Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"Well, I will give everything to you -"

At this point, the girl's teaching became more serious and passionate.

"Eyes are one of the most important parts to express the expressions and characteristics of a character. The quality of eye drawing directly affects the effect of the entire head. The structure of realistic eyes is very complex. When drawing the eyes of anime characters, it is necessary to understand the structure of the eyes. Make certain simplifications——"

"If you make the black eyes bigger, the character will appear more well-behaved, and if you make them smaller, the character will appear deeper and more mature. Drawing the highlights larger or smaller will also produce a similar effect. At the same time, the position of the pupils and highlights is to express the character's line of sight. key."

"Mochizuki-san, your character's eyes are too rigid! If you want to become a manga artist, this is not enough!"

"The highlights and pupils in the eyes are very important. Different positions, shapes, and sizes can create different effects. Whether it is cute and playful or charming and handsome, it can be reflected through appropriate highlights and pupil shapes. !”

"Some progress has been made, but it's still not enough! The eyeball is a sphere, so it must have a certain curvature when viewed from the side!"

"The last part! When drawing a character's facial features, you must first determine the position and orientation of the character's facial features. One face is 3/4 left side and the other is 3/4 right side. Draw the character's facial features carefully based on the structural diagram. Facial features, pay attention to the perspective changes of the facial features from these two angles——"

"Phew, very good...although it's still far from good, but it's already great..."

An hour and a half passed quickly.

After all the teaching was completed, Kasumi Takegami seemed to be burned out and collapsed weakly on the table.

"......"

Mochizuki waved his hand gently and looked at the orange-lit clock hands that had dropped to seven-ten, and his expression relaxed for a while.

The hearty comic exchange had come to an end, and the boy also put down his painting brush at this moment.

The evening wind blew, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.

The mute stars twinkled, and the town also had a quiet atmosphere.

Everything was so quiet and peaceful...until Mochizuki heard Kasumi Takegami lying on the table snorting slightly.

"...?!"

It is also at this moment.

The young man's mood revealed a hint of embarrassment.

It's over... Forgetting that Takegami-san was actually a little sleepy, Mochizuki, who thought Xiao Chengzi was just lying down on the table to rest for a while, looked at her sleeping soundly with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face.

Should I wake up Takegami-san... No, after all, she comes to me for training after finishing club activities. It would be a bit unkind to just drive her away——

But... just let her sleep like this?Isn't this right? If Xiao Chengzi doesn't go home all night, her parents and Teacher Sakuraba will definitely be worried, right?

"......"

In desperation, Mochizuki could only stand up and knocked on the door of Kurihara Saki's room next door.

When he had trouble finding his mother, the boy did not forget this.

And it was exactly when Kurihara Saki, with her messy silver-colored hair, came to Mochizuki's room in a wheelchair and saw her best friend sleeping on the table, the girl in the wheelchair had a momentary expression, Earth-shaking changes have taken place——

After hearing Mochizuki's serious explanation, Kurihara Saki nodded as if he didn't realize it:

"Oh...that's it. I almost forgot that you are practicing comics with Little Chengzi today."

"Can this be easily forgotten...?"

"I don't have a very good memory, and you know that."

Kurihara Saki drowsily patted his head, expressing some helplessness:

"So, do you want me to call Teacher Sakuraba and drive Xiao Chengzi home?"

"There is no other choice..."

Mochizuki shrugged helplessly. He didn't have Teacher Sakuraba's phone number on his list. He needed help from others to even call someone. It was really embarrassing——

"...You are so familiar with Sakuraba-sensei, and you have so many pockies taken away from you, why don't you save her phone number?"

Kurihara Saki complained like this, and without much pause, he picked up the new Sony mobile phone he had just replaced some time ago and dialed Teacher Sakuraba's number.

.......All in all, the lively day came to an end as Teacher Sakuraba drove up and picked up the sleeping Kasumi Takegami.

"Whoo~"

Stretching gently, watching Teacher Sakuraba's Toyota slowly disappear at the end of the road, Mochizuki's expression also showed quite calmness:

"I'm finally back... Next, it's my free time."

".......Any thing else?"

Kurihara Saki, who was originally a little unhappy that Mochizuki knocked on her door because of such a thing, said this expressionlessly:

"I'm still reading comics."

