A middle school cartoonist

Soon after Takahashi Makoto finished talking to Uncle Ding Ding beside his assistant, Yoshida, the editor-in-chief of a certain weekly magazine, finally arrived with a lot of anger!

"Acheng, why did you instruct Yashiro Mumen and Heimaru-kun to do that?" If it were any other time, Yoshida would not dare to question Takahashi Makoto with such an attitude, but today was different! As for the fear of being retaliated by the second-year cartoonists in the future... the furious editor-in-chief said that he could not care about these things at all now! "What on earth are you planning?"

"Oh, my cat, you're just in time!" Facing Yoshida, who was like Unit-01 going berserk, Uncle Dingding, the assistant, and the girl Mashiro and the boy Sorata, who were temporarily staying at Makoto Takahashi's house, all wisely chose the option of [stepping back and keeping a distance and watching silently]. Makoto Takahashi... was not overwhelmed by Yoshida's momentum, but instead showed a happy [joyful] smile, took out his cell phone from his white coat and waved it at him, "Originally, I was planning to use the magic at the end of the magic I summoned you when I was full... I didn't expect you to show up without being summoned... Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being my chosen cat? The editor-in-chief's professionalism is great!"

"Ah Cheng, you are looking for me... Wait! Isn't this the right time?" Yoshida realized that he was almost successfully diverted by a middle school manga artist. Although he was very curious, he still maintained a gloomy expression on his face... But perhaps even Yoshida didn't realize that his originally angry tone had calmed down a lot at this moment! "Ah Cheng, don't play dumb, and don't try to change the subject... I came to you today, I think you should know the reason... I can even say that I have calculated it a long time ago, right?"

"Is it... because of that?" Takahashi Makoto tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on his face, and his eyes looking at Yoshida became a little weird, "Tsk! My beloved cat, as a man, you should be more honest! You said you want it, but your body is so humble... Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me with such hatred! I'm not euphemistically saying that you are not good at something that can't be described, I just want to tell you that as a qualified editor-in-charge, if you want to receive comic manuscripts, just say it directly, and don't be led astray by those arrogant guys in the editorial side of your weekly magazine!"

"So, I'm asking you..." Anger... That kind of invisible and ethereal existence, compared to Takahashi Makoto's new serialized comic manuscript, can only be regarded as a passing cloud at best! "Eh? Wait, Cheng, did you just say... that you were going to give me the new comic manuscript?"

"Oh, my beloved cat, you came in such a hurry today, didn't you want to get the new comic manuscript from me again?" Takahashi Makoto frowned in surprise at Yoshida's suspicious eyes and puzzled questions, "By the way, my beloved cat, are you dissatisfied with me and come to find trouble?"

"No! Not at all!" Yoshida immediately took out his usual enthusiastic attitude, and said to Takahashi Makoto in a flattering and even somewhat flattering manner, "Well, Cheng, if it's okay... can I see the comic manuscript you have completed?"

"By the way My dear cat, your request is very strange. Observing the comic manuscript... Isn't this your duty as the editor-in-chief?" Makoto Takahashi handed the sorted comic manuscript to Yoshida, "By the way, my dear cat, you seemed very angry just now... Why is that?"

"... Wait until I finish reading the comic manuscript first!" Yoshida picked up the comic manuscript with a serious face, sat on the sofa and began to observe...

After learning that Makoto Takahashi finally agreed to submit a new series and was willing to let him perform the duties of the editor-in-chief to review the comic manuscript... For some actions suspected to be instigated by Makoto Takahashi, Yoshida, who originally wanted to go to the door to ask for punishment, of course chose to forgive a certain middle school cartoonist at this time!

So, at this moment on this day, under the watchful eyes of his assistant Uncle Ding Ding and a pair of underage boys and girls, Yoshida, a well-known editor-in-chief of the weekly "Shonen Jumk", performed an annual drama called [For the comic manuscript, the so-called moral integrity is nothing but a thing outside the body]!

