Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Are You Moving Too?

This conversation felt like an existential interrogation, leaving the goof-off girl a bit dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but lower her head and start pondering exactly what she’d been drawing all this time...

I like this character, but I’ve drawn her in doujinshi, which means... I’ve been ’minotaured’ by a character I drew???

Where did this philosophical issue come from!

Is it pure love, or is it minotaur?

The cute little Ise Yu’s limited brain capacity immediately crashed, and she looked at Shirakawa Sawahei with a face of despair, crying: "It’s over... I’m doomed... Shirakawa, you’ve denied my existence’s meaning all this time..."

"Your existence’s meaning is way too fragile."

"There’s basically no minotaur, or rather, all doujinshi are just minotaur..." The cute little Ise Yu continued tearfully: "What do I do, I feel like I’ve degenerated into Sister Yin’s form... My life has turned gray, never to have bright colors again..."

"Is this a trial from the gods for the Pure Love Warriors... Turns out I’ve never passed this trial... I’m a sinner, I can’t go to heaven anymore..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

This silly girl is too easy to deceive. He originally just wanted to casually test her reaction but never expected her to start contemplating life’s essence.

"Actually, you don’t need to be so conflicted." Shirakawa Sawahei thought for a moment and then consoled her: "You can choose not to draw anime or game fan works, just focus on original creations..."

"In the world of originals, there’s no way for you to be ’minotaured’ by a character you drew."

The cute little Ise Yu hesitated for a moment and asked confusedly: "Can I really do that?"

"Of course you can." Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to remember something and replied with a blank face: "As long as you don’t use me as original material, it’s totally fine."

"But... when I see cute things, I really want to make them... cough cough... Shirakawa, you get what I mean, right?"

"I don’t."

"Basically, I want to see their H side. Actually, I originally wanted to be an illustrator, but unfortunately, no light novel writers have commissioned me..."

"Maybe your style is too wild, and the publishers are afraid you can’t control yourself, so they don’t commission you."

"How could that be! I’m clearly very restrained!"

"..."

"Ah... Shirakawa, I really can’t let go of the cute fan characters... Could you help me think of a reason so I can continue drawing fan works..."

Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at her. Was this girl actively asking him to deceive her?

"Then maybe you should tell yourself that the distinction between minotaur and pure love only exists in the same dimension; cross-dimensional enforcement is not possible."

"Eh! Great idea! The third dimension and the second dimension are different! Shirakawa, you’re really the best~"

Having resolved a philosophical issue with peace of mind, the goof-off girl started contemplating the subject matter for doujinshi again. Shirakawa Sawahei thought that if she could apply such seriousness to her studies, she might also be a pretty good student.

But now? Haha, a person who only goofs off isn’t worth wasting my precious time...

A day’s part-time routine began again, and the shop owner Hinata Rion seemed to be busy preparing for the summer ComiCon lately, rarely having the chance to come here. Some matters were left to the barista Koyama Haruko to handle.

It must be said, for this tough battle of summer ComiCon, both the Pure Love War God and Minotaur Warrior were gearing up, ready to showcase the charm of their respective factions.

Hinata Rion’s side was reportedly already in the revision stage and soon would be contacting the printing factory for production. Meanwhile, Ise Yu was still leisurely considering what topic to draw. From this point of view, Hinata Rion’s goof-off skill level is definitely lower than Ise Yu’s.

Hmm, finding someone lazier than this person seems indeed difficult.

In his spare time, Shirakawa Sawahei took out his phone to search online for rental information, hoping to have a chance to sort through some options first.

The first requirement was to be closer to the station. Taxis in Neon are ridiculously expensive, and Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t want to experience the feeling of the taxi meter pounding on his heart with every tick.

Secondly, the surroundings shouldn’t be too noisy. The place he currently lived in didn’t have good soundproofing. If conditions allowed, he’d prefer a slightly quieter place.

