Chapter 2397 What Gave You the Illusion that You Are No Longer Jealous?

"..." Rita was eventually driven away, or she ran away, because she really couldn't focus on painting like Mashiro. Therefore, in the face of Sougo Doma's accusation :

"In my opinion, even if you don't use Mashiro as an experiment, you just use her as a tool to fulfill your dreams. Of course, it may also be a tool to escape. As long as you tell yourself that you can't surpass Mashiro no matter what you do, you can Lie down with peace of mind and even give up...

What's more, Mashiro can become the object of your common hatred. Because of Mashiro's existence, everyone will give up painting and leave. Well... To be honest, I want to ask a question, what is your reason for learning to paint? ? If you give up painting just because you can't compare with Mashiro, have you ever really enjoyed painting?

If you like to draw, how could you fail just because Mashiro is good at drawing? If you only learn to draw to gain ranking and glory, then I really want to ask you, Rita-san, is this what you call the artist's style? "

Rita didn't know how to refute these words that spoke directly to her heart: "..."

"If this is what artists are like..." Sougo Toma continued: "Then I probably won't let Mashiro go back. After all, I think it's dirty to spend a lifetime of confusion to become such an artist!"

Hearing this, classmate Rita couldn't hold back: "No, no, artists are not..."

"Oh, then why did you give up painting?" However, before she could finish her words, Sougo Doma interrupted again: "Please think carefully before answering. If a person doesn't even know what he likes, If you don’t dare to say it out loud, and even if you give up something you hate, you have to blame it on Mashiro, then I don’t think Mashiro will be happy with you..."

Rita's classmate couldn't help but run away after poking at her every word.

But as soon as she reached the door, she was confused again, because even she didn't know why she was so persistent in taking Mashiro back. Is it because Mashiro was instigated by her? Or is it that her deepest thoughts are the same as what the man said, that she just wants to use Mashiro as a shield and just wants to impose her dreams on Mashiro?

However, as soon as she thought about it, she immediately shook her head - no, no, how could she be so despicable? She just wanted to make up for her mistakes...

But just as she shook her head, Mashiro's voice came to her ears again: "Rita?"

"Mashiro..." After hearing this, classmate Rita quickly turned around and said, "I'm not... eh? Are you?"

"Kasumigaoka Shiu..." Well, the person who came was not Mashiro, but Kasumigaoka Shiu who had just gotten up: "You are a tenant here, right? I remember you are Mashiro's friend, Rita, right? Why are you standing at the door? "

"Tenant?" Rita said thoughtfully as soon as she finished speaking, "So you and Mashiro live together?"

"That's right..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said while stretching: "Is there any problem?"

"Hey..." Probably because the other party's voice was very similar to Mashiro, Rita asked subconsciously: "Maybe it's a little abrupt, but I want to ask you, do you know Mashiro?"

"This..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a little confused: "What do you mean by understanding? Personality, or?"

"I'm talking about talent..."

"Talent refers to a talented beautiful girl painter?"

"That's right..." After hearing this, Rita's classmate nodded repeatedly: "Mashiro is said to be a genius painter who only happens once in a thousand years..."

"So..." The confused Kasumigaoka Shiyu became even more confused: "What do you want to explain?"

"Sorry..." Seeing this, Rita-san quickly explained: "I'm a little confused now, because in my opinion, it's right to let Mashiro draw again..."

"Isn't Mashiro always drawing?"

"It's not those inexplicable comics..." Classmate Rita said again: "It's real art. I don't know if you have ever seen Mashiro's paintings, but I can tell you clearly that compared with Mashiro's previous paintings, The cartoons she draws now are just rubbish."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to realize the problem, and her face became serious in confusion.

"Instead of letting Mashiro draw those garbage comics..." Rita classmate saw this and said seriously: "Why not let her get back on track? Only art can show Mashiro's value and talent..."

"Really?" Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, the rubbish in your mouth is exactly what Mashiro is pursuing, right?"

"That's right..." Perhaps because she was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, Rita-san didn't seem to notice the change in Kasumigaoka's attitude, and said with a serious face: "To be honest, the reason why Mashiro is here is actually I was the one who encouraged me to learn to draw comics..."

"Huh? Then you are..."

"Because of jealousy..." Rita took over the conversation and said: "I never thought that my jealousy would be so terrible. By the time I realized it, I was already regretting it..."

"Jealous?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu said thoughtfully.

"Yes, jealousy..." Classmate Rita nodded: "Jealousy made me lose my mind and made me encourage Mashiro to draw comics. To be honest, my original intention was to see Mashiro frustrated..."

"But you didn't expect Mashiro's manga to be successfully published, right?"

"..." When Kasumigaoka Shiu asked, Rita-san fell silent again. After a while, she said coldly: "Yes, I really didn't expect Mashiro to be successful in comics..."

"So you're even more jealous of Mashiro? Like nothing can trouble her?"

"I don't……"

"Then why do you want to come here now?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked again.

"Maybe it's to make up for my mistakes..."

"No..." You learn from whomever you want, Kasumigaoka Shiu also started to shake her fingers: "Your original intention of letting Mashiro come here to learn comics was to frustrate her, but what you didn't expect was that even if you draw comics, Mashiro also succeeded, so you are still jealous..."

"How is it possible, I..."

"Why is it impossible?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled: "There are countless kinds of jealousy in people. Looking at Mashiro who has succeeded even in comics, you are jealous again, so you want her to go back..."

Hearing this, Rita's face suddenly turned pale and said: "That's not the case..."

"If that's not the case..." But just as she started to speak, Kasumigaoka Shiyu interrupted: "Then tell me, why didn't you come earlier, why didn't you come too late, and why did you come just when Mashiro's manga was successful?"

"That's because, because..."

"It's been a while since Mashiro came here, right?" Kasumigaoka Shiu continued: "You said you regret it? Then why didn't you contact Mashiro before?"

"I……"

"Let's be frank, you just couldn't stand Mashiro's success, so you deliberately found reasons to take her back..."

"I don't……"

"Because comics need to be serialized..." Kasumigaoka Shiu said sharply: "If the serialization is stopped casually, then Mashiro's career as a manga artist will come to an end, right?"
