"That's good."
After confirming the time, Asahi turned and left Misaki's room.
He had long ago made [Kotonoha no Niwa].
Reporting on the anime movie is not limited to the news posted by various accounts, including the publishing company that also promotes it.
That is, from the beginning to now, the publicity has lasted for more than half a month. Although compared to other anime movies, a year and a half seems too short.
There was another reason, mainly because [Kotonoha no Niwa] had a total time of just over an hour.
After descending the stairs, Asahi took out his cell phone to call Sonoko.
Within three seconds of the call, the call is connected.
"Hello, Asahi, what's wrong!"
A sexy voice unique to a mature woman came from my ear.
"Sonoko, [Kotonoha no Niwa]'s publicity can be increased. Anyway, let's talk to the cinema."
"Uh, so it's done."
"How can I call you if I don't finish?"
"You hate me."
"No, you think too much."
Sonoko's assistance in all aspects has exceeded the responsibility of the editor, and she basically knows about Asahi's affairs, and she is the one in charge.
"I feel more like an agent than an editor." Sonoko muttered.
Asahi was amused by it: "Then I'll pay you a salary."
"That's not necessary, just remember to invite me to dinner, or else... hum."
"You don't need to say that I will come, I'm afraid you don't dare to come. You have refused several times, and I dare not speak."
Asahi thinks he's invited Sonoko a few times, to no avail.
"You just want to invite me to dinner, don't think I don't know." Sonoko's tone was full of disdain.
"Don't stop writing this month, and don't focus all your energy on anime movies."
"Ahem, don't worry, I'm writing."
"Is that true?"
Sonoko is full of doubts.
"Really, I will definitely give it to you before the deadline." Asahi emphasized.
"Don't become like Nayuta, or else I will find a place to lock you up."
"A world for two? Then I have to carefully consider whether to write it or not."
Would this count as picking up a rock and throwing myself for a while... Sonoko fell silent.
"I won't tease you anymore, bye."
"See you later."
After teasing Sonoko, Asahi who hung up the phone, could smell hot pot from the kitchen.
Jin isn't here, but Misaki is still there, Ryunosuke is Hikokomori, and only Kobato and Rikka are left. The two little girls obviously didn't know how to cook, even the simplest dishes, who would cook? Asahi subconsciously excludes Chihiro.
But the facts have proven that, except for those who can't afford it, that's all that's left. Even though it's impossible, it must be the truth.
Passing through the corridor, Asahi is surprised to see Chihiro cooking hot pot.
"What's your expression?"
No wait Asahi opened his mouth, but Chihiro asked first.
"I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to make dinner."
"Don't talk like I'm useless like a parasite."
Chihiro was very dissatisfied.
"Isn't that so?" Asahi is non-committal.
The hot pot bubbling next to him was the ingredient he brought back, the meat already sliced and kneaded into meatballs.
"What kind of stimulation did you get today?"
Looking at Chihiro with new eyes, Asahi sees her working hard for the first time since he moved to Sakurasou.
"Tsk, don't ask, go and call them."
Chihiro seemed to be in a good mood.
Asahi goes upstairs in amazement and calls Mashiro and Misaki downstairs, while Kobato and Rikka finish watching the anime and run outside the courtyard to fight.
Just as he was about to go out into the courtyard to call Kobato, he suddenly found his troublesome little sister's gothic dress on the ground.
"Kobato, and Rikka, let's eat."
Pushing open the door, Asahi could clearly see his little sister wearing a miniskirt and sleeveless shirt, holding a staff, fighting with Rikka, who was holding an umbrella, like playing house.
"Time to eat."
After repeating that, Kobato turned his head: "Here we come!"
"Put the clothes you took off in the washing machine."
While tutoring his little sister, Asahi takes a gothic dress that's been removed and throws it in the washing machine.
"Ah, um."
"Why suddenly want to change clothes?" Asahi asked.
"Kukuku, this is my true attitude."
"Forget it, as long as you are happy."
Asahi shook his head, and suddenly thought of something: "Uh, if I remember correctly, Kobato, those are your elementary school clothes, right? When you're in your second year of junior high school, you can still wear elementary school clothes without a problem. Could it be that your growth stopped?"
"Hah?!"
Kobato made a surprised sound, then touched her chest with a shaken face, tugged at the hem of her shirt and the waist of the miniskirt, then showed an expression of wanting to cry, and said: "Why, Onii-chan, I won't grow anymore?"
Asahi looked away, some elementary school girls had grown up too fast and looked like adults. As for Kobato, she looks like an elementary school student, does that mean her development has stopped? Rikka was taller than her, and her figure wasn't that great?
"Woo woo woo..."
Kobato was stricken, her expression stiff for a moment, then she dejected, and reverted back to her chuuni appearance.
"Kukuku, think about it carefully, I am a True Ancestor who has lived for a long time, my body will never age, that is a matter of course!"
"Yeah... It's nice not to age."
Rikka looks envious and excited, she thinks this must be a great thing, because it can add a lot of settings to herself.
"Un, this is really… good."
Kobato smiled with a face that was about to cry.
Asahi couldn't bear to reveal the truth, so he had to say against his will: "It's fine, Onii-chan likes Kobato's youthful appearance, and you can't act like a baby when you grow up."
Meeting her big brother's eyes, Kobato immediately rose to her feet bloodied on the spot: "Kukuku, as long as half of my body thinks it's okay, then it's okay!"
Chihiro curled her lips: "Classic Siscon speech, it turns out that your true love is Kobato."
While Kobato and Rikka ran to wash their hands, Chihiro peered from the side.
These guys always liked to joke around with Kobato, Asahi was used to it.
