Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"Yes." Luo Tian agreed and looked at Makinohara Shoko who was holding the kitten, and said, "Makinohara-san, let's have breakfast together."

"Eh? No thanks, I..."

"Goo..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a slapping sound from her stomach, causing Makinohara Shoko to blush instantly. She lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look directly at Luotian.

"It seems that your stomach is more honest than your mouth." Luotian took two steps forward, put his hand on the top of Makinohara Shoko's head, and gently stroked her beautiful dark blue hair.

"I'm...I'm sorry..." Shoko Makinohara apologized shyly.

"Since your stomach is protesting, don't force it. Come on." Luotian held Makinohara Shoko's shoulders and led her to the dining table.

"Makinohara, come and sit down." Sakurajima Mai, who was serving porridge to everyone, called out.

"Sorry...sorry to bother you..." Makinohara Shoko walked over nervously, and at Kaya's signal, sat next to Hinamichi.

"Shoko, make sure you eat enough!" Hinamichi called cutely while holding a spoon, and then she picked up a fried dough stick and handed it to Shoko Makinohara.

"Thank you..." Shoko Makinohara took it somewhat flattered. Looking at the fragrant fried dough sticks in her hand, she didn't know how to eat it for a moment.

"Young Master, please sit down too." Feiju walked out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand. On the plate were a few fried eggs and some browned fried fish.

"Wow! Feiju can also make breakfast!" Luotian was surprised.

"Young master, this is what I asked Mai to make. Please try it." Feiju picked up a fried fish from the plate and handed it to Luotian, full of anticipation.

"Wait a minute, I haven't washed up yet." Luotian took the fried fish and put it on the plate, then got up and walked to the bathroom.

The time came to half past one in the afternoon.

Kitagawa Umi and Inuisa Suzuha arrived one after another.

"Senior Mai, long time no see!" Kitagawa Umi walked up to Sakurajima Mai with surprise and gave her a big hug.

"Um...it's been a few days since we last met..." Sakurajima Mai was a little overwhelmed by Kitagawa Umi's enthusiasm and her reaction was a little slow.

"Student Shouye, are you the only one here? Where is Xinshou?" Luotian asked curiously.

"Xin Shou is making preparations at home." Qian Sha Shouye said.

"Is that so..." Luo Tian thought, "Come with me and try on the clothes."

Afterwards, several people came to the workshop on the second floor.

"Wow!" Kitagawa Umi's eyes lit up, and she looked around the COS costume, "It's exactly the same!"

"I really didn't find the wrong person, Luotian." Qian Shashouye touched the COS costume excitedly.

"Don't be too quick to praise it, just take it down and try it." Luotian said.

"I can't wait any longer!" Kitagawa Umi shouted, and couldn't wait to start changing clothes.

then

Luotian was pushed out by Sakurajima Mai again.

"What's going on..." Luotian leaned against the wall speechlessly, listening to Kitagawa Kaimeng's exclamation from inside.

A few minutes later, the door of the workshop opened, and Sakurajima Mai pulled Luotian over with a look of something wrong on her face.

"Luotian, are you sure there's nothing wrong with Haimeng's clothes? Why isn't she wearing pants?" asked Sakurajima Mai.

"I didn't do anything wrong. She's a magical girl after all." Luo Tian took out his phone and found a picture of the original character Nikaidou Nene to show to Mai Sakurajima. "Mai, look, the clothes in the original picture are all transparent, but what I made is thickened to make the skirt look opaque. I chose purple-black corsets to avoid transparency."

"It's indeed different." After looking at the original picture, Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly and asked in a low voice: "Luotian, what kind of pants is Haimeng wearing? They look too small."

"Those are high-waisted swimming trunks that Kitagawa Umi bought at the import counter. They're not cheap." Luotian replied.

"Really..." Sakurajima Mai just felt a little bitter.

"Luotian Luotian! Look! It's so great!" Kitagawa Umi posed happily, looking beautiful and funny.

