I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Amano Tomoya really didn't want to look, so he could only say helplessly: "There are obviously a group of like-minded people here, why do you have to disguise yourself? Others don't know what kind of painter you are..."

Everyone who can come here is a otaku, there is really no need to pretend.

Or did she feel restrained?

Or maybe she was embarrassed because it was the first time they came together to attend a fan convention?

No matter what the reason was, Akitomo could say with certainty that she would definitely get heatstroke if she continued like this for two hours.

"Oh, let's go."

Seeing Eriri speechless in rebuttal, Aki Tomoya sighed and went to the specific entrance with the exhibition certificate given by Tomihashima.

After Eriri caught up, she realized that the entrance was wrong, so she couldn't help asking, "Isn't this the wrong entrance?"

"Didn't I tell you? Chu Hai invited me to come over to her booth today."

Aki Tomoya replied casually, it seemed that he really didn't say that.

If he hadn't gone out to sea on Bo Island, he wouldn't have come here today.

"Going out to sea... to the island of Nara?"

There was a flicker in Ying Lili's eyes, and I don't know what she was thinking at the moment.

"Yes, it's Hajima Izumi, you know him, right? This is his first time participating in a creative exhibition. He came to invite me after moving back from Nagoya. I couldn't refuse his kindness."

Aki Tomoya nodded.

Eriri still remembered going out to sea on the island of Hama, but this time, Aki Tomoya's explanation sounded very exciting to her.

After thinking about it all night, she finally understood why Tomoya Aki had time to attend the CM fan exhibition during the summer vacation. It turned out to be for the schoolgirl named Izumi Hasima!

It makes me angry just thinking about it. If it weren’t for that junior school girl, I would never have the chance to be remembered by Aki Tomoya.

She finally understood why her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, told her this morning that others were trying their best to take her feelings into consideration and asked her to be more careful.

"calm!"

Ying Lili held her head and took deep breaths.

I'm not jealous or anything!

"Don't just stand there, you're going to be late."

Tomoya Aki reminded that he was going to be late because of Eriri, and he didn't like being the kind of person who was not punctual.

"And take off your mask. If you get heatstroke later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

As he walked into the exhibition hall with Eriri, Aki Tomoya gave her another reminder.

There are so many people in the exhibition hall, and she will be in trouble if she is wrapped up like this.

"I know, long-winded!"

Women are such trouble!

Chapter 64: Someone is eating lemons? (6/12)

Why couldn’t his childhood sweetheart be someone like Tomijima?

Tomoya Aki feels that if he stays with Eriri a little longer, he might pass away.

Are you not happy with just a few words of concern?

Hey!

Didn’t he say that you are wrapped up tightly in this hot weather, with your hat pulled down so low and your mask tight enough, do you want to become a furnace?

There were hundreds of thousands of people in the CM fan exhibition, and every exhibition hall was packed with people. With so many people, and it was August, it would be strange if so many people didn't become crazy due to the heat.

To put it bluntly, Tomoya Aki felt hot when he looked at Eriri.

Since Eriri didn't want to listen, Akitomo stopped talking and silently took her to the booth for the ship sailing to the island of Nagashima.

"Senior!!!"

Po Island went out to sea and waved and shouted from afar.

Looking at the schoolgirl running towards him with her skirt swaying, Aki Tomoya felt a lot cooler instantly.

Compared to Eriri, it looks like the normal attire for Hamima to go out to sea.

The aqua blue skirt swayed, instantly healing Aki Tomoya in the hot summer.

This is normal dressing!

Looking at Eriri next to him, Tomoya Aki sighed again.

The childhood sweetheart in fantasy, the childhood sweetheart in reality, ah...

"Yo, going out to sea."

A smile appeared on Tomoya Aki's face. It was great to have a junior schoolmate like this who would not cause him any trouble.

"Hey, who is this?"

At this moment, Hamajima Izumi also noticed Eriri who was next to Aki Tomoya.

Wearing thick black-framed glasses, a beret, suspender jeans, a coat, and a mask on his face, there was a hint of strangeness in Bo's eyes when he went out to sea.

The temperature inside the exhibition hall is gradually turning into a big steamer as the number of people increases.

Is it true that the person who came with Tomoya Aki won’t faint from the heat?

I have to admire Eriri for being able to hold on at this time.

"Eri Sawamura, um, there was one in elementary school, Izumi, remember?"

"I seem to have some impression..."

After introducing Eriri to her, Hamajima Izumi remembered a little.

However, looking at Eriri in front of her dressed like this, she still couldn't understand.

"Well, it's been so long, it's normal that you don't remember. She's my friend, and we came here to play together today."

