Ayaka Himeno!
The real name of the well-known illustrator who is renowned for her erotic drawings of female characters and for having a fan base that has reached the pinnacle of this field.
Himeno being her surname, which means 'princess field.' in a literal manner, Ayaka's beautiful look truly befits the name she had gotten from her family.
Ayaka, which translates to "beauty and vibrance," is actually just a lazy woman who needs a teenage child to wake her up every morning and even make breakfast for the mother and daughter.
But even then! A silly smile covered the boy's face as he finished preparing the breakfast, and after seeing that the rice was also almost done, he walked toward the room on the left.
"Ayaka-san. Sagiri, it is already morning; wake up." He knocked on the door.
But after having no reply from the other side, a small 'I know it.' smile appeared on his lips, and he opened the door to find two of them sleeping on each side of the bed.
"Eromanga-sensei. It is already deadline; how much are you going to sleep?" Kanata spoke in a different voice, causing the lady on the other side to almost fall off her bed.
"Coming!!!" After the moment of realization, Ayaka turned to sulk at Kanata-kun, who was grinning while looking at her.
"I did say to sleep early. And promised to help you wake up. So, try to at least keep your end of promise, Ayaka-sensei."
Kanata persisted, and at last the woman gave in, grinning and petting Kanata before leaving the room, leaving a sleeping little creature on the bed who was turning from side to side and still not waking up.
"Sagiri. It is morning, and I had prepared the favourite food, so let's go and eat until it is warm." Kanata was already used to this baby.
And yes! She is the lead character in an anime that he had seen in a past life and who, even in this one, was genuinely endearing.
"Good morning! Dukko." The little girl opened her eyes, and while sitting, she hugged Kanata with a bear hug, asking him to carry her to the bathroom.
'Hah! Here we go.' Smelling the nice perfume that this little girl uses every night.
After taking a deep breath, Kanata carried the young girl like a princess to the bathroom window and made her stand in front of the sink.
She began brushing while he got her clothes ready, and when he was finally finished with the princess's work, he left for his kitchen.
On a pleasant morning, Kanata was able to learn how to cook well thanks to his prior cooking experience and practice, even though he ultimately had to use Indian spices.
He was an Indian in his previous life. And maybe that is why.
He enjoyed eating spicy foods, such as curry, even though he realized that curry was also very tasty in this world.
Using the spices as a setup, he was able to create a good recipe that tasted as naturally spicy as Japanese food, making two ladies hooked up in his cooking.
However, after tasting some of the world's finest cuisine, he discovered that Sakura country had an anime Japanese theme, and the food was so varied and tasty that he also developed a fondness for the wide range of seafood cuisine available in this nation.
"Hmm... It is really delicious. Kanata, you had even learned Sakura cuisine to this degree. Are you aiming to become a chef? If not, it is really a waste of talent." Ayaka grinned after tasting the fish and egg dish, which was entirely different from what she usually makes.
And one can tell how carefully this dish was created, and that made her look at the boy, who was sharing the apartment with her and was also doing a job to earn his living at his age.
Despite her attempts to persuade the boy to allow her to help him with his schooling, Kanata firmly refused her since he could clearly see their situation and knew that there might be occasions when she would not be able to support him and he would have to continue working.
'A boy like him should enjoy his youth. And here he is working on daily basis to earn his living and is even paying for the rent.' Ayaka only found the calmness of maturity on the boy's face, who served the final food, and smiled at the figure joining them for the breakfast.
Sagiri joined by sitting on Kanata's side and giving him another hug while lying on his side.
This caused Kanata to smile as he patted the young girl's head tenderly, as though he was enjoying petting the adorable little cat.
'Ahh! This is really an addiction for me.' The boy thought as he pulled the girl to sit and eat, while Ayaka from the side was smiling looking at the two. With a mischievous gleam in her eyes, she appeared to be observing her favourite toys.
"I will be leaving..." After the food, Kanata called out as he walked out of the apartment and looked at Sagiri, who came to greet and gave him a chocolate, before running back to her room to get some more drawing done before preparing for another room hibernation.
While Sagiri does occasionally attend school during this time and does not have many issues because she has become accustomed to Kanata, she always needs Kanata to be there to pick her up and drop her off at her all-girls school.
And she even made a friend named Rikka Takanashi, though a bit odd chunnibyo, but a kind girl from the core.
The job Kanata did was related to his cheat.
Almost 40 to 50 percent of Tokyo's population uses the library, which has a long history and is run by the government and a family business.
More recently, the building was expanded to accommodate more books and new light novels, among other literature.
They therefore needed a lot of workers, and since Kanata had left the orphanage, they were asking for help to see if he could join another family, but they were unable to find one that would be a good fit for him.
On that day, real Kanata died.
And it was on that day that he was reincarnated into this world, filled with wonders and fear of living a lonely life again, as he was also an orphan in his previous life too.
"Welcome! Kanata, you are early again." Takeshi Kobayashi. The library's night shift, which lasts 12 hours, is different from his 8-hour shift, which runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In order to assist the elderly man, Kanata has made it a habit to arrive at the library at 6:30 a.m. every day.
This allows him to take a break from his work, even though it only reduces his workload by one and a half hours, but it is the only way Kanata can get himself up, ready for a new day.
"I just tend to get up naturally, so it is more like a habit. Takeshi-san, you can go now that I am here. Also, I am sure that your granddaughter must be waiting for you."
Kanata asked the elderly man to leave his job role with his usual calm smile, leaving Takeshi Kobayashi to smile helplessly because all he could do was bless the child with his heart.
'Now then! It's time to read.' After sending Takeshi off. Kanata finally opened the blue screen within his retina, which only he is able to see, and his cheat code in this world.

Given this, Kanata always felt under pressure because he did not want Ayaka to pass away and abandon them. After arriving here, he understood how much he needed this system to survive and ensure that she did as well.
'Today! I will make literary reach Lvl 2. With that, I will have the right skills to write my own literature, and according to the skill information, at LVl 2, I will also get writer skill.'
His skills were hard to get but easy to develop. After all, it took him 30 books to acquire that skill, and he spent about a month reading them.
However, once he had mastered one skill, acquiring other skills was simple; for example, he learned how to cook by reading cooking books.
After giving it some thought, Kanata realized that he was extremely fortunate to have literary skills because they are so versatile; otherwise, he might have wasted a lot of money and effort trying to acquire other skills. Instead, he can simply read books to learn the skills associated with them, including boxing.
Though it totally worked for only books, and having it read it online, Kanata never got any skills, and recently he is working on something else too.
Sakura Archive!
It was a large, four-story building that resembled a large, old-fashioned manor or mansion and contained thousands of books in one area. Kanata took the book to read after discovering another literary work that had been assigned the day before.
This is because the author's books are extremely complex, and not many people typically read them.
Despite his desire to read another light novel, Kanata was thinking of taking it home with him when his shift ended because he was entitled to a daily book loan without having to pay for it.
Plus, there is a chance that someone might come to read that book; after all, it was a famous work and all, so he did not mind waiting for it to the end of the shift.
Sakura Archive was taken care of by one of the four largest families of the surrounding city.
And the name of the master was Haruto Chitanda, the man who gave Kanata this job, the person who had taken care of him for a long period of time.
He is rather friendly, and he tends to visit Kanata a lot of time during the shift.
But recently, he said that he is having his daughter back to the city and has visited less, but even so, Kanata tends to look forward to meeting him, who is like a sun due to his bright personality.
