[Comprehensive] It's hard to fall in love

On a rare rest day, Ayane got up early in the morning and took the tram to Tokyo alone for shopping.Her schedule is very busy today. First of all, she went to Mitsukoshi Department Store to buy clothes in the morning. Because the season changed recently, she hadn’t bought new clothes since she moved. She always had a few pieces of regular clothes, so her parents gave them to her during dinner last night. A lot of pocket money, let her buy some new clothes for herself.

Just have a meal at noon - she made an appointment for the sukiyaki upstairs at Takashimaya at 12:30, and then went to Itoya to buy stationery in the afternoon.

In case there were too many things she couldn’t carry back alone, Ayane specially called a helper——she stood on the side of the street and looked around after leaving the subway station. The streets of Ginza were closed every rest day, and she became a pedestrian Heaven, so don't worry about the vehicle.

The pedestrian street on weekends is very crowded, but all the passers-by who passed by her tacitly avoided to go for a long distance, creating a vacuum around her.

"Wow……"

"Hey, look at that girl, she's super cute!"

"Don't get too close, what if you bump into her accidentally!"

This strange scene was very conspicuous on the street with people coming and going, Izumi Masamune who was outside the crowd saw her immediately.

The girl, who was very eye-catching just standing there, waved at him, and Izumi Masamune immediately felt the piercing eyes shot from all directions.

[…] His expression froze, and he stepped forward after he had fully prepared himself.

"Yukimura-san! Sorry, have you been waiting long?"

"No, no, I just arrived." Ayane smiled and waved her hands, and then congratulated, "Did last week's signing event go well? Congratulations on fulfilling your wish!"

Speaking of this, Masamune Izumi became obviously excited, "Thank you! For the signing event... well, it's okay, except for my signature, I really can't get it..." He stroked his hair embarrassedly, thinking of something Like, "Oh, by the way, did Yukimura-san receive the signed version of "The Reincarnated Silver Wolf" from me? I promised you that I would send you the full book when it's finished."

"Got it, I will treasure it well!" Ayane nodded with a blushing face, showing a happy smile, and the two walked into the department store while chatting.

Izumi Masamune is a fellow friend she met on the Internet a year ago. Both of them are lovers of adventures in different worlds, but one focuses on novels and the other focuses on manga.Although he debuted not long ago, his "Reincarnated Silver Wolf" series is quite well-known in the light novel world, and he recently held his first autograph session. He is a veritable popular novelist.

He is one year younger than Ayane, and he goes to Adachi District No. 16 High School and is a freshman this year.Speaking of this, I have to mention Ayane's age. She is actually only [-] years old. Because she skipped a grade in order to go to school with her brother in elementary school, although she is two grades higher than Izumi, she is still older than Izumi. Only one year older than him.

The same example, for example, when he was in Lihai University High School before, Kirihara Akashi was obviously the same age as her, but because Ayane was a grade higher than him, he still had to obediently call her senior when he saw Ayane.

Speaking of going back to Izumi Masamune, Ayane likes to get along with him not only because the two share similar interests, but also because she knows the situation in Izumi's family - this guy is the ultimate sister control, only his sister is in his heart, absolutely impossible to fall in love with other women.

In this way, making friends with him will reduce a lot of worries, but don't underestimate this point, she has had enough of people who pretended to be friends at the beginning, but suddenly confessed such absurd things to her one day.Izumi Masamune is one of the very few male friends who can still communicate with her with a normal heart after meeting her. As long as she can maintain this state, Ayane feels that it is not a problem to be friends with him for a lifetime.

The two went shopping all morning, Ayane bought a lot of clothes, and Izumi seldom went out on the rest day to catch up with the manuscript, let alone strolling around the street for so long. Although he was tired, he didn't complain at all. Carrying things for Ayane with a good-natured look, although everyone who saw the two of them glared at him in disbelief...

