Chapter 2378 You Are Just Doing It for Yourself

"Giggle..." Faced with Sougo Toma's defense, classmate Rita actually smiled and said: "That's right. Although Mashiro is very innocent, it is precisely because of this that he is a bad guy..."

"Please bean sack..." But before she could finish her words, Sougo Toma said: "I'm really not a good person..."

"Is that so?" Rita said noncommittally: "In that case, I'll call you Bad Guy Classmate. Bad Guy Classmate, you should be able to tell that I'm going to give up on painting, right?"

"Um..." The other party's words actually left Sougo Toma speechless. He had no choice but to do it. He was not blind. How could he not see the other party's entangled yet somewhat relieved mood? Based on the other party's previous speech, how could he, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, fail to see what the other party's mentality was now?

"So..." Fortunately, just when he was in trouble, classmate Rita spoke again: "Only bad classmates would make me admit that I like painting in a roundabout way, so that you can persuade me not to give up painting, right?"

"Eh?" Sougo Toma was really stunned at this moment. Are people today so lucid? Although he could see that the other party wanted to give up painting, what did that have to do with him? In fact, he originally wanted the other party to say impulsively——

"I don't like drawing!"

If the other party said this, then he could reply: "Since you yourself have no interest in painting, why do you impose it on Mashiro?"

Who knows that the other party does not play according to the routine, which means that he has seen too many storms and waves. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been disrupted by the other party and would not know what to say.

"Yes, you guessed it right, I like drawing..." Rita continued: "I like it so much that I even practice to master a small painting skill until I successfully master that skill..."

Hearing this, Doma Sougo, whose train of thought was interrupted, said without any panic: "Since you like painting so much and have even worked so hard for it..."

"Listen to me..." However, before he was halfway through his words, Rita interrupted him again: "It is precisely because of my hard work that I know the gap between myself and Mashiro. I need to practice continuously to master it. If Mashiro were to learn the skills, how long would it take for her to master them?"

"Once?" Sougo Tsuchima said subconsciously.

"That's too exaggerated..." But as soon as he finished his words, Rita said with shame: "It's only one day. If I had to learn the skills that took me a week to practice, it would only take one day... …”

"One day?" Sougo Toma said as he pinched his chin: "Is this okay?" After all, if it were him, it wouldn't be more than once.

"It's okay?" Unfortunately, Rita didn't know where his confidence lay: "Maybe in your opinion, a day is not much different from a week, but do you know what this means? This means that I need to spend seven times. Only with enough energy can I barely catch up with Mashiro, bad guy classmate, if it were you, would you be able to persevere?"

"But Mashiro decided to draw comics..."

"I told you it was because the despicable me encouraged Mashiro..."

"Then why can't you be mean?"

"I can't do it..." Rita classmate answered seriously: "Because I like to draw, so I can't let a genius like Mashiro escape. I can't just watch her bury herself..."

"I see……"

"Do you understand it?"

"I understand..." Sougo Toma smiled again: "I understand that what you call doing good for Zhenbai is actually just doing it for yourself..."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, classmate Rita was startled at first, and then she said as if she was offended: "What nonsense are you talking about? Because of Mashiro, I even gave up my favorite painting, you That I’m doing it for myself?”

"Huh?" Sougo Toma laughed again: "You said you gave up your favorite painting because of Mashiro? Then may I ask, did Mashiro ask you to do this?"

"..."

"I believe that Mashiro never asked you to give up painting, right?" Before the other party could speak, Sougo Doma said quietly again: "Even if Mashiro knew that you had the idea of ​​giving up painting, she would still persuade you. Even encourage you..."

"..."

"You said studying with Mashiro would be stressful?" Sougo Toma continued: "Because no matter how hard you try, the other party will stand in front of you like a mountain, and you can never see the top..."

"This is a fact..." I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience. Although Rita was defending, her voice was much softer.

"Oh, according to you, as long as there is a peak standing there in an industry, as long as other people feel that they can't climb that peak no matter how hard they try, they should automatically choose to give up, right?"

"I……"

"Then let me ask you another question..." Classmate Rita seemed to want to say something, but unfortunately, Sougo Toma didn't give her a chance to speak: "If your talent is better than Mashiro now, then what do you think Mashiro Will you give up painting?"

"It's impossible for this kind of thing to happen! How could I possibly be better than Mashiro..."

"Why is it impossible?" Sougo Doma interrupted the other party's speech again: "You said that it takes you seven days to master the skills that you can master in one day..."

"What's the problem?" Rita couldn't help but asked, "If that's not the case..."

"Tsk, tsk..." Before she could finish her words, Sougo Toma shook his index finger and said, "That's not right..."

"What?"

"I said what you said is wrong..." Sougo Doma emphasized again: "Why don't you tell me how much of your seven days have been spent on practice?"

"Do you think I was lazy or distracted during this period?" These words made Rita feel offended again.

"Isn't this a fact?" Sougo Toma asked rhetorically: "If I remember correctly, you also served as Mashiro's owner, right?"

"Ahem..." Upon hearing this, Rita-san coughed twice subconsciously: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just responsible for taking care of Mashiro..."

"Huh?" Sougo Toma suddenly wanted to hit someone: "Then why is Mashiro here..."

"Ahem..." Classmate Rita coughed twice again: "You should be very clear about Mashiro's situation. To be honest, I just wanted to use this to remind Mashiro's cousin..."

"Forget it..." It's not that Sougo Toma is being generous, but that he really has no right to blame the other party. After all, Mashiro followed him back home by some mistake, and he didn't come looking for him in the first place. his:

"However, since you have mentioned Mashiro's situation, are you who are responsible for taking care of her really devoting yourself wholeheartedly to the practice?"

"Please bean sack..." In this regard, Rita-san said: "Although taking care of Mashiro is indeed troublesome, it doesn't cost me too much energy..."

"Haha..." Sougo Toma smiled: "Then have you ever heard of such a saying? Time is like a woman's evil moon..."
