Nine-tailed black fox pension routine

==============================

"I'm back. Let's take a break. I bought afternoon tea. Aunt Shimizu, please make some tea. Please come and eat with us. I bought a lot of refreshments." Ren Oda once returned to work The room called the assistants to take a break.

As long as the assistants of the studio work here for a few days, they will know the bodyguards around Ren Oda who change every day. The three assistants who have been working here from the beginning have seen almost all the swords of Honmaru.

"Is it the Hijikata-gumi this time?" Katagiri Katagiri, a professional assistant who was recruited to Oda Ren's side by editor Kirishima at a high price since Oda Ren announced the serialization, said with a smile.

"Yes. Kanesan and I will be responsible for today's guard work." Horikawa said with a smile.

"Earthwork Group? Codename?" The newcomer on the side asked suspiciously.

"Well, let's put it this way. The short-haired boy's code name is Horikawa Kunihiro, and the long-haired youth's code name is Izumi Mori Kanesada. These two swords are Hijikata Toshizo's favorite swords, and they are partners, so they are called Hijikata Group." Oda Ren explained with a smile while unpacking the dessert box.

"Wow, I didn't expect that there are people who like swords so much."

"Haha, they are all bodyguards assigned to me since I was a child. In order to be easy to remember, I set their code names as Touken's name based on their personalities and relationships. For example, the Okita group will come over in a few days. Also There is an Oda group who loves and hates the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven." Oda Ren chatted and joked with the assistants with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

Izumi Mamoru and Horikawa couldn't help laughing as they looked at the assistants who were fooled by them.Everyone ate afternoon tea and chatted and rested for an hour. The assistants consciously returned to the work room to continue working. Only Ren Oda and Touken waited for the editor to come to the restaurant.

Because there was a traffic accident and a traffic jam on the way, the editor-in-chief had already called Ren Oda and postponed the visit to three o'clock.Before the chief editor and new editor arrived, Ren Oda collected the manuscripts drawn by his assistants, and found that he had already accumulated manuscripts for three episodes, "That pure love manga is over. For JUMP, count Now that the assistants have drawn the original manuscript, I have more than a month of ample time, should I go out to collect folk songs?"

Izumi's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Do you still want to go to that town?"

Oda Ren thought for a while and said, "I won't go there this time. Let's go skiing in Hokkaido and take a hot spring by the way."

Izumi Shou asked suspiciously: "Won't it attract attention if everyone goes together?"

Oda Ren nodded, and said indifferently: "Then book the ski resort."

Horikawa laughed dryly, then looked at Izumi Mori happily and asked if the activity of skiing was interesting. 'Scenes like this are the ones I want to protect the most. '

When it was almost three o'clock, there was a sound of heavy breathing at the door, obviously caused by strenuous exercise because of rushing time.The three people inside the door all heard the panting of someone coming, but they all looked at the housewife humming and washing the dishes in the kitchen at the same time, and none of them took the initiative to open the door.

The two men at the door took a breath before ringing the doorbell.

"I'll go and open the door." Horikawa reached out to stop the housekeeper from putting down the dishes and opening the door, and left the restaurant with a smile to open the door.

"The two are the editors of the editorial department. Please come in, the young master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Editor-in-chief Sasaki Sasaki and editor Aida Satoru saw a beautiful boy who rarely appeared in reality, and gave people the impression that he only appeared in comics.The expressions of the two couldn't help but froze, "Excuse me."

Not planning to entertain guests in the restaurant, Oda Ren quickly brought Izumi Mamoru from the restaurant to the living room. "Long time no see, editor-in-chief Sasaki. Please sit down, what would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"

Sasaki and Aida looked at each other, and Sasaki said, "Please give us coffee."

Horikawa Kunihiro didn't need Oda Ren to signal, he went to the kitchen to inform the housekeeper very understandingly, and brought the prepared coffee and matching milk foam and sugar into the living room.

"Ms. Kirishima has already submitted her resignation letter, so I'm going to ask Editor Aida to be your responsible editor." Sasaki took a sip of coffee before talking about the business.

"First of all, my comics do not allow people to point fingers. Because I like to set up foreshadowing, once I change it, I will face the collapse of a large-scale serial system, so I don't allow anyone to change my comics. In life, if I I can deliver the manuscript on time, so please don’t nag me about my habit of going out to the mountains and wild forests to collect folk songs.

For me, if a comic has come to an end, I will never force him to continue his life.I am not short of money. I want to serialize, publish, and turn comics into animations. I want to be praised and understood.So I absolutely don't want people to say that I'm making money and delaying the completion.

But I can guarantee that before the end of a manga, I will serialize another work that can succeed him.By the way, this work is still far from the end, at least it can be serialized for three or four years, so please don't worry too much. "Oda Ren considered the popularity of her current works, and decided to lay out her bottom line, so as not to argue in the future.

"These Ms. Kirishima have already reported to me, and I can agree to you on behalf of the editorial agency. But our request is that if you delay the manuscript for no reason, then the agreement of not interfering with your travel to collect materials and the completion of the work will be void." Sasaki Shang pushed his glasses and said bluntly.

