A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 513 For the joy that makes my soul tremble

If the previous serialization order of the comics "One Punch Man" and "My Hero Academia" did not attract much attention from readers, then in the new issue of the weekly magazine, the two comics just swapped their positions and still maintained the serialization order of one after another, which would naturally make readers notice it!

The reason why they deliberately used such a sequence for serialization, perhaps the weekly editors wanted readers to directly compare the two comics when observing the comics?

For such an arrangement by the weekly editors, Yoshida and Yujiro, two very responsible editors, revealed the intention of the weekly editors to the cartoonists they were responsible for in a very tactful way. However, whether it was Makoto Takahashi or Eiji Niizuma, they both adopted an attitude of [acquiescence] and [ignorance] for such behavior of the weekly editors!

"Huh? Regarding this kind of behavior from the weekly editorial side? That's right! Although those insignificant ants on the editorial side dared to plot against me, this really makes me angry..." This kind of crazy way of speaking... Needless to say, you can tell that this is the scene of a middle school cartoonist replying to a responsible editor! "But seeing that the group of ants tried so hard to put on such a poor performance to please me, I will mercifully not pursue the offense! Humph!"

"Should I say [We are grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty] now?" Yoshida stared at Takahashi Makoto with a long face, and wanted to be venomous, but when he thought of the results of the reader survey on the new serial "One Punch Man" that he saw before the new issue of the weekly magazine was released, he couldn't help but slow down his tone and sighed to Takahashi Makoto with some regret, "Originally, the first episode of the new serial was the best chance to win the first place! Unfortunately, this time, six new comics were serialized at the same time, and finally the first episode of "One Punch Man" was ranked second with a slight disadvantage... Tsk , Ah Cheng, you are just asking for it! "

"Tsk! My beloved cat, the serialization of the comic "One Punch Man" has just started, right? It seems that the issue of the weekly magazine released yesterday only published the content of the second episode of "One Punch Man"! And..." Takahashi Makoto glanced at Yoshida with disdain, and continued to lower his head to complete the comic manuscript, "Is the first place really that easy to get? Humph! Even as a time traveler, I dare not underestimate the humans in this world. My beloved cat... Where did you get the courage to ignore everything? As an owner, I don't remember ever educating you to have such an arrogant personality! "

"..."So Yoshida, you are completely courting death by mocking Takahashi Makoto with [Your own fault]! Yoshida, who was strongly [counter-complained] by a certain middle school cartoonist, seemed unwilling to continue to be so miserable, so he took the initiative to use the skill of [Topic Change]! "By the way, Cheng, are you really not worried about the future performance of "One Punch Man"? You know, Eiji Niizuma's "My Hero Academia" is... Hey, Cheng, what's with that look in your eyes?"

"Every time I see Seiji's chess skills improve, or Rin shows his talent in "Magic", I, who am not good at speaking, always use my eyes to encourage the children..." Takahashi Makoto, who suddenly switched to the "good father" mode, suddenly sighed with melancholy, "After all, as a creature who is not good at expressing emotions, when seeing the growth of children, I don't know how to express my gratification, so... so... so I can only secretly pay attention to my children from the side!"

"So, Cheng... don't stare at me with the eyes you look at Seiji and Rin! I'm not your child!" Although Takahashi Makoto's tone and demeanor at this moment perfectly interpret a father who is "not good at speaking but very caring for his children"... but the target is wrong, right? Yoshida said that he was just the editor-in-chief, not a child of a certain chuunibaku manga artist!

"Tsk, my beloved cat, you are discriminating! Absolutely discriminating!" Takahashi Makoto put down his brush, clenched his fist and waved at Yoshida... A certain chuunibaku manga artist turned on the crazy [cute] mode! "In a sense, the owner can be regarded as a parent! But as a male, I naturally can't be a mother!"

"Uh... stop talking nonsense here, Makoto!" Forcefully changing the topic when you can't argue... Yoshida, your clumsy method is really childish! "In the weekly magazine published yesterday, the editorial department deliberately put the comic "My Hero Academia" before "One Punch Man"... Ah Cheng, you already understand the reason?"

"Yeah, they want to encourage me and the King of Black Flame to fight each other, and give the other new series a chance to develop..." Although he wanted to continue to make Yoshida angry again, after hearing Yoshida start talking about this topic, Takahashi Makoto could only regretfully postpone his behavior of gaining pleasure, and followed Yoshida's topic, "But my beloved cat, before discussing this issue... are you sure you have read the content of the second chapter of the comic "One Punch Man" carefully?"

