Chapter 55: I'm Not That Great
Although the time agreed with Makoto Takahashi was in the evening, Yoshida was much earlier. As soon as it was getting dark, Yoshida arrived at Makoto Takahashi's doorstep. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard Makoto Takahashi's low laughter coming from inside!
Like a demon god whose seal has been broken, the arrogant and wanton laughter seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and it has been recalled in Yoshida's mind for a long time! Yoshida shook his head hard, trying to expel this voice, but instead of succeeding, he heard the girl's voice!
& Is a little ghost at this age? Or ......" Yoshida was a little puzzled, and put his ear to the door, wanting to hear the specific situation!
Yoshida swallowed hard and gently pushed the door open! Just a few seconds before he pushed the door, Yoshida had imagined countless scenes in his mind, such as Makoto Takahashi doing certain activities that were not suitable for children!
The moment the door was opened, Yoshida realized that he was thinking too naïve, underestimating Makoto Takahashi too much!
In the middle of the room, a girl was hanging in the center, her head bowed, her face covered by her long hair! On the table in front of her, there were plates of delicious dishes...... And Makoto Takahashi, like the villain in the film and television drama, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, with a weird smile on his face, holding a black notebook in his hand, and what was written on it!
"Makoto Hashi, what are you doing?" Yoshida looked shocked.
&&As you see, I'm educating the thief who sneaked into my room!" Makoto Takahashi said to Yoshida with a smile, but the smile on his face was a little creepy!"My family is a cat, do you want to participate together?"
"......" Yoshida walked over in the dark, wanting to put down the girl who was bound, but was stopped by Makoto Takahashi!
>Tsk, my family cat, you're still too naïve!" Makoto Takahashi shook his head with a sneer, "If you can't leave a deep mark on your soul like this, you'll do it again in the future!"
"Brother-in-law Makoto Hashi, I'm really sorry!" the girl spoke, raised her head, and looked at Makoto Takahashi with tears in her eyes, "Please, can you let me eat something......?"
"Are you Calamus?eldest grandson Calamus?" Yoshida was surprised this time, and turned his head to look at Makoto Takahashi with a puzzled expression, "What's going on?"
"Do you want to sell Moe and beg for mercy, the minions of the Great Demon King Ogata?" Makoto Takahashi smiled unscrupulously, picked up the dish on the table, and walked in front of Calamus, "Do you want to eat it? Tell me yourself, how many times has this been?"
&I don't dare anymore!" Calamus's tone was weak, and even Yoshida on the side couldn't stand it anymore!
&dare?" Takahashi sneered, "This is the seventh time you've said such a thing, right?" Calamus, don't think that if you steal the key from Her Royal Highness the Princess, you can come to my house and steal food at will, the mechanism I arranged is not only like that!
& Calamus looked at Makoto Takahashi with an aggrieved face, "I'm hungry!"
& Li's laxative, after taking it, I just feel hungry?" Takahashi Makoto looked at the small bottle in his hand with some confusion, then turned to Yoshida, and said with a straight face, "My family is a cat, as you can see, this woman is not a human at all!"
“……”
Yoshida didn't pay any attention to Makoto Takahashi's words at all, but quickly put the iris down. Then I saw that the calamus, who had a pale face before, quickly pounced on Makoto Takahashi...... No, to be exact, the target of the iris is the plate with the food in Makoto Takahashi's hand!
In Makoto Takahashi's expression, Yoshida, who was shocked, watched Calamus eat all the dishes on the table at an inhuman speed!
& I'm full, thank you brother-in-law for your hospitality!" After eating the food, the iris is completely resurrected, where is there still the weak look before?
"Of course, you keep calling my brother-in-law, but as a minion of the Ogata Great-Demon King......" Makoto Takahashi let out threatening words, "If you come back next time, I'll hang you for an hour!, no, maybe I should have some whips and candles for you......"
&Is it?" Calamus completely lost her previous weakness, but looked at Makoto Takahashi with a provocative eye, "You know, Sister Rina is there ......"
&As soon as you encounter an unfavorable situation, use Her Royal Highness the princess as a shield!Sure enough, it's as bad as the Great Demon King of Ogata!" Makoto Takahashi sighed, his eyes shining coldly, "If you still want to eat what I made, agree to what I said before, otherwise...... From now on, I'll order takeout every day!"
&Takeout is not good for your health!" Calamus taught Makoto Takahashi very harshly, her eyes rolled, and a smile unique to a little devil appeared on her face, "Then I will tell Sister Rina that my brother-in-law wants to eat the food she made herself......"
