“Yeah. Fine. And from what I’ve seen, it’s fun enough. And the events that affect it are negligible.”

“·················ogue.”

“But again, it can be hard to find for the general public. So, I think it would be better to write an article about such a situation, even if it is not long.”

“I see. I can’t understand the details just by listening to your story.”

“Of course, I want to write the article myself.”

The editor’s expression quickly brightened.

I would like to do it properly since it was an idea from a busy Jiro, but it would be best if the person in charge and the person who came up with the idea writes it down.

“Thank you for doing that. But I’d love to hear more details. Hearing your story makes me more curious.”

“Okay.”

Immediately, Jiro pulled out a copy of the Dark Princess manuscript and started explaining the hidden scene.

In fact, after he found the scene on his own, he immediately called Yoon-Hwan Lee.

As expected, Lee Yoon-hwan explained the specific plans for the two works, and he confirmed the fact that his thoughts were not wrong.

However, he did not forget to explain in moderation as the person in charge.

Even if the other person is the editor, I’m cautious about giving out too much information in advance. As the person in charge, the security of the story is also an important issue.

Anyway, the editor was impressed after hearing the rough story.

“Is it a direct connection with Samsara? I think this will really work.”

“Yeah. That’s what I expect too. And the story writer teacher called this an Easter egg.”

“Easter eggs? what is that?”

“It means Easter Egg, which means to find the hidden egg, which means to find the hidden thing. You say it started as a game term. Actually, I’ve never heard of the term Easter Egg before.”

Jiro smiled awkwardly.

“Easter Eggs……. I like how it looks somehow. And what about the event?”

“This is the first time, so finding the hidden Easter egg may feel unfamiliar to readers. So, in the first place, it’s kind of an event to find an Easter egg. Of course, we give gifts to people who write the meaning of the postcards together.”

“Oh, that’s fine. Anyway, after the Dark Princess serialization was confirmed recently, a sponsor from the plastic model side was attached. I’ll try to get as much out of it as possible.”

The editor takes notes while listening to Jiro’s ambitious appearance. Then he immediately clasped his palms together and smiled.

“Okay, let’s leave the knight to you. But I can’t give you more than three days because the book has to be published soon. So please hurry up.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

Follow me.

Follow me.

Follow me.

From the afternoon of the day Big Hero was published, the phone to the editorial department of Big Hero did not stop ringing.

“Yeah. For details, see the article.”

“I give you a present. Yes.”

“Yeah. It’s a reader’s postcard attached to a magazine.”

“It’s like finding hidden objects. Yes Yes. of course. Yes. You can send it as a postcard.”

The staff were distracted by the ringing phone calls.

The editor-in-chief burst into laughter as he saw the phone ringing to the extent that the editorial department’s work was paralyzed.

“This event is a huge success. Obviously, Akagi is a great friend.”

When he said that, the assistant editor sitting next to him smiled and nodded his head.

“Yeah. This event seems to raise the awareness of Big Hero. These days, magazine sales are low, so famous cartoonist teachers ended the series without saying a word, so the atmosphere was messed up.

“Of course. Perhaps talented newcomers will also start to come to our magazine?”

“I guess so. That’s the most important issue. This is because a talented rookie is more important than ever. Like the Dark Princess.”

“right. Oh, and through Akagi-kun, you should find out some gifts for the drawing and story writer teachers. I am also writing a letter to ask for your best wishes in the future. Don’t send anything clumsy. got it?”

“Yeah. Okay.”

At the words of the deputy editor, the editor nodded his head with satisfaction.

“It’s a shock. How did you come up with all this?”

“Yeah. No wonder you’ve done your best to hide it in a cartoon like this.”

“This is not the end. I don’t know what will appear in the comics to come. There may be something hidden in the scenes you see now.”

“This, I don’t think I can skip any scenes anymore.”

“Because I’m full of confidence. You think this way, it’s really amazing.”

The Samsara Research Society reunited in an old two-story apartment building after a long absence.

Originally, it was a meeting that was supposed to meet once a month, but due to an event article published in Big Hero, the meeting was hastily reunited after 10 days.

“It’s a bit disappointing for an article like this from our point of view. I would have figured it out eventually.”

“Hey, we’re the original research group, so it’s natural, but ordinary readers are different. If you don’t tell us, you won’t know for the rest of your life.”

“Well.”

“By the way, I think finding this in the future will be a great pleasure, right?”

“That’s right. It was also mentioned in the article here. In the future, there will be a huge amount of Easter eggs in the manga, do you know? Will there be a prize for those who find many Easter eggs around the end of next year?”

To that, the meeting colleagues responded.

“That’s right. So, why not bet on who found how many each time we get together?”

“Oh, that’s good.”

“If it’s a bet, what do you have to bet on?”

“Is that important? We’re not even gamblers.”

“Yes.”

A few people giggle.

“If such an event were to be held, it would be interesting too. How about sending it as an opinion? Did you say that Samsara and Dark Princess are in charge of the same thing?”

