Gotta Go the Healing Route

Seeing Zhicheng with a somewhat tangled expression, Kazama Xi asked:

"Find me out of nowhere."

Daoist Zhicheng's face suddenly became a little complicated, as if he was struggling with something, and finally he sighed and said:

"In fact, Yashu and I have already applied to the editorial department to stop the serialization of "Detective Strange Records"."

There is actually not much difference between actively applying to stop the serialization and passively cutting it in half, it's just that the author has a better face.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Kazama, for letting down the hard work of you, Missy, and Hashiba and the others."

Zhicheng put his hands on the table and lowered his head deeply.

The original intention of everyone's struggle before was to save the hard work of Zhicheng Zhenren and Gui Ye Yashu.But after going around and around, the result still hasn't changed.

Kazama Xi raised his eyebrows, and also felt a little surprised, it was different from what he had thought before.

But soon, Feng Jianxi regained his composure, nodded, and waited for Zhicheng's explanation.

Master Zhicheng also raised his head, and said in a deep voice:

"We have already talked with Mr. Dahe this week. Although Mr. Dahe didn't say it directly, what he expressed is very clear. If there is no shocking turning point in these two words, "Detective Strange Records" will definitely be cut in half. "

Shueisha's ranking mechanism is not so user-friendly, it doesn't matter how long you have been out of publication for any reason.After the resumption of publication, we must immediately invest in fierce competition.If you have been lagging behind in the ranking, you will be cut in half.

The reality is not benevolent. Some things in comics really cannot be reversed by a passion.

"So, Ya Shu and I discussed, rather than watching our hard work being cut in half, it is better for us to take the initiative to put an end to it." Zhicheng said with a wry smile.

Listening to Zhicheng's narration, the latte ordered by Kazama Yuki was also served.

Kazama Xi took a short-term coffee cup, took a sip of the bitter liquid, and didn't continue to say anything more about the two people's decision to end the serialization on their own initiative.

If you can understand, and if you think about it differently, this is a helpless decision for the two of them.

Kazama Xi put down the coffee, "Do you have an idea for the new work? When are you going to serialize it?"

Even if the serialization of "Detective Odd Records" does not end normally, Aki Aki and Zhicheng still have the qualifications to be serialized directly on Jump.

As long as the new manuscript passes the serialization meeting, it is definitely not necessary to start from the basic level of monthly rewards like ordinary authors.After all, the potential and talents of the two are here, and they also have experience in serialization, so there is no reason for Atsushi Itakura to give up the two.

However, the real Zhicheng's answer surprised Kazama Xi.

"No, we shouldn't think about new serialization this year."

Zhicheng said seriously.

"Thinking about it now, it was too sudden for us to become a serial manga artist after being successfully serialized before. Maybe we were not ready at all... It was also because I was too impatient and complacent before, which led to this situation now. "

"I talked to Ya Shu, and we both felt that we need to settle down for a while."

"Oh?"

Kazama Xi looked carefully at the real Zhicheng, this madman with a liver can actually make such a decision, it seems that this incident has really affected him a lot.

"Actually, this is also my real purpose for finding you, Mr. Kazama."

"Ok?"

Before Kazama Xi could ask a question, Master Zhicheng lowered his head again.

"Kazama-kun, please let me be your assistant!"

"Ms. Kazama, I want to learn manga!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhicheng's sudden words and actions made Kazama Xi almost lose her grip on the coffee cup in her hand.

At this time, Master Zhicheng had already raised his head, looking at Feng Jianxi with a hopeful look.

After regaining consciousness and making sure that she heard correctly just now, Kazama Xi coughed lightly and said:

"Is this the period of time Zhicheng you mentioned?"

"Ah."

Master Zhicheng nodded heavily:

"Many cartoonists started out as assistants, and gradually accumulated experience before becoming cartoonists..."

"It's not like that, this survivor is too biased." Kazama Xi said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I don't need to be paid to become your assistant Kazama-kun."

"It's not a matter of remuneration or not... You underestimate me too much, I can still pay this salary..."

Kazama Xi sighed, took a sip of coffee again, collected himself, and then said:

"Actually, I really don't think you need that. In terms of painting skills, I really have nothing for you to learn."

"It's not painting skills..."

Real Zhicheng gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm imagining Kazama Xi, you learn about creating stories."

Seeing Zhicheng's appearance, Kazama Xi fell silent.After a while, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Does Takano-kun know about this?"

