World Aid Guide

Seeing Nanami's bewildered expression, Eriri knew that she had already noticed those things... Eriri had no intention of hiding it; if they played games together, Nanami would definitely find out.

"Ahem..." Eriri cleared her throat, trying to suppress her embarrassment. "Um... well... that's how it is. I drew all of these. I also drew quite a few little comics."

"Oh...I see...Ahaha." Nanami laughed awkwardly, her voice tinged with her adorable country accent. "Well...personal interests are really no big deal."

"Actually... well, it's different from that guy Tomoya. What we're going to do is... well, it's an 18+ game. If you mind, Aoyama-kun, you can leave, but please keep it a secret for me."

"No problem!!! I will definitely keep it a secret for Sawamura-kun!" Nanami subconsciously stood up straight and said loudly.

"Thank you... Would you like to join, Aoyama-san?" Eriri quickly added after saying that, "Even if Aoyama-san doesn't join, it's perfectly fine for him to stay here."

Eriri's face turned bright red. This was the first time she had ever openly confessed her interests to someone like this. Not only were her toes, encased in black stockings, tightly clenched together, but her fingers were also twisted together in embarrassment.

"Games rated 18+ are indeed a bit..."

Nanami was in a difficult position, as providing voice acting for an 18+ game was indeed a bit beyond her acceptable range.

However... the free accommodation and the revenue sharing after the game's release were very attractive to Nanami, who was short of money. Joining the game would not only allow her to hone her voice acting skills, but also allow her to use a significant portion of her part-time work time for studying.

Nanami isn't shameless enough to refuse to participate in game development and then freeload off the accommodations.

But the voice acting in 18+ games...

I'm so conflicted, so incredibly conflicted.

Eriri's eyes lit up at Nanami's conflicted expression.

The absence of a direct rejection means there's still hope!

Eriri quickly spoke up.

"If Aoyama-kun doesn't want to, it's okay if the 18+ parts aren't dubbed." Although the lack of dubbing for the 18+ parts is a drawback, it's better for only the 18+ parts to be undubbed than for all of them to be undubbed.

It's impossible for Hui to do the voice acting herself. Ordinary voice acting is better than no voice acting at all, but bad voice acting is worse than no voice acting at all.

Although Nanami isn't a professional, she has at least studied, so her average level should be fine.

Eriri had already gone this far, so Nanami had no reason to refuse.

Although Nanami agreed, the atmosphere between the two remained awkward; they were practically digging their toes into a row of townhouses.

"Uh...right, I haven't been to Mashiro's room yet."

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Nanami suggested visiting Mashiro's room.

"Uh......"

Mashiro's room?

That's real heavyweight!

However, Eriri had no reason to refuse, so she could only knock on Mashiro's door next door.

When Mashiro opened the door, the three of them passed through the entrance hall and entered the living room. Nanami was stunned when she saw the horrific scene in the living room.

Aside from coats, skirts, underwear, and socks scattered everywhere... the rest were all little comic strip sketches strewn all over the floor!

Nanami's worldview has collapsed.

what happened! ?

Sawamura is like that, and so is Shiina!

Why do all the talented artists love drawing comics?!

It's broken! This world is absolutely broken!

Chapter 131 Sakura: Brother, you acted so quickly?

"Welcome, Aoyama-kun!"

After Chen Lin, Sakura, and Alice returned from school, Eriri introduced Nanami to the four of them. Upon seeing Alice and Ikis, Nanami's adorable hometown accent came out.

Everyone in the school knew Alice and Eges, but they probably couldn't guess that Alice, a princess, would live in such an ordinary apartment with Eges.

"Aoyama Nanami... right?"

"Ah."

Chen Lin looked at Qi Hai with curiosity, and Qi Hai returned a slightly shy smile.

Her chestnut-brown, shoulder-length hair was neatly styled into a single ponytail. Her Ark Academy uniform was clean and tidy, and a pair of black mid-calf socks covered her calves under her pleated skirt.

Her face was not as stunning as Alice's, nor was her figure as voluptuous and tall as Iges's.

Ordinary yet adorable, you'll never tire of looking at her.

