The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

But she knew that was unlikely, as not all novels could be adapted into animations. Similarly, even among some popular light novels, there were some that had no adaptability at all.

Just like Demon Slayer, the plot of this comic can only be described as a standard hot-blooded orthodox style, but why did it quickly become a phenomenal work?

I have to say that the author of Demon Slayer should first give a kudos to the UFO production company.

She recognized her junior's ability, so it was reasonable that the Four Lies could be adapted. However, it was unexpected that it would be adapted so quickly. She thought she would at least wait until the next volume came out.

"That's great! Junior's work can be made into an anime. Senior is still worrying about the book signing event next week~"

The second volume of "Love Metronome" has been printed and promoted. It depends on how the sales go on May 15th next weekend.

Utaha Kasumigaoka was feeling uneasy, as the sales of the second volume might determine the future fate of her light novel.

Will it continue to be sold, or will it be on the verge of being cut in half?

These things are unknown to Utaha Kasumigaoka, so we can only wait another week to find out.

"Don't worry, Senior Shiyu. How can the sales of a work that was personally directed and approved by the author of Four Lies be bad?"

“Puchi~ Hahaha. Junior, you are really narcissistic, but I’ll take your good wishes~ Oh, by the way, junior, don’t forget what you promised me.”

"I'll never forget it."

Then, Kasumigaoka Utaha watched Xia Qiu's departing back, and suddenly she remembered! She seemed to have come to ask her junior brother for punishment, but how come it suddenly became a mutual comfort between colleagues?

Gan!

When he returned to his class, no one paid attention to Xia Qiu, and no one greeted him. His popularity in the class was just like that, and there was no one he could talk to.

This is good, I don’t have to chat with them about topics that I don’t understand.

However, Ying Lili at the front desk seemed to have something on her mind. She wanted to say hello and talk to Xia Qiu, but was afraid of the rumors in the class. It had been a while since the last rumor and no one mentioned it, but now she was going to talk to Xia Qiu in such a high-profile manner.

It’s inevitable that I will be asked this and that by my friends at school, which is so troublesome.

She couldn't tell anyone about the relationship between her and Xia Qiu. If people knew her identity as Kashiwagi Eri, she would probably have to move to Mars to live.

After all, your classmate is a popular author of picture books, what would you think? Especially in the very exclusive high school life.

When she thought about facing the strange looks from her classmates, Eriri felt a chill all over her body!

Oh, I see! I can pass him a note myself!

Tearing off a corner of the paper, Ying Lili wrote something on it, then crumpled it into a ball, and while no one was paying attention, she threw the note in front of Xia Qiu.

pat~

The paper ball fell in front of Xia Qiu.

What's going on? A secret agent meeting?

Xia Qiu felt helpless but also understood Ying Lili's little actions.

I unwrapped the paper ball and found the following words:

(Wait for me after school! You can choose not to wait for me... If you don't wait for me, I will ignore you o(′^｀)o Hum!)

Wow, these words are indeed written by a tsundere.

Xia Qiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying Lili with some curiosity. He didn't understand why the arrogant golden retriever was looking for him. Was he asking him to write an article?

That's not necessary. The second part of Four Lies will be released in mid-June, specifically on the 10th, so Dengeki Bunko is not in a hurry to urge Eriri to draw new illustrations and book covers.

As if she noticed Xia Qiu's gaze, Ying Lili's ears turned red for no apparent reason.

Time flies, and soon it's time to go home from school.

Eriri did not go to the art club today. She said hello to the club leader and left early.

He wandered around the school gate for a while, leaning against the gate, tapping the ground with his little leather shoes, holding a drawing board and schoolbag in his hands, and looking back from time to time.

"oi! Who is our dear teacher Kashiwagi Eri waiting for?"

"Ooooooooooooo!!!"

There was a cold feeling on her neck, and Ying Lili was frightened!

Only then did she realize that the damn Xia Qiu had appeared behind her at some point, holding two cans of iced Coca-Cola in his hands.

"Damn it, you walk without making any sound???"

Eriri said angrily, showing her cute little fangs.

"Also, don't call me that name in school!!!"

"Hey, Sawamura-kun, this is for you."

Xia Qiu agreed and handed the Coke in his hand to Ying Lili.

"It doesn't matter if it's delicious."

"It's okay. Dogs don't drink Pepsi."

Ying Lili took the ice cola without refusing, opened the pull ring and gulped it down.

Hoooooo! Ice Coke is so refreshing!

To be honest, some creators always have coffee and cola on hand, which are very stimulating. And cola’s name as the water of happiness is not for nothing. After drinking it, you will feel happy both physically and mentally.

"Yeah, don't you still have club activities in the light music club?"

After drinking, Ying Lili followed Xia Qiu. She had originally planned to wait at the school gate, but she didn't expect Xia Qiu to come out so soon.

"No, I'm the leader of the club, I can leave whenever I want, and besides, my club members are having fun on their own."

That's it~

Following behind Xia Qiu, Ying Lili was silent for a moment ~ because she didn't know what to say at this time, since it was obviously she who asked Xia Qiu out.

"That Sawamura-kun..."

"Yinglili..."

"Huh, what? Could you please speak louder, Sawamura-kun?"

"I said call me Eriri!!!"

Ying Lili shouted this with a blushing face, and then seemed to realize that she seemed to have gone a little too far, so she covered her head with both hands and crouched down to defend herself!

What am I doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I thought about how Xia Qiu only called me Sawamura-san and called that woman Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the close Shiyu-senpai! I felt that it was a little unfair.

It was clearly she who discovered the shining points in Xia Qiu, and it was clearly she who first created happily with Xia Qiu, and it was her who did it all first!

But...the relationship between me and Xia Qiu always remains at a very ordinary level.

I want to be as happy as you guys...

"Sawamura-san? Are you jealous?"

He stroked his chin and thought, it doesn't seem like it ~ He thought that his relationship with Eriri had not reached that level. They were more like friends who could joke around. Then what about her remarks just now?

In fact, Xia Qiu didn't expect that everything was just an off-field factor.

I forgot the number and couldn’t send it out, nine one four nine eight, three zero four.
