Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“You always show an extraordinary obsession in these strange aspects…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha first complained with such a sentence, then opened the pull ring of the Coca-Cola and took a small sip.

You don't say, you really don't say.

The impact of the carbonation, the perfectly appropriate sweetness, plus the icy temperature.

The intense stimulation of all this combined really allowed Kasumigaoka Utaha's body to relax instantly.

Fat宅 happy water, truly lives up to its name.

Looking at Yexing sitting across from her, eating a serving of oden, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought silently in her heart.

“When it comes to the next volume, let's give the male protagonist a… habit of only drinking iced Coca-Cola.”

The two sat facing each other in silence, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was usually eloquent and sharp-tongued, suddenly didn't know what to say at this moment.

Logically speaking, it was so late, she should have gone home to rest.

It's just inexplicably… she wanted to spend more time with Yexing, even if they just sat quietly like this, without either of them speaking, it would be nice.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

With the sound of the convenience store door being pushed open, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even turn her head to look, but she already felt a strangely familiar aura, as if it were a telepathic connection.

She turned her head, and the person who came in through the door also turned her head.

“Kasumi… Pig!”

Wearing a green tracksuit and a pair of large glasses, with her long golden hair scattered down, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, carrying a large plastic bag, met Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze.

“Chihuahua…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri looked at each other, both expressing only one meaning in their eyes.

Why are you here too?

Chapter 453 Golden Hair VS Black Hair, Kasumi Utako and Kashiwagi Eri's Decisive Night

“Am I… coming at a bad time?”

Hearing Eriri's words, Yexing immediately replied with a smile.

“No, you've come at just the right time.”

“You've certainly come at a bad time.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha's words were exactly the opposite of Yexing's.

She looked at Eriri, who was wearing a green tracksuit, large glasses, and soft golden hair scattered down, although her face was still so delicate and cute, it revealed a decadent otaku aura, then looked at the large bag full of snacks and drinks in the other's hand, curled her lips, and said unhappily.

“Running out to buy snacks in the middle of the night, you wouldn't be staying up late playing games, would you? It's just like something you, the golden-haired chihuahua, would do.”

“You, I'm clearly…”

Eriri stopped suddenly in the middle of her sentence and snorted softly.

“That's right, I'm staying up late playing games, what's that to you? You perverted mother pig with an overly seductive figure!”

“Golden-haired chihuahua, you…”

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were about to start their familiar bickering routine, Yexing interrupted indifferently.

“Judging by Eriri's appearance, she should be rushing to meet a deadline.”

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Eriri to respond, he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, took out a booklet of light novels from his arms, handed it to the other party, and said with a chuckle.

“As for the reason why you need to rush to meet a deadline, I don't need to say it, you should be able to understand, right?”

“This is my…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha took the light novel that Yexing handed over and found that it was the new version of Volume 1 of "Love Metronome" that she had just picked up from the publishing house today, which was made in a hurry to see the effect of the new illustrations.

She was slightly stunned for a moment, then raised her head, saw Eriri's listless face with dark circles under her eyes, looking very tired due to lack of sleep, and then saw the few cans of coffee in the large bag she was carrying, and immediately understood.

The amount of illustrations in a light novel is actually very large.

It's not like drawing doujinshi, where there are transitional scenes that don't need to be too detailed and can be drawn casually.

Each character illustration must be very exquisite, and it can even be said that for a light novel, the importance of the illustrations is no less than the content itself.

With such a large workload, Eriri was able to complete it in such a short period of time, she must have been staying up late every day, focusing all her attention on drawing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha now understood that it was because the other party was helping her light novel complete the new version of illustrations that she had delayed her work at hand, resulting in her still buying coffee and snacks at 11 o'clock, preparing to stay up late to meet the deadline.

In other words…

Eriri sacrificed her work at hand to help her complete the newly revised version of "Love Metronome."

The moment she realized this, Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled her ridicule of Eriri just now, and only one thought remained in her mind.

I really deserve to die.

“You… you…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked a little awkward, and finally moved to the side and patted the empty seat on the bench next to her.

“If you're not in a hurry to go back, sit with us.”

Hearing this, Eriri made a face.

“Who wants to sit with you?”

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Kasumigaoka Utaha to reply, Eriri sat directly next to Yexing and raised her chin at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting opposite, as if provoking her.

“Of course, I want to sit with Yexing-kun.”

“You, you… really…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her silver teeth lightly, clenched the can of Coca-Cola in her hand, and trembled with anger.

She just didn't understand.

Usually at Private Toyosaki Academy, Eriri was always bullied by her, unable to win in arguments, and could only become furiously incompetent, revealing a chihuahua-like fierce expression that couldn't scare anyone.

But when Yexing was present, the other party had a kind of…

Superiority that she didn't know where it came from?

“By the way.”

