i lied to the whole world

If you say you want to become a manga artist, what exactly do you want to do?

During Yato's long part-time working career, quite a few of them worked as assistants for cartoonists, such as posting dots and painting borders, etc., but he is quite familiar with the workflow of cartoonists. If he is an assistant, he will be able to quickly get started.

But create a story yourself?

Yedou held a pen in his mouth, his mind was empty, and he didn't hold back a trick for a long time, so he couldn't help but look at Litao beside him.

At present, Yato's working place is in the lobby of Dahei's house, and Xue Yin is also studying at the side, the atmosphere is quite quiet, but...

One more person.

Litao was quietly reading a book, although he didn't speak, but he exuded a strong sense of presence invisibly, Yato watched and watched, and his hands moved by themselves.

"Is there something on my face?" Li Tao suddenly raised his head.

Yato quickly said, "It's nothing, nothing!"

Just a little uncomfortable.

The person who has been looking for 1000 years suddenly appeared in front of me, and said that he wanted to help him become a god remembered by others. It always felt like a dream.

Yato lowered his head, and realized that he had unconsciously drawn Litao's profile on the paper, wiped it off before he was discovered, and continued to meditate on the paper.

What story do you want to draw?

Does he have the talent to make a story popular?

These messy thoughts filled Yato's mind, and the lines on his hands became messy.

……

That night, at Dahei's house, Yato took advantage of Litao's time to go to the toilet and quietly showed the drawing to Hiyori who had just returned from school.

"What is this?" Yi Qiri looked at the drawing in front of him in confusion.

Yato: "I said it all, it's a manga."

Yiqi Rihe then lowered his head and read the manuscript again: "Once upon a time, a little rabbit was looking for his mother. After going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, he found a carrot house in the forest, where he killed his stepmother who was trying to murder him with his dancing shoes. Then came to the river to rescue a princess, but found that the princess was turned into a beast by the octopus, and the kiss of true love was necessary to wake her up."

Yato: "...how, how?"

Yiqiri and Rare felt a little hard to say: "Well, there are slots everywhere. First of all, isn't this a mixture of several fairy tales. Besides, isn't your drawing of characters very beautiful, Yatou? Why do you draw animals?"

"I don't know what to draw if I mainly draw characters. At least the animals are cute."

"That's true... Hey, but haven't you drawn drafts for me before?"

"That's what happened in reality, it's different."

"Then just draw your reality." Ritao's voice came from the side, and Yato was taken aback, "When did you come here?"

"Just now." Litao looked at the startled Yeto in confusion, "Why didn't you show me the painting when it was finished?"

"Um, this... I'm not very good at drawing." Yato hesitated, quickly snatched the manuscript from Hiyori's hand and hid it behind him, "I'll show you when I'm satisfied with the drawing later."

"Isn't that meaningless? If you're satisfied, just send it to the editor," Litao said helplessly, "And I've seen your manuscript for Rihehua before."

"Eh, eh??" Yato looked shocked at the innocent Hiyori, with an expression on his face that you betrayed the organization.

Hiyori said embarrassedly: "Because Mr. Rito will definitely want to know about Yato's past, and you haven't seen each other for so long, um, how should I say..."

"I asked her, because you need to confirm whether you have the talent to draw manga first." Litao said without changing his face. Of course, he knew that Yato draws very well, but he just wanted to confirm that the fate line from the original work is offset. how much.

Now it seems that there are not many deviations, at least the relationship with Rihe and the encounter with Xueyin have not changed, but I don't know if the plot of Yingpeng has changed.

"However, in my opinion, your story itself is very suitable for drawing comics. If you want people to remember you, it is best that the original character does not deviate much from yourself. Not only the name, but also the face and personality It’s best to be consistent, because I don’t know if this method will work.” Li Tao said gently, “Besides, the daily life of the gods is already enough to be the material for comics, and we only need to add another main line.”

Of course, even if this method doesn't work, in the end he will use Yan Ye infinite deceit to find a way to prevent Yato from disappearing.

