A middle school cartoonist

Just as Makoto Takahashi said, the plot contents of the third chapters of several new serials published in this weekly are quite brutal!

The results of the third chapter of the comic "One Punch Man" are just as predicted by Makoto Takahashi, and they are not very good! Although compared to those comics that are on the verge of being cut in half, ranking seventh this time is considered a good result... But it fell directly from the second position to seventh place. Such a significant drop in ranking is still Make Yoshida a little depressed!

"Sure enough... this is the result!" Looking at the results from the reader survey, Yoshida muttered with some reluctance, "Although I had been mentally prepared before... but when I actually faced it, it was still a little hard to accept. !”

"The third episode of Shin-Tsuma-kun this time has also dropped to sixth place..." The one with the same depressed tone as Yoshida was naturally the silver-haired brother Fukuda and the editor-in-chief of Shin-Tsuma Eiji, Yujiro! The editor-in-chief, who had frequent exchanges with Yoshida on the editorial side, was holding the statistics sheet of the reader survey tightly, and his face no longer had the confident look of the past. "The most regrettable thing this time is probably Fukuda. Is it Jun’s third chapter? It’s rare that Fukuda-kun is very serious and hardworking this time, and even boldly changed the comic plot into a fantasy genre, but the result is only ranked fifth... But he was able to achieve such a result after his sudden transformation. In a sense, this transformation of comics can be considered a success!”

"Hmm, both the comics by Mr. Kouma from the Phoenix Institute and the comics by Mr. Eiji Shinzuma look quite interesting. The reason why the score of the third chapter dropped this time is probably to foreshadow the plot arrangements in the future, right? Haha !” Editor Hattori, who put down the reader survey sheet, also joined in the conversation, “And what surprises me is that this time the comic "JOJO" is actually a hot-blooded fantasy comic, and the fifth place is also achieved! Quite good...Boldly trying to break through the style you are good at is really in line with Mr. Fukuda’s style!”

"..." Yoshida put down the reader survey score sheet in his hand and stared at his colleague Hattori who intervened in the conversation with a smile, and remained silent...

"..." Yujiro also behaved similarly to Yoshida...

Speaking of Yoshida and Yujiro, who usually hurt each other with complaints when they disagree, your synchronicity rate is incredible now... Should we say that you two deserve to be the co-editors of the manga artist [Shinkai Makoto]?

"Hey, hey, Yujiro-san, I heard that the third episode of "Soul of the Game" this time succeeded in taking the first place..." What do you mean I heard... On the reader survey sheet in your hand, Yoshida, isn't it written Is it very clear?

"Yes, yes, Yoshida-san, I heard that the third episode of "Assassination" suddenly jumped to the second place..." Although Yuujiro was smiling, there was resentment in his tone... etc. ! By the way, Yuujiro, what the hell is that black energy lingering behind you! ?

"This... this time it's just that the comics of Ajou Mumeng-kun and Shizuka-kun are a bit exciting..." Sensing that his two colleagues seemed to have thorns in their words, Hattori's editor became more careful when speaking, and even I don’t dare to use my favorite catchphrase anymore... After all, to a certain extent, the power of ridicule of the ending catchphrase like [haha] is really too strong!

"Noble editors, please respect yourself!" Yoshida made a sharp complaint using vocabulary that was difficult for Hattori editors to understand!

"Capitalist editor, please silence me!" Yujiro, who instantly understood the meaning of Yoshida's complaint, also performed a magical last-ditch attack!

"Aristocratic...Capitalistic...Editor? Me?" Editor Hattori looked at his two colleagues with some confusion, pointed at himself and asked, "Although I can feel your resentment...but these words don't seem to be the same. Very suitable to describe me, right?”

Because a certain trajectory series has not appeared in this world, the [demon title] of a certain Keshu bandit leader has naturally not been widely spread... Editor Hattori will naturally not know the malice contained in these two modified titles. , after all, Editor Hattori does not have as much contact with a certain middle-class cartoonist as his two colleagues!

"Hey, Yoshida, Yujiro, and the monopoly editor... finish your work before chatting!" After years of practice, the editor-in-chief of Bottle finally inherited and understood the secret of the former editor-in-chief Sasaki [must-kill light glasses], and recommended The movements of the glasses were full of powerful intimidation, "Especially Yoshida, please keep an eye on Mr. Hiramaru's manga manuscript!"

"Hey! Leave Hiramaru-kun to me, editor-in-chief!" Yoshida showed a sinister smile... It can be predicted that the little sea otter will live a very miserable life in the next period of time!

"I, I will go to Eiji Arizuma to collect the manga manuscript of "Railgun"..." Seeing the editor-in-chief of Bottle turn his attention from Yoshida to himself, Yujiro immediately made a prediction in advance quite consciously, He picked up the phone, shook it, and stammered an explanation to the editor-in-chief of the bottle, "It seems...it seems that the monthly magazine has started to push for manuscripts..."

"Even the editor-in-chief..." Although Editor Hattori was not [named], as for the previous title of Editor-in-Chief of Bottle... Editor Hattori, as an uncle, why don't you go to the smoking area and smoke quietly for a while?

Yoshida, who had just left the office and walked out of the building, saw a middle-grade cartoonist wearing a white coat, standing at the gate and having a mysterious phone call with an unknown being...

"As expected, there is a barrier at the gathering place... Real man! It's just a barrier of [Dispersion of Idle People], how can it stop the arrogant Demon God of Phoenix Academy? Are you looking down on me, miscellaneous cultivator! "

"..."