Although Chen Lin had heard Nanami's name from Mashiro and Mafuyu, he had never actually met her.

I had a very good impression of Nanami before. She was humble, serious, independent, mature, and a little bit arrogant. Compared to Mashiro, who was so genius that she was almost unreal, Nanami was definitely a better choice for a girlfriend.

This was Chen Lin's feeling in the past, but now...

Chen Lin had never met Nanami, but in front of Chen Lin, Mashiro showed no signs of being an ethereal genius; instead, she was endearingly clumsy.

"I've heard Mashiro mention you before; you often took care of her at school."

"No, it's just a little extra care."

Mashiro nodded seriously, "Nanami is my owner at school."

"Owner...owner?"

Hearing this word, Nanami's mind wandered... especially after seeing the line art of the comic strip in Mashiro's room, it was hard for her not to have impure thoughts.

And... if you're the owner at school, what about outside of school?

Is it possible...

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Don't think about what you shouldn't know!

Nanami suppressed her curiosity and did not ask.

"How about you stay for dinner tonight, Aoyama-kun?" Sakura, already wearing an apron, asked with a smile.

After a moment's hesitation, Nanami nodded. As both a neighbor and a landlord, it was important to maintain a good relationship.

"Then let me help too."

"Can Aoyama-kun cook?"

"Yes, I have to learn everything since I live alone."

Although Nanami had already run to the kitchen, Sakura still pushed her out.

"Today, Aoyama is a guest. Guests can just sit on the sofa and wait. Let me try Aoyama's cooking next time."

Nanami was pinned down on the sofa by Sakura, who gave Chen Lin a look before running back to the kitchen.

On the sofa, Nanami sat upright with her legs tightly together. It was clear that Nanami was a little uncomfortable; she would be more comfortable helping out in the kitchen.

"Speaking of which... Aoyama-kun just said he lives alone, right? Doesn't he live with his parents?" Chen Lin asked tentatively.

Although it was their first meeting, how could Nanami be a match for Chen Lin?

Before long, Chen Lin had discovered all of her wealth.

Nanami's situation was similar to what Chen Lin remembered, but Ark Academy did not have Sakura Dormitory or student dormitories. Because her family did not agree with Nanami's dream of becoming a voice actress, they only provided basic living expenses. As for the rest, Nanami had to earn money by working part-time during her holidays.

"Hmm... Anyway, Aoyama-kun does part-time jobs whenever he has free time, so how about he works part-time here with me?"

"Huh? A part-time job?"

Hearing about part-time work piqued Nanami's interest.

Chen Lin's assistance was mostly free, and sometimes he even had to put money into it, so Chen Lin and Ying did almost all the chores in the apartment themselves.

However, now that Alice and Mashiro are two rich girls, Chen Lin and Sakura are much more financially comfortable... Although it sounds like they're being kept by rich girls, in reality, all of this is for their rent!

When Chen Lin usually goes out on weekends, Ying has to stay home to look after the house. Although Ying is very popular, she rarely goes out to play with her friends on weekends.

Although Chen Lin was mainly responsible for the apartment's repairs, Ying also had to take care of the lawn and flower beds in the apartment's yard... She had very little personal time.

If we hire someone to work as the apartment receptionist on weekends and do some simple tasks, Sakura will have a lot more free time. When neither she nor I are around, we can do some simple reception work without getting too involved.

Nanami is a child from the countryside, and has been living alone in the city ever since, so he should be able to do some simple repairs without any problem.

However, Chen Lin did have some selfish motives; he wanted to help Qi Hai, such a hardworking kid, however little he could.

She definitely wouldn't accept money directly, but hiring her to work shouldn't be a problem.

"Mainly, when I'm not around, you'll receive some guests, mow the lawn and yard, and clean the apartment—simple tasks. Of course, I won't let you do all of these things by yourself; Sakura and I will help out. Oh, and there's only one requirement: you have to be brave."

"Audacious?"

"Yeah, you're pretty brave. There aren't many people living in this apartment building, so sometimes it feels a bit eerie. But don't worry, there's no danger."

Chen Lin wasn't joking; the apartment really was haunted.
