A middle school cartoonist

"The ranking of this issue of "CROW" has increased?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida in front of him. After learning the news, there was no too surprised expression on his face. Instead, he said in a matter-of-fact tone, "It seems that the manga animation After the news of the transformation came out, the comics will indeed enter a violent state! Hey, it’s really difficult to deal with! This is just the King of Black Flame. I really don’t know if he will be able to face God in the future..."

"Hiramaru-kun's "Sea Otter" has also been planned to be animated. It seems that the animation will be carried out soon!" When Yoshida mentioned the little sea otter, a happy smile appeared on his face, "In order to prevent him from being serialized. , to have the idea of ​​giving up, you need to take some extraordinary measures!”

"Oh? In that case..." Makoto Takahashi smiled the same as Yoshida when he heard what Yoshida said, "Let the little sea otter buy a luxury sports car! The method is very simple, just let him know that owning one A luxury sports car can increase your charm and make it easier to win the favor of the opposite sex! Of course, the price of the car... I don’t need to mention this!”

"Hehe... I know this!" Yoshida nodded in agreement and continued, "And since I bought a good car, I also need a villa with an underground garage! As a popular cartoonist, if you don't have a car and a villa , It doesn’t make sense, right? And if you have an independent villa, you can invite girls to your home. I don’t think Hiramaru-kun would object to this, right?”

"Well, it's true! And..." The smile on Takahashi Makoto's face became even weirder, "If the little sea otter doesn't have enough money, I can provide assistance! Well, in terms of interest, it only costs one cent of Soft Girl Coin on the first day. , two cents of soft sister coins will be required the next day, and it will be enough to increase by one cent every day!”

"Add one penny a day... this is really..." The corner of Yoshida's mouth twitched, and he looked at Makoto Takahashi with a look of horror, "If you do this, Mr. Hiramaru will be burdened with a huge debt! Cheng, you It’s so cruel!”

"But it's also for the little sea otter!" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida confidently, "After carrying a huge debt, the little sea otter shouldn't have the idea of ​​going on strike midway, right? If he wants to pay off the debt, he can only work hard to draw comics. Make money...just keep drawing like this, become His Majesty the Demon King's slave, and work until you die!"

"Hiramaru-kun shouldn't be so stupid to notice such a simple thing, right?" Yoshida secretly assessed the little sea otter's IQ, shook his head helplessly, and took the manga manuscript from Makoto Takahashi, "Then I have accepted the comic manuscript of this issue! By the way, your recent "Steel Refining" has been very popular among readers! Many people have called the editorial office and asked for "Steel Refining" to publish a supplement! , this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary cartoonists can enjoy!”

"Do you think I will be happy when you hear the news?" Makoto Takahashi glanced back at the kitchen secretly, looking at Yoshida with a pale face, "Would you like to stay for lunch? Princess Rina's cooking is my own. Familiar cats, enjoy the nightmare again!”

"I have to supervise the little sea otter in the afternoon!" Yoshida's face became a little ugly, and he immediately gave up the excuse that he was ready to run away, and quickly put the comic manuscript into his bag, "Then that's it, I'm leaving first!"

"Bang! Did you fail? It seems that the lethality last time was too powerful! My companion cat has already produced in the heart..." Looking at Yoshida running away, Takahashi Makoto complained helplessly, got up and left Arriving in the kitchen, Rina interrupted her act of using the Dark Noble Phantasm!

After the new issue of "Shounen Jumk" is released, as a serialized cartoonist, you have the right to receive a sample issue! Looking at this sample issue, Takahashi Makoto frowned a little, because in this issue of "Shounen Jumk", there was another reasoning comic called "The Reasoner Akechi Gosuke"! Compared with "Suspicious Detective", because the original author himself is a mystery novelist, the level of this mystery comic is very high, which also pushed the duo of Acheng Mu Mengye to the cliff of despair!

"Is the anime premiere of "CROW" in one week?" Makoto Takahashi looked at the calendar on the wall and frowned, "Is this the King of Black Flame's counterattack? It seems that we need to think of a way! "Steel Refining" has not yet reached the point of breaking out, and "Hanging" is now gathering strength. If we want to kill the Black Flame King in one fell swoop, it seems we will need some special reinforcements!"

"Sorry to disturb you, Master! Mr. Zhenxin and Mr. Takagi next door are looking for you!" Sebastian walked in with Acheng Mumengye and two others, "Then, please sit down, and go down and prepare black tea!"

"Huh? That's it..." Makoto Takahashi was still a little confused at first, but after seeing the faces of the two people opposite him, he understood a little bit. He turned to Sebastian and ordered, "Sebas-chan, Your Highness Princess" Over there, I’ll leave it to you!”

"Yes, I understand!" Sebastian smiled, bowed, and put the black tea on the table, "Then please forgive me for being rude!"

