Thinking it over, Tsushima Kagami looked at Shimizu Nayotake, who was currently in urgent need of affirmation—or at least needed to break the shackles of shame regarding her secondary sexual characteristics. He decided to tell a white lie.
"Yes, Nayotake-san."
"I don't think there's a guy out there who doesn't like them big."
Of course, excluding lolicons and flat-chest lovers.
What? You ask how Loli-mamas count?
Don't joke around, hey!
How can the greatness of motherhood be measured by a mere few ounces of meat on the chest?
Some things have already transcended low-level tastes!
"Those people who said it was disgusting were definitely just jealous of you. Shimizu Nayotake, you must be confident!"
After listening to Tsushima Kagami's words, Shimizu Nayotake returned to her previous expression. She picked up her spoon and silently continued eating the strawberry cream cake.
*?
Why is there no reaction again? Was my answer wrong?
She really is an inscrutable person.
Tsushima Kagami couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched Shimizu Nayotake, who acted as if nothing had happened.
However, I guess I understand Nayotake-san a little better today, right?
After all, we even discussed such private matters.*
Thinking this, Tsushima Kagami watched as Shimizu Nayotake finished the strawberry cream cake bit by bit.
When the two finally exited the restaurant, Tsushima Kagami escorted Shimizu Nayotake all the way to the subway entrance in Shinjuku Ward.
After bidding farewell to Shimizu Nayotake, he returned home.
Tsushima Kagami woke up early the next morning, packed his things, and walked to the entryway with his backpack.
"Yukino, be a good girl, okay?"
After putting on his shoes and petting Yukino, he went out and arrived at the station platform where he had agreed to meet Sayuri and the others.
From a distance, Tsushima Kagami saw the trio of Sayuri, Akane, and Sonoko already waiting there with their suitcases.
"Kagami-kun, over here."
Seeing Tsushima Kagami, Sayuri immediately waved her hand, and Tsushima Kagami walked over.
All three of them were wearing sandals today and had changed into cool, refreshing maxi dresses. Kosaka Akane wore a noble and elegant light blue dress with a white feather print, while Sayuri wore a beige dress patterned with pink strawberries.
Even Machida Sonoko was wearing a Bohemian-style maxi dress today. She had tied her short hair back into two small pigtails, transforming her usual tomboy look into that of a girl next door.
After the Shinkansen slowly pulled into the platform, the four stopped chatting, boarded the train together, and found their seats.
This trip was decided by Kosaka Akane before the break began: a training camp for the Manga Research Club at a hot spring inn they had booked in Sendai City.
Moreover, this timing coincided perfectly with the Tanabata Festival in Sendai City, during which various lively festivities would take place.
Ever since the Meiji Restoration and the total Westernization of Japan, traditional festivals imported from the neighbors were changed from the lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar. Thus, Tanabata is generally held on July 7th of the Gregorian calendar.
However, in places like Sendai and parts of the northern region, it is delayed by one month and held around August 7th, also known as "Month-Late Tanabata."
It is generally held from August 5th to the 8th, or even longer.
The four of them planned to use the first two days of this three-day, two-night training camp to finish their final manuscript work together, and then enjoy the last day properly.
After the Shinkansen arrived in Sendai about an hour and a half later, Kosaka Akane led the club members onto a tour bus specifically for travelers. Finally, they arrived at a hot spring inn at the foot of a mountain that offered a panoramic view of most of the city.
Once the four of them had been assigned their rooms and unpacked, they took a short rest. Sayuri took a yukata out of her suitcase just as Machida Sonoko and Kosaka Akane opened the door and walked in.
"Sayuri, what are you doing?"
"Ah? Aren't we going to the hot springs first?"
"We'll soak in the hot springs at night. Right now, of course, we finish the manuscript work first."
Hearing this, Sayuri, who had been excited just a moment ago, deflated like a punctured balloon.
"No way... working as soon as we arrive?"
"By the way, whose room are we going to?"
Machida Sonoko looked at Kosaka Akane.
Kosaka Akane thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Kagami-kun's room. His is the biggest."
"Also, it's in the corner, so there's not much foot traffic. It's quieter."
"Alright."
After deciding, Machida Sonoko helped Sayuri stuff the yukata back in, then took out her manuscript and drawing tools.
The three of them went to Tsushima Kagami's room. Before they could even knock, Tsushima Kagami heard their voices and opened the door proactively.
Seeing the manuscripts in their hands, Tsushima Kagami asked in surprise, "We're starting to draw right now?"
Kosaka Akane and Machida Sonoko nodded in unison.
" The sooner we start, the sooner we finish, and then we can play with peace of mind."
"Alright then."
With that said, Tsushima Kagami specifically asked the owner for a larger table for four, which was just enough for the four of them to draw on.
They immediately entered "the zone."
Tsushima Kagami's own Inorganic Girl had long been completed during this period. Thanks to Yukinoshita Shizuku helping him apply screentones whenever she was free, there were only a few pages left to finish. Once those were done, it would be completely finished.
After some time passed, Tsushima Kagami finally finished applying all the screentones. He organized his manuscript and set it aside.
Then he looked at Kosaka Akane and Sayuri.
"Do you have any manuscripts that haven't had backgrounds drawn, coloring done, or screentones applied? I can help you."
Hearing this, Kosaka Akane and Sayuri quickly found a few sheets from their own manuscripts and handed them to Tsushima Kagami.
"Kagami-kun, we're counting on you."
Tsushima Kagami took their manuscripts. First, he flipped through them, and then his brow furrowed.
"Eh? Where did your 'O-chinchins' go?"
Tsushima Kagami looked at Sayuri and Kosaka Akane's manuscripts. Both depicted battle scenes, but the 'O-chinchins' were drawn only as outlines. It was like...
The blank spaces looked just like the 'light sabers' in Korean manhwa!
It almost confused Tsushima Kagami; he thought he was reading a Korean comic.
Did Japan learn the lazy 'light saber' censorship method this early?
At this moment, Sayuri, Kosaka Akane, and Machida Sonoko looked at each other, then wordlessly buried their heads lower, silently continuing to complete their manuscripts.
Machida Sonoko laughed dryly.
"Ahaha, aren't we pressed for time? So everyone is drawing other things first. That part has a lot of details, so we decided to fill it in together after everything else is done."
"Is that so?"
"That seems to make sense."
Tsushima Kagami scratched his head.
"Then shall I fill them in for you?"
"No need!"
At this, Sayuri and Kosaka Akane raised their heads and spoke in unison.
Then they glanced at each other and buried their heads to draw again.
Seeing Tsushima Kagami looking at the three of them with bafflement, Machida Sonoko laughed dryly again.
"Ahaha, no need, really. Wouldn't that defeat the original intention of drawing doujinshi?!"
"Kagami-kun, just help us finish the backgrounds and coloring."
Tsushima Kagami nodded.
"True. Then I'll start finishing the backgrounds and coloring."
Hearing Tsushima Kagami say this, the three of them stole a glance at Tsushima Kagami, who had already started working, and finally heaved a collective sigh of relief.
