Can I draw Eromanga forever?

Lin You: "... Rencai?"

Nina: "Ahem... I mean, what about Subaru? What should we do with Subaru? What's your relationship with him?"

Subaru: “Huh?”

"What's the relationship between me and Yu-kun?... You little bastard, I'm also a fool for having expectations of you!"

"Hmm? You wanna have a fight?"

"It's you, Jinjinna, who's suddenly talking nonsense? You've run out of courage, so you're using me as a shield, okay?"

"I... didn't!"

"oh…………?"

Subaru, a man of worldly wisdom, attentive, and gentle, and Nina, a reckless, impulsive woman, are quite amusing when they start arguing. The two girls clash heads, foreheads touching, pushing and shoving each other, engaging in a fisticuffs.

Jing Serina, a woman's child! The ruler of the band! The immortal peak in the history of girl bands! !

Lin You smiled in his heart, the little sister is really interesting.

Right, Momoka?

His eyes turned to Taoxiang beside him.

Ting——

Tao Xiang, who was sitting idle nearby, quietly opened a can of beer. She nodded and gulped down the beer, letting the liquid moisten her lips, a little of it trickling down from the corner of her mouth, sliding onto her smooth skin and curves.

woohoo-

Her eyes were slightly tipsy, though she wasn't drunk, yet she looked charming. She wanted to look at Lin You, who was blow-drying her hair behind her; he seemed a little gentler. Amidst the clamor and the whirring of the hairdryer, the noisy surroundings seemed quiet as they filled her ears.

Perhaps, she really was being kept by someone… Taoxiang thought. Although she still worked, it was much less intense and far less intense than before. Lin You didn't give her cash directly, but he covered almost all of her living expenses, not just her accommodation, but also her music equipment, her recording studio, even her stockings and boots. There was even a so-called "company car" parked in the apartment building's parking lot.

He was so good to her. Taoxiang, who dropped out of high school and worked hard to get to where she is today, was very sensible. So, that's why, after the LIVE ended that night, she caught a glimpse of the shelf next to the cash register at the convenience store and, for some reason, couldn't help but buy that...

"But... it hasn't come in handy yet. Lin You... should have thought of it..."

Tao Xiang, who always flaunted her matureness, thought like a little girl, feeling both anticipation and anxiety. When Lin You's hand lifted her hair and his fingertips caressed it, Tao Xiang couldn't help but let out a breath.

"Lin You, we..."

"Momoka-san! What are you thinking about?"

“Ah, ah… hm?”

Nina suddenly spoke up and turned to look over. This nearly broke Momoka's barely maintained air of authority, and she locked eyes with Nina, her face stern and her eyebrows raised.

"...You guys, are you done arguing?"

"Are you done arguing? Of course! There's nothing to argue about!" Rencai said righteously.

"..."

really?

Just now I felt like you two were about to fight... Tao Xiangxin said, I was worried that you would pull each other's hair?

"Momoka!"

Renai dropped the honorifics and came in front of Momoka, staring at her straight in the eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

"What...what are you thinking?"

"Now..." "Diamond Dust."

"Ah...you're asking that?"

Taoxiang was a little dumbfounded.

I thought Nina would continue with the previous questions, asking me about the arrangements between love and the band... and so on.

The result is this.

"Well...it's pretty good."

Nina: "Huh? How can you say it's good!?"

Tao Xiang: "..."

Nina: "You looked like you were in trouble just now, right?"

Tao Xiang: "…………"

Really troublesome.

Without saying it, this is the gentleness of an adult, isn't it, Niina?

——Rincai didn’t appreciate it.

Subaru smiled faintly and moved closer to Nina. He raised his phone and said, "Momoka, I think what Nina said makes sense. It's time to think about the band..."

Although a lot of strange things happened last night.

Subaru glanced at Lin You, who was blow-drying Momoka's hair, with a slightly resentful look. There was a slight reproach, but more of a playful edge, and a small wink, maintaining just the right amount of distance. She seemed like the kind of girl in the class who could please everyone.

The key is...she is so cute.

Subaru, who was so cute and sensible, clicked on the interface of his phone and said:

"See? Before our live, the number of Twitter followers of the Diamond Group just broke 10... For an idol band that was just reborn less than a month ago, that's pretty impressive, right? But—"

Subaru pulled out the account she registered and operated, "Shinkawasaki (tentative name)", and pointed at the eye-catching number:

“—20!? Are you kidding me… there’s an extra zero than before… cough cough cough!”

Taoxiang was so excited that she started coughing while speaking.

"Cough cough cough..."

She clutched her chest, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. With difficulty, she raised her head to look at the page on Subaru's phone... Was it really not a photoshopped picture?