"......" Makoto Takahashi turned his head to look at Yoshida, "My dependents are cats, drag this demon girl out and behead it!"
In the end, under the coercion of Makoto Takahashi's eyes that wanted Ling Chi someone, Irisa still left! Yoshida was very helpless, temporarily changed to become a driver's uncle, and sent Calamus to his home!
By the time Yoshida returned to Makoto Takahashi's house, it was already ten o'clock in the evening! Originally, Yoshida was going to go home directly, but Makoto Takahashi wanted Yoshida to come over and discuss the comics.
>> What do you want to discuss?" Yoshida was curious, and he had the impression that Makoto Takahashi took the initiative to discuss manga-related matters, but it rarely happened!
& Let's finish reading the fourth episode first, and then we're discussing!" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida expectantly.
&The trouble of the alchemist?" Yoshida turned out to be a manga draft, his face was strange, and he looked at Makoto Takahashi, "It won't be that again......"
Seeing that Makoto Takahashi didn't reply, Yoshida had some suspicions that he was thinking too much, and began to look through the manga draft!
The content of the fourth episode is about Dazuo's introduction to the two Edward brothers to a 'life-embellished alchemist' Xiu Tucker. Two years ago, Tucker succeeded in refining a synthetic beast that could understand human language, and became an authoritative task in the refining of living beings! The two brothers searched for information in Tucker's house in order to find a way to recover their bodies! During this time, the Edward brothers became very friendly with Tucker's daughter Nina! On the other hand, Tucker was anxious about the upcoming 'censorship' of the national alchemist that would take place once a year......
When he saw this, Yoshida suddenly had an ominous premonition, and sped up the speed of flipping through the comics! Sure enough, as Yoshida expected, Tucker actually refined his daughter Nina and the white dog Alexander into synthetic beasts in order to pass the so-called 'censorship'!
>> What's going on!" Yoshida saw this, and almost roared and threw the manga manuscript on the table, "Obviously, the content of the third episode is so inspiring, why is the content of the fourth episode so dark!"
"......" Makoto Takahashi didn't speak, because even back then, when he saw this, he had a creepy feeling, obviously it was summer, but he felt the indescribable chill behind him!
&The content of the word, no, absolutely not!" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi without saying a word, and sat on the sofa a little weakly, "Makoto Takahashi, the content of your words is too dark! Although after that, Edward, who was angry, beat Tucker severely, but ......"
"Alchemists are not gods, nor demons, but real human beings!" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida and finally explained, "I remember mentioning in the comics that national alchemists are called the lackeys of the army, do you think that every national alchemist is like the two Edward brothers? Also, darkness exists to set off hope! You don't understand why Edward is angry!"
"......" Yoshida showed a thoughtful look and did not answer! After a while, Yoshida picked up the sketch on the table again, forcibly endured the depression in his heart, and looked at it seriously again.
&If you want to get something, you have to give something, this is called equivalent exchange!" Takahashi Makoto borrowed the theme of "Fullmetal Alchemist" and continued to explain to Yoshida, "This part of Tucker's story is very load-bearing and dark, I admit it>!
& I know what you're trying to say, Makoto Takahashi!" Yoshida's face softened slightly, but his tone was still very polite, "But this kind of story is too cruel, for the Edward brothers, and for the readers! Can't you think about the readers' feelings a little?"
"It's because I like it, so I'm dissatisfied!" Readers are looking forward to the perfect work, so I don't allow a little flaw! Although what you said is very true, can I stop and not draw?"
"Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi with a straight face, and suddenly changed the subject, "But ah, manga is such a thing, it's better to have something more inspiring!"
"I want to make everyone feel motivated by a comic?" I'm sorry, I'm not that great! I'm the Demon King, and I'm the one who created the world after destroying the world! How could such a thing as redeeming humanity happen to me?"
&......Yes" Yoshida wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Makoto Takahashi!
&The ranking of the word will definitely drop, because many people can't accept it!" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida, a hint of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, "But so what? If you feel afraid and scared because of this, and change the existence of the classic at will, then how can you become a demon king?"
& Tian yo, Jin Da back then, when he cuckolded Yang Daxia, he was besieged and intercepted by readers, but he still insisted on writing it!" Takahashi Makoto's eyes showed a hint of admiration, "I'm not that great! But even so, I will continue to paint, whether it is dark or ghostly animals, I will carry everything! I will still insist on painting until the end of my life! Because I ...... If you don't even have this awareness, how can you become a demon king?"
