A middle school cartoonist

Takahashi Makoto's overly surprised reaction not only shocked the already nervous Shizuru River, but also Yoshida!

"Just as people decay and die, the country will eventually go to ruin. Even the imperial capital, which has been prosperous for a thousand years, has now become a corrupt living hell. The demons and monsters in human skin are rampant as if no one is around! If God has no time to punish evil, we will wipe it out in the darkness... All of us are professional killers!"

Takahashi Makoto just read out the opening narration of Shizuru River's new comic!

Although this descriptive narration, combined with the ugly appearance of humans, has indeed roughly explained the plot background of the comic, allowing anyone who observes the comic draft to understand at the first time that this is not a mainstream comic... But the reason why Takahashi Makoto is excited is not this!

But...

"No, wait! If it's just the opening narration, maybe we can't be sure..." Takahashi Makoto came back to his senses from the excitement, picked up the comic manuscript again, and said something that made Shizukawa and Yoshida confused, "Read the content of this chapter first before making a judgment! If it's true... Huh? Isn't this very interesting? Sure enough, everything is the choice of the door of fate! Hahaha..."

"By the way, Shizukawa-kun, I remember that your opening chapter just described the story background of the comic, right?" Looking at Takahashi Makoto who was flipping through the comic manuscript while laughing strangely, Yoshida whispered to Shizukawa with a frown on his face, "Are you sure that there is no pre-set magic formula in the comic manuscript that ordinary people can't see, but will make the second-year cartoonist go crazy after reading it?"

"Huh? Even Mr. Yoshida..." Should we say that they are worthy of being the editor-in-chief of the comic collection who have cooperated for many years, even their thinking patterns are unusually similar! Shizukawa turned to look at Yoshida with a helpless look on his face, and managed to reply through his teeth, "Of course there is no such strange thing! Absolutely not!"

"Ah, that's really great! I thought Shizukawa-kun would be like Cheng, saying that some weird magic spells were actually implanted in the comics..." Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, holding his chest with an expression like "If there is another chuunibaku manga artist, I will go crazy", and said to Shizukawa with relief, "This is the reaction of a normal manga artist! I originally thought that Shizukawa-kun, as Cheng's Assistants will be infected with certain special diseases in a subtle way... Ahem, but through the test just now, it seems that you, Jinghe, are not affected by Cheng, which is really great! "

"Uh... Although I respect Mr. Fenghuangyuan very much, I think Mr. Fenghuangyuan's personality..." Jinghe turned his head and looked at Takahashi Makoto who was quickly flipping through the comic manuscript, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Probably in my life, I will never..."

Looking at Jinghe silently watching Takahashi Makoto, Yoshida also stopped complaining and fell into deep thought!

When Jinghe submitted his work to the monthly magazine earlier, as a debut comic work, it directly surprised the entire editorial side at the serialization meeting! Although that work was too dark and not suitable for the style of Weekly "Shonen Jumk", it still left a deep impression in the hearts of the editors on the editorial side! I remember that it seemed to be Aida at that time? He strongly recommended to Editor-in-Chief Sasaki that the new serialization should adopt Jinghe's work... But in the end it was rejected by the editor-in-chief!

Then...

Then, under the arrangement of the editor-in-chief, Shizukawa became the assistant of the cartoonist Houhouin Kyouma!

He only serialized a short story in the weekly magazine, and then arranged this promising newcomer to be the assistant of a middle school cartoonist... At the beginning, Yoshida had no idea why the editor-in-chief made such an arrangement, but thinking back to the work he had seen before, Yoshida seemed to understand what the editor-in-chief meant!

Although it is a very remarkable talent to be able to draw a comic that reflects the inner darkness 100%...but for the cartoonist himself, in a sense, it is a devastating disaster! Because comics can reflect the soul of the cartoonist, so if you have been completing dark comics, no matter how strong the spirit is, no matter how determined the cartoonist is, one day you will not be able to withstand the erosion of darkness!

If he had agreed to Shizukawa's serialization of the dark work, perhaps the influence of Weekly Shonen Jumk on readers would have been further expanded, and Shizukawa would have gathered a lot of popularity in a very short time... However, the final result would have made Shizukawa, the cartoonist, fall into a dark vortex and unable to escape, and even completely ruined the cartoonist Shizukawa's life!

The price of increasing the weekly sales and attracting more readers was to ruin a cartoonist, and even ruin a person's life... If Yueisha really adopted such an inhumane approach, it might have ceased to exist long ago, right?

"Hey, Ryuko, I won't read the next plot..."

Makoto Takahashi, who suddenly spoke, brought Yoshida back to his senses from his contemplation! Looking at Makoto Takahashi carefully sorting out the comic manuscript in his hand while showing a weird smile, Yoshida suddenly felt a chill!

"After Mr. Yoshida just finished reading the manga manuscript, he just commented that the twist of the plot is amazing; and you, Mr. Kouma from the Phoenix Academy, haven't even finished reading the manga manuscript..." Jinghe, who had been nervous, said After Qiao Cheng's words, he seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant, and said softly in a disappointed tone, "When I created this comic, although I invested my emotions and soul as the teacher from the Phoenix Institute said, it turned out... ...still doesn’t work?”

"No, it's not like that..." Looking at Jing Hehe's lonely expression at this moment, Yoshida suddenly felt a sense of guilt and immediately explained hurriedly, "The plot twist of this comic is very well designed..."