"Nothing."

Mochizuki held his chin:

"I'm going to practice shooting later - By the way, Kurihara, do you play CSGO? I've finally started soloing AK recently, can we play online together when I have time?"

"Thank you for the invitation, but I was so old last year."

"What you said is to dampen my fighting spirit."

"....Anyway, I'm tired of playing CS."

I don’t know if it was Mochizuki’s misunderstanding, but when Saki Kurihara mentioned the word “nurturing”, she seemed to emphasize it very strongly:

"If you want to play with me, practice your skills. I'm afraid of losing points."

"...Are you more aggressive than before?"

After all, he was a neighbor who often quarreled with Kurihara Saki. Mochizuki could more or less hear the subtle emotional changes in the plain tone of this wheelchair girl:

"Is everything okay? Is there anything unhappy about you?"

"No."

Kurihara Saki denied it. After a short silence, he slowly rocked the wheelchair back to his room:

"...If there's nothing else, I'll go back and read comics."

"Uh, okay."

After gently closing Kurihara Saki's door, Mochizuki's expression was a little complicated.

With such an expression...she is really unhappy, right?

But why is this? He doesn't seem to have done anything that would make her uncomfortable recently. Is it really because he knocked on the door and interrupted her reading comics that that's why she put on this unhappy expression?

........never mind.

After thinking carefully to no avail, the young man no longer obsessed with this matter——

He just patted his head, then went back to the room, and while the feeling in his hands was still there, he continued to prepare comics based on his own interests.

...

In Kurihara Saki's room.

Because the manga program just now was interrupted, and he had to help Mochizuki to call Teacher Sakuraba to pick up Xiao Chengzi, Kurihara Saki felt a little bit unhappy.

However... maybe it's because the jokes and pranks of comedians on TV are so fun. Kurihara Saki, who already has a very low point of laughter, almost burst out laughing under the TV show, feeling vaguely concerned in his heart. It also disappeared.

When the comedy show ended, Kurihara Saki wiped away the tears from laughter, turned off the TV, and rolled his wheelchair to the computer he still had turned on.

Clicking on Steam, looking at the csgo that was deleted a year ago... As if she thought of something in her heart, the girl's eyes changed.

The slender white fingers clicked the left button of the mouse, and the No. 1 shooting game that had long been dusted began to be downloaded again.

26. Kurihara’s mother, it’s time to start work

The layout of Sunset Cafe in Toyama Prefecture is different from other places: a large square-shaped counter on the street. Inside the cabinet are prepared coffee beans and fine instruments for making mellow hand-ground coffee at any time.After school in the evening, students at Momoyama Garden usually spend a small amount of money to warm up a cup of cappuccino, sit on their seats, drink the hot drink and rest; if they are willing to spend a little more money, they can buy a pair of puffs and cappuccino. Small cakes, but most high school students in small towns belong to short-sleeved gangs, and they are generally not so wealthy; only thugs in suits wearing ties will walk into the private room inside the store, serve coffee and desserts together, and sit and drink slowly.

Although it is located in a small town, this cafe has a romantic atmosphere and is very quiet, making it perfect for typing or working.So when Mochizuki wants to relax, he always brings his laptop here to sit, feel the atmosphere, and enjoy the decadence of capitalism and the romance of petty bourgeoisie.

.....Of course, although there is little difference between his financial resources and those of the thugs in suits, Mochizuki, who likes to save money and spends according to his ability even if he spends in a relaxed way, did not turn into a greasy middle-aged man and stay in a separate private room. He was stroking the fake Rolex on his wrist, showing a boring expression - he just ordered a cup of cheap cappuccino in a familiar way, and then stayed in a separate seat alone, with a notebook on the table, and started to look through it. Check out your recent fan trends and account management.

"Thank you."

After thanking the waiter for the cappuccino, Mochizuki, who already had a sweet tooth, took a sip of warm coffee, and then began to browse the Internet seriously.

Time passes very quickly. The comic "One Punch Man" driven by interest has been updated to the tenth chapter, and quite a few heroic characters have appeared. The protagonist Saitama has also taken advantage of the opportunity to accept a cool apprentice known as the devil's reformer, and continues to start a new chapter. Beat the villain with a punch and start a daily life that hides merit and fame.

