Chapter 1: The Spirit Behind and the Maiden
When Tsukimi came out of the automatic glass sliding door of the office building, the street lights on the side of the street were already on. In November, the wind that was not biting, but it could already make people feel the winter breath hit her face, making her petite body can't help but shrink her body.
Hugged the file bag in his arms that contained the original comic manuscript that he had worked hard for nearly a month to draw.,As if this could warm up the body.,But the brown paper file bag won't warm Tsukimi's hands like a hand warmer after all.,The girl who deeply understands this is not very good and is even more depressed.。
"Sure enough, I'm not suitable for drawing manga at all......"
Recalling the editor's evaluation of the comic in his arms ten minutes ago, Tsukimi was somewhat deflated.
Do you really want to ask for help from that bastard ghost at home...... Such a thought appeared in the bottom of Yuemi's heart, but she was immediately thrown out by the girl again.
That's the only way! Definitely don't want her to help! If the comic you drew by yourself was seen by that guy, you would definitely die because of your shyness!
This is not the first time Yuemi has submitted.,In fact, before this,Yuemi has failed to submit three times.,Thinking that all his efforts in the past few months have been useless,Yuemi's heart suddenly gave birth to a wave of anger.,And driven by this anger.,Yuemi almost wanted to throw the original comic manuscript that was treated as a treasure into the trash can on the side of the road - stay up late every night.,Sacrifice your sleep time and all your entertainment time., It can be said that the comic drawn with the efforts of the girl has no value to match this effort, and it has not been recognized by the editor.
However, Yuemi still didn't throw away the document bag as garbage after all, she brushed off the dust on the document bag, lowered her head and sighed, and walked in the direction of the bus stop step by step.
In the bubble tea shop on the street, a faint sweet smell wafted into Yuemi's nose, and suddenly the stomach of the girl, who was trembling slightly from cold and hunger, protested loudly.
...... I really want to drink a cup of hot milk tea...... It would be even better if you added sweet red beans to it......
You can almost imagine the feeling of milk tea in the palm of your hand, which can be said to be a luxury hot hand, Yuemi is a little moved, but before her body follows her instinct to the milk tea shop, the girl gritted her teeth and forced herself to ignore the temptation of hot milk tea, away from the milk tea shop, standing in front of the nearby bus stop, and dragging heavy steps to jump up the moment the bus arrived at the station and opened the door.
The balance in the bank card is not much, and the blessing of dragging a certain ghost, the cost of food and utilities has skyrocketed this year, and it is better not to spend money indiscriminately when you can save. Thinking like this, Yuemi simply closed her eyes in order not to be tempted by the shops on the side of the road.
By the time she opened her eyes again, Tsukimi was the only passenger in the bus - she had fallen asleep unknowingly in the not-so-comfortable shaking of the bus.
Fortunately, the driver was a good person, and after waking Yuemi up, he teased a few words and urged Yuemi, who was flushed, to get out of the car.
Nothing is appropriate today......
Yuemi whispered sorrowfully in her heart, covering her hot face.
But fortunately, Yuemi's home is near the terminal of this bus, and you only need to walk for about ten minutes to return to the girl's warm nest...... That's weird! There is an even more troublesome trouble waiting for the girl at home.
So when I saw the scene in front of me - in the brightly lit living room, noisy advertising sounds came from the TV set with a lot of volume, on the coffee table that was still clean before going out, there was a bag of snacks that I was reluctant to eat for months, and on the sofa was a girl lying with an extremely incomprehensible smile at herself, Tsukimi felt that something in her mind was completely broken.
"Lin Lin, can I ask you to die once?"
Casually putting the file bag on the table on the side, Tsukimi approached the girl step by step with a dark face.
And the girl nodded her chin and smiled back: "But I'm already dead~"
"Then give me another death!"
Thinking that she was about to strangle her, she pounced, and Yuemi rode on Lin Lin's body, and pressed Lin Lin's neck as if she lost her mind: "Do you know that those snacks of mine are kept for celebration!" You actually ate it! ”
However, as if the person who was treated roughly by Yuemi was not himself, Lin Lin still smiled brightly, obviously his neck was pinched hard by Yuemi, but his voice was not affected at all: "I don't know~ And I didn't eat it, I left the last bite in every bag of snacks!" ”
"Isn't that even worse!"
"What's wrong! The last bite of the food is the most delicious! I've saved the most delicious parts for you! ”
"I don't need it!!."
