That was really an unfortunate encounter.

There was a young woman who accidentally made trouble with the author of her favorite work.

There was also a young woman who accidentally taught a female book lover that she had always wanted.

Because of a certain person, two girls who were supposed to have a wonderful encounter had an extremely fierce collision, which even lasted until the next day.

…

Wednesday, student union room during lunch break.

"You said she is that Kashiwagi Eri??"

"You said you were her plot director??"

“What the hell is going on?!” x2

As two melodious but unusually high-pitched voices sounded in his ears at the same time, Kato Yusuke, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately frowned instinctively.

Separated by a coffee table.

I saw two beautiful girls with different styles staring at him for a moment, with a serious attitude of interrogating and extracting confessions.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown deeper.

At this moment--

"Well, although I don't quite understand what happened, at this time, let's have some tea first, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and Sawamura-san."

As a calm voice that was completely different from the previous ones sounded in their ears, two disposable paper cups were placed in front of the two women.

Although it is called tea, at best it is just the instant wheat tea sold in supermarkets.

However, out of good upbringing, the two women still thanked the girl who served them drinks.

"Thank you, Kato-kun."

"Thank you, Kato-kun."

And with this opening——

"Ah, so it turns out that the eldest daughter of a dignified diplomat's family can only imitate other people's speech?"

"What, that's what I want to say, right!? Kasumigaoka Shiu——!!"

The atmosphere that had just calmed down suddenly became tense again, so much so that the sound of crackling electric charges seemed to be heard in the air.

"Oolong tea, please."

Sitting down next to the boy naturally, Hui looked at the two girls who were facing each other tit for tat and said, "Is it really okay if you don't stop them? Yusuke."

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but glance at the other party, and then looked away again.

"Let's wait and see. I will stop it if necessary." He said after taking a sip of oolong tea.

So Hui said no more words.

Shiyu and Yinglili were still quarreling, and the topic had extended to each other's identity.

"...Basically, I really don't have anything good to say to a prostitute like you pretending to be a young lady."

"Hey! So I told you not to keep saying that word! And if you insist on saying it, aren't you also hiding your identity as a light novel writer?"

"Ah, I didn't mean to conceal this matter deliberately. It's just that no one will live and die...well, no one has the guts to ask me about my privacy in person."

"...You don't have the effect of putting gold on your face by saying that. But just like your works, you simply look down on most people."

"Although I don't deny that there are certain facts in it, but if "most people" are like you, a drowned dog with self-destructive characteristics, then I am indeed like this."

"What, what, what, what, what... Sure enough! It is impossible for a person as thick and dark as you to write a novel with his true temperament. I actually fell into your trap before. What a big loss!"

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke, who was originally a little irritable, suddenly raised his eyebrows and felt an inexplicable laughter in his heart. For a moment, he felt that even this noisy scene seemed to have become interesting.

'This is probably the so-called dark side restraining arrogance...' He thought in his heart, and even looked at Yinglili with a little more pity.

Then he turned his gaze to the person next to him.

I saw that the pair of smart eyes were full of surprise at this time, and they were watching the two girls who were exposing each other's shortcomings quietly and curiously, exuding a sense of tranquility.

Although in terms of presence alone, Megumi's aura may not be even one-tenth that of the other two, but it will always leave a trace in someone's heart.

That is something that should not be touched or delved into.

Thinking of this, my eyes were filled with secrecy.

It was as if she felt his gaze.

The other party stared sideways.

It was like a wisp of breeze blowing across my face, so light that it didn't weigh anything at all.

The girl opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just chuckled, then lowered her eyes in silence and turned her head.

A pair of slender hands held his own bottle of oolong tea, and his white fingertips gently rubbed the bottle, wondering what he was thinking.

Although it is a long story, in fact the whole process only lasted a few seconds, which happened to overlap with the blank period caused by Shiyu's doubts.

"Before...fell?"

Shiyu, who was crossing her arms, frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Whether it's inside or outside school, I don't remember that I've ever had any interactions with you, a otaku who is obsessed with drawing erotic comics."

So Kato Yusuke interrupted at the right time.

"Maybe it's because of her disillusionment with the author as a fan of "Love Festival". After all, Yinglili has had the experience of reading your novel all night long and her eyes were swollen from crying."

After hearing his words, the two people had different reactions.

"my fans?"

Shiyu looked half awake and half doubtful.

As for Yinglili, her body trembled suddenly as if she had been stabbed in a painful spot, and then she stomped her feet hard, "Who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, and, and, or, or, things, , , , , , 1,

"Oh? So that's it."

The former had a meaningful look on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, "I don't dislike your personality that can be seen through at a glance, Sawamura."

"On the contrary, I hate your evil personality from the bottom of my heart! Kasumigaoka Shiu!" Eiriri retorted without thinking, and looked at Kato Yusuke with a dissatisfied look on her face, as if she thought he was too talkative.

At the same time, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

'This is not on the same level at all.'

Kato Yusuke secretly sighed in his heart, and then considered his words: "Also, although Shiba-senpai didn't say it, I think she should also be following the [egoistic-lily] website, didn't you notice? Eri-li.

"

"Eh……?"

Yinglili was suddenly stunned, "That is to say..."

Facing the girl who seemed to understand something, Kato Yusuke nodded and affirmed: "That means Shiba-senpai is probably also a fan of "Kashiwagi Eri". Do you understand?"

Immediately, the blond lady looked towards the dark beauty.

I saw the other party's eyes flickering slightly, but he didn't deny it, just said something vaguely.

"Well... I only took a look at it when I was paying attention to "Eromanga-sensei", but I don't deny that statement."

"…………"

"…………"

The two women fell into silence at the same time.

Although everything seems calm on the surface, in fact, they are not very peaceful inside at this time.

'Is that Kasumi Shiko my fan?'

‘Is that Eri Kashiwagi a fan of mine?’

A strange emotion enveloped both of them at the same time.

It was both a bit pleasant and a bit awkward, and at the same time mixed with a hint of inexplicable recognition.

If the angle and situation were different, if the two could meet in a more ordinary way, their encounter might be a little happier.

For example, using a book in the library as an opportunity to get to know each other as the author and reader, and have a heated discussion, and then use the identity of the creator and creator of a work to discuss and communicate with each other, and eventually lead to a happy friendship.

…

If there is such a development, it can be regarded as a good thing for both Shiyu, who has a twisted personality, and Yingli, who has no friends.

Unfortunately, because there is someone in the middle, this kind of expansion is destined to be impossible.

"Speaking of which, Kato-kun, I have a question for you."

As if to get rid of this emotion, Shiyu turned her attention to him: "As for what Sawamura-san said, you once visited her parents and promised that you would never leave her in your life...Okay...

Could you please explain it? Kato-kun."

After finishing speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Not only Shiyu and Eiri, but also Hui on the side looked over involuntarily.
