Start By Becoming A Mangaka

"Oh, is he going to join the show match between Ichijou Yuuki versus Sekibayashi Jun?" Satoshi said. He was very knowledgeable about this kind of things and he also loved his song too. Yuuki was his role model since both of them were high school students and he wanted to become a successful actor too.

"Yes," Shouko only nodded.

"Is it really okay to not telling them?" Nagatsuka asked.

"I feel a bit sorry for them," Sahara said.

"It\'s okay, he doesn\'t want a troublesome thing," Yuzuru answered.

"Here is your takoyaki."

Ishida looked at the takoyaki and said, "Thank you very much." He took money to pay it but suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Ueno, can you not be this meddlesome?"

"Shi-Shimada?" Ishida was stunned and cold sweat kept pouring out from his body unconsciously when he saw the face of this person. He saw the face of his ex-best friend during his elementary school who betrayed him and made him into the scapegoat for the thing that they had done to Nishimiya. Suddenly the memory that he had been buried started to appear and played a replay scene on his head. He hung his head low and turned while walking since he wanted to get away as soon as possible.

The \'X\' mask that had come off earlier suddenly come back and covered everyone face in front of him.

"Hey, Ishida!" Ueno became panicked and worried when she saw his reaction. She turned and said toward Shimada, "Sorry! I\'ll text you!" She started to chase him and called his name, "Ishida!" She walked beside him and asked, "Are you mad?"

"I\'m not mad," Ishida answered while looking down, "I\'m not mad."

"I was just hoping for you two could go back to being friends," Ueno said with a nervous expression. She clenched her hands hard and said, "I figured things would work out if you met."

Ishida looked at her with an annoyed expression, "Nobody asked you." He turned and looked at the group of people that had come with him. He looked at both Sahara and Shouko who were talking to each other and suddenly realized something, \'Didn\'t I do the exact same thing?\' He wasn\'t sure but he felt very uncomfortable. He sat down and wasn\'t sure what to do now.

Ueno sat beside him and said, "You and I are alike."

"No, we\'re not," Ishida answered.

"Yes, we\'re."

"No, we\'re not."

Ueno didn\'t say anything and crossing her legs. She looked at the group of teenagers who played each other in front of her and said, "Everything would\'ve been fine and dandy if it wasn\'t for Nishimiya, right?"

Ishida felt very uncomfortable and answered, "We don\'t know that."

"But I do," Ueno said and blabbered, "If she wasn\'t around, things wouldn\'t have gotten awkward between Sahara and me. And you and Shimada wouldn\'t have fallen out. I want to back to how things were before she came."

Ishida put his hands together while sweating, "The thing with Shimada..."

"It\'s all on me."

"....."

"Do you hate me, Ishida?" Ueno asked.

"Probably."

"....."

Ueno suddenly stood up and said, "I think I want to ride the Ferris Wheel."

"Ha?" Ishida looked at her with a confused expression.

"I should take Nishimiya," Ueno said and walked toward her.

"Hey!" Ishida wanted to reprimand her but he was too late.

Shouko was talking with Sahara until suddenly someone held her shoulders.

"Nishimiya-san, ride the Ferris wheel with me," Ueno said.

Shouko looked at her with a confused expression.

Yuzuru who was beside them said, "Take this with you, sis." She gave her her camera and said, "I\'m riding the rollercoaster again."

"Let\'s go," Ueno pulled her and took her to the Ferris wheel.

"You\'re not going to stop her," Ishida asked.

Yuzuru shook her head, "It\'s better to see what she is going to do, I\'m sure that Yuuki will help me to punish that girl when she does something to sis."

"....."

Ishida wasn\'t sure but he felt worried right now.

Yuuki looked at the girl who was pulling his arm in front of him, "Why are you this hasty?"

"You\'re the one who is too lax! Do you know that the match will be started in a few weeks?" Isuzu looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"...."

Yuuki could see from her expression that she had been working hard. He thought for a bit and said, "It\'s because I believe in you." He put a very sincere expression and said, "With you around really put my heart at ease."

Bang!

Yuuki looked at the ground beside him which was chipped because of her gun. He was speechless right now looking at her.

"Enough of your sweet talk, let\'s go check the stage to see whether there is a missing instrument or not," Isuzu said and pulled him to see the stage in the stadium that was located in this park. She turned and hid her red face since she was a bit happy with his praise but she needed to become demon now since this guy was really irresponsible.

Yuuki decided to keep his mouth shut right now. He wasn\'t sure but he felt worried for some reason. He suddenly thought whether the girl in front of him was in the menstruation period or not. He thought for a bit and said, "Thank you for working for me."

"No problem," Isuzu said and added, "But you can\'t escape again, alright?"

"..."

"Yes," Yuuki decided to follow her for now.
