manga artist Kirito

—Because this is exactly the same information that Kirito learned last night!

"Good morning!"

"morning……"

Shiina Mashiro's monotone voice really made Kirito lose interest.

"What's going on in your room? Did someone from the invisible realm come?" Turning his head, Kirito looked at Shiina Mashiro, who had already stood up—at this moment, Kirito had only one thought: sometimes, visual estimation can be wrong.

It could be said to be a perfect body, with fair and tender skin and soft, protruding breasts. Long, slender legs looked perfect in white stockings, and as for a certain indescribable part... I never thought I would receive such treatment in my life, especially since it was uncensored.

……interesting!

Well, please don't think this is some kind of perk. As an erotic artist, Kirito has drawn all kinds of great bodies. I can draw something like this with my eyes closed. I—Kiritani Kazuto! As for Fujiwara Echizen, who is known in the erotic world as a genius, although I haven't seen him many times, the only thing I need to do right now is not to overthink it!

However, I must say that Shiina Mashiro's figure is really amazing. You really can't tell when she's dressed. She's actually much more voluptuous than you would guess. But I'm not really interested in the so-called "Mountain of Flesh" because he's neither as cute as my sister nor as big as her!

—By the way, Asuna is not someone to be compared to, because the others lost from the very beginning!

Then there are those dazzlingly white legs; wearing white stockings would definitely make her even more attractive... Perhaps adding cat ears would make it even better?

Oh, by the way, there's something I'm really curious about: how do those girls who often wear cat-eared maid outfits with tails attach their tails? Please explain!

But no matter what, with the girl right in front of him within reach, there's a very high chance of success, whether he wants to prprpr or directly papapa.

"Are you testing me? How thoughtful of you!" Kirito pushed up his non-existent glasses and looked indifferently at Shiina Mashiro. "While it's true that being naked can easily arouse desire in others, especially at this time, that's for the average person. If you want to fully display your allure, at least wear white stockings!"

"Whether you wear panties or not is irrelevant, but you absolutely must wear white stockings! Understand?"

Shiina Mashiro rubbed her sleepy eyes and tilted her head. "Why are you wearing white stockings?"

"Let's put that aside for now. Please put on your white stockings... I mean, put on your clothes!" A slight erection to show good morning was undoubtedly a perfect way to do this, given the impactful scene before him. However, Kirito didn't really want to pin her down for a morning workout.

Kirito has always believed that a man who is too soft is utterly useless—I mean, utterly useless! Because not only are his testicles useless, he can't even afford to be a kept man!

...Although it was a bit late, this could still be considered a kill at the gate, so Kirito guessed that what would happen next was that Asuna hadn't brought Mashiro over yet since she had been here for so long, so she came over herself...After that, Kirito successfully called GG!

A very simple and easy-to-understand strategy!

"Oh right, before you get dressed, you can do this too!" Kirito calmly reached out and gathered the blonde hair that was draped over Shiina Mashiro's back to his front, covering certain indescribable parts. "You might not understand, but this kind of move is enough to infuriate a lot of people!"

"Oh," Shiina Mashiro replied in her usual flat tone, glancing down at her long hair that covered her chest before nodding.

“I think it’s necessary to hire a nanny to take care of you. After all, Asuna is already exhausted from taking care of my daily needs, and now with you on top of that… hiring a nanny is a must.” Kirito handed her the blue and white panties he had been holding, then turned and walked towards the door. “Of course, you’ll have to pay for it. Also, a young lady’s lifestyle isn’t really useful here, so please be mindful of that.”

"Pants... are not cute at all."

"I suspect you didn't even listen to what I said before." Leaning against the door, Kirito stared indifferently at the doorway. "As for whether the panties are cute or not, you're wearing them underneath, so it doesn't matter whether they're cute or not! If you're planning to deliberately show them off to others... damn it, blue and white panties are the only justice!"

However, it's really good that Asuna didn't come...

P.S.: I usually give chapter recommendations when someone asks me... and they are irresponsible recommendations. Take a look if you're interested, otherwise just pretend you didn't see it!

