Hiromi goes to look for Oka at his apartment, because moments before at Dope Sketch...

Oka: Reki, Langa, I'll leave you here to close whenever you want 😉 I have a date. Reki: With a new woman? Oka: Don't be so nosy, Reki. Langa: If you don't mind, we'll close before 8pm. Reki and I are going to see a movie.

Oka: And have you already chosen one? Langa: No. Oka: Then let me recommend one for you two. 😁 «Reki, that's what you get for being nosy» - thinking.

If you want to know what type of movie Oka recommend to Reki and Langa, you can go here and read Renga's Valentine Day

Hiromi rang the doorbell... But it didn't seem to work... Then he knocked on the door and out came Oka dressed for the occasion. 

Hiromi: Good afternoon, Oka. Here, for you.

Oka: Hey, who is this Hiromi? Thank you, it's very beautiful, I'm going to put it in my bedroom. What's the plan for tonight?

Hiromi: I could tell you that I'm trying to be a little more myself in my day to day life, but for the moment just with you... We will go to two places.

Oka: I think I'm going to have to change my clothes, this one doesn't fit very well with yours, and I think that surely being you we won't go to one of those typical and boring places.

Hiromi: Well, the places we will go... You can go like that if that's the way you are...

Oka: Oh, no. Not at all... I just dressed like this because you said it would be a date... I didn't want to look like, you know... Like I don't care...

Hiromi: Then dress as you feel best, if there's no time left, I'll already go 100 km/h to get to the place on time. BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Oka: What have you done with the Hiromi I met a long time ago, so shy?

Hiromi: Huh? Don't you like it?

Oka: Of course I like it, I love all of you, however you are. I'm just glad to be able to see all your facets little by little.

Oka went to get dressed and came back.

Hiromi: Wow, you look great in this style!

Oka: Well, maybe I pulled a little from my old closet. I mean, not from my old closet per se, it's not the same clothes I wore when was younger, but it's similar... I bought it but I never dared to wear it...

Hiromi: Not even with Reki and Langa?

Oka: Oh, with them less, I'm just a boring adult who does his job day by day because it's not able to give more of himself. 

Hiromi: That's not true, you work in something you're passionate about!

Oka: Yes and no. But, hey! This is a date, right? It's not the time to talk about it now.

Hiromi: Sure... Come on, follow me. «Hiromi, don't go on. It's clearly something that has made him uncomfortable.... But, you can tell that he loves skateboarding.... Why did he say "Yes and no."?» - thinking - But... do you care much about... pink cars...?

Oka: Pink cars? What kind of question is that?

Hiromi: Do you remember the car I picked you up with on Langa's birthday?

Oka: Yes.

Hiromi: Well, it's the only car I have... it's not really mine... it belongs to the flower shop where I work... the manager left it for me today too...

Oka: No, I don't have any problem. In fact it will be very funny to see two guys in dark clothes get out of a pink car. Seriously, I don't have a problem. If I didn't have it last time, why do you think I would have it now?

Hiromi: Because last time we went to "S", and in "S" there is no prejudice of any kind in this topics.

Oka: Well, then let's take this as a challenge to overcome today both.

Hiromi: Okay... Then we can go now...

Hiromi and Oka got into the Churippu Flower Shop car and drove to the first place the former prepared for today.

~🌷🔧~

Hiromi: Here we are, the Cafeteria Cœur tendre.

Oka: You took a liking to Cafeterias, after our first time going out together and I'll take you to one?

Hiromi: Well... It was the first place you took me to and it was on the same Saturday of my birthday week, so I wanted you to somehow remember it...

Oka: Oh, commemoration of our first outing?

Hiromi: Yes... Go ahead.

Oka: Excuse me.

Oka and Hiromi entered the cafeteria. 

Hiromi: Two heart candy and two chocolate candy. One coffee for me and... Oka, what would you like to drink?

Oka: The same as you.

They sat at the table and when they got the sweets and coffee they started to eat.

Oka: Mmmh... These sweets are very good, neither too sweet nor too bitter. Besides, eating it together with you adds value to it.

Hiromi: You're right, I feel the same way.... By the way, about what you said before...

Oka: About what?

Hiromi: About "Yes and no" with your work. I can tell you love skateboarding a lot, even sometimes I think I can see how some of your excitement is now held by brat Reki. Why then?

Oka: You won't take no for an answer, will you?

Hiromi: Unfortunately for you, no. It's not because I want to be a pain or because I want to bother you about it. I just want to know why someone who works doing something he loves, can't answer that he love it 100%.

Oka: Yeah...

Hiromi: If you tell me that I overwhelm you, then I won't ask anymore. But I'm also passionate about skateboarding, it gives me the courage I don't have when I'm myself in my day to day life.... You know?

Oka: I... I want to.

Hiromi: Huh?

Oka: Practice it more than anyone else, but I've never been good at it....

Hiromi: Is it really just for that?

Oka: What do you mean with just for that?

Hiromi: Do you think I'm better than Joe, Cherry blossom, ADAM or Langa, even Miya? Now I understand why Reki had that depression, if you were the one who gave him advice...

Oka: Hey! We're on a date, not for you to judge me.

Hiromi: We're on a date and I'm judging you because I care about you, Oka. Just because I look like this and people sometimes are scared of me, doesn't mean I can't be able to think deeper than anyone else about the things I mattered.

Oka: Well about Reki maybe you're right, at first I wasn't able to give him good advice. But I'm someone who likes to be practical and realistic. And to the other thing you said, I don't like it when people think that about your looks, that has nothing to do with your inner self.

