[Comprehensive] I really have a problem with my daily life

After reading the short manga of Shinwife Eiji, I finally understood why the editor Hattori said Shinwife-sensei’s work was almost the opposite of mine but very similar.

The protagonist of the new wife Yingji's painting is naturally an exorcist. Unlike my protagonist who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he is a real novice exorcist.He still has naive goodwill towards the world. Although he graduated from the exorcist school with good grades, he has never actually fought.As a result, the first task after leaving school made him confused by reality—he met a cunning monster full of lies, and because of his mistaken belief in the monster, people close to him were seriously injured.

This heavy blow made him fully aware of his own problems, and he seemed to grow up overnight, and he struck hard and mercilessly.

At the end of the ending, the innocent smile on the protagonist's face is no longer replaced by indifference.

[Sure enough, monsters are evil creatures. 】

This is the inner monologue of the protagonist on the last page.

After reading it, I let out a slow breath.

The editor Hattori said that I've improved... so did the new wife teacher.

The setting of this protagonist is almost the opposite of mine. One is a veteran and the other is a novice.

As for the similarities... that's because our stories are described in a similar way, with old routines that are familiar to us, the pictures are showy, and the protagonists are not the growth type of the JUMP series.

Especially the last page.

Mine is the protagonist walking towards me, smiling casually, with contempt for human beings in his heart.

In the story of the new wife Eiji, the protagonist turns his back and walks away. The final close-up of the face is a calm and dead silence, and his heart is full of hatred for demons.

Even though we didn't discuss it, there is such a synergy rate... You are indeed my old enemy, new wife!

I couldn't resist going forward and knocking on the door of the new wife's studio.

"New wife teacher! Have you read the manga?"

"Oh——I was thinking about when you will come, Mr. Iori." The new wife also just put down the manga in her hand, and praised in an excited tone, "As expected of Mr. Iori! Use the short space to focus on It shows the personal charm of the protagonist! The number of pages is not wasted at all! The battle scene has improved again, and the simple movements show a clean and handsome look!"

"Mr. New Wife..." I didn't expect to be slapped in the face as soon as I entered the door. After realizing it, I immediately followed up, "You are the one! The change of expression before and after this is shocking! Using this piece before and after the same scene The comparison is simply amazing!"

The new wife Eiji came up and held my hand: "I think it's great to be a fan of Iori-sensei!"

I held it back with a look of emotion, and shook it slightly: "What are you talking about! I am the one!"

"...cough cough, um, two teachers, please sit down." The editor of Hattori, who was ignored, coughed a few times and shook the paper on his hand, apparently because he was blown away by our business exchange. Living.

"Mr. Hattori, when will the results of the quick report be released?" I asked this sentence as soon as I sat down.

"Cough cough cough... this, it will be at least a week later, don't worry." Editor Hattori said in a good voice, "and there are other works on SQ that will participate in the ranking..."

"There is no need to worry about this." The new wife Eiji concluded straightforwardly, "I have seen other works, this issue will only be a competition between me and Iori-sensei."

Hattori Yujiro: "..."

I think we can see the complex emotions of "I can't answer what you said" from the face of our editor in charge.

"Then, new wife, who do you think is better between you and Iori-sensei?"

Speaking of this, I also looked at my new wife nervously, after all, this person's prediction has not been wrong so far...

"Well... that's hard to say. After all, in terms of quality, I think Mr. Iori's works can compete with me..." The new wife Eiji crossed her arms, tilted her head and closed her eyes for a while, then opened her eyes. Eyes, looked at me confidently and smiled, "But I won't lose!"

I was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, full of fighting spirit: "Me too!"

Editor Hattori looked at us with kind eyes.

"By the way, since Mr. Fukuda started serializing, he quit his job as an assistant, right?" I asked, "Mr. Xinwife, will you find a new assistant?"

"I think I'm coping with it, so I won't find a new assistant." The new wife Eiji took a sip of tea and sighed like an old man.

"Also..." I nodded in agreement.If I hadn't been a student, I probably wouldn't have thought about training assistants at the time.Because the new assistant needs to be adjusted in the early stage, it is very troublesome. You have to teach him a lot of things before you can use it after he gets used to it. If the understanding is not good, it will waste your time in the early stage.Of course, there are also non-serialized, professional manga assistants who specialize in assistants...By the way, this kind of manga is very expensive.

I think I'm also lucky. I just hired an obedient and willing to learn assistant from Lark, and he has good abilities.Although some important scenes still have to be done by me in order to ensure the quality, but some basic things don't require me to do repetitive work.

After chatting for a while, the new wife Eiji suddenly asked: "Iori-sensei, are Mister and Claude brothers?"

"Huh?" I was taken aback, but I didn't mind spoiling it, "Yeah, it's the setting of Gemini. There will be hints in this month's serialization."

"What—!? Gemini!?" The result was the editor Hattori who was shocked, "Wait, wait a minute, but a human and a demon..."

"So..." The new wife Eiji touched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and nodded seriously, "So... one of Mist and Claude is a half-demon... According to the plot and the foreshadowing above Say, it should be Mister, right?"

"You really deserve to be the new wife teacher!"

"Don't say any more!" Hattori editor covered his heart, "If Mist is a half-demon...ah...it is...but...it's ok...don't spoil me!"

