Start By Becoming A Mangaka

"What is this?" Reiko observed the fish inside the aquarium which was getting big and small, "It is cute."

"Do you love it?"

Reiko was startled and turned. She saw him there looking quite sloppy. She wanted to laugh and said, "You should take a bath, we\'re going out later."

"Where?" Yuuki asked.

"This is just one of my habits but I have always to go to nature before my concert, you\'re my bodyguard and you should protect me, right?" Reiko said.

Yuuki looked at her for a bit and nodded, "Alright."

"Oh, what fish is this?" Reiko asked.

"This is pufferfish, I think that your apartment is a bit lonely, I will bring you a little friend here so you won\'t be lonely when I\'m away from here," Yuuki said.

"Away?" Reiko raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah, I will be your bodyguard until the concert is over, after that, I will go back to my house," Yuuki said and added, "I will take a bath now."

Reiko felt her heart tightened when she thought that he would leave her alone. She had forgotten the fact that he was only living here for a few days but she had gotten to his presence, seeing his sloppy appearance, eating breakfast together, and a lot of things. She looked at the pufferfish inside the aquarium absentmindedly.

Reiko felt her eyes were a bit wet and wiped it, \'Tears?\' She shook her head and opened the door.

"Ah, Big sister, I came to play," Conan appeared in front of her.

"What are you doing here, kid?" Reiko felt annoyed by him.

"Excuse me," Conan entered the apartment suddenly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Reiko asked.

"I want to train my singing ability, Reiko-sensei," Conan said.

"Ah, that\'s right, you have tone-deaf," Reiko nodded but said, "Sorry, but I can\'t train you right now."

"Eh??" Conan looked around and looked at her room. She saw a photo of a man and a flute there.

Reiko hurriedly closed the door and said, "You\'re 10 years too early to have an interest in a woman\'s room."

Conan heard a sound coming from the bathroom, "Are you living with someone?"

"It\'s not your problem," Reiko said and added, "Get out!"

"What\'s wrong?"

Reiko and Conan turned and saw him there only wearing a white towel that was wrapped in his waist.

"Conan, what are you doing here?" Yuuki twitched his lips.

"Huh? Yuuki-nii, what are you doing here?" Conan blinked his eyes and looked at Reiko, "Don\'t tell me that both of you have that kind of relationship?"

Reiko knocked his head, "You talk too much."

"It hurt!" Conan said while holding his head.

Reiko looked at him and said, "Hurry up and wear your clothes!"

"Yeah," Yuuki laughed and went to his room.

Conan was really wondering how Yuuki could get into her room. He thought for a bit and said, "Ah, that pufferfish is cute."

Reiko sighed looking at this little kid.

Reiko and Yuuki went out together.

"Why are you following us?\' Reiko asked.

"Nothing, I\'m just walking the same way as you," Conan said.

"Conan, walk beside us, I don\'t want someone to say that we\'re bullying you or anything," Yuuki said.

"Yes!!!" Conan felt glad for him.

"Why did you let him go with us?" Reiko asked.

"He is very persistent and won\'t give up on following us, it is better for him to walk beside us rather than behind us since a lot of people will think that we\'re a family," Yuuki said.

"Family?" Reiko and Conan were confused.

"Father," Yuuki pointed at himself, "Mother," he pointed at Reiko, "Adopted child," he pointed at Conan.

Reiko blushed in response.

Conan twitched his lips, \'An adopted child?\'

"If we have a kid then our children are cuter than this naughty child," Yuuki said while looking at Conan.

"Oi!" Conan complained.

"Don\'t talk nonsense, let\'s go," Reiko snorted and looked away. She didn\'t want him to see her blush.

Three of them walked to the park that was still full of trees. They could feel nature and the fresh air in this place.

"Do you know why I\'m taking a walk through the forest on the day before a concert?" Reiko said.

"Why?" Yuuki asked.

"I want to capture the natural world inside of me, it\'s because in European music is born out of the natural surroundings," Reiko said and looked at him, "Do you understand this meaning?"

"No," Yuuki shook his head.

Reiko sighed in response.

Both of them walked into this forest while talking about a lot of things.

Conan who was by their side was ignored by them.

Suddenly it was only for a moment and they heard a gunshot.

BAAM!

Yuuki moved and protected her but his shoulder was shot by the bullet. He wrinkled his eyebrow when he saw the one who had done it. He gave him tracker magic to make him unable to escape from him.

"YUUKI!!!!" Reiko was panicked.

"Calm down," Yuuki took a stone and threw it toward the shooter.

BAAAM!

The speed of the stone was similar to a professional pitcher baseball and hit a gun from the shooter.

The shooter was startled and ran away.

"Yuuki, are you okay?" Reiko saw blood coming out of his shoulder, "Blood!"

"You don\'t need to worry about small bullets," Yuuki said.

\'We need to bring you to the hospital!" Reiko said.

"I have called the hospital!" Conan said.

Yuuki sighed when he thought that they were exaggerated. He took out the bullet from his body with his muscle movement making both of their mouths gaping wide open. He took out a bandage in his pocket, "Can you help me close the wound?" He took out the bottle of vodka that he had kept and poured it into his wound.

Reiko and Conan were a bit dumbfounded by his actions and a lot of things but nodded.
