Chapter 348: The Crisis of the Cartoonist (Part I)
"Shouldn't I have come to you when you ran away from home?"
"I said that it wasn't a runaway! Also, I've already said that Shirakawa-san, don't come to me..."
"Do you think I want to, Miss Morihara has found her home, and she is also in school, and she dares to ask for leave..."
"Miss Morihara actually found you! How can you repair it, you actually forgot this stubble... I should have arranged it in advance! ”
“……”
Really... Most people are caught doing something wrong, and they think that they won't dare next time... There is only a fishing girl, and her mind is full of thinking that she didn't play well this time, and she will come back next time.
Shirakawa Zehei said speechlessly: "I heard that you have often missed the activities of the Light Sound Club recently, what's going on." ”
"That's... That and that... That's it..."The fishing girl muttered a few words in a low voice, and Shirakawa Zehei got a little closer, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and couldn't help frowning.
"Speak well."
"It's just... About my comic business..."The girl shrunk her head and said reluctantly, "Because it's a shame to say, I want to solve it myself... It's a pity that I forgot to reply to the editor's message..."
"Actually! Actually, what I can solve very quickly, just a small complaint from some readers, I have no problem at all! As he spoke, his tone became excited again, and he said nonchalantly: "It's just such a trivial matter, it's completely impossible to hit Lord Isshiki Yu!" Shirakawa-san, I'll be going back soon, as long as I finish my draft, I'll be able to return to my normal life soon..."
"It doesn't matter... It's just that... Just a little bit of a problem..."
Shirakawa Zehei didn't speak, just stared quietly into the girl's eyes that were hidden with uneasiness, as if to tear off her fragile disguise little by little.
"Shirakawa-san."
"Don't look at me like this..."The tone of the Ichishiki Feather Brocade gradually lowered a little, and the sense of grievance in the words gradually became stronger.
"It's all said... Don't do that... You're like this..."
"I'm going to want to cry like this..."
The corners of the girl's eyes gradually became rosy, and seeing that Shirakawa Zehei still didn't have the slightest idea of retracting her gaze, she couldn't suppress the grievances in her heart, and tears poured out in her eyes...
"Why... Why do you want to? I don't understand... I really don't understand... What the hell is going to do it... It's a dream that I really want to fulfill, why is it so difficult... Shirakawa-san..."
Shirakawasawa sighed imperceptibly, patted the girl's shoulder, and comforted, "It's okay." ”
"That's not right! Something! Something big! The girl who touched the fish raised her head with teary eyes, and said stubbornly: "Shirakawa-san, you don't understand..."
"I understand."
He gently stretched out his hand, lifted up the body of Ichishiki Feather Brocade, who was crying on his shoulder, and sighed, "Miss Morihara has already told me the general situation. ”
"That's... Shirakawa-san, are you going to laugh at me..."The girl asked, sobbing, "Are you going to laugh at me like those people..."
"I rarely laugh at others, especially those who work hard."
"Shirakawa-san, you really can't say anything about flirting with girls..."The fish girl continued, "What if... If it were the male protagonist of a shoujo manga, he would have said something like, 'I'll never laugh at you'..."
It was useless to do that kind of meaningless thing, Shirakawa Zeping pulled a tissue with his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, and said lightly: "Actually, your situation is not very bad. ”
"Isn't it bad that we're at risk of being cut in half?"
"Isn't that still cut in half?"
"That's all the result of Miss Morihara's help me... It's only been a dozen episodes of comics that are about to end... I'm useless, Shirakawa-san. ”
"You're really useless sometimes." Shirakawa Sawahei nodded.
“……”
"But... Whether it's a useful you or a useless one, they're all a very important part of you, and as a friend, I don't hate any of them. ”
Ichishiki Yu Xiaomei had already puffed out her cheeks, ready to complain to the incomprehensible Shirakawa Zehei, and after hearing his explanation, she finally let out a breath and said sullenly.
"Shirakawa-san... The way you comfort others is really different..."
"The way you praise others is also quite different." Shirakawa Sawahei said and pulled another piece of paper to wipe away the tears on the left half of the girl's face...
One color feather tapestry: "......"
"Shirakawa-san, don't play obsessive-compulsive symmetry games when you're comforting girls..."
"I'm sorry."
"For the sake of your rare gentleness towards me, I'll forgive you...", the fish-touching girl pouted, "However, other girls may not be as good at talking as me." ”
"Hmm."
He answered, turned his head and thought about it, among the girls he knew, it seemed that except for the girl who touched the fish, no one would indeed be wiped by him like this - Hayakawa Summer Solstice could not be so weak as to cry his nose, Xiao Transparent was embarrassed to let him wipe his tears, and Hum Strange, she would occasionally pretend to cry a few words, but it seemed that it was the same as Hayakawa Summer Solstice, and it was unlikely that she would really shed tears.
Well, there's also the black-hearted Lori, if you wipe her tears, presumably she will enjoy it while pouting, which is commonly known as saying no, but the body is very honest.
"So, the current situation is that your comics are at risk of being cut in half because of evaluation problems, so you want to take leave and run out, and hide for a few days..."
"It's not like hiding for a few days! It's out for inspiration! ”
"Okay, after coming out and hiding for a few days, I'll finish the next draft by the way, and see if I can save the evaluation... That's right? ”
“……”
"Shirakawa-san..."The fishing girl said quietly, "Are you peeking at my diary..."
"I'm not going to do something that boring." Shirakawasawa said indifferently: "What's the situation in the comment area?" ”
"Just... It's just a plot evaluation..."Ishiki Feather Brocade remembered those words, and her mood couldn't help but fall again.
"Saying that my plot is not new... It will only attract people by the style of painting... The theme is old-fashioned... I don't feel in love at all, it's not like a shoujo manga..."
"But... But how do I know what kind of love feelings readers want... I've never been in a relationship..."
"Shirakawa-san... You say, will my work really be cut in half? ”
As if infected by the girl's uneasy tone, Shirakawa Zehei was silent for a while, and as if he had made up his mind, he got up and stretched out his hand to the Ichishiki feather brocade.
"Get up."
Ichishiki Yu Xiaokai stretched out her hand in a dazea and put it in Shirakawa Zehei's palm, only to see him use his light force, and the girl who was originally sitting was led to stand up by him.
"Let's go see your comics."
