Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 877: Your Highness Kasumigaoka, this is a sacred object!

Eriri struggled with whether or not to reveal the fact that she and Kyosuke traveled together during the holidays, but then she thought that even if she didn't say it, that woman from Kasumigaoka would show off, just like the last time she spread the rumor that she and Kyosuke had a child. It was totally shameless!

So this time I must strike first!

The girl told herself this, but in fact she knew very well in her heart that the gloomy girl in Kasumigaoka had no one to share her vacation with.

Then she smiled and said, "Saiko, could you please bring me the drawing board?"

The girl with pigtails jumped up like a rabbit being chased by an eagle and ran to the back row of the classroom to get Eriri's drawing board. A classmate nearby had already neatly cleared out four desks and put them together.

Ying Lili untied the dust bag, placed the drawing board flat on the table, and curled up the corners of her mouth slightly to reveal a reserved smile, ready to accept the exclamations of the crowd.

But the strange thing was that no one spoke for a while. Obviously, because they heard that the princess was going to show her new work, those who had not squeezed in to chat before stepped on the chairs and tables and leaned over to look over, but now all these people were silent.

Because everyone was sucked into Eriri's painting world.

What was shown on the drawing paper was the same rough draft that Nishimiya Yuzuru saw that day.

Unlike that day when I only drew the roof of the shrine, now the rough draft of the whole painting has taken shape.

The shrine is Izusan Jinja Shrine, but it doesn't have any particularly distinctive features.

All you can see is the coin box, the bell, and a boy and girl standing side by side in front.

The boy is tall and slender, while the girl is slim and well-proportioned. They both put their hands together, close their eyes and bend slightly, obviously praying. Although it is just a pencil draft, and the face is very small compared to the whole painting, thanks to the artist's superb skills, the girl's face can be clearly seen to be Eriri. What's more...

This guy even specially marked a golden word next to the hair that was braided into two ponytails and hung behind her.

This is incredible, the princess drew a picture of herself going to the shrine with a boy!!!

Looking at the peaceful and happy profile of the princess on the drawing paper, Honda Saeko felt a huge sadness in her heart, and inexplicable emotions overwhelmed her mind. She gritted her teeth and looked at the boy. This time, her eyes widened in shock.

Someone nearby called out first: "This, this... is this teacher Hojo Kyousuke!?"

Eriri is indeed an ultimate detail enthusiast who even looks at fashion magazines to find the buttons on her character's clothes. She has restored Hojo Kyosuke's profile, height, shoulder width, and everything else one-to-one.

"Yes, during the holidays, Kyousuke, my friends and I went to Izusan Shrine."

The girl said calmly.

friend?

Honda Saeko and others turned to look at the drawing board. Are you saying that those ghosts without faces and whose clothes are all blurry are your friends?

The place of worship takes up less than one-third of the entire painting, and the male and female protagonists Eriri and Hojo Kyosuke are even smaller. There is more of the overall scenery of the shrine and the sky behind it, and of course, there are also many passers-by as the background.

Just like what Eriri taught Yuzuru before, if you want to highlight an image, you can't just try to give it a highlight, but instead work on its surroundings.

Eriri wants to act youthful. The boys and girls make an appointment to go to the shrine together during the holidays. Is this youthful enough? Yes, but not enough.

It has to be a sunny day, climbing the stone steps with the warm and refreshing sea breeze, surrounded by smiling believers. The shrine should be solemn and dignified with beautiful scenery, and it would be best if there are one or two couples who are not very good-looking to contrast.

These are all necessary pieces of the puzzle to highlight the theme. There is no problem using reading comprehension here, because it is impossible to show the youth of boys and girls in an abandoned shrine in the deep mountains and forests. That would become Eriri's best area and it cannot be used in the exhibition at all.

As for those who were completely hollowed out, Sakura Mitsuha and the others...

What?! I have already painted it! I will paint the basic colors carefully when the time comes! I promise the hair color will be fine!

Eriri can make people see Hojo Kyosuke swinging his sword at the sky and the earth in the painting even if Mount Fuji is right in front of them, so naturally she can make people see her and Hojo Kyosuke at a glance even in a crowd.

After hearing Eriri's personal admission, the students who had been in confusion and shock suddenly opened up.

