Chapter 64 Ridiculous idea

In the afternoon after school.

Sakurai Itsuki and Hanase Shion put on their armbands and were walking towards the student council.

In the middle of the speech, Hane Shion made a tsundere speech that was as stereotypical as it could be.

"Oh, you really can't fit in with other people's small groups, so you asked Mr. Hase for a backdoor and escaped to the student council department to hide?"

Sakurai Itsuki ruthlessly exposed the underlying reasons behind Hanase Shion's behavior.

"Can you please stop forcing your reasons on me? I'm so annoyed. I really don't want to see you at all."

Hane Shion turned her head away with a look of disgust and took two steps away from Sakurai Itsuki.

"Really? Then why did you keep stealing glances at me in class today? Are you tired of it?"

Sakurai Itsuki asked bluntly.

Today, Hane Shion inexplicably kept stealing glances at him, even though she thought she could hide herself well by not turning her head.

But in fact, a child like her who has been well-behaved since childhood does not understand these little tricks at all.

Their eyes met several times, and she thought she hadn't been discovered.

That is, it was almost the end of the semester, and the teachers were in a good mood, otherwise she would probably be arrested again and embarrassed in front of everyone again.

"I've never seen someone like you who doesn't study and wastes his life, so I'm just curious. And, most of the time, I'm actually looking at the scenery outside the window."

After being repeatedly exposed by Sakurai Itsuki, Hanase Shion blushed and began to stutter.

She also knew that her reasons were too blunt to be any more blunt.

But she couldn't say it because she had the absurd idea that he might be Haruki Nagayama.

Although she immediately denied it after this thought came to her mind that day.

Just being able to read two high-quality comics at the same time while attending school is something only a monster can do.

But Sakurai Tree is still working on the club project. If it were him
Go to school and open three accounts at the same time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

But the strange thing is that her mind has told her many times that this is impossible, but today she still can't stop peeking at him.

I was thinking about whether I should be happy or sad if he was really Haruki Nagayama.

Logically speaking, it should be a good thing to have such a great and admired cartoonist around.

But, what if he really is...
Thinking of the arrogant remarks I made in front of him before, and the shameful chat records.

I just cried in front of him once and he kept talking about me over and over again. If he were Haruki Nagayama.

That's really fucked up.
"You're staring at me in a daze again. Am I really that handsome, Miss?"

Sakurai Itsuki's voice brought Hanase Shion, who was staring at him and lost in thought, back to reality.

"Hmph, narcissist, no wonder you like cartoonists like Haruki Nagayama," said Hanase Shion. "Did you know your favorite cartoonist is being targeted and insulted on Twitter? He's become a villain who's done all sorts of bad things!"

"Oh, what's the matter? I think with his personality, he might be secretly happy."

Of course, Sakurai Itsuki is not upset by these insults. Instead, he feels discouraged and hopes that everyone will increase their efforts.

As for those so-called "planting stakes", they are just a disguised way to help him increase his popularity.

No one would take things like "Haruki Nagayama stole parts from Kobe's helicopter" and "taught Sukuna how to space-slash" seriously, right?

"Tsk, you're a pervert indeed." Hanase Shion tutted her lips at that. "Do you think everyone is the same as you? But that guy really seems to enjoy being scolded. It's true that what kind of person you are, what kind of fans you get."

"Aren't you a fan of Haruki Nagayama?" asked Sakurai Itsuki.

"Huh? Of course not! I don't like that kind of guy."

"Then why do I see that your comics seem to imitate his style?" said Sakurai Itsuki.

In addition to the five winning comics, the competition website also released the 30 comics shortlisted for the final round of selection, and gave consolation prizes of 20,000 yen per page to all shortlisted comics.

Of course, Hanase Shion's comics are also included.

Of course, Sakurai Itsuki also took the time to take a look at it. As soon as he glanced at Hane Shion's comics, he was hit by the strong flavor of "Fist of Fire".

