A middle school cartoonist

Let’s not mention for the moment what kind of ferocious brain augmentation skills Uncle Tintin is performing on the side...

"It seems you didn't understand..." Looking at the confused Mashiro girl, Takahashi Makoto's [pleasure] became more obvious. He looked at the other party with interest and asked again in an expectant tone, "So, girl Yo, serializing comics and becoming a cartoonist...are they the most important things to you now?"

As if feeling the aura of bad taste that was rampant in Makoto Takahashi, Uncle Tintin trembled all over, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he turned his head away. You don't need to look at what is about to happen next to know... But the only thing that makes Uncle Tintin curious is that this How will Makoto Takahashi [please] this boy and girl who have stepped into tragedy without knowing it yet!

"Well, that's it!" The Mashiro girl didn't realize that the disaster was coming, but said in a firm tone... Should we say that this is the nature of being stupid? Or should we praise people who are determined and can't be dealt with by just questioning?

"In that case, according to the rules of [equivalent exchange]..." Makoto Takahashi looked at the boy named Sorata sympathetically, showed a [joyful] smile, and said slowly in a devilish voice, "Then Girl, if I told you that the price for you to serialize your manga and become a manga artist is to leave Sorata Shounen... what would your choice be?"

"No!" The young boy in the sky retorted subconsciously. After noticing the strange looks from everyone, he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Uncle, are you kidding me?" ? Why is it that I have to leave Mashiro? Whether the manga can be serialized has nothing to do with whether I am with Mashiro, right? "

"Oh? Boy, your current appearance is exactly the same as those little animals that are about to be abandoned! That pitiful look... tsk tsk tsk, it really makes me feel more [pleased]!" Looking at Sorata The boy reacted a little too much, so Takahashi Makoto pulled out the [Devil Sword] very quickly and put it on the opponent's neck. He narrowed his eyes and said in a [joyful] tone, "But now... please calm down for a while! After all, You and the girl are not at the stage where you can make decisions for each other, right? What’s more, the person who is going to make the choice this time is the Mashiro girl over there!”

"..." Turning a blind eye to everything around her, the Mashiro girl fell into a mysterious state of silence...

"Remember the [equivalent exchange] in the comic "Metal Steel", right? Edward lost his right hand in exchange for Al, brothers, brothers, brothers... As beings of equal price to brothers, they are his own brothers!" Takahashi Makoto didn't pay attention to the unpredictable Sorata boy. Instead, he turned his head to the Mashiro girl who was still in a state of silent thinking, and slowly talked about seemingly unrelated things, "So... the current situation It’s the same! For you, a girl, which one is more important, the manga and the manga artist, or the boy Sorata?”

"Both!" Mashiro said a surprising answer... and it was also an answer that made Sorata boy look happy!

"Hey! Is this really the answer? But girl, this time the situation is a bit special... what if you are destined to only be able to choose one of them?" Makoto Takahashi seemed not surprised by the Mashiro girl's answer, and left it helplessly. He curled his lips, still maintaining a [joyful] smile on his face, "You must know that things in the world are always not as expected. Although the [Choose One from Two] mode is a bit cruel, it is considered to be better than [Choose One from More]. The industry has a conscience... You can’t be too kind!”

"I want to draw comics... I want to be a manga artist..." Mashiro girl stared at Makoto Takahashi without giving up, her tone filled with unshakable determination, "I also want to be with Sorata!"

"Hey, uncle, what you're doing is too cruel, isn't it?" Even though the [Devil Sword] was placed on his neck, the Sorata boy showed quite courage... Yes, at least at this time the Sorata boy , and dared to roar loudly at Makoto Takahashi, "Why do you have to force Mashiro in this way? Why do you have to force Mashiro to make a choice?"

"Young man, do you... want to try to die for once?" Makoto Takahashi squinted his eyes and said very dangerous words in a joking tone...

"Eh? This..." The courage that Sorata boy had just generated was instantly shattered by the cold touch on his neck...

"I say Acheng, that's about it, right?" Uncle Ding Ding on the side seemed a little unable to bear it, and finally couldn't help but said, "Although I vaguely guessed that this is your teaching method, I always feel that... the method is a little bit... It’s over!”

"Hey! Tintin Gi-san, why do you interrupt this [pleasurable] game?" Makoto Takahashi took off the [Magic Sword] and began to complain with a face filled with resentment, "This makes me [pleasant] The scene...it is obviously very rare to have such an opportunity..."

"Ah, I knew it was like this!" After seeing Makoto Takahashi's performance, Uncle Tintin put his hand on his forehead helplessly, "That's about it, right? I think if you continue to play, you'll get this The two children brought psychological shadow..."

"Tsk, psychological shadow or something... don't use such vulgar words to describe it!" It seems that he is quite dissatisfied with what Uncle Ding Ding said. Takahashi Makoto curled his lips in disdain, "That is what my Phoenix Inner Kyouma has always pursued... If possible, I think it is better to describe it as [truth]!"

"Tsk, what kind of bad taste is this..."

"Eh? What's going on..." The young boy Sorata was a little confused. He touched his neck that had just touched the [Demon Sword] and was a little confused. "Just now, was that... a joke?"

"Girl, do you remember the feeling of asking you to make [choose one of two]?" Takahashi Makoto ignored the confused boy Sorata and said to the girl Mashiro, " Choose a cartoonist, or choose Sorata, or be greedy and want to do both... Use your brush to record everything you think at that time, and then show it through comics! "

"What happened just now?" A gleam flashed in Mashiro's eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked uncertainly, "All?"

"Well! When you show everything that happened today, no matter how big or small, in comics... the missing and hidden plots in your comics will also be filled in!" Takahashi Makoto stood up and pulled his white coat, and bowed slightly to the boy and girl in front of him, "Excuse me! Today's [Demon King·Phoenix Inner Kyoushin-style teaching] ends here... I'm sorry for not entertaining you enough!"
