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

"Well, holding hands, dating. And...heartbeat."

Mashiro tilted her head cutely, with no expression on her face.

Chapter 307 There is only one person in my heart, and that is Mashiro

I really learned a lot.

Ji Qi has a strange face, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to let such a pure girl learn these things.

You know, Mashiro is very influential in the international art world. If people knew that she came to Japan to make comics, she would definitely be criticized for not doing her job properly. Although she certainly doesn't care.

However, Ji Qi thinks it is best to let Mashiro do what she wants.

Anyway, she has enough money to spend, and she doesn't care about other people's expectations or reputation.

"I know Qi treats me the best." Mashiro raised her round chin slightly, her expression calm and her tone gentle.

He will never complain about 100% mind reading again.

"How can I be considered the best to you? Where is the fairy, where is Rita?" Ji Qi patted the little head of this precious cat with a smile. In terms of the depth of the relationship with Mashiro, Rita, who has lived with her every day for nearly ten years, is undoubtedly the first. The second should be the Yamada fairy who lives next door, right?

Although he has done more things than Yamada Fairy, it is probably because of his gender and the manga that Mashiro treats him differently. After all, he is the only boy among a group of girls...

If Rita or Yamada Fairy were boys, he probably wouldn't have a chance. Thinking about it this way, it's great that they're both girls. No, no, it's great that he's a boy. No, it should be said that he's having a miserable life...

Mashiro said with a serious expression, "They are all my best friends. And Seven too."

"Qi is special." After a pause, as if to defend Ji Qi, she added in a small and calm voice. It sounded emotionless, but Ji Qi could accurately sense that the girl was serious. It must be said that it was a very magical thing.

It feels so good to be actively pursued by Mashiro! If it were based on the system's evaluation, his favorability would have been full a long time ago!

"Yes, yes, did you learn this from comics?"

Ji Qi looked at Mashiro's serious face with interest. How should I put it? He was very happy to hear this, but he always had the illusion that Mashiro's favor was too easy to get away with! What if other boys at school took advantage of the situation and walked in...

"I won't like anyone else." Mashiro still had an expressionless face as he answered the irrelevant question, but he uttered desperate words that could make most of the boys in the school wail.

Hearing this, Ji Qi was happy again. Who said that Zhen Bai didn't know anything? He thought this simple girl had a higher EQ than most people!

"Don't be so sure. Love is a difficult thing to figure out."

He spoke like a relationship expert. To some extent, he was indeed a relationship expert...

Mashiro showed a puzzled look like a cat. She thought for a long time about what to say. She then repeatedly assured him in a tone that seemed casual but also serious: "I won't change my mind."

The unique fragrance of the girl lingered around his ears, and as he looked into Mashiro's pure and ethereal eyes, Ji Qi's heart was filled with shame.

What a good girl! Compared with her, he is just like the lucky toad that was chosen by the swan! Toad overestimates him, to be more precise, he is at the level of paramecium, right?

In modern society, girls like Mashiro are as rare as giant pandas.

I am so grateful to Ayano Iida. If it weren't for this editor, he and Mashiro might be from two completely different worlds.

I'll treat her to a super meal when I get back. But the comic manuscript still needs to be delayed.

Facing the lovely Mashiro, Ji Qi, who was completely conquered in a few moves, coughed and said with a smile: "Mashiro, you haven't had dinner yet, I'll go to cook first, you wait in the room for a while, you can read comics or watch TV during this time. Oh, by the way, call the fairy over as well."

After hearing this, the girl's reaction was even more direct. She stood up and walked towards the entrance without any hesitation.

If Mashiro joins the army, she will definitely be a qualified soldier... After complaining, Ji Qi helplessly reminded him like a nagging mother, "Remember to change your shoes."

After being in Japan for so long, Mashiro has learned the basics of changing shoes and opening doors.

Shaking his head, Ji Qi changed his clothes and walked towards the kitchen.

There was no one to cook dinner for him.

after an hour.

