Real teaching, but diary flow

"Diary."

"name."

"The King of Diaries"

"name."

"Mr. Diary".

"name."

Stubbornly, she pressed for her name.

It carries a hint of not giving up until the goal is achieved.

"..."

Anyway, nowadays, you can just grab any first-grader, point at him, and ask him his name.

Somewhat helplessly, Asakusa Tetsu gave up on fighting Shiina Mashiro and gave his name:

"Asakusa Toru".

"Asakusa Tetsu." Looking at Asakusa Tetsu's face, she repeated the name, as if trying to memorize the name and appearance. Shiina Mashiro nodded: "I'll remember it."

"...It's best if you don't remember it." Asakusa Tetsu said with a hint of helplessness.

It's not that his name is anything shameful, nor that he dislikes Shiina Mashiro.

If we have to categorize her, Shiina Mashiro could be considered a genius to some extent.

Unable to take care of himself, emotionally blank, yet possessing unparalleled skill.

A favorite among those who love natural beauty products.

But there won't be any problems in her life.

No matter how incapable of taking care of oneself, no matter how naturally naive one's personality may be.

As long as she can still draw, as long as she can still draw.

Her life was smooth sailing.

...The only issue to consider is...

Beware of bad people.

They can't even be considered villains. Insidious villains weigh the pros and cons and consider all sorts of issues; they do have some brains.

But a rotten person is different; a rotten person is rotten from head to toe, decaying and stinking to the core.

Most of them come into this world with a bit of resentment, and their purpose from beginning to end is not to make themselves better, but to make others worse.

Ironically, many of the rotten people in this world seem to be 'leftover women' of advanced age.

It seems to be something that people say all the time.

The least problematic aspect for so-called "leftover women" is usually their age itself.

The real reason she became a "leftover woman" was clearly something else entirely.

That's right, Asakusa Tetsu wasn't just talking about Chabashira Sae, the homeroom teacher of Class D; he was also talking about that good relative who was supposed to be Shiina Mashiro's temporary guardian but instead casually dumped her on someone else.

A thousand stones, a thousand fathoms.

As it stands, Shiina Mashiro is alone, indicating that she came to Advanced Education alone.

Shiina's parents, who live far away in England, know Shiina Mashiro well, and her good roommate is also aware of her problems.

It's obvious that no one would leave Mashiro to travel alone.

In other words, they must have asked someone they felt they could trust for help.

She was trusted, but then betrayed that trust, leaving Shiina Mashiro alone.

There's only that older single woman left.

Ha, so this is a high-level development program for one person.

Given Shiina Mashiro's personality, the danger involved is self-evident.

...They might die on the way.

He should be thankful that Shiina Mashiro arrived safely, or rather, all of Japan should be thankful that Shiina Mashiro was able to reach Advanced Education on her own.

otherwise.

Oh.

In short, the reason why Toru Asakusa responded in this way is quite simple.

trouble.

Deepen relationships, engage in in-depth exchanges, and create so-called bonds.

This kind of intervention in another person's life and interference in their future.

...It's not that it's impossible.

He doesn't dislike Shiina Mashiro; in fact, he once liked her, from a reader's perspective.

However, if that's the case, he will have to take on the responsibility of Shiina Mashiro's life.

This is not just a simple, cool-sounding confession.

Instead, it must be concrete and truly involve intervention in people's lives.

From painting to daily life.

To fulfill her desires, to meet her needs, to dress her, to feed her—this is a responsibility that will never change and will always be placed upon you.

...That's a bit too heavy.

Anyway, as long as we give them a warning or a reminder, and make Shiina's parents pay more attention, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Asakusa Tetsu has always been willing to solve problems for others.

However, there are many ways to solve this problem, and it doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing your life for it...

"Why?" Asakusa Tetsu's thoughts were interrupted by her clear words.

Looking up at him directly, Shiina Mashiro asked, "Why?"

“I’ll remember that,” she said. “I’m your fan.”

She was asking for an answer, but she wasn't so eager to get it, rather than wanting it to be available sooner or faster.

What Shiina Mashiro really wanted to do was 'confide'.

"I love your story, I love your words, I love the campus you depicted and presented to me."

