Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the key. Otherwise I will leave you here and go home."

"There's really nothing I can do against you~~~"

After the girl said this, she put her hand into her butt pocket.

"Ah... why did you suddenly reach in... eh~~~"

"Can you please stop making strange noises on other people's backs? Also, you really did deliberately say some misleading words in front of the administrator before, right?"

"What are you doing? You have no sense of humor~~~"

The girl pursed her lips angrily and handed the key to Chen Ling.Chen Ling opened the door and walked into the house.

"excuse me."

"Sorry to bother you~~~"

"..."

"Hey! Are you too lazy to complain in the end? You clearly complained very well before."

It's certain, this girl must be a nerd. Maybe she had learned that he also had nerd attributes before, so she deliberately played like this for a while.

However, Chen Ling used to be a homebody, and he can be considered a homebody now. If he didn't have a lot of things to do, he would definitely be willing to stay home unless his woman took him out on a date.

Therefore, it was rare for Chen Ling to play with this interesting girl. Otherwise, he would not have played with her for so long.

Of course, in addition to this, Chen Ling also felt something was wrong, so he carried her for so long, partly observing, partly playing and helping.

Getting back to the topic, Chen Ling temporarily ignored what the girl said, took off his shoes and stepped on the floor.

What can be seen from the entrance is a corridor extending straight away, and several piles of magazines and comics scattered in the corridor.

Well, seeing this, if it was just a guess before, now it is almost certain that this girl is an otaku.

Of course, Chen Ling would not complain about this.We both live in the same house, so why bother to live in different houses?Therefore, Chen Ling spoke after taking a quick glance.

"Where is your bedroom?"

"There."

The girl blinked and saw that Chen Ling didn't have any strange look in his eyes. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth and responded.

Chen Ling headed in the direction indicated by the girl and entered the room.

Sure enough, as Chen Ling guessed, the girl's dormitory was also filled with countless comics.Almost the entire wall was turned into bookshelves, but there was still nowhere to put the books, which filled the entire room.

Especially exaggerated on the bed.There was only room for one person to lie down in the middle of the big bed, with several books scattered around it.It's almost like a specially customized coffin for an old friend who loved reading during his lifetime.

Well, the concentration of home attributes is quite high.

"Hey!"

The moment Chen Ling stood in front of the bed, the girl moved onto the bed like mucus flowing out of a container, and then lay down in that space perfectly like the pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly.

"Well──it's better to be comfortable in your own home~~~"

"I agree with that."

Chen Ling, who was relieved to finally put down the girl on his back, subconsciously scanned the room for a while, and soon discovered something interesting.

"Is this... a workbench?"

Although Chen Ling thought it was impolite to peek into someone else's room, and it was a girl he had just met, his curiosity still overcame his thoughts.He moved in front of the thing and stared at it intently.

It was a big work table.Various painting tools are densely arranged on the table, and a large fluorescent lamp is set up to illuminate the entire table.

In the center of the table is a thick piece of B4-sized paper.

There are many grids drawn on the paper, and there are characters, backgrounds, and dialogue boxes with lines in the grids.It seems that all the lines have been traced, but the pencil lines from the rough draft are still on top.

That's right - although it was the first time for Chen Ling to see it with his own eyes, it must have been exactly what he thought.

What is placed on the workbench is the original manga that is being drawn.

"Haha~~~Are you drawing comics?"

After Chen Ling asked, the girl lying on the bed like a sleeping body lazily raised a hand.

"Huh? That's right. I can be considered a professional cartoonist. I only focused on drawing cartoons and forgot to eat... I had no choice but to go to a nearby convenience store or supermarket to buy something to eat, but as soon as I went outside, I noticed gravity. Surprisingly strong.”

After saying that, the girl's raised hand fell on the bed with a "thud".Chen Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Gravity is unexpectedly strong... Okay, that's a good reason. However, since you are a professional cartoonist, you should have an assistant..."

