A middle school cartoonist

Everyone’s understanding of [pleasure] is different…or rather, it’s uncertain!

Just like the philosophy explained in the phrase "How will you know you are not gay if you have never tried a man?" Before you can truly choose to find entertainment that can make your body and soul feel excited and happy, Qian Don’t flatter yourself that you know the so-called “pleasure”!

Because anything that happens randomly around you may open up a treasure house called "pleasure", and you will be addicted to it and unable to extricate yourself from it!

Although Makoto Takahashi just said it casually, Yoshida, who knew a certain middle-class manga artist quite well, still had a very bad feeling... But at this time, it was already too late to stop him, so he comforted him with just a few words. Makoto Takahashi, who is such a good little sea otter, did not forget to give Yoshida a very suggestive look as a warning in the middle!

It's almost like "Dare to disturb this king's pleasure... That's an unforgivable crime even if he commits seppuku ten thousand times, miscellaneous cultivator!" 】Such information...

After understanding the message conveyed by Takahashi Makoto's eyes, Yoshida twitched helplessly. After sighing silently, he sat beside him like an old monk in meditation... It should be said that he was not an editor who had worked together for many years and had a good tacit understanding. With the cartoonist?

Although they are sitting face to face, compared to the little sea otter who is sitting upright and kneeling, Takahashi Makoto's sitting posture is much more casual... If you follow the principle of "the elder is superior to the younger", which is often regarded by some experts as standing on the moral high ground. In terms of stepping stones, someone as lazy and disrespectful to their elders as a middle-school cartoonist will definitely be dragged out and dipped in a pig cage and then cut into pieces!

As the [big brother], Makoto Takahashi stopped painting and entered the sage...ah, it's time to rest!

After observing the leader's leading behavior, Mashiro Girl and Uncle Tintin put down their paintbrushes in unison, planning to take a good rest while Takahashi taught the little sea otter "How to Find Pleasure"... After all, they wanted to complete high-quality work To write a comic draft, you naturally have to focus all your attention on the comic draft, and this process of concentration needs to last for a long time!

When you do anything, as long as you persist long enough, you will create amazing miracles... or in other words, works that can be compared to the hands of God!

For example, as mentioned in the comic "One Punch Man" before, Teacher Saitama has insisted on training his body for a long time! It is precisely because Teacher Saitama persisted in that seemingly ridiculous and simple training method for three full years without interruption that he gained the power to save the world... Of course, the baldness is just incidental!

Another example is when creating a human being. Only by persisting a few times can one create a life that even alchemy cannot create... Ahem, to be honest, the common skill of human beings when creating human beings [One shot into the soul] actually starts from From a scientific point of view, in reality it is definitely an event of low probability. Only in novels or comics, because of the bonus of [plot halo], can this skill greatly increase the probability of success!

Because of persistence, there is a masterpiece!

"Is it because I don't want to draw that I insist on drawing!?" Listening to this contradictory [evil way] statement, the little sea otter looked at a certain middle school cartoonist with a confused expression, and asked cautiously and hopefully. , "Then Lord Phoenix Academy Fierce True God, may I ask what the meaning of this is..."

"No, it makes no sense at all... Hey, little sea otter, don't make such a scary expression! I've just told you many times, I didn't mean to tease you!" All the time Makoto Takahashi, who treated Yoshida as his servant, raised the goblet in his hand and signaled his editor to pour the red wine. Then he stared at the confused little sea otter and gave an unknown [joyful] smile, " Little sea otter, think about it carefully... why, little sea otter, have you never noticed this meaningless problem, but instead explored it as a matter of course? Don't you think this matter itself is worth thinking about? "

Acheng is like a legendary devil when it comes to using words to capture people's hearts... Should I say that he is overdoing it, or should he say that it is natural?

Seeing Makoto Takahashi, who had completely taken over the initiative and the direction of the topic after just communicating with the little sea otter for a moment, Yoshida felt both admiration and worry for a certain middle-grade cartoonist...

"Then what should I do...Please give me some advice, Lord Phoenix Academy Fierce God!" Little Sea Otter, the so-called [Toshita Seat] should not be used here at this time!

"If it were my beloved cat who made such a contradictory statement to you, then little sea otter, you would immediately realize that this is an unquestionable statement, and you would even directly ignore this contradictory request, right?" Strength mocked. Takahashi Makoto, who was adding salt, glanced at Yoshida, whose mouth was twitching, and continued the previous topic with the little sea otter with great interest, "But after the person who made this contradictory statement became me, little sea otter, don't you think this is A meaningless request, but a little expectation and even careful thinking! Thinking about a meaningless thing in vain... Little sea otter, this is a genuine [pleasure] for you! "

"...Pleasure? Lord Phoenix Courtyard Fierce God, is this the [pleasure] you keep mentioning?" The little sea otter said that he couldn't understand it at all!

"Of course!"

