Chapter 209 Look Back (Part 2)

After Fujino returned home, he ignored the string of water stains left on the floor, picked up the sketchbook again, and started drawing.

This time, she was no longer confused because she finally found a reason to draw.

Fujino and Kyomoto became partners and became a combination. Fujino was responsible for drawing the characters and conceiving the plot, while Kyomoto was responsible for drawing the background and optimizing the picture. The two of them painted together no matter whether it was cold or hot. They discussed each other and studied painting skills together. They were together all the time.

Finally, their joint efforts bore fruit, and their painting won the second prize and was published in a magazine.

The two little girls were very happy after receiving the royalties. They discussed using the money to travel.

Kyomoto is a person with social phobia. She doesn't even dare to go to places with more people. She only draws comics because she has nothing to do at home. Fujino took her everywhere, walking on the street, eating crepes, watching movies, shopping, and visiting the library. Kyomoto, who had never dared to leave the room, walked out of the room for the first time.

The scene is constantly changing again, and with the moving music, the friendship of the two girls is presented through the changing pictures.

Really nice character setting. The glasses girl thought in her heart.

A person who is good at painting meets someone who is more talented than himself. He first inspired his fighting spirit and decided to work hard to practice his painting skills, but found that he could not surpass him no matter what.

Frustrated, he gave up painting, but found that the other person was actually his fan, and the two established a friendship.

What an unexpected reversal. The person who wrote this story is not simple. The so-called experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement. In the eyes of ordinary viewers, this is just a bland story. But the girl with glasses noticed that under the seemingly plain plot, there were extremely delicate emotional expressions hidden.

For example, Fujino was unwilling to accept compliments from others since he was a child, but found out that someone could draw better than him; he was disappointed that he could not surpass the other person no matter what; and he was shocked when he found that the person he had been chasing was also chasing him; There is also the joy of building friendships between people with different personalities and pursuing the same goal...

In just ten minutes, the author successfully aroused the audience's emotional ups and downs several times, which is really not something ordinary people can do. The key is that when the author does this, the general audience cannot notice it at all.

They will only think that this story is very boring, but very interesting.

How could they see through the turbulent undercurrent beneath the calm water.

The girl with glasses continued to read, but at this moment, the plot took another big turn.

After the combination of Fujino and Kyomoto published many short comics, they gained the trust of the editorial department and were qualified to serialize full-length comics.

Fujino was very happy, but Kyomoto remained silent.

After leaving the editorial office, Kyomoto stood under a tree and said to Fujino: "I'm sorry, I want to apply for the University of Fine Arts... so I can't participate in the serialization..."

Fujino was surprised and a little sad, but he still said stiffly: "It's too sudden... but it's not a big deal. Anyway, Kyomoto, you only draw some background pictures, so you can leave these to your assistant..."

"It's too much." Someone in the auditorium couldn't help mumbling, "How can you talk like that."

Some viewers were completely moved by the film. Fujino continued: "It doesn't make sense to go to an art university, right? I heard that you can't find a job after graduating from the art department."

Some art students in the audience changed their colors one after another.

"And you have to talk to a large group of strangers, Jingben, you can't even go to the convenience store by yourself, can you?"

"I don't want to rely on Fujino anymore, I want to live on my own strength..."

"It's so boring to live like this! It's meaningless at all!"

"It won't be boring..."

Fujino was in a hurry, she hoped that Jingben could go on with her forever, but she didn't know how to persuade the other party, so she could only keep denying Jingben's ideas.

But Kyomoto was uncharacteristically determined.

“Why do you have to go to an art college?”

"Because... I want to draw better."

The two parted ways, and suddenly there were sighs from the audience.

The glasses girl suddenly realized something, and turned to look at the other audience around her.

Unprecedented concentration...

When the girl with glasses watched other movies before, the audience in the audience were a little half-hearted, chatting while watching the movie, and some even read magazines, but this movie made everyone put aside other things and focus on on the screen.

