Masamune shook his head slightly and explained:

“Mashiro is currently a second-year student at Tokyo University of the Arts. Putting aside whether you can be admitted through special admission, even if you can skip a grade, you will still be a first-year student, not a second-year student.”

? ?

Rita was stunned for several seconds before she realized what was happening:

"Have I arrived in a world several years in the future? Isn't Mashiro the same age as me? How come she's a sophomore in college?"

“Mashiro is exceptionally talented and was highly regarded by the faculty of Tokyo University of the Arts. They believed that she was wasting her time in high school and admitted her last year, skipping a grade to enter her first year of university.”

"Is this the reason why Mashiro has made such rapid progress in the past year?"

"more or less."

"No wonder."

Rita seemed to be deep in thought, and her mood improved slightly.

I thought Mashiro's talent had been updated again, but it turns out it was just like that.

Having entered university early and being valued by a group of professional teachers who provide daily guidance, it would be strange if one's progress were slow.

"Freshman year is fine too, I want to go to university too."

"I can help you put in a good word, but the entrance exam is very difficult."

"I'll do my best."

"If I pass the entrance exam, I'll have to settle down here for at least several years. Is that okay?"

“It’s okay, I can ask my parents for money.”

"Money is not a problem. If you are willing to work part-time in Musashino, I can cover all your expenses. You can buy whatever you want."

"Musashino Animation?"

“That’s right, Mashiro also works part-time.”

At this moment, a glimmer of color gradually returned to Rita's lifeless eyes.

Is it an animation?

According to information found online, Musashino receives a reward every season of the anime, and Mashiro seems to have gained several superpowers as well.

If I could participate, I might gain superpowers to compensate for my lack of talent.

Even if I can't catch up with Mashiro, at least I can stand beside her and not be left far behind.

"make a deal."

Chapter 175 Don't speak, it'll make me seem stupid.

Although there was one more person in the household, the daily tasks that Masamune and the others had to do did not change much.

After dinner, we went for a walk together.

I got home an hour later and started drawing the comic.

Because the relevant plot had been discussed at the company in the afternoon, and because Mashiro drew very quickly, the workload for the day was completed in just about two hours.

With Rita's help, today's work ended more than ten minutes earlier than yesterday.

"Is this what comics are? It doesn't seem that difficult."

Rita looked at the original manuscript on the table with curiosity.

At the same time, he unconsciously glanced at Mashiro a few more times.

One person provides the story, and the other is responsible for drawing it. How could Mashiro accept this collaborative model?

While the manga is indeed very interesting, given Rita's understanding of Mashiro, she would probably prefer to draw her own unique manga.

"What's next?" Mashiro suddenly asked.

"Hmm... It's not even nine o'clock yet, so showering and going to bed early is a bit early. I ate a moderate amount for dinner tonight, so I don't need to exercise to burn calories. In that case, shall we continue discussing this week's assignments?"

"can."

Noticing Rita's curious gaze, Masamune quickly explained the whole story.

"...Mashiro draws very quickly, but deciding what to draw is something that requires a lot of thought."

Do you discuss this every week?

"Every day."

At that moment, Rita was filled with questions.

why?

Even lovers probably don't have that level of patience.

Moreover, this man is the president of a large company, and he is very busy with work every day.

"So, the 'Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains' picture circulating online was also something you came up with together?"

"Hmm, I suddenly thought of it while chatting tonight. However, I haven't come up with a good design for this week's topic yet."

"Happiness..." Rita thought to herself, "Does Mashiro feel happy with her life right now?"

"happiness."

Mashiro's answer was very decisive, which surprised Rita.

Although to outsiders, Mashiro appears to be a cold and indifferent person who doesn't care about anything, she knows very well that Mashiro actually has a vulnerable side like many normal girls.

It's only because the perspective is always focused on the canvas that it gives people a feeling of desolation.

"I see. Then why not just paint the everyday life around you?"

"I want to draw everyone in it."

"Being too greedy can lead to losing everything."

“There’s nothing wrong with being a little greedy,” Masamune replied with a smile. “If you want more characters, it’s best to draw a particular scene. Why don’t you decide first which people you want to draw, and then I’ll call and invite everyone together—a banquet, a tea party, a cocktail party, a flower viewing party, and so on.”

"K-On!, Umaru-chan, Chiyo Sakura, Yukinoshita, Yuigahama..."

As she thought about it, Mashiro quickly listed all the girls she was close to.

"They're all girls, huh? In that case, let's have a girls' tea party this Friday. I won't be there, but you can all chat and have a good time."

"Can you invite everyone?"

"Making an appointment in advance shouldn't be a problem; I'll try to coordinate. If that doesn't work, I'll talk to their family and try to get everyone together."

"Then draw this."

Rita stared at the two of them silently, speechless for a moment.

It's clearly a big deal, so why are you talking about it so casually?

"Great, the topic for this week's assignment has been decided. If any changes are needed, we can discuss it again later. Now, how about we relax by playing some games or watching TV?"

"What does Rita want to do?" Mashiro asked softly.

Does Mashiro play games?

"know a bit."

Do you have any fun games here?

Noticing the confusion in Rita's eyes, Masamune then said:

"There's a table tennis room upstairs where you can try indoor games, or you can go to the living room to play video games, mainly fighting games."

"Then... let's play ping pong."

Rita had absolutely no interest in video games.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Mashiro with a strange gaze.

Does she know how to play all these games?

People who used to be only obsessed with drawing have now learned to do other things too.

Does Mashiro play video games?

"meeting."

Upon seeing this, Masamune added:

"Because a friend I met before was a gaming expert, Mashiro could perfectly reproduce her moves, and her skill level was quite good."

"However, we've only played together three times, and we don't usually turn on the game console intentionally."

"And what about you, Masamune-senpai?" Rita asked with a smile.

"When it was just my mom and me at home, I would sit in front of the TV by myself for a long time when I had nothing to do. But after a while, I would get very bored."

"In the anime Masamune-kun, doesn't Masamune-senpai have a younger sister?"

"Unfortunately, that was a fictional story. In reality, I am an only child."

"That is indeed a bit of a shame."

The group got up and went to the ping-pong room. After playing for about half an hour, they went to take a shower in the order of Mashiro, Rita, and Masamune.

That evening, Rita noticed Mashiro carrying a blanket and walking out of the room, and she looked surprised.

"Where are you going? You're so white."

Because the guest room hadn't been cleaned and the bedding was too damp, Rita, at dinner time, suggested that she sleep with Mashiro tonight, and then buy toiletries and arrange a separate room tomorrow.

"This is a blanket for Rita."

"Thank you, but isn't this your room?"

"I sleep with Masamune, not in my own room."

"Why……?"

Rita was stunned for several seconds before she realized what was happening:

Does this mean I should go sleep there with them?