Then comes the most realistic point: the price can’t be too high... Although the first and third points seem somewhat conflicting, it doesn’t matter much. There are so many rental listings that he should be able to find a few hidden gems.

For reference, Shirakawa Sawahei also asked Koyama Haruko, as an adult, if she had any opinions on renting a house. The barista thought for a moment, shook her head, and said she didn’t have any useful advice to offer.

However, she did recommend a few reliable agencies.

He accepted the business cards of the agencies recommended by Koyama Haruko one by one and thanked her. The barista just briefly expressed her surprise about Shirakawa Sawahei’s rental situation and didn’t delve further into questioning.

The politeness of adults probably lies in the fact that if you don’t intend to speak further, I wouldn’t chase after you to keep asking.

After the part-time job ended in the evening, Shirakawa Sawahei routinely walked home with Ise Yu Yuzhijin. It wasn’t until they were near the intersection where they usually parted that he remembered he hadn’t told her about his plan to move. After thinking it over, he said, "I might not be able to go to school with you in the future."

With a bang, the red bean pastry in the goof-off girl’s hand fell to the ground. She asked in shock, "Nani! Why!?"

"Shirakawa, could it be that you think I eat too much... Walking with me is embarrassing for you..."

"..."

Heh, woman, as if if you ate less, walking with you wouldn’t be embarrassing.

Shirakawa Sawahei snickered twice in his heart and explained, "I might be moving. I’ve been looking for a house recently."

"Eh?? Moving!"

The goof-off girl’s reaction was much like that of the girls in the Calligraphy Club, quite surprised. But she seemed to think of something and soon changed her attitude, shyly asking: "So~ Shirakawa, have you found a house yet?"

"Why are you asking?" Shirakawa Sawahei keenly sensed the girl’s attitude seemed a bit strange, and he asked cautiously, "Why? Are you moving too?"

"Cough cough... sort of..." The cute little Ise Yu lightly coughed twice and probed: "Shirakawa, why don’t we rent a place together?"

"Regarding the rent, I can contribute more. Anyway, my little savings as a manga artist have plenty left, plus the summer ComiCon will bring in more income... By then..."

Shirakawa Sawahei quickly interrupted the goof-off girl’s babbling, his face full of confusion: "You’re suggesting co-renting with me?"

"Eh? Why is it ’also’..."

"Nothing... Why do you want to co-rent with me?"

Shirakawa Sawahei clearly didn’t believe that Ise Yu came over to co-rent just to help him. She was better than the Black Hearted Lolita at best, but surely her reasons weren’t simple either.

"The way you put it... I just feel Shirakawa living alone is too pitiful, so I want to keep you company. Plus, you can help me study, and we won’t need to find other times and places for tutoring!"

The cute little Ise Yu was speaking so confidently, like a good girl who’d go to great lengths for a friend. However, Shirakawa Sawahei certainly didn’t buy her nonsense and directly exposed her: "If you don’t tell the truth, I’m leaving."

"No, no, no!"

"Fine... Actually, the main thing is I don’t have freedom at home. I’ve always yearned to live in a bright and happy place where I can live freely, without too many constraints..."

"Speak human language."

"The place where I hide my R18 figures and doujinshi is almost full. I want to find a new place to store my little treasures."

"..."

Without hesitation, Shirakawa Sawahei turned to leave. Ise Yu quickly grabbed him, tears filling her eyes: "Shirakawa, you can’t leave me. It’s tough being a closet otaku. Only you know I’m a manga artist, and you’ve still treated me the same, and I’ve always remembered this kindness..."

"So, this is how you’re repaying that kindness? By stuffing your R18 figures into my home?"

"Eh~ What do you mean, Shirakawa? It’s obviously our home... Rest assured, as long as the place is big enough, I absolutely won’t affect you!"

"I’m begging you! Shirakawa! My parents won’t let me rent a place alone, saying I don’t have the ability to live independently. But with you, it’s totally different! They’ll definitely agree!"
