Can I draw Eromanga forever?

Have it.

"...Shouho Yuu. Ms. Toyokawa, my previous name was Suho Yuu."

"Eh……"

"By the way, Ms. Toyokawa. I remembered something. The Sawamura family is having a party tomorrow, and I happen to be short of a female companion. Can I invite you? As a gift... uh, I don't know if this counts as an apology."

"I……"

Inexplicable.

For a moment, Toyokawa Shoko was unable to refuse properly, and more memories of the past swept over her like a tide.

The background music in my mind is the alternating cycle of Chopin and Kasuga Shadow.

She pursed her lips, raised her head, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and tried to ask what party they wanted to invite her to.

Lin You gave the answer:

It's the birthday party of the daughter of the Sawamura family.

Volume 48: Chapter I, the Fearless Contract

"It's still here..."

Looking at the luxurious villa before me, which resembled a Western castle, there were crowds of guests, luxury cars gathered in front of the gate, a bonfire was lit in the open space of the courtyard, and there were flowers, barbecues, music, fireworks, and even fine wines in wooden barrels on display.

Shoko Toyokawa gently pinched her palms and sighed in her heart.

A song called "Spring Shadow".

The stage suddenly changed from the narrow livehouse to the Sawamura family villa, which looked like a castle.

This……

Why didn’t I refuse properly?

"Toyokawa" is no longer a surname that people are proud of. I am just an ordinary working girl in Tokyo. Even the dresses that can be used to attend high-class banquets are sold out. Even if the person invited is the genius of the Suo family whom I admired as a child——

Actually.

I changed into the expensive black evening gown he gave me, adjusted my work schedule for a week, and came to this place.

Doesn't it match who I am now?

"--Ms. Fengchuan, it seems that my taste is quite good. This long dress fits you very well." Lin You said at this time with a slight smile.

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth and spoke awkwardly:

"Ah, thank you..."

Lin You lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in the black dress beside him.

This outfit, with its mysterious and strong temperament, is a bit like Ave Mujica's ob Miss.

"I, Fearless Contract."

"what?"

"Ahem... I mean, don't worry about stealing the show. I'm only attending the party tonight as Lin You, a friend of the eldest daughter of the Sawamura family."

"...Okay, okay."

The black luxury car that had been sent by the Sawamura family drove away behind them, and with the help of the doorman, the entrance corridor, the garden, the lounge area and the spacious banquet hall on the second floor were all filled with friendly greetings.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Taniyama Heavy Industries, Kiryuin Group, Shufang Family, Yukinoshita Family...

"Oh? Yu-kun is here too?"

"It's been a long time since I saw you in such an occasion..."

"——Who is this? ...She looks familiar. Could she be Yuu-chan's new love? She's cute, but Yuu-chan, you can't betray Yukino-chan!"

Yukinoshita Haruno had a friendly smile on her face. She was wearing a gorgeous dress that was elegant and bright, with smooth short hair cut to her shoulders. Her soft, snow-white feet were wearing a pair of exquisite white high-heeled sandals as she walked over and quietly elbowed Lin You.

Lin You slapped her hand away.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I had that kind of relationship with Yukino, she wouldn't have gone abroad to attend junior high school..."

"Hmm~~ Does that mean you're betraying your sister? ...By the way, what's your relationship with your sister?"

"It doesn't matter... and this is Toyokawa Shoko."

"Oh? Toyokawa..."

Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes, recalled something, turned her head, and cast a pair of delicate fox eyes at Toyokawa Shoko with a hint of meaning.

In contrast, the latter bowed and greeted awkwardly.

At this time, a young lady with gorgeous long golden curly hair came over and gently nudged Yang Nai with her shoulder, then raised a tall, thin cup.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Violet~~"

"My name is Sumire!"

Kiryuin Sumire immediately corrected sternly, shifting her gaze from Haruno to Hayashi You and Toyokawa Shoko.

She opened her folding fan and half-covered her red lips. Her exaggerated attire and gorgeous and complicated long skirt, like a stage actress, unexpectedly suited her violet-like temperament very well.

Yang Nai has an exquisite disguise and is very good at dealing with people.

Sumire, on the other hand, seemed quite natural, unable to conceal the slight smile on her lips from being called a favorite nickname by Yang No. She chatted with Lin You in a pleasant mood.

"It's really rare. I didn't expect to see You at the Sawamura family's party. I should have asked Yuxiang to come along..."

Lin You said: "Biolet, are you actually naturally black?"

"Ok?"

Kiryuin Yuto, Sumire's younger brother, a piano genius...a genius who is always second only to Suho Yuu.

In Japanese, "Yong Xiang" and "Yu Sheng" have the same pronunciation. Because of this, the young master of Kiryuin always lives in the shadow of Lin You, and people jokingly call him "quasi-Yu Sheng".

but.

