Hinata started learning to paint.

It's really strange to say, but Hinata Hajime is indeed trying to learn to draw, even though he has no talent for it.

The director of the art museum welcomed Hinata Sou to study very much. He looked pleased even when he saw the messy painting that Hinata Sou had drawn. Hinata Sou didn't even understand what he was pleased about. How could that painting, which only had most of the color blocks that were not even as good as that of an elementary school student, be worthy of praise?

However, the museum director said that this is the case for all beginners in painting, and it can be seen that Hinata Hajime has his own ideas.

"Mr. Policeman is very logical when he draws, which is a very good thing."

Hinata Hajime looked left and right, but couldn't see any logic in it.

Conan Edogawa would occasionally follow him around, and use this to argue with Hinata Hajime that he has never had bad luck, otherwise how come nothing had happened in so many visits to the art museum. Hinata Hajime said: Yes, yes, you are right.

However, Hinata's creations were indeed not good-looking. Even Edogawa Conan could see that they were not good. They were completely at the beginner's level, and were completely different from the painting he hung at home.

Conan Edogawa still remembers that he once asked about the painting that appeared in his house, and Hinata Hajime said that he had drawn it.

Now it looks like he drew it.

"So, Hinata brother, you really do act strange sometimes." Conan Edogawa said as he sat with him.

"Really?" Hinata Hajime blinked, "What's so strange about that?"

Conan Edogawa thought for a moment, "It feels like sometimes you know everything, and everything comes easily to you, and you have a companion who is good at gathering information, so there is nothing you don't know. Sometimes you know nothing, and your family's painting skills are very high, but now your painting is not as good as that of an elementary school student."

Hinata Hajime: ...

"I'm really sorry that my drawing is not as good as that of an elementary school student."

"That's not the point! Hinata brother." Edogawa Conan held his chin with one hand, "It's like two people."

"That's probably because I'm a moody person." Hinata Hajime answered casually.

Conan Edogawa twitched his lips, "Can the unpredictable mood make everything you know no longer work?"

"Why not?" Hinata Hajime answered casually, "Besides this, Conan, do you know how to get a otaku who is not interested in the outside world to go out for a walk? In other words, staying at home all the time will cause psychological problems, right?"

Conan Edogawa: ...?

"Dead otaku?"

"Not really, I just don't like to go out." Hinata Hajime sighed, "I've been worrying about this recently. After all, I'm always the one on the scene, and it was the same before. He didn't pay much attention to the outside world. I think this is not a good thing, and I can't find a way to get him to come out. It's so troublesome."

Conan Edogawa suddenly remembered that he once thought Hinata Hajime might have a mental illness similar to dual personality, so he suddenly realized it and then twitched his mouth.

This policeman is really weird.

A normal person has dual personalities, and there is a high probability that the main personality and the secondary personality will fight for the initiative. As a result, he is thinking about whether he will become a otaku if the secondary personality doesn't like to come out.

Not a normal person.

Conan Edogawa made a judgment.

However, perhaps only Hyuga Chuanghui would do this. After all, he rarely saw such a policeman, who was full of affinity and a sense of security, rarely refused others, and could really do what he agreed to do.

It's just that Conan Edogawa is a little worried.

Although it is not absolute, most of the multiple personalities are born with a tragic past. Only after a transformation can a new personality be born to take over the responsibility. So, what terrible things must Hinata Hajime have encountered to give birth to such a cold and versatile personality under such a gentle character.

"Does he have a name?" asked Conan Edogawa.

"Yes." Hinata Hajime said, "Kamizura Izuryu."

"…It's hard to pronounce." Edogawa Conan frowned, "Why did you choose such a name?"

Hinata Hajime was silent for a moment. "Maybe it's because everyone has high hopes for him, so they also gave him a name that carries high hopes. If you don't understand, Conan, you can think about how it feels to have a great man's name attached to you."

"But, I don't think I've ever heard of Kamuzuru Izuru." Edogawa Conan thought, "I haven't seen it in a book either."

"Of course I can't find him." Hinata Hajime said with a smile, "Because he is a celebrity in a very small circle, it's normal that you haven't heard of him. Besides, I said great man is just a metaphor."

However, Conan Edogawa noticed something from Hinata Hajime's words.

Why do people have high hopes for Hinata Hajime's secondary personality? And even give him a name?

Don't understand.

Could it be that Hinata Hajime was born in a very harsh place, and this harshness forced Hinata Hajime, who was not outstanding to begin with, to find it difficult to maintain such a gentle personality, and ultimately forced him to develop a personality that was outstanding in talent but cold in character, and then, those people were ecstatic about such a personality?

Are you crazy?

