“Senior!”
“Mizuki-senpai, how are you?”
“You’re already feeling faint?”
Lin Xi was somewhat speechless.
Wasn't Uesugi Mizuki afraid of him doing something strange while she fainted?
He was not the type of guy who was gentle and harmless.
He was more of a predator.
With such an unguarded statement, he might actually take action.
After gently shaking her a couple of times, Uesugi Mizuki finally came to, her cheeks flushed as she left his embrace.
“Um, Lin Xi-kun, I’m sorry, I suddenly felt a bit dizzy just now.”
“It’s okay, so when do we start making the animation PV for Magical Girl Mizuki?”
Lin Xi asked with a smile.
Uesugi Mizuki patted her burning face, steadied herself, and then spoke up.
“Let’s start today. I know you’ll be going to Sōbu High tomorrow, so when you have time, write out the plot for the first scene, and I’ll find someone to illustrate the related artwork.”
“Alright, then I’ll head back now.”
“Okay.”
Once Lin Xi left, Uesugi Mizuki excitedly jumped around on her bed.
Finally, she could create a good piece of work, and she was naturally thrilled.
Moreover.
Just thinking about how the protagonist of this work shared her name, Mizuki, made her feel a bit shy.
Lin Xi-kun was really thoughtful.
Unlike San Eagle Jin, who always prioritized dating his girlfriend over the tasks she assigned him.
Looking at the rough plot plan in her hands, she quickly opened her computer and contacted her friends in the animation industry.
Primarily to reach out to voice actors and illustrators.
Uesugi Mizuki was a genius animator.
She could handle a series of tasks like directing, animation effects, and character design all by herself.
She could even do simple voice acting.
Being an illustrator was also within her capabilities.
However, if she did everything herself, the workload would be too much.
So she needed to contact a professional voice actor and an original illustrator to collaborate on the game OP design for Magical Girl Mizuki.
If they were going to do it, they had to do it right.
Producing animation was very costly.
If she didn’t create an attractive initial animation video, the animation production company wouldn’t invest any money.
Before long, Uesugi Mizuki received a recommendation for an illustrator.
But this name was… Kashiwagi Eiri-sensei?
Is that okay?
This teacher seems to specialize in drawing adult-themed doujin comics.
Uesugi Mizuki felt a bit troubled.
But, starting anything is always difficult; she decided to trust her friend one more time.
On the other side.
In a small villa.
On the second floor of a British diplomat's residence.
A woman with golden hair tied in twin tails smiled at her daughter and said:
“I’ve secured you an opportunity, so make sure to perform well, Eiri!”
“I will, Mom.”
The girl, also with golden twin tails, raised her small fist, tightly clenched, making a cheering gesture.
She even showed off her cute little fangs.
“I will definitely seize this opportunity and transition from being an adult-themed manga artist to a professional illustrator!”
Lin Xi was unaware that Uesugi Mizuki had chosen Eiri to be the illustrator; he had already returned to his room and started writing the script.
With the original plot as a reference, he quickly wrote it out.
After careful revisions and polishing, a usable animation script was completed.
At that moment, Ogiwara Sayu knocked on the door, saying she wanted to come in to clean the room.
When Lin Xi opened the door, she dashed into the bed.
She even flashed him a mischievous smile.
Lin Xi rolled his eyes.
“Sayu, are you sure you’re not here to mess up my room?”
The girl grinned playfully.
“Who knows?”
“And if the room really gets messy, it definitely won’t be just my fault.”
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, directly diving into the bed and pulling her out, then hugging her close.
“I don’t mind; after all, you’ll be the one washing the sheets later.”
After a prolonged battle.
Ogiwara Sayu leaned against Lin Xi’s chest, her cheeks flushed.
“Hey, Lin Xi, what did the senpai call you over for just now?”
“Oh, it was about the animation production. I wrote a proposal and sent it to the senpai, and she said she was very satisfied, so she invited me to be her exclusive planner.”
Ogiwara Sayu pouted.
“Is that all? Didn’t you do anything else?”
“Like, something naughty?”
“What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?”
“I think you are. The first time you brought me home, wasn’t it just that?”
“Ahem… that’s because I was afraid you wouldn’t want to stay here.”
“With a special relationship, wouldn’t it be more comfortable for you to stay?”
Upon hearing this, Ogiwara Sayu looked at him with a half-smile, blinking her eyes, clearly not believing his words.
“Alright, I admit it; I was tempted by your looks, I’m craving your body.”
“Pfft, I’m not blaming you.”
Ogiwara Sayu rubbed her delicate cheek against his chest, “A man who bravely admits his desires, to be honest, I don’t dislike it.”
Lin Xi smiled slightly.
“I thought you were going to look down on me and call me a pervert.”
Ogiwara Sayu shook her head.
If he was a pervert, then what was she doing, actively crawling into his bed?
A little blush crept onto her face as she muttered softly.
“School starts tomorrow; what do you want to eat?”
“I’ll eat whatever you make; I’m quite satisfied with Sayu’s cooking.”
“And remember to make me lunch for tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Before they knew it, the next day arrived.
After handing the detailed proposal script to Uesugi Mizuki and eating breakfast made by Ogiwara Sayu.
He put on his school uniform, grabbed a carefully prepared bento, and then headed out to catch the train.
This place was quite far from Sōbu High.
He had to take the train to arrive on time.
It was a bit of a hassle, but it was all worth it.
“I’m heading out.”
“Safe travels, and come back early.”
Ogiwara Sayu, wearing an apron, sent him off like a little wife.
Her eyes radiated a gentle light.
Since meeting Lin Xi, her dull life seemed to have been lit up again.
Even when she couldn’t see him, she found herself looking forward to their next meeting.
He had just left, and she was already starting to miss him.
Touching her flushed cheeks, Ogiwara Sayu happily began doing housework.
Unlike the cold, unwelcoming home of her past,
this felt like her true home.
