Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"Well...that's it. In short, that's the way it is. Xiaosheng can tell you what I know, but I can't guarantee that I can help you."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

Chen Ling nodded and finished speaking. Gao Cheng also agreed and continued.

──Approximately four ten minutes passed.

Chen Ling and Qin Li thanked Gao Cheng, walked out of the cafe, took the same car and looked at the scenery outside the window.

From Gao Cheng's words, we learned that Erya feels amiable and can chat with anyone cordially.

However, I don’t want to talk about my time as a cartoonist.Especially when asked about her previous friendships, Erya always talked about it vaguely.

And──whenever someone like Gao Cheng appears who she can get along with, she will distance herself.

"Kotori, have you thought about it too?"

"Of course, besides that, is there any other reason?"

Qin Li opened her lips to answer Chen Ling's question.

"It must have something to do with the "嫗寗典帙"... Thinking about it carefully, this is actually not surprising at all. If there were angels who could know everything in the world, anyone would investigate the people around them."

"Yes. And Erya naturally did the same thing. Of course, she must have seen some things she didn't want to see."

"Well. I'm afraid Erya has developed a sense of distrust towards human beings because of this. It's no wonder, there are no people in this world who can maintain a saintly state 24 hours a day. They can say bad things about others, and they can also do bad things behind their backs. It is inevitable for a beautiful woman or a handsome man to have some dirty thoughts in an instant. Erya, who owns the "嫗gaupian帙", can naturally see everything, and when she sees that everyone is like this, It’s natural to think that all human beings are ugly.”

Having said this, Kotori scratched her head angrily.

"I didn't expect the shadow in her heart to be so deep. When I heard that she liked Two-dimensional characters, I thought she was playing tricks on us... In other words, she only opens her heart to beings who will not betray her, right? That's it. ..It’s too sad.”

Chapter 542: The Growth of Seven Sins, Having Friends is a Happy Thing

"..."

After hearing what Qin Li said, Chen Ling was silent for a moment.

What Kotori said does make sense.This is probably the reason why Erya doesn't want to talk about her former friendship and her addiction to Two-dimensional.

In fact, Chen Ling should have guessed this reason earlier.

However, Erya's optimistic and fun-loving outgoing personality made Chen Ling subconsciously ignore this.

In fact, the emotions Erya showed were real, but they were limited to the level of good friends, and they were for people like Chen Ling who were kind to her.Therefore, Chen Ling didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, the emotions shown by the other party were real.However, if Chen Ling wanted to develop a deeper relationship with Er Ya, his favorability would remain the same as before.If you even want to try some not so good methods (previous cosplay and interactive games), it will anger Erya.

That is to say, things developed a little too fast before, so Chen Ling never thought that Erya only liked Two-dimensional because of "嫗嗫典帙".

"However, the truth is correct, but there seems to be something wrong with the reason why Erya is alienating Gaocheng."

Chen Ling was keenly aware that something was wrong. After all, even if Erya knew some of Gao Cheng's bad thoughts, there was no need to act too openly distant.Since we are all wearing masks to face other people, why show these emotions?

"Hello, Chen Ling?"

Suddenly, Chen Ling felt a shaking. When he came back to his senses, he saw that it was Qinli shaking his shoulders.

"What's the matter, Kotori?"

After Chen Ling responded, Qin Li looked unhappy.

"I know you're sleepy because you stayed up all night drawing, but this is a serious problem. Don't be in a daze."

"No, just not sleeping for a day or two has no effect on me. I'm just thinking about something."

After Chen Ling answered simply, he stared at the fast-moving and dazzling scenery, frowned, and put aside his doubts for the time being.

"That's all, I don't have time to think about this now. Prioritize completing the doujinshi. If you don't create an opportunity to talk to Erya again, otherwise there will be no need to talk about anything."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Qinli nodded in agreement.

......

──At one o'clock in the morning on December 31st, my homework was getting better.

In the studio on the first floor of the original elf apartment next to Itsuka's house, there is a scene where Tohka and others are dizzy from exhaustion, tracing line drawings with empty eyes.

"..."