"Cheng, I think you already know the purpose of our visit, right?" After watching Sebas and Rina go out, it was the man with yellow hair and glasses who spoke! Lan Dai just looked at Takahashi Cheng quietly, although there was also a look of expectation in his eyes! "Our comic, "Detective Detective" is now..."

"First of all, I want to remind you that I am His Majesty the Demon King who is full of madness!" Makoto Takahashi took a sip of black tea and interrupted the yellow-haired glasses man, "If you want to get useful information from the Demon King, do you know what you should do? This is an equal exchange!”

"Why do you keep staring at me?" Lan Dai finally spoke, because after Makoto Takahashi finished speaking, he kept looking at Lan Dai! Looking at the weird smile on Takahashi Cheng's face, Lan Dai moved a little uneasily and swallowed unconsciously, "What... do you want?"

"Yeah! A photo!" Makoto Takahashi put down the teacup in his hand and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "A photo of Lan Dai and a female voice actor named Yadou kissing!"

puff! The man with yellow-haired glasses spurted out the tea in his mouth, suppressed the smile on his face, and turned to look at the blushing Lan Dai next to him. This kind of request is a bit embarrassing for a good partner, right? But...the yellow-haired glasses man gave Takahashi Makoto a thumbs up!

"This...how is this possible?" Lan Dai finally couldn't bear it any longer. His face turned red, whether from shyness or anger, and he roared loudly, "Since you don't want to say it, Cheng, then forget it!"

"Alas! You don't want to pay but you want to get information at the same time. You are so willful!" Makoto Takahashi complained and continued, "But because we have been together to attack the editorial department, we can advance some money this time... No I’m so happy so early, Mr. Huangmao Glasses, please remember to add the photo later! Hehe, if you forget it afterwards, the result will be... you know!”

"Hey, hey, we got it!" After hearing Takahashi Makoto's words, Yacheng Mu Mengye and two people immediately sat up straight, and the smiles on their faces also faded, ready to listen to Takahashi Makoto's advice! The man with yellow-haired glasses looked at Makoto Takahashi expectantly. Regarding the "Suspicious Detective" he came up with, the narrative method of the story is somewhat similar to that of "Han Chan" created by the other party, but the results of the two are somewhat... this This makes Mr. Huang Mao Glasses very puzzled!

"Unlike "Higurashi", the stories of "Suspicious Detective" cannot be coherent together!" Seemingly guessing what the yellow-haired glasses man was thinking, Makoto Takahashi pointed out his doubts directly, "Because the current "Higurashi", It's just setting up foreshadowing, and the story itself is not complete! But "The Detective" is different. After an event is completed, it means the end of a story! This kind of single-plot story is a test for the story creator. Ability! If you can’t write interesting stories, then the evaluation of comics will gradually decline and it will be difficult to rise again!”

"I already know this!" The yellow-haired glasses man scratched his head and looked at Makoto Takahashi with some trouble, "So I was thinking if I should read letters from readers. I want to tell the stories they want to see, Join the comics! In this way, maybe comics can attract people?”

"Hehe... If you do this, you will definitely be cut in half!" Makoto Takahashi suddenly sneered and said in a tone of experience, "You are the creators of comics, and the development of the story is up to you! If you give up yourself The idea of ​​​​only catering to readers' preferences will become extremely boring! It has won the support of a small number of readers, but it has made the comics lose their spirituality... This approach will lose the faith of believers and also Lose the whole world!"

"Believers believe... and there is a world?" Black lines appeared on the heads of the two of them. It was obviously just a comic book, but why did it suddenly switch to the existence of the world! Even though they are now familiar with the way Makoto Takahashi talks, they still can't understand some words!

"Huh? Sure enough, isn't there a world?" Makoto Takahashi looked at the confused expressions of the two people, ignored them, and continued, "You created comics, and you also created a world! In this new world In the world, your existence is equal to that of God! You control everything, know everything, know the past, have insight into the future, and are omnipotent! However, what you are doing now is to give up the self-respect and pride that God should have, and abandon the illusion of godhood. To become a mortal...this result will lead to the collapse of the world, natural and man-made disasters will fragment the world, and eventually lead to destruction!"

"...Anyway, this just won't work, right?" Although the yellow-haired glasses man didn't quite understand what he heard, he still understood the general meaning!

"Alas! Are you... just mortals after all?" Makoto Takahashi sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it's advance information anyway! Remember to pay! Of course, if you can please His Highness the Demon King, you will I will give you more! I have told you before that if you want to succeed, you must keep playing shy communication games with failure! You must know that there is only necessity in this world, there is no accident!”

"...Then let's say goodbye!" The two simply ignored Takahashi Makoto's words, stood up and said goodbye to leave! When the two walked to the door, Takahashi Makoto's voice came again.

"The fear of failure will make people lose the direction of progress! I hope that at that time, you will not forget your pride as a god!" Makoto Takahashi kindly reminded, "As His Majesty the Demon King, I have seen It’s the end!”
