Teacher, I hate it

Chapter 123 The two people meet again

"Yinglili, there is someone looking for you outside." A student walked into the classroom and shouted to Yinglili who was sitting in his seat.

"I know." Ying Lili responded and stood up from the chair.

Then he turned around and left the table and walked towards the door.

"Is it you?" Eiriri frowned as she looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was standing in the class corridor and looked like she was not a student of the same class.

"It's me, are you surprised?" A habitual smile appeared on Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face. It's the kind of smile that seems very close, but not particularly close. It seems a bit formulaic, and it feels particularly needy. He said with a faint smile.

"It seems that we don't have anything to talk about." Eiri looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu and said doubtfully.

She and Kasumigaoka had no contact with each other except that day, the night that caused the strange talk on campus. It can be said that apart from the fact that they are both students of Sakura High School, they are really just strangers to each other. Man, she really understood why this guy who made the world strange and made the school rules incomprehensible came to find her now.

After all, before this, she had never believed that the so-called campus ghost stories and ghosts were real things!
"There was indeed no relationship between us before, but from now on, we have one." Kasumigaoka Shiyu walked up to Eiri and said calmly.

Eiri didn't say anything, just looked at Kasumigaoka and waited for her next words.

"This is a short story I wrote for the school's call for submissions. Now I only need a reliable illustration to help me draw the picture, especially the illustration of Bishamonten, and then I can submit it to the student union or even the principal for review. It has been reviewed, so I hope you can help me fill in the missing illustrations in the story. This is the purpose of me coming to you." Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't waste any time. She directly raised her hand and rolled it into a paper tube. The manuscript in hand was handed to Ying Lili.

"You want me to be your illustrator? Why?" Eiri did not immediately pick up Kasumigaoka's manuscript, but asked with a confused frown.

"It seems that I didn't find the wrong person." Kasumigaoka Shiyu laughed after hearing Yinglili's question.

The reason is also very simple, because what Yingli asked her was why she wanted her to be the illustrator of the story, not that she had never drawn illustrations and could not do it.

After all, there are some differences between illustrators and ordinary comics authors or painting enthusiasts. The former, that is, although the illustrator's job is still to draw, the illustrator's drawings need to conform to the story content of the work and fit the description of the work. , and satisfy the readers of the story's subconscious fantasy about the characters to the greatest extent. Only such illustrations can be regarded as qualified illustrations, and the illustrators are qualified illustrators.

On the contrary, he is just an ordinary painter with no painting ability and imagination.

As for the latter, although the comic author can also achieve the illustrator's adaptability to the work - after all, the comic itself can be regarded as a combination of illustrations, just a cartoon without continuity, so the comic author has to wait until he becomes famous. , it is not surprising to work part-time as an illustrator and help some light novel authors complete illustration works.

But the style of painting is still different after all - illustrations focus more on realism - expressing the textual content of the story itself and fitting the design of the story.Comics pursue exaggeration - expressing the tension of the characters to express the emotions of the work, so it is inevitable that there will be differences. This also leads to the fact that cartoonists may not be good illustrators, but good illustrators are definitely good comic assistants. Something that sounds interesting and the result.

And if this matter is brought to Yinglili, as a member of the art club, her painting skills may not be a problem, but can she serve as an illustrator and use the simplest and most direct way to make a work what she wants? How to express what you want to express is a matter of personal ability and experience.

In other words, not just any member of the art club can handle Kasumigaoka's commission.

"Of course I didn't find you because of impulse." After saying the incomprehensible words, Kasumigaoka Shiu explained the reason why she thought of letting Eri Riri be the illustrator of the short film she wrote temporarily: "I I have investigated it before coming here. Although you, Sawamura Spencer Eiri, are not the president of the art club, it does not mean that your painting skills are not good, but because you are not qualified enough. In other words, your If his painting skills are not second to none in the art club, he is one of the top members. He is also particularly good at painting two-dimensional things. His painting style is exquisite and delicate, which is very consistent with my requirements for an illustrator."

"Now, coupled with your performance at this time, I have reason to believe that you should have other hidden identities, such as cartoonist assistant, trainee cartoonist, Internet influencer, etc..." "Huh? Didn't guess right? Really? That's such a pity." Seeing that although Eiri's expression changed, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't show the panic she expected. She looked very disappointed again. It was a pity that she couldn't grasp Eiri's handle. Regretfully.

"But it doesn't matter, let's talk about the illustrations again. You have also seen the content of the announcement. In addition to the school's promotion investment, the school will not ask for any subsequent income after the story is published in the newspaper, so your illustrations will not be in vain. Painting, of course, since you are not famous, I won’t give you a high price, just 80.00% of the price of a single work by a new illustrator on the market.”

"After all, I am taking a certain risk by asking you to draw illustrations. If you refuse, then I will have to ask other members of the art club for help." Kasumigaoka Shiu said softly, as if sighing.

"..." Eirili was silent for a moment, then suddenly took action and snatched the manuscript from Kasumigaoka's hand.

"Okay, since you are not afraid that I will mess up your work, then I will accept your commission." Yinglili sneered: "I want to see where you got the confidence to think that the story you wrote will be certain." It can pass the review and be promoted.”

"Don't worry, I'm still very confident about this." Kasumigaoka Shiyu chuckled.

After all, she is a pure love-oriented light novel author who has successfully debuted!

Although the results are not exaggerated, it can be considered that it has basically established a firm foothold. It may not be clear about the hobbies and tendencies of readers in the market, but there is still no problem in grasping one or two.

Coupled with this and my proficient writing skills, if I can't pass the test of being a principal, I would be really sorry for my status as a light novel author.

"When do you want it?" Yinglili didn't ask her where she could be confident that her story would pass. She just asked about the matter itself: "If you rush it, I won't be able to draw it."

"If you are the fastest, when can you publish the picture?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked.

"Then it depends on how many pictures you need for your story."

"I have marked it in the manuscript. If I remember correctly, I may need about five pictures." Kasumigaoka Shiyu tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"For five pictures, plus the time for reading the manuscript, it will take ten days, no more than fifteen days at the latest." Ying Lili thought for a moment after hearing this and replied.

"Half a month? That's okay. Then I'll see the results in half a month." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said.

Anyway, I haven’t had a holiday for half a month, which is enough time to deal with the story.

"Then see you in half a month."

"By the way, this is my phone number. If you encounter something difficult to understand, you can call me and ask me." Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly seemed to remember something again and took out a mechanical pencil from his pocket and took it back. Yinglili accepted the manuscript, wrote a number on the blank space on the back of the manuscript, and handed it back.

"I see."
