บท 28: Don't Come

The door opened in an instant, and Asahi appeared in front of Kobato.

"What is it?" Seeing Kobato's agitated expression, Asahi couldn't help but be surprised.

Seeing Mashiro sitting at the computer and drawing, Kobato breathed a sigh of relief: "No... it's okay."

She had an inexplicable bad feeling just now, which was really weird.

While muttering, Kobato obediently descended the stairs.

Is it intuition?

Asahi turned around and saw Mashiro looking sideways, his rosy lips were slightly swollen, and he couldn't help rubbing the middle of his eyebrows.

Now that there's been a breakthrough in the relationship, let's find some time to let her know.

After closing the door to Mashiro's room, Asahi returned to the room to continue writing the second chapter of the new work.

...

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

"School starts tomorrow, sleep early tonight."

At 10 p.m., while sitting by Kobato's bedside until he put his little sister to sleep, Asahi went next door to check on Mashiro's condition.

After a day of drawing, the girl was very tired, and because of that, Asahi was able to observe the moment when the creature named Shiina Mashiro fell asleep.

She was still drawing manga on the table just before falling asleep, then she slowly drifted off to sleep, and when she reached her limit, she instinctively rolled off the chair deftly.

Then, to escape the brightness of the neon lights, she crawled across the floor with the last of his strength, tucked into his clothes and underwear, and slipped under the table.

This is not a spontaneous sleep, but a habit, an ordinary feeling like that of an animal.

Maybe it was because she drew every day until she fell asleep, she didn't even have the strength to walk to bed, and she poured all her energy into manga until her health ran out, even Mashiro's sleeping manner was very messy.

Asahi laughed, seeing Mashiro curled up and sleeping. "Don't sleep defenseless in front of a man."

With a sleeping face that felt very comfortable, Mashiro hid her head but not her feet, Asahi helped her cover the blanket, and she muttered awkwardly as if itching: "I can't breathe, Asahi..."

She kept moving, and after making sure the covers were covered, Asahi turned off the light and left the room, saying good night.

Today was the last night before school started, so of course he wouldn't be staying up late, vacation was over and it was time to welcome the new semester.

...

The sun rises from the east!

First day of the new semester!

The corridors of the Sakurasou hostel were filled with the fresh morning air, and the noisy voices of the residents could be heard early in the morning.

Asahi wakes up early, because apart from Kobato, there is Mashiro who needs his care.

"Mashiro, come and wash your hair!"

While everyone is washing their faces and brushing their teeth, Asahi discovers that Mashiro is actually looking for things in the fridge.

Mashiro still looked a little sleepy, she reached out and took out a carrot from the fridge, watching it carefully in front of her eyes.

She didn't seem to like what the rabbit liked to eat, so she put it back down, then took out a cucumber, studied it as carefully as the carrot just now, pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds, then took a bite without warning.

"I'm absolutely sure." Asahi walked over to her and pulled her away.

Maintaining the posture of biting the cucumber, Mashiro looked back at her, the girl wasn't scared at all, and ate the cucumber in big bites.

"Are you hungry?"

Mashiro kept chewing and nodding.

"I understand, don't eat anymore! I will give you something later!"

Mashiro instead answered with a swallowing voice.

Asahi had nothing to say, so he had to drag Mashiro to wash her messy hair, and finally tidy it up for her, and take off the clothes that had been drying on the balcony for her to return to her room to change.

But at this time Misaki pulled Asahi in front of the TV again: "Ahaha, Jin happened to be making breakfast, please show me a sample."

He quickly inserted the CD into the reader, and the TV screen lit up.

"New job?" Asahi asked when he saw an image like a countdown to the start of an old movie appear on the screen.

"Hmph, I just edited it last night, it's the most recent shot now, enjoy!" Misaki looked very confident.

After finishing speaking, the countdown ended at the last second, and the original anime produced by Misaki appeared on the TV screen.

Because before recording, of course, there was no dubbing, so there was no sound, music or sound effects. Even so, Asahi can still feel that the content is smooth, dynamic, and very powerful.

Even blending 2D characters into 3D backgrounds can provide the most sophisticated image presentation without a sense of incongruity, as long as characters and backgrounds are depicted with care.

Well-paced storyboards and unique compositions directly challenge tedious, calorie-consuming paintings. It was really hard to see that it was made by one's own strength. Of course, it is not at the level of ordinary people, but at the super-first-line level of quality.

Soon he finished watching a short 5 minute film.

"Is this the result of your work so far?" Asahi nodded slightly.

Misaki looked at him expectantly: "How? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Asahi pondered for a moment: "One minute and fifteen seconds, three and a half minutes, four minutes and seven seconds, there is a delay on the split mirror, the blurry lens stretches, and..."

Hearing Asahi spot his flaws, Misaki nodded excitedly: "Oh, there it is! Very nice! Wow, is it there?"

"Except for what Asahi said, those two and a half minutes are definitely nonsense." Ryunosuke, who was typing the code on the dining table, also watched and made a suggestion: "This must be a matter of editing. I have a new special internal editing software that I recently developed, want to try it?"

"Please send it to me!" Misaki ran to Ryunosuke.

"Get away from me!" Even if Ryunosuke treated the residents of Sakurasou Dorm a bit better, he still wasn't very good with women.

"What is the difference?"

"Don't come here!"

Jin, who was making breakfast was dumbfounded. In front of him, Misaki had never smiled this happily, because with his eyesight, he couldn't find any flaws in a short film that was only one or two short frames.

Even though they were very close, he felt that he was in two worlds with people behind him, and there was a transparent, unbreakable barrier between them.

"Asahi, give me your phone."

After commenting on the short film, Asahi is interrupted by Chihiro's voice, and is snatched from his cell phone.

Didn't know what Chihiro was doing with it, and quickly threw the phone back at him: "It's done."
