"Tick, tick" Nozaki Taro's home, the room is quiet, only the clock on the wall is moving one by one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All you could hear in the room was the sound of the clock moving and the pencil rubbing against the paper.

Katsuragi and Nozaki Taro were at the coffee table and the other at the desk, both with their heads bowed and the pen in their hands scribbling on paper.

"Whew" I saw Katsuragi exhale, put down the pencil in his hand, and stretched, he had completed the task assigned by Nozaki Taro and erased the blackened places.

Katsuragi looked at Nozaki Taro, who was still concentrating on drawing comics, and didn't bother him, got up and gently found some comics that had been completed and read them.

I don't know how long it took, but Katsuragi, who was immersed in the plot of the manga, didn't notice the passage of time at all, but he had already drawn Taro Nozaki and called a few times before Katsuragi came back to his senses.

"Little Bird Tour!?Little Bird Tour......"

"Huh!?" Katsuragi, who hadn't fully recovered from the manga, looked at Taro Nozaki, who was calling his name, and finally reacted. He said, "Uh, I'm sorry, teacher, your work is so good, I'm a little fascinated by it." ”

"Well, it's okay. Nozaki Taro was probably happy to have completed the task, and said to Katsuragi with a silly smile.

"I've already seen what you've drawn, I'm very satisfied, and when this manga is finished next month, I'll start teaching you how to draw manga at this time every weekend, okay?" said Taro Nozaki, who decided to agree to Katsuragi's request after having already seen the drawings that Katsuragi had helped with when he read the manga.

"No problem!" Hearing that Taro Nozaki, a manga artist, promised to teach him to draw manga, Katsuragi cheered happily and agreed.

"It's not early, why don't you stay for dinner and leave?" Nozaki Taro, who looked at the time, opened his mouth and said to Katsuragi.

"Oh no!" At this time, Katsuragi noticed that the sky outside had begun to darken, and it was estimated that his mother's dinner had already been prepared, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Taro Nozaki, who wanted to keep him: "I'm sorry, teacher, if I don't go back, my mother will be worried, let's talk about it next time! ”

Nozaki Taro, who heard that his family was worried, didn't keep Katsuragi anymore, but just cautiously instructed Katsuragi: "That little bird tour classmate be careful on the road, see you at school tomorrow!"

"Well, goodbye Nozaki-sensei, and the teacher will call me Xiaomu. Katsuragi opened the door, waved goodbye to Taro Nozaki, and hurried home.

Nozaki Taro stood at the door and watched Katsuragi leave, and only returned to the house when he was out of sight.

Katsuragi trotted all the way to the direction of home, looking at the darker and darker sky, thinking about how to explain to his parents, there was an incident of sneaking away from Kyoto only last month, and he came back so late today, will he not be allowed to go out again in the future, Katsuragi thought with some trepidation.

Fortunately, Katsuragi's house was not far from the school, and it didn't take long for Katsuragi to see his house, and then Katsuragi noticed a figure in front of the house

Looking at something, Katsuragi took a closer look, and it turned out that it was his mother looking for him at the door.

When Katsura saw his mother, his mother Mari also saw him, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked over to look at the weak-hearted Katsuragi and said, "Stinky boy, where did you go? I came back so late, and I will call your homeroom teacher after a while to ask which teacher's house I went to." ”

"Well, I didn't pay attention to the time at the teacher's house, I'm sorry, Mom. Looking at his worried mother, Katsuragi apologized with some guilt.

"Let's go, let's go back to the house for dinner first. Looking at the guilty Katsuragi, Mari didn't say anything more, it's important to let the child eat first, and it's not too late to talk about anything after eating.

Entering the house, Katsuragi found that his father and sister were already eating, and only his and his mother's food on the table had not moved, and it seemed that his mother had been waiting for him to come back at the door.

Gui Mu was very moved in his heart, and secretly decided in his heart that he must pay more attention to the time when he goes out in the future, and if he can't come back, he must also notify his family first.

