The room was quiet. Only the sound of erasers and pens moving across paper rang out from ti to ti.
Mikoto was responsible for erasing the lines on the manuscripts, while Shido was responsible for filling in the parts marked with X in black. Although this was Mikoto's first ti taking part in making manga, because the girl was very careful, she completed her work smoothly.
"Haa…"
After who knew how long, Shido also let out a long sigh. He was holding a professional manga artist's manuscript in his hands, so it would be a lie to say he was not nervous. But no matter what, his side was also completed smoothly.
"Oh, you did pretty well."
At that mont, Nia walked in.
"It was a very interesting experience."
Mikoto smiled.
"Honestly, I haven't been this tense in a long ti."
Shido also smiled wryly.
Then, the smiles on their faces froze the instant they saw Nia.
For so reason, Nia had suddenly changed into a maid outfit with a very short skirt, an open chest, and even boldly exposed waist and stomach. It looked sowhat seductive and tempting.
"Wait, why are you dressed like that?"
Shido asked with a red face.
"Nia-san…"
Even Mikoto did not know what to say.
"This? I bought it before as reference material. Since the boy and girl worked very hard, I thought I'd provide a little fanservice."
Nia answered with a giggle. Although she called it fanservice, rather than Mikoto, it was clearly provided for Shido.
"Then, here is your pay."
She waved two envelopes and walked toward Shido and Mikoto.
"Ah, right."
Halfway there, as if she had thought of sothing, her eyes lit up. Then she placed the envelopes into the opening at her chest.
"Co, you two. Co. Take. Your. Pay."
"I said, what are you doing?"
Shido's face had already beco as red as a tomato.
"This…"
For so reason, Nia seed to really enjoy teasing Shido. But even Mikoto could not help blushing at the girl's actions.
Plop.
However, the next instant, the two envelopes slipped out from Nia's chest and fell to the floor.
"…" x3
For a mont, the atmosphere beca heavy.
"Could it be… that having a flat chest is also a sin?"
As if she had suffered so kind of shock, Nia lay on the floor and said sadly.
"Um, we should go back."
Shido stood up and said.
"Ah, wait! You don't want your pay? So a flat chest really isn't good enough? In that case… girl, I leave it to you!"
Nia hurriedly stood up. After taking a look at Mikoto's figure, her eyes lit up again.
"Eh?"
Looking at Nia suddenly pouncing toward her, Mikoto panicked.
"Ta-da! Complete!"
In the end, Nia still moved quickly and stuffed the two envelopes into the opening of Mikoto's low cut sweater, where they happened to fall neatly into the girl's beautiful cleavage.
"Wow! They really can be held there! Co, boy, enjoy these full breasts that look just like a manga character's to your heart's content!"
Nia excitedly pushed Mikoto into Shido's arms.
"Ugh…"
Startled by Nia's sudden action, Mikoto was at a loss.
On the other side, Shido had absolutely no idea where to look. A cute girl and envelopes filled with money created a seductive atmosphere stained with luxury and desire, while the girl's shy face added a few touches of purity to that alluring scene.
"Um… please don't do this…"
In the end, Mikoto took out the envelopes herself and returned them to Nia.
"Huh? You don't want your pay?"
Nia asked.
"We don't need it. Just helping with drawing manga was already a very good experience."
Mikoto nodded.
"Eh? That won't do. Take this money and buy sothing tasty."
Nia said.
"Compared to us, Nia should use this money to buy so nutritious food. Don't collapse by the roadside again."
Shido shook his head.
"Uwah. What is this feeling of being beaten at my own ga?"
Nia said, depressed.
"Then, Shido and I will be leaving."
Although Mikoto was sowhat concerned about Nia's identity as a Spirit, it would be safer to leave this kind of matter to Kotori and have her scan Nia with a spiritual wave detector.
"Wait, wait! If it ends like this, I won't feel satisfied!"
Nia said in a rush.
"Right, how about this?"
Suddenly, she seed to think of sothing and lightly clapped her hands.
"I'll be free this Saturday after handing in my manuscript. Boy, let's go on a date."
She suddenly said that.
"Eh?"
Mikoto was slightly surprised. If Nia really was a Spirit, was her actively asking Shido on a date rely a coincidence, or…
"But in exchange, I get to choose the location. I haven't bought anything recently, so let's go to Akihabara for the first ti in a while."
(So she just wants soone to carry her bags?)
Hearing Nia's words, Mikoto smiled wryly in her heart.
"I'm sorry, but can't you ask soone else? How about a friend?"
Shido scratched his hair. If she really was a Spirit, that was one thing, but if she was an ordinary girl, then he really should refuse.
"No use. Haha, I don't have any friends."
For so reason, Mikoto noticed that for an instant, a faint shadow appeared on Nia's face.
"Rather, what about you? Is it really okay for you to refuse ? Isn't dating Spirits your mission, boy? No, Itsuka Shido-kun."
After that, Nia said that with a wicked smile.
"…" x2
Hearing Nia's words, Mikoto and Shido fell silent.
"Huh? What's with this atmosphere? I thought you'd be more surprised."
Nia said in surprise. Her carefully prepared punchline had not produced the effect she wanted, which surprised her a little.
"No, even if you say that, senpai and I more or less guessed already."
Shido awkwardly scratched his cheek. If it had not been for Mikoto, he probably would have been shocked.
"Whether it was Nia-san's age and debut timing, or running into a girl collapsed on the ground when we went out, there were quite a few things that bothered ."
Mikoto sighed.
It was not only the age issue. Nia was a famous manga artist. That much was clear from the huge reaction caused by the return of her serialization after five years of silence.
If nothing else, a famous magazine like BLAST would not put the return of a manga artist on the cover if that author was not popular.
No, in the first place, the fact that she could continue serialization after a five year hiatus already showed how highly BLAST valued Nia.
And there was no reason for such a famous manga artist to collapse from hunger by the roadside. Even if she was too lazy to go out, she could at least make a phone call and order delivery.
"I see. The girl is the careful type, huh? I was careless."
Nia nodded. It seed she had no intention of hiding her identity.
"But I'm curious. Why did you deliberately appear in front of Shido and ?"
Mikoto asked.
If it was not accidental, then it was intentional. She did not know what Nia was thinking.
There was only one thing she could be sure of. Nia's target was Shido. Ever since they t, Nia's words and actions had all clearly focused on Shido.
"Well, since I've been exposed, there's no helping it. I'll tell you properly. Astral Dress, Number Two, Yod"
In an instant, dense spiritual power gathered, transforming into an Astral Dress resembling a nun's habit, wrapping around Nia's delicate body.
