manga artist Kirito

That's utterly shameless!

Kirito, heartbroken by the filthiness of these words, glanced at the dogs, a slight smile playing on his lips. When you take a step forward, others may envy you, but when you have reached the finish line and they are still lingering at the starting line, then you can only humbly accept their unkindness.

I'm really sorry to have gotten a girlfriend in junior high. (clasped hands)

"Kirito, since Mashiro is a new transfer student, I need to take her to the office first..." Asuna said with a warm smile to Kirito.

"Okay, see you at noon then." Kirito turned his head to look at Shiina Mashiro and found that she was observing him with her calm and expressionless eyes... Have I become more handsome again?

Well, it seems Asuna really intends to raise Shiina Mashiro as her daughter.

"See you at noon." As always, Asuna tiptoed and patted Kirito's head, then grabbed Shiina Mashiro and ran towards the school building before Kirito could complain.

"...Has the radiance of motherhood even reached me?" Kirito muttered something ambiguous as he tidied his messy hair, then headed straight for the classroom.

As for the resentment from behind?

Hahaha! Do you think those who have already won would care about the opinions of someone who hasn't even found the starting point yet?

After that, Kirito saw Ryunosuke and Hachiman, who were probably out together. Yes, Yukinoshita was not there.

It has to be said that Ryunosuke's androgynous face and voice, as well as his slender figure and smooth long hair, not only perfectly portray a killer back view, but are also genuinely attractive. At least Kirito behind them saw many classmates discussing whether to confess their feelings... Wait, Ryunosuke has been in class for a week now, do you really not know his gender or are you just pretending not to know?

If you think it would be better if there was a big [beep] below... then I'll shut up!

Then, Kirito saw someone he didn't really want to see—Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The black-haired girl's attire was no different from usual, even her characteristic lazy temperament remained the same. Her long black hair swayed slightly with each step she took, and her black stockings perfectly showcased her slender legs. Her eyes still held a hint of sleepiness as she half-closed her eyes to look at the paperback in her hand, completely ignoring the classmates who were staring at her.

This is a perk scene that happens every morning at Soubu High School... Wait, that leg-photo over there is a bit too much!

—Take me with you!

Although Kirito likes white stockings, he also appreciates black stockings. However, he has no intention of doing so right now. He has been working on his manuscript all weekend and hasn't even left his apartment. As for the matter of supervising Kasumigaoka Utaha, it has undoubtedly been put on hold.

Yes, the pigeon flew away.

Kirito definitely thinks things will get a little complicated next, given Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality.

Seemingly noticing Kirito's gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had just closed her paperback, turned her head and looked over, her wine-red eyes revealing a hint of profound meaning.

—Correction: Today is anything but harmonious.

Please feed them—do not pat them!

【NO.75 Do you have a clue?】

The morning classes were spent sleeping again. During the class, Ryunosuke almost made the very gentle English teacher cry by eating a tomato. He was then nearly beaten up by Hiratsuka Shizuka who happened to be passing by. Fortunately, he apologized in time, otherwise Ryunosuke would probably have spent the day in the infirmary.

Kirito felt that Ryunosuke was somewhat looking forward to it.

Of course, it's not because Ryunosuke is a masochist, it's simply because... if he gets injured, he can just openly ask for leave!

Actually, it's not just Hiratsuka Shizuka who's so strict. For most teachers, as long as you can guarantee that your grades won't fall behind, it's okay if you don't come to class for half a year. Take Kasumigaoka Utaha, for example, who is in the second year. Although her grades are only tied for first place with Yukino Yukinoshita, she still sleeps in class and no one bothers her.

However, Shizuka Hiratsuka is a very dedicated educator.

Even if not many students would want her to be so responsible.

As the teacher walked out of the classroom, Kirito stood up calmly and casually patted Ryunosuke, who looked a little distressed that his tomato had been confiscated. "Pretty good. Eating a tomato in class, and coincidentally, being caught by Shizuka-sensei."

"Damn it!" Ryunosuke took out his bento box and laptop from his bag, his face looking rather grim.