“Uh. My brother’s friend works at Mitsuda Shoten and he said so.”

“Oh, the connections, too.”

“I used to complain that it wasn’t a boy jump.”

“Oh, did I? Sorry, sorry.”

At that moment, a few people’s eyes focused on the man sitting in the corner and concentrating on something.

“Why is he so busy?”

“Ah, I think there will be an event called Wonder in a few days.”

At those words, the man who was absorbed in the corner opened his mouth.

“Wonder Festival.”

“Oh right. Wonder Festival.”

“what is that?”

“It seems to be an event that will be held this year. A doujin event that showcases plastic models and garage kits.”

“I hadn’t heard of it, was there such an event?”

“Uh. Like Comiket, it’s a doujin-centric event, but companies like Bandai also seem to be participating. Gundam is probably the mainstream, but Godzilla models are also coming out.”



“From Gundam to Godzilla, it would be fun.”

“Then is Itsuki also participating?”

Hearing those words, he grabbed the model Mazinger Z made by a man named Itsuki and shook it.

“Of course.”

“But what is Mazinger Z, if possible, I’d do it with a Gundam.”

“That’s right. It’s out of date. That.”

At that, Itsuki groaned.

“Real robots are so real that there is no romance!”

“What are you talking about? Real robots are all the rage right now, and so are Votoms.”

“That’s right. Mazinger and Getarobo are the setting sun.”

“Noisy! Fools who don’t know romance!”

“Who’s stupid!”

After the monthly Big Hero was published, the reaction in Japan seems to be hotter than expected.

In particular, after the article about this Easter egg was published, the number of calls to the editorial department of Big Hero flooded in, so this plan is really successful.

To be honest, Jiro’s publicity article was a really good idea.

Because the world today is different from the future, if such events are not announced, there is a high possibility that they will not be known to general readers until the end of the series.

Anyway, it seems like a lot of people are applying because it’s an event with a giveaway. Shall we increase the Easter eggs to Pasiencia at this time?

Anyway, 1984 is coming to an end.

Yesterday, the 26th, it was snowing and it was a bit quaint, but by the way, since the twins are on winter vacation, they are almost living in the studio now.

Seon-hee is still hanging on to the manuscript, and Kyung-hee…

“Brother!”

He screams again and finds me.

I took a deep breath and answered.

“Why, again?”

“How about this?”

Kyung-hee came with a copy of the continuity, held it out to me and said,

Oh, come to think of it, I finally brought a copy machine into the studio a few days ago.

Copiers are not rare in Korea in this day and age, but they are not comfy enough for ordinary people to bring into their homes. Because most of them were used in places like government offices.

Well, I read the newspaper a while ago. It seems that there are quite a few social problems caused by photocopiers in this age, as college students these days even talk about ‘copy life’ by saying they use a copier to copy the notes of their classmates.

Just like the articles criticizing the social problems brought by smartphones in the future I lived in.

In any case, the copier that was brought in became the busiest item in the studio.

This is because it is being used for everything from copying various manuscripts to copying materials.

The copy story that Kyung-Hee handed out had a lot of things written in small pencils.

These are scenes that will be used as Easter eggs in the future, and I marked them with a pencil and wrote a lot of letters on them.

I did something and read it, circled the rock picture that will appear as the next Easter egg and said, ‘I prefer jewels’.

“I prefer jewelry rather than just rocks? Why?”

“Hmm, as expected, there’s something my oppa is missing even as the original author.”

“I miss you. What am I?”

“Come on, think back to the beginning of Samsara. At that time, there was a story about red and blue ore for a while. Remember that?”

It was the setting at the beginning of Samsara, but at that time there was a scene that came out as if it was passing by as an unimportant background story. Of course, if Kyung Hee hadn’t asked, I would have forgotten about it.

“But why?”

“Ugh, well. Don’t use the setting that just throws it away, why not use it here?”

Only then did he understand what Kyunghee was saying and his eyes widened.

“uh?”

Actually, I’m not a fan of settings, so I can’t elaborate on these details.

Seonhee also helps with drawing, but there are limitations as she is a professional drawing artist.

Anyway, the scene that appeared in the early days of Samsara was the same.

It was a small setting that came up to look like it was, but Kyunghee pointed it out. and how to use it.

If you use that setting, as Kyunghee said, jewels are the most appropriate.

When I made a surprised expression, Kyunghee asked with a triumphant expression.

“How? What do you think?”

This is really unacceptable.

If it wasn’t for Kyunghee, I would have made an unintentional setting hole myself.

“It’s okay. Admit it.”

“Hahaha.”

Intermittent genius.

But the problem is that it doesn’t end here.

“Oh, and I have a new idea.”

“In addition?”

The expression on my face, which had been satisfied with it, was instantly distorted.

Because the results are expected.

“The protagonist of Samsara is given a gift from unknown beings, such as an alien, or something like that.

“That’s the same as flying Superman.”

Seonhee mutters while working on the manuscript with her head bowed.

By the way, what else is superman flying? are you mead?

However, other fishermen also join in with Seon-hee.
