She likes this kind of serious and mature dress style, which makes people feel safe. This kind of woman is the kind of person who can be relied on.To put it simply, the woman in front of her is the type she likes.

After taking a few glances, Pingku and Xiang greeted Jiang Bai with curiosity and expectation: "Ah...you, hello. Are you my fan too?"

Jiang Bai was slightly taken aback, a little surprised at the girl in front of her suddenly talking, she thought this girl was a type of person who wouldn't take the initiative to speak, but that's fine,

"Ah, I saw you winning the award before, and I was very curious, so I want to read your work."

"Ah...that's it..."

Not a fan...Pingku Hexiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but the disappointment soon dissipated. After all, he just published his first manga, so where are his fans? Sure enough, he still has some wishful thinking.

Pingku and Xiang laughed at themselves in their hearts, then watched Jiang Bai take his comics, and then continued to ask: "I don't know what your name is?"

"Miyano Jiangbai." Jiang Bai smiled and responded.

"It's a nice name...do you want me to add some words on the title page?"

"Ah... this, no need, I want to read your comics first."

"Well, I hope you like it."

"Ah."

She seems to be a girl who is not very good at communication. Seeing Pingku and Xiang trying to find a way to chat with herself, Jiang Bai couldn't help but smile slightly, then pointed to an empty stool beside her, and asked: "Can I sit Are you here to read your comics?"

"Ah! No problem!"

"Thank you."

"Um……"

Sitting down, Jiang Bai glanced at Pingku and Xiang for the last time. The girl was looking at him, as if she was very curious about herself, but when she noticed her eyes, the girl immediately turned her head away, covered by a mask, Jiang Bai couldn't see The girl's expression made her quite curious.

This girl...is curious about herself, but why is she curious about herself?I don't know what attracts her, it can't be the face, right?

Jiang Bai knows that he is good-looking now, but he thinks that he is not high enough to be a human-shaped succubus who sees who sinks and who sees who is crazy. Otherwise, he will be eaten up by others when he walks on the road. , it should be some other aspect of myself...

Jiang Bai couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, but focused on the comics.

"My broken mariko..." Jiang Bai read the title. If it is translated, it should be my broken mariko. Mariko should be a person's name, Mariko.

In this way, the name means "my broken Mariko".

On the cover is a woman wearing a windbreaker with sad and deep eyes, smoking a cigarette and holding a box that does not know what it contains. The style of the cover is more oil painting, which Jiang Bai likes quite a lot.

With a good first impression, Jiang Bai opened the first page of this comic. At this moment, Jiang Bai still doesn't know that a journey exuding sadness is waiting for him...

"In the early morning of the 28th, a 26-year-old woman in Nakano District, Kyoto, fell from the apartment on the fourth floor where she lived, and nearby residents found her body..."

"Mariko Itogawa who passed away that day...is my best friend..."

Tomoyo Shiino, a female man with a hot personality and even a bit of a bad temper, smokes, drinks and swears, and has been full of bad habits since she was a student. She has almost no friends because of her perverse personality. The existence of best friends.

Mariko Ishikawa...

But on this day when she was eating soba noodles in the restaurant, the news of Mariko Itokawa's suicide suddenly appeared on the TV. She couldn't imagine that her best friend who met, laughed and chatted with her just last week would leave this world so suicidally, even though All the evidence shows that Mariko is really gone...

"Isn't it a false report? I don't answer the phone... I don't reply to the message..." Standing in his humble apartment with disheveled hair, Shiino, who has stepped into the society and gradually become a decent person, is not as capable as he was in a suit and tie at the beginning Neat and tidy, only two words left... embarrassing...

As if the motivation to keep fighting was gone, Shiino skipped work and returned to the apartment, lying in a mess on the floor...

The two of them met when they were in junior high school. At that time, Shiino had short hair, and she was sitting on the roof smoking a cigarette. Few people came to this place, but Shiino liked it very much, because no one would notice smoking here.

But that day, an uninvited guest came to the rooftop, it was a girl with a bruised face, crying like tears, that was the first time Shiino and Mariko met...

Although Shiino regards Mariko as a close friend, but more often, Shiino does not call Mariko a friend or best friend, but calls Mariko "that child".It's as if she is not a friend, but a junior who needs to be taken care of beside Shiino.

And when she was a child, Mariko was indeed following Shiino closely like a follower. At that time, Shiino didn't know why Mariko was always bruised, and she didn't know why Mariko always followed him. People around bad girls.

But she doesn't care much if she doesn't have any friends. If someone is playing with her, then there is no need to think too much. At least, she likes the girl who is like a bitch by her side, and she always helps her deal with other people's bullying.

Until one day, she invited Mariko to set off the fireworks she won by lottery, but that day... Mariko didn't come, and Shiino, who felt something was wrong, rode to Mariko's house by bicycle.

And that day, Shiino knew why Mariko was always bruised and why she was always crying like a tear...

Because her father... is a fucking scum!

