"How is this going-?"
After returning home, Madarame Liusai stared at the opened door in front of him, why did the door that should have been locked...
"No... That teacher, listen to my explanation." Kitagawa Yusuke said quickly: "I don't know why this door was opened, maybe I forgot to close it?"
"Huh? Speaking of which, what's inside?" Gao Juanxing said as he pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hey - wait! You little girl, who let you in!" Madarame Liusai shouted ugly, losing his usual calmness.
In the room, there are almost identical paintings—Sayuri.
This painting is also the painting that led Yusuke Kitagawa on the road of painting.
Because...he felt that the women in the painting were too beautiful. There is a strange feeling that attracts him very much.
But there are countless sheets in this room.
Not only that...
On the drawing board right in the middle of the room... that...
Kitagawa Yusuke knew that it must be genuine!
He is the path of painting led by this painting. Other paintings may not be recognizable, but this... must, must be true!
"Teacher, what is going on here? Shouldn't [Sayuri] be stolen?"
"It's fake!" Madarame Liusai insisted, "I copied it myself!"
Then... under the pressure of Kitagawa Yusuke, Madarame Ryusai simply called the police.
"Very well, everything is as expected, Ms. Xing, this way!"
"Yeah." Gao Juanxing ran out with Morgana after speaking.
"Cat? Where did it come from?" Madarame Liusai frowned: "It's useless to run, the police will come in less than two minutes!"
"Takamaki-san." The next moment, Kitagawa Yusuke also ran out.
In the room, Madarame Ryusai shook his head and sighed: "Forgive me...Yusuke..." As he spoke, he looked at the portrait with a somewhat complicated expression.
The reason why this painting will attract Kitagawa is no one knows better than him...
Because... this is the self-portrait of Kitagawa Yusuke's mother.
"Since then... all the way to the present, but... there is no room for regret." Madarame Ryusai said and slowly closed his eyes: "How could I go back to the life I had before! "
There is no doubt that he and Kitagawa Yusuke lived together for several years...
Although, he is also used as a prop to make money, but... how could it be without emotion. It's just...even so—
"Don't force me, Yusuke."
…
"Very good—everyone has come in!" Morgana looked at the surroundings and said, "Let's run away quickly, this is not a game, it's impossible to be as leisurely as before."
"This is...where?" Kitagawa Yusuke was a little dazed looking at the magnificent scenery around him.
"The inner world, Madarame's inner world." Takamaki Xing looked at Kitagawa Yusuke who was half lying on the ground and said.
"Teacher's... heart?" Kitagawa Yusuke stood up slowly: "Miss Takamaki... sorry, are you okay?"
"We have no reason to lie to you. This is the place like that. That Madarame used you and other disciples as his props, in exchange for money... How is it in this world, you yourself Wouldn't it be good to see it?"
"..." Kitagawa Yusuke looked around and was stunned.
"Okay - stop talking, let's run!"
"Say... talked!? The plush toy talked?" Kitagawa Yusuke widened his eyes and took a step back. The impact of this matter is also very strong.
"What are you talking about? Ryuji, you bastard! I'm a human being, not a cat—" Morgana said and shook his head: "Besides, I've already talked about it from the beginning... In short, run away —”
"Um-"
"Hey—explain, what's going on?" Seeing the people who were about to leave, Kitagawa Yusuke said hastily.
Too many things happened today, his brain can't bear it at all...
"Let's explain the rest of the way!"
After talking, a few people ran towards the exit. Kitagawa Yusuke shook his head and hurriedly followed.
I can't believe what happened, but...
"To put it simply, this is Madarame's inner world, and the surrounding scenery is what he thinks the place he lives should be." Gao Juanxing said while running: "The portraits here...you know Is it?"
While speaking, several people had arrived at the room full of portraits.
"This is...? These paintings..." Yusuke Kitagawa's pupils shrank, and those people on it...some of them he knew and had seen before!
"These are all Madarame's disciples, of course, you are also inside." Sakamoto Ryuji said and looked around.
coming soon...
The place where Madarame appeared in the game is also the place where Kitagawa Yusuke awakened—
Puff--
Sure enough, the next moment, two guards suddenly appeared at the front gate and blocked them.
Madarame, who was wearing a golden robe behind him, appeared with laughter like a daimyo lord.
"Welcome to Madarame Great Painter's Art Museum!"
"Tsk... This face, no matter how many times I've seen it, I feel very disgusting!" Ryuji Sakamoto gritted his teeth.
"Oh? Is it... Teacher?" Kitagawa Yusuke stared at the person who appeared in front of his eyes in disbelief.
"Why is [Sayuri] that should have been stolen placed in the vault? There are obviously genuine ones, so why are there so many copies made?" Kitagawa Yusuke said with a low expression.
"Haven't you found out, childish brat!" As the 'Madarame in the heart', he didn't hide at all and directly said what was in his heart: "The so-called [stolen] was released by me." Rumors! Everything is a well-planned show!"
"what happened?"
"Have you ever thought about such a situation?" Madarame said with a smile: "[Although I found the genuine product, but it cannot be made public because of all the circumstances] [So I want to transfer it at a special price]...haha! How, this A [special feeling]! Those ordinary people just waved the banknotes and took the bait!"
"how come..."
"The value of the painting is only derived from [wishful thinking], then I am a legitimate [economic behavior]! But... the little devils can't think of it." Madarame Yilisai laughed: "Art is just a thing. [Props]! It’s only used to earn money and fame, so you have to help me earn money, Yusuke.”
"Sure enough... No matter how many times I hear this kind of words, I feel very angry." Ryuji Sakamoto looked at Kitagawa Yusuke who was half kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said, "But, that is your master."
"Then, what about those who believe in your talent... those who believe that you are a talented painter?" Kitagawa Yusuke's voice had a hint of tears in it.
"I don't want to waste any more words, Yusuke. If you want to go on in the world of painters, don't fight against me. Do you think you can get ahead if you fight against me? Hahahaha!"
"...I'm tired of what I said, it should be..."
"...There is no forgiveness for this crime!"
"Huh?" Madarame looked back at Kitagawa Yusuke with some doubts.
"It's an unforgivable crime, no matter who you are, it's an unforgivable crime!"
"Having raised you for so many years, but in the end, you're repaying your kindness... Dead brat?"
"Interesting... huh... huh..."
"It looks like it's coming." Morgana looked at Kitagawa and didn't know what expression to use. Generally speaking, he should be happy to have more partners, but...
"The strangeness in the world is better than books, and I hate myself for not being able to understand my eyes...I always tell myself that this is impossible...For so many years, I have been blinding my eyes, and I can't even see through the truth of people. , the so-called eyes but no pearls...does it refer to my eyes!?"
