Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

Page 6

As a fellow creator in the anime and manga field, Eriri completely understands the feeling of working through the night to meet deadlines, because... she also often stays up all night drawing R18 erotic comics!

Eriri's innocent little head would never have imagined that Hyakuri Xiao and Kasumigaoka Utaha were busy with that kind of thing until very late!

"Based on the manuscript you gave me, I have roughly come up with the character designs for the male and female leads. Take a look and see if they are suitable?" Eriri said, opening her graphics tablet and taking out the illustration sketches she had drawn on a whim yesterday.

It was an enormous cherry blossom tree, and at its foot, where cherry blossom petals were fluttering everywhere, stood a man and a woman.

Bai Lixiao frowned slightly, picked up the graphics tablet, and examined it carefully for a long time: "I feel like there's something awkward about it. Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying your drawing is bad. On the contrary, the scene you drew is really great, it's just..."

Eriri's heart tightened: "But?"

"In my opinion, there's still room for improvement in your illustrations!"

Eriri's face quickly turned red, and she glared angrily at Baili Xiao with wide eyes.

Even if the latter spoke in a serious tone and his expression did not seem to be joking or sarcastic, as an outsider, it would still make anyone feel uncomfortable to hear someone say to the chief illustrator of a doujinshi circle, "Your drawing can still improve!"

"Improvement?" Eriri snorted, her golden twin tails swaying gently as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Since you think my drawing is bad, fine, you try. As long as you draw better than me, I'll listen to whatever you say from now on!"

Baili Xiao grinned, shook his head, and began to bargain: "I don't need you to listen to everything I say from now on. As long as you call me brother now, I will point out your shortcomings. If you disagree with anything I say in the slightest, I will let you do whatever you want with me, okay?"

Do whatever you want with me?!

Eriri's eyes lit up as she glared at Baili Xiao, "Fine! So what if I call you 'brother'? Baili-gege, can you tell me what I'm lacking now? Please, don't, let me find even the slightest mistake!"

"Ding!" A crisp notification sound rang in his mind, and Baili Xiao's lips curled into a smile: "Don't worry, I'll make you admit defeat in no time!"

P.S.: Haha, hahaha! What is a girlfriend? What is a blind date? It's all fake, everything is fake!

FFF Group, I'm back! As expected, the position of Ultimate Fire Mage is mine! No one can take it from me!

Chapter 0015 [God-Level Painter]! (Two chapters, please add to your favorites and give flowers)

"Ding~ You have obtained the younger sister [Sawamura Spencer Eriri] and the ultimate skill in her field [God-level Painter]. It is hoped that the host can make good use of this skill to raise Eriri to adulthood, nurture her into a talent, and create a child!"

"【God-level Painter】: Possesses extraordinary painting skills, an unparalleled keen eye, and incredibly precise control over brushstrokes. Every work will become a masterpiece, praised and passed down through the ages!"

The notification sound in his mind rang out briefly, and Baili Xiao's eyes flickered with a faint light as he stared at the illustration sketch on the graphics tablet, his right hand's five fingers trembling uncontrollably.

That's a strange phenomenon that only occurs when you forcefully suppress your body's drawing instincts! (Spirit)

"It's...awful!" Bai Lixiao's voice was soft, but loud enough for Eriri beside him to hear.

Eriri froze, staring incredulously at Baili Xiao's face. 8

Even if the drawing isn't great, Eriri put her heart into it. In her opinion, while it might not be perfect, it shouldn't be called "ugly," right?! 5

So... they were just kidding me? I was such an idiot to have placed my hopes on a complete novice! 2

Eriri clenched her fists, abruptly stood up, and walked towards the door. But just as her right foot lifted, Baili Xiao's second sentence left her little foot dangling in the air, unable to land for a long time!

"It's ugly, but there's still hope! Look closely! It should be drawn like this!"

Before he finished speaking, the pressure-sensitive pen was in Baili Xiao's hand. The pen tip lightly touched the screen, and line after line was drawn without pause, appearing on the graphics tablet! 4

The same cherry blossom tree, the same fluttering cherry blossom petals, the same two people standing beneath it... but what Baili Xiao brings to life is a completely different atmosphere.

It was a feeling of emotion and warmth that came from looking into each other's eyes. 7

It's a profound sense of helplessness, like having someone standing right in front of you, yet your hearts are separated by an entire world.

It was a beautiful cherry blossom petal falling in a poignant dance, a desperate fall into the earth.

That's a...

Eriri stared blankly at the graphics tablet, then turned to Baili Xiao, whose profile looked so serious and focused. For a moment, only the soft "tap-tap" sound of the pen tip touching the screen echoed in the living room.

Eriri couldn't understand why a simple black and white sketch made of lines looked more visually impactful than a color original.

