Chapter 21 His Goal

The structure of the Boy Jump editorial department is very simple. There is one editor-in-chief, three groups of editors under him, each group has an associate editor, and several editors under him.

The editor-in-chief named Takashi Sasaki sat at his desk, looked at the second group of deputy editor Koji Yoshida, and repeated: "You mean, the author of "Naruto" is only ten years old?"

Yoshida Koji nodded: "Yes, from the phone, it can be heard that the other party is not very old, and he really wants to become a cartoonist, but because he is underage, we need to talk to his guardian."

Editor-in-chief Zhang Sasaki pondered. He looked at the manuscript in his hand. The story of "Naruto Naruto" was very interesting, and the author's paintings were also very good. It is gentle and light, and some places are rigid and powerful, with a strong impact, and the setting of this ninja system only shows the tip of the iceberg, and many things can continue to be explored in the follow-up. It is a popular masterpiece that can become a full-length novel!

however……

"Ten years old? Such a young age? Are you sure there are no other original works?"

Yoshida Koji shook his head: "No, I talked to him about the direction and setting of the follow-up story. The child has already thought about everything, and the story development is also ups and downs. It doesn't look like there are other original works."

Sasaki said: "Since this work has been shortlisted for the Tezuka Award, it is enough to prove its potential. In any case, we do not want such an excellent work to die."

Koji Yoshida looked at the editor-in-chief in surprise: "You mean this work was shortlisted for the Tezuka Award?"

"Yes, although it hasn't been announced yet, the ranking has already been announced. It is an entry award with great potential." Sasaki said decisively: "Since the other party asks us to have an interview, let's go and see for ourselves."

Yoshida Koji took a deep breath: "Yes!"

He must make this work truly serialized!

...The dream of real serialization seems a little far away.

When Yoshida Koji and Sasaki really found the door according to the address, they were completely dumbfounded.

The address of Natsukawa Uo-ryu is in the annex of Kumamoto. As an ancient family, even the annex is a large courtyard. When standing in front of the door and knocking on the door, it was not just Yoshida Koji. , even Sasaki, the editor-in-chief, was a little nervous.

If this author really lives in this kind of place, he is definitely not someone who can be moved by money.

You rang the doorbell, and it took a long time for someone to answer the door.

What came out was a young man wearing a large gray yukata with half-long hair and a solemn face. He was also covered with a long robe. He looked like an aristocrat from the shogunate era.

Sasaki coughed: "Hello, I'm Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of Boy Jump. This is Koji Yoshida, the deputy editor. I contacted you before and visited you today."

This young man is the younger brother of a branch of the field, he nodded: "Master Nanase is waiting for you, please follow me."

He let the two of them in. There are two worlds inside and outside the door. If the outside is a modern society with a lot of traffic, the door is the distant and peaceful era of Fengya. A group of people walk on the long corridor, and the corridor is a quiet and peaceful garden. , the spring water is gurgling and flowing, and sometimes a tail of red rain jumps out of the water, spitting out a few wisps of clear spring. Walking in such a courtyard, my heart calms down, and all the speculations and predictions of Sasaki and Yoshida Koji before they came are gone. Fei, being able to build such an elegant courtyard in the urban area is not something that ordinary people can do.

Brush pull.

The young man in front opened the paper door, walked in and sat down to salute: "Master Nanase, the guests have arrived."

Ms. Nanase nodded: "Please come in."

Opening the paper door, the wind blows in from the other side of the room. Sasaki and Yoshida Koji didn't hear the tinkling of wind chimes on the opposite porch until they entered the room.

Opposite is also the corridor, the paper door is wide open, through which you can clearly see a field of white sand, with rocks standing in it, and a lady is sitting in the room looking at them.

Sasaki quickly bowed: "It's our first meeting, Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of Boy Jump, this is Koji Yoshida, please forgive me for interrupting you rashly."

Yoshida Koji also followed suit: "This is Yoshida Koji, the deputy editor of Boy Jump."

"I'm Nanase." Nanase said lightly, "Please sit down."

Sasaki sat across from Nanase, due to the atmosphere and environment, both of them were sitting upright, and subconsciously straightened their bodies, trying to make themselves... well, not ashamed.

Ms. Nanase didn't speak, she just waved her hand, and soon someone came over with a tea tray to serve tea.

Sasaki and Yoshida Koji became more nervous. Is this a tea ceremony exchange?Oh my god, I should have checked the relevant information before I came here!

Fortunately, the majestic lady in front of her didn't have this plan, she was just serving tea. The tea soup was already brewed and served in a bamboo hat the size of a child's fist.

Sasaki picked up the teacup with a stiff face, and shivered subconsciously after seeing the teacup clearly, this... looks like Tang Wu Tianmu?It is not clear which one it is, that is to say, the teacup he is holding is an antique from the ancient Tang Dynasty?

