A middle school cartoonist

Takahashi Makoto, who has been working hard to complete the manga manuscript recently, today is very rare. As usual, he is bowing his head at the desk and holding a pen to his assistant, Uncle Tintin and Mashiro Girl, showing the so-called "True Unparalleled in the Comics World" paintings. Skills, but sitting on the sofa opposite an uncle who suddenly came to visit!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Jing Zhonghao Jisang, you have bloodshot eyes, thick dark circles, and your whole body is in a state of being completely hollowed out..." Regardless of whether the person you are talking to is a magazine reporter. The editor in charge is either a four-eyed fox from an animation agency, or an uncle from a certain [inheriter of the power of forgiveness]... Sure enough, the pattern at the beginning of [a mockery before getting down to business] has become a certain It’s the standard equipment for middle-level cartoonists! "Although seeing your state, I can tell that you really like the plot I provided... But Jing Zhonghao Jisang, please be a little more restrained! If you continue to cause hundreds of millions of killings every day, I will be very worried. You’re going to kill so many people every night because of overkill before the game is even finished!”

"Hey! Cheng, don't think that your metaphor is very obscure. I don't know what you are talking about! I am not one of those ignorant adolescent boys! I have been married and had a wife. Come here!" He glanced at the boy who was eavesdropping because he was curious about the conversation between the two. Although he didn't mean anything against the other party, he was worried about the presence of minors. Uncle Jing Zhonghao also used comparison. A vague statement... Should we say that people who are already old and still hold middle-school thoughts are all tsunderes with a "venomous tongue and a warm heart"? "And now I still live with my little princess. Apart from working, I basically spend every day with my little princess... How can I have time to do that kind of thing!"

"Objection! By the way, Jing Zhonghao Jisang, don't put on a look of disgust! Compared with teenagers who are dominated by curiosity and the unknown and yearn for that kind of thing, I always think that people who have had that kind of experience, On the contrary, you will know the taste because you have tried it, and it will be easier to get addicted to it!" Makoto Takahashi put on an expression of "I have studied this matter quite a lot", staring at Uncle Jing Zhonghao with a wry smile on his face, and poked him without restraint! He smiled at the other person's pain points and said, "And Jisang, because you are the inheritor of the power of forgiveness, you must have been very depressed during this period... It is precisely because of this that I will put that I’ll leave the plot to you in advance!”

"Hey! Then should I say now, 'Thank you, Mr. Phoenix Academy Kumamoto, for your great kindness, I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart'?" Every time I talk to a certain middle-grade cartoonist, I think That unbearable past will always be used as a weapon by the opponent, and then cause [outstanding] damage to himself... Therefore, it is natural for Jing Zhonghao Jisang's tone to become a little unhappy! "Hmph, if you want to fight, I may not lose to you... So, let's talk about business first!"

"Oh, you may not lose to me if you fight... Jisang, who gave you the courage to say such confident words? Liang Jingru? And I remember the last person who said this, It seems that I fell in love with a lonely star, and then spent my whole life alone... Tsk, tsk, tsk, as expected, Jisang, you can become the "successor of the power of forgiveness", not by chance, but by Steins;Gate. It's your choice!" Looking at Uncle Jing Zhonghao, whose face was getting uglier and gloomier, Takahashi Makoto felt very [pleasure], and then turned to the side of the young boy who was preparing to evacuate because he felt that the conversation was getting more and more dangerous. He waved gently and said, "[Intern Assistant Chore Cat No. 2] who is quietly eavesdropping over there, come over and join in the discussion!"

"Hey, Cheng..." Seeing Takahashi Cheng dragging the unrelated passerby Sorata into the discussion, Uncle Jing Zhonghao couldn't help but frown slightly, "If I remember correctly, this Sorata boy seems to be underage. Well... Although there are no regulations that do not allow minors to participate in the production of games, Cheng, what we want to discuss is related to "Song of Saya"! "

The plot of the game "Saya's Song" is filled with a lot of blood and elements of the 18th Forbidden Period, so...

Whether as a game tester or a game creator, it is wrong to allow minors to access 18-ban games... This is the implication of Uncle Jing Zhonghao!

"Jisun, although you haven't said it yet, I have roughly guessed the reason for your visit this time..." Takahashi Makoto squinted his eyes, and after looking up and down the Sorata boy's body, he said calmly He said, "So let's change the mode of discussion... skip the parts of the game plot itself that cannot be discussed, and directly choose to talk about our feelings through the different endings of the game!"

"Bypassing some unspeakable plots in the game, directly tell Sorata boy how he feels, and then let the other party judge whether it is feasible... I think I roughly understand what you mean!" Although he understood Takahashi Makoto's intention, the new Doubts also followed, "But Acheng... why did he do it to this extent?"

"As a mortal, Sorata boy lives in Sakurasou, but he is surrounded by a group of genius-level roommates. Even the person he is dating now is a world-class genius painter..." Under the astonished gaze of Sorata boy, Gao Gao Qiao Cheng told Uncle Jing Zhonghao all about Sorata boy's life and past, as well as his inner confusion and uneasiness in a very calm tone, "...This is basically the situation! In order to make people who are about to transfer to [Game Planner] A professional young man wants to see the level of a real gaming professional, that’s why I made such a request!”