Similarly, she didn't know why a static image could evoke so many complex emotions in her mind.

At that moment, a question involuntarily popped into her mind: "Am I... a fake illustrator?"

"Look, here, and here, it should be expressed in this way, and..." With each stroke of the pen in Baili Xiao's hand, he would softly explain the method of drawing. In a short time, he had revised the entire illustration and presented it to the two of them.

"How is it? How much have you learned?" Baili Xiao exhaled, shifting his gaze from the graphics tablet to Eriri, and then his brows furrowed tightly.

Eriri... was actually standing next to him, her face ashen, her once bright eyes now devoid of light, displaying an expression of utter despair.

"Hey!" Baili Xiao frowned, flicking Eriri's forehead lightly with his finger: "Did you remember what I just said?"

"Huh? Oh!" Startled awake by the pain on her forehead, Eriri covered her head blankly, nodding repeatedly despite her confusion, "I, I remember! Really!"

“...Repeat it again.” Baili Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly not believing Eriri’s words.

Eriri bit her lip with her small canine teeth, trying to hold on for a long time until her face turned red, but finally... she gave up: "I'm sorry, I didn't remember a single word!"

Bai Lixiao shook his head helplessly and handed the graphics tablet to Eriri: "Now you should understand why I said you still have a lot of room for improvement, right?"

Eriri took the drawing tablet and, taking advantage of Baili Xiao's inattention, pouted, a hint of resentment rising in her heart: I didn't know! I only remember you saying my drawing was "ugly"!

Bai Lixiao smiled slightly, took a drink from the refrigerator and poured it for Eriri, saying, "If you want to go further on the path of an illustrator, I can teach you all the skills I know. Of course... this is also for the sake of our [5 Centimeters Per Second]. I don't want such a wonderful story to be paired with mediocre illustrations."

"Really? You're really willing to teach me?" Eriri was a little excited, but she realized she was being too eager as soon as she spoke: "I, I don't necessarily need you to teach me, I just... I just feel that we really need to create good illustrations for [5 Centimeters Per Second]! Don't get the wrong idea!"

Okay, okay, I know you're being arrogant, alright?

Bai Lixiao thought to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Come on, there's still some time before the project ends, let me see how far you can go!"

P.S.: This book isn't abandoned! I'm just back in the FFF group, and I'm a little excited (QAQ). At least four chapters today, aiming for five! Hope everyone continues to support me!

Chapter 0016 Eriri, staying at the Kasumigaoka family's house! (Third update, please add to your favorites and give flowers)

At Toyosaki Academy, the teachers and students have recently discovered a very unusual phenomenon.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri, known as the "two beauties of Toyonosaki," seem to have inexplicably grown closer.

The two had no prior interaction, at most exchanging glances. One day they were saying, "You go your sunny path, I'll go my narrow bridge," but the next day, they were surprisingly walking to school together!

When the school's only two beautiful sights come together, it naturally attracts a lot of attention, but also raises many questions.

It's worth noting that Kasumigaoka Utaha has always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor (because she often sleeps and is the top student in her grade, no one dares to approach her to talk to her), giving off the feeling of an ice queen.

Eriri is different. Although she has mixed-race heritage and is a rare blonde twin-tailed beauty, she gets along well with all the girls and has many good friends around her. She can be said to be a very popular person.

It's natural to wonder when two people who are clearly at opposite ends of the spectrum come together like this.

"Look, look! The two of them are walking to school together again. What happened?"

"Wow! The two goddesses of Toyonosaki have appeared at the same time, it's like I'm seeing angels!"

"Why do they both look so tired? It's alright for Kasumigaoka-senpai, she's always like this, but... Eriri has always been so cheerful!"

Along the long corridor leading to the school building, both boys and girls stood in twos and threes beside the flower bushes, their eyes shining as they watched the two girls walking towards them from the center of the corridor.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, with slightly dark circles under her eyes, was looking at several sheets of A4 paper in her hand. In fact, her attention was not on the so-called "5 Centimeters Per Second Plot Summary" at all.

"Sawamura-kun, this isn't the first time I've warned you. How long do you intend to stay at my house?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate profile. Seemingly unintentionally, she asked in a voice only Eriri could hear, "Don't you think that staying at someone else's house for a long time is a very bad thing?"

"And it's in the home of a classmate with a completely different personality, and there's even a grown-up teenage boy in the house?" Eriri rubbed her sore eyes, glancing at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her out of the corner of her eye: "You've said this at least ten times, I've heard it by heart..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed softly, looking at Eriri with a rather pitying gaze: "In my understanding, even a puppy, if I teach it a certain action ten times, it might understand what I mean. But... Sawamura-san seems completely unable to understand. That's right, Sawamura Eriri is ultimately very different from a puppy."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri understood Kasumigaoka Utaha's sarcasm after a moment's thought. She clenched her fists and glared at the latter angrily: "How many times have I told you? As long as I learn the painting techniques from Hyakusato-kun, I'll leave immediately!"

