Start By Becoming A Mangaka-Chapter 19: Cat and Dog
"Sorry, about that, it's like I'm reprimanded you or something," Yuuki said, but Eriri didn't say anything and looked at him angrily.
Yuuki was waiting for her to calm down.
Eriri took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She didn't expect for Yuuki to be so sharp to know her problem. She looked at him as if a great enemy. She had read his manga and it was very great. That was why she decided to become his assistant.
Eriri looked at him who smoked a cigarette calmly.
"Hey! Don't smoke!" Eriri said.
Yuuki sighed but ignored her.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Eriri said.
"Well, Eriri, is it?" Eriri nodded in response.
"Can you tell me, why are you coming to my home?" Yuuki asked.
"I'm going to work as your manga-assistant," Eriri said but looked at him as if an idiot.
"Well, that's good, but that means, I'm the boss, right?" Eriri thought for a while and nodded.
"It's a boss's right to do whatever he wants whether the employee likes it or not," Yuuki said while smoking his cigarette.
Eriri who heard him was pissed, but she was helpless. Yuuki was his boss and she came here to learn to draw a manga. She had to be patient in front of her boss, even though, she didn't want it.
"Can you tell me, your experience in drawing manga?" Yuuki asked.
"Well..." Eriri started talking and Yuuki listened to her. They talked for a while until they heard a bell ringing.
"Excuse me, It's a pack from manga store!" Yuuki knew his manga drawing tools had already arrived.
"Let's go! Help me to set up the manga studio." Yuuki pulled her.
"Wa-wait, don't pull me!" Eriri walked along with him.
It was her first time to talk so much with a boy beside her childhood friend. Eriri then thought about her childhood friend and became mad.
'Hmph, I won't care about Tomo!' Eriri shook her head and focussed to help Yuuki to set up his manga studio.
Both of them wiped their sweat on their forehead, they had worked together to set up his manga studio.
Yuuki took cold mineral water from his refrigerator and gave it to Eriri.
"Thank's." Eriri took it.
"No problem," Yuuki said.
They took a rest for a while until Eririr asked him.
"When are we gonna start?" Eriri asked.
"There is one more assistant, we need to wait," Yuuki said while smoking his cigarette.
"Can you at least smoke in the outside!!" Eriri complained, but Yuuki ignored her.
Eriri kept complaining to him until they heard a ring of the bell once again.
"Today, there is a lot of people coming." Yuuki shook his head and opened the door.
Eriri was also following him because she was curious who was gonna be her co-worker.
Both of them saw a beautiful girl with short blue hair. She brought a lot of things and looked very heavy.
"Ano, are you Yuuki-sensei?" She asked him.
"Yes, are you my manga assistant?" Yuuki asked.
"Yes, my name is Katsuki Tsubasa, I'm gonna be your manga assistant know," Tsubasa said while posed.
Yuuki massaged his temple, his manga assistant was too weird. The first one like to complain and the last one looked like a shounen manga protagonist. It would be perfect for her to wear a cloak and an eyepatch when she drew a manga.
Yuuki knew the girl in front of him was one of the main characters in the anime 'Comic Girls'. He didn't expect her to become his manga assistant.
"Well, you don't mind if I call you Tsubasa?" Tsubasa nodded in response.
"Let me introduce myself my name is Shuuei Yuuki and this is Sawamura Eriri, she will be your partner," Yuuki said.
"Nice to meet you, Yuuki-sensei, Eriri," Tsubasa said.
"Yes, nice to meet you too." Eriri nodded.
"Then, let's work! We need to draw a lot of chapters today!" Yuuki clapped his hands.
"Yes, Sensei!" Both of them were spirited and wanted to learn a manga skill from Yuuki. They couldn't wait to work.
"Yosh, let's start!
"No, that's wrong, you need to clearly draw the line."
" Use that tones for that scene."
"Redo it, I want you to perfect it when I check it."
"This is how you draw the background."
"Take care of this page, Eriri."
"Use 83 tone this page and scrapped little, then color it with black, Tsubasa."
Yuuki kept instructing them while drawing his manuscript. He had to admit that both Eriri and Tsubasa had quite a great skill in drawing manga. He was glad he didn't have to teach them from the beginning.
His manga drawing skill was great and both Eriri and Tsubasa was still learning his style. Yuuki gave them a lot of advice so his work would be easier.
Yuuki had only drawn 1 chapter for a few hours. If he was alone he could draw faster but he wanted them to learn from him. He was glad that they were a fast learner.
"Let's take a break," Yuuki said.
"Ah, finally a break!" Eriri said.
"Yeah, my dragon power is almost depleted." Tsubasa massaged her shoulder.
"Are you fine with ramen? I'll call the nearest restaurant." Yuuki had remembered a phone number of every restaurant near his apartment. He was too lazy to go out and it was better to have it be delivered.
"I'm fine."
"Me too."
Yuuki nodded and started to call the restaurant. He called the restaurant and placed his order.
"Yes, spicy ramen, miso, and seafood," Yuuki ordered his food until someone entered his apartment.
"Yuuki, are you here? Your other room is being locked." Utaha entered his manga studio.
Yuuki wanted to say something, but Eriri beat him first.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri said angrily while showing her tiger teeth.
"Ara, isn't this Sawamura Spencer Eriri?" Utaha said while crossing her arms.
They looked at each other as if enemies, Yuuki could see a thunder appeared on their eyes.
"Hmm, do you know each other?" Yuuki asked.
"NO!!" Both of them said at the same time.
Both Yuuki and Tsubasa sweatdropped at them.
