After a period of rescue, Shinomiya Kaguya slowly woke up. She lay weakly in Hayasaka Ai's arms and asked.
"Hayasaka, what were those things I just saw? Is that how ordinary people fall in love? Do they all have to do those kinds of things?"
Hayasaka Ai was a bit silent. Sure enough, this kind of thing had too much of an impact on Shinomiya Kaguya, she slowly opened her mouth to comfort her.
"Kaguya, although some of the things inside are indeed what ordinary people do, it's not entirely so. In short, you only need to know one thing.
This man named Tanaka Masao is a very dangerous person. It's always right to stay away from him."
"Mm."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded with lingering fear. Recalling what she had just seen, her body trembled.
"Oh, right, what about Fujiwara?"
At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya was like a startled rabbit, completely losing her usual calm, losing basic decision-making ability, and becoming extremely clingy.
Hayasaka Ai thought for a moment and suggested.
"We can hint that Tanaka Masao has works. Then Fujiwara student will definitely be curious and buy them herself. How she decides is her business."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded.
"Okay, that's how it is."
"Then, Kaguya, I'll go back first."
Saying that, Hayasaka Ai wanted to put away the few books on the ground. As soon as she picked them up, she heard Shinomiya Kaguya say.
"Wait, Hayasaka, leave those books."
"Leave them..."
Hayasaka Ai looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was avoiding her gaze and had a slight blush, and showed a motherly smile.
"She's also reached that age, hasn't she, Kaguya."
"Then Kaguya, get some rest early. I'll take my leave now. Once I leave, I won't be back for the whole night."
"I know, hurry up and go."
Shinomiya Kaguya urged.
After Hayasaka Ai left, Shinomiya Kaguya stood up from the ground and locked the door.
She carefully took the few books to her bed, as if holding something dangerous, and then drew the bed curtains.
Shinomiya Kaguya would pause for a long time after reading every two pages to digest the newly learned knowledge.
Hayasaka Ai did not leave directly but instead lay by the door, listening to the occasional exclamations from inside, a faint smile on her lips.
"Kaguya has learned a lot of knowledge, but I wonder if it's good or bad."
Before, Shinomiya Kaguya was a bit too innocent. Now, it feels a bit...
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. Let's keep this matter a secret for now."
If the matter of Shinomiya Kaguya reading those books got out, neither she nor Shinomiya Kaguya would have a good outcome.
...
The next day, Tanaka Masao put a backpack on his back, containing the few newly drawn books, and once again embarked on the train to Tokyo.
As for "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," he had already asked the system for an electronic version and submitted it online to Dengeki Bunko, a subsidiary of Kadokawa.
As for why he chose Dengeki Bunko, it was naturally because Dengeki Bunko could be said to be the most famous and most powerful one.
"Ding-dong~"
After more than an hour of travel, Tanaka Masao rang the doorbell of the Sawamura house again.
The one who opened the door was still the refreshing Sawamura Sayuri.
"Tanaka-kun is here, come in, come in quickly."
"Then I won't be polite, Xiao Baihe sister."
Tanaka Masao walked in with a faint smile on his face.
He was already quite familiar with the Sawamura house. The only drawback might be that he had never seen Eriri's father.
Arriving in the living room, Tanaka Masao saw Eriri sitting on the sofa. Her posture was classic.
Her arms were crossed, and her legs were crossed, giving off a somewhat haughty feeling, which was very consistent with her tsundere personality.
Seeing Tanaka Masao, she did not have a good expression, clearly still upset by the hydrangeas from last time.
So, upon seeing Tanaka Masao again, she snorted coldly in displeasure, but did not say anything.
Because Eriri had also heard from Sawamura Sayuri that Tanaka Masao had brought several new works. For the sake of new works, she could endure it for a little while.
Sawamura Sayuri took a large stack of books and said.
"Then Eriri, you entertain Tanaka-kun first. I'll go back to my room."
Originally, Eriri was very excited looking at the large stack of books, but she didn't expect Sawamura Sayuri to take them all.
"No, Mom, leave one for me."
Eriri's plea was destined to be useless. Sawamura Sayuri had already entered her room and locked the door.
Seeing that her request was hopeless, Eriri complained.
"Seriously, you always give me what's left after you've read it. What kind of mother is that?"
Eriri, in the midst of her complaints, suddenly felt a gaze from behind her. She turned around and saw Tanaka Masao.
"What are you looking at? I'm not that eager to see it. I just want to know if you've brought any more strange things."
Eriri's tsundere attitude returned.
"Alright, do whatever you want. I need to go back and work on my manuscript. I haven't had time to draw books recently because of exam revisions."
Hearing that Eriri was going to draw books, Tanaka Masao quickly said.
"I happen to be free. Do you have any extra tools? I also want to draw something."
Upon hearing this, Eriri raised an eyebrow, somewhat interested.
"You're going to draw here?"
Tanaka Masao nodded.
After a moment of hesitation, Eriri called out.
"Then come with me."
She led Tanaka Masao to her room. She was also very interested in how Tanaka Masao drew, and perhaps the two of them could have a good discussion.
Eriri's room was very large. Although it was a bit messy, it couldn't compare to Yukinoshita Yukino's house, but it wasn't as messy as she had expected.
Eriri went to a cabinet, opened the door, and took out a brand new set of Painting tools.
She had several similar sets of tools prepared in her room, and paper, of course, was all of the best quality, so there was no shortage.
Tanaka Masao took the tools and sat cross-legged by the desk. On the desk were Eriri's unfinished works.
Looking at the contents of the drawing, Tanaka Masao asked curiously.
"Eriri, do you have any references when you draw?"
Upon hearing this, Eriri's face flushed, perhaps thinking of something. She lightly coughed.
"Of course."
Saying that, she took out a wooden doll model that was impossible to discern anything from and handed it to Tanaka Masao.
"There, I always draw by looking at it."
Tanaka Masao glanced at the doll. While it could indeed help determine the proportions of a character's body, it wasn't what he wanted.