"Well... usually, I do, but I mostly do it alone. I feel comfortable being alone, and I like it very much. Although occasionally I am exhausted."

"You'd better hire an assistant. Lest you starve to death in your room one day."

Chen Ling complained, and then turned his attention to the comic manuscript on the table again.

Although Chen Ling used to be an otaku, he naturally read comics often and even bought some study materials that everyone understood.However, whether it was a serious or unserious comic, this was the first time Chen Ling had seen the original manuscript, which was quite interesting.

The style of the drawing seems to be that of a shounen manga.Even though it’s not finished yet, he’s worthy of being a self-proclaimed professional cartoonist, and his images are full of power──

"......Um?"

At this moment, Chen Ling frowned and leaned forward to bring his face closer to the manuscript.

Since it wasn't finished yet, he didn't see it for a while, but he was impressed by the style of painting.

"This looks like the legendary "SILVERBULLET" that was suspended for five years!"

Chen Ling said a little surprised.That's right.What is placed on the table is the original manuscript of the comic "SILVERBULLET" that Chen Ling and Nakatsugawa were talking about just now.

"Oh? You can see that. Could it be that you are my reader? Thank you for your support~~~"

The girl waved her hand again.However, Chen Ling had something more concerned about.He turned around and continued:

"Wait a minute. Does this mean you are Honjo Souji?"

"Well, yes."

"Emmm, you are obviously a woman, but you use a masculine pen name. Is this the contrast you have been talking about?"

"Haha~~~ Don't you understand this very well? Sure enough, we are of the same mind. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Niya, Honjo Niya. Please give me some advice~~~"

After finishing speaking, the girl Erya smiled slightly and continued:

"There are also many female cartoonists who use masculine pen names when drawing shounen comics. You see, Takagi-sensei of "OTHERFAKE" is actually a woman."

"You know this, he must be someone from the industry!"

Chen Ling nodded slowly, confirming the identity of the other cartoonist.

However, this article's Erya...this name has a number, and there is 'two' that has never appeared before.

According to the rules summarized by Chen Ling, could this girl be an elf?

Chapter 514: Erya plans to expose herself as soon as they meet

It was normal for Chen Ling to suspect that the other person was an elf. After all, the other person's name contained numbers, and they were numbers that had never appeared before. In addition, Chen Ling instinctively felt that something was wrong with the other person, so it was natural to suspect that the other person was an elf.

As for why the names with numbers are suspected of being elves, you will know this just by looking at the names of the elf girls. I don’t know if Mio chose this intentionally.

But having said that, Mio's own name has the number "zero" in it, so the possibility of the other party deliberately choosing this way is quite high.

Of course, the above reasons are the reason for suspecting that the other party is an elf, and another more critical reason is - if Chen Ling remembers correctly, this comic has been suspended for five years, and the other party's appearance age seems to be around 89. .In other words, this girl has drawn a good comic at the age of 34?

It’s not that there aren’t talented cartoonists, but are they a bit too exaggerated at this age?But if the other party is an elf, then all this will make sense.After all, after becoming an elf, the body basically stops all growth.

As for Chen Ling sensing whether the other party was an elf or something, since the Seven Sins were able to evade his sensing, Chen Ling felt that this perception was not omnipotent. The Seven Sins could evade his sensing, so could other elves.

For example, now, Chen Ling cannot sense the fluctuation of the girl's spiritual power, but Chen Ling still suspects that the other party is an elf. After all, the other party has a lot of doubts.

Thinking of this, Chen Ling naturally showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"You said you are Honjo Souji? I don't quite believe it. After all, if I remember correctly. "SILVERBULLET" was a comic serialized five years ago. According to the career of the cartoonist, Honjo Souji should have been serialized even earlier. You must have debuted before..."

The implication is that you are a genius cartoonist, and you can draw cartoons before you are 13 years old?

Judging from Erya's appearance, she is obviously around 89 years old. No matter how much she pretends to be young, she can't be more than 25 years old at most.If her actual age had been prefixed with three characters, all the beauty-related companies or TV stations would have flocked to her to ask her for tips on staying young.

