A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 425 Who are you?

The hidden part of the final chapter of the comic "CLANNAD" is undoubtedly the part about "the girl who doesn't know the cold and the dumb robot in the silent world", that is, the fantasy world of Shio and the robot form of Tomoya Okazaki. Story... As Takahashi Makoto said to Uncle Tintin before, adding this part of the plot later is the core content of the final chapter of the comic "CLANNAD"!

Even though Yoshida felt emotionally like a slap in the face to a middle-aged cartoonist after learning the truth, his rationality stemming from animal instinct kept protesting and warning, reminding Yoshida all the time that once he did something, he would definitely He will be tortured to death by a middle-class cartoonist... Although he said that, judging from the expression on Yoshida's face when he left, the ending of the comic "CLANNAD" is still acceptable to the eye!

As for how Yoshida felt after completing the "Real Final Chapter" of the manga "CLANNAD", Makoto Takahashi did not ask... It's not just because Yoshida's "inner emotions have been fully expressed on his face" look is very good Interpretation, and more importantly, Makoto Takahashi has completed the entire comic "CLANNAD". If you are still struggling now, what's the use?

and……

If Yoshida really puts forward any constructive opinions or suggestions, Takahashi Makoto will definitely nod in agreement at the beginning, and at the same time, he will not forget to induce and encourage Yoshida to continue talking... Wait until Yoshida's mouth is dry. When speaking, Makoto Takahashi would smile and nod in agreement with Yoshida's various views, and then...then not make any modifications to the manga manuscript!

According to Makoto Takahashi's evil taste, this is probably the development model... right?

Although all the manga manuscripts of "CLANNAD" have been completed, this does not mean that they will be serialized immediately... After all, judging from the current serialization volume of the monthly magazine, it is estimated that it will take at least three months to actually start serializing the final chapter. after!

However, for the assistant side, now that the comic drafts of the comic "CLANNAD" have been completed, the assistant's work will not be as heavy as before in the following days... At least for the assistant side who is used to being busy. , after Makoto Takahashi announced that the "CLANNAD" manga manuscript had been completed, he felt a lot more relaxed indeed!

For example, Miss Aoi Ueno, because she no longer has to be as busy as before to complete manga manuscripts, she has a lot more time to play with Rin and Seiji; another example is that Uncle Tintin does not need to face a mountain of manga manuscripts, so he spends a lot of time every day Being able to go home early to practice as a "full-time dad"; for another example, Jing Hehe didn't need to be immersed in the processing of the "CLANNAD" comic manuscript, so he used the extra time to complete his own comics...

However, whether the comic manuscript of "CLANNAD" is completed or not does not seem to affect assistant Mayuri...

Although Takahashi Makoto was kind enough to share the work that Mayuri should have done alone among others, it didn't seem to improve Mayuri's busy work status much... so she kept immersing herself in completing the manga every day. Of all the assistants, Mayuri seems to be the only one!

"Huh? This is it?" After standing behind Mayuri and observing for a while, Takahashi Makoto let out a cry of surprise, and then before Mayuri could react, he quickly picked up the completed manga manuscript on the table!

"Um, Phoenix Academy Teacher..." Jinghe who was on the side seemed to notice the abnormality here. He immediately stood up and came to Mayuri's side. He apologized and began to explain to Takahashi Makoto, "Sorry! I asked Mayuri... …”

"Ruko, you asked Mayuri to complete your manga manuscript... I have known about this for a long time!" Do you want to understand why Takahashi Makoto knew? Please thank the universal butler Sebastian for the information provided by the peeping demon! "But this kind of thing doesn't matter... What really matters to me is something else!"

Although Shizukawa asked his assistant to complete a manga draft that he did not belong to, this kind of thing may be difficult for other cartoonists to accept, but Makoto Takahashi doesn't care! On the one hand, the comic draft of "CLANNAD" has been completely completed, and the only comic draft that still needs an assistant to complete is only the weekly serialization of "Dream Eater"; on the other hand... compared to working quietly all the time As for Mayuri who was finishing the manga, don't you think that Miss Aoi Ueno, who was playing with the children over there, was even more unprofessional?

Although Mayuri's behavior is unreasonable and not worthy of praise, but... people who have been working hard silently should not be criticized either!

"Hohoin-chan...is there something wrong with those manga manuscripts?" Although she realized that her behavior was inappropriate, compared to this... Mayuri was more worried about the manga manuscripts she had completed! Seeing Makoto Takahashi seriously observing the manga drafts he had completed, Mayuri continued to add very nervously and unconfidently, "Although Shizuka-chan said that the manga drafts completed by Mayuri were more effective than he expected. Even better... But Mayuri thinks this is Shizugawa-chan saying to comfort Mayuri! "

"No, this is definitely not comfort!" Jinghe looked at Mayuri's dejected look and immediately retorted, "Because I couldn't draw that scene well, so I just asked Mayuri for advice. You are just asking for advice... What I didn’t expect is..."

"Mayuri..." Makoto Takahashi, who had been silent since just now, put the manga manuscript in his hand on the table, turned around and picked up the magic sword leaning against the desk, looking at the nervous man with a wary expression. Mayuri said with a trembling voice, "The true identity of the legendary and extremely ferocious [Night Murderer] that has been reported in the news during this period... turns out to be you!"

