manga artist Kirito

Previously, she only had suspicions, but after hearing Haruno's introduction, Kiriko was 100% certain that this was something she and Kousaka had planned together... Unforgivable! I will make you feel the shame I feel now!

"Kazuko...it's you!" After hearing the introduction, the man seemed a little excited, and the words came out immediately, his eyes shining.

...Hey, did someone use this identity to get to know some weirdo?

Uh, what a coincidence!

Thinking of a certain possibility, Kiriko's lips twitched wildly. If possible, please take this one with you, Haruno-neechan. I promise I will never tell you any dirty jokes again!

So, can I ask you for a favor?

However, Ms. Haruno cannot hear Kiriko-chan's inner cries.

“It’s me…”

[NO.133 Come on, let's hurt each other! (Bonus Chapter)]

“It’s me…”

Kiriko's face froze, and the veins on her forehead twitched. Was it just my bad luck, or did these guys all plan this together?

Although the other party had not yet revealed their name, Kiriko could roughly guess who it was based on their familiar tone.

“Asuna’s older brother, Yuuki Koichiro. Of course, Kazuko can just call me Rito.” With a cheerful smile, Yuuki Rito’s eyes revealed a long-awaited expression. “I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never expected it to be in a situation like this. What a serendipitous encounter.”

I'd rather not have this kind of extraordinary encounter!

Speaking of which, weren't you supposed to be abroad negotiating business? Why are you here?

"Ah, what a serendipitous encounter." With a soft smile, Kiriko gently waved her folding fan, then winked playfully and said, "But, well, there's nothing strange about this kind of occasion. After all, girls tend to like to hang out in groups."

"That's true." With an awkward yet polite smile, Rito Yuuki scratched his head. But honestly, Kiriko's playful wink just now, though only a fleeting moment, felt like an eternity to him—it was so exciting!!

Hey, is she flirting with a guy?!

Yang Nai, who was standing right next to them, stared blankly at the interaction between the two. It was true that Kirito's flirting skills were maxed out, and Yang Nai was very clear about that. But she really didn't expect that Kirito would be so good at flirting with guys as well... Are all creators able to take on the identities of other characters and bring out their attributes to perfection?

Actually, Kiriko just wanted to avoid talking about Kirito again. After all, she had just mentioned to Eriri that the relationship between the brother and sister was not good, while Yuuki Rito knew that the relationship between the brother and sister was very good. If the topic was brought up again, and Eriri and Yuuki Rito felt something was wrong... that would be the moment their identities were exposed.

This kind of thing must be absolutely avoided!

"Although it might seem a bit strange to be hanging out with you ladies, it's really a rare treat to meet Kazuko in this kind of setting... I hope you'll all understand." With a very courteous demeanor and words, Rito Yuuki's face showed a hint of apology.

As expected of someone from high society, they clearly don't want to leave, but they manage to say it so elegantly without making it seem abrupt... But please, just leave already! Absolutely do not come back! Going back now might just lead you to meet an alien princess!

Wake up! The Kiritani Kazuko in front of you is definitely a boy whose penis is bigger than yours!

"Oh my, it seems Koichiro really likes Kazuko." No matter the occasion, there are always people who want to watch the drama unfold, and some even want to get involved if things aren't exciting enough. Ms. Haruno, who was present, was a master at this kind of thing.

"Honestly, he acted like he was aloof, but it turns out he just hadn't met anyone he liked."

Yukinoshita Haruno, today I'm going to tell you something damn damn!

Kiriko was annoyed, but she still managed a smile. "Oh, Haruno-neechan, I already have someone I like, you know. Joking around like that isn't allowed!"

In the shadows, Kiriko placed her hand on Haruno's thigh, sliding it upwards, her eyes conveying the message: "Shut up! You talkative woman, believe me, I'll expose you in a minute!"

However, Kiriko's demeanor presented a completely different scene to Rito Yuuki—a delicate, crescent-moon-white face flushed with a faint blush, her lips slightly pursed, and her gaze shifting as she spoke, as if she were blushing. The kimono exuded a gentle and noble aura, which, combined with her current shyness, was simply irresistible.