To make the audience fully immersed is actually what a movie should do, but in fact there are very few people who can really do it, and it is not easy to do it.

The glasses girl opened the notebook on her lap, wrote down the words "suddenly looking back", and then wrote her own score after suddenly looking back: A+.

When she looked at another A+ movie "Lucky" in the book, she thought for a moment, and added a plus sign after "Suddenly Looking Back".

A++.

The reason why it is not rated S is also out of caution, because according to the internal rules of the group, an S rating means that the group will cast its precious vote for this movie.

Although the glasses girl thinks this movie is good, but there may be better ones, it is better to be cautious.

Fujino started her career as a cartoonist. She was sitting on a chair, with only her back in the picture. She was sitting on a desk in front of the window, and the scenery outside the window kept changing to express time.

The camera showed another close-up of the bookshelf, which was already filled with single volumes of comics created by Fujino. She is now a cartoonist.

On this day, when she was painting, a voice suddenly sounded on the TV:

"Repeat, at noon today, on the campus of the University of Fine Arts in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, a male homeless man was found holding an axe-like weapon and slashing students. After the incident, the Yamamoto Prefectural Police arrested the man. Therefore, the case The extent of the casualties is unknown..."

The glasses girl's pupils trembled slightly, finally, the big one came...

The paintbrush fell from his fingers. Fujino tremblingly took out his phone book and tried to contact Kyomoto, but what was waiting was his mother's call.

Mom told her the bad news on the phone.

The phone receiver fell off, and a picture suddenly appeared on the screen. In the picture, Fujino and Kyomoto were walking side by side in the snow. Through the characters’ hairstyles, you can tell how they looked a few years ago.

Fujino said to Kyomoto: "If we can start a serialization, we will have to use stronger painting skills to meet the challenge!"

Kyomoto whispered: "I draw very slowly. It would be great if I could draw faster..."

"As long as your painting skills improve, the speed will naturally become faster."

At that time, Fujino said casually, but this sentence was remembered by Jingben.

"Then I have to draw better, just like Fujino!"

Fujino finally realized why Kyomoto insisted on taking the art university entrance examination.

Looking at the phone book that fell on the ground, Fujino's face was ashen, and he couldn't even shed tears.

The TV station reported news about the attack. The murderer broke into the university and carried out indiscriminate killings. In the end, 12 people died and 3 were injured. And Jingben was one of the dead.

The defendant confessed that the reason for the murder was that the paintings he posted on the Internet were plagiarized.

The glasses lady's pupils couldn't help but dilate, this is what...

By the way, the murderer is played by Choji Ohno.

Fujino stopped the manga series at hand and went to Kyomoto's memorial service.

She came again to the place where she met Jingben for the first time.

The familiar corridor, the familiar door, the familiar drawing books piled on both sides like hills.

She picked up a comic book and flipped through it casually, and out of it came out the four-frame comic she had drawn.

Box 1: Don’t come out! Don't come out!

Second frame: Come out! come out faster!

The third frame: the finals of the World Home Squat Competition! The current number one is Kyomoto who is far ahead!

The fourth frame is Kyomoto who has turned into a skeleton.

Fujino looked at the four boxes in his hand, and suddenly a tear fell on it.

Fujino, who had been unable to cry since learning of Kyomoto's death, finally shed her first tear.

"Blame me...it's all my fault..."

"It's all because I...drew such comics at that time..."

"Jingben is dead, it's all because of me... Huh? It's all because of me? Yes, it's all because of me... It's all because of me... Haha..."

"If Kyomoto hadn't been let out of the room...she wouldn't have died...why...why do I have to draw..."

Fujino burst into tears, and his whole person suddenly became incoherent, as if he was crazy.

"Even if you draw it, it's useless!" Fujino tore the four-frame comic in his hand to pieces in a rage.

The first frame of the torn four-frame comic flew through the crack of the door just like before...

The comic fragment suddenly fell into a house filled with sunlight.

