Chapter 398: What If?
Since it wasn't a very detailed drawing, Eriri officially completed it in about ten minutes.
"Done!"
Handing the drawing to Utaha, Eriri said triumphantly, "Hehe, I drew it pretty well, didn't I?"
Eriri really stuck to her promise and didn't draw it in the style of a doujinshi, but it was still quite explosive.
On the sketchbook, the girl's face was clearly visible, 100% confirming it was Utaha herself, and she was even wearing a bikini swimsuit, showing off her good figure.
Although Kaede also saw it from the side, for Utaha, a swimsuit was still within an acceptable range, as they had already agreed to go to the beach together during the summer holiday, and it would be impossible not to wear swimsuits then.
It's just... after staring at her sketch for a while, Utaha said, "Eriri, did you draw me a size smaller?"
Saying that, she pointed her finger at her bust on the sketchbook.
"Looking at your drawing, it should be to scale, right? Then it should be a little bigger."
"Hiss!!!"
Eriri leaned back, gasped, and then leaned close to Utaha's chest, staring at it up close for a few seconds: "Really? I drew it from memory when we went to Hokkaido for a hot spring last year. Do you have to be so exaggerated, it got bigger again?"
"Oh, what's so surprising about that?" Utaha chuckled, proudly puffing out her chest, "After all, I'm still a youthful girl. At my age, it's normal for my body to grow, isn't it?"
"Even if it's normal, it shouldn't be like you!"
Although Eriri wasn't as concerned about the size of her chest now, that didn't mean she would be completely unfazed when facing Utaha's provocation.
Sniffing, Eriri snorted and said, "Hmph, it's just a little bigger? It will eventually fall to the hands of gravity!"
As for Kaede... after seeing the painting and hearing Utaha reveal that it had gotten a little bigger, he completely fell silent and calmly went to watch TV.
See no evil, see no evil... Utaha didn't stay too long. After digesting her food, she didn't eat the snacks she brought, leaving them all for Eriri, and then called a taxi to go home.
After seeing Utaha off and returning to the apartment, Eriri immediately came over and pounced on Kaede, who had been sitting on the sofa.
"Kaede-kun..."
Hugging Eriri, who seemed a bit down, Kaede asked, "What's wrong?"
Rubbing her small head against Kaede's chin, Eriri whispered, "I'm devastated, that woman got bigger again!"
"Hmm... there's no need to compare that, everyone's physique is different," Kaede smoothed Eriri's twin tails and said, "When it comes to figure, bigger isn't necessarily better. It also depends on the coordination of the body proportions. Eriri, you are perfect as you are now, I really like it."
"Hehehe~~ I know."
Shifting her body so she was sitting with her back to Kaede, allowing him to embrace her, Eriri continued, "But it still makes me angry. What does that guy eat to grow so big? Is it GoldKola?"
"Pfft..."
It must be said that under Kaede's influence, Eriri could now say anything.
"You shouldn't let Utaha hear that, or you'll be in for it."
"It's fine, I have a secret weapon."
"What, a doujinshi?"
"That's the ultimate move that hurts the enemy a thousand and oneself eight hundred. I don't want to spend time drawing doujinshi, so I won't use it casually." Grabbing Kaede's hand, which was a size larger than hers, and playing with his fingers, Eriri said with a smile, "Didn't I say it? Single dog, that's just as lethal as drawing doujinshi."
"You..."
Kaede said helplessly, "If you keep annoying her with that, what if Utaha really finds a boyfriend?"
"Wouldn't that be great?" Eriri laughed, "But, I don't think it'll be that easy. Utaha isn't the type to settle. And if she really wants to find someone, as a friend, I'd definitely have to supervise her. I can't let her get hurt! I might not be able to help with other things, but at least in terms of romance, Utaha is definitely no match for me. Don't let her cold exterior and sharp tongue fool you, but what if? If she really encounters a scumbag, after falling in love, it's very easy to be unable to tell and get deceived. Kaede-kun, think about it, many public figures like actors and idols can deceive innocent girls. They're so bold, who knows if there are even scarier scumbags out there."
That was indeed a fact; similar news could be seen every now and then, making people somewhat tired of it.
Raising a hand to pinch Eriri's cheek, Kaede said, "You were so angry just now, but in the end, you still care about Utaha."
"Isn't that obvious? I'm not some wicked woman."
Picking up her phone from the coffee table and opening it to look at the photos taken today, Eriri said, "We bicker normally, but our relationship is still good, you know. I'd definitely help if there's something that needs helping with. And if I really didn't care, Kaede-kun would definitely be angry, wouldn't he?"
Kaede smiled gently, holding Eriri.
Although not explicitly stated, Eriri knew that Kaede indeed thought that way, after all, no one would want their significant other to be a cold person.
Squinting her eyes, Eriri picked up the sketchbook she had put aside and opened it, revealing the swimsuit sketch of Utaha she had just drawn.
"Hmm... it's really big, it's too outrageous. Kaede-kun, what do you think? When we all go to the beach in the summer, if Utaha really wears a swimsuit like this, will it attract too much attention? Boys might not be able to control themselves!"
"Uh... that's very possible."
Kaede thought for a moment and said, "But with Utaha's personality, it's unlikely she'd wear a bikini, right? Although it's not a public beach, quite a few people will be there. What about you, Eriri? Have you decided what kind of swimsuit you want to choose?"
Hearing Kaede ask her, Eriri turned around, straddled Kaede, and said with a smile, "Kaede-kun, what kind do you want me to wear?"
"Hmm~~~~ A one-piece swimsuit, a normal one will do. Anyway, Eriri looks cute in anything."
"Hehe, I knew Kaede-kun would say that."
Men are all the same, even Kaede is no exception.
After thinking for a moment, Eriri said with a slight blush, "Then, Kaede-kun, I'll buy a few sets then. A bikini swimsuit... I'll wear it just for you, okay?"
"..."
Quietly swallowing, Kaede nodded quickly.
