Can I draw Eromanga forever?

Nagasaki Suyo: "Shoko! Are you okay? Are you okay... I haven't heard from you for a long time, and Xiaomu didn't tell me which school you transferred to. What about CRYCHIC? Everyone... "

Toyokawa Shoko: "I think I will never forget CRYCHIC in my life."

Nagasaki Suyo: “Huh?”

……

Tokyo Haneda Airport.

The next flight from the UK will land in the early morning after daybreak.

Volume 110: Chapter RE: I really want to be a human

I spent many days at the "Old Toyokawa Garden".

Toyokawa Shoko on Sunday morning.

Back at my rented house in Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo, the door was open, and an old TV was playing an outdated variety show. Cheap beer cans were scattered on the floor, and my father was nowhere to be found.

"..."

Xiangzi pursed his lips.

I stood there in a daze for a while.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of moldy, dilapidated wooden boards and beer, making her feel as if she were in another world.

Xiangzi's rental was a privately owned, room-by-room apartment, cheaper and smaller than a low-end two-story apartment. It was only 30 or 40 square meters, but over 30 years old, poorly maintained and shabby. Its structure was primarily wooden, with poor soundproofing and many rotten areas.

Kita Ward, a gathering place for danchi, the northernmost part of Tokyo and adjacent to Saitama...it's packed with buffs.

Akabane was a very unsafe place, and a girl living alone would have to think twice before going there. East Exit Ichibangai was full of izakayas, and all kinds of people showed up at night. Xiangzi lived in the West Exit, so it was a bit better.

but……

Father, the father who was once so outstanding and made his daughter proud, has he ever thought about this now? She checks the pepper spray in her bag every day when she goes out and comes home.

I guess not.

Xiangzi mechanically turned off the TV, and the room was dim. She subconsciously wanted to save electricity and did not turn on the light.

Carefully avoiding the beer cans scattered on the floor, Xiangzi went to his room.

A closet that is likely less than two square meters in size.

The dark and narrow place was far from enough compared to Lin You's embrace... Xiangzi squeezed his legs together, and placed his palms on his lower abdomen, as if feeling the warmth...

Wait, that’s not right!

"what happened--"

Xiangzi picked up the dusty doll that looked like "Zhenhong" in the corner. Something flashed through his mind.

The girl was startled and immediately reached under the quilt -

empty!

is empty!

There was only a thin layer of wooden partitions, and nothing else... no money!

Xiangzi's eyes trembled, he pursed his lips and bit his teeth.

Since leaving the Toyokawa family, most of the money she saved from working hard was used to pay for rent, alcohol, food, etc.... and people came to collect debts regularly.

The remaining few tens of thousands of yuan, the girl carried with her, for emergency use. It was when she finally started to save that she started working for Lin You...

but.

The hard-earned money suddenly "disappeared" before it was deposited into the bank account...

"call……"

Xiangzi's eyes were a little red, her breathing was short, and her chest was heaving. She hugged the exquisite doll but could not feel any warmth.

Instead, his body was still shaking a little.

"what……"

Raising his head, Xiangzi took deep breaths in and out, his figure as graceful as jade, just like the doll.

Idol crying method.

Xiangzi looked straight ahead without reacting. Then, without changing her expression at all… a tear quietly slid down her wide-open right eye.

tick-

Crystal tears splashed.

Thinking of the door that had just been opened, and the shabby TV that was silently playing a variety show recording.

She realized one thing:

"Father, are you gambling again?"

"That's almost a million yen in cash. You really won't be suspicious, right?"

How much debt does your family still owe?

Xiangzi didn't know, but considering that his father was kicked out of the family, there probably wouldn't be much left.

However, it couldn't be just one million yen.

In other words, father...went gambling again.

It's really amazing. Even at this point, he still thinks of turning things around by gambling. It's a miracle that he can find a casino and walk into it...

"Father...you really don't doubt where that money came from...the way a young girl makes money quickly..."

"Aren't you worried... about me selling my body..."

Xiangzi's voice trembled and he choked a little.

The down-and-out young lady was not only beautiful and lovely, but also had a noble and elegant temperament. The highest offer she had heard so far was: 3.5 million yen for the first time.

