Talent, no, that might not be the right word.

What kind of thing is talent?

Some people ask for it but never get it, and some people are born with a certain talent from the beginning.

People with talents can become experts in certain fields in three days, but people without talents need ten years of hard work to gain the upper hand.

Putting aside the meaningless topic of whether God is fair or unfair, first of all, humans themselves have not yet reached an accurate conclusion on what kind of thing talent is.

Because apart from the difference in body and physical structure, there is still a kind of talent that can only be realized through sensibility and soul.

Such as painting.

No one can say where this perceptual talent comes from. Even if you dissect Van Gogh's brain, you still wouldn't know how he painted sunflowers, right?

Not to mention the uncertain factors of acquired efforts and life experience that interfere with everyone's judgment.

Moreover, the quality of a painting will vary greatly depending on the audience and the culture of the time.

Therefore, talent in a common context really just means "compared to XXX, your talent is very good, the upper limit is higher, and you progress faster".

There is no such thing as a data indicator like [Painting Talent: Lv. MAX].

Although if Xingke were to make one, he would not say that it was completely impossible, but this kind of thing was completely meaningless.

When two people are together, why don't they just compare them?

It’s not necessary at all, right?

If the gap is big, you will understand it quickly. If the gap is small, you can make up for it with two hours of training every day.

And more importantly, Xingke's own talents are nothing to talk about except that he lives a long time and has a lot of magic power. Therefore, for his own poor self-esteem, he does not allow the [talent digitization] system to exist.

However, even so, there is no doubt about Shiina Mashiro's painting talent. No matter who she shows, her paintings will have a feeling of shock to the soul, and they have been recognized by the art circles around the world, and even more recognized by the stars.

As long as they are in the same field, as long as they see Mashiro's works, they will recognize Shiina Mashiro's talent and talent.

Even [jealousy] is itself a kind of malicious recognition.

But it was Mashiro who abandoned everything and came to Neon alone to study comics, and his manuscript was rejected many times.

I don’t know how much news this behavior caused in the British painting community and how many rumors it attracted.

Half a year has already reached the limit of what Mashiro's parents, master, and friend Rita can endure.

"So I'm here, Mashiro, come back with me! Back to the world of art!~"

"I will not go."

Without any hesitation, Mashiro refused.

"I knew Mashiro would say that."

Mashiro's stubbornness is as outstanding as her painting talent, but maybe it's because of this persistence that she developed his painting talent.

As Mashiro's life manager (writing: roommate) Rita knows this, so she won't give up:

"Please reconsider.

Mashiro, please think about the possibilities contained at your fingertips.

Even if it is a famous painting that spans hundreds of years, two hundred years...hundreds of years of time and space and has left its name in human history, maybe Mashiro can paint it?

Because the world created by your fingertips is so special and valuable, this is a fact recognized by everyone."

"Why do you say this?

Rita supports me becoming a cartoonist."

"That's...I just taught you how to use the computer!"

Rita turned her head slightly and said, her eyes wavering as if she was trying to hide something.

"Rita..."

"I can't continue to watch Mashiro waste time on things like comics.

Please, Mashiro, please come back to England with me!"

Rita grabbed Mashiro's hand pleadingly.

"I won't go back!"

Mashiro quietly pushed Rita's hand away.

"real……"

"I will not go!"

As if the scene of good sisters just now no longer existed, Mashiro tried hard to push Rita out of the door. Although Xing Mo didn't know where Mashiro got such strength, Rita had no intention of competing with Mashiro. Anyway, this time

This is how we broke up with [Plastic Sisters].

This made Xingke wonder if he had turned on the wrong channel. How could a good Fang Literature Society become youth literature?

Hoshikatsu didn't follow Misaki-senpai and the others to watch the fun, but he still heard the heavy slamming of the door, the rare sound of Mashiro rushing upstairs, and finally the "bang" of Mashiro closing the door to his room.

What happened is very clear.

At the beginning, there was Rita outside the door saying "I will definitely come back", "I will not give up", etc., but in the end, even this was gone.

And throughout the whole process, Xing Ke was just calmly cleaning up the remnants in the bowl.

"You are really calm, aren't you anxious?"

After Senior Ren came back, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked.

"What are you anxious about?"

"What will you do if little Mashiro really returns to England?"

"Open a portal for a second? Or go to England to study? Change the map and continue to cause harm to the world?"

Senior Ren was very speechless as he looked at Xingke taking it for granted and declared that he would "follow me thousands of miles away", feeling a little envious:

"...If I had such a good attitude as you, I would have gone back to my hometown to get married."

Xingke picked up the dishes and threw Qianxun-sensei's beer can into the recycling bin.

Today happened to be the day he was responsible for washing dishes, and now except for Senior Ren who came over to chat with him, everyone else had returned to their rooms.

Xingqi turned on the faucet and started working, while saying to Senior Ren who was sitting in the living room:

"Don't worry, if Mashiro doesn't want to go back, the Queen of England will come with the Invincible Fleet to go on an expedition. Don't even think about forcing Mashiro, let alone a little blond fox who threatens to rob us."

Senior Ren only thought he was joking and expressing his position, so he continued to ask:

"Then you're not worried about Mashiro's fingers that are said to be able to create famous paintings that will be passed down through the ages?"

"The human history of this world is not as long as mine. Who is afraid of whom? Do you want Mr. Bai Ze to come out and have a fight with me on a full moon night?"

"I'm convinced... Are you really confident, or are you really a fool?

But I understand what you mean, you want to support Mashiro’s choice to the end, right?”

Xingke has become accustomed to his words not being believed, so he simply doesn't expose them, which is quite fun.

"...You can understand it this way.

Do historical paintings and other famous paintings have anything to do with Mashiro? Does being able to do it mean that you have to do it? Where is this [Hero Refutation]? Brothers kidnapped by morality, kidnapped by talent, right?"

"Hahaha... If you can't win, you can't win. With your shamelessness, little Rita will never win, haha..."

Senior Ren laughed heartily and felt a moment of silence for the aggressive little girl just now. She still didn't know what kind of enemies and resistance she was facing.

But when it came to Rita, Xingke couldn't help but laugh.

"but……"

"What's wrong, you suddenly have a serious expression?"

Seeing Xing Ke's serious expression, Ren couldn't help but laugh, matching his serious atmosphere.

"I also understand Rita's feelings. Mashiro is really suitable for being in the art world, because even if I just look at the printed products in books, I can understand——

Mashiro’s paintings can indeed inspire people’s hearts and cleanse their souls, and I don’t hope that Mashiro will never paint [modern paintings] again.”

"That's what everyone thinks, right? You're not alone."

"However, it's still a long time. Mashiro's own painting path has just begun, so there's no need to be anxious.

Since you like it, just draw a comic for ten or eight years. After that, if you remember that there are other ways of painting such as oil painting, just change your taste and continue to create art.

Could it be that... Mashiro will no longer be Mashiro by then?"

Seeing Xing Ke very seriously saying that painting for ten or eight years is as easy as ordinary people going to a sports club to [experience the club] and making a decision in two days, Senior Ren was a little shocked, and he was stunned for a moment before sighing leisurely.

He took a breath and said:

"Sigh - the way you talk, sometimes it really sounds like you have a lifespan of tens of millions of years."

"I said it all, but you just don't believe it, right?"

Put the last washed plate in the cupboard and declare this.

"Be careful, Rita really won't give up. She is that type of girl. My experience tells me."
