It was time for school to end. Outside the private Kamama School, in a popular coffee shop, Kasumigaoka Shiu, who was gushing with thoughts, was typing in her notebook.
In the quiet coffee shop, the gentle voices of students taking a nap after school could not cover up the sound of typing. Correspondingly, paragraphs of gorgeous rhetoric and sensational conversations followed this dense The sound of coding came out, and it was completed in one go. In just a short time, tens of thousands of words were coded eloquently. She was truly a worthy coder.
"call……"
After running out of inspiration in a short period of time, the typing sound stopped. Kasumigaoka Shiyu finally stopped, stretched slightly, and took a long breath.
After the excitement passed, Kasumigaoka Shiyu began to feel a little tired.
Okay, let me see what I wrote...
As a gifted author who relies on talent, when Kasumigaoka Shiyu is inspired, he often writes things that even he doesn't know what to write. How much of it is gold and jade, and how much is waste, is hard to describe. A manuscript of 10,000 words was "shot" without leaving any trace. This has happened countless times.
Just when Kasumigaoka Shiyu wanted to calm down and carefully read the manuscript she had written, a gentle swishing sound with an unusually comfortable rhythm came to her ears.
This sound seemed to have been there when Kasumigaoka Shiyu was coding, but it was covered by the coding sound. Kasumigaoka Shiyu could only vaguely hear it. Now that the coding sound was paused, the brushing sound became clearer.
A little curiosity arose in his heart, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but look for the source of the sound, and found that the source of the sound was in the seat behind him.
I saw a young man who was also wearing the uniform of the private Shenjian School, lying on the table and scribbling something. The scratching sound was naturally made by him.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared at it for a long time before finally confirming that this boy was actually drawing comics!
Originally, Kasumigaoka Shiu, as a light novel author, was not very familiar with manga drawing, but she knew a little bit about it, so she shouldn't have been unable to tell at a glance that this boy was drawing manga.
However, this young man's way of drawing comics is completely different from other comics authors. With a piece of paper, a pencil, and a few swipes, with an unusually decisive attitude, he finalized the storyboard of a page of comics, and then, Instead of using a pencil to continue enriching the storyboards and turning them into rough drafts, I directly switched to a dip pen and started writing.
He finished it in one go, with almost no pauses, no hesitations, and of course no revisions. His brush strokes were flying. In about ten minutes, a complete drawing was born in his hands!
Is this drawing a comic?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was full of questions. Even though she had never learned to draw comics, she had never eaten pork, and she had seen those deadbeat people in the school's comics club... Oh, no, it was drawing comics.
Correction fluid, brushes, dot paper, utility knife, ruler... these basic painting tools have never been used by this young man, and looking at the objects placed on his table - several pages of completed drawings spread out , a stack of manuscript paper, an eraser that looks brand new and unused, an open bottle of ink that is occasionally dipped in, a pencil that is used for touch-ups from time to time, a glass of boiled water that seems to have never been drunk, at least it will be there again There are none, and it seems that they really didn’t intend to use those tools in the first place.
After a drawing was completed, the young man couldn't help but straighten up and push up his glasses with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Seeing the young man raising his head, the reserved and beautiful girl Kasumigaoka Shiyu hurriedly turned her head. After turning her head, she peeked out of the corner of her eyes guiltily and found that the young man had not noticed her peeking just now. She couldn't help but feel relieved.
In Japan, girls stare at boys hastily. This is not a decent behavior, and it is inconsistent with Kasumigaoka Shiyu's aloof persona. Of course, Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't want the boy to find out about her peeping, although this is nothing. Shameful things.
Is the face I’ve never seen before a freshman?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought.
The private Shinjen School has only been open for a month, so if you are a first-year freshman, you may not recognize him.
Although Kasumigaoka Shiu is not keen on socializing, and can even be said to be a very averse person to socializing, but with his extraordinary memory, if that boy is an old face from the second and third grades, and they are in the same school, Kasumigaoka Shiu will not I should have no impression at all.
What a strange person...
Thinking like this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu quickly returned his attention to his manuscript.
Obviously, he is just a slightly strange person, and it is not enough to affect Kasumigaoka Shiu's mind too much. "Metronome of Love", this debut work that Kasumigaoka Shiu has put a lot of energy into, is the top priority now. .
Although the first volume of the novel has been released, the results are not good. According to the results of the editorial discussion, it is likely that the three volumes will be completed. Such an ending is not what Kasumigaoka Shiyu wants to see. The first volume that has been released, Kasumigaoka Qiu Shiyu has no way to change, but it is impossible for her to be willing to end her debut in three volumes. So all she can do now is to perfect the second volume to gain the trust of the editorial board and win the favor of readers. , as long as the second volume of "Metronome of Love" can achieve good results, then this "child" can escape the fate of being cut in half.