"Mr. Yoshida, you don't need to comfort me deliberately..." Jinghe's look of loss and that desperate tone made Yoshida's inner guilt rise to another level again!

"So Shizuka-kun, I was too surprised by the plot of the manga, so I forgot to comment on your manga!" Yoshida's hurried explanation seemed... to have no effect at all! At least Jinghe’s frustration has not been relieved yet…

"Tsk, my beloved is a cat. If you keep talking, maybe Liuzi will feel world-weary tomorrow and go directly to the Kingdom of Heaven to report the day after tomorrow!"

"..." By the way, Makoto Takahashi, are you cursing? It's definitely a curse... Although Yoshida wanted to roar like this to Takahashi Makoto at the moment, looking at Shizuka who was completely silent, Yoshida wisely chose to shut up!

"Ruko, it's not that I can't stand your manga manuscript, but I found something interesting..." As Takahashi Makoto said, he walked to his desk, took out a piece of manuscript paper and started writing quickly. Get up... After a while, Takahashi Makoto handed the manuscript paper full of words in his hand to Shizuo He, and said with a smile, "Then, the time to witness the miracle has come! Ryuko, look at what I wrote... Hey , My beloved cat, at this time, shouldn't you be like a villain, making exit declarations like "I will come back" or "It feels so disgusting", and then be blown away gorgeously? Why are you still here?"

"Blow up? That way I won't be able to come back! Cheng, you... ugh!" Before Yoshida could use the three-part complaint he was good at, he was banned by a middle-class cartoonist! As for the method of banning... a sword is placed at the side of the neck. Do normal people know the meaning of this behavior, right?

"Eh? This is..." After reading the prop provided by Makoto Takahashi [the manuscript paper recording mysterious words], Jinghe raised his head and looked at Makoto Takahashi in disbelief, "Phoenix Academy Teacher, you, you……"

"Hey, Ryuko, the following plot... it should be like this, right?" Makoto Takahashi tilted his head and looked at Jinghe River with a smile, "Maybe there are some differences in the character names, but the general development of the plot, I think It might be fun to draw it like this!”

"Yeah! This is what I want to draw!" Jinghe nodded with surprise on his face, looking at Makoto Takahashi with admiration in his eyes, "I just read a word, no, Just by reading a little bit of the plot of the comic, I can predict the development of my new comic... Mr. Phoenix Academy, you are really awesome!”

"Just by reading a part of the comic manuscript, I can guess the plot of the entire comic... Hey, hey, hey, although I know you are a monster-level cartoonist, Cheng, but you can do this to this extent..." The forbidden speech seal Yoshida, who was untied, had already noticed a fact from the conversation and reactions between the two that he could not imagine or believe at all!

"Because for Phoenix Academy Murderer, cartoonist is just a cover-up profession. My real profession is the legendary [Time Observer] who can cross the world barrier! I'm just a wanderer..." Ignoring Yoshida who interrupted and tried to intervene in the conversation, Takahashi Makoto frowned with dissatisfaction and stared at Jinghe in confusion, "Is that just that? Don't you have anything else to say?"

"..." Jinghe lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Makoto Takahashi with some depression, and asked with some uncertainty, "Teacher from the Phoenix Institute, are you trying to say that in fact, the film I completed Did you come up with comics a long time ago?"

"No! Of course it's not this! And this kind of question is not important!" After hearing Jinghe's question, Takahashi Makoto seemed a little crazy and began to pace back and forth impatiently... After thinking for a moment, Takahashi Makoto , and then gradually calmed down the restlessness in his heart, and continued his conversation with Jing Hehe! "Hey, Liuzi, let me put it bluntly...the king of heaven and the tiger of earth!"

"Eh?" Not to mention Shizuhe, even Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi with an embarrassed face... Finally, Shizuhe broke the awkward atmosphere and asked with some reluctance, "Phoenix Academy Teacher, you, you What are you talking about?"

"Hey! Don't you know? Originally, I thought Liuzi you were... No, wait! It seems that there has never been such a rule [the traveler must be from my big ****], right? Then there is still a possibility ..." Makoto Takahashi pinched his chin and murmured to himself something that Yoshida and Shizukawa didn't understand. Then he raised his head again and looked at Shizukawa, and asked with an unusually serious expression, "Ruko, do you know Fuyuki City? Holy Grail War? Or do you know Mr. Octopus who was mistaken for the [Moon Exploder]? Or do you know God Sakamoto who brought all the teachers and students in the school into the Crystal Palace?"

"...I'm sorry, this is the first time I heard what you said, Teacher Phoenix Academy!" Jinghe said with a look of apology and admiration!

"These sound like they could be good comic themes..." You don't have to think about it to know that the only person who can say this at this time is Yoshida, the editor-in-chief!

"Tsk! I thought I finally met someone of the same kind! I didn't expect that everything was just a coincidence... huh? Accident?" Takahashi Cheng suddenly stopped mid-sentence, with a strange smile on his face, "Huh! Sure enough, there is no such thing in this world. By chance, [Time Observer] is the only one... Sure enough, everything is just Steins;Gate's choice! Hahahahaha..."

Although Takahashi Makoto is looking up and laughing at this moment, both Yoshida and Shizuka can feel the depressing helplessness... and pain from Takahashi Makoto's laughter!