"It really fits." Luo Tian praised her and looked at Qian Sha Shouye who had just changed into her outfit but still had a dull look on her face. "How about it, Shouye, are you satisfied?"

"Amazing..." Qian Sha Shouye's eyes sparkled like water, and he said excitedly: "The size is perfect, great!"

"The size is right...what about the movement of the joints? Will it feel crowded?" Luotian asked seriously.

"Yes! No problem at all!" Qian Sha Shouye said confidently.

"That's good." Luo Tian nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, the hem of the skirt should be stretched out about 70 degrees. You have a ballet skirt, so I didn't modify it."

"Well! I will install it when the shooting starts." said Inui Sha Shouye.

"Then the problem is almost solved. Let's put on the cloak and try it out." Luotian suggested.

"Okay." Inusha Toshiba walked forward, picked up the cloak and put it on. Her small body was covered by the cloak, giving her a bit of the aura of the darkened Nikaidou Shion.

"How does it feel?" Luotian asked.

"Great!" Qian Sha Shouye touched the material of the cloak, and the smooth feeling flowed through her fingertips, just like touching silk. "The cloak looks a bit heavy, but it is actually very elegant. It is easy to show elegant and dynamic movements when taking pictures. There are also beautiful patterns on the inside, which is really nice."

"That's good." Luo Tian raised his head slightly, looked at Kitagawa Haimeng who was thinking something with shining eyes, and asked: "Kitagawa-san, how do you feel about your costume? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Eh? Um... no!" Kitagawa Umi came back to her senses and said excitedly: "This... that... this part feels tight.

"If you don't wear it like this, it won't be tight."

"The thing on my shoulder feels inexplicably good, it feels great!"

"Those are tasseled epaulettes, which convey a sense of solemnity."

"And the skirts are super helpful too!"

"I used two layers of tulle fabric to overlap the skirt, which makes it easier to shape."

"Yeah! All in all, it's super awesome!"

Kitagawa Umi nodded seriously, but actually...

Wow! There are so many technical terms, I don’t understand them at all, but it feels so cool!

"It's better not to force yourself..." Inui Sha Shouye complained.

"That's good." Luo Tian smiled and said, "Then the next step is to put on makeup and see the overall effect. If there is something wrong with the clothes, I can fix it before the COS."

"OK! Let's start!" Kitagawa Umi looked at the sky with anticipation.

"Mai-san, please help Shouye-san with her makeup."

"Ok."

Afterwards, Luotian skillfully tied up Kitagawa Umi's hair, covered it with a hairnet, and then used eyebrow tape to change the shape of her eyes. He then applied foundation, adjusted the base color, and finally applied powder.

"You are really skilled at makeup." Sakurajima Mai looked at Luotian. She was a little surprised by his skillful technique.

"This is all acquired through practice." Luo Tian explained, "When making puppets, we also have to do makeup. We have been doing this for four or five years, so I am quite familiar with it."

"So that's how it is. I almost forgot." Sakurajima Mai suddenly realized.

A few minutes later, the three looked at Kitagawa Umi.

"Okay, done." Luo Tian said with a smile.

"It's pretty good." Qian Sha Shouye agreed.

"Luotian's makeup skills are really amazing." Sakurajima Mai exclaimed.

"Thank you for your hard work. Can you give me a mirror?" asked Kitagawa Umi.

"Here." Sakurajima Mai picked up the small mirror on the table and handed it over.

"3Q!" Kitagawa Umi took the mirror expectantly, her calm demeanor suddenly changed, and she shouted, "No way! No way! It turns out that I... It turns out that I am Nikaidou Nene from Black Lobelia!"

"No way! Stop daydreaming!" Gan Sha Shouye complained.

"Student Mai, what do you think?" Luotian asked.

"Yeah, it feels very beautiful." Mai Sakurajima gave a pertinent answer.

"Wow! I'm really looking forward to the day when we go out on a tour!" Kitagawa Umi shouted happily.

