The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

The problem is that the other supporting character, the man named Fujimoto, has no impression at all.

"Well, Yuri-sensei and I met in junior high school. There should be no one with a similar position in my memory..." "That's it, I understand. This Fujimoto may be talking about Nozaki-kun. "It's impossible, it's too far-fetched." "Okashiba-kun, think about it seriously." "Huh, sorry, let's liven up the atmosphere." "Forget it, don't think about it. After all, it's just a comic, Yuri himself His character is also different from the one in the comics. It might just be fictional." "Yes, after all, that Yuri teacher is a genius among geniuses." After chatting for a while, several people turned their attention back to On comics. "After becoming the magazine's candidate, although they were not successfully published, the two also received a bonus of [-] yen from the magazine.

The two were very excited to get the money, and Yuri invited Fujimoto to go to the city with him.

Although Fujimoto thought he should save it, he couldn't resist Yuri, so they went to the city to play together after that.

They say they go there to have fun, but in fact they do very ordinary things.

We bought crepes together, went to the cinema to watch a movie, ate at McDonald's, sat and drank drinks and chatted, and before the end we went to a bookstore in the city to buy reference materials.

'Fortunately I got out of the room. ' 'Eh? ' Fujimoto said this on the train going back after a day of playing, which made Yuri a little confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

'I was originally afraid of going out to play like this today. I didn't go to school because I was too afraid of people, but I am really happy today. ' 'Originally I started drawing comics because I had nothing to do at home, but now I feel lucky that I have drawn them... Yuri, thank you for taking me out of the room. ' Fujimoto looked quite happy and thanked Yuri.

'Just give me [-] yen as a thank you. ' 'Eh? ! ' Facing Fujimoto's thanks, Yuri just glanced at it, and then said seriously.

Of course, that was just a joke.

Since then, the two have returned to their old days of painting every day.

But because they have reached a certain level, their short stories have been published in magazines one after another, and the money on hand has become looser.

So although they still paint, the two often travel to remote places to paint.

The seaside, the forest, the aquarium, Tokyo Tower, etc., and a series of places.

The only constant is that they carry a drawing board with them everywhere they go.

When I'm at the beach, I stand on the seaside and draw. When I'm in the forest, I draw cicada sketches under the shade of the trees. When I'm in the aquarium, I draw a school of fish wandering around.

Several more years passed after that.

'Shall we serialize it? ! ' 'The editor-in-chief wants you to give it a try after graduating from high school. After all, you have published seven short stories at the age of 17, which is a bit late. 'The editors responsible for the two hope that they will no longer only submit short stories as they are now, but hope that they can officially carry out long-form serialization.

Yuri was very happy about this news, because it was recognition from the editorial department.

But when he turned his head, he found that Fujimoto's expression was very downcast.

The other person's expression made Yuri vaguely aware of something.

So on the way after talking to the editor, it was not surprising that Yuri opened his mouth to Fujimoto, really not at all.

'Sorry, I... want to go to art university, so... so... I can't help you... serialize. ' Fujimoto spoke intermittently and looked very unsteady, but Yuri knew clearly that Fujimoto should have been sure before he spoke.

'Why, it's like this all of a sudden, hey~ It's good, isn't it? Fujimoto just used the background, it's the same if he leaves this to his assistant. ' Yuri said without caring, not even looking at Fujimoto's face behind him.

Because he knew very well what Fujimoto's face would look like now after being said like this.

So Yuri spoke again. Although it felt like he was just making a last ditch effort, he still wanted to try to save him.

'But, but, it doesn't make sense to go to the American University. There is no job in the art department. ' 'Uh, well, I know that...' 'You have to talk a lot to strangers. ' 'This...I will work hard. '

'If you stay with me, everything will be smooth sailing. ' Fujimoto was silent. After chatting for a few words, he could also hear Yuri's retention.

He was silent for a while, then lowered his head, and then raised his head again, his eyes becoming firm.

'I... want to try my best on my own without relying on Yuri. ' 'That's for sure!It's boring! ' Yuri finally couldn't maintain his normalcy and could not pretend that nothing happened, so he turned to look at Fujimoto.

'It won't be boring. ' 'It will definitely be boring. It's impossible for you to cope with college life alone. ' Yuri retorted again, his voice getting heavier and faster.