"Uncle... thank you..." The boy Sorata, who had been teased (taught) by a certain second-grade cartoonist in various ways during this period, his original dissatisfaction was instantly wiped away...

"Of course, I just think it's more interesting this way..." After accepting Sorata Boy's thanks as a matter of course, Takahashi Makoto pretended to be [tsundere] and acted duplicity, and then... and then immediately exposed his demonic nature. Such evil and evil taste! "And I will record the entire performance of Sora Taisho today and store it in my [Memory Palace] as material for future creation... After all, Demon God Phoenix Academy Jiuzhen has always followed the principle of [equivalent exchange], but I will never do any holy act of [helping others for free]!”

"..." The boy Kong Tai was silent for a moment... Can you take back my gratitude just now and say MMP or calcium oxide instead?

"Young man, in this world, especially around this kind of devil... it's hard for a simple existence like you to survive!" Uncle Jing Zhonghao, who was trying his best to hold back his smile and his whole face became distorted, He patted the boy Sorata on the shoulder vigorously, "Are you determined to become a game planner? It is indeed a great ideal, young man! This is how people should have ideals, just in case in the future..."

"If I see a ghost in the future, I can tell the other person openly that I have never regretted living in this world!" Makoto Takahashi decisively turned the chicken soup prepared by Uncle Jing Zhonghao into poisonous chicken soup! "Enough chatting...then let's get started!"

"White coat, I want to participate too..." The white girl who had just finished eating five Baumkuchen cakes naturally sat down next to Sorata boy and intervened forcefully...

"Tsk, is this the secret of the couple's combo skill [True Husband Sings and Wife Kills]?" Uncle Jing Zhonghao, who was being treated like shit, muttered dissatisfiedly, but did not refuse the Zhenbai girl's request and began to tell the story. The three endings of the game "Saya's Song"!

Although he avoided part of the plot of the game itself, under Uncle Jing Zhonghao's methodical narration, the boy Sorato still roughly understood the settings of the game itself... Uncle Jing Zhonghao deserves to be praised as a brilliant game planner. Or should we praise Sorata boy for being worthy of wanting to be a game planner?

As for the Mashiro girl... she seems to be still immersed in the aftertaste of Baumkuchen, right?

"...Um...I want to ask..." Sorata boy pondered for a moment, then looked at Makoto Takahashi hesitantly, and then stammered and asked, "Why is this game so different when it is set?" , there is no [Happyend] option? No matter what choice is made, won’t Saya be unable to meet her lover in the end? This ending setting will easily make players feel depressed and heartbroken, right?

"You are able to notice this...you are indeed very good, Mr. Kong Tai!" Although he said the words of praise, Uncle Jing Zhonghao shook his head slightly and sighed silently in his heart...

But...still too young!

After all, some of the settings in this game... all determine that this game is a [novelty-oriented] rather than an [orthodox] game!

"It's because of [love]!" After such an answer suddenly appeared in her mouth, the girl Mashiro stared at Makoto Takahashi intently, "The style feels somewhat similar to the manga we are drawing..."

Listening to the sudden speech of the real white girl, Uncle Jing Zhonghao tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face, but his heart was already shattered... because the real white girl just said it directly by listening to the feelings she said. I came to the conclusion that I had to think about for several days!

Is this... the feeling ability of a world-class genius painter?

"Love?" Sorata said that he couldn't understand it at all, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, "Then, that kind of ending...it has nothing to do with [love], right?"

"Young Sorata boy, you know absolutely nothing about [love]...ah no, it must be too narrow-minded!" Makoto Takahashi noticed the flash of loss and dejection in the eyes of boy Sorata. , it was rare that he did not make insults, but instead comforted the young man who was hit hard.

"This scene and this method of persuasion..." Regarding Takahashi Makoto's comfort, Sorata boy felt that he had seen the scene at this moment before...

"The understanding of [love] is still limited to a narrow scope, because you are still young, Kong Tai, and your experience is not broad enough..."

"Why do I have a strong sense of déjà vu..." The young boy was trying to remember...

"When you enter society in the future, experience the baptism and tempering of human intrigues, and struggle in desperate dilemmas, you will find the feeling of "pleasure" from the so-called "love"... I understand. Only after experiencing true [pleasure] can you understand true [love]!”

"Eh!?? Aren't these... the words you said when you persuaded Mr. Hiramaru?" Sorata finally recalled how a certain chuunibyou cartoonist led another cartoonist astray... But the difference is that Sorata was a bystander!

And this time... he became the one being persuaded!

After this chapter was released, the number of words in this book exceeded two million.

Originally, a cat was going to use this as the title, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it!

This is a book written out of interest by a cat. It will be exactly three years tomorrow. Thank you all readers for your continued support. Thank you all readers for your tolerance of my willfulness and various interruptions and water injections. I will conduct a deep self-criticism, and then continue to write out of interest, write what I want to write, and what can please myself!

Of course, if you adults will also feel happy about this, it would be great!

PS: I don't want to write these in a separate chapter, because I think that for all the readers, it is better to spend more time and effort to write another chapter than to write some hypocritical thanks in a separate chapter (laugh)!

I wish all the readers a good dream, good night~ meow~