Please feed them, and yes, don't pat them!

[NO.70 The Crisis of Cartoonists]

"Is it not ready yet?"

Integrity is like a notebook; you should have it, but you can't prove to everyone that you have it.

Therefore, Kirito did not make any attempt to observe the process of women getting dressed.

"Alright," Shiina Mashiro's voice rang out from the side. Kirito turned his head and saw that she was dressed neatly... no, not neatly at all. From the mysterious bulge that Kirito noticed, he could tell that this woman was not wearing a breastplate.

True, vacuum school!

The reason it's so big is probably because it's freed from constraints, allowing it to grow unrestrained.

"Why are you wearing panties over your bra?"

"Hmm?" Her blonde hair, now extremely messy due to her less-than-elegant sleeping posture, had a single tuft sticking up high, swaying slightly like a cowlick as Shiina Mashiro tilted her head.

"Hey, do you really want to give away your perks so much? I don't mind, but Asuna won't be happy if she sees it... By the way, Asuna won't be happy either if she knows I saw it, so could you please put on a bra?" Kirito looked at Shiina Mashiro seriously. He originally thought that Shiina Mashiro just had a huge difference in her thought process from ordinary people, but he didn't expect that she couldn't even do simple daily life on her own.

Of course, Kirito was very grateful that she didn't scream like a normal person when Kirito looked her up and down!

"No one has ever taken anything from me."

"Do you want me to help you take a bath too?" Kirito glanced at her calmly, then turned and casually pointed, "That one, put it on."

Although Kirito hadn't seen many situations like this, as a man on the verge of maturity, he could still face them calmly.

There's supposedly a phrase called "frank and honest"?

Before long, Kirito returned to his home with Shiina Mashiro, who was at least dressed normally. At that moment, Asuna was sitting on the sofa, chatting with a persistent ghost.

—Aside from being a teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka is also Kirito's editor, so she has a reason to be here.

Hmph! Trying to keep an eye on me?

"Yo, Kirigaya!" The combat-oriented editor, with a broad smile and a cigarette between his fingers, raised his hand to greet Kirito.

"Yo, Shizuka-sensei." Kirito returned the same smile. That's too much! You've only just started your job, and you're already at my house this early in the morning. Just how dedicated are you!

Asuna turned her head to look at Shiina Mashiro, who hadn't washed up yet, and looked somewhat helpless. Then she pulled Shiina Mashiro into the washroom.

"So this is Shiina Mashiro? Something feels off." As Asuna and Shiina Mashiro entered the washroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka clicked her tongue. She hadn't been here long, and Asuna had chatted with her, so she knew a little about Shiina Mashiro. Hmm, a new student.

"Yes. But Ms. Xiaojing, you came so early, aren't you afraid I haven't gotten up yet?"

“If you’re still in bed, that’s perfect.” Hiratsuka Shizuka smirked. “I was planning to take you for a run, but it seems we’re a bit late today. You’re already up.”

Are you a pervert?

"Well, health is the foundation of everything. Your physique is really not good. You don't exercise properly, and with you staying up all night like this... I'm really worried about whether you can finish and submit the manuscript on time!"

Ah, of course I know that health is the foundation of everything, but I don't have such a rebellious idea! Besides, how many cartoonists have you seen who submit their work on time?

"I know my physical condition better than you do. Give me two wooden swords, and I could take on three Shizuka-sensei at once without a problem!" Kirito smiled confidently. "Especially since I'm bursting with energy right now!!"

"Oh?" Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow slightly, clenching her fist so her knuckles cracked. "Want to do some morning exercises?"

"Unless there's a change in the timeline, you won't find two wooden swords here!" Kirito shrugged. In fact, that was the case. He only had one black wooden sword. He had given the other one, Lake Toya, to Asuna. If there were no surprises, it should be in the house across the street.

"That's fate, kid!" Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a bright and unusually refreshing smile. "Let's not talk about anything else today. Add to the three chapters you already drew, and the ten chapters you planned to draw. I don't know how much you've drawn so far, but I won't care about your current progress."

