I Won't Be a Loser

"Miyamizu, are you interested in becoming a manga artist's assistant?"

High emotional intelligence: Interested in becoming a cartoonist assistant?

Low emotional intelligence: too much work, lack of a tool person.

"I used to... seem to have a little experience...."

I wanted to answer that I had no experience, but suddenly remembered that I had helped Erili with some things, so I couldn't help being speechless, looking at Nozaki Umetaro in front of me and the note he was pressing, the sage sighed.

"Didn't we just talk about something we wanted to do? How did it become, you invited me to be your assistant?"

"Invite an assistant to help complete the serialization task together, which is what I want to do now, how about it? Are you interested?"

Looking at Nozaki Umetaro in front of him, Kento looked at his face and slowly smiled.

"Yes, yes, but I also have a lot of things to deal with, so don't count on me too much."

"Well, I didn't count on you, Gongshui, but I can't find a suitable assistant for the time being. Try it first. If it is suitable, use it first. When you find a more suitable assistant in the future, you will not be able to find a suitable assistant. Need help."

Glancing at the other party's notes, Sage was helpless, and it was considered a deal, and at the same time, he was quite interested in the work of a serious manga artist like Nozaki Umetaro.

"You are really straightforward, but it's also good, it's a good thing that you didn't put all your hopes on me."

"Tonight, just come to my house and see if it's suitable. You should have nothing to do tonight, right?"

The sage thought about it carefully, even if he returned to the apartment today, he was still as usual, there should be nothing special, so he nodded.

"After school, let's go home together."

After making an appointment with the sage to go home together, Nozaki Umetaro also showed a rare smile, let go of his hand silently, and let the sage take away his notes.

"By the way, what's your pen name?"

Sage took the note away, and slowly turned his head to look at Nozaki Umetaro behind him.

"Sakiko Yumeno."

"It's a very feminine name."

"Because it's a girl manga."

Glancing back at the serious Nozaki Umetaro, he knew that what he said was a true sage. After watching for a while, under Nozaki Umetaro's serious expression, he repeated the word "true", smiled, and went to supplement his notes. up.

When it was time to leave school, and to say goodbye to everyone else, Sage came to Nozaki Umetaro, and after he had packed his things, he asked.

"Is everything packed?"

"Well, it's packed."

"So, go?"

"Ah."

Nozaki Umetaro, who talked less, walked in front, and Kento quietly followed him. The two left the school together. It was rare to see the two walking together, and Kazuka went home with her sister. I went up and asked.

But Kento didn't tell her that Umetaro was a girl cartoonist, but just covered it up a bit, saying that he was a guest at Umetaro's house.

Yihua was a little eager to move, wanting to be with her, but she still didn't let her come along for the sake of safety.

Ying Lili stood aside and watched the intimate interaction between Yihua and the sage with cold eyes, but she still glanced at Nozaki Umetaro. Like the sage, she knew the identity of Nozaki Umetaro, and her eyes fell on the sage again. Suddenly approaching Nozaki Umetaro was planning to do something.

On the way, Umetarou Nozaki also bought some ingredients. It happened that Kento felt that the ingredients in his refrigerator were almost empty. After looking at the fresh ingredients, he hesitated and decided to come back tomorrow.

"Because I live alone, I am responsible for three meals by myself."

Nozaki Umetaro, who was walking home, explained to the sage, and the sage nodded to express his understanding.

"Me too, but did you live alone before?"

"I used to be at home, but I didn't get permission from my family until I was in high school. In addition, because the manga has been serialized, I was allowed to live alone."

The season of cherry blossoms: 94. It seems to have stepped into a completely different world

Nozaki Umetaro's apartment is quite a distance from the place where the sage lives, but the general direction of going home is the same, except that his apartment is a little north of the sage's, so there is no need to worry about the long walk home night road.

"Please come in."

All the way to the door of the apartment, Nozaki Umetaro took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, entered the house first, and took the spare slippers for the guests to the wise man.

"Then, excuse me."

Looking at the spacious entrance and the long corridor, it is much more spacious than the sage's own apartment.

He took off his shoes, pointed the toe of the shoes in the direction of the door, and entered the house with Nozaki Umetaro in slippers. The living room was about one-third the size of the apartment where the sage lived, and there were tables and chairs. There are bookshelves full of dictionaries and books related to various paintings.

The sage, who didn't know much about painting, only recognized two common dictionaries and some famous books.

"It's a big room, and it looks very spacious. It's much larger than my apartment, and the view from the outside is also good. It's a nice apartment."