The camera zoomed out, and Jingmoto, who was still a junior high school student, suddenly turned around and noticed the shredded paper.

The torn comic traveled through time and space, returning to the day when the two of them first met.

Kyomoto picked up the comic fragments and saw the words "Don't come out! Don't come out!"

And Fujino's voice sounded from behind the door: "Is anyone home? I'm here to deliver a graduation certificate!"

Jingben did as he was told, without going out or making a sound.

"I put my diploma here."

The Fujinos and Kyomotos of this world have not crossed paths.

But in this world, Kyomoto still entered the Academy of Fine Arts. She accidentally saw an introduction to the Academy of Fine Arts in a magazine, so she entered the Academy of Fine Arts again to study.

The world line has changed, but Kyomoto seems to be heading towards his destined destiny.

On this day, Jingben was painting in the studio, and a man holding an ax walked in.

"Hey, what about you, you..."

"Um?"

"There was a painting at the exhibition a while ago. It's very similar to mine, right? Right? You copied my work, right?!"

"..."

"Isn't it ahhh?!"

"Look down on me! Everyone looks down on me! That's obviously my painting!"

The man raised his ax and was about to chop down Kyomoto.

Seeing that the tragedy was about to happen again, there was a sound of footsteps behind the man, and a strong figure kicked the man on the back.

The visitor is Fujino! This is the world where Fujino didn’t draw comics, but learned karate!

Fujino subdued the man in three attempts, but was slightly injured. When he was tied to an ambulance stretcher and taken away, he was still chatting and laughing with Kyomoto.

"I was practicing karate next door, and I heard that a suspicious person came here. So I came here to have a look, and it turned out that he was not a good person! I went up and did a flying kick, but I didn't expect that my hand was also broken. Hey , it's really embarrassing..."

At this time, Fujino's student ID card fell. Kyomoto picked it up and found that the other person's name was "Fujino".

"Teacher Fujino? Are you Mr. Fujino?"

"Eh?"

"When I was in junior high school, your works were often serialized in the school newspaper! I was a fan!"

"Haha, what a coincidence."

"But Mr. Fujino, why don't you continue drawing?"

Fujino was lying on the stretcher, looking at Kyomoto, and suddenly gestured, "I have continued to draw recently. If I can get a serial, you can be my assistant!"

Their story continues.

After returning home, Kyomoto drew a four-frame cartoon about today's experience. At this time, a gust of wind blew the cartoon away, passed through the crack in the door, and blew it outside...

Unable to accept the reality due to the death of his friend, Fujino was sitting paralyzed outside the door. Suddenly, he noticed a note flying out from the crack of the door.

Fujino picked up the four-frame comic and was suddenly a little surprised. The comic even mentioned his name "Fujino"...

Fujino quickly opened the door and walked in.

There are all kinds of messy drawings in the room, the bookshelf is filled with his comic books, and there is a reader return list on the table. That guy Kyomoto votes for himself in every issue...

What was hanging on the door was a piece of clothing. The piece of clothing that he signed on the back of Kyomoto had the word "Fujino" written in big letters on it.

"To be honest, I don't like drawing comics at all."

"It's very troublesome and not fun at all. Sometimes I can't finish painting even if I work hard for a day."

"But if that's the case, why do you still paint?"

The past events reappeared in Fujino's mind scene by scene, and also replayed on the screen scene by scene.

When they spent a long time drawing a satisfactory cartoon, Kyomoto’s eyes were filled with little stars when he held the drawing;

When they got their first royalties, they were eating and drinking around;

Watching them laughing while drawing...

Fujino looked at the comics he had collaborated with Kyomoto on, and tears kept falling.

Finally, she stood up and walked out of the room.

She returned to her workshop again and started today's painting work.

From now on, she will continue to draw with Kyomoto's share.

The video ends.

A line of words floated on the screen: look back.

The movie ended, but the whole theater was silent.

The glasses girl's face was covered with tears, and she muttered absently: What are you doing, this movie is just...
