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

"Sorry, dressing up as a woman is out of the question, don't even think about it."

Fan: "Mr. Mochizuki, did Kurihara's mother just show up at the venue to see Mr. Mochizuki's manga interview? I just saw a cosplayed silver-haired wheelchair girl slipping away from behind with a little girl who looked very much like Kinomoto Sakura. ......."

"That's a good question, but I don't know if she's coming. If that doesn't work, just treat her as a Tathagata."

Fan: "When will All and Slothfish have a fantasy collaboration?"

"I'll wait until there is an opportunity in the future. If "Fire Fist", "Chainsaw Man" or even the earliest "One Punch Man" have the opportunity to be animated, I will also take the initiative to sing the theme song."

"Oh, right."

As if he had found an entry point, Mochizuki stood up gently:

"Speaking of the linkage...Family members, in fact, in today's cartoonist interview, which is about to end, I have one more thing to announce."

That's it.

Mochizuki waved his hand gently, and the dog family on the stage also understood and nodded lightly.

Seeing that the time had come, the teacher behind the scenes made a gesture and immediately started the operation.

Almost in the blink of an eye, one of the large screens at the Comic-Con event switched to a warm-up event for the animation of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" not far away.

During the warm-up event for the animation of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World", one of the large-screen paintings was switched to an interview with the cartoonist——

At this moment, two completely different stages were completely connected through a fantasy screen video connection method!

".......what?"

During the warm-up event for the animation of "re0", Yu Tsugawa, who was wearing a shark hood and doing a backflip, thinking that he would continue to suffer for a long time, was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

I didn’t expect that I could actually see Mochizuki on the other side through the big screen. Shark monster teacher Dayu raised the microphone slightly dully:

"...What is this?"

And Tsukawa Yu's reaction was almost exactly the same.

President Miki, who had been squatting nearby and carefully observing the live activities, suddenly became confused.

Looking at the man holding a microphone on the big screen, Mochizuki, who was currently in another venue, subconsciously thought that there was a technical error in the exhibition. He quickly stood up and wanted to go behind the scenes to urge rapid strategic adjustments——

However...when they saw Miki Kazuma arriving, the people behind the scenes just waved their hands gently:

"Sorry, President Miki, this is not a bug, but an instruction from that adult."

".......What did you say?"

Hearing such a baffling response, Miki Kazuma's expression was extremely confused for a moment.

That adult...who is that?

.......Wait a moment.

for no reason.

Miki Kazuma seemed to have thought of something outrageous in his mind.

..... It couldn't be that kid's fault, right?

A certain figure of a naturally mentally ill person appeared in the back of my mind, and I thought about what Tsugawa Yu once told me, "Mochizuki Ri has a plan for a long time."... Looking at this fantasy video link scene in front of me, , the president of Chichi Bunko, who has been in the light novel industry for decades, is completely speechless.

.... Could it be that all these bizarre operations were planned in advance by Mochizuki?

There was no reason in his mind, and Miki Yima's mentality at the moment was also quite subtle.

But...since even the people behind the scenes have said so, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as I thought.

Next, let's take a good look at how things will develop...

While thinking about this, the middle-aged president held his chin and watched the situation nervously.

At this moment, let’s temporarily shift our perspective away from the three trees and one horse.

I didn’t expect that the picture on the big screen would change. Audience friends who originally thought they would not be shocked anymore, their heads were buzzing at this moment——

"What kind of picture is this?! What's going on on the other side!!"

"It's an event on the other side! If I remember correctly, it seems to be a warm-up for the light novel animation... My friend also said that there was only a shark monster over there doing backflips and reading the script."

"I understand the truth... So what does this mean? Why is the big screen at the venue showing the activities on the other side? Is this some kind of novel bug?!"

"...This is not a bug."

Picking up the microphone, the young man stood up gently, walked to the stage step by step, and responded to the doubts of his fans:

"This is a picture of the other side of the event, and it is also a small easter egg before the signing."

The moment I heard Mochizuki Ri say these words.

Audience friends who originally thought that they would be less likely to be confused today also made surprised sounds at this moment:

"what?!"

"Easter egg link? Do you mean this video connection? What does this mean... Is Teacher All going to link up with Teacher Mermaid?!"

"Holy shit! The two chefs are ecstatic! Teacher Mermaid and Teacher All are both my favorite authors and cartoonists!"

After more than ten seconds, the atmosphere on the court was brewing.

The cheers from the audience for the collaboration between All and Mermaid seemed to be getting more and more enthusiastic:

"Linkage! Linkage! Linkage! Linkage!"

But, obviously, things are not as simple as they thought.

"........"

Looking at the enthusiastic audience in the audience, Mochizuki was silent for a moment and then slowly raised the microphone:

"Um, dear viewers of the two events, theoretically all and mermaid will not be linked, sorry."

"what?!"

Audience friends who had not understood that Mochizuki was suddenly connected to the two event venues without linkage were also completely confused at this moment.

However, it was also at the moment when no one had reacted.

The young man cleared his throat and said:

"What happens next may be unexpected, but please be mentally prepared -"

"The first thing: Actually, the backflip shark man at the exhibition is not a real mermaid, but a well-connected stand-in for him."

