Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

All morning, Oda Shingo was on a journey to repay the money.

Because Japanese universities have classes in the morning, which is different from the corporate habit of not starting work until noon, so it is the first choice to pay back classmates first.

Tokyo University of the Arts.

Several college classmates that Oda Shingo owed money to have already been there, including the school tutor.

Many people expressed surprise that he could pay back the money, and most of them were skeptical of his character.

But at least he couldn't be left out in the cold to pay back the money, not to mention that Oda Shingo came with a fruit box and other small gifts.

So everything goes smoothly.

"I'm very sorry. I'm so grateful that you were able to lend me the money."

"I'm sorry. I've done a lot of inappropriate things before. Please forgive me."

"Thank you very much. It's late to pay back the money. I'm really ignorant and have caused you trouble."

He kept bowing and apologizing, and his attitude was quite sincere.

Even if the debtor is away, he or she will apologize in person over the phone, leave a gift, and transfer money online.

Of course, there are also mobile phones that have blocked him. If you can't get in touch at the moment, you can only ask someone else to say hello.

After all, he must repay the debt owed by the original person. It can be regarded as compensation for taking up part of the body.

"Oda-kun, I'm happy for you that you can pay back the money." His tutor said to him, "I look forward to the day when you return to school!"

"Thank you for keeping me in mind." Oda Shingo stood straight and bowed slowly at 90 degrees, "Soon! I estimate that within a few months, I will be back to study! Then I will bother you again!"

Oda Shingo had already made plans.

I need to improve my painting skills. If my painting skills are not good, in other words, there is a lot of room for improvement.

You can't rely on Namikaze Yukuru alone, and she is also his junior schoolmate. The more she improves her skills, the more she can draw better works.

Namikaze Yukuru's painting skills were rated 82 points by the system. If it could be improved to 90 points or above, would he be able to draw the level of "Violet Evergarden"? This is very exciting.

The instructor slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered: "By the way, that's a coincidence. There is a very beautiful first-year girl who came to inquire about you."

"First grade girl?"

"She heard that you had a debt among your classmates and wanted to help you pay it off, but I dissuaded her."

"Thank you, teacher. That girl has long legs and a bit of a cold temperament."

"Yes, those legs are long. But they are so cold... I blush slightly when I mention your name."

"Thank you very much."

The instructor smiled meaningfully and waved his hand: "You must pay attention to safety and don't cause any deaths!"

"..."

Next, I had to go to the place where I had to pay back the money, which was the comic studio where I worked before.

The top author of this comic studio is Takeda Takeda.

The series of works currently being published in Qunyingsha's main issue "Jump" has come to an end.

Previously, Shingo Oda, as a part-time worker, joined the film near the completion of the final draft.

Ding dong, ring the doorbell.

"Hello." A woman's voice soon came, it was the female assistant who had lent money to Oda Shingo before.

Oda Shingo stood at attention at the door: "Sorry to bother you. It's me, Oda Shingo."

In fact, this is a video doorbell, you can see inside.

"Huh? Is that you?" The female assistant's surprised voice came from inside.

From the intercom, a man's voice came faintly: "Huh? Is it Oda Shingo? It can't really be him, is it? What a coincidence?"

This is another male assistant, Xiaohu.

Oda Shingo's mind turned. The original person once borrowed money from this male assistant, but he was scolded a few times and did not help.

There's nothing to complain about. He's not your adoptive father, so why should I lend him to you? What's more, I've only known him for a few weeks as a wage earner.

As for why the male assistant Xiaofu just said "Qiao"? There seems to be something else hidden in the words.

The door opened quickly.

The female assistant Reiko was waiting at the door: "Ah, Oda-kun, is there something wrong?"

"I'm here today to visit my former colleagues." Oda Shingo politely handed over the fruit basket.

It costs a lot of money to buy a portion of fruit every time. Fruits in Tokyo are relatively expensive. Of course, the amount varies, depending on the amount borrowed by the other party and the time of default.

"Ah, Oda Shingo, you want to borrow money again?" The female assistant Reiko did not reach out to take the fruit basket.

Oda Shingo understood immediately.

It is quite common for the debtor to come and get some gifts, but then continue to default on the loan, or even plan to borrow more money.

