Outside the principal's office, Miyauchi Hikage, who had just finished handling the remaining procedures for Shiina Mashiro with Shiina Asahi, sneezed.
The ability from the name spell had been reminding him since just now that, within a hundred meters of him, two girls were frantically complaining about him.
Eriri and Old Fatty Kasumi, huh.
That's normal, so it's not strange.
It seemed that Shiina Mashiro's sudden transfer had caught Kasumigaoka Utaha off guard, and now she was shifting all the blame onto his head.
Speaking of which, he had gotten another volume of the Passerby Heroine novel yesterday. He had now obtained up to the sixth volume, and the serialization in the diary had already reached the third volume.
In order to help Shiina Mashiro create her manga with her whole heart, he would work a little harder these next few days and try to get the full set of the Passerby Heroine novel and anime out.
As he was thinking this in his heart, Shiina Asahi on the side also found this time to be alone with him.
"Miyauchi Hikage-san, it should be no problem for me to just call you Hikage, right?"
Shiina Asahi looked at Miyauchi Hikage, who was slightly taller than himself, and issued an invitation to chat.
It just so happened that Miyauchi Hikage didn't know much about Shiina Mahiru's father either and didn't know what his views on her were. So he temporarily ignored the situation on Kasumigaoka's side and nodded at him.
"Although it's almost time for class, the principal should help say a few words. Let's take a little walk on the school's sports field and, by the way, chat a little about Mashiro and Mahiru's affairs."
The weather today was very nice. Walking on the sports field, the feeling of basking in the sun was still very comfortable.
Shiina Asahi also seemed to be thinking about how to start the conversation. After walking for about half a lap, he finally slowed down his steps and asked about Miyauchi Hikage's family situation.
"Listening to your sister's accent, you two probably aren't from Tokyo, are you? How does the pressure of studying in Tokyo feel?"
So he's starting to confirm our family backgrounds, to see if we're a good match.
Miyauchi Hikage retorted in his heart.
"It's alright. My sister doesn't have much pressure to advance to a higher school. At that time, if she wants to go to university, she can go. If she doesn't want to study anymore, she can also do what she wants to do."
"As for me, I still haven't decided whether to apply for Todai or the Tokyo University of the Arts. But after all, I'm only a first-year high school student now, so there's no need to be in such a hurry to make a decision."
Either the University of Tokyo or the Tokyo University of the Arts.
One is the best university in Japan, the other is the only national art university in Japan. The difference between the two seems to be a bit large.
If it were anyone else who had said this, Shiina Asahi might not have taken it to heart.
But listening to Miyauchi Hikage's calm tone, it inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction, as if he could really do it.
If this young man is not an incompetent fool with high ambitions but little talent, then he is a true talent.
And judging from his words, their family should also be people of some status.
Shiina Asahi thought for a moment and then continued to chat on the topic of university, wanting to know what path he would take if he chose the Tokyo University of the Arts.
"It would probably be film or photography. After all, although I filmed videos in my hometown for a few years, it was an unorthodox path, and I'm still far from a professional level."
Miyauchi Hikage once again showed his identity as the great director of Asahigaoka, which, as expected, also caused a change in Shiina Asahi's eyes.
He naturally wouldn't think those videos were cringey or unrefined. He valued more the series of benefits produced by those videos.
When he attended some cocktail parties, he had also heard that many places were already planning to imitate Asahigaoka's method to do some local promotion.
He just hadn't expected that those videos were filmed by the young man in front of him in order to revitalize his own hometown.
At this moment, he was somewhat convinced that Miyauchi Hikage was not bragging, and also began to admire his niece's judgment.
Not long after returning to Japan, she was able to find such an eccentric genius by her side.
However, in that case, it seemed he would not be able to complete the instructions of his older brother.
Let Shiina Mashiro experience the life of a mangaka for a year or two. When she found that she didn't have the ability in this area after drawing for a year or two, then bring her back.
Shiina Mashiro's parents actually also had a hands-off attitude towards her, it was just that they were a little more responsible than him, this failed father.
Before Shiina Mashiro came to Japan, his older brother had asked this of him.
His previous attitude was also similar. Besides feeling that he should let his niece relax a little for a year or two before she became an adult, and by the way, she should also become a little more mature through the failure of her manga, he was also thinking of using her name to ease the relationship with his own daughter a little.
He just hadn't expected that his niece would find such an eccentric genius as Miyauchi Hikage. If she really achieved something in these one or two years with his help, then how would he explain it to his older brother?
He felt a little like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
Judging from his daughter's attitude, she was clearly on Shiina Mashiro's side. If he were to stop it, he was afraid that his idea of easing his relationship with his daughter would be completely dashed.
After thinking for a while, he still sighed.
It's better to see the situation first. He doesn't want to pop out and be the villain right now.
"Mashiro lacks a bit of common sense, and her way of thinking is also a little different from ordinary people. If you want to help her, it will probably be very hard in the future."
"Although these things should have been our responsibility as elders, the situation between me and Mahiru's mother is rather complicated. You should be able to sense some of it, right?"
Miyauchi Hikage nodded, indicating that as long as one wasn't as carefree as his second sister, anyone could sense the problem.
Even Shiina Mashiro could sense it, which was why she hadn't taken the initiative to say anything to Shiina Asahi from beginning to end.
"Although that daughter of mine looks very independent and strong, I can also feel the rift and rejection she has towards me and her mother. Even if something really happens, she will definitely not take the initiative to come to me or her mother."
"At this point, I no longer think I can completely obtain Mahiru's forgiveness. I'm just worried that she will keep putting too much pressure on herself."
"So I hope that you and your sister can help me take more care of the two of them. If you really run into any problems that can't be solved, you can also contact me. I will try my best to help without letting Mahiru notice."
Miyauchi Hikage could hear the self-blame in this man's voice.
It seemed that compared to Shiina Mahiru's mother, who was completely unwilling to take responsibility and just wanted to completely cut off contact after she came of age, this man still had some regrets in his heart and therefore wanted to secretly make up for it now.
However, this man probably wouldn't get a call for help from him.
If he really ran into a problem that even he couldn't solve, then calling him for help would be even more meaningless.
