Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"Teacher Editor, are you okay? Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"

".......it's okay no problem."

Waving his hands gently, the middle-aged man tried his best to keep his expression unchanged and said in a calm voice:

"I'm just a little concerned about the serialization status of you two. I didn't expect Xiaocheng to attack your old father first. It's really chilling..."

As he spoke, Takegami, the editor-in-chief of Shounen Jump, patted his head gently and said:

"Okay... I understand that there is no problem with your progress - but there is still one most important question. I still want to know more about it. Xiaocheng, as your biological father, I can ask this Problem?"

".......Just ask."

Listening to her father being aggressive toward Ali and smiling lovingly at her, feeling that the atmosphere was becoming more and more abstract, the dog-eyed girl from the underworld had no choice but to nod:

"Anyway, there are no secrets between the two of us. Just don't make up some outrageous things in your mind."

"...That is to say." The middle-aged man put down the glass filled with orange juice, and spoke in a mellow tone, but with a hint of meaning, "The comics of "Chainsaw Man" are indeed excellent, quite interesting. It feels like you are taking an erroneous approach, but after all, you two are still newcomers to the comics industry, and there may be some mistakes in the division of labor. If there is a situation where the assistant's workload is more than the original author, uncle, I will be very sad. .”

"Oh~"

Nodding slightly, the dog-eyed girl seemed to understand something. She looked at her father with furry eyes:

"Having said all that, dad is still worried that I am acting as a black slave in the name of an assistant."

".......is a bit."

Now that his daughter has made it clear, it is natural that Takegami Tomosuke cannot continue to cover it up:

"After all, judging from the resume, Mochizuki-san's resume is relatively simple. He had no real serialization experience before Chainsaw Man. It seems that he doesn't just draw comics on weekdays. The Twitter account "all" mostly posts about games and music. news, and sometimes forwarded Sloth Fish’s new songs...so I am very suspicious of Mochizuki-san’s time management skills and work efficiency, who has such a wide range of hobbies and has many latest photo resources. .”

"....That's good, but how do you know that Mochizuki-san has many latest photo resources?"

The girl with dog eyes shows a huge "?"

"There is no need to go into details about this. I can only say that I understand everything."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Tomosuke Takegami looked like a master.

"...So you really have a lot of photo resources?"

Seeing that her father remained silent, the dog-eyed girl narrowed her eyes and looked at Mochizuki sitting next to her.

"...We'll talk about this later."

Choosing to skip the round, Mochizuki stood up with a slight embarrassment and looked at the old father who suspected that he was enslaving President Gouyan, and said in a serious voice:

"...There is no other way. Since Editor Takegami doesn't trust me, I have no choice but to provide evidence to prove that I am doing a good job."

"I've basically finished the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man. I just need Mr. Takegami to refine it and draw the background. Now that Editor Takegami has pushed the manuscript offline, I'll show it to the editor."

"........"

Looking at the obviously serious young man in front of him, Takegami Tomosuke's expression changed slightly.

He just watched his baby daughter and the most popular new cartoonist under his banner bouncing up from the sofa in perfect harmony, walked into the room and rummaged through the comic manuscripts, and finally handed the sorted manuscripts to him. There were some subtle changes in his eyes.

"This is the manuscript that I revised before I started writing."

The little president with dog eyes said in a serious voice, and his eyebrows showed unprecedented determination:

"Take a good look at the latest episode of "Chainsaw Man"!"

"........OK."

Unexpectedly, when his daughter and the boy in front of him handed him the unfinished manuscript, Takegami Tomosuke was completely stunned.

.......This guy is not really a master of time management, is he?

......

ps: Tickets for the game! ! !

96. Pava, the cushion man, will reward you with 7k for kneading three times.

"........."

Watching Mochizuki and his daughter actually take out the manuscript, for a moment, Tomosuke Takegami, the editor of Shonen Jump, was really confused.

