It's past 5 p.m., Hattori's house.

"Miss Ashisu, please be serious." Yayoi took a manga draft and said to Miss Ashisu, "Look, the background here is so strange, the time should be April, the day when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom." The cherry blossom branches here are bare. ”

"I'm sorry." Miss Ashisu immediately apologized, she glanced at the door sadly, and sighed, "What a mess." ”

"Oh~ didn't you do it before?"

Miss Ashisu brushed her hair and said uneasily, "After so many years, I'm still a manga assistant, what a ......"

In this way, Miss Ashisu is not worried about her disciple, or not exactly about her disciple. She's just having low self-esteem.

The assistant of the same period, the lover has long been serialized, and she is still standing still.

Usually there is nothing, but now that the lover has come to the studio, the contrast is too obvious.

Alas! Yayoi sighed in her heart, that is, after Aifu and Harima, Miss Ashisu is also going to leave her.

"Miss Ashisu, after the end of 'Infinite Terror', I have something I want to talk to you about." Yayoi said calmly.

"Huh?" Miss Ashisu covered her mouth in surprise, and said, "I see." ”

"Rustling", Nozaki is immersed in drawing a manga, and does not react to the conversation between the two people.

Looking at his appearance, Yayoi was extremely satisfied. This assistant gentleman can be evaluated with full marks in any aspect. Except for his weird thoughts.

Why do you respect the Miyamae sword so much? If it's his editor, it doesn't have to be. Among the manga people Yayoi knew, even Heimaru would be tough;

Coupled with the fact that the person he admires the most is his disciple, Yayoi can't turn this corner no matter how much he thinks.

"Nozaki-kun, how long have you been practicing drawing manga?"

Nozaki raised his head and said retrospectively, "It's been more than two years since I started the second grade of junior high school in my country."

"Hey! More than two years! Miss Ashisu was not calm, "Are you just a high school student?" ”

"Yes." Nozaki nodded calmly.

"That's really amazing," Ashisu-san sighed, "It's just a high school student, whether it's the background or the characters, it's quite powerful, and the current high school students are all monsters!" ”

Nozaki was not shocked, and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, I'm still too far from the manga teacher." Especially the teacher serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump". ”

When chatting with friends, when it comes to manga artists, the others are Yayoi Hattori and Eiji his new wife. Only he had the courage to stupidly say love. The boys are fine, but the girls will blush, point at him and say, Baga, perverted!

Although I can't understand the girl's approach, I haven't changed my respect for the teacher. But Nozaki learned to be ambiguous and say on a large scale.

Miss Ashisu is even more satisfied, this assistant-kun has the ability not to say, and his personality is also very good. It will be much easier to get along with him in the future.

The conversation was to relax, and after a while, the studio fell silent again.

It wasn't until 20 minutes later that the silence was broken by the sound of the door opening.

"What are you? It's weird. Natsume pushed open the door and said curiously.

Sister Ashisu glanced at it, dodged it quickly, and then looked at it again with relief;

And the strangers sitting at his workbench, looking at him with eyes so eager that they almost melted him.

"Ugh." Nozaki sighed softly, very disappointed.

I'm so sorry!

Natsume rolled her eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

"This little brother is my new assistant, if you don't have an extra desk, you can take a break today, and tomorrow there will be another table added by the courier company."

"No, I'll just draw on the table in my bedroom." Natsume said to Yayoi obediently, and then he looked at Nozaki, "Hello, I'm Takashi Natsume. ”

Nozaki nodded, "Hello, I'm Umetaro Nozaki." ”

"Nice to meet you." After Natsume said hello, he said to Yayoi, "I'll go to the bedroom first." ”

"Wait," Yayoi asked, looking at Natsume with a smile on her lips, "Why did you come home so late today and your clothes were dirty?" ”

Natsume scratched his hair embarrassedly, and said shyly, "It's all that guy from Haruhara, and I have to play football with him." ”

"It's rare." Yayoi quipped.

"Red deer spring plains." Natsume complained, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it.

Yayoi waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go take a shower first." ”

"Hmm."

After Natsume left, Miss Ashisu whispered to Yayoi, "Natsume, he has changed a lot, and I should really thank the child called Haruhara." ”

"yes." Yayoi sighed.

……

Time gradually passed, and there was still no trace of the person who should have come, Nozaki looked at the door from time to time, full of anticipation for the door but there was no movement, he couldn't stop sighing.

"What's the matter, Nozaki-kun." Miss Ashisu asked.

"I'm sorry. Excuse me. Nozaki's eyes were in a trance, he was very anxious in his heart, and he reluctantly turned around and said, "The teacher hasn't arrived yet, I'm just a little anxious." ”

"It's not a big deal." Miss Ashisu smiled kindly, then he looked at Yayoi and asked suspiciously, "Sensei, are there any visitors today?" ”

“…… Without. ”

Miss Ashisu wondered, "So this is... What's going on. ”

Yayoi accentuated her tone: "I said, there will be someone coming today." ”

But Nozaki-kun said, "Miss Ashisu was stunned when she said this. She muttered, "It won't be ......"

Before Yayoi could answer, there was a knock on the door, and the familiar voice came from the door:

"Hattori-sensei open the door! I'm a disciple! ”

"Ai Apprentice Teacher!" Nozaki couldn't sit still, he got up suddenly, ran to the door, opened the door, and said with mixed feelings: "Ai Apprentice Teacher! ”

Finally! See you at last! Loving apprentice teacher! After all these years of hard work, it has not been in vain! I'm going to pour out all my feelings!

"Huh? You are? The smile on the corner of Aitu's mouth froze, and he took two steps back and asked suspiciously.

I can't be wrong, yes, all these years. It's okay to go wrong.

However, he just said [Ai Apprentice Teacher], which is so strange.

"yes, you should introduce yourself first. I'm so stupid. Nozaki said in a panic, "I'm Nozaki Umetaro, 15 years old, 190 cm tall, birthday is June 6, Gemini." Good at cooking......"

Ai interrupted him and asked eagerly, "What is the point?" ”

Nozaki smiled wryly: "I'm really sorry, but I'm actually good at manga, but it's too far behind my apprentice teacher." It's really a class axe. ”

"Huh?"

The lover's expression was complicated.

And Miss Ashisu was no better, she opened her mouth in surprise, and after getting used to it, she asked with a twitch in the corner of her eyes, "Hattori-sensei, this should be my misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding." ”

"I'm sorry, Ashisu-san." Yayoi said sadly, "It's all true. ”
