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

"...It can be regarded as a temporary limited-time mission."

Gently holding his chin, Takegami Tomosuke turned around and looked at the curly-haired boy sitting with his daughter behind the sliding glass door, his expression showing considerable appreciation.

.....Although Mochizuki's initial impression of Takegami Laoto was unfavorable because of his status as an old father - but after a period of contact, this comic editor who has been in the industry for many years had to admit that the situation in front of him was The young man is really too good. The good ones want him to quickly turn into a drawing machine and serialize [-] chapters a day to start the royal journey of conquering the boy jump.

"So after thinking about it, I feel that it is not impossible for Xiao Cheng to be with Mochizuki Ri... And didn't I say it? Although there is not enough evidence, Mochizuki Ri is very likely to be with multiple girls. Direct connections and bonds form. If our daughter slows down a step, she will be taken a step ahead by another woman - as a parent, can you bear to let your daughter lose at the starting line?"

"......"

Seeing that her husband seems to be going to more and more extremes and becoming crazy, the editor-in-chief of Big Dog couldn’t help but knock his husband, who was wearing a knitted dog hat, on the head:

"Can you please stop making trouble... You are really a person. Even the guy who usually gets on top of me has stopped. Why is it now the turn of a calm person like you to start going crazy?"

"...This is not a lunatic, but a strategy based on the current facts."

Completely ignoring his wife's complaints about him, Takegami Tomosuke gently raised his head and looked at the silent and twinkling clouds of the stars under the winter sun:

"Besides, it turns out that the battle is not over yet. Mochizuki and our Xiaocheng will definitely have a long period of cooperation... During this period, I will also have to shoulder the responsibility of a father."

"Hey, I've never seen any normal father help his 16-year-old daughter chase boys."

"Oh, it's okay if we don't talk about it when we meet women."

"...Who are you talking about as a woman?"

"...?!"

Only then did he realize that he had unconsciously said such extremely dangerous words. Takegami Laoden immediately distanced himself from his lover and prepared his hands, hoping to resist his Nine Yin White Bone Claws - however, it backfired as he launched a heart-stopping combo. Reappearing, middle-aged Lao Deng was tortured so hard that his eyes rolled back and he almost ascended to heaven.

"...I haven't settled the accounts for you yet about the bet about All before entering the house tonight and the matter of you encouraging Mochizuki to have a haircut."

Gently pulling out the big paw, the editor-in-chief of Big Dog curled his lips:

"I'll settle the score with you when the time comes...be more restrained these days, got it?"

"........I try my best."

Middle-aged men always have some dignity of their own, and even if they condescend, they would respond with uncertain words - fortunately, the editor-in-chief of Big Dog didn't care about these trivial matters. She gently held her chin, and after a while, she said this Author:

"...Forget it, anyway, you can do it if you want to bring Mochizuki and Xiao Cheng together. I will never get involved - after all, I still hope that they can grow up normally instead of being raped. You put them all together forcibly."

"...Don't worry, I'm measured."

Patting his head gently, Takegami Tomosuke said in a calm voice:

"It's not sweet to be forced. Even if I change my strategic thinking, my daughter and Mochizuki will not be in absolute embarrassment. After all, parents definitely don't want their children to take the same detours as they did in the past——"

"...Detours? Do you still have painful love experiences?"

The editor-in-chief of Big Dog was gleaming.

"...Look, what's the point of increasing your concentration in some strange places?"

He sighed slightly awkwardly and looked at the time across his wrist. Takegami Tomosuke, who roughly understood the situation, stood up gently and pulled up his chair:

"Let's get back to the topic. Although Mochizuki's true identity has still not been revealed, which is a bit regretful - but it's not bad. At least I have figured out a lot of things, and the next road will be much smoother... ..."

The voice fell.

The dark middle-aged man's aura changed subtly, and the bright fighting spirit ignited in winter - he opened the sliding glass door, showed a kind smile, and prepared to return to the living room.

"........"

Although it was a bit hard for her husband to change his expression like this, seeing that he seemed to be seriously trying to implement what he said, the editor-in-chief of Big Dog just sighed, and then followed her husband into the house.

.....The winter wind is really cold. I will definitely not sit on the balcony with this crazy old boy next time.

Natsue Takegami cursed his lover in his heart and began to sit aside, preparing to continue working remotely.

......

At this moment, inside Kasumi Takegami's small room.

"...Ali, things seem to have become complicated."

Today, Christmas Eve, he officially changed his name for the boy. The little president with dog eyes gently held his chin, and his furry eyes showed a complicated light:

"Our parents actually went out to the balcony to chat. This fight was really unexpected."

"...Indeed."

Gently holding his chin, as if summing up after the war, Mochizuki's eyes turned slightly:

"I was fine during the meal, but I didn't expect that as soon as the meal was over, my uncle and aunt went to the balcony one after another - Teacher Takegami, didn't I say something wrong?"

"...Did you say anything wrong?"

He waved his hand gently and looked at Mochizuki Ri in front of him, the little president's dog-eyed eyebrows curved:

"Haha... I didn't expect Ali to be so cautious from the beginning to the end - but you are just worrying too much. Although my parents are a little nervous about me, they are quite easy to talk to. Don't worry about it. They are so narrow-minded.”

".........Really?"

