"Anoo, Onii-san, thi- this look..." Jinno said awkwardly.
"Oh! Not bad, Megumin looks good no matter how she dresses!" Homura praised her, diverting her attention.
"Hehe! Right?" Suddenly realizing, "No, it's not right! Why does it have to be like this?!"
"Of course, it's because Sagiri is a bit shy!" Homura laughed, "How about it? Do you want to continue? I allow you to change your mind now?"
"No!" Jinno said without hesitation this time, "Since it's already like this, I won't back down! I definitely want to be friends with Sagiri-chan!"
"Okay!" Homura knocked on Sagiri's door, "Sagiri, Nii-san has brought the person!"
Sagiri quietly opened the door and her eyes lit up when she saw Jinno. She grabbed her hand and said, "Come in!"
"Last time, you sold me off like this, right?" A creepy voice came from behind Homura, giving him goosebumps.
Homura turned around with a "cheerful" smile and said, "Oh! Eriri, you're here too!"
Looking at his smiling face, Eriri said unhappily, "Of course! I just wanted to see how a girl who shares the same fate as me was sold off by you, a heartless and scheming jerk!"
"Oh please, don't say that!" Homura disagreed, "Clearly, I'm just fulfilling the wishes of both sides! Megumin wants to make friends with Sagiri, and Sagiri wants a model for her drawing, right? Isn't there a great chance of achieving both goals with this contact? It's a win-win situation!"
Eriri sneered, "Foolish excuse! But whatever! It's not like she's going to lose her virginity anyway!"
Homura was stunned. This girl's words were explosive!
As a doujin artist, her tolerance for this kind of thing was indeed higher than that of ordinary people.
'However, why did you end up running a "marathon" angrily with me last time?'
'Could it be... Eriri actually enjoys watching this but won't admit it because of tsundere? Otherwise, why she didn't stop them?' Homura tentatively invited, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Eriri replied, "Can I?"
"Of course!" Homura replied calmly. 'After all, you've already been in there, right?'
The two entered the room without disturbing Sagiri, who was delicately describing the panties of the shy Jinno from a subtle angle.
"Um, Sagiri-chan, you're there, right? Why aren't you answering me? Is this some kind of lewd punishment?"
Homura answered for Sagiri, "Sagiri is completely engrossed in drawing, so she doesn't have time to answer you."
"As expected, Sagiri is just a perverted old man! The name Eromanga-sensei is too fitting!" Eriri snarked.
'Huh? A perverted old man? Oh no! Lewd gaze has fallen on my thigh and panties!' Jinno, who was a little uneasy after hearing Eriri's words, immediately felt Sagiri's gaze.
Homura grinned, "Oi, don't you like "Dick" the most? How can't you handle a mere gaze like this?"
"Huh? Really? No way?"
"In fact, you're just pretending, aren't you? Pretending to know everything, to attract a lot of adoring gazes from girls your age, right?"
Jinno blushed, "No, it's not like that! I- I really have experience! I also had seen a dick!"
Eriri fiercely twisted Homura's arm, causing him to gasp in pain. He no longer teased Jinno and rubbed the area that was pinched. Suddenly, he felt as if the air had solidified.
What happened? Homura looked up and saw that Sagiri had already drawn Jinno's pink and white striped panties below her knees!
"Cute striped panties!" Sagiri happily exclaimed.
Homura's vision went dark, and he heard Eriri's voice in his ear, "You can't look, you jerk!"
After a stiff moment, Jinno let out a mournful scream, "Uwaaahhh~~~!!!!"
This scream attracted everyone's attention and they came to Sagiri's room.
Utaha came and asked Eriri, who was covering Homura's eyes, "Sawamura-san, what happened? What was that scream about?"
"Here!" Eriri gestured for them to look into the room.
The weeping girl, the slightly confused Sagiri, and the panties in her hand...
"That pair of panties are so cute," said Mashiro, causing Jinno to cry even harder. The crowd was speechless. Mashiro's words were simply natural and seemed to defy all things.
"Um, Mashiro-chan, it's probably not a good idea to say things like that at a time like this," Megumi gave Mashiro a lesson in common sense.
Mashiro looked at her puzzledly, "Isn't it cute?"
Megumi also said somewhat stiffly, "It's not a matter of whether it's cute or not now, it's... to make Megumin stop crying."
"Is there no way?" Mashiro asked.
"Comfort?" Megumi was unsure, "Or maybe it's best for Sagiri-chan to do something?"
Sagiri said hesitantly, "It seems very troublesome, but there's no way to suppress that surging desire!"
"Sagiri is definitely a perverted old man!" Eriri straightened up and looked at him.
Mashiro quietly came to the back of Jinno and gently stroked her head, awkwardly comforting her, "Yoshi~Yoshi... good girl, don't cry."
Everyone was stunned to see this scene. They never thought that Megumi's lesson about comfort would be remembered and implemented by Mashiro immediately! She was definitely improving, just like Sagiri, changing little by little!
Eriri stared straight ahead, and the hand covering Homura's eyes had slipped off. Homura smiled with satisfaction as he watched Mashiro's appearance.
Mashiro had already taken action, and Sagiri couldn't just stand by. She walked up slowly, removed Jinno's eye mask, and bowed her head, saying, "I'm sorry."
Jinno's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Sagiri in a daze, then smiled brightly, "You can talk now, can't you, even if I'm not wearing the eye mask?"
Sagiri replied a little uneasily, "Actually, it's not completely unrelated... I'm sorry."
Jinno wiped away her tears, "I forgive you!... We're friends now, right? After all, you've seen my panties!"
Sagiri who gave her no face at all said, "No!"
"That's too much! You clearly took off my underwear! Even my brother has never seen it before!" exclaimed Jinno in frustration.
"But you forgave me, didn't you?" muttered Sagiri softly.
"I did say that! But don't you have anything else to say?" Jinno asked.
Sagiri avoided her gaze and lightly tapped her index fingers together. "Um, thanks for the hospitality?"
Jinno was furious and exclaimed, "That's really terrible hospitality! How frustrating!"
Homura couldn't help but laugh, and the group watched as Sagiri and Jinno bickered back and forth. Then they said their goodbyes and left the room quietly.
Outside the room, Homura said with emotion, "This is the first time Sagiri has made friends of her own age!"
Eriri questioned, "Are they really friends in your eyes?"
Homura smiled and asked back, "Have you ever seen Sagiri talk this much with anyone else?"
"But that little one, Megumin, will probably be eaten alive by Sagiri, won't she?" added Utaha.
Homura thought back to the earlier occurrences and realized that might actually be the case.
