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

Tsukawa Yu's expression returned to calmness, and he gently pushed back his good brother's phone:

"Hurry up and take it down, you've tasted enough."

"how come......."

Mochizuki's pupils were shaking. He never thought that things would turn out like this. He felt numb for a moment:

"......Teacher Dayou, why didn't you respond at all? Have you already passed away?"

"You just passed away!"

The son of a bicycle dealer crossed his hands on his chest and stabbed his good brother hard again:

"Your backhand is weak, your forehand is not precise, your strokes are loose, your responses are slow, none of them are decent, and you still want me to give you a gift? Have a sweet dream!"

"what......."

Mochizuki, who had never felt that his style of painting was so rubbish that people couldn't bear to look at him, lost all his strength, as if Ultraman had lost his light, and his face was ashen, and he slumped on the seat helplessly:

"I have been practicing diligently with Master Takegami for several months, but I still haven't met your requirements...?"

"Don't make trouble. You only have to learn from others for two hours. Even if you make rapid progress, it won't fundamentally change your incompetence in painting, right?"

Tsugawa Yu curled her lips and opened pixiv's homepage as if introducing her idol:

"So, let's take a look at Takegami-sensei's masterpiece - skip the wolf-eared boy and look at this rabbit-eared girl! What does it mean to be meaty but not obscene, astringent but not obvious, and the body proportions are plump but not lost? Cute, look at those simple drawings of yours, how dare you say that you are a disciple of Takegami-sensei? Don’t you think you can steal from Takegami-sensei?”

"...Well, actually Takegami-san doesn't admit that he drew these things on Station P in real life."

"what?"

After hearing these words, the expression of the bicycle dealer's son suddenly changed:

"She...doesn't admit that she drew two-dimensional marginal pictures?"

"deny."

"How could this happen... No way! If my brother doesn't steal some skills from his master, how will he draw defeat CG pictures for the female protagonists of re0?"

"No, this is not possible... Damn it, is Takegami-san unwilling to teach you because the relationship has not progressed further?"

"Looks like I'm going to use my killer move!"

As if becoming more and more superior, Yu Tsugawa, who was already in the upper caste of Momoyama-en and still had some gossip about Kurihara and Mochizuki's ambiguous relationship, instantly became the president of the Takegami Mochizuki Hobby Club. He quickly patted his chest and said:

"Ah Li, listen to me, take the initiative and confess to her in the future, instead of being shy - I will become your top wingman and help you get through the love dungeon. Don't forget your poor brother after that."

"...?"

Seeing Yu Tsugawa start to go crazy again inexplicably, Mochizuki rolled his eyes and said:

"Why are you talking about this? Didn't I say that I don't have time to open the romantic comedy copy?"

"Wrong! The love affair with Takegami-san is not about youthful love, but a conspiracy!"

Tsugawa Yu's expression was quite serious and his voice was quite clear:

"Think about it, if you establish a deeper relationship with President Takegami, President Takegami will definitely impart to you the knowledge of inner world painting without reservation, and pass on all the knowledge he has learned throughout his life to you - think about you in the future Open a vest to draw characters and paid illustrations for your own light novels. After accepting a full set of martial arts, you will definitely be able to boost the sales of your novels and become a well-deserved Se Se artist, the idol of thousands of teenagers! Isn’t it great to receive such an honor? Is it worth your excitement?”

"....Don't go crazy here."

Mochizuki frowned slightly:

"What a mess...isn't it just a seductive picture? If I practice for a while, I will definitely be able to draw a seductive feeling - if it doesn't work, just copy Takegami-san's masterpieces and learn from it, why would you bother me so much?" ?”

"...Hey, why are you like this-"

"Oh, the bike has been repaired."

Seeing that his blue enchantress had been repaired by the workers of the bicycle shop and looked brand new, Mochizuki no longer wanted to talk to his high-caste friend:

"If I have nothing to do, I'll just go for a walk. Teacher Dayou, can we talk about it later?"

