This was a bedroom with a pink color scheme that was very full of girlish heart. Sketches were scattered all over the floor, and a blonde girl wearing a green tracksuit was facing the computer, drawing something on a digital tablet.
On the computer screen was a somewhat sloppy young man, a bit like Nohara Hiroshi, only with slightly more profound eyes.
He was sitting on the sofa, holding a cute Yorkshire Terrier in his arms.
This Yorkshire Terrier's fur was mostly golden, mixed with a little bit of blue-gray, and it was raising its head to look at the young man in the drawing.
The young man was a little sloppy, but it was obvious at a glance that this Yorkshire Terrier had been taken care of very well.
The fur was smooth and shiny, brushed very neatly, and even had a few little braids, it looked just like a doll.
Looking at the young man and the Yorkshire Terrier in the drawing, Eriri's expression was very complicated.
That was over ten years of memories. She was just a high school student in this world. Dogs have short lifespans, fast metabolism, and a more sensitive perception of time.
Comparing the two sets of memories, the more vivid and profound ones were the over ten years she spent as "Kei" living with Shin-chan.
Looking at the drawing in front of her, Eriri felt irritated inside. She missed that person's embrace so much.
She wanted that person to bathe and brush her, she wanted that person to gently pat her head and scratch her chin.
But she was no longer Kei, and Shin-chan was no longer that Shin-chan.
After thinking for two days, Eriri had already made a decision, she would conquer Shin-chan. If she couldn't be Shin-chan's puppy in this life, then she would be Shin-chan's lover.
No matter what identity it was, the two of them had to spend the rest of their lives together. This time she wouldn't leave first.
Just as Eriri was fantasizing about a beautiful future life with Shin-chan, she was startled by several consecutive notification sounds from her phone.
"What the heck! Such a buzzkill!"
Picking up her phone and looking at it, Eriri furrowed her brows.
[Friend request: Aki Tomoya.]
'Childhood friend? What a joke, how could anyone be more important than that person?' Back in the other world when she was Kei, Eriri had already thought through the few interpersonal relationships she had.
Aki Tomoya, this childhood friend, thinking carefully, he had no merits. That incident in elementary school, Eriri made the wrong choice, but for a little girl, it definitely couldn't be considered a mistake.
Everyone has their own standpoint, it's impossible to always consider others at all times.
After that incident, the two of them never contacted each other again. Why add her on social media platform now?
After hesitating a bit, Eriri still accepted it. She was in the wrong for that incident, it could be considered returning a favor to Aki Tomoya.
[TAKI: Eriri, I have something to ask you.]
Aki Tomoya ran a blog called TAKI. Because of its objective and responsible reviews and refusal to accept any sponsorships, it had a decent reputation in the ACG circle.
[Kei: What is it?]
Eriri's reply made Aki Tomoya freeze for a moment. Something felt off. Although Aki Tomoya acted dense, in truth he understood everything, he was just pretending.
Eriri was just too easy to read, a tsundere and a firm believer in the childhood-friend route.
But Eriri's family background put too much pressure on him. Eriri's mother, Sayuri, was too difficult to deal with. Aki Tomoya had no doubt, if he did anything overboard to Eriri, her family would definitely sink him into Tokyo Bay.
There was no way he could be with Eriri. His pitiful self-esteem and inferiority complex made it impossible for him to accept ending up with an rich young lady.
Especially after seeing Megumi Kato at, even though the hat was picked up by Shin-chan, it made Aki Tomoya realize that a normal girl like Megumi Kato was his perfect heroine.
[TAKI: I want to make a game that's truly my own, the world's most perfect galgame! Eriri, be my character designer! Let's create the world's most perfect galgame together!]
After sending that message, Aki Tomoya felt that he had already won. 'Eriri must be overjoyed by now, right? Even if she acted tsundere, she'd definitely agree in the end!'
But after the message was sent and marked as "read," Eriri still hadn't replied for a long time. This made Aki Tomoya anxious.
Didn't Eriri like him? Didn't she always look forward to him apologizing and then them making up? Could it be she was too excited?
[Kei: What kind of game? Do you have a specific plan? What will my pay be?]
Aki Tomoya looked at the message Eriri sent and couldn't believe this was from Eriri. 'Is it Aunt Sayuri using Eriri's phone?'
[TAKI: I haven't thought that far yet, but once school starts, we can form a club! This is our bishoujo game! Isn't that exciting?]
Aki Tomoya really hadn't thought that far. Eriri, as a hentai illustrator, had very high skill. She was more than qualified to be the character designer for a game.
As for planning, script, coding, background music, Aki Tomoya hadn't thought about any of it.
He had played so many games, handling these things should be a piece of cake, right?
In anime, don't protagonists defeat villains just by shouting things like "friendship," "bonds," "promises," etc.? He was putting in 100% passion, wasn't that enough to make a game?
[Kei: Then you'd better think it through. If you can come up with a proposal that moves me, I suppose… I can give you a discount as a favor for having known each other.]
Aki Tomoya was sure now, there was no way this was Eriri on the other end of the phone. Or had Eriri's tsundere level increased again? Was she just being passive-aggressive with him?
[TAKI: I'll definitely prepare it properly!]
'Forget it, I'll talk to her in person once school starts, Eriri will definitely agree!'
'Speaking of which, what did that girl I met last time look like?' Aki Tomoya had already forgotten Megumi Kato's appearance, he only vaguely remembered she was beautiful.
She was really plain, yet again a hidden bishoujo, this kind of setting was amazing.
Aki Tomoya felt that the encounter he had was a destined encounter, Megumi Kato was his destined heroine.
Thinking of this, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but think of Shin-chan again.
'What an annoying man! But too bad, this is my game, and I'll control the story! There's no way my bishoujo game has NTR!'
———
On the other side, Eriri shook her head. Aki Tomoya was still the same, wanting to make a game without thinking about anything.
She didn't have the time to mess around with Aki Tomoya. The name "Kawakami Eri" was still quite famous in the doujin circle, and her manuscript fees were not low.
'Aki Tomoya wants to get it for free? No way!'
