Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 4: Pendant

Yuuki had finally started drawing 'Fairy Tail' since his manga proficiency had hit 100 points. He didn't want to take it easy though, because his little brother was still in danger.

Yuuki had fixed his relationship with Ayako. She was quite embarrassed to face him after those incidents, but both of them talked and made up with each other. Even though she was older than him (in this world), she felt Yuuki was older than her. She was quite vexed but couldn't do anything.

"Jousting?" Yuuki looked toward Ayako.

"Yes, when you're discharged how about I take you to see a jousting match?" Yuuki looked at her for a while. He knew that Ayako was from the anime 'Walkure Romanze' but he didn't know much about her and only knew that jousting was popular in that anime. He didn't expect there was a jousting stadium in the city.

"Hey, why aren't you responding?" Ayako was quite nervous that Yuuki would reject her. This was her first time to ask someone out, but she didn't expect Yuuki would reject her.

"Hmm, sorry, I'm thinking about something." Yuuki apologized and Ayako sighed.

"Then, how is it?" Ayako asked again.

"Sure, I'll go with you," Yuuki said, he was sure that he would be able to finish his quest in two days.

"Good, we'll go in the next two weeks." Yuuki nodded in response and Ayako started to talk about jousting with him.

Yuuki listened to her quietly while drawing his manga until someone knocked on the door to his room.

"Aniki, I brought your clothes." Yuuki heard Raku's voice.

"Sure, enter." Raku entered his room while carrying a lot of things.

"I'll be going out first then," Ayako said goodbye to them.

Yuuki didn't mind her and looked toward Raku.

"You know, you should be able to discharge tomorrow," Raku said.

"Well, I need to draw in a quiet environment," If Yuuki had the time it was better to draw something. His little brother was in danger, he couldn't waster his time. He continued to draw his manga and let Raku sort out his clothes.

Raku was very good at housekeeping, Yuuki wouldn't be surprised if his proficiency in housekeeping was 100 points.

There were 74 pages in the first chapter of 'Fairy Tail'. Yuuki had drawn half of the story. He needed a few hours to finish this chapter.

Raku who had finished tidying up his clothes looked at Yuuki curiously. He saw a Yuuki drawing with a serious expression and looked at his manga. He took a few papers and started reading it.

"Fairy Tail?" Raku read the title.

"You should read it, tell me your opinion." Raku was surprised and looked toward Yuuki who was smiling.

Raku nodded and wanted to read the manga as well. It was his first time reading it, and he knew that his brother had practiced for the entire week to improve his skill. He had never thought that Yuuki would be able to produce a manga so fast.

Raku took the paper and started to read it.

Yuuki didn't think much about him and continued to draw. He was drawing for a few minutes until someone disrupts him.

"ANIKI!!" Raku shook his shoulders.

"F.U.C.K!! DON'T DISTURB ME!!" Yuuki almost messed up his manga. He looked at Raku with a very annoyed expression.

Raku quickly apologized for to him but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Aniki, this is great! You should finish it as soon as possible." Raku said.

"Sigh, I know you're happy but please don't do that again, okay?" Raku nodded in response.

Yuuki wanted to continue drawing but stopped when he saw Raku's expression.

"What's wrong? Do you need something again?" Yuuki asked. "Did you want me to help you to get with Onodera?"

Raku who heard Onodera's name was blushing hard, he didn't expect his brother was so sharp.

"W-what? No! I don't need that!!" Raku was embarrassed, but he was kind of regretting not telling the truth to Yuuki.

"Don't lie to me, I know that you really like her." Yuuki teased, but Raku ignored him.

"Well, there is a great way for you to get her." Raku didn't say anything, but Yuuki could see he was listening.

"You could take her to a quiet place, hug her, and tell her softly 'I love you! Be mine!', after that, both of you kiss each other and descend into your carnal desires." Raku was blushing hard and couldn't contain it anymore. His Aniki was too much.

"You're too much!!" Raku said. "I need a pure, romantic love!! S.e.x is too early!!" He said.

"Well, do whatever you want." Yuuki said, "But I believe if you confess your feelings to her she will gladly accept your feelings." Yuuki took his pen and continued to draw.

Raku who listened to his Aniki's words was silent and kept thinking about the possibility that he could succeed in his confession.

'Ugh, what if I get rejected!?' Raku thought. 'What if our relationship becomes a mess after I confess to her.' Raku was in deep thought and held his head in his hands.

Yuuki ignored him and continued to draw. In his mind, it would be better if he could just smoke a cigarette. It was such a pity that he was in the hospital.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Yuuki was startled when he heard Raku was screaming.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki asked.

"N-no! I'm sorry, I'm thinking too hard." Yuuki wrinkled his eyebrow and shook his head.

"By the way, I brought you your pendant Aniki." Raku handed a pendant to him.

"Pendant?" Yuuki titled his head.

"Don't tell me, you forget about your pendant?" Raku looked very serious.

"Well, I know there is a pendant but isn't that yours?" Yuuki knew the story of 'Nisekoi' was a romance where the main character needed to find the 'key' from four girls, but he didn't expect it was him who had the pendant.

"No, I've also got my pendant but this one is yours, anyway I'll leave it here." Raku walked toward the door. "Get ready for tomorrow!" Then he left Yuuki behind.

Yuuki took his pendant and observed it a bit.

"Well, I don't need to think too hard about it. It's better to complete this quest first before thinking about anything else."