"Okay. Then Editor Aida, please give me more advice in the future." Ren Oda agreed without hesitation.He originally signed the most lenient contract within JUMP's bottom line, and with his obsessive-compulsive habits, he would not allow himself to drag the draft to open the window unless he was really exhausted.

"Please give me more advice in the future, Takenouchi-sensei." Aida Satoshi stood up and shook hands with Oda Ren to sign the deal.

After there was nothing to negotiate, Ren Oda sent the completed manuscript of Chapter 1 to Editor Aida for review.Editor Aida was very surprised and began to check the manuscript, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.You know, most of the writers who are serializing now are patients with procrastination, and even if they have saved manuscripts, they only have 2 or [-] chapters. (Need to watch the reader's reaction to the plot; no money to hire assistants or less, need to draw more things by myself; lack of inspiration; lazy cancer attack.)

A writer like Oda Ren who dares to ignore readers' feedback and save a lot of manuscripts in one go according to his own ideas is not to say that there is no such thing, but it is very rare (he is the only one today).

"In a while, I'm going to Hokkaido for skiing, and I'm preparing for the alpine forest scene in the next snow season. The assistant still has two chapters of manuscripts. If I haven't come back after finishing these three chapters, I'll ask Editor Aida to work. Just go to the assistant team leader Mr. Katagiri in the office and ask for the original manuscripts of those two chapters.

Before I leave, I will call Mr. Aida to notify him. Normally, it takes a week, and the material will be collected for half a month at most. However, if there are any special circumstances that delay the original manuscript, the editor Aida will need to come to the studio to keep an eye on it.There are three permanent assistants here, and they are the main force.

There are also three assistants whose positions are always changing, usually for newcomers who want to take the path of cartoonists to experience and adapt to the working environment.If there is a change in the resignation of these three assistants, Mr. Katagiri will contact Editor Aida as soon as possible, and I hope you can help make it up as soon as possible.

Mr. Katagiri will determine what kind of salary the assistants can get based on the work they can undertake.Although I can provide emergency assistance here, it does not include accommodation. After all, my salary base here is large. As long as you are diligent and capable, you can earn enough money to rent an apartment like a studio every month.

I have nothing else to say. Oda Ren picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his mouth was a little dry just now.

"Yeah, I got it. Then, teacher, please introduce Team Leader Katagiri to me. And the storyboard of the two episodes drawn by the assistant now, can you show me?" Satoshi Aida took out a notebook to record I talked about what Oda Ren said about going to Hokkaido to collect folk songs.

"Okay. Izumi Mamoru, go to the studio and get the sketchbook of the shot from my desk." Oda Ren directly ordered Izumi Mamoru who was standing behind him.

"Yes." Izumi Mori entered the studio without saying a word, and soon saw a sketchbook with storyboards written on Oda Ren's neat workbench. "Master, storyboard."

"Editor Aida, this is my storyboard..."

Oda Ren and Aida Satoshi had a chat for the first time, and it took more than two hours just to explain some of his habits.After Katagiri Katagiri and Aida Satoru were introduced, and the editor-in-chief and Aida editor were sent away, the sky had already darkened.

Not in time to go back to Honmaru for dinner, Ren Oda touched his stomach that was still deflated after eating two bowls of rice, and said to Izumi Mori and Horikawa: "I'm so hungry, let's go out for a midnight snack."

Both Izumi Mamoru and Horikawa knew that Oda Ren's appetite would be difficult to fill unless he ate spiritual food. Although they didn't need to eat, they couldn't deny that having a human body gave them the appetite that human beings pursue.

Who in this pill doesn't know that the protagonist's mouth is very picky, and the shops that can make him fall in love with him are basically shops with two unique skills.This not only made Mitsutada, the candlestick of Honmaru, obsessed with recipes from various countries, but also the biggest surprise every time he came to the world as a guard was to be able to eat the snacks or supper bought by the lord that day.

While Oda Ren was taking Hijikata Group to find food, Sasaki Shang and Aida Soichi were talking about him.

"Ms. Takenouchi is the most worry-free teacher among writers except that he doesn't like restraint." Satoshi Aida held the manuscript like a hamster holding melon seeds, smiling contentedly.

"Ms. Takenouchi's success is difficult to replicate. Not everyone has a genius mind and a family background like Mr. Takenouchi. Mr. Takenouchi only completed the first three chapters of each work independently, and the other manuscripts are basic. by the assistant.

I remember that it was not until three years ago, after the animation of "Orpheus", that Mr. Takenouchi barely managed to make ends meet.Ms. Kirishima also specially bought a small cake and took it to the editorial department to celebrate for herself. Sasaki said with a smile.

Aida Satoshi also smiled and said: "That's true. But I heard that this year's Tezuka Prize has discovered another genius."

Sasaki still thought of the boy who clamored to become the most popular manga artist, and showed a happy expression, "Although the child's waywardness may not be inferior to Mr. Takenouchi, as the editor-in-chief, I am still very happy that he has such ambition and potential."