That scumbag never does anything serious. He only knows to drink at home all day long. After drinking, he throws alcohol and beats his family members. , beat Mariko wantonly!

This was when Mariko was young, and when Mariko grew up...that scumbag actually...

TM's scum!

Let Mariko stay in that scum's house after death... Shiino can't agree!She had to do something for that kid, keep Mariko away from that disgusting scum!

……

ashes!

At that moment, Mariko seemed to understand what she needed to do, so she took out a knife from the house...she wanted...to take Mariko's ashes away from that scum!

And when she came to Mariko's house, she saw Mariko's remarried father, and Mariko's stepmother, who was a gentle woman, so Shiino couldn't help thinking, if Mariko met such a mother at that time, maybe, She wouldn't just leave this world.

However, in fact, Mariko's biological mother actually remarried once when Mariko was in high school... But, it was because of that scumbag's behavior that she forced Mariko's biological mother away...

When she saw that scum actually knelt in front of Mariko's ashes and knelt down in repentance, a surge of disgust and anger burst out of Shiino's mind. Just this scum... what face does he have to kneel in front of Mariko's ashes!

Shiino snatched Mariko's ashes and threatened the scum with a knife. She yelled: "When I was in high school! Rape my daughter! When I was in junior high school, I used her like a slave! When I was in elementary school, let her mother run away! You What kind of scum, even the condolences are hypocritical! Disgusting!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of the dissuasion of the two, Shiino jumped off the window sill. At the moment of jumping, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see Mariko smiling at her on top of her head...

Shiino took Mariko's ashes... and fled.

This is the content of the first chapter. Although the painting style is quite simple, even a bit sloppy, it can't be compared with Cai Hua's big touch that has been well-versed in painting for many years, but there is no doubt that in terms of character creation, plot rhythm and emotion, This short story by Pingku and Kazuka is much better than "Entering Summer" by Ayaka.

Just in the first chapter, Jiang Bai has already admitted the quality of "my broken mariko", this manga is indeed worthy of the best.

"It's a very good cartoon." Jiang Bai raised his head and praised Pingku and Xiang with a smile.

"Ah...thank you, that, as long as you like it..."

"Ah."

Looking at Pingku and Xiang's joyful eyes, Jiang Bai nodded, lowered his head and continued to read.

For now, this manga should be a story about the love between two women, and you can also buy an additional copy for Makoto, she should like this kind of work.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Bai continued to read the next chapter. Shiino, who took away the ashes of Mariko, wanted to take Mariko to do what she always wanted to do, a journey that no one would stop, a journey that belonged to two people ...

But what does she want to do?Where is she... going?Where does Mariko want to go... Where is it?

Although Shiino is holding Mariko at the moment, she can't answer Shiino at all. Shiino, who is ready to travel with her friends, stands at the intersection, but has no direction, where is she going...

"Xiaozhui... Xiaozhui, look!"

"!"

"Zhiqiu Haijiao! It's like my name! I really want to go!"

"!!!"

Shiino cried, laughed again, shouted the name of Mari Oka Cape, and rushed to the train station. She seemed to see Mariko, who was dressed in white, standing in front of the waves and smiling at her...

Along the way, Shiino held Mariko's urn, feeling as if Mariko was being held in her arms. She had a dream in the car, dreaming of the scene where Mariko was beaten by her father when she was a child, which made her feel very bad...

It also reminded her of another thing...

It was when she was in high school, somehow... That day Mariko stood in front of her and said solemnly: "If Xiaoshii has a boyfriend, I will die!"

"...No, Mariko, what happened? Although I never thought of having a boyfriend myself..."

"...not a day goes by that doesn't happen..."

Damn it, why did you think of such a thing... There are obviously other good things coming...

But I can't stop thinking about the way Mariko cut her wrist with a utility knife at that time...

"I won't forgive you... If you have someone you like, Xiaozhui... If you leave me because of someone you like, Xiaozhui, then I will die for you!"

Shiino didn't know why Mariko, who was always weak in her eyes, would say such things, and even wanted to cut her wrists in front of her, so she quickly stopped Mariko who committed suicide.And she also knew that just before that day, Mariko was raped by his scumbag father...

That night... Shiino was like breaking into Mariko's house with her own knife this time. She took a frying pan, and with crazy anger, she smashed it hard at Mariko's father who was sitting at home watching TV. Go down, and then leave that house with Mariko...

Since then, Shiino has kept Mariko in her own home, and never handed over Mariko to her scumbag father, until she entered the society, and the two lived separately and independently.

Shiino, who brought Mariko to Mari Hill, was very unlucky, and was robbed of her luggage by a motorcycle gangster. In the end, a beggar offered her a helping hand and gave her some travel expenses, but... Shiino finally chose to use the travel expenses to buy alcohol. worry.

She has always found Mariko very annoying, always saying some inexplicable things, and never giving hope to life, taking all the faults on herself, which makes people feel distressed and helpless.

What else to say... I'm already broken, as long as I see Xiaozhui's angry appearance because of worrying about myself, I feel happy... It doesn't matter, I can't get happiness, it's easier to think this way...

