Chapter 19: Growth

The next day, Yu Kamiya yawned and returned to Kyoni Animation, feeling a little sleepy but not as seriously affecting his daily work as last time.

"I accidentally indulged in it again, but I finally coherent the imaginary actions of Ruby Rose in "Red", and initially perfectly reproduced the "Red" chapter in the world of consciousness, and the rest is to make a more detailed transformation of the entire text." Thinking about the results of last night's battle, Kamiya Yu can't help but feel satisfied in his heart, just like building his own world in the game "Minecraft", there is the pleasure of building and cultivating.

Not long after Kamiya Yu sat down at his original painting table, Aoi Morishita, who was holding a small stack of documents in his hand, greeted him and handed him the documents in his hand: "This is the corrected original painting that needs to be copied today, so I'm in trouble with Kamiya-kun." ”

She is dressed in a gray workplace beauty suit, which sets off her not petite body quite handsomely, her neat short hair half covers her sharp eyes, and with black-framed glasses, it always makes people feel that she exudes a powerful aura all the time. This woman is like a short sword unsheathed, the blade is cold and straight, and you can feel the sharpness of the edge when you wield it.

"Senpai Morishita, is there only the number of 3cuts in total for correcting the original picture?" Yu Kamiya, who was sitting in the original art chair, turned around and took the file bag, and felt the weight a little to know how many cuts of the corrected original art were inside.

Aoi Morishita glanced at Kamiya Yu, nodded calmly and said: "Now it can be regarded as filling in the vacant time compressed by the eighth chapter, and barely returning to the original construction period order, thanks to Kamiya-kun completing the copying of that part of the original painting of the god correction within the specified time last month." ”

Yu Kamiya smiled and didn't mind: "It's just a job within my account, and I don't want to slow down the overall progress of the original painting department." ”

"yes, then this is for Kamiya-kun, Kamiya-kun looks sleep-deprived now, so if Emuki sees it, he won't spare you so easily, anyway, you're now her student. It's also a belated reward for Kamiya-kun. Aoi Morishita shook the black canned coffee in her hand, put it on Yuu Kamiya's table, and turned away neatly.

"Thank you." Yu Kamiya thanked her back, and she couldn't hold back a smile in her heart.

Aoi Morishita and Uehara Aezuki are completely two different women, one is as weak as water on the outside, but harder than steel on the inside. A gentle side that looks as cold as ice, although it acts decisively, has a delicate and delicate side.

Kamiya glanced at the frozen canned coffee next to him, opened the lid and took a sip, the rich coffee flavor accompanied by the mellow bitterness rushed straight to his brain, making his mind and body feel excited, and the overly stimulating taste made him almost not squirt out the remaining coffee in his mouth.

"Damn, is this a drink that people drink?" Yu Kamiya picked up the canned coffee with a strange face and looked at the name of the package - super strong compressed coffee.

――Senpai Morishita, do you really like to drink this kind of thing?

"It's only 3 cuts, so it's a good idea to be lazy today. The assignment assigned by the teacher is required to be submitted the day after tomorrow, and if you complete it now, you can relax on tomorrow's rest day. ”

Yu Kamiya, who is already completely familiar with the original animation of "Mr. Onigiri Superman", can get this number of original paintings in an afternoon, he took out the corrected original paintings in the file bag and put them on the table, took a deep breath to adjust his mental and physical state, and I have to say that the compressed coffee just now did dispel his mental sleepiness without leaving any residue.

The moment he slowly put pen to paper, the restraint of his thinking gave Kamiya the illusion that the hustle and bustle of the whole world was far away from him.

・・・・・・

In the evening, when it was about to get off work, Yu Kamiya came to Uehara's office, and at the same time submitted the correction of the original painting, and handed over the finished project of the original painting of "The Girl Who Likes Apples" to her.

Uehara Ezuki, who is sitting, now reviews the revised original painting he submitted before taking over the original painting project of Kamiya Yu, the white drawing paper depicts a girl with a bright smile, the dark hair and the apple she holds in her hand have a certain charm, Uehara Emitsu has never seen the character of this girl, but you can read the girl's character from the simple original painting.

The painting skills, verve, and character settings have all reached the qualified boundaries required by her heart.

"Qualified." Uehara Ezuki put down the original painting project held by Rou Yi with the long sleeves of her kimono, and before Yu Kamiya had time to be happy, she said calmly: "However, how should I explain that Kamiya-kun used his work time to complete the project?" ”

"Ahh Yu Kamiya touched his cheek in embarrassment, and asked uncertainly, "Teacher, can you see this?" ”

Uehara Eizuki's lips raised slightly, outlining a subtle angle, and he seemed to smile and said, "Kamiya-kun won't admit it now." ”

"Uh." Seeing Kamiya's depressed and speechless appearance, she explained softly: "It's the style of painting, when Kamiya-kun focuses on the animation "Mr. Onigiri Superman", and then depicts other original paintings, it will leave some traces of the painting style. Rest assured, since Kamiya-kun has done his job, I have no reason to blame you in any way. ”

Kamiya Yu's face relaxed, and he said embarrassedly: "Teacher, so judging from the work of this subject, can I be considered to have improved?" ”

"Proud? It's not bad overall, and now Kamiya-kun is out of "Mr. Onigiri Superman" and is also a qualified basic concept artist. Uehara picked up the tea bowl on the side of the table and grinded it with a small tea broom. After a pause, she lifted a package from under the table, and Uehara gently stroked the package and continued, "This book should have something to do with the current Kamiya-kun. ”

She opened the package, and it was an old book on the art of the artist, but the inside of the book was covered with bookmarks of different colors, and the folded corners showed how often the owner of the book usually flipped through the book.

Yu Kamiya leaned over and asked curiously, "Is this the teacher's note?" ”

Uehara Emi hummed lightly and said lightly: "This book has accompanied me for three years, and it took me three years to eat all the things in this book. This book chronicles the early changes in my original art achievements, and with Kamiya-kun's current talent, it may only take a few months to master these techniques, and by that time Kamiya-kun is already a good concept artist. ”

Yu Kamiya stood aside and didn't speak, thinking about the meaning of what she said.

Uehara Ezuki held the book in both hands and handed it to Kamiya Yu, and said in a quiet voice: "In every way, I am very jealous of the changes in Kamiya-kun and the talent he has, so please work hard Kamiya-kun, and witnessing Kamiya-kun's growth is also a meaningful thing for me." ”

-- It's jealousy, not envy.

Yu Kamiya noticed the difference in Uehara's words, and when he took the book, he nodded and said seriously, "I will definitely not disappoint the teacher." ”