Yato scratched his hair: "Okay, I'll try first."

three days later

Yato finished drawing another version of the manuscript, and showed it to Hiyori confidently: "How is it? I dare say this manga will become a hit!"

Hiyori took it with anticipation, and Yukine and Xiaofu came over curiously, intending to see what kind of manga Yato had drawn.

First of all, everything is normal. After school, a female high school student was hit by a car in order to save a sportsman god, causing her soul to go out of her body. The problem lies in the hospital...

Hiyori's eyes gradually turned into dead fish eyes.

[A member in the middle of the night, the girl woke up from her dream and saw a man with an extremely handsome face and a shining man behind him

"Are you really, really a god?"

"Of course, don't worry, as long as you become my believer, demons and diseases will stay away from you forever."

"Lord God!"

In this way, Ye Fighting God gained a believer. 】

Rihe pointed to the girl who was very similar to herself in the painting, but with a strange love in her eyes, and the girl who looked like a fan girl asked, "Who is this?"

"Can't you see Hiyori, of course it's you! The only designated heroine for this work!" Yato said proudly.

Xueyin turned a few pages, and finally turned to the time when she appeared on the stage.

【With Yedou God's call, the ball-shaped spirit body changed into a sword and appeared in Yedou Shen's hand with a whoosh. But I never felt fear, only a trembling joy remained in my body, being called again by name, and the artifact returned to its original appearance.

It was a blond young man wearing a deacon's attire. Under the light of his own god, he willingly lowered his head.

"From now on, I would like to follow you around for your sword."]

Xiaofu, Dahei and Hiyori pointed suspiciously at this beautiful young man whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xueyin: "Who is this?"

"Of course it's Yukine! Isn't this attribute very handsome! I've seen it, and now the comics on the market are popular with this kind of loyal dog boy." Yato's nose almost turned up to the sky.

Xueyin blushed: "...he's quite handsome."

"No, no, no, this kind of comics full of YY is not popular now!" Hiyori shook his head violently and slapped the table, "And since when have I been your fan girl? This is slandering my image! Yato, from now on your plots will be entrusted to me to check!"

"Hey, I think this is pretty good..."

Yato's protest was useless, especially after Daguro found out that Xiaofu was also obsessed with Yato in the manga, and pressed Yato to redraw with black lines all over his face, so that Xiaofu and Daiguro in the manga had a wedding...

"That's not right! Calm down, all of you!"

Hiyori tirelessly supervised Yato to redraw the normal comics, and another week passed in this cycle.

The final version of the manga was finally placed in front of Litao.

"Oh, the painting is finished?" Litao flipped through it with interest, and his expression gradually became subtle as he watched it.

It's you, Noragami!

"What, how?" Yato was a little nervous.

"Well, it's about the same as I thought."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing, as a novice, it's pretty good to draw at this level." Litao praised.

Yato and Hiyori and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They had worked hard for a week for this volume of manga, and it would be too frustrating if it didn't pass.

"Then Yato can contribute?"

"Well, it should be fine."

The content of the first volume is basically the first season of Noragami that Litao watched in his previous life, except that some details are slightly different. When he was wandering on the battlefield, he was staring at him. After defeating him once, Yeto didn't kill him directly. Afterwards, Yingbeng would come to talk to Yeto from time to time, and also tried to draw Yeto into the team of God of Fujin.

【"How much I miss the past. Human life is worthless. We wandered on the battlefield and killed the enemy to our heart's content, but why didn't you become the God of Misfortune with me? With your ability, why don't you worry about not having human offerings! "

"I'm different from you, Ying Bang."

"...In that case, let me see your killing intent."]

The subsequent plot is similar to the original novel. Yingbeng uses Hiyori's memory as a threat to force Yato to fight him seriously, and is finally defeated by Yato.

But what makes Li Tao feel a little subtle is that Nora Fei also appears in the plot.

Yeto looked away guiltily: "Then...there is always a villain in comics, right? Then as soon as I draw this, I can't help but see the image of Scarlet holding the medicinal food in my mind."

ptsd belongs to yes.

"Fei agreed?"

