Daily life in Zongman: There's something wrong with their eyes

After all, we will live under the same roof from now on.

"Yes, Mashiro's drawing is amazing."

Shirakawa-shiki smiled, thinking about how Mashiro was a world-class talented painter.

Hearing this, Shoko became even more curious and acted cutely.

"Really? Then Onii-chan, I want to see it too."

"Of course, then Mashiro let's go."

Shirakawa Shiki nodded slightly and pinched his sister's pink little face.

Shiina Mashiro nodded her head and moved her long hair that covered her eyes.

Then she walked towards her bedroom on her smooth feet.

The three of them walked into Mashiro's room together. At this time, the room didn't look too messy.

It's nothing more than that Nanami Aoyama comes over every morning to help Mashiro clean up.

Mashiro's eyes remained unchanged as he walked towards his computer.

"Here, Shi, this is my painting."

Shiina Mashiro took her work to Shirakawa Shikaku as if to take credit for it.

At the same time, a clear hint of expectation flashed across those beautiful golden eyes.

"I see. Let me take a look first. Mashiro, wait."

Shirakawa Shiki took the painting casually, then sat on the tatami and began to look at it slowly.

Shouko stayed close to him all the way, her eyes quickly scanning the painting.

Noticing the exquisiteness of the painting style, it was like the beautiful young boy or girl protagonist, with her mouth slightly open, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Mashiro-nee, you draw so well."

"Also, I always feel that the paintings are so lifelike, the characters are so lifelike, so great!!"

Hearing Shoko's undisguised praise, Shiina Mashiro's fair face couldn't help but smile.

If what Shoko praised were the works she had previously submitted for the competition.

Well, she might be used to hearing it and won't think anything of it.

But what Shoko praised were her comics, and Mashiro really felt incomparable happiness when it came to her favorite comics.

"Really, Shoko? Shoko, you speak very well."

"Yes, Mashiro-nee."

Shoko glanced at Shirakawa-shi and smiled cutely.

"Onii-chan, you think so too, right?"

"Shoko, you're right. After all, Mashiro's painting skills are indeed excellent."

Shirakawa Shiki nodded and couldn't help but admire it.

"If we judge by the exquisiteness of the painting style, there are few people in the world who can surpass Mashiro."

"But comics are not just about the artistry, they're more about the plot."

When Shoko heard this, she frowned, thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"Hmm...it seems like what Onii-chan said is right. That's the truth."

"Of course it's right. Although the painting skills also play a role, the plot..."

Having said that, Shirakawa glanced at Shiina Mashiro who was standing beside him.

Seeing that she was still calm, he continued in a gentle voice.

"But what Mashiro lacks is precisely the plot aspect."

He didn't choose to deliberately please Mashiro, but chose to point out the problem directly.

Shirakawa Shiki believed that Mashiro didn't want to hear words that were deliberately used to please her, as there was no need for that.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mashiro's small hands, which were naturally hanging at her sides, slowly clenched up.

She was too familiar with Baichuanshi's words.

Her manga editor, Ayano Iida, told her the same thing when she submitted her work to the British magazine.

At this moment, I heard Shirakawa-shi's almost identical words again.

This made Mashiro's eyes tremble violently, and he felt extremely discouraged.

It wasn't that she was going to give up, she just felt very confused.

I clearly know the problem with the painting, but I can't find any solution. I can only try my best through my own guesses and materials.

Is Chapter 246 about that kind of awkward thing?

"Shiki, do you think so too?"

"Am I really not suitable for drawing comics?"

Shiina Mashiro lowered her head, no emotion could be heard in her words, and her expression at the moment could not be seen.

However, Shirakawa Shiki obviously noticed her, and gradually tightened his hands and clenched his fists.

He couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, and shook his head and said lightly.

"I don't think you're unsuitable for drawing comics, Mashiro."

"I'd say the only thing you're lacking is a storyline."

Shiina Mashiro suddenly raised her eyes and met Shirakawa Shiki's gentle and bright eyes. She did not see any perfunctory look in them.

In the past, I had always been calm no matter what happened, but now my mood could not help but fluctuate a little.

Before I knew it, my mood, which had been quite low, improved.

