Chapter 190 Takahashi’s Complaint and Confession

Time to the afternoon, Ayano this time to the countryside with a lot of paper and drawing tools, this curiosity about creating a new thing also let Ayano and Hayakawa first draw the character drawing, Lina as a model, a good drawing plus qualified persona, is the biggest highlight of the game, this point is clear to the two people, the manga industry before there is because of the good-looking drawings, and the sale of hand-me-downs peripheral case, the actual The actual comics are simply unappreciated.

Lina was quite energized at first, but as the pose persisted longer and longer, the smile on her face stiffened, “Awwww ……”

“Ah! I’m sorry, take a break, Lina.” Hayakawa was startled, and quickly reached out to lower Lina’s raised hands, and only then did Lina, with her “professional behavior”, sit down helplessly on the tatami mat, and after resting for more than ten seconds, she climbed over, and when she looked at the drafts that the two older sisters drew on the low table, she immediately let out a cry of surprise.

Ayano then picked up the draft in her own hand and smiled, “Beautiful, isn’t it~”

“Yes! Sensei’s drawing skills are indeed much better than mine!” Hayakawa responded positively.

“I told you that you don’t have to call me teacher in your daily life.”

“Ha …… sorry, accidentally ……” Hayakawa laughed awkwardly.

Arai Natsuki snickered when she heard that, “Are you still calling Ayano-sensei, Hayakawa? It sounds so strange.”

Hayakawa explained.

“Hmph, that’s right, I’m a real jp presidential serialized manga artist! It’s only reasonable to be honored as a teacher!” Ayano crossed her arms and held her head up triumphantly.

“This is not just the beginning, in case the quality of the follow-up slips and is forced to be cut ……”

“Ahhhhh! Natsuki you’re not allowed to say such things!” Ayano’s gaze was stunned and she immediately got up, pouncing on Natsuki Aoi with her hands open.

“Just kidding, continue, you continue, Ayano-sensei.” Aoi Natsuki pressed down on her arm, the phrase Ayano-sensei instantly soothed her, and with a hum she turned around and went back to her original position to continue painting.

Takahashi Mito was always sitting on the side and fuming, because now there was absolutely nothing for her to do, she had taken a dubbing job in a blur, and she had little interest in games or anything else, so when she saw a few people chatting so happily, she was listening to them in a half-understood manner.

“That, that ……” tried to strike up a conversation, but couldn’t find anything new to talk about, in itself Ryuusakura was just as idle as she was, but Ryuusakura seemed quite curious about game making, sitting next to her and watching Ayano draw, and giving some guidance on a couple of moves, what’s with this What’s with the happy atmosphere.

Ayano looked at a few of Long Sakura’s martial arts moves, and suddenly thought of an idea: “Right, since we have such a good martial arts instructor in Long Sakura, we can totally incorporate martial arts aspects into the game, let’s say …… Chinese Kung Fu! If we use martial arts elements in the storyline or in the stand-up comics, it should be quite popular!”

“Chinese kung fu, my grandfather’s former friend is the top master of Chinese kung fu, I also learned a little bit of fur when I was a child, Chinese kung fu is often difficult to start, proficient moves after a hundred changes, out of the ordinary, I have always respected Chinese kung fu, if you can promote the culture of martial arts, I think it is a good idea.” Long Sakura said bluntly.

“Real martial arts, not faked tripe, wow! Hayakawa, it’s exciting to think about isn’t it!” Ayano snapped her eyes to Hayakawa, whose gaze was equally surprised.

RPG game in Japan production, the selection of materials will choose the big hot air horror theme, so that the development of the plot is more good control, and galgame game more or will choose Python to produce, each software will use its strengths and weaknesses exist, and then up is more complex 3d game, that part is not a person can be independently accomplished, may be a simple character movement and shooting action will take two to three months, and the subsequent return is also very small.

The attraction of a game is nothing but the theme and plot, and as Chinese kung fu with its mysterious power of the East is undoubtedly a very popular content for the nation, the introduction of various types of martial arts, this may really be a good choice.

Hayakawa agreed with this in her heart, as she loved playing the Souls series when she played the game itself, and epic plots plus adventures were her favorite subject matter.

“So the direction of our story is adventure well ……” Ayano cupped her chin as she continued to think.

“How about the story also follows the concept of the undead aka cellular people?”

“Immortals fighting Chinese kung fu? Think about how the image feels so weird na.” Ayano narrowed her eyes.

A group of people actively give their own suggestions, this whole afternoon ended up being treated as a game talk session, without realizing it, it had already come to five o’clock, Aoi Natsuki got up and prepared to go and burn the rice, looking at the next side of the brain cells don’t know how many dead Ayano whole body weakly slumped down on the short table, obviously too many opinions, resulting in her head is now like a paste.

