A middle school cartoonist

Although a certain second-grade cartoonist repeatedly emphasized the principle of "equivalent exchange" and kept hinting to his good friends Acheng Mumeng such as "Those who trade with the devil will not end well"... But after listening to Yacheng Mumeng After the request from Ye, a pair of good friends, Takahashi Makoto didn't even think about it at all, and unexpectedly agreed readily!

So after hanging up the phone, the good friends Yacheng Mu Mengye looked at each other...

"Speaking of which, Cheng... just agreed?" It should have been something worth celebrating, but Lan Dai said it was quite untrue! After all, Takahashi Makoto’s positive and cooperative attitude… is really weird!

"How should I put it... I feel that all the entanglements we had before, now that I think about it, are completely useless!" The man with yellow hair and glasses said he was quite depressed, and his eyes when looking at his good friend became full of guilt... If only earlier If you know that a certain chuuni manga will be so cooperative, is there any need to dwell on it for a long time and even be prepared to betray your good gay friend?

"Could we have heard wrong? After all, in my impression, that guy Acheng is not only full of evil, but also has a bad taste that can be called a [ghost beast]..." It's not that he has delusions of being persecuted. , it’s not like he suddenly awakened the attribute of [divine feelings]... A certain painter who has matured a lot since marrying his voice actor sister, his way of thinking has gradually lost the radicalness and energy unique to teenagers, and has begun to have the characteristics unique to adults. [concerned] thinking! "Imagine it carefully, I always feel that Acheng, who agreed to cooperate with us so easily, is secretly planning something famous... Ah, I suddenly have an ominous premonition!"

"How about... let's confirm with Cheng again?" The yellow-haired glasses man pushed up his glasses and proposed to his good friend... No, this is more than just a suggestion, right?

Mr. Huangmao Glasses, the word "Calling" on your mobile phone is displayed... The reason why you ask a good friend is not to ask for advice, but just to inform the other party!

"...Oh, I feel extremely heartbroken!" Makoto Takahashi received the second call from his good gay friend Ya Cheng Mu Mengye, and after listening to the explanations of two suspicious gay friends who seemed to be suffering from "persecution delusion" Finally, he sighed in a very helpless and melancholy tone, "...Do you just not believe me? Do you think I am such a crazy existence in your eyes? What about the trust between people?"

"...Uh... Cheng, I'm sorry!" Yacheng Mumengye's good friends looked at each other... Maybe an honest apology at this time is the best choice!

Makoto Takahashi launched his special move [True·Heart-killing Three Questions] against his good friend Ya Cheng Mu Mengye. Visual inspection... the effect was outstanding!

"There is no [360-degree backflip earth-turning seat], there is no [breaking clothes and committing seppuku at the slightest disagreement], and there is no [fallen angel maid outfit], not even these..." Makoto Takahashi on the other side of the phone , a sincere apology from a good gay friend group, of course... I did not choose to forgive! "Hmph! Yacheng Mu Mengye is a good gay group, your apology seems to me to be completely without sincerity!"

Hey, Makoto Takahashi, what the hell are you talking about? It has nothing to do with whether the apology is sincere or not...

Although Ajou and Mu Mengye wanted to complain like this at the moment, but considering the possible price to pay - that is, after being crazily tortured by a second-level cartoonist with extraordinary force value, the two of them still very wisely adopted [cover their mouths] 】This artificial sealing method is used to suppress the [true power of vomiting] in the body that is about to go berserk!

"But since you have provided me with some new ways to play, I will forgive you mercifully this time!" Makoto Takahashi suddenly changed the subject and let out a [joyful] laugh on the other side of the phone. "And as a friendly reminder, Acheng Mu Mengye, I will remind you again...recall the fear of being publicly executed with all kinds of humiliation when you were regarded as the protagonist!"

After finishing speaking, Takahashi Makoto decisively cut off the call, leaving Ajou Mumenha in silence feeling annoyed...

"Hey, Qiu Ren... this time... we were wrong..." For a long time, Lan Dai's classmate smiled bitterly, his eyes full of guilt and regret, and sighed to his good friend!

