Start By Becoming A Mangaka

"Welcome...."

"Why are all of you wet? Also, why are all of you breathing heavily?" Ishida's mom asked a worried expression.

"Uh, we were playing in the river," Ishida said. He didn't want to tell her about the thing that had happened earlier.

Yuuki, Ishida, Nagatsuka, and Satoshi had just run away from the river since someone had reported them to the police. They were very tired and decided to hide in Ishida's house since his house was the closest.

"Huh? Playing in the river? Are you a child?" Ishida's mom reprimanded them.

They didn't say anything since their actions were quite shameful for their ages but they were satisfied.

"Hurry up and go to the bathroom! You guys need to take a bath! It'll be bad for you guys to catch a cold!" Ishida's mom said and pushed all of them to the bathroom.

It isn't uncommon for guys to take a bath together in this country.

They didn't shy away since they had played in the river and entered the bath together.

"Yasho, is your face alright?" Nagatsuka asked with a worried expression.

"You've been punched by a professional pro-wrestler, you know," Satoshi was also worried.

Ishida tried to touch his brush but it wasn't painful, "Huh? It won't hurt."

"Of course, idiot, I'm going to hold back or else you will enter a hospital from fighting with me," Yuuki said while taking off his clothes.

"..."

Ishida sighed when he thought that he was trying to punch him.

"Yeah, your punch isn't even making him flinch," Satoshi said while patting his shoulders.

"..."

"Ichijou-kun, why do you have a tattoo on your body?" Nagatsuka asked with a surprised expression.

"His family is from a yakuza," Ishida sighed and started to get depressed suddenly.

"...."

"Don't think too much, let's just enter the bath, I'm a bit cold," Yuuki said.

They looked at his expression and nodded. They entered the bath together and started to talk to each other.

It might be because of the earlier incident that made them became quite close to each other.

"Thank you for your clothes," they said at the same time.

"No, it's alright," Ishida said.

"I will wash your clothes, you guys can play on the 2nd floor," Ishida's mom said.

"Yes, aunty," they said to her.

"Come to my room," Ishida guided them.

Ishida's mom saw them go to his room and couldn't help but smile when she thought that her son had started to get better.

"You're living alone with your mom?" Yuuki asked.

"No, I also live with my niece," Ishida said.

"Do you have a sister?" Nagatsuka asked.

"Yes, she is in Brazil with her husband and she might come back during the fall session," Ishida said.

'Brazil...' Yuuki was wondering why his sister went to brazil but he couldn't help but ask, "So is your brother-in-law a football player?"

"No, he isn't, don't think all the people in Brazil plays football," Ishida sighed.

They entered his room and it was quite small but it was comfortable enough for them. They started to talk to each other about a lot of things.

"So you want to become an actor?" Yuuki asked. He still wore his glasses since it was too troublesome to see people who knew him.

"Yeah, that's my dream," Satoshi said and asked, "You're a pro-wrestler, right? So you're going to challenge Sekibayashi and become the strongest?"

Ishida and Nagatsuka felt that this guy was quite pitiful since he didn't even realize the man in front of him but they didn't say anything either.

"Yeah, that's the plan," Yuuki nodded and asked, "Nagatsuka, you want to become movie director, right?"

"That's right," Nagatsuka nodded and said, "I still remember the thing that we have done on the river, that gives me the inspiration to make a movie that can move people's hearts."

"You need money to make a movie," Yuuki said.

"That's why I'm searching for a sponsor," Nagatsuka said while looking at him.

"..."

Yuuki was speechless, "You want me to sponsor your movie?"

"That's right," Nagatsuka said and gave him a confident expression, "Trust me, I will create the best movie ever."

Yuuki snorted, "Then show me your ability first."

Nagatsuka nodded and wrapped his hands around both Ishida and Satoshi, "Both of them will help me to create a movie, we will show you our movie during the school festival."

"..."

"Huh?!" Ishida and Satoshi were surprised.

"I have never said that I will help you," Ishida said.

"This is my first time hearing it," Satoshi said.

"Don't think much about the detail, anyway, we will create our first movie that can move him to the school festival!" Nagatsuka was very spirited and shouted, "Ooohh!!!"

"Oooh!!!" They also shouted too.

Yuuki only shook his head at them but he didn't say his rejection either. He loved talent and wouldn't reject them.

Nagatsuka and Satoshi were sleeping since they were tired after being thrown into the river.

Yuuki only closed his eyes while using his hand as a pillow.

"Aniki, are you sleeping?"

Yuuki turned, "What's wrong, Ishida?"

Ishida took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

Yuuki raised his eyebrow.

"I'm grateful to meet you and all of you, I know that I need to face my past or else I can't move on," Ishida said.

Yuuki grinned, "I don't do anything, you're the one who did it yourselves, I just give you a little push."

"No, I'm very grateful to you," Ishida said.

Yuuki was too lazy to have an argument with him.

"Aniki..."

"Hmmm?"

"Please take care of Nishimiya and make her happy," Ishida said with a serious expression.

"I will do that even if you're not telling me."

"Since I'm also going to take care of her mom too," Yuuki said with a low voice.

"Did you say something?" Ishida asked.

"Nothing, let's sleep first, I will go back after that," Yuuki said.

"Huh? We're not going to have a guy's party together?" Nagatsuka stood up suddenly.

"Sleep!"