After ten weeks of baptism, the number of readers of this hilarious and passionate comic, which is quite interesting and has an extremely abstract style, has increased rapidly, and the number of clicks has exceeded 20. It has become a popular comic ranked at the top of the small website——

(The fight storyboards are so awesome, and the outrageous painting style seems to be gradually getting better... Sure enough, the aesthetics were really outraged by Teacher All's strong temper? Now I actually feel that Teacher Saitama is so sweet Egghead actually has a pretty face.)

(It is simply a model of anti-superhero comics... With such a boring setting of "killing with one hit", you can draw such a lively, interesting and vigorous comic. The imagination is really amazing. The soul is completely burned!)

(A tribute to ordinary life, a slap to heroism. Fighting the world with a cold face and dead fish eyes, being invincible enough to KO your opponent with one punch is so boring. Even rare and passionate battles are just a dream... ...This is a truly interesting comic. Even the shitty style can't hide the talent. PS: The storyboard and tension of this work are absolutely top-notch. If you are interested in hero themes, you can read it. You will definitely not be disappointed.)

"........Good."

The readers who looked at the author of his comics backstage laughed at his style of painting, but still sincerely expressed that he would wait for the next chapter's message. The boy also took a sip of cappuccino, feeling quite at ease.

Are all comic readers such good people? I cried to death.

It is indeed a beautiful Two-dimensional. It is a good child of Asasi even if it is not related to abstraction.

...Of course, as if he remembered something sad, the boy's expression became a little heavy.

Thinking about it carefully, my original vest: the Slothfish account, which is responsible for filming cooking videos and making music, has not released new songs for a long time.

Although cooking videos are posted every day, the comment section of those things is filled with all kinds of weirdness, making people who watch it feel dizzy——

This is not good.

Mochizuki doesn't want his vest to be remembered because cooking is so funny rather than because the songs are nice.

When he clicked on the comment area of ​​the video, the boy's head suddenly started to hurt:

(??? Hohenheim, get out of my father’s body and stop manipulating his body to make alchemy in the kitchen??????)

(Sloth Fish, you are a nice person and your cooking is very funny, but I suggest you keep your hands to yourself and don’t stir up your barbecue base in the kitchen and put it into the semi-finished fried food. You are a shitty cook. Give it up now. I write songs.)

(? Where’s my new song?!??? I’m not done with you, sloth fish! Play my new song out????)

(Slothfish, where is your new song? Are you still thinking about your half-finished product for a meeting? Don’t let me smuggle you into your address, otherwise I’ll leave your headgear all over the place!)

"........"

Seeing that her cooking video showed a strong sense of madness as always, Mochizuki's hand holding the cappuccino trembled slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, it has been nearly two months since the last time I copied "She Lived" - according to the past frequency, it seems that it is almost time for me to update it.

thought here.

Mochizuki gently closed his YouTube account, and slowly had new ideas in his mind.

..... He already knew the song he would copy next.

And it is precisely because of this that after drinking all the coffee in the cup, I started typing on the laptop keyboard.

Lyrics emerged one after another, and the boy's eyes seemed to light up.

.....

The twilight was dim, the setting sun was like blood, and the setting sun between the peaks was like a gold-rimmed sunset, making the surroundings feel like a dream, so unreal.

The breeze blows, like a jade plate that plays with the colorful clouds and clouds, hitting the last ray of the setting sun on the ground, blending with the dark yellow city, the golden light is bright, swallowing the fertile sun.

At this moment, it is already six o'clock in the evening.

The young man walked out of the coffee shop alone, rode a small broken mountain bike, and staggered back to the residential building where he lived.

According to common sense, the boy should take the music score and lyrics he had written long ago, go home and record the a cappella version, and then send it to Kurihara's mother who lives next door, asking her to help arrange the music——

However... maybe it's because of some emotion.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and knocked on Kurihara's door.

".......coming."

There was such a clear female voice coming from the crack of the door, and the young man seemed to hear the wheel of the wheelchair turning gurglingly——

Without letting him wait long, Kurihara Saki gently opened the door. After seeing the person clearly, his expression was quite calm:

"Oh...it's you, what's the matter?"

"...I want to start work."

"That's weird, I thought you were going to completely switch careers as a cartoonist."