'Yes, yes, I will try my best to do it. ''Don't even think about it, you are so embarrassed that you can't even speak to the convenience store salesperson face to face! ' 'I will practice! ' 'No, you absolutely can't do it! ' 'But...' 'But what? ! ' '...' Fujimoto did not answer immediately, but Yuri saw it and saw the tears flowing from the other person's eyes. This made Yuri stunned and forgot his words for a moment.

'I want... to draw better. ’ And what Fujimoto said with a crying voice made him unable to speak.

So on that day, the combination of Yuri and Fujimoto ended.

Fujimoto went to art university, while Yuri made his official debut as a manga artist.

"Hmm..." "What's wrong, Nozaki-kun, your expression is so complicated." "No, I just think it's too easy for me to become a cartoonist. Maybe it's normal for Yuri-sensei to have such difficulty becoming a cartoonist. ." "No, no, no, Nozaki-kun, you must have published short stories for a year before serialization, and Yuri-sensei must have become a serial cartoonist directly after submitting your first work. Don't take what is in the comics as reality." "Ah. , It’s true...I’ll call and ask Kensang Yuri-sensei if he has ever submitted articles to other magazines before. Kensang should know some inside information." "Huh? In this case, can’t you just ask me directly? Well, I also have Yuri’s phone number.” “If you ask me this kind of question, I think you’d know something about it.”

Chapter 324 Slight deviation

In fact, each of the three people present knew Yuri's mobile phone number and email address.

But except for Sakura Chiyo, Nozaki Umetaro and Mikoto Mikoshiba didn't mention this at all.

Because they know that there are some things that can be asked, and some things that are not easy to ask, and it is even more difficult to ask as a friend.

Not to mention that Nozaki Umetaro respects Yuri very much and is basically unlikely to ask Yuri himself.

"Ah, the manga Yuri is serializing is Suzumiya Haruhi?" "In a sense, it is connected with reality." Turning to the next page of the manga, the person who appeared on the screen was already living in the city, facing Yuri keeps drawing on a tablet.

In spring, summer, autumn and winter, just like in the past, Yuri once again returned to the days of painting every day, but this time he went too far, and Fujimoto no longer existed in his life.

On the bookshelf nearby, a single volume of Yuri's manga was placed. It was Haruhi Suzumiya who was still being serialized just like in reality.

First the first book, then the second book, the third book... Although this entire paragraph does not directly describe time, anyone can deeply see the passage of time.

Then the day came, a seemingly normal day.

On that day, Yuri was drawing the original manga as usual, while news that was unbelievable came from the TV on the side.

This made him stop painting and turned to look at the TV with an incomprehensible expression.

'I repeat, at noon today, an incident occurred at the Art University in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, where a homeless man stabbed a student with an axe-shaped object.' 'Subsequently we received news that the Yamagata Prefectural Police had arrested the suspect. ' 'The condition of the victim in this case has not yet been determined. The Yamagata police are currently..." Yuri picked up the phone and dialed Fujimoto's number the moment after his brain sorted out what to say about the news.

Because the university reported on TV is the university where Fujimoto attended.

The victim's name was not mentioned directly in the news, but Yuri had a bad premonition, a very, very bad premonition.

Yuri called Fujimoto's number several times, but the other party did not answer.

As he was about to make one more call, his mother's number appeared on his phone.

The ominous premonition came true.

Yuri's phone slipped from his hand.

He recalled what he once said to Fujimoto.

'So, if we can serialize it, let's use super powerful drawings. ' 'But, I draw very slowly... It would be nice if I could go faster...' 'What's the matter? As the painting goes up, so does the speed. I'm going to continue to hone my painting skills. ' 'Then I will draw better, just like Yuri! ' 'Well... Fujimoto also has to watch my back and keep trying. ' The conversation at that time was still echoing in my ears, but Fujimoto had disappeared from this world. ” In subsequent news reports, Yuri learned that the murderer of this incident had killed 12 people and seriously injured 3 others, making it a very serious tragedy.

Fujimoto is just one of these digital powers.

