mood, Aragaki Ayase hurriedly spoke out encouragement, and then accidentally touched the table next to her.

This caused a single book by Haruhi Suzumiya and a single book by Meruru that were originally placed on the table to fall off the table at the same time.

At this moment, Kirino Kosaka, who witnessed the drop of two single volumes, seemed to have entered bullet time.

As she rushed forward, her mind was wrestling with the sudden tram problem.

She didn't know whether she should catch the Merulu, or catch Haruhi Suzumiya beside her.

Emotionally, she wanted to use Merulu, which was her favorite work.

The problem is that there is Ayase Aragaki next to her at the moment. If she goes to get Merulu, it would be like arrogating a truck. This is a serious declaration that she likes works like Merulu.

As for rescuing Haruhi Suzumiya, it can still be said to be the work of Yuri Kosaka, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.

"Ah..." Then, Kosaka Kirino felt that she had been thinking about it for a long time, but the two comics had not been dropped yet.

When I was confused, I suddenly noticed that the two hanging comics had been caught by Aragaki Ayase at some point.

"Haruhi Suzumiya...Meruru..." Ayase Aragaki stared at the covers of the two comics in her hands, and after observing Kirino Kosaka for a while, she softly read the names of the two comics.

"I see, that's what it's about. I felt something was wrong when my brother said that Kirino you had something to hide. If it's just a game, it shouldn't be something that needs to be concealed." Aragaki Ayase rubbed the cover of Melulu , intuitively judging that she felt that Kosaka Kirino was more concerned about this, because the cover of Haruhi Suzumiya looked relatively normal.

The cover of Merulu is relatively otaku-like, with a very standard two-dimensional shape.

"There is nothing I can do, and I won't make any excuses. I bought both of these books. The one you are holding is my favorite work." What Yuri Kosaka just said was quite effective. Before he was discovered He just wanted to delay it for a while, but now that he was seen, Kosaka Kirino simply told the truth.

"Honesty is a good thing, but...let me see." Ayase Aragaki hesitated for a moment, having predicted it somewhat, and finally plucked up the courage to open Merulu's comics.

"Hmm~Why is it like this?" After Ayase Aragaki opened Melulu's single volume, Kousaka Kirino's body became much stiffer.

She looked uncomfortably at Aragaki Ayase turning over Merulu, feeling a little restless.

"Gu, this character wears very little clothes. Wait, why did the little girl in the transformation scene suddenly have no clothes... Oh." After reading it for a few minutes, Aragaki Ayase closed the comic with a look of embarrassment. , she felt a little unable to calm down. She really couldn't understand why Kosaka Kirino liked such a work.

She also flipped through a few pages of another Suzumiya book, which was relatively normal, and the author's katakana Yuri on the cover also made her understand that it should be the work of Kousaka Yuri.

"Um, Ayase..." "Kirino!" "Here!" When Kousaka Kirino was about to say something, Aragaki Ayase interrupted her opening remarks and took the initiative.

And maybe it's because her aura is different from usual. She is obviously her best friend, but she inexplicably feels that the current Ayase Aragaki is a little strange.

"If I hadn't touched this table and the things on the table hadn't fallen off, Kirino, would you have told me, would you have taken the initiative to tell me?" When he said this, Kousaka Kirino had a strange illusion, I felt that Aragaki Ayase's voice was much darker than usual, which gave me a rather bad feeling.

This made her understand a little bit, this issue is very important, at least it should be quite important to Ayase Aragaki.

So Kousaka Kirino did not speak immediately, but remained silent for a while, glanced at Ayase Aragaki, and then glanced at Yuri Kousaka in the kitchen.

"I should...no, I must tell you for sure." Kosaka Kirino's voice gradually changed from uncertainty to certainty.

Aragaki Ayase asked again very seriously, so she also answered very authentically and was convinced of her thoughts at the moment.

"Maybe I didn't intend to tell you at the beginning, but just like that guy said, Ayase is my friend, my best friend, I should try to believe... No, no, it is I firmly believe that you are my best friend at all times. Even if you know that I have such interest, you will still be my best friend." "..." "..." Aragaki Ayase is not in Takasaka Kirino spoke immediately after finishing speaking, but Aragaki Ayase didn't speak, and Kousaka Kirino certainly didn't speak either.

They were in a stalemate like this for several minutes, until at a certain moment, Aragaki Ayase suddenly sighed.

"Oh...it's indeed Kirino's style of answer." "...What is my style?" "Kirino's style is Kirino's style. Never mind, it seems like you're not lying. I have no choice but to accept it, because I am your best friend Kirino." Ayase Aragaki looked a little helpless, and did not seem to accept the fact that Kirino Kousaka liked works like Merulu.

Instead, I accept that Kosaka Kirino likes Merulu. I have no choice but to accept it as her best friend.

Chapter 276 Cooking Talk

"Lunch is ready." After the conversation between Kirino Kosaka and Ayase Aragaki ended, Yuri Kosaka walked out of the kitchen appropriately.

"So fast... Ah, no, didn't I just say that I could help my eldest brother cook together." Kousaka Kirino and Aragaki Ayase only chatted in the living room for a total of more than 10 minutes. In such a short time, Finishing lunch preparations surprised Aragaki Ayase.

