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

At four fifteen minutes and five seconds at midnight on Christmas Eve, the girl seemed to hear a familiar singing voice from a certain convenience store.

(It would be nice to have such a warm meal, too)

(It’s also nice to have such a warm smile.)

(Reappearing so quickly,

(Although he obviously didn’t say anything,)

(Even if it's a sentence like "It's delicious")

(It must be because of the love that involves each other, love is in it...)

"......"

The girl was stunned.

As a fan of Sloth Fish, she clearly recognized that this was the new song written by her idol for Christmas in Toyama Prefecture: "ごはんを食べよう" (Let's Eat Together).

"...I didn't expect it to be played in the streets and alleys so soon~"

"He's such a dazzling guy that no one can compare to him..."

Although the voice seemed a little frustrated.

but.......

There was an imperceptible smile on the girl's lips.

"...One day, I will also let the sloth fish sing for my TV series or movies——"

“It’s a new year, come on (?>ω<>

Concentrating on cheering for herself, the girl smiled and disappeared around the corner of the road.

......

Japan has ushered in its coldest season.

Different from the slight coolness in early December, as winter gradually deepens, frost has formed on the tree trunks of the town, and irregular ice slag has condensed on the eaves, giving it an increasingly cold atmosphere.

Risa Sakuraba drove her old Toyota Toyota, which had long lost its pure green color, back to her home—today’s Christmas Eve dinner was scheduled to be held at her home, and she naturally took over the position of chef.

In order to ensure that his sister and brother-in-law could have a bowl of steaming rice as soon as they landed, the people's teacher also tried to carry the ingredients with great enthusiasm, walked through the snow and fog, walked up the steps step by step, and opened the door to the room , I am going to start preparing tonight’s meal after taking a rest.

But the young president Gouyan, who was staying at his aunt's house, was slumped on the sofa like a little salted fish.

Seeing Teacher Sakuraba come back, the girl put down her crossed legs and her furry eyes showed joy:

"Welcome back~"

"Phew, I'm so cold..."

Gently patting the snow on her body, taking off her felt hat, Sakuraba Risa rubbed her long, slightly curly hair:

"Today is Christmas Eve... Although it's a cliché to say this, but I always feel that time flies by so fast, and it's almost a year in the blink of an eye."

"yes......."

Clearly feeling the passage of time, the little president Gouyan, who was wearing thin clothes because the heater was on in the room, nodded gently at this moment:

"If you think about it carefully, a lot of things have indeed happened this year - and they are all relatively happy things. After all, I never expected last year that I would become Mochizuki-san's assistant and help him serialize on Shonen Jump."

"...I didn't expect that guy Mochizuki to be able to have a good relationship with you."

Risa Sakuraba scratched her head in slight surprise, and Risa Sakuraba also grabbed her long hair and put a rubber band on her hand:

"I don't object to your cooperation in drawing comics and serializing them in Shonen Jump...but I can't guess what the two Jump Supremes who are coming tonight will think."

"...Hai, it's okay - let's take it one step at a time~"

Patting his head lightly, the young president of Dog Eyes also responded quite seriously at this moment:

"After all, my parents are going to meet Mochizuki-san tonight... Some things are unavoidable, so it's better to face them as soon as possible."

".......makes sense."

Understanding that although his little niece is usually gentle to others, she always has a strong opinion when it comes to such things, Sakuraba Risa didn't think much about it, and just said this meaningfully:

"Please comfort your highly stressed parents, Xiaocheng..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

Although I always feel that my mood is gradually becoming a little nervous...but thinking that my cooperation with Mochizuki should not be shrouded in the shadows, Takegami Kasumi's expression is serious, and he always shows a little lazy eyes. His eyes became more determined.

.....If you are with that guy Mochizuki, you will be fine.

After all, he is a rising star in Shōnen Jump and even the comic industry...

With considerable enthusiasm, the little president Gouyan skillfully scrolled through his phone and clicked on the news.

(The popularity of Chainsaw Man is rising! Will all become the most popular newcomer next year?)

(The peak of hysteria of the psychotic cartoonist All? A crazy and evil work that you must read! Chainsaw Man has sparked heated discussions and will become the next comic masterpiece to break the circle!)

(Chainsaw Man announced the publication of a special Christmas issue of Shonen Jump, with extra updates, and readers are hooked!)

"...Sure enough, the level of discussion is still high~"

She stretched slightly. She had been reading Mochizuki Liver Comic Manuscripts recently. The girl with some dark circles under her eyes gently patted her little head, and her voice sounded quite relaxed:

"So, the trend of "Chainsaw Man" is great, and All's current reputation has changed a lot compared to a few months ago... As long as we can prove to our parents that Mochizuki is a trustworthy normal Man, you will definitely have a good Christmas this year——"

"...That's what I'm saying, but doesn't Mochizuki Rhi occasionally act like a terrifying and mentally disturbed Ape erectus? Are you sure it doesn't matter if he's just sniping with my brother-in-law and the others?"

Thinking of the mysterious high school student who occasionally chatted with him but was quite shy on weekdays, Risa Sakuraba's expression showed a very troubled expression:

"I'm a little worried now that Mochizuki will suddenly develop cyberpsychosis when facing your parents... Xiaocheng, aren't you nervous about this?"

"Don't worry."

Shaking his head slightly, the fluffy puppy said:

"I believe Mochizuki-san - after all, we are partners."

"........All right."

Seeing her little niece's serious look, Miss Sakuraba Risa, the people's teacher of Momoyamaen who knew that she was serialized with Mochizuki Rigan manga, also gently rubbed the girl's little head at this moment:

"Hurry up and get some rest... I have to have dinner with my parents and Yueli tonight, so I can't be full of energy."

"Hey, okay."