"I suggest you put a bottle of Mengniu milk next to your tomato next time you eat it, and spray it on anyone who comes near!"

"Are you telling me how to die faster?" With a disdainful look, Ryunosuke slapped Kirito's hand away. "If you're so capable, spray Hiratsuka Shizuka in the face with some Mengniu milk. Don't even mention tomatoes, I'll give you my Ultrabook!"

"Without your Ultrabook, you have no value whatsoever." Kirito waved with a smile, then took his bento and walked out of the classroom. But to be honest, Ryunosuke's words were quite harsh. A tech geek losing his Ultrabook, which he relied on for survival, is practically useless... Hmm, it seems that Shizuka-sensei has made Ryunosuke suffer quite a bit.

In addition, Kirito noticed that Eriri was looking at him with slightly unfriendly eyes, but out of consideration for her status as a young lady, she did not come over to cause trouble for Kirito.

To this, Kirito can only say—it's utterly baffling!

On the rooftop, the sun wasn't as strong as usual at midday. Sitting in the shade, Kirito took out his phone and opened Twitter. After all, Asuna and Shiina Mashiro hadn't arrived yet, so waiting a little longer wouldn't hurt.

The familiar page appeared on his phone. Kirito grinned slightly. It had been a long time since he had tweeted. Should he write something?

Before quitting the game, Kirito would occasionally post on Twitter, but after quitting, he handed over the management position to Akane Kousaka. Unless there was any major information on Twitter, Akane Kousaka would not take care of it either.

However, something quite unusual seems to have appeared on Twitter...

A post that got bumped up —

[Shocking! The identity of the washed-up erotic artist is actually... Fujiwara Loli's gender revealed!]

Meow meow meow?

Upon seeing this title, Kirito immediately had three question marks popping up above his head. Didn't I just appear at Asuna's autograph session? Wasn't my male identity already exposed? Why am I still called Fujiwara Loli?

Upon clicking on the post, Kirito's lips twitched involuntarily. It was a drawing by an unknown artist, depicting a very cute girl who bore at least a 90% resemblance to Kirito, the only difference being her long, flowing hair...

What's going on? What should I do?

Post content: This is something I saw with my own eyes. At Kamishirasawa-sensei's autograph session, Fujiwara no Lori actually appeared in person. Judging from the names Kamishirasawa-sensei and Fujiwara no Lori, they must have a close relationship. But what I want to say is—Fujiwara no Lori… no, I should say Fujiwara no Shonen, is actually a girl with a big [beep]!

Lu Renjia: Fujiwara-sensei's gender revealed! He's actually a cute boy! (laughs)

Passerby B: Yes, I saw it! A real boy, so cute!

Passerby C: Foolish! If the staff hadn't acted quickly, I would have taken out not only the Gothic Lolita outfit, but also the blue and white bowl!

Passerby Ding: Blue and white bowl, wait for me! I want to see Fujiwara-sensei wearing white stockings!

Red: Is Fujiwara Echizen perhaps the legendary genius erotic crossdresser?

Ruri Shrine: Isn't the main point that Fujiwara Loli is only about fifteen or sixteen years old? Think about it, Fujiwara Loli entered the adult entertainment industry a few years ago. What a pity! If only we had doxxed Fujiwara Loli earlier.

Bamboo Forest Team's Big Victory: A girl with big [beep]? Isn't that even better!

Fujiwara is a loli: Shameful thing, why don't we see some tough guy descend from the sky to teach Fujiwara loli how to be a girl!

……

"Knowing that men are going to bed with you... I have a 'fuck you' that I don't know if I should say!"

Looking at the series of comments, Kirito deeply realized the perversion of modern people and how to truly write the word "death".

I just attended a book signing event, and this kind of thing happened. And that picture, how idle do these guys have to spend time drawing it and then stirring up trouble?

Although I had the idea of ​​clarifying the rumors, I felt that speaking out at this time would only make things more uncontrollable. It's really ridiculous!

Akane Akasaka is the same. Not only did she delete this kind of post, but she also pinned it to the top. Is she just a big-breasted, brainless woman or is she just bored and wants to watch the show?