"Killing people at night...eh?" Mayuri had never seen such news before. Although her reaction to things other than comics has always been half a beat slow, her reaction speed this time was much faster than usual. !

"Now that I've seen through it, stop trying to disguise it by creating the illusion of being [naturally stupid], Mayuri!" Makoto Takahashi slowly pulled out the magic sword and tilted his head as he looked at a formidable enemy. Mayuri looked like "I don't understand what you're talking about" and said passionately, "I've been waiting for you since I saw that news! Sa, show off your weapons and let's decide the outcome. Well, girl...no, it should be [Night Murderer]!"

"By the way...is there really that news?" Jinghe whispered to Uncle Tintin, who had started to enter the [Silent Observer] mode after noticing Takahashi Makoto's strange behavior before, "Although I don't insist on watching it every day News and so on... But in my memory, there seems to be no such thing as what the Phoenix Academy teacher just mentioned, right? "

"That kind of news is not mentioned at all!" Uncle Ding Ding rolled his eyes and replied in a low voice, "...This is nonsense! This is definitely the nonsense of Acheng! But speaking of Mr. Jinghe, what exactly happened just now What?"

"Just now? To be honest, I'm not very clear... Just now, the teacher from the Phoenix Academy read the manga manuscript that Mayuri helped me complete, and then..." Jinghe gently gestured with the famous hand gesture, and said with aggrieved face full of black lines, "Then... It’s become what it is now!”

"Comic manuscript..." Uncle Ding Ding looked at the comic manuscript on the table with some confusion, then turned to Jinghe and confirmed, "Hey, Mr. Jinghe, why is Cheng like this? Could it be because... you were stimulated by something in the comic manuscript?"

"It's not so much that I was stimulated... but it's better to say that through Ruuko's manga manuscript, I saw through Mayuri's disguise all along!" Before Shizukawa could answer, Takahashi Makoto, who was confronting Mayuri, suddenly spoke. To explain, "Dingdingjisang, regarding the screen in "Hell Transformation"...for someone your age, you should still have a weak memory, right?"

"The screen of "Hell Transformation"?" Uncle Tintin frowned and was silent for a moment, then asked Makoto Takahashi with some uncertainty, "Cheng, what you are talking about...could it be the one that was designed to paint a real hell scene? , and the story of the painter who watched his daughter being burned alive, right? But I remember it was just a novel..."

"It's not just novels! Everything that can be passed down and remembered by mankind is what happened in reality... Of course, because ordinary people like you cannot travel through the time and space barriers, so for the [truth] recorded in historical biographies, Being skeptical is understandable as a [Time Observer]!" Although Takahashi Makoto was talking to Uncle Tintin, most of his attention was still focused on Mayuri, "So , Based on the same principle... Mayuri who can draw the scene of murder and dismemberment so realistically and delicately, who are you...?"

Uncle Tintin did not interrupt rashly this time, but walked to Mayuri, picked up the comic manuscript on the table and looked through it... Because there were not many comic manuscripts that needed to be observed, Uncle Tintin finished reading it quickly! Unlike famous detectives who like to whet their appetites, Uncle Tintin carefully read the comic manuscript and neatly put it back on the table, and then...

"How should I put it..." Looking at Mayuri's innocent face, and thinking about the comic manuscript he just saw... Uncle Tintin scratched his head in confusion, and seemed to be able to understand Takahashi Makoto's feelings to some extent!

Mayuri, who has always been gentle and lovely, when depicting bloody scenes, it is not just the delicate depiction of the picture, but also the matching of the background, and even the scene of blood splattering when the character dies... That kind of expressiveness really makes the film more realistic. As a person who has been in the assistant industry for many years, I feel amazed and ashamed! Uncle Tintin asked himself, if he were responsible for completing these comic manuscripts, he would never be able to reach Mayuri's level!

"Hmph! So Tintin Gi-san, who do you think can draw such an extremely realistic scene..." Makoto Takahashi stared at the smiling Mayuri and said word by word, "In reality, Is it really a [natural idiot] like Mayuri, instead of a [murderer] who is active in the darkness and has harvested countless lives? "

When Mayuri was working on the previous manga draft, the level she showed was just that of an assistant. She only showed an extraordinary level in this manga, which can be explained by talent or something! But if we follow Makoto Takahashi's theory, then a certain middle-class cartoonist who has drawn many comics... shouldn't belong to the category of normal humans, right?

"Uh, this..." Ding Ding's eyes were a little erratic! However... Can you think that Uncle Ding Ding is courting death by stealing glances at Takahashi Makoto from time to time?

"Mayuri is Mayuri...Houhoin-chan's question is so strange!" Mayuri tilted her head, pouted and complained softly, and then an innocent smile appeared on her face again...

"It's Kyouma! It's Houhoin Kyouma!" Takahashi Makoto stared at Mayuri with anger and roared loudly, "I am the crazy cartoonist Houhoin Kyouma! Didn't I say it when you came here before, Mayuri?"

...By the way, Takahashi Makoto, weren't you still entangled in Mayuri's identity issue just now? Why are you jumping to your own title now?

Dear readers, I'm sorry to say that I came back almost a little after working last night. I don't know if some big guys will have a brain attack and call me back to work overtime today, so in order to prevent accidents last night, I will upload one chapter first.
