Chapter 41: Eri Spencer? A familiar name

Sayu Ogiwara had been awake for a long time, lying beside Renji Kamisaka and Misaki Kamiigusa, listening to them passionately discussing animation production. She couldn't help but frown. A familiar emptiness enveloped her—the feeling of not being able to participate, of having no meaningful role in that enthusiastic conversation. Perhaps, she needed to think carefully about what to do in the future.

She realized it after she got to know Misaki Kamiigusa. It turned out that Misaki Kamiigusa, who was a bit nerdy, goofy, and prone to eccentric behavior, was actually a talented animation producer. With several animated short films she had produced, she gained a certain reputation in the industry and made a lot of money. It could be said that Kamiigusa Misaki was not short of money at all. Though not yet graduated, she had become a sought-after talent by all the major animation production companies. After graduation, she could succeed in any company.

The animation plan provided by Jin Mitaka was actually quite good. He became famous in the industry thanks to Misaki Kamiigusa. After all, that animation was produced by the two of them. Oh, and we should add Ryūnosuke Akasaka, who would help Kamiigusa Misaki work on network programs when he was in a good mood. To make Ryūnosuke Akasaka happy, the way was simple: give him a bag of tomatoes.

Why was Kamiigusa Misaki extraordinary? Because with the unique planning provided by Jin Mitaka, she was able to make animation popular, which precisely represented her strength.

Sayu Ogiwara felt she couldn't continue like this, being merely a spectator. She wanted to stay with Renji Kamisaka, to continue feeling the warmth and security this man provided. So, she couldn't be just a "vase"—beautiful but useless. For the first time, she regretted leaving school. This was, of course, because she hated the people at school who ostracized her and had psychological trauma towards school. But if she hadn't left school, she could have become better and learned more.

Renji Kamisaka didn't know that little Sayu already had an idea to make progress. If he knew, he would be happy. It meant that she would gradually open her heart to him and be willing to work hard to help him. Giving to the person you love has its own meaning. The most terrifying thing in life is losing interest in life and feeling confused and lost. Sayu no longer wanted to be lost.

Let's look at Renji Kamisaka's perspective. He seemed to hear a familiar name from Misaki Kamiigusa.

"Uh, Misaki-senpai, who did you just ask to draw the illustrations for the magical girl project?" Renji asked, curiosity wrapping his voice.

"That's Eri Spencer, the teacher famous for drawing erotic doujinshi. Hehe, Renji-kun, don't tell me you've never seen her." Misaki Kamiigusa playfully poked his face with her finger, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

Renji Kamisaka had a strange expression on his face. Eri Spencer? Isn't this Eriri Spencer Sawamura's name in the industry? What an interesting coincidence. Renji recalled the incident before he went to attend Utaha Kasumigaoka's book signing event, where the blonde twintailed tsundere girl, Eriri, came on her own initiative. Well, let's just leave it at that.

What he looked forward to most was starting missions after meeting these heroines. The Skill entries given as rewards by No Game No Life were truly amazing. The props were also very good. The Cat Bag allowed him to command 10 cats to launch cute attacks on girls. You could also add personalities favored by small animals, which was truly amazing.

"So, when does Eri Spencer-sensei plan to come see you, or will you go out and meet?" Renji continued, ignoring Misaki's teasing.

"Alright, let's meet tomorrow afternoon. It happens to be the weekend, so let's meet at Sakurasou. I don't want to go out for a while," Misaki replied, her tone relaxed. "If Miss Eri Spencer is interested, she will choose to come and meet me." Misaki Kamiigusa didn't have to use Eri Spencer's illustrations. She drew erotic comics and might not be able to meet her requirements. Besides, there was a teacher named "Eromanga Sensei" who was also very famous, and the illustrations she drew were also very sexy.

But in the eyes of professionals, is this sexual harassment? Renji smiled inwardly. This is traffic code that attracts consumers, that's money! If an illustrator can perfectly display the characteristics and charm of anime characters, it can also boost game and comic sales.

Speaking of which, Misaki Kamiigusa and Renji Kamisaka planned to make a short film about a magical girl fighting for the first time. First, produce an exciting part, which is the core content, then hand it over to a large company to gain support and start creating, raising basic funds. If I have enough money, I will set up my own animation production company and become my own boss!

After completing the animation, they both planned to make "Magical Girl" into a game based on the script written by Renji Kamisaka. Renji Kamisaka proposed the idea of creating magical girl character cards and engaging in turn-based battles. Card drawing, duels, and magical girls—these things themselves were big selling points.

Misaki Kamiigusa was instantly surprised by his genius idea, her eyes widening, then she was overjoyed, her wide smile returning. "That man is truly amazing, she loves it." There was no game company in this world that had developed a card-drawing turn-based mobile game. At most, there was the magical girl Meruru game with classic duels and exploding clothing scenes. So Renji Kamisaka could enjoy the first wave of benefits. At least he enjoyed Misaki Kamiigusa's admiring gaze.

So, he gave Kamiigusa Misaki another gift—a soft kiss on her forehead—then went to school with the lunchboxes made by Sayu and Shiina Mahiru. Of course, he still went to school with Shiina Mahiru today. After all, they all lived in Sakurasou, so they would meet every day. Therefore, getting rid of Jin Mitaka was the right thing to do.

Of course, Renji met Sumireko Sanshokuin on the way. After seeing her true appearance, Renji Kamisaka told himself that he had truly fallen in love with her—she was incredibly beautiful.

But... why were Sumireko and Shiina Mahiru puffing out their cheeks today and occasionally staring at him with their beautiful eyes, with mixed expressions of annoyance and... something else? Renji Kamisaka didn't know yet. Both girls knew about the two-on-one fight last night. Sumireko Sanshokuin even witnessed the entire process through a telescope and felt extremely embarrassed, a blush adorning her cheeks.

Renji Kamisaka was somewhat bewildered by the attitudes of these two beautiful girls. However, despite being glared at and occasionally viewed with disdain by both, they still took the train to school together. There was no significant alienation, which in itself was a good start.

Sometimes, honesty is a killer. When some girls know that he's a scumbag and are already accustomed to it, if they form a relationship again in the future, they won't be "cut off completely." If you know he's unfaithful, you still choose to be with him and don't want to leave him. Isn't this the most perfect beginning of a harem ending? This is how a time-traveler's game life should unfold.
