"Asamiya-san asked me out for lunch today. She said that she has something important to tell me... that she can't let you know," Seiji told the two of them.
Mika and Chiaki exchanged glances.
"Why can't we know?"
"I don't know either."
"Did you agree to her request?"
"Yeah... because I was curious." Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
He didn't explicitly agree to Genji's request just now, but he tacitly agreed.
A moment of silence fell between them.
Mika and Chiaki felt like they'd been ambushed.
Genji wanted to have lunch with Seiji, and she even said that she had something important that they couldn't know. This made them feel a sense of danger.
They felt like they should do something, but what should they do?
Last time, Genji had gone on a date with Seiji under the guise of "sharing interests," which was why they could pretend to have met by chance and force their way in. However, this time, Genji had explicitly excluded them.
What an excellent method.
The only countermeasures they could think of were to peek and eavesdrop, but that wouldn't do.
Not to mention whether or not it would succeed, just doing it would be a bad idea.
"I'm sorry, but I won't be having lunch with you during this lunch break... is that alright?" Seiji asked as he looked at the two of them.
Mika was rendered speechless.
Chiaki blinked and smiled.
"Of course, go ahead and have a chat with the 'Princess.' I'm really curious as to what she has to say to you. If you think you can tell us later, just tell us. If you really can't, then forget it. "
Seiji nodded.
"Chiaki... what should we do?"
Mika weakly asked her friend after separating from Seiji with the excuse of going to the bathroom.
"Asamiya's move was truly beautiful. I can't think of a good way to deal with it." Chiaki sighed.
"She clearly said that she wanted to exclude us and be alone with Seiji, and Seiji agreed to her request. This basically means that she's the general, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"She won this time, Mika."
Hearing the tomboy's determination, the twintailed girl revealed a dejected expression.
"Eating lunch together once isn't much. I'm more concerned about what she wants to say to Seiji. " Chiaki continued, "I have a feeling that this lunch is the key to her attack on Seiji … I hope that my premonition is wrong."
…
During lunch break.
Seiji met up with Genji, and together they walked to a quiet corner of the campus.
"The food is pretty good … I heard that Harano classmate lives alone, so he probably made his own lunch."
When she opened the box, Genji looked at Seiji Mukai's lunchbox and said.
"I used to live alone, but not anymore. As for this lunchbox, Mrs. Landlord kindly made it for me, "Seiji said.
Yukari blinked in surprise.
"Harano classmate … did you go home?"
"No, I just have someone living with me now."
"Oh … Mrs. Landlord must be Uehara classmate's mother, right?"
"Yes, she's always taken good care of me," Seiji said as he took a bite of his food.
Genji also took a bite of her own food.
"Asamiya-san, did you make your own lunch?"
"No, I didn't. But I'm pretty good at cooking, so I can still make it if I want to. "
The purple-haired beauty looked directly at his face.
"If a certain someone is willing to become my boyfriend, I'll personally make a love lunch for you every day ~"
'Cough!'
Seiji almost choked at her sudden teasing.
Genji's face reddened slightly as she smiled at him.
Seiji felt rather awkward under her gaze, so he lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
A moment of silence fell between them.
"Asamiya-san, what was it that you wanted to talk about?" Seiji brought the topic back to business. "And before this, how did you know about this internet username?"
The "little hint" that Genji mentioned earlier was an internet username: "Sweet Cream Sweet Pork."
This wasn't Seiji's own username; it was Tomohisa Juumonji's username, which he had chatted with last night!
This made Seiji think of something, but it was only a guess, and he still needed to confirm it.
Genji's smile became rather mysterious.
"'Sweet Cream Sweet Pork' contacted me on the internet about two weeks ago, and invited me to collaborate on a dating sim game.
I was interested in collaborating on a game, but I didn't want to accept invitations from people on the internet. I talked to him and found out that the game he wanted to create didn't even have a basic blueprint yet, so I rejected him for that reason.
"After that, he contacted me again, hoping that I would consider it more, but I just brushed it off and ignored him.
"But last night, he sent me a third message, saying that the person in charge of the game's scenario had already published a story in Thunder Bunko Magazine, and that his writing ability had been recognized by a well-known light novel magazine.
"And that story's title is' I'll Die If I Don't Become Handsome, 'and the author's pen name is' Idle Dimension by the Shore. ' That's you, Harano -san. "
Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
He had told Genji about the name of his published story and his pen name during their last "conversation."
Since she was contacted by "Sweet Cream Sweet Pork," aka Tomohisa Juumonji, meant that she was actually...
"What I'm about to tell you next is an important secret that I've been keeping." Genji's face flushed red.
"I've been hiding this secret from my friends and classmates at school, and only my family knows about it.
"Harano -san, if you promise to keep this a secret, I'll tell you, and I'm even willing to join you and 'Sweet Cream Sweet Pork,' and create a game together with you!"
Seiji nodded as he looked at the purple-haired beauty's bright eyes.
"I promise that I'll definitely keep this a secret."
Genji's smile became even more brilliant.
"I'm actually an illustrator, and I started drawing for light novels three years ago. My pen name is... 'Love of Ice And Fire.'"
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Seiji was still astonished.
"Love of Ice And Fire?"
The "Romance of Ice and Fire" who drew the cover and illustrations for "I Can't Sleep Together with My Younger Sister"?
Because Seiji felt that this artist's H drawings were excellent, he even searched for this person's name on the internet and read her blog, which made him even more certain that she was a master artist.
But he didn't expect...
"You... are you really 'Love of Ice And Fire?' The one who drew the 'Sleeping with My Younger Sister?' "
Genji nodded with a reddened face.
"Ice represents blue, and fire represents red. 'Love of Ice And Fire' is a combination of blue and red, which is purple... my color," she explained in a soft voice.
'So that's how it is!' Seiji now had a sudden realization.
Heavens, this world was truly... he didn't know what to say anymore.
A beautiful girl who drew erotic illustrations... how to raise a side character, girls going into the wilderness, teacher Eroman, and so on all flashed through his mind.
'What an ero artist!
The fact that a beautiful girl is an ero artist in and of itself is enough of an ero artist! What a delusional level!! '
No wonder Genji wanted to keep this a secret. If this was revealed, she would definitely receive strange looks.
Seiji realized that telling her this secret meant that she had deep trust in him.
"I understand... I'll definitely keep my promise and keep this a secret!" he said in a serious tone.
"You can't even tell Uehara and Wakaba -san."
"Of course."
Something flashed in Genji's eyes when she saw how serious Seiji was.
"I knew that Harano -san wouldn't look at me strangely, and that he would understand and accept me, as well as keep this a secret for me," she told him in a soft voice.
'I like this side of you, and I want to be together with you.
