A middle school cartoonist

According to a certain middle-level cartoonist, the real meaning of a permanent vacation is to quit the cartoon world and stop drawing comics!

If it had been in the past, Yoshida might have thought that this was just a joke by a middle-class manga artist, but now... Although Takahashi Makoto still had the same smile on his face as usual, Yoshida knew that Takahashi Makoto was serious this time !

Because of that kind of look, Yoshida had seen it before... He had seen it in those cartoonists who gave up cartooning!

So... Yoshida did not ask Makoto Takahashi why he wanted to give up his career as a cartoonist, nor did he repeatedly confirm the authenticity of the news with Makoto Takahashi. Instead, he took the completed manga manuscript and left with a tangled expression!

It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but Yoshida's heart is already messy at this moment!

Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to persuade Takahashi Makoto... It's just that as the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine, Yoshida also knows that in this state, there is no guarantee that he can successfully persuade a middle-level cartoonist to give up or give up that seemingly joking decision!

"A-Cheng, you..." After Yoshida left, Uncle Tintin couldn't help but ask after hesitating for a moment, "Have you really decided not to draw comics anymore, and... have you decided to give up the career of a cartoonist? ”

"Tintingji-san, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Makoto Takahashi did not finish the manga while talking to Uncle Tintin. Instead, he stood up, walked to sit in front of Uncle Tintin, and said in a serious tone, "But what's slightly wrong is that I don't stop drawing comics, nor do I plan to end my career immediately...well, at least until I finish that comic!"

"That comic!?" At this time, Uncle Tintin, who should be struggling with his future after a middle-school cartoonist gave up his career, was keenly aware of the key words revealed in Takahashi Makoto's words, "It's from the comic "Fate" Follow up?"

"Follow-up?" Makoto Takahashi repeated the key words in Uncle Tintin's words. After staring at him with strange eyes for a moment, he slowly said, "Of course not... By the way, Tintin Ji-san, what do you think? It’s really superficial!”

"But according to the current plot rhythm of the comics, there are still many places in the comic "Fate" that have not been explained clearly..." Uncle Tintin stopped the analysis abruptly, and then stared at Makoto Takahashi with complicated eyes for a long time. Then he sighed in a rather helpless tone, "Speaking of Cheng... are you planning to dig holes and kill readers again like you did when you serialized the "Eastern" series?"

"I see... In your mind, Tintin Gi-san, I am actually that kind of person!" Uncle Tintin didn't even need to look at the expression of a middle-class cartoonist to feel the resentment emanating from him! "But Tintin Gi-san, don't worry! As a professional cartoonist with extremely high professionalism, how could I do such a crazy thing? I have already arranged the follow-up plot of the comic "Fate" There you have it, the heir with the [Crown] level!”

"A-Cheng, the successor you are talking about...is indeed Mr. Eiji Shinzuma, right?" Although he used a questioning tone, Uncle Ding Ding was very sure... After all, according to Uncle Ding Ding's knowledge, he can be compared with the person in front of him. The only manga artist who is very relatable in a white coat is Eiji Niizuma! "But Acheng..."

"Uncle Tintin, do you want to ask me why you didn't tell my companion cat about this matter?" Makoto Takahashi, who had been talking seriously just now, immediately changed into a look of contempt for [Mortal Wisdom], "The reason ...Of course it’s for [pleasure]!”

"Are you trying to get what you call [pleasure] by observing Yoshida-kun's anxious look?" Uncle Tintin's mouth twitched, and he expressed sympathy for a certain hard-working editor! "Tsk, this extremely twisted style... should I say it's what you did, Cheng?"

"It's not like that, Tintin Gi-san!" After hearing Uncle Tintin say it so simply, a middle school cartoonist said that he was not that superficial! "Although it is indeed interesting to see my beloved cats in a state of deep entanglement, and then running around with various toils in a depressed mood, but this low-level way of obtaining [pleasure]... Humph! Tintinji-san yo , it seems you don’t know anything about how to obtain [pleasure]!”

"That kind of extremely twisted thing... who the hell wants to know!" Uncle Tintin roared angrily, proving that he did not want to become a similar being with the same hobby as a middle-class cartoonist! "The news that the follow-up plot of the manga "Fate" will be in charge of Mr. Eiji Niizuma... If you don't tell Yoshida-kun, and Cheng, you just revealed your intention to retire, in the next period of time, that conscientious editor-in-chief will I will definitely come to my door frequently... Uh... So that's it! It turns out that this is the trap set by you, Cheng!"

"Sa, who knows?" Faced with Uncle Tintin's question, Makoto Takahashi spread his hands pretending to be innocent, "Although I find this unfolding of [human beings working hard without knowing their destiny] very touching... but Faced with the twists and turns of cruel fate in reality, whether humans choose to move forward firmly or choose to give up their obsessions, it is a very [pleasant] performance for me!”

"You get so-called [pleasure] by spying on the inner transformation of human beings, you, Cheng..." Should I be angry at this time? Uncle Ding Ding felt that he should be angry... But for the [serious and heretical] words and deeds of a certain chuunibaku cartoonist, Uncle Ding Ding did not know how to vent his anger and indignation through rebuttal! "... It's really bad enough!"

Perhaps the only thing Uncle Ding Ding can say at this moment... is this! ?

...

"Not good... The situation is quite bad!"

A certain editor-in-charge, who did not know that he had been calculated, kept repeating such words on the way back to the editorial headquarters, and completely ignored the eyes of the pedestrians around him who said [This guy is sick in the brain]... No, it should be said that he did not realize it at all!

The news that a certain chuunibaku cartoonist planned to retire... Yoshida felt that he should report this matter to the editor-in-chief Ping!

Originally, Yoshida didn't intend to do this, and wanted to do his best to persuade that weird-minded middle school manga artist... However, recalling the eye contact with a middle school manga artist just now, Yoshida knew at that moment that this was no longer something he could handle!

But if it was editor-in-chief Pingzi who persuaded... Yoshida, who didn't know what kind of brutal scene he imagined, suddenly changed his face and shuddered unconsciously!

"But now the comic "Fate" co-produced by Cheng and Eiji Nizuma has not been completed yet, there should still be a chance..." Yoshida saw the comic manuscript in his hand, his eyes lit up, and the fighting spirit in his heart suddenly burned, "That's right, I will try my best to persuade Cheng..."

"Well! I can definitely do it!"
