A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 34 Trampled Feelings and Feast

"What's going on?" Takahashi Makoto and Yoshida shouted in unison.

The editorial department decided to hold an event to collect more works and make the 'feast' event bigger. This was originally a good thing. As a special judge, Makoto Takahashi was still a little excited. This was because he saw Yoshida bring After hearing the news, I felt a little depressed.

"My Familiar Cat, are you fooling the King?" Makoto Takahashi looked at the work in his hand with dissatisfaction, "The special judges can only review one comic, and this comic was randomly selected... The King's Where is the dignity?”

"Are you seeking death?" Yoshida seemed to be even more angry than Takahashi Makoto. He held the storyboard in his hand and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I have been an editor for several years, and this is the first time I have seen... The protagonist dies at the end of the comic! Lelouch has clearly won the war, but it ends with death... Such a heartbreaking ending..."

"What, have you been cast on the Forgetting Technique?" Makoto Takahashi heard Yoshida's complaint, took out the previous "Shounen Jumk" and pointed at "Destiny Note", "Yakami Yue didn't die the same way in the end! "

"This is different!" Yoshida threw the manga manuscript on the table. "It can be said that he brought the blame for Yagami Yue's death! Because as the manga unfolds, Yagami Yue no longer kills people to eliminate criminals. In the later stages of the comic, he has become a murderer, a tyrant trying to rule the world, and a human being with no emotions at all!"

"It seems like you don't understand anything, my beloved cat!" Regarding Yoshida's evaluation, Takahashi Makoto just said this lightly, and then continued to struggle with the matter of the special guest judges, "Now you can compete with me. Please explain, why is the job of this special judge just to read the comics and write comments, but not to have the final say? Are you and everyone in the editorial department provoking King of Glory?"

"First tell me clearly about Lelouch's problem, and then I'll explain to you about the special judges!" A trace of worry flashed in Yoshida's eyes, but he concealed it well enough that Makoto Takahashi didn't notice it.

"Lelouch..." Makoto Takahashi muttered the name softly, with some melancholy in his eyes, "You are no longer a prince, but a true king! Because... you have implemented the king's consciousness to the end! "

"Wait, you mean, Lelouch became the real king because of this ending?" Yoshida, as an editor, naturally has his own opinions on comics. The reason why today I have a look at the "Zero Town" at the end of the comic "Soul Song" is very confusing. In addition to being a bit difficult to accept as a reader, there are also some special reasons.

"What exactly is the so-called king?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida who was thinking, and his face became extremely serious, "As a king, you naturally have to bear your own consciousness and turn your own beliefs into the way of a king! As for the people sitting high on the throne, those fools who have been blinded by power, they are just empty shells of kings, but they are actually clowns who can be ridiculed! "

"The so-called king..." Makoto Takahashi spoke passionately with a trace of yearning in his eyes, "Although the king controls the people, he is here for life! Although the king is with the people and becomes the existence that the people yearn for, but But he is alone in the world! Although the king's belief is not stated clearly, it is integrated into the blood and soul of every person under the king's rule! What a true king has to do is to carry the hopes and aspirations of his people and keep moving forward. Even though he may become a lonely person in the end, so what? The king’s thoughts may be guessed, but he will still be alone in the world! Because the only one who can truly understand the king is himself!”

"By the way, aren't we discussing the ending of Lelouch?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi with a strange look on his face, "Why do you feel like we are talking about the 'real king'? And you are just a cartoonist, a He's just an underage brat, no matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the so-called 'king'!"

"My beloved cat, you are indeed not fully evolved, you only have the wisdom of an ape!" The suspected famous saying of Colonel Chu reappears!

"Okay, okay..." Yoshida surrendered and compromised, "I roughly understand what you want to say! As the price of changing the world, Lelouch finally made an unexpected sacrifice, betrayed everyone, and shouldered all the sins. My best friend and the person I love most all leave him... Although I can understand it a little bit, why do I feel so inexplicably sad?"

"That's because you're not enlightened enough, my beloved cat!" Makoto Takahashi's words sounded like a mockery, "Now you feel you can't stand it? Haha, after I draw the story of the silly king, Let you feel real heartache!”

"The story of King Da Mao? Is it a new comic?" Yoshida couldn't accept it, "I don't care about the content of this new comic, but the name is really..."

"Is it time for you to fulfill what you said before?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida, who was trying to change the subject, with a gloomy expression. "What is the reason that causes you dirty adults to break your promise?"

"This...that..." Yoshida was a little embarrassed, with a tangled look between his brows.

When Makoto Takahashi was considering whether to send Yoshida to hell for a period of training, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID read 'Her Royal Highness the Imprisoned Princess'!

"Cheng-kun, did you watch the live broadcast of the previous TV interview?" Rina's tone was a little anxious.

"I saw it, and then even issued a declaration of war to the Great Demon King Ogata!" Takahashi Makoto was a little anxious when he heard Rina's tone, and suddenly felt a very unhappy feeling in his heart. That annoying face immediately appeared on his mind. In front of me, "Did something happen? Did the Great Demon King Ji Ogata do something bad again?"

"The person I talked about in the live broadcast is you, Cheng-kun!" Rina explained hurriedly! However, Rina's tone was a little anxious and she sounded like she was about to cry! "Makoto-kun, do you believe what I say?"

