1983 Past Life Manga King

“It’s like a computer game played by the gods. Didn’t most of you know?”

“There is something else that really matters.”

“what is that?”

“If the map is revealed, Jack’s secret will be revealed as well.”

“uh? Really? That’s Machine Gun Jack’s most important story.”

“Yeah. It’s the real purpose of the trip.”

“Is that something you’ll find out when you light up the map?”

“I will.”

“How did you know that? Did you find the hint that Sunny was hiding again?”

“no.”

“then?”

“When I went to Korea a while ago, I took a peek.”

“Look, what?”

“Sunny’s sketch.”

Come to think of it, I remembered that Lee Seon-hee was holding a notebook at her wedding.

“What did you see then?”

“I don’t know if it’s a blueprint, but anyway, the map made of bizarre geometric patterns and Jack had the same shape.”

“Really?”

Bugs in the game (2)

Kido had a surprised expression on his face.

Then he shook his head again.

“Isn’t a map a map? But it’s a blueprint.”

“Since that map is a game place for the gods, I am expecting it to be some kind of computer program. To be honest, the pattern was similar to that of the board.”

“Board?”

“Yeah. It’s inside the electronics.”

At that, Kido scratched his head.

“Hmm, I guess I’m an old man, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“I’m the same age as you, but you say something like a grandfather.”

“You’re different because you specialize in science fiction. I don’t know people who draw traditional cartoons like me.”

At Kido’s words, Nishida’s expression turned into an absurd expression.

“What kind of ukiyo-e does Kido-sensei draw? What is traditional manga?”

“Well, the era of dramatists like me is coming to an end.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m too. Because the pure-spirited psychedelic manga is no longer popular.”

“The little boy is still not eaten. There is Saint Seiya.”

“Ah, it’s different because it’s a hot-blooded thing covered in a genuine painting.”

After saying that, Nishida stopped suddenly and immediately tilted his head.

“Why?”

“When I say it, somehow, it’s like a manga that combines the story of Mr. Kido and my drawings.”

Upon hearing that, Kido rolled his eyes and smiled.

“I heard it and that’s it.”

“Still, I wish the story of the true identity was delayed a bit.”

“Why? Do you think it will end?”

“Yeah.”

“If you’re that worried, call and ask for a long manga series.”

“Is that so?”

“uh? You seem serious.”

“I’m serious right now.”

“Then call me.”

At those words, Nishida’s expression distorted.

“If that’s possible, why am I worried?”

“·················ogue.”

* * *

After listening to Kido talking on the phone for a while, she asked with a puzzled expression.

“Are you Nishida-sensei?”

-okay. Because that friend is really serious right now. Would you have called me if I was in a hurry?

I can’t rest on my own, so it’s to the point that it interferes with my manuscript work.

“Is that so?”

– Oh, don’t talk. They said that Jack’s true identity will be revealed soon, but Otake, the person in charge, seems to be very worried because the manuscript work did not proceed properly.

According to Kido, it looks like he saw Seon-hee’s sketch drawing at the wedding, but it’s a great analysis to reason up to that point just from that alone.

If it were me, I would never have guessed like that.

More than that, I can’t draw comics at all for fear of the end of Machine Gun Jack, which is a bit more serious.

Kido asked again.

-Is the manga ending soon as Nishida said?

It’s a blunt voice, but it’s full of worries.

“It’s true that Jack’s identity is revealed, but that doesn’t end there.”

– Really?

“uh. We’ll move on to a new episode. So I don’t have any plans to finish it for a while.”

Kido let out a sigh at my words.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

– Yeah, that’s it. Now he won’t come to our studio and cry anymore.

Hearing his voice saying that he was happy, he smiled.

He usually seems to eat and eat like that, but he seems to be friendly with Nishida.

Well, I have a friend like that here too.

Saying that, he looked at Daebong Lee and Silver in turn.

Then they both look at me with puzzled eyes.

– Then I’ll call you again. stay well healthy.

“Oh, yes. Say hello to my brother-in-law on my behalf.”

– Yeah, I got it.

After finishing the call with Kido, Lee Dae-bong approached me with a curious face.

“Worried about the end of Machine Gun Jack?”

“It says so.”

“Aren’t you curious about dragon soup?”

Silver giggled at those words.

“Dreams are crazy. Why are you curious about dragon soup?”

