If I don't capture the girl, I will die

This desire becomes even stronger after one becomes aware of the other person's achievements.

She doesn't want to and is unwilling to be a useless vase.

Ji Qi waved to this woman who was stunning from every angle, "See you tomorrow."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who habitually used words to cleverly disguise her feelings, said in a gloomy tone: "Aren't you afraid that I'll meet a pervert on the train? Isn't this a common occurrence?"

"You're talking about something that happens often in hentai, right? I didn't expect you to be this type of person, Kasumigaoka Utaha! I've really only seen a few cases like this in real life... And even if you really run into one, don't you usually carry a stun gun with you? If all else fails, just shout that there's a pervert and call the police."

Well, I am still worried. After all, art comes from reality. There is a reason why there are so many of these works. But now we live in a society ruled by law. After experiencing some incidents, with social appeals and the strong intervention of the Japanese government, such things have become less and less common in reality.

Even on the train, if a man is slandered and questioned by a woman, once the news spreads and the police are involved, in this small country of Japan, his entire life is basically ruined. Neither the company nor the people around him will accept such a person anymore. Unless he moves to a city where he is unfamiliar with the place.

If you're really worried, there are women-only carriages.

"Tsk, it's so boring to chat with you. I'm leaving now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl turned around and left without any reluctance, her long, straight, shiny black hair swaying lightly.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Qi and she went in opposite directions.

As for dessert shops, he knew there was a very good one in Chiyoda that was not far away.

If he hadn't suddenly remembered this, he would have gone back with Kasumigaoka Utaha and made do with some food from a convenience store on the way.

This shop is the place where Iida Ayano and I agreed to meet for the first time. Last time, he said that he would bring Sagiri to try it if he had the chance.

Aside from the fact that the prices are a bit high, the desserts tasted really good.

Sagiri will definitely like it.

With this thought in mind, after walking for about ten minutes, Ji Qi saw his target.

After he opened the door of the house, before he found a seat to sit down and order food, he heard a familiar mature female voice in front of him.

"Hey, hey, is that you, Ji Qijun?"

Named by name, there would be no one else except him. Ji Qi looked in the direction of the voice, and then he was happy. Could this be telepathy?

Chapter 251 I will smash anyone who opposes Mashiro

Shiina Mashiro.

Iida Ayano.

Two people who were originally unrelated were connected because of comics. Come to think of it, he seems to be one of them?

Ji Qi took the initiative to walk towards this table.

Iida Ayano, who had permed and dyed short hair, said in surprise: "It's really Hime Nana-kun, what a coincidence."

"I didn't expect you guys to be here."

Sitting opposite them, he answered casually.

Seeing Ji Qi's arrival, Mashiro still had that expressionless face without any emotion. But if you look closely, you can detect a hint of excitement hidden in her.

"Have you ordered yet?"

There was no food on the table. It looked like they had either finished eating a long time ago or had just arrived like him.

Iida Ayano shook her head, "No, we just came here after shopping."

"shop?"

Why does it feel like he is more like an editor? Shouldn't a meeting with an editor usually be about discussing comics? Are they really an editor and a cartoonist? Flipping through the menu, Ji Qi complained.

"There are so many baumkuchen here... Do you want me to buy some baumkuchen for you, Mashiro, to take back home?"

He didn't care about it the last time he came, but this time he knew that Mashiro's second favorite thing besides the comics is the Baumkuin cake, Ji Qi said.

"I want."

Shiina Mashiro said this in an emotionless voice without any girl's shyness or reserve. Her face was also expressionless. But the two people present could hear her desire.

Since this place specializes in selling snacks, the quality and variety are definitely much better than those in convenience stores. Ji Qi asked with interest: "I'll buy one for you?

"Um... well."

Shiina Mashiro hesitated for a while. She now had much better common sense than in the UK. At least, after being taught by many people, she knew that money was needed to buy things and that money was important.

In her mind, Baumkuchen = something very important, so Baumkuchen = a lot of money.

Would it be difficult for him to buy so much?

Ji Qi ticked all the boxes without any concern, and asked the waiter to pack them up and take them away.

