A middle school cartoonist

Yoshida has been quite unhappy recently...

It's not because of the psychological trauma caused by the bullying of Makoto Takahashi before, nor because of the spoilers from Shizuka River that "CLANNAD" will have the heart-breaking content in the future, nor because of the recent plot of a certain middle school cartoonist to kill the readers...Yoshida is unhappy because he has read the comic "Dream Eater" published in the weekly "Shonen Jumk" last week!

Because Yoshida's recent energy has been spent on the serialization of the comic "CLANNAD" and on guarding against Makoto Takahashi's various evil-tasting [Punishment Games], Yoshida, who was originally the editor of the weekly "Shonen Jumk", seems to be a little slack...Of course, it's not dereliction of duty. After all, for the comics serialized by Makoto Takahashi in the weekly, Yoshida will carefully and strictly review the comic manuscripts after receiving them every week!

If it were another cartoonist who has been serializing in a weekly magazine for a long time, Yoshida might not need to do this. After all, cartoonists who can serialize in a weekly magazine for a long time have gradually become accustomed to the weekly serialization model and know how to deal with it... For example, the little otter with [escape addiction], although he always complains like "I don't want to draw" or "I can't draw anymore", as long as Yoshida induces him a little and sprinkles some bait, the little otter will take the bait and become a slave that Yoshida can drive at will!

In short, when dealing with the little otter, Yoshida only needs to give the little otter the motivation to create comics. As for the content and plot of the comics, or the character settings... These are things that should be the responsibility of the cartoonist, and Yoshida doesn't need to worry about them at all!

But when the target is changed to Makoto Takahashi, Yoshida can't do this... Just like the comic manuscript of "Dream Eater" this time!

This is a comic that describes the growth experience of cartoonist Ashiro Mumengye. Since it was serialized, it has always ranked very well. However, due to the fierce competition in the weekly magazine, this comic seems to have never made it into the top five... On the contrary, Ashiro Mumengye's good friend has gained a lot of popularity among readers because of this comic, which has made their recently serialized new comic successfully overthrow the weekly serialization of Nizuma Eiji, and even won the first place for several weeks in a row!

Although Yoshida already knew that this comic was created based on Ashiro Mumengye's experience; although Yoshida has learned enough information from Ashiro Mumengye to speculate the general plot of the comic; although Yoshida once worried that Takahashi Makoto would deliberately change the content of the comic in order to enjoy the pleasure of killing readers... But all along, Takahashi Makoto has only talked about it, and has not put those dangerous and even twisted ideas into the comic, so Yoshida naturally relaxed his vigilance and became relaxed!

Especially after reading this episode, Yoshida really regretted that he had neglected the manga "Dream Eater" during this period!

Today, Ajo Mumuha can be regarded as a popular cartoonist on the weekly "Shonen Jumk"... and the content of this episode of "Dream Eater" happens to be the story of Ajo Mumuha just starting to serialize "Suspect Detective Trap"!

In the comics, the duo of Ajo Mumuha, who finally got the opportunity to serialize, were about to take this opportunity to show their talents, but Mashiro Toutou, who was in charge of drawing, fell down because of illness! In view of Mashiro Toutou's uncle who died of overwork, the editor-in-chief of the comics, while making the decision to stop the comic "Suspect Detective Trap", also ordered Ajo Mumuha to prohibit any work related to comic serialization before completing high school!

Although Yoshida knew the subsequent development of this matter, with the joint efforts of the cartoonist and the editor, he did succeed in getting the editor-in-chief to retract the decision of [letting Yashiro Mumeha take a break until high school graduation]... But the problem is that the readers who have been observing the comics don't know about this development! Moreover, the content of this episode, under the special arrangement of a certain chuuni cartoonist, was only serialized to the time when the editor-in-chief made that unreasonable decision!

"Uh... the content of this episode..." The reason why Yoshida's mouth twitched was of course not because of toothache, but because of the content of this episode of the comic "Dream Eater" in his hand! "Well, Cheng, the way you draw this chapter seems a bit..."

"Hmm? Are you dissatisfied?" Takahashi Cheng glanced at Yoshida, who was frowning, and muttered with a dissatisfied look, "Hey, hey, hey, my cat, if it weren't for the wise decision made by the commander in chief, I would have used the content of this chapter to directly incite readers to attack your editor's headquarters! In a sense, I am showing mercy... You must remember to thank me for my kindness every day!"

"By the way... what kind of Show some mercy?" Yoshida raised the comic manuscript in his hand with amusement and helplessness, "After this episode is published, our weekly editorial department will definitely be denounced by readers!"

"Huh? Is that so?" Takahashi Makoto deliberately showed a surprised look, pinching his chin and muttering, "If such an interesting thing really happens... By the way, should I run to the editorial headquarters like I did when the monthly magazine published "CLANNAD" last time, and observe the wonderful scene of you who stayed on the editorial side being bullied by the readers? Ah, I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it!"

"Cartoonists wearing white coats are not allowed to enter... The editorial department, the editorial department has such a rule!" Hey, Yoshida, are you talking nonsense? How could there be such a baffling rule in an organization like the editorial side that fights against the five scumbags... Do you dare to directly put up a sign saying [Cartoonist Phoenix Academy Murderous No Entry]?