Utaha Kasumigaoka, partly to conceal her anger, not wanting to reveal that helpless, furious look in front of Eriri, and partly out of genuine curiosity, took a few deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, looked at the "Love Metronome" placed on the table, and asked Ye Xing with some curiosity.

"This book... Didn't I use it to hit that stalker? How did it end up in your hands again?"

"Stalker?"

Before Ye Xing could reply, Eriri couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What stalker?"

"Um..."

Utaha Kasumigaoka pursed her lips, a look of hesitation on her face.

Normally, she would never tell anyone about things that would expose her vulnerability, especially her nemesis Eriri, with whom she usually didn't get along.

The problem is...

After listening to Ye Xing's words and realizing how hard Eriri was working to quickly draw illustrations for her light novel, it was impossible for Utaha Kasumigaoka not to be moved.

Although the two of them were always arguing... they were actually... friends, right?

Thinking of this, Utaha Kasumigaoka made up her mind, took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and told Eriri everything that had just happened.

What she didn't expect was that after listening to her story, the latter's expression became very interesting, even revealing a look of trying hard to hold back laughter, unable to help but smile.

"You mean..."

Eriri pointed at Ye Xing beside her, trying hard to suppress her laughter, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Faced with a knife-wielding perverted stalker... you pulled him away directly to protect his safety? That's really... hahahahaha."

By the end, Eriri couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, unable to straighten her back, truly living up to the saying, directly starting to laugh heartily.

"No..."

Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at Eriri, who was laughing heartily, her face full of speechless expression.

Did she say something very funny?

Why is this golden-haired chihuahua laughing like this?

"Hahahahahaha... too funny, it's really too funny."

Eriri laughed so hard that tears came out, while still patting Ye Xing's shoulder.

"Hahaha, knife-wielding thug... hahaha..."

Ye Xing could also understand why Eriri was laughing like this.

Speaking of which, this matter was indeed quite amusing.

In Utaha Kasumigaoka's view, a stalker with a knife, whose mental state was obviously not normal, was indeed a very dangerous person, and it was understandable to pull him away to escape.

But in Eriri's view, who knew Ye Xing's true identity, this matter became more and more ridiculous the more she thought about it.

Knife-wielding thug?

Stop joking, bro.

Ye Xing's true identity was "Kamen," after all. Don't even mention a knife, Eriri had personally seen that even bullets from firearms couldn't cause any effective damage to Ye Xing.

This kind of thing that she knew, but Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't, and even made a very funny action because of the information gap, made Eriri feel amused and also a kind of inexplicable pleasure.

Winning big.

"You guy... is starting to act up again."

Utaha Kasumigaoka first sighed helplessly, then her face showed a heavy look, and the hands holding the Coca-Cola can began to tremble involuntarily, with lingering fear.

"If I had known I would encounter such a thing... I shouldn't have held a signing event... If it weren't for today..."

Speaking of this, Utaha Kasumigaoka paused, looked at Ye Xing sitting opposite her, revealed a rare gentle smile, and softly said.

"If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in danger."

Hearing these words, seeing Utaha Kasumigaoka's expression, and feeling the faint ambiguous atmosphere in the air, Eriri frowned slightly, her face showing displeasure, and hurriedly interrupted.

"You lewd mother pig, don't be horny for Ye Xing."

Utaha Kasumigaoka clenched her silver teeth, glaring at Eriri hatefully.

"You guy... really can't change your chihuahua's barking nature..."

After saying these words, Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at Ye Xing, revealing a gentle smile, crossed her slender, round, black-stockinged plump legs together, supported her cheek with one hand, and asked with a smile.

"No one is home today... If Ye Xing has nothing to do... can you stay with me? I need to proofread the pictures drawn by this chihuahua and also check the previous plot, and maybe there will be a revised version."

"Eh, eh, eh."

Hearing these words, Eriri immediately became anxious.

"You lewd..."

Before Eriri had time to start her output, Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at her with a knowing look, and said with a gentle smile.

"Sawamura-san, you are also invited, since we all have to stay up late, why not together?"

"This..."

Eriri looked at Ye Xing sitting beside her, probing with her eyes, the latter just shrugged his shoulders, not caring.

"I have no objection."

"Then... okay."

Seeing Eriri agreeing, a look of得意(de yi, self-satisfied) flashed in the depths of Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes.

She had thought that if she invited Ye Xing alone, he might not necessarily agree to her request. Although she had just experienced that kind of frightening thing, based on her understanding of Ye Xing's personality, he was not the kind of gentle and kind warm man who would come to her house to accompany her just because she was afraid.

To put it bluntly, she and Ye Xing were not from the same school after all. Although they had interacted many times, the relationship between the two of them had not become so familiar that they could go to each other's house alone for the night.

But if Eriri was invited... then it would be different.

Utaha Kasumigaoka didn't understand why, and didn't know what exactly it was, but she wasn't stupid. She could obviously feel that Eriri knew some things about Ye Xing that she didn't. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that at least at this stage, her relationship with Ye Xing was not as good as her relationship with Eriri.