The reason for the murderer's behavior is stated in his self-report: [Hearing the paintings decorated in the university insulting him] "Fujimoto is dead?!" "I don't remember such a vicious incident happening?" "So it is indeed a fiction. "But the sense of reality is too strong. It shouldn't be surprising even if there is such a thing." "So there is indeed a prototype, such as someone Yuri knows." "If If there is, it is definitely not from high school. There is no such person in our school, so it can only be from junior high school or elementary school..." "It should be from elementary school, right? The manga also says that Yuri met Fujimoto in elementary school." In fact, Several people are not sure whether Fujimoto has a prototype. After all, this is a plot in the comics.

The main reason is that Yuri himself appears in the comics. Although his personality is different, his face is still Yuri's, so people will speculate whether other characters also have prototypes.

However, even Nozaki Umetaro, who first met Yuri, only knew about the other party's junior high school days. He was completely blind before that, so he could only make guesses, but could not verify them.

After Fujimoto's death, Yuri paused Suzumiya Haruhi's updates and ran back to his hometown to attend Fujimoto's funeral.

The photo at the funeral was of Fujimoto, whom Yuri was unfamiliar with.

Wearing a uniform that Yuri had never seen before, he had a very gentle smile on his face.

Yuri, who had no intention of communicating with others, came to the room where Fujimoto once lived.

There were still piles of manga drafts he had seen back then, and it seemed that Fujimoto's family hadn't cleared them away yet.

'Blame me. ' Yuri picked up the comic magazine on the pile of comic drafts and dug out the four-frame comic he had drawn for the squatting competition at home. He felt an indescribable sadness.

'It's my fault that I... drew comics...' When looking at Fujimoto's portrait in the mourning hall, Yuri had no reaction and felt a very unrealistic feeling.

But at this time, I stood in the corridor outside Fujimoto's room and saw the four-frame comic he drew back then.

An indescribable grief surged from the bottom of his heart, making Yuri unable to stand still and slumped to the ground. "'Fujimoto is dead, huh? It's all my fault... If Fujimoto hadn't walked out of the room, he wouldn't have died." Yuri shed tears, an amount that surprised even him.

'Why?Why, why did I draw comics...it was useless even if I drew them. ' A sudden anger towards himself made Yuri tear up the comic paper from that year, tearing it into pieces and tearing it into pieces.

In the blink of an eye, the four frames full of memories turned into scraps of paper.

It's just that the anger was the loudest and deepest when I tore it apart first, but it didn't make too much of the content of the first frame of the comic missing.

And the first fragment that was torn off just slid straight into Fujimoto's room.

Just like it was back then.

'Wow...' And then, on the next page of the comic, on that day that changed everything.

Fujimoto noticed the comics floating in and made a surprised sound.

'Don't come out? ' Because the others were torn apart by Yuri, only one frame floated in with some graffiti villains shouting not to come out, which made Fujimoto a little confused.

[Ding Dong] The next moment, the doorbell outside Fujimoto’s house rang.

'Excuse me, I'm here to deliver your diploma. ' Accompanied by the sound of the doorbell, Yuri, who was in elementary school, walked in from the outside, just like before.

Only this time, Fujimoto, who was reminded by that comic, made no move.

He covered his mouth and waited silently for Yuri to leave.

Because he didn't hear any noise, Yuri didn't go in to check as he had done in the past. Shortly after putting down his diploma, he opened the door and left.

Chapter 325 Stories on parallel lines

"This is... a parallel world?" The sudden unfolding made Mikoto Okoshiba confused. He didn't quite understand why the note suddenly fell to the Fujimoto house in the past.

"No, it's too early to draw a conclusion now, keep reading." However, Nozaki Umetaro didn't think it would be that simple, and it was a bit too sudden to suddenly launch a parallel world story at this time.

It's just that Mikoto Mikoto's guess seems to be correct. The next comic does not tell about Fujimoto's funeral, but he continues not to go out.

Because he did not meet Yuri, in the following days, Fujimoto started his manga career alone as he did in the beginning.

Elementary school passed, middle school passed, and high school passed as well.

In the days when he didn't meet Yuri, Fujimoto perfected his painting skills alone.

But one thing is the same as Fujimoto before.

When it was time to go to college, Fujimoto chose the University of Fine Arts in Yamagata Prefecture as before.

There, Vine

Ben began to study painting like a normal person, studying hard and trying to improve his skills even more.