Looking around, Aoi Natsuki suddenly realized that Takahashi wasn’t there, when did she disappear, she hadn’t been paying attention to it, and looking towards the outside of the house he couldn’t see anyone either, forget it, better to burn the dinner first, he turned back towards the kitchen and busied himself for an hour, and with Ryuusakura’s help, he was finally able to finish the dinner, Grandpa came back halfway and said that he had to go to his friend’s house for a drink, and came back later, and he didn’t have to burn it in for him for today’s dinner.

Aoi Natsuki carried the bowl of vegetables out the door, the rest of the girls were still listless, their drawings were scattered all over the place, Ayano’s right hand holding the outlining brush was still pressed against a piece of manuscript paper, it seemed that she was also burnt out.

“Eat, pack it all up, one bite won’t make a fat man, take your time.” Aoi Natsuki reminded, game production is a big project, and it sounds like a very powerful specialty, I’m sure it must be a very significant help in improving the specialty points.

It’s one step closer to the possibility of Hayakawa’s promotion to S rank, huh?

Aoi Natsuki smiled faintly, carrying the bowl of food, urging several people to clear the table, and then rested the bowl on the low table, when he saw that Takahashi had already returned, sitting in his seat with a forlorn demeanor, but Aoi Natsuki still breathed a sigh of relief from the inside.

Summer days in the countryside were particularly hot, and Natsuki Aoi brought down an old standing fan from upstairs that rattled when he turned it on, but it thankfully worked and blew out a very cool breeze, and both Rina and Ayano were barefoot, eating and shaking their bodies at the same time.

In the countryside meat and vegetables are not in short supply, self-sufficiency, but also fresh, compared with the pace of the big city, slowed down a lot, eat a few days of fresh pork, Aoi Natsuki feel Lina’s face are quite round.

It really was the right trip to the countryside.

After the meal, Ayano volunteered to come into the kitchen for the first time to help with the dishes, and Ryuzakura then walked in as well, instead removing the apron from Natsuki Aoi and pushing him out.

“Alright, alright, you should rest more too Natsuki, let us both do this little thing.” Ayano gave an ok gesture towards him.

Aoi Natsuki smiled helplessly, there’s no way, so let them be, walking down the hall, Hayakawa was still concentrating on thinking about the game production, Sakurajima was sitting in the center of the room, calmly sipping his tea, his dense and long eyelashes fanned out, his afterglow occasionally paying attention to the paintings under Hayakawa’s hand.

Strange, why don’t we see Takahashi again?

Aoi Natsuki looked around, the house is so big, it seems not in the house, could it be that he went back to his room? He walked out of the hall door, stood outside on the wooden corridor, the courtyard is still silent at night, the bare courtyard has just been cleaned up, at a glance I can’t see a person, it’s hard not to really go upstairs.

Suddenly, he heard a subtle sound of sniffling coming from the right side, he followed the source of the sound, due to the darkness of the light, he was vaguely able to see a dark shadow behind a wooden pillar, walking up to take a closer look, only then did he realize that Takahashi was actually sitting right here, her body hidden behind this large square wooden pillar, and if it weren’t for a little bit of moonlight, he would not have been able to spot her.

Natsuki Aoi was about to make a sound, but then she saw her left arm hugging the pillar, a soft sob breaking in her voice.

Is she …… crying? And what’s wrong with her?

How did the strong Takahashi Mito turn into a crybaby?

Or is that actually her real personality?

Aoi Natsuki stood a meter or so to her side, and the other party didn’t notice herself.

To make a sound? Or to leave her alone?

Aoi Natsuki couldn’t decide what to do, so she stood back, and as time passed by, Takahashi Mito finally straightened up, sniffing hard, as if there was a desire to get up and go back, and turning her head, the first time she saw Aoi Natsuki beside her, she was shocked, and her whole body shuddered along with it, and her left hand retracted, instinctively protecting her body.

“Eh! Aoi!”

“Well …… it’s me.” Natsuki Aoi compensated.

Takahashi Mito’s eyes became very complicated, sharp with anger, as if he had done something.

“How long have you been standing back there?”

“Just for a little while ……”

“Watching me cry and doing nothing about it?” Takahashi Mito’s tone was a little punchy.

“What’s wrong with you again?” Natsuki Arai let out a long breath, her tone turning soft.

Takahashi Midu glared at him, followed closely by her head turning back and lowering slightly, “None of your business.”

Nice guy.

Aoi Natsuki pursed her lips and frowned, then came around to her right side and said half-spittingly, “I was afraid that this was your attitude, that’s why I didn’t come forward, if you’re unhappy about something, you should just say it, maybe we can help you out.”

