"I'm looking forward to seeing if you'll be able to make a group of nine in the end, so...... Come on! ”

Finally, before hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu said such a sentence half-jokingly and half-seriously. Vaguely, he seemed to hear a quick, brief, and sincere "thank you."

After chatting on the phone for half an hour, Jiang Yu shook his shoulders vigorously as he walked into the room. As he passed by the living room, he glanced at Xiao Bury, who seemed to be playing some familiar side-scrolling fighting game again, and shook his head helplessly. If this development continues, the little girl who lives a messy life every day will definitely become a waste adult who can't adapt to society, right?

In other words, don't you even have the qualifications to become a social animal? ……

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but mourn silently for that gloomy future.

Then when he passed Shiina Mashiro's room, Jiang Yu hesitated for a while, but he still didn't ask if the other party's comics had been reviewed since he gave a little suggestion last time. For everyone who is struggling on the road of their dreams, after doing their best, whether it is the joy of success or the regret of failure, it is something that should be savored by a person.

After pushing open the door of his room, Jiang Yu seemed to remember something again, stepped back, walked back to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of barley tea that was just cold, and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, summer is all about computers, air conditioning, and cold drinks! It's not time to turn on the air conditioner, so cold drinks have become an indispensable necessity.

And just as the great teacher loves max coffee, Jiang Yu also loves barley tea, a drink that can be found everywhere in Japan.

But...... Speaking of which, the drink of barley tea is also poisonous, Jiang Yu came across this drink by chance on a trip abroad when he was in the last world, and he had only seen it in anime before. And as soon as I met and fell in love, the cold and cold taste was mixed with a slight bitterness, and after swallowing into the throat, there seemed to be a faint wheat fragrance between the lips and teeth, lingering in the arms for a long time.

Of course, barley tea that has not been refrigerated, he is not sensitive~

After taking a sip of barley tea, Jiang Yu sat down in front of the computer and began to concentrate on the last bit of unfinished work in the "Witch's House". For a moment, all you could hear in the room was the crisp sound of mouse clicks, and occasionally a series of keyboard taps came out...... That being said, it's all just a punctuation of the shouting of the living room where fighting games are being played.

……

According to the usual bathing order, Jiang Yu took a shower last, started the washing machine by the way, and then walked to his room while thinking about some problems he had just encountered.

Halfway down the road, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, which stopped him. Looking up a little confused, after discovering the main owner of this phenomenon, Jiang Yu asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong, Shiina?" ”

The girl, who lives at home temporarily because of her father, has priority in all aspects, such as the choice of dishes (although Shiina Mashiro always speaks of Baumkuchen), the use of the bathroom, and so on.

Therefore, after Jiang Yu came out of the bath, Shiina Mashiro had probably finished taking a bath for about an hour. However, looking at the other party's still half-dried hair, Jiang Yu frowned, sighed helplessly, and pulled the other party back to her room without waiting for the girl to answer his previous question.

After pressing the other party on the bed and sitting down, Jiang Yu took out a hair dryer and helped the girl blow her hair "whirring~".

With one hand, he picked up Shiina Mashiro's hair, which was still a little wet, and with the other hand, he seemed a little clumsy to hold the blow blow and aim it at his imaginary destination.

While helping the girl blow her hair, Jiang Yu complained and said, "I said Shiina you...... As a girl, it's best to learn to use it yourself, right? ”

Shiina Mahaku moved his head slightly, his eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake in the moonlight, and his tone lacked emotion and said without ups and downs: "There are Rita and Jiang Yu, so there is no need." ”

"Then I really have to thank you for putting me in such a high position in your heart?" Jiang Yu closed one eye and asked angrily.

"Huh?" Shiina Mahaku suddenly put on a contemplative expression, and then asked with some confusion, "Why does Jiang Yu want to thank me?" ”

“…… You're serious. Okay, what did you say about me before! ”

Feeling the touch of the hair in his hand, Jiang Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then stood up to clean up the hair dryer while beginning to ask about the other party's purpose in stopping him in the first place.

Shiina Mahaku stood up silently, walked to the computer, picked up a stack of hand-drawn drafts, and then stood in front of Jiang Yu with an inexplicable face, and said in a flat tone: "Revised original." ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Jiang Yu lowered his head slightly, looking at the girl's eyes, which were obviously warm pupils, but they were often filled with cold and indifferent colors.

It seems that he noticed this slightly wanton scrutiny, inquiring gaze, Shiina Mashiro's heart has always been unwavering, but somehow there is a moment of fluctuation.

This fluctuation was manifested by the fact that the girl directly stuffed the pile of original comics in her hand into Jiang Yu's arms, and then turned around and sat on her office chair seemingly naturally, and turned on the computer and pen tablet.

Jiang Yu looked at the pile of manuscripts in his arms, then at the girl who started to draw directly, sighed as if he gave up, shrugged his shoulders, sat back on the bed honestly, and began to look at the dozen pages of original comics.

Because it is a daily comic that focuses on a leisurely and relaxed orientation, Jiang Yu finished reading the original manuscript in his hand in just a few minutes. But this time I felt completely different from the last time.

Last time, I didn't want to watch it a second time, and I didn't even want to care about the connected plots, thinking that it would be better if this torture was over; And this time it's starting to look forward to the follow-up development.,Of course,Because Shiina has become a pattern of small stories.,The connection between the different plots is relatively weak.,But this point is made up for by the painting style.,It's extremely easy to ignore.。

It is also on the basis of such a storyline that at least I can still see, that Shiina Mashiro's superb painting skills, which can be regarded as unique in the entire industry, finally have a place to use and bloom with their own brilliance.

After carefully reading the original manga manuscript from beginning to end again, Jiang Yu stood up and walked over to the girl—although he was a little puzzled about how the other party's screen was empty—and gently tapped the original manuscript on the top of Shiina Mashiro's head, and said with a chuckle, "It's a big improvement, Shiina." I think you can give it to Iida-san again, but it would be more than enough to use this manuscript as a submission for the competition. ”