Izumi Masamune: [Haha... I won't get hurt anymore. ]

"By the way, is your sister still refusing to leave the room?" Ayane picked up a light blue dress and gestured at her body.

"Well...it still doesn't work." Izumi said in a low tone, "Although I have been working hard, but...as expected, that incident hit Sagiri too hard."

Izumi Masamune and his sister and Izumi Sagiri are not related by blood. The two are a reorganized family. Their parents died in an accident a year ago, leaving only this pair of siblings to depend on each other. Since then, his sister Sagiri has been Stay in your own room and refuse to communicate with the outside world.

Ayane sighed, and handed the skirt in her hand to Izumi Masamune, "It's a rare time to come out, let's buy one for your sister as a gift, she hasn't had a chance to buy new clothes this year, has she?" Seeing Izumi slightly dazed With a slightly playful smile, "My vision is pretty good. Every time I wear a new outfit, I can bring out a campus trend."

"That's it," Masamune Izumi laughed, took the fresh and lovely dress, nodded with determination, "Okay...thank you."

After buying this skirt, the two went to eat sukiyaki pot. Although Izumi repeatedly said that he was here to treat guests, Ayane insisted on paying the money in the end. After all, she called others out to be a tool for a day. Say it.Besides, Izumi is different from her, she is just a cartoonist based on her interest, and besides the income from drawing drawings, her parents will also give a sufficient amount of pocket money every month, so adding up, she can be regarded as a little rich woman.But Masamune Izumi's manuscript fees are still used to support his family and his younger sister. After all, there are no adults in the family, so there are not many who can give him freedom to squander.

By the way, in order to make money, this guy has also developed the powerful skill of "super fast pen". His writing speed is very fast, and he can write two works of about 96 pages in a week.According to him, if all the works written are sold and not rejected, [-] books can be sold in one year!What a model worker this is!This kind of godlike high efficiency often makes Ayane envious, especially in the few days before the deadline.

Both of them are very much looking forward to the afternoon schedule. Needless to say, Ayane has a whole cupboard of stationery collections at home. Although Izumi Masamune often writes with laptops and mobile phones, there is no writer who does not love stationery. ?The touch of writing on paper is irreplaceable by any machine!

The two came to Itoya in Ginza, which is a paradise for notebook lovers. Almost every floor sells related products, such as tapes, stickers, notebooks, stationery, various pens, and even pen specialty stores, etc. , as long as you can imagine, there is everything here.Ayane basically comes here every once in a while to check out new products. Once she comes in, she won't be able to get out within three or four hours.

"This glass pen is so beautiful!" Ayane stared at the shining glass pen in the display stand, and decided to buy it after a few seconds of thinking.Izumi Masamune also glanced at it, thinking that girls should like such an exquisite pen, and he was thinking about whether to buy one for his sister, when he glanced at the price on the label - 6880 yen.

[Hey... so expensive! ] He distressedly covered his poor wallet.

There was a couple next to him who also seemed to like this pen, and the boy asked, "Sakura, do you like this?"

The petite girl wearing two bowknot hair ornaments waved her hands repeatedly: "Ah, don't buy it for me, really, how dare you make Nozaki-kun spend money..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the tall boy next to her: "Huh? I don't want to buy it for you, I just want to know, if you were Mamiko, would you like this kind of gift?"

The girl looked embarrassed, "... so you are still collecting materials, haha." She sighed a little tiredly, and answered with vigor, "If I were Mamiko... well, I should Like it."

"Then, in the next issue, let's draw the content of 'Mamiko's birthday, Suzuki secretly prepared a birthday gift for her'."

Hearing this, Ayane finally realized that something was wrong——

She turned her neck stiffly to look at the pair of men and women, especially the boy. When she found that he was not only super tall but also had a dull face, her heart was filled with infinite ellipses like a storm passing through.