After finishing dinner and comforting Sagiri who seemed a little angry, Himeshichi and Mashiro discussed important things in life in an intimate way in the bedroom, while Yamada Fairy was happily playing games with Sagiri upstairs.

Comics are the top priority in Mashiro's life.

Physical contact… Does it count if two people’s bodies occasionally touch?

At this time, Ji Qi, who was wearing glasses, was flipping through the comic book in his hand page by page, while Mashiro was sitting upright on the chair, looking at him expressionlessly.

This is their daily work.

Although checking comic drafts should be considered the editor's job, Mashiro is not yet a formal cartoonist. As an editor of Jump, Iida Ayano has endless work to do every day. She can only find time to show Mashiro the drawings, and cannot spend a lot of time face-to-face guiding Mashiro on how to draw like Himeshichi does.

When it comes to Mashiro, Ji Qi doesn't have any hidden thoughts of teaching his apprentice to starve the master to death. He just teaches her as much as he knows.

Ji Qi, who was reading the comics, nodded from time to time.

When drawing comics, the most important thing besides the plot and style is the storyboard. A good storyboard can make readers feel the impact and tension of the picture. On the contrary, a bad storyboard will make people feel nothing when watching the plot that should make people laugh in fear.

The most important thing for a cartoonist is to be able to tell a story with one picture.

At the beginning, all Mashiro had was drawing skills. Her plot and storyboards were a mess.

Currently, with the joint guidance of him and Iida Ayano, as well as Mashiro's own hard work, the situation has improved a lot.

But there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Most of the storyboards are taught by teachers and learned by yourself. It is difficult to master them quickly without long-term practice.

After reading the draft in his hand, Ji Qi smiled generously at Zhenbai who had been staring at him like a pet, "Every time you make progress."

These words were neither consolation nor perfunctory; they were earned by the girl through her own efforts.

Mashiro is so talented in art painting. Even though her comics are a little disappointing compared to art, she is still much better than most people.

The most important thing is that she practices and studies continuously every day.

With talent and hard work, it would be strange if you don’t succeed.

Chapter 308 Maki-chan

Standing up, Ji Qi took out a four-frame comic book from the bookshelf and handed it to Mashiro.

This is a reference book he bought specifically for Mashiro. With his current level of cheating, he naturally doesn't need to read this kind of comics, but it's different for Mashiro.

Four-frame comics, which are restricted by the number of frames, are a real test of the author's storytelling skills.

Compress a story into four small frames, and then consider how to cut dialogues and rhythm as much as possible to present a story better and more concisely.

This is what Mashiro practices every day besides drawing comics.

For the next hour, Mashiro spent it drawing and reading, while Himechi took the time to check and guide her while typing.

What Mashiro tried to draw was a short story about the hero and heroine of her manga spitting at each other.

If you want to enhance the delicateness of the emotions, the page is not enough. If you want to describe humor, the lines are dry, not to mention making people laugh, it just looks awkward.

Four-frame comics are much more difficult than normal comics...

Mashiro, who was concentrating on drawing, took the time to complain in her little head.

His eyes were fixed on the computer screen so he didn't hear Mashiro's complaints, and even if he did hear them he wouldn't care.

Because he knew that this girl would do everything silently and devote a lot of time and energy to it.

If an ordinary person faced such a talented and hardworking girl, he would definitely feel inferior.

How should I put it? Mashiro is a girl who can easily influence others. When you see her drawing seriously, you will unconsciously have a feeling of "Ah, I have to work hard too."

Everyone has dreams or things they want to do. When ordinary people are inspired by Mashiro's dazzling figure and work hard to pursue their dreams, they will realize that reality is cruel and not everyone has the conditions and talents like Mashiro.

In the end, you will sadly discover that, regardless of other things, you don't even have half the perseverance of that girl.

When you fail once, if you stay with this extremely outstanding girl again, unless you have a big heart, you will be hurt all the time. Coupled with Mashiro's calmness and indifference on the surface, the strong gap like a thorn in the bone can drive people crazy.

Fortunately, there are no ordinary people around Mashiro. Both Yamada Fairy and Sagiri have made great achievements in their respective fields, and Ji Qi is even more so.

