Of course, if Mochizuki is really the pure and pure God of War, even though Takegami Tomosuke cares about his old father, he is not unable to let go - but the situation in front of him is very complicated. Mochizuki is so handsome. The young jump editor, who has no sense of security and is suspected of having the same close relationship with another girl. He has always been a little afraid that his daughter will meet a bad man and be deceived by a hidden prodigal, but also has special thoughts at this moment.

At this point, the old father smiled softly, hid his thoughts in his heart, and then slowly spoke:

"Haha, ordinary friends? That's not bad - after all, you are visiting our home during Christmas, so I guess you two have a pretty good relationship, right?"

"...It's okay."×2

The two children on the sofa were a little embarrassed. Facing this middle-aged man who seemed to have ulterior motives in his words, they felt like they were being caught on fire.

And it is at this very moment.

The man's words slowly sounded at this moment:

"So... Mr. All won't be accompanying Kurihara-san who lives next door this year."

As the picture shows, Takegami Laoden's expression and voice become meaningful:

"After all, it's Christmas Eve, wouldn't it be better to spend some time with the girl who lives next door? I heard that she still has some inconvenience in her legs and feet."

"...Kurihara Saki didn't spend Christmas with me, and she went back to her hometown with her parents a few days ago."

He calmly responded to his editor's words. After understanding the deep meaning of the editor's words, the young man's expression showed quite seriousness:

"...Nothing happened between us. It's just a normal neighborly relationship where we occasionally eat and play games. Please don't misunderstand me, editor."

"......Really~"

Faced with Mochizuki's words without any hesitation, Takegami Tomosuke held his chin, his kind expression full of temptation:

"Is that so...are you and your neighbor just friends?"

"...They are indeed ordinary friends, with the same nature as Takegami-san."

Without much hesitation, Mochizuki responded resonantly.

However, this clear response completely aroused the old father's vigilance.

"yes........"

Recalling the scene where Mochizuki and his daughter were very close to each other and sharing their taste with each other, and then recalling what Mochizuki said, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Takegami Tomosuke's mind -

.....A friend of the same nature as Xiao Cheng?

In other words... Kurihara Saki is also someone who can be stuck together with Mochizuki Ri, chatting intimately, and enjoying ambiguity?

Isn't that his daughter's love rival? !

For a moment, bad thoughts emerged crazily. Looking at the sinful man, Takegami Tomosuke's eyes flashed with gamma rays:

"It seems that Mochizuki-san has a lot of friends... I'm so envious. When I was your age, I was still an ordinary high school student who could only read comics in the corner and go to the arcade to play games after school. I am not as popular as Mochizuki-san at all."

"...I will reflect on myself."

"Why do you want to reflect on it? You didn't do anything wrong."

Takegami Laoden's voice changed slightly, and his words also contained some meaning:

"I didn't mean to pry into the social life of young people...but I am a little curious, what do you think of Xiao Cheng as a friend - I have never heard Xiao Cheng's friends of the same age talk about Xiao Cheng."

"........."

He always felt that if he answered a question incorrectly without paying attention, he would fall into an abyss. The young man paused for a while before speaking:

"...Takegami-san is a trustworthy teacher and partner to me."

"Is that so... Then Mochizuki-san will be here this Christmas. I can understand that Mochizuki-san would rather spend it with Kosumi than Kurihara-san——"

"...Hello, dad."

Realizing that the situation seemed to have become a bit abstract, the little president with dog eyes who realized the true intention of his father's words just now had a faint blush on his face:

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"Xiao Cheng, don't worry."

A loving smile appeared, and when facing his daughter, a certain cold aura of the dark middle-aged man also disappeared without a trace:

"I'm just a little curious. The Shonen Jump headquarters also has regulations. Our editors must pay close attention to the living conditions of cartoonists and ensure that their creative environment is quiet enough."

The voice fell.

Ignoring his daughter's obviously shy and faintly red face, Takegami Laoden asked:

"So, Mochizuki-san, can you respond to what I'm most curious about? Thank you very much."

"...If it were Christmas Eve this year, I would prefer to stay with Takegami-san."

