Can I draw Eromanga forever?

“Just call me Aine…”

"Guitar vocals, uh... depending on the situation, I can let go of the guitar..."

Aine looked towards a corner of the cafe. It seemed to be a small stage specially set out, equipped with professional equipment, and focusing the entire cafe's vision.

over there--

Kaname's guitar resounded.

The ten fingers are intertwined, and the strings are played with flowers, which flows out of a dazzling metallic sound.

It's simply dazzling, because it's not just a treat for the ears. The guitarist's lovely appearance, and the agile fingering that even laymen find impressive...

Every single detail is stunning.

and so.

Aine scratched her cheek with her fingertips in embarrassment and said guiltily:

"If Lenai-chan plays lead guitar...if I play rhythm guitar and vocals...well, I'll have to work harder."

I am the lead singer of Jiabajin!

This is quite frank.

Perhaps because she was facing people of the same age from another school, or perhaps because she had become friends with Kaname Rakuna, Aine spoke without feeling any pressure...

Hear the words.

Su Shi's beautiful eyes moved slightly.

With her hands crossed, supporting her soft and delicate face, she said in a gentle tone:

"By the way...Aine, you also know the keyboardist who ended the band, right? He was the lead singer from the first live, Lin You..."

"Student Lin You..."

"We are friends."

——Aine said so.

……

"Hey...news about Xiaoxiang."

After Aiyin led the stray cat away, in the cafe on the second floor of LiveHouse "RiNG", Sushi's expression suddenly became a little out of control——

"Visiting the patient... Can I go visit the patient..."

unexpected.

Just a message sent with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, Xiangzi, who always maintained a proper distance, suddenly replied "OK"?

Su Shi was surprised and delighted at the same time. She thought to herself, this was a bit like that late night when all the one-way messages she sent to Xiangzi suddenly became read...

Su Shi, who is smart and always has many ideas, didn't have time to think too much this time and was just immersed in joy.

——I can go to Xiaoxiang’s house now!

"Should I tell Li Xi again... Well, let's not do that. Too many people will disturb Xiao Xiang's rest and recuperation. Besides, everyone will probably send a message if they want to go..."

Su Shi's consideration is reasonable.

Lixi will understand, Xiaomu will understand, Deng will understand...

Then--

"Xiao Mu?"

“Aine?”

"And...stray cats?"

Former Toyokawa Garden.

In front of the magnificent European-style wall and the neat and rigorous fence, Nagasaki Suyo raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Why are you here?"

"I planted cucumbers here." Wakaba Mutsumi said calmly.

Su Shi: "?"

What an outrageous yet reasonable answer.

Did Xiaomu grow cucumbers at Xiaoxiang's house? After all, they've known each other since childhood...

However, Xiao Mu's words... She may seem cold and emotionless, but she's actually a delicate and gentle child. Would she consider visiting a patient?

possible.

not sure……

It is also possible that he really just came to water his cucumbers.

Su Shi thought to herself, nodded, and turned her eyes to the duo on the side.

"What about Aine and...Runa-san? Do you know Xiaoxiang?"

She asked a little more directly.

Because Su Shi really cares about it.

Was it because I met Lin You, and then I met Xiangzi, or was it because...

"Xiao Xiang? Hey, I only ran this far because I was chasing Lenai-chan... Hey, Lenai-chan!"

Aine explained.

but.

He had only explained half of it when Kaname Rakuna walked into the Old Toyokawa Garden as if she was a pet cat that had just come back from playing outside.

For some reason, she didn't even operate the doorbell or intercom, and the door just opened.

As if welcoming someone.

"Huh?" Su Shi was stunned.

"Is this someone else's house? Lenai-chan? Don't just run in there casually—Lena-chan? You really are like a willful cat!!"

Aiyin waved her hand, but couldn't catch Kaname who slipped away so quickly, so she could only complain in distress.

"……cat?"

Mu tilted his head.

She seemed to care a little about the "cat" that Aine mentioned, but not much.

She silently walked past Aiyin and Sushi, her steps graceful and her figure as graceful as jade.

After class.

Wakaba Mu changed into a slim and pretty dress, which was elegant and cute. The rare and colorful style was difficult for ordinary people to pull off, but on her, it gave off the feeling of an exquisite doll's outfit.

and.

She has an indescribable nobleness of a young lady, delicate and gentle.

Although he wanted to take care of his cucumber fields, Mu walked through the classical manor, his small leather shoes stepping on the bluestone slabs, passing by roses and Western-style houses...

Obviously, she is more like a quiet princess who loves roses.

Su Shi looked at it for a moment, and once again an unlikely thought emerged in her mind. She shook her head slightly and prepared to walk into the garden.

"——Ms. Nagasaki, Ms. Chihaya."

"Ok?"

"Wow...who?!"

At this moment, a light voice suddenly appeared beside him, like a summer ghost. It suddenly appeared, and to some extent, it was somewhat similar to Wakaba Mutsu from earlier.

Kimishima Ayano bowed slightly and spoke politely.

"My name is Kimijima Ayano, and I'm here to greet you two..."

"Welcome..." Su Shi muttered.

"...A maid? Su Shi, as expected, a manor this big should have maids and housekeepers, right? ...Su Shi?"

Aine seemed a little excited.

Aine, who grew up carefree, has a favorable family environment, which even allows her to go abroad and run away for fun. However, the Chihaya family has never hired a maid.

Su Shi blinked, lowered her eyes to look at Aine, and quickly returned to her gentle smile.

"nothing……"

……

As the two of them approached the western-style house in the center of the garden, they parted ways.

One person went to catch the cat.

One person goes to visit the sick.

"Ah, it looks like Lenai-chan went that way. I'll go after her! Bye, Suyo!"

"..."

Su Shi nodded slightly, maintaining an elegant posture, and waved his hands gently in front of him.

after this--

"Visiting the patient..."

"Anyway, now's the time to look after Xiangzi, right?"

Suyo muttered to herself, "Ayano seemed to be heading in the direction of Aine and Rakuna." Because of this, she had more time to think as she stepped into this elegant Western-style house.

"Xiangzi said... his family went bankrupt, but now the problem has been resolved..."

"Has Xiangzi's father regained his spirits?"

"This Western-style house and garden... I've never been here before, but it seems to be Xiangzi's former home, right?"

"That maid...is she the maid of the Toyokawa family?"

"Lin You... Could it be that Lin You moved into Xiangzi's house?"

"..."

"..."

Su Shi reasoned silently.

She went up to the second floor of the mansion, thinking, and felt that something seemed to be wrong...

After confirming the room location written in LINE, Su Shi took a deep breath and knocked on the door softly.

knock --

"Xiao Xiang?"

"……Um?"

The voice coming from inside seemed a little disembodied, as if it was because the room was so spacious and empty?

After a few seconds.

Su Shi spoke again uncertainly:

"Xiao Xiang...are you sleeping? I'm here to visit you."

"Su Shi...?"

--why?

Xiangzi's voice was filled with such doubts, but because his body was indeed weak and powerless, it was not so obvious.

The person who cautiously pushed the door open was not Lin You or Ayano as Xiangzi subconsciously thought.

Not even Mashiro, Ai, and Kikuri...