"Oh? Does the editorial side actually have such targeted regulations?" Makoto Takahashi squinted his right eye and looked at Yoshida, with a dangerous smile on his face, "It seems that if you are free one day, you need to come to confirm. ! But if the editor sets up a childish ambush like [Smashing a Cup as a Sign]... with [Demon Sword Broken Star], it should be enough, right? After all, I can fight those scumbags on the editor's side! One hundred..."

"Yes, yes...but before that, let me take a look at the content of this sentence!" In response to Takahashi Makoto's threatening speech, Yoshida could only give a perfunctory answer!

If he gives an answer such as "Don't say such dangerous things with a smile" or "Begging to let the editorial department go"... then Makoto Takahashi, who originally only stayed in the declaration stage, will enter the "execution stage" [Motor] mode, really putting terrifying words into action! It has to be said that during the long time spent with a certain middle-class cartoonist, in addition to mastering some of Makoto Takahashi's action patterns, what Yoshida gained the most was how to talk without arousing resentment and anger in others. Reasonably change the topic under the circumstances... Under Makoto Takahashi's various trainings, Yoshida's [Secret Technique: Topic Changing Technique] has been successfully cultivated to the top!

According to common sense, it is a very normal and common routine for the protagonist of a comic to encounter setbacks and endure hardships in the process of growing up. Many comics will use this routine... However, for the comic "Dream Eater" That said, although this routine also applies, please don’t forget that in a sense, this comic can be regarded as a comic that records facts!

Acheng Mu Mengye was hospitalized, and the editor issued a ban. A Cheng Mu Mengye was angry and sad, unwilling to give in, and then began to prepare for a fight... Although in the comics of "Dream Eater", Takahashi Makoto and the cartoonist Phoenix were not mentioned The character of Inakima exists, but Yoshida, who looked through the manga manuscript of this chapter again, did not feel that there was any problem in the connection of the content!

The existence of the cartoonist Phoenix Academy Murderer is the only way to distinguish the comic "Dream Eaters" from the real world... Although Cheng has always insisted that he will not appear in this comic, he always feels... ...A Cheng is actually using this method to indirectly enhance his sense of existence!

And... It is said that Makoto Takahashi, who was once encountered a bank robber, happened to be admitted to the hospital during that time, and like Ajou Mumenha, he almost suffered a ban from the editor... So...

"Speaking of Cheng, I was wondering why you planned to publish the content of this chapter, apart from the need for the comic plot..." Yoshida suddenly thought of a possibility, raised his head and stared at Takahashi Makoto for a long time, and said with He asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Although the editor-in-chief finally chose to withdraw the ban, Cheng... Sure enough, you still regret what happened back then, right?"

"Tsk, who would remember that kind of thing so clearly? At that time, I wanted to sneak out of the ward quietly late one night, and then ambush the Commander on his way home and assassinate him... But am I such a narrow-minded being? If you want to take revenge on the editor...can the moral law restrain the murderous demon king of the Phoenix Academy?"

"There is a saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years... uh... okay!" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi who turned his head and got the answer he wanted to know without asking any more questions! Yoshida didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Takahashi Makoto with some depression, "Say, Cheng, if you don't think so, why do you turn your head to the side? Is it because you are being talked about and don't dare to look at me directly?"

"Looking deeply at a man who is single and ready to become a saint? My beloved cat, even if your evil soul has completely rotted beyond repair, I won't say anything... But I don't have that kind of Twisted consciousness!" Makoto Takahashi said this, drawing out his magic sword and looking at Yoshida warily, "If you want to develop in that direction, I can help you introduce it... After all, I have personally killed a certain purple girl before. Send the offal into the [forbidden ♦philosophy] world!”

"Then Cheng, why did you finish this chapter? At least tell me, right?" Although Yoshida was already sure that this was an act of revenge that had been brewing for a long time by a vindictive manga artist, but... what he said now, I guess my end will be very bad!

"Hey, my beloved is a cat. The reason why I want to serialize the content of this chapter is just to show the so-called [truth] in front of human beings! The change of the times, the country's theory, values ​​and ethics Changes... In short, human beings will always be affected by various things and change, and over a long period of time, they will lose themselves and fall into the abyss, being swallowed up by the torrent of the times and disappearing. The only thing people want to believe is that! The reality before our eyes, so the truth is often the easiest to be deceived. This is human weakness and an insurmountable limit!”

"Uh... this..." Although the reasons were different, like Miss Aoi Ueno before, Yoshida also felt a sense of disobedience at this moment! Why is it that Makoto Takahashi, who has always seemed to be in his mid-20s, now seems to be overly serious, even a little sacred? Wrong, it’s an illusion...

"Bringing the truth called [Reality] to mankind, this is the [Principle] I pursue as a [Partner of Justice], and it is also the choice of Steins;Gate! Hahahahaha..." Makoto Takahashi said This last-minute speech made Yoshida's sense of disobedience instantly go offline...

However, even if the words of [Sword Emperor] are stolen...

But if you want the image of a middle-class cartoonist to instantly become taller... As expected, there is no possibility of this at all by visual inspection!