Katsuragi was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, and then come out to eat, when he passed by his sister Liuhua, Liuhua asked with some suspicion and curiosity, "Where did Xiaomu go today?

Looking at a pair of six flowers that you don't take me to play with, Katsuragi smiled bitterly and replied, "Where is it, I went to Nozaki-sensei's house to help." ”

Hearing that Katsuragi was going to the teacher's house, Liuhua didn't say anything, the first thing she was afraid of now was Sister Shihua, and then the math teacher at school Although Nozaki Taro was very good to her, but as long as she was a teacher, now Liuhua didn't like it sensely.

After looking at Liuhua who had started concentrating on eating when she went to the teacher's house, Katsuragi went to the bathroom to wash up, came out and sat down at the dining table and began to eat dinner.

After the family had dinner together, Katsuragi's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Katsuragi's father, Katsura, sat on the sofa with a calm face and looked at Katsuragi in front of him.

Katsura inexplicably felt that this scene was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out that it had only happened last month, and the last time he secretly ran away to buy gifts, it was such a scene after he came back.

But fortunately, this time it's not a big problem.,Katsuragi explained to his parents about going to Nozaki Taro's house to help Nozaki Taro draw comics.,After the mother listened.,Just told the family to notify the family next time I'm late.。

However, my father, who was a manga editor, was a little curious when he heard that Katsuragi's teacher was still a manga artist: "What is your teacher's name? Do you know the name of the work?"

Hearing his father's question, Katsuragi replied, "The teacher's name is Taro Nozaki, and I didn't see the name of the work, but it's a very good drawing, and it's a love comic." ”

After hearing Katsuragi's words, Katsura thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was no well-known manga artist in the industry who was not named Taro Nozaki, maybe he used a pen name, and it would be nice if he knew the name of the work.

However, Katsura just inquired, and he didn't think about digging deeper, Katsuragi looked at his parents who were going to be busy with his own affairs, and thought about it, and planned to take this opportunity to tell his parents about what he wanted to learn manga with Taro Nozaki.

"Mom, Dad, I want to learn how to draw manga from Nozaki-sensei, is that okay?"

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Katsuragi's parents, who were about to get up, sat down again, and asked Katsuragi with some curiosity, "Xiaomu, you are already learning kendo, why do you still want to learn manga?"

"These two don't conflict, I love comics. Hearing his parents' questions, Katsuragi replied.

"Can you learn it? I'm already tired of learning swords, can I learn manga again?" Hearing Katsuragi's answer, Katsuragi's mother, Mari, was a little worried about whether Katsuragi's small body could withstand it.

As if seeing his mother's worries, Katsura comforted his mother with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's different from kendo, just go and learn it every weekend." ”

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Mari was a little relieved, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.

Katsuragi's father, Katsuraichi, couldn't deny Katsuragi's desire to learn comics, and as a manga editor, out of respect for his profession, he said seriously to Katsuragi: "If you want to become a manga artist in the future, it's not a simple thing, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"Hmm. Of course, Katsuragi knows that it is not easy to become a cartoonist, even if he has a classic comic in his previous life, it is not a simple thing, but he always has to pursue a little, in case he succeeds, if he doesn't want to turn over, he can only be a salted fish forever.

Looking at Katsuragi with a firm gaze, Katsura didn't say anything, just planned to find a time to go to the school and ask if he wanted to teach some tuition to the Nozaki teacher who taught Katsuragi manga.

Before learning kendo, Gui Yi also wanted to pay some tuition fees to Katsura, but Kiritani Fengsong didn't accept it, and in the end he had no choice but to give up, but fortunately, Katsura was also very competitive and didn't embarrass him. According to Kiritani Kazesong, Kiritani Shota is quite satisfied with Katsuragi's talent and persistence.

Katsuragi, who told his parents his thoughts, returned to his room, found his hidden manga plot notes, and revisited them, thinking that he would draw a manga in the future.

Recalling some more plots, with the expectation of a better future, Katsuragi lay on the bed and fell asleep.
