"Asagi-kun, hang in there! You can't transform now!" "Hanging in there is exactly whatcauses the transformation!" "Ah!Sorry, I mean, you can't hang in there!"
She gestured wildly with both hands, not knowing what she was saying, steam seemingly erupting from her head. Asagi couldn't help but laugh out loud at her incoherent, flustered appearance. Then he raised his hand and stroked her head, sighing with admiration. "Misaki-senpai is truly adorable."
Upon hearing this, Misaki Kamiigusa's delicate body trembled, and her head buzzed. Only his voice echoed within her mind. "Misaki-senpai, so cute." "Misaki, cute."
Her brain seemed to have overloaded from the compliment. Misaki Kamiigusa's face turned red to the tips of her ears, her eyes rolled back, her legs gave out, and she collapsed towards him. Asagi quickly supported her.

"Senpai!" "Misaki-senpai,are you alright?" "You fainted just like that?"Asagi was a bit speechless. Misaki fainting at this moment... wasn't she afraid he would do something? He wasn't a herbivore; he was a carnivore. If she was so defenseless, he might really make a move.
After shaking her gently twice, Misaki Kamiigusa slowly came to, her small face flushed as she moved out of his embrace. "Um,Asagi-kun, I'm sorry. I suddenly felt a bit dizzy just now." "It's alright.So, when shall we start producing the anime PV for this project?" Asagi asked with a smile.
Misaki Kamiigusa patted her burning face, composed herself, and then spoke. "Let's start today.I know you're starting at Soubu High School tomorrow, so if you can take some time to write out the plot for the first scene, I'll find someone to draw the relevant illustrations." "Okay,then I'll head back first." "Okay."
After Asagi left, Misaki Kamiigusa excitedly jumped up and down on her bed. Being able to finally produce a good work filled her with joy. Moreover, just thinking that the female protagonist of this work shared part of her name made her feel shy. Asagi-kun is really thoughtful. Unlike Jin Mitaka, who always prioritized dating his girlfriends over the tasks she gave him.
Looking at the rough plot proposal in her hand, she immediately opened her computer and contacted her friends in the anime production industry, mainly to find voice actors and illustrators. Misaki Kamiigusa was a genius anime producer; she alone could handle directing, effects, and character design. She could even do simple voice acting and illustration. However, doing everything herself would be an immense workload. She needed to contact a professional voice actor and a key animator to jointly participate in the game's OP design. If she was going to do it, she had to do it properly. Producing anime was expensive; if she didn't create an initial, captivating animated video, production companies wouldn't invest.
Soon, Misaki Kamiigusa received an illustrator recommendation. But the name was… Eri Kashiwagi-sensei? Is that okay? This sensei seems to specialize in drawing adult doujinshi, right?Misaki was a bit troubled. However, every beginning is hard, and it was worth a try. She decided to trust her friend this one time.

On the other side, in a small Western-style house—a room on the second floor of a British diplomat's residence—a woman with dyed blonde hair tied in twin tails smiled and said to her daughter: "I've secured the opportunity for you,so make sure you do well, Eri!" "I will,Mom!" The young girl, also with blonde twin tails, clenched her small fist tightly in a cheering gesture, revealing her cute little fangs. "I will definitely seize this opportunity and transform from a hentai manga artist into a professional illustrator!"

Asagi didn't know that Misaki had found Eri Kashiwagi to be the illustrator; he had already returned to his room and started writing the script. With the original plot as a reference, he completed it quickly. After careful revision and refinement, a usable anime script was ready.
At this moment, Sayu Ogiwara knocked on the door, saying she wanted to come in and clean the room. After Asagi opened the door, she scurried over and dove onto the bed, giving him a mischievous smile. Asagi rolled his eyes. "Sayu,are you sure you're not here to mess up my room?" The girl smiled playfully."Who knows?" "Besides,if the room really gets messy, it's definitely not just my doing."
Asagi raised an eyebrow, burrowing into the bed to pull her out, then hugged her close. "I don't care.Anyway, you'll wash the sheets afterwards."
After a prolonged battle, Sayu Ogiwara leaned against Asagi, her cheeks flushed. "Hey,Asagi-kun, what did Misaki-senpai pull you over for just now?" "Oh,it's about anime production. I wrote a proposal and gave it to her. She said she was very satisfied and invited me to be her exclusive planner."
Sayu Ogiwara pouted. "Is that all? You didn't do anything else?" "Like,something lewd?" "What are you thinking?Am I that kind of person?" "I think so.The first time you brought me home, didn't we do that?" "Ahem,well… I was just afraid you wouldn't want to stay here." "With a special relationship,don't you feel more at ease living here?"
Upon hearing this, Sayu Ogiwara looked him over with a half-smile, even winking, clearly not believing his words. "Alright,I was lustful. I desired your body." "Pfft,I wasn't blaming you though." Sayu Ogiwara rubbed her delicate cheek against his chest. "Honestly, I don't dislike a man who bravely admits what's in his heart."
Asagi smiled slightly. "I thought you were going to despise me and call me a pervert." Sayu Ogiwara shook her head.If he was a pervert, what was she, who actively climbed into his bed? A little pervert who couldn't get enough? Her small face flushed, and she mumbled softly. "School starts tomorrow.What do you want to eat?" "Whatever you make,I'll eat. Sayu's cooking is more than satisfying." "Also,remember to make me a bento for lunch." "Okay."

Unbeknownst to them, the next day arrived. After handing the detailed script to Misaki Kamiigusa and eating the breakfast Sayu Ogiwara made, he put on his school uniform, picked up the carefully prepared bento, and left to catch the train. The distance to Soubu High School was quite far; he had to take the train to arrive on time. It was a bit troublesome, but he felt it would be worth it.
"I'm leaving." "Have a safe trip,and come back early." Sayu Ogiwara, wearing an apron, watched him leave like a little wife, her eyes radiating a gentle glow.
From the moment she met Asagi, her bleak life seemed to be illuminated once again. Even when she couldn't see him, she felt an anticipation for their next meeting. He had just left, and she already started missing him. Touching her burning cheeks, Sayu Ogiwara happily started her housework. Unlike the cold home where no one cared about her before, this place now felt like her true home.
