The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Although Comic1 nominally claims to be the second most influential comic exhibition in Japan, to be honest, the difference between the first and the second is often very large. In C1 exhibition, there are only individual doujin booths, and there will be no corporate booths.In other words, most of the enterprise booths are at the Character1 exhibition at the same time, and Gal is the most exhibited at Character1, which is next to Comic1, which is almost a complementary feeling.

But it was still busy when it was just launched.Under Inuyama Tamaki's strong request, Ren Amamiya took off her glasses and stayed between the positions of Kagura Nana and Shigure Hagoromo as a helper.Inuyama Yuhime is helping Parry, but she will come here depending on the situation.

It is said to be a helper, but specifically, it is to collect money, make change, and hand over notebooks, and occasionally do some work such as pouring water for Kagura Nana and Shigure Yuyi who are unable to get rid of their bodies.

However, Ren Amamiya thinks that Inuyama Tamaki is a bit exaggerated. Even if the colleagues of Kagura Nana and Shigure Yui are the theme of youth love, they are also masculine.Most of the people who came to the C1 exhibition were men, and Kagura Nana and Shigure Hagoromo were also beautiful girls, how could you expect him to attract customers...

"Thank you very much, Nanakagura-sensei, I have always liked the works of the teacher. That...Although it may be rude, this is my contact information, please accept it. Also, you can tell me yours name?"

......possible.

"..." Yu Gonglian looked at the slip of paper that was handed to her with both hands, with the mobile phone number, mailbox and line written on it, and felt a little awkward whether she answered it or not.

The other party was a pretty woman, and her age seemed to be in the range of college or not long after college graduation.

...So...Japanese pickup culture...

"Hi, hi! I'm sorry! Asking and exchanging contact information is prohibited." At this time, Inuyama Tamaki suddenly broke into the topic to relieve Amamiya Ren. "Please don't harass our underage junior~ This guy is very shy."

Underage!

After Inuyama Yuhime finished speaking, Amamiya Ren keenly felt that the gazes falling on her became more and more intense.

[Are you really here to rescue? ! ] Ren Amamiya stared at Inuyama Tamaki silently.

Inuyama Yuji naturally read Amamiya Ren's complaint, but she smiled at Amamiya Ren's cat mouth without any repentance, and replied him with her eyes.

[Sacrifice for righteousness! 】

Chapter 14 This is A Zhai's happiness

The period from [-]:[-] noon to [-]:[-] pm can be regarded as a time to relax.

Because the C1 exhibition will change from ticket inspection to free entry after [-]:[-] pm.

This is a good thing for creators whose books are not sold out, but it also means that the event point will become busy again.

As the most popular egg yolk teacher in the BL world - a capable artist who has participated in 1000 comic exhibitions, and will print [-] copies each time, and can sell them all, there is no such trouble. . (Note ①)

You must know that even for ordinary medium-sized or even large-handed clubs, the normal level is only 300-500 copies, which is still the result of relying on the operation of the club.Individual paintings like Eggy Yolk, without associations, can sell 1000 copies. Although they are not active but are fan cartoonists, they can be called super popular.

It can even be said that if Shishi, Kaoru Samura and Miki hadn't brought some helpers to help him, the front of the egg yolk stand would have been chaotic due to too many people.

In one morning, Egg Yolk had already sold more than half of his fanbooks.

At the same time, thanks to the fact that the danmei master is next door, there are many more female guests at Ren Yugong's side than expected.

Among the female readers who came to buy manga, fans who sincerely like the works of Kagura Nana and Shigure Yuroi naturally accounted for the majority, but there were also a few who came purely for Ren Amamiya.Therefore, although the degree is not large, Ren Amameiya has indeed contributed to a small part of the turnover as Inuyama Tamaki wished.

During the period from twelve o'clock to one o'clock, the sales of fanbooks are basically saturated, and those who have goals have basically bought their goals, or missed them because they were sold out.Even if you still want to buy something, you are just wandering around and browsing the stalls.

Therefore, there was a short rest time for no one in front of the stall on the egg yolk side at this point in time.

Unlike egg yolk and Mr. Qiao Nataro, who are well-known in the industry to a certain extent, the most famous Inuyama Tamaki at the Manyan Club did not publish a book this time, while Kagura Nana and Parry are more based on The direction of the illustrator is famous rather than the manga artist, Shigure Yuyi is a newcomer (16 years old [emphasis]), so the core fans are not as many as the other two sides, and the business is slightly worse.

But I have to say that the popularity of passers-by at the Manyan Club is very good, so although the business is not as hot as Egg Yolk and Qiao Nataro, there are always a steady stream of passers-by attracted.

During the moment when Eggy Yolk took a break, Manyan Club was still busy.