Takahashi Mito sniffled again and turned her head away, looking still angry, I thought she was going to start talking about her difficulties, but I didn’t expect her to start crying out immediately afterward, her whole face completely turned into a big crying face, the tears of sadness couldn’t be stopped, how aggrieved should it be, ah?

Aoi Natsuki really can’t see a girl crying, how big can it be, crying so sadly, slowly approaching, sitting half a meter next to her, carefully consoling, “Don’t cry, I’ll know even less how to help you solve the problem when you cry, what ideas do you have though, just tell me.”

“Wooooooooooooo! I’m so sad! Oooooooh!” The more Takahashi Mito cried, the more he wanted to cry, and it was the first time Aoi Natsuki had ever heard someone hang on to I’m so sad, and he was now completely baffled.

In the next second, Takahashi Midu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, suddenly looked at him, pouted, and stared at him for a while.

What the hell? Is it hard to believe that it’s my fault? What did I do wrong again?

“Do you not care about me at all?” Takahashi Midu suddenly asked this question.

Natsuki Arai froze, how was she going to answer that question, there was always a friend level of caring.

“How.”

“Then why is it that whatever Hayakawa says is what she says, and when she says she’s making a game, a bunch of you help her out like this! Everyone contributes and is so on board! And me? Everything I say you think I’m just messing around! Do you know how much it hurt when I broke my leg? Now look at it, look at it, it’s still scabbed over!”

Like a little girl, Takahashi Midu stretched her right leg out to Aoi, resting it directly on his thigh, pointing her finger at the scab on her knee as she sobbed and cried.

“呜呜呜呜，我好委屈啊！”

Mito Takahashi tilted his head back and continued to cry, still ugly.

As if the people inside the house heard the cries from outside, they went out of the hall door one after another, looking for the sound, and all of them were shocked when they saw Takahashi Mito crying.

Ayano took the brunt of pointing at Natsuki, “Natsuki! Why did you make my sister cry again!”

A look of indignation ensued as he clenched his hands into fists and crossed his arms.

“No, it’s not, I ……” Aoi Natsuki didn’t even know how to explain.

Before he could react, Takahashi Mito jumped straight off the porch and into the courtyard, striding straight towards the door.

“Takahashi! Where are you going?”

Takahashi Midu stood still and her tone became low, “I don’t want to stay here anymore, I want to go home.”

“It’s almost eight o’clock now, you can’t get back this late.” Dragon Sakura said in a high voice.

Takahashi Mito looked like she was holding her breath, standing still for a while, slowly turning around, tears still flowing out of her eyes, looking straight at Aoi Natsuki: “You also think I’m messing around, don’t you?”

“I didn’t, and don’t be angry, if you have anything to say we can all sit down and talk slowly.” Aoi Natsuki tried to pacify.

“I don’t want to stay here! I don’t even know why I’m here? Is it to play house? A bunch of us came to the countryside with you, do you think it’s really for fun! Ryuusakura, Ayano, Hayakawa, Sakurajima, and me, which one of us didn’t come here because we like you? Bullshit entertainment! If you like Hayakawa so much, why, why haven’t you confessed to Hayakawa! She’ll say yes to you 100% too! What the hell are you waiting for! Are you playing with her? Or are you playing me? You know I like you, you know it perfectly well! But you don’t care about me at all! Okay, I’m done, I’m done playing house with you guys! I’m going home!”

Takahashi Mito’s long string of heartbreaking words shocked everyone in the room.

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the courtyard, Aoi Natsuki saw this and rushed to chase after him, his head also drifted, just now Takahashi’s words continuously flashed back in his mind, it turns out that in Takahashi’s heart there are so many thoughts, the previous him did not even notice.

As for Hayakawa and Ayano, shocked as they were to hear those words, they immediately prepared to go out and chase after the person, but just as they thought of going after them, they were stopped by Sakurajima.

“Let Aoi take care of this, since Takahashi is aggravated in her heart, we’d just be irritating her if we went, so it’s better to stay here and wait for them to come back.”

“But ……” Hayakawa’s eyes were red and his hands were clenched.

Dragon Sakura stepped forward at that point to pat her on the shoulder and shake her head as well, Dragon Sakura’s thoughts were the same as Sakurajima’s.

This matter can only be resolved by Natsuki.

……

The village roads in the countryside are unlit, and with the help of the moonlight Aoi Natsuki loses track of Takahashi without paying attention, but hearing her talk about going home, that must mean heading for the village entrance, literally! Like a child!