They both ordered.

"Himeshichi-kun, you really dote on her." Looking at the generous Himeshichi, Iida Ayano teased. Mashiro was such a pure and innocent girl, and she liked her even more after meeting her in real life. She was very happy to see Himeshichi treat Mashiro so well.

"Your demands are too low... This is something that many people would beg for but cannot obtain."

Ji Qi held his forehead and thought that buying some cakes could win the favor of a super beautiful girl. This was simply too cheap!

Iida Ayano waved her hand, "I'm talking about attitude, attitude."

"So, how was your shopping experience?"

Ji Qi said, supporting his chin.

For him, comics are just a tool to make money, but for Shiina Mashiro, it is her dream.

This can be seen from the girl's attitude of resolutely coming to a foreign country despite the opposition of others.

Iida Ayano said seriously: "I feel like Mashiro is much cuter than I thought."

"You don't have to tell me that." Ji Qi also frowned. He would beat anyone who dared to oppose Mashiro's cuteness! This was his realization after sleeping with the girl last night.

Mashiro blinked and looked forward to the Baumkuchen, looking like a small animal waiting to be fed by its owner.

After coughing, Iida Ayano finally got to the point: "Have you read Mashiro's latest manga?"

"I only watched half of it yesterday and then I went to sleep. I woke up late in the morning and didn't get home yet, so I haven't had time to watch it yet."

"What do you think?"

"improve rapidly."

Ji Qi said truthfully. As for the boring plot at the beginning of Mashiro, he originally wanted to tell the plot directly to Mashiro and then let Mashiro draw it. After all, although he couldn't remember the plots of most of the works in his mind, he could still make an outline. There were also many love comics.

But the plot is so bad, probably partly because she has too little experience. She has never been exposed to anything other than painting, so her imagination is not good. As long as her life becomes more colorful, and he is there to guide her in character setting and plot, there will be no problem.

So he decided to let Mashiro think of a new plot, which was also a good opportunity to train her.

"I told you, if Mashiro comes to Japan to have a relationship, there will be no problem!" Iida Ayano, who has been so busy these past two days that she has no time to see Mashiro, is very pleased. You know, it was she who first proposed to let Mashiro come to Japan.

Ji Qi was a little surprised, "Mashiro is not in love."

"You two have slept in the same bed and you still say you are not in love?"

Now it was Iida Ayano's turn to be speechless.

"How did you know that... things are not what you think." Ji Qi's mouth twitched. He was sure that it was definitely revealed by Zhenbai unintentionally. Although the fact was true...

"Just be content, kid. What's wrong with Mashiro?"

The two of them simultaneously ignored the feelings of the person involved and started discussing her gossip.

"I didn't say she was bad. Rather, I said that the good ones made me feel inferior."

In fact, he really had no complaints about Shiina Mashiro who was not stingy with using various words to describe her beauty.

A simple-minded, impeccable-looking, hardworking girl who gives you benefits from time to time. Only a saint can refuse, right?

He definitely hasn't reached this level of awareness.

"Why don't you hold on tight? Watch out for Mashiro running away." Iida Ayano smiled ambiguously. These two people are a perfect match no matter how you look at it.

“She doesn’t understand this yet…”

Should we say that Mashiro is worthy of being Mashiro? Regarding Iida Ayano, who was more like Mashiro's sister than an editor, Himechi said helplessly.

While the two were talking, the food they ordered was delivered quickly.

As expected, Mashiro ordered two Baumkuchen cakes. Perhaps because the company didn't reimburse her for the expenses, Iida Ayano was much more restrained than last time.

Ji Qi, who was curious about whether the Baumkuchen cake was really that delicious, also ordered one, along with a cup of coffee.

Seeing the cake, Shiina Mashiro's cherry blossom-like eyes brightened a little, but looking at her hesitation, it seemed that she didn't know which of the two cakes to eat first...

"I'll send you the comics tonight. You can see how long it will take to be eligible for serialization in Jump if you keep going at this pace."