"What's wrong?" Eleven asked beside him.

"It's nothing, I feel that the atmosphere over there is very good!" Egg Yolk sighed.

"I heard from Mr. Supervisor that he seems to be a partner of the school club." Eleven told the information he heard while chatting with people.

"School club... manga... that's great! A club with such an atmosphere." Eggy Yolk revealed a longing look.

"Indeed, it's much better than the scumbag club you stayed in that was only allowed to draw what the club likes!" Eleven nodded and said very straightforwardly.

"Hmm... don't remind me of such things!" Eggy Yolk's complexion instantly collapsed, showing an expression as if he had eaten a bad stomach.

On the other side, although Qiao Nataro still had customers, it was not necessary for everyone to be in a state of preparation, and many people were idle.

"Huh? What's the matter? The camera." Xiao Ri had just rested for a while, and sighed old-fashionedly, and then found that the camera beside her was awkward.

"That...it's really nothing, I just think the atmosphere over there is really good! And those people's shots are so good...but they are not cosplayers, I don't know if they will ask for a photo A little rude?" The camera rubbed the camera in his hand, and explained in a low voice, a little embarrassed.

"Is that the school club for high school students next to it? That's right! It's a talented painters club full of beautiful boys and girls, like a scene that only exists in comics!" Xiao Ri said with her arms folded and her chest in a serious manner.

"...The kind of guy who is full of real atmosphere..." Haixiong who was passing by heard the conversation between the two, his reflective eyes showed a gloomy expression. "Explode!"

"Huh? Are you talking about the Manyan next to it? This is a club run by Teacher Nori." At this time, the supervisor also joined the topic and said to everyone.

"Eh?" Xiaori and Haixiong were taken aback for a moment, then looked at the supervisor in surprise and said after a while. "Supervisor-san! The seaweed man you mentioned, could it be..."

"Ah! It's that talented active-duty Tsukudani male teacher." The supervisor affirmed the unfinished guesswork of the two. "Mr. Seaweed just came to our store last week! Don't you know Haixiong?"

"What did I miss???!!!" Haixiong held his head in his hands and wailed unacceptably.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Haixiong was still howling, and the teacher also joined the topic.

It turned out that during the period just now, after the last guest was served at the stall, no one came to patronize for the time being, and the teacher was temporarily idle.

Haixiong told the teacher vividly and vividly about how he missed the Tsukudani seaweed man in the store.

"Mr. Seaweed! I got an autographed manga last time I came here!" The teacher said with a smile.

"What... what?! So teacher, have you betrayed a long time ago?" Haixiong suffered a huge blow.

"Back, betrayal or something. If you like Mr. Nori's works, you can talk to him now! It just seems to have come to an end there!" The teacher took a half step back because of Haixiong's duties, and pointed at the Manyan Club. side said.

As for the Manyan Society, Ren Yugong pushed aside to sit down, leaned back on the chair, and sighed.

"it is finally over......"

"Actually, it's only half over." Parry got next to Umiya Ren, and answered the conversation with some fatigue. "After one o'clock in the afternoon, the venue will become free to enter, and there will be a batch of new guests at that time!"

"...I just hope that there will be fewer women." Umiya Ren sighed.

"Damn it! You're clearly showing off!" Parry immediately turned his face and said. "My side is all men!"

"Isn't it natural for a male fan who sells child pornography to have no female customers?!" Ren Amamiya countered, not to be outdone.

"My drawing is clearly a cute, healthy elementary school girl!" Parry justified himself.

"Be sober, the subject matter you choose has been defined as child pornography since the original work!"

"What! Aren't these two guys still very energetic?"

Inuyama Yuhime looked at the two and sighed.

☆Appendix☆

Note ①——The original setting in the manga is that Eggy Yolk sells 10000 copies of the same person in each comic exhibition, but in fact this data is extremely exaggerated, so I rationalized it...Although 1000 copies is still Very exaggerated.

Chapter 15 Beware of Inuyama Tamaki

"By the way, Parry, how many copies did you sell this morning?"

"Sell about 100 copies, thanks to Inuyama-san!" When this topic was brought up, Parry had a smile on his face, and he seemed quite satisfied with the result. "In the afternoon, I wonder if I can sell another 50 copies? I will be satisfied with this result."

"Speaking of which, how many copies did you print this time?"

"I'm different from Kagura and Shigure. I don't have an art book or old work, so I only printed 150 copies. This is based on Inuyama-san's suggestion, in order to make my fanbook available to everyone who wants to buy it as much as possible. I bought so many copies, but I didn’t expect it to be sold out! Sure enough, on the one hand, it’s thanks to Inuyama-san’s help to promote it, and on the other hand, it’s also because "Magic" is a popular show."

