"Okay, it's my fault I haven't got trousers yet," said Ginnan. Imaginary pheromones wafted along his tense neck. "But I'm not teasing you. I swear. And thank you so much for the gift. I'll make sure the art I make for your novel isn't too bad."
And Renji's answer was really surprising.
"Thank You."

"What?"
"Did I blackmail you that much?"
"Hah?"
"Is my request too much?" Renji asked. "About the comics..."
Ginnan immediately shook his head. "No, not at all!" he said. "You know what? This would be a very promising collaboration."
"Promising?" Renji asked.
Ginnan actually laughed. "Hahaha. He-em. You're really famous. Moreover, what I made is your visual novel," he said. "By dragging my name, the fans will stamp me using your prestige to make a comeback as a comic artist."
Laughing but looking worried. Renji grabbed the face and didn't let it get any paler.
"The point is what are you afraid of?"