After carefully weighing the situation and the actual pros and cons, thinking about his current position as a friend and his social fear nature, he couldn't go back to his hometown with Kurihara Saki to celebrate the holidays and greet a bunch of people he didn't know. The young man spoke slowly and slightly awkwardly, Answer like this:

"In terms of horizontal comparison, I still feel more comfortable staying here... After all, Teacher Sakuraba's home is only three kilometers away from my home, and you can get there by riding a bicycle - in terms of distance and convenience, Accepting Teacher Sakuraba's care is the best choice for me."

".......I see."

Sighing slightly, the old father carefully observed the complex young man in front of him, and it was difficult to make an immediate conclusion. The old father couldn't help but hold his chin, and his thoughts began to change.

........I have several female friends around me, and the relationship seems to be ambiguous. There is no dispute about appearance and talent. It is said that the family is also relatively wealthy. Although she seems to be relatively withdrawn, if nothing else, this famous person A kid who cares about Mochizuki will probably be very popular with high school girls——

This is troublesome.

Although he is very happy that his daughter can stay with a boy who is good enough, Mochizuki is a bit too good in all aspects. In addition, his lover just mentioned to him that the boy in front of him has a neighbor with whom he has a delicate relationship... .... The old father, who has always been nervous that his daughter would meet someone unkind and be manipulated by a scumbag, couldn't help but worry about his daughter's future.

As a man, Takegami Laoden doesn't believe in men at all - there are fewer and fewer virtuous middle-aged people like him who just look at the photos of beautiful women without doing anything in reality. The handsome Yang Jiao high school student in his prime Generally just play real.If the child that I have raised for so many years is really deceived by this high school student with unknown background and appearance that makes people feel insecure, then everything will be over...

Hey, you absolutely can’t do this!

Thinking of this, Editor Takegami's expression became more solemn, and his movements of tasting the fruity oranges became slower and slower.

Until the details of this mysterious high school student are fully understood, we must not let down our guard...

This is indeed what the old father thought.

However, perhaps because he noticed his editor's scrutiny of him, Mochizuki unconsciously shed a large amount of cold sweat on his forehead, and a speechless emotion emerged in his heart.

??

After a brief moment of silence, Mochizuki couldn't help but frown slightly, and his thoughts were filled with thoughts.

.........Editor Takegami is so old, something is really wrong.

He had just dealt with the most aggressive Big Dog editor, and then he encountered his own editor who was giving him a wheel battle. The young man was truly speechless, and his thoughts were all over the place.

He has a kind smile, a gentle expression, and a mellow voice... Just looking at the appearance, this middle-aged man with a slightly protruding disc in his waist due to years of overtime work does seem amiable - but this is only on the surface. It just looks like it, not the reality.

I have said enough polite words, and I was even testing my relationship with Kurihara's mother just now... Although I have been obsessing on the sidelines just now, this time I entered the battlefield, it was really a bad person.

He was wary of Tomosuke Takegami in front of him, and the boy's expression became quite concerned.

.....The trial of the dark middle-aged man may have just begun.

It was also when Mochizuki was thinking a lot.

The middle-aged man's smile did not change in the darkness, but he actually took the orange with his backhand and poured it on Mochizuki, with the air of a middle-aged old man trying to persuade him to drink:

"...Alright, although something unexpected happened, Teacher All, we are the closest collaborators in Shonen Jump, and we are fellow villagers. We all have the need for fame and wealth, and most importantly, you and Our Xiaocheng is still a good friend and partner. You see, this is really fate, and nothing can stop it - uncle, I am really happy that you can come today, come and have a drink!"

Transformed into a dark middle-aged man filled with orange juice, Takegami Laoden gently clinked glasses with Mochizuki, and his smile was as friendly as the department level.

"Have a drink with me."

The young man nodded, and then drank the orange juice almost simultaneously with Lao Deng——

However, it is also at this time.

The beating after the honey begins.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Mochizuki...you came to Risa's house as a guest today, you should have known that we would come~"

"Yes......."

"That's really good. After all, we didn't know that we would run into a high school student we had never met before when we went home, and we never thought that this high school student would actually be a cartoonist under my banner~"

Speaking loudly, Takegami Tomosuke changed the topic and suddenly made such an attack:

"Uncle, don't worry about this. Did Teacher Mochizuki come here empty-handed?"