"In short, I want the original manuscript of chapter 13 in front of me by tomorrow evening!"

"Of course, no problem!" Kirito replied calmly. At this moment, I felt that Hachiman should come over and lure Shizuka away, preferably to the point that she couldn't come back for several days.

Good heavens! The original manuscript for chapter 13! Including the three chapters I had already drawn, I've only completed nine chapters so far, and there are still four left... At 24 pages per chapter, I have to draw 96 pages in two days! Why don't you just tell me to die already!

Kirito really wanted to glare at this battle editor to death, but he was also a little curious about how Shizuka-sensei knew so much about his plan.

"Your next question will be—how did you know about my plan?" A terrifying glint flashed in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes. "Of course… Asuna told me!"

"..." Kirito's smile gradually faded. He never expected that the person who betrayed him was actually Asuna!

This is truly terrible!

Calm, calm

The more critical the moment, the more calm you must remain!

It's just Hiratsuka Shizuka, Kirito Kazuto, you are the strongest!

Given the severity of the crisis, you must be able to find a solution!

“Having dreams is a good thing, but unfortunately it’s unrealistic!” Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have seen through everything. “I will stay here until you hand in your manuscript! According to Akane, if your manuscript is not finished when the deadline is approaching, you will run away to another place... Last time, it seems that you went straight back to the Tiger Dojo.”

"But it's okay, I'll do my best to complete the task that Xiaoxi gave me!"

Is this why you're planning to forcibly break into my home?

You really don't have to take this so seriously! I'm just a washed-up artist, please don't put such a heavy burden on my shoulders!

That's what they say, but to be honest, the actions that Hiratsuka Shizuka is currently taking are nothing new.

Kirito's only regret is—Asuna is still the creator, and this industry is terrifying!

The reason the editor came to the door was obvious, but the idea of ​​opening the door for the editor and pouring tea as a welcome was simply not true!

However, nothing I say will work now... In this situation, I feel it would be better to do morning exercises with Teacher Xiaojing.

I... well, I'm super cute! Please give me your vote!

【NO.71 Creation Time】

—The creator's editor

Kirito always thought this was a miserable job, but Hiratsuka Shizuka was doing very well in this miserable profession, even more so than her main job as a teacher. Although it was just a part-time job, Kirito saw in her the humiliation of being dominated by Akane Akasaka and imprisoned while drawing.

In order to get Hiratsuka Shizuka home sooner, Kirito thought that if he could show her how hard he was working on his drawings, she would feel reassured about him.

Therefore, Kirito decided to dedicate all of today's time, except for necessary rest, to focusing on drawing, and then take a proper rest tomorrow!

And so, today, Kirito's study welcomed two women who were entering for the first time.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, Shiina Mashiro

Hiratsuka Shizuka is understandable, since she intends to supervise the progress of the original manuscript, but Shiina Mashiro is a bit strange.

It is understood that she came here mainly to further improve her comics. What is she doing here instead of working on her artwork?

After breakfast, Asuna had the idea of ​​taking Shiina Mashiro out for a walk, but she refused because she needed to draw... But what's going on now?

A sketch?

Are you here to see how I get pressured to submit my manuscript?

It doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't bother me, I'm fine with anything.

Kirito glanced at Asuna, who was sitting next to him with her laptop, seemingly preparing some drafts for her new book. Then he looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was standing behind him staring blankly at the drawing software on the screen, and Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was smiling and reading a shonen manga. Kirito sighed silently and then began to concentrate on sorting out the storyline.

Gone is his carefree attitude; Kirito is now extremely serious. He picks up his paintbrush, and the scenes from the story naturally appear in his mind. The paintbrush touches the drawing tablet, and based on the images flashing through his mind, characters take shape one by one…

The main content of episode 10 is that the protagonist, Shido Kurogiri, participates in a meeting to conquer the first floor of Aincrad, but unexpectedly encounters a brainless player who jumps out and thinks he can do it too, saying some things to the closed beta testers that make you want to chop him up.

