Doubt and Conquer

Inexplicable thoughts swirled through Utaha's heart.

While waiting for the food to be served, Utaha took the initiative to find a topic and said: "By the way, when we met and left last time, what Asahi-kun said was completely impolite."

Thinking of the line "I'm glad you're a pretty girl", Utaha was both angry and amused.

"I'm telling the truth." Asahi showed no introspection: "Facing a pretty girl will always make people want to chat more."

"Is this a compliment?"

"It has to count."

Utaha let out a "yes" and dragged on for a long time, as if deliberately creating a certain atmosphere.

After a moment of silence, with her delicate face supported, Utaha suddenly changed the subject: "Asahi-kun must have seen a lot of beauties."

"There are a lot of beautiful girls around me." Asahi is very honest.

Utaha frowned when she heard the words, quickly covered up his slight movements, and deliberately said in a provocative tone: "I wonder, how many places can I rank between them?"

Here it must be said that Utaha is a bold and restrained girl.

It's hard to endure immediate kindness, such as being embarrassed when facing certain Asahi's words and actions, and not knowing what to do.

But at the same time, after confirming his intentions, she would chase boldly and take the initiative to seek opportunities until she was completely rejected.

Asahi heard that Utaha was looking at him seriously, and glanced at her unnaturally. Under his undisguised gaze, Utaha had the urge to go downstairs and hide.

Strangely, she was the one who came up with the reason, but why didn't she know what to do.

But with the mentality of escaping and losing, Utaha insisted on staring at Asahi, but she was defeated in just a few seconds, and his eyes hung erratically.

Utaha secretly hates herself for not living up to expectations.

Seeing everything clearly, the corner of Asahi's mouth raised an attractive arc, and he said slowly, "At least the top three."

Asahi thinks Utaha is very attractive and wants to pretend to be an adult, but he can't stand it when he meets him type.

If it was the naive Aki Tomoya, he would probably be easily dealt with. But unfortunately, Asahi is not Tomoya.

Therefore, every time Utaha takes the initiative to "attack", it will always be anticlimactic, and Asahi will eat it to death.

In order to deal with Utaha, first of all, one had to have thick skin, and secondly, the most important thing was to make her have a good impression. If Utaha doesn't have a good impression, she probably won't even look at you.

Seeing Asahi's dark smile, Utaha was a little dissatisfied. She felt that she had been teased.

"Does Asahi-kun always speak so sweetly when dealing with girls? I must be wondering if what you said earlier lied to me. "The tone was a little sharp, and Utaha was hoping to win the round.

"I'm just being honest, and it's usually used on girls I like more."

Even though Asahi thought that what he said was a bit corny, it might make other people's ears tingle.

But Utaha picked up this trick, her face turned red and she turned her head to the side, and she said words like "eh", "oh" and "that's how it is" with an unknown meaning.

To be honest, underage girls are too easy to understand and easy to handle.

"Is this… a confession?" The slender fingers under Utaha's table clenched tightly, and her body couldn't help but stop a little.

"To some extent, forget it, do you want to agree?" Asahi raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to chase me, unless you show more sincerity, if you want me to just agree, I am not cheap." Utaha panicked, always feeling the script was wrong.

Didn't she take the initiative to tease Asahi, bring the relationship between the two closer, and then step by step, it would happen naturally? Why are the roles reversed?

"Pity." Asahi sighed.

Sure enough, Utaha also has the general problem of being indecisive.

Have you heard the saying that if you hesitate, you will lose?

"The food is here, please use it slowly!"

To this point, the waitress arrives right with the food and finally solves Utaha's shy and embarrassing situation.

Asahi doesn't like to talk during meals, which gives Utaha time to sort out her emotions and recover her composure. Otherwise, if Asahi continued, she might not be able to hold back his expression, showing the weak posture of a girl and agreeing.

As soon as she finished cooking, the lights outside the window were already bright, and colorful neon lights were blooming everywhere. Even after spring break, the temperature was lower than noon, and a light breeze was blowing.

If one wore clothes that were too light, one could even feel a slight chill.

"Are you coming back?" After leaving the shop, Asahi looked at Utaha.

"Mn, it's getting late."

"Okay, girl, come back early alone."

Asahi agreed, then took the initiative to send Utaha to the bus station.

After seeing her get on the bus, Asahi returns to Sakurasou.

...

Turning on the computer, Asahi saw that Kashiwagi Eri's channel was still online, so he couldn't help but message her directly.

Hasegawa: "Do you have time for missions in the next two months?"

Within ten seconds, the other party answered.

Kashiwagi Eri: "It should be fine. There is still plenty of time to prepare books for this summer's doujinshi. [Sword Art Online] illustrations could be submitted in a little over a week. Except for the scattered tasks, most of the time is relatively free. "

Hasegawa: "Okay, I may ask a question."

If only the illustrations for [Kotonoha no Miwa] that Mashiro did could complete it, but considering that it will be made into an anime movie, it would be very tiring if only Asahi and Mashiro were the original artists.

Asahi decided to ask Eromanga sensei later. After a long relationship, both parties had happily cooperated and had an intuitive impression of each other's abilities. Asahi believed that the other party would definitely not refuse the commission if she had the time.

If that didn't work, then Asahi should ask Nayuta's contact, he heard from her editor that the task would be completed and the seclusion would be completed in less than a week.

Kashiwagi Eri: "Please? Huh, did anyone illustrate your new work?"

It can be seen that she is still thinking about what happened last time.

Hasegawa: "This isn't an illustration, this is a question about an original painting from an anime movie."

Kashiwagi Eri: "What? anime movies? Why did you suddenly think of making an anime movie?"

Eriri at the computer end was slightly surprised. From what she could tell, Asahi was a genius novelist. Does he plan to change?

Hasegawa: "Right, do you have time? If not, I will find someone else."

Kashiwagi Eri: "Yes!!!"

Seeing this word appear, Asahi immediately pressed the keyboard.

Hasegawa: "Okay, I see. In two days, I will provide an overview of the characters and details."
