Chapter 725: Steel
Without the wings to fly freely in the sky, without the fangs and claws to hunt and kill real things, humans ......
Born weakling!
However, such a weak person has continued civilization in one war after another, and has multiplied from ancient times to the present day and has not yet died!
Although human beings are inherently weak, at the really critical moment, there will always be some people who are cowardly and weak before, show a resolute and resolute side, and burst out with great strength...... Or the so-called "strong heart"!
So the continuation of humanity, this is not accidental...... It's inevitable!
In the manga "Gate of the Stone of Destiny", the male protagonist Rentaro Okabe is such a human being!
From the beginning of the manga, Rentaro, who was hopeless at the end of the second year of middle school, is not at all like the main characters in other manga, and there is something that readers like...... At least until the plot of the manga really begins, the setting of Rentaro's [Severe Middle Two Disease] can only make readers feel [pleasure] from his clumsy words and deeds like a clown to please the audience!
It is said that the audience who laughed when they saw the clown performing on stage was, in a sense, like a certain mapo priest, who opened the door to a new world of pleasure...... Well, let's not talk about the despicability of human nature for the time being!
But when the manga "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" entered the plot of "God Turn", all the words and deeds of Rentaro, as well as all the delusions of being killed, gradually became a reality......
Perhaps most readers, when they first see such a plot twist, will be fascinated by the way the manga plot unfolds, and will rarely pay attention to Rentaro's transformation...... At least when I first observed the manga!
In the early stages of development, Rentaro received threatening emails...... At that time, Rentaro just had a bad feeling, and that [mystery のominous premonition] was quickly diluted by the success and joy brought by the research!
When Mayuri dies in front of Rentaro for the first time, Rentaro is truly afraid...... However, at that time, Rentaro was just stimulated by Mayuri's death and witnessed the fear of his life passing, not because he had the fear of "I actually researched such a terrifying machine"!
In order to save Mayuri, Rentaro made [Time Jump] again and again, and struggled and despaired in defeat again and again...... Rentaro finally understood his weakness and realized his incompetence in the reincarnation of what seemed to be a dead loop!
"There is no meaning without a lesson that accompanies pain, because there is no gain without sacrifice...... However, when this pain is overcome, one will gain a strong heart that will not yield to anything! Yes, a heart of steel!"
As stated in the epilogue of the final chapter of "Steel Forge", after experiencing the cycle of powerlessness, despair and decadence, Rentaro has a resolute and resolute heart of steel!
Therefore, when faced with the difficult choice of "Mayuri and his assistant can only choose one or the other", Rentaro was able to muster up the courage to choose and accept the consequences when he had to make the final choice, despite struggling several times and hesitating...... From this point alone, Rentaro has indeed changed!
Although he still speaks the words of the middle two with unknown meaning, as the only protagonist who can retain his memory in the change of the world line, behind the hoarse sorrow, there is an iron heart that can withstand pain!
The final words of the manga "Gate of the Stone of Destiny" are the stage to witness Rentaro's resolute and resolute side!
From the failed action to save the tsundere assistant, Rentaro, who was already desperate, received help from his future self! Under the prompting of his future self, he finally found a way to save the tsundere assistant......
There is no need to change the established facts, but to try to deceive!
Deceive yourself who witnessed the whole event at that time, deceive ...... The whole world!
Whether it's comics or not, one of the most exciting moments for the observer...... It is at the moment when the protagonist rushes from despair and darkness to the light!
So, when Yoshida saw that Rentaro in the manga manuscript finally found a way to save Tsundere's assistant, he couldn't help but cry out excitedly...... Of course, because of the act of [suddenly making a voice to frighten a certain middle two manga artist], Yoshida had to accept some proposals from a certain middle two manga artist full of bad taste, and atone for his sins by letting the other party get [pleasure]!!
There are still some unfinished manga "Gate of Destiny Stone" manga manuscripts in his hand, but Yoshida is not in a hurry to continue reading, but instead stares at a certain middle school second cartoonist who is lying on the table writing and drawing with a surprised face......
"My family is a cat, is there something wrong? For the sake of my good mood today...... "A certain secondary manga artist could feel Yoshida's suspicious eyes even though he didn't look up...... In other words, don't underestimate the fierce nature of the Demon God Phoenix Courtyard who has mastered the [Intuition]!
“…… This is not Makoto's style!!" Yoshida, who had been hesitating for a long time, said as he spoke!
"Hah, my family is a cat, what are you talking about? What is not my style?" a certain secondary cartoonist finally stopped what he was doing, looked up at Yoshida, and asked with some puzzlement, "Although I admit that your bizarre way of questioning did succeed in diverting my attention...... But if you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'll consider extending your [hanging] time today!"
"The final ending of the manga "Gate of the Stone of Destiny"...... It's a happy ending, isn't it!?" Although I asked a certain secondary two manga artist again, Yoshida's tone was quite determined!"Although I haven't seen the ending yet, according to your foreshadowing, the ending should be Rentaro's successful rescue of his assistant......"
"So, are you showing off your barren IQ?" a secondary cartoonist interrupted the other party's words with a wave of his hand, and mocked unceremoniously, "The plot of the last sentence has almost been watched, and you haven't figured out what the ending is until now......
"Sure enough, it was a happy ending...... Is it?" Yoshida heard that a certain middle school cartoonist did not deny it, and his face showed a complicated look, and he sighed again, "It's really not like Ah Cheng's style! According to Ah Cheng's character, aren't the endings all the kind of [depressing] system that comes with the reader sending a blade? You would actually design a happy ending......
"Hey, hey, my family is a cat, I can't pretend I didn't hear it!" Regarding Yoshida's obvious [cognitive impairment], a secondary and secondary cartoonist expressed his unconvinced!"What do you mean by 'actually designing a happy ending'...... Is there anything wrong with me painting like this?"
"Of course!" Yoshida looked like a matter of course, which made a certain middle school cartoonist very popular!"Ah Cheng, you have serialized so many heartbroken and resentful plots, and now you have suddenly serialized a comic with a happy ending...... Don't you think that's very inconsistent?"
A mad man like you has suddenly found out in his conscience that he wants to clear his name...... Hmph! It's wishful thinking!
In fact, what Yoshida wanted to say was originally supposed to be like this......
However, considering the strength and bad taste of a second-class cartoonist, the editor in charge of a weekly magazine decisively chose a more euphemistic way of expression!