That is all in the past.

"...Ms. Toyokawa, let's go over there."

Ignoring Yukinoshita Haruno's malicious gaze, Lin You exchanged a few pleasantries with Kiryuin Sumire and the others before taking his leave and heading towards the shadows.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't respond well." Shoko Toyokawa said timidly.

Lin You said, "It's okay. They're just my friends. Don't worry about them. I don't know if you've met them before, but Biolette is very thick-skinned. As for Yang Nai... ignore her."

"……is that so?"

"Of course."

Lin You handed a non-alcoholic drink brought by the waiter to the girl next to him.

The lights in the corners are different shades of dark and light.

They fell one after another on Toyokawa Shoko's black evening dress, and her blue hair was intertwined and a little hazy.

The style of this dress is not revealing, it is even a little conservative, with a beautiful bust line and a beautifully cinched waistline.

The off-shoulder design reveals only one snow-white collarbone and shoulder, adorned with a white crystal shoulder guard and edged with gold tassels. Under the light, the dress emanates a mysterious brilliance, a restrained brilliance that clings even more tightly to the body, forming layers of black pleats at the waist like cloud-like clusters.

It really does look like Miss Oblivionis.

"Zhou...Lin Jun?"

Shoko Toyokawa noticed the gazes of the people around her.

She lifted the hair by her ear and felt her heartbeat quicken a little - she felt that this was definitely not because of any reason like falling in love.

just.

In this bizarre banquet, the gorgeous lights shine on each and every dazzling celebrity.

People were coming and going, and the atmosphere was noisy.

They were all wearing expensive haute couture dresses and seemed to be surrounded by the halo of family life. The makeup of each lady and daughter was worth a fortune.

It gave Shoko Toyokawa the illusion that she was in another world.

It was like a symphony concert in Paris, France. The whole audience fell silent, the conductor raised his baton, and suddenly played the song "Spring Shadow"...

too weird.

It's incredible.

At the Sawamura family's banquet, the Toyokawa family could only barely make it...and they might not even be qualified.

and also.

The young man before him wore a dark blue suit with a long, single-button front, a stand-up collar, and gold trimmings on the hems and cuffs, paired with white trousers. The suit was straight, with a loose waist. Without shoulder pads, he had a straight, natural figure, and under the party lights, his handsome features seemed to be filtered.

Mingming was standing in the corner.

Still, many familiar and unfamiliar young ladies flocked over, chatting eagerly and gently, calling out "Youjun".

"...What's wrong? Is my outfit weird?" Lin You asked at this time.

Xiangzi: “Huh?”

How could it be so strange... It's totally...

"It's a bit strange, doesn't it? It looks like a chuunibyou cosplaying as a knight? Actually, this is a cosplay costume. I'm cosplaying as the knight Servais from 'Little Romance Rhapsody', Eriri's favorite galgame character."

Lin You said this as he put on pure white gloves.

"Eriri... Sawamura Spencer Eriri..."

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes trembled slightly, and she followed the direction Lin You pointed -

She looked up and saw a beautiful girl with golden hair as shimmering as glass. She looked like a delicate princess from a fairy tale, her manners impeccable. She was surrounded by a number of people, and a petite, dark-haired girl stood out from the crowd. She smiled, picked up the juice from the waiter's hand, and offered a toast from afar.

Lin You also held the wine glass in his hand and returned the toast with a smile.

"The blonde one is Eriri, and the black-haired one... is my sister."

"Eh……"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slowly.

In the reception room, the two dazzling young ladies of the Chinese ethnic group exchanged a few words in each other's ears, then walked towards them with smiles on their faces.

For a moment, Xiangzi was a little nervous. She adjusted her appearance and expression a little, but when she looked up, she saw Lin You beside her looking like he was bothered.

Eh?

Too troublesome?

Lin You said, "Ms. Fengchuan... I'm going to the bathroom. See you later. They shouldn't give you any trouble."

"Oh, alright."

Xiangzi nodded somewhat confusedly.

She stared at Lin You's departing figure for a while. The banquet seemed to have fully begun at this time. It was as if a light rose into the sky outside the glass window of the castle's rose window, followed by a snap—

The light burst into life and fireworks came into view.

It’s as if the song “Spring Shadow” hasn’t ended yet.

Xiangzi rubbed her eyes and looked again. She didn't see Lin You's back. She saw Mrs. Sawamura in the center of the crowd, like a star surrounded by moons, attracting almost everyone's attention. She was truly a beauty from all directions. At the same time, the daughters of the Sawamura family and the Suho family walked up to Xiangzi Toyokawa.

……

"...Hey, Dad, why are you here too?"

A few minutes later.

In the corner of the living room, Lin You clinked glasses with the man.

The latter seemed to have a wry smile on his face, shook his head and sighed softly.