It seems unbelievable that he could have achieved 2 followers by just holding such a small LIVE. After all, this is just Twitter, not a platform with huge traffic and high daily activity.

"Our fan base...is more than the Diamond Club? Is that true..."

“Really? The goods are genuine!”

Subaru chuckled. "Impressive, right? After that live performance, our popularity skyrocketed overnight. We could even be on TV!... We received an invitation to a variety show in our mailbox. They're so quick to react. Seriously, my grandma will definitely get wind of it soon..."

I don't know whether this statement was made out of distress or joy.

Anyway-

Rencai's expression was pure joy and complacency.

"As expected of me!"

"It's all thanks to Yu-kun... He wrote so many great songs, and we just released them for the first time at this little concert. The effect is amazing, isn't it?" Subaru corrected.

"Yes, yes..."

Nina nodded slowly.

She remembered Lin You saying that he didn't want to directly use "Kasugano Yuu's" traffic to promote the event. He also didn't want to use commercial promotion or anything like that... However, the grand event that night still created a huge sensation.

Even without direct streaming, the numerous songs attributed to "Kasugano Yuu" would undoubtedly attract countless fans. Coupled with the inherently high quality, this would attract a massive number of actual fans.

He just made a slight move! ?

Uh... I didn't even want to participate directly. But... "Kasugano Yuu"'s big hand is amazing!

Nina pondered this inexplicable connection, feeling a wave of emotion. And then—she suddenly remembered those hands pinching Momoka's peaches just an hour ago...

"Because Renai can sing...that's why I wrote the song." Lin You said at this time.

Nina: “Ah…”

"Ah what?"

"Nothing!" Nina turned her head, looked at Momoka, and immediately said, "...See? Momoka! We are the right one!"

"Is this so..."

Taoxiang was probably still a little shocked and hadn't come back to her senses yet. She just nodded slowly.

Lin You noticed her expression, thought for a moment, and then said—

"Since we've brought up the topic of the band... isn't it time to talk about some serious business?"

"Business? Signing a contract with an agency or something? Pro!?" Nina said excitedly, her eyes lighting up.

"Let's not rush that kind of thing..." Lin You said, "I mean the band. The band hasn't been fully formed yet, right? ... Like, the band name? Also, keyboardists and bassists, things like that. Let's not talk about bass for now, but keyboardists are indispensable!"

Rencai said sullenly:

"In that case, why doesn't Lin You join..."

why……

Do I have to join multiple bands at once? Otherwise, I might as well join "ANON TOKYO"!!

Lin You shook his head.

"What I want is them—"beni-shouga"."

"Their rock music... is more suitable for you than mine..."

"...You are the five most correct people."

Volume 144: Chapter : Girls Don't Cry at Night

"Ah, Onii-chan~~"

“Ciallo～(∠?ω

"Hey, brother, brother~ brother...?"

Kawasaki, Yoshinoya. Lin You just walked into the store, and it seemed like... there was something strange?

The uniformed sister sat at the bar, waving from afar. Her sideways face and figure looked adorable and delicate. Yuki tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear and reached out, grasping her brother's hand, interlocking their fingers.

"Brother, you must be happy to see me, right?" Yuki said with a smile.

"Ah, happy, happy..."

Lin You responded perfunctorily, raising his hand to ruffle his sister's black hair. He pressed her into a sitting position, lowering the pair of slender legs that had been resting on his lap.

Ayano, the attendant, sat down silently on the other side. After Renai and the other two were seated, Lin You got straight to the point—

He glanced behind the bar, at Ebizka Satoshi, who frequently cast concerned glances at him. This "kid sister," who bore a resemblance to Nina in personality—frank, earnest, and unable to conceal her inner thoughts—had felt a rather...heavy gaze from Lin You the moment he entered.

compare to.

RUPA appeared much more mature and steady, with a gentle smile in his eyes hidden between the mask and the yellow-green hair covering his eyes.

"Ms. Ebizuka..." Lin You tried to speak.

“…You know me!?”

Xiaozhi seemed to be suddenly startled, his body shook, and the employee hat on his head jumped.

She was nervous.

Lin You raised his hand and pointed at Xiaozhi's slightly... frail chest. There was an employee nameplate with her last name on it.

Of course, even without this, Lin You knew a lot about her and RUPA. And this nervousness, like meeting an idol, almost flattered, was quite interesting...

The day I first met Nina and Momoka, while having supper at Yoshinoya... Perhaps Xiaozhi hasn't recognized me yet? ... Lin You thought.

Because of a piano competition in his childhood, he unexpectedly met a girl named Ebizuka Satoshi.

"Shou...ah, Lin, Lin-kun. Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with..." Xiaozhi said with some stuttering.

"You can call me whatever you want," Lin You said. "I think it won't be long before I'm 'Shou Fang You' again."

"……Eh?"
