"Natsu-kun, I heard from Mahaku, you've been teaching her how to write a manga outline lately, right?" asked Ayano Iida with interest.

Xia You swallowed the milk tea in his mouth, and then nodded: "Hmm." ”

Of course, he said that he was teaching, but in fact, he didn't do anything, just checked the outline written by Zhenbai, and then gave some advice, and didn't interfere much.

"That's right, in fact, next month our publishing house is going to hold a newcomer award, and if I can, I hope Mashiro can participate. Ayano Iida said.

"Newcomer reward?" When Xia You heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Miss Iida, which publishing house do you work in?"

Kodansha. ”

Hearing this, Xia You was immediately a little surprised, but I didn't expect Iida Ayano to be the editor of Kodansha, which is too coincidental, right?

You must know that the teacher Tsukimiri who took over the manga work of "Sword Art Online" is also a manga artist of Kodansha, and as soon as October arrives, the Sword Art Online manga will be published in the new issue.

As the time is getting closer and closer, Xia You has often used Line to communicate with the teacher of Tsukimiri in these days, and he also took the time to complete the comic script and send it over.

"Xia Jun, what's wrong?" Noticing Xia You's strange expression, Iida Ayano couldn't help asking.

"Nothing. Xia You waved his hand," you continued. Iida Ayano coughed and said, "Since Mashiro wants to become a manga artist, it is naturally the first choice to debut through the rookie award." There are many benefits to doing so, and you will get more resources. ”

"Definitely. ”

Xia You's head, he himself debuted through the Sneaker Newcomer Award, and he has a deep understanding of this.

If he hadn't participated in the Rookie Awards initially, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current popularity, but it would have taken more time.

"So, since Xia Jun is teaching Mahaku the syllabus of creation, please put more effort into this time, so that Mahaku can create a comic as soon as possible, so that he can participate in next month's newcomer award. Ayano Iida said seriously.

Although she can do these things, it is obviously not as convenient as Natsuyu who lives with Shiina Mashiro, and she is usually very busy with work, so it is difficult to always take care of Shiina Mashiro's manga.

And considering her terrible plot creation ability, it is obviously not possible to pay attention to it all the time, and she will definitely draw crookedly.

That's why Ayano Iida asked Xia Yu like this.

"Okay, I see. Xia You nodded briskly.

As an older brother, it is normal to help his sister, where will he shirk.

But the two of them said this, Shiina Mashiro, who was the person concerned, didn't care about it at all, and still buried her head in small bites of pudding, the corners of her pink lips were stained with a little cream, she wiped it off with her index finger, and then reached into her mouth and licked it for a while.

This natural and cute performance made Xia You and the two of them look at each other, and they were a little ridiculous.

Subsequently, Natsuyu proposed to exchange mobile phone numbers and email addresses, and Iida Ayano nodded happily.

After exchanging ideas and trying to send an email, the waiter just happened to deliver the newly ordered desserts, so Iida Ayano began to feast.

After she finished eating, the three of them got up and left, as for the bill, it was naturally paid by Ayano Iida, she ate the most, and actually spent tens of thousands of yuan...... There's enough to eat.

I grabbed my umbrella and walked out of the café, and the rain outside had weakened a lot, leaving only a drizzle.

"Then Miss Iida, Mahaku and I will go this way. Xia You opened the umbrella and held Shiina Mashiro's pink little hand.

"Well, remember to stay safe on the way back. Ayano Iida smiled and nodded.

"You too. ”

After waving his hand to say goodbye, Xia Yu pulled Shiina Mashiro into the rain and walked in the direction of home.

Seeing them go away, Iida Ayano took out her mobile phone, then opened her mailbox, found the address with the note "Rita" and sent an email.

"Rita, just like Mashiro said, her brother, that Xia Jun, is a very nice person and is also very good to Mashiro. 』

"Well, since even Ayano said the same thing, it seems to be true...... Still, I'm going to have to come and see it for myself. 』

"When are you going to come over?"

"Probably next week, I have some business to attend to in the UK. 』

"Okay, give me a call when you want to come, and I'll pick you up at the airport." 』

"Okay. 』

With a click, Iida Ayano closed the phone, threw it back into the bag, and then opened the umbrella and entered the rain, still humming a tune on her lips, she was going to go to other stores to forage for food, and she was still a little unsatisfied with eating desserts.

——

At night.

Shiina Mashiro's room.

Natsuyu sat at the desk, grabbing the mouse and scanning the contents of the document on the computer screen—it was the outline of the manga that Shiina had written.

And Shiina Mashiro herself sat leisurely on the bed, she had just taken a shower, and she was wearing a white dress, the texture was thin, relatively cool, the skirt was just knee-high, although the color was a little monotonous, but it just set off the girl's innocence and refinement.

She was still holding a glass of hot milk in her hand, and she was drinking it slowly, her white and tender calves dangling.

