Writer?" Hiro smiled wryly.
"So you've been fooling us all this time, believing that your skills have been dull because you haven't been using it for a long time." Misumi said as clenched his fists.
"No, no, that's not it. I only started drawing again last week." Yuzuru shielded himself from the two monsters in front of him.
------------------
Loud typing sounds from Yuzuru's room.
*Wow! Your illustrations for the last episodes were really great HungryDummy-sensei. They really do fan the flames in the reader's hearts* said Erowriter-sensei in the message.
*It's not that great actually. But as long as you like it, I will happily draw for your stories again. Your stories are awesome too, Erowriter-sensei. They give me lots of inspirations for my drawings* Yuzuru a.k.a HungryDummy-sensei replied with a thumbs up emoticon.
He first met his partner as a novelist who wrote his favorite ero novel. He was so amazed that he made a fan art for that novel. Coincidentally, that novelist was looking for an artist to draw for the manga version of that novel. Then they agreed to be partners.
These two have been working together in making that erotic manga. They post it in a website. And it is really popular among the readers, although they still don't have an appropriate title for it.
It does not earn them money but they value the special "experience" that they gain from it. Anyway, they are very happy for the positive reviews that the readers leave.
After a short while Erowriter-sensei replied.
*I don't think "inspiration" is the right word for it. It's kind of disturbing my womanly side. Haha*
Womanly?
Erowriter-sensei was a girl?!
Yuzuru arranged his thoughts but they still don't fit together.
*Erowriter-sensei, you're a girl?!* he summoned up his courage to type this.
*Ehem, yes.* she replied.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!" he couldn't help but shout out of shock.
His shout echoed in the whole place.
So the writer that has been co-creating a manga with him, an erotic manga to be specific, is actually a girl.
------------------
"So you've been creating a manga. An erotic manga. Hahaha!" Misumi said.
"Shut it! Or I won't continue the story. And don't even try to spread rumors about me, or your club will become history!" Yuzuru threatened them.
"So what happened? Was it just a prank?" Hiro said anticipatingly.
"I thought so too..." he answered with a sigh.
----------
Yuzuru wondered if she's just kidding.
'Maybe it's a prank...'
*This is a prank right?* he tried to calm himself with such belief.
*Why would I prank you. I'm really a girl.* "she" answered.
*Should I send you a picture? Haha* Erowriter-sensei seems friendly.
He was convinced. Now he just wanted to know more about his partner.
*Really?! Then, can you tell me your age instead!* he jokingly said.
But he didn't expect that she would actually answer his question, although her answer didn't meet his expectations.
*I'm 21, and I'm currently studying medicine. You?* she said.
'Maybe I could just fake my age, I can pretend to be old, anyway I'm too matured for my age.' he bragged to himself.
*Oh what a coincidence, I'm also studying medicine! I'm 22.* he lied.
*Why did you decide to become a doctor?" she suddenly asked.
*It's just...I want to help the patients overcome their fears. I want to keep them from feeling lonely.* he said.
In reality, he's currently having a complex expression in his face, for some reasons.
Actually, he really do wish to become a doctor, a surgeon. And just like he said, he wanted his patients to feel like they have no illness at all.
*I really want to meet you in person. When you told me that you were actually a woman, I just got more interested in knowing you more.* he said
If you see him in person, you might get him mistaken for a pervert who roams around the street, but you are not mistaken at all. He totally look like a pervert.
*Wait! Before that, I want to test you first. If we're really fated to meet, you must get at least two correct answers out of my three questions. Is that a deal?* she replied.
*Deal! But what kind of questions will you ask?*
*Uhm, about colors!* she answered
Yuzuru is known for his wits. He is one of the smartest students in their school, that's why he is super confident.
*Okay, First question!*
*Guess my favorite color.*
"WHAT THE HELL'S WITH THAT QUESTION!!!" he shouted in real life.
He thought she will ask question about the famous painters, or even a question about the origin of colors would have been better!
Now what the hell was that?! Guess your favorite color?! I might as well guess the color of your shirt right now!!
But he was left with no choice.
*Uhm, blue?*
*Wrong!*
Yuzuru was so dissapointed. He didn't get to reply for a while.
*What, are you giving up already?*
He was startled by this and immediately regained his energy.
*No ma'am!*
'What the hell's wrong with this girl.'
*Next question, what's the color of the shirt I'm wearing?*
"Woah! Did I really guess her next question! Woah, that's given me some courage!" he shouted to encourage himself to continue flirting.
*White!* he just typed whatever came to his mind.
*You must have installed camera's in my bedroom. Correct!*
He felt relieved, and proud.
"WAHAHAHA!!! I really got that correct! I might as well guess the color of her underpants. WAHAHAHA!!!"
*Okay next and last question, if you get it right, we'll be able to meet. What's the color of the underpants I'm wearing right now?*
"WHAT THE SHITTY HELL!!!" he shouted to the top of his lungs.
Then he calmed down and prayed to buddha.
"Oh almighty buddha, please help me get this question right."
He racked his brain. Then he remembered his savior.
*Green!* he answered.
He's now having cold sweat, Erowriter-sensei still haven't answered. If he didn't get the correct answer, he'll lose the chance to meet his partner.
*You...did you really install cameras in my room, even in the toilet? Haha, joke. Correct! I didn't expect you to get that question right!* she finally replied with a winking emoji.
"What?! I...I...I guessed her underwear color?!" he's amazed by this.
*Don't misunderstand me Erowriter-sensei. I'm just doing this to be able to meet you.*
*It's alright, haha. This is normal between friends, right?*
*Ofcourse. So when are we going to meet?*
*Are you excited?*
* I really am!*
*Haha, me too.*
After that, they planned to meet at the cafe-bookstore near the park.
------------
"That's it, that's the story." Yuzuru said as he threw his hands in the air.
But then he saw his two friends whispering to each other.
"Hey, I think we can just help you dress up for your partner. Haha" Misumi said gleefully.
"Really?"
"Ofcourse, that's how loyal we are!" he said as he patted his hands in his shoulder and winked in Hiro's way.
And so, they went shopping
-----------
Later that afternoon.
"Thank you brothers for helping me choose what to wear. I have a rather bad taste when it comes to clothing." Yuzuru said sincerely.
"You're welcome" Hiro said.
"But it really is nothing" Misumi added.
Misumi and Hiro are neighbors, their houses are only three blocks away from Yuzuru's.
Yuzuru got home first.
The two then chatted behind their friend's back.
The two of them were even more anticipated than Yuzuru himself.
