A middle school cartoonist

"Oh no! This damn content is..." A certain uncle who was specially invited by Makoto Takahashi and came here to observe the manga manuscript had a complicated look on his face after reading the manga manuscript... Under the gaze of Makoto Takahashi, the expression on the uncle's face went through various complex changes, and finally settled on an expression called [a bitter smile that makes me laugh and cry] as the comic manuscript was put down, "I said, The male protagonist of this comic...could he be based on me?"

"Although it's very close to the truth, I'm sorry Yoshitsune...the prototype of the protagonist of the manga is not yours!" Makoto Takahashi turned around and pulled out a set of "The Tale of Genji" with gorgeous packaging from the bookshelf, and looked at the face in front of him. The black line's Jisang said, "The inspiration mainly comes from Mr. Light Genji... Well, Jisang's role in it is also very important. Otherwise, I would not have specially invited Jisang to observe before the comic series started. explain!"

"Eh? Is that so? By the way, why do I always feel that you deliberately showed me the comic in advance because you actually wanted to take the opportunity to observe my expression when I saw the comic?" A certain Jisang sighed helplessly. He stared at Makoto Takahashi with pitiful eyes, with an expression on his face saying "I'm about to get screwed by you", and begged without tears, "Please, under the crown of the fierce demon god of the Phoenix Academy, through torture, This is a disgusting behavior that creates pleasure for others... Can you stop including me as an experimental observation subject? Your Majesty, your subordinates don't claim to have "three thousand imperial toys waiting to be broken". , Isn’t Mr. Yoshida still alive and kicking? Besides, my life is miserable enough. Why don’t you give some thought to me, who is also a father?”

"Life is miserable? Isn't it just the double combo of [Xidangpa] plus [Tauren]? If just this level makes you Jisang despair, it only means that Jisang you are too cowardly, right? And... ..." Makoto Takahashi said as he picked up the manga manuscript on the table, with a look of contempt on his face, "Yoshisan, you are a bottomless supporter of the [Light Genji Project], you have the right to call yourself [Father] 】This sacred and great title? "

"I should be the one who said this, right? You, the guy who will become Akizuki Kozo in [Million Evolution], are not qualified to say that to me!" A certain Yoshi-san retorted to Takahashi Makoto with the same contempt. !

"Ah, I knew it would be like this..." Although Yoshida wanted to force himself to calm down and observe the manga manuscript at this moment, and ignore the two people who were mocking each other, the problem was that he was in such a noisy environment. , Yoshida said that he couldn’t concentrate on reading the manga manuscript at all! "I say you two... stop it for a while! This is not the time to discuss..."

"Oh? My beloved cat, you, a guy destined to live alone, are you qualified to join the conversation?" Before Yoshida could finish speaking, Takahashi Makoto interrupted Yoshida with a vicious curse!

"Yes, yes, the topic we are talking about is about child development... ahem, no, it is about children's future education. Mr. Yoshida, you, a guy who still needs [independent power generation] every day, can't face it..." Do you still have any shame in trying to join our conversation?" Although he and Takahashi Makoto had been in a state of ridicule for various reasons before, a certain uncle who had a "consistent external view" also stopped talking about it. Takahashi Makoto mocked and changed the target to Yoshida who rashly intervened in the conversation!

"You, you guys..." When facing Makoto Takahashi, Yoshida was at the disadvantage of being completely suppressed. Now that there is an uncle with a second-level middle school degree [not as good as it is, but not far away], Yoshida is in a miserable situation. As you can imagine... However, Yoshida did not give up because of this. Instead, he started to use the magical skill of [Changing the Topic] on a certain uncle! "By the way, I came to Acheng to discuss the new comic series for the monthly magazine. Mr. Jing Zhonghao, the purpose of your coming here today is probably not just because you were invited by Acheng to observe the comic manuscript, right?"

"Of course not... Damn it! Because I was busy arguing with the Phoenix Academy's fierce crown prince about the child's future upbringing model, I almost forgot the purpose of coming here today!" Jing Zhonghao Jisang quickly turned around after Yoshida's prompts. Looking at Makoto Takahashi, he directly stated his purpose without the slightest hesitation or concealment, "I said that the Phoenix Academy's fierce crown prince, regarding the monthly serialized comic "CLANNAD", I guess it is almost finished, right? So what about the game? there……"

"Tsk! Sure enough, like a certain four-eyed fox, you are also planning how to use "CLANNAD"?" Makoto Takahashi didn't care about the information he revealed, "But since you have said so, Ji-san, I will too Deliberately making things difficult... You should be very clear about the rules, Jisang, right?"

"Well, of course!" Jing Zhonghao Jisang first showed a hearty smile, then suddenly stood up, clasped his hands together to make a pious look, suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously, "According to the [Future Showdown Plan] 】The rules, this victory...is lost!"

"Hey! Although it sounds completely insincere... But let's agree with your attitude Jisang for the time being! After all, compared to that guy with four eyes, Jisang's generous attitude can indeed slightly improve [Cooperative Allies] 】"Takahashi Cheng curled his lips in displeasure, "Then, the next step is naturally..."

