Chapter 45: Before the Cultural Festival (part 2 of 2)

The light novels and peripherals for sale are sorted out, and the price cards made of cardboard and markers are put on.

Narumi Yu stood in front of the blackboard, holding the chalk and pondering, not knowing how to put pen to paper.

An ordinary blackboard is definitely enough for a second-level painting, but a mediocre painting, even if it is painted, is not much better than a black and clean blackboard.

Looking for help from Shiina?

I can't open my mouth, it's ...... in every sense Although according to the character of the other party, I will definitely agree.

"Let's draw this illustration."

Yayoi Akizao walked up to him with a copy of the library of "Nai River" and held up the illustrations in the book to him.

It's an illustration about Neko.

The black cat jumped on the roof of the shrine and watched the small village at the foot of the mountain bloom in spring, and the cherry blossoms were everywhere; The shrine is still dilapidated, and the roof lacks beams and tiles, so that sunlight can shine into the house through the gaps in the tiles.

In the story, the shrine grounds are overgrown with weeds and the house is covered with dust.

In the distance, it is spring, it is a new life, but at the feet of the black cat is twilight.

"Does President Yayoi think too highly of me?"

"It's easier to draw, it's not for you to reproduce it on the blackboard."

"......" He took the book from Yayoi Akizao's hand and thought about it carefully.

Actually, it works.

At least he has seen "Nai River", and now there are still templates to copy, which is better than starting from scratch without a clue.

Start with the most familiar black cat, write a note on the side of the [black cat], then part of the shrine roof at the feet of the black cat, and finally fill in the vista. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly.

[Painting Lv.2 (27/100)]

When I stopped drawing, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Narumi threw the remaining chalk tip into the chalk box under the blackboard and prepared to go home.

I found that I had forgotten my bag in the classroom.

"Anything else?"

He looked at Yayoi Akiza, who had already begun to sit in a chair and read, and asked.

The girl let go of her ponytail, her supple black hair fell behind her, and she turned back into the familiar literary girl.

"Who is Chisaka Kasugano?"

He didn't notice just now that the girl was reading the first volume of "Demon King Angel".

"Characters in the book."

The prototype is Imadegawa Chisaka, but there are definitely differences, so there is no problem answering this way.

"Oh."

"So what's the matter?"

"It's gone." Yayoi Akizao's attention was on the book, and while replying to Narumi Yu, he turned the page, "You can go." ”

……

Sunny day in mid-May, hot from noon to afternoon.

The boy, who had just come out of the Classics Department, took off his jacket over his shirt and put it on his arm.

I didn't eat at noon, and I worked for three hours in a hurry, and my mouth was a little dry.

Narumi stopped in front of the vending machine and picked up a casual can of a drink that he hadn't drunk.

Wow~~

The pull-tab pulls open and a cool soda pours into your mouth.

Cucumber-flavored soda.

Although it is a little strange, it is surprisingly not bad, and it can be included in the [Yayoi Autumn Morning Daily Soda List].

On the school premises, each class is also decorating the classrooms for cultural festivals.

When he walked into the classroom through the back door, four or five boys, including Murakazu Konda, were chatting around the podium.

"Have you heard of the recent White Mist Monsters?" The bespectacled boy on Omada's left led the conversation and said, "It is said that as long as there is a white fog, there will be accidents. ”

"I heard that there is a cultural festival performance in the first year of high school with the theme of the White Mist Monster."

A few people didn't notice Narumi Yu, who was packing his school bag, and continued to chat with great interest.

He wanted to pack up and leave, but he heard something familiar and decided to stay for a while.

"The accident in Meguro District half a month ago, after the incident, someone saw the white fog surrounding the body of the person concerned at the scene......"

“……”

"Speaking of which, the accident next to the Arakawa Ward Hall more than a month ago, didn't anyone also see the white fog?"

"That accident is the one that happened to Narumi-san, right? The timing is also right.,Natsume-sensei also said...... "Discussing people and things close to him, the boy couldn't help but lower his voice.。

"Narumi Sang is in the classroom right now, do you want to ask?" I accidentally saw a boy from Yuu Narumi proposing.