Therefore, Rito Yuuki's eyes shone even brighter.

Different observers see different things. At least Eriri can tell that Kiriko seems very unhappy right now. Didn't you see that her face is red with anger?

"Huh? Is that so?" Yang Nai feigned disbelief and responded in surprise, but in reality, she reached out and grabbed the white stocking on Kiriko's left leg, slowly pulling it down... Yes, she seemed never to have worried that Kiriko's hand would wander up her thigh and touch somewhere else.

...Sometimes, the plot can fall apart, especially for oddballs like Kirito and Haruno. Anyway, it's just about hurting each other, it mainly depends on who backs down first.

"How come I didn't know you were dating..."

"Mo~ Haruno-neechan is joking again, Kazuko, I love you the most!" With a sweet smile tinged with sadness, and a coquettish and shy look, Kiriko buried her head in Haruno's arms, rubbing against her high, soft breasts.

Not only Haruno, but even Rito Yuuki's face became extremely stiff with a forced expression. As for Eriri, she was in an even worse state. She had just picked up her juice and taken a sip when she heard such shocking news, and the juice in her mouth immediately sprayed out... and to make matters worse, it hit Rito Yuuki's face.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I was so rude!" With her face flushed with embarrassment, Eriri gave up thinking and pulled out a tissue to wipe the juice off Rito Yuuki's face.

"N-nothing...it's alright, please don't worry." With a stiff smile, Rito Yuuki's mind was still a little foggy. Kazuko...likes Haruno? Girls with girls? Yuri...yuri?

How can it be? ! !

"Haha, you might not believe it, but I'm actually a yuri fanfic writer, though I write under different pseudonyms, but that's just my personality... um, you won't look at me strangely, will you?" Hidden beneath her bangs, her bleak eyes remained unchanged. Ignoring the hand Haruno had on her waist, Kiriko continued, "Well, like in *Black Album*, Ogiso Setsuna said... she actually likes Touma too—as you might guess, Ogiso Setsuna's character is based on myself."

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well die without leaving any future troubles.

With an extremely stiff smile, Rito Yuuki slowly turned and left, saying, "I'm going to the restroom to clean up... You guys continue."

"Ahaha... I can understand, it's just a little hard to imagine." Eriri rubbed her stiff cheeks and managed to say these words, but the amount of information contained in this topic was too much for even her to fully digest at once.

"Hey, Kazuko-chan, can you tell me how you want to die?" Her elegant smile, originally intended only to put Kiriko in an even more awkward situation, unexpectedly dragged her down with her even as Kiriko faced imminent death…

[NO.134 I support it]

When you want to get someone out of trouble, you'll cling to them relentlessly, even if you're threatened.

Like now.

They usually don't get along, but at this moment they are tacitly trying to kill each other... Of course, if looks could kill, both Kiriko and Haruno would have died countless times.

The ultimate skill for showcasing feminine power – flipping your hair!

With a faint smile on her lips, Kiriko calmly gazed at Haruno, who exuded a demonic aura. She seemed oblivious to Haruno's terrifying words, remaining seated firmly and unwaveringly close to her.

"I don't know how you'll die, but it's always good to take someone down with you before you die, and don't even mention what will happen after that... This is your own fault."

"Tsk, it seems that the open schemes really don't work on you!" Although she was clearly gritting her teeth, she still had to pretend that it was true. Miss Yang was really not willing to endure that kind of pain.

"Whether it's an overt scheme or a covert one, I have a way to deal with it. If possible, please try my method..."

"You bastard... do you believe I'll make you kneel down and beg me later?"

"Believe it or not, I'll make Yukinoko bathe in Mengniu milk every time she goes out?"

The underhanded struggle continued, but on the surface, the two still had to pretend—our relationship is actually really good, just look at the way we look at each other.

Miss Yang glared fiercely at Kiriko, and when she met those pretty but actually filthy eyes, she inexplicably shivered and looked away a little guiltyly. However, her social habits over the years allowed her to put on a disguise at this moment.

