Chapter 531: Have you been doing well recently?
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Hoshi was the next to arrive after Hisashi .
Hisashi’s eyes instantly lit up at seeing the beautiful boy who appeared like a girl walk into the room .
“Perfect!” Hisashi gave two big thumbs up .
“Senpai… er?” Hoshi had been about to greet Seiji when he was interrupted .
“You must be the Fourth Knight, a cute boy just like in the stories I’ve heard . This is truly amazing! Please allow this humble one to take a few pictures…” Hisashi took out his cell phone and was about to approach Hoshi .
Slap!
Kaede decisively took out a paper fan and slapped her brother in the face with it .
“Please don’t mind this idiot here, Amami-san . ” Kaede smiled . “I shall take responsibility for suppressing him . No need to worry about any danger . ”
What the hell was with her using the word “suppression”? And, where on earth did she bring out that paper fan from? Seiji’s eyes twitched .
“Ow… My dear younger sister, what was that for? I merely wanted to make friends with the Knight of Light…”
“Your existence is a threat to Amami-san . You need to be quarantined . ”
“Quarantined? Is this humble one a virus!?”
“That’s right, a virus by the name of pervert . ”
“That’s terrible!”
The Juumonji siblings became rather rowdy .
Hoshi didn’t know how to react to this scene and merely stared blankly at Seiji .
“This is Hisashi Juumonji, Juumonji-sensei’s older brother, whose internet username is Milk Cream Sweet Sweet Pig,” Seiji introduced Hisashi to Hoshi . “I’ve mentioned him before to your sisters . And as you can see, he’s such a person . ”
“…He’s someone who seems just like how he acts on the internet . ” Hoshi took a glance at Hisashi .
“I’m so pleased to meet you, Knight of Light! Please allow us to deepen our understanding of each other and become good friends!” Hisashi spoke in a passionate tone and attempted once more to get closer to Hoshi . And, once again, his younger sister Kaede smacked him with the paper fan .
“This is how they show their sibling love for each other… I think . So, don’t mind them . ” Seiji gave Hisashi a sidelong glance .
“Oh… Alright . ” Hoshi nodded .
Hoshi was already acquainted with everyone present except for Hisashi . There was no need for further introductions .
Hoshi paid special attention to Shika who was sitting next to Seiji . Hoshi worked up his courage to speak to Shika after he sat down as well .
“Kagura-san… Have you been doing well recently?”
“Very well,” Shika replied .
“I see… you must be having lots of fun living together with Senpai . ”
“Yeah . ”
Hoshi looked at Shika and inwardly exclaimed as he recalled the way she had been in the past .
Although Shika’s expression seemed just as cold and distant as before, the aura coming from her, or perhaps the feeling that she gave others, was obviously different .
Compared to the so-called “Divine Girl” from before, she now had a gentler aura that made her seem more “human” .
‘This is all because of Senpai,’ Hoshi thought to himself .
‘Just like how Senpai saved me, she was saved as well . She now has warmth and happiness .
‘This is truly wonderful, Kagura-san . ’
Hoshi was sincerely happy for Shika’s sake . He showed this with a smile .
“Amami-senpai…” Shika looked at Hoshi as something flashed in her eyes . “Thank you so much… for that time . ”
She lowered her head and expressed her sincere gratitude to him right after she said that .
Hoshi was startled by this, but instantly realized why she was thanking him . His smile grew even greater in brilliance .
“No need for thanks, Kagura-san . ”
‘I didn’t do anything at all apart from telling you his name . ’
Hoshi looked towards Seiji .
Seiji looked towards his adopted younger sister and his junior and smiled at both of them .
“Apart from Kagura-san, everyone here is a member of the Knights of the Round Table . This is almost like an offline meeting . ”
That was Yukari’s first comment after she arrived and did introductions .
Just like Hoshi, Hisashi Juumonji, aka “Milk Cream Sweet Sweet Pig”, was the only person she had never met before .