"Ah!? Did Lily actually go on a trip with Hojo-sensei this holiday?"

“What?! Is this a date trip for couples?!”

"Aho, are you stupid? Didn't Eriri draw a novel poster for Hojo-sensei before? They are very good friends, so what's so strange about traveling together? But I also think it must be a date trip!"

“Ahhhh, no! Is Princess going to fall in love too? No, I should be more sad about the fact that Hojo-sensei has a girlfriend, right?”

"They must be a couple. Didn't you see this painting? Even someone like me who knows nothing about art feels happy when I see it. If I could go to a shrine with Hojo-sensei like Eriri-san did, my youth would be perfect."

"..."

The blonde girl stood aside and listened quietly to her classmates' discussion. She didn't say anything, but the smile on her lips became brighter and brighter.

Although due to the limitations of cognition, everyone did not seriously discuss her words, but focused on her and Kyousuke's affairs, but isn't this her purpose~~

Ahhhh, so happy!

Finally I said it out!

The girl was screaming like a groundhog in her heart, but on the surface she acted calmly and told two stories that happened at the shrine. Of course, she would never tell anyone about the fact that she had spanked a big-breasted (crossed out) twice in her life. She just said that the chief priest of the shrine recognized her identity as a famous art genius and Hojo Kyosuke, and then warmly entertained them.

"I also specially prayed for amulets for everyone~ Although I don't know if the gods will be too busy if I pray to too many at once."

Eriri smiled sweetly and took out an exquisite box from the drawer, inside which were neatly placed four amulets and some small items.

Although she still has a dozen of them at home, they would be worthless if she really took out so many.

Ishizawa Hisamari, who considered herself the princess' best friend, was the first to receive the amulet for academic studies, which is basically the most popular one. After all, people who work don't have that much free time to draw lots.

"Saiko?"

Ying Lili looked at the deputy minister next to her in confusion, only to see that the guy had his hands on both sides of the table, his entire upper body leaning over the drawing board, still looking at the painting.

“Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu!”

Honda Saeko turned her head suddenly, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her whole face turned bitter.

When Eriri saw this, her face changed drastically. Her body reacted before her thoughts. She reached out and grabbed Honda Saeko's pigtails and pulled this guy away from her painting.

With a scream, the deputy minister's tears finally flowed out.

Ying Lili hugged her painting immediately, and carefully examined it from top to bottom and left to right before she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call that I didn’t soak my painting with tears.

Then she turned to look at the pigtails, and said with a surprised and concerned expression:

"Hey, Saeko, what's wrong with you? Did you see the youth shown in my paintings and couldn't help but lament your lost youth?"

"..."

Honda Saeko, who wanted to ask about the relationship between the Minister and Hojo Kyosuke, was keenly aware of the murderous aura and nodded with a sad face:

"Yes, Minister, I am so touched..."

I just wanted to show the judges the beauty of the minister, but I never expected that the minister would be even more ruthless and directly reveal his close relationship with Mr. Hojo Kyosuke.

What is this? My father is a carbon copy of the Prime Minister and my boyfriend is a Japanese swordsman?

Directly issuing death threats to the judges?

At the previous Neon Mystery Association Awards ceremony, Hojo Kyosuke not only won honors, but also overthrew a judge and a literary giant at once. His attack power and desire were simply horrifying. A few insiders also knew that after winning the award, he went straight to Beichen to use Ittoryu to defeat kendo masters across the country.

"This guy is not only a genius, but also a brutal and reckless thug."

This is a comment circulating in a certain circle.

Faced with judges and literary giants who questioned his ability to win the award, Hojo Kyosuke simply took out the private evidence of their crimes and killed them with one ruthless blow.

This is the case even when facing the hugely influential cultural world, and when facing the relatively niche art world, Honda Saeko has no doubt that if Eriri fails to win the award, given Hojo Kyosuke's fierce style of doing things, he will definitely take more direct action.

But we should always think on the bright side. If we think about it this way, I draw the minister and the minister draws Hojo teacher. So we can be considered to be taking advantage of the power of others, right?

Thinking of this, Honda Saeko's mood immediately improved, and then she became angry:

"Qiyomizu! Don't you want your claws anymore? Put down my amulet now!"

