Start By Becoming Mangaka 647 Character Design (Patreon)

Utaha looked at the girl who walked with her, "So you're going again?" 

"Yes," Eriri nodded. 

Utaha thought for a bit and said, "He should go back right now." 

"Really?" Eriri seemed a bit excited when she heard it. 

Utaha nodded and said, "But it is useless to tempt him with that airport chest." 

"....." 

"KASUMIGAOKA UTAHA!!!" Eriri was angry and started her twin-tail attack on her. 

"Stop! Stop! Don't attack me with that kind of thing," Utaha said and tried to stop her. 

"What are you doing?" 

Eriri and Utaha turned and saw him there while bringing a grocery in his hands. 

"Yuuki!" Utaha jumped directly on him. 

Yuuki was a bit startled but his strength was enough to catch her, "Be careful, that's dangerous." He couldn't help but reprimand her. 

"Oh, I know that you will catch me," Utaha smiled. 

Yuuki shook his head and looked at Eriri, "I have heard that you have brought your character design a few days ago."

Eriri was annoyed when she saw both of them hugged together but became excited when he asked about her character design, "Yes, I have placed it in your studio, let's go." 

---

Three of them had arrived in his studio. 

Eriri took out the character design that she had drawn before. 

Yuuki checked her character design and saw the model of each of the heroines in the 'Clannad' game that they would make soon. Even though he made this game, he decided to erase one of the characters in the game since he felt that character was useless from the outside of his route. He had played the game before in his past life. He wasn't sure why the company wanted to add this 'Kappei Hiiragi' to the story but he felt that this game didn't really need it. 

There are seven heroines in this game: Yukine Miyazawa, Nagisa Furukawa, Fuko Ibuki, Kotomi Ichinose, Kyou Fujibayashi, Ryou Fujibayashi, Tomoyo Sakagami. 

Yuuki had described what kind of appearance he wanted for each other characters. 

Eriri watched him nervously check her character design, even though she had confidence but she suddenly became quite nervous in front of him.

Utaha also looked at the character design again while waiting for his comment about the character design. 

Yuuki nodded, "It's good." 

Eriri sighed in relief when she heard it, "I'm glad." She slumped on the sofa and felt that her energy had been drained. 

Yuuki grinned, "You should have more confidence, you're a famous hentai illustrator after all." 

"Yes, that's right! But you don't need to say 'hentai' in the last part," Eriri complained. 

"Yuuki, about the story, can I ask a question?" Utaha said. 

"Sure," Yuuki nodded. 

"I have read the route of each girl and how they will end up with each other. In my opinion, it is very good but I wonder why you forget to add this route," Utaha said. 

Yuuki raised his eyebrow, "What route?" 

"Harem route," Utaha answered. 

"...." 

Yuuki was a bit speechless but it was also true that he didn't intend to add harem route in this game, "No, I don't think that route is necessary." 

"Really? But you have your own harem," Eriri said. 

"That thing is irrelevant to the game that we have decided to make," Yuuki answered and asked, "Which route do you like the most?" 

"Now that you're trying to avert the conversation," Utaha said. 

"Yeah," Eriri nodded.

"Why do you become friends with each other in this situation?" Yuuki sighed and said, "It's true that harem is a good ending, but the process to make this game will be stretched out, I don't want you to work until late." He could only bluff since he had never thought of a harem ending for this game.

Eriri and Utaha looked at him for a while and seemed to accept his explanation. They knew that it would take a lot of time to draw the story since there was quite a lot of route in this game. The game would be late to be able to be sold during the winter session. 

"How about your ex-lover? You have a bet with him right?" Utaha asked. 

"Ex-lover? No! He is only my childhood friend!" Eriri said and added, "It seems he joins his friend from elementary school." 

"So he has joined a circle?" Yuuki asked. 

Circle is a group of people that join together to create something such as games, manga, or doujinshi.

Eriri nodded, "Yes, it seems the leader of that group wants me to become their part of a group." 

"What is the name of this group?" Utaha asked. 

"It's Rouge En Rouge," Eriri said. 

"I haven't heard it," Yuuki shook his head. 

"Really? But they're very famous," Eriri said with disbelief.

"This guy won't show any interest when there isn't any beautiful girl in that group," Utaha answered. 

"....." 

Eriri nodded since she accepted her explanation. 

Yuuki twitched his lips and said, "Let's talk about the game again." 

"You try to avert the conversation again!" Utaha and Eriri said at the same time. 

"No, I'm not, since there is something that is more important than that," Yuuki said. 

"Well enough to tease you," Utaha said. 

"....." 

Yuuki stood up and walked to the whiteboard, "Still, we need music, illustration, script, and voice, you can leave the programming to me."

Eriri nodded, "Can you help me draw too? I can draw it alone but it is faster to do it together." 

Yuuki wanted to answer her but suddenly he was interrupted. 

"You little goblin, it is useless to tempt him with that airport chest," Utaha said. 

"Y - YO - YOU, KASUMIGAOKA UTAHA!!!" Eriri became angry again. 

Yuuki sighed when he saw both of them fought to each other and wondered whether they could be peaceful to each other.