"But I haven't experienced the feeling of [pleasure] at all!" After hearing the explanation given by Makoto Takahashi, the little sea otter thought for a moment and shook his head firmly, "Ever since I was deceived by the Yoshida family , after embarking on the endless dark path of a cartoonist, there is absolutely nothing that can feel "pleasurable" in my life! Conceiving plots, drawing comic manuscripts, serializing new comics, and continuing to serialize them after they are completed. ...As life accumulates, all I feel every day is the endless comics drafts, which is a process of accumulating pain and suffering...For me, if I can end the serialization early, or even end my identity as a cartoonist, Perhaps this kind of act that is close to redemption is the real [pleasure]!”

"Hey, little sea otter... why is your definition of [pleasure] so narrow?" Regarding the little sea otter who suddenly started to feel sorry for himself, Takahashi Makoto sighed helplessly, "With my previous meaningless proposal, Likewise, pain and so on are actually not inconsistent with [pleasure]... The so-called [pleasure] does not stipulate a specific form. It is really because you cannot understand this that you, little sea otter, fall into it. In confusion!”

"Pain...pleasure..." The little sea otter kept repeating two words as if possessed. After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, he muttered to himself in a low voice as if he was dreaming, "What I felt before...is actually It is not pain...but pleasure, the pleasure brought by pain..."

"Little sea otter, congratulations, you finally found the right way to find [pleasure]!" Makoto Takahashi applauded the little sea otter without hesitation, "The so-called [pleasure] is actually an emotion based on pain. …Don’t try to deny it, because it is determined by the root of human inferiority! If you deny this theory, you are denying the fact that you are a human being!”

"That's it... that's it... I understand a little bit..." The little sea otter started to cheer like a child who got chocolate, "It's precisely because I don't want to draw that I insist on drawing... Lord Phoenix Academy Fierce God The reason why I put forward this contradictory statement is that I want to feel the so-called "pleasure" in the midst of pain!"

"Ah, it seems that you have really understood it, little sea otter!" Makoto Takahashi squinted his eyes and nodded, "As for the specific method, I won't tell you, little sea otter... In short, about finding [pleasure] The way you like it is fine!”

"The way I like...well, I will do it!" The little sea otter thought for a moment as if he had some enlightenment, and then turned to look at a certain editor who was playing a role in the whole process, "Yoshida, after I go back, I will definitely I will draw comics seriously!”

Damn it!

This is not scientific at all!

Who can tell me why Hiramaru-kun, who originally possessed the [Sloth] attribute, suddenly became enthusiastic! ? ?

Hiramaru-kun, who has always been too lazy to draw manga manuscripts, actually came up with the idea "I want to work hard" after communicating with Makoto Takahashi...

Hiramaru-kun, are you brainwashed?

He must have been brainwashed!

…

"Build [pleasure] on pain...generate pleasure by savoring the pain of others..." Looking at the little sea otter who was in a good mood and walked away briskly, and Yoshida who followed behind with a confused look on his face, Uncle Tintin, who was also a bystander, finally couldn't help but speak out, and lamented to a certain second-grade cartoonist who instigated the little sea otter to go astray, "Ah, Cheng, your thoughts are always full of troubles as always. The terrifying [demonic nature] and [evilness]!”

"Eh? Tintin Gi-san, don't say that... I just taught the little sea otter how to find [pleasure]!" Makoto Takahashi spread his hands and looked innocent, "Let the world be filled with love. and peace, so that human beings can find [pleasure] that is satisfied with themselves. This...maybe this is my mission in this world!"

"Hey, hey, Cheng, how dare you say that!" Hearing Takahashi Makoto say such shameless words without changing his expression, Uncle Ding Ding's mouth twitched, and he wisely chose to change the subject... before continuing. If so, Uncle Tintin feels that he is likely to become the next little sea otter! "By the way, what will Hiramaru-sensei do..."

"Dingdingji-san, do you want to ask the little sea otter how to obtain [pleasure]?" Makoto Takahashi showed a complex look of nostalgia and resentment on his face, "The comic that the little sea otter is serializing now is "Hunter"... …If I’m not mistaken…it should be that one!”

"That...means?" Not to mention Uncle Tintin, even Mashiro girl and Sorata boy who were playing [Feeding Play] on the side pricked up their ears and listened carefully...

"It is said that [spoilers] will lead to misfortune or even death..." This should be regarded as...a tactful rejection, right?

"White coat, stingy!" The white girl muttered, then turned her attention back to the Baumkuchen...

"Tsk!" Uncle Tintin and the young boy Sorata only dared to smack their lips in dissatisfaction... After all, not everyone can face the arrogant cartoonist Phoenix Academy Murderer like the Mashiro girl!

"If the little sea otter really chooses that method in order to obtain [pleasure]..." Makoto Takahashi imagined a certain scene, a curious expression appeared on his face, "Is this the restraint of the world's will? , or is it the corrective power generated by readers’ resentment...or is this the choice of Steins;Gate?”

"Well...just let me wait and see!"