"Well, it seems interesting to be able to be a villain in a manga." Yato said honestly.

"That means I'm the last boss?" Li Tao joked while watching the plot.

Yato scratched his hair with some annoyance: "Not necessarily, it's just me..."

Can't tell if it's a nightmare or what.

During these 1000 years, Yato occasionally dreamed, and also dreamed about the scene when Ritao left.

The goddess covered in filth smiled and stood in the fog, very close to her father, with the corpse of a white fox under their feet.

"A stillborn artifact, a little god born from a wish..."

"Tell me, what wish was he born from?"

"If you want to make... trouble... welcome to me in hell."

Where has he been for the past 1000 years?

In Litao's ambiguous answer, Yato had already made up the answer by himself.

At the same time, an inexplicable uneasiness came to my heart.

Is he really loved?Was his birth due to some conspiracy?Father... what exactly does he want to do?

When constructing the villain in his mind, Yato almost without thinking, substituted the villain's face into Ritao, drawing him into the manga with a little uneasiness and perhaps a little temptation.

Now like this, I am anxiously waiting for his answer.

"It's very interesting. You can draw whatever you want." Li Tao looked at the drawing with admiration, and felt a sense of interlacing between dimensions from the bottom of his heart, which was quite fun.

"..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Yato shook his head, then turned his head, "Since the manuscript is finished, let's send it to the editor of a magazine, where is the best place to send it..."

In the follow-up topic, Tao did not participate in the research. Anyway, the serialization is not so fast. The real result depends on the effect of the serialization.

Yokohama on the other side

In the Armed Detective Agency, since the end of the Hyakki Night Walking incident, the detective agency has not ushered in a period of peace, but various commissions have come like snowflakes.

"Looking for missing persons in Yokohama? Can't you call the police, right? The police are too busy. I understand, so please put the power of attorney over there."

"Ah? Looking for traces of monsters, we don't accept this kind of task, please don't blindly die!"

"Want to become an onmyoji? Our detective agency doesn't accept this kind of business!"

In the past few weeks, Kunikida Doppo has visibly become irritable due to numerous and inexplicable business, and other people unconsciously slow down when they pass by his desk, as if they are afraid of touching his bad head , like Dazai is more witty, he chose to sneak away early, and by the way, he made an appointment to inquire about Husheng Xingluo.

Due to this reason, it is not easy for Kunikida to catch him back to work, but when he undertakes the business that belongs to his partner, he is a little more irritable to the naked eye.

The incident of the Hundred Ghosts at Night is over, but no one knows which side is the victory. If it is them, they have not let the black hand behind the scenes be punished. They don't even know his information. It is related to the nine-tailed fox demon from thousands of years ago.

Said to be the victory of Fox Sheng Xingluo, but in the end Yokohama did not have any major incidents. Generally speaking, the situation has stabilized.

It's just that the message he left at the end made people unable to help but pay attention.

...just an experiment... eh?

Kunikida thought about it, and couldn't help but stop writing, with a serious expression on his face.

"Kunikida-san? The phone is ringing." Nakajima Atsushi noticed that Kunikida's cell phone was vibrating when passing by with the box in his hand, and reminded him.

"...Well, thank you." Kunikida regained his senses and pressed the dial button.

"Kunikida-san? Has Ranpo-san returned to the detective agency?"

"Huh? Not yet." Kunikida glanced at the time subconsciously, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, "Didn't Mr. Ranpo go with you to solve the case, haven't you come back yet?"

"Actually, Mr. Ranpo seemed to say that he was going somewhere. I just went to buy a drink, and he got lost." Tanizaki's voice on the other side of the phone revealed deep annoyance.

Kunikida frowned slightly: "I see, we'll look for it right away, you stay where you are and wait for us."

Hanging up the phone, he sighed: "Mr. Ranpo too, where did he go at this time?"

"Ah, I'll just go." Atsushi Nakajima volunteered.

"It's okay, I just need to change my mind."

Just 10 minutes before I lost my way.

Tanizaki and Ranpo came out of the police station after completing the commission. Tanizaki said with a smile, "As expected of Ranpo-san, you solved the pile of cases in only half an hour. You have worked hard. Do you need anything to drink on the way back?"

