In the atrium of the campus, on a bench under the shade of a tree.
"By the way, why do you carry these things with you?!"
This was An Yilun's first reaction when he saw Kato Yusuke taking out a dip pen and a drawing book.
"You'll understand at first glance, of course it's painting."
"Hua Hua...? Weren't we all happily communicating about the plot just now? Isn't this jump too big!?"
"No, this was originally a predetermined plan." Kato Yusuke glanced at An Yilunya, and saw tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, so he paused and said, "And you've pretty much told the plot, naturally.
It’s time to get to work.”
After saying that, he put Dr. Pepper's metal can aside and opened a new page of drawing paper.
Seeing this, An Yilun no longer cared about reminiscing about the story that moved him so much. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "...Hey, are you planning to draw the content of "Metronome of Love"??"
"Tsk, shut up, you damn spoiler." Kato Yusuke smacked his tongue in displeasure, which immediately made the other party tremble, and he subconsciously bowed to apologize.
"I'm really sorry. I was so moved that I couldn't help it..."
At this point, An Yilun suddenly reacted, straightened up and said, "Wait, wait, wait, it was Kato who told you first that you wanted to know what happened next, right...?"
Kato Yusuke ignored him, focusing on the drawing paper on the A4 page, turning the dip pen on his fingertips, and silently imagining the picture in his mind.
As An Yilun also said, he has not finished reading the novel, so he does not plan to draw the content of the book yet, but plans to draw the characters first to get a feel for it.
"As for Sayuka... I guess this is how it feels." Kato Yusuke murmured to himself, making a decision in his heart.
brush--
His expression became serious. From the moment he drew the first line, he seemed to be a completely different person, focused and pure.
The aura exuded from his body made An Yilun on the side forget even to complain.
The breeze rustled the leaves, and the midday sun shone through the dense branches on the young man's body, reflecting circles of transparent light.
He has refreshing short black hair, a quiet and handsome face, and the white shirt on his body without any wrinkles, with a faint smell of laundry detergent.
A crisp rustling sound came from the contact between the tip of the pen and the paper. The boy drew slowly and quickly, without any hesitation when using the pen, and just presented the picture in his mind on the paper bit by bit.
In order to be more in line with the delicate style of the original work, Yusuke Kato used a mari-pen throughout the whole process this time.
From the extremely fine hair to the soft facial contours, the long black hair behind the ears is tied with a white ribbon and is swaying gently with the 'breeze'.
The girl in the picture is wearing a flowing sailor uniform, with a faint smile on her face, and her slender palms are gently placed on her gracefully curved chest.
Under the fluttering skirt, a pair of slender legs wearing black pantyhose are crossed back and forth. They look straight and slender, and one can't help but want to take a closer look.
It fully reflects the true meaning of "legs playing in the year".
…
As time goes by, the content in the picture gradually becomes complete.
When Kato Yusuke stopped the last stroke, the intense line drawing was finally completed.
Among the cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky, a girl with long black hair is standing pretty. The characters and the scenery are perfectly integrated, as if this scene really exists somewhere in the world.
Sayu would probably like this type of thing, right?
Kato Yusuke capped the pen cap of the dip pen and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Gudu...
Strange sounds came from the side.
An Yilun couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the picture on the paper with a shocked face, and said with a trembling voice: "This... what is this...!"
The smooth and graceful lines, the explosive composition with a strong lens feel, the emotional expression on the characters' faces, and the integration with the overall atmosphere.
Everything irritated his nerves.
In the picture, Sayuka jumped out of the paper lightly, like an elf flying among the flowers. She was full of fairy spirit, dreamy and beautiful. An Yilun couldn't help but hold his breath, for fear that his hard breathing would shatter the scene in front of him.
Although it was just a line drawing that had not yet been colored, he had already automatically imagined what the finished work would look like.
"Sayuga...is alive...!" An Yilun also murmured.
Different from the experience when reading novels, this direct visual impact instantly broke down the defense in his heart, so he couldn't help but make a request.
“Please, please, after this work is completed, can you let me put it on my blog for promotion——!”
"Blog?" Kato Yusuke frowned and said, "What do you want to promote?"
Seeing that he didn't refuse, An Yilun was also shocked and explained excitedly.
"Actually, I recently built a fan website called TAKI, which is mainly used to promote the touching work "Metronome of Love". If you can put this work of yours on the homepage, it will definitely attract everyone.
Come and see!!!”
"Is this a real promotion...?" Yusuke Kato glanced at him and said, "Is your website very popular?"
"Well..." An Yilun also immediately looked away, "Because it has only been established not long ago, but I have already promoted it in all the circles I can come into contact with, and I think I will be able to attract a wave of popularity soon.
of!"
"Is that so?" Kato Yusuke said noncommittally: "Let me ask, the circle you are talking about refers to the otaku circle, which is full of people who like two-dimensional beautiful girl works?"
Because there was no tone when he said this, An Yilun couldn't tell his likes and dislikes, so he couldn't help but become nervous.
After all, if you are a traditional art painter, you must not want your works to be classified into the circle of "Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart", right?
"Um... Kato?" An Yilun also pushed up his glasses and asked cautiously: "Do you hate otakus... or something like that?"
After asking this question, his heart immediately rose to his throat, like a defendant waiting for the verdict, with a cold sweat on his face.
"Hate?"
Hearing what An Yirunya said, Kato Yusuke gave him a strange look, then shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I like otakus the best. After all, I am a doujinshi artist."
(So hurry up and buy me a book!)
An Yilun's expression froze on his face. After a long period of silence, his eyes regained their luster, and he opened and closed his mouth as he looked at Kato Yusuke and said.
"You...you...you...what did you say——!?!?"
————————————
It's too late for two updates today, something happened.
About An Yilun: Many book friends seem to hate him and don’t want to read him, so I’ll give you my general thoughts.
Because I want the female protagonist to make her own choice to be with the male protagonist (referring to Yusuke Kato), I still have to write the role of Ahn Yilun, otherwise there will be no comparison.
Book friends who don’t like him can use him as a tool, or a key to unlock the senior line and Eiri line. (To Toriya: Kato Megumi, don’t even think about it!)
The final arrangement for him should be Hashishima Dekai or Sagara Mayu. Of course, he can also be alone. (We will do a poll later)
