Mahiru, satisfied with her drawing, finally lifts the notebook to reveal her work to Shidou.
“Ta-da! I drew you and Kazui-san! Aren’t you two so cute?~”
Giggling, she slides the notebook and the pencil back to Shidou.
“Your turn! What do you want to draw? Or do you want to surprise me?” she asks, curiously looking up at him.
He turns back to look, hands still politely folded on his lap.
"Ah..? That's very cute, Shiina-kun... You've captured both of our likenesses very well. Really, you've got quite some artistic skill... You've even drawn my moles" He smiles, pointing to the moles on his face.
It reminds him of......
"...... Oh, hm... I suppose... I will surprise you, then..." He gently takes the notebook and pencil, setting it down on his lap. "... Do try not to look... it would be better as a surprise." He asks gently.
“I would never ever forget your moles. I think it’s one of your most defining features! Lots of people call them ‘beauty marks,’ instead of moles, when they’re on your face. I always see models with beauty marks in my women’s magazines,” Mahiru eagerly explains.
She turns her head away from him and shuts her eyes to avoid seeing the notebook.
“Okay! I won’t peek! Just let me know when you are done.~”
"Ah... really now? Well... I suppose they are pretty. My wife had moles under her eyes, too... They really were 'beauty marks' on her... She was very pretty."
He flips to a new page, doodling something, extremely focused, then stares at it for a moment before holding it up.
"... I drew you and Kashiki-kun, since you seem to have become friends..." He says, smiling, seeming somewhat proud of himself.
Mahiru gasps, delicately taking the notepad from Shidou to inspect it up close.
Despite the shaky penciled lines, Mahiru finds it endearing, like one would with a young child’s artwork.
“Aww!~ You made us look so cute! I haven’t had my portrait drawn in forever… so this is really special to me! Can I keep this page?” she requests, fluttering her eyelashes in an attempt to convince Shidou.
"I'm glad you like it, Shiina-kun... Yours was very cute, as well." He smiles at her, seeming somewhat proud of himself. "Ah, of course ... You can take the page, I don't mind. I'm honoured that you like it that much..."
It reminded him of drawing with his sons. He misses them.
“Of course I do! I’ll have to show Yuno-chan, too. I’m sure that she will love it just as much as I do!” Mahiru exclaims.
Carefully, she tries to free the page from the notebook, doing her best not to damage it. Again, it proves much harder than anticipated, unable to use her other arm to steady the notebook.
Luckily, she manages, but the hole punctures had left jagged edges along the top of the page. She sets it down on her lap to avoid creasing it.
“Hmm… my turn…” Mahiru picks up the pencil, absentmindedly drumming it against the new blank page. “Should I surprise you again?”
"Haha, I hope so... I did try." He smiles. "I tend to doodle a bit, just to pass the time... I believe I've drawn... Everyone here, at least once... Just out of boredom."
He reaches out awkwardly to try and help, but it seems Mahiru had it handled, and he places his hands back in his lap politely.
"ah..?" He tilts his head at her slightly, curious. "... You can surprise me, if you'd like. I'd appreciate anything, really. Your drawings are very cute... And I appreciate the effort alone, as well."
“Thank you! I am having a lot of fun with this already!” Mahiru turns the notebook away from view, pausing for a moment, before starting to scribble on the page.
“I wish that we had colored pencils or markers here. It would be so fun to experiment with them, too. Also, you’ll have to show me your self-portraits of everyone else here! I’ll try not to steal your other portrait of me,~” Mahiru jokes, briefly glancing up to give him a mischievous smile, before returning her focus to her drawing.
Then, she rotates the notebook on the bed to face him, dropping the pencil beside it.
“All done! I wanted to draw some animals using hearts! It was a trick I learned when I was little. This is how I draw my doggy…” Mahiru says, pointing to her first sketch, before dragging her finger towards the next, “and then this is that cute bunny that follows Es-kun around sometimes.~”
"Ah... That would be nice. I'm sure the younger kids would enjoy that, too... I wonder if Mukuhara-san or Kashiki-kun could request them." He muses. "Of course, of course... They should be somewhere in the notebook, I believe... I spend much of my time just doodling, to pass it by..."
