Outside the office door.

The three women who bumped into each other looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they were stunned on the spot for a moment.

Two or three seconds passed.

"Huh……?"

"Sawamura...classmate?"

Shinjoka and Hasumi Kanoko spoke one after another, as if they were a little surprised why she appeared outside the door.

"Oh, oh, Shinjo-san, Hasumi-sensei."

Yingli nodded slightly in greeting to them, then put her right fist in front of her lips and coughed softly.

"Ahem, um... I heard from Miss Xiangraku that Yusuke is here, and I have something to do with him..."

After hearing her explanation, the two of them were stunned again.

Shintiao Xiang blinked twice very quickly and smiled without saying a word.

Hasumi Kanoko glanced at her in surprise, and then a friendly smile appeared on her face.

"Well~ If you are looking for Kato-kun, he is inside. Sawamura-san, just go in directly."

After speaking, the two of them left together.

Yinglili walked into the office pretending to be reserved, and closed the door very vigilantly. It wasn't until the sound of people coming downstairs was heard from outside that her body slowly relaxed.

Although there was no need to do this, she just felt inexplicably guilty.

When Fang raised her head, she saw Kato Yusuke looking at her in confusion.

A pair of steady black eyes with a bit of inquiry and exploration.

Yinglili didn't explain this, she walked to him and stopped beside him, her lips parted slightly.

"...Shinjo-san, what do you want to do today?"

"?"

Kato Yusuke didn't understand why she asked this question, but he still pondered and gave the answer.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter with the association."

"What's going on with the association...?"

Yinglili tilted her head in confusion, with a slight curiosity in her beautiful eyes, and she put on a posture of listening attentively.

"Well, it's actually nothing special. It's just that Xiao Xi and the others met a girl who needed help. They couldn't make up their minds, so they came over to ask."

"Eh? What you are talking about now...are you the kind of girl who is treated like a goddess——!"

"...Although that's true, isn't your reaction a bit too big?"

"If anything, your attitude is too casual! Apart from Serizawa-san, this is the first girl that the association wants to take in, right? Don't you even care?"

"It's not like I don't care. I just believe that Xiao Xi and the others can handle it properly."

Kato Yusuke replied casually, without further talking on this topic, and instead asked: "So, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Oh...it's nothing actually."

Eirili pretended to be calm and said: "It's me and that girl...Hashima Izumi has talked with her, so I want to tell you."

While speaking, a pair of eyes were still peeking at the boy from time to time, as if expecting something.

"...?"

Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows slightly, hesitated for a moment, then raised a hand and gently touched her furry head.

"That's it...you've worked very hard."

"Hmph, hum...! You don't need to talk about that kind of thing. Didn't I already say that I would apologize to her before...!"

Ying Lili said impatiently, but there was no hint of boredom in her tone. Instead, she sounded soft...

"...Well, that's right."

Kato Yusuke nodded, calmly retracted his hand, and coughed: "Anyway... I already know about this matter, is there anything else?"

"Eh...no more."

"Okay, let's go down then."

"oh……"

Just like that, the two people left the office together and came downstairs.

In the large office of the art department, Mayu Sagara and Demi Hashishima were sitting together chattering, talking about something unknown.

"Mayu, Dehai, what are you doing?" Kato Yusuke asked casually.

"Ah, teacher~!"

Mayu Sagara waved her hands happily and said first, "We are looking at the notebook Kashiwagi-sensei gave to Izumi, it's so awesome~~~!"

Kato Yusuke took a closer look, and sure enough he found a copy of "Little Fantasy" on the table of Hashishima Demi.

The familiar style of painting made him unconsciously glance at Yinglili who was following behind him, but the other party pretended to gently move her hair without making any sign.

He smiled slightly, said nothing, and returned to his seat to start working.

Perhaps she was determined to maintain her masterly demeanor, so Yinglili returned to her seat calmly, took a piece of drawing paper, and began to write and draw on it.

But soon, her attention was attracted by the conversation between two girls.

"Hey~ Out of the sea, can you let me see Kashiwagi-sensei's notebook?"

"Ah, yes, please take a look if you don't mind."

"Thank you~~Wow, this smooth line and color look so comfortable."

"Uh-huh……"

"What a surprise. I didn't expect that Mr. Kashiwagi could not only draw cute girls, but also draw such female-oriented works very well~"

"It's... like this."

"Ah ~ especially here! Both the composition and artistic conception are great!"

"here……?"

"Hmm~ It's just the hero carrying the heroine on his back while walking in the snow, and the last kiss on the cheek. These and other things, the brushstrokes are too delicate!"

"Ah, I also like this part the most. It's really well done."

"Na na ~ Kashiwagi-sensei, Kashiwagi-sensei!"

Xiangara Mayu couldn't hide her excitement and said: "The storyboards and plots here are great, you are so awesome!"

"~~Well, thank you."

"By the way, how on earth did you come up with such an arrangement~?"

"……Huh?"

The sudden question made Yinglili stunned for a moment, then she glanced at someone secretly, blushed slightly and said:

"...Well, I just got inspiration suddenly and drew it."

"Ahaha, so that's it~~~"

At this time, Hui and Shiyu also walked in.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, the former couldn't help but curiously asked the reason, and Mayu Sagara also openly told them about the notebook.

After listening to the explanation, Shiyu couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Hey, that Sawamura actually gave me a book about going to sea...? That's strange. When did your relationship get better between you two? Sawamura~"

"It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about that kind of thing, Kasumigaoka Shiu!"...

"See, it's this easy-going bad temper that makes you - huh? Kato-kun, what are you doing?"

"Eh~~?"

Hui raised her face in confusion and replied: "I wanted to say that everyone is probably thirsty, so I brought some drinks over. Is there any problem?"

"..."

Shiyu looked at the bottle of oolong tea placed in front of Kato Yusuke, her eyes twitched slightly, and then she walked up quickly.

"...It's really hard on you, Kato-san, but I will prepare Yu-chan's drinks from now on."

"Hmm~~ Although I don't have any objections, Kasumigaoka-senpai didn't come in with a drink. If you don't make a habit of doing this kind of thing, it's usually not easy to remember."

"...Where are you a housekeeper from?"

"Well, no matter how you say it, that's a bit too much. I don't think I should be called that... Also, this is Kasumigaoka-senpai's favorite black coffee, here you go~"

"And my...?"

"Hey, this is so strange. I thought I just said I would get drinks for everyone, right?"
