I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 28 Sooner or later he will surpass Sakurai Itsuki!
Hane Shion's face was full of black lines. She bit her lower lip tightly and stared at Sakurai Itsuki.

Although Sakurai Itsuki didn't know when she started eavesdropping on their office conversations.

But looking at her ferocious eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive, it seemed that at least what she said just now, "She is not as good as me," must have been heard.

In fact, Hane Shion's level is certainly not bad. As a high school student, her level can be said to be outstanding.

It’s just that Sakurai Itsuki was a professional graduate from a school of choice in his previous life, and the intensity of his work in this life is no less.

With nearly thirty years of basic skills accumulated in two lifetimes, it is indeed a bit of an insult to deal with a seventeen-year-old girl.

"That, that."

Hase Hatsuna, who was standing behind, opened her mouth in panic when she saw the embarrassing scene of someone talking behind someone's back being heard by the person they were talking to.

She felt that as a teacher she should say something, but the tense atmosphere made her, who had always been timid, feel a little overwhelmed.

However, what relieved Hase Hatsuna was that no war broke out between the two.

"Excuse me."

Sakurai Itsuki did not apologize and was too lazy to explain his remarks. He just walked past Hanase Shion sideways.

No matter how angry or how much she hated him, no matter how fiercely she glared at him, for Sakurai Itsuki, his attitude was only one:
So what?
She can glare at me if she wants, and hate me if she wants, but I won't lose any meat because of her.

On the contrary, the more she hated herself, the more points she had in her account and the more meat she ate.

Then I thought about her contemptuous attitude just now and her embarrassed face now.

Sakurai Itsuki, who had won both materially and emotionally, couldn't help but smile with joy.

And Hane Shion looked at Sakurai Itsuki, who looked quite relaxed, and her face turned red with anger.

He turned his head and opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

But the words were stuck on my lips and I couldn't say them.

The reason is very simple. Although I am very unhappy, I can't find any reason to refute it.

Although that statement was indeed excessive and heartbreaking, it was undoubtedly the truth.
Hanase Shion lowered her head and looked at the painting drawn by Sakurai Itsuki.

She is determined to become a cartoonist, but she is not even as good as an ordinary high school student who slandered cartoonists and gave up on becoming a cartoonist.

I really want to tear his paintings into pieces!
But he raised his hand and stopped again.

"Hase-san, are you okay?"

Hase Hatsuna swallowed her saliva, tiptoed to the side of Hane Shion, and carefully observed her expression.

When I was carefully considering how to comfort someone.

Hane Shion shook her head and lowered her hand that was about to tear up the comic book that Sakurai Itsuki was reading.

At this moment, she had figured out the problem.

After all, that bastard Sakurai Itsuki's slander against cartoonists must be just a result of his own impotent rage after he had put in his own efforts but had always failed, right?

If I really tear up his painting, wouldn't I be a clown like Sakurai Itsuki?
She raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but her tone was full of determination, "Teacher Hase, your club has a lot of great creators, right?"

"Well, sort of. Although they're not professionals yet, the only difference between them and professionals is that they haven't graduated yet."

Hase Hatsuna nodded and explained.

“Let me join in!”

Hane Shion sniffed slightly, and the self-doubt and confusion disappeared in an instant.

Although she still doesn't know how to make true friends with similar interests, she now knows very clearly that her goal of coming to Tokyo is to become a professional manga artist like Haruki Nagayama!

Since her target is Haruki Nagayama, how can she let her confidence be knocked down by someone who gave up comics halfway?

She admitted that her current level was not as good as Sakurai Itsuki's, but everyone had heard the story of the tortoise and the hare.

Sooner or later she will surpass Sakurai Itsuki!

"Huh? Of course! Our club is in need of players who are good at drawing." Hase Hatsuna nodded quickly. She was even a little surprised that Hanase Shion would take the initiative to want to join them.

"You can come over this week. Everyone happens to be here this weekend."

"Well, I'm not very good at drawing, but I will get better!"

When Hane Shion recalled Sakurai Itsuki's expression just now, her eyes became sharp.

He must be making fun of me, who had a grim expression on my face after being slapped in the face by him, right?
In that case
She must produce a work that can officially debut before graduating from high school!

At that time, not only will I openly tell the class that I am a cartoonist, but I will also show off in front of that damn guy.

By then, that bastard's expression will definitely be a hundred times uglier than mine just now!
"Hmph~" After imagining that scene for a while, Hane Shion felt refreshed and couldn't help but hum softly.

"You look so scary, Shiyin. Are you really okay? How about I treat you to dessert?"

Hase Hatsuna couldn't help but feel creepy when she saw Hane Shion with a gloomy face and red eyes, but suddenly she chuckled.

She is even more terrifying than her violent sister.

If it were ten years ago, Hase Hatsuna would have been scared by her and would have handed over her wallet.

Of course, her behavior of inviting Hanase Shion to have dessert is not much different from that.

"Oh, that's fine too. Thank you."

Hanase Shion came back to her senses and nodded.

As soon as Sakurai Itsuki returned to the classroom, the hot girl with dyed blonde hair jumped in front of him in a hurry.

"Where were you just now?"

"Can you give me some privacy?" Sakurai Itsuki asked back.

"Can't I just ask? I'm not forcing you to say that. Look at this!" Sato Wakaba muttered softly, then raised her voice and took out an unfinished manuscript paper from behind her.

"Look, my comics! How do you feel?"

"It's just so-so." Sakurai Itsuki took a glance and gave this evaluation.

"Hey! My classmates all praised my drawings! Ah Shu, you are really strict!"

Although Sato Wakaba expressed disappointment, she seemed to have been mentally prepared for Sakurai Itsuki's evaluation, so she did not seem depressed.

"By the way, where are your comics? Let me see them."

Sato Wakaba looked at Sakurai Itsuki with anticipation.

She knew that the man in front of her was a real cartoonist, so she was looking forward to his work.

"I have already paid."

"So fast?! Can't you let me take a look first?" Sato Wakaba pouted in dissatisfaction.

Sakurai Itsuki shrugged, "It's nothing to see. If I don't finish it quickly, it will be troublesome to deal with that person after class."

"Oh, by the way, you and Hanase-san are in the same group. By the way, did you bully her? She had such a grim expression just now."

Sato Wakaba asked, tilting her head.

"Ashu, you wouldn't do something so awful, would you?"

Sakurai Shu silently turned his head to the side and looked at the scenery outside the window, "The sky is so blue."

"Ashu, your personality is really too bad. I thought you two could make peace with each other!" said Sato Wakaba.

"Then there's probably no chance." Sakurai Itsuki said.

If there were favorability levels in real life like in games, and the favorability level between newlyweds was 100, then Hane Shion's favorability level towards him should be close to 100.

Of course, this value is negative.
