A middle school cartoonist

After the conclusion of "Slippery Ghost", a manga artist named Phoenix Institute Jishin started a new manga, "Natsume's Book of Friends", which also talks about monsters and humans!

Among the new comics, the one that surprised comic fans the most is naturally the chubby cat teacher! Not to mention that the cat has always been a bit exaggeratedly fat, but those distinctive eyes make the image of Teacher Cat deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Like several cartoonists on the cartoonist side, when Mr. Cat appeared on the stage, many readers had their heads covered with black lines and put their hands on their foreheads... Because the look of Mr. Cat was not that of a certain cartoonist at the concert. A fashionable dress to lead the Night Parade of Hundred Demons?

Many people also had a sudden realization when they saw this comic. It turned out that the cartoonist Phoenix Inferno Jiuzhen had already silently prepared for his next comic in this way as early as that night. A GG!

However... the new manga "Natsume" only goes so far!

Because of the simple daily plot, readers who are used to monster comics are a little disappointed! After all, in this kind of comic, there are no bloody battle scenes, no pursuit of the highest ideal, and no enemies that have to be killed... In the first chapter of the comic, there is only the tragic childhood of the male protagonist Natsume, and another The cute cat teacher appears, and even the theme of the comic itself and the setting of the friends account are explained clearly in just a few words...

Although comics of this style have not appeared in "Shounen Jumk" for a long time, readers were still looking forward to it at the beginning. After all, human beings are always curious about novel things. However, as time goes by, Once curiosity is exhausted, readers will lose interest in comics...

So when Yoshida looked at the score sheet of "Natsume", he had an embarrassed expression on his face!

Although Takahashi Makoto has said it many times before, this comic is the final chapter of the Yokai Era, the highlight of the Yokai Era, and the Yokai Era... But looking at the current results, Yoshida suddenly began to doubt whether he had been After being exposed to Takahashi Makoto's secret hypnosis technique, he actually believed in Takahashi Makoto so easily. He believed in that crazy cartoonist with numerous criminal records, Phoenix Academy Murderous Man...

"Although you promised repeatedly before, the result is like this..." Yoshida, with a gloomy face, sat opposite Takahashi Makoto, complaining to Takahashi Makoto with some hatred, "A Cheng. , I told you before that comics with a style like "Natsume" are actually not suitable for serialization in "Shounen Jumk"..."

"Well, I know!" Makoto Takahashi looked completely indifferent, which made Yoshida a little stunned and didn't react for a moment!

"You know...Eh? You knew there would be such a result, so why did you choose..." Looking at Makoto Takahashi still drawing comics, Yoshida was a little surprised, "Hey, Cheng, although I know you don't care about these results. ,but……"

"My beloved cat, you are so superficial! Now you are just laying out the plan for the end...can't you see this kind of thing?" Makoto Takahashi stopped painting helplessly and turned to look at Yoshida in confusion, "Even the King of Black Flame has noticed it, but you, as the editor, didn't notice it?"

"Don't compare ordinary people like us to monsters like you!" Yoshida roared dissatisfied, grabbed the comic manuscript on the table, and kept banging the seat, "Let's not mention Eiji Niizuma's ability to predict comics, Cheng. That monster-like physical strength and abnormal human thoughts... Ah, is this kind of weird personality the so-called genius?"

"I am a crazy cartoonist, Phoenix Academy Fierce! I want to convey my thoughts, I want to convey my will, I want to develop a congregation of believers, I want to become a god in the new world, and I want to carry out massive brainwashing through comics Of course, work is a natural choice, because Steins;Gate has already decided everything!" Makoto Takahashi closed his eyes, the expression on his face became quite pious, but his tone of voice was a little weird, "However, this does not mean that Now, I will forget the harm caused to the witch by those ignorant humans before! So now..."

"Ah, I don't care about those things! Now I am discussing the content of comics with you as an editor!" Yoshida was going crazy. Faced with Takahashi Makoto's petty revenge, he expressed that he could not understand it at all, "... ...Even if you have resentment in your heart, you shouldn't use this method to retaliate, right? If you choose this method, you will kill the enemy by one thousand and harm yourself by eight hundred..."