After handing the large pile of organized comic manuscripts into the hands of the editor, the middle-aged man's fingertips could still faintly feel the traces of strokes that penetrated the back of the paper, and his hands began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

"...Page 24, are you finished with a good picture?"

Saying this with some disbelief, Takegami Laoden looked at the calm-looking young man in front of him, and his voice changed slightly:

"The fourth episode of Chainsaw Man was just released today, and you finished drawing the fifth episode? How did you do this? Did you use a time machine to steal the manuscript from the future behind our backs?"

"...Editor Takegami, I have a copy of the manuscript."

Mochizuki gently scratched his head and looked at Takegami Laoden whose expression changed slightly. Mochizuki gently held the glass filled with orange juice and said in a clear voice:

"In the long free time after the short story competition, Mr. Takegami and I put the serialization work of "Chainsaw Man" on the schedule in advance, and also made a lot of preliminary preparations: such as the outline of each episode, Compared to other comics authors, I have prepared the characters and various subtle things in advance, and because of the rush, the drawing speed will be relatively faster."

"...The fifth chapter was revealed as soon as the serialization of the fourth episode began. Do you call this relatively fast?"

Watching Mochizuki give him the sketch of Chapter [-] with a backhand, Editor Takegami always felt that his decades of experience and understanding seemed to be gradually collapsing——

How is this done... Even if he has a complete story and storyboard outline in his mind, the efficiency of this young man is too scary right now, right?It's like a world away from some Lao Deng who waits at the mahjong table for a meal but stays at the mahjong table!

It was precisely because the boy's performance was a little too far beyond common sense that at this moment, Takegami Tomosuke also stopped showing off, and his voice showed a hint of subtlety:

"... I would like to ask, what is Mochizuki-san's current progress?"

"We are now halfway through episode six."

"...With such high efficiency, are you really a normal human being?"

The old father looked at his most popular new cartoonist in shock, his voice trembling.

"No problem, the drawing of "Chainsaw Man" also had the help of Mr. Takegami, so it was efficient enough."

Clapping his fingers gently, Mochizuki's expression was quite serious:

"If I finish drawing 24 pages of an episode and take it out for refinement, it won't take too long if Takegami-sensei and I work together, so the work can still be guaranteed."

".......yes?"

Tomosuke Sumigami, who originally wanted to show off Mochizuki Ryo, was in a daze at the moment——

After working in an editorial department for decades, the middle-aged man admits that he has seen many cartoonists who are extremely efficient at work, but most of them are just freeloaders who have no speed and can only produce assembly line works... ...With such talent and high efficiency, there are really very few newcomers who dare to venture and fight. They can be called rare animals.

.....Of course, although his inner rating of Mochizuki Ri was gradually rising, but thinking that his daughter was still stuck with the man in front of him, the old father's concern overcame his work after all - I saw him Clearing his throat, he chuckled quite insightfully:

"Yes, it seems that your work efficiency is indeed quite high. It is not in vain that I have attached great importance to you recently - but Mochizuki-san, let me say it first. My request will not be reduced because of your overfulfillment. If the quality of your content is not If you keep up, I will step back sternly.”

"no problem."

With a slight snap of his fingers, Mochizuki and the little president Gouyan's voices were almost completely synchronized:

"Editor Takegami, please take a look."

"........."

Seeing his daughter smiling like a flower, Mochizuki had a calm and serious expression, and he always felt that something was falling apart in his heart. In the darkness, the young man frowned slightly, picked up the brand new comic manuscript, and worked hard quickly Reading through it, trying to find some loopholes——

However, after Takegami Laoden flipped through it for a few minutes, he realized that the information handed to him by the boy and his daughter in front of him was actually a bit ruthless.

........not for a while.

"Shushasha..."

Looking through the storyboards of Chainsaw Man in his hand, Tomosuke Takegami, who originally had other ideas, was dragged into the bizarre abstract world of Chainsaw Man by the absurd plot and tense storyboards. .

...