"Well, although my older sister also likes Kazuko, it's not allowed between girls~"

A thought popped into my head—this guy seems to really like guys who are a little older… A hero doesn’t ask if someone is a virgin, and a rogue doesn’t care about age?

While it's certainly nice to be noticed, I'm not in a rush to escape being single. Even if I need a shield, it doesn't need to be Kiritani Kazuko, who is a woman... Calm down, calm down.

Kiriko-chan didn't know what this guy was thinking, but since there was a way out, wouldn't not taking it only make the misunderstanding worse...? Yes, that was exactly how it was supposed to be.

Eriri seemed to feel that she couldn't remain silent any longer, and suddenly said, "Ahaha... Although same-sex relationships are strange, well, in this bizarre society, many people think that as long as there's love, there's no problem. So, Kazuko, don't worry, I won't look at you strangely!"

Finally, Eriri gave a gesture of support.

Well, actually, Eriri, no one would think your mouth is stuffed with cucumber if you didn't say anything, especially with that conflicted expression on your face. You must have thought about this for a long time before you came up with this sentence, right?

To be honest, you can just sit here and relax. Please don't waste your brainpower thinking about random things, thank you!

Yang Nai tossed her shoulder-length short hair, her eyes as cold as if she had a hormonal imbalance. "Ah, Eriri-chan, you might not believe it, but I'm actually just trying to adjust Kazuko's twisted mentality. You should know... a girl who's been a shut-in for over ten years, when she finally makes a friend, is very likely to develop a dependency on them. What I need to do is correct that..."

"No need to say anything, I understand!" Eriri gave Haruno a thumbs up, looking like she'd been there all along. "I used to have a friend like that too, but we haven't been in touch for a long time. So Haruno-neechan, you should cherish her."

...This play can't be performed anymore!

Anyone, please send someone to ease the tension.

Miss Yang Nai didn't want the current situation to reach her mother, otherwise, given her mother's personality... perhaps Yang Nai's nerves would really be pushed to the point of collapse.

However, Kiriko, who could be considered the instigator, is now watching with a faint smile, as if it has nothing to do with him—well, once this party is over, there is no possibility or need for Kiritani Kazuko to reappear.

No matter how much trouble happens now, it will only bother Yukinoshita Haruno from now on, and will not have much to do with Kirito Kazuto. Therefore, it is incredibly satisfying to see the other party's conflicted and extremely troubled expression.

As the saying goes—even a small boat can capsize in a ditch!

Speaking of which, why is it called "groin" instead of "cleavage"? Is it simply because many people are ashamed to admit they don't have cleavage?

"Thank you for your encouragement, Eriri! I'll do my best!" Holding onto Haruno's arm, Kiriko gently nuzzled Haruno's pretty face.

"Ugh!" Miss Yang Nai's skin crawled with goosebumps. It was really hard to bear having a fake woman rub her face in front of others.

"Excuse me for a moment." Without hesitation, Yono, with an uneasy smile, pulled Kiriko away slowly.

"Hey, I'm warning you, even though I'm wearing a kimono, I can hit myself when I go crazy." Kiriko had a tense expression, but because she was so used to wearing the clothes, Haruno could easily pull her away with a little force.

"See you later." Haruno waved to Eriri.

"See you later!" Eriri waved with a smile, watching the two gradually leave... How to put it, true yuri, and the kind that turns a straight person gay, is the perfect creative material.

It's a real shame that we couldn't follow the plot development and twists, but since we've become friends, it's definitely possible... to get more creative material from them.

Yuri-themed... This is the type of doujinshi used at the CM convention. If you want the plot and art style to be closer to reality, it's essential to get inspiration from them. So, I'll have to ask them for their contact information later.

Oh right, although there's still some time before the CM convention, with exams and tutoring coming up, we need to get the research done sooner rather than later... I hope they won't refuse.

After all, isn't it only natural for friends to help each other?

...Yes, that's right. The reason Eriri's behavior was so strange before was entirely because she saw readily available material—but why tentacles? Is it possible to get anything as long as it's tentacles?

I suddenly understand why Cthulhu mythos can do all sorts of things.

