"1.2 million..."
Some students are already interested. "Teacher Sojiro, I want to learn, please teach me."
The students developed an unprecedented enthusiasm for painting.
The staff office after class.
Sojiro came to the office with the students' works for correction.
68 points.
68 points.
68 points.
"It's very good. I passed the test all the time."
Teacher Ito came back from physical education class, and his seat was next to teacher Sojiro.
But this statement made teacher Sojiro sigh. "In the art world, a score of 68 is actually about the same as a score of 0."
"It means there is no talent at all."
"So it's just useless work." Teacher Ito said. "The mayor also has too many expectations for the children."
"But in fact, many people are not that material."
"They even went to Chiba to find me. In the end, I only found two or three guys with good physical fitness who could be trained. However, it is still too difficult to meet the requirements to stand out." Teacher Ito said with a sigh.
"It's almost the same over there." Teacher Sojiro said.
He and teacher Ito both came from this town, but they each have their own strengths. Teacher Ito specializes in sports, while he here is good at painting.
Both of them started their own careers after graduating from college. At this time, the mayor came to them personally to ask for help, hoping that they could help raise the child, even if it was only for one year.
The mayor's seriousness and consideration for the future are also respectable.
So, after thinking about it, they all came back.
And Sojiro is better than Ito. He likes the scenery of Itomori Town very much, and the scenery paintings painted here can be sold well. As a painter, he can draw materials from anywhere.
Therefore, Ito is also more likely to explode.
"So..."
Sojiro looked at the location next door. "Teacher Yukino isn't coming today either."
"... Well, continue to ask for leave." Teacher Ito said.
He is not only the physical education teacher, but also the head teacher and the dean of students. He is also responsible for taking leave.
"By the way, I heard something about her dispute with a third-year student..."
Sojiro seemed to be trying to figure out his tone, "I think those things are impossible, and aren't you pursuing her? So if you stand up for her..."
"I'm still collecting evidence and testimony." Teacher Ito said.
"..."
Sojiro continued to look at the students' homework while talking, and finally stood up.
"What happened? All of a sudden."
"I found a good seed."
Sojiro pulled out a painting. "I want this child to develop independently."
Ito looked over and found that the copied painting was sixty percent similar to Sojiro's oil painting.
"Is this painting good?"
"... You can't understand it. This writing style is very good. Although it is a bit stiff, it may be good if you train it. And the mayor has given me a task. It would be wrong not to complete it. Besides, it's not good."
Sojiro showed the student's name. "If this can be cultivated, the mayor will also be satisfied."
Because this student's name is Mitsuha Miyamizu.
"Please ask Mitsuha Miyamizu from Class 3, Grade 2, to come to the office."
"Mitsuha Miyamizu from Class 3, Grade 2, please come to the office. Teacher Sojiro is looking for you."
"..." Oreki classmate.
After class, classmates Oreki and Sayaka went to the sink to wash off the paint on their hands. When they came back, they heard the sound of the radio.
"Mitsuha What happened?"
"I don't know." Oreki originally wanted to ask for leave after class, so he didn't think there was any problem.
Then I saw teacher Sojiro in the office.
There is also a drawing board for sketching on his desk, and some watercolor paints.
He had a bad feeling.
Although he has not done much research on painting, compared to other students, he can complete the painting seriously, and in the eyes of this 1.2 million teacher, it is already pretty good...
"Mitsuha, I thought you were pretty good in class, and your painting is talented."
"Go and paint a sketch that you think is good."
"I want to guide you." Teacher Sojiro said.
Then he lent her painting materials for free.
Ask her to come back before school in the afternoon. He will only stay at school until 5 o'clock.
Does this require one more thing?
Oh no.
Classmate Oreki thought that in this way, he could use the excuse of sketching to go to the mayor's office to obtain information about Takari.
So two things are one thing.
Very energy efficient.
"I understand."
He took the materials, said a few words to Sayaka, and then skipped class alone, in full view of the students.
"When it comes to going to the mayor's office, we actually have to take a long detour."
Just.
Oreki, while walking forward with his drawing board on his back, found that the sky was dark.
Then.
The patter...
It's already raining.
Chapter 360 Yukino Takari, this foot is not a hand!
The patter...
Holding the drawing board above your head and running quickly will not reduce the area covered by rain, but it will give people a sense of comfort.
Oreki classmate did not consider bringing an umbrella. To avoid the rain, he rushed directly into the park. There was Pavilion there for resting.
This is also the place where Mitsuha's father, as the mayor, is not very popular among the villagers.
He would approve spending a lot of money to ask talents from the village to come back to teach, and he would also spend a lot of money to build a park that integrates pools, courtyards, and forests like now.
The environment is beautiful.
But people in the village just think it's a waste of money.
In fact, from the perspective of a high-level manager, Mitsuha's father actually did a good job.
He was probably really investing in developing the town.
The purpose of building a park now is to develop tourism in the future.
Itomori Town has no specialties and is a bit isolated, but the natural environment is first-rate and beautiful.
If you want to increase your finances, you need to invest in this area.
However.
If from the perspective of Yotsuba and Mitsuha, if they want their father to come back home, then classmate Oreki might consider destroying Miyamizu's father's efforts.
Let him not be re-elected as mayor.
Classmate Oreki was thinking this way, and he had already arrived at the Pavilion in the park with his drawing board.
Pavilion is built near the water, with a wide pool on one side and a small forest on the other side, giving it an unexpectedly close-to-nature beauty.
Oreki classmate still overestimated himself.
When I came to the Pavilion, I just wanted to try whether to use Teleportation.
But it was so scary for grandma to see him suddenly appear at home.
And classmate Oreki found that there were also people hiding from the rain in the Pavilion.
Although she was hiding from the rain, he found that the other party had an umbrella, and the umbrella was not wet at all, indicating that she was here before it rained.
"Do you need tissues?"
Oreki put down his painting tools on the bench and found that a snow-white arm as white as a lotus root suddenly appeared in front of him.
Looking up at the other person's delicate hands, Oreki saw a face that could be said to be extremely beautiful.
No, it should be Rain Girl.
Her skin is so white that it's almost sickly. If you touch it even slightly, it might feel as cold as rain.
She has soft, short hair with a light color. Through the gaps in her hair, she can see her long eyelashes, which are as black as ink.
Her neck and shoulders were so thin that they seemed to break at the slightest break. Her voice was sweet and warm, like a child's voice.
She was wearing a formal dress that didn't match the park, and her feet were also in traditional high heels, but she was really a strange woman.
Objectively speaking, she is a beauty, and she should be considered a great beauty.
This allows even people who are not very interested in people to be convinced that this person is beautiful.
However, I always feel that her beauty is not like that of a human being. It is more like the distant clouds, towering peaks, or rabbits and deer in the snowy mountains, just like a part of the beauty of nature.
Like a rain girl.
"Thank you..."
Oreki classmate thanked him. He knew that this was the other person's help after seeing that his clothes were wet.
And now he uses the appearance of Mitsuha, so the other party also thinks that he is just a girl.
A girl doesn't seem to need any reason to help a girl. But if she knew he was a boy, it's hard to say whether she would do the same thing.
"At this time, wearing school uniform, and then running out..."
A woman's voice is very nice and sweet.
It makes people feel that if she recited poetry, it would be very charming.
Because classmate Oreki saw a book of poems by Tsangyang Gyatso in her hand.
And the page she opened read:
[Whether you see me or not, I am right there, neither sad nor happy.
Whether you miss me or not, the love is there and never comes or goes.
Whether you love me or not, the love is there, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Come into my arms, or let me live in your heart.]