If it were any other time, when the assistant, Uncle Ding Ding, and others looked at him with contempt, Yoshida would definitely fight back with his two attributes of [black-bellied] and [poisonous tongue], but today... after only observing three pages of the comic, Yoshida was completely captivated by it. He can be called a veritable [quiet handsome man]!

The setting of the other world similar to that of a magician but renamed as a magician can be seen in many comics...

So when Yoshida first saw this setting, he thought that Takahashi Makoto had dug out some settings that were gradually outdated, and in his heart he had such disdainful thoughts as [I have been looking forward to this for so long, but it turns out to be this]... But until the comics began to throw out the settings of [Holy Grail War] and [Heroic Spirits], Yoshida's face changed!

First is the summoning of [Heroic Spirits]... According to the setting in the comics, it is to materialize the heroes that appeared in the legends and history of mankind in the past in the form of spirits in reality!

However, in the history and even legends of the past and present, the number of heroes praised by humans is as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river, and there are countless heroes. Any hero you list has a heroic story that is worth singing and crying... In short, if the life story of each hero is taken as the main plot, it is enough to support a novel or comic!

But now, Takahashi Makoto has gathered several heroes who can become the protagonists of comics or novels into one comic... Let alone whether the main line will collapse in the future, just arranging the plot of these [heroes] is a headache for many cartoonists!

But with the intervention of the main plot called [Holy Grail War], this is not a problem!

The [heroes] who were once famous and are now summoned as servants, and the magicians who live in the other world as the masters of [heroes], have to fight and fight around the [Holy Grail] miserably... The winner will get everything; and the loser will lose everything!

Carefully observing the comic book called "Fate" in his hand, and carefully turning every page of the comic book manuscript, although on the surface he looked like he was doing a business-like job, Yoshida's heart had already been in turmoil!

The three-chapter comic book manuscript that Makoto Takahashi gave to Yoshida, except for the summoning of the "Heroic Spirit", was mostly used to introduce the background and settings of the comic book... So after Yoshida finished reading the three-chapter comic book manuscript, his face naturally showed the kind of expression that everyone understands!

"My cat, as you can see..." Unfortunately, before Yoshida could ask a question, Makoto Takahashi directly blocked the other party, pointing at the comic book manuscript and helplessly said, "To complete such a high-quality comic book manuscript... it is impossible to use the skill of "Godspeed" as before!"

"... In other words, the rest hasn't been drawn yet?" Although he already knew the answer, Yoshida couldn't help asking... The so-called self-comforting plug-in and self-suggestion of "doing bad things will not necessarily be discovered" is talking about people like you, Yoshida-kun!

"Of course!" Ignoring Uncle Ding Ding's "I can't bear to watch anymore" and turning his head, Makoto Takahashi, who possesses the skill of "World-class Fraud", lied to Yoshida as if stating the facts...

"Tsk, that's a pity..." Yoshida did not master the skill of "Mind Reading" and did not specifically learn the advanced skill of "How to Identify Lies through Micro-expressions", so he naturally believed the lies of a certain middle school cartoonist! "Then, Makoto... can the content of the first three chapters of the comic be submitted to the serialization meeting?"

"Tsk! Do you still need to ask for instructions for such things? My cat, fight like a man!" Makoto Takahashi showed a smile called "joy" on his face, and said meaningfully, "All of us will support you, cheer you on, and... collect your body!"

If you collect my body in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to... Makoto Takahashi's comic not passing the serialization meeting! ?

However, Yoshida's doubts were soon replaced by the joy of getting a new comic series... After seeing Takahashi Makoto turn on the [Crazy Cartoonist] mode, a certain editor-in-charge chose to leave quietly with self-awareness!

Question: Yoshida-kun, didn't you come to Takahashi Makoto to ask for an explanation at the beginning of today?

Answer: When a cartoonist submits a new comic series, the editor-in-charge will choose to forgive the cartoonist's previous delays or even suspension of publication... So now that Takahashi Makoto has agreed to submit a new series, of course he will choose to forgive a certain chuuni cartoonist!

This is the judgment of a qualified editor-in-charge, not the [Steins;Gate] choice that a certain chuuni cartoonist often talks about...

Well, absolutely not!