Aoi Natsuki frowned slightly, jogging and looking around, still shouting Takahashi’s name under his breath, after searching for five minutes without seeing anyone, his heart began to become anxious, and that’s when he wished so much that that mysterious cow could appear again and show him the way.

Until the place where the vehicle is parked, there is no one, looking out over the entire lime road, should not have gone this, and then turned back to look for more, until the walk on the trail, ears once again ringing that familiar cries, he looked around, and soon saw the high bridge on the left side of the trail at the very bottom of the slope, she was an accidentally slipped down?

Aoi Natsuki’s body balance lowered, along the slope a little bit sideways down, about four or five meters away, and the bottom is already someone’s home courtyard wall as well as a pile of dead tree branches, where he saw Takahashi Maidu, crying like a tearful person, his body is still full of broken grass and dirt, see Aoi close, immediately broke defense again, “How come I’m so unlucky ah! Wooooooooo.”

How come I’m the one with all the bad luck?

Aoi Natsuki noticed her crying like that, and what was still a bit angry was suddenly exasperated, not knowing what to say.

Forced to control his emotions, coughed twice, and took two more steps closer, “Walking at night is dangerous, don’t want to die, hey, anyway, is the person okay? I see the crying strength is still so good.”

“呜呜呜嗯呜呜呜，还，还，还，好……”高桥美都一抽一抽地回应。

“Really aggravated, cry it all out if you want to, and I’m not leaving, I’ll just wait here for you to finish crying, okay?”

“呜呜呜呜真，真，真的吗？”

“Hmm.” Aoi Natsuki narrowed his eyes and looked at the corner of the wall, leaning his body over and crouching down, the courtyard wall just forming an angle with this slope, he laid straight up.

Takahashi Midu saw this and was able to control her emotions a little bit, but in reality, this was just the calmness on the eve of the storm, and in the next moment, Takahashi twisted around and jumped into Aoi Natsuki’s arms, bawling her eyes out.

The close proximity of the high-power “sound” also startled Natsuki Arai, whose ears were being pushed to their limits.

“Cry, cry, cry ……”

Mito Takahashi completely unleashed himself, completely like a child, grabbing his collar with both hands, just not going to let him run, wailing the whole time, jerking his head up after ten seconds or so, snotty water still coming to connect with his shirt, and she completely ignored it.

Staring at Natsuki Aoi, she wailed, “What the hell is going on? Weren’t you supposed to like me in the beginning? Inviting me to your house for dinner, helping me raise Yoshi-sauce, talking to me so much, why did everything change since that birthday party! You suddenly became so cold to me, do you know how devastated I was at that time?

Reaching out, he hammered him hard in the chest.

Natsuki Aoi was silent, he also heard sincerity in her tone, while being surprised, this timeline made him feel amazed.

“Is it hard to believe that you’ve liked me since then?”

“Well …… sort of have a good feeling about it.” Takahashi Mito was suddenly asked a rhetorical question, and all of a sudden her cheeks blushed.

“So it is.”

“What do you mean it turned out that way! Do you know how sad I am!” Takahashi Mito continued to cry, what had been happening, her thoughts, her feelings, every time period she wanted to tell him word for word.

Aye! She was over the top before, but she’s been punished enough for what she’s been through, right? Can’t she, can’t she, can’t she see herself in a whole new light and care for herself now that she’s a completely different person!

All told, there were many events he had never even heard of, like the mashed potato follow-up, the origin of the zoo ticket, etc., the more he heard, the more pitiful he felt.

“So, there are still so many things.” It was as if Aoi Natsuki was listening to a heavenly fantasy, but really, often reality was even more bizarre than fantasy.

The entirety of his chest was wet from crying as Takahashi Metu’s emotions finally managed to get under control.

It’s good to have cried and let go.

“Do I really have no chance at all? Natsuki.”

When Natsuki’s name came out of Takahashi Mito’s mouth, he instantly felt his brain go numb, as well as the other party’s big, pitifully foul eyes, the thin shirt, the extremely close proximity of his body, this, this ……

Aoi Natsuki didn’t answer directly, and couldn’t really look away, twisting his head.

But it seemed to read another meaning in Takahashi’s eyes, and all of a sudden his face showed joy.

“For once …… you haven’t rejected me outright yet.”

Aoi Natsuki could feel the other party’s body close, gulped, and then the rest of his eyes looked at her, his mood had recovered a lot, seeing her happy, Aoi Natsuki’s hanging mood also steeply relaxed, his body sunk a little bit more in this pinch point: “Let’s go back, just so you can apologize to the others, okay?”

Takahashi Mito held her head up, blinked her eyes, tried to squeeze out the last bit of tears, wiped them away with her fingers, and smiled weakly at Aoi Natsuki, “Mmm!”