"By the way, Luotian, I have to go to the office later to tell them what we discussed yesterday." Sakurajima Mai said.

"Okay, will you come back in the evening?" Luotian asked.

"Okay, I'll buy the ingredients." said Sakurajima Mai.

"Call me when the time comes, and we'll meet at the supermarket." Luo Tian thought.

Chapter 202: Blatant Poaching

Half past three in the afternoon.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Luotian, Miss Ryoko is here to pick me up. I'm going out." Sakurajima Mai said this while looking at the incoming call on her mobile phone.

"Okay, I'll go out with you." Luotian said.

"Don't you still have to help them remove their makeup?" Sakurajima Mai turned around and looked at the two women in the studio.

"Don't worry." Luo Tian also turned around and looked into the workshop, "Kitagawa-san's role play hasn't finished yet, don't worry."

"That's true..." Sakurajima Mai glanced at Kitagawa Umi, then went downstairs with Luotian.

Arriving outside the store, the two walked towards the black nanny car.

"Mai, did you forget something at the office?" The driver's window rolled down, and the short-haired woman wearing glasses asked in confusion.

"It's about my boyfriend and me. I want to go back to the office to explain my decision." Mai Sakurajima said politely, "Ms. Ryoko, I'm sorry to have you come here during your break."

"It's okay. Has Mai made up her mind?" Miss Ryoko asked.

"Well, it's decided." Sakurajima Mai smiled and said, "We should reject such a proposal."

"Well, Mai understands... eh?!" Miss Ryoko looked at Mai Sakurajima in astonishment and repeated in disbelief: "Refuse... Refuse?!"

"That's right." Luo Tian took a few steps forward and said, "Mai-san has never been an idol who is forbidden from dating. The reason why she is so outstanding is entirely due to her hard work and strength. She doesn't need the setting that the agency thinks."

"But...if negative news is exposed, it will affect Mai's future!" Ms. Ryoko said seriously, "And this has been proven by many popular idols with their own experiences."

"Don't you recognize the facts?" Luo Tian shook his head, and suddenly felt that this woman was a little stupid, but still reminded her: "Mai-san's excellence is simply incomparable to those idols who became famous through scandals, connections, and selling body parts."

"As Mai's manager, you should understand these principles and know how capable Mai is, right?"

"Although it's true, it will have some impact. After all, Mai's career is just on the rise." Miss Ryoko said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about these." Luo Tian shook his head slightly and asked, "Ms. Liangzi, how much is your salary?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Miss Ryoko looked at Luotian in confusion.

"Ms. Ryoko, just tell me, I'm curious too!" Sakurajima Mai agreed with a smile.

"Well... okay." Ms. Ryoko glanced at Mai Sakurajima and said, "Actually, as a manager, I don't make much. With bonuses, it's only 350,000 yen a month."

"..."

"so little?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at Miss Ryoko in surprise.

"It's not too little, at least we can save some." Miss Ryoko said with a smile.

350,000 yen

A little more than Nanjo Fumika's salary, but only a little...

It seems that it is very easy to poach people...

Luotian thought about it in his mind and soon made up his mind.

"Ms. Ryoko, are you interested in coming to work for me?" Luotian said.

"What? Work?" Miss Ryoko subconsciously glanced at the shop sign behind Luotian. Suddenly, a lot of related news she had heard emerged in her mind. She knew that the dolls sold here were extremely popular. One doll could easily pay for two or three months' salary. It could be said to be a truly high-profit commodity.

"That's right." Luo Tian crossed his arms and said, "Work is to do your old job."

"My main job? Agent? Do it for you?" Miss Liangzi asked three questions in a row, staring at Luotian with wide eyes.

"No, I'm still Mai's agent, but I work in my office." Luo Tian said with a smile.

"Your firm?" Miss Ryoko muttered in confusion.

"That's right!" Luo Tian raised his head proudly and said, "I'm about to open an office, and it will be established in the next few days."
