"No way! I absolutely refuse to lose this one!" Hinata Rion clattered over in her high heels to stand in front of Shirakawa Sawahei, demanding, "Mr. Shirakawa, let’s see who knows Jin better!"
"It’s you, without a doubt, it’s you."
"I don’t want you to use such a tone to let win! Let’s have a fair and square competition!"
Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, "I just happen to know so cute aspects of her personality, but in terms of understanding, of course, childhood friend Manager Hiyama has the upper hand."
"Do you really think so?"
"Absolutely."
If Ise Yu Orikin were Shirakawa Sawahei’s study partner, he’d dare to compare. But this competition seems a bit ridiculous...
Shirakawa Sawahei thought that even if one day he really got Orikin as his study partner, he would never vie with Hinata Rion for the title of who knows her better.
Wait a minute, why am I naturally assuming turning the slacker girl into a study partner to consider this...
"Well... since Mr. Shirakawa said so, I’ll reluctantly accept the title~" Hinata Rion was quite satisfied with Shirakawa Sawahei’s concession.
"Now that the gift is settled, how should we decide on the format of the surprise birthday party?"
"If you ask , a tail-following surprise..."
"No, no, no, a birthday surprise of course should have a surprise party atmosphere."
"How about a two-dinsional thed party? A mini cosplay event!"
Seeing that opinions couldn’t be unified, several girls all turned their gaze towards Shirakawa Sawahei at the sa ti.
Shirakawa Sawahei only felt a headache coming on, not wanting to entangle with these girls any further.
"How about we just throw an ordinary birthday party, no surprises, no unexpected situations, just giving gifts and singing happy birthday, keep it simple."
"Mr. Shirakawa, you..."
"No... Manager Rion, I think Mr. Shirakawa’s suggestion isn’t that simple." Koyama Haruko pondered for a mont and said, "Orikin has experienced many surprise birthdays over the years, and this ti she might secretly be expecting sothing for her birthday on Friday."
"Since she’s guessing we’re planning so surprise, let’s do the opposite and make it a plain but warm birthday party."
"In that case, Orikin will definitely be surprised!"
Hinata Rion was bewildered by this operation layered in tricks.
"It seems... to make so sense..."
Shirakawa Sawahei looked shocked at Koyama Haruko, who seed normal enough but turned out to be on the fifth level too.
"Mr. Shirakawa, you could even think of this, no wonder it’s you!"
Shirakawa Sawahei quietly didn’t speak, just hoping this discussion about the birthday party would end soon...
"Great! In that case, we must plan a surprising and unforgettable birthday for Jin!"
"And we can also celebrate that guy’s return to the old trade, gloriously returning~"
Shirakawa Sawahei was dumbfounded: "Miss Hinata... you just said Ise Yu is back in business..."
Hinata Rion blinked innocently: "Yeah."
"Is it the kind of return I understand? Didn’t she say she stopped writing..."
"Yes."
The maid girl, seeing them riddling with each other, was imdiately dissatisfied: "Manager~ what are you talking about."
"This isn’t sothing a child should hear~"
With that, the Minotaur Artist pulled Shirakawa Sawahei aside and whispered, "Although it’s unethical to leak this news to you, I can’t hold back my desire to comnt."
Though Shirakawa Sawahei was shocked by Pure Love War God Ise Yu’s return, for Hinata Rion, it probably wasn’t much of a surprise, right?
"Your comnt... is about Ise Yu’s return after claiming to have stopped writing?"
"That’s totally fake, okay? Jin just temporarily didn’t have ti to work, not really quit. She was just fooling you."
Shirakawa Sawahei: Ha, won.
"What’s truly shocking is not her action, but the the of her first work after a long silence."
A sudden ominous feeling flashed through Shirakawa Sawahei’s mind.
"It’s a pure love manga about a female high school ghost..." Hinata Rion’s tone was a bit low: "And the male protagonist’s na... is the pseudonym you use, Mr. Shirakawa!"
"?"
"Is it the katakana... hiragana type?"
"Yes! Just like in ga ani, where pseudonyms are often used as ga nas! You must have seen Kirito Maru..."
"..."
"Don’t worry~ the character design of that manga’s male protagonist is different from Mr. Shirakawa..." Hinata Rion comforted, "That guy in the story is a Virgo with OCD, a double-standard iron scumbag... And he has a bad habit of showing off."
"Jin might be hinting at you a little, but only a little. I do this kind of thing all the ti too~"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "???"
A little hint?
This ti the fist really clenched hard.
Goodness, just a few days without discipline, this slacker girl dares to pull such a stunt behind my back!
Is this what they call the manga artist’s fury!
Though Pure Love War God’s fury is a bit more acceptable than the Minotaur’s fury, I didn’t expect that as a male protagonist with a system on my side, I would suffer grievances!
Life and death friends? Neon Ning Cai Chen?
You have so guts to give a grass python hero! I’ll be completely convinced!
Shirakawa Sawahei’s face darkened instantly: "What else did that guy do?"
"They won’t... arrange a ghost and heroine pairing ending for ... for that male protagonist, will they?"
"No, it’s only the second act now, starting to recall eting the ghost heroine before. By the way, the male protagonist in the flashback is a fat hobody, but he slimd down later." Hinata Rion clicked her tongue, regretting: "Although Jin is a maverick, her ability to depict daily romance is quite skillful."
"What a pity, if she also started drawing Minotaurs, it would definitely attract more fans to join our cult’s embrace~ Hey, Mr. Shirakawa, why are you grabbing your bag... Are you leaving?"
Shirakawa Sawahei nodded expressionlessly.
"Suddenly, sothing ca up."
"Huh?"
As he walked towards the shop door, he pulled out his phone to send Ise Yu Orikin a line ssage.
[Manager Rion is giving bonuses today, want to co out and eat sothing to celebrate? (smiley face)]
For Shirakawa Sawahei, who usually doesn’t use emojis, it was rare to send the Pure Love Artist a standard "hehe" face. If Ise Yu had spent ti in Huaxia, she would have imdiately understood the undertone and implication behind this emoji.
This is, a dangerous signal.
[Great! I’ll be right there!! Don’t start without !]
Cute little Ise Yu joyfully replied, seemingly unprepared for the impending crisis.