"...Tsk, you bastard."

Watching Mochizuki familiarly take out a few Kitasato Shibasaburo and hand them to the employees of his bicycle shop, Tsugawa Yu also felt a little unhappy:

"I haven't finished speaking yet - tsk, we finally met once and now we're leaving? Are you in such a hurry?"

"......fine."

"Since it's okay, come take a walk with me!"

While talking, Yuya Tsugawa got on his little bicycle:

"Let's just talk about it as brothers... Really, we rarely see each other like this after high school, so we can't talk more about brothers?"

"Of course."

Seeing Tsugawa Yu's excitement, Mochizuki Riya held his chin and said:

"How about you come to Kurihara's house for a dinner later? I'll say hello to her in advance and prepare a meal for one more person——"

"Don't talk nonsense! I am now a member of the Takegami Mochizuki Sect and cannot change my camp easily."

"...Why are you so loyal to this stupid persona?"

The young man rolled his eyes at Teacher Dayou beside him, and then as if he remembered something, he raised his chin and thought like this:

"Oh, by the way, Takegami-san invited me to see an art exhibition in the afternoon. He said he wanted to nurture my artistic side, and he also said he could bring a few friends here... How about you come with me? "

"No."

Tsukawa Yu still made a big "X":

"Although I am your good brother, this is your time. If I go, I will not only delay you, but also become a clown."

"...I told you it's not a date. Do you really not understand human language?"

Mochizuki flicked his good brother's forehead:

"Don't get me wrong... Takegami-sensei has three tickets in her hand. She took the initiative and told me that it would be best to bring some friends with me. If you don't come with me, she will bring other people from the comic club." The commune member has gone—so, do you want me to go with a stranger?"

"I see!"

Now, Jinchuan Yu understood the situation of his good brother:

"Don't worry, Li, I will definitely be a good wingman and give you assists as hard as I can!"

"...Be normal."

Somewhat afraid that his live friend would make an operation that would make him unable to hold back, Mochizuki couldn't help but curl his lips:

"Just go there with me normally... Huh, it would be nice if you were here. I'm quite afraid that Takegami-sensei will complain about me having no friends, so I'm even thinking about calling Kurihara." I called her and pushed her to the art exhibition together."

"Don't do this."

Jinchuan Yu made an "×" sign:

"Plan the Shura Field route in the early stage? This will accelerate the collapse - promise me, you can wait until later to adjust such a high-end battle situation, okay?"

"...As expected, I can't talk to you on the same channel."

"That's right. After all, you are a new-age Buddha who can't even draw a beautiful picture——"

"To shut up."

Mochizuki's face was gloomy and her heart was ashen.

37. Let’s go listen to music together? 2/5

Mochizuki and Tsukawa, the son of a bicycle dealer, rode leisurely on the streets of the small town.

It was now nine o'clock in the morning, and the dawn sun was rising from the east. The singing of thrushes and the dim leaves falling in the wind, accompanied by the autumn mist that looked like clouds, revealed a lazy atmosphere.

There were only a few people on the street, probably because the little kids hadn't woken up yet, and there weren't any discordant screams or frolics coming from all directions.

A quiet environment is always suitable for relaxing. Looking at this quiet street, Mochizuki always feels a sense of tranquility——

Of course... these days are different.

Because there was a boy riding the bike with him, Mochizuki was more speechless than calm.

"...So, you really don't want to talk to me?"

Tsugawa Yuu, who followed Mochizuki, looked embarrassed, and his voice was somewhat uncomfortable:

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, boss - I will never laugh at your painting skills again! You can continue to learn from Mr. Takegami. When the time comes, don't forget your poor brother!"

"...Don't talk nonsense."

As if he was still dissatisfied with Yuri Tsugawa's comments about the ordinary pictures he had painstakingly drawn, the young man's voice was cold:

"Also, you were invited to the art exhibition by me. Don't talk nonsense when you see Takegami. Everyone will be embarrassed to death. What if Takegami-sensei hates me because of this and stops teaching me? More knowledge and that’s it.”