"I've seen a lot, but this apartment is the only one I like very much, so I chose to live here. Don't worry about work for now. Let's prepare dinner first."

"Have you agreed to stay with me by default and let me work for you for a long time?"

Nozaki Umetaro smiled. On his usual dull face, seeing a smile made people feel that there was something malicious about it.

"need my help?"

"Help me deal with the ingredients, take out the meat and vegetables, and deal with the potatoes and radishes a little bit."

I took the ingredients bought by Umetaro Nozaki out of the shopping bag, rinsed them carefully, and then processed the ingredients. The two people who are relatively good at cooking quickly worked together under the partnership. That is, dinner is ready.

The two people sitting in the living room sat opposite each other and ate the dinner they had just prepared together.

"This should be my first time having dinner with a boy my age."

"Don't you have a good relationship with Yoshii and Sakamoto? You seem to be together often on weekdays."

"The two of them and I only had lunch together, but no dinner. Because we live far away, we didn't stay until evening, and we will go home before dark."

"I see."

Umetaro Nozaki nodded and ate his dinner quietly without saying a word.

Looking at the young man sitting across from him, the sage couldn't help but choked up, and quietly used his share of dinner. No matter how carefully the two boys ate, the speed of eating would not be much slower, and it would be very fast. Just finished dinner.

Nozaki Umetaro cleaned up all the tableware by himself, washed it in the kitchen sink, and put it away. When he returned to the living room, the atmosphere suddenly became extraordinary.

"Then, the work is about to start, first help me to black out the marked places."

Picking up his comics from the desk beside him, he handed some of the completed ones to the sage, and pointed to the place marked with an 'x'.

"Is that all you need?"

Looking down at the uncolored manuscript, Sage looked at Umetaro Nozaki in front of him.

"Just paint it."

Nodding his head, he only needs to paint for the time being. As for the work like pasting the net, there is no need to worry, just finish the current work.

Looking down at the exquisite and gorgeous painting style in front of him, the sage just silently picked up the pen and started his own blackening work. He sat silently at the table, and the two fell into silence like this. He didn't speak, and in the silence, only the sound of the pen was ringing '唦唦'.

The character of the sage is that when he is concentrating on one thing, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to it. Even if Umetaro Nozaki stood up suddenly and walked to the bathroom, the sage did not raise his head and watch quietly. Looking at the manuscript paper in front of him, he painted black precisely like a machine.

When Nozaki Umetaro, who was sitting at the table, felt the soreness in his neck, and slowly raised his head, he found that the original manuscripts handed over to the wise man opposite him seemed to have almost been smeared.

"So fast?"

Nozaki Umetaro stretched out his hand, took the blacked-out manuscripts into his hand, and looked at them carefully.

The technique of blacking out is not so outstanding, but it has already reached the passing line, and it is done well, and the speed is so fast, that Umetaro Nozaki couldn't help but cast his gaze on the sage, tightly stared at him.

want to.

Want him to keep blacking himself out.

Feeling a chill, the sage stopped his movements, raised his head slowly, and met Nozaki Umetaro's fiery gaze.

"...What are you staring at me for?"

"Hey, Miyamizu, is there anything special on weekdays?"

"A date with a girlfriend?"

"......"

With a slight movement of his ears, Nozaki Umetaro looked at the sage in front of him, a little surprised.

"Girlfriend? Nakano, or Sawamura?"

"No, not at all, this is not the key, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that your blackening skills are quite good, are you interested in being my assistant?"

"...No, let's just say it first, I'm only here to help you with notes, don't expect me to stay here all the time to help you do this kind of thing."

"It's a pity."

Nozaki Umetaro felt a little regret after hearing this, slowly raised his head, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

"It's already ten o'clock."

"Well, it's been... huh?"

Nodding his head, the sage slowly raised his head, looked at the wall beside him, and looked at the hands of the clock above, it had already passed the eight o'clock that he expected in his heart, and even ten o'clock was almost 10:30 up.

Silently, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and saw the missed calls and unread messages on the screen slowly.

His voice has always been kept to the minimum level, and the other is only trembling.

When blacking, it’s not that I don’t feel a little bit, it’s just that my attention is on the matter of blacking, and I only think of the idea of ​​“painting this piece first” and “waiting to finish painting this picture” , under such severe obsessive-compulsive disorder that he directly forgot to answer the phone.

He clicked on the message casually, and replied to a text message that he was at a classmate's house and would go home soon. Sage stood up slowly, and looked at Nozaki Umetaro in front of him.

"family?"

"Well, it's getting late, and the blackening has basically been completed."