He frowned slightly and carefully recalled what happened during the dinner. Takegami Tomosuke had a disapproving face the whole time. He only managed to squeeze out a smile when he occasionally talked about jokes. Mochizuki was a little unsure:

"Why do I feel that your dad is a little different from what you described... From the time he read my comic manuscript before dinner to the Christmas Eve dinner, his expression has always been weird. Doesn't he hate me? ?”

"........how could it be possible?"

Kasumi Takegami patted her chest gently and assured herself:

"Don't think too much, things are not that complicated - our dad may be stubborn sometimes, but most of the time he is very rational and will never suffer from sudden illness."

"...But he really feels like he's having a serious illness now. Is that okay?"

"Okay, just go ahead and rush. Anyway, listen to me. If things really get irreversible, won't I still be there to protect you?"

Raising his little head very seriously, the little president with puppy eyes promised this:

"Don't worry if you're at my house - besides, it's Christmas Eve today. Before your parents come back, just treat this place as your home. There's no need to go through all the fuss."

".......Fine."

With such assurance from the little teacher, Mochizuki's originally tense mood was relieved to a certain extent.

He looked up at the clock and saw that the hands had already dropped to eight-fifteen in the evening——

It was obvious that it was getting late.

"... Speaking of which, Takegami-sensei has almost digested it, right?"

Stretching slightly, Mochizuki said softly:

"It's almost time to start revising the new episode of Chainsaw Man that I just showed editor Takegami to in my spare time. I feel like there are still a lot of details that need to be added—"

"Okay~"

Nodding slightly, the little president with dog eyes immediately took out two pens with his little paws - but just when Mochizuki reached out to get the painting tools, the girl secretly hid one of them, smiling. flowery.

"...What's going on, Takegami-sensei?"

Monk Mochizuki Lizhang Er was confused and looked slightly surprised.

"Ali."

With arched eyebrows and dog-like eyes, the little teacher asked teasingly:

“From today onwards, it’s a new year—shouldn’t it be time to replace some old things with new ones?”

"...Does that mean Takegami-sensei wants to give me a new pen?"

"Of course not..."

Looking at the curly-haired boy in front of him, who didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, the little teacher with dog eyes gently flexed his fingers:

"Look, I've started to change my names for you - as the New Year is approaching, shouldn't you also change your names for me?"

".......Eh?"

Only then did he understand Takegami Kasumi's words, Mochizuki scratched his head:

"Then...should I call you Xiaocheng?"

"...No, it smells too strong."

I always felt that Mochizuki used this title to call himself, which felt like an elder addressing a younger generation. Takegami Kasumi couldn't help but curled her lips:

"Change it - but the word Xiao Cheng must be retained."

"....Then, I will call you Teacher Xiaocheng from now on?"

After thinking briefly, Mochizuki snapped his fingers gently:

"Would it be more appropriate to add a teacher?"

"...It's really true."

Nodding slightly in surprise, the little president with doggy eyes smiled broadly:

"Then... you're going to call me that from now on?"

"?."

Without any extra words, Mochizuki just made a gesture, and then unfolded the comic manuscript:

"So, Teacher Xiaocheng - should we work together to revise the manuscript?"

"That's true - come on, Ali."

"...Please, Teacher Xiaocheng."

"Pfft."

"Ha ha......."

The change of title has a subtle dramatic effect.

I always feel that there is always a sense of inconsistency in such a conversation. Both children couldn't help but chuckle at this moment——

Of course, the green feeling always disappears quietly in the next second.

After all, they still had to work, so the two boys and girls, who had never felt in love in the past, just picked up the paintbrush and painted on the unfinished sketch.

The young president with Dog Eyes was sitting next to Mochizuki Ri, lowering his head to draw the thread while feeling the warmth and moist atmosphere so close at hand.

.....a very close distance.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have known Mochizuki for half a year...

While sketching lines, the girl's thoughts flew to the sky.

From the first glimpse in my aunt's Toyota, to forming an alliance of cartoonists, skipping class to buy comics together, spending Christmas Eve together, and now at this moment, quietly working on manuscripts with him in the room... .....In the blink of an eye, the whole year is almost over.

The second semester of their sophomore year of high school is coming to an end, but their journey as cartoonists has just begun.

There will be more opportunities to get along with each other in the future...

At this point in her thoughts, the girl's pen began to tremble slightly.

"......Teacher Xiaocheng?"

Seeing Kasumi Takegami's strokes pause, Mochizuki raised her head slightly and looked at the girl in front of her:

"What's wrong?"

"...No, it's nothing."

"You seem to be blushing."

"...Okay, why are you paying attention to this? Let's continue painting."

After ignoring Mochizuki's concern, Takegami Kasumi continued to regain his attention and continued to refine the slightly sloppy draft to a certain extent.

The feeling of getting along quietly with him and relying on each other, it seems that even the sound of the heartbeat has become clear.

........What exactly is this feeling?

Kasumi Takegami still didn't understand why she had such thoughts in her heart.

.....Maybe I do have a crush on Mochizuki?Do you still want to continue walking with him?

No way... It's just an ordinary comic book partner. How can the relationship continue to develop in depth?

Moreover, Ari, Saki, and Xu... If they start to think that they must be special than others just because of their cooperative relationship, is this Taiyaro being arrogant?

Anyway... maybe it doesn't matter if we continue to have this relationship.

Although she would occasionally say some very suggestive words to Mochizuki, and would always come up with some naughty but secretly emotional wisecracks to laugh and play with the boy, under the cheerful appearance, the girl did not Courage to take the initiative.
