Anime Crossover: Suoh Yuki is actually my sister?

"..."

Hearing Eriri's words, even though he knew her personality, Aki Tomoya, who was carrying heavy bags and sweating profusely, was still very angry.

Of course, on the surface, he didn't say anything at this moment, and just remained silent.

Seeing that Aki Tomoya had fallen silent, Eriri didn't stop; instead, she began to instruct him even more directly:

"What are you doing by remaining silent? As the president of the company, shouldn't you be able to simply and directly express your true thoughts?"

She could tell, of course, that Aki Tomoya's silence was a sign of resentment.

But that's normal. If that's the case, why not just express it directly and boldly?

How can this gloomy and dull atmosphere be allowed?

Of course, Eriri knew that her relationship with him was really just that of childhood friends.

But in reality, due to past events, this identity is practically defunct.

Since that's the case, Eriri can only teach through the relationship between the 'president' and the 'members'.

Thinking this way, she continued speaking:

"Back when you were in the game development department, you were the same way with He Qian—just silent, unable to express your opinions clearly. If you continue like this, I..."

Before Eriri could finish speaking, Aki Tomoya threw everything on the ground with a thud, saying unhappily:

"You want to leave? Then go ahead, you're just an artist, it's not like I can't find someone else!"

If Eriri were to continue lecturing him with a long string of words as usual, that would be one thing.

However, when He Qian was mentioned, An Yilun simply couldn't hold back anymore.

Thinking back to this morning, I messaged Kato Megumi wanting to go "gather information" with her, only to find that she had blocked me.

This almost leads Aki Tomoya to conclude that it must be because of Kazuya.

And more importantly...

He Qian not only stole away the 'leading lady' he had painstakingly chosen!

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is usually very kind to me, has been ignoring my messages lately.

Or, to be more precise, it's the businesslike attitude that employees have towards their bosses.

It didn't feel like the 'partner' feeling it used to have at all.

Aside from replying with "yes" or "no," there was no other communication.

Even though Aki Tomoya wanted to communicate with him, there was no progress.

After all, although it's said that the employee is dealing with the boss, in reality, Aki Tomoya didn't pay Kasumigaoka Utaha's salary.

He had absolutely no confidence to say anything to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Moreover, Aki Tomo could also sense that even if he was angry and brought this up, it probably wouldn't have any effect.

It's even possible that they might drive Kasumigaoka Utaha away.

Or to be more precise, it was a 'liberation' for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Therefore, after learning about Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude, Aki Tomoya was quite certain that Kazuya had done something to get involved.

You could tell from the club activities at school that day!

So now, when faced with Eriri's words, Aki Tomoya just snapped and said these honest words.

After all, the main reason he's being so polite to Kasumigaoka Utaha now is because he believes it's not easy to find a great script editor.

However, to be honest, Aki Tomoya, the artist, doesn't think it's difficult to find the illustrator.

After all, this is Sakurajima!

The place where artists from all over the world are most exhausted!

Even Aki Tomoya felt that he wouldn't have accepted Eriri's help if she hadn't offered it for free.

After all, isn't it a shame that a former doujinshi artist would draw illustrations for himself?

You should know that Aki Tomoya himself would never look at those inappropriate doujinshi or the like.

"you!"

Hearing Aki Tomoya's sincere words, Eriri was speechless for a moment.

At the same time, his expression turned extremely angry.

She really didn't expect that she had originally planned to paint at home today, but because she noticed that Aki Tomoya was in a bad mood, she kindly invited him to come out and play.

Moreover, he paid for everything himself. Apart from handing over his belongings to Aki Tomoya to carry, he completely satisfied Aki Tomoya's needs and took him to places he liked to play.

And now, Tomoya Aki has actually said something like that!

Seeing Eriri's angry expression, Aki Tomoya calmed down a bit.

Most of the original artwork for the club is currently drawn by Eriri. Changing artists at the last minute would definitely cause a major delay in the schedule.

And putting everything else aside, at least within the club, Eriri still supports her, doesn't she?

If I ask my cousin, Michiru Hyodo, for help again, then once I'm in the club, my chances against Chika Kazuya will be three to three.

The other party is unlikely to influence my thoughts.

Thinking of this, Aki Tomoya apologized to Eriri:

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Let's call it a day."

Although he apologized verbally, he didn't actually think he had done anything wrong.

Meanwhile, to prevent Eriri from continuing to pester him, Aki Tomoya turned around and left.

"Woooo..."

Seeing Aki Tomoya leave so abruptly, and with all the things she had specially bought scattered on the ground, Eriri couldn't help but cry.

At this moment, He Qian, who was standing by the wall and had witnessed the whole scene, shook his head helplessly.

Normally, he would have just pretended not to have seen anything and left.

But there was no way around it; Eriri was, after all, a 'high-quality woman,' and taking advantage of her vulnerability was the best opportunity to gain energy points.

You can't blame him for that.

Thinking this, He Qian, as if he had just passed by, spoke with considerable surprise:

"Oh dear, Ms. Sawamura, what's wrong?"

His tone, coupled with a perfectly executed expression, made it impossible for anyone to detect any flaws.

This goes without saying for Eriri, who was already in a bad mood at the moment.

"Ugh... What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing He Qian's voice, Eriri, who was still crying, froze for a moment, then stared at He Qian with a fierce gaze and questioned him.

Although she appeared extremely fierce, she was actually incredibly shy inside!

I was seen crying by someone I knew in public!

[Ding, 'High-quality woman' Eriri has been detected to be shy due to the host. 3000 energy points have been gained.]
