Narumi was silent, picked up the pencil and continued to draw the cat.

In this case, the best thing to do is to pretend that you don't see it.

Speaking of cats, in fact, his impression of cats is actually only the black cat that often attacks him on the road.

All the "cats" he painted from the beginning to the present are painted in imitation of the movements of black cats.

But even now, his seemingly unintelligent stupid cat has nothing to do with black cats.

If he can't even draw movements, don't expect him to be able to draw the demeanor of a cat.

[Painting +1]

Replace the drawing paper and redraw it.

[Painting +1]

Redraw.

Shiina watched quietly, a little afraid to speak because of shyness.

She also took out her pencil and drew correction lines next to Narumi's apparently discordant lines.

"Thank you."

"Hmmm......"

[Painting +1]

【……】

The bell rang for the end of class, and the time returned to before the class, followed by another art class.

Narumi Yu was already a little numb to draw lines on the drawing paper, and the cute kitten on the paper was many times stronger than the original snail shell.

[Painting +1]

[Painting Lv.2 (0/100)]

The system's ability was evident at the moment of skill upgrading, and the pencil in his hand suddenly lightened, and the tip of the pen swiped, visibly smoothing with the naked eye.

It was as if his right hand had suddenly been entered into muscle memory that didn't belong to him.

The movements of cats are not limited to landing on all fours, and various cat movements come to mind.

"Huh?"

Shiina Weiyang on the side was a little surprised.

Narumi Yu's sudden progress was too obvious.

Just like a novice who has just learned to sketch and can't even make arcs, in the blink of an eye, he can suddenly draw a straight line with his bare hands.

Without a certain amount of time to practice, no matter how you draw, the lines will be messy.

Because people who have not learned to draw, the hand holding the pen is usually not stable enough, and a line usually needs to be drawn and traced, connected and connected, otherwise it will float to all kinds of unexpected places and be uncontrolled.

Stabilizing the hand holding the pen is a basic drawing skill that takes a lot of time to practice, and it is something that Narumi does not need to think about at all, even if he is just interested in learning.

What Shiina has been teaching is just how to draw cats well.

What are the characteristics of cats, how to draw animals in this way, how to draw their limbs, how to draw their eyes......

"It's amazing......"

"I suddenly felt a lot smoother, and I seem to have found the feeling I had when I wrote."

In his previous life, Narumi Yu had been practicing calligraphy for exams and later work, so much so that in this life, his handwriting is much better than that of most high school students.

At least enough as an excuse to cover up cheating.

"Woo...... So, congratulations to Narumi San? Shiina Weiyang was surprised, and his tone was mixed with envy, "I practiced for more than a month to reach the level of Narumi San." ”

Yu Narumi skillfully draws a spirited kitten on the drawing paper.

The cat holds a bag of bread in its mouth, and the packaging is printed with a familiar bear pattern.

It's already three or four points similar to the black cat.

"It's time to go back, right?"

"Hmm...... But,"

But they didn't really know how to get back.

"Let's just follow what happened a year ago." He took the paper off the drawing board and crumpled it up.

Soon he ran into a problem - he wanted to try to draw the gourd cat in Shiina Miyo's album, but after having a second-level painting, he couldn't draw that kind of abstract line at all......

Yu Narumi imitates the drawing of one like Shiina Miyo, waiting for the art class bell to ring.

……

Bite~

The vision flashed.

When I came back to my senses,

"In the first class, let's draw an animal you like~" The art teacher stood on the podium and said for the fifth time, "If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher at any time~"

Narumi fell into deep thought.

If you take the entrance ceremony as a reference, the reason why it did not come out of the painting is not because of his imitation.

The entrance ceremony Shiina Weiyang also deliberately imitated the accident of falling down the stairs at that time.

“……”

The factor that determines whether or not to go out should be the meaning of the event, not the event itself.

Shiina fell while going upstairs and was taken to the health room, where they got to know each other.

And what about this time?

"Shiina-san, did you promise anything at the time? Or what did I promise? ”

He thought about the art class on the first day back to school, and when he got to his place, his drawing had already been drawn in advance by Shiina Miao.

"Hmm......"

Of course the girl remembers.

It's just that a lot of words are natural when you say them for the first time, and if you deliberately repeat them, you will become embarrassed.

"......" Shiina Weiyang blushed and took a deep breath, "Narumi San's paintings will be handed over to me in the future." ”

Because it was so inexplicable, Narumi Yu almost couldn't help but laugh.

"Then it's going to be a hassle for Shiina-san."

"Ah~!" The girl turned her head angrily, changed the position of the easel, and made a look of ignoring him.

Art class passed uneventfully.

The bell rings.

A hint of anticipation rose in Narumi's heart.

In the 50 minutes of a class at Mikagehama High School, he had already taken five art classes in a row, and four hours had passed outside the time.

Even a person who likes to paint can feel a little tired after painting for four hours in a row, not to mention that he obviously doesn't like painting very much.

The screen flickered.

The field of vision is clearer again.

What appeared in front of them was still not the ceiling of Shiina Miyo's bedroom.

"In the first class, let's draw an animal you like~ If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher at any time~" The art teacher said for the sixth time.

Shiina Weiyang was surprised at first, and then became a little lost,

"Still haven't gone out......"

Narumi Yu felt a little headache.

Why is it that the entrance ceremony allows the event to retrace the trajectory of the past and get out, even if there are many different places.

Not this time?

Was it because he suddenly learned to draw?

Does his state affect [Laplace's] calculations......?

“……”

Shiina lowered his head and drew a sketch of the art classroom on the drawing board, dotting the raindrops outside the classroom window.

The gaze shifted from the girl's painting to the window, and the sun was shining a little harshly.

Suddenly, the fog in his thoughts was also dispelled by the sunlight.

Narumi smiled.

He just said that what was important was the meaning of [the event], and as soon as he opened his mouth to talk to the other person, he forgot about it.

What's the point of retelling two lines for no reason?

What is promised, like whether the weather outside the classroom is cloudy or sunny, is only part of [the event].

The important thing is to commit to this act.

"Shiina-san," he began.

"Huh?"

"After I get out of the painting, can Shiina-san teach me to draw just like here?"

The girl stopped her pen, looked up and looked at Narumi Yu, and smiled at the corners of her mouth, "Of course you can...... If Narumi-san is willing, I will definitely help you. ”

As soon as the words fell.

It's like raindrops falling on bluestone in the sun.

As the world disappears silently into the distant point of view.