Well, Kirito felt that this villain was really too idiotic, or rather, a bit low-level. A guy who thinks 'I can do it too' and 'get something for nothing' is destined to have no future. He wanted to make changes, but... he felt that it would ruin the perfection of the story. After all, this idiotic player actually has a future.

Therefore, Kirito does not intend to make any further changes to this story that does not belong to him.

Anyway, even for a weekly magazine, thirteen chapters of manuscript will be enough for a while. After that, I'll start working on the erotic works that need to be rushed out for the summer commercial... Well, there's still time for the summer commercial, so it's okay to do other things in the meantime.

Putting aside these random thoughts, Kirito sped up his work, because he was about to reach a battle scene that would get his blood pumping, and he wanted to use his paintbrush to depict the scene that had made his blood boil more than once.

The space grew increasingly quiet; apart from the sound of typing on the keyboard, the only other sounds in the study were the tapping of paintbrushes on the drawing tablet.

Both Kirito and Asuna were clearly in the zone, and with no external distractions, their progress accelerated dramatically.

During this time, Shiina Mashiro did not move her position once, and her gaze remained fixed on the characters that were gradually taking shape on the drawing board. Standing for so long, even someone with great endurance would feel uncomfortable, but Shiina Mashiro did not seem to feel any discomfort. She stood quietly behind Kirito, as if the manga slowly taking shape under Kirito's hands had a great attraction for her.

Kirito seemed oblivious to Shiina Mashiro's presence, focusing entirely on depicting those familiar scenes and character interactions.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was leaning against the door reading a comic book, turned to the last page of the weekly magazine. After finishing it with satisfaction, she subconsciously stretched, making her ample bosom appear even more impressive. Unfortunately, no one noticed Hiratsuka Shizuka's posture.

Looking towards the center of the study, one can see Kirito with his head slightly lowered, his right hand holding the paintbrush moving constantly, and a slight smile on his lips. Hiratsuka Shizuka reveals a hint of a smile, thinking, "He can still be quite capable when he gets serious."

Not wanting to disturb the three who were concentrating, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and walked out of the study with the weekly magazine. A short while later, she brought several glasses of water and placed them in front of the three. The usually carefree Hiratsuka Shizuka was now careful to move quietly, as if afraid of disturbing them.

Hiratsuka Shizuka checked the time on her phone, raised an eyebrow slightly, then walked out of the study again, closing the door behind her...

……

About half an hour passed...

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had taken off her apron and walked out of the kitchen, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with a tissue. Then she opened the door to the study and saw Kirito, who had stopped writing and was drinking water from a glass, but whose brows were slightly furrowed.

"Lunch is ready!" Hiratsuka Shizuka gently knocked on the door, her expression somewhat helpless for some reason. Perhaps it was because these two students were so engrossed in their work that they forgot to eat and sleep, or perhaps she saw the shadow of her former friends in them.

Kirito was used to time flying by once he got into a story. Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's call, Kirito put down his water glass and moved around a little. His stiff body, which had been sitting for too long, made cracking sounds. There was no doubt that Kirito was still lacking in exercise.

Absolutely, this kid needs more exercise! — Shizuka Hiratsuka

Kirito glanced at Shiina Mashiro, who was still standing firmly in place, and slightly pursed his lips. Couldn't this guy just move a chair over and sit down?

"Let's eat, we'll see later." Kirito casually said to Shiina Mashiro before heading towards the hall, stopping Hiratsuka Shizuka from inviting Asuna along.

“Creative inspiration is hard-won, and abrupt interruptions will only make the creator forget that feeling. External interference can be fatal to a creator.” Kirito lowered his voice and said somewhat seriously, looking at Asuna who was engrossed in writing. “I just happened to be stuck on a slightly troublesome plot, but Asuna… I reckon she won’t stop until she finishes writing down her inspiration.”

This is similar to how some creators might even enter a state of near-demonization due to specific plot points...

"Well, let's do it your way." Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her head. According to this brat, the consequences of interrupting rashly... seem pretty serious.
