"Chihara, you've changed," Divination said with a pained expression.

"That's right. It's been a long time since Chihori-Chan came to draw manga with me. You've changed, Chihori-Chan," Xing Murukue, who was also standing at the door with a pile of manga materials, said sadly.

"First of all, let's put this matter aside for now," Chiaki Chihara pushed up his glasses and looked at the two girls standing in front of his house.

"How do you know where my house is?

I don't remember bringing any of you to my house, right? "

"Well, well, don't worry too much about this kind of thing.

Problems that can be solved with divination aren't problems at all, "Divination put an arm around Chiaki Chihara's shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Come on, tell me, did you promise Akaji Jun to go to the library?

You're really something, aren't you? "

"What's going on in your head … Take off your shoes before coming in!!!"

After the two girls entered the room, Chiaki Chihara took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Mourning God at home. He then asked the two girls to come to his room.

"Take a seat, I'll go get some desserts."

"It's okay, it's okay, we're just here for fun, there's no need to go through so much trouble!" Kōmura Tsuki said embarrassedly.

"Little Yue, don't be so polite!

Since it's rare to come to Chihara's house, we should be generous and eat all the desserts in her house! "

"Little Ming, isn't this a little too …"

Looking at the two girls sitting in his room talking and laughing, Chiaki Chihara silently turned his head and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly … there was a hint of happiness in his heart.

"Here's some cocoa biscuits and fruits, and some tea," Chiaki Chihara placed the food on a square wooden plate and carefully placed it on the table.

"I didn't know you were coming so I didn't prepare anything … Also, Little Ming, you better be careful, if you cross the line, I'll throw you out."

"Hey hey, that's scary!"

"Speaking of which, is there no one in Chun Hyo's house?

It feels quite deserted. "Xing Cuyue turned her head slightly to look, and the ends of her hair moved along with it.

"Ah, I usually live alone, but I get help from some relatives. Sometimes, my cousins and uncles come to visit me, but I don't mind!"

"Eh?

Chun Hyo's parents don't live with you … "Kōmura Tsuki was halfway through her question and immediately shut her mouth after seeing Divination's face's terrified.

It Yue's,'s, I've been living's, and I've been divorced from my parents.

"We divorced a long time ago. My father would send me some living expenses every month. I don't know where my mother is."

Although the living expenses were nothing compared to the money she earned at the Government of the Hour, it was still money given to her by her father, and Kōmura Tsuki had saved it all in a bank card.

Compared to Hanakaion, her father had always been very indulgent towards her. After she rejected the request to move to Kanagawa, her father never mentioned it again, and even said that she could help no matter what. Every time it was her birthday, her father would send her a birthday present. Sometimes, it would be dolls that girls liked, or the latest game console that even Akaya Setsubara coveted. Her father was also very concerned about her grades, and would call her every month.

What a gentle and reserved man … Probably because he didn't take care of her when she was young, so he wanted to make up for his responsibility as a father.

I'll go visit him after some time.

Thinking of this, Kōmura Tsuki's eyes had a hint of gentleness.

"I'm sorry!!

I don't know about Chihara's family situation!

I'm really sorry for asking such a question! "Kōmura Tsuki apologized sadly.

"It's okay, I think it's good to be alone."

Kōmura Tsuki said casually as she curled her bangs with a curling iron.

"Speaking of which, although it's only the second year of middle school, have you guys thought about what kind of high school you want to go to?"

"High school … It feels so far away.

No matter what, it's good to go to the same high school as Kochiaki! "Divination said with a smile.

"Actually, I haven't thought about which high school I want to go to …" Kōmura Tsuki said with a smile.

"Then why did you suddenly bring up this topic!!"

"Just think of it as me changing the topic …"

"Don't say this kind of thing so matter-of-factly!!!!"

"If it's me, I want to go to Hope Peak."

After hearing Kōmura Tsuki's words, the two who were fooling around instantly quieted down, and looked at Tsuki Simura with an incredulous expression.

"Little Yue, did I hear wrongly just now?

Where did you say you wanted to go? "

"Hope Peak Private High School." Kōmura Tsuki said confidently.

Kōmura Tsuki dropped Divination and instantly appeared in front of Kōmura Tsuki.

"So it's Little Yue, but … although your grades are good, Hope Peak's tuition is very high …"

"The preparatory course's tuition is very high, but for the undergraduate course, you only need a few special conditions …"

"Special conditions?" Kōmura Tsuki and Divination looked at each other.

"It's … drawing …" Kōmura Tsuki's voice became softer and softer, until it was completely inaudible.

"If it's drawing, then Chihara can also go to Hope Peak, sigh. After all, your grades are about the same." Divination rubbed her head in confusion.

"No, I heard that Hope Peak is full of top students, I'll be under a lot of pressure."

"Sigh!

Why! "

Looking at the two noisy girls in front of her, Kōmura Tsuki covered her mouth and laughed, but there was a trace of loneliness on her face.