Speaking of which, shouldn't Takahashi Makoto be staying at home and working hard to complete the manga draft at this time? Yoshida's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to look at his watch. He was extremely surprised that Takahashi Makoto would appear in front of him at this time!

"I said Acheng..."

"Tsk...yes, the minions of the organization discovered it!" After hearing Yoshida's call, Takahashi Makoto turned around and saw a surprised Yoshida. A helpless look immediately appeared on his face, and he covered it with his hands. He spoke into the phone in a low voice just enough for Yoshida to hear, "If I don't contact you after half an hour, it means that I am no longer in this world... If it is true If something like this happens, please help me take care of Rin and the witch after the world is destroyed... Huh? Seiji? I will send that guy to another world to perform the [Devil King's Awakening] ritual before leaving this world... Yeah, that’s it! ELPSYCONGROO!”

"...Are you talking to people from other dimensions again?" Yoshida walked up to Takahashi Makoto, patted Takahashi Makoto's shoulder and asked, "I say Cheng, can you explain why you appeared at this time? Where are you?"

"Shh!" Makoto Takahashi gestured to Yoshida to be silent, then looked around vigilantly, and then whispered, "The Witch's recent behavior has been a bit abnormal, and her mind has been disturbed by visual inspection... I suspect that this matter is [mysterious] Side] The other side is instigating from behind, so..."

"I understand..." Looking at Makoto Takahashi's solemn look, Yoshida, after a brief silence, covered his forehead, raised his head and sighed, "It seems that the cartoonist who completed the manga manuscript needs to be supervised. It’s not just Hiramaru-kun!”

"My beloved cat, you guy...don't you feel something abnormal in the flow of the earth's breath? These...may be the precursors of those guys on the [mysterious side] who want to conquer the world!"

"A-Cheng, you guy..." After feeling that the pedestrians around him started to watch and whisper, Yoshida could no longer care about the difference in force and prepared to forcefully evacuate with Makoto Takahashi... You know, this is the editor's side of the weekly magazine Base camp!

If you are surrounded by people because of a certain secondary comic book, you will definitely be ridiculed by your colleagues tomorrow... Don't underestimate the speed of news spreading in the era of the information explosion!

I can tease and ridicule my colleagues because I have the [Vicious Tongue] attribute! But as the target of ridicule, this is something Yoshida absolutely cannot tolerate... To a certain extent, people with such a bad character are all beings who appear to be S but actually belong to M but think they are S!

"Huh? This is..." Just when Yoshida was about to drag Takahashi Makoto away, Takahashi Makoto suddenly exclaimed, and then before Yoshida had time to react, he got the reader survey sheet that Yoshida accidentally exposed. Stat sheet! "The seventh one...?"

"Um, Cheng... I originally planned to tell you later..." Since Takahashi Cheng already knew in advance, Yoshida had nothing to hide. He spread his hands to Takahashi Cheng and sighed helplessly, "As you can see, the content score of the third episode has indeed dropped...but it doesn't matter, this is just an accidental phenomenon, so..."

"Huh? My beloved cat, do you think I will be hit by this and then fall into a depressed state, waiting for comfort from a stupid existence like you?" Makoto Takahashi interrupted unceremoniously. Yoshida's words showed a look of contempt and disgust on his face, "Huh! It's just a cat belonging to me, don't underestimate the arrogant manga artist Hohoin Ozhin-sama!"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to underestimate you, Cheng!" Having worked with Makoto Takahashi for many years as the editor-in-chief, Yoshida naturally knows that Makoto Takahashi has a strong heart, so of course such a small thing as the decline in comics performance is not a problem. It will not affect Makoto Takahashi... Therefore, the reason why Yoshida said this deliberately was to divert Makoto Takahashi's attention! "But Acheng, the content of the next chapter..."

"The comfort plan didn't succeed, and then the battle plan was immediately changed. Do you want to instigate me to fight for the first place? Huh, it's just the wisdom of my beloved cat!" Seeing Yoshida hesitate to speak, Takahashi Makoto naturally guessed Out of his thoughts as the editor in charge, he interrupted the other party's unfinished words angrily, "Although it is commendable to know how to use the situation to persuade, but my beloved cat, don't underestimate other existences!"

"Eh? Could it be that Cheng, you want to be like that in the third episode again?" Speaking of this matter, Yoshida instantly burst into resentment! "I don't care if Cheng is trying to maintain your awe and expectation for the [Unknown], or to satisfy your bad taste... Since you can guess the plots of other cartoonists' comics, let's come up with countermeasures! "

"Yada! Yada! Yada! If you really do that, you will lose a lot of fun...and my soul will gradually wither and fail due to lack of pleasure!"

It can make Yoshida ignore the gap in force and have the idea of ​​​​dividing the second-year manga artist in white coat in front of him into seventeen parts... This excuse of Makoto Takahashi should be said to be very good and powerful?

"But speaking of my cat, do you think the title of the next chapter should be [Protect the Earth] or [A Bald Man's Dream]?"

"Of course...eh?" Seeing Takahashi Makoto suddenly change the title of the next chapter of the comic "One Punch Man", Yoshida suddenly reacted after a moment of hesitation, and finally showed a meaningful smile on his face, "Acheng, it seems that I can now look forward to the results of the fourth chapter!"

"Tsk, why does this sound like some kind of flag? Speaking of my cat, please don't mess with me!" Takahashi Makoto, is this considered tsundere? "Although it is fun to fight in an upright manner, I will be very depressed if I always lose..."

"Then why are you still wasting time here? Go home and draw the fourth chapter of the comic draft, you bastard!"