When Kazama Xi mentioned Guiye Yashu, Zhicheng's face suddenly became complicated, but he still nodded:

"Well, I told Ya Shu about this, and he agreed. So, Mr. Kazama, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Is that so..."

Kazama Xi lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then looked at Zhicheng, whose expression was the kind of seriousness and persistence he was familiar with.

Kazama Xi slowly closed her eyes, then opened her eyes and nodded lightly, saying, "I see."

"Understood... Kazama-kun, what do you mean?" Zhicheng asked cautiously.

"In terms of salary, I can only give you the normal salary of the assistant level. This is no problem."

"Of course, with regard to story creation, to be honest, I can't promise to help you, but if you have any questions, I will try to answer them for you."

With Kazama Xi's words, Master Zhicheng naturally knew that Kazama Xi agreed to his request, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Master Zhicheng took another deep breath and restrained his emotions.He got up from his seat and bowed deeply to Kazama Xi.

"Thank you."

Zhicheng's actions made other guests in the coffee shop cast their eyes here, and Kazama Xi was not the kind of social bully, so he quickly called Zhicheng to sit down.

"During working hours, after you have dealt with the follow-up matters of "Detective Strange Records", just come here directly. The address of my studio is..."

"Yes." Listening to Feng Jianxi's arrangement, Zhicheng also nodded in agreement.Then, he seemed to say with emotion:

"Kazama-kun, you are currently serializing two works at the same time, one is royal and the other is evil. Even if you are purely as an assistant, you must be able to learn a lot from it."

Hearing Zhicheng's words, Kazama Xi's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Boy, are you serious?Are you sure you want to learn and learn from the two comics "Chain Saw Man" and "Flame Fist"?

................

After bidding farewell to real Zhicheng, Kazama Xi returned to the apartment.

The author has the absolute right to make decisions about hiring an assistant.But Zhicheng's real identity is special, so of course this kind of thing needs to be discussed with Ziwan Uemura alone.

However, it was getting late, and Yuki Kazama didn't even think about calling Aster Uemura now, but went directly to Aster Uemura tomorrow to clarify.

But at this moment, Kazama Xi received a call from someone else.

It belongs to Wushan Yun.

After answering the phone, Kazama Xi was thinking about what this young lady wanted to do with her.Wu Shanyun on the phone said straight to the point:

"Zhicheng-kun and Takano-kun's "Detective Odd Records" will stop serialization."

"I also know about this."

Kazama Xi rubbed the center of her brow.

"This time it's their own will, miss, you're not going to meddle again..."

"Do you think I'm the kind of meddlesome person?" Unexpectedly, Wu Shanyun turned back.His tone even seemed a little annoyed.

"The problem is, Takano-kun approached me today and said he wanted to stay in my studio for a while."

"What do you think of this?" Wu Shanyun directly threw the question to Feng Jianxi.

Is this a two-way trip?

Not long ago, he learned about Zhicheng's wishes, and now he learned from Wu Shanyun that Guiye Yashu had a similar choice, but Feng Jianxi didn't feel too surprised.

"That's really a coincidence. Daoist Zhicheng also approached me not long ago, saying that he would stay with me for a while."

Kazama Xi briefly told Wu Shanyun what happened not long ago.

Wu Shanyun was silent, and only after a while did he make a sound:

"Kazama-kun, you said they are..."

Although Wu Shanyun's voice was flat, the worried tone couldn't be concealed.

Since Guiye Yashu took the initiative to find her alone, she couldn't help wondering whether the two of them were hit hard by the suspension of the publication, resulting in conflicts and preparing to part ways.

It is not uncommon in the circle that co-authors such as Guiye Yashu and Zhicheng Zhenzhen split up and fly solo, or it is a norm.

Feng Jianxi also heard Wu Shanyun's worry, and said, "Don't think too much."

"Young people's minds are always very simple, and they don't have so many entanglements of interests. It's not so much a contradiction, it's better to say..."

Kazama Xi paused, and said:

"It's more like a kind of debt owed by both parties to each other. Neither of them wants to be a drag on the other."

Kazama Xi could somewhat feel Zhicheng's motives after meeting him.

The painstaking work "Detective Strange Records" ended in this way, and the two authors must be reflecting.

Master Zhicheng is undoubtedly guilty, because it was his problem in the main writing link that led to the current situation.True Zhicheng undoubtedly felt that he was a drag on Guiye Yashu's painstaking script.

And as for the Takano tree...
