Start by Becoming a Mangaka

They said goodbye to both Ito and Yaeko and decided to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park since it was almost the time that they would meet each other.

"Why are you wearing those glasses?" Yuzuru asked.

"It's for camouflage, some people wouldn't notice that it was me with these glasses," Yuuki explained.

"Is it also made from magic?" Yuzuru asked.

"Something like that," Yuuki said.

"Let me try it!" Yuzuru said and tried to take his glasses.

"No," Yuuki didn't want trouble happening with his glasses to be taken off.

"Let me try it!" Yuzuru tried to take it by force but it was impossible to take it from him.

"Yuzuru, don't cause trouble," Shouko said.

"Yes...." Yuzuru sighed to her sister. She looked around and said, "Nee-chan, can you buy me an ice cream?"

"Eh?" Shouko was surprised and asked, "Ice cream?"

"Yeah, there is one over there," Yuzuru said.

"..." Shouko was a bit weird because of her request and nodded. She looked at him and asked, "Yuuki, do you want an ice cream too?"

Yuuki shook his head, "No, I'm okay."

"Then, I will go for a bit," Shouko said and went to buy ice cream.

Yuuki looked at Yuzuru and asked, "What are you planning?"

Yuzuru looked at him and asked, "Why are you not stopping her?"

"Stopping her?" Yuuki raised his eyebrow.

"Yes, don't you know that she has been bullied in her elementary school?" Yuzuru asked and said, "Do you want her to suffer?"

Yuuki looked at her and asked, "Then, why are you not stop her?"

"......"

Yuzuru couldn't answer him in response.

"That's right, that girl is very stubborn even though she didn't show it, it might be good since she will face her past, but it also a good chance for me to remember the face of someone who bullied her," Yuuki said.

"Waaa, that face is scary..." Yuzuru said while moving back.

Yuuki smiled and patted her head, "I'm joking, isn't it why that she invited me to go with her? You can think of me as her bodyguard." He looked at her and said, "We need to protect her."

Yuzuru wasn't sure, but she nodded in response, "Protect her."

"Yuzuru, here is the ice cream," Shouko came back to them while bringing two ice creams. She smiled and said, "I have brought another one since it is very hot." She looked at him and asked, "Do you want to try?"

"It's okay," Yuuki said.

"No, try it," Shouko said and tried to feed him.

Yuuki took the ice cream and fed it to her.

Shouko ate the ice cream unconsciously and looked at him and took a bite of the ice cream from the place where she had eaten it, 'Indirect kiss?!' She felt strange since both of them had done more than that together.

"It's good, but just eat it or I will feed it to you," Yuuki said.

Shouko blushed and nodded. She opened her mouth, "Ahhh..."

Yuuki smiled and thought this girl was really an angel, "Here you go."

Yuzuru who was by their side couldn't help but become annoyed, "Can you not flirt in front of me?"

Ishida looked at the mirror and sighed.

"How many times are you going to sigh?"

Ishida turned and saw a small figure with unique hair, "Nagatsuka."

"Oh, buddy, we're going to an amus.e.m.e.nt park, right? Then you should put on a happy smile now," Nagatsuka said.

"But..." Ishida sighed again when he thought that he would meet someone from his elementary school.

"Isn't it good? This is also your chance to be able to face your past," Nagatsuka said.

Ishida remembered the word that his Aniki had said to him. Both of them had never talked that much but he could see that his Aniki was shining right now. He was also working hard trying to become a hairdresser but suddenly he received an invitation to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park from Sahara.

"I have also wanted to talk with Ichijou-san, I have heard that he is coming, right? I'm not going to lie but I have seen his drama play at Fujiyama High School and his performance is amazing! I want to talk to him," Nagatsuka said. He wanted to become a movie director in the future and he thought that he should have some discussion with him since a theatre drama and movie weren't that different in terms of acting and story.

The only difference was in the stage and their audiences and in his opinion theatre drama had difficulty several times bigger since the audience watched your acting directly rather than in front of the screen.

Nagatsuka thought for a bit and patted his shoulder, "Give up about her, she has found a new love."

"......"

"What do you mean?!" Ishida frowned.

"There are a lot of beautiful girls in this world, you can search for other girls," Nagatasuka patted his shoulder several times and let out a bit of tear, "I know that it is hurt but it is just the beginning! We're young! Let's find it together, our beauty of youth!"

"...."

Ishida was speechless and wasn't sure how to respond to him.

"Shouya, you're going out, right? When you go back, can you buy me soy sauce?" His mother suddenly came to the bathroom.

"O - Oh.." Ishida nodded in response.

"Thank you for taking care of him, Nagatsuka-kun, I will give you a discount when you come to cut your hair," his mother said.

"Yes, mam, leave it to me! Ishida-kun is my best friend, after all," Nagatsuka said while patting his shoulder.

"...."

"Don't you need to go now? You'll be late for the appointment," his mother said.

Ishida and Nagatsuka looked at the clock and surprised, "THIS IS BAD!!!" They hurriedly went out together and ran toward the amus.e.m.e.nt park.