"Ah..? You have a dog, Shiina-kun?" He asks politely, looking at the little drawings on the notebook. They're very cute, really. "Could you tell me more about it..? They're very cute drawings, really. You have quite the skill."
“That’s really sweet of you to say! I love making cute drawings.~” Mahiru props her elbow against the bed, resting her chin against her palm. “I used to have a dog. She isn’t gone, though! I put her in someone else’s care because I couldn’t take her with me and my boyfriend, even though I really wanted to…”
Mahiru smiles, a hint of melancholy in her eyes as she recalled the memory.
“I know it’s not the same, but I think it’s the closest I could get to taking care of a baby. Maybe I will be able to see her again one day. She might even have a doggy boyfriend by then.~”
"Ah..? My condolences... I'm sure that you'll be able to reunite with her, some day. It must have been hard, having to leave her behind." He says, trying to comfort her somehow. "I'm sure she misses you as well."
He hums, thinking to himself.
"I'm sure you could have children, somewhere down the line. You've got your whole life ahead of you... Though, I have heard of people "practicing" with pets, first. I'm sure you'd make a good parent." He smiles. "... Ah, maybe... That would be quite cute."
“I really hope I could be a good parent… maybe I will have to practice with pets once I get everything sorted out.”
Mahiru chuckles, though, there is a note of uncertainty in her voice.
“…Is it weird to hope that someone misses you, but not too much? I don’t want her to feel sad about me being gone. But I guess I do want to believe that there’s someone who wants to see me. Even if they are just a puppy, hehe…”
Her gaze returns to the sketch of her dog.
“I wish that I could show you an actual picture of her, too. She’s so much cuter in real life.”
"Mm, maybe. Though, I'm sure you'd be a wonderful parent... Even if not now, you could certainly learn to be one. You have the love that a child needs."
He fidgets with the blanket. "... I don't think so. It's... Always nice, to know someone misses you... That someone wants to see you again. It's... Nice. To have that constant presence... To know there's something to look forward to."
He's silent for a moment, tugging at his gloves.
"... Ah, I'm sure she is... I didn't have pets, but my sons... They always wanted a dog or a cat, haha."
“Dogs and cats do need more maintenance, so I imagine that getting one would be more hectic when you’re already juggling two little ones. I hear that lots of families start out with fish instead. Hehe… I have thought about this sort of thing a lot.~”
She twirls her hair around her finger, failing to suppress a grin. Shidou’s words about being a “wonderful parent” seemed to have flattered her quite a bit… even if it wasn’t a reality yet.
"Haha... I'm sure they would have put up a fuss if I got them a fish instead of a dog or cat... though, they seemed content with being told 'when you're older'... Ah... they really were good kids."
He continues to tug at his gloves, before he picks up the notebook gently.
"... Ah, I'm not exaggerating... really, you have the passion and care to become a wonderful parent." He insists gently, absentmindedly drawing something. "No one starts out perfect, after all. You seem willing to learn... which is something you need to do as a parent."
As Shidou begins to draw, Mahiru turns her head away from him to avoid looking at the notebook. Although not instructed to look away, she seemed to enjoy the “surprise” factor.
“I’m more than willing to learn. That’s why I’m happy that you’re giving me advice and all. Even if I can’t use it right now, I definitely will one day. No matter how long that may be.” Mahiru chuckles softly.
He laughs lightly as Mahiru turns away. It's sweet of her, to try to find joy even in these situations. He couldn't do that if he tried.
"Mhm... it's always good to learn. I'm sure... there will come a time where all that you've learnt will help. I'm sure of it." He assures her gently, before setting down his pencil.
"Ah... here, I've drawn the rabbit that follows Es-kun around, as well.... and a ray. I... I just like them."
"Ah..? I'm glad, haha." He smiles, somewhat proud of his work, or at least not ashamed in the slightest. "They're not quite as cute as the ones you drew... But I believe they are passable."
He smiles. "I have. The last time I went to an aquarium... A few years ago, right before we got married... My wife and I. I pet one of the rays in the touch pool... They're very cute. We got too busy to visit the aquarium after marriage, especially when my son was born, but... We... always intended to bring them, one day." He looks downcast, staring at his hands. "... We should have gone sooner." he mutters.