"Is it really an exchange of equal value again?" Jing Zhonghao Jisang, who looked pious just now, now smiled bitterly and scratched his head in confusion, "So this time, what is the price I have to pay? ?”

"Let me think about it first..." Takahashi Makoto looked sideways at Yoshida, who was pretending to read the comics seriously but was actually eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with his ears erect. He pinched his chin and comforted Jing Zhonghao Ji-san, "You are a real man! After my cat observes the comics, I will naturally tell Ji-san the price you need to pay! Hey, my cat, this comic is a bit too much, so you can spend a year to observe it carefully!"

"Uh, a year..." Hearing Takahashi Makoto deliberately raise the tone of the word "carefully", and then looking down at the nearly fifty pages of comics in his hand, Yoshida's mouth twitched slightly...

"Mr. Yoshida, please don't be anxious, just observe slowly according to the requirements of His Majesty Houhouin Kyouma..." Jing Zhonghao Ji-san, who knew Takahashi Makoto's character well, did not make any excessive demands on Yoshida, but followed Takahashi Makoto's point of view and let Yoshida observe the comics slowly... Although Jing Zhonghao Ji-san was right to say so, Yoshida felt the pressure doubled!

Although Yoshida now said that he could calm down and observe the comic manuscript carefully without the interference of the two people's mutual ridicule... But the problem is that a person of the same age as him stared at him motionlessly with the eager eyes of a little dog; the other one looked at him with the eyes of "My cat, if you finish reading it in half an hour, I will kill you", whether it was Takahashi Makoto or Jing Zhonghao, both of them kept giving him hints through their eyes!

In this case, Yoshida said that it was really difficult for him to concentrate on the comic manuscript in his hand... But Yoshida is Yoshida. As the editor-in-chief of a certain middle school cartoonist, he has been bullied by a certain middle school cartoonist for many years, and has also honed some special skills! For example, flipping through the comic manuscript under someone's ridicule...

For this comic without a name on the cover, Yoshida is full of expectations! Although Takahashi Makoto once vowed that this would be a healing comic, Yoshida still suffered from insomnia for a week because of worry... However, when Yoshida really got the comic manuscript and started to observe, he was really relieved!

The plot of the comic begins at a funeral!

The middle-aged man named Kawachi Daikichi in the comic does not have the handsome appearance of ordinary comics, but is full of a strong uncle atmosphere. However, the development of the comic plot is driven by this middle-aged man... Just by reading the beginning, Yoshida can be sure that this man named Kawachi Daikichi is the protagonist of this comic!

Daikichi came to attend his grandfather's funeral, but he met a little girl named Lu Helin at the funeral! At first, Kawachi Daikichi thought that this little girl was the child of a relative, but later he learned from the family's gossip that this little girl named Lu Helin was actually his grandfather's illegitimate daughter. According to the generation, she is actually his elder!

However, because of her origin, this little Lolita was regarded as a witness to the family scandal. She was subconsciously avoided by the relatives who were organizing her grandfather's funeral. No one was willing to look at her, let alone communicate with her. During the entire funeral, the little Lolita was like a small flower standing in the shade of the corner of the courtyard, abandoned by the hurried sight of relatives, and could only bloom stubbornly alone...

When the relatives said goodbye to the body of Grandpa Daji, the little Lolita picked a bunch of wind chimes from outside and gently placed it on the body... The relatives whispered and accused the little Lolita of not knowing etiquette and dirtying the house, but Daji could feel that the little Lolita had always lived in the care of her grandfather!

Because wind bells were the flowers that Grandpa Daji loved the most when he was alive...

After the funeral of Grandpa Daji, when discussing the fate of the little girl, the relatives were full of disgust for the little girl and were afraid that they would be burdened by taking care of the child, so they were unwilling to accept her and even planned to send her to an institution for foster care...Faced with the selfish disputes and hypocritical excuses of the relatives, Daji, who felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility, decided to raise the little girl Lu Helin alone!

Although Daji was strongly opposed by the whole family after making this decision, they could not resist the stubborn Daji, and finally had no choice but to let the single and unmarried Daji raise the little girl Lu Helin...

Yoshida put down the comic manuscript in his hand, looked up at Jingzhong Haoji who was playing [silent stare] with Takahashi Makoto over there, and vaguely guessed the reason why Takahashi Makoto wanted to serialize this comic!

As for Jing Zhonghao Ji-san, Yoshida once heard Takahashi Makoto say that after his wife gave birth to someone else's child, she abandoned the child and eloped with that person, but Jing Zhonghao Ji-san raised a child who had nothing to do with him by himself, saying that "the child is innocent no matter what!" Rather than saying that this is somewhat similar to Daikichi in the comics, it is better to say that...

"I say, Mr. Yoshida, why are you looking at me with that look?" Jing Zhonghao Ji-san was a little puzzled by Yoshida's weird eyes, "I shouldn't interfere with your discussion of comics, right?"

"No, I just feel... Alas!" Yoshida suddenly sighed inexplicably, and patted Jing Zhonghao Ji-san's shoulder hard as if to comfort him...

Although he has not finished reading the comic manuscript in his hand, Yoshida can now be sure... Just as Takahashi Makoto said, this is indeed a healing comic!