Smiling, Eriri stood up and walked slowly into the house. "It seems nice to watch something like this occasionally... I just wonder if we have a telescope at home... I should be able to see what those two are planning to do next, right?"

The glimmer of yuri... doesn't count as dog food!

【NO.135 Colluding with each other】

What happens when you put two people who love to sabotage each other together?

It's only natural for them to hurt each other!

I only went to the so-called celebration banquet, and I was tricked into this mess after just one sip of juice. I didn't even get a bite of food. Afterwards, I ended up hurting each other with one of the masterminds behind the scenes, competing in acting skills...

To be honest, I've never thought about becoming an idol or anything like that. After all, I'm multi-talented, and things like being an idol and showing your face in public are definitely not for me...

—What utter nonsense!

In short, the feud between me and Yukinoshita Haruko has become quite serious.

The situation has become extremely serious for both of us. Both I, dressed as a woman, and Haruno, subjected to yuri, are very unhappy, almost to the point of arguing in front of the homeowner—frankly, I want to kick this woman who still refuses to take her hand off my thigh...

Oh right, this time she didn't put her hand inside the kimono, nor did she touch upwards along the white stockings. She just pinched my thigh flesh with two fair fingers... Instead of turning purple from the pinch, it turned blue now—not because she was in heat!

"Yes, she's not a normal woman. At least a normal woman wouldn't put her hand inside her kimono and touch my thigh in front of others..."

Yes, if I had to describe her in one word, it would be 'female pervert,' or even 'female psychopath,' which could be considered a compliment...

I sat on the edge of the flowerbed, some distance from the crowd, glaring at this perverted woman.

While staring at each other won't get us anywhere, and it's unlikely we'll end up gazing at each other for a while and then suddenly saying, "We're kindred spirits and can't help ourselves," and then kissing... Yes, that kind of comical thing will absolutely never happen between me and Harunoko, unless Harunoko stops being a siscon, Shiina Mashiro becomes more worldly-wise, Shizuka-sensei finds a boyfriend, and Akane Kousaka's mental illness is cured...

"Hey Kazuko-chan, do you really not know what you can and can't say?" Seemingly feeling that pinching Kiriko's thigh would cause minimal harm, Haruno temporarily put aside her plan to continue pinching... after all, her hand was sore.

—Just like keeping your mouth open for too long, it gets tiring.

"If you knew what kind of dark history is forgivable and what kind of dark history is unforgivable, perhaps we could get along very amicably." Her smooth bangs fell from her ears as she swayed slightly, concealing her throbbing eyes, and Kiriko said expressionlessly.

—Honestly, I really want to let Haruno experience what redness and swelling are like.

You really think getting your thigh pinched doesn't hurt? Damn, it hurts so much!

I'll look for milk later... If all else fails, I'll make it myself!

“It’s enough if there are occasional instances of mutual harm, but in this situation… you’ve clearly gone too far.”

"This was all planned by Akane. I was just taking advantage of her misfortune..." Yang Nai didn't seem to feel any remorse at all, and even a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.

"You're kicking someone when they're down and you still have the nerve to say it so confidently? You really don't know where the 'Red Chrysanthemum' variety came from!"

"All I know is fried chicken." Yang Nai grinned. "I was an exchange student at the nearby Sakuragi Academy when I was in high school, Kiriko, my little cutie."

"...This can't go on." Kiriko's expression suddenly turned serious. "You weren't the only one who planned this, but right now we're the only ones hurting each other, while Kousaka is probably still having a good time somewhere. I think...shouldn't we find something for Kousaka to do?"

“That makes sense.” Yang Nai nodded in agreement, but the two who had temporarily joined forces still didn’t look too happy. “…So, can you let go of my ass now?”

"Let go of my chest first! Even though there's a bra wrap to protect me... your nails are way too long, you jerk!" Kiriko looked down at Haruno's paw and grinned in dissatisfaction. "You want to collapse the newly united front already? Haruno, you'll lose my cuteness if you keep doing this!"

"Let's...discuss how to deal with the enemy?"
