Chapter 28
High school life is ordinary and common, and Kasugano Toru has always thought so.
He just needs to do his own thing well.
For him, the most important thing now is to draw the illustrations of”Love Metronome”. Although the second volume of the novel has not yet appeared, and he has not even seen the outline, this does not prevent him from starting his own work.
As a best-selling light novel, it is obviously not enough to rely on Sayuka alone. Not only does it require a large number of scenes to be used as a prelude to the description, but the character setting is not something that can be done casually.
But unfortunately, when Kasumigaoka Shiyu created the first volume, he did not know this arrogant girl. When collecting folk songs, the girl naturally would not bring Kasugano Toru.
So after school these days, Kasugano Toru has been surveying one place after another according to the list given by Kasumigaoka Shiyu, using his own brush and the new mobile phone that his sister just bought for him to record all these scenes, and then slowly study them after returning home.
How to say it, it is really not an easy job to measure a city with your legs.
Although there is the help of the train, the station is not everywhere, and the last kilometer still needs to be completed by legs.
Originally, I thought this job would be much easier than the job in the izakaya, but now it seems that Kasugano Toru feels that he is still naive.
As long as you want to complete a job seriously, it will never be easy. Maybe in the later stage, you will become more comfortable because of the improvement of proficiency, but in the early stage, you must pay more hard work and effort than ordinary people.
Fortunately, compared with those who have paid but have not gained anything, Kasugano Toru’s gains are still not small.
With his efforts, the illustration of Sayuka has been completed.
This time is different from the previous time in the family restaurant. In addition to Sayuka, the background he chose was a forest road full of cherry blossoms. At the end of the slope, there is a shy expression of a girl waiting to bloom, and her longing for the person she likes.
But this painting looks familiar to Kasugano Toru no matter how he looks at it.
It seems that he has seen it somewhere before.
Throwing out the complicated thoughts in his mind, Kasugano Toru began to color the illustration with the help of a digital tablet.
Or maybe it can be said that technology changes life.
Although he is used to using pen and paper and is familiar with every step of color mixing, the boy has to admit that with the help of technology, the originally heavy work has become extremely simple.
He doesn’t have to worry about which kind of pigment is put in too much or too little.
There is no need to repeatedly experiment to see if the mixed color is appropriate.
Just tap lightly with the stylus in your hand to select the corresponding color.
Even if the color is wrong, it doesn’t matter. Just readjust it. It’s not like before. As long as one step is wrong, the whole painting has to be started over again.
With the blessing of technology, Toru Kasugano’s work efficiency can be said to have been greatly improved. It took only four days to complete this painting. After importing the finished illustration into the computer and sending it to the mobile phone, Toru Kasugano sent it to Kasumigaoka Utaha through Line.
“Senior, because I can’t start the work of the second volume for the time being, I tried to review the scenes of the first volume. There should be some differences compared with the previous illustrators. If you think this style matches your novel, I will work in this direction in the next work.”After attaching this message, Kasugano Toru turned off the screen of his mobile phone with satisfaction.
Although this painting is not his best work, it is indeed one of the few works that can make him satisfied in recent years.
It is said that if there is no woman in your heart, you will be a god when you draw your sword, but for Kasugano Toru, without the pressure of life’s burdens, he can also devote himself to what he likes.
Things drawn with no distractions are definitely more comfortable than things drawn with a lot of thoughts.
Because the pictures in his pen are often the most intuitive reflection of his mood at the time.
No money, uncomfortable; money, happy. This should be everyone’s common idea, right?
Not long after, he waited for Kasumigaoka Utaha’s reply
“No problem, Kasugano-kun. This is the best Sayuka I have ever seen. Compared with your ex, you understand my novels better.”
The girl’s reply was concise and capable, but in just one sentence, she criticized the ex who had disappeared without a trace.
Don’t think that this sentence is not lethal.
Think about the sentence”I don’t understand people’s hearts”, which has bothered King Ai for many years.
But no matter what, Kasumigaoka Utaha is satisfied with this illustration, and she is looking forward to future cooperation.
“Thank you for the compliment, it’s mainly because your novel is well described.”
“Well, let’s stop this meaningless mutual flattery here.” Kasumigaoka Utaha is obviously not a person who likes to talk nonsense:”Do you have time tomorrow, Kasugano-kun? If possible, we can start working on the light novel. For some reasons, I don’t have much time to waste, so I can only trouble Kasugano-kun to work harder.”
Kasugano Toru scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and replied:”This… Senior, can it be changed to Sunday? I do have something to do tomorrow.”
The boy was also a little helpless. When they made the agreement in the reference room, because of Eriri, the two did not agree on a specific time, but just said it would be on the weekend.
But the problem is that work only takes one day, but there are two days on the weekend.
As early as two days ago, Eriri couldn’t wait to make an appointment with him. This Saturday, the boy will take her to the streets of Tokyo.
So at this moment, facing the invitation of Kasumigaoka Utaha, he can only say sorry.
It was just that this week was too busy, otherwise Kasugano Toru would have to ask himself, he was obviously planning to spend his life peacefully, why – in just one day, he was involved with two girls who could be called celebrities?
This is really too difficult…
But Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t care about anything. It was because the two of them didn’t agree on a time, and she was not the kind of person who made trouble for no reason.
Although it is easy to be venomous to others when you are in a bad mood, after seeing the Sayuka drawn by Kasugano Toru, the girl’s current mood is obviously not related to being in a bad mood.
“Ok, let’s do it on Sunday. I’ll send you my home address tomorrow night. I hope Kasugano-kun will arrive soon.”
“Go to Senior’s house?”Kasugano Toru was a little surprised. Isn’t this progressing too fast? Even if they become partners, normal people wouldn’t go to work at someone else’s house. If it really doesn’t work, can’t we find a family restaurant like we did that day?
“Well, don’t worry, Kasugano-kun. I have already moved out of my home and I am the only one living in the rented apartment.”
“???”Kasugano Toru thought, this is more worrying, okay?
Who knows what this female hooligan will do!