"...That's definitely not the case."

Having long expected that the dark middle-aged man would be so angry, Mochizuki reacted quickly, and then mysteriously left the sofa and whispered softly into Takegami Tomosuke's ear.

"...?"

Hearing Mochizuki's whisper, Takegami Laoden's expression changed drastically, and his mellow smile disappeared. After a few seconds, he gently pulled the young man's sleeve as if he didn't react, and lowered his voice:

"...Is this your Christmas gift to me?"

"That's right."

Nodding slightly, Mochizuki continued to whisper in his editor's ear:

"I just recently got the photo album of Ayaka Imoto "ヒロインはrin として美しい17" from a friend. The quality is very high. I will send it to your uncle tonight - "

"presumptuous!"

Zhushang Laoden suddenly stood up, his expression became ferocious and terrifying:

"Teacher Mochizuki, I didn't expect you to be such a person! Why are you using these to test cadres——"

"...I have also prepared a photo album of Asuka Saito (Military), which I just purchased recently."

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"

Mochizuki's whisper fell, and in an instant, the shadows of spring clouds appeared.

Takegami Laoden’s smile is like a spring breeze, which makes people feel deeply healed:

"Teacher All is really thoughtful. He is indeed a talented cartoonist who takes the wrong approach."

"you flatter me."

Mochizuki, who directly contributed all the resources that Kurihara's mother gave him in the morning, finally escaped from the tiger's mouth and sat next to Takegami Kasumi again, with a serious expression:

"I still have a lot of room for improvement. I hope my uncle will teach me more."

"...Young people, just make progress slowly."

Taking a break from the brief excitement, Takegami Tomosuke was shocked to realize that he had fallen into a honey trap, and he immediately recovered from it——

What a scary high school student... I almost fell into his trap!

.... How dare you use your photo album to deceive your elders? This kid is really incredible.

Frowning slightly, Takegami Tomosuke couldn't help but secretly marvel at the high school student in front of him who behaved quite politely but didn't flinch when faced with him.

met an opponent.

Next, we cannot take it lightly.

"Cough cough."

The middle-aged man cleared his throat and readjusted his thoughts. His smile regained his bureaucracy:

"Successful in career, handsome and unrestrained, but low-key and restrained like an ordinary high school student. Mochizuki-san is truly worthy of being praised as a man with a beautiful face and a beaded child."

"You've received a prize, but you're a person of low caliber and weak moral character. How dare you be so aloof and self-reliant?"

"Haha, what you said, being too modest is also a kind of pride - but Mochizuki-san is right, young jumpers are as strong as the clouds, and decades of history have produced many talented cartoonists, some of whom are older than Mochizuki-san. It’s lighter and the level of effort is higher.”

"...There is such a thing."

I always felt that the editor Takegami in front of me clearly meant what he said. Mochizuki's expression did not change, he observed the situation carefully, and decided to take action later——

And he wasn't made to wait long.

The kind middle-aged man finally showed his fangs and asked skillfully:

"Although Mochizuki-kun is being serialized quite quickly, and Chainsaw Man has also successfully updated the latest chapter in the Christmas special issue, but then again, serializing comics is very energy-consuming, and now there is only one left until the next issue of Shonen Jump In just four days, uncle, I am still a little worried whether the new chapter of "Chainsaw Man" can be serialized normally."

"...Of course."

The little president with dog eyes looked at his father who seemed to be able to find fault with a little dissatisfaction, and his eyebrows could not help but frown slightly:

"Mochizuki-kun's style of painting is relatively simple, and she can produce storyboards very quickly. I have already completed half of the drawing work for the latest episode. Next, I only need to refine it, and then fill in some big scenes and draw them - no lines required. Send me a reminder, Dad, you really look like those noisy and annoying middle-aged people in TV dramas."

"..........Ahem!"

Being severely slandered by his daughter, Takegami Tomosuke almost choked on the orange juice, and his aura at the department level was also affected.

Seeing the drastic change in his editor's expression, Mochizuki was slightly startled, and then quickly stepped forward and patted the middle-aged man on the back:
