NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

I don't want to lose...

Tanaka stared slowly with big eyes.

Like it really is?

Yeah, that's it.

This mood, as they say, is actually simple.

I just don't want to lose!

“You're right, Shore Teacher.” He shows a simple smile that is different from what was just complicated.

“I just don't want to lose… I want to illustrate my favorite novel and want this job. ”

“I don't want to lose to anyone else, even the author of the novel - you! ”

Qingshi also smiled.

“I'm glad that 'Brother Tales' gets the kind of love you get. ”

“I didn't create this piece alone, and the partner wanted me to illustrate the novel. ”

“I promised, and that became what I wanted to do. ”

“I don't want to lose, even if I can't even call myself a painter, and my opponent is a first-rate illustrator's ghost teacher you. ”

The two look at each other and their will collides with each other's eyes.

“Let's get started. ”

“Mmm.”

Tanaka and Qingshi took out their paintings and put them on the table and moved them to the other side.

Qingshi picked up Teacher Ghost Soldier's painting and looked closely.

Awesome!

That's the first thought.

The ghost soldiers teacher painted images of male protagonists and villains fighting each other with weapons. The composition was very well done, and at first glance it seemed to be quite momentous.

The scene particularly highlights the disgusting appearance of the opposition behind its true appearance, half of its face looks like a ghost of terror, and half of its face still looks like a beautiful girl. This two-sided human appearance creates a visual impact with a strong contrast, which is impressive.

This is not what the opposition described in the novel article looks like when it comes to revealing its true face, but painting it this way is within the description and obviously works well.

Qingshi all came up with the idea of changing the description of the novel according to this painting.

This is the strength of a first-rate illustrator!

Not only do the images match the description of the novel, but even go beyond the author's imagination to the extent that they in turn affect the author.

In addition to the villains, the male protagonist's theological portrayal is excellent, and he can feel the strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and the stripes that appear on his face like a crest are also cool.

Actions, Clothing, Weapons, Rendering…… Keep a closer look.

On the other side, Tanaka takes a closer look at the painting of the shore teacher.

So delicate!

This was Tanaka's first surprise.

The other painted the male protagonist confronting the opposition, and the moment the war was about to begin, the whole scene revealed a sense of tension that was about to explode.

Characters, costumes, weapons, shadows, renderings… the level of detail is clearly higher than he painted!

Higher precision, better perception at first glance, higher so-called “texture” or “completion”.

Tanaka can also draw his own paintings to this precision, but not enough time.

In other words, they draw much faster than him!

Losing at speed… precision, like being punched hard and suppressed by hard forces.

What about the content of the screen?

Tanaka saw three characters.

The male protagonist who drew his weapon, turned into a demon rebel, and the female protagonist who stood by in the corner.

How dare you draw the heroine as a bystander!?

When Tanaka first saw it, he thought it was a deduction point, but after a closer look, he realized it wasn't.

The female protagonist is in the shadow and does not seem easy to notice at first sight. The reader's first concern must be male protagonists and villains, and only when they look closely will they find the girl in the shadows.

The heroine is the narrator and the biggest suspense of the novel. When you see this beautiful girl in the illustration, readers who haven't finished reading the novel will think she's just a bystander, a character background.

However, if you take a closer look at this person, or read the illustration after reading the novel, you'll feel a little different.

Looking at her, she looked strange, like caring about the male lead, like wearing a mask, her eyes were deep, she smiled, she felt weird and mysterious.

This feeling fits in with the overall atmosphere of the work, which elevates the whole view, not just the protagonist against the opposition, but also contains something else… something that runs through the whole work but is always unclear.

Tanaka had nothing but admiration for it.

Worthy of being the author of a novel… this is an excellent illustration that only the author of a novel can draw.

……

“I lost. ”

After comparing each other's paintings with their own, Tanaka came to this conclusion.

He put the painting back on the table and moved it to the other side.

“You win, Shore Teacher... I will give up this job as promised. ”

“Thank you, Ghost Teacher. ”

Qingshi handed the painting back directly to the other party.

“Don't say ’thank you' … I lost orally this time. ”

Tanaka picked up his painting, looked at it and tore it off.

“Wait!” said Qingshi.

“This is a good painting, Ghost Teacher. If you don't want to keep it, can you give it to me? ”

Tanaka was surprised.

“Why do you……………”

“I said, this is a good painting and I love it.” Qingshi is sincere, “Teacher, you paint the opposition better than I thought, I want to change the novel description in the image of the teacher painting. ”

Tanaka blinked.

Then smile faintly.

“Well... it's not a waste of time to draw this painting. ”

He took another look at his paintings and handed them to each other.

“Thank you." Qing Shi politely accepted.

Tanaka drank a sip of already chilled black coffee and experienced the bitter taste of her mouth before looking at the teenager across the street.

“Teacher Shore, how old are you? ”

“I'm sixteen.” Qingshi replied.

“Sixteen years old… senior year student.” Tanaka sighed.

“That's amazing. When you're a freshman, you can write such a good novel and draw such a good painting... this is called genius. ”

“I'm 22 years old, I've been drawing carefully since junior high school, I started casting comic books in high school, I won a prize for senior year, and I've been treading in place ever since... and I can even say it's backwards. ”

“I see the limits of my abilities… I hate to believe that this is my limits, but it does exist, like an insurmountable high wall. ”

“I used to think I was talented. ”

“But it was just an illusion, and the moment I thought I was talented, it was actually the moment I reached the end. ”

“I'm just a mediocre... a true genius, someone like you, a shore teacher. ”

“You can write good stories and draw good drawings. If you're targeting cartoons, it won't take long to get out or even serialize them. ”

“And how long will I... struggle? Will it succeed? Shouldn't we give up on this… so-called dream? ”

Tanaka leaned against his seat and his eyes were slightly distracted.

Instead of speaking to Qingshi, he spoke to himself.

As a failed painter, he expresses his confusion, whoever listens.

“Dream, is a beautiful and cruel word. ”

Seiji looked at each other and said calmly.

“If you really don't want to suffer anymore, give it up. ”
