In fact, the reason why Mashiro was able to make up his mind to learn how to draw comics was, as Rita said, because of her encouragement.
As a beautiful girl painter who has made great achievements in art and was even personally received by the royal family - when Mashiro proposed that she wanted to draw comics, you can imagine the attitude of the people around her:
"Are you kidding me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"truth?"
No one would support her stupid behavior. Although she is so talented in art, she wants to become a cartoonist? Isn't this a joke?
Only Rita encouraged her to pursue her dreams at that time. For Mashiro, Rita at that time was probably the hero who always supported her, right?
But now even the only hero who supports her has betrayed her and wants to take her back - Mashiro is actually afraid.
However, Sougo Tsuchima stood up...
Although Mashiro didn't quite understand some of the theories someone said, she could feel Sougo's kindness and sincerity towards her. Well, despite her dull look, she was actually very witty. Whoever treated her well was her She could feel it, and this was the first time she had met Sougo who was so kind to her.
"Don't think blindly..." Sougo Toma was also very confused now: "Do you know what happiness is?"
"Sougo..."
Mashiro seemed a little annoyed at someone's attitude: "I'm not an idiot."
"Idiots usually say they are not idiots."
Sougo Toma opened his eyes and lied: "Obviously he was frightened by my angry look and his heart beat faster. How can you say you are happy..."
"But Sougo is angry because of me."
"..."
Is this guy really Zhenbai? Sougo Toma wants to complain:
"No, it's because I have a good vacation but I still have to be disturbed by who comes to my house..." Speaking of this, Sougo Toma rolled his eyes and said: "Come to think of it, this is all your fault, Mashiro!"
"oh."
Sure enough, Mashiro looked lost.
"Hey..." Seeing this, Sougo Toma said again: "Don't you want to refute a few words?"
"Why refute?"
"Ah~ this..."
"Rita is here to find me..."
"You can say you didn't let her come..."
"Rita is here to find me!" Mashiro was still so straightforward.
"But you said you hated her on the first day she came..."
"Are Sougo trying to find a reason for me?"
Mashiro, who was supposed to be upright, said suddenly.
"..."
When did Mashiro become so shrewd? Sougo Toma was roaring in his heart, but he said:
"No, I'm just telling the truth..."
"Sougo..." But before he could finish his words, Mashiro said: "Will you always support me?"
"What's supporting you?"
Sougo Tsuchima was stunned.
"drawing comic……"
"Idiot..." After hearing this, Sougo Doma couldn't help but said: "Do you need support from others to do what you like? As long as you feel happy..."
"Do you feel happy?"
"Um……"
"Sougo, you are so kind..."
Tsuchima Sougo: "..."
So, is Rita here to give him an assist? But he doesn't need this kind of assist!
"Low-key, low-key, but you are not afraid that I will just talk, just like..."
"Um?"
"Didn't Rita encourage you? But now..."
"..." After hearing this, the silent Mashiro suddenly said: "Will Sougo be like Rita?"
"who knows?"
"Certainly not……"
"You also know?"
"Because Sougo is lazy..."
Sougo Toma:? ? ?
This is too much! ?
Although he is indeed a salted fish, but...
"Okay, you really understand me..."
"Of course, because Sougo is my owner."
"Isn't it the same with Rita..."
"No..." Mashiro shook his head and then whispered: "Only Sougo is the owner..."
"..." Although these words sounded quite pleasant, Sougo Toma shook his head in his heart and said quickly: "Let's go back to Rita, shall we?"
"Um?"
"Does Mashiro still want to be friends with her?"
"think……"
"If you don't want to..." At the same time as Mashiro spoke, Sougo Doma also said: "Eh? She has betrayed you, and you still want to be friends with her..."
"But Rita..."
"And..." At the same time as Mashiro spoke, Sougo Doma also said: "She is still jealous of you."
"envy?"
This time Mashiro was really confused: "Why is Rita jealous of me?"
"Of course I'm jealous that you are better at painting than her..."
"But Rita's paintings are also very good..." Mashiro was still puzzled: "I really like Rita's paintings."
"Then do you know that Rita is giving up painting because of you?"
"Give up painting?" Mashiro was stunned: "How? Rita..."
"Didn't she tell you?"
"I think I said..." Mashiro lowered his head and said, "But Rita likes painting so much, how could she give up painting?"
"Maybe that's just what you think?"
"No..." Mashiro couldn't help but said: "I know, Rita likes painting as much as I do, because I have been watching Rita, and there is no way Rita will give up painting..."
"..."
"I can't believe Rita would give up painting!"
"..." Looking at Mashiro who didn't want to believe it, Sougo Doma sighed and said, "What if I say that she decided to give up painting because of you?"
"because I?"
"Because of you..." Faced with Mashiro's doubts, Sougo Doma just nodded and said: "Because Rita feels that no matter how hard she tries, she can't surpass you, Mashiro..."
"..."
"Just like those guys who studied painting with you..." Sougo Toma said seriously: "Rita finally couldn't bear the pressure you brought and decided to give up painting..."
Hearing this, Mashiro lowered his head: "Are you the same as those before?"
"That's right..." Sougo Toma was so sincere: "Just like those guys before, are you still willing to be friends with her?"
"Sougo..."
Mashiro did not answer the other party's question directly, but said: "Am I wrong?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Everyone gave up their favorite painting because of me..."
"Favorite painting?" Sougo Toma said: "I don't think so. They don't like painting as much as you think..."
"No, Rita..."
"Maashiro!" Before the other party could finish speaking, Sougo Doma interrupted: "Do you remember the question I just asked you? If we learn painting together, you will give up painting because you can't compare with me. ?"
"Won't……"
"Isn't that right?"
Sougo Doma smiled: "This is the attitude towards painting. Rita and the others do not so much like painting as they like the honor and praise that painting brings them..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Maybe you don't quite understand when it comes to honors and praises..." Sougo Toma said, "I'll give you a few simple examples. Isn't everyone who learns painting with you the same?" Academic master, everyone can get perfect scores and get first place in every exam?"
"..." After Mashiro thought about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "No, Rita didn't..."
