The next door neighbor is a sick girl [Comprehensive]

On the last day before the spring break, Airi Asakawa did not leave early like her classmates, but stayed in the art classroom to discuss and revise the draft of her short manga with Mr. Yada.

What she draws is a short story about a cat and the excrement shoveler, and it describes a three-flowered little female cat she raised in elementary school.Although it is only a black and white draft at present, the warm main tone of the story can still be seen from the simple storyboard, because these are the real experiences of Asakawa Airi when she was a child. The cuteness of the year.

Yada Reyo was very surprised when she saw the highly completed draft of Asakawa Airi. Although the other party had discussed the storyline and script of the competition with him at first, when she saw the draft of Asakawa Airi, she really found her Even the drafts are drawn so carefully and professionally.

Compared with other participating students, even Miko Kagawa, whom he had the most high hopes for, Airi Asakawa was the one who approached him most actively and with the most humble and sincere attitude.At first, he thought it was because Asakawa Airi was a little nervous about participating in such an important competition for the first time, so the stupid bird flew first, but now it seems that Asakawa Airi's professional level is not like that of a student who draws manga for the first time.

And what moved him the most was the tension of her storyboard and the rendering of the layout. When I first saw the script, I thought it was a very ordinary and bland story, which could be described as a plot with a bad outline. The happiness and happiness of the little cats together, this short sixteen-page story seems to contain countless sincere feelings that move the readers.

This is probably the emotion Asakawa Airi put into painting, so just a draft can move people's hearts.

Yata Reo's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"It's really great that the draft has such a high degree of completion. With such talent and talent, if the final draft is completed with a high degree of completion, this short manga by Asakawa might become a dark horse and win an award! It's just such a good story , Unfortunately, it is black and white..."

Faced with Yada-sensei's unsparing praise, Asakawa Airi shy with embarrassment.

Although she had won awards in her previous life, since she didn't win the gold award at that time, it showed that her story still had a lot of shortcomings, and under the inadvertent words of Teacher Yada, she was a little eager to challenge the color comics that she had never challenged in her previous life. .

Black and white comics mostly use lines to express, which can well reflect the details and painting skills, but Asakawa Airi wants to depict the characters and stories in a more vivid way, perhaps it is really as Mr. Yada said with warm colors. The emotions in comics are more able to catch the reader's attention.

If you can achieve the details and tension of black and white comic lines, and make reasonable use of the changes in temperature and temperature of colors, the comics will have a strong expressive force and artistic vitality.

Asakawa Airi believes that she will be able to go one step further than in her previous life, and of course the difficulty will be doubled.

So throughout the spring break, she had to work harder and harder.

Therefore, after deciding to change the black-and-white manga to a color manga for the competition, Asakawa Airi, under the guidance of Yada Reo, carefully detailed the storyline and storyboards, and when the final version of the draft was confirmed one by one , It has been more than an hour since school.

The torrential rain was overwhelming, accompanied by deafening thunder and terrifying lightning, and Asakawa Airi, who was fooled by the sunny weather in the morning, stopped at the door of the teaching building.

On the last day with no club activities, most of the students in the school left cleanly after school, including Shigeo Kageyama who went to work early and Ritsu Kageyama who had no student union activities.

Asakawa Airi couldn't find a classmate who could borrow an umbrella for a while, and her phone ran out of battery sadly!What's even more painful is that she is introverted when facing strangers. Even if one or two classmates leave the school occasionally, because she doesn't know each other, she can only stand alone at the door of the teaching building and wait for the rainstorm to stop sooner.

Unexpectedly, I waited and waited, and 15 minutes passed. Although the torrential rain gradually turned into moderate rain, it still didn't mean to stop.

It's really unlucky--

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Asakawa Airi sighed softly.She took a step forward and decided to leave the school in the gradually decreasing moderate rain.

Anyway, the school is only a 15-minute walk away from home, and it only takes 10 minutes to run faster. If the school uniform gets wet, it will get wet.

Just as Asakawa Airi took a step, a clean red umbrella suddenly stretched out from behind, covering her from the rain—like a knight, a hero appeared to save her from the wind and rain.

Asakawa Airi looked along the red umbrella, and saw a pair of beautiful and slender fingers. The owner of the fingers had white hair that spread out like flames. Seeing her, a pair of green eyes slightly curved.

"Asakawa-san, if you don't mind, let's go home together with an umbrella."

The magnetically familiar voice fell on my ears, and it was as gentle and caring as ever.The corners of the crescent-like eyes are curved, revealing the white glutinous rice teeth, and he looks like a innocent and carefree child when he smiles.

"Komaeda...kun?"

Asakawa Airi was stunned for a long time before realizing that the boy who took the initiative to hold an umbrella for her was actually the neighbor of Hope Kitchen, whom she wished she could have any contact with.