Chen Ling said nothing, leaning forward and leaning against the table, drawing cartoons with the Seven Sins stroke by stroke.

Although the elf girls are all tired, they are working with strong energy, and many of them have cooling patches on their foreheads to drive away sleepiness.There were also a pile of empty bottles of refreshing drinks and empty coffee cans on the corner of the table.

"One o'clock... If I want to send the drawing file and ask the people from <Ratatosk> to complete the manuscript... the time is almost... it's almost here..."

"......Um."

"Answer...answer. Xi Xian is almost finished tracing..."

"..."

After starting their homework, Chen Ling and the elf girls spent the whole day glued to their chairs and continued to draw pictures, except for eating, going to the toilet, and taking a nap.Continuously performing tasks that require tensing up the nerves are more mentally exhausting than imagined.When I went to the toilet just now, the face reflected in the mirror had deep dark circles like Ling Yin's. It was as if some Internet celebrity had turned off the beauty function and even added some shadows. The beauty of the whole person had dropped several levels. Similar.

Having said that, the elven girls all said it was a little hard to accept their appearance, but for the time being they could only hold on like this.

Compared to the thoughts of the elf girls, Chen Ling was suddenly curious about why Ling Yin looked like this every day, why did she still look like a beauty?Although Lingyin is a little sad, she can still be seen as a beauty even though she has dark circles under her eyes every day. If Lingyin didn't have dark circles, wouldn't it be...

"Think about it carefully, why does Lingyin look like that every day? Is it possible that he really stays up all night every day? But, how can a normal person endure such high-intensity work?"

While Chen Ling was busy catching up on the progress, he was also thinking about these things with some divergent thinking.

However, only Chen Ling still had this kind of energy left. At this time, Yakuya and Yuxian, who were working on the table on the left, were in a far worse state. Their consciousness was beginning to become a little blurry. Shi Weaving is similar.The only one who seemed calm was Origami, but even she would become motionless every few hours as if the power supply had run out.

However, the one in the most dangerous situation in this room right now is undoubtedly the Seven Sins.

Qi Zui was sitting at the table at the innermost side of the room, tying up her long hair and drawing pictures.Since she didn't take a break after starting her work, her eyes were bloodshot and her fingertips were trembling.Even though Chen Ling and others tried to persuade her to rest again and again, she never had the intention to put down her pen.After a night, this persistence gave the girl a sense of majesty as an expert.

Seeing her desperate attitude, Chen Ling suddenly felt ashamed. He obviously still had a lot of energy left, but he was thinking about other things.

Thinking of this, Chen Ling shook his head gently, got rid of distracting thoughts, devoted himself to work wholeheartedly, and made the final sprint.

I don't know how long it took...

"Okay...that's it...finished..."

"Exhausted. Finally...over."

The Yatsumi sisters murmured in a trembling voice, and then lay down on the table weakly - of course, avoiding the original manuscript.

Almost at the same time, Shiori and Origami seemed to have finished their work.Shiori collapsed on the table like the Yamu sisters, while Origami straightened her back and stopped moving temporarily.

Next, you only need to wait for the ink to dry, erase the pencil lines with an eraser, convert it into a drawing and send it to the assistant team.We can leave the rest to everyone at <Ratatosk>.

At this moment, the door to the studio opened, and Kotori and others, who were acting separately, came in holding a large cardboard box.

"Hi, Chen Ling. Huh~~~ It seems that I came just in time."

"Kinri?"

Chen Ling looked at Qinri and the others and after responding to Qinli, his eyes became a little confused.

There was no other reason, it was all because Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino, and even Miku who walked into the room had the same tired looks on their faces as the Yamai sisters.

"You... why do you look like this? What did you do?"

After Chen Ling asked, they looked at each other's faces and then moved their eyes back to Chen Ling.

"This is a secret, Chen Ling."

"Stay tuned..."

"Hehehe... In fact, lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty, but we can't just let Darling do things for you."

After saying this, Tohka, Yoshino, and Miku looked tired but smiled happily.Chen Ling tilted his head in confusion.

"The important thing is, how is your painting going?"