“Ah…” Mahiru murmurs, frowning slightly. “…I’m really sorry about that. I can understand it, too.. going to the aquarium with your partner seems really romantic, and it’s something that I wanted to experience… with him.”
After flipping to the next blank page, she grabs the pencil and begins to sketch.
“Even if you didn’t get to go with your sons, I am happy that you did with your wife. Did she like rays, too?”
Hi!!!~ It’s Mahiru! I hope that you’re having a lovely morning or evening!
Nothing of note really happened today! But I have been loving the little birdie on the app I was talking about yesterday! It’s a baby orange one, and it’s fun to interact with!
I need to get some rest now. Mahiru is going to be busy busy tomorrow!!!
I’m so sleepy! Mahiru should stop the habit of writing these just before she falls asleep… I have lots to say, but my energy is all gone!
Tomorrow, I will do better. Mahiru got a cute self-care app for fun, and now I have a cute digital birdie! I hope that it can help me be less forgetful since it has been a bit of a problem lately!
I’m so sorry I didn’t write an entry last night! Mahiru was so tired!!! I couldn’t even keep my eyes open to look at my screen!
I have fun news! My boyfriend and I are going to be moving again, but it’s to a much more exciting place this time! Mahiru can’t hand out any details, but I might post pictures if I think they look nice enough! Fufu, I think I have a little too much fun sharing them…
Hello, it’s Mahiru! I hope that you are all having a lovely day!
Yay!!! We got some yummy food today! I’m so happy! My boyfriend even let me have the one and only cake we got! It was a very fun date, and I can’t wait to go on more!
Mahiru’s eyes feel really heavy… I feel like I’m going to fall asleep any second now! I will see everyone tomorrow!
Mahiru, satisfied with her drawing, finally lifts the notebook to reveal her work to Shidou.
“Ta-da! I drew you and Kazui-san! Aren’t you two so cute?~”

Today felt so nice!!! I hope that you are all having a nice day, too!~
The park wasn’t too hot today, and Mahiru was so grateful! I sat at a bench and just wrote, and wrote, and wrote… there’s something much different about it, when you’re in tune with the world around you! I’m not sure if I got a lot done, but I still felt really happy.~
Tomorrow, my boyfriend and I are going on a date, too! I’m really looking forward to it!!!
Yay!!! A brand new month! It’s going to get much hotter, but I am still so happy! It just means that more beach trips are in order.~
I don’t think there’s very much to report today! My boyfriend and I did stay up later though, and it was so fun to just sit and talk about… nothing, really! At least, I think so… I haven’t gone to sleep yet, so my memory might be a bit fuzzy! I really need to get some rest, though. I’m paying the park another visit tomorrow!
Good morning!~ I hope that you’re having a lovely day!
Mahiru has been writing lots today! So much that I have a bit of a headache! Maybe I have been pushing myself a little too much… but it’s just so, so, so fun!!!
Thank you to everyone who sent Mahiru a drawing request!~ I had so much fun doodling today!!! I am so happy that I got the chance to celebrate with you! Maybe I will do an event like it again in the future! The only thing stopping Mahiru is the amount of sticky notes.~
I hope that everyone has a good day and night!!! Mahiru will see you all tomorrow!
mahiru! congrats on your one year anniversary here (once the day comes lol) !! for drawing requests, what about your favorite fictional character? :3 🩷🩷
Thank you so much!~ (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) Mahiru appreciates it a lot!!!
Mahiru drew Mitsuha Miyamizu from Your Name!~ I wanted to draw Taki as well since I also love him lots, but I couldn’t get it right! I might have also messed up on this one… I put an extra sticky note to cover up my mistake, and I used the bottom lines to practice her ponytail… (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Thank you so much for your art request, Mahiru was SO excited to receive this one! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
I really, really, really like my boyfriend, so I drew him!~ Hehe, this is the first time I have ever shown his face, I think! Even if it is just a drawing! He looks so much cuter in real life, but I hope that I did a good job.~
YAY!!! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و Happy one-year anniversary to Mahiru’s blog!!! 365 days of recording so many of my adventures and romantic endeavors! I can’t believe we have reached this milestone together!