This warm gaze that seemed to melt her made Mashiro unconsciously lower her head again, and for the first time she chose to avoid Shirakawa Shiki's gaze.

"What did Shiki mean?"

Shirakawa Shiki didn't notice anything unusual about Mashiro and didn't think about this girl at all. He was unusually shy at this moment.

At this time, his eyes fell on the comic again, and he pointed at the comic and spoke.

"It's literally a problem with the plot."

"However, I think Mashiro shouldn't have any problems with this right now."

Hearing this, Shiina Mashiro raised her little head again in confusion, looking a little bewildered.

"Shiki means, have I made progress?"

"Yes, Mashiro can think so."

Having said that, Shirakawa glanced quickly at Shoko before speaking in a somewhat euphemistic manner.

"After collecting materials, Mashiro should have more or less learned some knowledge about this, right?"

Looking at him blinking mischievously, Shiina Mashiro nodded as if she understood, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Yeah, Shiki is right."

She thought of the other person, and how he cooperated with her in collecting materials every night. She still felt quite excited when she thought about it now.

Shoko, who was kneeling beside them, tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.

"Material? What is that?"

"Onii-chan, what are you and Mashiro-nee talking about?"

"Nothing much, just a normal comic strip."

After casually dismissing the extremely curious little loli, Shirakawa Shiki suddenly asked softly.

"Mashiro, how long have you been drawing these comics?"

"It looks like it's been a while, hasn't it?"

Shiina Mashiro didn't know why he asked this, but she still answered with an innocent look on her face.

"Three months, Shiki."

"If I'm guessing correctly, this isn't the first comic you've drawn, right?"

"Shiki is right, this is the third time."

Shiina Mashiro nodded slightly in surprise, with obvious surprise showing on her calm face.

"How did Shiki know that?"

"From the plot of your comics."

Shirakawa Shiki pondered for a while, and finally asked.

"So, Mashiro, are you interested in drawing other types of manga?"

"For example, something about another world?"

"Another world theme? What's that?"

Shiina Mashiro was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning behind Shirakawa's words for a while.

Even though Mashiro likes comics, he also submits his own works to the Neon area.

But in fact, Mashiro's knowledge of ACG is only superficial, or he has never even heard of it.

It is normal to have doubts because of this.

A lovely smile suddenly bloomed on Shoko's rosy cheeks.

Seeing that Shiina Mashiro seemed interested, he simply explained with an excited expression.

"It's about reincarnation, or fighting monsters and encountering people in a fantasy world."

"Mashiro-nee, these games are super fun."

"I just don't know if the comics are interesting. I haven't read them yet."

After hearing this explanation, Shiina Mashiro's face became even more confused.

She looked at Shirakawa-shi with a confused look on her face, which seemed to have an elf-like beauty, and became more and more confused.

Looking at Mashiro's little expression, the girl's charming almond-shaped eyes blinked ignorantly.

This really made Shirakawa Shiki unable to hold back and he wanted to take action against this innocence as soon as possible.

After struggling for a while, Shirakawa took a deep breath and barely suppressed his evil thoughts.

He waved his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a faint smile.

"If I get a chance, Mashiro, I'll show you."

"As for now, you must first finish your current work. After all, it would be a shame to throw it away."

More importantly, this is the result of the hard work that Mashiro has put in over the years of drawing comics.

Therefore, it is impossible to temporarily abandon this work and paint other ones.

"Shoko, let's not talk about this today. If you have time in the future, you can take Mashiro-nee to find out."

"Okay."

Shoko smiled sweetly, flipping through Mashiro's comics one by one with her little hands.

Shirakawa Shiki looked at Shiina Mashiro and spoke softly as they walked.

"Mashiro, although I don't know much about comics, I can still give my opinion."

Shiina Mashiro had no doubts and nodded slightly following the other party.

"Well, you teach me."

The two walked all the way to the computer, and Shirakawa Shiki pulled out a chair for the girl and gestured.

"Of course no problem, but Mashiro, please sit down first."

Hearing this, Shiina Mashiro hurriedly did as she was told. Shirakawa Shika watched this girl who poured all her passion into painting.