How can there be such a mournful person? Life is not only about bad things, there are always some good things... Didn't she say that?She is very glad to have met herself... Isn't there me! ?

But in the end, before saying hello to herself, she committed suicide without saying a word... What's the matter... This child, it's because I took the frying pan and snatched her away from her scumbag father... That's how she responded What I did! ?

Even die!Then tell yourself!I would also like to go with her!Why... leave me alone...

"I'm still here! I still have a lot to say to you! You just left me with peace of mind!? The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I won't spread your ashes! Believe it or not, I'll jump off here! I also want to let you taste the feeling of not being able to stop your friend from dying!"

Kneeling by the Cape of Marijiu, Shiino cried and shouted at Mariko's ashes, then jumped over the railing excitedly, ready to jump off the cape, but at this critical moment, the beggar who gave Shiino the travel expenses stopped her.

Just as the two were struggling, Shiino heard a familiar cry for help: "Help me!"

She saw that the bosozoku who had snatched her luggage before was chasing a little girl and running towards her. The girl was crying. At that moment, Shiino seemed to see that Mariko was crying and running towards her...

Instinctively, Shiino excitedly picked up Mariko's urn, rushed towards the bosozoku, and then smashed the urn on the man's head forcefully, causing the bosozoku to fall to the ground, and the urn was also broken.

The snow-white ashes just floated away, making it impossible to grasp and drift away with the wind, just like Shiino can never figure out Mariko's character...watching her drift away and fall...

"Mariko..."

The day Shiino took Mariko away from her scumbag father, Mariko was lying in her arms, although she was covered in bruises, she smiled peacefully...

"Mom said, I was born in the wrong place, it's really good..."

As she said that, Mariko shrank into Shiino's arms: "I want to be born by Xiaozhui... I will become Xiaozhui's child..."

Chapter 120 IX The Match of the Elementary School Hall

"I want to be born by Xiaozhui, I want to be Xiaozhui's child..."

Jiang Bai couldn't express what she felt when she saw this sentence, and only then did she realize that she was deceived by the Spring and Autumn style of the entire comic... This is not a comic about Lily's love, in fact, it is about a family tragedy. Instead, choose to find the story of a tragic girl who relies on outside the family.

The relationship between Shiino and Mariko cannot be summed up in pure friendship or love. The relationship between these two dependent girls includes the friendship cultivated since childhood, and the family relationship that Mariko relies on Shiino.

I want to be born by my friend, I want to be my friend's child...

This sentence sounds outrageous, but when Mariko put it in her mouth, it was impossible to refute it, because, in an environment where her family could not give her family affection, Shiino really gave her care comparable to maternal love.

After his mother ran away from home, he rescued himself from his father who beat him, and constantly gave himself the motivation to live in the messy life, and gave him love and care that his relatives could not give...

At this moment, when Jiang Bai re-felt the plot and emotion of the whole comic, and regarded Shiino as the mother of Mariko, he would find that there was no sense of disobedience. Shiino was like a mother who was constantly protecting the persecuted by life Mariko, but even so, it didn't stop Mariko's death in the end.

Tsk, it's easy to get sand in your eyes...

Jiang Bai rubbed his eyes unconsciously, and after reading the last point, although the idea behind is also good, the greatest memory of the deceased is to live hard, but what gave Jiang Bai the biggest sensation was what Mariko said in Shiino's arms That simple word.

This is a good comic, a good story... so good that Jiang Bai has the urge to make it into a movie...

"This cartoon is very good-looking." Jiang Bai praised Pingku and Xiang.

"Eh...ah, as long as you like it."

"Well, I want to buy another copy and give it to my friend."

"Oh, no problem." Pingku and Xiang immediately took another booklet and signed their names on the title page.

"Anything else you'd like to add?"

"Well... just write, "Miyano Ebaku gave it to Hoshino Makoto"."

"Oh... Miyano Ebaku... for... Hoshino Makoto... that's it! Thank you for your patronage!"

"Ah."

Jiang Bai took the comics with a smile, then looked at Pingku and Xiang who were still wearing masks, and asked curiously: "Can I have a look at your real face? I am curious about the person who can write such a story, What's it like."

Faced with this request, Pinku and Xiang scratched their heads, and replied with some embarrassment: "Um... this... Smith Marseille, sorry I can't... I don't want to show my face in public."

"Well, it's okay, I can understand...Actually, I'm a director, I'm very optimistic about your work, can you leave your contact information? I think, I have time to talk about the film adaptation in the future. "

Jiang Bai invited Pingku and Xiang, although Jiang Bai does not have any resources to make a movie now, but she still wants to grasp this work, because... this story is really too good, do not make a movie Come out, what a pity.

And Pingku Hexiang's eyes were also slightly startled, as if surprised that such a young Jiang Bai was actually the director, but in the end she handed her business card to Jiang Bai: "Well, there is my phone number and email address on it... Although it's a bit unbelievable, I don't think you should lie, Miss Jiang Bai."