Listening to the noises of her friends, Eriri grabbed the picture frame with both hands and squinted her eyes, looking at herself, Kyousuke, and Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others...

This is youth, she was so sure in her heart.

Eriri had not guessed wrong about one thing. Kasumigaoka Utaha was not without someone to share with. Even earlier, before the morning reading started and before she went to bed, she had already thrown an amulet to Shirai Satomi.

"present..."

After saying this, the black-haired girl fell asleep on the table, just as if she had drunk some sleepy tea. The classroom was just such a place for her.

In fact, compared to Hojo Kyosuke, Kasumigaoka Utaha's obsession with going to school is more touching. Some people still have all kinds of thoughts about school, but for Kasumigaoka, the only meaning of school is to maintain attendance and wait for promotion, and even attendance can be easily solved. But she still insists on going to school and sleeping every day, which is really touching.

Kasumigaoka's action came suddenly, but Shirai Satomi, who had accurately identified her footsteps through her dog ears before she even walked into the classroom door, was able to react.

For Shirai Satomi, the day does not begin when she opens her eyes, but when she sees Her Highness Kasumigaoka Utaha.

From the moment the sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor, Shirai Rimi's nerves became active.

Only legs as plump and slender as Her Highness Shiyu's could produce such a wonderful sound. If she closed her eyes, she could even imagine Her Highness Shiyu's peerless beauty.

First, the pair of right legs in black stepped into the classroom. Princess Shiyu always stepped in with her right leg first. Perhaps this was the secret of her success. How could a person who was so disciplined even in walking not be successful? Occasionally, she would step into the classroom with her left leg first, which again showed that Princess Shiyu had the extraordinary courage to break the routine and step out of her comfort zone. She was simply the embodiment of perfection.

And then there’s the sleepy, tired face, which is even more amazing. Even the way she picks her nose is so beautiful. She is definitely a goddess who has transcended the mundane world and doesn’t care about the eyes of the world!

In short, while sitting in the classroom, Shirai Satomi seemed to be chatting with other classmates, but in fact her whole body attention was focused on the back door, so when Kasumigaoka Utaha walked towards her and threw something, she immediately stretched out her hands and caught it accurately.

But she still did not move until the beautiful figure fell asleep on the table.

She raised her hands, spread her palms and put them together, as if accepting a gift from God. Between her palms was a white amulet wrapped in plastic with the words "Academic Amulet" written on it.

After a long while, she asked dryly:

"Did Kasumigaoka-san throw something at me just now?"

The few girls nearby who were equally dumbfounded nodded stupidly, also finding it unbelievable.

Her friends' affirmation allowed Shirai Satomi to regain some feeling in her hands. The cool touch told her that there was indeed something in the palm of her hand.

Shirai Satomi's voice trembled: "Did Kasumigaoka-san also say present?"

The girls nodded again, and then all leaned over to look at Shirai Rimi's palms, who did the same. She could have pulled her hands back, but she chose to move closer, as if those hands had become something as holy as "Kasumigaoka-san's gift."

Look carefully, it is indeed an academic amulet.

Suck--

Shirai Satomi took a sharp breath and her body swayed.

I, I, I…

Am I already dead? And am I in heaven because I was the president of the Kasumigaoka Utaha fan club?

She stood up slowly and raised her hands high as if she was holding a torch.

Several people nearby were also members of the fan club. At this moment, they all looked up at Shirai Satomi's hands like members of a cult, with fanatical expressions on their faces.

"This... must be enshrined as a holy object."

Someone said that she didn't want to find out why Shirai received the gift from His Majesty Kasumigaoka, she just wanted to be the one who owned this treasure!

"Seconded!"

"I agree. We must do this. Build a crystal display case so that all members can see it!"

"..."

Others spoke out one after another.

"Ok?"

Shirai Satomi slowly twisted her neck and saw a pair of green eyes like those of hungry wolves.

"I think……"

She whispered, and then the next moment.

"Give me the way—"

The girl ran away!

Even though I have no idea how I deserve this gift, I will never share it with others!

"asshole!"

"stop!"

"..."

The others were immediately furious, but even when they were cursing, they spoke very quietly, fearing that they would disturb the sleeping Kasumigaoka-sama. (End of this chapter)