Aki Tomoya added that if they wanted to let Hamajima go out to sea, they could just treat Eriri as someone who was there to have fun at the fan convention.

"Hello, Sawamura-senpai... isn't it hot?"

Hamima Chukai greeted Eriri somewhat awkwardly. To be honest, in this kind of weather, Eriri's outfit was enough to attract attention even if she didn't want to draw attention to herself.

Eriri's forehead was already full of sweat, but at this moment, facing her schoolmate, Namijima, going out to sea, she pretended to be tough and replied, "No problem, it's okay!"

Hearing this, Akitomo wanted to laugh.

He had already seen Eriri's red forehead, and she would be in trouble soon.

"It's almost time to start. Let me help."

Akitomo didn't bother with Eriri. If she wanted to shine, she could just continue.

When we arrived at the booth of Bo Island Shipping, we saw more and more people in the exhibition hall.

"Thank you so much for coming today, Senior. Have you been studying hard recently?"

After seeing Tomoya Aki's schedule on the day of the invitation, Hamima Chukai also knew what Tomoya Aki's plans were during the summer vacation.

To be honest, the dense handwriting really surprised her.

Although Tomoya Aki said that he had arranged some rest time, she was still a little worried.

"No, I should be the one thanking you. I can relax for a day thanks to you."

Aki Tomoya shook his head and smiled. His schedule was indeed quite tight, so it would be nice to be able to relax for a while.

I've been taking tutoring classes lately, so it's nice to relax my mind once in a while.

Looking at the two people who were already chatting, Ying Lili felt that she had been excluded without realizing it.

Although she was invited by Tomoya Aki, she has nothing to do here right now.

She had no chance to interrupt their conversation.

And it's getting hotter...

Ying Lili's forehead turned red little by little, and she felt like she was in a huge furnace.

I wanted to be a little more low-key, but it seems like I ended up making things worse.

I was looking forward to this fan fair at first, but now I feel like I'm asking for trouble...

"Take off your coat."

Aki Tomoya suddenly turned around and said.

Noticing that Eriri's eyes were already confused, he knew that this guy probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

If this continues, I will really get heatstroke.

Eriri puffed up her cheeks, but at this moment she had to obey what Aki Tomoya said and take off her coat.

After taking off her coat, she felt instantly relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when I was thinking of taking this opportunity to exchange a few words with Aki Tomoya, I turned around and found that he was chatting with Tomihashima again.

After that, Akitomo was not helping, but when he had free time, he went out to sea with Tomojima and talked about other things.

Is there so much to talk about with a schoolmate whom I haven’t seen for several years?

Aki Tomoya communicates more with Tomokajima than with his childhood friend.

But what can I say at this time?

Ying Lili lay on the table, thinking with some disappointment.

"Only twelve copies have been sold, and the illustrations are so good..."

Aki Tomoya looked at the stack of doujinshi still on the table. Unlike Eriri, what Hamajima Izumi drew was not anything restricted.

However, after watching it, Tomoya Aki felt that it was a good work, but unfortunately, Hatashi Demi had just debuted and was not as popular as Eriri.

"No, no, no, I am already very satisfied. I am already quite satisfied to be able to see so many like-minded people here, companions who like the two-dimensional world, and to share my story with everyone!"

I was not disappointed when I went out to sea on the island of Po.

It was her first time to exhibit her works, and the number of printed books was not too many. Her best hope was that they could be sold.

"But it's a pity that such good works cannot be sold out..."

While flipping through the doujinshi about Hajima Chukai, Aki Tomoya sighed.

This is what happens when newcomers first debut. Even if they have good ideas, they can’t sell them without popularity, after all, no one knows this person.

“Is it really that good…?”

Eriri wrinkled her nose, leaned over the table and muttered to herself as she looked at the doujinshi in front of her.

She had not yet read the doujinshi about the trip to the sea on the island of Hama, but only heard Aki Tomoya talking there.

I don’t know whether it was a comfort or whether Aki Tomoya really believed in the ability of Toshima Tokai, but Eriri already had the desire to take a look.

"Confirm it with your own eyes."

Aki Tomoya looked over, and his gaze made Eriri want to find a hole to drill into.

She really didn't expect that her mumbling just now could be heard by Aki Tomoya.

wanna die……

And Aki Tomoya was trying not to laugh. Why did Eriri's muttering just now sound so sour?

Chapter 65: Kashiwagi Eri (7/12)

After all, Eriri is a veteran who has debuted for many years. The name of Kashiwagi Eriri is so famous, but now she is worried about a newcomer.

Put the doujinshi of Tomihashima in front of Eriri. It's useless to just rely on others' opinions on how the work is, so it's better to let her see it for herself.
