"..."
The two Eromanga-senseis suddenly fell into a frightening silence. Even though they were still wearing masks, Sato somehow felt like his gaze had already seen through everything about them...
"Hello! I'll take one too!"
For the moment, Eriri didn't notice anything strange. Her little face was full of excitement as she picked up a doujinshi from the table in front of them.
Tsk!
Just look at this exquisite art style. As expected of creators on the same level as me!
Eriri thought happily.
The two Eromanga-senseis, meanwhile, stiffly signed their names on their respective doujinshi for Eriri.
Seeing the two signatures, Eriri revealed a satisfied smile.
At last, she had gotten a personally signed doujinshi from Eromanga-sensei. This trip had definitely not been in vain.
Sato stood behind Eriri. After she paid, it became his turn.
The people behind him tried to squeeze forward, but he blocked them with a few subtle tricks.
He picked up the two doujinshi and glanced at them, then raised an eyebrow and looked deeply at the two of them.
The doujinshi in front of each of them were different. They were probably each selling works they had personally made, though both were equally explosive in content.
"Then I'll take two copies as well... Please sign them for me."
Sato slowly spoke while looking at the two before him.
His gaze carried immense pressure, making the two Eromanga-senseis feel uncomfortable all over.
They looked resentfully at the people behind Sato and couldn't help complaining inwardly.
Weren't you all pushing so hard just now? Why can't you push forward anymore now?!
The larger Eromanga-sensei's eyes shifted slightly. In truth, this was also her first time dealing with a situation like this, so...
"Ow!"
Suddenly!
The larger Eromanga-sensei clutched her stomach and cried out. From beneath the mask came a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Sato.
"Sorry, my stomach suddenly hurts a little. Excuse me!"
Her pained voice fell, and without any hesitation she turned and directly left the booth.
"Eh?!"
The smaller Eromanga-sensei, suddenly abandoned behind, let out a startled cry like a frightened little deer. Blankly, she watched the larger Eromanga-sensei rapidly leave.
Okaa-san?!
Y-You actually just sold out your own daughter like this?!
Behind the mask, Izumi Sagiri stared blankly at the scene. Then she cautiously turned to look at Sato in front of her and stammered,
"Th-Then my stomach suddenly hurts too. Excuse me!"
Sato: "..."
Isn't acting this guilty basically the same as admitting it outright?
Sato suddenly felt too exhausted to even complain internally.
No wonder!
No wonder when he first visited the Izumi household, he had thought those illustrations looked somewhat familiar. Now that he had seen this familiar art style again, all the clues in his mind instantly connected together.
Wasn't this familiar feeling exactly Eromanga-sensei's art style?!
It was just that the illustrations displayed in Sagiri's house had all been normal character art or landscape paintings, so he hadn't connected the name Eromanga with those drawings at the time. More importantly...
Who could've imagined that Eromanga-sensei wasn't some scruffy old man, but instead two beautiful women, one older and one younger?!
Without changing expression, he grabbed the hand of Izumi Sagiri, who was just about to slip away. Under her panicked gaze, he calmly said,
"Eromanga-sensei, could you sign these for me before you leave?"
"I-I don't know anyone by that name!!!"
Sato could feel the owner of the small hand he was holding trembling slightly. Her voice was full of panic and embarrassment.
But... wasn't this just fooling yourself?
"Then forget it if you don't know them. But... could you help me write 'Izumi Sagiri is the cutest in the world' on this instead?"
Sato lowered his voice as he spoke.
"Eh?! Y-You..."
Swish!
Izumi Sagiri raised her head with a bright red face and eyes full of disbelief as she stared at Sato.
W-What is wrong with this person?!
"Izumi Sagiri is the cutest in the world" and all that...
Sato could see the exposed ears of the girl before him turning red at a visible speed, as if steam were practically rising from her head.
He couldn't help laughing softly before releasing Sagiri's hand.
Seeing this, a glimmer flashed through the smaller Eromanga-sensei's eyes. She quickly pulled her hand back and hurriedly turned to flee the booth. In her panic, she even accidentally kicked a table leg and tearfully cried out, "That hurts," but even that failed to stop her determination to escape.
This immediately sparked heated discussion among the otaku behind them.
"Eh? What's going on?"
"Why did Eromanga-sensei leave?"
"I heard it was a stomachache."
"No, I think that guy was trying to take advantage of Eromanga-sensei."
"What? He actually... Tch! He already has such a beautiful girlfriend, so why is he still making moves on Eromanga-sensei? Scumbag!"
The Enraged otaku turned and glared fiercely at Sato, but after seeing Eriri, he froze for a moment. The next second, his momentum weakened and his tone became sour.
Normies were the greatest possible blow to otaku, after all!
The discussions behind him did not affect Sato. He lowered his head and looked at Eriri, who was staring at him suspiciously with her head tilted.
"Let's go outside first!"
"You know Eromanga-sensei?"
"We'll talk outside."
Sato picked up the two doujinshi, left the money behind, and walked out of the crowd with Eriri.
Eriri cared about this a great deal. Her beautiful sapphire-blue eyes remained fixed on him the entire time without moving away.
Sato glanced at her, but Eriri's gaze did not retreat in the slightest.
He sighed and said, "Alright, I guess I do know them."
"What do you mean by 'guess'?"
"Because before this, I didn't know their identities either, just like your Kashiwagi Eri..."
"Shh!"
Eriri's expression immediately changed. Guiltily, she made a silencing gesture and glanced around, then glared at Sato in embarrassment and irritation.
"Keep your voice down!"
Sato speechlessly looked around.
"The nearest people to us are at least three meters away, and I'm already speaking very quietly."
"What if they have good hearing?"
"What, do you think they've got superhuman hearing?"
Sato complained.
