"Nayuta Ni-san, Ni-san said that girls should be reserved! You shouldn't just blurt out dirty jokes!" Sagiri exclaimed, her cheeks burning.
"Heh~ What is Eromanga-sensei talking about? Compared to my verbal expressions, Eromanga-sensei is much more perverted when she's actually drawing, isn't she?" Kani Nayuta chuckled mischievously.
"Ugh…"
Sagiri was utterly defeated, her hands covering her face in embarrassment, hiding her expression.
…
"I really don't understand. Such annoying plots, yet every time there are so many comments, and the data for the new volume hasn't dropped much. Chihiro, are your readers all masochists?"
After venting, Yamada Elf tossed the book onto the glass table and then asked, glancing sideways.
"Masochists… Apologize to me right now! This is just because I write well! By the way, isn't Miss Elf also following along? Could it be that you're also a masochist?" Izumi Chihiro raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Of course I'm not!" Yamada Elf immediately clarified.
"Alright, I have to admit that there's something to your writing. Although it differs from my orthodox style, it's still a good path to success."
She conceded.
"Miss Elf, let me confirm, the orthodox style you're talking about wouldn't happen to be 'nudity' and 'lewdness,' would it?" Izumi Chihiro cast a strange look at her.
"What? Do you look down on sacred nudity? Having such a thought means you're the abnormal one! 'Lewdness' is the driving force of human beings; why do you deny it?!" Yamada Elf declared emphatically.
"To some extent, the latter half of what you said is correct. However, 'nudity' is just your own fetish, Elf, and it doesn't mean everyone else is the same."
He only agreed halfway.
"Nudity? That's really a strange fetish. After reading some of Yamada-sensei's works, I was greatly shocked. As for the works themselves, they're complete trash… However, Nayuta particularly likes writing naked, so we can exchange ideas if you have time."
After settling her sister, Kani Nayuta interjected at the appropriate moment, because she didn't want to see others interacting with Senior for such a long time in front of her; it was simply too annoying.
"Trash…!!"
A 'well' symbol seemed to appear on Yamada Elf's forehead.
"Although everyone evaluates it that way, Nayuta, you're still a bit too blunt. Elf is our friend, so what you're doing isn't very nice." Izumi Chihiro immediately put on a stern face.
"Sorry~ Yamada-sensei, I accidentally spoke the truth. Please don't take it to heart." Kani Nayuta bowed in apology.
"Alright, alright! Stop being so hypocritical! I already know what people online say about this guy, no need to remind me anymore!" Yamada Elf watched their 'realistic' acting, her anger disappearing in an instant, replaced by a hint of grievance.
But she couldn't blame anyone else.
There was no other way; her strength simply wasn't as great as theirs!
These two were among the top three powerhouses in the industry today; the gap in strength between them and herself was too vast!
The blonde girl sat on the sofa as if autistic, playing a mobile game, seeking warmth that didn't exist in the human world only through the game.
"Senior, is Yamada-sensei really angry?"
Kani Nayuta tiptoed, cupped her hand to her ear, and whispered.
"It's fine, Miss Elf is a very cheerful person, and her mood changes quickly. She'll be back to normal in no time."
Izumi Chihiro responded in a low voice.
A few seconds later.
The Miss Elf girl's phone screen flashed with light.
"Wow, a golden legend!!"
Yamada Elf suddenly raised one hand, her voice excited, sweeping away her previous dejection.
"See?"
Izumi Chihiro said so.
Kani Nayuta: ...
It seems I was overthinking it!
...
The brother and sister, along with Kani Nayuta, were playing an FC game in front of the TV.
"Senior, tomorrow is the Summer Comic Market. Do you want to go together?"
After finishing a game, Kani Nayuta tilted her head and asked the question as a matter of course.
Because she had been there several times before, there was no need to be reserved.
"Eh, Summer Comic Market? I want to go! I've never been to a place like that before. It sounds interesting. There must be doujinshi for explosive flame dark elf!"
Before he could speak, the blonde girl lying on the sofa sat up as if startled from a deathbed illness, actively joining the conversation.
"Okay, let's go together."
Izumi Chihiro nodded first.
Originally, he wasn't very enthusiastic, but if it was for passing the time, going to a comic market was quite fun.
"Miss Elf, your debut work might not be as famous as you imagine. After all, in doujinshi, characters that aren't lewd become more marketable when they are."
Then, he offered a sharp critique.
"…Pfft."
Kani Nayuta couldn't hold back her laughter for a moment.
"It seems that's true."
Sagiri also mused.
"…You annoying guy!"
Yamada Elf blurted out this sentence.
To have a beautiful dream shattered while still in the midst of fantasy, who could bear that?
"Ni-san, I want to go too."
Sagiri tugged at his sleeve, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Izumi Chihiro remembered this.
His sister hadn't gone either, because he had always refused her before.
Like this, everyone in the family would be out, and it wouldn't be possible to leave Mashiro alone at home, so in the end, their little group went out together.
"Senior, what about Sawamura?"
When everyone was present, Kani Nayuta couldn't help but ask about this.
After all, she was also an opponent that couldn't be ignored!
"She's busy drawing manga, no time to come along."
Izumi Chihiro gave the reason.
"I see, no time, no wonder I haven't seen her in a while…"
Kani Nayuta nodded thoughtfully.
"Then I hope Sawamura becomes a great mangaka!"
This was her heartfelt wish.
Three days passed in a flash.
Izumi Chihiro and Kani Nayuta had no particular feelings.
The three who had never been to a comic market, however, had many experiences.
Mashiro accumulated another place where she could develop stories in her manga, memorizing the structure of Akihabara for future use.
Sagiri's eyes were opened by the boldness of the doujinshi, and she couldn't help but want to try it herself.
After the initial novelty, Yamada Elf gradually became depressed.
Because she found that her own work had no doujinshi at all, whereas there were many doujinshi works for puella magi madoka magica, even an overwhelming variety of all kinds.
It must be said that the popularity of the anime adaptation was a major factor in this.
"This is a naked difference in popularity!"
Yamada Elf's eyes were red, and she clenched her fists.
I want to have an anime adaptation too!
