Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Chapter 20: High School Start



"Thank you for your payment! Please, order to us again." Yuuki nodded in response and closed the door. He brought the ramen to the living room where everyone was waiting.

Yuuki placed the ramen on the table and talked to Tsubasa.

"You'll take the seafood one, Tsubasa?" Yuuki said.

"Yeah, thank you sensei," Tsubasa said.

"I'll eat the spicy, tell me if that ramen is good, we should try each other." Yuuki wanted to taste her ramen.

"I want to try to your ramen too, sensei." Tsubasa took her chopsticks.

"DON'T IGNORE US!!" Both Utaha and Eriri said at the same time.

Yuuki sighed looked at both of them. They had been fighting ever since they met each other.

"Well, do you want to eat ramen?" Yuuki said.

"Well, I don't mind it though." Utaha gonna took the last miso ramen but Eriri stopped her.

"That's my ramen!!" Eriri said.

"Hey? Do you see your name in this ramen?" Utaha provoked.

"Kiiiii!! Kasumigaoka Utaha!!" Eriri became angry again and showed her tiger tooth.

Both of them were in silence until they looked toward Yuuki, but they were gawking when they saw him eating ramen together with Tsubasa.

Yuuki felt that Tsubasa was really like a male, her conduct and attitude made him easier for him to treat her like his male friend.

Tsubasa didn't think it was strange but she was happy that Yuuki could treat her as a friend.

Yuuki kept eating together with Tsubasa until he felt both Eriri and Utaha gaze was too much for him.

"You know, I can order ramen again for you," Yuuki said.

"Hmph!" Both of them crossed her arms and looked away. They were angry that Yuuki was ignoring them.

"Well, if you don't know each other I'll introduce you to each other," Yuuki said.

"This is Kasumigaoka Utaha, she is my neighbor," Yuuki said.

"An this is Sawamura Spencer Eriri, she is my mangaka assistant," Yuuki said.

"Please, get along together since both of you will meet each other so often." Yuuki knew his request was impossible but at least he had to try.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!" Both of them said at the same time and looked away.

"Sigh, but can you at least not fighting here? It'll make hard to work." Both of them hung their head when they heard it. They felt ashamed to fight when Yuuki was working. They nodded and decided they wouldn't fight in his manga studio.

Yuuki ordered one more ramen so both of them could eat. After that, they continued to draw the manga. Utaha had also come and brought her laptop to write in his studio. He didn't mind it but both her and Eriri were almost fighting each other.

They had been working for a while and Yuuki decided to take a break. He took his cigarette and smoked.

Utaha wrinkled her eyebrow when she smelled a tobacco's smell.

"Yuuki? Are you smoking?" Utaha said.

"Yeah, do you hate it?" Utaha shook her head in response. She didn't really care if Yuuki smoked or not. She didn't know why but the smell of his tobacco gave her a great idea. She started to type her laptop to write her inspiration.

They kept working for the next days and Mihari also came to their studio.

"Good work, Yuuki." Mihari was happy that Yuuki didn't draw his manga on deadline.

"That's good, by the way, how is the response of my manga?" Yuuki was quite curious about it.

"That's right! Your 'Fairy Tail' becomes the hottest topic in the manga world!!" Mihari said while looking at him with admiration.

"Really?" Yuuki didn't really check about that news.

"Hey? You don't even know your manga is really popular?" Eriri said disbelief at him.

"Yeah, sensei, I've also become your best fans! Because of you, I can create a new move! Dragon Slayer Magic: Fire Dragon's Roar!" Tsubasa tried to mimic Natsu.

"What should I do about you?" Utaha shook her head while sitting near him. After a few days, she had been staying here in the studio together with everyone. Yuuki didn't mind because it was quite fun to watch both Utaha and Eriri was often to fight each other. Besides having a beautiful girl like her to stay with him was a happy thing.

"I believe that your manga can even defeat all the manga from 'Shounen Jump' Yuuki" Mihari was happy with his success.

His payment had been increased lately. He got 40.000 island coin for each page of his manga. He was happy that his bank account started to get fat.

"I can't wait for you to publish a 'Fairy Tail' book!" Mihari said.

Yuuki nodded in response. He remembered that 'Fairy Tail' volume 1 needed at least 6 chapters before being made into a book. He needed another 5 weeks before 'Weekly Gongon' published his book.

"Well, let's worry about that later, tomorrow I need to go to school." When Yuuki said this everyone looked startled. They had only remembered that their holiday would be over tomorrow. They were very happy to spend time together with Yuuki this whole week. They had a very reluctantly expression on their face.

"Tsubasa, where is your school if you don't mind me to know?" Yuuki didn't know where was her school. It would be great if they had the same school.

"I'm in all-girls high school," Tsubasa said sadly, she thought it would be great to have the same school as him.

"Don't worry about it, we'll meet each other when we work." They nodded reluctantly at him.

In the next morning, Yuuki had changed into his new uniform. He looked at the mirror for a while and nodded. He wanted to laugh that he had to start to go to school again. He went out from his room and decided to take his first step to become a high school student. Even though, he was 2nd years.