...It seems that the title of "genius erotic crossdresser" is likely to spread quickly thanks to these guys.

Yes, this post was published a few days ago. Even if Kirito tries to delete it now, it will only make people think he's trying to cover up... his anger and embarrassment!?

Akane Kosaka, don't meet me before I remember this!

Also, I was wondering why some classmates were giving me strange looks during class. I never imagined that someone who seemed like a good student was actually a pervert!

"Oh my! I never expected to run into Fujiwara-sensei in a place like this. What a strange encounter." A voice carrying a special meaning rang out as a protruding shadow enveloped Kirito.

No, no, no! It's not a coincidence at all. After all, I eat lunch here every day when I come to school. Looking up at the pretty face he didn't want to see, Kirito composed himself. "If I could, I really wouldn't want to run into you at this time."

Asuna, why aren't you here yet?

"Fujiwara-sensei, do you remember those two pigeons?" The neat bangs cast shadows on Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes under the sunlight, giving Kirito an eerie feeling of being haunted by evil spirits. "No creator is not a pigeon. If one is, then he must be too good at disguising himself to be discovered."

"I've been sitting in that cafe from noon to night on Saturdays and Sundays, but I haven't even seen a single pigeon feather. Fujiwara-sensei, do you have any clue?"

Kirito: No, get lost!

【NO.76 This is what pigeons are like】

The moment you started to trust a pigeon, the outcome was already predetermined.

Of course, Kirito was still a little embarrassed about not showing up at Kasumigaoka with Utaha, since he was the one who set the time, and not only did he not go for two days, he didn't even notify her... Even if he was completely engrossed in creating for the past two days, he still didn't show up, and saying anything more would be meaningless.

In that case, let's temporarily abandon the plan to draw a yuri doujinshi about you and Eriri.

"I'm so sorry!" Kirito said apologetically. "But I think you can understand how terrifying it is for your editor to have been camped out at your house for two days and refuse to leave, especially since this editor is also good at some crazy tricks—I have no doubt that if I take even half a step out of my house, she will take me down."

"Is it that scary?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows slightly. Just a short while ago, she received a call from her editor, Machida. The reason was simple: Kasumigaoka Utaha had torn up the manuscript of the third volume that she had already completed and planned to rewrite it. Machida, who had already prepared the third volume of "Love Metronome" for release, was naturally devastated. The manuscript was ready, and you tore it up?

If it weren't for the fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha was still a student, Machida, the editor, would probably have locked her up in the dark room long ago—why did she have to tear up the manuscript, especially when everything was ready and the book was about to be released?

However, the release time for each volume of a light novel is unpredictable. Some authors submit their manuscripts for the next volume every two or three months, while others take three or four months. Kasumigaoka Utaha is undoubtedly the latter. Incidentally, Asuna released two long-running works in the past year alone—her writing speed is simply terrifying!

—After all, he's a model worker in the industry!

Kasumigaoka Utaha's tearing up of the manuscript was bad news for editor Machida, but it saved Kirito a lot of time for the time being. After all, without the manuscript, what's the point of drawing illustrations? Until Kasumigaoka Utaha rewrites Volume 3, Kirito won't need to draw any illustrations for her. Naturally, his promise to mentor Kasumigaoka Utaha will continue.

"In short, I'm very sorry to have made you wait for two days!" Kirito rubbed his forehead helplessly. "...Hmm, you must be a member of the Homecoming Club, right? If so, you can come to the Manga Club after school, and I'll talk to you about something during club activities."

"Oh? The manga club?" Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment before nodding slightly. There was no denying that Kirito's previous guidance to her had been really useful, so Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha is proud and arrogant, it's better to humbly accept guidance from someone with real talent.

"I never expected that a manga club could have Fujiwara-sensei, a veteran of such a popular club, as a member. Normally, shouldn't Fujiwara-sensei be dismissive of such a club?"

"Newbies are all monsters, thank you!"