Yukari was somewhat surprised to find out that their high school’s infirmary nurse as well as health teacher Kaede Juumonji was the internet user in their knight group called “Merry-go-round” .
“Indeed, this is quite like an offline meeting . However, apart from Shika-chan, there’s one more person I’ve invited who isn’t a member of our knight group,” Seiji mentioned .
“This humble one has figured out who that person might be…” Hisashi revealed a serious expression . “Could it be that…”
Seiji intentionally smiled mysteriously .
The final person arrived exactly at this moment, almost as if she intentionally did so to help complement his expression .
“Hello, everyone . ” A classical beauty wearing a cap, dark-rimmed eyeglasses, a brown jacket, and a plain dress, arrived and greeted everyone politely .
“Hello, Sensei . ” Seiji smiled in greeting .
“Sensei?” Yukari blinked in surprise . She then immediately noticed that Hisashi, who was sitting across from her, had a stunned expression with mouth wide agape .
“Allow me to introduce her . She is Mayuzumi Amami, as well as Hoshi’s aunt . Her pen name is Peach, and she’s the creator of the manga and anime known as ‘Honey Candy Girl . '”
It was now Yukari’s turn to be surprised upon hearing this introduction .
Peach-sensei… The creator of “Honey Candy Girl”!?
She couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise as she stared at the beauty standing across from her .
Thump!
Hisashi kneeled down in a beautifully proper posture .
“This humble one… has met the Holy Creator Goddess… I shall die with no regrets!” he spoke in an incredibly moving tone .
Everyone else was rendered speechless .
“This is the person I told you about before, Sensei . He’s a huge fan of ‘Honey Candy Girl’, and his name is Hisashi Juumonji . ” Seiji did the introductions .
“…Thank you for your support, Juumonji-san . ”
“I’ve believed in you for all my life, Peach-Goddess!”
“Please don’t address me like that . It makes me feel rather awkward . I’m just a mangaka . ” Mayuzumi was rather embarrassed .
“No! You are a Goddess in my eyes!!” Hisashi lifted his head and had the expression of a fervent believer .
“That’s enough out of you, idiot Second Brother!” Kaede was no longer able to bear with his behavior and began suppressing him again .
Yukari’s surprise speedily disappeared together with the ruckus .
She recalled that she saw this mangaka together with Seiji before during the school festival . It was just that she didn’t know who Mayuzumi Amami was back then at that time .
Looking at Peach… Amami-sensei, she felt some idolization towards her as she herself was a light novel artist .
Although Yukari had thought about drawing her own manga before, she had never tried it for real, not even the very beginning . After all, drawing manga was quite difficult . It was on a completely different level from drawing cover and insert art for light novels .
Yukari understood just how difficult it was, which was why she truly respected Mayuzumi Amami for doing her own story and artwork by herself . Now that Yukari met the beautiful mangaka who achieved such a great success in the industry, she couldn’t help but feel like she wanted to become just like her as well .
“This is Yukari Asamiya . She goes to the same school as me . You saw her previously at the school festival . ” Seiji introduced Yukari to Mayuzumi .
“I remember… Hello, Asamiya-san . ”
“Pleased to meet you, Amami-sensei,” Yukari spoke in a respectful tone . “I’m currently drawing art using the pen name of Romance of Ice and Fire…”
“You’re Romance of Ice and Fire?” Mayuzumi had an obvious expression of surprise .
“Yes…”
“Ice and Fire-sensei, you draw excellently as well . I even keep a few of your drawing in my collection and have used them several times as references for my own drawings . ”
“Really?” Yukari was quite astonished to hear this .
Mayuzumi smiled and nodded .
Her own artwork was being used as references by such a popular mangaka! The purple-haired girl suddenly felt proud of herself, feeling that she had received recognition .
“I’m so happy that Peach-sensei found my art to be of assistance,” Yukari stated sincerely . “Actually, I’ve considered the idea of drawing manga before, but deeply feel that my personal abilities are insufficient . There’s still so much more I need to learn… May I please learn from Sensei in the future?”