Luanbu raised his chin triumphantly: "What is this? Of course, such a simple puzzle can't trouble a famous detective. You don't need to drink..."

His words stopped suddenly, and he stared thoughtfully at the front cabinet glass for a few moments, Tanizaki also looked forward, but found nothing: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I want a Coke!"

"Okay, I'll go buy it now."

"I want it to be iced!"

"well."

After leaving Tanizaki, Luanbu walked towards the street in front without hesitation. This is the street where clothing stores of various brands gather, but Luanbu kept walking until he came to the entrance of a kimono store.

A girl was standing at the door looking in, her eyes seemed to be looking for someone, but she didn't seem to find it, so she changed to another store and continued to look for it with her eyes.

The strange thing is that the people passing by didn't seem to notice this girl who was as beautiful as a doll, or people who noticed it by accident quickly forgot after passing a street corner, and no one came to talk to this confused girl for a long time. girl.

Edogawa Ranpo just walked up to the girl carelessly, seeing that she ignored him, he said angrily: "You can't find it if you search like this! Is the scope the whole Yokohama, or the whole world? You want to find it like this!" when to go?!"

The girl finally reacted, turned around, and stared at Ranbu with big ruby-like eyes in doubt, as if asking 'how did you know? '

Although she didn't ask aloud, Ranbu could see it from her eyes, and curled her lips: "Isn't it obvious, someone nearby has witnessed the voice of the hell girl, but your track is too erratic , the website can't be logged in... It doesn't look like you are 'working', it's more like looking for something, and you have no purpose at all, like a headless chicken, plus here..."

He looked at the kimono on Xiao Ai: "You bought your kimono in this store, right? You need human currency to buy clothes. Who brought you here and picked it for you, and this person should be the one who created you. , Husheng Xingluo, right?"

"Are you looking for him?"

Xiao Ai neither denied nor affirmed, just like a puppet without any expression, turned around and continued to search aimlessly.

Edogawa was not in a hurry, he followed Xiao Ai, watching her walk the streets and alleys, looking for the impossible person in the crowd in vain.

In the end, I couldn't even watch Luanbu anymore, and couldn't help but say: "Hey..."

He suddenly stopped talking, and Xiao Ai squatted down on the spot, her back turned to Luanbu, unable to see her expression clearly.

Ranbu's chest was suddenly congested, and he scratched his head a little irritably: "Ah, really."

He took a step forward, pulled Xiao Ai up, and looked directly into her eyes: "It's too wasteful to search for efficiency here. You know the detective agency, even if it specializes in accepting commissions, we also accept people's work."

"You want to help me?" Xiao Ai tilted her head.

"Of course it's not free. We are hostile to the person you follow. Be aware that we will ask you for information."

Xiao Ai lowered her head, as if she was thinking, Luanbu didn't rush to ask him, and stood there waiting for Xiao Ai's answer.

Finally, Xiao Ai nodded.

Luan Bu smiled and pulled Xiao Ai back: "Then let's go, other people should come to me."

Behind what Luan Bu couldn't see, Xiao Ai made a V in her heart.

Same as planned.

Xiao Ai has an impression of Luanbu. The detective who came to him at the beginning was a very clever detective. When she was with Xingluo before, Xingluo often praised his brains.

If anyone could help her win hide and seek, it was this one.

Of course, it probably wouldn't work if the entrustment came up directly, Xiao Ai hadn't forgotten that they were hostile to each other.

Although Xing Luo doesn't seem to hate this group of people, according to Xing Luo's statement, it is the temporary hostility caused by the current inconsistency of interests, but this relationship may be subverted at any time, and human beings will always unite when there is a bigger enemy. Together.

Xiao Ai still doesn't understand the principle of being too complicated, but when playing games, Xing Luo has taught her how to use everything around her.

Yes, no matter what other people think, Xiao Ai always thinks that this is another game with Xing Luo, and the purpose of playing games is to win.

Xiao Ai has always been serious about playing games.