"what?!"

At this moment, the audience in the audience was completely shocked by a curly-haired boy with an unusual way of thinking:

"How is that possible! Is there someone else who is the real mermaid teacher?"

"No, isn't that shark geek who came on stage and read from the script, and is now answering questions from fans, not the mermaid teacher who wrote "Life in a Different World from Zero"?! I feel like I've been cheated!"

"...Wait a minute! Damn it, that's true - that shark monster never said that he was a mermaid, it was just because the event preview said that the author would attend the animation pre-event, and he wore He wore a shark headband and read the script to thank fans for their support, so many people think he is the author of the original work... Good guy, if you think about it this way, it turns out that we have been fooled around all this time?!"

"Holy shit! What's going on!! Who is the real mermaid teacher?!"

In an instant, there was a roar of people, and there was considerable suspicion and shock from all directions!

Faced with such a situation, Mochizuki seemed to have expected it, and gently raised the microphone:

"It seems that everyone is curious about where the real light novel author is, right?"

"right!!!"

During the video connection, fans of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" roared enthusiastically!

And perhaps it was precisely because of the enthusiastic response from the venue opposite that all the fans at the cartoonist interview event were completely aroused at this moment.

At this point, listening to the voices of monkeys in the audience, Mochizuki also said:

"Okay, since everyone is curious about where the missing light novel author is... In that case, let's find out the real mermaid teacher - I heard that the real mermaid teacher is hiding in This cartoonist interview stage is on."

"it is good!!"

Completely driven by the crazy temperament shared by some kind of mermaid, all, and sloth fish, the audience of the two events focused all their attention on the boy at this moment——

They just watched Mochizuki holding the microphone and walking towards the seats arranged on the stage, their hearts pounding:

"Are you a mermaid?"

The boy pointed the microphone at the host Yusuke Tazaki.

"........I'm not."

The host, Mr. Tasaki, who has been turned against the guest and turned against the host, now doesn't know what to do except shake his head.

"Okay...are you a mermaid?" The boy pointed the microphone at Kasumi Takegami again.

"Of course not." The dog-eyed girl responded with a smile.

“I see—then the editors are mermaids?”

"Definitely not!"

"...That's it, that's really weird."

Mochizuki scratched his head pretending to be confused, and Mochizuki showed some embarrassment:

"As far as I know, the mermaid teacher is among the five people on the all cartoonist interview stage. Since the host Mr. Tasaki, the editor-in-chief Takegami, and the assistant Guolicheng all said that they are not mermaids, then why are they still there? Who is the remaining mermaid?”

That's it.

The audience in the audience seemed to have finally realized something and let out a shocked cry.

"...It seems that everyone has the answer."

The young man smiled softly and asked:

"Viewers, who do you think is the mermaid?"

Then, he pointed the microphone under the stage.

And in this moment.

Earth-shaking shouts rang out from the two stages where events were being held:

"Could it be...that you are a mermaid?"

"...That's right."

After receiving such a series of responses, the young man showed a quite clear smile:

"I am a sloth fish, all, or a mermaid - these three identities combined make me a complete Mochizuki. Thank you very much for your continued support..."

"?!"

Audience friends who were shouting just now that Mochizuki Ri was the author of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" all made quite surprised noises when the truth about their idol was revealed and all the vests were exposed——

In an instant, the audience was in a commotion, with confusion and shock filling the two venues. Only the audience friends who were so confused that they were completely unaware that things would develop like this, and several seniors who were closely related to Mochizuki were left.

And it is precisely because of Mochizuki's amazing hand-tearing vest operation.

The online live broadcast room of the two activities, cartoonist interview and animation warm-up, instantly seemed to explode, with colorful barrages flying:

"No, we were just joking... is it true!!!"

"My favorite up-and-coming cartoonists, singers, and light novel writers are all this curly kid...? How is that possible!!!"

"Let me go. Before, everyone was just joking about whether these three people are mentally ill and came out of the same hospital - but are these three really the same person like you?!"

"Impossible, I must be dreaming, I must have grown up...Haha, Master Dao, I am done???"

"???What the hell, what kind of god is this! It can actually bring together the power of the three phases to have such a great impact on the industry, whether it is composing music, comics, or even light novels, it has such a superior record... ..He is definitely the most outrageous monster in the ACG industry in the past ten years!!!”

"Tear off the vest with your hands, the real God of War! Today I would like to call Mochizuki the strongest!"

..........

Too much is too much.

No one could have imagined that this naturally curly boy would actually publicly expose his vest and identity directly in an interview with the cartoonist, directly raising the popularity of the two events to an unprecedented level——

"Is this really human..."

Looking at the soaring live broadcast room data and the increasingly shocked audience, a large amount of cold sweat rolled down Miki Kazuma's forehead unconsciously, and his expression was unprecedentedly complex.

He raised his head and looked at Mochizuki on the other side of the big screen. As if he was vaguely aware of something terrible, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"How dare you reveal your identity as a light novelist in Jump's official manga artist interview event... This guy doesn't want to promote the animation of "re0" remotely -"