Although she has adapted to the campus life with Komaeda Nagito now, but for some reason, when he is around, she always feels a little nervous unconsciously.Although the two are in the front and back tables and neighbors, since the last argument, Asakawa Airi unilaterally blocked him, and the two have never been alone again.

And Komaeda Nagito seems to have taken a fancy to Kagawa Miko's painting talent. Recently, the two have gotten closer. When she participated in the activities of the art club, she could see him, an unrelated person, sitting together almost every time. Drawing in the art classroom.

So now, looking at Komaeda Nagito who suddenly appeared in front of her, Asakawa Airi did not directly answer whether to go home together, but asked with some hesitation: "It's very late now...why haven't you left yet?" School?"

Seeing Asakawa Airi's joyful expression recede in an instant, and the bright face of "Why is it you" but pretending not to care, Komaeda-kun pretended not to see it, and said aggrieved and pitifully: "I was drawn to clean the classroom, I thought I was the last one left, but Asakawa-san didn’t come home so late.”

Asakawa Airi expressed complete doubts that someone as lucky as him would be chosen to clean the classroom.In the game, he deliberately drew himself and put a knife under the table!Could it be that he is already messing around in the classroom...? !

"Asakawa-san, don't show such a strange expression, I sometimes have unlucky moments."

Seeing Asakawa Airi looking at him, the strange eyes were like the vigilance and suspicion when we first met, and the expression on his face obviously didn't believe what he said, the corners of Komaeda Nagito's raised mouth collapsed instantly, lightly He stroked his forehead lightly.

After he sighed, he drooped his shoulders dejectedly, and smiled wryly, as if he was talking to himself: "Sure enough, a scumbag like me is not qualified to be as talented as Asakawa-san Let's go home together... The last time I went back together shamelessly, I already made Asakawa-san upset, and I even dreamed of sharing the same umbrella with Asakawa-san..."

The whispered self-deprecating words were like a gust of wind, and the raindrops fell on Asakawa Airi's ears. When Asakawa Airi recovered, the other party had neatly stuffed the umbrella into her hand. He waved to her friendly and apologetically.

"Because of some of my words last time, Asakawa-san was a little unhappy. This umbrella is my apology to Asakawa-san. As a boy, you can't let girls get wet..."

The handle of the umbrella in her hand was burning hot, and Airi Asakawa looked at Nagito Komaeda waving at her and walked into the sea of ​​rain with a careless smile.

The bean-sized raindrops fell on his head and face, and his white hair, which was swaying like cotton candy, fell down instantly, and the hair on his forehead was wet and pressed against his thin cheeks, without any nostalgia for his back She obviously did it naturally and freely, but she was slender and pitiful in the sea of ​​rain. She felt that the temperature was scorching hot. She almost forgot that the other party was the person she had been most wary of all along, and subconsciously stepped forward to follow. .

She walked quickly to Komaeda Nagito's side, held his sleeve with one hand to stop him from moving forward, and stretched out her hand to hold an umbrella for him.

She suddenly discovered that this guy was in a junior high school where boys developed late, when a group of boys were only 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters, he already had a pair of enviable long legs, a full height of 1.7 meters, and he would grow to 1.8 meters in high school. And she is only 1.5 meters eight!

Although she will grow taller in the future, but now in front of Nagito Komaeda, no matter how hard she tries to hold the umbrella high, the umbrella will just hit his head.

Wait, why did she hold an umbrella for him? !

When she realized that the two were holding the same umbrella, Airi Asakawa let go of Komaeda Nagito's sleeve, and pursed her lips in annoyance.

Under her actions, Komaeda Nagito stopped her pace, and her blue water eyes met her gaze shiningly, which made her feel hot on her cheeks. Kindness, I wish I could throw away the hot potato in my hand.

"Anyway, we are on the same road, let's go back together." Airi Asakawa explained her strange behavior to herself.

She knew in her heart Komaeda Nagito's enthusiasm for hope, and what he said last time was not intentional, it was the idea he had been chasing and longing for all along.On the contrary, she was too excited, so she didn't have any position to ask Komaeda Nagito to apologize to herself.

She just doesn't want to owe favors, especially to Chef Hope.

Although she was not happy to see Asakawa Airi, her lower lip was slightly pursed as if she was struggling with something, but she raised her hand high to hold an umbrella for herself, Komaeda Nagito's light blue pupils curved beautifully , took the umbrella in Asakawa Airi's hand in a leisurely manner, and hooked the corner of his mouth indiscriminately.

"Extremely happy."

Although Asakawa Airi really hates what Komaeda Nagito does in the game, but I have to say that Mrs. Ogata's voice is really nice.When Komaeda Nagito's warm voice blew in her ears, she felt that her ears were going to be pregnant!

Ahhh, I was almost tempted!

Asakawa Airi moved a step to the side in some surprise, creating a small distance from Komaeda Nagito.