Those soft eyes swept the ground, looking around, as if thoughtful, but in fact they were just in a daze.

"Hmm......"

Xia You quickly scanned the entire outline, because there were not many words, but after reading it, his face was slightly serious, and he didn't have a too relaxed look.

For no other reason, the outline written by Zhenbai still has not made much progress, and it is not interesting to read.

Of course, it can't be said that there is no progress at all, at least Shiina Mashiro has understood the beginning and end of the story.

You must know that she didn't even understand this at first.,The story drawn is basically a road to the end.,The male and female protagonists meet.、And then fall in love.,And finally the end......

It's understandable, but the plot conceived by Shiina Mashiro is still too immature, and it's boring to watch, and it's basically impossible for anyone to like it.

Before the change, Xia You was not in a hurry about this, even if it took more time to teach Mahaku, it didn't matter, as long as she could improve slowly, but in the evening, after listening to what Iida Ayano said about the newcomer reward, he had to be anxious.

Because if you want to participate in the newcomer award, you must draw the first three words of the submitted comic before the deadline next month.

Although it is not difficult to draw three words in half a month, considering the speed of Mashiro's painting, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to catch up if he still can't decide the story he wants to draw, considering the speed of his painting......

Of course, whether he can catch up or not, Xia You actually doesn't care, he just hopes that Mahaku can be happy, but now that Mahaku himself wants to participate in the newcomer award, he can't swallow it slowly.

"Well, maybe it's time to think of something else......"

Xia You pondered, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a good idea, so he turned his head and beckoned to Zhenbai, who was sitting on the bed and dangling his calves.

"Mahaku, come here. ”

"Huh?" Shiina Mashiro put down the milk and walked over barefoot on the cool floor, "Brother, have you finished reading the outline?"

"Hmm. ”

"Can you start drawing this time?"

When Shiina Mahaku heard this, the beautiful Danfeng looked at Xia You without blinking.

Xia You shook his head: "No." ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the newcomer award, the outline written by Shiina Mashiro this time could have been drawn into a manga...... Although the plot is still very immature, she has an advantage that no one can match, and that is the top painting skills she has mastered.

Relying on that beautiful and awe-inspiring painting style,Shiina Mashiro can completely make up for the missing points of the plot vacancy.。

At least Xia You thinks that if you take it to submit, you have a good chance of success.

But if you take it to participate in the newcomer award, it is different, because the competition for the newcomer award is fierce, and it is still unrealistic to be selected just by the style of painting.

Kodansha, one of Japan's three largest manga magazines, is also holding this newcomer award, and the competition is only as fierce as that of other publishers.

Thinking about it this way, Shiina Mashiro's chances of being selected are even lower, so Xia You told her that she couldn't draw this outline into a manga.

"Still can't ......"

Shiina Mashiro was a little disappointed, she had written the outline several times, but all of them were rejected, and her little face was a little discouraged.

Soon, though, the discouragement faded away, and Shiina Mashiro returned to her usual appearance, one of her great strengths was that she never gave up easily because of failure.

For such a girl, even if it is not a sister, Xia Yu believes that he will definitely not be able to help but want to help, and he thinks to himself that the reason why Iida Ayano and that Miss Rita take care of Mashiro so much is probably the same reason.

So he smiled and said, "Mashiro, I think you can try to write a comic outline of things in reality." ”

"What do you mean?" Shiina tilted his head, his little face uncertain.

Xia Yu explains: "In other words, you can take the material directly from reality - for example, draw a caricature of the daily life that lives here. ”

"Wouldn't that be fun?"

Xia You didn't answer her, but asked with a smile: "Mashiro, do you think it's fun to move here from your home?"

"Hmm. Now she replied decisively, "Very happy." ”

This is the true words of Shiina Mashiro.

Although it's good to live in Tokyo, my mother and grandfather take good care of her, but I'm still so lonely, well, it's good to live in the UK, with Rita with me, but sure enough...... She still likes to live here the most, with her brother with them, she is happy every day.

Xia You squinted and smiled: "Then remember this mood, I believe that drawing it into a comic will definitely be very interesting!"

"Ah, of course, you can't completely write the characters in reality, at least the names can't be anything, so you have to change some settings. He added.

"I see. Shiina Makoshia tapped.

Xia You raised his hand and touched her hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can write an outline first tonight." I'll read it for you when it's done. With that, he got up and walked out of the room, no longer bothering the girl's efforts.

Seeing Xia You go out, Shiina Mashiro slowly retracted her gaze, she stood still and didn't move, just raised her hand and touched her hair...... That's where Xia You touched just now.

For some reason, Shiina Mashiro felt her emotions throbbing inexplicably, and her heart was beating a little fast.

After standing for a long time, still unable to understand what was wrong with her, she shook her head in confusion, then sat back down and began to write the outline.