Then, Daebong Lee opened his axe’s eyes and glared at him with silver.

“If it’s fun, you might be curious. And how popular is dragon soup these days?”

“Aren’t those yangban cartoons popular? Rather better than you.”

“You feel the creator….”

“I know. Enough for now.”

In response to Silver’s answer, Daebong Lee slapped himself on the head.

“Oh, I forgot. The Star of Warda.”

“Things like this, whatever I say with my mouth, they are more popular than your cartoons.”

When Silver raised his chin up and spoke, Daebong Lee said with a sad expression on his face.

“······Damn it. That’s because he helped. That is a foul.”

“Then why don’t you ask for help?”

“You can’t reach out to someone in the same industry. different from you.”

“Pride?”

“Well, that’s it.”

“Isn’t that the most common excuse losers make?”

“A loser? Have you finished talking now?”

Silver just smiled at those words.

with a victor’s face.

“Don’t make that face. it’s annoying.”

Even after that, Silver continued to laugh.

“Oh, my stomach is bursting!”

Angry, Daebong Lee patted his chest like a gorilla.

After seeing those two people, I immediately looked at the continuity drawn by Seon-hee.

As expected by Nishida, the continuation begins with the scene where Jack discovers his true identity.

His prediction was correct that it had to do with the map.

Actually, Jack was part of the map.

They were born with the creation of the map, but there was a bug in the map, so it was eventually decided to be discarded. Naturally, when the map disappeared, Jack would also disappear.

However, in the process of being discarded, it fell into the human world with one arm lost due to an error, and the machine gun took the place of the missing arm.

Of course, he lost his memory of his past.

Jack learns of such a past, but he’s not as shocked as he thinks it is.

“I was expecting that I wasn’t a normal human being.”

It was Jack’s words.

The hi-taker said to him like that.

“You must fight the one who made you. Are you okay?”

“Even if you made me, you cannot be called a parent. It was just a toy made for fun.”

“I see.”

“Now I am human. If you threaten humans, you have no choice but to fight.”

Joke made an impression at Jack’s words.

“What is it, Jack, you are weird.”

“It’s strange. What do you mean?”

“Since when did you become so just? Is this the Jack I knew?”

“·················ogue.”

“Just do what you normally do. All you have to do is say you don’t like them.”

Mong interrupted Joke’s words.

“The cause is also important. Besides, it’s not cool if you just say it like you said, Joke.”

This time, Pas also opened her mouth.

“no wonder······. It felt a little awkward.”

“right?”

Jack opened his eyes and looked at the three people who were talking like that.

And then he took a deep breath.

“okay. Well, they’re unlucky and I don’t like them.”

“right. You have to say it like a jackass.”

“Because it is.”

“Give me a dog, for some reason!”

Mong raised his hand and shouted, and Jack laughed, revealing his teeth.

“Of course!”

Seeing them like that, the hi-taker clicked his tongue.

“For the first time, I had doubts about my thoughts.”

At that, Jack asked with a puzzled expression.

“Do you have any doubts about your thoughts? What do you think?”

“Are you really the person I was looking for?”

“Is that a bug?”

“It’s not just a bug. Secret code… Well, what happened.”

“···········?”

“Anyway, you guys aren’t even young anymore.”

Saying so, he handed out a small note to each of them.

“What is this?”

The hi-taker smiled at Jack’s question.

“Put it on your forehead?”

“What?”

“Put it on your forehead.”

“·················ogue.”

Jack put on a bewildered expression, but the hi-taker just smiled.

Then, without any doubt, Mong stuck the paper to his forehead. Then the paper emitted light and suddenly disappeared.

But at that moment, Mong’s attire changed.

His original work clothes were changed to a more sophisticated look.

“uh? Is it the magic that makes clothes look better?”

At Mong’s words, the hi-techer shouted.

“What! Your powers have risen!”

“Are your abilities up?”

Mong, who had a puzzled expression on his face, immediately looked at Jack’s machine gun and widened his eyes.

“uh? Was the machine gun I built with all my heart so lax?”

He immediately realized that his abilities had risen, and he said so.

Then, Joke and Fass also reflexively attached the paper to their foreheads. Likewise, their outfits have changed, and their abilities have increased.

Finally, Jack stuck a piece of paper to his forehead.

Not only did Jack change his outfit, but the shape of his machine gun also changed.

“It’s the perfect machine gun!”
