At night.
The day's bustle had ended, and everyone had returned to their rooms to rest. Eriri sat at the table, staring at the drawing paper in front of her, thinking.
Although Fang Zheng also updated a very good weapon for Ying Lili, Ying Lili was not as excited as others at the moment. On the contrary, she was thinking about what Fang Zheng said to her during the day.
What does that mean? Is he feeling sorry for me? Or does he really have feelings for me? But even if he does, I can't tell that he's the kind of person who would be unfaithful...
"Why……"
Thinking of this, Ying Lili couldn't help but sigh.
What a headache...
"What's wrong? Eriri?"
Hearing Eriri's sigh, the black cat sitting next to the table raised its head and looked at her.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, how could I be feeling unwell? I just..."
Hearing Kuroneko's question, Ying Lili instinctively wanted to gloss over the matter. However, at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of a good idea.
"By the way, I am...thinking about a comic plot, but I don't know how to handle it."
"Oh? That's really interesting. What's the plot? Can you tell me about it?"
Hearing this, the girl with golden curly hair and pointed ears sitting opposite Black Cat immediately turned around curiously and asked. She was the player "Fairy" from the production group of the "Dark Moon Sword" guild. Although she, Black Cat and Eriri were not fighting together, because the three of them had common hobbies, they formed a "Otaku Alliance" and would get together to drink tea and chat whenever they had time.
And tonight is naturally their "tea party time".
"Well... the specific plot is this: the heroine confesses to the hero, and the hero expresses his willingness to accept her confession, but at the same time tells the heroine that he is still dating several other girls... What do you think would be a more convincing reason?"
"That's all the clues?"
The fairy frowned after hearing Eriri's description.
"At least you should tell us what the setting of the male protagonist is."
"Handsome, cool, handsome, smart... oh yeah, pretty much like Mr. Fang Zheng."
“Huh?”
Hearing this, the black cat widened his eyes in surprise.
"Does Mr. Fang Zheng look like someone who would say something like that?"
“That’s why there’s more dramatic conflict.”
The goblin became excited instead.
"Indeed, if someone like Mr. Fang Zheng is unfaithful, then that would be a big deal. If your original intention was to be a scumbag who falls in love with every woman he meets, then this kind of answer would not be surprising at all."
"Well... that's about it."
Seeing the two people's reactions, Ying Lili was also sweating. In fact, she was the same as them. If she hadn't heard Fang Zheng's answer with her own ears, she wouldn't believe that Fang Zheng would say such a thing.
But the fact is, Fang Zheng did say it!!
"So why do you think he said that?"
"…He must be looking for an excuse to cheat on you in the future. Is there any need to ask?"
The black cat was obviously not interested in this topic, but the fairy seemed quite excited.
"No, no, no, this is different, Black Cat. Listen carefully, Eriri said that the hero has already told the heroine that he is dating several other girls, so his meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to see how deeply the heroine loves him!"
"What does this have to do with how deep the love is?"
Hearing the fairy's answer, Eriri couldn't help but complain, but the black cat suddenly slammed the table.
"Yes, that's for sure! If I fall in love with someone, I don't mind if he has sex with his own sister, and it's okay if his sister comes first! Because this is love! This is my burning love that is as hot as the flames of hell, and I am willing to give everything for him...!"
"STOP! STOP! STOP!"
Hearing this, Eriri hurriedly waved her hand to interrupt Kuroneko's words.
"It's not okay to be a biological sister! It's not okay to be a biological sister! It's a big problem in every aspect!"
"Even if she's not my biological sister, it won't work!"
The goblin now stood up excitedly.
"A brother and sister who are not related by blood live under the same roof, and the sister draws pornographic illustrations for her brother... this kind of dry wood meeting a raging fire is troublesome, okay?"
"Eh? I didn't explain it in such detail..."
“Ahem…”
Noticing the curious looks from Eriri and the black cat, the fairy was stunned for a moment, then she coughed a little awkwardly and sat down again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore... Do you think Mr. Fang Zheng is a playboy?"
"Oh... I can't say for sure..."
The black cat didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned slightly red.
"Mr. Fang Zheng can be very mean sometimes and bully people."
Look, if you take advantage of a girl because she is good-looking, that is bullying. If you look at her because she is not good-looking, that is being a hooligan. Even black cats are not immune to this.
"But if I date Mr. Fang Zheng, I will definitely feel safe. At least I don't think he will change his mind easily. Of course, the premise is that you don't do stupid things."
Before they knew it, the topic had turned from comic characters to real people, but this was exactly what Eriri wanted. After all, it would be strange if the topic didn't go off topic when chatting.
"It's hard to say. With Mr. Fang Zheng's ability, isn't it easy for him to attract other girls?"
The goblin waved his hand.
"According to my experience, Mr. Fang Zheng is likely to attract people of all ages when he walks on the street, from elementary school students to middle-aged women. If a girl who is younger, prettier and more fashionable than you appears, wouldn't you feel a sense of crisis? For example, a lively girl who has just entered junior high school can make friends with everyone in the same grade..."
"Make friends with everyone in your grade!?"
Hearing this, Eriri and Kuroneko were both stunned.
“Are there really such people in the world?”
"It's just an analogy, an analogy!"
The goblin waved his hand.
"How about this? Seeing Mr. Fang Zheng chatting and laughing with her, don't you feel a sense of crisis?"
"...No, because from what I can see, Mr. Fang Zheng is not the kind of person who would change his mind easily. Besides, my love can withstand any test, even..."
"Okay, okay, okay, I get it..."
Before the black cat could finish her words, the fairy interrupted her, saying that it was useless to say anything to someone who could accept that her boyfriend had sex with her own sister.
"Let's get back to the plot. Since it's a love story, no matter how many girlfriends the hero has, the heroine will eventually fall in love with him. The ups and downs during this period may serve as the heroine's philosopher's stone. It's a bit unpleasant to say, but as the cat said, in the end the heroine will probably find that even if the hero has several girlfriends, she will still fall in love with him."
Having said that, the goblin yawned.
"But this is also a common harem plot, GALGAME, harem comics, animation, isn't it like this?"
"Really..."
After hearing the fairy's answer, Eriri looked at the drawing paper beside her again.
"Yeah, but harem endings only happen in the game world. After all, the real world is not that easy. In the real world, even if you are really willing to share a man with several women, there will still be pressure from family and society. And how will you tell your child about his family situation when he is born? People will also point fingers at you when you go out. So, harem endings only happen in games and light novels. In the real world, this is simply impossible."
After saying this, the fairy buried his head in the book in his hand again, and the topic seemed to come to an end. The black cat stopped talking and buried his head in his writing again. Only Eriri was still staring at the drawing paper in front of her silently, and then muttered to herself.
"Not in real life, but in the game... yes... I guess."
As she spoke, Eriri raised her paintbrush and added the final stroke to the paper.
