Chapter 733

No!

Wait—did Natsume Ruri just say that she was drawing girl manga recently but didn't pass the draft, so she needed material?

So these three people... were prepared early and came specifically for this!

Done for, done for!

I'm far behind in the "intelligence war"!

Looking at it this way, I only brought expensive desserts and a game console, although it can narrow the relationship, it seems I didn't completely hit the "core need" of capturing the sister, and thus curvingly capturing Natsume-kun.

Giving girl manga and novels is the more precise, more able to reflect care "correct option," right?

Damn it! Miscalculated!

Akita Sana's alarm bells rang wildly in her heart, but her face quickly switched back to an impeccable fake smile.

She temporarily pressed the pause button of the game, turned to Natsume Ruri, and asked with concern in her tone:

"Ruri-chan, what does 'manga didn't pass the draft' you just said mean...?"

Natsume Ruri sighed slightly and simply explained the process of the submission being rejected again.

Akita Sana finally learned the whole truth, and a sincere regret immediately appeared on her face.

"So that's how it is... then that's really, really a pity."

"However... I'm a bit curious about the specific content of your manga, can you show it to me?"

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai and Yukimura Suzune also nodded at the same time, expressing the same willingness.

"I'm also curious, Ruri-chan's drawing skills are so good, the story must be great too."

"I also want to see it."

As for Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, she had participated in the discussion and even provided ideas, and had long seen the manga content, so she didn't need to see it again.

Natsume Chikage, hearing this, got up and walked to the small cabinet in the corner of the room that served as storage, and took out the manga manuscript that his sister had carefully bound from inside.

"It's here, take a look."

He placed the manuscript in the center of the small table.

Akita Sana, Yukimura Suzune, and Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai immediately gathered together and carefully flipped through it.

They finished reading one page and gently passed it to the next person, their expressions extremely focused.

Soon.

The entire manga manuscript had been carefully read.

The faces of the three girls all showed undisguised regret.

Akita Sana evaluated seriously:

"I think the manga content is great! The story is also very warm, why wouldn't it pass?"

Yukimura Suzune frowned slightly, her cold voice carrying a hint of confusion.

"The content itself is indeed no problem, and the completion is also very high."

"The editor's rejection on the grounds of 'lacking gimmicks' is indeed... a bit of a pity."

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai clenched her two small fists, her purple eyes full of support, and nodded heavily:

"That's right!"

"I think just blindly pursuing heat and gimmicks is not very good! The good story itself is the most important thing!"

Natsume Ruri puffed out her small cheeks and muttered:

"Ruri thinks so too..."

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"However... they said the market decides whether the work passes the draft, it's a cold reality. So Ruri can only pack up her mood and prepare to create a new work."

Akita Sana immediately changed to an encouraging smile and suggested:

"It doesn't matter! Failure is the mother of success!"

Her eyes lit up.

"By the way, I've watched quite a few TV shows and movies with romance themes, after lunch later, we can discuss them together, maybe we can collide with new sparks!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also chuckled and raised her hand full of energy.

"I've actually been crazily catching up on all kinds of girl manga these past few days! Interesting ideas have popped up in my mind again!"

Yukimura Suzune nodded gently and said calmly:

"When I read, occasionally some scene fragments that might be suitable for manga storyboards or narration would pop up in my mind. I should also be able to provide some inspiration for Ruri."

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai added with a smile, her tone full of trust.

"Suzune is very good at literature and narration! I think if we gather wisdom, we will definitely be able to help Ruri-chan conceive a great new work!"

Natsume Ruri was surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm and support, and a bright luster bloomed on her face again.

"Mm-hmm! Thank you, sisters!"

Looking at her sister who had instantly become the center of attention for the girls, as if she were being held by the stars, Natsume Chikage couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, showing a gratified smile.

But at the same time, he also had to sigh again in his heart that the popularity and charm of this sister of his were really extraordinarily high.

Whether it was those classmates who came to visit her at the coffee shop before, or the several outstanding girls in front of him now, they all seemed to like her from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to help her.

And at this time.

Akita Sana picked up the controller again, ready to continue the game with Natsume Ruri.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai noticed that the game screen they were playing had gorgeous colors and cute character designs, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Ruri-chan, what are you playing? The screen looks very interesting."

Natsume Ruri also introduced happily:

"This game seems to be called 'Double Shadow Mirror', the setting is especially interesting! Ruri also thinks it's super interesting!"

She enthusiastically issued an invitation.

"Sister Xiyuan Si-nee, do you want to try it too?"

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai smiled gently and accepted happily.

"Mm, okay."

Because the space was really limited, she had to stick to Natsume Ruri's right side and sit down somewhat squeezed.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was also infected by this lively atmosphere and leaned in full of energy.

"It looks really fun!"

"I want to play too! Take me with you!"

Yukimura Suzune was not particularly interested in electronic games themselves.

She looked at the ingredient bag placed on the side and got up and said:

"Among the ingredients bought, there are sago and fruits suitable for making sugar water. I'll go make some sugar water for you now, we can eat and chat later."

As soon as these words came out.

Among the people present, except for the somewhat natural Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai, and Akita Sana who knew nothing about Yukimura Suzune's "kitchen attribute"—

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, Natsume Ruri, and Natsume Chikage, the three of them, were almost instantly awakened!

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui and Natsume Ruri had personally witnessed Yukimura Suzune's destructive kitchen destructive power last time.

At this moment, hearing this light "I'll go make some sugar water," the cold sweat of the two almost came down.

Their brains started to run at high speed, desperately thinking about how to elegantly stop this potential "kitchen disaster" without hurting Yukimura Suzune's face.

And Natsume Chikage, after the "baptism" in home economics class, naturally knew better than anyone what kind of terrible "kitchen killer" Yukimura Suzune was.

He knew that it was rare for guests to visit, and refusing directly and spoiling the fun was by no means the way of hospitality.

In a hurry, he could only take the initiative to stand up and say naturally:

"I'm more familiar with where the kitchen utensils and seasonings are at home. I'll come to help you, so the efficiency will be higher."

Yukimura Suzune, hearing this, paused in her movements.

She looked up at Natsume Chikage, seemed to think for a second, and then nodded gently.

"Mm, that's fine too."

And Natsume Ruri and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui had both tasted the delicious food and drinks made by Natsume Chikage, and had full trust in his cooking skills.

More importantly, Natsume Chikage had a steady and reliable personality, and with him watching from the side, the hearts of the two that had been hanging instantly dropped by more than half.

They felt that with Natsume Chikage, this "stabilizing needle," there shouldn't be any big trouble.

So, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and put their attention back into the tense and exciting game.

Also because this so-called "kitchen" was actually an extremely narrow area on the side.

Yukimura Suzune and Natsume Chikage didn't take a few steps before they came to this small cooking table. ===== CHAPTER 734 =====
