"Nii-san, sit here."
The silver-haired loli reached out and pointed to the floor. Perhaps because she was hiding in her own 'nest', even though she was petite, her imposing aura was quite substantial.
"Yes, yes."
Sora sat down on the floor.
"I have already drawn the Sunflower Girl, Peashooter Girl, and Wall-nut Girl." Sagiri quickly knelt down beside him, enthusiastically turning the laptop around, her voice full of expectation. "Nii-san, quickly take a look, how are they?"
Seeing Sagiri's expectant 'hurry up and praise me' expression, Sora naturally wouldn't be a buzzkill. After carefully looking at the Plant Girls on the computer, he began to praise her.
"Not bad, the art style is very cute."
"To think you could draw such cute Plant Girls in such a short time, Sagiri is actually a genius beautiful girl artist, right?"
"Keep up the good work, maybe you can become a globally renowned great artist in the future."
"..."
Hearing the triple combo of praise, Sagiri's small face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She hugged her sketchbook tightly to her chest, turned her head away, and spoke with a shy voice.
"Idiot Onii-chan, so frivolous, just saying whatever comes to mind... I won't be happy just because of your praise."
Sora: "..."
You say you aren't happy, so why are you secretly smiling!
"After praising the strengths, now we should talk about the weaknesses." Sora sat up straight.
"Eh?" Sagiri blinked and looked up. "What are the weaknesses?"
Sora reached out and pointed at the laptop, softly expressing his thoughts.
"The Peashooter Girl is fine, but the Sunflower's oppai should be a bit bigger... The Plant Girls Sagiri drew seem to all have flat chest profiles, lacking a bit of distinctiveness."
"...Nii-san really is an oppai-lover after all!"
Hearing this, Sagiri puffed out her pink cheeks, muttering quietly.
"Flat chests are a scarce resource!"
"I am not."
"Nii-san says you aren't, but you definitely really like them in your heart, right?"
"..."
Sora remained expressionless, giving up on arguing, and silently changed the subject.
"Anyway, some Plant Girls can be a bit larger. If they are all flat-chested, it will cause visual fatigue."
"I want to draw them larger too, but..." Sagiri stammered. "But I can't do it, I completely can't draw it."
Sora looked over curiously.
"What do you mean?"
Sagiri hugged her sketchbook tightly to her chest, her voice very soft.
"I only know how to draw things I have seen with my own eyes. Things drawn purely from imagination will definitely lack any sense of realism, right?"
No wonder your flat-chested Plant Girls are so cute, it turns out it is because they are realistic enough!
The corner of Sora's mouth twitched slightly as he made a suggestion.
"There are many pictures of girls on the internet, Sagiri can take a look at them."
"No way! Absolutely not!" Sagiri quickly shook her head. The girl's silver hair brushed past the tip of Sora's nose, bringing a faint, fresh fragrance. "When those girls post photos, they edit them. They are already unrealistic. And it is said that many people even use 'technology'... Using fake oppai as a reference, the things drawn definitely won't make people want to feel lewd, right?"
Sora: "..."
Wait, why did you just blurt out your true feelings!
"Ehhhh?" Sagiri's small face quickly flushed red, realizing she had a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly tried to cover it up in a panic. "I-I don't know the person who just spoke!"
"Actually, there is no need to aim for lewdness, 'Plant Girls vs. Monsters' is an all-ages game." Sora coughed lightly twice, skipping over the previous topic. "...If you can't draw them, never mind. Flat-chested Plant Girls are actually pretty good too."
"Nii-san can help..." Sagiri raised her sketchbook to block her face, exposing only a pair of shy eyes. Her voice sounded very nice, just the volume was very low. "As long as you let me see the real thing with my own eyes, I will be able to draw it... Nii-san can ask Anna to be a model. That gluttonous girl's oppai are super big, right?"
Sora: "..."
Meanwhile.
In the living room.
Anna's gaze wandered, landing on the ice cream on the table. Her gaze drifted shiftily.
"Sora has been upstairs for a long time, the ice cream is going to melt soon... It would be a waste not to eat it, right?"
"Should I help him eat it?"
"Since I was little, Mom taught me not to waste food..."
While muttering to herself, Anna guiltily reached out her right hand, her fingertips soon touching the ice-cold ice cream.
"I-It really is no good..."
"If I did that kind of thing, my life would truly be too pathetic!"
"But... but it really is going to melt, it is such a waste not to eat it..."
Looking at the ice cream in front of her, Anna struggled internally for a long time. Ultimately, she took a deep breath, raised her hand to tuck the hair falling over her chest behind her ear, and then parted her pink lips...
"Anna?"
Sora's voice suddenly rang out behind the girl.
"G-g-g-g-g..."
Anna was startled into a sputtering noise, nearly throwing the ice cream in her hand across the room.
"I wasn't! I didn't! You saw wrong!"
Question marks popped up above Sora's head as his gaze landed on the ice cream in Anna's hand.
"What is Anna doing?"
"I wasn't doing anything!" Anna's pretty face was burning hot. In her panic, she had a sudden stroke of brilliance. "Your ice cream is about to melt, I was going to put it in the fridge so it doesn't dirty the table!"
"I see." Sora didn't suspect anything. He walked downstairs, went to Anna's side, and reached out his right hand to take the ice cream. "No need to put it in the fridge, I'll eat it right now."
"Um..."
"What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing..."
Anna quietly lifted her eyes. Seeing Sora take a bite of the ice cream, the temperature on the girl's face rose again, and even the tips of her ears became flushed with crimson.
(Ahhhh! Why didn't he come out earlier!)
(If only you had been ten seconds earlier, it wouldn't have been... wouldn't have been so embarrassing!)
"Could Anna go to Sagiri's room for a bit?" Sora said while eating the ice cream. "Sagiri has a favor to ask you."
"Eh?" Anna blinked in confusion, calming down slightly. "Sagiri-chan has a favor to ask me?"
Although Sagiri had come downstairs these past two days, she rarely spoke, and even when she did, her voice was very soft. In Anna's mind, she was a shy, introverted little girl. Now that she suddenly had a favor to ask, Anna was naturally very curious.
"It's not anything urgent..." Sora didn't know how to explain it. "Anyway, Anna shouldn't force herself. If you want to refuse, just refuse."
"It sounds very mysterious." Anna stood up and headed upstairs. "I will go to Sagiri-chan's room for a bit."
Sora stood outside the door and did not follow her in.
Faint sounds of conversation soon came from inside the room, but unfortunately, he could not hear them clearly.
After a good while, the door finally opened. Anna, with a blushing pretty face, trotted out and fled in a panic.
"I am going home... goodbye!"
"..."
