Elf opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. 'Is it so cliche? But then again, if he had a lot of skills, it wouldn't be surprising to attract so many high-quality beauties!'
Homura broke the awkward silence.
"Elf, I'll go ask if Sagiri will see you. Oh, by the way, Sagiri is Eromanga-sensei, but she's a very shy girl. So, I'll warn you in advance, don't be too enthusiastic if you meet her."
Megumi said, "Then I'll go get some drinks for you guys."
===
"Sagiri?" Homura knocked lightly on the door and it opened. As he had expected, Jinno was striking a pose while Sagiri was drawing. However, this time everything seemed normal, and Jinno was not having a tantrum like last time.
"Nii-san?" Sagiri looked at him strangely. "What's up?"
"You have a "Superfan" who wants to meet you. Do you want to see her?"
"What kind of thing is that?" Sagiri frowned. "No, I can't handle it."
"Superfan?" Jinno didn't quite understand. "Why does Sagiri-chan have fans?"
Homura explained to Jinno, "Because of Sagiri's artworks. Is it strange that someone likes Sagiri's artworks?"
'Sagiri's artworks are actually known to other people? Is it because of the internet?' Jinno thought in doubt.
As a super popular person, Jinno was not very interested in the internet. She thought that chatting with friends directly face-to-face was more interesting than something like chatting virtually and just typing messages on the phone all day! Where is the excitement?!
But she still nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Sagiri, why don't you consider it? You'll have a ready-made model!" Homura tried to convince her.
"A pretty girl?"
"Yes, a blonde loli."
"Well, that's not a bad idea..." Sagiri's expression gradually became lewd.
Jinno shuddered heavily and silently mourned for this unknown fan.
Homura smiled and said, "Then I'll tell her. If she agrees to be your model, you can meet her."
"Okay, Nii-san. I'm also growing up! I don't need them to cover their eyes this time!" Sagiri said confidently.
Jinno was a little unhappy. What was my eye-covering incident all about then?
"That's so unfair! Why do I have to cover my eyes but others don't?!" Jinno complained.
Sagiri was embarrassed and tried to probe, "Because you're special?"
He was shocked. Was that okay to say?
"Eh~? Am I special?" Jinno seemed quite pleased.
Homura: "..."
Her thought process was really different than a normal person after all.
He went downstairs and saw Haru lying on the sofa while Elf was trying to establish a good relationship with her.
"How come you're not getting along well with Haru?" Homura sat down on the sofa and the little one bounced onto his lap.
Elf: "..."
Twirling her hair, she changed the subject, "By the way, did Eromanga-sensei agree to meet me?"
He also didn't hold back and stretched out a finger, "As long as you agree to a condition, she will see you."
This familiar scene made everyone feel particularly familiar, and Eriri's expression was even a little sympathetic.
But this time Eriri was thinking too much. Elf could even show her underwear to Sagiri if needed without batting an eye. Instead, she would be embarrassed if she couldn't do it!
"What condition?"
"Be her model!"
"Oh?" Elf laughed happily. "That's really what I want! I can actually become Eromanga-sensei's model!"
Eriri: "..."
'Wait a minute? The script shouldn't be like this right? Could it be that she doesn't know what kind of model Sagiri is looking for? But since she knows Sagiri's pen name, she should understand what it means, right?' Eriri was starting to doubt her life...
"Come on, the other model is here too!" With that, Homura picked up the little one lying on his thigh and took Elf to Sagiri's room.
"Sawamura-san, what's wrong?" Utaha asked Eriri with a puzzled expression.
"Why is she happy to be Sagiri's model?"
"I can do it too." Mashiro also expressed that she was not willing to be left out.
Utaha had a "See, there's another one!" expression on her face and looked at Eriri, who also nodded in realization.
"She probably lacks some shame, like Mashiro. She doesn't care about going into battle half-naked."
Utaha: "..."
'Really? It seems a bit strange when you said it that way, doesn't it?' Utaha remarked internally.
Megumi looked helpless. "Eriri, is it really okay to say it like that to Mashiro?"
Eriri retorted, "But Megumi, have you forgotten what it was like when Mashiro first arrived?"
Reminded by Eriri, Megumi also recalled the chaotic morning.
Megumi seemed a bit at a loss for words. "I guess... she just doesn't care."
Mashiro expressed her opinion, "When drawing, you need to have a detailed understanding."
That makes sense. So, what exactly is this conversation about?
At this point, Homura returned, and seeing Eriri's puzzled expression, he asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"Eriri doesn't understand why Elf wants to be Sagiri's model," Mashiro answered his question.
He was somewhat surprised by her words. He looked at Eriri and said, "You should know her pen name, right? So why are you surprised?"
Homura asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you haven't read her works?"
"How could I not have read them! Her lewd novels are one of my important sources of inspiration!" Eriri exclaimed.
"Ah~!" Eriri finally realized and understood this time. "So, for her, being completely naked is just and right!"
"That's right. I think she might be only a little shy if she knew Sagiri's true thoughts, but she should be quite receptive," Homura said, then sitting down and looking serious. "I want to invite her to join us. What do you all think?"
"Agreed." Mashiro was the first to agree; she had a good impression of Elf.
"But, Homura-kun, will she agree to join?" Megumi didn't know much about Elf, so she asked.
Eriri explained on Homura's behalf, "There shouldn't be a problem. You can tell from her attitude towards Sagiri."
Utaha had some concerns about another girl joining, so she wanted to try harder to prevent it. "Um, Homura-kun, her writing style seems to be different from ours."
"No problem. Shouldn't we also have different styles? It's necessary to have diversity!"
Utaha: '...'
"Alright, I don't have any objections either." Even if she did, it wouldn't make much of a difference since he always had a good reason that made sense and was hard to counter.
"So it's settled! Let's invite her to have dinner here tonight, and then I'll invite her to join us!" Homura decided. "We can also show her our work. I believe she, with her "God's Eye", will be attracted to it!"
He was quite excited about it, having another talented member in their circle was a great thing.
Everyone: "..."
What the heck is God's Eye?"