Me: "..." Huh?So you are a fan of "Saving the World Today"?

After exchanging with my new wife, Eiji, our opinions and comments on the shortcomings of our respective comics, I returned to my studio contentedly.

The semi-devil chapter reached its climax after the Gemini identity was hinted at this month. It began to close the foreshadowing and lose the setting scene by scene, and finally ended with the gathering of the seven bosses of the demon clan as the end of the whole chapter.

Immediately following the Half-Magic Chapter is the Past Life Chapter.The following chapter is regarded as the protagonist show, which mainly shows the changes of the protagonist's character arc.It is necessary to show the main character's thoughts, character... and life experience.

The plot is slowly coming to a climax. According to the current situation, when I was in college, I should be able to enter the final chapter.

Looking at today's results... I think I can predict what kind of bloody storm will be caused by the new episode of "Ji's Private Salvation" on the 9th.

Ah——Suddenly I am so looking forward to it!Thinking of the reader's reaction makes me feel flattered!

But...what I didn't expect was...before I shocked the readers' hearts, I was shocked first.

It happened on Sunday night. That day I went back to my hometown in Kanagawa to take back the videotape of the Shonhoku basketball game that I had borrowed for Tetsuya and the others. It was already late when I was ready to go back.

"Hmm... 8 o'clock, if you walk over... um! You can catch up with the time! Steady!" I looked at the time on my watch, nodded, put on my backpack and walked towards the tram.But what I didn't expect was that I met Akashi and the others when I passed the gate of Lihai University.Seeing that Liu and Liusheng were also there, it was probably because some activities of the student union delayed the time.

Anyway... for now, quietly...

"Hinata! What are you doing standing there?"

"..." My wish to disappear quietly was broken. I turned my head slowly, looked at everyone calmly, and bowed awkwardly but politely, "Long time no see, everyone."

Alright Papa Liu, I remember you.

Akashi looked over with some surprise: "Hinata?"

"I'm here to play a video tape at home..." I touched my nose, turned my eyes away and did not dare to look directly at the other person, "I just happened to pass by, and now I am going to the station to catch the train back to Tokyo. You can do whatever you want, and leave me alone."

"The station... I'll see you off."

I was taken aback: "Huh? No need..."

Akashi smiled slightly: "Is it the videotapes I lent to Momoi for research last time? You helped us, so let me do this little thing...or is there any inconvenience?"

Me: "...No, no, I'm sorry to trouble you." What else can I say after you've finished talking?

It's only a ten-minute walk to the station.

I remained silent at the beginning, remembering what Tetsuya said about apologizing, and then summoned up my courage, and said slowly, "Uh... Akashi, I'm sorry about what happened last time..."

"Huh? Why apologize?"

I felt a little hard to say, and my voice became smaller and smaller: "It's, it's that hug thing..."

The red-haired boy's tone was gentle, no different from usual: "I should apologize. Sorry, it seems to have worried you."

Me: "..." You, what else can I say! ?I can't say I apologize for my Opie lecture!I still need face!

Now I fell into a silence that made me hesitate to speak.

"That! Akashi, I have something I want to ask you..." After holding back for a long time, I couldn't hold back, and decided to speak, my tone was full of entanglements, and I carefully prepared my words to pave the way, and said with random gestures, "First of all, I know that it is very possible that I am being sentimental, but I am a little confused. I always feel that there is something on my mind that I can't deal with with a natural attitude..."

The other party directly interrupted me, nodded frankly, and smiled slightly: "Well, I like you."

"...Huh?" I was stunned by the sudden rush to speak, my mind was a little confused, I raised my hand and made a stop gesture, and lowered my head in thought, "Wait a minute...huh?"

After a person seemed to be in a daze but was struggling with himself for about a minute, I came back to my senses and stammered and began to retort: ​​"But, but...you don't know! I, I actually have a bad temper Yes! Sometimes I am very capricious!"

After listening carefully, Akashi nodded, "Yes, I see. Is there anything else?"

"...Huh?" Do I need to continue?I was even more confused, and tried to find something to say, "Well...you may not know, I am very good as a friend. But as a girlfriend, I will ask a lot...It will become super troublesome! It is even worse than ordinary girls. Please trouble!"

Akashi thought for a while, restrained his smile, and put a bit of seriousness on his face: "Well, I will fully respond to your request."

"……"no!The point is not this!But this is so touching!I turned my gaze away, stayed quiet for a while, and looked at him, "I, I get jealous easily!"

The other party was startled, then raised the corners of his mouth, and replied in a gentle tone; "It's my honor to say that."

I started looking for something to say: "And... and... I can roll the quilt when I sleep!"

Akashi was in a daze for a little longer now, frowned slightly, and his tone was a little uncertain: "Uh...Although I think it's a bit early to say this...I will try my best not to let you take all the quilt away?"

"..." This is not some kind of brain teaser question and answer!I blushed from holding back, jumped a little on the spot, clenched my hands, a little flustered, "Anyway, anyway..."

"Hyuga Iori."

"In the!"

"All your problems can be summed up in one..." The red-haired boy lowered his eyes, let out a soft breath, and looked up at me, "Are you willing to associate with me?"