…………………………
Kasumigaoka Shiyu no longer thought about the boy, but the boy came to the door by himself as a joke.
The next day, after school, Kasumigaoka Shiu from the Homecoming Club packed her schoolbag and was about to go home and continue to conceive the plot of "Love Metronome". After using class time to get some sleep, she was now in high spirits, which was perfect for her to sleep in. Explode liver coding at home.
Yesterday, I suddenly had an inspiration. I was afraid that the inspiration would disappear on the way, so I hurriedly went to the coffee shop next to the school to write down the inspiration. Today I took my time and went home, of course.
But what Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't know was that at this time, outside the classroom door, a young man who was about to change her future was waiting for her.
"Is this Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai?"
The boy who drew strange comics in the coffee shop yesterday bowed slightly to Kasumigaoka Shiu who was walking out of the classroom.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu frowned.
Originally, Kasumigaoka Shiyu only guessed that the boy was a freshman in high school, but now, after seeing the silver star-shaped badge on the collar of the boy's school uniform, he had determined that the boy was a freshman in high school.
Japan is a country that attaches great importance to the respect of elders and juniors, and the same is naturally true in schools. The status of lower grades and upper grades are completely different. The upper grades give orders to the lower grades. This can be said to be a natural thing in Japan.
In the same school, in order to easily distinguish between the upper and lower ages, some marks are often made on the school uniforms to distinguish the upper and lower ages. The silver star-shaped badge on the collar of the boy is the logo of the first-year students of the private Kamama School.
When a first-year freshman faced a second-year senior, he did not bow but just bowed. This was a very rude thing. Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu was also disgusted with the behavior of yelling at the juniors based on his status as a senior, but for a She will also not like people who are rude.
Seeing that Kasumigaoka Shiyu did not deny his identity, the young man continued: "Hello, my name is Yan Kai. I am an international student from Zhongyuan. I have known you for a long time. This is my first time meeting you. I am very happy to meet you."
According to Japanese etiquette, one should say "Please give me more advice" to someone you meet for the first time. However, this Central Plains native named Yan Kai is more accustomed to saying "Nice to meet", considering that there seems to be no "Nice to meet" in Japanese. This statement was changed to "nice to meet you".
"People from the Central Plains?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's frown relaxed and turned into curiosity.
It was normal for foreigners not to understand Japan's customs. Kasumigaoka Shiyu naturally forgave Yan Kai's rudeness, and only then began to look seriously at Yan Kai.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu has a tall figure, which is a rare height among Japanese high school students. Even when facing most boys, she can look straight at her, but this strange Central Plains man in front of her needs her to raise her head slightly. He is at least one meter tall. Eight, or even above, neither fat nor thin, neither bloated nor like a bamboo pole, just right.
Fair skin, especially better than women. This made Kasumigaoka Shiyu slightly unhappy. What could a man do with such good skin?
Wearing wide and thick old-fashioned glasses on his face, most of his face was covered. The thick lenses were completely white, making it difficult to see his true face.
The lips are very thin, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, as if they could smile at any time, but they are quite pleasing. The chin is pointed, but it looks like a beautiful girl manga protagonist.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu secretly thought, what a weirdo.
"The thing is like this, I heard that Kasumigaoka-senpai has very outstanding literary talents and has also written scripts for the drama club. Therefore, I have something to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai for help. Could you please step over and listen to my request? What?"
Yan Kai said to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu originally wanted to refuse, but remembering Yan Kai's abnormal painting skills in the coffee shop yesterday, he nodded subconsciously and said: "Okay."
Since the other party praised his literary talent and thought that Yan Kai was drawing comics, he probably wanted to ask for help in terms of comic plots. Kasumigaoka Shiu not only wrote scripts for the drama club, but was also invited by the manga research club. I worked as a screenwriter, but in the end it didn't work out because Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't like Kasumigaoka Shiyu's drawing skills.
Yesterday I just briefly read the Huiyan Kaihua manga. As for the content, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had no idea what it was about. She could only confirm that it was not scribbling. What exactly was it? Kasumigaoka Shiyu had been staying up late for a long time recently to type and write, so she said To be honest, I'm a little shortsighted and can't see clearly.
But if Yan Kaizhen has excellent painting skills and can perfectly express the story in her heart through comics, Kasumigaoka Shiyu would be willing to spend some time on him.
If not, then...
Now is no different than before. If a light novel wants to sell well and expand its influence, it cannot avoid being adapted into comics and animations. Although it is still early to mention this, if you can get to know a potential comic author now, Arriving can be regarded as paving the way for the future.
It’s no wonder that Kasumigaoka Shiu is utilitarian, it’s because of her first child, “Love Metronome”, that she has already racked her brains and wants to try every method.
