"What are you two looking at me for?"
Rin Ito was focused on recreating the previous night's scene for future doujinshi material. He hadn't noticed when the two girls had moved to stand behind him. Sagiri was staring at the screen, while Elf seemed to be staring at Rin Ito.
"Nothing~ Just wanted to see how you draw~" Elf's face held a hint of subtle cunning. "Drawing and writing novels seem similar, don't they? Why do you draw doujinshi? Do you like it that much?"
"Why the sudden questions? I draw doujinshi for the money, of course. I still owe quite a bit." Rin Ito joked casually. "Does the rich lady want to help me pay off my debt?"
"If you agree to become my servant, maybe. By the way, why are you in debt?" Elf tilted her head, the cat ear hair clips on her head slightly swaying... She'd be even cuter with a tail.
"There were some changes at home." Rin Ito offered a casual excuse, then immediately changed the subject. "I was just joking with you. I'm almost done paying off the debt anyway... Say, if you two have time to watch me draw, Sagiri, are you finished drawing?"
"I haven't finished yet. I'm just curious how you draw manga because I've only drawn ecchi illustrations before, not manga." Sagiri seemed a little troubled. Ecchi illustrations only required drawing the characters well, but manga had many other miscellaneous things to consider. Elf could help with the storyline, but she couldn't help with things like paneling and composition.
"Hmm... I see. Then I'll teach you. You don't need me to talk about drawing techniques; let me teach you some other things."
"Okay!" Rin Ito opened the project file of his previous doujinshi and turned his laptop screen toward Sagiri. "First, the doujinshi cover..."
Rin Ito began his lesson, and Sagiri listened intently. The two artists abandoned their model. Elf didn't interrupt them and sat on the beanbag chair by the wall, taking out her phone. After turning the volume to silent, she quietly started her game. Gacha pulls and sinking money in one seamless go—truly a hero among Whales.
After playing for a while, the somewhat bored Elf looked up at the pair. Rin Ito, seriously teaching, was handsome, and Sagiri, diligently learning, was cute. Speaking of which, drawing manga should be similar to writing novels, right? Essentially, both are about creating a world, but a novel uses words as its medium, and a manga uses drawings.
Staring at the two, Elf's thoughts drifted. From first meeting Rin Ito to dreaming about him violating her, to being caught playing the piano naked, and now... He's quite handsome when you look closely, and he doesn't have that strange stench he did in the dream.
Speaking of which, why did I dream about him licking and violating me? I hadn't done anything similar during the day, and all the doujinshi I read were pure love ones, so I should only dream about pure love.
Could it be... could it be that I subconsciously want him to lick and violate me? Elf's body shivered at the thought. Impossible. Me wanting him to violate me... absolutely impossible!
"Hmm... it's noon already. Sagiri, Elf, are you hungry?"
"Eh... oh, yes... a little hungry." Rin Ito's question snapped Elf out of her thoughts. Only then did Elf realize it was already noon.
"Ero-Manga..."
"Don't call me that name! I don't know anyone called that!" After an instinctive rebuttal, Sagiri paused. "Just call me Sagiri."
"Really? That's great~" Elf's pink eyes sparkled with excitement. "By the way, it's just noon, so I'll make lunch for you. I still owe you a meal for helping me move last time... I'll just cook it at my house and bring it over. No need to dirty Sagiri's kitchen."
"That works. I'll help you so it'll be faster. Sagiri, you wait here."
Putting on her coat, Elf and Rin Ito walked back to the mansion next door. After taking off her coat and tossing it on the sofa, Elf walked into the kitchen and put on an apron. Then, she took out various fresh ingredients from the refrigerator. Although Elf only had an elementary school education and was innumerate enough to miscalculate simple multiplication and division, she was exceptionally talented at novel writing, musical instruments, and cooking.
"Here." Rin Ito casually handed the only apron to Elf, who was still contemplating what to make for lunch. "Don't overthink it. Let's just eat something simple for lunch. If you take too long to decide, Sagiri will starve to death. Tsk tsk tsk... you actually buy all pre-washed vegetables."
As he spoke, Rin Ito poured rice into the rice cooker. "Do you want some Chinese food?"
"You can cook that?" Elf looked at Rin Ito in surprise.
"Yeah... since you have beef in your fridge, I can quickly stir-fry some beef if you'd like."
"Then I'll have some... Tempura? Okay, Tempura it is!" Elf smiled. "This is the first time I've cooked with someone else. It's almost like...!!!"
"Hmm? Almost like what?" Rin Ito turned his face. Unbeknownst to him, Elf's pretty face had already flushed crimson.
"N-nothing." Elf lowered her head guiltily... Why did this feel so much like a married couple cooking for their daughter?! Elf frequently glanced at Rin Ito beside her, her heart pounding without realizing it.
The only thing Elf was relieved about was that she was petite; as long as she kept her head down, her eyes wouldn't meet Rin Ito's. While preparing the Tempura ingredients, Elf subconsciously glanced at Rin Ito beside her from time to time.
Wait a minute!!!!
Elf, who was preparing the batter, froze. Why is he getting excited while cooking?! Real cooking doesn't use aphrodisiacs like in anime, so why is he aroused?!
Wait... Elf suddenly noticed a problem. I'm still wearing the catgirl outfit! Shoot, shoot, shoot. I got so used to wearing it all morning that I forgot to change when I came back.
And with the apron over it... Just the keywords catgirl outfit and apron were enough to excite anyone, let alone when worn by the World's Number One Beautiful Girl Light Novel Author. It was normal for him to be aroused. Maybe he's been enduring it at Sagiri's house. He kept sitting cross-legged and leaning forward; was that to hide his arousal? He must be secretly looking at me now, too, right? Thinking this, a sly smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Elf's mouth.
The catgirl outfit didn't include a bra. Her chest was quite flat, so it didn't really fill out the top. From his angle, he might be able to see the two rosy nipples on her flat chest. What should I do? Should I scream in embarrassment?
I'll pretend I didn't notice. If she didn't point it out, it wouldn't be as awkward. Besides, he had already seen her completely naked last time. Wait, since he's already seen me naked, why not tease him a little? Elf blinked, a trace of cunning flashing in her pink eyes.