Then that day came, the news that was reported on TV: [At 1:10 on January 11, the student (Fujimoto) was sitting on the sofa on the second floor of the Western Painting Major Building of the Art Department and resting] [The student (Fujimoto) ) heard a sound like metal collision coming from the direction of the stairs. There were no other students near the sofa at this time] [At 17:11, the murderer invaded the building from the outside stairs and met a resting student (Fujimoto)] The murderer was A mentally disturbed man was holding a sharp tool he picked up in the internship building.

'Hey, I said you, you, you! 'The murderer holding a pickaxe looked very emotionally unstable, looking at Fujimoto's face full of anger'Eh?Eh? ' But Fujimoto couldn't figure out why the man he met for the first time was so angry.

'I said you, do you look down on me?ah?It’s been annoying since the beginning, right? ' [The murderer said that he had delusions of being victimized at the time and heard voices insulting him] 'Huh?Excuse me, eh?Eh? ' 'It's so noisy! ! ! ' Facing Fujimoto who didn't understand, the murderer raised the weapon in his hand and hit Fujimoto hard.

'What! Facing the mentally abnormal murderer, Fujimoto staggered and fell to the ground, but was not hit by the murder weapon in the opponent's hand.

'Ah, look!It's not mine! ?You were copying mine, right? !It really is you, right? ! ' 'Drink! ' Seeing the murderer raising the murder weapon in his hand, he was about to murder Fujimoto just like the other party.

Yuri, wearing a Soviet-style cosplay suit, suddenly emerged from the side and hit the murderer with a flying knight kick. "The force of this flying kick is quite strong, and it has a very strong sense of power.

And this flying kick also successfully stopped the murderer's movements, causing the murderer to fall to the ground and drop the murder weapon in his hand.

'Oh ah! ' 'It hurts so much! ' The effect of force is reciprocal. Yuri, who used the Knight Flying Kick to hit the murderer, also hit the ground forcefully. It hurt to look at it.

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ' But the key now is the dropped murder weapon.

The murderer who saw the dropped murder weapon shouted and tried to pick up what fell on the ground.

But that was a wrong decision, a very wrong decision.

When he reached for the murder weapon, Yuri rushed over, and when the other party focused on the ground, he dropped the murder weapon.

Charge up a punch!Hit the murderer head-on!Soon after, the police and doctors arrived, the murderer was taken away by the police, and Yuri was put on a stretcher.

"I was producing cosplay at a nearby exhibition. When I was wandering around, I heard that someone entered the university with a weapon~" Because he was a witness, when the stretcher was being delivered, others asked him why he came to help, and Yuri said truthfully, It's just that it's quite easy to say, just like going to a convenience store to buy a bottle of drink.

'I felt it was very dangerous, so I chased him and tried to kick him away, but I lost my footing and ended up with a broken bone. What a shame. 'Although his leg was broken, Yuri didn't look too sad. Instead, he pointed at his leg and joked to others.

'That...that, thank you very much, I want to formally thank you, um...can you give me your phone number? ' Although Fujimoto was not used to communicating with others, he got better after going to college and the other person was his savior, so he mustered up the courage to ask.

'Ah, okay, okay. ' Yuri didn't think there was anything strange and told the other party his number very lightly.

'Yuri... Teacher Yuri!Are you Teacher Yuri? ! ' 'teacher? ' After recording Yuri's phone number and noting his name, Fujimoto looked at Yuri, who was similar to himself, and said in surprise.

Yuri, on the other hand, was a little confused about the other party calling him teacher.

'When you were in elementary school, you drew four-frame cartoons for the school news, right? ' 'ah?Well, so I have painted before...' Because many years later, Yuri only remembered that he had indeed painted before after being reminded by Fujimoto.

'It's true... Well, I'm a fan of four-panel comics! ' Fujimoto seemed even happier, and he was quite excited to find that the person who rescued him turned out to be the comic book author he once liked.

'Ahaha, what a coincidence, thank you very much. ' Yuri was also surprised and replied with a smile, and then the medical staff said they were leaving.

'Excuse me!Why don't you draw comics anymore? ! ' At the end before being recommended to the ambulance, Fujimoto asked Yuri loudly inside, seemingly puzzled by his abandonment of comics in elementary school.

'I started painting again recently!When the series is finished, you can come over and be my assistant! ' After listening to Fujimoto's words, Yuri didn't know what he was thinking. He tried to support himself, raised his hand and made a scissor hand with his right hand, and said to Fujimoto with a smile.
