Game Show, the famous ACG industrial store in Akihabara.
Even though it is called a game, the items in the store are not limited to games.
There are also action figures, manga, light novels, and even doujins!
"Kashiwagi Eri? Isn't that Eriri's pen name?" Megumi accidentally focuses on a book marked 18+.
She's 18 years old, so she can read these things, right?
"Is it true?!" Eriri actually saw the doujin she drew.
This is yuri's doujin!
"Do not see!"
Eriri blushed in front of everyone, trying to restore some of her image.
"Why did Eriri's doujin appear here?" Ryuji asked strangely.
Eriri blushed and shouted: "Don't use strange terms, what is my doujin!"
Ryuji realized his grammatical error.
"Sorry."
If this really is Eriri's doujin... Ryuji wants to read it.
"Are you thinking about something perverted!" Eriri said angrily, covering her flat chest.
Utaha cast a look of pity, silence spoke louder than her voice.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"
Utaha shrugged and said quickly, "I didn't say anything."
"Your eyes have already said it!"
Utaha didn't talk much about this topic, and said to Eriri: "But this person is really extraordinary, and the doujin she draws can be sold in this kind of ordinary store."
Although Japanese society is open, items such as hentai doujin are commonly sold at ACG shows.
Eriri blushed and fell silent.
Megumi helped Eriri out of the encirclement and said, "But isn't there an 18+ sign here, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Yes, Megumi was right!" Eriri found a rebuttal.
Listening to their conversation, Ryuji couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say: "Isn't the point now to find out the source of that doujin?"
This is an important question.
In Japan, publishing rights are highly respected and works cannot be sold in public without permission from the original creator.
"This… I might have an idea," Eriri said weakly.
"At a fair last summer, a strange man approached me, hoping to buy some doujins and sell them at the shop..."
"So you agree?"
"Of course not...?"
The corners of Ryuji's mouth twitched, "What do you mean by the question mark at the end of the sentence."
Eriri exclaimed: "Of course I forgot what happened long ago!"
Ryuji covered his face: "Can something as important as this be forgotten just like that..."
Utaha sarcastically said, "As expected of Sawamura-san."
Perhaps Ryuji's words played a part, Utaha didn't mention the defeated golden retriever's nickname.
Now that Eriri said that, everyone did not continue to discuss this matter.
Megumi curiously opened the doujin drawn by Eriri, and was touched by the exquisite drawing.
"Excellent, as expected of Eriri." Megumi sighed.
"Don't read it in front of the original author!" Eriri blushed and shouted.
It's a common problem for authors, knowing that their work has been seen by hundreds of people, but they can't stand others reading in front of them.
"What is it?"
Megumi wasn't a creator, so she didn't understand this strange idea.
In front of Eriri, she was publicly executed.
Seeing the expressionless Megumi and reciting doujin in public, Ryuji regretted Megumi's strength of heart.
This kind of thing, even he can't do it easily!
Of course part of the reason lies in the doujins themselves.
Eriri's picture is yuri's version, the painting style is beautiful, and there is no actual plot!
Something went wrong with Megumi who was studying.
She first looked at the protagonist in that doujin, and then at Eriri, making some sort of comparison.
"W-What are you looking at!" Eriri blushed and shouted.
"Why is the protagonist's chest so big in doujin?" Megumi asked.
"Puftt!"
A laugh as clear as that could only be uttered by Utaha, and burst out laughing, and didn't care that Eriri's expression was getting uglier.
"Ah, what questions are you asking!"
Utaha almost cried.
She helped Megumi out of trouble: "Kato-san, what creators call is to express what they want most but can't get and can only put in their own creations."
