Crychic was established under Kanzaki Saku's activity, but for some reason, he felt like he could already envision the scene of the band dissolving on a rainy day.
Although in this world, it seemed unlikely that Sakiko and Uika would form Mujica together, was it possible that after Crychic really stayed together for a lifetime, Chihaya Anon and Uika would form Mujica instead?
Or perhaps, Sakiko and Chihaya Anon would form MyGO, and the remaining people would reorganize into Mujica?
Just thinking about these various permutations and combinations made Kanzaki Saku struggle to keep a straight face.
However, Crychic had only just been established, so who could say for sure what the future held.
He was escorted home as usual. In the entrance hall, only a pair of small leather shoes belonging to Sagiri were neatly placed there. It seemed Taki didn't get a chance to review her studies today.
"Sagiri?" Kanzaki Saku called out tentatively.
There was no response; the house was quiet.
This made Kanzaki Saku slightly surprised. Usually at this time, upon hearing the door open, Sagiri should have long since pounced on him like a hungry tiger on a little lamb.
Kanzaki Saku changed his shoes and walked into the living room. A half-drunk glass of water sat on the table, and snacks were casually tossed on the coffee table. It looked like Sagiri had been here not long ago.
"Sagiri?" He called out again and walked up to the second floor.
Sagiri's bedroom door was tightly closed, which was quite unusual. Normally when she was home, the door would be left ajar so she could hear the commotion of her brother returning at any time.
Kanzaki Saku walked to the door and raised his hand to knock, but after a thought, he stopped. Instead, he pressed his ear against the door to listen to the movement inside.
Although the soundproofing was very good, Kanzaki Saku possessed a superpower. He [Reversal] reversed his hearing slightly and heard faint, subtle sounds coming from inside the door. It wasn't the sound of speaking, but the scratching sound of a pen tip moving rapidly across a digitizer tablet, along with the occasional soft click of a mouse.
He confirmed that Sagiri was drawing. Moreover, it seemed she was drawing with extreme focus, not even noticing the sound of him coming home.
Sagiri drew illustrations to earn money; the Kanzaki Saku without memory synchronization knew this. But the current Kanzaki Saku, with memory synchronization, roughly guessed that Sagiri wasn't just drawing illustrations—she was drawing doujinshi.
So, Kanzaki Saku thought for a moment and didn't knock directly. He extended a finger, gently pressed it against the position of the door lock, and moved his will slightly.
He temporarily reversed the concept of "the door lock is in a locked state."
Without making any sound, the internal structure of the lock silently changed its state. Kanzaki Saku gripped the door handle, turned it gently, and pushed open a crack.
He didn't enter immediately but looked inside through the crack in the door.
Sagiri was sitting with her back to the door, in front of her drawing desk. The light from the computer screen reflected on her side profile; one could see her expression was extremely serious, carrying a visible sense of excitement. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and the tips of her ears were red too.
She hadn't noticed the door opening at all; her entire attention was focused on the screen. Her right hand held the pressure-sensitive pen, moving rapidly on the tablet, while her left hand occasionally operated the keyboard to switch brushes or adjust layers.
Kanzaki Saku quietly pushed the door open and walked in silently, standing a few steps behind Sagiri, looking at the screen.
On the screen was a color illustration that was already mostly complete. The art style was exquisite, the lines fluid, and the coloring delicate—completely at a high level of professional standards.
However, regarding the content of the image...
Kanzaki Saku raised an eyebrow.
It was a pair of siblings. The brother was gently holding the sister, and the two were sleeping in each other's embrace. The scene was heartwarming—except for the point that they weren't wearing clothes, there was nothing to nitpick.
Although the characters' faces weren't exactly the same as his and Sagiri's, that mode of interaction, along with the decorative details faintly visible in the background room... Kanzaki Saku could tell at a glance that Sagiri was drawing some kind of fantasy scene involving herself and him.
How should I put it... it had that "Little Chef Girl" vibe to it!
Kanzaki Saku watched quietly. Sagiri was drawing very devotedly, completely unaware that there was an extra person behind her. She was currently refining the lines of the brother's arm holding the sister; every stroke was drawn with great seriousness, as if she were depicting some kind of holy scene.
As she drew, she stopped and stared at the screen for a while. Then, suddenly, she buried her face in her arms, her shoulders shrugging slightly, and let out a suppressed whimper that sounded both shy and excited.
"Wuu... Brother..."
She muttered softly, her voice muffled in her arms, almost inaudible.
Kanzaki Saku almost laughed out loud. He held it back and continued to watch quietly.
Sagiri raised her head, her cheeks even redder. She took a deep breath, picked up the pen again, and started adding some details to the picture.
Kanzaki Saku didn't speak either; he just stood behind her watching. Who knows how much time passed, but it seemed Sagiri was about to complete today's task.
Although there were only a few pages, Kanzaki Saku could tell this was a pure love sibling doujin.
His evaluation of this was: Sagiri, oh Sagiri, this kind of pure love you draw is certainly nice, but adding NTR elements would give it more dramatic tension, and more people would read it, ah.
Sagiri finally completed the last few strokes. She put down the pressure-sensitive pen, let out a long breath, leaned back against the chair, and looked at her work with satisfaction.
Then, unrelated to what she wanted to do next, she suddenly pulled out a few tissues, and then stood up wanting to take off her clothes.
Just as she stood up, her line of sight inadvertently swept past what was behind her.
She saw Kanzaki Saku standing there.
Sagiri froze completely. Her eyes stared wide and round, her mouth opened slightly, and the flush on her face that had risen due to her devotion to creation instantly faded, turning pale. Immediately following that, it turned beet red again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How to describe Sagiri's mood at this moment? It was like secretly doing some indescribable things in the middle of the night, only to turn on the light and find your mom standing by the bed watching you.
No, it was worse than that, because you can't really use your mom as fantasy material, but Sagiri really used Kanzaki Saku as material.
And the thing she drew was displayed glaringly on the screen.
So, faced with this situation, what solution did Sagiri think of?
A. Don't stop, don't rest; directly push Kanzaki Saku down.
B. Display high emotional intelligence; stand directly on the computer desk and look at Kanzaki Saku without doing anything.
Sagiri's choice was to make a very loud noise, attempting to muddle through.
"Bro... Brother!! When did you come in?! Did you knock?! Did you get my permission?! This is a violation of privacy rights!"
Kanzaki Saku blinked, his face full of innocence. "I knocked. Maybe Sagiri was drawing too devotedly and didn't hear?"
"Impossible! I absolutely didn't hear it!" Sagiri put her hands on her hips, using momentum to cover her guilty conscience. "Even if I didn't hear it, Brother can't just come directly in! This is a matter of principle!"
"Is that so? I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Kanzaki Saku apologized with great sincerity, then pulled the topic back. "So, what was Sagiri drawing, to be so devoted?"
