A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 17 Inviting new participants

Summer vacations only appear after exams, giving students who are on the verge of death a chance to breathe. Some careless students seem to have forgotten the existence of the mastermind behind summer vacation homework. They cheer and start enjoying life, and then wait until school starts. That day, I escaped by staring at the dark circles under my eyes!

Of course, for the three people who were fully preparing for the competition, they didn’t think about summer homework at all. They were all immersed in how to create comics! Lan Dai and Mr. Huangmao Glasses, Lan Dai is responsible for painting, and Mr. Huangmao Glasses is responsible for constructing the story. They are very happy to work together with each other. However, Makoto Takahashi is struggling with what to draw next. After all, there are those classics in his mind. There are too many things to do!

By the way, compared to his previous life, Dongzhou’s summer homework was... a total scumbag with a combat power of only 5!

"At times like this, we still need professionals like the rescue team to solve the problem..." Makoto Takahashi hesitated and struggled for a long time, but still didn't have a good idea. In desperation, he had to call the editor-in-chief of Yoshida, "My Family Oh, your master needs you and calls you at this moment, come quickly!"

"..." Yoshida didn't say a word and hung up the phone directly.

Thirty minutes later, Yoshida knocked on Takahashi Makoto's door and entered the room with a calm expression.

"My beloved, let's discuss now, what should we draw in the next comic?" Makoto Takahashi took out a large pile of manuscript paper with a tangled look on his face, "These comics are all what I have been thinking about these days. Yes, but I haven’t decided what to draw yet, my followers, can you see which one is suitable?”

"Takahashi Makoto, or rather Mr. Kouma from the Phoenix Academy!" Yoshida's face gradually turned gloomy, and he looked at Makoto Takahashi with almost gritted teeth, "Do you still have the professional ethics as a manga artist?"

"Huh? What are the professional ethics of a cartoonist?" Makoto Takahashi looked confused, "My beloved, have you been transformed by an alien animal abuser? Don't worry, no matter what, you are still the devil's pet cat. It’s enough to just scream ‘meow~meow~’ around the devil, and it won’t turn into a strange creature even if it’s being abused!”

"I'm asking you, why don't you discuss such a big matter as the completion of a comic series with me as the editor in charge?" Yoshida did not deny the fact that he was a cat, but roared and asked Makoto Takahashi, "You know what the editor in charge is? What are the responsibilities?”

"Be cute and cute, block guns, pull monsters, conquer the world, and be a good cat with integrity and ideals!" Makoto Takahashi answered with a serious face.

"Aside from being cute and cute, have you ever seen a cat with such high energy?" Yoshida was about to go crazy. "Now is not the time to discuss this! Makoto Takahashi, maybe I haven't explained it to you before, but I will explain it to you now." Let me say it once! If a comic, especially one that is being serialized, is going to be completed, you must tell the editor in advance. "Shounen Jumk" is a weekly magazine. If a comic ends suddenly, it will be very abrupt and will It makes many readers dissatisfied and affects the magazine’s sales!”

"My beloved, are you not paying attention?" Makoto Takahashi gave Yoshida a look of contempt and turned his head away, "I wrote a message at the end of the last chapter!"

"So we have to be in advance!" Yoshida slapped the table and activated the skill [Roar of the Head of State]! "Do you know what advance means? It means that when you decide to finish this comic, you should tell the editor in charge first so that we can make arrangements easily!"

"Oh, dirty lord!" Makoto Takahashi looked unhappy, "Do you think that you can be proud of being a dependent? He is obviously a pet cat! It has been decided that in order to let you remember your identity, from today on From now on, you will become my beloved cat!”

"I never admit cats and relatives! And what is this lame name?" Yoshida roared again, "Are you ready for the new comic? Bring it over and let me take a look..."

"My beloved cat, this is fate, a betrayal that cannot be escaped!" Makoto Takahashi stood on the table, looking down at Yoshida, "Ruling the world with the devil, this is your supreme honor!"

"Stay there, don't disturb me reading comics..." Yoshida waved his hand impatiently, driving Takahashi Makoto away. Suddenly Yoshida remembered something, opened the backpack he was carrying, took out a thick pile of envelopes, and handed it to Takahashi Makoto.

"What is this? An admission notice from the Magic Academy? How come there are so many?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida's backpack with some confusion, "My Cat, My Cat, does your backpack come with storage space?" ? Why can such a small bag hold so many letters?

"These are letters sent to you by readers. They were just sent to the editorial office. I just brought some of them to you..." Yoshida suddenly stopped, staring at Makoto Takahashi angrily, and waved his hand. manuscript paper, "What's going on? Why is it exactly the same as last time?"

"That's right, those are the ones from last time. After I finished drawing "Destiny Note" recently, I told this person who has been brushing equipment! Because I haven't decided yet, I was busy playing games and didn't draw!" So and so For no moral reasons, Makoto Takahashi was shamefully outspoken!