If his wrist broke with such a flick... Sasaki couldn't imagine it anymore.

He took a sip cautiously, and immediately put it down quickly, he didn't drink out the taste of the tea soup at all.

He took a deep breath and said what he came for.

"A few days ago, our editorial department received a submission. The submission address is here. The author said in the manuscript that he hopes to become a cartoonist. We also talked on the phone before, and the other party asked us to come and have an interview with him. I don't know..."

Ms. Nanase was holding the teacup. Instead of drinking directly, she slowly stroked the delicate porcelain surface of the teacup in her hand. The maroon kimono hung down, and the bottom of the skirt turned black, embroidered with vermilion cherry blossoms and waves. The sleeves were hanging straight down, shaking slightly with the stroking.

She is as elegant and reserved as a royal lady, with a smile on her face, but there is no smile in her eyes. She spoke for a long time, her tone was calm, but her words were contemptuous and sharp: "I wonder if you can let me have a look at the manuscript? My young masters But I don’t have the time to paint such childish things.”

Yoshida Koji was stunned for a moment, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something when he opened his mouth, Sasaki hurriedly tugged his subordinate's sleeve secretly, motioning him to shut up.

He said: "Of course it is possible, but what is the relationship between you and the author?"

"I am too old to be able to handle all the affairs of my family." Ms. Nanase reached out and took a few manuscripts handed over by Sasaki. She looked at it, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. Well, it is indeed a drawing by Emiyagawa, but compared to Those magical arrays with mysterious symbols, the cartoon characters look much more handsome.

Nanase put the manuscript aside, clapped her hands, and soon someone came in with the manuscript and left.

She said: "Please wait a moment, both of you."

Sasaki was taken aback: "This..."

Nanase smiled: "Dangjia and Master Chuan will come over later, so please be calm. Speaking of which, don't you know any rigid rules and benefits for your company's comic serialization?"

After confirming the authenticity of the matter, Nanase instinctively began to say something.

After Sasaki didn't say a few words, he felt exhausted.

He smiled wryly in his heart, this time he was really careless.

"Manga?" Dechang Jingsi looked at the manuscript Nanase sent over, and smiled lightly: "Are you really planning to become a manga artist?"

Xia Chuanyu said: "This is more suitable and convenient for you and me."

Zhang Jingsi's heart moved, he looked at the boy, and remembered the previous task of intercepting Ma Canghao.

Xia Chuanyu said calmly: "I want to do certain things, which may cause some troubles to the field, but if I do it in my own name, it will be fine."

Chang Jingsi put down the manuscript, and he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Emiya Chuan-kun, you have been here for a year, are you planning to leave?"

Xia Chuanyu sneered: "How is it possible? My custody is in your hands, and my father entrusted it to you. Why should I leave?"

He pointed to the manuscript: "If I really want to leave, I don't need to use my real name."

Zhang Jingsi's expression at this moment was very unpredictable.

"Are you trying to completely separate your identity?"

Xia Chuanyu said: "Yes, Wei Gongchuan is a small and powerful magician who aspires to become a cartoonist, and at the same time he is restrained by the field. I think this identity will make you feel at ease in all aspects, and it is also very convenient for you and me."

Zhang Jingsi smiled lowly: "Then what is it actually?"

"Actually..." Xia Chuanyu looked at Chang Jingsi: "It is undeniable that you protected me and Shirou after the death of my adoptive father, so if you are inconvenient to do some things, you can leave them to me, and I can do them too." Of course, I can promise that I will not intentionally damage the interests of Chang Yi, if I accidentally get involved... then I can't help it."

Zhang Jingsi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes not covered by the talisman gleamed with a stinging light, and after a while he said: "With your words, I can assume that you don't plan to revive the Wei Gong family?"

Otherwise, why would you want to take shelter of Yu's Chang Yimen?

Xia Chuanyu smirked: "If my father wanted to carry forward the Wei Gong family, he would not be called a magician killer."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care about the glory and prestige of his family, but only cared about whether he could use magic to achieve his goals.

Emiya Kiritsugu's goal is to be a partner of justice, and Natsukawa Yu's goal...

First of all, let yourself live comfortably, and secondly, find your way home. If you find it, you can wait if you can’t find it. Anyway, he believes that Uchiha Shinichi and the people in his hometown are more anxious than himself.

In the end, if you meet a friend you can talk to, you'll get drunk and get stabbed, and the rest... nothing.

Zhang Jingsi smiled: "I understand."

Different people have different ways of using it, and Zhang Jingsi, as the head of the exorcist's family, knows this well.

"Since you like it, go for it."

The author has something to say: Sasaki Sho: The editor-in-chief of Bangman Wangli, it is said that there is also a prototype character in reality, he is a responsible, capable, and decisive editor-in-chief with a bald head.