“…That seems to be true.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. The guy who calls himself a newbie now might become a god in the future. Plus, with the inertia of rogue en rogue, he probably wants to discover more talent.

So, the head of the comics department is a talent worth observing or even recruiting.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko!"

The stairwell door opened, and Kirito, who had thought Asuna and Shiina Mashiro had finally arrived, heard a voice full of passion and so familiar that he frowned slightly, because he also had that kind of voice!

What's going on? When did so many people come to my Pure Land? Is it a shift in the timeline? Why did it turn out like this?

However, upon hearing this voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and start shaking her leg.

To be honest, Kasumigaoka Utaha was standing, while Kirito was sitting against the wall. There was already a breeze on the rooftop, and with Kasumigaoka Utaha shaking her leg, her skirt was swaying slightly... I just want to ask, could the movement be any bigger?

The boy who walked up to Kasumigaoka Utaha was an ordinary high school boy with a pair of glasses perched on his nose... I mean glasses. Just by looking at him, you could tell he was a hardcore otaku with a lot of enthusiasm and drive.

Besides that, Kirito also felt that this guy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before... Oh right, isn't he the guy sitting in front of that guy? So what's that guy's name?

"Utaha-senpai... no, Kasumi-sensei! I've thought of so many things again regarding the content of Volume Two..."

"Could you please not publicize my novel at school?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said in an extremely cold tone, her arms crossed. "Also, please don't shout and scream to find me, thank you."

“But…” The boy named Aki Tomoya really had a lot to say to Kasumigaoka Utaha, so when Kasumigaoka Utaha said those words, his expression gradually turned ugly, or rather, it was as if his enthusiasm had been extinguished by water, especially hot water.

But no matter what, Kirito was very annoyed that his once pure land had suddenly been invaded—Asuna, hurry up and come, I want to blind them.

While Aki Tomoya was enthusiastically telling Kasumigaoka Utaha about the novel, Kirito picked up his lunchbox with an indifferent expression and walked to the other side of the rooftop. However, Kirito thought Aki Tomoya was also annoying, and he could even imagine Kasumigaoka Utaha being so annoyed that she wanted to call the police.

While communication among creators may be necessary, it's fine occasionally. Otherwise, over time, even the best suggestions will only make the creator feel that the reader is trying to criticize their work.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly annoyed by the other party for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have started shaking her leg irritably when she saw the other party.

Well, I'll just ignore it if it doesn't concern me... Wait, does that mean I should commit suicide if it doesn't concern me?

Just then, as Kirito walked to the other side, Asuna pulled Shiina Mashiro, who was eating Baumkuchen with crumbs all over her mouth, to come up to them... Should we say it's a good thing that Baumkuchen didn't have any cream?

"Good afternoon, Kazuto." With her usual gentle smile, Asuna pulled Shiina Mashiro to Kirito's side and said with some distress, "It seems that all the classmates really like Mashiro, so it has taken up quite a bit of time."

"It's a good thing that people like it." Kirito sat down on the spot and said while opening his bento box. After all, the emotionless personality is quite popular, not to mention that a naive girl like Shiina Mashiro is even more popular... Hopefully, Shiina Mashiro won't be corrupted by them.

----------------

Last night I got into an unlicensed taxi. They said it would be a doujinshi version of Asuna with Kirito, but the whole time it was Kirito having sex with Asuna... I felt cheated!

Although I really want to thank Mo for the 100 blades, I didn't have perfect attendance.

Please send in your votes and tips...

【NO.77 Stare——! 】

"By the way, what's going on over there?"

With an elegant posture, Asuna ate her bento in small bites, slightly puzzled by the conversations coming from the other side. Normally, students are not allowed to go up to the school rooftop, so why are there at least two more today?

Meanwhile, Shiina Mashiro, who was watching Kirito raise his eyebrows and stuff a napkin into her collar, tilted her head. From her indifferent eyes, there was really no trace of curiosity.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha is over there. The person talking is her fan... well, probably a die-hard fan." After finally getting the napkin ready for Shiina Mashiro, Kirito picked up his chopsticks, grabbed his bento box, and started eating.