"It's not so much the popular fan effect, it's better to say that child pornography is attractive. Everyone likes to find eroge elements in comics for all ages!" Ren Amamiya complained.

"I have said that what I draw is very healthy!"

"At least one-third of your fanbook is blacked out by me. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

"Where is the beautiful daily life between little girls? This is love! Yes, love!"

"Exactly!" Suddenly, Hai Xiong intervened in the conversation between Amamiya Ren and Parry.He stepped in with a rather fanatical look, and said to Parry with an expression as if he had found a comrade. "I have already read the works of Mr. Paryi. Your works are undoubtedly works full of love!"

"Exactly what you said!" At some point, Mr. Eleven from the other side of the stall also came over. "Whether it's the primary school students' ignorance of each other's emotions before, or the size, shyness, and curiosity of the adult world! Everything is just right, with a certain pink flavor and not greasy at all. It's really admirable! Teacher paryi!"

Yu Gonglian stared blankly at the two people who suddenly appeared, and was momentarily stunned.

"Eh? Ah! Thank you, thank you for your support." Parry was also taken aback for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, thanked them politely, and soon chatted with the two of them.At the same time, he also took the time to say to Yu Gonglian. "See, this is official, the feedback given by readers!"

No, no, no matter how you think about it, you can only understand that the three of you are gentlemen.

At this moment, Parry, Haixiong, and Eleven started chatting about elementary school students, and there seemed to be some kind of strong aura released between the three of them, making Amameiya Ren unable to intervene for a while.

"Today is your first time to come to the comic exhibition from the standpoint of a seller, right? How do you feel?" the supervisor of Ma Zhigu walked over to talk to Yu Gonglian at some point.

"This... Generally speaking, it's very interesting, a very novel experience." Yu Gonglian looked over and responded politely, and then thought of what happened to her just now, showing a helpless expression. "However, it would be better if Mr. Nori can be a little more self-controlled."

"Hahahaha! For creators who have not yet achieved fame, the sale of fanbooks is a very cruel battle! Mr. Seaweed is doing his best so that the three teachers who have published the book will not regret it." The supervisor is hearty. He smiled and said so.

"But the sellers attracted by this method, they won't be happy about it." Yu Gonglian was still frowning.

"It's because you are worrying too much." The supervisor said with a smile. "Most of the people who come to the comic exhibition are still very picky. The budget is limited, and few people will buy things they don't like. Don't you also have trial readings at your booth? Even if you attract customers through tricks and gimmicks, you still have to buy them in the end." Speak with strength. In the final analysis, customers will buy because of their works, at least you should trust them more in terms of strength, right?"

"...Heh!" Amamiya Ren subconsciously recalled when he was working as a manga assistant for this group of people in the Manga Research Institute, and couldn't help laughing. "That's true. Only in terms of the quality of their works, I still have confidence in them."

"Speaking of which, it's Amamiya-kun, right? Although you're new here, I saw that everything you do here is handled in an orderly manner just now! It's amazing!"

"you flatter me."

"If possible, would you like to consider working in our store?"

"Thank you for your appreciation, I will consider it if conditions permit."

"What are you talking about?" Inuyama Tamahime casually greeted and walked over, and then handed over an energy bar to Amemiya Ren. "Do you want to eat?"

"Thank you." Yu Gonglian was not polite, took it, unpacked it and ate it.

After a short break at noon, there are still three hours left for the comic exhibition in the afternoon, and I still need to replenish some energy to continue for three hours.Usually this is done with energy bars, compressed biscuits and water.At the same time, pay attention to the intake, after all, you may not know how many people line up at the toilet door.

"By the way, Amamiya-san~ Nana-chan and Hagoromo-chan's doujinshi and drawing collections have sold more than 300 copies! The battle was a great success."

"...Battle..." The corners of Yu Gonglian's eyes twitched, "You guys succeeded, but I am physically and mentally exhausted."

"Don't say that! Didn't I help you block all the tangled exceptions?" Inuyama Yuji said with a smile.

"By the way, do you want to instill in others the image of me being a minor, conservative, and easily shy?" Ugonglian asked ungratefully.

"Hey! You didn't tear me down on the spot, did you? Don't we cooperate very well?" Inuyama Yuji was not ashamed, but proud. "Speaking of which, Yugong, I just thought of a brilliant idea!"

"Please stop here, I don't want to hear it." Amamiya Ren stepped back half a step vigilantly, the so-called brilliant idea of ​​Inuyama Tamaki would definitely not be good news for him.

"Don't be like this~ Can you bear to see that the works that Nana Yuyi Pali and the others have worked so hard to sell cannot be sold?"
