Eriri's sincere gaze held emotion that made Shin-chan unable to refuse. The memories of spending over ten years together in another world couldn't possibly be fake.
Even if she had changed from a Yorkshire terrier into a beautiful girl, these feelings wouldn't change.
Just as Eriri mustered her courage, preparing to confess her feelings to Shin-chan, the rooftop door was suddenly pushed open by someone.
A black-stockinged JK wearing a school uniform came onto the rooftop, looking at the two of them in surprise.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was a regular visitor of the rooftop, and because she didn't get along well with others in class, she often brought her own bento to eat lunch alone up here.
After transferring to a new school, the first thing she did was come to the rooftop to check out the environment.
Who knew that as soon as she arrived, she'd see the beautiful girl Sawamura Eriri, who was in the same grade as her.
She was currently being hugged by a boy. Compared to Eriri, the boy was taller and had a more athletic build, obviously someone who exercised regularly.
Even though Eriri's eyes were brimming with tears and her eye rims slightly red, her expression clearly showed that, at this moment, she was very happy, and was full of longing for the embrace of the man before her.
Utaha instantly felt an explosion of inspiration, her desire to create reaching its peak.
She had always wanted to write a romance light novel. Originally, she planned to use herself as the model and fabricate a male lead, writing out all her yearning and longing for love. But for various reasons, she hadn't started writing.
Right now, Utaha felt like she had found her subject, wasn't this the perfect material right in front of her?
Hearing the commotion behind her, Eriri was startled and let go of Shin-chan.
She turned and looked at Utaha, and when she saw it wasn't a teacher, she let out a sigh of relief.
Whether it was Sobu High or Shuchiin, both had very strict school rules. If a teacher caught them hugging on the rooftop on the first day of school, it would not be easy to deal with.
Of course she also recognized Utaha, the famously beautiful girl in school, but they weren't familiar with each other.
"Isn't this Sawamura-san? Is that your boyfriend?"
Eriri originally thought Utaha would be tactful and leave, but she didn't expect her to greet her.
Were they familiar? Hadn't they never even spoken?
"Haha, not exactly."
Eriri glanced at Shin-chan. Was she Shin-chan's girlfriend? Of course, Eriri wanted to become lovers with Shin-chan, but in this world, they had only just met.
"Right, Shin-chan, can I get your number? My mom wants to invite you over for dinner this weekend to thank you for helping me back in elementary school."
Utaha, standing nearby, became even more interested after hearing Eriri say that.
'So the two aren't lovers, but had some kind of story in the past, and this hug now was a reunion after a long time apart.'
Wasn't this the perfect romance light novel setup?
"Sure. Then let's talk over Line later? I've got to head to the kendo club to let the captain know I'm done, can't keep people waiting too long, that's no good."
With Utaha being so tactless, there was no way the two could continue their earlier conversation. Plus, her intense gaze was making Shin-chan feel uncomfortable.
This woman had quite a nice figure and was Shin-chan's type, but she looked like a sharp-tongued, long-haired schemer, Shin-chan preferred someone gentler.
And he really had promised Aikou Rokushin to meet up soon.
As for Eriri saying her mom invited him to dinner this weekend, Shin-chan wasn't worried at all. It's just a parent, right? Come on, would he, Shin-chan, be scared of something like that?
"Then let's chat later!"
After getting Shin-chan's number, Eriri was extremely happy. This was the first step, she was already way ahead of that vulgar woman Suotome Ai.
"Sawamura-san, he already left, so stop grinning like an idiot."
"Huh?" Eriri only now came back to her senses, there was still someone else on the rooftop. That black-stockinged tone-deaf woman. If not for her, maybe she could've confessed her feelings to Shin-chan.
"Did you need something?"
Eriri's smile was very fake, and the message was obvious, 'we're not familiar, so if there's nothing, hurry up and leave!'
Utaha seemed not to notice Eriri's expression and didn't reply directly.
"Do you really like that boy from earlier? Want to date him?"
"Huh? Wha… What are you talking about!"
In front of others, Eriri was still the tsundere type, unable to straightforwardly say what she really felt.
Seeing Eriri's tsundere expression, Utaha, for the first time, felt that tsundere was actually kind of cute.
"Sawamura-san, give me your number too! I'm really interested in your relationship with that boy, you're just like the male and female leads of a light novel! Can I be your love advisor?"
Male lead and female lead? Her and Shin-chan's situation, wasn't it just like an anime or light novel plot?
In this life, she, Sawamura Eriri, was the heroine. That detestable woman Suotome Ai, if she ever got the chance, she would definitely make her witness everything between her and Shin-chan firsthand…
Looking at Eriri, who had a silly smile and a slight blush on her face, it was like she was already fantasizing something.
That beautiful, elegant, half-foreign girl, was privately such a blonde pervy tsundere? This contrast made Utaha feel like her inspiration was about to explode.
"So, how about it, Sawamura-san?"
"Ah! Sure! But… can you really give me love advice?" Eriri was still a little doubtful. She hadn't heard of this famous ice queen having any experience in romance.
"Of course! Just look at me, do I look like someone who's never dated before?"
Utaha proudly puffed out her chest, but in reality, she did have zero romantic experience.
Seeing Utaha's full figure, even Eriri couldn't help but swallow.
Damn it, even in the lewd doujins she draws, she never designed a body this exaggeratedly seductive. If she had a body like that, Shin-chan would definitely be head over heels.
Maybe because of her reunion with Shin-chan, Eriri didn't overthink it. With this well-endowed, romance-savvy Utaha helping her, she should have a much better shot, right?
Her love rival was the young lady of the Suotome family, a very powerful opponent. Eriri admitted that if she didn't have memories of another world, she would have stood no chance against Suotome Ai.
They weren't even on the same level. Suotome Ai's layered tactics, Eriri had seen many of them when she used to live with Nohara Shin-chan.
But Eriri had her own strengths too. As a doujin artist, she knew way more than that rich girl Suotome Ai ever could.
