Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Chapter 47: Talk to her

Yuuki wrote again on his phone and showed her, [Now, we're friends, this is my gift for.] He gave her hearing aids.

Shouko wanted to reject it again, but Yuuki didn't let him do it. He took her hand and placed it in her hand. He took his phone and wrote. [Don't reject it!]

Shouko smiled helplessly at her new friend and used his hearing aids. She inserted it into her ears and was surprised when she could hear everything around her so clearly.

"Can you hear me?" Shouko heard Yuuki's voice and nodded excitedly in response. She was happy that she could hear him.

"Ye...yeah," Shouko could talk but it was hard since she couldn't hear anything but she wanted to say thank you to him, "Th..tha..thankyou."

"Don't worry about it," Yuuki was happy that Shouko could hear his voice."Let me send you home, it's already quite late." He was worried about her.

Shouko wrote something in her book, "No, it's okay, I can go home by myself.] She shook her head.

"No, let me do it. I want to talk with you more," Yuuki said.

Shouko finally nodded and smiled, "Tha-thank you."

Yuuki nodded, "Don't worry, I think I need to learn hand sign language so I can talk with you better."

Shouko shook her head and wrote [No, I can learn to talk better.] She had this new hearing aid from him and it made it easier for her to have a conversation with everyone. It was as if she wasn't deaf with it.

"Let's learn together then. You teach me hand sign language and you can practice talking with me," Yuuki said.

Shouko wrote something [Good, we can learn together.] She was happy that they had more time together.

They walked together while having a conversation. It was hard since Shouko had to write her answer on the paper but they were happy to get to know each other. She learned that Yuuki was a student at Fujiyama High School.

"You're from Ousai High School?" Yuuki looked at her strangely. He had heard 'Ousai High School` was an all-girls school where Tsubasa was studying. He didn't expect Shouko to be a student there. He needed to ask Tsubasa about it.

Shouko was surprised to learn that they were the same age. She thought that Yuuki was older than him.

Yuuki twitched his lips when he heard it, "Sorry, for looking quite old."

Shouko said, "So...sorry." She felt bad about making fun of him.

"Don't worry, I'm just joking," Yuuki smiled.

Shouko pouted at him and smiled. This was her first time to be happy like this. She didn't want it to be over, but she had already arrived at her house.

"I'll go home now," Yuuki said and made her sad, "Can I play at your house sometimes?"

Shouko, who heard him, nodded, and she wanted him to play at her house all the time.

"Good, I'll go to your house sometimes," Yuuki said goodbye and went back to his house. He needed to continue his work.

Yuuki arrived at his manga studio and saw Mihari was there and waiting for him.

"Yuuki-sensei!" Mihari was running toward him and looked quite tired.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki looked quite confused at her.

"WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MAKING A GAME!!" Mihari was shouting.

"Shhh! Don't shout in the night!" Yuuki reprimanded her.

"So-sorry! But, it's your fault! Why you stopped drawing manga and making a game!!" Mihari was waiting for his answer.

Yuuki smiled at her, "Don't worry, I've had enough chapters for the 2nd volume, I don't need to be in a hurry to do it."

Mihari, who heard him, sighed in relief. She thought that Yuuki was in a slump and stopped writing his manga. If that was the case, their companies would be in danger. Luckily, that wasn't the case.

Mihari was curious what kind of game he would make, "What kind of game is it, Yuuki?"

Yuuki smiled, "You can check it but don't tell anyone ok? This is still the secret I don't want anyone to know about my game, and if you can't promise me this, I won't let you see it." he asked.

"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone!" Mihari was curious. She wanted to see his work.

"Well, I believe in you," Yuuki didn't mind showing his project to Mihari as long as she didn't tell everyone.

Mihari was excited to see his game. She was amazed at the game, "Wow!" She couldn't say anything about seeing the game in front of her, even though she didn't have a gaming background but she often played it in her house. She had never seen this kind of thing before.

Characters, setting, story, gameplay, it was definitely a groundbreaking idea. Mihari didn't know what to say and could only look at Yuuki with admiration. He could make manga and now a game? She had never seen anyone like this before.

Yuuki nodded and continued to make his game. He needed to finish it as soon as possible. He didn't want to spend his days like this; he wanted to go out.

Tsubasa and Eriri were also helping him finish the game. Yuuki felt grateful to them. Mihari was still looking at the setting of his game. He didn't mind as long as she didn't make a mess. He turned his head toward Utaha, who was also looking at him. She turned her head and ignored him again. He frowned and thought that he needed to solve this as soon as possible.