But more than not being able to help, Ayase Aragaki was more concerned about not seeing the process of Yuri Kosaka making cream of mushroom soup.

The other person said that because it was suitable for him on the road, Kirino seemed to like that soup, which made her a little confused.

"Ayase-chan and Kirino were having a good chat just now. I don't want to disturb you." "That's what I'm saying..." "Huh? Didn't you think it was a good chat like that just now?" Kousaka Kirino said. He looked at Yuri Kosaka with a ghostly expression. Although Ayase Aragaki accepted it in the end, it felt quite reluctant no matter how you looked at it.

She really couldn't figure out why Yuri Kosaka had to let her tell Ayase Aragaki about her interests. If she didn't tell him, the atmosphere wouldn't be so stiff now.

"Hey, Kirino-chan, aren't you happy chatting with me?" "Ah...that's not what I meant." For the sake of Kousaka Kirino's honesty, Aragaki Ayase had already accepted it reluctantly. When he saw what the other party said, his mood suddenly dropped. If he really wanted to say that it was her who was unhappy.

"Okay, okay, since we are good friends, we must get along well with each other." This made Yuri Kosaka helpless. It seemed that Kirino Kosaka was unexpectedly not very good at talking. She walked from the kitchen with a plate of prepared food in both hands. come over.

"Happy, I'm very happy, I'm really happy, so Ayase-chan, please don't be angry." Aragaki Ayase's actions made Takasaka Kirino a little flustered. She didn't mean that she wasn't happy chatting with Aragaki Ayase. It’s just that the topic just now was not a happy topic at all.

"Ha, I lied to you. Sure enough, Kirino is a serious person." After seeing Kousaka Kirino who was at a loss and worried about him, Aragaki Ayase suddenly let out a chuckle, as if nothing happened and returned to his original form. Ayase Aragaki made Kosaka Kirino breathe a sigh of relief.

But I just don’t know if the other party really doesn’t care or if he just wants to make Kosaka Kirino not care.

"But, is this the cream of mushroom soup that Kirino likes? It looks very ordinary." I don't know if it was to change the subject, but Ayase Aragaki changed the topic to what Yuri Kousaka served before Kirino Kousaka tried to say anything. On meals. "This successfully diverted Kirino Kousaka's attention, causing what she was about to say to get stuck in her throat, and at the same time divert her attention to these dishes." "Although I say I like it, in fact I have only eaten it a few times. Surprisingly, it's not bad." "That's right... but it's probably right to like to eat." "Maybe, it's better than what he's done before.

Out of the other soups I did prefer this. "When I was in the Minor family, because Kousaka Yoshino was here, there were not many opportunities for Kousaka Yuri to cook, and there were only a few kinds of soups I made.

In terms of the range of soups Yuri Kosaka has made, the current cream of mushroom soup may indeed be her favorite.

"Isn't yesterday's shiitake mushroom soup good?" Takasaka Kirino came here the day before yesterday and stayed all day yesterday. Because of the heavy rain, Kosaka Yuri made a dish yesterday using the remaining ingredients at home, and he also made one at that time. A portion of mushroom soup.

What is different from the cream of mushroom soup that is served now is that yesterday he used mushroom broth made from soaked dried shiitake mushrooms and minced meat.

If possible, Kosaka Yuri would also like to put some winter bamboo shoots in. Unfortunately, it is summer, not that season at all.

"Well, that's not bad. Well, it's not bad, but how can I put it... I don't really like the soaked mushrooms." "Eh, is that so?" "Because you see, this Before soaking, dried mushrooms are dry and small, but after being put in water for a while, they swell up so much. Hmm...it has a very subtle feeling." "Then you don't like dried mushrooms? , but I don’t like all the ingredients that need to be soaked.” “It seems...that’s the case?” Kosaka Kirino was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that it might indeed be the case.

"Subtle..." Yuri Kosaka was confused. According to this statement, instant noodles are definitely a typical example of swelling after soaking. However, he occasionally saw Kirino Kosaka eating instant noodles happily in the middle of the night. .

Perhaps there is some mysterious judgment point in this.

However, considering that the other person doesn't eat it, but just hates it a little, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Mainly at times like this, when talking about favorite food, I will lower the priority of this kind of thing by one level according to my personal tendency.

"By the way, brother, how did you finish it in such a short time? It was only a little over 20 minutes in total, right?" Ayase Aragaki felt a little strange after she sat down at the dining table in the living room with him because he didn't ask in detail because of chores.

Because Yuri Kosaka cooked four dishes today, there were four plates in front of everyone's table.

One is the hamburger meat made from minced meat that I bought before, one is the cream of mushroom soup that we are talking about now, another is minced meat and eggplant, and the last one is shrimp tempura.

For cooking rice, 10 minutes in a rice cooker is almost enough, but for serving three people, 10 minutes is not enough at all.

At least it would take Aragaki Ayase more than 10 minutes to do it by herself.

"Ah, indeed, it can't be done with one pot, but as long as two are cooked at the same time, time is enough." "Two at the same time? Wait, brother, are you using two pots to cook at the same time?!" Yuri Kosaka followed Just looking in the direction with her finger, Aragaki Ayase found two similar woks on the stove in the kitchen, which made her a little unconvinced.