"My beloved cat, rest assured! This is just the beginning..." Makoto Takahashi opened his right eye, with a smile that made Yoshida shudder. "When the plan is fully launched, I can guarantee that all humans in the world will , everyone will be immersed in sadness! The online media is full of hatred and curses against the Phoenix Academy... Ah, the supreme joy, just thinking about it makes me look forward to it!"

"...Speaking of which, Acheng, I've heard you say this many times. What exactly do you think?"

Ignoring Takahashi Makoto's words, Yoshida was really curious. Ever since Takahashi Makoto and Rina's relationship was announced, Takahashi Makoto has emphasized many times that he will retaliate against all mankind, but looking at Takahashi Makoto With everything I do now, let alone revenge, it’s already good to be able to stabilize my position as a popular cartoonist!

For example, after the new series "Natsume" was launched, the comics received a mediocre response. Judging from the feedback from readers, it is indeed not as good as the previous comics by Makoto Takahashi. Many people have even begun to worry and ridicule Makoto Takahashi for running out of ideas...

"My beloved cat, with your wisdom, it is difficult to explain it to you!" Makoto Takahashi entered the mocking mode and looked at Yoshida with disdain, "So what you have to do next is to wait patiently and witness the end of the monster era... That's all!"

"Hey, your thoughts are not something that mortals like me can understand. I agree with this..." Only the Chuunibyou can understand Chuunibyou. Yoshida said that he is no longer a Chuunibyou. "But Makoto, I want to remind you that if the comics don't perform well, they will be cut off! Although I don't know what your plans are, once the comics are cut off, Those plans you made before will not be realized in the future!"

"Humph! Of course I know that!" Takahashi Makoto took out the comic manuscript from the drawer and handed it to Yoshida, "This is the task item you need this time... Tsk! Don't dawdle like this, accept it quickly! I have to save the progress, otherwise it will be a tragedy if the power goes out or crashes later!"

"Makoto... Eh? Mr. Yoshida is here too?" Rina, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen, tilted her head and looked at the two people who were talking, with a friendly smile on her face, "It just so happens that Rina just finished dinner, and Mr. Yoshida also..."

"Ahem, I have to go back to work overtime..." Yoshida's soul and body have a very deep memory of Rina's cooking skills, so when faced with the side quest [Rina's Cooking Experience], he immediately chose to cancel it, and at the same time gave Takahashi Makoto a sympathetic look!

"My cat, don't be so afraid! Under the guidance of my Hohenauin Kyouma, Rina's cooking level during this period... is already able to take the exam for a top-grade chef!" Grabbing Yoshida who was trying to escape, Takahashi Makoto showed an extremely expectant smile on his face, "This is a rare opportunity, my Hohenauin Kyouma will make an exception once, let you experience for yourself the progress of a disciple trained by a top-grade chef during this period!"

"But..." Yoshida wanted to refuse, very, very eager to refuse! However, he was completely suppressed by Takahashi Makoto in terms of force, and the hidden side quest was forcibly opened...

"Of course, as an equivalent exchange, my cat, as long as you stay, I will tell you some information about the monster era!" Takahashi Makoto smiled with narrowed eyes, and after he finished speaking, he saw the tangled expression on Yoshida's face, and continued to add, "Well, my cat, choose! Do you choose to maintain your professional ethics as an editor and stay, or choose to give up the dignity of your profession and leave in a mess with broken arms and legs?"

Stay or leave, this is a question... I don't know!

"Is there any other choice..." Seeing the dangerous light flashing in Takahashi Makoto's eyes, Yoshida compromised without any moral integrity! After all, although he felt that Takahashi Makoto was just scaring people about missing arms and legs, Yoshida didn't dare to gamble, because Takahashi Makoto's values ​​were different from those of normal humans!

"A wise choice!" Seeing Yoshida's lingering fear, Takahashi Makoto put on a kind smile, "My beloved cat, you can completely understand this trial as the price of wanting to know the truth! After all, equivalent exchange... is the truth chosen by Steins;Gate!"