Of course, if it were the daughter who replaced Honjo Souji, who had serialized comics in the past, and completely imitated his style of painting, and inherited the name of the second generation... this argument would be more convincing.

However, Erya seemed to have seen through Chen Ling's imagination and shrugged.

"Unfortunately, Honjo Souji is just me from the beginning to the end. There is no such thing as a son inheriting his father's legacy. By the way, I debuted about ten years ago."

"...In other words, you started drawing comics when you were nine years old? I met a talented beautiful girl cartoonist?"

Erya spoke out unbelievable words as if nothing had happened, while Chen Ling became more and more suspicious, but still had a look of confusion and disbelief on the surface.

Well, normal people would naturally have this expression when hearing this, and Chen Ling was indeed a little confused.After all, if the opponent is not an elf, it is really powerful and hard to believe.

Seeing Chen Ling's suspicion, Erya smiled and then said.

"Hmm...although the order is a bit different from what I 'imagined', but that's it. I'll just tell you my secret."

"secret?"

Hearing what Erya said, Chen Ling blinked and seemed a little surprised.

He has just started testing, is the other party planning to reveal his identity directly?So, the chance encounter just now was actually arranged by her, right?

Of course, it's also possible that the other person is a really talented cartoonist and is ready to show off or something.

However, no matter what, since the other party is willing to confess something, Chen Ling is happy with it.

"Actually─"

The next moment Erya spoke──

Gu...luuluuluuluuluulu...

Erya's stomach wailed louder than before.

Well, the other party may not be acting, he may be really hungry.

Moreover, perhaps because she was planning to talk about serious topics, her expression was a little serious. At this time, she suddenly heard a grunt, and her whole face turned red with embarrassment.Not because of anything else, just because this is so shameless.

"Young man..."

Erya's whole body was weak and she said this feebly, and looked at Chen Ling expectantly. She didn't know whether she wanted Chen Ling to help her cook or buy her some food.

In response to this, Chen Ling's curiosity that was aroused was suddenly gone. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he sighed.

"Okay, lend me the kitchen."

"it is good......"

When Chen Ling was about to leave the room, he looked back at Erya.

"To be on the safe side, let me ask, are you eating ordinary food, right? There is no such thing as drinking blood to stay young, right?"

Chen Ling said this as if joking.Of course, it can also be said to be a complaint.

"Eh? Do you want me to suck it?"

Erya imitated a carnivorous animal and bent the fingers of both hands, showing his teeth and roaring "Ouch!"However, perhaps due to his weak physical strength, he lacked any courage at all.

"...Seeing as you can still joke, I think you won't starve to death for the time being."

After Chen Ling said this with half-squinted eyes, he left the room and walked to the kitchen.

Judging from Erya's appearance, there must be a lot of unwashed dishes piled up in the sink... Chen Ling originally thought so, but the kitchen was unexpectedly very clean. Not a single tableware was thrown away, not even the kitchen waste storage tube. There is no stacking of food waste.

"Oh? What a surprise... It's quite rude to say that, but it's pretty neat."

"Well, maybe it's just because I don't usually cook and order takeout."

Chen Ling, who thought this way, immediately obtained evidence to prove his second conjecture.Because he saw a thin layer of dust accumulated on the mixing table.

In other words, Erya didn't keep the kitchen very clean, but she didn't use the kitchen at all.You should definitely meet your three meals a day by eating out, lunch boxes or fast food from convenience stores.

"..."

Chen Ling held his forehead without saying a word, then wrung out the wet rag and began to wipe the countertop of the kitchen counter.

"All right......"

After cleaning the dusty rag, he faced the refrigerator sitting in the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door.

Chen Ling originally planned to look for any ingredients he could use, but his hopes were ruthlessly crushed by the dense formation of several rows of beer in the refrigerator.

"Just...just wine?"