"I happened to finish the drawing just now. All that remains is to erase the pencil lines, scan it into a drawing file, and send it to the assistant team. I guess Kaguya, Yuzuru and Origami have also finished drawing, right?"

"That's it. Thank you for your hard work. Then all that's left is──"

Kotori said this and looked towards the back of the room.

That's right.There was also a girl drawing pictures in the room.That's the seven sins.

After Chen Ling rested on the table for a few seconds, he slowly stood up and walked towards Qisu with Qinli and others.

Perhaps seeing Chen Ling's actions, the Bawu sisters and Origami also gathered around Qisui.

"Seven Sins? Are you okay?"

"..."

"seven sins?"

"...! Ah...ah...ah...um..."

After Chen Ling spoke, Qi Zui shook his shoulders and raised his tired face.Her eyes were red and had deep panda eyes.From anyone's perspective, she was close to her limit.

"Our homework is over, let's change people. You must be tired, right? Go take a nap first."

"No, no need. I still have the last bit of painting here, and it's almost finished..."

Qi Zui shook his head to reject Chen Ling and continued his homework.Maybe her vision was blurred, but she was rubbing her eyes.The ink on her hand was stained on her face, like someone having her face painted after losing a badminton game.

"You said you were almost finished... But Seven Sins, you haven't slept even once since yesterday. And you are also responsible for the storyboards and drafts, so the burden is the heaviest. Although I bear half of the burden, your task is still ours The heaviest one among them, it’s better to take a rest now.”

In fact, Chen Ling actually wanted to help Qi Zui finish the last part, but Qi Zui said that he would handle the part he painted himself.Therefore, Chen Ling could only suggest this now, instead of painting the part she was responsible for on behalf of Qi Sin.

"That's right. The key is the sale. Leave the rest to us, you just need to be tempted by the sleep of the dark night."

"Agreed. You're a little overworked, Seven Sins."

“Recuperation is also an amazing job.”

"Seven Sins, come and take a rest first."

However, even with the advice of sisters Yamu and Shiori Origami who were working together, Nanaizu still had no intention of stopping the work.

She stared at the manuscript with empty eyes and continued to write with concentration.

"I'm fine..."

"But......"

Before Chen Ling finished speaking, Qi Zui used her trembling fingers to draw beautiful lines and continued:

"I probably won't be of much use when I officially play. All I can do... is this little thing... So, let me draw. I never thought that someone would need my power. I also want to Help everyone..."

"seven sins......"

"Chen Ling and everyone helped me, I'm really happy... So, this time I can work with everyone to help other elves. This is really... really makes me very happy. I don't feel that at all It’s hard work, but I’m extremely happy. I want to tell that dead-head named Erya through this comic..."

After Qisui smiled softly, he slowly raised the hand holding the pen.

"How empty and numb a person is, but having friends is a happy thing..."

The moment he said these words, Qi Sin just finished drawing the last line, and then fell from the chair weakly.Chen Ling hugged her at the critical moment.

Seeing Qisun's tired face but sleeping with a smile on his face, Chen Ling couldn't help but smile.

"You've grown up a lot, Seven Sins. Also, thank you for your hard work. Please have a good sleep."

The sleeping Qi Sin seemed to hear Chen Ling's voice, and the smile on his face seemed to brighten a lot.

Chapter 543 Honjou Aangji, let’s decide the winner!

"Seven Sins, have a good sleep."

After Chen Ling said this, he stroked Qixi's head with a smile.

At this time, Meijiu, who was standing behind Chen Ling, said loudly with tears in her eyes:

"Woo~~~ I'm so touched! So Darling, I took Qi Sin to the room to sleep..."

"Chen Ling, take Qi Sin to the room. Remember to lock the door."

Kotori said this when she interrupted Miku, or in other words, she saw through Miku's ulterior motives.In response, Miku twisted her body and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I hate it, Kotori, you are so mean~~~"

Kotori ignored Miku, picked up the finished manuscript from Nanisei's desk, stared at it, and nodded slightly.

"──It's perfect."

Then, look at everyone.
