Chapter 245: Plan Scheduled
As everyone knows, after adopting a Cat, daily life naturally can't just be about happily petting and playing with the Cat. There will naturally be many annoying things.
But fortunately, Kaede and Eriri were both very vigilant, and the bedroom door was always closed, so the rampage of the three Cats, one large and two small, hadn't spread into the bedroom.
After waking up in the morning, yawning, Kaede changed into his sportswear and prepared to go for a run, while Eriri followed him groggily.
Although she really didn't want to go, she had made the promise herself, so she had to stick to her morning exercise every day.
Seeing that the Cat servants at home were up, Camilla, who had already woken up, immediately jumped down from the Cat tree and came in front of the two.
Petting Camilla's head, Kaede said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll prepare your breakfast right away."
Kaede went to get the Cat food, while Eriri went straight to the sofa and sat down, still groggy and in the process of waking up.
And when Kaede returned from the corner of the living room, seeing the trash bag he was carrying, Eriri shuddered and woke up completely.
That bag, naturally, contained the Cat's poop that had just been cleaned from the litter box.
"Seeing this makes me not sleepy anymore."
Hearing Eriri's complaint, Kaede also smiled, "A beautiful day starts with cleaning the litter box. Do you want to take turns starting tomorrow?"
"No way!"
Eriri yelled, getting up and pushing Kaede out, leaving only Camilla and her two children to watch them leave.
After throwing out the trash, the two began their morning run.
Because he had to consider Eriri's stamina, Kaede had always slowed down his pace.
Looking at Eriri, who was keeping pace with him, Kaede said with a smile, "Don't slack off, Eriri. You've been eating a lot of rich food these past two days. On Sunday, we had a barbecue together, and yesterday you went to eat grilled meat with Kasumigaoka-senpai. If you don't exercise properly, you'll most likely gain weight."
"Ugh... I know!" Eriri said with a gloomy expression, panting slightly, "I only realized it after eating yesterday, but it was already too late."
At the same time, Eriri was also thinking that she had bought milk tea yesterday and was glad she hadn't mentioned it... After that, Eriri didn't dare to speak much more. She hadn't reached the stage where she could talk so frequently while running; saying a few more words would just be wasting her energy.
Twenty minutes later, the two slowly returned home. Kaede let Eriri rest first, while he went to prepare breakfast.
His phone rang. Eriri picked it up and saw it was a message from Utaha.
"Are you awake? How was last night?"
"..."
Eriri knew at a glance that Utaha was being suggestive, so she immediately replied.
"I won't use it that quickly!!!!!!"
On the other side, Utaha, who was already awake and eating breakfast, saw Eriri's reply and showed an "as expected" expression.
"Even if she bought it decisively, it won't be that easy to actually put it into practice. Tsk tsk tsk, I thought Eriri had completely changed, but it seems not."
Eriri naturally wouldn't use the clothes she bought yesterday so quickly. She still had to plan it out carefully.
Glancing at Kaede busy in the kitchen, Eriri got up to take a shower.
Walking into the bathroom, Eriri turned on the shower and muttered to herself, "Hmm… it's October now, so Kaede-kun's birthday is in about two months. Maybe I'll wait until then? Yes, yes, that's decided. I can't let Kaede-kun find out easily, otherwise he'll think I'm soft-hearted and that I bought it as soon as he asked."
After washing up, Eriri came out and replaced Kaede.
After breakfast, the two arrived at school.
As soon as she entered the classroom, Usami immediately walked over: "Good morning, Eriri!"
"Good morning, Mizuki."
Putting down her school bag, Eriri said with a bright smile, "Mizuki, Mizuki, let's hang out this weekend!"
"Eh?"
Usami had originally wanted to bring this up, but she didn't expect Eriri to suggest it first. It was fine yesterday in the Art Club, but after going home, Usami thought about it and felt a little bit down. She was, after all, the girl closest to Eriri in class, so why wasn't she invited?
But then she thought again, Eriri was probably meeting Kasumigaoka-senpai to discuss something.
Later, she realized that she hadn't been out shopping in a long time, so she decided to ask Eriri in the morning.
Looking at the surprised Usami, Eriri said, "Because Kaede-kun has to be busy with things at the Bunko on Saturday, he has to work on the new volume, and it seems he also needs to discuss anime promotion. So I just decided to ask you out."
"Anime promotion?"
Usami didn't quite understand.
Eriri nodded and said, "That's right, hasn't the Konosuba anime started airing? The response has been very good so far, and voice actors will be doing various online and radio programs for promotion. Then the anime production team approached the Bunko and asked if Kaede-kun could also participate in two programs. It seems they're going to discuss it on Friday, and then again on Saturday. Hehe, Kaede-kun originally didn't want to go, but I encouraged him to go and have some fun."
"Eh! On a show!"
Usami was surprised and asked curiously, "If he's on a show, won't a lot of people see him?"
"Not necessarily a lot," Eriri explained, "After all, it's not a TV show, nor is it a popular online show; it's just a promotional program tied to the anime's broadcast. Not too many people will watch it; it'll probably just be people who are interested in the anime, the original light novel, and the voice actors. The promotional effort is still somewhat effective. Of course, there are also some well-made programs; if they do well, they'll continue, and if there's enough budget, a large live event might even happen."
Usami seemed to understand, yet not understand: "It sounds really impressive..."
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. It hasn't even been discussed yet. Once there's a result, maybe there'll be a chance to watch it live. Mizuki, are you free to go shopping this weekend?"
"Yes, I am!"
"Great, then it's a date! We'll go out and have fun!"
Looking at the happy Eriri, Usami suddenly thought of something and asked, "But Eriri, what about your work? Is it okay?"
Eriri waved her hand dismissively, "It's fine, it's fine. Kaede-kun and I will draw well these few days. Taking one day off on Saturday is no problem at all!"
Eriri was enjoying shopping more and more now; it was only Tuesday, and she had already planned her weekend.
