My daily life with the Shiina sisters

Just when Mashiro was trying to practice bit by bit according to the contents of the teaching book, Imagawa Kaede sent a line to Ryuju Tao.

[Are you there? Are you free this afternoon? ]

"Yeah, nothing much."

【Then come shopping with us. 】

"Tsk, I thought you would ask me out alone."

[Isn't it because we haven't found the right opportunity? I should have told you before that we plan to go to Karuizawa for a while. ]

"If you're worried that I'll be lonely in Tokyo, don't worry. I hope you and Mahiru have fun over there."

Looking at this strange news, Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but smile.

[I guess it’s not just me and Mahiru this time. 】

"Imagawa-san will be there too?"

[Mahiru's cousin is called Shiina Mashiro. We picked her up from the airport today. You can search her name.]

……

"A talented and beautiful girl painter, you won't... dislike her.jpg"

In response, Imagawa Kaede said to the person who was still trying to draw on the digital tablet:

"Mashiro, can I take a picture of you?"

Hearing this, Mashiro's attention left the screen: "Yeah."

With a "click", a fresh photo comes out.

"Wouldn't you like to come and join us?"

After hearing this, Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's okay if you don't want to take a photo. Mashiro can continue to contact you."

After hearing what he said, Shiina Mashiro turned back and continued to draw lines on the drawing tablet.

[Yes, yes, yes, if you think about it carefully, she is indeed fair-skinned and beautiful, especially her eyes are very pretty. Zhenbai's photo.jpg]

"You bastard! Tell me how you want me to cooperate."

[Cooperate with what? ] Imagawa Kaede asked knowingly.

"You've been talking nonsense for so long, aren't you just trying to get me to go to Karuizawa with you guys?"

[As expected of Sister Taozi, she is really smart. 】

"Instead of talking about whether I'm smart or not, I'd rather talk about whether you're a pervert or not."

[What's wrong with me???] Imagawa Kaede thought she was going to say something about sisters...

"Before, you knew to hide it from Mahiru, but now... you like the feeling of hiding it from her? In front of her... you're a pervert."

[You were the first to start it.] Imagawa Kaede was speechless for a moment about her being the first to complain.

"Okay, tell me how I should cooperate."

……

After some secret planning, Imagawa Kaede went downstairs to start his own preparations.

"Mahiru, how about we go buy an iPad for Mashiro first, then pick out a laptop and a digital tablet, and also get me a digital screen."

"She really wants to learn comics?" Mahiru said in surprise after putting Aqua on the ground.

"It should be true. It doesn't seem like it was just a spur of the moment thing."

"No, I have to go and persuade her... Hey, I... Feng, do you think we should persuade her?"

"From what I've seen, she should be well protected. I guess she may be a little... lacking in common sense when doing things other than drawing. And her talent in drawing is not something that cannot be brought to the comics industry. Besides, she can also learn a lot of common sense in the process. Although someone is taking care of her, she still needs to know some basic things."

"So you approve of her choice?"

"No, I don't think it has anything to do with approval or disapproval. Whether she wants to draw comics or not, she is still your cousin. And she doesn't need to worry about her future career or even her life. It's her own business whether she is willing to use her talents. It's also her own business to choose what path to take. After all, she can be said to have no worries. Besides, what if she doesn't want to draw anymore after spending some time?"

"I'm afraid her family will blame you if they find out."

"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about that at all."

What is lacking behind these artists is the sponsor. After all, there are only a few painters who can create a school of thought. And the value of other works without so much commemorative significance is still determined by others. Otherwise, Van Gogh would not have been so poor during his lifetime. The few paintings he sold were bought by his brother to help him. In other words, Van Gogh's paintings were worthless at the time. It is just a nice way to say that art is priceless. When those art dealers operate paintings, they also buy them at a low price, then package and hype them, and finally sell them at a high price. Isn't it very similar to the star-making in the entertainment industry? In fact, many commodities related to culture are just the same.

Although Imagawa Kaede is a painter himself, he still knows a thing or two about the ins and outs of this. What's even darker is that in some so-called art exchange venues, bribery is carried out in a similar way. After all, the price of this kind of thing fluctuates so much. To give a more direct example, if you take a painting to an auction house for auction and find two people to raise the price, although the auction house will take a portion of it, the person who finally gets the painting to be auctioned will also get a lot.

Giving it away with real money is just too lame.

However, while the two were chatting, Mahiru's cell phone suddenly rang, and when she answered it, the voice from the other end came through.

"Mahiru, do you have time? Come shopping with me this afternoon."

"This is a little bit..."

"Is it not possible? Because of that annoying guy Imagawa Kaede from time to time."

"no……"

Imagawa Kaede was next to Mahiru, and Mahiru did not avoid him when she answered the phone, so naturally he could hear Momoko's voice clearly on the other end of the phone.

He first sighed in his heart about Long Zhutao's acting skills, and then said:

"Why don't you just accompany her? Mashiro and I have a lot to buy anyway, so we can take a look together then."