Ji Qi, who didn't come here to eat, drank a cup of coffee. The comic pictures that Mashiro sent to him in England were all done by Rita, a British girl. No one did that for her in Japan.

Chapter 252 Pets and Sister

Mashiro, who was enjoying the Baumkuchen, slowed down her movements and pricked up her ears.

It seems that in her heart, the Baumkuchen is not as important as the comics.

"What do you think?"

Iida Ayano didn't rush to answer, but instead asked for the opinion of Hime Nana, a manga artist who debuted in one go.

"Not for now."

Ji Qi told the truth. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt helpless when he saw the lost mood emanating from Shiina Mashiro. It was true that Mashiro was extremely talented in art, but it was different when she crossed over to another field. She didn't have a system like him.

Weekly Shonen Jump is the best in Japan, and the cartoonists in it are undoubtedly the best. In fact, those who have reached this level have all put in decades or even more than ten years of hard work. Their talent training in comics is not much less than that of Mashiro.

"That's right. Mashiro's progress is obvious, but the plot character obviously still has a lot of room for improvement. If we can dig out all of these, we can almost pass the company's review. After all, Mashiro's painting skills and reputation are there."

As an editor, Ayano Iida also analyzed the situation from a completely objective perspective.

Shiina Mashiro was only lost for a moment, then she regained her composure. She began to pinch a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth. She would not give up until she reached her goal. With her perseverance, this was not just talk, but she could really do it. Just like she kept painting for more than ten hours a day for more than ten years without interruption. To some extent, Mashiro fits the world's assumption that artists have weird personalities.

Seeing that Ji Qi quickly finished her cake, Zhenbai paused, pinched a piece of cake twice as big as the one she had just eaten with her little hands covered with cake crumbs, leaned forward slightly, and handed the food to someone's mouth.

"Seven, eat together."

The eyes are as clear as transparent lake water.

Ji Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently, and did not refuse the girl's kindness, and directly opened his mouth and swallowed the cake in one gulp. By the way, he accidentally sucked Mashiro's finger.

After feeding, Mashiro, still expressionless, sat back in his original position.

However, just when Ji Qi thought that this little episode was over, unexpectedly, Zhenbai spoke slowly after a long time: "It feels so strange..."

Ji Qi's heart skipped a beat, and Iida Ayano, who hadn't recovered yet, asked curiously, "What's strange?"

Mashiro placed a hand on his chest and murmured, "My body just shook for some reason. Also, my heart was beating a little fast..."

After hearing this, Iida Ayano suppressed her inner smile and said seriously, "Maybe this is love."

Love? Isn't it natural for girls to be shy? It would be strange if I wasn't shy at all.

I swallowed the cake and felt that it tasted pretty good. Shiina Mashiro may have a bit of a personality quirk, but her physical development is normal and there is nothing wrong with it!

"Is this love..." Shiina Mashiro repeated stupidly.

Iida Ayano said in an ambiguous manner, "Well, remember this feeling well, Mashiro. You can always use it when drawing love comics. In addition, you can ask Hime Nana-kun for more advice on this aspect. Apart from other things, he can be regarded as your teacher in terms of emotional state and the performance of lines."

Mashiro nodded seriously. In comics, she would listen to other people's opinions as long as they were useful. She didn't look like a lone genius in the art world at all.

After a while, the three of them had almost finished their snacks.

Since she bought the most things, she attracted a lot of attention when she went to the front desk to pay the bill. However, Ji Qi, who was annoyed, also paid Iida Ayano's bill as well.

"Just consider it as our travel fare."

Knowing that the editor had a car, he made up a random excuse to leave the other party speechless...

It was completely dark.

Putting the sunglasses in her bag and sitting in the driver's seat, Iida Ayano said to the rearview mirror: "Fasten your seat belts."

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Ji Qi still tied it for him and Mashiro.

After returning home, Ji Qi said goodbye to Iida Ayano, whose smile was becoming more and more ambiguous, and returned to the living room carrying a large bag of desserts.

Seeing Mashiro staring at the things in the plastic bag from time to time, Ji Qi already knew her little thoughts clearly.