"You didn't draw because you were busy playing games?" Yoshida suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, "You really have no sense of responsibility as a professional cartoonist!"

"What is the sense of responsibility of a cartoonist? My beloved cat, don't you understand?" Makoto Takahashi said as if he was a god. "After God created humans, he naturally went to play games. Who cares about what humans do?" Development! The development of mankind ultimately depends on itself. If we only rely on miracles caused by God, then mankind will perish!"

Yoshida burst into tears, talking to a middle school student like Takahashi Makoto about the sense of responsibility as a cartoonist. It was really a mistake of his life!

"Which one do you think is better?" Makoto Takahashi was a little angry, "My Cat, please don't escape reality! Isn't it your editor's job to solve the problem quickly? Where is the editor's sense of responsibility?"

"This brat..." Yoshida suppressed his anger and quickly changed the topic, remembering the comic he had seen before, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me... "Chuunibyou Still Wants to Fall in Love" is pretty good, but you were I just drew the content of the first episode, and as an editor, in my opinion, it is more suitable for novels than comics!”

"My beloved is a cat. I am very satisfied with your answer..." Makoto Takahashi also knew very well that in his previous life, "Chununibyou Wants to Fall in Love" first appeared in the form of a light novel, and was later completed. animated. The original draft was adapted by Makoto Takahashi based on the animation in his memory.

"But regarding the comic book "Lelouch of the Rebellion"..." After a moment of silence, Yoshida's eyes flashed with light, "This comic is quite good, but if it wants to be serialized, I personally have a condition!"

"Personal conditions? My beloved cat, have you reached the stage of rebellion?" Makoto Takahashi was a little confused, "Even when the world is destroyed, the devil will never compromise!"

"Then let me tell you something first!" Completely ignoring Takahashi Seijouji's speech, Yoshida sorted out his thoughts, "The editor asked me to tell you that in the latest issue of "Shounen Jumk" weekly, There will be two genius-level cartoonists. They are called geniuses because they seem to be about the same age as you. One of the boys is a freshman in high school, and the other girl, like you, is also in the third year of junior high school. grade students.”

"So..." After hearing the news, Takahashi Cheng's eyes lit up. Just looking at the smile in Yoshida's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill, pretending to be indifferent, "What does this matter have to do with me?" What? My beloved cat, lying to the devil is a capital crime!"

"So, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department has decided to provide you three genius-level cartoonists with a stage, a stage for a showdown!" Yoshida's eyes were very good, although Takahashi Makoto looked completely indifferent on his face, but Even Yoshida could feel the fighting spirit in his eyes, "Of course, I still think highly of you! After all, your debut work "Destiny Note" was drawn when you were thirteen!"

"Hahahaha..." Makoto Takahashi suddenly laughed wildly, his eyes shining with excitement, "Of course I have to participate in this kind of feast! I thought this Holy Grail War was a bit boring before, but I didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen. Woolen cloth!"

"By the way, if you agree, your name and age will be made public!" The evil-minded Yoshida whispered, and I don't know if Takahashi Makoto heard it.

The planner of this event is actually the editor-in-chief of the editorial department! This old man wearing glasses usually has a silent and serious look, but his working ability is very good! The boy who was in the first grade of high school mentioned before, because his home is far away from Gucao, his parents did not agree and did not feel comfortable letting him come to Gucao alone. It was only this excellent editor who took action!

"None of this matters!" Makoto Takahashi looked happy, staring at Yoshida, "The most important thing now is for me to go take a look at these two talented cartoonists, and if possible, invite them to join this war. !”

"War?" Yoshida was a little confused. How could drawing comics involve war?

"Yes, it's a war!" Makoto Takahashi put away his smile, walked to the window, turned his back to Yoshida, and looked piously at the blue sky in the distance, "If you want to participate in this war, you must first see them The enlightenment they carry! Regardless of whether they are kings or overlords, if they do not carry the enlightenment and participate in the war for unknown reasons, they have no qualifications to participate in this 'King's Feast'!"

"The king's feast?" Upon hearing this, Yoshida's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt like his blood was boiling!

"Well, the king's feast!" Makoto Takahashi turned around and looked at Yoshida, with a burning light in his eyes. "The king wants to unify the world. If there are no enemies or competitors, then it will not be difficult at all to unify the world. It can be said that only by defeating one king after another and marching on the blood and bones can we truly reach the top of the world!"

"This...what exactly do you want to do?" Yoshida was so shocked that he didn't know what to ask.

"With the brush in his hand, the king entrusts his dreams and consciousness to comics, and competes in the world on the weekly magazine called "Shounen Jumk"..." Makoto Takahashi laughed wildly, "Hahaha, what are you doing? Of course, inviting new people participants, start a war, and then create a new world!”