"Indeed, tops, we...really did something quite bad and quite excessive this time!" The yellow-haired glasses man also had a wry smile on his face that was almost the same as his good friend...

Ajomu Mengye is not worried about the revenge of a certain middle-class cartoonist, because this pattern of [hurting each other through mutual damage] usually only appears among friends... However, Ajou Mumenha had previously When I made a request to Makoto Takahashi, he did not treat a certain middle-class cartoonist as a friend, but as an object of exchange of interests!

We need your help, so we make a request to you, and we will naturally pay the corresponding price... If we don't need to pay the price, we will suspect that you are just perfunctory in agreeing to us!

Treat Takahashi Makoto as an object of exchange of interests instead of a friend... That's what Ajou Mumenha thinks, and that's exactly what he did!

You need my help, so I promise you that this has nothing to do with profit, even if you will be blamed for it in the future and cursed by readers... because you and I are reading as [competitors] and writing as [partners and colleagues]. ah!

Treat Ajou Mumenha as a friend instead of an object of exchange of interests... Takahashi Makoto has done this from beginning to end!

When I was young, I always thought that the world revolved around me, that the earth would not be able to rotate without itself, and that the universe would explode without itself... Although this statement sounds rebellious, but I have to admit that human beings When I was young, I always had such thoughts and even did some exaggerated things!

Who has never been frivolous in their youth... Although these will become a shameful black history that they don't want to mention in the future, more often than not, when humans remember the past, they will always sigh with envy rather than shyness!

However, after experiencing the baptism of society and the experience of the sinister human heart, the way of thinking in youth will gradually be eroded by the chaotic society and the filthy human heart. There will no longer be hatred for no reason, let alone love for no reason... In adulthood... In the human world, everything revolves around the core called [interest]!

That’s right, as long as [equivalent exchange] between interests can be met, the so-called [love] and [hatred] can all be subverted!

When doing something, there is no need, or even no need to consider the possibility of success. There is only one thing that needs to be considered...whether the interests of everyone involved in this matter can be satisfied!

For example, if something is successful and can satisfy the interests of most people, then no matter how difficult it is and how difficult it is, there will always be people driven by [interest] to continue to provide help and convenience; otherwise , if the greedy appetite of human beings cannot be satisfied, then even a simple little thing will encounter various obstacles and various unexpected difficulties in the process of completion...

First, satisfy the interests of others, then satisfy your own interests, and finally achieve your own goals... Think twice before acting in this order. This is the so-called "concerned" thinking in the adult world!

So...society is so frighteningly simple, and the world is so pure and frightening!

"Hey, the best, although now we are also popular cartoonists in the weekly "Shounen Jumk"..." The yellow-haired glasses man suddenly broke the deadlock, "But the strange thing is that I should be happy, but I am not as happy as I am. At the beginning... I was as happy as when I learned that our comics could be serialized..."

"...I'm the same way!" Lan Dai was curled up on the sofa, his eyes wandering, "...Maybe this is the price of our success!"

"Tsk, Supreme, your thoughts are just like Cheng..." The moment the words came out, the man with yellow-haired glasses realized something was wrong... After all, after what happened just now, everything related to a certain middle-class cartoonist , are all so-called [taboos]!

Sure enough, the atmosphere of silence spread again among the good friends...

"Hey, Qiu Ren, let's wait until the comic "Soul of Chess" is over, then we can apologize properly to Cheng!" The person who broke the silence this time was Lan Dai's classmate, "Rather than spend time worrying about these things now , it’s better to seriously think about the follow-up plot of "Soul of Chess"..."

"Huh? Gao Gao, you..." Gao Gao is now in a state where he seems to have given up on himself. Can he really draw comics of the same level as before... Looking at the abnormal behavior of his good friend, the man with yellow hair and glasses couldn't help but worry secretly!

"As friends, as competitors..."

You may make mistakes in life, you may be confused, but...

"The only thing we can do now is one thing..."

Know how to make amends after making a mistake, and be able to move on after being confused...

"...That means trying your best to draw the best manga!"

This is real life!