Of course, Edogawa Conan didn't really want to delve into Hinata Hajime's past, nor would he ask in detail.

He just felt that even in this situation, it was not easy for Hinata Hajime to become a policeman and even maintain such a friendly personality now.

The Young Detectives came to look for Conan Edogawa. In order not to disturb Hinata Hajime who was drawing, Conan Edogawa left with the children, apparently saying that they were going to a masked rider meeting. Hinata Hajime waved to them and continued to draw his own picture.

Even Kamizuru Izuru could see that Hinata Hajime was indeed drawing with a plan.

The museum director was right. Even though Hinata Hajime was a beginner, he was learning very logically.

【You are not suitable for painting. 】

[Really? That's a hurtful comment.] Hinata Hajime joked, but his hands didn't stop moving. Instead, he continued to paint large blocks of color. [Well, although it's not very pretty, I think I will be able to paint better one day.]

Kamukura Izuru held his chin with one hand, he looked at the painting, and after a moment he spoke, "What do you want to draw?"

[I don’t know. Whatever I can draw is fine. I don’t have any talent for drawing.]

【My mere talent for painting. 】

[But, if that's the case, then Izuku is drawing and I'm watching.] Hinata Hajime murmured, [Akagi Eito relied on his secondary personality, but he didn't give it the respect it deserved, causing the secondary personality to constantly try to fight for living space, and finally created that tragedy.]

[I think it was the same with Izuru in the beginning. 】

There are several blank years in Hinata Hajime's memory. During those blank years, Kamijou Izuru was in charge. They could not coexist from the beginning.

It was not until Hinata Hajime's personality was restored in the New World Program that they were able to coexist peacefully.

[I am also relying on you.] Hinata Sou whispered softly, [Whether it is talent or feelings.]

Kamukura Izuru listened to what Hinata Hajime said, and after a while he spoke, "Your dependence is not a bad thing for me."

[You are so reliable.] Hinata Hajime said with a smile: [But, that’s it. With your tacit consent, I naturally rely on you. It’s okay for a short time, but if it continues for a long time, I’m afraid I will become a person who will give up and rely on talent when encountering problems.]

[I don't want to become like this. 】

Kamiya Izuru didn't understand, but he just said lightly, "That's also your talent."

[Sometimes I would also like to try to see how far I can go with my own abilities.] Hinata Hajime looked at the painting in front of him. He never stopped and kept adding colors to it. [I chose painting just because it was more convenient.]

[Izuru, do you think I can draw a complete work by myself? 】

Kamukura Izuru looked at the large patch of color on the drawing paper and said, "Okay."

【real?】

I have seen the results.

[Have you activated your analytical skills? ]

[No.] Kamuzuru Izuru sat by the mirror lake and said, [I believe you can do it.]

Hinata Hajime's hand paused. He did not continue speaking, but just smiled and continued drawing on the drawing paper.

The paint fell on his sleeves and his hands were stained with paint, but he didn't care. He just quietly painted according to his own ideas. Kamiya Izuru accompanied him calmly. He didn't intervene, but just watched everything silently.

After Hinata finished painting, the museum director stood behind him.

To be honest, the museum director had a very good impression of Hinata Hajime, not only because he was a policeman, but also because of his personality.

Hinata Hajime is a person who will never give up in any environment. No matter how difficult the situation is, he will always maintain his gentleness. He is a rare person. Of course, he may not have talent or be suitable for painting, but the existence of such a person in this world is a gift from this world.

Among the countless people of all kinds, only those who are as gentle as water can soften the thorns of those around them.

Looking at the still not-so-good-looking painting, the old man smiled and said, "Mr. Policeman, are you thinking about someone?"

Hinata Sou turned to look at the old man, and after a moment he spoke, "Maybe."

"Why do you suddenly want to paint again, Mr. Policeman? You have always refused before."

"Maybe I want to try something I'm not good at, to see how far I can go." Hinata Hajime said, and then he smiled awkwardly, "Well, Director, do you think it would be a bit too ugly if I gave this painting as a gift?"

"Of course not." The old man smiled happily, "This is the best gift."

“That’s great.”

Hinata Hajime looked at the painting in front of him. Under the large color, he could see the shape of a flower. Various colors that didn't match well were mixed together, but no one would care about these colors. Instead, they would look at the not-so-good-looking flower.

"It's a really nice painting," said the curator.

yes.

Hinata's idea: Even if all colors are mixed together, they will become black.

However, Kamizuru, you are still the most beautiful scenery in my heart, the colorful flower.

Kamukura Izuru sat there, looking at the painting quietly. After a moment, he put his hand on his chest. A faint warm feeling spread from his heart, as if an electric current spread from there to his fingertips, bringing numbness.

That is their common heart.
