Chapter 636: Effective Hedging Methods

Now that the manga "Fate" has already started to be serialized, it means that Yoshida, as the editor-in-charge of the weekly magazine, will also have to follow the usual practice to collect the manga drafts needed for serialization on time every week!

Although Yoshida had already received enough manga drafts from Makoto Takahashi to support the three-episode serialization, it was originally common sense that Yoshida should not have come to collect manga drafts in person in a short period of time...... However, today Yoshida still came to Makoto Takahashi's house, because a responsible editor found something and had to come to the door for verification!

"Hey, Cheng, can you tell me...... What's going on with the anime "Fate\Zero"?" That's right, the reason why Yoshida came to the door to question Makoto Takahashi was that the manga "Fate", which had just started to be serialized in the weekly magazine, actually had a trailer for the anime version...... However, not only the editorial department of the weekly magazine "Shonen Jumk" did not know about the anime of the manga, but even Yoshida, who was the editor in charge, did not know the news!

"Hey, have you noticed it?tsk, I didn't expect you to be quite kind to my family cat......" For Yoshida, who looked a little excited, Takahashi Makoto pouted unhappily, "Obviously, when the comics haven't started to be serialized, you are still full of grievances and complaints...... Sure enough, it's because of my dependent cat, you have too much contact with humans, so you are also infected by the [tsundere] attribute hidden by humans!?"

"Don't change the subject for me!" Listening to Makoto Takahashi complaining about his arrogance or something, Yoshida's face was full of unhappiness, "The manga that hasn't been verified by readers has been directly animated or something...... Isn't the Taiga Society worried about ......?"

"Hah, my family is a cat, I can't treat that kind of speech of yours as if I didn't hear it!" Although Yoshida didn't finish his sentence for various reasons, Takahashi Makoto heard the skeptical tone of a certain editor in charge, "I'm worried that the animation will not work well or something...... Hmph, my family belongs to the cat, who do you think the author of this comic is? Completed this masterpiece, but the mad demon god cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard is really fierce! Anyway, who gave you the courage to dare to question the real decision of the mad demon god Phoenix Courtyard!?"

"The person who should say this should be me, right!?" In the face of the fierce coercion of the Crazy Demon God Phoenix Academy, Yoshida, who had been tempered for a long time, was barely able to resist it by eyesight...... If it were Yoshida in the past, maybe he would have knelt directly under the pressure of Makoto Takahashi's murderous gaze!"Whether it's a manga or an anime, Makoto, you are so convinced that the existence of the film called "Fate" will become a masterpiece...... Where does this confidence come from?"

"Of course, it's because of the depth of love!" Makoto Takahashi put on an expression of "You don't even understand this truth", and looked at his responsible editor who was completely confused with disdain, "The reason why you don't understand my family cat...... That's because you don't love well enough!"

"Yes, yes, I don't love enough...... Pious!" After the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Yoshida still said that strange word with difficulty! "But Makoto...... Anyway, why didn't you tell me about the animation of the manga before?"

"Ahh......h Don't you think your logic is very problematic?" Makoto Takahashi shook his head helplessly, "The four-eyed fox prayed to the great mad demon god Phoenix Temple, eager to get a popular anime, and after feeling his devout love for the anime among the offerings offered by the four-eyed fox, the kind-hearted and benevolent demon god Phoenix Temple was merciful enough to provide the animation script called "Fate\Zero"...... So, these things have nothing to do with the editorial side of the weekly magazine, why do you want to tell my family cat?"

"Uh...... This...... Truly...... But ......" Yoshida suddenly felt that it seemed that Makoto Takahashi's words were very reasonable, and he couldn't even refute them...... After all, if you follow Makoto Takahashi's words, if Taigasha invites a certain manga artist to provide a script or something, there is really no obligation to inform the weekly magazine at all!

"If you're worried about copyright, huh...... It can only be said that mortal bones are just mediocre talents after all, and the things they think about are always so stupid and superficial!" Looking at Yoshida, who was in silence, Makoto Takahashi seemed to feel the [pleasure] brought by mocking the other party, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and continued, "The successor of the former commander, my family cat, the current leader of your editorial side, is not as unbearable as you...... According to the information fed back by the four-eyed fox, in order to convince the other party, it took a lot of time to say!

"Eh, did the editor-in-chief know about this!?" As the editor-in-charge of the weekly magazine, not only did he not get the news from the manga artist in charge of him in the first place, but he didn't even tell the editor-in-chief about this kind of thing...... You can imagine how depressed Yoshida is now!" but why...... Wait, Cheng, you're not lying to me again, are you?"

"Deception...... Hearing Yoshida's suspicious questioning, Makoto Takahashi shook his head disdainfully, took out his mobile phone from his white coat and shook it at Yoshida, "Then my family is a cat, do you need to call the new commander to confirm? Why didn't the new commander reveal any news to you...... As far as I can tell, it may be that the adult, like me, has noticed that my family cat is not very fond of manga enough!"

“…… Is it still the same reason!?" After being repeatedly complained by the manga artists under his command that he was not pious enough to love manga, Yoshida said that he felt a little hurt in a place that he couldn't describe!

"Anyway, my family belongs to the cat, since you're here......" Looking at Yoshida, who was about to leave with a tangled and depressed face, Makoto Takahashi suddenly stopped the other party, "Then do you need to read the comic manuscript of the fourth episode of the manga "Fate"?"

"Eh, the content of the new sentence has been ...... It's done!?" After stopping, Yoshida had a surprised look on his face, and as he turned to walk towards Makoto Takahashi, he didn't forget to mutter, "It's still as fast as ever...... In other words, if Ah Cheng can be eliminated in terms of personality, no, maybe as long as he reduces some bad taste a little, it would be great!"

“…… Ding Dingjisan, I'm sorry!I think I should retract what I said about you!" I thought I was muttering and complaining quietly, and it was impossible for a certain secondary cartoonist to hear it...... But Yoshida really underestimates Makoto Takahashi too much!"Compared to my family cat, Ding Ding Jisan is a little greedy to your degree...... It's so small!"

“…… Should I say I'm grateful now?" Uncle Ding Ding, who originally planned to be a quiet soy sauce all the time, paused slightly to understand the intention of a certain secondary cartoonist after hearing Makoto Takahashi involve himself in the conversation, "And Ah Cheng, don't worry! I won't say it!"

"Hmph, I hope so......" After seeing Uncle Tintin so cooperative, Takahashi Makoto pursed his lips without a trace, "Hey! Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to let Pavlov show off the skills he had recently mastered......

"I don't know what the hell is the new skill you said, but this feeling of the rest of your life after the catastrophe ......" looked sympathetically at Yoshida, the editor in charge who was targeted by a certain middle school second manga artist, Uncle Ding Ding once again used the [Manga Artist Assistant Mode] to successfully reduce his presence significantly......!" I'm sorry, Yoshida-kun!"

Dead friends don't die poor...... This is the most effective way to avoid danger when getting along with a secondary two cartoonist!
