I still can't imagine how to give a soul to my work, maybe that's why my story doesn't sell.

Sakura-shiro paints our story, which has a vivid feeling, but it is as empty as my story.

"Sakuraba, why did you become my exclusive illustrator? You can draw for even better writers. ”

"Hmm." There was a hint of doubt in Sakura's eyes, then she closed her eyes, and then opened them again after a moment.

"I don't know, maybe it's because of the epitome of the writer in the story, the author's feelings, or maybe the author's empty heart."

"What do you see in my book......"

"We're the same, maybe I see myself in your story."

"Is that so......"

"That's right, from the online articles before your debut, to the story of being cut in half, every book, the reality without a soul."

"Huh? Why didn't I understand ......"

"You write a lot of realistic stories, and those are all you, why did you change the genre of the work later, for fear of being found secret, or for something else."

Sakura Bai is really scary, maybe she has known me very well since she never met.

"You still haven't told me why you became my exclusive illustrator."

"Because we're alike."

There's no second sentence, just a sentence that we're alike. At this time, I realized that I didn't know much about Sakurabai, both in the past and now. Sakura and white are in a way that I can't see.

"It's very similar...... "Sakurahaku repeated what Sakura Bai said, muttering to himself. After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that Sakurabai had told me about her past, that lonely story.

Can't Sakurabai touch the outside world...... Is it just this loneliness...... If we link our past.

Because he was too good, he was targeted and alienated...... That's what it looks like, right? Maybe it's really similar, and they are forced to close their hearts.

"Sakurahaku, one day, I will write a great story, and then I will comic it, and then it will be animated, so that the story we create will move, speak, and watch it with you later!"

"Why, so suddenly, ......"

"From the moment you started illustrating my stories, I'm happy every time I see it, you give them an image, maybe this time, what you give them, is the soul! You are also always, can give me a new meaning and give me a direction forward! ”

"Really...... Why do you always, give me new dreams......" Sakurabai's voice slowly became smaller, and I didn't know if she could hear her until the end.

"Huh? Sakuraba, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, so let's do it together." The corners of Sakurabai's mouth are slightly curved, and Sakurabai, who is not good at expressing her mood with expressions, may be trying to express her thoughts.

You're laughing...... This will not disappoint your smile! It's a strange laugh, though.

"Good! Let's do it together! ”

Perhaps the soul that gives the work is something so mysterious that it cannot be experienced or described. Maybe it's just a few words, maybe it's someone's story.

I might not be able to understand what I was talking to Sakurahaku, but that's probably it. I also learned how to give soul to my work, how to write a more vivid story, because someone said, "Let's do it together." "Because there are people who are happy with my story. Someone can understand my work, and that's enough......