"...You are really eager to learn."

Tsugawa Yu took his hands off the bicycle handles, as if feeling the baptism of the wind, and his voice sounded quite serious:

"Okay, okay... don't worry, I will pay attention to my sense of propriety. After all, I go out often, and I will never lose my sense of distance and embarrass my brothers-"

"I mean, stop thinking about your wingman plan."

Mochizuki's defenses were a bit broken:

"When you see Takegami, just act like a normal person and don't ruin our simple teacher-student relationship."

"It turns out that Ali likes assists that are as natural as the air... I understand, leave it to my brother."

"......roll."

Realizing more and more that it was difficult for him to have a good conversation with this young boy who pretended to be confused, Mochizuki had no choice but to ride his bicycle and continue to move towards the art exhibition.

The scenery of the town remains the same, and the street shadows are as dull as before.

Although the economy of Toyama Prefecture is not considered developed in this world, this small place has still cultivated many superstars in the literary and art circles, embellishing the flowers of art that are blooming in Japan.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the local area pays great attention to the artistic cultivation of local people, actively organizes various literary and artistic activities, and encourages street singers to sing in the square, hoping to cultivate the next generation of Japanese literary and artistic superstars, so as to stimulate the backwaters of their hometown. general economy.

.....It's a pity that cities and towns can never retain talented people.

More and more dream chasers are heading to Tokyo, melting into the city that never sleeps, and never returning to their slowly withering hometowns. As a result, various Japanese towns including Toyama Prefecture are slowly withering away, with fewer and fewer residents. Inevitably it went into decline and was eventually forgotten...

Every time he rides a bicycle here, Mochizuki always feels a sense of emotion in his heart, and he feels from the bottom of his heart that after a while, Toyama County will be completely washed away by the times and turned into a wasteland, and from then on it will become nothing more than a wasteland. A lost city that exists in written records.

........If I grow older, graduate from high school, no longer be so afraid of communicating with people, and make up my mind to go further, will I also embark on a journey to Tokyo?

Mochizuki, who had already entered the second year of high school, couldn't help but start thinking about this issue.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this atmosphere that Mochizuki began to suppress his dissatisfaction with his friend and started chatting with him about the future.

"...Have you actually started talking about graduating from high school? Slash youths have so many things to worry about."

As always, Tsugawa Yu did not let the topic develop in a depressing and confusing direction:

"What are you thinking about so much? It's better to take the current path first - and you still have to worry about this? Whether it's the comic "One Punch Man" that is just a hobby, or the Slothfish account that specializes in music is very popular Isn't it? And the one I'm most looking forward to is "Life in a Different World from Zero"... Well, once that novel really gets past the eyes of the editors of Kadokawa Bunko, your future life will definitely take off. No!"

"...I'm not used to you suddenly praising me so much."

Mochizuki lifted up her bangs and let the autumn wind blow:

"But... Teacher Dayu, have you ever thought about the future?"

"Huh? My future? Maybe I will get into a makeshift university by relying on sports. I will take root in this small town in the next few years. Finally, I will have children and live here for the rest of my life."

"...What a practical idea."

Mochizuki couldn't help but chuckle twice:

"I thought you might be thinking about more flashy things... Didn't you expect that your thoughts about the future are so ordinary?"

"Haha, don't look at me like this, my desire to stay here is very strong."

Jinchuan Yu shrugged, and then looked at Fa Xiao beside him curiously:

"Is it a violation to ask me so many questions - I never know what Ah Li thinks about the future?"

"me......"

After hearing Tsugawa Yu's question, Mochizuki tilted his head slightly and stated calmly:

"Actually, I have the same idea as you...Although I may go to Tokyo, in the end, I think I will also return home."

"Tsk, tsk, you are indeed my brother, he thinks exactly the same!"

"...Isn't it the most comfortable state to live at home? Tokyo is not my home."