"Of course, I have always believed in what Her Royal Highness the Princess said!" Makoto Takahashi said naturally, "I am the King of Braves, a noble and loyal knight!"

But that tone seemed to be hiding something... Takahashi Makoto was a little suspicious. What on earth happened?

"Makoto-kun, please don't believe those reports!" Rina was still a little uneasy, "I'm going to record a song! I'll explain it to you later tonight!"

Takahashi Cheng was speechless when he heard the phone call was hung up. What is going on? Don't believe what those reports are referring to...

"It's Rina-chan who called me, right?" Yoshida looked as if he had no idea what to expect, "As expected, I still can't hide it from you!"

Makoto Takahashi ignored Yoshida, but turned on the computer to check the recent news, and then the title of a news caught Makoto Takahashi's eye!

"The continuation of the love story, KOOGY who bravely fights for Ogata Rina!"

"KOOGY, who is this person? Why does this name feel inexplicably familiar?" Makoto Takahashi gently rubbed his head and complained while clicking on the web link, "Recently, my memory has begun to fade. Is it a sequelae of time travel? It seems that the human body is really fragile!"

"As everyone knows, I have achieved good results in different fields so far! Actor, writer, host, fashion designer, in addition to music, I want to show my world in different fields! This wish has not ended, but keeps burning in my heart!" After the link was opened, there was a video screen showing a purple-haired guy with a pretty face, wearing strange clothes, standing in the center of a stage, He said with a smile on his face, "I have two things to tell you today. Are you willing to listen?"

"The first thing is that after this concert, I will stop all music-related activities, and then I will become a first-class cartoonist with KOOGY... no, Aoji Kaino, and join the Yueisha That 'Future King's Feast'!" The purple-haired boy's declaration made the audience exclaim.

"Does this little brother also want to participate?" A smile appeared on Takahashi Makoto's face, he picked up the brush in his hand and kept spinning it, looking back at Yoshida, "Not bad! But who sent the invitation? It's Heiyan King, or Lord Calamus? Or someone from your editorial department? But does this have something to do with Her Majesty? It is indeed a common tactic used by headline makers!

Yoshida did not answer, but quickly turned his head away, as if he was afraid to look directly at Makoto Takahashi.

"And the second thing I want to say..." Makaino Onji in the center of the stage paused deliberately, "Have you ever watched Rina-chan's talk show before? Compared to the person you are talking about Rina-chan, Are you curious? As of now, I no longer want to hide it. The person I have agreed to marry is Rina-chan! Will you give us your blessing?

"Together! Together!" The audience cheered from below the stage, and the video ended here.

With a 'pop' sound, the paintbrush in Takahashi Makoto's hand was broken...

"Hey, my beloved cat! Did you invite this purple-haired slime?" Makoto Takahashi had a weird smile on his face and stared at Yoshida!

"The editor-in-chief has been objecting, but this is decided by the board of directors!" Yoshida lowered his head guiltily, trying to find an excuse that could appease Takahashi Makoto's anger, "And with Makaino Aoji's status as a big star, he may be able to More people, join in the ‘feast’!”

"I see!" Although Takahashi Makoto has been in the second grade state for a long time, the second grade does not affect his IQ! "The change in the work content of the special guest judges... is it just for me? In the final analysis, it is just for profit! Such high-profile publicity can attract more people to participate in the 'Feast'. Presumably after this incident, "Young Jumk "The sales volume will also increase a lot, right? I can understand this!"

"That's great!" Yoshida breathed a long sigh of relief, but looking at the cold smile on Makoto Takahashi's face, his heart was filled with relief.

"Understanding is understanding, but offal is offal..." Makoto Takahashi looked disdainfully at Makaino Aoji, who was boasting about himself in the video, "On this occasion, he publicly declared that the offal is hoping that fans will support his work. ”

"..." Yoshida remained silent.

"And he deliberately misinterpreted the words of Her Highness the Princess, and shamelessly disclosed untrue things..." Makoto Takahashi was completely angry, "This bastard who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, who is obviously worse than a slime, actually dared to treat Her Highness the Princess in such a bad way. Peeping thoughts! My beloved cat..."

"Wha...what?" Yoshida suddenly felt an inexplicable chill when he heard Takahashi Makoto's strange voice, and his words became a little stuttered.

"What this bastard did was condoned by your editorial department, right?" Makoto Takahashi put on a black windbreaker, took the wooden sword 'Toyako', and walked in front of Yoshida, "Take me to the editorial department, the war has begun!"

"War?" Looking at Makoto Takahashi's weird outfit, Yoshida was a little worried, pointing at the wooden sword and said, "Well, you can't enter the Yueisha editorial department with that thing!"

"Is that so?" Makoto Takahashi casually stabbed the wooden sword into the wall and said coldly, "It doesn't matter, when necessary, I can also summon the King of Destruction Pineapple! It's not difficult to destroy the world with one blow!"

Seeing that the wooden sword was nailed to the wall so easily, Yoshida was sweating profusely, and he complained in his heart, I don't think there is any need to summon the King of Destruction Pineapple, with the force you just showed, it's easy to destroy the editorial department!

"My beloved cat, don't try to stop me!" Looking at Yoshida who was still hesitating, Takahashi Makoto sneered, "Insulting the feelings of Her Royal Highness the Princess and wantonly trampling on the feast held by us kings! I really want to see if that purple-haired bastard is prepared to bear the king's wrath?"
