After eating and buying supplies... everyone headed for the scenic area.
Although they were all in the same class, they split into groups of varying sizes. Here... Rita, Shiina Mashiro, and Fukaya Shiho formed a group of three as well.
"It's so quiet!"
"Yeah. Painting in an environment like this... with no one to disturb us, inspiration really does come much more easily."
As Rita looked over the surrounding fields, she was reminded of an anime she had watched before, Yuyushiki.
It was an incredibly soothing anime. It was clearly just the most ordinary things in the countryside, yet watching it could relax a person completely, no matter how irritated they had been.
One of the heroines in that anime was also called Renka—Miyauchi Renka. But... she was only a little girl in her first year of elementary school, completely different from that DVD seller.
Miyauchi Renka was adorable, and even the way she greeted people differed from ordinary people: Nyanpasu!
Sometimes it wasn't wrong to say that the two-dimensional world was paradise. Real life was far from easy. Most people were ordinary people, working for their jobs and studies.
From morning to night every day, they might even have to work overtime during regular holidays. Even during the Spring Festival... they would hurriedly return home to celebrate for a few days, then before the New Year was even over... hurriedly rush back to the company for overtime work or back to school for supplementary classes!
Compared with the lives of Miyauchi Renka and the others in something like Yuyushiki, though simple and ordinary... it truly was paradise in many people's hearts.
Carefree, with leisurely daily lives just like its name.
They did not need to worry about grades or performance... much less mortgages or bride prices in the future.