After the war, Denci was rescued by Hayakawa Akira and lay safely in the hospital for treatment——

When Mr. Dai Dian came to his senses, he found that he was now in the hospital, with a cold man with pigtails sitting next to him.

"........."

Seeing that this man with whom he had been acquainted with was sitting next to him, still minding his own business peeling an apple, Teacher Dadian had a calm expression and didn't say much. He just looked at the surface in front of him silently. The cold Hayakawa Akira slowly spoke.

From his words, Denji understood that Hayakawa Akira thought he was a devil: because after Hayakawa Akira helped him get his arm back, he was able to reconnect the severed limbs and heal themselves through blood transfusion alone. Such a thing is absolutely impossible for humans. It can be done.

And after hearing the words of the man with braided apple peeling, Denji's expression while lying on the bed instantly changed from calm to slightly dissatisfied:

"You said it so beautifully, but in the end you ended up getting mixed up with the fox demon."

"........"

After hearing what Denji said, Hayakawa Akira didn't say much - he just gently pulled up his sleeves, revealing his bandaged arms:

It turns out that he has made a contract with the fox demon to gain the demon's power. The price is to let the demon eat part of his body.

"...So this time, I gave the skin of my arm to the devil."

Just when the words fell into silence, Hayakawa Akira put up his sleeves and said to this stupid boy who knew almost nothing:

"Sacrificing oneself like a devil is also a way to gain power."

"........"

To be honest, when I turned to this page, Editor Takegami's expression was a little stunned.

Such classic elements...Whether it is the enemy or the enemy having the same origin, or whether it is offering something to the devil, the setting of this part is not so underworld, and a little more orthodox——

Logically speaking, as an editor, Tomosuke Takegami should be very happy to see that his extremely mentally disturbed author can draw some normal comics... But the situation today is different. Looking at it, The chainsaw man's condition was obviously recovering. The middle-aged man in the dark just shook his head slightly:

"The condition has become much milder. It doesn't smell like that anymore... Teacher Mochizuki, it's not pure enough."

"?"

Seeing Takegami Laoden start to be so arrogant, the curly-haired boy couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"...Isn't that not tasty enough?"

"It really doesn't taste good...it doesn't have that dazzling feeling anymore."

The dog started barking without thinking, and Takegami Laoden felt like he was trying to show Mochizuki's power again:

"No, Mochizuki-san. You can't really have your condition under control as said on the Internet, right? This won't be a good way to maintain the trend of Chainsaw Man——"

"In other words, can it be more underworld?"

Mochizuki's eyes lit up, and his desire to connect with the fire fist after the chainsaw became more and more overflowing.

"...Um, yes, of course."

"Great!"

The young man clenched his fists, his expression became quite excited, and the smile on his face was very much like a child whose wish was about to come true——

Seeing that Mochizuki didn't seem to be anxious about his provocation, Takegami Tomosuke felt vaguely like he was getting himself into a pit, and his expression was stunned.

.....I said he had no job, why is he still so happy?

For a moment, Takegami Laoden's already stubborn brain CPU showed some signs of downtime.

And it was at this moment that the young man was slightly stunned in the darkness and did not fully react -

"Jingle Bell."

The text message alert sounded at this moment.

Swiping the screen gently, the dark and dank middle-aged man suddenly saw the message sent to him by his editor-in-chief's wife.

"...Later, kneel on the washboard and slap me on the mouth at the same time. If Teacher All really starts to go crazy, you will be the first one I ask."

".......Snapped."

After glancing at his wife's warning, and then at Mochizuki's hidden mental illness, who was laughing and laughing, the dark middle-aged man suddenly gave himself a big mouthful.

"...Uncle, what's wrong?"

Seeing his editor's sudden big cock, Mochizuki asked with concern.

"It's okay, something got into my nose and it was a little blocked just now."

The middle-aged man in the dark waved his hand, pretending that nothing happened.

"Is there something in your nose? This is not possible. Do you want to take some medicine or go to the hospital?"

"It's okay. The slap on my nose just now made my nose clear. The human body is amazing."

"........"
