15 Project and Manga. (Part 2)

Sorata gave Mashiro more taiyaki after helping her change into fresh clothes, and then they both left the Sakura Dorm.

Since they had plenty of time before returning to school, he spent some time talking to Mashiro and introducing her to various shop locations and other things, which Nanami, Misaki, and Jin all thought almost looked like a date.

However, Kosaki and Haru were also following them without Sorata's knowledge, and Haru had all but forgotten that she was traveling in a different direction than her school.

As they followed Sorata, he brought up the idea of the manga plan he had in mind while they were happily chatting with Mashiro.

"So, Sorata wants me to draw art for your story, and we both will go with a single name and a single group in the Mangaka line."

As Sorata mentioned, her drawing from this morning looked really good, but her story was incredibly dull.

He can help her bring out the story, which will improve the quality of her work as a mangaka.

"Given that I do not have the skills needed to draw like you and you lack skills related to story, both of us have something that we lack."

Along those lines, Mashiro seemed to be smiling as she held Sorata's hand and spoke to him in a low voice.

"I will listen to Sorata, given that I would also love to work with you in your work." Mashiro had a general idea of Sorata's writing prowess because she had heard about him from every resident of Sakura Dorm.

It was also because it was the first time she had encountered someone who was independent of her and who even asked her to join his company in making something.

However, Sorata was taken aback because he had never imagined it would be so simple to convince Mashiro to agree and join his group.

In anime, he had seen how obstinate Mashiro could be because she would keep trying harder and harder despite failing and would never ask for help coming up with a story or how to draw expressions on her own.

"Good, too, if one day you find that my stories are holding back your manga or your drawing, then you can choose to work with someone else, but I am also not letting you go that easily."

Sorata made his intentions clear with his words as they both made their way toward their school, leaving Nanami and Misaki speechless.

All they had heard was, "I am also not letting you go that easily.," and their minds had already begun to race with ideas.

Meantime...

The moment Kosaki turned around to send Haru back, she discovered Nanami and Misaki seated and sighing about what they had heard.

Kosaki had forced Haru to hurry since she realized that Haru's school was on the other side of the street halfway through.

"They are friends with Sorata-kun, right?" She thought and walked toward them with a smile and called Nanami out, as she found the second girl to be someone she knew about.

"Nanami-san." Nanami turned to face Kosaki when she heard her name being called by a girl who had just approached her. Her eyes cleared, and she smiled.

"Kosaki-chan." Nanami recognized her, as she was one of the most beautiful girls in their three sections. Whereas Mashiro was a really pure type of girl and there were many girls around Sorata, Jin's eyes twitched as he observed them.

However, Nanami has a cute self and a future Seiyu, along with Kosaki, who seems to be a calm and natural type, which can ease the heart.

Jin felt that Sorata was like some kind of harem-based protagonist or something.

"Wow! Who is she?" Many boys turned to face Mashiro as he walked alongside Sorata to the teacher's room as they entered the room.

However, she caught the interest of many boys and even girls along the way thanks to her behavior.

When Mashiro arrived at the gate to her class, Sorata bid her farewell and informed her that he would be waiting for her at the school gate after school was over before heading toward his own class.

"Eh, Sorata again; what the hell with that?"

"How does he always get close to all the beautiful students from our school?"

One more person chatters while staring at Sorata, who, unaware of the jealousy in his eyes, continues to ignore them in silence and takes a seat next to Nanami.

"Sorata, good morning." Sorata could see that Nanami was trying to fake a smile as she greeted him, but he chose not to ask why and returned the greeting.

"Good morning, Nanami-san." The slight sensation in her chest started to fade when she heard Sorata call her by her first name as well, and she returned to normal.

As she began to describe the voice lesson and practice exercises she had received to hone her voice and the new voice she had developed, he was also informed of the voice class.

"That sure is rough, but it is going to be alright, right?" Sorata was aware of the growing weariness she was experiencing as a result of pushing herself.

"Here I had bought calcium milk and am unable to finish it." Sorata pulled out two calcium-milk yogurt packets and gave one to her. Before the teacher arrived, Nanami began to drink it while keeping it tightly in her hand and without shaking it off. A small smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Nanami and Sorata Kanda, it is wrong to drink it inside the classroom."

One of the boy monitors used this justification to vent his repressed annoyance on Kanda, who simply shook his head and gave the boy a mildly irritated look.

Given, Nanami who is normally quiet and helpful would never be able to handle something like this as she made an apology to the boy and gave Kanda a small smile before packing the yogurt in her bag.

"What with that look?" The boy nearly fell over as Sorata got up, moved toward him, and spoke while gazing at him with an irritated expression on his face.

"Can't you just shut your mouth for good? Can't you even not see how tired Nanami was looking while entering the class, and most of us know how hardworking she is?"

"That is why I tried to give her a yogurt to let her feel a little energetic, but just because someone was jealous of my action and was wanting to let out his irritation, he had to interrupt between those, and now she is not even drinking it."

The boy's face was pale; given that Sorata pointed out why he did all that and the way students were looking at him, he felt weak in his leg as he walked back to his seat. Sorata walked toward Aoyama and stood in front of her, saying, "Now completely drink it, or else..."

Nanami was startled when she heard Sorata threaten, and she took the drink out and downed it while giving Sorata a resentful look.