It seems that the impression I left on the other party is really bad.

"No, no, I'm here to repay the loan today." Oda Shingo put the fruit basket aside temporarily and took out an envelope, "This is the 30,000 yen I want to repay you, with 1,000 yen in interest. "

Oda Shingo kept bowing when he spoke, because he really respects such a good person - a colleague who is not familiar with him. He can lend his predecessor 30,000 yen, and after delaying it, he only pressed for it without swearing. He is really a good person.

"Ah, you're so polite." The female assistant Reiko was stunned for a moment and quickly took the envelope. Seeing that there were actually three brand-new 10,000 yen bills inside, she quickly took out the extra 1,000 yen bills. , "How can we collect interest from a turnover among colleagues..."

"No, no, I need it. You can give me a little help when I'm in trouble. Thank you very much." Oda Shingo bowed ninety degrees.

He bowed ninety degrees to everyone who lent him money.

If you can lend money to others, you are really a good person. Although the money was borrowed from his predecessor, the other party deserves his respect.

"Oh hey, oh hey. Here comes the man who wants to eat his colleagues?" At this time, the male assistant Xiaofu walked out of the studio and said in a thick Hokkaido accent: "Reiko, please don't lend him any money again. This kind of scam happens often. You may borrow more next time and you will never pay it back!”

His scolding words continued.

"You, a useless loser, still have the nerve to appear here?"

"How much did you pay back this time? You want to make a good impression so you can borrow more, right?"

"Where did you borrow the money from? I'm afraid you are tearing down the east wall to pay for the west wall!"

Reiko turned around and tugged on Xiaofu's clothes.

Oda Shingo acted as if he didn't hear anything, and handed the fruit basket over with both hands: "Thanks to the two seniors for taking care of me before. Please forgive me for any inappropriateness."

"What are you doing?" The male assistant Xiaofu was a little surprised.

"I'm just expressing a little bit of my feelings. I'm a stupid person and there's no better way. So, I'll take my leave." Oda Shingo bowed again.

The male assistant, Xiaofu, hugged his shoulders and said in a strange tone: "You've been exposed to the scam, so you want to leave, right?"

Reiko took the flower basket and opened her mouth, wanting to say please sit down for a while, but she felt a little embarrassed at the studio - Oda Shingo was fired and had a quarrel with Takeda Takeda, the head of the studio.

"Um... you paid money, did you find a new job?" Assistant Reiko asked tentatively.

"Yes. Thanks for your concern, I now have a stable income." Oda Shingo nodded in thanks.

If it were anyone else, they might show off that they could pay back the money today, which would be a long story. What is this signing fee? The web serialization has already started, and I also have people under my command...

But Oda Shingo is not a character.

He bowed and said goodbye.

When he opened the door and was about to go out, a thick voice suddenly came from the studio.

"Oda Shingo, I just heard this name. I didn't expect it to be the trash I've seen before!"

Following the heavy footsteps of slippers, a middle-aged fat man slowly walked out.

It's Takeda Takeda, the head of this manga studio.

"Teacher Goda." The two assistants, Reiko and Xiaofu, both took a step away.

Takeda Goda walked to the entrance and looked at Oda Shingo from a high position with a look of disdain on his face.

Oda Shingo looked at him expressionlessly. The words and attitude are such that there is no need to bow to be polite.

He said [just heard about it]? What's the meaning?

In my memory, the conflict between the original person and him was a disagreement about the character's arrangement in the new plot. From a professional point of view, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

Of course, from the perspective of workplace habits and status, it is wrong for workers to not listen to the arrangements of the cartoonist and even get into disputes.

"...My new book will be on the same battlefield as you." Takeda Takeda stared at Oda Shingo for a few seconds before continuing, "You will taste the power of the official cartoonist!"

After saying this, he slowly turned his fat body and walked back inside.

Oda Shingo frowned slightly, took out his phone and took a look.

After receiving it, I immediately sent a text message of thanks to Saburo Mikami.

But he hasn't texted me back yet.

At this moment, Saburo Mikami sent a line message.

"Oda-kun, are you free at ten o'clock tonight? Let's celebrate the debut of your work."

Oda Shingo replied immediately.

But he knew something happened in Qunying Society...