Grinning, the dog-eyed girl slumped down on the soft sofa, her eyes slightly narrowed——

After a while, the slight snoring drifted away.

"........"

After simply tidying up the clutter at home, Risa Sakuraba scratched her head gently and thought carefully about her dog-eyed niece's reaction to Mochizuki Risa, her expression a little complicated.

........Strange, why does it feel like Xiaocheng has far more trust in Mochizuki than she imagined?

"...My little niece won't be abducted by Mochizuki, right?"

Some were muttering to themselves half-consciously. Looking at the little niece who had already turned into Nobi Haihuang and fell asleep, slumped on the sofa like a puppy, the people's teacher's expression was a little complicated.

There is no doubt that the girls who have the best relationship with Mochizuki are all filled with inexplicable joy at this moment.

........But it was obvious that Mr. Mochizuki, who was alone at home, had a slightly ugly expression.

For no other reason-

This much-anticipated reunion festival, his challenge of meeting his parents, has just begun...

91. Query the mental state of the author of "Chainsaw Man" 7k

Einstein said that time does not exist at all.

From a physics perspective, this makes sense.

Time is a subjective understanding and cognition of human beings.

From a physical point of view, time does not exist; what exists is the changing process of matter.

For example, a plant seed germinates, grows, grows, and then grows old...

This is matter changing.

In order to understand this process of change, we humans invented or recognized something, and used this thing as a scale to "record the process".

The young man has always recognized this, and even believes it deeply.

However, when the Christmas season, which symbolizes reunion and liveliness, is approaching, and Christmas Eve has arrived, Mochizuki's mentality has undergone considerable changes——

"King Crimson, delete this time quickly."

Saying this without mercy, Mochizuki, who was alone at home, sat on the floor, looking at the falling snow outside the window like a resentful sloth, feeling as if he was dead.

...Although he doesn't emotionally believe in the existence of time, nor does he believe that someone can really control the flow of time, it is obvious that the boy really doesn't want to stay in these boring and dangerous days anymore——

The four seasons rotate quickly, and the year goes by in the blink of an eye.

In recent days, Mochizuki has indeed achieved great results. Whether it is the popularity of Chainsaw Man or passing the audition for "Ultraman Tiga", it is very happy... However, when his enthusiasm cooled down and he faced the cold reality, the young man's expression turned frighteningly cold.

Kurihara's mother went back to her hometown with her parents, Teacher Dayu also had dinner with friends, and it seemed that Kaizi also went to spend Christmas with her family... Most of her friends had other things to do, but she was left alone The same situation happened again, which made the boy who finally realized what it was like to be a friend feel quite uncomfortable.

Although my parents, who travel around the world all day long, have said they want to come back, judging from the current progress, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back today to spend Christmas Eve with me.

.... Of course, if there was just no one to accompany him, Mochizuki's mood might not be so bad.

"...The worst is yet to come."

Holding the pocky gently in his mouth, he remembered the moment when the two most terrifying figures were about to arrive in Toyama County. He carefully reviewed the battle situation, and a large amount of cold sweat rolled down Mochizuki's forehead unconsciously.

In terms of time, Editor Takegami of Shonen Jump and his wife will take the train from Tokyo back to Toyama, and if nothing else goes wrong, they will visit tonight or tomorrow.By then, his relationship with Takegami Kasumi will inevitably be exposed, and the hellish plot will unfold. The biggest challenge of this year is about to come——

It's so sweet now.

Mochizuki felt very depressed every time he thought about the fact that the parents of the young president Gouyan were coming to Toyama County soon to confront him.

However, after all, there was nothing he could do to save the day... Since Mr. Dog Eyes had promised before that he would ensure his safety, and with his eager expectation for Takegami Kasumi, Mochizuki gently dialed the number. Girl's phone.

If nothing else goes wrong, this year the boy will spend time with Mr. Dog Eyes.

The call is connected.

"Hello... Takegami-sensei?"

After gently drinking the milk on the side, Mochizuki's eyes turned slightly.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Is it almost there?"

"It's almost there, it's almost there..."

A hazy voice sounded, as if teasing. The dog-eyed girl's voice was quite gentle:

"Haha, it's true - Mochizuki-san is so looking forward to coming to my house to spend Christmas Eve~"

"...No, mainly because of the current situation, I am a little scared to stay at home alone, and I need someone to cheer me up."

"...These words are really boring, Mochizuki-san."

Takegami Kasumi's voice remained the same as before. Although she had not seen her, Mochizuki could somewhat imagine that her furry eyes were showing a pretentious look of displeasure at this moment:

"I invited you to come to my house for dinner...show more excitement."

"...I'm sorry, it's mainly because I feel a little abstract right now."

Patting his head gently, Mochizuki's voice also showed a trace of ripples:

"If I stay at home to spend Christmas Eve, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death; but if I go to Takegami-sensei's house to spend Christmas Eve, if you think about it carefully, I'm actually about to confront your parents - —If I really want to be honest, I always feel like I’m not a human being.”

"...What, are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid. After all, Takegami-sensei said that it's okay to do this, and I quite trust you, teacher... But I still feel that doing this is a bit outrageous, and I always feel that I am about to offend two powerful editors. , so I’m a little worried about my career future and physical safety - if possible, I still hope that things can end well, and it will be a bit troublesome if I really can’t get off the stage..."

"Okay... So it's true for you, it's easy to say strange things when encountering this kind of thing - there's nothing to be afraid of, you're not the human body of Ultraman, how can you be so frightened? .”

".......Try Harder."

Upon hearing what the little teacher with dog eyes said, Mochizuki couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, the young man was still a little worried...but there was nothing he could do about it. Since Dog Eyes said so, there was no need to continue with all his words and thoughts.
