A middle school cartoonist

"Huh? What did you say, Cheng!?" Yoshida, who was originally sitting on a chair in the editor's headquarters, immediately jumped up from his seat after hearing the request of a second-year cartoonist on the phone and ignored it. Colleagues around him looked at him curiously, and in a tone full of amazement, they repeatedly confirmed to Takahashi Makoto on the other side of the phone, "Cheng, are you sure what you said... Hello! Hello? Phew! That chuunibyou cartoonist actually hangs up. My phone!"

"Hey, familiar cat Yoshida-san, is your master calling you again?" Yujiro didn't notice Yoshida's face and asked in a joking tone... No, even if Yujiro noticed Yoshida's face, Yujiro might also Use this tone to tease your colleagues! ?

"If you don't do something, you won't die...Yujiro, why don't you understand!?" After Yoshida said angrily, he grabbed Yuujiro's arm and made a pose of "I will kill you even if I die" dragged into hell] with a gloomy expression, "I'm still worried about what Cheng asked me to do just now... It just so happens that if you have Yuujiro together, I should be able to succeed!"

"Hey, hey, Yoshida-san, are you taking me there..."

"You'll know when you get there..."

Under the gazes of their colleagues, the two most powerful editors on the editorial side of the weekly magazine left the office area holding hands like good friends...

"Uh..." Looking at the door number of the office in front of him, Yujiro immediately stopped Yoshida from knocking on the door, and then quickly pulled Yoshida to the reception room aside, clasped his hands and said, "Yoshida-san, if you are still worried about If you were angry about what happened just now, I apologize! So...there is no need to come to the editor-in-chief for that kind of thing, right?"

"Yujiro, it's too late to apologize now!" Although he noticed that Yuujiro seemed to have misunderstood something, Yoshida did not immediately expose it and explain... rather, he continued to mislead Yujiro! "Human beings always like to go further and further down the road of seeking death. Only when they are truly facing death will they regret everything they have done... So Yuujiro, it's useless to talk more!"

"Yoshida-san, I've already apologized, what else do you want!?" After Yoshida knocked on the editor-in-chief's office door, even though he begged for mercy to no avail, Yujiro was still making the final struggle, "I'll wait for you at worst. Invite you to dinner..."

"Yujiro, do you think that I, like you, can just throw away a meal!?" Regarding Yujiro's answer, Yoshida, the editor-in-chief of a certain weekly magazine, and a certain middle-level cartoonist under his command, were very excited. Enjoy the [pleasure] brought by the other person's pleading! "Not to mention that inviting someone to dinner requires at least three visits to the thatched cottage... Ahem, in short, the reason why I brought you to see the editor-in-chief is of course because it has something to do with you!"

"Is it related to me?" Yujiro expressed doubts about Yoshida's answer...

"To be precise, it has something to do with Mr. Eiji Niizuma!" Because he recalled what a middle-class manga artist said on the phone just now, Yoshida's originally very [pleasant] mood could no longer be maintained at this moment... So, [ Yoshida in dark-bellied and poisonous mode appears! "Because the next chapter of Cheng's manga "Steins Gate" can also be said to be the final serialization, some things need to be involved in the next serialization of the manga by Eiji Niizuma, so naturally, as the editor-in-chief, you Regarding... Mr. Yujiro, the editor-in-chief who only has the level of [mortal wisdom], can you understand my explanation?"

"Huh? The comic "Steins Gate" will end in the next chapter?" After suddenly learning this explosive news from Yoshida's mouth, Yujiro was a little unbelievable, but looking at Yoshida's serious expression, Yujiro realized that the other party seemed Not lying...but that's exactly what happened, here comes the problem! "Wait! By the way, why does the manga draft of the final episode of the manga "Steins;Gate" involve Shinzuma-kun's next manga series?"

"Yujiro, do you want to know?" Yoshida raised his eyebrows and directly opened the door of the editor-in-chief's office, "Then let's come in together! This matter... is no longer something that our editor-in-chief can solve! "

…

"This is basically the situation..." Yoshida, who had clearly analyzed the ins and outs of the incident, looked at the editor-in-chief of the bottle whose expression had not changed at all, and then looked at the person next to him with an expression of "I will not accept or approve of this kind of behavior" Yujiro, after pondering for a moment, asked softly, "Editor-in-Chief, may I ask what's next..."

"How could such a thing be allowed!?" Although speaking before the editor-in-chief has spoken is considered a very transgressive act... But Yujiro no longer cares! "In order to satisfy the serialization of the last chapter of the manga "Steins;Gate", I chose to have the two cartoonists Shinzuma-kun and Hiramaru-sensei suspend the serialization of the manga for one issue... Yoshida-san, how do you think the editor-in-chief could agree to such a thing! ?”

"So, I am also very helpless!" As the person who was accused by his colleagues, Yoshida spread his hands in understanding and said in a helpless tone, "I also think this kind of thing is ridiculous... but the actual situation is, comics The content of the last chapter of "Steins Gate" far exceeds the number of normal serialized comic manuscripts... If calculated based on the standard number of pages, it is probably close to three chapters! "

"So what!? In order to allow the content of the last chapter of the manga "Steins;Gate" to be serialized normally, Yoshida-san, you actually agreed with the cartoonist's ridiculous opinion of [taking over other cartoonists for serialization]!?" Yujiro said in a tone of voice He became a little excited. If he hadn't been in the editor-in-chief's office, perhaps this effeminate-looking editor-in-chief of the weekly would have grabbed Yoshida's collar with both hands and entered the "Roaring Accountability" mode while speaking. ? "Let's not talk about what a selfish act this is...why did the mangaka Shoin Kouma choose to occupy the serials of Shinzuma-kun and Hiramaru-kun, instead of others?"

"Yujiro, you should actually know some information, right?" Yoshida explained helplessly, "Teacher Eiji Niizuma and Acheng are [allies]; as for Hiramaru-kun, he always obeys Acheng's words. ...When that guy has an excuse not to serialize, he will naturally agree!"

"Hiramaru-sensei will agree... Well, that makes sense!" Recalling a comic in a recent weekly magazine that readers both love and hate, Yuujiro calmed down his anger slightly and patted Yoshida on the shoulder sympathetically. , "But what Shinzuma-kun says... It is absolutely impossible to agree to Shinzuma-kun's words!"

"Yujiro, in fact, Mr. Eiji Shinzuma has already agreed!" Yoshida's face suddenly became serious, and he bowed deeply to the editor-in-chief of the bottle, and said in a sincere tone, "So, editor-in-chief, please promise Acheng this very special Unreasonable request!”

"Reason?" The face of the editor-in-chief of the bottle did not change at all, he just asked indifferently... He is indeed the boss of the editorial side of the weekly! ?

"Ever since Cheng debuted, I have been accompanying him as the editor-in-chief to this day..." Yoshida looked a little dazed... At this time, Yoshida must be recalling every detail of his time with a certain middle-class cartoonist! "Now Cheng has said that the comic "Steins Gate" will be his last comic...so...so, as the editor-in-chief, I plead with you, the editor-in-chief, and hope that you will satisfy Cheng's request. The last unreasonable and willful request!”

"...Is it impossible to persuade anymore?" After a long silence, the editor-in-chief of Bottle asked quietly...

"Yes, Cheng's determination is very firm!" Yoshida bowed to the bottle editor again, "So... I beg you, editor-in-chief!"