After being in contact with her for so long, he finally understood what kind of girl Mashiro was.

Besides, he has his own opinions and will, and will not be easily shaken by others.

--jingle.

Ji Qi, who was staring at Mashiro's delicate profile, was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

He leaned forward and picked up the phone on the table. The message displayed on it made the corners of his mouth curl up.

"Maki-chan, is there something wrong?"

Confirm and send.

……

……

At the same time, melodious classical piano music echoed in the boudoir of a girl from the Chiyoda family.

A red-haired girl was sitting elegantly in front of a piano with clear black and white lines. Her five fingers were slender and neatly trimmed, as if they were born for the piano. Her fingertips kept moving on the keys, and the melody was like butterflies dancing. Her eyebrows and lips were raised in a happy arc. Anyone could see that the girl playing the piano was very happy.

- Ding dong.

As if she suddenly thought of something, the girl, who was squinting her eyes slightly, suddenly trembled her hand, and the melody lingering in the room suddenly stopped.

Maki's face also turned red.

Although there was no one in the room, she subconsciously looked around.

Playing the piano was the time of her day when she enjoyed herself the most and felt most relaxed, but she never expected that she would think of him...

Rather, I would say that recently whenever I play the piano at home, I can't help but think of that person, and the seamless tacit understanding we had when playing together.

Then, it felt like there were needles under my butt, making me feel very uneasy.

Maki's concentration was interrupted, and she sighed, but she didn't continue playing with that energy.

I always feel that a lot of things have happened recently. If it were a novel, it would probably be over 100,000 words.

She propped her chin up with her hand, and suddenly a lot of thoughts entered her mind. Clips of training with the Muses, shopping together, the awkwardness of watching her concert video in a group, and being teased by them about her relationship with her seniors...

Next to each other?

They have nothing to do with each other! They are just ordinary friends!

Compared to this, if there is any major event, it is that Muse has joined two new members.

Eri Ayase, Nozomi Tojo.

Maki had no impression of the mysterious latter who always smiled, but she knew everything about Eri Ayase.

Because Eri Ayase always goes against Muse.

Relying on the fact that she is the student council president and a senior, she wants to act like an elder and do whatever she wants to them. Really, she will not allow such a thing.

Unexpectedly, after a series of events, Eri Ayase actually joined them!

Well, just like that person said, there really are nine of us.

A prophecy.

Anyway, she didn't have a big opinion on this matter. After getting to know them, she found that Eri Ayase and Nozomi Tojo were unexpectedly easy to get along with, contrary to their appearance.

With her naturally healthy and shiny blonde hair, a model-like slender figure, and a mature and calm temperament, Eri Ayase is actually very popular among the younger students in the girls' school Otonomu.

And...she can also dance ballet.

Zhenji told Ji Qi all these things via text messages a few days ago.

Why did so many girls in the team choose her to post? This was just the evil taste of Nan Qinli and the others...

In short, because of this, Zhenji and Jiqi have been in contact a lot more during this period. In addition to the other party's conversation skills and initiative, Zhenji also acquiesced to the other party calling her name.

This was the first time in her life that a boy other than her father called her by her name.

Even in text messages.

But it is not easy for the proud and shy Maki to do this. Think about it carefully - the first time they met was in a coffee shop two or three months ago. First of all, because of the piano music, Maki had a good first impression of Ji Qi, which led to the subsequent story. This is the right time and place. During this period, Maki still treated Ji Qi in the noble and elegant "Miss of the Nishikino family" mode, and she has not put down her attitude and taken off the mask.

During the transition period, the two of them were initially familiar with each other, and then the campus idol was another turning point. Getting recognition and encouragement from Ji Qi, and gradually revealing her true colors, is the harmony of people. All three are indispensable. As for Ji Qi, he is a creator she likes very much, and the comics are the icing on the cake of their relationship. What really connects the two people's feelings is music and campus idols.

Speaking of this, I have to say that Maki has always had a doubt in her heart.