Her voice paused slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Or, you could lend Baili Jun to me. I don't think I would mistreat him in my home."

"Please don't have improper thoughts about other people's property, you loser Sawamura-san!" Kasumigaoka Utaha quickened her pace. In her opinion, there was no need to talk to Eriri anymore since the routine negotiations this morning had broken down once again.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! Don't call me a loser! Just you wait! This time, my contribution to [5 Centimeters Per Second] will definitely be greater than yours! Let's see who Hyakuri-kun will praise then!"

An exasperated voice came from behind, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled into a smile, her face full of confidence.

Sawamura-kun, I've worked just as hard as you, and my brother and I have a special way of communicating. I don't believe I'll lose to you...

...

After Bai Lixiao demonstrated his incredibly powerful painting skills, Eriri stuck to his side like a piece of chewing gum.

What's even more problematic is that Eriri's clingy methods are quite unique and full of her own characteristics.

for example...

"Baili-kun, I didn't come here specifically to ask you for advice. It's just that there are no more trams outside, and it's too dark. I'm a girl alone..."

"Baili Jun, I told my parents today that I'm not going back. It's not because I want to learn more, so please don't overthink it."

"Bailijun..."

Wow, this arrogant way of speaking might seem novel at first, but after hearing it a few times, even the usually composed Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but frown.

“If you want to stay, there are rooms for guests. You don’t need to find excuses to stay every day.” Baili Xiao smiled and continued, “With the deadline for the project approaching, I’m actually a little worried that you won’t be able to finish the original artwork, so…”

Before Baili Xiao could finish speaking, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting next to him, crossed her legs and looked down at Eriri with the air of a mistress: "After school until 8 pm is your time to ask questions about illustration. After that, I need to discuss the novel's plot with my brother. If you dare to disturb me, I will spread the news that you are an R.18 doujinshi illustrator to the school!"

Because of this, the students of Toyonosaki Academy saw for the first time the scene of "the two beauties of Toyonosaki Academy" attending school at the same time, and they watched for seven days straight!

Meanwhile, the deadline for the project has finally arrived!

P.S.: Something came up tonight and I'm only finishing this now, I'm really sorry.

From tomorrow until the book is officially released, there will be five chapters a day, without fail.

Chapter 0017 [5 Seconds] Volume 1, Completed! (First update, please add to your favorites and give flowers)

"Finally..." As the last period and the last original drawing appeared in front of her, Baili Xiao sighed wearily and slumped back onto the sofa.

Sitting on either side of him were Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, who had just completed the last step and were completely relaxed.

"So, the production of the first volume of [5 Centimeters Per Second] is now complete." Baili Xiao glanced at the text on the notebook with a complicated expression. To be honest, if he had enough time, he really didn't want to release the text and original artwork in front of him as the final product.

Whether it's Kasumigaoka Utaha or Eriri, they are changing rapidly every day. Baili Xiao clearly knows that the two of them have a much greater potential for growth than they have now. If he could have more time to train them to their maximum potential, then creating the first volume of "5 Centimeters Per Second" would be the best possible outcome!

"Time is tight, so the first volume can only be presented to readers in this form. I don't know if it will be accepted by everyone."

Hearing Baili Xiao's concerns, Kasumigaoka Utaha subtly moved a little closer to him. Wearing black stockings, her long legs, revealing glimpses of flesh beneath, shifted slightly, her taut thighs brushing against Baili Xiao a few times: "Even if this isn't [5 Centimeters Per Second] at its best, believe me, once it's officially released, its popularity will definitely not be lower than my previous [Love Metronome]!"

As the author of "Love Metronome," Kasumigaoka Utaha is naturally the most qualified to speak on her own novel. In her opinion, "Love Metronome" and "5 Centimeters Per Second" are simply incomparable!

Whether in terms of plot, narrative style, or scenes, dialogue, and expressions, "5 Centimeters Per Second" is an overwhelmingly superior work!

"Don't worry, all the illustrations are my best to date. Even if there are any problems with Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel, my illustrations will guarantee the sales of the first volume!" Eriri comforted Hyakuri Xiao while giving Kasumigaoka Utaha a subtle look. Just then, the latter also turned her gaze to her, and a spark flew between them.

Baili Xiao wore a wry smile. During this period, he had been doing his best to avoid creating a chaotic situation. Before, the three of them were in a tense working phase, which was fine. But now that the first volume of "5 Centimeters Per Second" had just been completed, the signs of a chaotic situation had already emerged.

"I made an appointment with Miss Yuanzi, she should be here by now, right?"