[No way... Could this be... Teacher 'Menano Sakiko'...? ]

Sakura Chiyo was the first to notice her gaze, and immediately felt like an enemy in shock:

[Is that girl looking at Nozaki-kun?Huh--? !what's the situation? !Such a beautiful girl stared at Nozaki-kun with such fiery eyes! ! ]

At this time, the dull Nozaki Umetaro also noticed the existence of Ayane. After seeing her face clearly, those calm dead fish eyes lit up for a moment, and then he took out a sketchbook from nowhere and pointed at her Her face began to write and draw.

The terrified Sakura Chiyo shouted silently: [What are you doing, Nozaki-kun! !Now is not the time to collect character assets! ! ]

"Dangerous!" "Super Dangerous!!" Several large words kept swiping in her mind, and Sakura blushed with anxiety.

Here Izumi Masamune also followed Ayane's unusual gaze, and asked with a puzzled and worried expression, "Yukimura-san, do you know someone?"

"It's okay." Ayane took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then her limbs were so stiff that she walked in front of the two of them, "Excuse me..." She looked up at the tall and strong man, extremely difficult to say, "Um... Excuse me... Are you... Teacher 'Sakiko Yumeno'?"

[stay--]

The atmosphere froze.

The four moved their positions and came to a coffee shop with few customers. Nozaki Umetaro readily admitted that he was a girl manga artist. Ayane also bit the bullet and asked for advice from a rough man who had nothing to do with it.

"I see, are you worried about how to describe love?" Nozaki took a sip of coffee, and suddenly folded his arms and said to himself, "You are asking the right person, I am not bragging, but I am known as the spokesperson of the girl's heart ' man."

Sakura Chiyo, who had a bad expression from just now: [Ah...hehehe. ]

Ayane felt that there was something funny: "Oh~ is that so? Let's hear it."

"I'm used to drawing materials from around me. If there is no real character as a support, the character will easily become empty or unreasonable. In the same way, it is best to re-create "Love" on the basis of real cases, so that it can be more vivid. Let the reader have a sense of substitution."

"Amazing..." Ayane looked admiring, "I feel very professional, really reliable, Mr. Mengye!"

Sakura Chiyo, who was soaking in cold sweat and drinking coffee: [...Pfft! ]

After listening to Mr. Mengye's vivid love teaching class, Ayane learned a lot. She wrote two or three pages of notes. The inexperienced Izumi Masamune also humbly wrote down a lot of knowledge points. Nozaki exchanged contact information.Although both of them are relatively well-known in their respective fields, they have never been in contact with each other's works. It has to be said that there is really a wall between girls' comics and light novels.

After the four of them separated in twos, Izumi sent Ayane and her large and small bags to the tram home, and she would contact her father to pick them up before she arrived at the station.The two told each other a few words "be careful on the road" and said goodbye. Ayane was thinking about the method "Ms. Mengye" taught her along the way, and she already had a plan in her heart.

On the other hand, Nozaki Umetaro, who went home with Sakura Chiyo, also inspired new characters.

A few days later, Ayane bought a new issue of "Monthly Girls' Romance" from the bookstore. As soon as she left the store, she looked forward to turning the book to the serial part of "Let's Fall in Love"——

"A new character debuts in this issue! - What? Suzuki-kun's father actually arranged for him a mysterious fiancee?! A super beautiful woman who returned from abroad! Dignified, beautiful, and elegant!"

"However, such a perfect woman has an unspeakable secret..."

"...Even so, Suzuki-kun, I will never back down! In this world, no one can love you more than me!"

"Mamiko..."

"Who is the mysterious woman... What impact will the appearance of this woman have on the relationship between Suzuki and Mamiko? Please look forward to the next issue of "Let's Fall in Love"! ——This publication is available at newsstands in major bookstores."

"..." Staring dazedly at the "new character" whose facial outline was five or six points similar to hers, Ayane's expression was blank: [...Menno-sensei, you...wouldn't be able to...]

The author has something to say:

A day without a hero

The one that appears in this chapter is "Teacher Eromanga", which tells the story of unrelated brothers and sisters creating light novels together (one writer and one illustrator).
