Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Hiratsuka and Kyouko were sitting in the chair while waiting for the students to come to the school. Both of them were quite bored since they didn't do anything right now.

Kyouko looked at her and asked, "Hiratsuka, do you have a boyfriend?"

"W - what's wrong suddenly?" Hiratsuka blushed.

"Why are you blushing?" Kyouko felt that this woman was quite cute but still quite weird for someone who was almost in her 30's to blush. She looked at her and suddenly realized something, "You have a boyfriend?"

"N - no..." Hiratsuka shook her head.

Kyouko felt a bit disappointed, "Really?"

"I don't have a boyfriend but I have a fiance," Hiratsuka decided to tell her.

"What?!" Kyouko was surprised, and held her shoulders, "Who? Who is it? Tell me?!"

"Calm down! Calm down!" Hiratsuka felt regret telling her about this.

"Alright, but you must tell me," Kyouko said.

"I - It's Yuuki..." Hiratsuka wanted to finish her words but the woman beside her suddenly startled.

"WHAT?!" Kyouko was startled.

"Shhh!!!" Hiratsuka told her to be quiet.

"Really? Real? You're not lying?" Kyouko asked her.

Hiratsuka nodded with a blush.

"How?" Kyouko was surprised to hear that Hiratsuka had a fiance and her fiance was her own student.

"You're my friend, so I hope that you can keep this quiet," Hiratsuka said.

Kyouko nodded, "Good, I will keep it a secret."

"How about you? Do you have a boyfriend or fiance?" Hiratsuka asked.

Kyouko smiled and said, "I - I will marry soon."

"....."

Hiratsuka blinked her eyes several times and opened and closed her mouth for a long time since the news was very shocking for her.

"Alright, you don't need to be that surprised, it's not that strange for me to suddenly marry someone," Kyouko said.

Hiratsuka calmed herself since she would also marry soon.

"You still need to wait for him to graduate before you marry him," Kyouko said.

Hiratsuka nodded, "Yeah, still where did you meet your partner?"

"I met him in a marriage interview, both of us clicked together and we decided to get married," Kyouko said.

Hiratsuka nodded, "Then you should be careful."

"Be careful?" Kyouko felt confused.

"You know that Yuuki is a beast," Hiratsuka said.

"You say your own fiance is a beast?" Kyoko wanted to laugh.

"If he wins this marathon, there is a chance that Yuuki will ask you for a kiss," Hiratsuka said.

"You're not going to stop him? Aren't you jealous?" Kyouko asked.

Hiratsuka shook her head, "It's better that he has a lot of lovers since it showed that I'm not wrong choosing men since there are a lot of people who love him."

"...."

Kyouko felt that her logic was quite easy to understand,'Have a lot of lovers = Good candidate for a partner.' She rubbed her chin and felt it was quite deep.

"So?" Hiratsuka asked.

"So? What do you mean?" Kyouko asked.

"If he asked your kiss what would you do?" Hiratsuka asked.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that?" Kyouko smiled wickedly.

Hiratsuka felt weird looking at her.

The female students had started their marathon.

Their marathon distance was only half the distance of the male students. Even though they were female, their speed couldn't be underestimated, especially both Yukana and Ranko.

Yukana and Ranko were really fast since both of them had worked out every night with him.

"I didn't expect that we would have quite great stamina," Yukana sighed.

"That guy is also tossing us around, I guess it's normal that our stamina is also increasing," Ranko said.

"Yeah, but why are we always helpless against him!?" Yukana asked.

"That means that he has greater stamina than us," Ranko sighed.

"Can you let me join this conversation?" Uomi came toward them. Her forehead was full of sweat but she didn't stop running and followed them. She was very interested in their conversation.

"Oh, Uomi, do you know how he tossed us around...." Ranko started to tell her. She didn't really mind telling her since she was sure that this girl would join them soon or later.

Uomi listened carefully while nodding.

Yukari, who was by their side, couldn't help but blush while listening to their story. She looked at them and said, "Can we change the topic of our conversation?"

"Oh, Yukari-chan, are you shy?" Uomi teased.

Yukari only sighed while listening to their conversation.

Yuuki and Takeo had almost finished their races.

Yuuki also felt quite tired running 10 miles without a break and in a sprint.

Takeo was also very tired and also wanted to rest on the ground but he didn't give up.

Both of them had become attention along the way since they were running very fast on the street. They had also received a lot of support from everyone who saw them.

"Yuuki-senpai.... You're very strong..." Takeo said while stabilizing his breath.

"Yeah, you too," Yuuki said.

Takeo smiled, "I'm glad that I met you, Senpai."

"Let's have ramen after this," Yuuki said.

"Ramen? It sounds quite nice," Takeo said.

"Yeah, cold ramen, I'm sure it will be very delicious," Yuuki said and licked his lips.

"That's true," Takeo almost drooled and shook his head, "But there is only one winner between us."

"Yeah, the goal is 200 meters ahead, whoever the winner there is no hard feeling," Yuuki said.

"Yeah, no hard feeling, UWOOOO!!!!" Takeo put all of his energy into this last sprint.

Everyone in the school couldn't help but be attracted to two people who were almost coming to the finish line.

Hiratsuka and Kyouko were also very excited and felt the energy of the young people.

"OH, THERE IS BOTH YUUKI PARTICIPANT AND TAKEO PARTICIPANT!!"

"WHOEVER THE WINNER, THEY WILL GET THE 'KISS PASS'!!!"

They were looking at the battle at these two men with a nervous and excited expression.

"UWOOOOOO!!!"

They could hear the screams of two people. They could feel that their heart was beating very fast. They couldn't help but want to support them.

"TAKEO!!!"

"YUUKI!!!!"

Yuuki and Takeo didn't hear them since their focus was only on the finish line.

"25 METERS MORE!!!!" Kyouko shouted.

"10 METERS!!!" Hiratsuka shouted.

It was only for a moment but everyone in the school could see who was the winner.

Takeo and Yuuki past the finish line and both of them were very tired. They laid on the ground and breathed heavily. Their bodies were full of sweat but they were satisfied with this battle.

"Thank you, Senpai."

"Don't worry, Kouhai."

"UWOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The people in the school were screaming against them.

"YUUKI IS THE WINNER!!!"

Hiratsuka and Kyouko shouted at the same time.