She obviously imitated the Flame Fist style of storyboard design and some of the drawing styles, but compared to the core of the story, it was far inferior.

How could a story written by a young lady with a simple mind be compared with that of a psychopath?

"That's just because we were doing a hand-lettering video of Flame Fist when we were drawing the manga, so I imitated a little bit."

Hane Shion's mouth is still as hard as ever.

"It's true that you only imitated a little, otherwise you wouldn't be ranked sixth." Sakurai Itsuki said bluntly.

"Hehe, what about yours? Aren't you also planning to debut?" Hanase Shion couldn't help but sneer at Sakurai Itsuki's sarcasm. "Didn't you also decide to serialize your work? What about yours?"

"I've already finished the first chapter. Serializing it feels so easy. Do you want to read it? Beg me."

"Who wants to read your crappy comics? You're so self-righteous!"

Hane Shion snorted again, then opened the door and walked into the meeting room of the student council volunteers, ending the topic.

The student union meeting didn't discuss much substantive stuff, and both of them listened absentmindedly throughout.

After the meeting, Hanase Shion went straight home.

Sakurai Itsuki returned to the classroom helplessly, waiting for someone to end the activity boredly.

Their class chose a project and decided to perform that old-fashioned play.

With her blonde hair, blue eyes and long legs, Sato Wakaba successfully played the role of Romeo.

That's right, Romeo.

For the girls in Tokyo, whose altitude is not very ideal, Sato Wakaba's height is too abrupt when she stands among them as Juliet.

Moreover, her carefree personality is totally different from the image of a reserved aristocratic lady.

But everyone felt that her beautiful mixed-race facial features should not be wasted.

So in the end he became Romeo.

As for Juliet, this is Hase Hatsuna, who has nothing to do with "Miss" in Sakurai Itsuki's mind.

As the class teacher, she was able to actually get involved in her students' drama and play the female lead. She was really thick-skinned enough.

But the students didn't have any objections. She was quite popular, looked pretty, and looked good in Western dresses.

But sometimes when I get sick, I really want to beat her up.

While Sakurai Itsuki was sitting in the corner watching them rehearse, a message suddenly came in on his cell phone.

Yuuki Tsukimeng: [I heard that you are also going to draw a comic. Our club is very interested in your comic. Can you show it to everyone? ]

Yuuki Tsukimeng: [Hey, you understand, right? ]

As soon as Sakurai Itsuki saw the message, he understood what had happened without having to think too much.

It must be that Hane Shion wanted to read his comics, but he was too embarrassed to ask him for it, so he had to go around and find Yuuki Tsukimeng for help.

Sakurai Itsuki raised his eyebrows, but still opened the file and uploaded the content of the first episode of "5 Centimeters per Second" that he had finished drawing in the Line group.

As expected, someone clicked download the next second after the upload was successful.

Yuuki Tsukimeng privately chatted with Sakurai Itsuki: [It wasn't me who played it, do you know who played it? ]

Sakurai Itsuki: [I'm really impressed by her. Is she really a young lady? ]

Hane Shion finally found a way to cover it up for a long time, but although it was not covered at all, her butt was exposed at that moment, which made people feel that she was stupid and a little cute.

Of course, Hane Shion didn't realize this yet, but was browsing Sakurai Itsuki's comics excitedly and nervously.

"The style is completely different. He can't be Haruki Nagayama. His skill level is just okay. A bit impressive, but not much."

Hane Shion breathed a sigh of relief, clearing her mind of suspicion.

But at this moment, Sakurai Itsuki was bored, so he opened the comic of that tsundere Hanase Shion again, and frowned slightly.

Why does it look more and more familiar the more I look at it?
This is probably because it was deliberately imitated from "Flame Fist".

But why do I always feel like I've seen it somewhere?
Come to think of it, it seems like someone has deliberately imitated the style of "Flame Fist" before?
