357 Ive Seen Through You for What You Really Are! (1/2)
The drawing was simply too wonderful.
Shika Kagura truly loved this drawing.
Seeing this picture caused her to recall the discussion she had with her brother about how to write Brother Monogatari together. This gave her a warm feeling inside.
She would definitely work hard in the future as well, and continue creating an even better story together with her brother.
”This drawing… did Seiji draw it?” someone said from beside her.
Chiaki had seen this drawing from the side, causing her eyes to light up.
”Seiji, did you draw this?” she asked Seiji directly.
Seiji nodded in confirmation.
”Amazing! Your art talent was actually at such a high level,” Chiaki praised. ”These are the main characters of Brother Monogatari, aren't they? Nice!”
Her words attracted everyone's attention.
Mika came over to have a look and was similarly astonished.
”Amazing art… Seiji was actually this good at drawing.”
Mika also praised his art after taking a look.
Reo also took a look and said, ”So beautiful.”
Seiji felt awkward about being praised by so many people.
”How did you draw it? When did you even learn how to draw?” Chiaki asked him out of curiosity.
”I've been practicing for a while now…” he answered in an unclear fashion.
Chiaki was honestly astonished to learn that Seiji had learned by himself to such an extent in just a short time.
He was amazing at writing stories and art as well, which could only be described as a genius's level. Thinking about how he was nothing more than a scumbag NEET in the past, it seemed inconceivable to Chiaki.
'Could it be that he awakened some special ability?
'After he changed himself, the enormous potential within his body was finally activated, or his special bloodline began to take effect… just like the main character in a fantasy anime who came to a sudden realization which helped him to massively increase his power!'
That's right, a main character.
Someone from an illustrious family who was exiled for being a scumbag, that came to a self-realization and changed himself, becoming handsome and strong, and utilizing his own excellent talent… what else could he be other than a main character!?
When Chiaki thought of all this, she even impulsively felt like shouting: ”I've seen through you for what you really are!”
If he was already at such an extent after learning art for just a little while, just what level could he reach if he learned art for even longer?
She suddenly had an idea when she thought of her own artist father.
'No, that's too difficult. But… if it's really possible…'
Chiaki couldn't help but think about it some more as she observed the boy before her, causing her mouth to arc upwards.
”Not a bad suggestion… but I didn't have any intentions of becoming a professional artist.” Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation as he looked towards his adopted younger sister. ”Shika-chan, what do you think?”
”I think that Brother's drawing can definitely be the insert art for our novel,” Shika said. ”If Brother draws for Brother Monogatari, it'll definitely be the best drawing! Better than any other artist.” Her tone was resolute and her eyes were sparkling.
”So, you wish for me to become the insert art artist for our novel?”
”Yes… but it's fine if Brother doesn't want to draw for it.”
”While I don't intend to go professional, if you want for me to draw for 'Brother Monogatari,' that's another matter entirely.” Seiji began to smile. ”I'll contact Editor Yoshizawa tomorrow and discuss this with her.”
”Thank you, Brother Seiji.” Shika smiled as well.
Apart from the drawing, there was also a beautiful photo album included in the gift wrapping.
When Shika saw the photo album, she understood what Seiji meant by it, and was even more moved.
”When I see a photo album, I automatically want to take pictures. Let's start taking some pictures right away,” Chiaki said as she brought out her cell phone.
”Seiji, let's start with you and Kagura-san! Pick a place and make a pose.”
Seiji looked towards Shika. ”Let's just take our picture in the living room.”
”Okay…”