Although it was a figure far higher than the "market price", she would never accept it even if she died.

What does my father think?

Have you never thought about anything? Or do you think your part-time job is just about doing those things?

Xiangzi bit his lips lightly.

She shook her head vigorously, her slightly blue hair swaying gently, and she told herself not to think about it anymore.

and--

With decisive movements, Xiangzi took out the few hundred thousand yen in cash that remained in his small bag, both in small and large amounts, and put them all back to where he had hidden the money.

She just picked up her doll and the black evening dress that Lin You gave her, which she had worn at the Sawamura family party.

Close the door.

Left Akabane.

Saying "goodbye" in my heart, I walked towards the "Old Toyokawa Garden".

Goodbye, father, and my cowardice.

The old Toyokawa Garden and Akabane are both located in Kita-ku, Tokyo, and are not too far apart... compared to the distance Xiangzi used to commute to work.

"...Brother, Xiangzi is so good and kind, he even left some money?"

At the corner of the street, Yuki Suho poked his head out from the bushes, muttered, and tilted his head to look, "...Brother?"

Lin You asked back: "What else, what do you think we should do?"

"of course--"

Yuki's expression became serious, his eyes lowered, and he revealed a cold smile.

She gestured on her neck with her hands, stuck out a soft red tongue, and dubbed:

“Uh-huh—”

"..."

Lin You was slightly speechless. "Then, I'll be responsible for disposing of the body. This will make us accomplices, right?"

"Oh! Onii-chan, you're really understanding, aren't you?!" Yuki's eyes lit up.

"You know nothing!" Lin You hit his sister's head a little harder.

"Wow, I hate my brother..."

Looking at Youxi who was holding her head and pretending to cry with a playful expression, Lin You couldn't help but sigh.

"Yuki, if there's anyone you don't like, it's okay for me to kill him for you..."

"Wow, I like Onii-chan~~?"

Yuki made a heart shape with her hands, and her expression became even cuter.

Lin You rubbed his sister's head and said, "Let's leave Xiaoxiang's family's troubles to the Fengchuan family... Isn't that guy a gambler? It's perfect. Let him go to jail for a few years first."

"Brother, you are so thoughtful and gentle~~!"

Yuki clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"I'm not gentle..."

Lin You denied it.

If I were gentle enough, I wouldn't always make Xiaoxiang cry, and I wouldn't have let Xiaoxiang cry while doing it that night, and reply to Nagasaki Sushi's message...

"My brother~ Yuki feels that the way you and Xiangzi play is just harmless fun at most?" At this time, Yuki said softly.

"Don't read my mind."

"Ouch..."

……

Berry pro.

In a separate office.

Miura Shiomi sorted out the data and reviews of the new "Diamond Dust" and silently summarized it in her mind:

'I feel it's not as good as the "New Kawasaki (tentative name)"!'

then.

She quietly gathered her thoughts and diligently wrote her live report: the reorganized Diamond Dust had exceeded expectations, achieving both critical and market success, and their mainstream debut was a success. The new lead singer, Hina, withstood the pressure, and their new song, "Don't Say Lazy,"...

'It doesn't feel as good as Avid!'

Miura Shiomi also made a one-sided and biased evaluation in her mind, but of course she would not write it that way in the report.

While this agent was in charge of Diamond Dust, she was secretly following the news of the musician she was promoting, Momoka Kawahara.

The songs were both written by the president and sang brilliantly in both bands. The song he sang himself was so shocking that it made people want to cry.

The God of Rock has arrived!

"When is the next live for 'Shin Kawasaki (tentative)'?... Ah, I want to see 'End of Band' too... After all, why am I working for an idol band?"

“—No complaining during work hours.”

“Ah…President!”

The sudden voice behind her made Miura Shiomi tremble all over, and her agent stood at attention.

Beads of sweat formed on the sides of his face.

The thin-framed glasses slipped down her nose, and she nervously pushed the nose pads up quickly. Her neatly cut short hair that was shorter than her shoulders shook, and she forced a smile.

"President...please listen to my explanation..."

"Tell me." Lin You raised his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and motioned her to continue.