"Okay, okay, let's stop joking. Usually, I'm drawing manga at this time, so you guys should come and help."

Kōmura Tsuki tied her loose hair into a ball behind her head, and brushed her curly bangs aside.

"If someone comes later, please help open the door. I'm afraid that if I draw later, I won't know anything."

"Is it that scary …" Kōmura Tsuki swallowed her saliva and said softly.

"You don't know how Chun Hyo looks like when she draws manga, it's like she's a completely different person."

"I'll go draw the original draft later. Over there is the finished draft. You guys just have to help me black and white and put up the dots. The background is there, and a professional will come later."

Usually, Kōmura Tsuki would spend two hours drawing the original draft after finishing her homework. Kōmura Tsuki's hand speed was very fast, and the quality was also guaranteed. She usually used the weekends to draw the lines, and the manga was published bimonthly, so there was more than enough time.

As for the background, she would draw it herself when she had time, and if she didn't have time, she would hand it over to Brachyceps next door. Brachyceps' background was very, very good, and could be called the model of a background.

Also, the editor of Hakuizumi Club had recently given him a female manga artist. He was a little nervous these days, so Chiaki Harahara was planning to give him some of the background art. Sometimes, she would ask her swordsmen to help with the black and white lines. This way, the time for studying at night could be controlled.

Kōmura Tsuki sat on the workbench and picked up her pen. Her entire aura changed dramatically, and it seemed that even the surrounding atmosphere became heavy.

With the rustling of the pen on the paper, Kōmura Tsuki completely entered her zone, and her whole attention was focused on her drawing paper.

"Then let's start!" Divination winked at Kōmura Tsuki and said cheekily.

"Okay!" Tsuki Simura nodded vigorously.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. Divination went to open the door happily. A serious-looking man stood at the door and nodded at Divination.

"I'm Chiliko -sensei's assistant and fan, Umetaro Nozaki. I'm here to help Chiliko -sensei with her manga."

"Ah, okay, please come in." Divination gestured for him to come in.

After the three of them entered the room, Umetaro Nozaki quickly sat down at the table and carefully picked up the drawing on the table.

"This, is Chiliko -sensei's drawing!!!

It's the blooming of the Red Spider Lily!!!

I can't believe I can accept the background of my favorite manga!!

I'm so happy. "

"Once Chihara enters her drawing state, she won't listen to anything."

Kōmura Tsuki whispered, "You're in charge of drawing the background. This is Chihara's draft. You only need to be responsible for the fine lines."

"Okay!!!

Leave it to me, no problem! "

Umetaro Nozaki raised the pen that he brought with him with a sincere expression. He completely forgot that he wasn't good at drawing backgrounds and began to draw seriously.

"As expected, Nozaki-sensei is the same as Chun Hyo. They're both very serious when they draw manga." Divination whispered.

"Yes." Kōmura Tsuki smiled, but she also felt some admiration in her heart.

As expected, compared to her, Chun Hyo was actually more suitable to enter Hope's Peak.

But no matter what, she would still work hard to draw.

Because … drawing wasn't just her hobby, it was her life.

When it was about eight o 'clock in the evening, Chihara finally finished her drawing.

She slowly put down the pen, stood up and stretched her body. She felt refreshed.

"Drawing — — Done!!!

Minao-san, thank you for your hard work!!! "

"Actually, it's okay. I'm not that tired." Divination, who had finished her task long ago, shrugged and said.

"I can learn a lot from Chun Hyo drawing manga. Can I come here often in the future?" Kōmura Tsuki asked carefully.

"Of course, I welcome you at any time." Chihara nodded. When she looked at Umetaro Nozaki, she was stunned.

"Mengye sensei, you … why are you crying?"

Everyone looked over and saw that Umetaro Nozaki was looking at Chihara's draft, tears streaming down his face.

"It's really — — an amazing ending!!!

I'm going to cry!!

Although the two of them aren't together, it's unexpectedly heartwarming!

This feeling of hiding sugar in a knife isn't too great!! "

"As expected of Chiliko sensei!!

To be able to connect such feelings with the story!!

On top of that, her drawing is perfect!

She's practically a god-like existence! "

"You're praising her too much." Chihara tilted her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and handed over a tissue.

"Wipe your face. Later, stay here for dinner. My uncle should be preparing dinner for everyone."

"Uncle?"

Everyone suspiciously followed Chihara to the living room, only to find that a sumptuous dinner was already prepared on the table. However, there was no one around.

"My uncle should have gone out. He has the keys to the house." Chihara explained.

"You guys can eat together. Don't be shy."

"Then we won't be shy!!"

Everyone sat at the table and ate dinner together. They began to praise Chihara's uncle's cooking skills.

Candlestick Tachibana and Gokusen Kanazane, who were hiding in the dark, revealed doting smiles. However, when they turned to look at Umetaro Nozaki, their eyes darkened again.
