Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-46

Yuuki was stunned when he saw the girl in front of him. He didn't expect to see her in this world. He really liked her character in his previous world.

'Don't worry, I'll make you happy,' Yuuki thought when he saw the girl in front of him. He saw her take a book from her bag and wrote something.

She showed her book, [Yes?]

Yuuki knew that she couldn't hear him so he took out his phone and wrote, [Can I help you?] He couldn't sign language. He could only talk to her on the phone.

She looked quite stunned when she read it but nodded at him.

Yuuki wrote something on his phone and said, "Did you lose something?"

She nodded in response and wrote something in her book, [I lost my hearing aids.]

Yuuki wrinkled his eyebrows, he knew that hearing aids were quite small and it was hard to find, especially when it was night. He wrote something on his phone and showed it to her, [Don't worry, I'll help you].

She read it and became happy that someone would help her.

Yuuki nodded at her and helped her search for her hearing aids. He looked around the street to find her hearing aids. He knew it wasn't easy to search for such small things but he didn't complain. He needed to find it for the girl in front of him.

They kept searching for her hearing aids until Yuuki found it near the pole of the street. He was happy that he found it and hurriedly went to the girl. He wanted her to hear his voice.

Yuuki walked toward her and tapped her shoulder. She turned her head and saw him find her hearing aids.

She was happy and bowed her head several times. She took her book and wrote, [Thank you].

Yuuki took out his phone and wrote, [Don't worry about it]. He gave her hearing aids and she took it happily. She inserted her hearing aids into her ears and her expression told him to say something.

Yuuki nodded in response, "Can you hear me?"

She frowned when she couldn't hear anything. She took out her hearing aids and checked it again. She felt that her hearing aids were broken when they were thrown away. She hung her head until she felt someone tapping her shoulder. She looked up and saw Yuuki write something on his phone.

[Is it broken?] She nodded weakly in response.

Yuuki frowned at her response. He needed to do something and remembered that he had gotten a reward from his quest earlier. He hurriedly took it from his pocket and gave it to her.

She was confused when she saw Yuuki take something from his pocket. She was waiting for him and was surprised by it. She saw him take new hearing aids from his pocket. She saw him write something on his phone.

[You can have it]. She was startled and shook her head hard. She knew that hearing aids weren't something cheap. It was quite costly and she didn't want to take it from someone she didn't know.

She looked at him and wrote something again on his phone, [Why?]

She nodded and wrote something on her book, [Because I don't know you, I can't make you give me something so expensive]. She had never seen this kind of model of hearing aids. She knew it was definitely several times expensive than her usual hearing aids.

She thought that he would be angry when she didn't accept his hearing aids but she was stunned when she saw him do a sign language.

Yuuki was frowning when he saw her rejected his present. He wanted to know why he rejected it. He was waiting for a while and she wrote, [Because I don't know you, I can't make you give me something so expensive.]

Yuuki was thinking that this girl had the heart of an angel. He really liked her and wanted to help her. He knew she was Shouko Nishimiya. She was deaf and couldn't hear him. He knew that actually she wasn't completely dead but because of bullying acts during her elementary school made permanent damage to one of her ears completely.

Yuuki wanted to beat them up and kill the social life of the one who made these kinds of things to her but he shook his head. He needed to give this hearing aid to her.

Yuuki took a deep breath and tried to remember one of sign language he remembered from the movie 'Koe no Katachi'.

Yuuki pointed his index finger at himself. Then he pointed his index finger at her. After that, he linked both of his hands as if someone were hugging. One of his hands was in reverse, then he moved it up and down.

"Will you be my friend?" Yuuki said.

Shouko was stunned and let out tears in her eyes.

Yuuki panicked and didn't know what to do. He hurriedly took out his phone and wrote, [What's wrong? You didn't want to be my friend?]

Shouko shook her head hard and wrote in her book, [No! It's the first time someone asked me like this].

Yuuki sighed in relief and wrote, [So? Will you be my friend?]

Shouko nodded hard and smiled at him.

Yuuki was stunned for a while looking at her smile. He smiled and wrote again on his phone, [My name is Ichijou Yuuki, what is yours?]

Shouko nodded and wrote in her book, [My name is Nishimiya Shouko, nice to meet you].