Shouting loudly, negative emotions surged from Yuemi's heart like a blowout, and as soon as her nose was sore, tears couldn't stop sliding down her fair cheeks, leaving dark spots on the sofa.
Yuemi is very aggrieved, yes, she feels very aggrieved, she feels that she has been haunted by bad luck recently, and it doesn't matter if the comic submission is not published, this ghost who only knows how to make trouble for her always makes her angry - she is reluctant to drink even a cup of milk tea! This guy is always grabbing food with himself!
That's right, now the girl next to Yuemi, who claims to be named Lin Lin, seems to be quite normal, a ghost, a super unscientific kind of existence, suddenly appeared in front of Yuemi's eyes a year ago, and said to her: "Although I don't know what the situation is, I will be the spirit behind you from now on, please advise~"
You have to ask Yuemi if she believes it, of course she didn't believe it at the time, after all, as a person who received orthodox scientific education and grew up with a correct world view, how could she believe that there is such a thing as a spirit behind the world?
Then Lin Lin performed his signature skills as a ghost - floating and piercing through walls, and successfully scared Yuemi, who was not very brave, to faint.
In the next year, Yuemi knew three things.
First, the spirit behind this is genuine, and no one can see her except Yuemi, including the monks in the nearby temple.
Second, it seems that Lin Lin really has no malicious intent.
Third, if there were gods in the world, Lin Lin would definitely be sent by him to pit Yuemi!
To be reasonable, a spirit behind a person who will grab something to eat with you really can't afford to hurt!
Putting that aside for now, let's get back to business.
Just wanted to tease Yuemi, Lin Lin, who didn't expect Yuemi to cry at all, panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly floated up from the sofa, went around to the other side of Yuemi, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Eh, don't cry, don't cry, I can't see others crying the most, this time I admit my mistake, don't cry...... Yuemi is hungry, you see I made all the food to celebrate for you, I'll go to the kitchen and bring out the dishes now. ”
Saying that, Lin Lin was about to float into the kitchen, but was grabbed by Yuemi.
“...... I'm not hungry......"
Yuemi wiped her eyes vigorously with her sleeves, tears made a mess on her face, looking at her like this, Lin Lin, who was a little calmer, asked tentatively: "Submission, failed?" ”
Yuemi didn't speak, just nodded, although she didn't continue to cry, but the mood was low that could be seen with the naked eye.
Well, Lin Lin didn't know what to say for a while, she, that is, Lin Ling, claimed that Lin Lin had been staying in this house for a year, from the beginning when she appeared, she would be thrown by Yuemi with all kinds of things that were said to have turned on the light to now be able to sit together and eat and frolic with peace of mind, Lin Lin felt that if she had a favorability system, Yuemi's favorability towards her would definitely be above 70 now! The kind worth 100!
Lin Lin also knew about Yuemi's start to draw comics, and at the beginning, she wanted to use her experience as a former comic editor to guide Yuemi, but before she could say a few words, she was driven away by Yuemi, saying that she would not show her comics to Lin Lin.
Okay, if you don't need an opinion, you don't need it, Lin Lin knows that Yuemi's painting is very good, in her opinion, as long as the plot is not so sparse and the storyboard is not too chaotic, there should not be much problem for Yuemi to be a cartoonist.
Well, at most, it's a failure two or three times~ Young people always take it for granted, and they have to learn some lessons from their failures...... And then this failure is three times in a row.
Of course, at this point, Lin Lin once again asked to help give her some advice-something else was still secondary, Lin Lin was worried that Yuemi would not be hit. But Yuemi still didn't get in as much oil and salt as she did at the beginning, and swore to Lin Lin that her original manuscript this time would definitely be used.
"With the lessons learned from the previous few times, my manuscript will definitely not be a problem this time!"
Yes, the girl has come to this point, can Lin Lin still not believe her?
As a result, Yuemi's submission failed again......
In short, she felt that she should speak up first to comfort her, and by the way, she would take the opportunity to brush up some favorability.
However, before Lin Lin opened his mouth to comfort, Yuemi had already made a decision, and gritted his teeth in an indescribable tone: "There is not much money in the bank card, if the next submission is not enough, I will go to Yuan to make money and draw comics!" “
Although she knew that Yuemi should be talking angrily, Lin Lin still felt speechless for a while, and then Yuemi's next words suddenly made her not calm.
"Then wait until I have the money! I'm going to have to find someone to overtake you! “
”...... What a ghost! “
"Aren't you a ghost!"