"Of course! Of course I have read it carefully!" Yoshida, the panic in your eyes... has completely betrayed you!

"Hmm? Really?" Makoto Takahashi narrowed his eyes and looked at his editor-in-chief, revealing a sinister smile, and asked sinisterly, "Then my dear cat, please tell me what the name of the male protagonist is! Since you, my dear cat, have carefully read the second episode of the comic "One Punch Man", you don't even know the name of the male protagonist, right?"

"The name of the male protagonist is... uh..." Yoshida tried hard to recall the plot of the comic, but his face was pale...

"Huh? You don't even know the name of the male protagonist?" Makoto Takahashi was very happy to have successfully tricked Yoshida, "Tsk tsk tsk, my dear cat, as the editor-in-chief of the editorial side, as The elite among the elites, you don't even know the name of the male protagonist of a comic that has been serialized for two chapters? Are you really a man? Your editor-in-chief soul is crying again! "

"... Sorry, Makoto! I didn't look carefully enough!" After struggling for a moment, Yoshida sincerely apologized to Takahashi Makoto...

"Is an apology useful? Humph! My cat, do you think that an apology can undo the damage you have caused? Can the victim be resurrected after the murderer apologizes? After nature is destroyed, can an apology reset the world? The reason why this world has become so corrupt and why human beings have become worse and worse is largely because there are too many people like you! ”

“Hey, hey, hey, Cheng…”

“Thinking that an apology can pay for everything… Humans are just creatures like this after all!” Under Yoshida’s gaze of [completely hopeless], Takahashi Cheng continued his sigh without feeling, “People should not only know how to hurt each other, but also understand the importance of [bonds] and the greatness of [love]! So… it is precisely because of this that the world needs people like me to guide humans to make changes!”

“I will seriously read the second episode of "One Punch Man" again now!” Yoshida took out the new issue of Weekly Shonen Jumk from his slack bag with trembling hands. ”, with a face full of near collapse, begging Takahashi Makoto for mercy, “So, Cheng, please stop talking!”

“You only know to re-observe now? Humph! My cat, I will never forgive you before you commit suicide a thousand times to apologize!”

“I know, I know! I promise that I will read the comics carefully this time! I swear!”

After seeing Yoshida really start to observe the comics carefully, Takahashi Makoto showed a fox-like smile, lowered his head and began to draw the comics... However, this time Takahashi Makoto did not show the previous superb drawing speed. On the contrary, because most of his attention was focused on Yoshida, the speed of completing the comics has decreased a lot!

The second episode of "One Punch Man" tells the story of the bald male protagonist before he became a hero. According to the setting in the comics, it is a plot three years ago with [memories]!

Every existence that becomes a hero needs an opportunity! In order to become a superhero, in addition to having the corresponding awareness and will, you also have to pay the corresponding price, and this... maybe it is also to abide by the rule of [equivalent exchange]?

Before becoming a hero, a bald male protagonist was just an ordinary person looking for a job, and he was unlucky to fail the interview again... Even after meeting a weirdo on the road, he was let go because of the other party's sympathy!

"It turns out that the male protagonist looks pretty good when he has hair! And he has a bit of a tsundere personality..." Yoshida read it very seriously this time, and read the dialogues in the comics very carefully, "He said he didn't want to save the ugly kid, but when he saw the crab monster was about to kill the child, he rushed out and saved the child... Uh, wait! This plot... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

After hesitating for a moment, Yoshida decisively stopped observing the comic "One Punch Man" and began to quickly flip forward the weekly magazine, and soon found the familiar scene in his memory!

"Although the way of description is a little different, but... it is indeed like this!"

"Hey, my cat, have you finished reading the comics? Seeing you so excited, have you found the name of the male protagonist?"

"No, I just found something I care about..."

"Tsk, you are really slow!"

Yoshida, who was observing the comics, naturally did not notice the almost broken smile on the face of a certain chuuni cartoonist... But according to the rules of the universe, a certain editor-in-chief did feel a chill!

The expression of my cat after knowing the truth is really worth looking forward to!

But now is not the time...

When you are hungry, you will regard the food you eat as the most delicious food...So by the same token, when I see my cat stepping into the trap unconsciously and being tricked, it is naturally the happiest time for me!

So I still need to be patient now...

For the joy that makes my soul tremble!

I thought I couldn't catch up with the update today, so I worked overtime!

[The leader moves his mouth, and the subordinates run their legs off] Now a cat finally knows the true meaning of this sentence!