Shiina Mashiro spread her arms, made a circle, and just as the circle closed, she smoothly and naturally grabbed the diary from her hands.

"You have many stories."

“I have a pen.”

"I want to draw them all as comics."

They were saying they wanted to become gods, and they were here for the sake of becoming so-called gods.

But upon meeting Asakusa Tetsu, she seemed to have completely forgotten all those things and poured out her most genuine feelings.

"..." Asakusa Tetsu turned his head away, his gaze meeting Hoshinomiya Chie's on the side of the track. Ignoring his homeroom teacher, he said softly, "You can draw a lot of things."

"You don't necessarily have to find stories about me."

Asakusa Tetsu had considered Shiina Mashiro's situation a long time ago.

Why not find an original script to modify?

With such superb drawing skills but a terrible plot, it's clear that the best approach wouldn't be to start with an original story, but rather to try adapting, retelling, and learning from and understanding how others create 'stories'.

Yes, that's right. Shiina Mashiro's meaning at this moment is very simple: she wants her to be the original scriptwriter.

But if that's the case.

Even if it's not myself, it's okay, right?

To put it bluntly, there's been no interaction or emotional foundation between them, yet they're saying things like they can't live without you.

...It really looks like an emotional scam.

“Step back.” Looking at Asakusa Tetsu’s profile, Shiina Mashiro suddenly uttered this word.

She stood up and moved so close to Asakusa Toru that she could reach him with her outstretched arm.

Then, he raised his hand and pressed the diary in his hand onto Asakusa Toru's body:

You weren't like this before.

"I raised my head," said Shiina Mashiro.

As if she knew him very well, Shiina Mashiro spoke these words as if it were perfectly natural for her to be his childhood friend.

There was a hint of grievance in her words.

"You need to be more free, more spontaneous, more able to do whatever you want, more—"

I don't care about a little bit.

You, who do things that seem meaningless to others in the name of self-satisfaction, should not care about the weight of life you bear.

Shiina Mashiro is unaware of Asakusa Tetsu's past, nor does she know what Asakusa Tetsu did before enrolling in the school.

So, she didn't say that last sentence, or rather, that sentence never even came to mind.

She couldn't say it; she couldn't think of such a thing.

But some people can say that.

“Even less concerned.” Ichinose Honami, who had appeared at some point and had been listening to the conversation for some unknown period, picked up on that statement and added the unspoken half of the sentence, saying:

"As long as it satisfies myself, whatever I do is none of anyone else's business."

Shiina Mashiro is a world-class painter.

Her arrival was highly anticipated, and her presence was closely watched.

At least, as the homeroom teacher for each grade, Hoshinomiya Chie would always keep an eye on her in the audience.

Therefore, when she saw Asakusa Tetsu walk directly towards Shiina Mashiro, Hoshinomiya Chie's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Of course, it wasn't because I was worried about Shiina Mashiro.

Why is she worried about Mashiro? There are plenty of people who would worry about Mashiro; it's not her place to worry.

What she was worried about, of course, was Asakusa Tetsu, the biggest star in her class.

Hey, be careful! Don't hurt or bump into a genius painter.

If something really goes wrong, I really can't protect you, teacher.

Xiao Zhihui is just a lousy part-time worker. The only thing she wants to do in this life is to pester my best friend to death. You really have to lead Class A to crush Class D!

I prayed, worried, and thought about it for a long time.

She decided to bring Ichinose Honami over and have her go up and keep an eye on things.

But to her utter surprise, Xiao Fanbo kept watching.

...They've entered.

"Yes, that's exactly right, that's exactly how it is."

she says.

"There's no need to delve too deeply into the logic behind their actions, nor is it necessary to force a reason or justification." Ichinose Honami took a step forward, seemingly trying to block the gap between Asakusa Toru and Shiina Mashiro:

"He did it simply because he wanted to."

"So, the answer is quite clear, isn't it?" Honami Ichinose said, "He doesn't want to, he refuses."

"It has nothing to do with whether or not he changes; it's simply because he has absolutely no interest in such things."

It's not something as simple and crude as 'Why not have sex?' Shiina Mashiro's 'step back' can't be simply explained by that logic.

Codes of conduct are complex and diverse, and standards for dealing with people and things are ever-changing.