Hiromi: Do you skateboard for fun? I do skateboard for fun. Agh, that dumb brat Reki has really beaten me up on that.

Oka: I haven't skateboarded in a while... And yeah, Reki's made me rethink it.... By the way, speaking of Reki, he must be having a blast. 🤣

Hiromi: Huh? Why? 

Oka: "桜の木に吹く風" (The wind among Cherry blossoms)....

Hiromi: Isn't that one a scary movie?

Oka: Yeah, it's the one we went to see a few days ago 😉 I loved how much you clung to me.

Hiromi: We can forget that... You're almost like me, an Antihero! 💖 Although to reach my level you still have a long way to go, I'm an expert!

Oka: Well, when it comes to Reki, it's very easy 😁 Atchoo! ⁽*¹⁾ I think that someone is cursing me...

Hiromi: Maybe it's Reki, hehe. I think it's almost time, shall we go to the next and last place?

Oka: Last? Today's, right? Don't tell me that I being so naughty with Reki that....

Hiromi: Huh? No!

Oka: I was teasing with you 😁

Hiromi: How do you do it?

After the cafeteria, Hiromi took Oka to the next place with the car, one of the places Hiromi considered the most beautiful in the whole city and to which two years ago he took ADAM and Kikuchi-san because of the advent calendar they made for ADAM.

(You can see a Simstagram [Instagram] post made by Hiromi time ago here and a post made by ADAM here, we upload Advent calendar complete on Twitter two years ago, but we haven't posted it on our Blogger yet neither here, so it would be harder to see it.)

Oka: What about this place?

Hiromi: It's a very special place for me. But that's still not the best part. Come in.

Oka: Excuse me.

Hiromi: To see what I want to show you, we'll have to wait a little bit, but I promise the wait it will be worth. 

Oka: All the flowers I see around are very beautiful.

Hiromi: A few years ago, my manager brought me here. Sharing every moment with her was very special to me. But I was never able to see what I'll see with you tonight, because she stayed until the afternoon and I sometimes stayed until the evening.

Oka: Do you get some of the flowers from here?

Hiromi: Yes. I come to take care of them for a while on Sundays, because I rarely work that day. And I usually pick and choose the ones I see that can already go to the store. Of course, only the ones that the owner lets us take.

Oka: Wow, is it this? It's really beautiful.

Hiromi: This place is the only where you can see them all year round. I always wanted to bring my special person here with me, you know?

Oka: Heh... I see... I feel very flattered...

Hiromi: May I?

Oka: Yes, sure.

Hiromi's mobile rang, he grabbed it and started to read the notification received. 

Hiromi: Oka, have you seen Saturday's event in "S"?

Oka: No. Wait, let me read it.

Hiromi: Here.

Oka read it, while Hiromi looked at it (Read here if you want to know more about what Oka is reading).

Hiromi: I know you're not going to participate, but as soon as some Goofys register, pick me who you want me to go against and I'll do my best to beat them for you.

Oka: This is a bit confusing, I mean, you want to give chocolate to a Goofy of my choice, but not me?

Hiromi: Huh? No, I want to defeat them and beat them!

Oka: I know, but in the text it says: Regulars who want to compete with other Regulars to give dark chocolate to their favorite Goofy, woo them when they registers on this site! But be careful because if you don't beat the other Regulars you won't be able to show them your love.

Hiromi: Well, that's a way of saying, it's a beef of many Regulars against only one Goofy... And if the only thing you feel for the other person is the same passion for skateboarding as you do, then that chocolate is symbolic.

Oka: Hiromi, I was teasing you again, hahaha.

Hiromi: Then if I win, you'll have to give me a kiss on the lips. And I'm not teasing you. A winner's kiss, and at least once I want you to skateboard in front of me.

Oka: O... Okay, it's a deal. A kiss for the winner... I... I'll skateboard in front of someone again...

Maybe you want to read too:

Currently I seem to be out of art block and I'm starting again to draw to a different style besides chibi, so recently I wanted to try the color wheel challenge. And nowadays I'm going to try to do those illustrations that I was never able to do.

It's been about 5/6 years since I started to have an art block and with the last thing that happened with the appearance of NF/T and later of the A/I "art" didn't help me much to get out of it, but recently I have seen more and more similar situations and how the A/I "art" only seems to be interested in a kind of cold and passionless style and I have come to rethink again what art really is for me. Some time ago I was obfuscating myself because I was not getting the results I wanted and I would get frustrated and stop drawing after a few minutes, after that thought I remembered that art is a human and personal expression and that it doesn't matter how good or bad it looks in my eyes (well it does "matter", but the important thing is that starting from the base is how you build a solid learning), since the important thing is the process you go through, the approaches you make every time ideas come to your mind or how your mind tells you to change a stroke, position of a pose or shading/lighting and how in the end your hand ends up capturing them on paper (physical or digital), since SK8 the Infinity came out in 2021 I have been writing down ideas that came to my mind and that I wanted to draw (because until recently my mind was only able to draw very simple and chibi styles without lines like the ones I have uploaded until recently when I made this account) and these that I have written up are some of them, in PoiPiku I publish and published my process of illustrations of color wheel only for followers of Twitter because that way I could control that those who see it are real users and to avoid those of A/I "art" (just in case, although in their eyes it may "not be the best" not looking so realistic for their standards, but who knows) but due to Twitter APIs this option is currently not available and it seems to be the case with almost all applications of this type, so just for the moment I will continue posting them that way until I can find another solution or just post the occasional wip or before and after with big watermark.
